Hold onto your horses because this is the silliest podcast in the wilderness! This week we talk Lyla Sage's final book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series: how is this ranch really making money? Is the trust fund... necessary? Can Dusty wear more crop tops? (Plus bonus existential questions about mortality and a 1000 Pound Sisters recap, sort of.)

Trigger Warning for child abuse, sexual assault, and murder (we're talking about Gypsy-Rose Blanchard and Dee Dee so it's expected, but I'm warning you anyway because we love you!)
Gypsy-Rose's new book is OUT and we are eating it up! Almost like she ate up those biscuits...? Join us as we talk about her childhood, speculate about paternity, and discuss illnesses we have no business talking about.

Trigger Warning for cannibalism, sexual assault, gore, other disgusting things, and our gagging noises
This week we talk about Tender is the Flesh and why we DNFed. We try our best to make light of things, but maybe don't listen to this while you're eating lunch. As Gypsy Rose would agree, you have to kiss a few frogs to meet a prince (aka your next five star read).
eat your greens. xoxo, ashlyn & meg
