"Lez Girls" is hot off the press and Bette doesn't care for it in Episode 411 "Literary License to Kill." We are joined by listener SSG Lauren Montoya, who reached out to us about sharing how Tasha's fictional experience in the military compares to her actual one. Together, we witness Henry ripping off his toenails in front of my face, a bad day for Spacegate at Intechmode, Jodi eating an orange, Shane daddying Jared and sniffing purses, Helena’s relationship continuing to deteriorate, everybody yelling at everybody else about who is or is not a lesbian, and Molly Kroll's debut appearance!

Hey one second, Monet has come back from the dead and is on the other line and he says "please get Hazel the nanny out of this episode." Just an idea! It's a real rollercoaster of an episode this week: on the upside, we meet Tasha. On the downside, Phyllis's family photo is troubling. Meanwhile: Bette and Jodi get dirty and nasty and high, Phyllis wants to orbit around Alice forever and ever, Debbie loves Lindsay's sexy armpits and also manatees, Helena breaks glass all over her tiny foods, Jenny publishes her Russian novella "Lez Girls" in The New Yorker, Paige wishes Shane would hit on her and so do we. Get your torsos into your pants everybody.

Rancho Notorious is West Hollywood’s hottest new Girls Night at The Planet. You’ll find Heads Will Roll Kroll on the prowl, Papi with a girl on each arm, many bales of hay and Shane, a skinny little white girl. But first, stop in on Tina and Henry’s Mixer for Our Gay and Straight Friends, a bona-fide disaster party full of honest homophobes and Bette’s intense top energy. Also, Jenny’s still upset about her review, Helena’s bad at jobs, and Nadia has never wanted to kiss anyone as much as she wants to kiss Bette Porter right now!
