How did it feel to be the first contestant to have the most viral date in real time? Shane dishes on the Raiders date and so much more. Then, Rachel Recchia joins us for our second interview with Matt! Before we get into our next interview, we catch up with her on all of the recent news and get her thoughts on what’s next. Next, we bring Matt in and hear all about his incredible travel stories, professional basketball career, and journey on the show as a father.

Ever wonder what happens when the cameras stop rolling and the final rose is handed out? Bachelor Happy Hour pulls back the curtain on the world you see on screen, offering a genuine, often surprising, look at the reality behind reality TV. Hosted by former Bachelorettes Charity Lawson and Rachel Recchia, this isn't just recap chatter. It's a direct line to the people who lived it. Each episode, Charity and Rachel connect with current cast members, alumni, and others from the franchise for conversations that go beyond the edited storylines. They get into the real emotions, the unspoken rules of the mansion, and the details that never make it to air. Produced by iHeartPodcasts and Warner Bros, this podcast sits at the unique intersection of TV, culture, and modern relationships, exploring how the show reflects and influences our social landscape. Tune in for the laughter, the candid confessions, and the kind of insider perspective that only comes from having been in the spotlight yourself. It’s like having a post-show debrief with friends who truly get it.
