In the core of the show, the guys talk about The Sound and The Fury by William Faulkner. Bryce talks about how he tends to analyze his literature differently depending on how it's presented; overall, Caleb turned out to be much more observant and analytical through this novel, because of its notorious difficulty which completely disabled Bryce.
