Great podcast today with a first time guest, Ali Barthwell, from Vulture.com. If you haven’t read her recaps, you should. I’ve linked to her two recaps this season below to check them out. I only started reading Ali last season, and she’s immediately become one of my favorite recappers of this franchise. Not to mention, her background in comedy, and she got hired as a writer for John Oliver this summer. She’s got a funny, unique perspective on the show, she’s been covering it since Chris Soules’ season so she gets the nuances, the tropes, and is aware of all the tired old storylines they bring every season. Being a black woman who covers this show as extensively as she does, I find that fascinating for all the reasons we’ve talked about numerous times this summer. I ask her about it as well and she gives a very well thought out answer. Great conversation with Ali and she will definitely be on in the future. As always, if … Continue reading →

Well, to say yesterday was a hell of a day in this country would be a giant understatement. So much to say, but honestly, so little to say. Anyone that wants to educate themselves about why yesterday happen will. Those that don’t want to, won’t. Simple as that. Not much more needs to be said on my end. Brett and I recorded yesterday around 3:30 ET while things were happening and we briefly discuss it at the beginning, but then we dive into his new podcast, his @BachDiversity IG account he is a part of, Brett questions me on my recent podcasts with Tayshia and Evan’s exes, Matt’s role as the “Bachelor,” his thoughts on Matt praying night one, and much, much more. This podcast kinda went in a direction I wasn’t expecting, but I was all for it. There’s a way to disagree with someone without it being contentious and spewing hate. I appreciate Brett’s thoughts on the matters and the way he presented them. It was … Continue reading →

The final podcast of 2020. We’re finally here. To say it’s been an interesting year would be probably the understatement of the century. What I will say though is this. I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but I hope everyone realizes that when the clock strikes midnight tonight, it’s not like everything is going suddenly change. We’re still gonna be in the same predicament as a country as 12:01am tonight as we have been for the last 9 months. We’ve got a ways to go. HOWEVER, at least there’s a light at the end of the tunnel now. First half (maybe into quarter 3) is gonna be a lot of the same, but I think we will eventually get out of this and I hope people realize that. Things will get better, but that’s if a lot of us are pulling the same direction. That’s what we need. Just being realistic in all this. Anyway, great podcast to end the season. Two of my favorites to … Continue reading →
