I actually got a great book here. It says 88 Great Daddy Daughter Dates.

Protect her, defend her. Okay. She needs oh my god. How this is like

All right. How dumb would you have to be to read this fucking book?

Okay, one you are the most important man in her life. Chapter two. She needs a hero. Chapter three. You are her first love.

Chapter four teach her humility. Oh, she shouldn't stand there like LeBron James after he just blocked a shot.

Stephen's mother, mother is going to be at Barnes and Noble doing a book signing, um, a week from yesterday.

And he wrote that book, 'The Curse of the Babe'.

And it was just such a cop out where you just don't even address.

It's just was such a cop out.

It's just like, no, we were just a really bad franchise.

Bill Russell wrote some book basically describing how he made the guys around him on his team better and I was reading this Bill Simmons article.

It has as much soul as Michael Bolton and as much substance as a John Grisham novel.

How Bill Walsh wrote this book um you know the at the height of his you know just being like the Bill Belichick Vince Lombardi guy of his era he was approached to write a book on football and he wrote like like he basically showed the outline and he had diagram plays and it was like you had to be a coach to understand the book and the uh the publisher or whatever the the company he was doing the book with was basically like going dude you gotta like we can't put this book out like you got to be like a you got to be like a football coach to even understand any of this shit how about some pictures of you with Joe Montana how about some family stories and blah blah blah and he was just like no you want me to write write a book about football this is it right here.

and he just fucking put out this thing so the book bombed as far as not making money with just regular joes like even myself the amount of football that I watched but amongst coaches evidently that book became like a bible and if you can find like a hardcover version you find them on the internet they go for like three four hundred bucks or something like that and um whatever I was telling Jimmy that story and he was laughing thought you know it was funny or whatever and uh and I was joking going like you know I want to actually get that book maybe I'll finally understand the cover to defense or whatever the fuck is the nickel defense and that type of shit so sure enough like fucking three weeks later I get this package from Amazon it was from from him and he actually bought me the book and um I thumbed through it dude and I'm telling you it's like you you it's look you feel like you stole a team's playbook

it wasn't Mein Kampf.

It's a whole new perspective on the band And it's also like as he's really honest and he kind of shows like There's a couple i'm not I don't want to ruin the book, but there's a couple things he writes He goes yeah note note to people who are in bands

I'll just say one thing that he said if you have a bad show And you're having the band meeting right after the show a good thing Don't be the first guy in the band to leave

Because the finger pointing is going to start and if you're out there to defend yourself, it's gonna it's gonna come on to you

But like he has a couple chapters in there nia if I can just get you to look at me at this point

But I just I just read a letter that uh bondscott bondscott wrote fans Yeah Yeah yeah what I love about that That's the exact same sort of dirtbag shit that you do on facebook and myspace

Plato wrote in his classic work, 'The Republic', that all democratic people are consumed with unnecessary appetites.

So consider now you're a person with essentially infinite money, or more precisely, multiple billions of dollars, and what that money gives you access to.

If you got anything at any time, I suspect that if eventually you become bored, what is the one thing they can't buy?

I read that book, uh, about Bill Russell and Bob Cousy

And it's as much as it's about them and all the racial horrific stuff that Bill Russell had to go through.

It's also subtly a history of the NBA from the beginning right up until um, you know the end of Cousy and Bill Russell's careers

I read all of I Killed in 2006.

Well, you were trying to say interview with a vampire but you said the last days of Dracula

Guys, you know the fucking vampire and there's a little girl. It's a girl. I think

I got a book on Bobby Lane. I'm gonna read now.

I remember reading in that history of stand-up book that the guy fucking he was actually and this was a thing too because they never showed this in movies that there was like a a it was a minority of people a it was a minority but it was a large minority or so I don't know You know what I shouldn't even say that there was a lot of people that were pro-fascism that lived in America during World War two I didn't know that Okay I don't know a lot of things Okay so one night they want to have a rally After the fucking war ended they wanted to have a fucking rally I believe it was after the war ended the fascist and They needed a big name to get to sell tickets They had it at the original Madison Square Garden I believe I'm just saying this from fucking my bad memory So they had a night called the friends of Frank Fay Let me look this up here they had the friends of Frank Fay and this fucking idiot went down and he hosted the thing and You know that was there goes that career

I read this old book...The hell was one of those Robert McCloskey books and it's about the kid who plays the harmonica. There's some old guy in town was just an asshole.

Old sneak.

Whenever I grabbed the book Lentils the name of the book should just be like, I'll read me Lentil. I'll be like, Alright, and as I pick up the book, she look at me like, Oh, sneak. Not a good guy. Not a good guy.

And he had an absolutely incredible incredible incredible memory one of these guys that was literally memorizing the phone book

Guess what book I'm gonna buy everybody? Guess what book I can't recommend more during this fucking pandemic. I suggest that you go out and buy Ted Templeman: A Platinum Producer's Life in Music.

Well, do I need even need to read the book at this point?

He underwhelmed me as a performer.

I thought what am I going to do with this group if we sign them and the singer can't hold up his end of the bargain?

I hung in there with Dave thinking I'd find a way in the studio to accentuate his strength and minimize his weaknesses.

Now that I made fun of this guy this is actually really interesting and and now we may fairly take the comedian and place him by the side of the painter for he is like him in two ways First in as much as the comedians creations have an inferior degree of truth.

Yeah guilty as guilty as charged in this I say he is like the painter and he is also like the painter in being concerned with an inferior part of the soul and Therefore we shall be right and refusing to admit him into a well-ordered state Because he awakens and nourishes and strengthens the feelings and impairs the reasons the reason

This guy was a fucking idiot. This guy sounds like a conservative moron trying to shut down the arts

He's a man. I just called Plato a moron. I did he is a manufacturer of images and is very far removed from the truth.

But politicians are If you pick like I don't know what background he wanted more of a business background He goes if that shit doesn't burn I don't know what does much love and stay safe
