“Love Is Blind” season 8 has begun, and we are moving our LIB coverage over to Love To See It. (Don’t we… love to see it?) Welcome, pod people! In Minneapolis, our daters share some common experiences: going to Catholic school, decorating for Christmas, sometimes wearing sexy Halloween costumes and sometimes wearing silly Halloween costumes, and enjoying popular movies. Plus, there’s an infuriating love square… and at least one contestant with online buzz so bad it ended up on camera.

In week 3 of Grant’s “Bachelor” season, we’re learning more about his unique interests: day trading, dogs, freestyling about private jets, and nurturing women. But which woman is the MOST nurturing?

We also discuss the cultural (and political) impact of the soft girl TikTok trend and her male alter ego: the meme-stock-trading, sports-gambling crypto bro.

Plus, we discuss Grant’s burgeoning music career. (By this, we mean the mysterious single that suddenly dropped out of nowhere, titled “Party Girls.”) To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We finally got New York City hometown hero Jeremy Simon, one of Jenn Tran’s final four, on the pod!
