So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and prepare for a not-so-great-rollercoaster of emotions and laughter.
Bonus points if you can count how many times we say 'raw dawg' and how many times Mal names a disease that isn't connected with the correct symptoms.

Unravel Me Chapters 43-48: Touch Depraved, a Male Linda Belcher & a Rat!
Welcome back to another episode of wild interpretations and hilarious character analysis as we dive into "Unravel Me" chapters 43-48. This time around, Juliette’s taking "touch-starved" to a whole new level – she’s practically touch depraved! She's always talking about touching someone.
Then, get ready for a comparison that might just be our best yet: Warner as a male Linda Belcher. Remember when Linda went full 'Blom'? That’s Warner in these chapters. He's blond, bold, and... a bit of a rat, selling out anyone to get ahead. But don't worry, we unpack all his rat-like charms in detail.
Amidst the drama, Kenji's covering for Juliette, Adam's spiraling further into his post-breakup vortex, and Warner? He’s still somehow managing to be the ultimate hot guy, despite his newfound status as our favorite rodent. How does he do it? We’ve got theories!
Join us as we navigate the complex emotions, betrayals, and unexpected twists in these explosive chapters. Grab your headphones, and let’s get started – this is one episode you won't want to miss! 🎤

Unravel Me Chapters 37-42: Short Kings
This episode short in title but huge in content! Ariel's at the front this time, guiding us through the twists and turns, including Kenji's rather unique approach to making friends (or should we say... drugging them? 😂).
Then, get ready for a montage of fighting. But wait, there’s a twist! Mal’s got this wild idea to cast our favorite "Twilight" characters in a hypothetical "Shatter Me" movie. Picture Edward Cullen playing Juliette's world, and you've got the gist. It’s as hilarious as it sounds, trust us.
And let’s not forget the main event: Warner’s height, standing proud at 5'9". In a world obsessed with towering heroes, we're here to celebrate our beloved Short Kings. Ariel puts it perfectly – not everyone needs to be a 7'8" faerie to steal the show. Warner, with his complexity and charm, stands tall (pun intended) among YA’s most captivating characters.
Humor, heart, and a healthy dose of appreciation for characters of all heights, this episode has it all. Celebrate our Short (er) Kings – because 5'9" isn't even short!
