Pop culture references, world history, and general adult knowledge. You name it, and Ashley probably has no idea what you're talking about. Join her on a journey to confront just how much she doesn't know (spoiler alert: it's a lot).
Feel free to join in on the ride - who knows? Maybe you'll learn something too! New episodes every other Wednesday.

The American Revolution
Episode Description That's right; we're getting historical, y'all. And Ashley is toooooootally thrilled about it (she's not).

Introduction
Hey there! I'm Ashley. I have a confession. When it comes to pop culture, history, and general life skills, I usually have no idea what I'm talking about. Don't get me wrong, I DO actually read and watch things, but apparently not the same things that everybody else did. Well, I'm tired of pretending to understand people's references. So, for some ungodly reason that I have yet to figure out, I have decided to broadcast just how much I don't know while also beginning...
