Thank you to everyone who came to our last book club (recording here) to talk about Uglies.
For our next book club (discussion in June, date TBD but probably mid June if that's enough time for folks) we wanted to pick a book that covers a blind item adjacent topic, so here are some options.
This is an episode off our typical beaten path, but I recently started noticing a bit of a trend in Hollywood. Men who have "queer" blinds and rumors in Hollywood (Shawn Mendes, Harry Styles, Nick Jonas, even Hugh Jackman) usually have a history or reputation for dating older women. I wanted to dive a bit into this pattern and see if the theory holds up, as well as talk about the discourse arou...

2023-04-29 17:04:32 +0000 UTC View PostPardon the incredibly blatant episode title haha, but I've wanted to dive into a few of these late night talk show hosts for a while now, and with Jimmy Kimmel poo-pooing those talking about Epstein lately...I figured there's no time like the present! The more I researched Jimmy (Kimmel, not Fallon) the more I realized...I think my suspicions were right. The guy is weird - especially towards wo...
2023-04-28 04:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI know it seems insane to do an episode about the cartoon movie SHREK, but this is a fun one. We talk about:
- the innuendoes in the movie and the beef between Dreamworks and Disney at the time
- fun facts about the movie
- tea on Mike Myers (Shrek)
- tea on Eddie Murphy (Donkey) as well as real life scandals he's had and a bit about all ten of his children...making Elon...

You know that I love a collab with our favorite Irish podcaster Jenny from the Red Room podcast - and talking about Jeff and Lady Ghislaine are deep dives we always come back to. For this episode (thank you to the patreon floozie who suggested it!) we took a look at the 4chan "confession" story from Epstein's private driver. Is it fact? Is it fiction?

1. It will be a fascinating discussion on beauty standards and plastic surgery
2. It's part of a series, so if you enjoy this book, Pretties/Specials and a new series Imposters is out there too

Ladies and gents, I think it's time for another book club! I loved reading Daisy Jones and the Six with you (also some of you are suggesting a Zoom to chat about our thoughts on the series which I think would be fun for next week...) but in the meantime, let's vote on the next book for our book club!

I know there are fellow Swifties in here...her leaked songs came out recently. The main highlight for me was Taylor's version of This is What You Came For, and her songs "Need" and "All of the girls" in full! Looks/sounds like they almost made the cut for the Lover album

This week I'm trying a technique for the first time where we dive into one impactful music artist and throughout their episode deep dive (his relationships with other artists, blind items, and more) we interweave the songs and music clips being referenced.
