Inside the Infiniverse | Part 1

Mookie Spitz unleashes a cynical, hyperverbal annotation of his new novel Jonnie Fazoolie & The Transfinite Reality Engine through the layers of his latest cosmic fever dream designed to enthrall readers, writers, sci-fi nerds, existential thrill-seekers, or far as this pod goes masochists who want to hear an author lose his mind about his own creation.

Expect spoilers galore here, because this show is meant for people who have read the book, are reading it, or don’t give a shit and just want to hear the author dissect his own reality-bending plot, roast his characters, and reveal how everything from Victoriana to EDM to bar tabs in Chicago infected this story.

Beyond a typical “behind the scenes,” Mookie goes full throttle into the philosophy, the bizarre math and philosophy, the dirty mechanics of writing three-line paragraphs to force his prose into vicious poetic snaps, and the darker drive of why an all-powerful consciousness would fixate on the dumbest loser in existence.

He breaks down the big arc, and how each B-title chapter sets up Jonnie's doomed hero’s journey—The Birth, The Bet, The Band, The Brand, The Boilerplate, The Blowout—and why it all ends with a cosmic faceplant that sets up even higher stakes for the rest of The Lovers Guide to the Infiniverse.

Each episode is a twisted masterclass where Mookie treats you like a captive lit class, except he’s not your pretentious Iowa MFA professor. Instead he’s the bald bastard who actually wrote the book, ranting straight into phone about why he built a universe where reality itself is on the auction block, love is the ugliest addiction, and a clueless con man named Jonnie is stalked across the multiverse by a godlike Boltzmann brain called Alice Void.

And if you’re twisted enough, you can follow along on X. where Mookie is literally tweeting out the entire novel line by line, every hour, six days a week -- because he accidentally forgot to schedule Sundays, so now it’s a theological day off featuring his weekly audio reads and latest Fazoolie updates.... 

Come for the multiverse. Stay for the bitter laughs, the reckless spoilers, and Mookie’s unfiltered philosophy on why chasing what you can’t have is the only story worth telling.
