The show goes extra long, and that's without so much of what didn't make the cut. That's us: saving you from banality, but also pointing out the glory of Dave Stewart, the unblemished. It's just a good fight scene that takes the gold, and more comic book nonsense. Note: Time codes are subject to change depending on dynamic ad insertion by the distributor.

Jordan gets back to her roots this week with a fun, quirky, and not too serious regency romance - What I Did for a Duke by Julie Anne Long. While we're still not clear on what was done to get the duke, it's likely something naughty (especially since this is an open door romance!) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8430098-what-i-did-for-a-dukeIf you're looking for something similar, try anything by Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas or Sherry Thomas.

Katie undertakes the 2am drunk Taco Bell run that is Danielle Lori's mafia romance, The Sweetest Oblivion (somewhere off in the distance, Jordan scoffs at this title for the 37th time). Was it good? Eh. Was it edible? Also eh. Has Katie read it twice already? ... she pleads the fifth. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39083635-the-sweetest-oblivion

Instantly this week, we jump into books that weren't even on the list. It's never happened. Comics cannot be stopped. Comics finds... a way.

"It's basically two quirky weird people with baggage realizing their baggage works together, and that they make each other... like whole?" This week Jordan has us all crying in the club with her Netflix K-Drama, Mad For Each Other. Two weirdos falling in love? What more could you want?

The Two Jamokes™, joined by Dr. Ryan Haupt, manage to stay on target with the week in comics while also answering the age-old question: what happens if you add a saxophone to punk music?

He's hot so therefore he *must* live - the alternate title of Katie's pick of the week, What Monstrous Gods by Rosamund Hodge (the same author as one of our pod books, Cruel Beauty!)

This week, Josh Flanagan cracks Vietnam-era writer psychology wide open, while Conor Kilpatrick fails a Star Wars test… or does he? What he definitely does is totally lose his mental facilities by the end of the show. Los Angeles wasn't built for this kind of prolonged heat! Finally, it's important to note that despite what these Two Jamokes say on the show, Ravage is a cat and not a dog. But the joke is funny and they stand by it.
