Alice "Callaway Clubs" Cooper May 24, 2023

School's Out For The Summer! Dust off your air guitar, it's legendary horror-glam rockstar and the grandfather of guyliner— Alice Cooper—with his golf-themed memoir "Golf Monster: A Rock 'n' Roller's 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict." The iconic heavy metalist schools us on being emo, why James Bond is a bitch for drinking vodka, stacked high school chicks, the infamous biting a head off a chicken story, and a whole lotta golf. Laughs will be par for the course.

Nadia "Raw Garlic" Comaneci May 17, 2023

Show notes

You can do it! Chalk up your hands and skip lunch—we're taking it to the mat with Romanian gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci, and her weirdly tense memoir "Letters to a Young Gymnast." The first person to ever receive a perfect 10 at the Olympics (Montreal, 1976), the blonde bombshell ever so slightly opens up about getting groomed by infamous coaching couple the Karolyis (who went on to invent Mary Lou Retton, Kerri Strug, and Simone Biles). From eating disorders to escaping communism, why the balance beam is for weird girls, jealous parental sex, will gymnastics ever see a trans girl champion?, Times Square shopping sprees and why lesbians aren't gymansts—this one's a perfect 10.

"The One With Matthew Perry" May 10, 2023

Show notes

Could we BE any more of a podcast? We're bravely shattering our titling format to celebrate everyone's best Friend—Matthew Perry—and his addiction tell-all "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing." From the difficulties of being "Canadian-American" to having a hot politico for mom and the Old Spice guy for a dad, NBC's golden era, Chandler's unique linguistic cadence, the under-sung Craig Bierko, childless Aniston, and our own struggles with substance abuse—this episode is Must-See TV. Recorded in front of a live studio audience.

Plus! You won't wanna miss this Friday's VIP Lounge, where we go through NY Mag's entire list of "It Girls" and decide who really is one. Join us at patreon.com/cbcthepod
