In this episode, I read Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, and I bake Holden's Not-Phony Goddam Crumby Cake. It's... pretty crumby, not gonna lie. Spoiler alert: this book was a slog. It did inspire some actual murders, so somebody must've either really liked it, or really hated it.

Listen as I say the word "crumby" four thousand times in one episode!

Cake recipe is based on this one, from Lauren's Latest.
