Michael and Ethan continue discussing Nobber, by Oisin Fagan, while drinking The Midnight Silkie (Michael) and Red Locks (Ethan) Irish whiskeys.

In this episode:

Michael forgets, for the second time in four episodes, to call for Karen to read the rules. Rude. Good thing Karen just came in and started reading them

A real SCAREcrow, or, a murdered murder

Who is the greater fool, the fool or the fool who calls the fool a fool?

Pinning down the black box that is the murder of crows

Nobber is hell (?)

Nobber is colonialism (and colonialism is also hell, so…)

Palimpsests of colonialism, how’s that for some English-major talk?

Ethan gets to say vampire words a bunch of times
