Wait what?!? An episode about a somewhat recently released book. Yeah, I know it's weird. But M had a lot of thoughts about An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. Many of which she had while she was stress eating tortillas....
As a result, M wants to talk about the things other people think of us, especially people we've never met. Mostly people we've never met. IDK, digital life is weird. She'll also talk about gluten free pad thai, attorneys, and nihilism. We're getting around in this episode.

Courage the Cowardly Dog [And the cowardly kid…]
Because she's free to talk about whatever obscure topic she wants, M dives into one of her favorite cartoons as a kid, the kind of show that has lingered with her in a way that some would say suggests trauma. But they just didn't understand that sometimes, life can be just as or more so upsetting.
Something a certain little purple dog knows all too well.
