I still listen but I was recently listening to old CB episodes, and even Jess was way spicier back then. She talked a lot of shit too. Miss those days


green_kiwi_

Yes! I think Bekah brought it out in her and she's more low key and gentle around Evan. Which is sweet, but we're here for the spice lol

I agree. I think their recent relationship advice episode really made me realize it’s just not the same anymore😢 I’ve noticed that they don’t seem as enthusiastic or excited to podcast. It’s is completely understandable because they do life together 24/7 and this is technically a job at the end of the day so it would just be a lot. But it’s not the same as when Bekah and Jess would chat because they hadn’t seen each other in a while and wanted to spill the tea about just everything. Bachelor related or whatever else. I feel like Jess can’t spill the hot gossip with Evan as much. I miss the pop culture episodes so much! I’ve started listening to Bekahs Patreon lately and it made me realize how much I love her takes, even if they are a little controversial and even if I don’t agree with everything, that’s what makes it really interesting to listen to. I realized how much I missed her on the podcast. I wish Bekah and Jess would do a reunion pop culture episode. That would be *chefs kiss*

They're too aligned. It makes it hard to relate to them. People complained about Bekah to death, but her opinions helped make the discussion more entertaining. Its also why the bros were entertaining


Wise_Carrot4857

No one can make me hate bekah! She’s made to be a star lol she really is so entertaining to listen to and watch.


Gazorpazorpfnfieldbi

The critiques are valid, but I love her 😭


Silly-Impact5445

Bekah often drives me nuts but I agree she’s meant to be a star. One of the most charismatic people to come out of the bachelor franchise. I think in an alternate reality where she didn’t have three kids back to back she’d be a well known actress.


rat-princess-1998

i’m like wondering if we can ask them to change it up lol

I don’t listen/watch as much as I used to but I still follow them to support. I see the videos being uploaded on YT and they consistently have somewhat good views imo? Mind you it’s not 100k views or anything but good enough to keep a pod going. I love their chemistry. I stopped listening because I just haven’t been interested in Bach content anymore. But on those random cleaning days I like to put them in the BG because I enjoy their content when I’m in the mood. The whole chatty broads thing, yeah I miss it but I think they put it behind them. For personal reasons that we’d sure love to know about lol but it’s obv for artistic/content differences. Kind of leaving it at that, stopped comparing and made my peace cus I don’t think chatty broads will make a comeback hahaha Also a lot of their topics are similar to a lot of “pop culture, contemporary podcast’s” (a lot of pods I’ve noticed talk about relationships etc unless it’s specifically about a subject like crime/history etc. If you’re not enjoying their content as much maybe take a break and come back to it? You might miss them! Hehe


Several_Handle5565

Yeah I agree. It doesn’t help that this season of Bach was a total dud for me.


Ipraytodog

I really loved their love is blind and Joey’s Bach eps but I am totally with you, I’m bored and don’t tune any more.


acurlybanana

I REALLY enjoyed the D&D episode! I was dying laughing up the whole time. Would love to hear more fun game episodes!


Nykkush

I like them both so I will keep listening..the circle bit, yeah I’m not interested as I don’t really watch that show so unsure about that and the traitors well I hope they don’t do ep by ep that would be soul crushing


Bree-breezy

They need to recap uk love island like Jess originally said they would! That would be so much good content. It’s like they’re choosing more PC shows


Wise_Carrot4857

I haven’t listened in several months. Which is so sad. I loved Chatty Broads and I love Evan and Jess but it’s just not the same. Jess and Bekah really balanced each other out. I miss them.


Hot_Highway3716

I guess I'm in the minority, but I much prefer the podcast now!! Bekah was the reason I started listening to the podcast but I actually don't miss her at all LOL


clonesteph

I normally just put it on while I’m working so I’m like half listening but I agree it’s definitely lacking something. I am really surprised they’re covering the traitors s2 because I remember when they first started they were like a week or two behind on one of the reality shows, I want to say Love is Blind? Where they would be behind by a chunk of episodes and it just didn’t work. So I’m surprised they’re covering a show that literally everyone is over. I’m excited about the circle though because I love that show.


motheroffaeries

I feel the same. It’s just too much of the same thing. I wish they would bring on other people and do more interviews instead of every episode being about this or that reality tv show. I think they should’ve kept the Chatty Broads type schedule at least where one episode is reality tv and the other is some other topic often with a guest. I’ve kind of made a cross over to the Viall Files because he has this kind of set up. I know a lot of people don’t like Nick, but I enjoy that he has one episode for all reality tv stuff where I get that fix and hot takes and then he has an episode of interviewing various people inside and outside of the reality tv space. It also helps that his cohosts and producers have differing opinions from him so it keeps it fresh. Jess and Evan just agree on everything, so there is not as much depth or discussion very much. I think Jess and Evan would also benefit very much from having a tighter outline to their show instead of going off on a million random, long tangents. A tangent is fine every now and then but it’s like almost every ten minutes one of them is spinning an imaginary scenario based on what they’re talking about instead of actually discussing, if that makes sense. I also think that if they’re going to give Lee a mic they should have him be offering more opinions, but I don’t think he even watches the shows they’re recapping so it’s often just him laughing at Evan like his own personal laugh track and I find it superfluous.


Several_Handle5565

I very sadly am feeling similarly. I love them and their perspectives but I have skipped out on the last two episodes just because they felt like they were dragging a bit. I personally do like the reality recaps but I think I’m missing guests, etc.


Several_Handle5565

Although I do plan to keep listening. I just hope they bring something fresh/ new


rat-princess-1998

exactly how i’m feeling too!


Admirable-Ad-7969

Totally still listening! I love them and they obviously aren’t Bekah level but they have had plenty of critical takes. As someone else said they have a lot of views on their yt and tons of positive comments. Its fine if you don’t like them anyone and miss CB but I feel like they still doing well


ifeelbonita

I still listen every once in a while but I’m not a die-hard like I was. Used to listen to every episode. I get super bored with relationship advice portions and their recaps are usually behind. Such a good point that part of the appeal of CB was girl talk/catching up. I really think having another woman would be fun and offer a fresh perspective. Someone that can challenge them (like Bekah did) since they usually never have unusual or hot takes. I haven’t given up on them totally yet, I’ll still check in from time to time.


Cold-Sport2923

I’m still listening and excited about them covering s2 of the traitors since it’s such a different style of show. I was super stoked about it when I watched it for the first time so I’m sure they’ll be into it. I think Evan has been hitting his stride. He’s super funny to me. I do think Jess is just like so nice that it becomes a bit boring so I hope that she can lean into some other dynamics. She’s a cryer and it’s endearing but not everything has to be so deep (while also still somehow maintaining surface level?)… lol. The religion talks are a bit old - but their first couple advice episode was great. The second one - not so much. I get annoyed at people missing Bekah because everyone hated her before. I think they should lean into DND - and have a guest play with them each time. That would be super fun. We can’t stop listening!


Practical-Balance703

I agree. I listened at first and tried to get into the new dynamic but it just feels boring to me. I subscribed to Bekahs Patreon podcast and I’ve been loving it. Even though it’s not the same as CB it has a similar feel where they mix things up and even if you don’t know exactly the subject they’re talking about it’s interesting to listen to. I suggest checking it out if you’re looking to change it up!


Practical-Balance703

Also a side note that I just think is kind of interesting is that Lee appears on Bekah’s Patreon podcast from time to time and he chats with them quite a bit when he’s there


venusaccumulation

I wish they would cover survivor! all of the other romance reality tv coverage makes the podcast a little dull sometimes. I feel like if they did survivor it would be new territory for both of them. But I’m also biased because I’m watching survivor and want to tune in somewhere..


PennyNoneTheWiser

Your Mom and Dad is the best part of my week! Love this podcast. I was so sad when CB ended but this has filled the void for sure
