I’ll soon be ordering this. The prologue has officially lured me in. Looking forward to reading it.

[...] from emerging writers. For those who prefer the longer form, there are novel excerpts (such as the prologue to Greg Olear’s Totally Killer), and weekly installments of a novel by J. E. Fishman, Cadaver [...]

You’re so wrong, Greg. The ’90s inspire an inordinate amount of nostalgia in me. I was 5 in ‘91 and G-d that was a good year. Plus. “Empire Records”? “Reality Bites”? “My So-Called Life”?

This is so so good Greg. I just can’t say enough about it.

The game show!!! I forgot too.
We clearly need our own network to cover all of these show.
Maybe we could convince Oprah to finance our network.
I hear she’ll be less busy soon.

Umm. Guys. You’ve forgotten about the game show? I was really excited about that.

A fine idea, Steph.

But no show will ever top Ouch! My Balls!, from Idiocracy, in either concept or title. It’s just not possible.

Yes, FND would have to be Fridays to give the people on Friday night
who are saving money by staying home a way to vicariously
live through Zara and I as we spend oodles of cash on the most ridiculous
things at the grocery store.

But let’s not forget Overthinkers Think The Darndest Things.
Maybe The Greg & Duke Show could be coupled with that one.

Thanks, man. (And yes, thanks Joseph!) You were pretty damned good yourself.

The funny thing is, whenever I try to read the kids a book well — with funny voices, proper inflections, and etc…usually after a glass of wine — they hate it. They prefer my generic dull dad voice.

Wait. I thought our lineup was scheduled for Friday nights. It makes more sense that way, don’t you think?

Apparently, everyone is a TV programmer.

Thanks, Brad, and thanks, Greg, for letting me open. I should’ve thanked you on the mic, but I’m always rattled at readings. Thanks also to Joseph Matheny for the podcast. I forced myself to listen by way of trying to learn from my mistakes, but I’m sure I learned a lot more from you, Greg. You’re one of the best readers I think I ever heard. Your kids are going to be spoiled silly.

Haha. I’ve heard that before.

Scottish. Now it all makes sense…

(It doesn’t really. That just felt like the right thing to say).

Haha, Rick Blaine… Something like that. And no, being Scottish precludes me from any welcome back to the States. I only ever lived there for a few months, and while I’d love to settle there, visa problems make that unlikely until I develop a usable skill.

Thanks, Erika. Really appreciate it.
