In this episode of Read & Roast, Jimmy, Curtis, and Shira unpack Chapter 10 of Echoes of Fate—and somehow end up talking about everything from luxury donkeys to ghost actors. No, seriously.
As Assim recovers in a Polish hospital, he finds a rare moment of peace—hooked up to heart monitors, surrounded by loved ones, and finally getting some sleep. But just when things start to calm down, his memories take us back to Darfur, where TVs didn’t work but were still proudly displayed like status symbols, and where watching Bruce Lee powered by a car battery was the event of the decade.
The gang cracks up over childhood movie confusion (why is the guy who died last night in this movie too?!), the hype over a majestic donkey breed, and the culture shock that comes from living between wildly different worlds. It’s a story about growing up, shifting dreams, and finding joy in the little things—even when life feels heavy.
