Hello and welcome to Book Cheat, the Book Club podcast where I've read the books that you don't have to.

My name is Dave Warnocky, and on each episode of this show, we look at one of the classics, and joining me to look at such a classic this week. It's Matt Stewart and Nick Mason. Hazzar! Hazzar! Hazzar to you. And hussar to you. Great to be here with the Hazzar Boys. That's right. Another boys only episode, No Girls Allow. Yeah, is that, is that like official policy, Dave? Yeah, absolutely.

If you look back at the last 124 episodes, you'll see that Neri, a female to be seen. Girls can't understand the classics. They don't like them. They don't appreciate it. Even if they've written them, they don't understand. Well, I think a big part of it is that women read. They don't need this podcast. That is a great point. I invite them on and they go, yeah, I've read that. I go, well, no, that's kind of defeating the purpose. I need you to sort of come in cold here. Where's my database of real dumb guys? Oh, on the internet. Don't worry, I asked two, and they both said yes. Sorry, Hazar boys. Sort of zinging you a bit there. We're dumb and we've got nothing going on.

That's classic. on the internet. I don't worry, I asked two, and they both said yes.

Sorry, Hazar Boy, sort of zinging you a bit there.

We're done and we've got nothing going on.

That's classic Hazar Boy banter, though, isn't it? I think so too, too. Great to have you in. Thank you so much for coming on. We're going to be the Cabab Boys later. I'm really looking forward to that. Absolutely. I don't know why I associate Mesa with kebabs, daytime kebabs.

Is it because I smell of meat?

Is that why?

You got the meat sweats all the time. I don't know why. I associate Mesa with cababs in there, daytime cabs. Is it because I smell of meat?

Is that why?

He got the meat sweats all the time. I think it's because one time we had a kebab in the day. Maybe twice, actually. We shared it Lady in the Tramp style, just in the middle of it. Which is very awkward because it was half meat and half vegetarian. Yeah, and yeah, I got a little bit of the juice came through and my God, I was full of energy the rest of the day.

Oh my God, you were tempted.

I saw it as a temptation.

Yeah. A divine temptation. Direct from Mesa's kebab to my lips.

That's right. And to God's ears.

Yes.

And to God's thighs. That's right. A minute on God's ears. That's right. And to God's ears. Yes. And to God's thighs.

That's right.

A minute on God's ears.

That's right.

A lifetime on God's thighs.
