Recorded in Chicago, Illinois with your host's Ken, Matt, Neil, and Jeff.

This is Triviality.

Thank you. Matt, Neil, and Jeff, this is Triviality.

Hello and welcome to Triviality, the game where a lack of seriousness meets a little bit of knowledge. You wrote a book?

Right off the bat.

That is true.

That was Ken. Ken, how are you today? I'm good. Doing well. Matt, how are you?

One of these hosts has written a book. It's like an escape room. Like, which one is it?

Neil is the master of the segue, which Ken clearly has not taken up.

But why don't you tell us a little bit about the master of the mullet, Neil? Yes, we have a very special guest. We'll get to in just one second. Patrick Swayze? Unfortunately not Patrick Swayze. We couldn't get him. But today's episode is actually going to be all Patrick Swayze themed. And if you're listening, don't get worried. You don't have to know anything about Patrick Swayezia i'm going to hopefully fill in some blanks but um today's episode is in honor of my first book it's going to be coming out next week april 26th so um we're doing this episode just to let you know one more time about the book this week and next week and if you can you know pick up a copy if you have the means i'd really it. The week before and the week of release are very important to authors, and it'll help me hopefully get another book going. But yes, so the book is called Being Patrick Swayze, Essential Teachings from the Master of the Mullet. It's going to be released by Chronicle Books, and it's my illustrated gift book and comedic love letter to the life and career of Patrick Swayze.
