In this episode, Rachel and Adrienne talk about social media burnout and the documentary "Circus of Books" (available on Netflix), which is about a family-owned gay porn shop in LA. The themes in the documentary spawn a whole separate conversation about code-switching and setting boundaries as a sex worker, family and acceptance, sex worker and sex-work-adjacent stigma, and religion. Adrienne also goes on a long rant about a particularly problematic ex-boyfriend, and Rachel gets to say "I told you so."
