Episode Summary: We're kicking off the seventh season of Boobies & Noobies with Emma Barry, whose latest release, Chick Magnet, is available now! Along with Emma's new book - which touches on everything from farm animals to gaslighting and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic - we also discuss such topics as how the pandemic has affected our media consumption, owning farm animals, and the concepts of "chaos muppets."

Guest: Emma Barry, author of Chick Magnet

Book Summary:
From Emma Barry comes a clever romance about a hot veterinarian and a chicken-loving influencer who can’t help but ruffle each other’s feathers.

Nicole Jones needs a fresh start. “Chick Nic” to millions of internet fans, the social media star and her flock of chickens bask in the spotlight—until she’s publicly dumped by a YouTuber for clout. She has no choice but to round up her birds and move on.

But when one of her hens has an emergency, Nic gets her first taste of her new stomping grounds—and it isn’t good. Veterinarian Will Lund is wildly attractive, yes, but he’s also surly. In fact, he comes right out and calls her a menace for parading her chickens on social media.

As neighbors, Nic and Will can’t exactly avoid each other. Then again, maybe they don’t want to. The two can’t deny their smoldering attraction, and it isn’t long before late-night confessions lead to backyard shenanigans.

Is this the start of a neighborly relationship—or could something more be hatching?
