We got a big show for you today. I'm feeling good. How to good weekend. Pretty much. I'm pretty much done with the second book. I had my editor here for a couple of days and we went through the manuscript one more time. We got a little bit of finesse we still got to do over the next couple of weeks.

And then I will announce the title and the pre-sell date. I don't think we're going to a pre-sell until right before I go off the grid in July. I think the last thing that I'm going to do is we'll announce the pre-sell for the new book, which will be out in April.

2022, my first book came out in April of 2020. It's really like, as I talk about all the time, your like time has stretched and pulled and just been so freaking weird.

And the publishing process in general is very, very slow. But I'm really proud of this thing and I think it's going to show you sort of the next step in that book.

Defended some liberal values, but what do you do in a world that has become so anti-liberal? I lay it out for you.

And we'll have all sorts of fun bonuses and giveaways and all kinds of stuff on that front. Oh, and this is just sort of hilarious.

So my editor, who I've been working with now for like two years, Helen, she's a great girl over at Penguin Random House.

And you know, you can imagine how many Star Wars references she's had to take out out of both of my manuscripts.

Like I think in Donber in this book, we maybe had three Star Wars references, but in my original manuscript and scribblings, it was like, probably had like 10.

We're very limiting. I think we're only doing one or two maybe in this book.

But she admitted to me on Saturday. She stayed here for a couple days.

She admitted to me on Saturday at about five o'clock that she has never seen Star Wars.

My book editor never seen Star Wars. She wasn't even really understanding my references.

So I was like, all right, we're going to have dinner. Then we're going to watch Star Wars.

We had dinner. We sit down to watch Star Wars. She fell asleep in 15 minutes. Okay. Obi-Wan barely made an appearance.

These are the people that I'm working with. Can you believe that? Just unbelievable.

All right, guys, we got a big show for you today. I'm in the mood and oh, and then by the way, I am leaving tomorrow.

I'm going to Miami for reasons which need not be mentioned. A lot of good stuff.

Actually, locals is moving down to Miami. So we're moving the company down there.

I'm interviewing Miami Mayor Francis Suarez. And then I'm doing a couple of other podcasts.
