There's a lot to unpack in this episode. We start the cold open off by discussing some... incest in popular fiction. Yeah. Then we follow that up with a conversation about The Stranger by Albert Camus.
Once we get to the topic of the day, we go over the important questions you must ask yourself as a writer. This leads us into a more personal discussion about things like depression and the importance of escapism through fiction. And guess what, there's more talk after the outro!
That's right. We had to break up the cold open because it went too long, so there's some Lord of the Rings talk after the outro music.

We start the episode off with a quick character study. Then we talk about Stephen King and his totally terrifying horror story, The Jaunt.
After the cold open, we have a long conversation about the past. More specifically, some of the first books we've read, bought, and how we started our reading journeys. Then we discuss what we think the future of fiction will look like in the hands of Gen Z and the importance of used book stores.

We start the episode off with a quick conversation about J.R.R. Tolkien's writing style. Eventually, we get onto the topic of how to write a modern story using, or not using, cell phones. It's a lot more interesting topic than we first realized.

Caleb reads Brian Abbey's hilarious story, My First Kiss of Shame.
An American moves to Romania and attends a party. Things are going alright until the guest of honor shows up. To the American's surprise, that guest turns out to be Lucifer! Even more surprising, or horrifying depending on how you look at it, all the other partygoers begin lining up to take turns kissing Lucifer's anus. And pretty soon, it will be the American's turn!
