I actually read it before my brother told me about that book and then I saw it mentioned in Goodwill hunting.

A long time ago. I read that People's History of the United States, which was just way on the other side I was just like this is what really happened man, George, Washington Everybody loves him that guy had his fucking dick out man

You're supposed to read A People's History of the United States Memorize it and then do that globally before you can go out and start dropping references and shit

By the way, did you guys ever read that book that Stephen Wright wrote, Harold?

Two best books I read this awful.

Oh yeah, dude, that guy has a book out called Harold. You have to read.

Oh, it's like, I don't even know how to, what was I describing it as? Catcher in the Rye on mushrooms.

Like it is wild. It's a novel.

Everything doesn't have to make sense. Just look at the world and your life.

He remembered his grandfather telling him that there is no time and time is moving slow and fast all at once.

Time is moving slow and fast all at once he continued and the grandfather says a snail is taking tiny tiny steps on the armrest of a seat, a seat that's on a 747 cruise speed 580 miles an hour or the Concorde cruise speed 1,356 miles per hour. That's your life. You're a snail on a jet.

They also destroy other people's time by being upset over meaningful fucking bullshit.

This is like Catcher in the Rye on mushrooms is the only way for me to describe it but I actually like this character where I didn't like the character... in Catcher in the Rye because he was kind of a hipster douche.

I'm reading this book. Um, I finished Reggie Watts book and, uh, I got this book from, uh, I don't know who the fuck gave it to me. I'm getting into this one.

A fun book to hear you talk about that's been brought up on the podcast before is Catch 22. It's a very funny, it's a very funny satire punctuated by incredibly moving insight into the depravity and futility of war.

It also has cars, planes and whores. So you should have the ability to keep up just fine. The offer, the off offer, the author, J.R.R. Martin, the author, J.R.R. Martin, the author, J.R.R. Martin, The author, Joseph Heller

All right, Catch 22, dear shiny head Bill, I do have a shiny head, you know, and it's not because I'm bald, that's my personality shining through the top of my hairless head.

I was listening to try to explain the origin and meaning of Catch 22 and had to write in, yeah, I didn't, I had never seen the movie and I was unfamiliar, so thank you for writing in to set me straight here in the book.

The soldiers are required to complete a certain number of missions in order to be released from their duties from what I remember the missions are World War II bomber missions and are extremely dangerous and the shoulders so soldiers have to complete 40 of them.

If a soldier agrees to go on a mission, the soldier is labeled as clinically insane and they are not allowed to fly because no one in their right mind would agree to go on such a dangerous mission, if you don't want to fly then the officers agree that is the right response and they deem the soldier sane and tell them to fly the mission.

The book was originally titled Catch 18, but the offer changed it since a different World War II novel came out around the same time with the number 18 in the title, 22 was chosen because it has a repeating number, number similar to repeating events that happen in the book.

Catch 22 means you're fucked either way. Do I go left or do I go right?

The 1960s title of novel.

Comes from Joseph Heiler's 1961 classic novel Catch 22. A satirical depiction of the American military bureaucracy in World War II.

A catch 22 is a paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules or limitations.

Catch 22, which describes absurd bureaucratic constraints.

Bill Walsh, find the winning edge. I got to keep that, right?
