Welcome to what we fear may be our most chaotic episode yet, and join our debrief after the collective crashout that occurred on the first Monday in May. Is there any sort of structure to this episode? Barely. Did we debate whether it was wise to even release this episode? Absolutely. The delirium was high, please forgive us. Saddle up.
PS: we left an addendum at the end of the episode to discuss the smoking video. It was important to us.

Drumroll please: This weekâs Hyperfixation Hotline Yap is with none other than Ruby Barrett, romance author and one half of the infamous Loon Call podcast. Sheâs coming in hot with the best craic.

We chat about everything from our unshakeable Heated Rivalry obsession, her journey as an author, latest controversies in the fandom and distinguishing the difference between being chased by a lion and interviewing Jacob Tierney. Saddle up and mind the gap (will become clear when the episode is digested).
