Veronica and Rae are both on the mend from their various illnesses and are wrapping up Sierra Simone month with A Merry Little Meet Cute! This co-authored book features a plus-size porn star, a former boy band bad boy, and a squeaky-clean movie being filmed in a tiny little Christmas town in the mountains of Vermont. She's trying to pivot her career and he's trying to revitalize his, all while hiding massive secrets on set. Can they pull it off while also pulling off each other's clothes? Also discussed: the flu (get your shot and wear a mask!), the people we've met via this podcast, and the infamously incestuous Folgers commercial.

In today's very special episode, we open with a chat about what Blythe has been up to for the last year: Having a baby! We get deep into the body horror otherwise known as pregnancy, and Blythe's experience giving birth and breastfeeding. We talk exploding boobs and so much more. Then, join us for a festive discussion about A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone (book discussion starts at ~26 minutes): Bee Hobbes (aka Bianca Von Honey) has a successful career as a plus-size adult film star. With a huge following and two supportive moms, Bee couldn't ask for more. But when Bee's favorite producer casts her to star in a Christmas movie he's making for the squeaky-clean Hope Channel, Bee's career is about to take a more family-friendly direction. Forced to keep her work as Bianca under wraps, Bee quickly learns this is a task a lot easier said than done - though it all becomes worthwhile when she discovers her co-star is none other than childhood crush Nolan Shaw, an ex-boy band member in desperate need of career rehab. Nolan has promised his manager to keep it zipped up on set, and he will if it means he'll be able to provide a more stable living situation for his family. But things heat up quickly in Christmas Notch, Vermont, when Nolan recognizes his new co-star from her ClosedDoors account (oh yeah, he's a member). Now Bee and Nolan are sneaking off for quickies on set, keeping their new relationship a secret. If Bee and Nolan can't keep their off-camera romance behind the scenes, then this merry little meet cute might end up on the cutting room floor. In this episode, we get into our love for cheesy Hallmark Channel movies, our own teenage boy band crushes, and the advantages of always bringing lube. We also discuss how porn is like a Christmas movie, how sex toys should be for everyone, and what the real meaning of Christmas is. My mic is a little too hot during this episode, sorry about that folks!! We haven't done this in a while.

For the authors of A Merry Little Meet-Cute, their own meet-cute was best friendship at first sight. Sierra Simone and Julie Murphy join Julie in this episode to discuss their book about “two horny dummies just trying to navigate Christmas,” but what will delight you in this episode is the depth and intelligence of these two authors and former librarians. They speak with Julie about the intention they bring to their co-authored title, covering topics from sex work and fetishization to the experience of the neurodivergent in a capitalist world that pushes a narrow view of productivity. Oh, and lube, of course. Don't miss this season finale of Season Three! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Julie wrote the young adult novel Dumplin' that became the 2018 Jennifer Aniston movie of the same title. Now she's branching out into some spicy romance with her new book, A Merry Little Meet Cute, about a pornstar who is cast in a wholesome Christmas movie. It's funny. It's raunchy. It's perfect for the season. We talk about whether she is the most famous living person from Arlington, why the water tastes bad in Dalworthington Gardens, if Dolly Parton (who wrote the music for Dumplin') might have sleeve tattoos, and her friend who has hypnagogic hallucinations. Also, she attempts to recall as many euphemisms for genitalia as she can in 30 seconds.
