Who is the coolest dude in Texas?
Do you mean when you put it on because your mom was selling it and she said it gave you cystic acne? Buddy, I will tell you the book's awesome. Buy it. But the fucking audio book is insane.
You want to have Matthew McConaughey sound like he's calling you.
Get the audio book. It just fucking talks. It was fun to read. They said it was going to take like four days to record it. And I remember just sitting there going... man, I know these stories. I wrote this. It's not going to take four days. Popped a couple of buds and eight hours. One take.
Really?
Yeah. Wow.
Don't listen to my audio book. Yeah. I can't read aloud.
I wrote a book a couple of years ago, number two, New York Times bestseller. Couldn't get to number one. But I have a question. When I handed in Like the first time I sent the publisher a draft, there was a different type of anxiety about submitting your writing as opposed to like an audition.
Oh, hell yeah.
Because you realize, you know, you can tweak, you can deliver how you want to deliver a line. You can deliver, you can do things with your face, with your body, with your work. But when it's just like, here's what I wrote, there's like this whole, this thing you're like, fuck man, do you feel that too? Yeah, hell yeah.
I mean, I felt it for decades. probably 15 years, I didn't have the courage to even go try and write it. I mean, I'd been gathering all these journals in a treasure chest and then telling my assistant, you know what? You're going to start logging that stuff. Maybe something's worth sharing one day. And it stayed on micro cassettes. And the last kicker to get out the door and go see what I had to write something was I asked my wife. If, hey, when I die, I got these books. These are really important to me. I'm looking in there and seeing if something's worth sharing. And she just gave me the bird and said, F you, dude. You go do it. Don't put that on me.
Yeah, that's a big thing to put.
She was like, get out of here. So I loaded up the truck and headed off to Marford for 20 days with those, which was intimidating. But then when I did turn it in to declare.
Yes.
Now, being a writer. Yeah. It's a big thing. I can't dance around this thing. You can't kind of put lipstick on it and call it a thoroughbred if it's a donkey, right? Yeah, for sure. You put it there. I mean, I felt like it was something. Right. But I didn't know if it was going to translate, if anyone else was going to go. Dude, that's your own pipe dream. Totally. I don't get it.
Because there's also this thing like, I mean, I don't know if you feel this way when you, if you go back and forth when you see yourself in a performance. But like when we do stand-up specials, right? a lot of times you'll watch an edit, the first, like, a cut of it, and you're like, this fucking sucks. Like, I suck. And then you, you know, you watch it, and then there's just, like, moments sometimes where you're like, you know what, this is actually pretty good. Like, I like this.
But you go back and... Watch the same thing. You're watching the same thing.
Multiple times you watch it. And then you have different feelings about it. And then there's that thing, it's like the night before the premiere, and you're like, I feel pretty good. And then you're like, oh, fuck, man. You know, it's just like rollercoaster, right? But I don't know if... If you feel that way about a performance, but on a book, I feel like there's this thing where you read it sometimes, and you're like, this is a good chapter. I like this chapter. And then you have your... It's just doubt. You get feelings of doubt.
