Today's number, 22%. That's how much Bible sales grew this year in contrast to the overall book market that barely grew 1%. True story, Ed, sometimes I masturbate while reading the Bible. I call it my come-to-Jesus moment. Welcome to Prop G Markets. Today, oh wait, today we're doing something different. What's going on today, Ed?
Today we're doing an All's Me Anything episode, Scott, and we've got our producer Claire back in the studio. And she's going to be asking us some listener questions from Instagram and Reddit and YouTube. So thank you to everyone who sent in those questions. Claire, welcome back to the studio. Very nice to be here. Thank you. Scott, are you ready for your first question?
Lay it on me. We haven't seen these yet. All right. This is the most popular question on Reddit. The people are dying to know, how much did your birthday party cost? I think it cost about a quarter of a million dollars. Give us a breakdown.
Well, we took over a hotel, the Five Farms. We reserved it two years before. I think that, the honest answer is I don't really know. But I imagine that it was like 45 or 50 rooms. We had it for two nights. I don't know, that was probably 100 grand. The food was probably another 50 or 70 grand. Plus things like axe throwing and kilt rental and all that shit.
Yeah, I'd put it at a quarter of a million bucks. You think that was worth it? Good value? Oh, look, to have all your friends in one place and celebrate, you know, the passage of time as you sit around and wait for the ask answer, yeah. Always put it so elegantly.
