The Bachelor Finale: What a Mess
Sean and Tiff discuss the season finale and After the Final Rose three hour marathon from Monday night. We're relieved it's all over and try to figure out what went wrong along with what is wrong with The Bachelor franchise in general. We liked Emmanuel Acho's work as the substitute teacher and lamented that the show is stuck in the past and unable to really move forward.
We wrap up the podcast trying to figure out what we want to talk about going forward. This show has been exhausting and we're on the lookout for something more enjoyable to talk about. We each nominate one TV show as a possible subject for podcasts starting in May.

Customer Reviews
The Matthew Berry of Golf
My favorite podcasts are Sean’s golf shows along with Burke. These guys can speak to golf unlike anything I’ve heard, from the history of the game, the nuances of each tournament, along with strengths and weaknesses of each player on tour. This isn’t Jim Nance on a podcast, more like Golf’s version of Matthew Berry talking Fantasy Football.
Intelligent, Original Takes
It's refreshing to listen to smart, insightful sports talk that's not a regurgitation of what ESPN shoots all over our faces. Cheers, Sean & Co.
Guys that know their stuff; funny
You have to listen to these guys. I follow Sean on the fan hub and not only does he know his stuff, but he keeps it light and funny for all readers and now also listeners.
