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!!

Thank you for joining us for Season 8 of our BNN adventure!! Please rate and review us if you have a moment and share our mother-daughter chat with a friend!!!

Not sure we will be back for Jenn's love journey but we may do Bachelor in Paradise!!

Here's to mothers and daughters and here's to love!!!

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.

Rate and review us please wherever you listen!! Here's to love!!

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.

Here's to love!

The Newbies battle through some Monday night low energy to discuss the nosedive that Joey's love journey took during Episode 3. With Bachelor producers struggling to make BIG drama between Maria and Sidney when it's really NO drama is all just a bit depressing.

Other topics include the Newbies discussing the value of pageants and why Phoebe never decided to be in one; the fact that Sidney is obviously a plant in this season; why Joey is so fine to play along with all this Bachelor crap; the fact that Joey didn't replace the magnetic part of Daisy's implant when she asked if he wanted to touch it; the value of doing scary things together (like surfing) on a first date; the new term the Newbies have coined - "intimacy accelerator" and much more!

Here's to love and Happy Valentine's Day!!

With rain falling in epic proportions from Southern California skies, the Newbies have a cozy afternoon girl chat about all things romance and love.

Topics for this week's episode including whether or not any romantic moments in real life ever live up to the expectations that a Bachelor finale sets; is romantic love baked into our cultural expectations or are we only driven by the human desire to love and be loved; the excitement of butterflies and growing love; how The Bachelor is truly just good ol'fashioned fun; how both Daisy and Edwina made us all cry; and honestly just how perfect Joey is.

Here's to Love!

It's hard to believe the Newbies missed the cultural moment that was The Golden Bachelor, but sometimes life demands other endeavors. BUT the Newbies couldn't miss the opportunity to add their mother/daughter commentary for what will certainly be the most epic love journey of all time. (And the most dramatic season finale ever, for sure.)

In the pod's Season Premiere, the Newbies discuss whether or not the "banana" move was appropriate or not; whether sisters wanting to kiss the same guy is appropriate or not (uh, no); whether Lea was too dramatic over the secret note card; whether or not Daisy is simply the most lovable of the bunch (she is); and much much more.

Rate and review if you would please! And here's to LOVE!!!

The Newbies are in three separate locations as the girls are settled back in college - Phoebe for her sophomore year and Claire for her senior year!! Where are the time gone. BNN started in January of Claire's freshmen year. CRAZY!!!

The Newbies talk a lot about growth and new chapters this episode as they mourn Joey's departure but also celebrate him being the new bachelor! Other topics include LETTING GO; how Charity and Dotun seem like they're in it for the LONG GAME TRULY; and how heartbreak is just part of the love journey so let's embrace it; and more!

Thank you to our loyal following for sharing in the journey! Let us know if you want us to BNN during Joey's Bachelor, The Golden Bachelor or Bachelor in Paradise or all of the above!

Rate and review us wherever you listen and here's to LOVE FOR CHARITY AND DOTUN!

As the Newbies try to catch up to Charity's blistering fast love journey, the discussion per usual starts on an extreme tangent surrounding Claire's new life farming dream that started on her Pinterest board in 5th grade.

The Newbies' Sunday morning brains are slow to focus on Charity's love but when all is said and done, Dotun continues to be the winner with Xavier and Joey fighting for a close second.

This love journey is winding down quickly - thanks for tuning in for this generational chat. Please rate and review wherever you listen!

Here's to love!
