Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily Outspoken
-
- Comedy
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.

Tom "Watersports" Daley
God Save the Queen! This week we DIVE into British Olympian Tom Daley’s book, "Coming Up for Air: What I Learned from Sport, Fame and Fatherhood." We cover his path from casual curry Thursdays and the Olympics to marrying the screenwriter of the film "Milk." We go deep into our personal aquatic experiences, the dangers of flash photography, and why you need to get married in a castle. ALSO, gays who collect children's clothing: creepy or no?

Diego “P-I-M-Poly” Rivera
Oh Diego, won’t you paint me like one of your communist laborers? This week we stretch the canvas of our mind and dig into extremely famous artist/activist/revolutionary Diego Rivera’s book, "My Art, My Life: An Autobiography." We talk about his on/off relash with Frida, sketching Stalin in a cafe, controversial murals, shit talking with Picasso, and making battle plans at age 9. We also ask the ultimate question: would everyone in Bushwick be happier with a part-time factory job?

"The Fat Jew"
MEME THIS, B*TCH! Pour yourself a glass of White Girl Rosé as we discuss OG Meme Lord Josh Ostrovsky (aka The Fat Jew) and his memoir, "Money Pizza Respect." We go balls-deep into this freaking epic book and cover splooging on Russian strippers, why making fun of Tampa is for hacks, Nintendo Power Gloves, the evolution of male friendship, top buns, pre-Trump era comedy, and how he literally invented being an influencer. We also pose the question: where is he???

Dame Judi "Permanently 72" Dench
Oh, behave! Please welcome to the podcast stage Dame Judi Dench and her book "And Furthermore." Britain’s most beloved actress regaled us with tales of every single goddamn play in which she’s performed, her friendship with Harvey Weinstein, Shakespeare, wet kilts, her love of champagne, her feud on the set of "Tomorrow Never Dies," and staying loyal to British designers. Then we ponder the age-old question, "What’s harder to do: DRAMA or COMEDY"?
