Season 4.5 Episode 4: Erotica

Drew is MAD at Nate. Talk about Canadian vs American snacks, getting read for LOCKER ROOM TALK and we find an erotic novel about Houdini.

## Episode Summary

Drew does all the work for the show yet again. Tom is bossy and reads some Houdini erotica. Nate tries to get out of doing any more work than the bare minimum. Plus, there is some Merch now!

The show starts with a debate about the future of Locker Room Talk (the show - not the episode from season 3.) The show is happening! See details below.

The hosts get into a discussion on candy, which they are all experts on.

RIP to Canadian GOAT Matthew Perry.

Nate was too busy working on Locker Room Talk to write up more BuzzFeed articles or blind items.

They mention some stuff about Racoons, which if you haven't already, sign up to the patreon for 5 dollars and watch Nate and Drew watch episode one of Racoons, that Canadian Cult Classic Cartoon!

Eventually, they discover some Houdini Erotica, written by Laney Samson, who has penned a series of books in which she travels back in time to have steamy encounters with famous people, notably Jesus Christ himself. Nate is a big fan.

Near the end, they briefly discuss the episode, which somehow was even worse than the last one.

They cover what they loved and hated, the latter greatly outweighing the former.

### Show Recap

The episode itself really tested the hosts limits.

> *""Spring Heel’d Jack" is directed by Daniel O'Hara, and like his In Manus Dei, it's another standout episode. The mystery this time plays out with a fair amount of action, some of it bloody, with nice themes running through, mainly the coming of the automobile and a suggestion that the reappearance of the demon foretells this "tragedy." In fact, a highlight of the episode is seeing Houdini and Doyle traveling in an early motor car (see more on this below)."*

## Get to know your Host(s)

Nate eats salt and lemon on his apples.

Drew doesn't like seeing others eat and get sweaty.

Tom is so easy to work with, he's punctual, and creative. He knows all the culinary tricks like Tajin.

Nate recounts the story again where he was drunk on tour shouting something along the lines of "I've just had 9 shots, 50 cent's got nothing on me" and then puking all over the tour bus.

Tom got alcohol poisoning once from drinking one bad beer and stopped drinking for 2-3 days.

Both Nate and Drew have claimed, many times, that Tom does nothing for the show.

## Locker Room Talk

Nate claims LRT was only to be about 10 minutes. But an exact time was never given when it was first mentioned in episode 1 of season 4.5.

Tom and Drew seem to think it was an hour at least, a whole new show with its own Patreon tier.

The price for the tier to unlock LRT will likely be anywhere between the *Bumble Bee* tier ($5) and *Business Doggies* Tier ($100.000,00)

The show will air 2 times per month.

Show features opening Prayer with special guest Creature Preacher.

## AMPDates

AMP is in the trash. King Lingle of LingleCorp has fully funded a Deadpool animated series.

It will NOT be Woke.

Plot points contain making the MCU un-woke, something with Laura Craft (voiced by MM).

Every episode starts with a daily prayer.
