So 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:22.040 here's why Dirty Rush works is because we allow. 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.079 People to be anonymous when they need to be, so. 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.560 That they feel safe, secure, confident in telling you what 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:32.720 it really is, like work week Rush pledging initiation. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.320 So we allow people to have real names, fake names. 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.199 We're okay with it because we want you to know 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.000 that what we're telling you is the truth. So what 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.520 we did as we're doing this series on work Week 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:49.519 this weekend, we sent two people, producer Evy and your 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.080 name Bella and Bella might be a fake name. 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.080 We sent Bella to Bama Rush. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:01.120 So look, anybody who knows anything about Rush knows that suddenly, 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.640 a couple of years ago, out of nowhere, Bama Rush exploded. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:06.679 It became the rush to watch. 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.920 It became the tiktoks to watch, It became the girls 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.800 to analyze, it became everything. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.600 So we are boots on the ground this. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.800 Season on Dirty Rush, and we are sending our team 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.960 all over the country to cover Rush, to cover work 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.760 week Rush and so on. So we are in a 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.080 secret retreat, as you guys know if you listen to 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.720 the previous episode, we are in a secret location on 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.880 a sorority retreat.

So basically, we sent producer Evy and 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.800 Bella to Alabama. So first of all, what I want 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.800 to ask you guys, is immediately when you got there 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.680 and you started to sort of explore the town, So 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.279 is the university in Alabama? 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.640 What city? 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:02.200 It's in Tuscaloosa, which is like an hour outside of Birmingham, 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:03.520 which is the airport, right. 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.560 Okay, so this is the University of Alabama. And look, 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.440 I get it. If you're in Alabama, you're rolling your 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.280 eyes at what idiots we are.
