Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on the Karen Read trial?
Yeah, she truly has like dedicated her life to her daughter. And she has a lot of fascinating insight into the autistic community. Wonderful interview. Excited for you guys to hear it. Also, we have the host of the new hit show on Netflix, Battle Camp, Taylor LeJuan, formerly of the NFL. Also very excited.
One of the former hosts of the Vow Files, friend of show Sugar Lynn Beard, also starring in the new hit show, The Studio.
She has a very dynamic role. She stars in the episode. What's the episode called? Which one is it?
It's episode six. It's episode six. How freaking dare you? I think it's called The Oncologists, maybe.
Oh, okay. Or The Doctors, maybe. It's my favorite one so far.
Oh, thank you so much. You know what? I play Dr. Rebecca Chan Sanders, and it was a complete joy. As an actor, you get to go through the scenes, as you know. They're shot in one, so it was like doing a play. It was all these amazing heavy hitters. It was so funny. It was a dream come true, and I'm... proud, proud of my performance.
I think it'll be really cool for River to be able to watch that one day and be like, oh my God, that's my babysitter.
I know, but we're going to have to start her on me and the Care Bears. And then we're going to have to start her on, you know, me and Sailor Moon. There's a lot of Shug, of anti-Shug out there for her to enjoy.
Well, for any listeners that have been with us since the beginning, we'll remember Sugar Lynn. I did have to fire her from the, just kidding.

We were also joined by Abby's mom, which I thought was so interesting to get to just like pick her brain about everything she's been through.
Yeah, she truly has like dedicated her life to her daughter. And she has a lot of fascinating insight into the autistic community. Wonderful interview. Excited for you guys to hear it.

Chapter 4: What are the household headlines that caught attention this week?
Yeah. I quit, but go on.
You got deported. I did.
I basically got deported. I basically got deported, but I had such a great time on the show. And honestly, it's really fun for me because that was the very time that he was courting Natalie. So I got to be in on all of the behind the scenes, encouraging him to lock it down.
So if all of y'all are pissed that me and Nick are together, you can blame Shook.
You actually can, and I will take your calls. We could do a whole separate series where I calm y'all down about this relationship that I love so much and honestly get to witness in a really beautiful, unique, and intimate way.
What's your favorite thing about our relationship?
I like how you tease your husband because teasing to me, teasing to me is like my favorite love language. So I just, I love the way that you knock him down, you know? Perfect.
Yes, of course.
But I bring them right back up. You sure do. Yes, I do. You sure do.

Chapter 5: What happened on The Valley this week?
Babysitter is not PC for 2021. Stop it.
I don't like it. I don't care if it's PC. But you're so young. I know. My youth helps, but I'm not a babysitter.
Well, I have been obsessed with the Karen Reid trial and I have not been able to take my eyes off of the screen. Sierra, why did you open your mouth?
I went to a screening of the documentary from the first trial and then yesterday I kept kind of like trying to like tap it and be like, fuck, gotta work. But like, it's intriguing. What do you think? Do you think she's innocent or guilty? I don't know. I genuinely do think that she's innocent and I think that she's being framed. But I'm like, I haven't paid attention enough to this trial go-round.
I'm less than 48 hours into this case. What have you gathered? I'm generally being aware of it.
But also a non-stop 48 hours because I haven't stopped talking.
That's true. Emily Baker did make me aware of it long ago when I was like, we were talking about her coming back and she was just deep into Karen Reed. And then Natalie told me about it. And I was like, this is Karen Reed. And then she's like, I think she's innocent. And I'm like, what? And then she told me about it. Once I heard about the Google of how long does it take a body to die in the cold?
I was like, and then I heard Boston police force. And after watching the departed, I was like, these are all just crooked, crooked fucks. But there's so much like, yeah, there's so much reasonable doubt and there's so much shadiness. What did you talk about yesterday? The SIM card cracking?
Yeah, the Brian Higgins who was in the house with the Alberts.
