5 min read"Get your tickets now for the dog stars. It's no surprise how fast civilization can disappear. There are people out there. They need our help. Josh Burlin. Shoot first. More good quality. The dog stars. Directed by Ridley Scott and Theaters August 28th. What are you doing?" That's not the episode—that's an ad. The actual episode opens with Louie Castro celebrating her 27th birthday a week early in the studio, surrounded by purple decorations from a vendor named Crafty Sweet Mama, while co-host Yoatzi Castro (her sister) looks on.
This is a celebration episode for two milestones: Louie's birthday and the podcast's official signing with Dear Media network. After operating ad-free and independently, Pretty, Not Smart now has a full network backing them. "This is our first time working with a new network that's going to be like 360 taking care of pretty not smart," Louie explains. The episode is structured around surprise guests—Louie's close friends—who arrive dressed as different "eras" of Louie's personal style over the years, from her goth phase to her "cholo trying to fit in" phase to her current fashion-forward look.
