Many moons ago a podcast's transcript was written, then lost to time, buried by catastrophe outside humanities control (Max and Mitch recorded a podcast and then didn't get a chance to edit it because of the hiatus). Now, the transcript is unearthed and released upon the world, coming at a time most dire (Max and Mitch messed up this weeks podcast so are releasing the recently edited lost episode to make up for a lack of content). Max and Mitch are primed to adventure and write as they swing their way into romance with a man who poaches bird in Romancing the Stone (1984). They then write some espionage books only to realise their imaginations are so bad that they can only write about real events in Argyle (2024).
