Celebrities are well known for being mentally ill narcissists.  It's why we love them, apparently.  Sometimes, however, the crazy goes past quirky and into scary territory.  You know, like Jim Carrey, Charlie Sheen, and Lindsay Lohan.  Charlize is very close to that line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kids like alliteration.  What they don't like is reading, at least as long as someone else can do it for them.  As a children's author, Tracey is aware of both of these things.  Hence the Chestnut Challenge.  And speaking of alliteration, here's some for you: Rich Coachella urchins are exchanging itchy chin patches.  Gross.

They say the world will end not with a bang, but with a whimper.  The same kind of holds true for the latest Avengers series; three hours isn't exactly a bang.  More like a loud rumbling.  Still, it apparently doesn't suck.  Can you believe it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever seen those greek tragedy/comedy masks?  Did you know that those masks were inspired by Anthony's life?  I assume so anyway.  He's a comedian who lost a three year old daughter, so he's certainly qualified to wear them both.

You're not supposed to put all your eggs in one basket, unless it's Easter.  Then you win.  You win the eggs you picked up.  It's supposed to teach children the harsh reality of being a rabbit.  Or maybe it's just something for kids to do.  The symbolism behind the holiday isn't entirely clear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Bigfoot really a monster?  He doesn't hurt anyone.  He just likes to walk around.  Regardless, Erin is in search of him and other cryptozoological wonders.  El Chapo, ironically, is in fact a monster even though he's human.  Jack was in search of him until he caught him and put him in jail.  This time for good, hopefully.

The Mueller report is out, but even more. Or something. Reactions range from denial to denial. Which flavor of denial depends on whether or not they voted for Trump.

Leon is one of those people who went through what most psychologists would call "contributing factors" when testifying at a criminal trial.  Then he went through it again, several times.  Instead of becoming a criminal, he became a 32 year Navy veteran.  And here we are just making a podcast.  Our excuse is that we have daddy issues, much like the character in Amara's movie.  Well, some of us.   BROKEN: A MEMOIRLink- bit.ly/BROKENaMemoir "Daddy Issues" opening April 19th at Emagine Theater in LakevilleSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
