Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut

Andy and Dani discuss the existential crisis this book has caused Dani, would you want to know how everything in your life plays out, who would play Rumfoord in a movie, Andy keeps saying quote-unquote, Dani tries to explain science, and Titan is the perfect place for an All-Inclusive.

Andy and Dani ramble about their favorite outdoor patios, breweries, and other things. Dani graduated from keg stands of Bud Light to keg stands of Founders All Day, Andy and Dani are once again the worst Bostonians, Andy keeps making beer appointments instead of reservations, Dani just wants to make friends.

Andy and Dani read another recommendation book, The Night Swim by Megan Goldin. Andy was um... not a fan, Dani liked it for what it was, what does Rachel bring to the table, it always comes back to The Da Vinci Code, Andy and Dani come up with another great band name, and what’s up with the nightingale?

Andy and Dani talk about fan theories especially about the ones that go a little too far. First and foremost SPOILER ALERT, of course, we talk about GoT, is LOST the original fan theory show, Dani reads “well-known” ridiculous fan theories that Andy has a lot to say about.

Andy and Dani read A Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh which was neither restful nor relaxing. Andy’s recommendation gets trashed, Dani can’t spell, is this book its own art installation, did Andy and Dani just not get the point, will they ever recover from reading this?

*Tigger warning: Self-harm and addiction throughout this book*

Andy and Dani talk about their favorite places to travel. Dani’s Dad got staph at a funhouse in Paris, Andy ships Montreal, watch out for the man with street snakes, Andy and Dani both did country reports on Botswana, and what’s the difference between traveling and vacation?

Andy and Dani read Less by Andrew Sean Greer. Once again Andy and Dani are emotionally ruined, is Andy the main character of his life, Dani has another existential crisis, which character would you want to marry, and they might just have to read the next Bared to You.

Andy and Dani debate best secondary characters in books, tv, and movies. Boba Fett is definitely a cool guy, who would you want to go on a quest with, would The Hound be good at Catan, and who would you want to see party together?

Andy and Dani read The Mars Room by Rachel Kushner. This book is capital “H” Heavy, Andy loves luxuriating in an atmosphere, Dani is forced to drink a flat G&T, bees?, and Andy and Dani realize they MUST read something happy next.

Andy and Dani watch and talk about The Little Drummer Girl. Dani is extremely confused about most things, is it creepy to get a woman clothes for a date, a new drinking rule is established, and it comes back to musicals.
