Fresh Batch With Michelle Collins

Consummate professional (and nicest person of all time) Jerry O'Connell takes a break from guest hosting The Wendy Williams Show to talk to Michelle about how they met, how hard hosting is, and what his first days on Wendy were like.  And Jerry doesn't stop there - he spills some serious tee regarding his brother's season of the Bachelor and divulges his suspicions about Arie's nasty ending! Michelle's Mom makes another world-class podcast appearance (and absolutely lays into Dorit from Housewives). Jerry and Michelle brainstorm Michelle's movie vehicle "Going Dutch" and ruminate on the greatest will-they/wont-they of all time between Michelle and a local LA news personality. 

Snow be damned: Michelle is back! And chances are if you aren’t Megyn Kelly you will love this hot episode!! Because after about 5 seconds of polite conversation (and the downing of some large iced coffees) it is off to the god damn races! Michelle freely admits she loves tall German men AND Germany at Christmas time. BUT, famously, Michelle hates Nazis - and recounts a harrowing story of a night hiding in a house in Austria before getting screamed at and thrown out by an insane Nazi landlady. That being said, Michelle admits she CAN be an “Audience Nazi” at the movies - and has to escape the theater after a prickly encounter at a Black Panther screening. ALSO: Matt Rubano’s ex-flame is NOT a fan of Michelle and Megyn Kelly hand-wrote Bobby Finger a (threatening) invitation to her morning talkshow (this story is insane; PLZ check this shit out). Other topics include Feta Cheese, the Miracle Bathing Suit, and of course - a spirited debate on House Hunters vs. House Hunters International.

Different name, same Michelle! After a brief hiatus, the other Queen Of Talk returns for the inaugural episode of her freshly rebranded podcast, Edit That Out! And who better to help recap all the real life/television madness that's happened over the last few months than comedians Jared Freid (U Up? podcast) and Alise Morales (Betches). First order of business: The Bachelor. What happened, what will happen during the finale next week, and what can be done to fix the show's problems.

It's a simple question. Would YOU fuck the Fishman from The Shape Of Water? Michelle invites the hilarious Sasheer Zamata & Pat Regan onto Fresh Batch to answer this essential question, but also to catch up on the best TV of 2018 thus far: namely, the Golden Globes & the new season of The Bachelor! Plus, Michelle spills some tea about her New Years Eve, which involves a make-out in the back of an ambulance. --- CONNECT W/ FRESH BATCH TWITTER, FACEBOOK, and INSTAGRAM for Michelle's funniest thoughts, hottest guests, and freshest gossip: @FreshBatchPod twitter.com/FreshBatchPod FACEBOOK facebook.com/freshbatchpod/ INSTAGRAM instagram.com/freshbatchpod/ AND PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND RATE US on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts!! 5 Stars!! http://foreverdogproductions.com/fdpn/podcasts/fresh-batch/
