Okay.

It tastes really good.

It is deliciousness in a bottle.

This is absolutely wonderful.

No.

I mean, I put a rock in it just to make it a little bit cold.

Yeah, I love this.

Well done.

Yeah, that's why I'm traveling all throughout the Southwest.

Last Republic was a book I wrote that imagines Brigham Young, the Mormon pioneer and prophet.

He envisioned creating an entire country instead of just the territory of Utah.

Initially, they were thinking about doing that because the Mormons got kicked out of every place they ever went.

They just wanted to be left alone.

And so this book kind of imagined an alternate history where he actually did that and what happens 170 years later when they clash with America.

Well, that book's been out for about six months.

I started writing a sequel and I have to research various areas.

So I flew into Arizona.

I researched Winslow, Arizona, which is going to be the site of the big battle in my next book.

And then I'm going to Las Vegas because I'm here with my brother.

Yeah.
