JoJo Siwa Breakup + Romance Novels Deserve Your Upmost Respect, JK Rowling Does Not
Chelsea and Kristina are back in the Cookie Jar with pop culture chaos and cookie-fueled commentary. They break down JoJo Siwa’s “Big Brother” identity arc and wrap-party breakup, Coach Bill Belichick’s decades-younger girlfriend running his PR, and a rare Rob Lowe moment they actually agree with. Plus: a deep dive into romance novel discourse from the Patreon cookies and the cultural double standard that treats women’s stories like trash. Also: JK Rowling is still a loser, but can fan fiction be a form of resistance?
Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including sexual assault. Take care while listening, and find helpful resources here.

Danielle Steel’s Memoir Pure Joy (with Sarah Wendell)
Chelsea is joined by Smart Bitches Trashy Books host Sarah Wendell to break down Danielle Steel’s unhinged 2013 dog memoir “Pure Joy.” Spoiler alert! It’s not really about the dogs. They unpack Danielle’s FIVE marriages, her habit of surprise dog-gifting, and a 20-hour writing schedule that explains everything and nothing all at once. Plus, poop politics and a ranking system for dogs so tough, her first dog didn’t even make the dedication page.
