I promise I'm not.
I'm just not.
You know me.
Sometimes, like the whole state of Iowa banned Looking for Alaska, and then I got notified, and we ended up suing them and winning.
But a lot of times I'll just hear from somebody, you know, a concerned teacher or a teacher who's been affected by it.
Authors get all the attention for this stuff, but the people who are most affected by it are teachers and librarians because their ability to do their job on a daily basis is so profoundly affected by these book bans.
I couldn't write about you because I like to write about flawed characters.
And you're just too perfect.
Oh, I forgot we were on a World Cup podcast.
Yeah, we were talking about... Yeah, he was a soccer announcer in Peru.
That's legit.
In Arequipa?
No, they're not soccer nerds.
They're nerd nerds, as am I. Daniel and I talk a lot about how we, you know, he grew up playing soccer and I grew up loving soccer and loving sports, but...
We also grew up reading nonstop and talking about books and talking about big ideas.
And like that's 99% of the conversations I've had with you over the years have been of that variety.
Even when we're talking about football, we're talking about it as like a nation building exercise or whatever, as much as we're talking about the game.
But I think if you see sports through that lens, you can see sports through a nerdy lens, right?
Yeah.
I'm not afraid to give a little pep talk here and there.
