Warning: This episode is 1000000% NSFW due to strong language and graphic old time sex descriptions. Listen to with headphones on and not in public or you may get some very dirty looks!
In this episode, we start off discussing what the new National Anthem of the United States should be. Here's a hint, we come up with the best possible choice! Then we dive hard into some nasty stuff from our temporary space station podcast studio. We read all of James Joyce's dirty, filthy, gross love letters to his at the time girlfriend and future wife. This one is a real kick in the pants!

Things get weird in this episode. Real weird. First, we discuss what it would be like if instead of becoming a werewolf, you became a Flairwolf. Yes, transforming like a werewolf but instead of a monster, you turn into Ric Flair.
We do a lot of rambling and talk about various topics. The main topic at hand is weird fiction that you should read. We also discuss Stephen King a bit and if we think he's a better short story writer or novelist. We end things by recommending some weird fiction that we've read over the years.

That's right, we have a new Book of the Month review! It's been a while since we last had one of these. In this episode, we're covering The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.
With the original hardboiled noir story starring the classic Private Investigator Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler created many of the familiar detective story tropes we all know and love. Though fairly basic compared to modern detective crime stories, The Big Sleep still holds up as a classic in the genre.
