🎙️📚 John digs into Season 4, Episode 6 — a story framed by Michael telling Bad Janet about a crisis in the neighborhood that threatens the whole experiment. The trouble starts when Brent publishes a hilariously awful spy-golf novel, Six Feet Under Par: A Chip Driver Mystery, whose tone and content (racist/misogynistic passages and terrible prose) spark a backlash that exposes how fragile the group’s rehabilitation plan really is.

Simone refuses to lie and praise Brent at his book event, Brent lashes out, and Chidi becomes existentially rattled after seeing himself skewered on the page — while John learns Jason isn’t actually a monk, a secret that creates new complications for keeping the experiment intact.

Framed with Michael’s comic attempts to entertain Bad Janet, the episode mixes sharp satire, character fallout, and genuine jeopardy for Eleanor and Michael’s approach to “fixing” people. John breaks down the humor, the ethical stakes, and where this fraught, funny outing ranks in his Sitcom Rankings. Tune in to hear whether “A Chip Driver Mystery” is a clever course correction — or a catastrophic failure.
