Thank you for having me. Of course. I'm very excited to chat with you. It's a pleasure. I've been looking forward to this ever since you contacted me.
So have I. So have I. Your book is absolutely fascinating. The way it just walks people through you and your brother's childhood and growing up and essentially how you guys were incubated into this world of psychedelics and You know, the whole like 60s counterculture movements.
And, you know, I thought it was really cool how it was a very grounded backstory of how you guys came to be and how you guys are also so different, but also so similar.
Mm hmm.
Yes, we were very similar. Of course, my brother was four years older than I was, and he was interested in all kinds of things. And being the older sibling, he got all the attention, right? And I was sort of in the background. But he was such an interesting person. I wanted to be involved in everything that he was doing. And I'm just the pesky little brother, sort of tagging along.
But sometimes it synced. And we had, since you've read the book, and by the way, I should mention with the book, the copy I sent you is the original edition, 2012 edition. There's a new edition available now.
The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss. My Life with Terrence McKenna.
