Welcome back to Hot Takes and Deep Dives and today we are pulling out the history books

with Tony Trius of MLVC Thee Madonna Podcast.

So we are doing a deep dive on what I consider to be the juiciest celeb tell-all of all time.

This is life with my sister Madonna written by her brother, Christopher Cicconi.

Hi Tony.

Hi Jess, thanks for having me, this is going to be fun.

So I want to hear your journey with this book, like when did you discover it?

Because if there's just one piece of advice that I have for people is to absolutely listen

to it on audio rather than read the hard text.

Right.

I bought the book obviously when it came out, I think it was a 2009 or 2010.

So I went out and purchased the physical book, I remember reading it and one sitting throwing

it across the room and I wasn't impressed by it and I just, I thought it was mean spirited

at that time, I think I was in love with, I was in love with the hard candy.

And I think there was like a tour hasn't been announced yet or something like that.

And she was also about to or in the process of divorcing Guy Richie.

So I just felt like it was just, oh, this is like, you know, that's so interesting.

Because the first time, so I listened to this book for the first time, maybe like eight

or nine years ago and I was transfixed.

I was transfixed by his voice.

This dude's voice, this guy's voice is so, it's like hypnotic in a way, right?

It gets incredibly deep and like, it's like, you really get like sucked into the world
