While Andrew and Craig believe the joy of discovery is crucial to enjoying any well-told tale,

they will not shy away from spoiling specific story beats when necessary.

Plus, these are books you should have read by now.

With the other guests episodes we've done, we've just kind of gone into it and instead of

talking about, I don't know, chickens or whatever, we let you talk about yourself a little bit

because people already know who we are. Chicken talk is so good though. I kind of would be really

bummed if I was listening to it and then some random person's voice wasn't talking about whatever.

That should be the new tagline for the show. It's a random person's voice talking about whatever.

actually not how chickens work. It would have been a he would have been a rooster. That's the miracle.

The Christmas chicken. That's the miracle of Christmas chicken.

Here's frankincense, and I'm the third guy. I brought, yeah, I brought a male chicken.

It's my gift to the holy baby. That's what they call him, right? The holy baby. The holy baby, yeah.
