Bach Nation, if you've ever felt like Kelsey Anderson could be your sister, this one's for you. Our fourth Maher sister today might be a real life Disney princess: You saw her win the final rose on The Bachelor, and since then, she’s walked runways from New York to Miami, designed sold-out swimsuit collections, and built a social following of nearly 2 million. She’s a loving fiancée to Dancing With the Stars’ Joey Graziadei (the winner of Ilona's season), and she’s an animal lover who once nursed a snowy owl back to health. We gab with Kelsey about wedding planning, our Super Bowl picks (and why we love Bad Bunny), MMA wrestling with your siblings, Fernando Mendoza, and more! Press play to hang 💖

Becca Bastos is in the house!!! Our fourth Maher sister today is an insanely funny actress, comedian and content creator who you may know as your eccentric Pilates instructor, overworked Long Island mom, or the down-and-out Elf on the Shelf. Her videos are a masterclass in chaotic character work, but behind the scenes, she’s a self-described Type A planner who scripts every line. She’s the creative mind behind the characters you send to your group chat and she gave a voice to your luteal phase. She is a brilliant comedian and now she’s officially our sister.

Welcome worldclass comedian Chelsea Handler to the family! Our fourth Maher sister today has been unapologetically herself since she was ten years old selling hard lemonade at the neighborhood stand. She’s a legendary comedian, selling out venues all over the country, and the trailblazing force behind the late-night hit Chelsea Lately, where she was the only woman host in late night for seven straight years. She’s also a SEVEN-TIME NYT-bestselling author, with SIX topping the charts at #1. 

Whether she’s doing sold-out shows in Vegas, dominating the charts with a Netflix special, or skiing in a bikini on her birthday, she does it all with so much style. Her latest book, I’ll Have What She’s Having, is already a massive hit.

Welcome to the family, Alex and Maia Shibutani! Our fourth and fifth Maher siblings are absolute legends who have earned two Olympic medals, three World Championship medals, and a spot in the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame- and that’s not all. After a seven year break where they became best-selling authors, they’ve laced up their skates again for one of the most anticipated comebacks in the sport. They are the first ice dancers of Asian descent to medal at the Olympics, and the first sibling duo from the U.S. to do it.

Welcome the formidable, the brilliant, the unapologetic Drew and Deison Afualo! Our fourth and fifth Maher sisters today are reigning queens of roasting and lesbian romances. First up: One of our sisters you may know as the woman who built a throne on the rubble of misogyny, armed with an unmistakable laugh and a take-no-prisoners attitude. She’s a TIME100 Creator, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and the first Samoan woman to become a New York Times bestselling author with her book, Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve. 

Her sister Deison and partner-in-crime is the cohost of their chart-topping podcast, Two Idiot Girls, and she’s a powerhouse creator all her own. She’s a fierce advocate for queer Pasifika representation, a writer, and a comedian - She's also passionate about lesbian sports romances, which we get into in detail.

It would be crazy to do an episode about romance without an ACTUAL #1 NYT Bestselling romance author: Our fourth Maher sister today is a certified Renaissance woman who is as skilled with a frosting tip as she is with a Friends-to-Lovers trope. She owns three bakeries, and her books have sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. She has a knack for writing stories that make you laugh right before they make you cry. Her latest, Say You'll Remember Me, shot straight to #1, and she’s here to talk about writing romance that feels as real and satisfying as the perfect cupcake.

We're doing the same thing you're doing this week, fam: Watching Twilight in our sweatpants. #comfortwatch Join us as we get into what we do on Thanksgiving before we walk down memory lane and celebrate the recent theatrical re-release of Twilight and debate whether Edward Cullen is still hot or just creepy (We love you, Robert Pattinson, and we love your Lie Detector test with Jennifer Lawrence). Plus, we get into watching Lord of the Rings for the first time EVER and whether or not those lil' hobbits are into each other or just friends. And it wouldn't be right to discuss all these adaptations without stepping into The Book Nook, so we're talking Alchemised (the published version of Manacled) as well as The Housemaid. Get in your cozies, pile some leftovers on your plate, and tune in!
