Prior to the set, Katie and Maxx talk briefly about Maxx's history with stand-up comedy, his inspirations, and his plans going forward.(Audio recorded 13 October 2025 at Crunchie's in East Lansing, Michigan.)Music: "Storytime" by Maxx Joy ★ Support this podcast ★

It's a race against the clock this week, as Katie and Maxx barrel through The Flower Queen by Phenix Lynn, each with a heroic amount of edibles (consumed right before Maxx hit "Record") slowly kicking in. Whether they won or lost depends on how you feel about a married couple giddily recounting a smutty Thumbelina retelling!Book DescriptionLeena is a day away from marrying her best friend, King Obe.

A while back, Katie put the word out on Bluesky asking for book recs, and AS Adams said, "Hey, check this shit out!" and suggested their book "MILF: A Holiday Romance." We are grateful for their boldness, as this episode was a sexy and hilarious blast from start to finish!Book DescriptionAfter six months of late night feedings, dirty diapers, and a baby who’d rather be held than sleep in his crib, Daphne and Cooper Jones need a break. So when he books a romantic stay-cation at a luxury hotel for Mother’s Day, Daphne is thrilled she gets to shower in peace and maybe read a book that doesn’t include barnyard animals.But Cooper has one more than one surprise up his sleeve. He knows Daphne’s been harboring a secret fantasy and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make her dreams come true… with a little help from a friend.One night doesn’t seem to be enough to quell their mutual desires.

A certain neurodivergent producer/husband has an affinity for truth in advertising, so it should come as no surprise that Katie had a blast telling Maxx all about My Billionaire Boss Is A Vampire by Kate McDarris. All that was missing in the title was a "But" and then a comically long list of things they wanted to do to their boss. (Producer's note: Oh, just you wait...)Book Description"My boss is worth $42 billion. I just found out he’s a vampire...and I'm about to be his next snack."Alice has been crushing on her billionaire boss and there are definite vibes between them.

The trip to her new home on a space station can’t end soon enough; she’s more than ready to meet her alien husband.

Katie has longed to cover one of of Burd's books on the show, and the wait paid off big time, as it led her to this bonkers tale of demons, gods, and vampires getting up to no good.Book DescriptionA vampire and demon walk into a brothel, but they’re not looking for services. They’re looking for HER.Being a business owner and whore house madam has kept Maude very busy since her husband’s grisly death. She doesn’t have time for games or interruptions, but fate rarely gives us what we expect. One moment she’s minding her own business; the next, two extremely good-looking men come to offer her immortality. Making deals with demons can be tricky—she should have read all the fine print, or at least asked more about HIM.Now she’s faced with a vampire, a demon, and a god, all hiding in plain sight. What they ask of her will rock her to her very core. She needs to keep her head on straight and not let her new power—or the tempestuous god—seduce her.Brief Descriptions of Long Books: Only Between Us by Ellie K.
