“To Lee Leonard, who knew me better than anyone else on earth and loved me anyway”

Could this be the best celebrity memoir either of us have ever read? This week, Tara and Haley dive into the first few chapters of Kelly Bishop’s memoir, “The Third Gilmore Girl”. What was meant to be a single episode recap of the book accidentally evolved into a multi-part series of us just pouring over Kelly’s early years, her path to starring in “A Chorus Line”, the highs and lows of her tumultuous relationships, and her yen to become an actor in Hollywood. “Gee I wish…” we could have finished this in one episode but would couldn’t stop yapping about it! So grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable, because Tara and Haley have more to say.

Join us at Helium Comedy Club Atlanta on December 5th for Happy Birthday Besties to celebrate Tara and Haley's Birthday!

Today, I am joined by the bookish ladies of the bookish podcast Bring Your Own-- my friends Brandi, Kendra, and Kayla to discuss the September pick for Reading Is Sexy, Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez. This book was SO popular in the book club and while I couldn't get Abby on, I still wanted to discuss one of my favorite books with y'all, so I invited Bring Your Own on to chat because it is one of their favorite books, too! This is definitely an Abby Jimenez lovefest, but we also discuss how BYO got started podcasting, what they think about Gilmore girls even though one of them has never seen it, and of course, all the things we love and feel questionably about in Part of Your World. It really is the perfect book for Gilmore girls fans to read. Next month, we'll be reading Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage!!! Yee hawwwwww!

Where you call, we will answer! This week's episode has us considering your thoughts after us posing the question of whether or not Logan is more like Christopher or Lorelai.

Are Lorelai and Logan two sides of the same coin? We’ve been saying it for years and we’re finally ready to dive in. Logan Huntzberger is often compared to Christopher Hayden, but have we stopped to consider how Logan Huntzberger is the product of who Lorelai could have been had she taken the path her parents wanted her to? Tied together by their past, their contentious relationship with their parents, and even some of their dialogue, is Logan more like Lorelai than he is like Christopher? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to say.

No, the fandom of Gilmore Girls isn’t culty!!!!! …okay, maybe a little. New York Times’ Best Selling Author and host of Sounds Like A Cult Podcast, Amanda Montell, joins us to talk about the mob mentality that surrounds the opinions of Gilmore Girls, particularly the visceral reactions to Rory Gilmore’s character, on this, the day of her 40th birthday. Last year’s episode, Happy Birthday Rory Gilmore, Everybody Hates You prompted a wide spectrum of reactions from the fandom; where some backpedaled on their criticism to show her love as others defended their analysis based on her character’s choices. So why do we feel so strongly about Rory’s fall from grace? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable, because Tara, Haley, and Amanda have more to say. Be sure to be on the look out for our tandem episode with Amanda on her podcast Sounds Like A Cult, where she breaks down the history of cultish communities and asks insightful questions about where the Gilmore Girls fandom falls on the spectrum.

On this lovely Thursday, I am joined by Jessica Joyce, the author of Reading Is Sexy's August pick-- The Ex Vows. Georgia, the main character of The Ex Vows, is a blend of Rory's character traits with Lorelai's lost relationship with Luke. Jessica has noticed some patterns about releasing your first and second novels and shares how she gets her brain ready to write. She's of course a Gilmore girls fan and reveals which of Rory's team she's on and why! We love a why! And of course, we have a spoiler chat about The Ex Vows (listen out for the warning!) and how crafting such beautiful emotional arcs for both Georgia and Eli was a lot like taking them to therapy. Next month, we'll be reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna and The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop.
