Oh, who is that! With the shiny, new coat of paint? Omg are those OS updates?
We are so back. True to our word..... (IT'S FALL!) Alley and Brett are back for an all-new season to dissect the second installment of Cixin Liu's Hugo-Award Winning Scifi Series, Rememberance of Earth's Past with Book II: The Dark Forest.
We're recouped, rehabilitated, reacquainted, and ready to do some MORE world building. Buckle up.
We missed you! Welcome back.

IN THIS HOUSE WE BELIEVE:
• ALIENS ARE REAL
• DAVID GRUSCH IS A HERO
• JFK DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF
idk you guys, could just be me, maybe it's residual, post-eclipse season chaotic energy, but this week we're kinda on one 😈
For this episode you'll need one 12x17" piece of aluminum foil. Fold that into a triangle shape, now place it on your head. Now flatten the tinfoil all around your crown to block any unnecessary 5G LTE radiation from disrupting your energy field.
Ok.... now that you're officially a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist, this week we're talking NASA's overdue UAP report, mummified extra-terrestrial remains (we're talking >1000 years mummified....) dead-eyed selfies, and a new facial dance move you'll just have to see Alley perform to believe.
And in our chapter recap, pull out a flowchart or cut out some flash cards because THE CATEGORY IS..... NEW CHARACTER ALERT. Don't worry, we'll ease you into it. Deep breaths.
luv u

This week, while Brett and Alley nearly get into 10 different arguments, we wonder.......
A. who do you think would win
-and-
B. Do YOU want to escape this terrifyingly bleak existence on a planet dying from our own inaction? Do you DREAM of the stars and the cosmos? Would you LEAVE everything you know behind for a chance to break FREE? (assuming we're allowed to stay free......)
Then have we got a ticket for you.... 🎫
This week the world is being plunged into chaos as a new ideology pops up, threatening the status quo and sowing discord among all the people of Earth. And for once we don't mean political terrorism. No, this week we face the newly-emerged, very real threat........of Escapism.

Oh we are so back. Did you miss us? We missed u.
This week we're debuting a new segment, By The Way, Mommy, where we just generally catch up over everything that peaked our interest from the past week. Can't make any promises, but there's high potential for it to be absolutely unhinged.
In our recap of The Dark Forest we're taking a little whirlwind tour, so buckle your seatbelts and make sure your tray tables are folded away and your chair is in the upright position. Clandestine Ops, The Men in Black, Heavy Security, and steeeeeeeamy military fanfic await.
Don't say we didn't warn you.

Γειά σου! Or, if you don't happen to know Greek, hello! This week Alley is freshly back in the US after the annual family-wide Greek getaway; she tells us about sunny beaches, spinach and feta pies, sharp objects, and something everyone can relate to whether or not you've been to Greece...... Family Vacation Drama™️.
Then, in our recap of The Dark Forest, Brett tries his absolute hardest to keep his eyes from rolling all the way out of his head. Luo Ji is still on the PJ being escorted somewhere by fighter jets, and the destination is nowhere in sight.... So, how best to spend your time when you're exhausted, haven't slept in a week, and have been kidnapped to a private jet bigger and better outfitted than most 5-star hotels? Sleep, Pine longingly over your long-lost ex....duh! Who needs sleep when I've got all this REGRET!

This week Brett and Alley try their best to get through it while under a plant's infuence.... We've got it all this week, an inside source to government submarine operations (sort of), meeting your girlfriend's parents for the first time in context, and a hotly debated return of Big if True!
In our recap of Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest, Luo Ji finally arrives at his destination, and thank f*@k, because his legs were getting tired cooped up in the cheap seats. We've got some scientists at NASA learning the hard way that science often comes at the expense of "National Security", and a terror attack exposes for the world to see the ETO's plans of Trisolaran Supremacy on Earth.
What else could go wrong, you might be wondering?
Well, dear listener, haven't you learned by now the limit doesn't exist?
