RO-MANSPLAINING

Johnny and Nevada board the final boat of this boatey book, Adam is anxious to get to the details of the wedding and can't believe BJ Jones isn't coming back, Adam shares his dreams of an Andy Kaufman-esque performance art project, another love connection is solidified, we learn that sex is not limited to nighttime, Leslie gives Adam what he wants--a BJ Jones reunion, we say goodbye to Johnny and Nevada, we provide some strategy for our listeners who want to rate our podcast, and Adam finally listens!

Adam continues to fight the Quincy naming reality, Leslie confesses some things from her childhood, Adam tries to coin a new term, Johnny joins the high-stakes poker game on the John Hammer steamboat while Nevada is at the ballet, buttholes are back in town, Leslie impresses everyone with her extensive Star Wars and Star Trek knowledge, Adam is a natural hero, and we question the meaning of 8 to 5 odds.

Johnny begins his epic one-and-a half chapter struggle, Nevada doles out some potent sexual tonic, we invent a new podcasting format, Johnny's love is finally defined in chapter 39 of the Book of Nan, we time travel back to Adam's film school days, sometimes authors don't feel like writing parts of a story, and the best episode of solid gold quotes occurs.

Adam educates us on the "Magical Negro" trope, Old Jess gets sick, Adam's crazy re-naming of characters creates a whole new storyline, we finally get an info dump to fill in Johnny's backstory, Leslie finally gets sick of Adam's ridiculousness, faro vs. farina, celebrities look weird in real life, Leslie gets some respect for Laura Dern, Adam gives himself a point, and it's almost impossible to drive the last point of this chapter home.

Leslie has an idea for a romance novel, Adam wins "kiss your mom chicken" and grosses everyone out, another Pretty Woman connection, we discover the most-ignored erogenous zone, thanking is highly sexy, we have another un-official sponsor, we solve healthcare, Leslie needs a roux suitcase when she goes to her brother's wedding, we have a real recording of our favorite catchphrase, and Adam still has no idea who Malcolm is.

Adam makes some out-of-this-world predictions for the last few chapters, we wonder where "it" is if it's neither here nor there, Trumaine Benedict is a new character that Adam invents when he can't remember Malcolm's name, Johnny is smoking cigars and watching Nevada, Harold Stroud makes another cameo, the mechanics of cantering, and don't ever take a woman's ice cream.

Leslie tests out a new intro to help new listeners, Adam gives us a lesson on the history of Oregon, wedding planning ramps up, we learn about Miss Annabelle's fantasies about King Cassidy and Leslie's fantasies about Keanu, Adam evaluates Johnny's personal style, Kaitlyn does not want to be a guest on our show, and Leslie breaks some news about BJ Jones.

We start off on a Back to the Beach tangent, "Yeah Dawg" ascends to the next level of obnoxiousness, Adam is late for a meeting and is also awesome at acting, there's no time for a madcap night on the town, Johnny causes an astronomical phenomenon and surprises everyone, and Leslie and Johnny have a sleeping habit in common.
