Coon hunting, American exceptionalism, and masculinity abound. The dogs are pretty great, and the quarter bag of candy. And trophies are always fun... but does there *really* have to be so much hunting??? Join Jack and Marty as they discuss that oft-assigned classic, Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls.

It's ALIVE!!! Imagine being a fly on the wall when Shelley came up with this story. Discussions of the creature's eloquence and Dr. Frankenstein's idiocy (and asshole-ery).
