A retirement community tactical extraction. And Carl and Donut's first follower count drop — which means the dungeon just got a live studio audience. Oh, and they're on Late Night TV now. Because of course they are. ⚠️ Spoiler Warning: Full spoilers for Dungeon Crawler Carl — picking up where we left off last week.

Welcome back to Booked for Two — the book podcast where Scott and Gen drag you into the chaos one chapter at a time.

We meet a whole new crew of crawlers, including the mysterious Frank Q and a group whose AARP cards are definitely up to date. And then there's the Neighborhood Boss.

Chapters 8-17 of Dungeon Crawler Carl are here, and things are getting UNHINGED. Scott and Gen are back for another book chat deep dive into Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl — and this one does not disappoint. Carl and Princess Donut fight their first Neighborhood Boss, discover that mobs aren't even close to the most dangerous thing in the dungeon, and somehow find time to make friends with female goblins. One of them wants to be more than friends with Carl. He still doesn't have pants, by the way. Donut may or may not be a psychopath — we're going to go ahead and say she is — and let's just say there's a situation involving some eggs that we need to talk about. They also get a new ride, which is very exciting and we won't spoil it here. ⚠️ Spoiler Warning: Full spoilers for Dungeon Crawler Carl Chapters 8-17.
