Chapter 3: What entertainers are featured in the 2026 Rodeo Houston lineup?
What did I do last night? I watched the most upsetting documentary. The Perfect Neighbor. Do not watch it.
I'm not going to watch it. I was going to ask, like, do I need to hear about it? Like, are you going to tell us about it? I don't.
So it was an interesting feat in documentary making because it was the first documentary I've ever seen without any interviews, without any experts. The entire thing was comprised of police body camera footage. Like, they told the whole story.
It was about this, like, crazy woman who, like, lived in this really cute neighborhood with a ton of different kids who were always playing out in the yard, always playing in different yards. It was, like, this real community.
Chapter 4: How does Khloe Kardashian's family handle money-splitting?
And she was this curmudgeon. And anytime the kids would be, like, even remotely within distance. And she's a renter, by by the way.
Chapter 5: What rumors did Kendall Jenner address about her sexuality?
I've heard this story.
It was like a two year long. So they literally show all the body camera footage every single time she called the police on these lovely kids every single time. And everyone in the police, everyone in the neighborhood knew about this crazy curmudgeon. She fucking end up killing one of their moms. And the mom was just like such a fucking real one. I was just very upsetting.
Chapter 6: What are the Queenie and Weenie of the Week?
And like they were showing us a lot. I don't want to talk about it. Actually, I was crying about it. Like it really upset me. I was crying. Protect your peace. Yeah, I know. I didn't know. I was just looking for something to watch until Traders because Traders is on at 9 p.m.
That's not going to work.
Yeah. I'm going to have to get back on our screener shit, you know?
Oh yeah. We should get, wait, I think we do get screened.
Yeah, I know because I was waiting up till nine. I forgot about screeners. It's been so long. Cause I want to watch like the Valley Persian style. I fell asleep at nine to seven. So like, No, but I will be watching all three episodes of Traders by Monday. So if you came here looking for the Traders... Recap? We said Monday. Yeah, we did. We wanted to give everyone the weekend to watch it.
But still, stay and enjoy this episode. We're going to have a grand old time. And then your Traders episode comes out on Monday.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts feel about addressing celebrity controversies?
I started a book for fun. That's insane. That's insane. Like not for the redheads, just for fun to lull myself to sleep. And I chose a book that I had already purchased in my library, but never read. Like I was. Okay, frugal. Yeah. Like giving economical, like frugal thing that I bought. That's my influence. Something new. That's my influence on you.
It's not the new Ellen Hildebrand, but a Ellen Hildebrand called Swan Song. And the way she just eases right in.
She really takes the edge off.
with books there are like a couple of authors who are like trendy and viral and everybody reads their book that comes out and i find that more often than not like it's not worth the hype but ellen hildebrandt like is that bitch for a reason not all of her books are the best books ever a couple of her books are the best books ever but all of her books are good she stays winning 1000 an author you can trust
And there's so few things, so few institutions that are trustworthy these days.
And, like, who she is as an author, like, is congruous with the books. Who she is in real life. The books that she writes. You know sometimes you get behind your smutty author and it's like, oh. No, not even that. I can't read that.
If you have a favorite author, it is imperative that in order for them to remain your favorite author, you never see a picture of them. It just ruins the fantasy. Smut or not. Like... It's true. Like, it's just it's none of our business. And you know, that little flap on the book where they put the author photo, the industry needs to get rid of that.

Chapter 8: What insights do the hosts share about the state of celebrity culture?
Like, it's just so much of book writing is fantastical unless it's a biography, in which case you're on the cover. Like, get rid of author photos. Authorship can be a completely blind industry.
I agree. Speaking of favorite authors, not to like sour the mood again. Who did you start beefing with again? No, my favorite author passed away. Sophie Kinsella.
Oh, we never reported on that because it happened over the break. That was really sad. She was very young.
Yeah, she had brain cancer. She's my favorite author. Short Confessions of a Shopaholic series, amongst other like swirly novels that everyone would love. And so in her honor, you should pick up a Sophie Kinsella book. She was seriously one of a kind.
And like her influence on this podcast in indirect ways, like knows no man. Men like you are the reason I left Finland.
We love Confessions of a Shopaholic movie. Spawned from our love of the book, which she wrote. And that movie like wasn't appreciated in its own time. People weren't ready for it.
Well, it also is a movie about like excessive spending and wealth. And it hit the theaters like the day the market crashed.
In 2008.
It was bad. So Isla Fisher like was robbed of her Oscar because of the financial crisis.
