Peter and Colter kick off the new format with a simple question, what piece of storytelling is meaningful to you right now?
It’s a mouthful of a question but we specifically worded it this way to take the pressure off of trying to name your favorite X or the best Y. Sometimes you are in a moment where one piece of art is taking up all of your brain space. We all have those moments where something is our favorite thing at that moment even if it won’t be in a few years/months/weeks.

The Lads read scary stories, such as W.W. Jacobs' classic "The Monkey's Paw" and talk about the new movie, Dune.

Colter and Pete discuss Kyrie Irving, live music, the Delta variant, the worst Rite Aid, and why Joe Biden won't just force everyone back to work already?! This is the REAL tyranny!
