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.
