Welcome to Glamorous Trash. This is a cookie jar episode where we take everything that fits into the glamorous trash universe. That isn't a memoir episode. And we talk about it all in one, you know, cookie jar that's filled with crumbles of gold. I'm your host, Chelsea DeMontes. And you know our co-host for every cookie jar. It is producer Christina Lopez. Hey, Chelsea. What's up? Oh, man. I was like, what voice is Christina going to say? I'm playing it straight today. No, I love it. Listen, we're both back from South by Southwest a week at the festival.

diving into our very first topic, how did you feel when you saw that The Bachelorette was canceled?

2:19.6

I was shocked because there's so much money that funnels into this that I could not believe,

2:28.0

like ABC as a, you know, network decided to like scrap the entire season. I understand the impact that that video had and the
