[00:00:01] Speaker A: You've thought about joining a book club, but there's one problem. You're too busy. Or buying books aren't in your budget.

Whatever the reason, there is a book club for that here at Book Interrupted. Reading the book is not a prerequisite for joining the conversation. It's about connecting and celebrating life's interruptions.

[00:01:06] Speaker D: I don't think I've ever owned a mesh anything.
[00:01:09] Speaker E: And then observing Leah, I was like, what? I had a choice.
[00:01:14] Speaker F: So I was like, that's something you don't show strangers. It's private.
[00:01:17] Speaker B: I feel awkward and embarrassed about how this conversation's gone.
[00:01:21] Speaker C: I'm loving it.

[00:02:22] Speaker E: Leah, how are you?
[00:02:23] Speaker B: Lyn, I'm so good.
[00:02:25] Speaker D: I haven't seen you in so long.
[00:02:27] Speaker B: Yeah, this is a fun little treat. I know.
[00:02:30] Speaker D: I. I was just. Did the other one with them there, and Leah's coming on. I was like.
[00:02:34] Speaker F: I mean, I've seen you guys a little bit, but yeah, y'all.
[00:02:38] Speaker D: No, I love seeing you guys. That's why I'm here.
[00:02:41] Speaker B: So that's fine.
[00:02:42] Speaker C: Yay.
[00:02:43] Speaker H: Things are good.
[00:02:44] Speaker D: I like your overall.
[00:02:45] Speaker B: Really good. Yeah, thanks. I love. I think I want an every day of the week overalls. Like a different color for each day.
[00:02:52] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:02:53] Speaker B: This is how it should be. Like a signature look.
[00:02:56] Speaker C: Where are you getting them? Because I find them difficult to find.
[00:02:59] Speaker B: It is hard to get a good, like, Levi's. Overalls don't fit my body.
[00:03:03] Speaker C: Yeah, you gotta get. I have to wear maternity overalls if I want them to look how I.
[00:03:07] Speaker B: Want them to look.
[00:03:07] Speaker C: Like baggy.
[00:03:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:11] Speaker D: I bought some from Old Navy or something or get a Gap or something. And they were cute.
[00:03:15] Speaker F: So I get all my clothes from the thrift store.
[00:03:17] Speaker C: So I thought you were going to.
[00:03:18] Speaker B: Say that, but I was like, oh, yeah, sick. Remember the classic ones and they were striped. Ikea. I want to say like ikea, but it's not ikea.
[00:03:27] Speaker F: Ikea.
[00:03:28] Speaker B: Ikea. Yeah.
[00:03:30] Speaker C: Those were the overalls to have engineer.
[00:03:33] Speaker B: Right?
[00:03:33] Speaker C: Like you drive the train or whatever.
[00:03:34] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah.
[00:03:36] Speaker A: May.
[00:03:36] Speaker H: Do you remember the ones I got in high school at the thrift store that had that, like, green zipper? But they're kind of like old school, 70s, like, height, very tight.
[00:03:47] Speaker D: Oh, my God, I love them so much.
[00:03:49] Speaker H: I wore them till they, like, were unw.
[00:03:51] Speaker F: I tried to wear them. They did not fit me, but I would put them on.
[00:03:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:55] Speaker F: Trouble getting them off.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: Made a big thing, a big comeback in the 2000s where there was tight overalls. Hot. I had, like, sexy overalls. Bar overall, my overalls are tight. Yesterday I did really just backless outfit is what it was.
Oh, my gosh.
[00:04:16] Speaker H: I remember one time we were coming to see you in London, I think, me and Kara, and we went shopping with you.
And I remember Kara being like. Like there was some sort of outfit that was like crazy sexy and completely outrageous. She's like, who would even be able to pull this off? And then literally later, 15 minutes later, we were all in the change room and you came out with it and we're like. And looking super hot.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: And we're like, leah, I really love body first.
[00:04:44] Speaker H: I don't regret it.
[00:04:45] Speaker B: I think with my own daughter, I'll be like, fuck it. You want to wear a thong in public, do you? Boo. There's such a short amount of time that you're just so fresh.
I was like, wait, yeah, tweet, tweet is a day just like bucket. I guess you want to go. If it's really in to have your vagina hanging out, then let's do it.
[00:05:07] Speaker F: It's now or never, sister.
[00:05:08] Speaker B: Get her now or Never. I don't regret any of it.
I really was mostly naked in public.
I really liked the good nude. Public nudity.
[00:05:19] Speaker D: Oh, well, still not anymore.
[00:05:21] Speaker B: No. Well, I am wearing mesh today.
[00:05:24] Speaker D: Oh, okay.
[00:05:25] Speaker B: Mesh is my new nude in public.
[00:05:27] Speaker G: I love.
[00:05:28] Speaker C: That's your new nude.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: Does anyone else love how mesh feels like? I love it.
[00:05:32] Speaker D: I don't think I've ever owned a mesh anything.
[00:05:36] Speaker C: I have a mesh bag for my fruit.
[00:05:38] Speaker H: Okay. I have one mesh shirt, and it's a hand me down from Leah.
[00:05:44] Speaker B: Oh, God. I've been loving mesh since forever.
[00:05:47] Speaker D: I think it's a challenge. Like, we should all go get something mesh.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: What's fun is that this is a bodysuit, and underneath, if you're not wearing anything underneath, it's just so funny to see, like, your boobs look like eggs underneath mesh.
Okay, I implore you to try it.
[00:06:08] Speaker F: Eggs. Eggs.
[00:06:10] Speaker B: Like, eggs or something. Like, they're all squished so they're like eggs. You know, like a cracked egg. Oh. Not like hard eggs. Like eggs out of their shell.
[00:06:18] Speaker F: Oh, okay.
[00:06:21] Speaker B: I got you. I feel awkward and embarrassed about how this conversation's gone.
[00:06:26] Speaker C: I'm loving it as.
[00:06:27] Speaker F: No, you don't. You do not.
[00:06:29] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:06:30] Speaker D: I don't think my boobs are too big for them to look like.
[00:06:35] Speaker F: Mine are so small. I have the smallest boobs ever. Like, because they nursed for so long, and now they're just the tiniest little things. It's great.
[00:06:43] Speaker C: It's so glad that you nursed them away.
[00:06:46] Speaker B: I was doing hormone replacement therapy for a number of years, and I'm off it now. And I had come to believe that I had big boobs. No, it was a lie. It was hormones. I really believed that they were mine. I'd had them for a couple years, and I was like, no, I'm just a breasty person. No breast. Now they're just sad sacks where my breasts used to live.
[00:07:08] Speaker D: Well, it's so much easier for you.
[00:07:09] Speaker B: Over easy eggs. Over easy Eggs. That's right.
[00:07:13] Speaker F: That's what they are.
[00:07:14] Speaker B: They are.
[00:07:14] Speaker F: I like it.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: Delicious.
[00:07:16] Speaker F: Okay, well, should we do some Adasi stuff?
[00:07:19] Speaker D: Yes. Is Ashley coming?
[00:07:21] Speaker H: So let's give her two more minutes.
[00:07:23] Speaker D: Sarah, I know forever ago you asked for things that you need, and I forget what they are. So what do you still need?
[00:07:29] Speaker H: Interruptions. Video and audio. Because we had so many interruptions on that Marco Polo in video. And then for the first time ever, I'm finally through them all. I only have one left from Kim about PB Herman, but that's It.
[00:07:43] Speaker B: Do they have to be on topic? Not at all.
I don't even know if I have Marco Polo anymore, but I can just. Do you do.
[00:07:50] Speaker H: I paid for them. I paid for all of you guys to have.
[00:07:52] Speaker B: I'm so sorry.
[00:07:53] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:07:54] Speaker B: I didn't realize.
[00:07:54] Speaker H: No, it's fine.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: It's like I don't even download it and you're paying for it. Crazy.
[00:07:59] Speaker H: No, no, I have a. I have a family thing.
[00:08:02] Speaker F: I can't believe you, Leah. You show your face.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: Sounds just about right. Just about perfect.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: What is it your birthday?
[00:08:09] Speaker B: What is my princess birthday?
[00:08:13] Speaker H: That could be your interruption. Your princess birthday.
[00:08:15] Speaker B: I'll go in and make some random comments if they don't have to be on topic.
[00:08:18] Speaker C: Also, you should talk about how you didn't even know you had Marco Polo that someone bought for you.
[00:08:23] Speaker B: I could talk about MASH again, guys. Yes.
[00:08:27] Speaker C: That's an excellent one for a video interruption too. Show them your eggs.
[00:08:31] Speaker B: Show them my egg. I was so close to the conversation to explain the eggs, but luckily we suck it out.
[00:08:38] Speaker G: Yeah.
[00:08:39] Speaker B: Hi. It's nice to see you.
[00:08:41] Speaker G: It's awesome to see you as well. I love your background. It's very inviting, just open and airy. A lot of plants love it.
[00:08:49] Speaker B: Thanks.
[00:08:50] Speaker F: Hey, I got a plant.
[00:08:52] Speaker B: Also.
[00:08:53] Speaker G: Did I only say.
Did I only say that it was Leah? I also meant everybody's plants.
[00:09:02] Speaker B: Everybody's got me.
[00:09:06] Speaker G: Yeah, everyone's got a beautiful background. I just can't even believe.
[00:09:13] Speaker C: And yours.
[00:09:14] Speaker D: I can see that beautiful blurry landscape.
[00:09:17] Speaker G: Thank you. Thank you.
[00:09:18] Speaker D: Beautiful.
[00:09:20] Speaker F: We're making a humid over there. Very humid.
[00:09:24] Speaker B: She's actually in the shower.
[00:09:26] Speaker C: She's in the shower.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: She's in the sauna.
[00:09:27] Speaker G: Oh, my God. Well, no, so I actually. I live in a trailer, so I was thinking this. Just when I went to the bathroom, I took my headphones off and I can really hear the pitter patter of the rain. So I just apologize if my audio is a little.
[00:09:39] Speaker C: I think that's going to be beautiful.
[00:09:41] Speaker G: Oh, okay. Oh, perfect. Maybe we'll put some people to sleep. I actually do ASMR now.
Yeah. So just a heads up, my audio might have a little bit of that in the background, so I'm gonna spin.
[00:09:56] Speaker F: Cycle in it, so.
[00:09:57] Speaker G: Oh, perfect.
[00:09:58] Speaker F: It's fine.
[00:10:00] Speaker G: Awesome. So I don't even hear anything in the background of us, so.
[00:10:03] Speaker H: Yeah, Sarah.
[00:10:04] Speaker F: Because Sarah's doing a great job. Thanks, sir.
[00:10:06] Speaker G: Love it.
[00:10:07] Speaker H: You're welcome.
[00:10:08] Speaker E: No, I don't know.
[00:10:09] Speaker H: The last one wasn't the greatest, but it was fine, I guess.
[00:10:12] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:10:12] Speaker H: So, Kim and Schweitz, your names need to be changed. We need to do another I said.
[00:10:16] Speaker C: Remember for next time as well.
So soon we forget. AI Gaslighting motherfucker.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: I feel like I know on some kind of level.
[00:10:28] Speaker D: I don't even need to know. I just know.
[00:10:30] Speaker B: I just know.
[00:10:33] Speaker H: Oh, everyone's ready for Audacity. Oh, wait, wait, wait.
[00:10:36] Speaker D: No, hold on. I gotta make a new one.
[00:10:39] Speaker A: This interruption is brought to you by unpublished. Do you want to know more about the members and Book Interrupted? Go behind the scenes. Visit our website at www. Bookinterrupted.com book interrupted.
[00:10:55] Speaker C: Have I done this one before?
Where the need for interruptions so that we can keep our podcast on brand actually interrupts my life. Is that ironic? Is that irony at its best? I don't know, but that's what's happening. I have to come up with some interruptions so that we can keep this Book Interrupted podcast at the caliber that it is, which is a very high caliber, I'll have you know. But sometimes having to come up with interruptions is an interruption itself. What do you think about that book Interrupted?
[00:11:30] Speaker H: Parallels?
[00:11:31] Speaker F: Those cousins are born on the same day.
[00:11:34] Speaker C: No.
[00:11:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:35] Speaker F: Allison. I'd have the same birthday.
[00:11:37] Speaker E: Oh, I know. And you can see their fears. Independent. Yeah.
[00:11:41] Speaker H: The hardest thing for me is going to get her to wear underwear or pants. She just wants to go commando all the time with dresses on. We had actually said to her, I'm like, you're gonna show people your private parts. And he's like, they're not private anymore if everyone's seen them.
[00:11:57] Speaker B: True.
[00:12:00] Speaker F: I had my same conversation with Elsa this week. She's like, why do I have to wear underwear? I'm like, because people can will be able to see your vagina when you're wearing shorts. And she's like. So I was like, that's something you don't show strangers. It's private. So just don't show people your vagina. We have this conversation all the time. She doesn't want to wear underwear.
[00:12:15] Speaker D: I have a friend who doesn't. She wears dresses and she doesn't wear underwear ever.
[00:12:18] Speaker F: But is she climbing the monkey bars?
[00:12:21] Speaker E: Douglas.
[00:12:22] Speaker H: Right.
[00:12:23] Speaker E: Is she not?
[00:12:24] Speaker G: Maybe.
[00:12:25] Speaker D: Or maybe. Actually have not seen her climb. But she's adventurous.
[00:12:29] Speaker G: Maybe. Maybe she would.
[00:12:30] Speaker D: Maybe like, she wouldn't wear underwear.
[00:12:34] Speaker E: Please take her to the playground.
[00:12:36] Speaker H: Is she born on November 17, is the question.
[00:12:40] Speaker E: Maybe.
[00:12:41] Speaker D: I don't know. I have to.
[00:12:42] Speaker F: Next time you see her, find out.
[00:12:43] Speaker H: Maybe it's an astrological thing on that.
[00:12:46] Speaker E: Day where underwear Leah was the same way. Growing up, she would go through phases. When she was really little, it was exclusively rubber boots. It was a question mark whether other garments would be included in the outfit. Or sometimes Leah would just decide, no, this season we're not doing coats. We're just.
[00:13:05] Speaker H: Is Leah younger than you?
[00:13:07] Speaker E: Yeah. And I just used to remember Leah was always wonderful because I would be like a yes, mom. Whatever you say, Mom. Okay. This is what I do. And then observing Leah, I was like, what? I had a choice. I was like, this is interesting.
[00:13:24] Speaker F: Yeah, Yeah.
[00:13:26] Speaker B: I remember the not wearing coats thing, but now coats are my favorite item. I don't know.
[00:13:32] Speaker F: You have so many coats.
[00:13:33] Speaker B: Like, oh, my God. I get mad because I get warm inside and I have to take my coat off when it's like, the prize of the outfit.
Yeah, it's the best part.
[00:13:45] Speaker H: Oh, maybe underwear will be Aita's favorite thing when she's older.
[00:13:48] Speaker F: Maybe.
[00:13:48] Speaker B: There you go.
[00:13:50] Speaker C: Book interrupted.
[00:13:52] Speaker A: Are you curious to find out what our Season 5 theme is?
[00:13:55] Speaker H: Maybe you want to join and have.
[00:13:56] Speaker A: A fan book pick. Listen to this behind the scenes to find out.
[00:14:00] Speaker F: This is my idea for a theme, but we don't have to do this theme. But I was thinking there's a lot of books now that are. There's like an adult book and then a kid version. So you could do, like, one that has, like, both where they've rewritten the book for kids.
[00:14:12] Speaker E: I was like, oh, that might be fun.
[00:14:13] Speaker G: I hope that they did that.
[00:14:14] Speaker F: Yeah, there's a lot, right? Well, Sapiens has one. Number one, because Sarah bought it for the kids, but they're doing it more and more. Which one? There's a lot. I don't know. There's a lot of books, though. But I don't know.
[00:14:27] Speaker H: Is there Pride and Prejudice? Is there a Twilight? Because if there isn't, I don't know.
[00:14:31] Speaker F: There probably a Twilight.
[00:14:32] Speaker C: A baby Twilight.
[00:14:33] Speaker F: Oh, totally.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: Baby Twilight 1.
[00:14:36] Speaker F: Baby Twilight 1. But they do this a lot more where there's, like, the adult book and then they make it, like, more digestible for a younger audience, which is kind of cool because then you can have, like, read along with your kids or whatever.
[00:14:48] Speaker H: Okay, so should we talk about next season themes? Let's do that first and then we'll do the game quickly.
[00:14:53] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:14:53] Speaker H: These are some of the ones that I've been thinking about and talking to other people about, too. So one is a theme of suspended disbelief. You know how sometimes you have to read books and you have to be like, okay, like, I have to believe that this is possible, to really get into the story. So that kind of makes it really wide, right?
[00:15:10] Speaker G: Yep.
[00:15:11] Speaker H: Twilight could be included in that.
[00:15:12] Speaker C: I was just gonna say that would include Twilight, right?
[00:15:15] Speaker F: Themes include Twilight a little bit.
[00:15:20] Speaker H: Another one would be Women centered books that are like, the women are the main character. So centered. Women centered.
[00:15:27] Speaker G: That could be the second Hunger Games.
[00:15:30] Speaker H: Exactly.
[00:15:31] Speaker D: Hunger Games.
[00:15:32] Speaker G: Exactly.
[00:15:33] Speaker D: Or we just do all Twilight and.
[00:15:35] Speaker C: Hunger Games as well as still a.
[00:15:37] Speaker F: Whole season of Twilight.
[00:15:38] Speaker H: Hunger Games.
[00:15:39] Speaker G: Yes.
[00:15:41] Speaker H: Another one I put is Guilty Pleasures.
[00:15:43] Speaker F: Wow.
[00:15:44] Speaker H: I'm iffy on that one.
[00:15:45] Speaker C: Oh, we're over it now. After the Hating Game conversation.
[00:15:49] Speaker H: We did the Hating Game. That's fine. I had memoirs, too. Maybe I had book crushes. Like, if you have a book that you thought was amazing, they would have to be one you already read. Then it could be each one of us are putting up a book crush we have. So games could be that too. Ashley.
[00:16:06] Speaker G: Oh, yeah.
[00:16:07] Speaker H: And then Mares, just kids. That and adult books. They both have it. So anyone else?
[00:16:13] Speaker F: Any suggestions?
[00:16:13] Speaker H: Or, like, one or the other?
[00:16:15] Speaker G: I like the women one.
[00:16:17] Speaker D: Yeah, the women one.
[00:16:18] Speaker F: The woman one. Suspended disbelief.
[00:16:20] Speaker C: Yeah, I like the women one, too.
[00:16:22] Speaker H: Yeah. I thought the woman one. That's my favorite. And then suspended disbelief was my second, so. Okay, great. So why don't we do women centered then?
[00:16:28] Speaker F: It's really wide.
[00:16:30] Speaker D: It's so wide.
[00:16:32] Speaker C: It could be a memoir. Like, it could be any of the categories. As long as the woman is at.
[00:16:36] Speaker H: The stage and our audience really is. 99% of the people who listen to our podcast are women.
[00:16:42] Speaker C: Mute women.
[00:16:43] Speaker F: And the other 1% are our husbands.
[00:16:47] Speaker H: Maybe not my husband.
[00:16:50] Speaker C: Mute women with no fans.
[00:16:51] Speaker F: Not my husband. He's never heard the podcast before.
[00:16:54] Speaker H: My husband's heard it, but tell him.
[00:16:56] Speaker G: It'S not too late.
[00:16:57] Speaker D: Yeah, sometimes I have it on in the background. Laird will hear it. But, like, yeah, yeah.
[00:17:03] Speaker G: Tell our biggest fan.
[00:17:05] Speaker H: I make him listen to our podcast every time.
[00:17:07] Speaker B: Do you?
[00:17:08] Speaker C: I do, too.
[00:17:09] Speaker G: Yeah. When I leave. Yeah, Yeah. I love it.
[00:17:12] Speaker C: I'm our biggest fan, too. I always listen to our podcast. I wait for the first of the month.
[00:17:17] Speaker B: Yeah, I do, too.
[00:17:18] Speaker H: Even though I edited it, I'm like, oh, great. I can hear it as if I'm a listener.
[00:17:22] Speaker B: Not like, oh.
[00:17:24] Speaker F: And then every time your own voice comes on, you're like, is that what I sound like.
[00:17:30] Speaker D: Also?
[00:17:30] Speaker H: And then if there's a mistake in the podcast, I'm like, shit.
[00:17:34] Speaker F: Notice that.
[00:17:35] Speaker H: Like, sometimes I'm, like, enjoying it and doing whatever, cooking. And then I'm like, to change that.
[00:17:39] Speaker F: Did you hear that?
[00:17:40] Speaker H: And then sometimes I'll go in and the tweak. I wonder.
[00:17:43] Speaker F: I wonder if anybody's going to pick a lady that everyone just hates. Like, she's the main character, but she's despicable.
[00:17:49] Speaker H: So that would be good, too. Like, just like, it could be.
[00:17:53] Speaker C: I can't even think of Gone Girl.
[00:17:55] Speaker H: Like, she was horrible.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:56] Speaker G: That's serious.
[00:17:58] Speaker C: Gone Girl. Remember that movie? That was based on a book.
[00:18:01] Speaker B: It was.
[00:18:03] Speaker C: We should have done that book for this.
[00:18:04] Speaker H: I hated her.
[00:18:09] Speaker G: Such a good book.
[00:18:09] Speaker H: Yeah, I know. I should have done Glass Castle. I almost did that. Lindsay, you recommended that book to me.
[00:18:15] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:18:15] Speaker H: When we were living together. And that movie is actually pretty good, too. It had Woody Harrelson in it. And I was going back and forth because I. I wanted a book I haven't read yet. And then that's why I got the long way home. Anyway, okay, so that's our theme for next year.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: Great.
