The first bit of housekeeping, in case it's not totally clear from what I just said or the title of this episode, this is a bonus episode. We are living in some dark times, and we here at the Normal Gossip team thought y'all deserved... Some little between season treats to tide you over. But soon, normal, normal gospel return. We're in the middle of production. We're going to start recording soon.

And we've got some incredible stories that I cannot wait for y'all to hear. To that end. Second bit of housekeeping, we have a season eight premiere day. The next season of Normal Gossip will premiere on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025. Mark your calendars, babes, with a big fat star. And last bit of housekeeping, I promise this area rug, she's really big.

No, that is truly a crime. And there are many crimes being done, but that is certainly one of them. It's hurtful. It's really hurtful. Yes. I miss you. Your loyal legion of gossip mongers miss you. I miss all of you so much. How has life on the other side been?

Well, today, as I said at the top, we've got a super special episode planned. Since Kelsey has so kindly blessed us with her presence, I'm going to ask her all my burning questions about You Didn't Hear This From Me and her life as a famous author. Kelsey, are you ready? I guess so, yeah. Oh, my God. Okay, first, the book, beautiful. Let's just start there. I love her.
