We're unfortunately unable to record a new episode of TCGTE this week, so instead we're bringing you a fun episode of our Patreon series Books: The Podcast where we discuss the book Catching The Big Fish by David Lynch. We also talk a lot about drugs and how we're afraid of them.


We'll be back next week with a new episode of The Complete Guide To Everything.
