PODCAST

Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily

Celebrity memoirs aren’t like normal books—they’re fun! Join comedians Steven Phillips-Horst (@gossipbabies) & 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.

Chip & Joanna “Fixer Upper” Gaines

Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily ·

2022/09/07

Open the barn doors! We’re reclaiming wood, exposing the beams and throwin’ up shiplap with renovation sensations and the stars of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper,” Chip and Joanna Gaines’ madcap memoir “The Magnolia Story.” From just a small construction company in Waco to building a huge farm/theme park in Waco, from denim overalls to Target lines, proposing in a hallway, suburban cottagcore, and guessing Joanna’s ethnicity—this one has really good bones.

Natalie “Lolita-core” Portman

Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily ·

2022/08/31

It’s time for a real, bona fide star! Settle in for storytime with Oscar winner, Dior model and Israeli-American ingenue Natalie Portman—and her libfem fantasia of a children’s book, “Fables.” From her wildly influential 90’s style to her anti-Netanyahu politics, the tortoise as a woman, narc lesbian wolves, gay penguin couples, pighood obesity and the color “dusk,” this story’s got one hell of a moral.

2022/08/17

Fresh powder, anyone? It’s all downhill from here as we carve into female (!) snowboarder Tina Basich’s deeply random 2003 memoir “Pretty Good For a Girl.” From Sacramento’s skater scene to whether the Waldorf school is for hippies (it is), Lily’s childhood skilessness, Steven’s favorite French resorts, anti-snowboarder propaganda, dating Dave Grohl, heli-jumping with the Beastie Boys, and wearing flannel PJ’s to the Playboy mansion—this is one goofy trip down the half-pipe.
