The Culture Of Pop-The Bachelorette Recap/After The Final Rose
a.k.a. The Power Of Ed's Green Man-kini Shorts: With God (and Jillian Harris) as my witnesses, I solemnly swear that this audio overview of The Bachelorette-Season 5 finale/After The Final Rose will not F*&%$ disappoint you... To paraphrase the Grateful Dead, what a long, strange...and equal turns hilarious, heartwarming and fun summertime TV escapism trip it has been as Jillian and Ed are experiencing their own summer of love as of this posting. Congrats, kids...(and hey, since I have my first ever visit to the Windy City scheduled for 2010, I could sure use two down to earth tour guides...and the hot dogs and French's Mustard at Wrigley Field will be on me). Dena and Lisa (beautybroads.com) join me to talk up three moving hours of television, our thoughts on Kiptyn and Reid being potential candidates for the next season of The Bachelor, our hopes for Jillian/Ed for the long haul...and even a little personal stuff as I talk about my American Idol based weekend in Memphis. Thanks for listening you guys...and there's much more DVD talk/Pop Culture programing to come. - Jeffrey
