Dan, I know you like American Psycho. It's one of my favorite films. One of the greatest dark comedies ever made.

When I was a kid in high school, American Psycho was released, that book.

American Psycho is on brand.

Once a Trex came through here in Jurassic Park to the Lost World, they just decided, we're not going to build anything back up.

This has been an interesting segment to see play out, given the Pulitzer winners here that have been the driving force behind this. It's like that scene in Jurassic Park. This is unbelievable. Brought the two archaeologists in to be on my side, and the only guy that's on my side is a blood-sucking lawyer. Why is Dan on an island?

Follow the money. That was the great lesson from Deep Throat in the movie version of ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. I don't think that happened in real life, but it was a great line that the screenwriter came up with.

Shut it down, Roy. Is because they aren't getting reimbursed from the federal government for the half a billion plus dollars that have been spent. But the question is, where did that money go? As they said in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, the movie, not the book.

Thursday, The Odyssey is coming out. Are you into The Odyssey?

I think it's a great story, a great cast, a great director. These are the hallmarks of something that's going to be a great movie.

I'm excited for The Odyssey though, Zaz.

Oh, don't even get me started yet on The Odyssey. I'm seeing The Odyssey next week. Obviously, I'm seeing it opening night. I always see a movie on opening night.

Have you read Terry Pluto's Loose Balls? It's a book about life in the ABA back then. It is an excellent depiction of that book.

because here's what I found. I was just in London as part of the London series and then releasing the book Why We Love Baseball in London. It was great.

the holdup is Jason Kander because Jason Kander promised signed copies of his book and he hasn't sent them to me yet.

I mean, there's one book called Football Manager Stole My Life and it cites a 2012 statistic that football manager was cited as a significant factor in 35 divorce cases that year.

And that's just it seems the tip of the iceberg in terms of how obsessive lots and lots and lots of people are about this enterprise.

Yeah, counting Fins at 50, which I don't really count.

Dolphin historian as well. The author of a Dolphins book. Fins at 50.

We've been over David McCullough's wonderful book on the flood.

Have you guys ever read David McCullough's epic about The Johnstown Flood? Great book.

It is excellent, but there is a lot of, there's a lot of hills in that area, Dan.

Looking back to AJ Brown reading a book on the sideline after a game, do you look back at that and think, okay, that was ridiculous?

But he does it all the time. You know, he tries to find ways to keep himself in the game.

And, you know, that's just the way the game flows. It always changes. And I think that's just a way that he found that he can stay calm, stay in the moment.

It was cool to see everybody else buy the book and all the, you know, he even brought it out at the Super Bowl, which was pretty funny.

I think about things like, you know, the book of Job. Where in the book of Job, there was a natural testing that happened all throughout the entire book.

The other guy has a book about character.

No Country for Old Men taught us this important lesson and you guys are ignoring it. Anton Chigur asks, heads or tails? The guy behind the counter at the gas station, the old man says, heads. We know he lives. Their message is that's the optimistic way to go. That's what you want. If you're calling tails, then you're a cynic. You expect things to come ass up. Don't bet tails. It fails.

The Reacher, Jack Reacher was just oneoff. No, Jack Reacher had sequels. No, it was a Jack Reacher.

I read the Stoics. I read Marcus Aurelius. I read a lot of kinds--because there were a lot of smart people back then. And I think a lot of it resonates now. It's timeless.

does Dave Damshek's wiener look like Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining? 96% of the audience says, yes, and those are your polls.

We should just report that there's some deeply cancellation worthy book on this fake shelf. You know, there's a fake Mein Kampf on this fake shelf.

We were all four of us. I was about to say that, but he took it. We were all going to yell Mein Kampf, but I didn't want the consequences of that.

I hate Nazis. Man, we almost yelled Mein Kampf earlier in the hour.

It's definitely Lord of the Flies.

I was going to illustrate Dante's Divine Comedy, all 100 cantos or chapters. I was going to do 100 works on each of the 100 cantos, and it would be a 25year project. It began two days before Easter 1975, before everybody here was born. It was supposed to end on Easter the year 2000. And I made it as far as the third canto.
