0:00.0	Hey, everyone. We're extremely excited to talk about episode two of Atlanta. But first, I'd like to tell you a little bit about what's happening on the rest of the ringer. Maybe you've heard, but the Bachelor season finale was a bit of a fiasco. And happily, we have a whole podcast called Bachelor Party dedicated to that television show. It is hosted by my friend
0:23.3	and partner in podcasting, Juliet Littman. She has had so many people on the podcast that's
