[upbeat music] Reality TV. You already watch it. You already have opinions. And if you've ever felt like you had to apologize for that, then this show is for you.

2
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:22.039
Because we fundamentally disagree that reality TV is just a guilty pleasure. We're interested in the reality behind reality TV. Why we're obsessed with it. What we can actually learn from it.

3
00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:32.559
And what it says about us that we keep coming back. We're also just gonna watch and yap about it. Welcome to It's Called Reality. The discourse for people who give a shit. Here's a taste of what's coming up.

[upbeat music] Not to always [laughs] talk about Trump, because I try not to say that word ever in my life. I know. I know. But, like, he is a convicted felon, and he is running the US.

00:00:43.459 --> 00:00:53.299
And Taylor Frankie Pohl cannot air her [laughs] season of The Bachelorette. For every incel, right-wing manosphere podcast that exists- Yeah...

6
00:00:53.659 --> 00:01:06.199
a feminist podcast with two millennial women talking about reality TV must, like, rise. Watching that scene of her understand that Rob was a traitor, I feel like the first time I watched it, I emotionally blacked out.

7
00:01:06.639 --> 00:01:15.900
You could be the next star. Make sure you follow what we're asking for. But is that how you wanna live your current season and then future seasons, just as a pawn for profit?

8
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:29.079
You get to microdose ignorance for an hour a day, and it's like, yes. Every episode, we take a show you already love, and then we ruin it for you [laughs] in the best possible way. We're not here to recap.
