In two episodes, Stephanie Soo discussed the book written by Jeffrey Dahmer's father, noting that it detailed the family's history and his reflections on his son's crimes while sparking controversy and lawsuits from victims' families. She mentioned that the author donated part of the proceeds to those families and expressed uncertainty about inherited traits versus upbringing, but overall the conversation treated the title as a contextual source rather than a recommendation.
