Mookie Spitz — your bald, blissfully shameless guide — dissects his own novel, Jonnie Fazoolie & the Transfinite Reality Engine, by reading it out loud like it’s group therapy. This isn’t your typical sleepy audiobook or pompous author podcast. It’s a front-row seat to watching a man gleefully pick at the scabs of his deranged fiction.
In this twisted installment, Jonnie Fazoolie— a washed-up extreme sportsfluencer, crypto bagholder, and full-time hallucination — tries to outrun his financial oblivion across the neon rot of Cancun. What could possibly go wrong for a man who checks 4chan for life updates, guards $62 million in lost bitcoin behind a forgotten pin, and places his faith in Somali pirates and meth-induced enlightenment?
Listen as Jonnie's attempts to brute-force his crypto wallet escalate from electron microscopes to Israeli black box psychics to undergrads he once road-tripped through Muir Woods with (in more ways than one). Meanwhile, his only real constant is BS, a judgmental black cat with white mittens who probably has more savings than he does.
Then there’s Mamacita — a tender, trash-talking, card-swiping trans escort who ends up rolling Jonie around in a wheelchair while his cat rides shotgun in a basket. Between casino scams, meth jags, indecent exposure arrests, and a biblical towel-popping baptism in their hotel shower, Jonnie and Mamacita spiral into a romance that’s half fever dream, half cartel hostage situation. By the end, even Jonnie's daydreams of running a seedy beachfront bar implode under the weight of his own incompetence.
So if you’re into watching a deluded antihero clutch his Trezor like a holy relic, bullshit his way through paradise, and lose every last peso (with the irony that he once thought this trip would save him) — congratulations. This podcast is your next guilty pleasure. Stick around to see if Jonnie ever finds his seed phrase, his dignity, or new ways to humiliate himself.
Tune in. Laugh, cringe, maybe wince. It’s Mookie. It’s Jonnie. It’s a catastrophic joyride, and tomorrow only promises more delightful wreckage.
