Is there another chapter that you'd like to talk about? We get into the fabulous Suez Canal disaster, which most people know because it was so recent. The giant tanker or container ship that just got wedged in the Suez Canal and suddenly –

made the world realize how dependent we are on this teeny tiny little stretch of water that is actually a corridor for the biggest supply chains in the world for everything. And they wind up dredging and digging and digging and digging. But the great detail is that it's actually this –

full moon occurrence that allows the tide to rise high enough to just barely nudge it off the bank and get it free. But it's just a wild story. And there's so many fun details.

The book tour will feel similar to like a movie promotional tour in that I'll be doing talk shows and I'll be doing appearances and all kinds of stuff. The big difference is that I expect to be having much more in-depth conversations with interviewers on the book tour, talking more about the content of the book. Typically on a movie tour, you're just kind of staying pretty superficial about...

How fun it was to make the movie and what's in the movie. In this case, I'm excited to really kind of like play a bit of more intellectual ping pong with people and just get into some of the ideas and ramifications of these snafus and how they've resonated or what meaning they've had throughout history.

So exciting. I get to nerd out in such a fun way. And I truly can't wait.

Fabulous question. Well, I'm also doing live in-person appearances in lots and lots of cities all around. Just off the top of my head, I'm going to probably forget some, but New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Georgia, my hometown where I grew up, Chicago, South San Francisco, and Los Angeles, my current hometown where I live now. And... Ding, ding, ding, ding. You got it.

That's all of them. Yeah. So I'll be having events in all those cities where people can buy tickets and come see. Go to snafu-book.com for all the details about where you can both pre-order the book and there's links to buy tickets to these events in all the different cities.

But if you had to be in one of these screw-ups, who do you want to be? I mean, listen, I've made a career of playing people screwing up on camera, so I could really probably slot into any of these. But I think that... I think actually it would be pretty cool to play Jimmy Carter where he's basically saving the planet. It's the first nuclear reactor meltdown in history. And that's the snafu.

But Jimmy Carter is the hero. Like he comes in and saves the day. So that would be a cool one. Of course, I'm not in my 20s anymore. So that might be a little bit of a stretch. Yeah. The other one that I think would actually be really funny to do is to be like a crew member or the captain of the Ever Given, the ship that was lodged in the Suez Canal.
