After three consecutive Bachelorette seasons (Clare Crawley, Tayshia Adams, and Katie Thurston), we were all a little surprised to see Blake Moynes back on our TV screens for Bachelor in Paradise. And he's back on the pod to unpack his experience with fellow Canadian, friend, and your favorite podcast host, Kaitlyn Bristowe. Everything from why he decided to head down to the beach to how he is feeling now to how he felt talking to Katie for the first time in two years. Plus, Kaitlyn asks him everyone's burning question – Did Katie really call him 'Daddy'? But she doesn't just care about the Bachelor stuff, so he shares more about his work with wildlife and why he would rather go on 'Naked and Afraid' than another reality dating show. To wrap it up, Blake provides a very embarrassing and gross confession that he hopes people can relate to. We sure love an honest King.

TW: Birth and Pregnancy.

Dawson’s mama, AKA the one and only Ashley I., is on the podcast today to catch up with her ole’ friend KB! While the two go way back (all the way back to 2015 on Chris Soules’ season), it’s been a hot minute since they’ve had a chance to catch up... and to say there’s a LOT to catch up on is an understatement. Since she’s last been on the pod, Ashley’s moved to a new state and new home, started a new business with hubby Jared, and became a mom to a human baby in addition to her fur baby! Always an open book, Ashley is ready to talk about anything and everything pregnancy, birthing, and mom-life with Kaitlyn. From bizarre mommy culture encounters to fainting horror stories to the status of her vajayjay, it’s all on the table. Plus, Kaitlyn gets a potentially life-altering baby-related text during the pod that’s all caught on the mic. It’s always a good time with these two! For those in Rhode Island and beyond, be sure to check out Audrey’s Coffee House & Lounge, and follow @ashley_iaconetti on Instagram for all the baby Dawson updates!

Claysie is back on the mic with KB and they have plenty to catch up on, from updates (and announcements) about their relationship to thoughts on the premiere episode of The Bachelorette, the “first” season with two leads! Clayton and Susie give all the behind the scenes of the first 6(ish) months of their relationship, including the struggles that almost made them give up and what they’ve learned about each other that has helped them to grow individually and as a couple. Then, it’s time to dig into the premiere: What did Claysie think about the “Clayton Sucks” jingle? Whose limo entrance was a favorite (KB & Susie def disagree)? Who has villian & future Bachelor potential (based on hairstyle & otherwise)? Plus, Clayton & Susie share the best piece of advice they have for those just starting their Bachelor Nation journey.

The king and queen of Love Is Blind Season 3 are sitting down with KB to do what they do best... be almost sickly cute. Kaitlyn is getting all the behind-the-scenes of Alexa and Brennon’s Love is Blind journey, including how they almost ended before they began and their most pivotal moments from the pods. Alexa and Brennon are also sharing what they’ve been up to since filming, what’s next in their relationship (very exciting things), what it was like watching the show back as a couple, and how they’ve navigated overnight attention. And, we’re finding out all the answers to the most important questions, like what exactly is the “jingle jangle” and what are hosts Nick and Vanessa like in real life? After this one, we’re going to have to conclude that YES, love may just in fact be blind AF.
