| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to worst bestsellers, where we read about a black widow in your chardonnay, I mean fruit basket, so you don't have to. |
| 0:20.1 | I'm Renata. |
| 0:21.2 | And I'm Kate. |
| 0:22.4 | And for this episode, we read Nancy Drew number 111, The Secret at Solair by Carolyn Keen. |
| 0:31.4 | Joining us to discuss this cautionary tale about the dangers of MLMs is Kristen, former camp counselor and budding Nancy Drew expert. |
| 0:40.8 | Hello. |
| 0:41.5 | Hello, Kristen. Welcome, welcome back to the podcast. |
| 0:46.0 | I was so excited when you asked me to be on this one that Nancy Drew accidentally became my entire personality between now and then. Yes, perfect. |
| 0:56.9 | That will make up for me being fairly Nancy averse, I'll say, to the point where when we were |
| 1:07.3 | talking about what to do for Flashback Summer and I was like, oh, Nancy Drew, |
| 1:11.5 | God, I can't believe we haven't done Nancy Drew before. And then I realized we did do Nancy Drew. |

| 1:51.8 | probably deserved there. Oh, thank God. Yeah, in our early days of the podcast, we just really |
| 1:57.8 | didn't think we were going to keep doing this podcast for eight years. So we were always like rushing to be like, well, we have to do, we have to do like two books in this episode. And now we're like, oh my God, we like we use up all the twilights too soon. Like we got to pace ourselves because who knows how much longer we're going to do this. We could run out of books. |
| 2:16.9 | So that flashback summer in particular, we were just afraid that there wasn't enough content |
| 2:22.6 | in a single, we had yet to really understand that we can talk a lot about anything to fill a whole |
