  • AFTER SHOWS

Imagine your group chat after a reality-TV binge… but hosted by two people who are actually good at explaining why everything was unhinged. This new podcast brings Bachelor Fantake—the YouTuber famous for his hilarious, frame-by-frame recaps and predicitons of romance reality TV—together with his real-life wife, Pey. They’re not insiders, producers, or former contestants. They’re just millennial parents on the couch, snacks in hand, watching the same chaos you are and asking, “Wait… is this normal??” Each episode features bite-sized, spoiler-friendly reviews of shows like The Bachelor, Love Is Blind, and other dating-show staples. From there, things spiral (in the best way): silly games, playful debates, and thoughtful deep dives into the bigger questions these shows accidentally raise—modern dating expectations, red flags vs. green flags, gender roles, communication, commitment, and how any of this is supposed to work in real life. The vibe is funny, grounded, and refreshingly unpretentious—just honest reactions, self-aware humor, and the perspective of a married couple who’s been through the dating world and lived to tell the tale. It’s part recap, part comedy, part “why are we like this?” group therapy for anyone trying to make sense of love on TV—and off. 💍📺✨
