Tape 32 begins mid-conversation as usual, with someone attempting to introduce the mayor before getting sidetracked by vague mouth-based declarations. The bulk of the recording centers on an impromptu town council meeting about real estate agents coming to Bootstuck and the possibility of building 50 new homes. This is seen as “good for business,” though what business that is remains unclear.

The meeting quickly derails into a spirited debate over Bootstuck’s communal reading bulb, a single light source rotated between residents so they can read a few pages each. As expected, the addition of 50 new residents would strain the bulb-sharing schedule, and Dave—who controls the town’s only power outlet—is mentioned as the logistical bottleneck.
