Chad and Brian go it alone this week, and prove that even the most claustrophobic sections (trigger warning for anyone who grew up with hoarders) of J R\u00a0<\/em>are also riotously funny. They also don’t understand money or business, but no one else in the book seems to either . . . There’s also a lot of talk about Gibbs’s footwear issues.<\/p>\n

This week’s music is “Laugh Track<\/a>” by Ben Hopkins, one of the greatest songs of 2020.<\/p>\n

If you’d prefer to watch<\/em> the conversation, you can find it on YouTube<\/a> along with all our past episodes<\/a>. You can watch the next episode on Wednesday, January 27th<\/a> where you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, make comments, or correct inaccurate statements. Here’s where you can find the complete reading schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n
