About this listen

A Los Angeles mom and her two teenage/young adult daughters (21 and 19) are the Bachelor Nation Newbies. The Newbies discovered The Bachelor during the pandemic in Spring of 2020 when watching the 2009 Jason Mesnick Season on Netflix.

Each week we're sharing both our newbie Bachelor Nation perspective and glimpses into our family dynamics during an unedited conversation about life, love and everything in between as we use The Bachelor/The Bachelorette as a conduit for a fresh, mom/daughters conversation. Perfect for a Bachelor fix on your daily dog walk or while folding laundry. Whether you're new like us, a veteran BN fanatic or just interested in topics like love, dating, mom/daughter relationships, moving away to college, feminism, reality television, life with a Husky, an old Chihuahua, and much more - join us as our bachelor journey continues to unfold.

  • Episode 5: Finally! The Newbies Gather on a Spring Sunday to Discuss the FINALE OF JOEY'S Love Journey!
    Apr 8 2024

    The Newbies have been living their boss ass bitch lives and have not had much time to discuss the time suck that is love reality television. BUT the girls just had to gather to celebrate the end of Joey's love journey because of the life-changing effect Joey has had on each of them. Kinda.

    The Newbies discuss a variety of topics including Phoebe's desire to not "adult"; Natalia Grace comparisons; valuable mom advice about "smoking weed"; the shock that Daisy was not the chosen one; their love of girl empowerment; did the producers lead everyone else on by trying to hide the natural connection between Joey and Kelsea and do they really have a fighting chance to last? ; and again how much Daisy's rising above the BS was so inspiring and much more!!

  • Episode 5: The Newbies Discuss The Fact that the Younger Generation are Back On the Traditional Relationship Grind; Joey's Polar Plunge Adventure; and Timing in Love
    Mar 4 2024

    It's a Sunday and the Newbies gather to discuss the last two episodes of Joey's love journey as he round the final turn towards hometowns. The expert tear wiper is primed and ready to go for hometowns visits with four amazing women - one of whom could most definitely be "his person." If only she could just stop doubting this amazing process! :)

    Per usual, the Newbies find themselves discussing unexpected love tangents. Topics for this week's episode include whether or not the rate of divorce amongst parents of Claire and Phoebe's peers has inspired a desire for long term commitment and forever love; how timing in love is much more important when you're young; how threatening to "walk away" does not instill confidence in your partner; and disgusting Elk Milk is; and so much more.

  • Episode 4: The Newbies Discuss Whether or Not Joey is Actually AI-Generated; Why Lea Ruined the Word "Peep"; and Whether or Not Insecurity is Ever Attractive
    Feb 19 2024

    Despite the absolute time suck of watching this week's FOUR HOUR BLOCK of Joey's European Love Journey, the Newbies share this week's pod in a semi-timely fashion.

    This week's topics include fake eyelashes; the confusion of the dumb, never-ending Maria drama which has been picked up by Lea after Sidney left; the continued tendency to "one-up" each other when it comes to traumatic pasts; the Newbies affection for how Maria expressed her past trauma; how Phoebe expressed the difference between connection and competition when it comes to being vulnerable; the fact that we would NEVER eat that sausage with all that make-up and face oil on it; and how much we really loved Joey's vulnerability with his feet issue and his pronouncement that he's the "fun size bachelor" and much more.

    Rate and review us wherever you listen please and spread the word!

    Here's to love!
