This is not a bit. I'm not doing a bit. It's exhausting to suggest I'm doing a bit. If you still want to suggest, I'm doing a bit. It's not a bit. So listen up, you slack-jawed podcast fans. My name is Alex Branson. I'm one of the hosts of E1, and I have written a novel. It's going to be published by Rare Bird on November 10th. It is called Water Wasted. It is set in rural Missouri, and it's about a

divorced couple who has a bunch of otherworldly things happen after they locate and begin to read

their deceased daughter's self-publish internet novels. I've been writing this sucker for a long time,

and I'm very, very proud of it.

And while it's not exactly a comedy novel, I think you'll find a lot of parallels and

inspiration of stuff we draw from on E1. And if you can't wait till November 10th, they are selling

signed copies at Rarebirdlit.com. Those signed books will ship in early October.

So that'll be available about a month earlier than the official release will be on

Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent bookstores.

Yeah, so I got a couple months until it is officially out.

And you're going to hear me talk about this and push this shit a lot.

So if you're going to get used to us putting this at the beginning of episodes, we're going to switch it to the middle,

maybe switch it to the end, try to catch you off guard so you can't fast forward through this part.

Because I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want to make a million dollars.

All right.

What's this episode about?

What's this one?

I mean, if chips worked, why can't...

All right.

On to the show.
