Hasta la vista, baby! It's iconic bodybuilder/politician Arnold Schwarzenegger and his brand new book (out this week!), "Be Useful: Seven Tools For Life." From a tiny village in Austria to conquering Muscle Beach, jacuzzis vs hot tubs, making your own January 6th response video, assessing the Governator's tenure, and lunchtime cigars. Plus, Steven randomly rides hard for political randomization. We'll be back. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Celebrity memoirs aren’t like normal books—they’re fun! Join comedians Steven Phillips-Horst (@gossipbabies) &amp; Lily Marotta (@lilyblueyez) as they rifle through the diaries of drug-addled starlets, oddly obsessive restaurateurs, brass-knuckled female realtors, and boring gay politicians’ even more boring gay husbands, finding fertile ground for searing cultural insights and juicy gossip. Martinis not included.

Hell yeah, brother! This week we bodyslam our way through bleached blond wrestling icon Hulk Hogan's memoir "Hollywood Hulk Hogan." We hop in the ring and discuss WWE fandom culture, eating 25 eggs a day, Vince McMahon, his sex tape and Gawker lawsuit, homoeroticism, inventing wrestling merch, Mr. T’s insecurities, and of course his French chalet-inspired greater Tampa mansion. HULKAMANIA FOREVER!

MOTHER ALERT ! It’s Gypsy Rose Blanchard week, and we are unpacking her recently published eBook "Released: Conversations On The Eve of Freedom with Melissa Moore." With empathy and humor she discusses her Munchausen Mama, Wicca, bottoming for butches in prison, true crime adaptation ethics, why she loves her now ex-husband Ryan, and ultimately her hopes and dreams for the rest of her life. To quote Ms. Blanchard, “This is Gypsy’s Version.”

PATREON PREVIEW: "Slicing Jamon" w/ John Early & Theda Hammel

Join us at the Red Table! This week we finally unpack actress, mother, and metalhead Jada Pinkett Smith's tome, "Worthy." We attempt to process everything from her formative years on the Baltimore streets with Tupac to her middle-aged Ayahuasca journey, and everything in between. We discuss Will Smith, open marriages, alopecia, Scientology, the slap, her film "Set It Off," racism at Ozzfest, and her close friendship with Cesar Millan. PLUS, we discuss the question on everyone’s mind: is Jada gay?

God Save the Queen! This week we DIVE into British Olympian Tom Daley’s book, "Coming Up for Air: What I Learned from Sport, Fame and Fatherhood." We cover his path from casual curry Thursdays and the Olympics to marrying the screenwriter of the film "Milk." We go deep into our personal aquatic experiences, the dangers of flash photography, and why you need to get married in a castle. ALSO, gays who collect children's clothing: creepy or no?
