Patreon Preview | You Left Your Tenders Out | Love is Blind S11 E8

0:00 I actually kind of dig this woman.

0:02 You know, she's a little too much, though.

0:06 She's a Bostonian matriarch.

0:08 She's also fucking wasted.

0:10 She's not wasted.

0:11 You don't think so?

0:12 No.

0:12 On pills?

0:13 I think she's got a buzz going on.

0:14 You don't think she drinks gin at noon?

0:16 I think that she drinks gin at four. Hi, hello, and welcome to the Patreon-exclusive recap of Episode 8, Love is Blind. I'm Dylan, that's Pat.

0:45 Hi, and once again, thank you for all your support. I love it!

0:54 Pickleball, we start with Pickleball.

0:56 For two seconds.

0:58 Yeah.

0:58 It's taking, uh... A nation by storm.

1:01 Yeah, pickleball's really, really big. What'd you think of this episode, Big Sit?

1:06 I loved it. I love a drunken mom. You have to say, hey, shut up. Oh, Rob.

1:13 Oh, Rob.

1:15 I love Love is Blind. I stayed up till like five in the morning. What kind of fucking pills are you on?

1:20 Listen, I was binging it, Rob. And I think that Netflix's Love is Blind is really... I mean, I kind of like the cut of her jib. I thought she was great. Listen, we have episode eight to break down. This is the beginning of the introductions of the family. We meet a couple.

1:35 It's a mixture. Again, formulaic. They have like... They have it all laid out. This is checking out each other's dwellings. And the other order of the day is meeting friends and family.

1:50 Do you want to give blindfolds?

1:52 Do we need to?

1:53 I give it four.

1:56 I'll give it 40.

1:57 Let's get to Wilson's mom's house. Oh, can I do this one?

2:05 Yes, yes, yes. I pointed this out in our last episode. The women of this show are clearly way ahead of the men on this show as far as success. Life. Life in general.

2:21 The game of life.

2:23 We have women that are aspirational.

2:27 Let me give you a multiple choice. Which would you rather be? A sea rat, 38 years old, Belly flopping in Mexico. A 36-year-old with a call of duty station in your parents' basement. Or a homeowner.

3:02 That's a tough one. I don't know.

3:06 Now, the mortgage is stressful.

3:07 Very.

3:08 Utilities, renovations you want to do.

3:12 It's a whole thing. You left out, how about living at your sister's house where you pay $ 750 a month?

3:20 That's a good deal. So Wilson is living in the basement of his parents.

3:25 Ah, yes, yes, yes. All right. So he shows off his place to Wildey and simultaneously shares a lot about his childhood. How is this possible? Well, he lives at the home where his Mommy and daddy live where he grew up. What a catch he is. Now, he gives her the tour of his quote unquote spot. Once you make it down, I'll give a little tour here. I'll paint a picture. Once you make it down into the basement and around the dryer, you'll pass the gamer station.

3:56 And just beyond that is the bar filled with every spirit you could ever ask for. And if you need a hot pocket heated up, There's a microwave four inches from the pop-off vodka. Hot pocket. And I hope he has a lock on that door upstairs because I can't imagine the cavalcade of women trying to knock down the door to.

4:21 Get into that place. There are at least four out there currently like zombies. When you, if you've not seen this, think Saw. Oh, and there's a dog named Ted who... they, it's just a known thing that Ted's going to piss on the ground. So they go, ah, Ted, he's doing it again.

4:41 Here's the oddest part of all this. Wilney is okay with it. No judgment. And this is where we are in society today.

4:51 You know why she's okay with it? Because she's a nutbag.

4:55 Okay.

4:56 Now we get to her house. Lovely. As we mentioned.

5:00 Can we at least discuss, they discuss finances.

5:03 Oh my God.

5:04 She mentioned she likes gifts. She likes nice gifts, like purses and stuff.

5:13 Who is buying you all of these gifts?

5:18 Well, then we learned she's an owner and she also lived with her parents. I believe this is her being really nice. She lived with her parents too. This is one of those things that you do to make the other person not feel like a loser.

5:29 Yeah.

5:29 Which they are.

5:31 They throw a dart at a bunch of different accounts. He, he kind of leads the conversation. He goes, yeah, I know I live in my parents' basement and, uh, there's a call duty station right there, but you know, I think we should have a college fund and I think that we should have a vacation fund. And I think that we.

5:46 How about a second home?

5:47 Yeah. Um, let, well, Work on some other. Yeah, that's 201. We get to Aenea and Cam. I have nothing on this.

5:56 Well, I was just going to say, Wilney's home when we visit there. Quite impressive, clean, well-decorated. I thought it would be a little bit more messy, like her life.

6:09 Yeah.

6:10 But it wasn't. I was impressed.

6:11 He packs for her.

6:13 A mayhap. Yeah, she lives in a small high-rise in Boston. Now, this was a little messy, but very expensive in the heart of Boston. They talk about living together. He says his rent is $ 750 a month. Now, I want to just let the audience know a little bit about the high cost of living in certain cities. In Los Angeles, $ 750 will get you a cardboard box and a sleeping bag on Sunset Boulevard. And I mean that.

6:40 The sanitation fees are $ 150. Okay.

6:44 So, uh, I do want to point out though, if you're willing to pay $ 1, 200 rent, uh, for a place in Massachusetts, uh, you can live in a studio apartment above a sober living house, but that's just deep in the woods in Massachusetts.

7:03 Your dollar doesn't go that far. That's my point. Now, Sarah and John.

7:08 Oh, I was going to say, she wants to live in a nice place, which will probably cost like five grand a month. And she's willing to backfill his lack of finances to live in a nice place. We'll see how long that goes.

7:22 Listen, I have a certain amount of envy and a certain amount of admiration for people that globetrot. But I have never seen it. lead to material success. Okay. This is a guy he's, he's fallen in love with a Ghanaian woman. He's, he's read the text on the Himalaya on, you know, the, the cliffs of Nepal and all that's great.

7:50 You get home and you go to a job interview and you go, have you ever seen the streets of Nepal? They, they go, sir, sir, we're talking about insurance right now.

8:00 Okay. Okay. He is an interesting character. He is. And then you meet his sister, and it does kind of shine a little light on what the fuck he's up to.

8:10 Shine a little light. Okay, so Sarah and John. John is introduced to the girlies, something that he calls them. Wait a minute. He is... He's doing a very odd routine. Obviously, this is an uncomfortable spot for any man. Lots of traps. Yeah, it's a firing squad. But you can tell how uncomfortable he is because he keeps kind of Taylor Swifting words.

8:40 I have no other way to describe it other than that. He says, she's been helping me with my mentee bees.

8:51 What is that?

8:52 Mental breakdowns.

8:53 Oh, okay.

8:55 So one, don't say that you've been having mentee bees in front of these people and definitely don't say mentee bees. We talk about him drinking raw milk. Everything about him gives me the, can you everything about him?

9:12 Can you tell me what you're picking up on this guy? You had mentioned, I believe, off air that you think he's deep in the internet.

9:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

9:23 His family seemed pretty normal.

9:25 Yes. I think that he's in silos of self-improvement and conservatism. I think that he is... And there's... Listen, there's lessons to be learned from lots of different aspects of life. But when you get into a feedback loop of the raw milk and. That's not even like the most paramount danger. I think, I just think that he's got a chip on his shoulder and I think that there's some deep-seated anger with him, and he just seems like the top's going to blow off at any minute.

10:02 Yeah, it's interesting, because his parents and his family, his sister, they seem so laid back and kind, and then you wonder, like, where does this kind of guy come from?

10:12 This is the problem with the Twitter silos. They create the illusion of. Informedness, right? So he, you see this a lot where people think that they have an academic understanding of life and they have an inside track on what the plebs don't know, that being sucking down unpasteurized milk.

10:51 It isn't so.
