Due to the chaos of January 2025, we're unfortunately delaying Aaron Buerge's season until March 3rd. We're sorry! Please instead enjoy this unlocked Patreon episode, our recap of Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire, which we think is good supplemental listening with Alex and Aaron's seasons.

In this bonus episode for patrons, before they go back to to The Bachelor's 2002 beginnings in the new year, Carrie and Annemarie swing by Y2K, when reality tv as we know it was just being born and a producer named Mike Fleiss took his first stab at televising romance only to have everything (except the ratings) blow up in his face. They discuss how Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire led Fleiss to create The Bachelor, the franchise's enduring relationships with both pageants and restraining orders, and what they knew about presidential politics in middle school.
