Henry David “Cabin Porn” Thoreau Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

Simplify, bitch! Pack your Ralph Lauren duffle with only the essentials—we’re moving to the woods with OG Harvard grad, indie freelancer, noted mama’s boy, inventor of #VanLife, Tiny House Hunter and titan of American literature, Henry David Thoreau, and his cottagecore opus, “Walden.” From hating locomotives to predicting Instacart, why ottomans make you effeminate, the Joe Six Pack of the 1800’s, town gossips, mom doing your laundry, erotic hermits and listening to a goddamn loon instead of the phonograph—you’ll be homesteading in no time.

Chip & Joanna “Fixer Upper” Gaines Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

Open the barn doors! We’re reclaiming wood, exposing the beams and throwin’ up shiplap with renovation sensations and the stars of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper,” Chip and Joanna Gaines’ madcap memoir “The Magnolia Story.” From just a small construction company in Waco to building a huge farm/theme park in Waco, from denim overalls to Target lines, proposing in a hallway, suburban cottagcore, and guessing Joanna’s ethnicity—this one has really good bones.

Natalie “Lolita-core” Portman Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

It’s time for a real, bona fide star! Settle in for storytime with Oscar winner, Dior model and Israeli-American ingenue Natalie Portman—and her libfem fantasia of a children’s book, “Fables.” From her wildly influential 90’s style to her anti-Netanyahu politics, the tortoise as a woman, narc lesbian wolves, gay penguin couples, pighood obesity and the color “dusk,” this story’s got one hell of a moral.

PLUS! In the VIP Lounge out on Friday—hear all about Steven’s Tina Brown Dinner Party, Lily’s job as a weed deliverer, lunch at Balthazar and Steven’s barely legal hack for getting a U.S. Passport in record time.

Mike “MyPillow” Lindell Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

Are you ready for the best night’s sleep of your life? Get comfy, we’re railing lines with MyPillow founder Mike Lindell and his insane self-published memoir “From Crack Addict To CEO.” The Trump campaign surrogate and pillow infomercialist takes us on a dizzying journey—from counting cards in Mississippi to scoring crack in Vegas, Lily learning the location of Minnesota, how MyPillow came to him in a dream, hunting deer, crushing debt and finding God—this is one twisted tall tale. Hallelujah.

Tina “Fresh Pow Pow” Basich Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

Fresh powder, anyone? It’s all downhill from here as we carve into female (!) snowboarder Tina Basich’s deeply random 2003 memoir “Pretty Good For a Girl.” From Sacramento’s skater scene to whether the Waldorf school is for hippies (it is), Lily’s childhood skilessness, Steven’s favorite French resorts, anti-snowboarder propaganda, dating Dave Grohl, heli-jumping with the Beastie Boys, and wearing flannel PJ’s to the Playboy mansion—this is one goofy trip down the half-pipe.

PLUS! In this week’s VIP Lounge—prescriptions sunglasses, a classic red sauce joint nails it, and a huge Rolo’s misfire.

Barbara “MGM” Payton w/ Ruby McCollister Aug 10, 2022

Show notes

Lights! Camera! Scandal! Iconic downtown comedienne Ruby McCollister travels back in time with us to the halcyon days of the studio system, for infamous screen siren Barbara Payton, and her no-holds-barred memoir “I Am Not Ashamed.” From her five marriages to making $10k a week, the invention of e-girls, proto-butch theory, roach-infested apartments on Sunset and the world we leave behind, this is no cautionary tale—this is real life, baby!

Christine “Samsung Ambassador” Quinn Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Sold! We’re in escrow on Selling Sunset bombshell Christine Quinn’s extremely beachy read “How to Be a Boss B*tch” (asterisk her own). From her vague struggles with ADHD to her vague struggles with modeling, marrying into Grubhub to hanging out with the CEO of Radio Shack’s daughter, and the bloodless aesthetics of modern wealth—this is a $20 million episode built on a pile of dirt.

Jared “An American Tragedy” Fogle Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

Eat fresh! The ladies take a bite out of famous weight-loser and known child porn addict Jared Fogle’s 12” masterpiece, “Jared, the Subway Guy: Winning Through Losing: 13 Lessons for Turning Your Life Around.” Obesity, addiction, suburbia, trauma, bullying, shame, desire, Lean Cuisine: this episode covers the whole, terrifying landscape of American tragedy—and the tragedy of the American landscape. Listener discretion advised.
