Hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Fluently Forward.

How's it going?

How you doing?

I am excited for this week's episode.

We are diving into something that is definitely a blind spot of mine.

The TV is just something.

I feel like there's two, no, maybe there's three worlds of pop culture.

You're either into the classic actor, old Hollywood, Oscar, great film type of pop culture,

or you're into the TV and top 100, top 40s pop music type of pop culture, that's kind

of me, or you're into the reality, bravo side of pop culture.

That is, I don't know, reality TV might be 3D worlds in one.

There are so many different reality TV shows and they go back for so many different seasons

and it's always been a blind spot of mine, but I know that you guys are really into it

and I've been dipping in my toe into the pool of possibilities.

The Bachelor is definitely, I'm like a 101 level of Bachelor, but I have on two fantastic

guests today and we are going to talk all about the franchise of Bachelor Nation and the

blind items around it and the rumors.

So I'm really excited to have on Ashley from Ash Talk's Batch and Jenna from the Date

Card podcast and I also want to give a shout out to the podcast, She's All Batch.

I recorded with them maybe like a year and a half ago, but I was at such a new podcaster

at the time and I misrecorded the audio so it never got to go to air, but if you don't

listen to them, check out their podcast as well.
