This Is Important

You don't read fucking Arthur?

Terrible cover. Equally terrible book, right?

The book sucked ass, right? Can we agree?

I hated The Great Gatsby. It's a terrible book.

I loved the movie. I thought the movie was fantastic.

The Never Games. The Hunger Games.

And also like the fact that Die Hard was a book first.

Don't miss the full season of FX's epic limited series Shogun.

I watch it. I love it, dude. It's set in feudal Japan. Shogun tells the story of one warrior in the fight of his life as a mysterious European ship arrives in Japan.

Ten Commandments.

Did he write The Little Mermaid is possible

The Emperor's New Clothes we all know that better. Oh that one's actually really cool.

That's where he just has public nudity. Yeah, he's all but naked.

That's when you just turn on CNN and they're all like it's just the Emperor's new clothes

He wrote World According to Garp and I bet it's awesome.

But what the hell is that? What the fuck even is that?

So it was basically like where the sidewalk ends but like with a Christian undertone or something like...

Where the sidewalk ends. Yeah, Shel Silverstein.

I'm pretty sure I gave your daughter that book, mother fucker, so back down.

And so was Jaws.

Outsiders maybe? Probably not. No, they made me read that one. Outsiders was sick.

Guys, this might be a dumb question and maybe you guys can help me out. Do you guys remember Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul, the book?

Chicken Soup for the Soul. Was that what it was called?

Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Dude, that shit just hit the back of my mind. I feel like they made one that was like Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul.

It was like... I don't know if they were all considered Christian because there was a chicken soup for the Christian soul as well.

Yeah, it was a Shoe Dog.

I listen to the audio book when I am out on my bike rides.

It's fucking awesome. It's all about the creation of Nike.

Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman, who was the track coach for Oregon, who he coached pre Fontaine and then Phil Knight before that and started Nike with him.

It's really interesting. Yeah. And I don't read. So when I read something and it's good, I won't shut the fuck up. It blows you the fuck away. I mean, what do was making shoes in a waffle iron? Like literally. Literally, mate. Literally. That's fucking cool.

Y'all ever seen that fucking shit?

I believe it's based on a book.

Stevie King.

Like back in the day I used to read Hell of Goosebumps. Have we talked about Goosebumps on the show? Like I used to fucking crush a Goosebumps book in a day or so. He's the best.

I think it- like I remember it was like what came from beneath the sink or something like that.

R.L. Stine, give him his flowers. He's probably- I haven't checked up on R.L. Stine. I've got a feeling maybe he's not a good person or something. I'm just guessing.

Finger blasting keeps popping up. R.L. Stine's Goosebumps- or is R.L. Stine the one who writes Goosebumps?

Hey, they did remake Goosebumps, right? With Jack Black. And Jillian. Wasn't Jillian in it? Jillian's in it too. I need to see it.

I'm sorry, Jillian. If you do indeed listen to our podcast, I would like to apologize right now that I haven't. And Jack Black. I'm sorry. I have not seen Goosebumps yet.

I don't remember anything.

They did a universe where he's in charge of all of the R.L. Stine characters. Yes. And Jack Black plays R.L. Stine and he has something in his desk that can open the portal and let all the monsters out into the town.

So all the classic characters are used in the flick. That's the whole move now.

I just love Goosebumps with a majority of my heart. I think it was a dope ass thing for me to do in fourth and fifth grade and I blazed through them.

I like that one. I like Camp. I like the scary camp one. You remember that one? Okay. Not real. I'm sure there is one.

I do actually remember the cover of the camp one. It was a camp counselor with a whistle and he's got a weird smile on his face. The covers were off the chain. The covers. I didn't read the fucking books.

What about fucking, do you remember this Say Cheese and Die? Absolutely. I remember that. Sure. I remember the cover. The camera.

Yeah, it was like the family at the barbecue and they're all skeletons and it's like a Polaroid.

It's got to be spooky. This is a business.

It's for kids, but it's fun. Fun movie.

The Giving Tree?

It was like that and Phantom of the opera just switching back and forth.

On my dating profile, I had something about being a fan of Nebraska-era Bruce Springsteen.

I'm more of like a Richard Scary Busy World guy. Okay? I don't get into the dark arts.
