The latest tape finds our documenter once again baffled by Bootstuck’s cast of interrupters, half-formed ideas, and curious definitions of everyday life.

It begins with a supposed “hat guy” sighting, quickly derailed by a newcomer who can’t open his mouth more than a finger-width. From there, the conversation slides into a burned kettle story, the philosophy of “smart ass” versus “dumb ass,” and a failed attempt to pin the label on Steven.

Dave is caught walking on a treadmill—not for health, but apparently because he refuses to buy darker clothing. He’s also hoping to whiten his teeth, though the advice he receives is to simply get a tan. Meanwhile, a mysterious strain of “poker music” plays in the background, connected to a very peculiar card game that involves shuffling but somehow keeps all the cards in place.

The main event, however, is an upcoming Bootstuck barbecue, which no one in town seems to have ever held before. Jerry prepares by licking plates clean (despite a noticeable wobble in his walk), while anticipation builds around the arrival of Barb from Yonder—who will allegedly line everyone up and ask questions. Whether this is a community gathering, a ritual, or a square dance audition remains uncertain, but the Bootstuck crew seem delighted either way.
