all the people that are in it, I'm gonna tell their stories too.

Yeah.

I just wrote the book.

And are right now sort of making a comeback.

There's that commercial, there's that Miller Lite commercial where they have a, there's a kid, young man, he's at a bar and he's looking at his phone and there's a girl sort of flirting with him.

Hey, go talk to her.

Go talk to her.

Don't look at your phone.

Talk to her.

And so there's this lesson about manhood that's being promulgated right now on our TV screens.

And I have to say that I sort of agree with it.

I see my dad in that position.

He's sort of the Christopher Walken in that position saying...

Hey, go out and experience life.
