Actually, I got to say Netflix with my Netflix special, Nocturnal Admissions, which is streaming now on Netflix. Everyone listening.

Nocturnal Admissions, my Netflix special is streaming now.

They were pretty good with letting me get everything in there.

But you also have in your mind when Netflix is talking to me about wanting to do my special, you know, and the beautiful thing is Netflix did not want my special before they saw it

because they go, we love Paul, but there's a lot of competition because I'm not, you know, like I'm not all over doing wild shit for followers.

Scott Peck wrote this book, The Road Less Traveled.

The Road Less Traveled.

The first line of that book is that love is effort.

And to understand that love is not that kind of adolescent infatuation, that's a wonderful feeling.

And it should be part of every relationship.

But the important part of love is recognizing that it means making the effort of...

And he said that his first feeling at that point was of extraordinary gratitude that he had landed on that thumbtack rather than the child finding it.

And, you know, to me that was kind of one of the first times I started thinking about what love really is.

Which is not, you know, just... Which is not something that is ego driven or self serving.

But something that is completely willing to put all of your ego and self will aside.

And to try to really do, you know, live to make the other person happy.

This is recorded in 1990 I believe and that's all he listens to that album. It's so okay my bloody Valentine

He would rear read just for fun a dose JF ski book. Oh that guy plays chess at night It seems like a blast

He goes. There's no way. I'm gonna like I don't like anything that's recorded after 1978 or whatever you know one of those guys and because this is recorded in 1990 I believe and that's all he listens to that album.

If we're gonna go Beatles then right yeah Paul McCartney's and people don't talk about Ram

I don't know it is it's his first solo whoa. It's so good Ram Ram. Yeah, yeah, okay?

And this is why I think people are gonna really like my book, Top Billing, is because I'm walking you through.

I need to listen to your album. I need to know producers you get.

You probably had to learn shit that you didn't like. I would've never known, bro. I didn't learn. Grunge was new. Like what the fuck is grunge? This shit is new.

So you're going to be cracking up and my voice and whatever. So what's the book again? It's Top Billing, Stories of Laughter, Lessons, and Triumph. And it's just really a great ride. Like, how our conversation is today was, I'm so happy I did this with you guys because you guys are amazing, man.

Yeah, and it's about just pushing through, man. Never giving up on yourself. I had a lot of setbacks in my life. I lost my mom, dad, brother. It was just crushing, you know what I mean? And you still got to figure out how to get through it and laugh and take one day at a time. You know what I mean?
