Cussler Hustlers
Two strangers, American and Canadian, go through EVERY Clive Cussler novel, from a (hopefully) modern progressive viewpoint. They also get off on tangents and talk about BETTER books, but there’s so much to love with these nerdy macho time capsules.

We did it! We made it! THE END OF NIGHT PROBE! Clive is making up for lost time with a finale that kills half the named characters and two-thirds of the NPCs. Dirk commits several acts of international terrorism, which is what heroes do. Heidi gets her happy ending. The world finally figures out what to do with Canada, and absolutely no copyright laws are violated.

Pitt finishes killing everyone around him in Canadian waters, so he heads back to New York to kill some Yankees. More drunk, hairless sex. More side quests into weird history. A ghost attack and an impromptu bout of dinner theatre gives Dirk his final epiphany. Men would rather destroy democracy than go to therapy.

Things are happening fast and furious now.... though since it's in Canada, we're still polite and travelling at a sensible speed. The NUMA team makes a lot of progress on the Empress of Ireland, until it blows up and everyone dies. Brian Shaw regrets working with Foss Gly, until he blows up and everyone dies. Honestly, Dirk Pitt should come with hazard labels. Also, Heidi makes coffee. Join us, won't you?

The book is moving fast and furious now! Dirk beats up a high-ranking politician. Heidi has buyer's remorse. Robot suits fight underwater zombies. Giordino fights a ghost train. Brian Shaw is an anti-masker. Clive gets real thirsty about some boats, trains and automobiles. Perhaps most important, BOTH OUR MICROPHONES WORK PROPERLY! Hallelujah!

MORE politics! MORE murder! MORE inappropriate sexytimes! Now with 90% less Dirk! North America is coming apart at the seams, and two extremely hairless men are doing everything they can to make things worse. However, it is the opinion of this show that if this book needs anything, it's more Foss Gly.

It's doodlebug shenanigans time! Dirk taunts a hostile military superpower and gets his butt torpedoed, Sandecker extols the health virtues of smoking, Giordino mourns his heterosexual lifemate's passing, and then Quebec becomes even more powerful than you could possibly imagine. It just like me, fr fr.

Due to continued problems with both microphones and brains, this is a slightly shorter episode. Everyone's playing silly buggers, the oil crisis gets worse, Canada is coming apart at the seams... so one of our villains decides to poke the biggest god damn schoolyard bully on the planet. I'm sure things will go well for him!

Retired spies. Abusive archivists. Double agents. A squash game that might lead to armageddon. Clive is putting a LOT of pieces into play here, so much so that you might forget Canada even exists, all tucked away down there. Heidi gets some Top Secret Dirking, and then asks him for help with her homework.

In the thrilling, gripping finale to this tale of false-flag international apocalyptic bioterrorism, Dirk gets ANOTHER concussion and wakes up just in time to remember that the hero is supposed to win. We introduce a couple new characters, get confused by the laws of thermodynamics, and almost cure racism!
Additional News: Due to extreme weather and travel schedules, we might be going back to releasing every two weeks for a little bit. Apologies to everyone in advance, but to quote our favorite podcast, you get what you pay for.
