• The Unreal Experience of Reality TV - Discussing The Valley with Guest Lauren Skae

  After spotting Tik Tok creator, "Current Fixation" Substack writer, and bestie, Lauren Skae, in the Dave & Busters episode, I knew I had to get her perspective on what it's like to witness peak reality tv in progress. She brings us into her experience as a friend attending Janet's birthday party, what it's like to see yourself on Bravo, as well as her opinions on the show and cast members she's interacted with. We delve into why she's Team Janet, our agreement that Jesse has a billionaire fetish, acknowledging that just about everything and everyone is an ad now, and how we can put regulations on podcast equipment for men.

• Book Review: Careless People, Part 2 - Stockholm Syndrome, Bored Games, and Courting China

  Part Two of a thorough review of Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams picks up with Chapters 12-18. As the author begins to experience life working for Facebook as a new mother, the reality of how that milestone is viewed by her colleagues becomes apparent. More equally chilling and amusing insights about Sheryl and Mark are shared, including her experiences being included in Mark's luxurious travel, his private jet preferences, and the work, or lack thereof, that went into courting various governments. Awkward executive level dynamics and personalities continue to be revealed via Sarah's outsider's perspective as we witness her slowly becoming more jaded with each passing chapter. BONUS: a rant on Andrew Jackson Books/biographies about Andrew Jackson: Life of Andrew Jackson by James PartonThe Passions of Andrew Jackson by Andrew Burstein American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House by Jon MeachamFathers & Children: Andrew Jackson and the Subjugation of the American Indian by Michael Paul Rogin All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

• Keep Your Crumbs - A Beverly Hills Season Review with Guest Sarah Galli of Andy's Girls

  A conversation with friend of the pod, and longtime Kyle supporter, Sarah Galli about season highlights, lowlights, and where the show goes from here. From guarded storylines, hypersensitive topics, and untouchable dramas, the reality of this reality show is that it's been lacking for a few seasons. We discuss all the ways The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills devolved into a surface level farce where viewers are expected to be thankful for crumbs.
