Lynn Maleh comes back on to discuss Amy Hempel's first new book in over a decade, Sing To It. Spending too much time on social media, married men, abortion, murder, dating the same man with a different face, do writers even know what they mean? Wishing you didn't need attention, dog shelters, feeling seen. The girls read a few of the very short stories aloud.

Steve Hernandez comes on to discuss The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan which they don't get to the end. The gendering of grossness, Luis J. Gomez, Louis C.K., alcoholism, marriage, people getting cancelled, trauma, outrage, Skankfest, and then the book.

Comedian Maggie Maye comes by to discuss the podcast's first YA Novel. Serial killers, dick pics, ecstasy, death, plans to handle their dog's deaths, being a certain type of hot, how to get out of the trunk of a car, how to break zip ties, laughing too loud. Rebecca had coffee and talks too much again.

Comedian Bronston Jones comes on to discuss the novel A Confederacy of Dunces, a picaresque novel set in New Orleans that was published eleven years after the author's suicide. Rebecca has some trouble with the main character reminding of an ex-boyfriend, but they talk about the book a lot. Now including a brief synopsis by the guest for those who haven't read the book, which is probably most of you. It's an incredible book about horrible people. The book won a Pulitzer.

This episode was recorded in a car in Dallas! Hannah O'Brian of Almost a Comic productions chooses the novella The Fox by D.H. Lawrence, a woke story about gender politics at the turn of the 20th century. The masculine & feminine in all of us, intimacy, possession, not knowing you're gay, life on a farm, being lost, not knowing who you are, suicide, and how much the world has changed in 101 years.

In this episode, comic Harry Moroz drops in to talk about the book Less. And we talk about it less, than possibly any book yet. But they do talk about Twitter stalkers, how white people age faster, why you can't ride a camel between the humps, bombing so hard in an article of clothing that you can't wear it again, being a terrible gay, jobs that they've been fired from and why, and peeing in a Pringles can while yelling at someone about Hitler in France.

This episode was recorded twice, once in the West Village, once in the East. The first time it was too wild to release - and this one might be too. Billy Procida of the Manwhore Podcast comes on to discuss polyamory, gangbangs (lesbian, geriatric, and organizing) safe words, sex parties, caning, kink, communication, a love poem written to him at 15, and that one time he and Rebecca got drunk and hooked up.

On this episode, Steven Lolli of Peptalks W/ Eddie Pepitone comes on to talk about one of the few books he's ever read, Catcher in the Rye.

What's the point of lusting after someone if you don't whack off to them, unrequited love, fashion giraffes, 11 hours in a Taco Bell, fashion giraffes. Liars and why they lie. Getting sexually aroused by shitty people.

Rebecca doesn't always give the facial expression men want. Steven tells the listeners to kill themselves.
