    Episode 14: A Clown that Sings (Self Roasts)

    Episode 14: A Clown that Sings (Self Roasts)

    It's time for introspection! In a bid to prove how unqualified we really are, we both picked out a handful of pieces of literature that we ourselves wrote in our earlier years. Cameron picked some stories he wrote at the tender age of 7, while Jacob selected some poems from his more emotionally-fraught high school days. Take a dive into the inner machinations of our grade school minds while we remind ourselves that some things are better left buried.

    Along the way, we'll learn how to dispose of 35 adopted brothers, how not to use onomatopoeia, and how to ruin your valentines day in spectacular fashion.

    Page Burners | Episode 13: Yes Okay Spider Sex ("The Spiderses")

    Oh boy, here we going fanfictioning again! This week we're looking at "The Spiderses" by Argembarger, a short satirically bad My Little Pony fanfiction that sets the standard for fanfiction everywhere. Join us for a full read of this touching story of change, heartbreak, and loss that is the literary equivalent of having a stroke!

    Along the way, we'll learn about Cameron's fear of God's end-credit stats screen, the dangers of unprotected spider sex, and the best way to insert yourself into your own fanfiction!

    Note: This episode contains mild sexual themes and as such is not recommended for kids.

    Page Burners | Episode 12 - A Letter from the Master Servant of Lucifer ("The Best of Roosh Volume 2", Part 4)

    Alt-Right pickup-artist Roosh V. has a treat in store for us in the form of a letter from the Global Elite detailing a conspiracy against humanity that he definitely, totally, certainly, 100%, maybe, positively didn't write himself and present as real! We are quite literally tearing through to the end of "The Best of Roosh, Volume 2". After all, we have to finish it before the grand robot army of the Global Elite is finished!

    Along the way, we'll discuss how the barbarians are here to solve our sterile existence, how feminism is actually the invention of some rich white men who wanted to dunk on Jesus, and how there's no incorrect way to rip it.

    Note: Because of the nature of this book and author, this episode contains discussions of misogyny, racism, and rape. As such, this episode is not for kids.

    Page Burners | Episode 11 - Stop Rejecting Me, It's Not Hot ("The Best of Roosh Volume 2", part 3)

    Congratulations to the man who listens to this podcast, for he is probably not petitioning for rape to be legal. Also, congratulations to women, because they deserve some for putting up with the antics of men like alt-right pickup-artist Roosh V, who's hot takes bring on the murder vibes in his second compilation of blog posts, "The Best of Roosh, Volume 2"!



    Along the way, we'll discuss how the sight of female skin is a serious problem, the six stages of involuntary celibacy, and what an "empty penis pipeline" is. 



    Note: Because of the nature of the book and author, this episode contains some sexually explicit language and serious discussions about rape and misogyny. As such, this episode is not for kids.

    Page Burners | Episode 10 - An Epidemic of Thirsty Men ("The Best of Roosh Volume 2", part 2)

    As every pick-up artist will tell you, the best way to get laid is definitely to... take away the basic human rights of all women? Join us as Roosh V attempts to roll back a century of society progress in under one hour in a neanderthal's guide to women!

    In this episode we'll discuss how apparently the Handmaid's Tale was a suggestion and not a warning, how it is okay to fart during The Notebook, and how World War 3 will be a blessing to the "seduction community".

    Page Burners | Episode 9 - The Sociological Term is "Not Awesome" ("The Best of Roosh vol 2", pt1)

    Have you ever wanted to pick up women, but also hate women? Then we've (unfortunately) got the handbook for you! We had to bring in a friend to help us make sense of the shockingly crass and horribly misogynistic compilation of the supposed "best" of Roosh Valizadeh, a pick-up artist that we hope we never have to meet.

    Along the way, we'll discuss why it's apparently a bad thing for women to have their basic human needs met, how being a sociopath is the fastest path to getting laid, and how to escape from such a person's closet!
