Mookie Spitz brings you the next installment of the unhinged director’s cut you didn’t know you needed. In this series, he takes apart his novel Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine — laying bare the cosmic insanity, twisted characters, and philosophical rabbit holes that drive it.

This pod digs into Episode One: The Birth, where we meet Alice — a quadrillion-year-old Boltzmann brain born out in the frozen corpse of a dying universe. She's godlike, lonely, emotionally stunted, and decides the best use of her infinite power is to chase after Jonnie Fazoolie Junior, the biggest lovable moron across the Infiniiverse.

Why him? Because amid endless possibilities, she wants the one idiot too oblivious to care. It’s the ultimate cosmic “why do girls go for jerks?” scenario dialed up to eleven.

Mookie also peels back the layers on Penny Pitz, a Gen Z Ivy Leaguer riding the whiplash from crypto boom to billionaire fluff interviews, all while grappling with a culture that's sold her empowerment but handed her existential angst instead.

Through Penny, Mookie skewers gender dynamics, privilege, identity politics, and the hollow grind of modern success. Meanwhile, Alice is busy pulling puppet strings to get Jonnie and Penny to cross paths — all part of her grand, messy plot to build a machine that might finally let her connect with her chosen fool.

Mix in riffs on dark energy, thermodynamics, Roger Penrose, the collapse of the American male, and Mookie’s gleeful admission that he’s basically writing a Lewis Carroll-meets-Lolita fever dream with multiverse death stakes — and you’ve got a podcast that’s as absurd as it is sharp.

Heads up: If you haven’t read the book, this is spoiler napalm. For everyone else: pour a drink, settle in, and enjoy Mookie ranting about his creation like a mad scientist who’s way too amused by blowing up reality for the sake of an awkward love story.
