Bachelor of Hearts Max Quinn & Xavier Rubetzki Noonan

It’s the end of an era - Channel 10 has announced that the Bachelor franchise in Australia is being put to bed. We jumped on the mics immediately to capture our reactions and speculate about what happens next.

It's the penultimate episode of Catching Kelce, and we're saying farewell to some beloved faves, as Travis narrows the women down to a Final Four - plus, a visit from a country-pop superstar, and a surprise overnight date.

If that weren't enough - we also give our first impressions on Taylor Swift's brand-new The Tortured Poet's Department, and the 2023 documentary Kelce - plus, we finally figure out whether Xavier is smarter than a 5th grader. (Spoiler: results inconclusive!)

The marriage between the first ever Golden Bachelor couple, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, has ended. We rushed to the mics to debrief in this emergency minisode.

Back to Kelce next week. We'll get through this together.

Party Rock is on the pod tonight?! This week, we're joined by LMFAO expert Lauren Guerrera for a discussion of an unexpected high point for Catching Kelce - a trip to the Party Rock Mansion. As Travis himself gets slightly lost between the cracks, we find joy in an impassioned defence of Violet Beauregarde, a meticulously detailed research dossier, and a new game called Two Fooths and a Lie.

Beep boop! This week Travis Kelce enters cyberspace, and drags several women into the digital world with him. While some women receive a high-tech kiss, others barely escape with all their bits intact. We consider what lessons Catching Kelce may have learned from GamerGate (if any), bone up on the history of the touchdown dance, and eagerly anticipate a more exciting episode next week.

This week, Catching Kelce begins a somewhat awkward transition from its cut-throat beginnings to the more character-focused, relationship-based show it will become. Max intrigues Xavy with tales of butt fumbling, banana baseball, and lingerie football, while Xavy offers thoughts about the Catching Kelce theme song, a discussion of Mop Guys, and a new game called What Dog. All this, plus an extended Fabio deep-dive courtesy of past and future guest Dr. Jodi McAlister.
