1. Go Help Yourself: A Comedy Self-Help Podcast to Make Life Suck Less brings back a self-help trivia showdown with Lisa Linke, Misty Stinnett, and guest Josiah Jenkins. 2. Josiah Jenkins returns after about five years, and Lisa notes they last recorded trivia together in 2020 during the pandemic. 3. The episode asks which celebrity wrote each self-help book, using Amazon description blurbs and multiple-choice options. 4. The first book is The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life’s Direction and Purpose, and the choices are Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, and Viola Davis. 5. The second book is Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, described as a book with personal stories, insights, and photos from “a very public woman.” 6. The third book is Find Your Path: Honor Your Body, Fuel Your Soul, and Get Strong with the Fit 52 Life, which is tied to Carrie Underwood. 7. The fourth book is Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, which Josiah pairs with Steve Harvey. 8. The fifth book is a celebrity memoir-style title with a description about red carpets, beauty routines, life, celebrity, love for humans, and animals. 9. The final book is Before You Leap, described as advice on finances, relationships, keeping cool, staying fit, and more. 10. The format alternates between Lisa and Misty, with Josiah reading clues, giving three choices, and awarding points for correct guesses. 11. Lisa and Misty spend time joking about keyboard shortcuts, including Shift F7, Control C, Control V, Alt Tab, and Safari tab navigation. 12. Josiah mentions using Apple Music to assemble the book list and says he could not use Control-F easily. 13. Lisa and Misty discuss a typing class, a word-processing class, and the usefulness of learning Microsoft Word, Excel, and Publisher. 14. Josiah says the round has stakes, and he promises to donate $50 to the winner’s favorite local library. 15. Misty adds $3, Josiah matches $50, and Lisa notes her contribution through editing, purchasing audio equipment, and volunteering at a children’s grief camp. 16. Josiah also mentions a separate $3 donation to Wikipedia and says facts are becoming precious. 17. The tone is loose, comedic, and competitive, with interruptions, point haggling, and a few soundboard jokes. 18. The structure is a live trivia game with banter, scorekeeping, and a final donation tally at the end. 19. Listeners who like book trivia, celebrity authors, and host banter. 20. Listeners who want a tightly structured, no-detours interview.
