Some of this just doesn't make any sense.

Here's the one I stumbled over, knowing about the presumptive feelings of this Klansman, okay, and their antipathy and hatred o- of Jews and religious persecution of Jews, okay? So here I'm reading The Education of Little Tree, and there's a guy that...

There's a storekeeper that treats these guys very well.

And one might look and be like, "Oh, of course they made the Jew the storekeeper." Okay? There's a storekeeper who's Jewish.

Little Tree overhears someone refer to him as a [censored] Jew, and mentions his stinginess.

Little Tree goes on to say, "Mr.

Wine was not stingy.

Hmm.

Here's more from Steve Rinella, and we're gonna get into something a bit more serious.

There's a thing we haven't looked into, which is the philosophy and viewpoints on poverty.

Almost everybody in this book is exceptionally poor.

Very, very poor, like cash economies of, of sub $1,000 annually.

When Little Tree and his grandpa go to sell their bootleg whiskey at a store, the storekeeper will always have Little Tree do an errand for him.

The storekeeper wants to reward Little Tree with a piece of candy, but he knows that he cannot give Little Tree a piece of candy for free.

So he needs to put it to Little Tree that he has expired candy.

Here's Steve bringing closure to this book.

That's next, after the break.

We have a blast every summer fishing, swimming, camping out, shooting bows, sitting around the fire.

Uh, last weekend we were floating the creek and then doing some metal detecting and we found what I believe to be a very old horseshoe.

It's all the best.

And if you're looking for the perfect companion to your summer adventures, try the refreshing citrus kick of Mountain Dew.

From its beginnings in the foothills of Tennessee, invented by two brothers back in 1948, Mountain Dew has been a constant, and they've got proud American roots.

It's an American original of citrusy goodness.

After the break, another American gets trapped in Turks and Caicos and ends up in prison.

... that started to catch, catch traction in the writing world, that started to shift, like, "Okay, now I can start supplement money, making a little bit more money"? Like, when did that momentum start in writing?

Yeah.

I, um, you know, the, there, there's a meritocracy to it, right? There's a, there's absolutely a meritocracy to it.

But there's also, like, a connections thing.

I got luckyThere's this, there's this writer, he used to be very pr-prolific writer.

There's this writer named Ian Frazier.

He wrote this phenomenal book about the American Great Plains called "Great Plains," where he just spent years cruising around on the Great Plains.

Mm-hmm.
