One of the biggest losers of 2024, today we are talking about Matt Gaetz. This man quit one job before getting another and then dropped out of the running for the Attorney General position due to all of the crimes he's committed. According to the House Ethics Committee this man has committed statutory rape, possession of narcotics, and paid women for sex but it's all good because he will not see any consequences for his actions.

If you're a woman, it's all your fault. Today we read the way too popular self-help/relationship advice book, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus by John Gary. Will this finally be a book with decent relationship advice? NOPE! John will tell you that men and women are from different planets and therefore you cannot expect a man to understand the nuances of langague. Remember ladies, it is could you not would you.

Yes we call him Gary for most of the episode, oops. Today we are talking about the best selling author, John Gray, but known for Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. On the cover he advertises his PhD but what does he really have a doctorate in??? It has a lot more to do with meditation than you would think.

Today we are talking about the probably soon to be FBI Director, Kash Patel. As with all good heads of governmental departments that are supposed to be nonpartisan, Kash Patel sees Donald Trump as a king. He literally wrote a book about it, so embarrassing for him.

Let it snow but only if you want to be stuck in a random midwest town at a Waffle House or maybe a Starbucks but you also get to be a teen who falls in love so maybe the snow isn't really that bad and you get to forget about your parents being in jail or the fact that you have an irrational hatred of cheerleaders. Really this book is just a bunch of cheerleader hate because these kids are literally so jealous.

The 2019 Netflix movie, Let It Snow, might be based on a book but it is loose at best. Is it better than the book? Maybe not but it is a vaguely holiday themed teen romcom? Yes, it is and that is all we can really ask for.
