Improv scene: Charlie's first parole meeting
As a comedy bit, the hosts act out the first parole meeting between McKenna the parole officer and Charlie the parolee from Shackled Heart, with Crystal judging how close they get to the real book. The improvised scene derails: Charlie claims a job with 'Ted over at the auto shop,' McKenna reveals Ted died six months ago, and a stray dog follows Charlie into the office and makes a mess. Crystal's verdict: there IS a dog in the book, just not at the meeting — and there really is a metaphor about cleaning up a mess. The host jokes about releasing the novel on WikiLeaks as a 'secret document' for publicity.
