Today's book was suggested to us by a fan on Instagram who said, "Your schedule is probably still full but I have the book to end all terrible books. [Redacted] wrote this about her love (obsession) for Jason Mamoa and it is a mess; it's absolutely terrible." This extremely personal book of poetry rotates around the axis of Jason Momoa and takes us to many strange, sad places.
In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes discussion or mention of intense parasocial relationships, cancer/terminal illness, and big 'ol age gap relationships.
