Excerpts from Anthony Fauci's 1,100-page private diary detail his extensive interactions with celebrities during the pandemic. Entries describe Zoom calls with Julia Roberts, medical advice given to Barbra Streisand regarding a shingles lesion, and an evening escorting Joan Baez at the Kennedy Center. The hosts suggest these writings demonstrate Fauci was more focused on his public image and celebrity status than medical science.

British authorities banned a L'Oreal advertisement featuring Julia Roberts, ruling that the image was overly airbrushed and misleading. The ban was sparked by concerns from a Member of Parliament regarding the impact of digitally altered images on the body confidence of young women.

Oprah Winfrey's struggling OWN network is discussed following the firing of its CEO. To boost ratings, Oprah features a segment with Hillary Clinton and Julia Roberts discussing the political implications of changing hairstyles to distract from news cycles.

A host provides a critical review of the film Eat Pray Love, starring Julia Roberts, after viewing it at the Director's Guild. The film is criticized for its two-and-a-half-hour runtime, excessive product placement for American Express and Sony Vaio, and its failure to capture the essence of the book. The discussion notes that Brad Pitt served as an executive producer on the project.

The show concludes with a critique of the movie "Eat Pray Love" and its extensive merchandising on the Home Shopping Network, which includes "gelato-scented body wash." The hosts contrast this "chick flick" culture with the "value-for-value" support of their listeners. They mention an upcoming interview with adult film star Bobby Eden on the Daily Source Code before signing off for the Sunday service.
