-game of pricks 

--season 1 finale montage badinage 

--things we can’t talk about; a final solution for goldendoodles; reddit pedants; lit critic lothario 

--We respond to a subterranean missive from an anti- fan with extremist prose style

--Unmentionable word leads into discussion re non-rhotic safe space of dunkin donuts

--Lauren bans disquisitions then proceeds to deliver a disquisition on Shakespearean pedophile code Little Rascals (1994)
