How did you know the next question I was going to ask, which is about Friend of the Pod, Gabby Wendy. And also Chrishell Stoss, who I feel like I have been trying to nail down recently. how to describe their game. They call themselves the Bambis. And I have a twofold question, which is how would you describe their game? You mentioned an emotional game.

And also, how do you think their gameplay utilizes gossip?

And also, how do you think their gameplay utilizes gossip?

Huge news! Our Dowager Queen, Kelsey McKinney, wrote a New York Times best-selling book of beautiful essays about gossip. It's called You Didn't Hear This From Me, mostly true notes on gossip, and I am obsessed. It's about how we use gossip to learn about ourselves. It's about Britney Spears and Weston Caleb and Gilgamesh and Picasso. It's so fun.

And it's far more about yourself as a person, right? There's this way that people tend to believe, even if they don't mean to, that fiction is about the author, even though the point is that it's fake and that you made it all up.

Mm hmm. Mm hmm. And I think we both. Well, let me not speak for you. I find nonfiction to be far more revealing of an author than fiction is. But I wanted to ask this time around or even the way people are kind of talking to you about you didn't hear this from me.

Yeah. You learn some things that you don't perhaps need to know. Yeah. Do you have any questions about the book that you wish you'd been asked?
