you- that episode is the whole reason that this book happened. Wouldn't have happened without-

I blurbed this book.

And so one chapter was my relationship with my dad. The second one was about returning a dish at the number one restaurant in the world, the day that it was crowned the number one restaurant in the world, which was true story.

It's an Amazon bestseller right now.

You have a book called, Undercooked, subtitled How I Let Food Become My Life Navigator, and how maybe that's a dumb way to live.

What's it about?

It's about food.

Yeah. Did it take over?

Yeah, I'm a big restaurant whore.

I'm a big foodie.

I'm all about that game.

And I played that game to its fullest.

And it left me unsatisfied, but I wrote a book about it.

And it's fun, like standalone essays about food.

I mean, I've been called the David Sedaris of food by my mother.

She's an immigrant, so she can hardly read.

Nice.

Yeah. But she liked the book.

She loved the book.

And did anyone who didn't give birth to you, they like it too?

Yeah. A lot of people.

It was a bestseller on Amazon.

Don't support Amazon though, right guys?

Buy it on bookstore.org.

Yeah. There you go.

Yeah.

That was the same person who said butt sex, by the way.

I love bookstore.org.

I love reading books and butt sex, and we're all out of books.

I'll bring my PCR copy of Stand By Me.

Everybody, check out Dan's book, Undercooked.

Undercooked.

There's an audio book too, which I read myself, which is an awful thing.

I highly don't, if anyone's doing a book, don't ever do that.

Because for two days, for eight hours a day, I was reading this book.

And it's very vulnerable.

I'm talking about very personal stories that I should be sharing with the therapist.

But instead, there's just this dorky sound engineer on the other side.

You're pointing at Steven.

Is that who you mean?

Someone like that?

Yeah, totally like a Steven.

He's like, Dan, I think you're crying.

Can you stop crying? We're hearing it on the mic.

Stop crying.

I'm like, OK, I'm sorry.

I'm talking about my dead brother.

The book is Undercooked.

When we come back, it's a funny book.

It's not just Dead Brother.

There's a little Dead Brother, but it's a funny book.

Just a touch.

Yeah, just a dash of Dead Brother.

A pinch.

Jesus.

Should we keep going?

Nope.

Dan will stick around for the rant wheel in a bit.
