Oct 1301:40:46Tap to summarizeJoin the chicks to discuss Hilaria Baldwin's weird fake accent, The terrible wigs from Breaking Dawn part 2, that time Alec Baldwin shot someone, the Ghost Adventures guy whose wife hired a hitman to kill him, and of course, the next two chapters of this god-awful book. Karyn gets extremely mad about Smeyer's characterization of indigenous gender roles, and Bella is still super racist. Also, happy half birthday to Pebbles!

Oct 601:38:56Tap to summarizeHello again! The Chicks are back to discuss the next two chapters of New Moon, as well as, but not limited to: Mideival torture, Karyn's dating life update, the Sewer Rat April Fool's featuring Jackson Rathbone, and how gross Trumpy coffee is. Our contempt for Book Bella deepens as she accuses Jake of being a murderer because she's dumb, and then even more when Smeyer's extremely ignorant and creepy description of indigenous teenagers is read aloud. Join the Chicks for a very, VERY racially charged couple of chapters, we honestly were in disbelief over how bad it was. 🎬Media Recs/What Are We Watching: "Severance" on Apple TV + "Wicked" on Peacock 🍸☕Drinks of the Day: Black Rifle "Tactisquatch" (Aubree); Beet Juice and Soda (Karyn) (yeah... this week wasn't a home run for the drinks) ************* If you want to support The Chicks, check out their Social Media: Website: https://linktr.ee/chicklit Instagram: @chicklitpod Bluesky: @chicklitpod.bsky.social Twitter: @chicklitpod Gmail: Chicklit.podcast.info@gmail.com Merch: https://chick-lit-podcast.crea...
