About this episode

In this episode, Mike Schubert and guest Dr. Steven Parra discuss chapters 51B–52 of The House of Hades, covering various topics including the NBA Finals and themes of friendship.

THE DOC IS (BACK) IN! Steven called dibs on these chapters long ago, for good reason, and I proudly present this episode made up of two recording sessions: one before the Knicks won the title and one after. HEAR THE JOY IN MY VOICE (AND IN STEVEN'S EVEN THOUGH HE IS A SPURS FAN). Topics include: causes of death, The NBA Finals, anti-Steven, OG Anunoby, distracted from eating, Adam West, dull knives, Texas summer, Star Wars Battlefront, Thor Ragnarok, Spider-Span, trash talk, Mike Jones, the 2026 NBA Finals, the 2026 NBA Champion New York Knicks, The Power of Friendship, humOUR, narration differences, Calypso’s humanity, Meddling Adults, and more!
