This episode was recorded on September 17, 2025 and is being released late, because of an oversight.

Jim starts with an inane idea for a rewrite of the song Closer by Trent Reznor, and we move on to talk about album and book titles, Money Ball, and the Red Sox.

Jim mentions his time lurking on TikTok, noting the new atheist and deconstruction movements in the "live" forums on that platform. Lionel and Jim discuss the merits or lack there of in the deconstruction movement. Jim mentions Batcolyte aka Thrayle who has a forum in which people question their beliefs. Others Jim mention are Anna Stone and Radio Spencer.

Jim and Lionel explore possible titles for Jim's solo album and review his past album names.

The discussion continues with talk of fall foliage, apple picking, alcohol use, and retro computer keyboard fetishism.
