We tried to do a quick singing warmup before starting, but things immediately descended into total food and book chaos! Between getting lied to about office pizza, spilling tanning oil on a smutty novel, and getting trapped on a 30-minute family FaceTime call, we are completely unhinged today. You are not ready for this episode.
We kicked things off with a little pre-show vocal challenge that almost got us hit with a copyright claim right out of the gate. But the chaos didn’t stop there. Ash went on a $17 sushi run after being told there was no office pizza, only to drive back and spot pizza sitting right inside the building. That spiraled straight into a passionate discussion about warm pork crackling, specialty focaccia, and Rupert’s deep love for a fresh pair of Salomons.
Things took a turn when we started talking about our recent night reads, specifically Fourth Wing and the world of high-yearning smutty fantasy. We unpacked the utter embarrassment of accidentally ruining a friend’s horny book with tanning oil so bad it expanded the pages to look like lube, not to mention the trauma of accidentally playing a smutty audiobook out loud over a home speaker.
To top it all off, Rupert gave us a full debrief on his utterly stressful night. He was trying to fill out urgent paperwork, called a friend for emergency contact details, and accidentally got trapped in a 30-minute FaceTime dinner with a group of teenagers doing a "Pick and Pet" game. Between timed-out application forms, declined credit cards, and a total lack of Olivia Dean concert tickets, we’re keeping each other grounded the only way we know how.
