In this episode we want to introduce everyone to the works of the Sentient Pen that was birthed from an intellectual threesome between Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams and Banksy. We are, of course, talking about Hugo Award finalist Chuck Tingle. Using one of Chuck’s many masterpieces we discuss bringing food into the bedroom, sploshing and the logistics of a peanut butter man ejaculating peanut butter.
