It is the most intense episode we have done on this show and it will not be for everybody. However, we stand by what we have createdWe strongly encourage you to reach out to us at @jacobaldente and @rachunabridged if you want to discuss this episode with us.Happy Halloween. Love each other, the world needs it.

For once, we have an accord in Lern' Summin'. We get into Celeste Ng's "Little Fires Everywhere" and it is (for once) a great time. Massive spoiler alert though. You can find the book at your local store (support small business, yo) or listen to it at audible.com/lern for FREE.

Bullet to Bird ratios are the talk of the town on this episode. Rachel and Jacob love Australia, we promise. But we hate butthole incidents

Jacob makes Rachel real annoyed and sad. Maybe next episode will be more entertaining. I promise.

Rachel learns about all the stuff that isn't terra-cotta soldiers, metal cone assassinations, and the Qin emperor's fascination with mercury.
