Nick Hornby, about a boy.

So there was a little mini genre of these books about young men trying to struggle their way through.

There's a whole little series of them.

Fight Club is adjacent to that.

It's not literally Lad Lit.

I feel like you would write a great Fight Club type novel.

You know, Fight Club is much, and Chuck Palahniuk, as my understanding, admitted this, Fight Club is one of the few things where the movie is better than the book.

I was hanging out with Kurt Metzger a couple weeks ago, comedian, very failed.

Yeah.

Hey, Kurt.

And he had this great story.

He was hanging out with Patrice O'Neill, the late comedian.

Name drop.

One of the great comics of all time.

And Patrice goes, Kurt was talking about how much she liked the book or the movie Fight Club.

And Patrice is like, that is the whitest book on earth.

I mean, it was this kind of, like, there's that line in the movie where...

Edward Norton says, I'm a 30-year-old boy.

This kind of question of what is it, sorry to be Matt Walsh, but what does it mean to be a man, right?

What does masculinity mean?
