I think everybody should listen to them.
And it's about the Holmes brothers, and it is within the lore...
of Sherlock Holmes, but it is also about, like, Mycroft Holmes' wife and his footman who are from Trinidad.
It is very, like, I would say true to the Sherlock Holmes canon, while also, like, introducing fun new stuff from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's perspective.
And I think it's really good.
And the reason this came up is we were talking about
somebody I don't remember if it was Trump or somebody in his cabinet did a racist accent although whenever Trump tries to do an impression of somebody this is the voice he does where it's like I don't know if you're trying to do a Chinese accent or yeah that was nothing yeah but somebody did an accent and we were trying to determine if it's like ever appropriate to like do a Chinese accent and I was like well in these audio books that I listen to the narrator is a black guy from England and there is a Chinese character who he gives a little
touch just a little soup song of an accent to that I think is very tastefully done.
I think is like, if you're ever going to do it, it has to be at exactly the level that this guy nails.

So my friend Raleigh, who I don't know if you know him, he's the he has the Climate Town YouTube show.
He also runs a billiards channel and he used to work for a billiards company in Japan.
And so they flew him over one time.
And he was playing pool with this guy who only spoke Japanese.
And his translator was like, hey, I got to run to the bathroom.
I have to like run out for a few minutes.
I'll be right back.
And Raleigh was like, OK, no problem.
