About this episode

Jessica and Francis discuss their recent losses in Kalshi bets, online hate for The Alchemist, and Jessica's neighborhood disputes.

#55: Two Weeks??? Francis and Jessica lost their "freeze the rent" Kalshi bets. That's ridiculous! So what's the deal with all the online hate for The Alchemist? Meanwhile, Jessica's search for information on The Poetica's far left turn resulted in a new online argument with neighbors :). Let's hope Jessica finally bought her lottery ticket after FOUR birds dropped some poo on her head.
