| Fyre Fest of BookTok with Ashley Ray | 15 Sep 2026 | 01:28:43 | |
BookTok used to be the place where readers went to argue about their favorite authors, ship the gays, and learn which creatures their friends were sexually attracted to, and now, like all good things, it's being used to scam. Writer and comedian Ashley Ray joins Laci to discuss the Fyre Fest of book link-ups. A shared cabin, no food, in the middle of the wilderness could be a good time if properly funded; instead, it left a pack of women and one very nice male author hungry and feeling ripped off. Will there be justice or a second round of schemes?

Laci is joined by the hilarious Jay Jurden in this extra long episode exploring the heist of a Nicolas Cage film from a flash drive someone left on a desk.
