Hey, it's Christine with Storyworthy. Today on the show, Simpson's writer Mike Reese

tells us a story about Texas banning his children's books. The state of Texas has banned my

children's books, a boy who looked like Lincoln. And I don't know why.

Nobody's telling me why.

And so finally they write to me, this woman wrote to me and said,

I left your book till the last page, which is pure pornography.

And I go, what?

And we see he's got a baby brother who looks like Dick Nixon, right?

And these morons in Iowa, in masks, and all of Texas think, I called him

Dick because he looks like a penis. Today on the show, Simpsons writer and the host of the

podcast, What Am I Doing Here? Mike Reese talks about his children's books being banned in Texas. Stay close.
