So as I’ve stated before I’ve barely been watching The Bachelorette, but Clare just sent someone home because he didn’t know anything about her the very first day. What, are they supposed to google her? Sure, they had the time with corona but what about the romance? He said she was beautiful and wanted to get to know her better and she took that as the worst insult ever. She was upset he wasn't fawning over her. That’s like googling a blind date before meeting them.  It definitely could work out, but relationships form with chemistry and time. Why would you want someone who just cyber stalked you and all of a sudden know your sisters 3rd grade dog? That would look crazy and psychotic....Like why are you so obsessed with me? But in the bachelor world, I guess everyone should be madly in love with everyone.  This is just very much inline with what others have said about being the lead bachelor or bachelorette, where they at the same time, want this huge serendipitous experienc...

So right now I sit on the couch watching The bachelorette and it just got me thinking about everyone’s ages and reality stars/social media influencers. Like comparing them to the Pinterest influencers, Tik Tokers, and reality people. There are people famous on all these random social media platforms trying to become the best of the best.  So here at The Bachelorette Clare Crowley is 39 and is a veteran to The Bachelor franchise, she has gone on The Bachelor, two seasons of Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelor: Winter Games....and now as The Bachelorette. Hopefully fifth times the charm.  I know the reasons why I would want to go on a show like The Bachelor (mainly selfish, popularity and social media type influencers things) so I’m always curious if others are the same? Now of course productions it almost seems to go out of their way to to find these influencers now a days with finding girls with huge social media followings and even now finding already seasoned influencers s...

  Starting this year off with Barstool's Call Her Daddy and even Joe Rogans $100 Million Spotify deal leading to Howard Sterns Sirius XM's $120 Million a year deal, even leading to the new Sofia with and F podcast and other up and coming Tik Tok podcasts, it seems to be podcasts are the nest best thing.  Powerhouse deals with host icons like shock jock Howard Stern, and the controversial Joe Rogan definitely are spearheading this new mainstream content platform. For the past 10 years there was a surge in Youtubers and still are with daily vlogs, beauty gurus and lifestyle brands but podcasts have been the up and comers with their genre diversity from NPR to comedians Bill Burr and Theo Von, even mainstream host Conan O'Brien.  Iheart Radio hosted the second podcast award this past January even with shows likes Iheart's Ron Burgundy Show, EarWolf and Team Coco's Conan O'Brien, Needs a Friend, Barstool's Pardon My Take and Armchair Umbrella's Armchair Expe...

 It was everywhere a couple months ago in news of the podcast featuring Alex Cooper and Sofie Franklyn took the media by storm with their publicized Barstool Sports contract negotiations for the very popular cohosted show Call Her Daddy.  Contract negotiations involved IP's, salary, and  incentive based contracts with Barstools President David Portnoy and CEO Erika Nardini.  Both Alex with her new solo hosted Call Her Daddy and now Sofia with her new podcast Sofia with an F have stated their side of the story, adding a whole new prospective in this whole story.  Now, with all the business and lawyer talk stated before, both Alex and Sofia's side definitely have two distinct point of views:  one focusing more on the contract with Barstool and the IP with the increased pay and the other side focusing more on the backstabbing friendships and females in business.  According to Sofia, things had changed with their business partnership when the new contrac...

Now it would entirely be easy to divide the response behind SNL dropping country artist Morgan Wallen but honestly what seems to be the reasoning behind it all is that he just is not NBC's cup of tea.  Now he isn't exactly a house hold name besides the modern country fan but even I have heard of songs Whiskey Glasses and Heartless with Diplo just by looking him up on Spotify. He's a good singer just not famous enough to skate by with this news for NBC.  Ultimately I'm sure companies don't want the bad press and PR from hiring an almost 30 year old country singer parading around with the every sorority girl from University of Alabama during these sensitive times. Now even take corona out of the picture, and still this isn't exactly a setting that SNL wants to give their ringing endorsement. He did state that he had tested negative but it seems that is beyond the point now.  I'm sure every guy under the sun are queuing up to writing under the comments of this ...

 So Saturday Night Live was brought back for their first episode of season 46 hosted by Chris Rock. Now I definitely have been late on the SNL train but I was interested in how the production would change due to corona restrictions and policies.  There was a noticeable difference and the new rules and current climate were hard to ignore with references throughout the show.  Politics of course was the main focal point, with the presidential election only weeks away, as it should be. Elections aside, politics for the past 6 odd months have been hot button topics of course, with coronas threat to public health, governmental restrictions put in place, as well as the affects on the American people.  As much material that has been circulating around the media the episode had more of a safe and cautious feel, definitely toeing the line. The opening episode started off with a parody of the presidential debate that had just happened portrayed by Jim Carrey for Joe Biden and...
