February 08, 2021 #9: How do we know if we're successful?
Jace just wants to be jacked and tan and for everyone to leave him alone. Critter finds a way to compare Nazi Germany to the emptiness of achieving goals. They both have dumb, boring uses for a magic wand.

February 02, 2021 #8: Death
Jace sees no problem with letting someone fall in love with him even if he only had 10 years to live. Critter would gladly live 500 years if he could keep that bangin' hot bod. For some reason the one thing they agree on is that losing a person you love is similar to losing a job you love.

January 29, 2021 #7: Advice sucks. Also: what sentence would we say to the world or ourselves as 10 year olds?
Critter gives the advice that giving advice is bad, and doesn't see the irony in that. Jace presents a short history of himself, most of which Critter never knew about.
