We compare books. Hopes are raised and dashed. Determination grows. The stakes have never been higher. Shonen anime intro. Cyrus summons their smuggest expressions. Sarah gets really sheepish about the Resident Evil franchise. Both of us double down on a bad analogy. We soundproofed our recording area so successfully that when we lament a billion times about the volume of our chickens, you can't hear any of them.

The first month of the reading death match has passed, and your fighters are already at each other's throats. Sarah promises that this time she's really going to do it. Cyrus swears that everyone's hatred only makes them stronger. Who is in the lead? Who will end up full of knife wounds at the bottom of the stairs??? Only time will tell...

Ole Sarah needs a win, and by GOD she is going to get one. Or else she is making that everyone else's problem. In this episode, we hash out the rules for the contest that will finally tear us apart: Who Can Read More Books This Year. First half of the episode, we litigate exactly that that means. Second half of the episode? Establishing the stakes. Come 2027, this house might have a soft serve machine or PS5, but it will DEFINITELY have a homemade garden statue of one of us with the word "WINNER" underneath.
