      The twenty-two pages of television script said the following:

      Guy-Spell.

      Host: Guy Montelli.

      May 6, 2017.

      Season Three. Episode 96.

      "Welcome back to Guy-Spell. Guy Montelli here with best-selling, gay romance writer, Finnegan Wakeland."

      Guy stared into camera one, grinning like a Hollywood star with a slew of Emmy awards on his mantle at home. He looked exactly like Tab Hunter, one hundred percent, all the way: blond and beautiful, reeking of handsomeness. A daytime television superstar on the Pittsburgh-based, queer network, The Man Channel.

      Guy held up Wakeland’s new novel in front of his slim but muscular chest: two half-dressed firemen were kissing on its cover, silky yellow flames surrounding their embrace.

      "Finnegan Wakeland’s new novel is called Men Under Fire. Guy turned his view from camera one to his afternoon guest. Tell us what your trashy and fun book is about. Don’t shy away from any risky or tantalizing details, of course." Guy winked into the camera, playing with his live and television-viewing audiences, always grinning and obviously enjoying his job.

      Finnegan Wakeland hated to do interviews and only agreed to be on Guy-Spell because it was part of his contract with Haymann Books. He looked down at his lap more than he did at Guy, and the three cameras focused on the stage. He didn’t smile. Frankly, the thirty-eight-year-old Irishman resembled an ogre on my monitor, bulky, fatty, unmemorable, and charmless.

      He grumbled to Guy, Two firemen meet at Station Eleven in downtown San Francisco. Neither know the other is gay. Both become tied up in a slew of lies, secrets, and lust. One loses his job. Then Wakeland fell flat on his face during the interview and mumbled, It’s fluff on the beach stuff. Third-grade reading. Any retard can read the thing.

      Guy experienced many bad interviews during his four years on The Man Channel. He flashed his toothy grin, gasped, and played off Wakeland’s upsetting and rude comment with, Stop, Finny. Just stop! The book is steamy-hot and delicious. Let me read page 182 for our watchers. It’s pop-up stuff!

      Assistant director, Neil Carmen, had objected to Guy reading anything from Wakeland’s book because they would probably have to bleep out Wakeland’s mouthy and vulgar characters and XXX narration. But Neil realized the interview was a giant flop, and he let Guy do what he wanted, having worked with him for the last three years on the show. If anyone could make lemonade out of lemons, Guy was the man to get the job done, especially since Wakeland had been inappropriate and politically incorrect during the live show.

      Guy opened the book and started reading, toying with every word, over-acting, …Kenneth’s wet, hulking chest dripped with water, falling over every finely sculpted abs and…

      Bleep him, Neil said into his headset to his audio man, Chett Kelper. It’s getting nasty on stage.

      Guy kept reading.

      I reviewed the small monitor in front of me and heard exactly what the audience and viewers would hear in six seconds.

      "Bleep…hard…bleep…goosepimples along his throbbing muscles and bleep hanging between his…bleep."

      Then I
