    Love Is Blind, Amanda’s Out, Carl’s In & Craig’s a Southern Monster!

    Love may be blind, but we’ve seen enough—and we have thoughts. This week, we’re doing a FULL Love Is Blind recap, going couple by couple and giving our completely unfiltered takes. The chemistry, the red flags, the decisions we simply cannot defend… nobody is getting skipped. Plus, we get into the In The City casting shuffle: Amanda is out, Carl is in, and we have questions. We’re also discussing Craig’s new micro-drama, Charmed by a Southern Monster, which sounds like a title we’d come up with after three glasses of wine. All that and more, because there is always another tangent. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Team Moms Baseball: A First Look at the Iconic New Show!

    Today we’re giving our first look at Team Moms Baseball for its premiere on Paramount+. We had the chance to sit down with some of the moms from the show and get a quick feel for the personalities, the dynamics, and what this series is really about. We talk about the world of sports parents, the intensity that comes with it, and why the drama off the field might be just as big as what’s happening during the games. From different parenting styles to the social side of team life, there’s a lot packed into this one. We also touch on what stood out most from our interviews and what we’re expecting going into the season. Team Moms Baseball is premiering now on Paramount+.
