What's up everybody. Welcome back to Vile Files. Yeah, that's right. We got a title. I'm

very excited about today's episode, mostly because of my guest, Hannah Cranston. She is

awesome. I'm talking about her when she's right next to me. Anyways, if you don't know

who she is, you're about, you're in for a treat. You're definitely in for a treat. You also

might know her from young Turks, her wonderful and very funny and successful and interesting

captivating podcast, too much to handle. She's also a half-post contributor. Yeah, that

makes her very smart and interesting. My good friend, Hannah Cranston. Thanks for coming,

Hannah. But let's just get right into episode one of season, what is it? Season 23 of the

Bachelor? 400, something like that. What did you think, Hannah? First of all, we're
