Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:07

I'm sorry, what? What's up, Slut? We're back. It's a Chloe episode. We're here with the most exciting uh conclusion to my two-part series. We're back with losers part two! We got bitches! We got fucking, we got stuckin', we got things you ain't never experienced in podcast form, and I apologize for it in advance. I am Chloe.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

I'm JC.

SPEAKER_04 0:39

And we're here to blow your minds. JC, what you been reading? Outside of, you know, hearing about these wonderful books from me.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

Uh recently I read a book called The Eye of the Master by Matteo Pasquinelli. Uh-huh. Um It was it was alright. Um it was ostensibly about AI. Um, but it was I was hoping it would be kind of like a just like a straightforward critique on like AI is bad and here's all the reasons why. And they sort of do that, but like most of it is like a um it's like a critical theory piece on how like machines uh affect capital and vice versa. Um so like it was good, but kind of not what I was looking for.

SPEAKER_04 1:27

Dude, that sucks. You probably should have, I don't know, like read a description beforehand.

SPEAKER_01 1:31

I did, I did read a description beforehand.

SPEAKER_04 1:33

I'm so legitimately sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:36

What have you been reading recently?

SPEAKER_04 1:38

Okay, so I have been reading the third and final book, big book, not the novella, of the Tempting Monster series by Catherine Moon. The third one is called Sanctuary of Kings, okay? These books are I don't want to say infamous because that implies something bad. They're very popular. When I started like reading romance books, kind of like a lot of my books, I was like, let me find one, and I found this series, and it's basically like Victorian England courtesan reverse harem monster human thing. Um, the first one's mid, the second one is amazing. This one, I don't know how it's gonna go yet, but it's uh there's always like one bitch, five dudes. Out of the five dudes, at least two are by. It's interesting so far.

SPEAKER_01 2:23

That's fun.

SPEAKER_04 2:24

She's gonna fuck a dragon.

SPEAKER_01 2:25

Oh, sure.

SPEAKER_04 2:26

She mentions that the dragon's penis is as big as her head, and I'm like, oh shit, queen.

SPEAKER_01 2:30

Gross.

SPEAKER_04 2:31

I don't know how she's gonna do it.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

That's frankly too much penis.

SPEAKER_04 2:35

I don't know how she's like, mmm, his calm is pearlescent. And I was like, okay, queen, uh, it's still too much. You're gonna get like fucking blasted like a goddamn fire hose with semen. But go off, queen.

SPEAKER_03 2:47

We'll love that for you.

SPEAKER_04 2:49

I only like uh 40% of the way through, so I keep thinking about it because I don't know how it's gonna go with the the vast difference between the first one and the second one. This could really end up anywhere.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

What what did you read for this?

SPEAKER_04 3:02

You heard me talk about it. We're doing the losers part two. I do want to go ahead uh and apologize to you, JC. Last time I did this, I said that each book was 700 pages. I was talking straight out of my booty ass. Each one is like 500, 400 pages. So I guess I'm just a s I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I think.

SPEAKER_01 3:19

A liar. A liar.

SPEAKER_04 3:21

So I guess I'm just a bad, uh, a bad person. JC, do you remember where we left off with the first series uh set of these books?

SPEAKER_01 3:28

Oh Jesus.

SPEAKER_04 3:29

Um It's not been that long since we recorded. Jesus Christ!

SPEAKER_01 3:33

His dad is back. The one guy's dad is Manson's dad is back.

SPEAKER_04 3:36

Manson, yeah, that's right, okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

Um, they're all in kind of uh Oh, I'm giving like a recap.

SPEAKER_04 3:42

Yeah, give me a recap.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

Okay, uh uh Jess is a woman. Um she Nice!

SPEAKER_04 3:49

Nailed that one.

SPEAKER_01 3:50

Killed that one. Um She via a dare at a Halloween party uh in which she is dressed as a slutty angel. Um she becomes a sex slave for um four hometown D-bags in eastern Tennessee.

SPEAKER_04 4:06

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

Uh she goes back to college, she gets an architecture degree.

SPEAKER_04 4:10

She does get an architecture degree.

SPEAKER_01 4:11

She comes back home, she become she she becomes a sex slave again for the same four boys.

SPEAKER_04 4:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:19

Um because she because she fucked up their car, she has to repay with pussy.

SPEAKER_04 4:23

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 4:24

Um they they um use and abuse her holes.

SPEAKER_04 4:28

Correct.

SPEAKER_01 4:29

Um, and uh she she has to like move past her uh emotional connection to um the wealthy side of town, and um learn that these uh four um working class white boys are um kind of hot. And uh also uh the main guy Manson's dad is back. Uh they do car stuff, they do Fast and Furious style car stuff.

SPEAKER_03 4:54

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

Um And Manson's dad is back, I think.

SPEAKER_04 5:00

You got that. Um, okay, so uh JC's about right. Uh the only thing to note is that we end this on a big emotional moment with Mason Manson shit. Manson. Manson and Lucas reconciling their relationship because they are also gay dating, uh being like, we should go on a vacation. Uh and so that's how we end book one.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

Um they go on a vacation. I did forget about that.

SPEAKER_04 5:21

Yeah, they go on vacation. That's exactly where book two picks up is going on vacation.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

Wait, before you start, I'm gonna guess. Okay, they're from eastern Tennessee, which means their vacation spots are close by um Dollywood. Um just they they go to a cabin in Appalachia. Uh uh, if they're driving further out, um, either Nashville or like Myrtle Beach.

SPEAKER_04 5:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:47

Uh, or maybe the Outer Banks. Um is it any of these? Have I have I nailed it?

SPEAKER_04 5:53

It is a cabin in Appalachia. Yes, fuck! But the idea of them erotically going to Dollywood would be fucking fantastic. They're sucking and fucking in Dollywood.

SPEAKER_01 6:04

Yeah. Well, that's what Dollywood is for, is my understanding.

SPEAKER_04 6:07

I mean, it is a very erotic place. Uh Dollywood is, of course, for the bitches and hoes and sexy times.

SPEAKER_01 6:14

I've never been, but everybody I have ever met who uh goes to Dollywood kind of describes it as like a almost like a spiritual experience. Um, it sounds fine at best to me.

SPEAKER_04 6:27

I've never been to Pigeon Forge, and I'm gonna be dead ass with you right now. If you took me to Pigeon Forge, it would be grounds for a divorce. It feels it Pigeon Forge to me sounds like what Orlando is like, probably to you. Or like Hell. It feels like hell or like Atlantic City. I just I don't look. Respect to all the horrors that go there, but like I actually appreciate it, like, being able to read and like being literate.

SPEAKER_03 6:57

Alright.

SPEAKER_04 6:58

You're right, that's too far. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's because I know all I can think of is your sister and her boyfriend and her friends who go there all the time, and they're like, bro, we arrived at the cabin and we got fucking sloshed off of buzzballs, and so that's the only type of people I can think of going there is people.

SPEAKER_01 7:16

I mean, that is kind of what everybody I've ever met who describes going to Dollywood just or going to Pigeon Forge, that's how they described it. They're like, Yeah, I got there and I uh was drunk for four days straight, and then I came home.

SPEAKER_04 7:28

Also, my strong belief is you are either one type of person or the other. You either go to Pigeon Forge once because like that sounds interesting and you never go again, or you're like your sister and you go 17 times.

SPEAKER_01 7:38

I don't think she's been that many times.

SPEAKER_04 7:39

And every time is just an experience in alcoholism.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

No, no, for sure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:46

Yeah. So, uh, and let me tell you, these hometown D-bags, if they went to Dollywood, if they went to Pigeon Forge, it would be the biggest alcoholic breakdown you've ever seen.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

Oh, absolutely. So so they go to a cabin.

SPEAKER_04 7:58

Okay, thank you for letting me start. Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 8:00

You're welcome. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04 8:02

Eh, okay, let's get going. Okay. They go to the cabin. The cabin is owned by Daniel, which is, of course, in case we forgot, Manson's caseworker's son.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

Oh, okay. Yes, I do remember this.

SPEAKER_04 8:15

Uh, they go up there, everyone. I'm gonna I'm gonna, as JC likes to say, I'm gonna yada yada this section. This section is like easily 30-40% of the book.

SPEAKER_01 8:24

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 8:26

You don't need to know everything that happens. Uh, some key points. They fuck a lot.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 8:30

Uh there's butt stuff, there's toe stuff, there's rope stuff, there's a lot of nasty shit happening. Um, there are some key points I'd really like to touch on that truly make me go, are you okay, bitch? One, a lot of continual health and safety practices that they really just do that makes me think someone's gonna die.

SPEAKER_01 8:49

Um Wait, like what?

SPEAKER_04 8:51

I'm getting there.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

Oh, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04 8:52

Okay. So we remember the boot stuff.

SPEAKER_01 8:56

Yes. She kisses his boots.

SPEAKER_04 8:58

This she does again. Only this time she's like licking up on his shoe and like rubbing her pussy up on his shoe, and she's like, she's like, it tastes like shoe polish. So I'm like, girl, that is poison.

SPEAKER_01 9:08

Yeah, that's that sounds bad.

SPEAKER_04 9:09

That's poison. You're you're putting so much poison in your mucous membranes. Uh, number two, they go jumping into a lake in Appalachia and they start like, they do it naked, fine, whatever. They start spitting lake water at each other.

SPEAKER_01 9:22

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 9:22

I'm like, do not put lake water in your mouth.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

No, this is fine.

SPEAKER_04 9:26

No, this is not fine!

SPEAKER_01 9:28

I did this with my friends at the lake.

SPEAKER_04 9:29

That's why you have autism.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

Well, no. You caught the autism from the lake. From the lake water.

SPEAKER_04 9:34

It's not it's not Tylenol like we thought. It's nasty ass bacteria like lake.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

Sprows lake water.

SPEAKER_04 9:39

Anyway, another thing she does is um there's like talk about how they're all sweaty because it's like hot and shit, and they're like walking through the forest, and then they start fucking. Cool, whatever. Um, in the middle of fucking, Manson grabs his nasty, sweaty poo-poo and ball panties and shoves it into her mouth.

SPEAKER_02 9:56

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 9:56

That's disgusting! Hell yeah. That's so nasty. I I was gagged. I was and I was gagging.

SPEAKER_01 10:05

And so was she.

SPEAKER_04 10:05

And so was she. Um, so those are the big health and safety shit that happens on this trip that I'm just like, this is way too much.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 10:12

Um shut up. During this trip, this 30% of the book, the boys also keep like reinforcing how much they love each other. Like they're just casually like, Manton, I love you, bro. And he's like, Lucas, I love you, bro. And then Lucas is like, Jason. Jason is, I love you. And Jason's like, oh my god, I love you too, Lucas, and I love Vincent. Like, there's just like a lot of love happening. It's very much trying to like be like, no, you don't get it, they love each other, and like, cool, I get it. Um, there's also a really interesting uh like interpoly relationship happening. What? Remember how I talked about how like uh there's two couples, like uh Lucas and Manson and Vincent and Jason?

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 10:53

And never shall the two cross.

SPEAKER_01 10:55

They don't cross streams.

SPEAKER_04 10:56

They cross streams. They cross streams.

SPEAKER_01 10:58

Just like at the end of Ghostbusters.

SPEAKER_04 11:00

Just like at the end of Ghostbusters. Uh Manson, nope. Lucas, I'm gonna try so hard not to confuse these guys, but they're whatever. Uh Lucas and Jason start getting big flirty vibes.

SPEAKER_03 11:13

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 11:13

Uh they cuddle, they're kind of like teasing each other, there's lots of tension. Uh they go on like this big jog together, cute, whatever. Uh Jason's like a big gym guy. Okay. Uh, cute, whatever, they like end up holding hands and like whatever. But during this jog, Jason's like fitted up to jog, right?

SPEAKER_01 11:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 11:31

I want you to guess what Lucas is wearing jogging.

SPEAKER_01 11:33

Which one is Lucas?

SPEAKER_04 11:34

Lucas is the the emotional.

SPEAKER_01 11:36

Like, what's it what's oh, is he okay. Ooh, emo goth. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 11:39

He's the emo goth me boy.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

Is it uh is it like a zip-up hoodie and uh like skinny jeans?

SPEAKER_04 11:45

Yes!

SPEAKER_01 11:48

I'm nailing this.

SPEAKER_04 11:49

He's like running in jeans, and I'm like, what the fuck? But like, hey, go off. Um during this like cute moment we get a flashback from uh Lucas about the day that like Jason left his parents' house, because of course Jason's family was very religious as he grew up.

SPEAKER_01 12:03

Oh yes. So they're like scenario. He's the one that's openly bisexual.

SPEAKER_04 12:06

Yes, with the blue hair. He's he's um short ninja.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

Yeah, he's he's he's small ninja.

SPEAKER_04 12:11

He's he's small ninja.

SPEAKER_00 12:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:14

Um so as they're sitting there like holding hands and um Lucas is sweating in his skinny jeans.

SPEAKER_03 12:19

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 12:20

Um he's like, I remember back when you like left your parents' house, and he talks about how uh like he has this big introspective moment where he's watching Jason like go through this very intense like loss of family and like shave his hair and get a tattoo and shit. And Lucas is like, you know, me and the boys are like so tough, and like we have to be warriors to deal with these things and the cruelty the world gives us. But that's not what we should have to do uh because they shouldn't need their inner strength because they were just children when they were forced to become like hardened and like this hyper masculine version of themselves that they don't necessarily want to be. I like that because I think that this book in particular is very much like leaning into like the hyper masculine, like manly type shit. Like the the uh I don't want to say over sexualization, but just like very manly shit. And the fact that there is this very intense moment of like, hey, these characters are really manly and intense and and strong, but like that's not something they should have to be. And I was like, nice, that was a solid little like, hey, disclaimer, this is not like a ideal of what a man should be, either for men who would be reading this, if so, go off kings, or women reading this who would be like, oh my man like that. Like, that's not necessarily a good thing. Okay. So with that, we end the first 30% of the book.

SPEAKER_02 13:42

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 13:44

Um, after that they go back to town. Uh Jess is in her feels, Jess is like, haha, this isn't so much fun. I don't want to go back to town and think about life, but whatever.

SPEAKER_01 13:55

That's relatable. Go on vacation and you have to like the the last day of your vacation when you're like cleaning out the Airbnb. You're like, fuck, I have to like go do work again.

SPEAKER_04 14:05

Yeah, I get it, girl.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

Wait, what is her normal life that she's like, oh man, because she like doesn't have a job.

SPEAKER_04 14:11

She's an intern. She has she has like a part-time job.

SPEAKER_01 14:13

At where?

SPEAKER_04 14:14

Uh she remote works for an architect. She remote works for an architectural firm.

SPEAKER_01 14:21

She's a remote intern?

SPEAKER_04 14:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

I get I I was a remote intern when I was in college.

SPEAKER_04 14:26

Yeah, exactly. Shut the fuck up. It's a thing. It's a remote.

SPEAKER_01 14:29

Although my internship was uh my my my job was looking up articles and linking them in a sheet for the president of an organization while he was working on his PhD. So it was basically like he was working on his PhD, and then I was finding the articles that he could cite for his thesis.

SPEAKER_04 14:48

That doesn't sound like an internship so much as it does like a bully using you for homework again.

SPEAKER_01 14:54

That's alright. That's fine. Um I got college credit.

SPEAKER_04 14:57

I mean, so she has a job, she lives with her shitty mom. Also, they're going back to the town where his like Manson's dad is like actively menacing them. Like, there is a reason why she'd be like, I don't think I want to go back. Like, you did mention four times that his dad is back. Also, if the dad is back and menacing them. Um, so that's chill. Um, on the way home, they stop at Vincent's house, his parents' house. And remember, Vincent is the only one who has like a good family life, right? Like, he's like got good shit going on. Um, this he has four sisters that all run out to see them, and the girls all know about the guys, so they're like, Oh, oh my god, it's like Uncle Jason and Uncle Lucas, and like these girls? They range from like five to sixteen.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

Okay, they're like children.

SPEAKER_04 15:44

They're like children.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

Okay, I thought you meant like he had like adult sisters.

SPEAKER_04 15:48

No, no, no, no, no. They're all like they're all like children. Uh Vincent's the oldest. Anyway, so they're all like excited to see everyone, and it like very clear that like the whole family knows about this polycule, and like they're really happy about it, I guess. And like they're all like close to all these people. Um Vincent's mom and dad are there, and they're really nice to Jess, and they're like, oh my god, we've heard so much about you. Uh, she's wonderful, she makes all of you so happy. They're just like really supportive of the poly thing. I guess that's cool because remember, Vincent's parents are poly. Um, cool, weird vibes. I don't like it, but hey, I'm not the one judging it. Um there's like a long section going over how Vincent's uh home is like very uh eclectic, and like the staircase railing is like hand-carved wood that the dad did, and there's like childhood drawings everywhere, and everything's handmade. And the whole time I'm reading this and I'm like, oh shit, I should do hand-carved railing for the house. I'm not saying I want our house to be like a polycule house, but I want people to walk in and see how eclect it is and be like they could be.

SPEAKER_01 16:49

We could be a polycule too.

SPEAKER_04 16:50

We could be a polycule because our vibes are so awesome.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 16:55

That's the vibe I want. Um they have lots of chit-chat, it's all cute and shit, everyone is really good friends with everyone. Uh Vincent takes Jess up to his old bedroom and she's like looking out over the lawn as everyone's like playing with the kids and like everyone's having a great time. And she's like, Oh my god, we should take another trip. And Vincent's like, Oh my god, to where? And she's like, What about New York? And uh Vincent's like, That sounds awesome, we should do that later. And she's like, Later? And he's like, Yeah, of course. And she's like, You would really do that for me? He's like, I would do anything for you, baby girl.

SPEAKER_02 17:29

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 17:30

Uh, because he's in his feels.

SPEAKER_02 17:31

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:32

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so they dropped us off at home and they go back home to their house, their like weird little house with the poly the polycule home.

SPEAKER_01 17:42

The the poly house.

SPEAKER_04 17:43

Uh the boys roll up to the poly house and they realize like as soon as they get home, like Manson's dad has been staying here while they were gone.

SPEAKER_03 17:50

What?

SPEAKER_04 17:51

Yeah. He was like smoking on the porch, like putting his cigarettes out on the porch. Hell yeah. And he's like intentionally staring at all the security cameras like they have, trying to menace the Minuce?

SPEAKER_00 18:01

Menace.

SPEAKER_04 18:02

Thank you. Menace, fuck, whatever. Uh through the security cameras that Jason has set up, kind of like a a spooky haunted video game, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 18:11

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04 18:12

Uh everyone's like super pissed off. Um and Manson is so upset and so on edge by his dad being at the house. He's like, I'm gonna sleep downstairs tonight in case he shows up again. And the boys are like, We can't leave you alone, Manson. So they all end up cuddling together and sleeping together on the couch.

SPEAKER_01 18:31

Yeah, sure. On the couch?

SPEAKER_04 18:33

On the couch! They have a big L-shaped couch, so they're all like holding feet and lay-I don't know what's going on there, but like it's cute that like they're supporting each other.

SPEAKER_01 18:42

Couch boy puddle.

SPEAKER_04 18:43

Couch boy puddle.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

Wait, where's Jess?

SPEAKER_04 18:45

Jess is back at her house.

SPEAKER_01 18:46

Oh, she's at her house. I thought, does she not live there?

SPEAKER_04 18:49

No, she lives with her mom and her her dad and her sister.

SPEAKER_01 18:51

Oh.

SPEAKER_04 18:52

In the nice house she grew up in, not in this ragtag hometown D-bag cigarette-filled house.

SPEAKER_01 18:58

Commuting to my polycule.

SPEAKER_04 19:01

I'm part-time polycule. Shut up.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Yeah, I'm getting on the tra on the commuter rail for my polycule.

SPEAKER_04 19:06

Oh my god, my fucking trained and my polycule got delayed. I'm gonna be late to the orgy again. Um, back at Jess's house, meanwhile, thank you for that transition, Nancy.

SPEAKER_00 19:16

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_04 19:17

Uh back at the house, the mom is super like weird around Jess. She's like, How was your trip? Because Jess told her mom that she was hanging out with all the cheerleaders this weekend and they went on a trip to the cheerleaders. Uh, and the mom's like, I know you fucking didn't though, because I ran into the cheerleader girls and said, Oh, aren't you supposed to be with Jess this weekend? And they were really weird about it. So I know you were hanging out with those freaks, and you're a lying little slut. Um, and Jess is like, whatever, like you're being a bitch, mom. And the mom's like, Well, I don't want you hanging out with those freaks, so don't worry. I set up a date for you with a very nice boy of a friend of a friend.

SPEAKER_01 19:48

Okay. This is always funny.

SPEAKER_04 19:50

Yeah. Jess gets so fucking pissed about it.

SPEAKER_01 19:52

Yes, for sure.

SPEAKER_04 19:53

She calls Vincent to come get her, because of course she doesn't have a car right now. And he comes and takes her to the polycule. Um, she's like, I can't believe my mom fucking did this. And Manton's like, uh, what if you did go on the state, though? And she's like, what the fuck? And he goes, What if you go on the state, but you and I have a bit of fun during it.

SPEAKER_01 20:11

What?

SPEAKER_04 20:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:12

I thought I thought it was gonna be kind of like a like a recruitment thing. Like she goes on the date. They just have like a they're they're like doing active recruiting for the polycule, like Scientology.

SPEAKER_04 20:23

Oh my god! What would you say your vibe is? You have three places you can go first. Pussymouth, but which one that was a callback to naughty boy.

SPEAKER_02 20:32

How do you open?

SPEAKER_04 20:34

Callback to Naughty Boy, in case you couldn't tell. Um Yeah, she goes on this fucking date. Uh it's to a really nice restaurant.

SPEAKER_02 20:42

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:43

Uh, and Manson's there. Manson's wearing a suit. Uh he's like worried about money all the time, but he's at this really fancy restaurant and he like keeps ordering like really nice whiskey on the rocks, like at the bar.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 20:56

I thought you were watching your money, Manson, but whatever. That's fine, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 21:01

Wow.

SPEAKER_04 21:02

Um Manson's pissed as fuck because this guy is.

SPEAKER_01 21:08

Because he can't pay for the whiskey and pussy. He's like, oh fuck. I thought that was a currency everybody accepted.

SPEAKER_04 21:14

What if I offered you my pussy? Would that perhaps translate well?

SPEAKER_01 21:17

He's trying to he's like slowly sliding his bare ass across the floor.

SPEAKER_04 21:22

Tip you in butthole. Um, okay. Shut up, you're distracting me. Um, Manson is pissed as fuck about this date, not because Jess is on it, but because the guy Jess is with is clearly not listening to her.

SPEAKER_01 21:36

Sure.

SPEAKER_04 21:37

Um he's like He's kind of a bad guy. He's a bad guy. He's like wealthy and annoying, and he like won't stop talking about his own car. And of course, Manson's like, your car's not even good.

SPEAKER_01 21:45

His car's not even good. Uh what kind of car is it?

SPEAKER_04 21:47

I don't know. I don't remember. They we don't get details on.

SPEAKER_01 21:49

You didn't you didn't write down the breed of car?

SPEAKER_04 21:52

No, I didn't write down the breed of car.

SPEAKER_01 21:53

The species and genus.

SPEAKER_04 21:55

The Latin name. No, I didn't. Um No, I didn't. Uh, but like He's like, Jess is like, I want to get some white wine. He's like, White wine is bad. You should be drinking red wine. It's it's so much better. And this literally sends Manson into like a rage because he's like, he's not even listening to her.

SPEAKER_01 22:10

She knows her wine.

SPEAKER_04 22:12

Which, um, okay. I don't like white wine, so I'm on this guy's side, but I know.

SPEAKER_01 22:17

Well, what did she eat? Did it pair well?

SPEAKER_04 22:19

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

Maybe maybe maybe she got like the fish and and she or maybe she got like a steak and she was like, I think we're gonna go with like a with like a sweet white wine for this, and he was like, No!

SPEAKER_04 22:30

The Moscato.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

SPEAKER_04 22:32

Yeah, he's just trying to be helpful.

SPEAKER_01 22:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:34

Um, throughout this date, uh, Manson and Jess sneak off to the public bathroom in this restaurant. Sucky and fucky.

SPEAKER_02 22:43

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 22:44

Um whatever. They do it like three. They do it like three times. And I guess at like the end of the date, while this guy's waiting for his car to pull up, Jess has already ordered an Uber, and instead of him driving him back home, she's gonna take this Uber home, and she's like yelling at this guy as he's waiting for his fucking car, being like, You're a bitch, and you didn't listen to me and another thing, which is like not you going hard at this guy in the middle of your fucking small town, but She's she's wait, she's called an Uber? Yeah, she called an Uber.

SPEAKER_04 23:27

No, because Manson's like, you should call an Uber and go home. And she's like Manson? Where's your car?

SPEAKER_01 23:32

Well, because He's been drinking whiskey, he's been drinking too many whiskey on the rocks, and he's learning that he's learning in the moment that they do not accept pussy.

SPEAKER_04 23:41

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 23:41

Y'all accept pussy here? It's like discover. You want to discover this pussy.

SPEAKER_04 23:47

Edward Cullen style. And she's like, What are you doing here? He's like, Come with me. And they go into her walk-in closet.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 24:07

And in her walk-in closet, Manson set up like a special date for them. Uh, he's like got a little box with a tablecloth over it, like a little candle, and like white wine that she wanted from the menu.

SPEAKER_01 24:17

Nice. Cute.

SPEAKER_04 24:19

He brought her cake.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

He's like, who cares that this doesn't bring out the notes and the steak you ordered?

SPEAKER_04 24:24

He got her like cake because he was like, you were so angry with this guy, you didn't even get to order dessert, so like I knew you wanted it, so I like brought you some. Um honestly, it's really cute.

SPEAKER_02 24:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 24:35

I hate to say it. Um, during this little closet date, uh, Manson is like, hey girl, like, I just want you to know um that like I love you.

SPEAKER_03 24:47

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 24:47

I know, right? And I don't want you to leave uh once you pay off your debt, because it was never really about the money. Uh it was always just about being around you. And um Can she pay off her debt? With pussy? I don't know. Yes, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

What's the interest rate on the put what's the APR on that? You you kind of just have to hope that like the pussy system will crash.

SPEAKER_04 25:11

JC, I'm trying to get this romantic moment and you keep riffing, bro.

SPEAKER_00 25:16

Alright, no more riffing.

SPEAKER_04 25:17

No more riffing. JC's not allowed to be funny for a little bit. Um, anyway, he's like, it was never about the money, it was always about you. I've loved you since the day I met you, and I love you now, and I'll always love you. And she goes to like say something back, and he like puts like a hand over her mouth and is like, Shh, I want you to think about it before you say anything. And so he's literally like, You're not allowed to say you love me back.

SPEAKER_01 25:37

That's pretty funny. I love you, don't you dare say it back.

SPEAKER_04 25:41

And then he like parkours out of her window.

unknown 25:44

That's even better.

SPEAKER_01 25:45

I I love you. Bye.

SPEAKER_04 25:46

Yeah, I love you.

SPEAKER_01 25:47

Mary Jess from Gilmore Girls.

SPEAKER_04 25:49

Oh my god. Timely reference from like 20 years ago.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

Yeah, like 2004.

SPEAKER_04 25:56

Right, okay. The next day, I guess malls aren't dead in this town.

SPEAKER_00 26:04

No, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_04 26:05

Because do you remember the girly pop that worked at the sex shop that her and Vincent went to in the first book?

SPEAKER_01 26:10

Yes, I do remember this.

SPEAKER_04 26:11

She goes to the mall with that girly pop.

SPEAKER_01 26:13

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 26:13

And the girly pop and her are walking around. She's like, How are things going with the boys? And just like Wait, does she know that girl? Yes, they're friends.

SPEAKER_01 26:19

They're friends?

SPEAKER_04 26:20

They're friends now.

SPEAKER_01 26:21

Oh, they're oh, since they've met.

SPEAKER_04 26:23

Since they met.

SPEAKER_01 26:24

Why? Who is this girl to Vince?

SPEAKER_04 26:27

Uh a friend, I guess, because he likes to freak with the sex shop.

SPEAKER_01 26:31

I the this book is um the retail worker likes you propaganda. No, they don't, they have to say they have to act like that.

SPEAKER_04 26:39

So yeah, Jess and this girl are out at the mall, and this girl's like, how's it going with the boys? And Jess's like, it's going good. She goes, Yeah, I can tell because Lucas is over there. And I guess Lucas has been stalking them through the mall to make sure Jess is safe.

SPEAKER_02 26:49

Oh, sure.

SPEAKER_04 26:50

And yeah, the girl from the sex shop like just spotted him and was like, Come over here, you're being fucking weird. It'll be easier to like protect her over here than like hiding in the bush.

SPEAKER_01 26:59

He's dressed like an undercover FBI H. He has like the he has like the backwards baseball cop. Like the you can like see his bulletproof vest through his tight shirt.

SPEAKER_04 27:09

He keeps grabbing his boots.

SPEAKER_01 27:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:12

Okay. So Julie's like, you know what, I have to go grab some things, like, I'll meet up with you later. Um, and so he, he being Lucas, and Jess goes shopping at the mall, and he's like, I want to hold your purse. Like, let me hold your purse for you, let me hold your bags like you don't have to do anything, I'll carry everything. Cute. Very cute. Um, he buys her lingerie uh because he keeps fucking uh like destroying her panties with a knife, right? They love to cut off panties with that little fuzzy knife Manson has.

SPEAKER_01 27:37

What?

SPEAKER_04 27:38

Yeah, you know what this Manson's got a knife thing.

SPEAKER_01 27:40

No, I know he has a knife thing. You didn't say he was they were like slashing her panties.

SPEAKER_04 27:44

They slash a lot of clothes, a lot of panties.

SPEAKER_01 27:47

That like adds up.

SPEAKER_04 27:48

And they don't got the money to pay for shit.

SPEAKER_01 27:50

She's not got the money to pay for that, and the lingerie store presumably does also does not accept that.

SPEAKER_04 27:55

Oh my god. Your bit's dead, bro!

SPEAKER_01 27:58

Right. It's dead now.

SPEAKER_04 28:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 28:03

I won't do it again. Liar.

SPEAKER_04 28:04

Okay, so he takes her shopping for lingerie, and then um, I didn't mention it because it wasn't an important detail. Okay. Uh, but when he and Manson snuck into her house to fuck her in the first book, he like took a really nice lipstick from Mac and was like writing on the mirrors, and she's like, You want me a new one? Um, so they go to Mac to go get her a replacement lipstick here.

SPEAKER_02 28:22

That's nice. That's nice of him.

SPEAKER_04 28:24

It was nice. Um, but at Mac, she runs into the old friends she had, the cheerleader friends that were really mean to her. Yes. And they're like loudly, these cheerleader friends are loudly being like, I didn't know that they let people like that in here. It's really going downhill in this town. I'm sure that they I don't even know how they let him in here, like he just steals everything. Because like Lucas' family is like known for like being kind of run down and tacky. Because Lucas's brother like killed someone and like is in jail in jail since he was like 16 years old. Um, so yeah, they're kind Lucas is known for being a piece of shit.

SPEAKER_01 29:00

Um It is funny to be like in Eastern Tennessee, being like, oh like I I guess this town's going downhill. It's like, yeah, since like the 70s.

SPEAKER_04 29:09

Yeah, this town is this town is at the bottom of the hill. Uh there's nowhere to go lower unless you guys start doing some mining to keep going down. Um also like you're a cheerleader in like a small eastern Tennessee town. I don't know why you're acting like you're a big fish bitch. You are like a guppy in a puddle. Like you're not you're not serving the way you think you're serving. Let's just put it that way.

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Girl, you're posting uh photos of yourself being pregnant at 19 for 19 likes.

SPEAKER_04 29:39

Oh! She's out here smoking her cigarettes while she's pregnant, being like, it don't affect the baby then. Oh my god. Devastating. Okay. So they like get all bitchy, and when um Jess and Lucas leave the store, the security alarm goes off. And because Lucas is known in the town and everyone kind of fucking hates him, the security guard rolls up and starts like pushing him around and calls for like police backup, because of course, as we know, security at malls ain't shit.

SPEAKER_01 30:07

Yeah, just immediately starts reaching around in his butthole.

SPEAKER_04 30:09

Yeah, well, he would like it too much. Um, so they call in like an officer to like figure it out, and they take and they cuff the security guard, cuffs Lucas and takes him to like the security office. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Jess has to be like, just just go do what he says. Like, I'm sorry. Like, don't don't punch the guy. He's got his hand on his little taser already, and that would be really annoying.

SPEAKER_01 30:30

Please don't hit him, short ninja.

SPEAKER_04 30:32

No, this is Lucas. Lucas is tall.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

Lucas is tall?

SPEAKER_04 30:35

Lucas is tall.

SPEAKER_01 30:36

Who's short ninja?

SPEAKER_04 30:37

Jason.

SPEAKER_01 30:38

I thought that was uh I I can't keep these together straight. Keep going, cut this out. Cut this out. I don't know who these people are.

SPEAKER_04 30:45

No. Okay, so she goes to the security office with Lucas, and Lucas is like, you can leave. Like, you don't have to stay here with me. And uh Jess is like, fuck that, I'm gonna stay here. Uh and she goes full carrot on this guy. She's like, This is bullshit, like those people set us up. Like, why would I pay for everything and steal just one thing? Why would he steal it? He was holding my purse. Do you think I put it in there? Do you think he put it in my purse? That would be insane. She's like, pull up the cameras, and the guy's like, No, I can't. And she starts going, if you don't fucking let us go, I'm gonna call my lawyer. This is absurd. She uses white woman power.

SPEAKER_02 31:20

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:20

Um, and she starts going full Karen. Um, eventually the guy admits that like they did see the girls plant this on Lucas, so it's not Lucas's fault, and they're like, sorry about that, lol, bye. They're free, I guess. Uh, Lucas and Jess get in Lucas's car to go home. And Lucas Lucas is so angry, he starts racing down the highway, and he's speeding, he's swerving, and he's he's driving on the shoulder, and he's driving too dangerously. Nice. And Jess is like, no, you're too upset, you need to pull over. And he's like, I'm fine, and just like no, pull over. Um So he does. Good for him. He listens to women. Um, and he's like, I'm just like, I'm so wound up and I don't know what to do, and I have so much rage in me, and she's like, I know. And he's like, usually Hell yes. Usually Manson would dom me to help me get out this energy.

SPEAKER_02 32:17

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_04 32:18

Um Jess is like, Bet. So she doms the shit out of this dude. Uh she's like calling him a freak.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:30

She's like spitting on him.

SPEAKER_02 32:32

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 32:32

She's like, you're a nasty little bitch.

SPEAKER_02 32:34

Yep, you gotta do that.

SPEAKER_04 32:35

Um and he like loses it, and he like pounds her shit in as she's like laid out on the back of the Camino, because remember he is the El Camino.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

Oh, okay. This is the El Camino guy.

SPEAKER_04 32:43

It's the El Camino guy.

SPEAKER_01 32:44

Hell yes.

SPEAKER_04 32:45

Uh, and then after they bone, he's like, Why do you like me? Like, I'm so weird. She goes, No, you're wonderful, and he's like, uh, no, I'm weird and gross and nasty. She goes, No, I want you, and you're very handsome, and I'm sorry I bullied you in school and called you mean names, even though he was expelled at 16, of course.

SPEAKER_02 33:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 33:01

She only got a few years of bullying in before he was pulled from the system. Um, and then we get like a cute little backstory as they're cuddling there about how when Jess and uh Lucas were in school together for a handful of years, Lucas went to like the parent teacher conference because there was free food there and he needed to put the food because his dad was dead and he had no money.

SPEAKER_01 33:23

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_04 33:24

Um, and he noticed that like Jess's mom and Jess were dressed as twinsies, and like we're talking to this teacher that Jess kept having like failing grades in his class, and Jess's mom was kind of like trying to pimp her out, being like, Well, if you could help her like after class, I'm sure she'd like really appreciate it. And this teacher kept like grabbing Jess to be like, I'd love to help her after class. Gross. And for s I agree. And for some reason this gets Lucas super fucking upset, and so he like waits till the end of like student teacher uh like conferences are done. He's like hiding in the parking lot, and he like keeps uh uh like a shistie on him or something in his car.

SPEAKER_01 34:05

Not the shisty.

SPEAKER_04 34:06

And he like puts it on and he like sneaks up, he like keys the teacher's car, he like cuts the tires, he like breaks some windows, and he's hiding, waiting for the teacher to come out in his little shistie, and he grabs the teacher and puts a knife to his neck from behind him. These guys love a knife, they love a fucking knife, and he's like talking to this teacher, and he's like, You're a fucking freak, like how dare you touch Jess like that! Like, I know what you're thinking about, like I know what a fucking weirdo you are. And the teacher for some reason is like, Oh my god, is this Kyle, which is Jess's boyfriend at the time, and Lucas is like Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:40

100%, 1000%, it's me, Kyle. What's up? What's up, it's me, Kyle.

SPEAKER_04 34:44

And he's like, You need to fucking leave this school, or I'm gonna tell everyone what a freak you are. I know what you've done, and you're you're awful and nasty, and you should uh leave.

SPEAKER_02 34:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:51

Uh and the teacher does leave. And the story's to kind of imply that Lucas, even through like being kind of a bitch and evil, like knew that Jessica's mom wouldn't save her if she was like assaulted by a teacher, and so he went out of his way to save her from being assaulted.

SPEAKER_01 35:05

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:07

I guess.

SPEAKER_01 35:08

Direct action. Um That's community building.

SPEAKER_04 35:13

Community building. I guess, Jesus Christ, I mean like it's sure.

SPEAKER_01 35:18

Beat up your perv teachers.

SPEAKER_04 35:20

Threaten them with a knife, keep the shyisty on you.

SPEAKER_01 35:23

Yeah, I keep that thing on me.

SPEAKER_04 35:24

God, okay. Back at home, uh, Vincent and Jason are hanging out in their room, and Vincent looks over. Vincent's the stoner, JC, since you can't tell who is.

SPEAKER_01 35:33

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 35:35

Jason, Jason is compressed ninja. Um, Vincent and Jason are back in the room. Vincent catches Jason like looking at houses in New York State, and Vincent's like, oh, like, what's up? Why are you doing that? And Jason's like, well, like, I know Jess is gonna get this full-time job from her uh internship, and I don't want to leave her, so I think we should move up there. And Vincent's like, I totally agree. Um, they go downstairs and there's this guy in their garage named Dante. What? Okay, calm down, I'll explain it. Dante is a racer in town, and Dante was Manson and Lucas's first client at their custom street racing garage.

SPEAKER_01 36:17

Hell yes.

SPEAKER_04 36:18

Um, and Dante's down there hanging out, shit-chatting with the boys.

SPEAKER_01 36:22

Dante's a good street racer name.

SPEAKER_04 36:23

I know, right? Uh Lucas drives up with Jess and Toe, of course, and he's like, Oh shit, Dante's here. And Dante's like, I gotta say some shit, you should send that bitch inside. And so they're like, Jess, can you go check on Jason? Uh sending her away, like the delicate little woman she is.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

For sure.

SPEAKER_04 36:40

Um, Dante's like, and so it's just uh Dante, Vincent, Manson, and Lucas. And Dante's like, hey, uh, you know there's this big street race this weekend, and they're like, Yeah, we're gonna go. And Dante's like, I don't know if you should. Uh there's talk on the streets that people are like trying to kill you guys. And they're like, Yeah, we know. People have been trying to kill us. And Dante's like, oh, uh, okay. Um, and it's just like, sure. Uh, and uh the boys are like, We're gonna go regardless. And Dante's like, well, you probably shouldn't bring like that little lady, and they're like, fuck it, we're gonna bring her because we would never leave her behind. We're a whole crew, we go everywhere together.

SPEAKER_01 37:21

Yeah, she's she's our lady.

SPEAKER_04 37:23

Yeah. Uh except for the fact that Vincent and Jason aren't gonna be at this race because Vincent has to go into town to work at the bar he works at, which is like 70 miles away, and he stays at a friend's house. Well, sure.

SPEAKER_01 37:35

Um, so there's sure there are closer bars.

SPEAKER_04 37:37

My god, I fucking know. So I guess at this race is just going to be Lucas and Jess and Manson, and they're like, fuck it, we're still gonna go. Like, it doesn't matter that uh Vincent and Jason aren't gonna be with us, like we can protect her. Which is hysterical because for the past uh like 600 pages at this point in time, the message that the boys keep saying is as long as all of us are together, we can take anything. It's only when we're split up that we're in danger.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

We're family. No, I get it.

SPEAKER_04 38:02

Yeah, but the thing is now they're gonna be split up and they're like, no, we can totally take on someone trying to kill us. Uh doesn't make sense, but whatever.

SPEAKER_03 38:08

Whatever.

SPEAKER_04 38:09

Um, we end the chapter with this super cringe thought from Vincent where he's like, This is going too far if they're actively trying to kill us at races. This needs to end, and that means someone's gonna need to get hurt.

SPEAKER_01 38:22

Hell yes. Hell yes, it does mean that. So Also, like, yeah, presumably they're trying to kill you or something.

SPEAKER_04 38:29

Yeah, someone's gonna get hurt, but it seems like it's gonna be you guys.

SPEAKER_01 38:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 38:33

Um, they go to the race. Remember? Vincent and Jason are not there. Yes. They're God knows where, somewhere else in Tennessee. Um, the race is a sideshow. Those are big in Oakland, not that you would know, because you're from the East Coast in the south, and I'm from Cali Baby.

SPEAKER_01 38:49

Cali baby.

SPEAKER_04 38:50

I know what a sideshow is. Have you ever been to a sideshow?

SPEAKER_01 38:53

Isn't that they just do like the they they um put the car in circles and and do stuff like that.

SPEAKER_04 38:58

God, you're so country.

SPEAKER_01 38:59

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 39:00

That's cute. And they also do like drag racing and shit. Oh. Um, anyway, so stay with me. This is gonna be kind of a crazy contest.

SPEAKER_02 39:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 39:08

They're in small town Tennessee.

SPEAKER_02 39:09

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 39:10

This town is out it's outside of city limits.

SPEAKER_01 39:12

Okay. I don't know if Near Knoxville.

SPEAKER_04 39:15

I guess.

SPEAKER_01 39:16

I assume.

SPEAKER_04 39:17

Uh, they're in rural Tennessee. It's outside of the town that they live in. Okay. City limits. It's a small, small town that nobody knows about, but apparently this race has gotten enough attention that people are nationally driving in to this small town to do this race.

SPEAKER_01 39:32

Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_04 39:32

Uh it's in like an abandoned parking lot near like a fucking Kmart or some shit.

SPEAKER_01 39:36

Hell yes.

SPEAKER_04 39:37

Which I'm like, why would people go to this small town outside of its small town city limits to an abandoned parking lot but come nationally? But whatever.

SPEAKER_01 39:47

For the race.

SPEAKER_04 39:48

I fucking guessed.

SPEAKER_01 39:48

I don't think you heard.

SPEAKER_04 39:50

I did.

SPEAKER_01 39:50

Um It's Race Wars from the first Fast and Furious movie.

SPEAKER_04 39:55

Stupid thing. It's Race Wars. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's speeding, it's speeding.

SPEAKER_01 40:02

Um is that the name of it?

SPEAKER_04 40:04

What?

SPEAKER_01 40:04

Speeding.

SPEAKER_04 40:06

They're going fast! They're speeding.

SPEAKER_01 40:12

This is an unboxing match. This is uh more like a Sultan battery.

SPEAKER_04 40:18

Yeah, keep it literal.

unknown 40:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:20

SPEAKER_04 40:35

No, it's Lucas. It's uh it's Alex and Nate.

SPEAKER_01 40:38

I don't remember these people.

SPEAKER_04 40:39

Oh my god. Alex and Nate were part of Kyle, who's Jess's ex-boyfriend from high school's group.

SPEAKER_01 40:46

Oh, these are these are part of his crew, but Kyle's not around anymore.

SPEAKER_04 40:49

Kyle's not around. Kyle's gone.

SPEAKER_01 40:51

But these are these are like the guys he abandoned to leave.

SPEAKER_04 40:54

Yeah. Remember, Nate's dad is the cop.

SPEAKER_01 40:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 40:56

Alex is the one that grabbed Jess at the first race in the first book and made uh Vincent plug the blicky.

SPEAKER_01 41:02

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_04 41:03

Yes, that's them.

SPEAKER_01 41:04

Yeah, so he's got he's got gun on the mind.

SPEAKER_04 41:07

Well, he they're just like they're violent, like ex-football guys. These guys would love to be cop, but I think they're not smart enough.

SPEAKER_01 41:12

Yes, okay.

SPEAKER_04 41:13

Which is really shocking.

SPEAKER_01 41:14

No, no, no, they they've just failed like their psych exam.

SPEAKER_04 41:16

Somehow, because there's really no like it's you just have to get like a one. They're like, just write your name down. They failed. Um, anyway, uh the guys are there, and uh Nate gets out of his car. JC.

SPEAKER_01 41:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 41:29

The car that Nate has here has Nos.

SPEAKER_01 41:32

Yes! Yes, yes, yes! And he hits the Nos.

SPEAKER_04 41:36

He doesn't hit the NOS, it's just parked for some reason.

SPEAKER_01 41:38

It's just a park.

SPEAKER_04 41:39

It's just a parked car with NOS.

SPEAKER_01 41:41

Hit the NOS and park.

SPEAKER_04 41:42

And and uh Lucas and Manson are like, that's not even your fucking car, like that car got impounded, like you just took it from the lunch, your dad's a fucking cop and he lets you do whatever you want.

SPEAKER_03 41:50

What?

SPEAKER_04 41:51

And they're like, shut up, you don't know shit. Um but right as they're like getting into it and kind of spatting, the cops show up. And so everyone's got a bozounce.

SPEAKER_01 42:00

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 42:01

Um, so uh the boys, which is Manson and Lucas, are in their two separate cars because they came in two separate cars.

SPEAKER_01 42:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 42:07

Uh Manson has Jess, Lucas is by himself.

SPEAKER_01 42:09

Oh good, I was gonna thought they left Jess behind. No, no, they have. They got shit.

SPEAKER_04 42:13

They have her. Um, and they're like racing down like back roads, kinda like the ones we have near us.

SPEAKER_02 42:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 42:18

Um, trying to like get away from the cops. Only they're being followed. And they're being followed by Alex and Nate. And Alex and Nate are like speeding and trying to like push them off the road to cause like a car accident. Yeah, for sure. And so, like, it's really crazy and it's really scary, and they're like trying to like avoid getting in like a fatal car crash with these two fuckwits on some backcountry roads. Uh uh Manson hits the fucking drift because he's now drifting. Yeah, so he like gets off the road that they're following, and the boys aren't able to turn fast enough, and so Manson gets away and just is freaking out, like, oh my god, what about Lucas? Like, I don't know what to do. And Manson's like, we gotta trust him, he's a good driver. And they get back to the house and they're freaking out, and they're like, We have to go find him, he might be dead out there, and then Lucas comes back into the yard, and they're like, Oh, thank God. Um They survive.

SPEAKER_01 43:04

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 43:04

Uh good for them. Good for them. Um, Manson calls Jason and is like, Jason, like, just so you know, this just happened, and like uh it was really scary, but like we gotta be careful. Jason starts like crying on the phone because he's like, Lucas almost died, and I care so much about both of them, and it's like we could have lost Lucas. Uh and Vince gets home from work in the middle of this phone call and is like, uh, what's up, bitch? And Jason's like, They almost killed Lucas! Like, I don't know what to do. Uh it's so awful. And like Jason's having like a panic attack, and so um him and Vince cuddle, and Vince literally fucks the panic out of him.

SPEAKER_01 43:43

Hell yes. And he's like, That's what you gotta do sometimes.

SPEAKER_04 43:46

He's like, I'm gonna bone you until you fall asleep. That way you can't panic.

SPEAKER_01 43:49

Oh, alright.

SPEAKER_04 43:50

And Jason falls asleep with his face in his mind.

SPEAKER_01 43:55

Nice. Parsley? That happens.

SPEAKER_04 43:57

Parsley couldn't be me.

SPEAKER_01 43:58

That happens sometimes.

SPEAKER_04 43:59

Wouldn't find it relaxing. But whatever.

SPEAKER_01 44:00

You just get so sleepy.

SPEAKER_04 44:02

Uh, don't worry.

SPEAKER_01 44:02

Put some right up. It's like putting a baby in a car.

SPEAKER_04 44:05

Don't don't Don't compare a baby in a car to No, no, no, no. Not to like anal sex.

SPEAKER_01 44:14

Yeah, it's like kind of the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 44:16

Anal sex is kind of like a binky when you think about it.

SPEAKER_01 44:19

Yeah, yeah, look, anal sex for a poly guy is like getting in a car and driving a baby around the blog.

SPEAKER_04 44:27

I hate that. Okay. Um second, I have to regain myself with this disgusting statement. Back at the polycule house.

SPEAKER_01 44:36

Polyhouse.

SPEAKER_04 44:37

Manson and Lucas and Jess are also fucking the stress away.

SPEAKER_03 44:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:43

Um Manson's dombing the shit out of Lucas and Jess simultaneously, because that's what they do.

SPEAKER_03 44:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:49

Uh the only fun thing to notice about this is that, um, do you remember, did I mention in the last episode what Manson's pet name for Lucas is?

SPEAKER_00 44:57

No.

SPEAKER_04 44:58

He calls him pup.

SPEAKER_00 44:59

Ew.

SPEAKER_04 45:00

Guess why?

SPEAKER_00 45:01

I don't want to.

SPEAKER_04 45:02

Yeah, you do. It's because they like to do puppy play.

SPEAKER_00 45:05

No. No, I don't like that.

SPEAKER_04 45:07

So as as as Lucas is like kneeling on the floor, Jess is next to him, uh, Manson pulls out like the puppy leather mask and like collar, a collar, like all of that shit. And he's like calling him like, you're a good little puppy, you're gonna do what I say, and I was like, whoa. Okay. Uh you ever seen anyone dressed up for puppy play?

SPEAKER_01 45:28

I mean, like online, but not in not in like human person.

SPEAKER_04 45:31

I went to the Folsom Street Fair when I lived in San Francisco a few years ago, which had uh a lot of leather. The puppies were fun. I mean, like, I mean, okay, here's why. Have you ever seen the puppy play masks, like the leather ones? Yes. They're really intricately made. Yes, it's and like some of that stitching on there is beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 45:48

But what the craftsmanship is.

SPEAKER_04 45:50

Look, the craftsmanship is off the fucking charge. But what I did see more impressive than the puppy play, I saw horse play.

SPEAKER_00 45:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 45:58

The horse leather mass. Oh, yeah. With the little with the little hooves.

SPEAKER_02 46:02

Yep, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_04 46:02

And they're like pulling around a carriage.

SPEAKER_02 46:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 46:05

Love that. That's artsy, bitch. It's giving performance, it's giving drama. I guess Lucas is giving drama. Uh they all fuck. It's done. Uh they've all decided that they're over the trauma of attempted murder on the boys.

SPEAKER_01 46:20

Yeah. Yeah, this is how this works this works. Naughty naughty boy style.

SPEAKER_04 46:23

Naughty boy style. Uh when Jason and Vincent are back, uh Manson is like, hey, you guys, we really need to focus on getting this house ready to sell because I think with things escalating in this town, we shouldn't really like wait around to try to get things perfect. Like, we should try to leave sooner than later. Uh, which means Manson has to like go into his childhood bedroom he's been avoiding and go like clean it up. Um they clean out everything, they take out all the trash, he's like, I don't want to save shit, and then as he's sitting in there, like processing like the the getting rid of everything that's just been kept in this locked room since like he left home at 18. Um Jess comes in and like sits next to him and he's like chilling and she's like, by the way, I love you. So uh the love seal is broken.

SPEAKER_01 47:08

She she's had a she's had a minute to think about it.

SPEAKER_04 47:10

She's like, I love you. So the love seal is broken, just keep that in mind. Um Okay. After that, Jess goes back home because she's still not living with the polycule. Um, and she's cleaning out her own house after helping um Manson clean out his. Um and she's taking out the trash and she's taking care of all of this, and all of a sudden she sees someone across the street, and she like notices it's Manson's dad, so she turns to go back into the house, and Manson's dad runs at her, and he like barely like is right behind her, and like she slams the door and she locks it and she like goes and hides in her closet and calls Manson and Jason is like, Your dad's outside, I don't know what the fucking do. And the whole time the dad's downstairs like ringing the doorbell and like banging on the door and like really freaking her out.

SPEAKER_00 47:54

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 47:55

Uh Manson and Jason rush over, he's not the dad. The dad's not there anymore, and uh, that's that.

SPEAKER_01 48:01

That's that.

SPEAKER_04 48:02

That's that. Uh they're freaked out because it means that he definitely knows about Jess and he's trying to do something about it. Uh the next day, Vincent comes and picks up his beat. That's Jess. Yes, uh, and is like, I want to show you something. So they go for like a little hike through the hills, uh, up to like some abandoned neighborhood, and he goes, I want to show you this place, and they go inside to like this abandoned house.

SPEAKER_02 48:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 48:26

They found a bando.

SPEAKER_01 48:27

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 48:28

You like that? I'm familiar. Pulled out that local terminology.

SPEAKER_01 48:31

I don't know about local, but sure.

SPEAKER_04 48:32

It's only Baltimore, it's the only one I know who uses it.

SPEAKER_01 48:35

Yeah, that's my f that's my understanding. Sort of.

SPEAKER_04 48:40

Um shut up. Okay, so they're in this bando, and like there's lots of graffiti all around, and he's like, Yeah, I worked on some of these, but like this is kind of like a collective place, and he's like, I love to come and paint in these abandoned locations because I feel like it it really allows me to clear my head, which I'm like, okay, uh if you're not like painting on a canvas, I don't know if you can effectively call yourself an artist, because then really you can't like sell or help get hired for your work.

SPEAKER_01 49:08

That's fine.

SPEAKER_04 49:09

You're not able to take a client to a bando and be like, check out my shit.

SPEAKER_01 49:13

He doesn't need to take the client to the bando. He just needs to clear his head through art I guess. Um And art can be anything, it doesn't have to be on a canvas.

SPEAKER_04 49:23

Damn, you got my ass with that one, bitch. Um, okay, so he takes her up to the second floor and is like, hey, I want to show you this really special room. Like, I keep this room locked. And when she he opens up the door, it's like clean, and he's like, Yeah, I cleaned it out. Like, this is a very special room to paint. And he turns around and shows her the wall that he's been painting. And he has been painting a mural about the story of him and Jess.

SPEAKER_00 49:46

What?

SPEAKER_04 49:47

Starting in the first grade.

SPEAKER_00 49:49

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is too much.

SPEAKER_04 49:52

Mm-hmm. And she's like, when did you start this? He goes, I started this the day I saw you at the car wash because I knew that something had changed.

SPEAKER_01 50:01

That's yeah, when you kind of put your titties all over my car, I ha I kind of had a feeling like something was different. Yeah, I I imagine.

SPEAKER_04 50:09

Yeah, and so um he is showing her all this artwork about her.

SPEAKER_01 50:14

Wait, doesn't Vince also do art?

SPEAKER_04 50:16

Vince, this is Vince, bitch.

SPEAKER_01 50:17

Oh, this is Vince.

SPEAKER_04 50:18

Oh my god, yes, this is Vince.

SPEAKER_01 50:20

I thought this was Manson.

SPEAKER_04 50:21

No, Manson's at home.

SPEAKER_01 50:22

Oh, fuck me. This is all the same guy. How much pickle rick is in these murals?

SPEAKER_04 50:29

It's apparently it is psychedelic. Um, so anyway, he's a whole lot. He's showing her, he's showing her all this like mural shit, and he's like, I love you, Jess. And she doesn't have to think this time, so she's like, I love you too, Vincent. Uh, and now uh two out of four.

SPEAKER_01 50:45

Yeah, she's getting a little loose with the phrase.

SPEAKER_04 50:48

She's polyamorous, JC. That means multiple loves at once, JC.

SPEAKER_01 50:55

She's just really throwing the phrase around.

SPEAKER_04 50:57

As my first boyfriend would say, if you say it too often, it loses its meaning.

SPEAKER_01 51:01

Yeah, she's cheapening it.

SPEAKER_04 51:03

She's cheapening the term. Um, okay. Um, I want you to know that I coddled this section where Vince takes her to a house to kind of like get her mind off of the dad running at her. Vince calms this bitch like a horse.

SPEAKER_00 51:16

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 51:17

So that's where my mind is.

unknown 51:18

Shh shh shh shh shh.

SPEAKER_00 51:22

Easy girl.

SPEAKER_04 51:24

The pickle rick changed.

SPEAKER_01 51:27

Yeah, this is you rubbing your titties on my car, but your nipples are pickle rick. Is that something?

SPEAKER_04 51:37

Unfortunately, it is! What the fuck?

SPEAKER_01 51:40

I do like the idea of calming a horse by showing it a bunch of murals and like the imagination that like a horse could comprehend art.

SPEAKER_04 51:48

Look, if a horse can count, it can calms it.

SPEAKER_01 51:51

Beautiful brush palms.

SPEAKER_04 51:54

Whoa! It starts licking the wall like a show you wouldn't appreciate the most, the strokes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 52:03

Four to five hooves.

SPEAKER_04 52:05

Oh my god. Okay, the next day, Jason, Jason is small nit. I have to start telling you who's who. Jason's.

SPEAKER_01 52:13

Yeah, you gotta tell me which girl which boy is which. I'm losing track.

SPEAKER_04 52:16

I can tell. It's okay, me too, sometimes. Um, you make me nervous. Jason is having a bad day.

SPEAKER_02 52:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 52:25

Because it is Jason, small ninjas, brother's birthday.

SPEAKER_02 52:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 52:31

But he hasn't been allowed to talk to his brother since he left home, and it has been five years since he left home.

SPEAKER_01 52:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 52:36

So he hasn't.

SPEAKER_01 52:37

Does he like his brother?

SPEAKER_04 52:38

He loves his brother.

SPEAKER_01 52:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 52:39

He and his brother are super fucking close.

SPEAKER_01 52:41

They're tight.

SPEAKER_04 52:42

And he's like, my brother, I haven't talked to my brother in five years, and he was just a kid when I left, and I know my parents are like telling him all these lies about me, and like I can't even talk to him or contact him, and like there's no way I can tell him, like, hey, I still love you, and I'm sorry I left, and I had nothing to do with you.

SPEAKER_01 52:54

How old is his brother now? Fourteen. Okay, so he's getting right at the age where he's gonna show up and his brother's immediately going to call him a slur.

SPEAKER_04 53:01

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 53:04

He's like gay.

SPEAKER_04 53:05

Um, so he's in a mood. So he and Jess, uh, back in the first book, started going to the gym together every morning, um, so that way Jason could like protect her.

SPEAKER_02 53:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 53:15

Um, because Jason's in like a mood today, he's like, I don't really want to go to the gym. Do you want to do something else? And uh Jess is like, yeah, sure, what do you want to do? Jason's like, let's drive around. He has a very strange thought while driving around, which is a quote I have here for JC to read for us.

SPEAKER_01 53:33

Oh, hang on, let me I have this.

SPEAKER_04 53:35

How do I know you never prepared?

SPEAKER_01 53:37

Jess, sitting beside me in the passenger seat, was shrieking her lungs out. She hadn't decided yet if she loved it or was terrified for her life, but that was the fun part. As confident as I was behind the wheel, there was always a risk.

SPEAKER_04 53:53

What the fuck, Jason?

SPEAKER_01 53:54

Hell yes.

SPEAKER_04 53:55

Jason, are you like this is fun because I could kill her? Yeah, no, I get it. Okay, I'm gonna need you to explain a little bit more. What do you mean you get it?

SPEAKER_01 54:05

You know how I kind of play with fire a little bit by rage baiting you in a way I find funny?

SPEAKER_04 54:11

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 54:11

He's doing that, but with uh in a much more dangerous setting.

SPEAKER_04 54:15

So you're saying when you rage bait me, you're playing with your life.

SPEAKER_01 54:17

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree. Well, because you're kind of crazy.

SPEAKER_04 54:24

No, I'm not. Take it back.

SPEAKER_01 54:27

I take it back. You're not crazy even a little bit. Thank you. And I love you so much.

SPEAKER_04 54:31

I love you too. Um, so yeah, he's trying to like scare the shit out of her, he's trying to scare the shit out of himself to like read. I guess, you know how like in a panic attack you would ground yourself by being like, three things I can see, four things I can feel, shit like that.

SPEAKER_01 54:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 54:44

He's like, what if I think about dying to ground myself?

SPEAKER_01 54:47

Does this part feel r uh really real to you?

SPEAKER_04 54:53

Honestly.

SPEAKER_01 54:54

Did did reading it from his perspective make you empathize with your ex-boyfriend?

SPEAKER_04 54:58

Honestly, the fact when no. What was worse is when Lucas was racing down the highway because he was too in his fields and it was dangerous, that made me be like, oh, that reminds me of my ex-boyfriend.

SPEAKER_01 55:09

Oh, that's what he was doing. He was just in his fields.

SPEAKER_04 55:11

Oh, he was just in his feels when he was uh risking my life.

SPEAKER_01 55:15

Um yes. I'm not feeling good, and it's time for both of us to play with both of our lives about it. Do you understand your father better now?

SPEAKER_04 55:32

I understand my father so much better. He's like, I'm in my fields, I must kill myself and others. Um anyway, so after drifting and talking, thinking about how like he wants to risk Jess's life, uh, he takes Jess to see his child at home. He's like parked on the street and he's like, That's my child at home, like pointing to it. Um, and he's like, you know, uh, I left my family and it was hard to do, but like I had to do what I had to do to live my best life. And he's kind of like suggesting like you should abandon your family too. Like he's trying to convince her to like cut her family out.

SPEAKER_01 56:01

I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 56:02

And for some reason this makes her go, Jason, I love you.

SPEAKER_01 56:05

Oh, sure.

SPEAKER_04 56:06

I guess.

SPEAKER_01 56:10

Hell yes, dude. I've been waiting for someone to tell me to stop talking to my mom.

SPEAKER_04 56:16

To try to like convince me to stop talking to my mom, and I'm like, I love you for that.

SPEAKER_01 56:19

I kind of love you.

SPEAKER_04 56:22

Um, okay, so they go back to the polycule house, and because all the boys know that it's also his brother's birthday, they're like, Don't worry, we have a way that we're gonna distract you from your feels.

SPEAKER_01 56:31

What what is it?

SPEAKER_03 56:32

It's fucking Jason!

SPEAKER_01 56:33

Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's your brother's birthday. He's somewhere talking about Ohio Riz. We're have we're blowing out your pussy.

SPEAKER_04 56:44

Okay. Uh this scene has not much going on. Uh Lucas, nope, not Lucas, sorry. Jason, small ninja.

SPEAKER_01 56:52

Small ninja.

SPEAKER_04 56:53

And Jess, the girl, uh are the the the bottom bitches in this scene.

SPEAKER_02 57:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 57:00

Uh, the only important thing to note from this sex scene uh between all five of them is that Lucas, the emo bad boy, and Jason, small ninja, yes, are together sexually for the first time.

SPEAKER_01 57:15

Oh wow, good for them.

SPEAKER_04 57:16

Because Lucas Angry Emo erotically kicks Jason's little ninja's balls into submission. What?

SPEAKER_01 57:30

He kicks him in his nut sag erotically.

SPEAKER_04 57:32

Gently kicks him in his n-like nudges.

SPEAKER_01 57:38

Okay. Gently flicking the shit out of your clitoris. Do you like that?

SPEAKER_04 57:44

He like, um, he like has his steel toe boots on the people are he's like smooshing Jason small ninjas balls with his boots, and Jason's like, Jason's like moaning as he's getting his balls smooshed in by his steel toe boot.

SPEAKER_01 58:00

Later in the book, does there a moment where like Jess like dons like some stripper heels and she steps on his um uh twig and berries? She steps on his dick and balls and like some stilettos. No, there's not. There's not that, it's just the steel toe gentle kicking. Gentle kicking. It's like gentle parenting, but kicking.

SPEAKER_04 58:22

So that's the most important thing to come from this scene. Uh Jason also gets his Jason, small ninja.

SPEAKER_01 58:29

Small ninja.

SPEAKER_04 58:30

Uh, gets his his booty wrecked by Lucas, bad boy emo. Yeah, bad, but while he's like suspended in the air. But the ball kicking's the most important to me, because what the fuck is that?

SPEAKER_01 58:40

What is that?

SPEAKER_04 58:41

Um, okay. Next scene after this big ball kicking thing.

SPEAKER_01 58:46

Sounds like ball kicking.

SPEAKER_04 58:48

Um, Lucas takes Jess. Lucas is the emo boy.

SPEAKER_01 58:53

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 58:54

Lucas takes Jess, the girl.

SPEAKER_01 58:57

I know which one Jess is.

SPEAKER_04 58:59

To where you Lucas used to live in the local trailer park. Just for JC's note here, it is not a nice trailer park.

SPEAKER_01 59:06

Oh, thank you.

SPEAKER_04 59:06

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_01 59:07

Thank you for clarifying. You're welcome. Do they say the name of the trailer park?

SPEAKER_04 59:10

No.

SPEAKER_01 59:11

They don't say the name?

SPEAKER_04 59:12

They might, but I don't write it down. It's probably like something shores or side or something.

SPEAKER_01 59:16

Sure.

SPEAKER_04 59:17

Whatever. Um, and he takes Jess to this ditch behind his old trailer park.

SPEAKER_02 59:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 59:22

And he opens up his trunk and he has like 30 pounds of cat food back there.

SPEAKER_01 59:27

Oh, sure.

SPEAKER_04 59:28

And he's little bowls.

SPEAKER_01 59:29

Is he feeding the trailer park cats?

SPEAKER_04 59:30

He's feeding the trailer park cats. He lays out a bunch of bowls for them, and like 50 cats come out.

SPEAKER_01 59:37

Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_04 59:38

And he's like, Yeah, these are the cats that live here, and I come out here once a week to feed them.

SPEAKER_01 59:43

I have to do this or they devastate the local wildlife.

SPEAKER_04 59:46

Well, he's like, I come out here once a week. First of all, I don't feed local cats because I think around here they get eaten by other animals. Um but I think you should be feeding your pets more than once a week.

SPEAKER_01 59:59

Um whatever.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:00

Whatever.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:00

No, they're I mean, they're sustaining life on the local wildlife, so they're fine.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:05

Good for them. Um he's like, I've been catching most of them to take them and get them all spayed and neutered. Very responsible, Lucas.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:13

Just chasing around a feral cat with like a cat carrier, please. Please get in here.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:23

Um and he's like, but I haven't caught all of them, which is why there's a little baby. And this little baby comes out and she looks really skinny and she's little and she's like a very feral little cat.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:32

Uh, and she keeps trying to get the food, but the bigger cats keep pushing her out of the way. So um Lucas, the emo boy, yes, uh, picks up this little cat and puts her in his trunk so that way she can eat something without being without being like uh hassled by the other cats.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:46

Slams the trunk shut, let's go.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:48

Um, and she's like, I just girl. Uh it's like I didn't know you took care of these cats, like that's so like nice of you. And he's like, Yeah, I started taking care of these cats because when I was little there was a cat that lived under our porch and it was abandoned, and it was a little like baby cat, and I tried to keep it safe in my room, but my dad was like, uh, emotional attachments are bad, and my dad threatened to shoot the cat if I didn't get rid of it and kill it myself, so I ran away with the cat and got it to a neighbor's house so the neighbor could take care of it. So he's uh Lucas is a big cat boy.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:19

Yeah, he's kinda he kinda he's kind of about animals and cats and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:22

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:22

Um it is it is funny. I'm I'm putting this together now. Okay. That it's funny that every boy gets a moment where they get to drive Jess somewhere to reveal, like I have like emotions, and Jess is like, whoa. It feels like the the experience of reading this to me, in my imagination, would probably feel like um the first episode of that one season of The Umbrella Academy, where Elliot Page's character has to keep pulling all the individual characters aside and being like, I'm trans. Just so each individual character can go, that's great!

SPEAKER_04 1:02:03

Well, remember in the first book, it was like she had to individually sleep with each boy and be like, maybe I care about them.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:10

Now she needs to learn that they have emotions.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:12

Yeah, anyways.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:13

Oh my god, they have thoughts and emotions and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:15

Yeah, oh my god. So, uh, they're looking at this little baby cat, and Jessica's like, if you love kitty cats so much, like what are you gonna do about this little one? He goes, I don't know. Like, clearly, if she's the only baby I saw, so none of the other one survived, and her mom isn't here, so I don't know what to do. And Jessica's like, we should take her home, and he's like, I don't know, I haven't had a cat for a while, I'm very nervous about that. She goes, We should take care of her. Just because she's cruel doesn't mean she's she's broken or unlovable. She just needs someone gentle to remind her that she can be loved and safe. Lucas is the baby cat in this metaphor.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:46

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I no, I got there. This was not subtle.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:50

Um, uh, and then uh Jess is like, Lucas, I love you. Uh you deserve to be happy. Uh this encourages Lucas so much that he decides to try therapy.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:00

Oh, sure. That's funny. I know, right? It's funny. It's funny to look at a kitten and be like, I should go to therapy. I've got like I've got a bunch of bullshit going on.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:11

Okay, so at this point in time, she told Jason she loves him in his bedroom.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:15

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:16

Vincent, she loves him in the bando.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:18

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:18

Jason, she loves him in the car after he told her to leave her family, yep. And Lucas after he fed the cat.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:25

Okay, so we we love all the boys.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:27

All the boys love her too. They've all said that they love her as well.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:29

Yeah, there's a lot of love going around.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:31

Okay. Because they love each other so much, they decide to take her on a date.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:38

Okay. Now that we all love each other, it's day and night.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:43

It's date night.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:44

They go to Dairy Queen.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:46

No, no, no, no. They take her to the bar slash club that Vincent works at.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:52

Oh, na they go to Nashville.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:54

Because it is like a kink club. What? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:59

Did you mention it was a kink club, or did I forget that?

SPEAKER_04 1:04:01

No, I don't think I mentioned it. It's like it's like subtle kink club.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:05

Where it's like a club, but like the kinky people go there. It's not like subtle. It's it's not okay, it's like the bar in town here that's like the swingers bar. Like it's not called swingers are us, the bar. Yeah. But it is just kind of the one that the swingers have taken over.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:19

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:20

Kind of the same vibe here.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:22

Yeah. So they're at the club. Uh, they get a private room and like bottle service and shit like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:28

Bottle service? What how much money do they have?

SPEAKER_04 1:04:30

I don't know!

SPEAKER_01 1:04:33

Obviously, they have no money and money.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:35

I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. I'm trying not to think about their financial like state because there's no fucking way.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:44

I guess it I guess to be fair, it's one of those things where um uh when I when I still lived in my hometown after I graduated college, I would meet people who would be like, I have no money, and I like the l I have like a weird living situation. But then they'd be like, also like this past weekend I drove up to DC and I went to like a bunch of bars with a bunch of people. And you're like, with what money?

SPEAKER_04 1:05:07

It's they're paying all the pussy they got at CSO club.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:10

Oh, they do accept pussy.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:12

Okay, so at the club, they're all like going crazy on each other. There's there's sucking, there's fucking, there's dancing, there's there's all sorts of shit. It's club stuff. Yep, it's club stuff. Uh great, cool. They all have a great time out. They uh oh, uh, I didn't write it down, but uh uh one point in time Jess erotically gets uh penetrated with a champagne bottle with a condom on it. Nice. I just thought that was kind of strange.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:36

They pop the bottle in her pose. No, oh my god!

SPEAKER_04 1:05:39

No, the cap's already off, that's why they have to put the condom on it. Congratulations, your champagne is smells like spermicide now.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:51

Hell yes, dude.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:52

Huh. Okay, so they got a hotel room nearby because uh Vincent's work is on the other side of the house. They got a nice hotel again. Where are you getting the money?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:05

Yeah, they need to be in like the motel six.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:07

Also, they only got one room, which is like, as someone who goes to hotels a lot, I don't think there's a single fucking hotel in the country that would be like five adults. One room is good for you.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:16

Well, maybe they just like they're like, oh yeah, oh yeah, could I just like I just need a room real quick? And they're like, how many adults? And you're like, whatever.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:23

Two?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:26

Two 100%. What are they checking?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:28

Okay, so they're in the Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:32

Do I get to read?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:33

You do get to read. This is in the hotel room. Uh they all did a lot of sucking and fucking at the club, but whenever they're all together, there's a lot of erotic energy. Uh, and so I have a quote here from Lucas, the emo boys, uh perspective for JC to read.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:52

Alright. Probably should have pissed before I got hard again, but fuck. I didn't plan my erections. Lifting the toilet seat as they all piled into the shower.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:04

Saving the boys Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:06

I tried to focus on my aim when Jess's voice brought the whole process grinding to a halt. Wait, Lucas, please. It dragged my attention back to her immediately. She was standing in the open shower door looking at me. I want it, she whispered. The words barely able to be heard, but it made us all pause watching her. Her face turned bright, blazing red as she bit her lip, struggling to get the words out. Please, I don't waste it. What do you want? I said. I was smiling like a madman, but I couldn't help it. Seeing her struggle like this, trying desperately to hide her embarrassment, gave me such a rush. I want Jess paused, licked her lips, and took another deep breath before saying the words that made my heart pound. I don't want you to piss on me. Dirty girl, Vincent said as Manson muttered, holy shit, under his breath. Look at me, I said, and she gulped as she lifted her eyes. They were wide, her pupils full and dark with lust. I watched her expression, her movement, her awareness, searching for any indication she wasn't mentally present enough to make this decision. But all I saw in her eye all I saw in her was embarrassment and desire, inextricably tangled. Is that really what you want, Jess? Do you want me to put you down on your knees and piss on you? Even her chest was red from the heat of her blush as she nodded. Yes, please, I I'm yours. You should claim your property. Fucking hell, Jason groaned. At least I wasn't the only one with a heart on. Jess's request to hit a sweet spot for all of us. Do it, Lucas. Make our girl filthy. Hell yes, dude. Mark your territory like a damn dog.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:02

Which links back to the quote in the first episode where he's like, maybe I would piss on her if she stuck around and claim her as my property. You see, full circle.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:10

I'll claim her as my property dog style.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:12

Puppy dog style. Because he's a puppy.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:14

Because he's a puppy.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:15

Uh.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:16

Like a pee-pee on a pad. Putting down peepee pads for my puppy Jason.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:23

No, Lucas is the puppy.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:25

Lucas is the puppy.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:26

Lucas is the goth puppy. Jason is small ninja.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:29

Small ninja, and he's not a puppy.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:31

He's not a puppy.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:32

Um Lucas just likes it. Lucas just likes it.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:35

All of them like it! I cut out I cut out the part where we get the description of the pee on her, and it's like the golden yellow jewel dribbled down over her nipple piercings, and it's like, Jesus. I was next to you when I was reading this in the whole time. I was like, oh Jesus!

SPEAKER_01 1:09:52

What the fuck? Oh, that's what this was. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:56

Yeah, there's some violent reactions to this part.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:58

That's funny.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:59

I, um, hey, no cake sham, I'm not gonna yuck no yum. Personally.

unknown 1:10:04

Ew.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:05

Also golden yellow. Jason needs to drink some water.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:09

Lucas! It's Lucas!

SPEAKER_01 1:10:11

Lucas is the one? Lucas is the one. No, you just said it wasn't Lucas.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:14

Lucas peas on her.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:16

You just said Lucas wasn't the one who pees.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:17

Lucas peas on her. Jason is not the one who pees on her.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:20

Girl.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:22

Girl, get your boy straight.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:24

I can't.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:24

Get your boy straight.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:25

They all have the same name to me.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:27

I girl. Don't I fucking know it? During the first episode, you know how many times I had to like copy and paste names around into editing to be like, shit!

unknown 1:10:34

It makes no sense.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:39

So I get it, I get it.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:40

Little peek behind the curtain.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:41

Little peek behind the curtain. I get confused and I have to edit myself. Um, this is why also, like, I end up doing a lot of these reverse harem books, but half the time I'm flipping through and I'm like, who the fuck is this again?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:53

Who's this guy?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:54

Wait, who's this one?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:55

And wait, who's pissing on her?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:57

Wait, who pee? Yeah. Um.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:00

Awesome.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:02

They gotta pee.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:03

And they and they have to pee, and it's on her, and she's their toilet.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:07

Ew. Ew. Ew.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:11

Um giving porta potty vibes. Anyway, please continue.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:17

Okay. Um. We're back in town. They had a great time.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:22

Sorry, I read the name of this section in the notes, and I'm I spoiled it for myself. Please continue.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:32

Um, okay, so they're all back home. Uh uh Jess goes on a hike with the girl from the sex shop. Okay. And they're hiking around the mountains in eastern Tennessee and having a great time when they kind of pass uh Alex and Nate.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:46

Alex and Nate grab Jess.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:48

Okay, they wished it was a bear.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:50

They wished it was a bear. Um they grab Jess, and Julia's trying to fight him off, and Jess is trying to fight him off. Um, but Jess has mace because the boys gave her mace after they were almost driven off the road because they're like, we can't, we we have to arm you. You can't, and they're not gonna give her a blicky, she's just a little woman. Um, so she's got this spray, so she sprays Nate in the face, he's down and out for the count.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:16

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:17

Um, and Alex is trying to get her, and she like pushes him away, but she like falls and like hurts her ankle really bad. It's sprained, it's broken, something's bad.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:24

I'm sure the boys are gonna be very normal about this.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:28

Uh, you have a wonderful sense of prediction, JC. Are you able to see the future?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:32

I do I can.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:34

Okay, so she gets back, uh, they have to take care of her. Boys lose their shit.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:39

Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:40

As you would expect. Well, it's uh Um Vincent stays home with Jess to ice her leg.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:47

Wait, why does what is why is Vincent on on ice duty?

SPEAKER_04 1:12:51

Girl, I don't know. Jason gets the blicky.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:53

Lucas and Manson roll up.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:56

Okay. They find Alex and Nate at a local dive bar.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:01

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:01

They try to go out there, mmm, beat the shit out of them. The bartender's like, you can't do that in the bar, go outside.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:07

Please don't do that.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:08

So they take so they all go out to this alley, and um, they're trying to like rile up Nate and Alex, um, so that way they throw the first punch.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:18

Uh so that way, like, it's self-defense and not assault, because remember, everyone wants to arrest the boys.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:24

Oh, sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:25

Um, so Manson, the one with the dad.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:30

Okay, the one with the dad.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:32

The one with the dad and the main dom of the polycule.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:36

Uh, beats the living shit out of Nate until his face is like pulp and he passes out. Nate passes out. Nate is the dad with the has the dad cop cop dad.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:45

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:46

Nate is down and out. Alex Alex, the one that grabbed Jess by the throat at the race. I gotta keep defining all these people for you. Um, is like sees Nate, passed out on the ground, and is like, oh fuck. Um Jason, small ninja, pulls out the blicky, points it at Alex, pistol whips this bitch.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:09

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:09

Yes. Um, and then when Alex is on the ground, Jason, small ninja, puts all of his weight on Alex's hand to break every bone in his hand.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:24

Ooh, sick.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:25

Yep. Now that Alex is down and screaming in pain, Lucas is like, I'm gonna get some payback, you fucking bitch. And he beats Alex till Alex is almost dead.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:36

Okay, for sure. I do think this is I don't think you could call this self-defense. I do want to throw out there. I don't think legally this quality. Legally I don't think you can like in self-defense get them on the ground and then like continue beating them.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:52

I agree. Um, so they like pull Lucas off of them to be like, don't kill him, like you can't do that. Um, and they kind of all like take a step back and they're like, Don't fucking bother us again. And Alex is like, I can't believe you all care about that stupid slut so much. No, dead ass though.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:10

They said that?

SPEAKER_04 1:15:11

Alex said that.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:12

Alex said that?

SPEAKER_04 1:15:13

So Manson, the one with the dad, the main dom, uses shit, and he tells Jason, small ninja, and Lucas, emo angry, he's like, flip Alex over. So Alex is fate to hound. What? Yep, I'm not done. Face down, Manson takes the knife that he fucked Jess with and threatened Kyle with, okay. Cuts off this like his shirt open, and then stabs Alex in the back.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:39

What?

SPEAKER_04 1:15:39

And Alex is like, you're gonna kill me! And Manson, the main dom and one with the dad, is like, I'm not gonna fucking kill you, but I'm gonna make sure you remember it. And then he carves into Manson's back. I abuse women.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:55

Oh, uh, like uh uh the girl with a dragon tattoo style.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:00

I guess so. I've never seen or that movie or read that book, so I guess if you say so.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:04

Yeah, something like that happens in and but she does it on a guy's stomach.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:07

Okay, so Manson likes girl with a dragon tattoo.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:10

He's a he's a girl with he's a Steag Larson girly.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:13

Um, after that, uh, they kind of like leave uh Alex in the alley and they're like, Don't fucking mess with us again, bro. Um they leave. We then get an Alex P.O.V. chapter, which was shocking. I was like, whoa, Alex P.O.V. Let's see what's going on. Uh nothing important. All we learn is that he's a raging misogynist. Surprise, surprise.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:34

And he hates women.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:35

But he hates women. That's why he has I abuse women on his back now. Uh, we also learn in this chapter, though, that Manson's dad paid Nate and Alex$500 to try and drive Lucas and Manson, the goth and the main dom, off of the road and killed them after the race. And as Alex is sitting there, like bleeding face down in this nasty alley, Manson's dad comes up to Alex and is like, oh shit, you got your ass beat in by those people. And uh Alex apparently just at that moment then is like, Oh shit, you're Manson's dad. I guess he just realized that. Uh, which is crazy because the whole time we're told that Manson and Manson's dad look like twins.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:22

They're the same. Manson, who's this guy who looks exactly like you but older?

SPEAKER_04 1:17:27

Yeah, I guess Alex didn't realize it before, whatever. Uh and the dad is like, This is bullshit, you should get revenge on him, and Alex is like, uh, I guess. Uh, and the dad's like, Come on, we got shit to do. Uh, and that's the end of Alex's chapter, he gets up and goes with the dad after having his back card open and his face beaten.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:43

That's funny. Awesome.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:45

Okay. Next chapter. We're getting towards the end of the book. Congratulations, you're about to get the final annale of this wonderful uh series.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:54

This beautiful series.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:55

I there's there is Pee Pee!

SPEAKER_01 1:17:56

There's Peep Um And there's Peep.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:58

So, uh after this attack, the boys will come home and home to the polycule house. Uh Jess is still there with Vincent, her ankle's feeling better. They all pile into Vincent and Jason, the stoner and small ninjas.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:12

Bed, because it's the biggest one, they're all sleeping and cuddling. Uh the dogs that uh the boys have, there's two of them, start whining, and so Jess gets up to take them potty outside. Um, she goes and opens the door, and the dogs run out, and she's like, oh shit, like I gotta go get up. So she goes outside, and when she goes outside, she's grabbed, and she is like, someone grabs her around the waist and puts a hand on her mouth so she can't scream, and it's it's Alex. And out of the corner of her eye, she sees a lit cigarette, and Manson's dad is there on the house.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:42

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:43

Um, and uh Alex's dad goes inside not sorry, hmm. And Manson's dad goes inside the house and is like, Alex, I don't care what you do with this slut. Do whatever you want, it's not my concern.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:57

Yeah, streets say you abuse women.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:58

Streets say you abuse women. Um, so Alex is there, he doesn't really know what to do with Jess because he's like kind of got his shit beat out.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:06

Um I guess I abuse women now.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:09

And and one of the dogs, who is of course a pit bull.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:13

Of course.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:14

Runs from the forest on the property, latches itself onto Alex's arm, and starts like shaking violently.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:20

Uh, letting Jess go.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:22

Ooh, nice.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:23

So Alex is now out of the count. Jess goes inside the house where Manson's dad is, and she notices that it smells like gasoline. I guess if she was grabbed, she didn't notice Manson's dad carrying a several gallon canister of gasoline.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:38

Yeah, you would think she would notice that. They're the the newer ones are like plastic and they're they're like five-gallon canisters.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:47

And they're like neon colors.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:48

Yeah, and they're they're like really bright colors.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:50

She's got bad eyesight. She just hasn't thought about it the whole book.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:53

She's colorblind.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:55

Um, so she is trying to be like, what the fuck are you doing? Like, what is wrong with you? You need to stop. And she's trying to like hit the dad to make him stop because he clearly wants to burn the house down.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:06

And he's like, no one will want to buy this house after there's five random deaths and a spontaneous fire in here, which I'm kind of like, you're right. But also, didn't you want the money from selling this house? Like, seems like you're kind of um insurance fraud time. I guess.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:19

Um Manson's dad is on his insurance fraud hours.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:22

I guess. Um, Manson's dad turns around and, like, after he's poured out all this gasoline, like, grabs Jess by the throat, gets her to the ground, and she is like passing out, and she is a sudden realization, like, bro, if I can't breathe in a little bit, I'm gonna fucking die.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:38

Um, all of a sudden there's this loud yell, and someone like pumbles Manson's dad off of her.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:45

Is it Manson?

SPEAKER_04 1:20:45

It is Manson.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:46

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:47

Um, all the boys come downstairs and it's boy time. And Vincent and Vincent the stoner and Jason, small ninja, are helping Jess trying to get her to breathe again. Lucas, the emo one, is on the phone with the cops being like, you need to send an ambulance, like she's hurt, like we're trying to get her to stay awake, but she keeps passing out like we need help. Um, meanwhile, Manson, the main dom, is in the corner with his dad choking him.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:15

And Jason, small ninja, has to go over to be like, dude, you gotta stop choking him. He's already passed out, you're just gonna kill him. Um, so the cops show up with an ambulance. Jess is taken out to the ambulance, she is like uh bruised like throat, and she's like covered in gasoline, and she's not doing super great, but she's fine. Um, Manson's dad and Alex are arrested for, you know, attempted murder.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:44

For sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:44

And attempted insurance fraud, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:46

Yeah. Um That'll do it.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:48

That happens. Um, and then that happens. Shut up. Jessica's parents show up and start hugging all the boys.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:58

Okay. Oh, they're they're into it now.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:00

Being like, you saved my baby. I can't believe you did this, you're so great. And I don't remember which boy says it, but it doesn't matter. But they like to hit their favorite line, which is, uh, ma'am, we love her.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:12

We love her.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:12

Collective we, single uh single hive mind, love Jess.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:17

Jess's parents and family are joining the polycumble.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:19

And Jess's dad is like, I don't care what her love life is, as long as she is safe and is loved.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:27

He kisses Man Sen.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:28

I guess. Um, so basically, after like a thousand pages of Jess's mom being like, fuck that shit, those guys are freaks, they're nasty, they should go to prison, they're awful.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:40

They're so nasty, and also they seem gay.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:42

They seem gay, and now she's down with it because they saved her life once. Uh uh fixing my bigotries. Yeah, apparently all you need to do is have one like near-death experience to like not be a piece of shit anymore. Kind of doubt, but whatever.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:57

That's how it works. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:58

Two months later. Yeah, we're doing time jumps, bitch.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:02

Jess has gotten the full-time job with the architectural firm.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:07

The job is based in New York City.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:09

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:09

She's looking at apartments in New York City, she's like, holy shit, it's really expensive. The boys are looking at houses in rural New York. They take her to see a house, they're like, we really like this one. What do you think of it? We're thinking about putting in an offer. She's like, it's beautiful. It's like a very old, like, Queen Anne house. They're very they're pretty, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:23:24

Sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:25

Do you know what a Queen Anne is?

SPEAKER_01 1:23:26

Not off the dome.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:28

You should, JC. It's very pretty. I told you you should know.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:31

Very historic, very pretty, well kept, giant.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:34

A beautiful home.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:35

Beautiful home. Um, and uh, after they show her the house, they're like, hey, we want to take you out on a date, and so they do. So they go to a really nice fancy restaurant, all five of them. And uh after dinner, um Nanson, the main dom, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a box for her. And she opens the box.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:55

No.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:58

And it's a ring. No! And it has five stones in it for the five people, two white diamonds and one pink diamond. Um, and there are how many white diamonds? Four. Sorry. Four white diamonds, one pink diamond.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:13

Oh, b oh, for the white diamonds are boys and the pink diamond is girl.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:16

Right, pink and girl.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:17

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:18

Um, and they are like, hey, marriage isn't really an option for us legally. Um, but we want you to be with us forever, and we love you, and we want you to move in with us so you don't have to find an apartment in New York City, you would live in the house with us.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:33

Where in New York are they?

SPEAKER_04 1:24:35

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:36

They're in that they're in that one town in upstate New York that's like almost exclusively Orthodox Jewish people. Uh, there is mention somewhere in there ascitic Jewish people.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:45

Uh they do mention somewhere in there that this house is like an hour outside of New York City.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:51

Okay, so it's like one of those towns that like Don Draper lived in. Yeah, I she's she's she's on reference. She's on the she's on the Don Draper commuter train.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:00

I guess. Um, so she moves in with the boys.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:04

She's basically like emotionally engaged to four dudes. Um, and that's beautiful. Then we get the epilogue.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:12

The epilogue is big fuckies, yeah. Lots of boning. Yeah. Jess gets collared.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:18

She gets a really nice collar.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:20

Good for her.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:20

And during this sex scene, there's this whole like plot, because of course that's how sex scenes work. You have like a little plot, a little story, about like we're gonna we're gonna breed that pussy. What? If it's not a pussy, it would be a pussy. Or a pussy, a girl pussy. Nor normal normal pussy. Um, and sh afterwards she's like, hey, did you guys mean what you said there? And they're like, What do you mean? She's like, Do you wanna? Like, do we want to have babies?

SPEAKER_03 1:25:50

What?

SPEAKER_04 1:25:51

And they're like, Yeah, not right now, but in a few years we're gonna get that IUD out and we're gonna consistently run a train on you.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:58

Until you're freaking pregnant.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:00

Multiple times. They want to do this multiple times.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:02

Which one of them is uh checking uh her her basal temperature?

SPEAKER_04 1:26:06

You know it would be Jason, small ninja, to do that because he's the subby bottom bitch and that is subby bottom bitch behavior. Anyway, Jussie.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:16

That seems untrue.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:17

It is. Uh, the end.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:19

They are And the end.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:21

They end. They live together in rural New York.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:23

And they're gonna have a baby now.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:24

And they're gonna have a baby, and they're all emotionally married.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:29

Emotionally married. Do they have like a ceremony of any kind?

SPEAKER_04 1:26:32

Or is it just like she gets collared? That's pretty ceremonial.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:36

In front of her mom? In front of her grandma?

SPEAKER_04 1:26:40

No, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:40

Getting collared in front of grandma.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:42

I don't think so. No, she doesn't. Why would she no? Because they're not legally married, and so they're never there's no ceremony.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:49

You could have a non-legal marriage.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:51

Girl, I know that, but I don't know if these hometown D bags know that.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:57

They're in a church.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:59

Yeah, how's that gonna work? Yeah, they could they just Jason's got rel Jason, small ninja, has got religious trauma. He can't go into a church.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:07

He can't go into church. He's got it's kind of like Bobby from Queer Eye.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:11

Yeah, last time he got near a church or talked about religion, he had to be gently kicked in the balls until nutted.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:20

They have that the whole wedding ceremony, one of them are like squeezing his balls real tight.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:26

They have to. He's got trauma.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:28

They have one of those devices that uh crushes your balls.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:32

That little hand movement JC just did reminded me of um the drain cleaner we have that's got like the little grippy claws.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:39

Yeah. Like grabs the hair. He grabs the hair out and your balls.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:43

And your balls! So that's um the losers. How do you feel about it?

SPEAKER_01 1:27:47

How is reading this?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:50

I think it's fun.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:51

Um what's the vibe, like what's the experience like of reading these books?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:58

It's interesting. I I mean it's it it's kind of like how you talked about in that Umbrella Academy series where like Elliot Page just has to pull aside everyone like one at a time. And at some point in time it does start to feel like that, where I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. She's gonna be in love with everyone. Um I don't like reverse harems.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:21

I know it doesn't seem that way because I keep fucking reading them, but I don't enjoy them because I don't understand why you wouldn't just date the best guy. Clearly, uh Vincent's a stoner, that's not gonna be a good partner.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:35

Uh Jason is a bottom bitch, which is cute at times, but like not personally the energy I need. Uh Vincent has anger issues. The only true good long-term partner is Manson, because he's the only one who's been to therapy, has a job, has a career, has a plan on the way forward. The others are just hangers on. And so I'm like, why would you need a reverse hair with these bitches? Manson's got a big penis, Manson's got money, Manson's got therapy, Manson knows what's up, Manson's trying to control his anger, Manson would be a good partner. The rest of them are just baggage to carry around.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:09

Yeah, they're just they're just uh extra wieners to fuck you.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:12

Exactly. And you can get that with rubber.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:15

Not with rubber.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:17

Yes, girl, you know what's cheaper and easier than three extra lazy ass broken men? It's a fuck machine. A sex machine is easier and cheaper to take care of than the guy addicted to drugs or the guy who's never been to therapy.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:32

Yeah, but you can spl you can't split rent with the sex machine.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:36

You got my ass there. Okay, never mind. Never mind, you're making sense again. But then again, then again, Vincent's a bartender. I the only one who has a real job is Jason. So I guess if Jason can stay.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:47

What's Jason's job?

SPEAKER_04 1:29:48

He's a programmer.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:49

Oh, that's right. Sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:51

So he can stay. The rest of them have got to go.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:54

You're gonna pull your weight.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:55

Yeah, pull your weight. I want a minimum of$75,000 annually.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:01

Maybe there needs to be another book where um the the freeloaders, like, their role in the household, in the in the sex commune, is um they're kind of like househusbands. So they like they take care they do like the child rearing and the and the domesticity, and then the the rest of them have like jobs. That way there's there's kind of like an even split of work.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:25

Lucas, the email one, works in the garage with Manson, but I feel like he's not really worth anything because half the time he's not doing anything except for like being ankle deep in oil, like he's looking greasy and shitty, and all Vincent does is smoke weed, fuck bitches, and serve drinks at a bar seven hours away.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:47

Uh sorry, I I'm kind of shifting gears here, car reference. Um number one is what does like what happens to their garage when they move are they just still doing it out of the new house?

SPEAKER_04 1:31:00

They're doing it, but not out of the new house. They rented a separate space so that way they have better work-life balance.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:05

Oh, sure. Um, also moving to I mean, I guess they're like far away from New York, but New York is a fairly non-it's like one of the only non-car-centric cities in the United States. Correct. So it's it feels funny. Surely they aren't doing like good business there. Like surely surely it would be like better for uh like Los Angeles to have been where they move.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:31

Yeah, but Jess wants to go work in New York for this firm.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:35

I don't Yeah, but yeah, but what I what I'm saying is that Jess isn't like real, and so you could just make like where she goes to work anywhere, and it seems like Los Angeles would have been an easier sell for their car bus car-based business as like one of the most car-centric cities in the United States.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:54

And have to compete with the Fast and Furious boys.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:56

Well, they don't live there anymore because they're doing government work now.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:59

Oh my god, they're consultants in DC.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:01

Yeah, no nobody is uh no nobody is running the street racing scene in Los Angeles because Dominic Toretto is flying to space.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:09

There's a power vacuum that they could have filled.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:11

Yeah, uh Dominic and Ludacris and Tyrese are driving to space.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:15

You gotta stop presenting Fast and Furious stuff.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:18

Yeah, I'm gonna do it on other episodes. I'm just gonna keep referencing them. I know.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:22

So that is the Losers. It was fun. I don't like reverse harems, despite the fact that I keep reading them. Manson's the only good partner. Jess sounds like a fucking bitch, and there's no reason to forgive your bullies, even if they give you free pussy in exchange for car repair.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:35

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:36

Just wanna put that out there. Um, but uh, as I said in the first episode, Harley LaRue does an amazing job getting that dirty, gritty hometown D-bag filling, and so every time I finished a book, I was like, ooh, I gotta go take a shower. But it was it was fun. I think she's a she's a good author. I I like it. Uh and you know what I will give, I will give Harley LaRue? There's always one thing in these books that just makes me go, uh, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_01 1:33:01

Oh, gross. Um, I actually was gonna ask about that. How are the sex scenes in in these books? Are they like written well?

SPEAKER_04 1:33:10

Yeah. Are they No they're written well.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:13

Um Is it cause cause I guess like a an okay way of determining how good the s the the sex scene writing is is like cause because you've mentioned like there's a lot of stuff that you you are not really into. Does it still feel hot, or are you kind of like, I'm skipping pat I don't need all this puppy play bullshit?

SPEAKER_04 1:33:33

Um, I mean, if I don't find it hot, uh it's not giving me like fanny flutters. Oh sure. But like it's fine. Um the the the the pee-pee one really took me out because I find that disgusting. Um you pee-pee. Uh, but like it's good. I think you and I have talked about this where uh I know someone who's a writer and she's told me that the best way to tell how good like a smut writer is is how well they can like describe a female orgasm.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:00

Sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:00

And like how many ways they can, because uh to say like she nutted is like not good enough. Um and in that instance I think Carly LaRue is is very good at that. Um the the way in which they're able to write is really amazing, and I think the fact that there's five and in this book six different POVs, and like every POV is like a distinct feel and way of thinking is a lot of fun. I did really enjoy it, and I really enjoyed um the Souls trilogy uh that Harley Laru also wrote. So, you know, I have a I have a great time. They have another book coming out in like a collective series with Katie Robert, who's another wonderful uh like smud author.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:42

Sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:43

Um, and I'm kind of like, aha, let me see that one. You're all like, let me see what you got in that. Um, I have a great time. I I think it's a round of fun. Uh even if like reverse harem isn't your shit, if you kind of like a dark romance even, like it's it's good. It's fun. It's an iconic series, the like uh bully romance, reverse harem, punishment, BDSM. Like it's a it's it collects a lot of boxes in one place that usually aren't super well connected.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:12

Nice nice. Harley Harley LaRue, uh, come on the pod.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:17

Come on the pod.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:18

Come on the pod, let's talk.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:19

Let's talk about the pee-pee scene and if you had to uh do research for that.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:23

No, we're gonna we're gonna make her come on and we're gonna talk about a different book. Talk about the talk about the uh the next naughty boy book with me.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:31

Oh my god. So yeah, that was Losers Part 2. Uh I'm I'm glad I I got through that. And you know what, JC? I'm really glad I got to share it with you. I had a wonderful time uh explaining it, and I had a great time getting you to read some of these quotes.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:46

SPEAKER_02 1:36:09

I'm not allowed to.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:10

JC's not good at this. I post uh every time we have an episode come out, I try to make a funny little may, a funny little something. Uh we would love to have y'all uh uh reach out if there's any books you think we would like or if you uh you got any thoughts, feelings, or emotions. Unless it's about our sound quality.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:27

Yeah, don't tell me about the sound quality.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:29

Don't tell me about the sound quality.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:30

It's gonna be better.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:32

Even if it's not, look, you know what? I am the producer, and let me tell you, I have zero years of producing credit. So this is my learning instance. So uh I'm learning. I'm I'm literally just a podcast, baby.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:47

Have a good one.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:48

Have a good one.
