Dear Uhuru: Mention of Nazis in the context of a pulp-hero type character fighting them, we mention Shia LaBeouf and how his politics suck, but since the recording, we also found out he is abusive towards women. We didn't mention that, but it's also an important reason to dislike him.

The crew reacts to Gable's story in the Grandfire. Before they get too much time to process, Jane takes the stage and tells a story about Rusalka that a stranger told her in a bar. Then Travis is compelled to enter the fire and gets compelled to do something he only very recently has grown accustomed to: tell the truth. That obviously causes trouble and our heroes are forced to hide in Dref's office.

CONTENT NOTE

Main Show: Soclian anxiety, starvation, poverty, a moment meant to criticize a rich person that flirts with fat shaming (a person who is eating during a famine is recognized as healthy by his belly,) infidelity, temptation, guilt and shame, humiliation, tragic loss

Dear Uhuru: Coming back within the next two weeks! Sorry!
