Show notes

This week we begin our final book of season 2: Stephen King's Masterpiece The Stand! We're chatting about chapters 1-9 of the novel in which we meet some wonderful characters that are definitely not gonna die to a superflu.

Ok, let's just get this out of the way. Scott for some reason said "phlegm" wrong in this episode. I don't know why. We don't wanna talk about it. Please don't send us 20 emails.

Discussion Question: If Captain Trips were real, what would you do? (You can't just answer 'die')

Next week, our coverage of The Stand continues with chapters 10-20. I really think they're gonna get a handle of this whole superflu thing
