I LOVE this episode. Comic's Book Club joins forces with Fuckbois of Literature to discuss The Great American Fuckboi, Dean Moriarty of On The Road. And pretty much every other character in the book, too. It's Rebecca's favorite book and Emily hates it. Crying at the last paragraph, an Ode to America, being from Connecticut, the guy on heroin has his shit together, did Hitler make meth? Fuckboi stories, past life memories, how Emily met her husband (it's real sweet)

Stephanie Risely, author, screenwriter, hypnotherapist and past life regression therapist joins Rebecca to discuss her memoir. The book is about the relationship she had with her husband after he died - which opened her up to channeling other guides and led her to the work she does today. Make peace with the past and forgive entirely, things aren't easy, but you can do them, the Russians bought up Hollywood, die making a difference, and most importantly, shit has to happen to you so you can write about it.

Tom Whalen comes on to discuss Julie Seabaugh's book Ringside at Roast Battle. He and Rebecca talk a lot of shit on this episode. Trauma makes you psychic, prepping an entrance, sucking a dick for a Gameboy, moving a guy's stomach to fuck, gogo dancing, brothels, illegal abortions, the dark history of the store's location, and that time Sam Kinison brought a gun to the patio. Tom rubs Nico's foot and he stretches his neck in a way he never has before.

Eva comes on to discuss her debut memoir, how to be loved, a gorgeous and artfully crafted book. Memoirs with narrative arcs, working a program of recovery, Sedona, self-talk, therapy, validation, mold, brain surgery, book tours, codependence, breakups, talking to the dead, and owning your shit. Also, humility is not humiliation. Rebecca explains 3 times how she found the book.
