Eric KissackGUEST

Eric KissackGUEST
So there's like, you know, I didn't, I did not edit this episode, but there's an episode where he gets really drunk and then like, he just becomes like Nicolas Cage, but it makes sense.

Amor TowlesGUEST
And AI could create a version of that book instantaneously.
