Love: Redwall

Andy takes his love time this episode to bring up a childhood favorite, Brian Jacques Redwall series. He discusses its broad, sweeping chronology, ambiguous but awesome use of animal characters, and how ity taught him to love huge, contained universes. Alex, meanwhile, asks about he dark stuff, like torture, and defends showing kids mature content.

Hate: Gun Culture

Alex tips his hate to friend of the show, Katie, on this one, who provided both the topic suggestion and a copious amount of research for it. HE begins with his own, proudly complicated take on guns and culture, delves into its varied and largely problematic and examined facets, and takes a moment to talk about suicide. Andy, meanwhile, recalls shooting as a boy scout, and everyone agrees that Charlton Heston sucked.

Relationship: Rocko

In arguably the weirdest Relationships.txt question the podcast has ever found, someone writes in for advice on their spouse converting a segment of their home into a retro Taco Bell booth. Andy talks about split finances, Alex recs moving on and reestablishing boundaries after learning that your partner is weird as hell, and there are surprisingly few jokes about chihuahuas.
