Welcome back to Razzlefrat! This week, we’re the dog in the meme saying “this is fine” as the world literally burns and covers NYC in toxic orange smoke. And, because we’re masochists, apparently, we rub salt in the wound by discussing the first half of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. As it turns out, the behemoth has some interesting insights, but we need whomever called it “uproariously funny” to be so fucking for real. Be sure to follow us in between episodes on our booksta accounts @grapes_of_ash and @theresinkonmyhands and also our joint account @razzlefratpod! Until next time, we bid you farewell. xoxo, Razzlefrat
