Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of MaximumFund.org and is distributed by NPR.

It's Bullseye, I'm Jesse Thorn.

We are thrilled to welcome back to our program, Bob Odenkirk.

Bob is probably best known for his role as Saul Goodman, on breaking bad and it's spin-off better called Saul.

And a couple years ago he also starred in Nobody, an absolutely bonkers action movie.

Odenkirk is also a legend of alt comedy.

He wrote for Saturday Night Live and the Ben Stiller Show alongside David Cross.

He co-created and starred in the legendary sketch comedy show Mr. Show and also helped launch the careers of Tim and Eric.

Now, when he came in to do this most recent Bullseye interview, Bob Odenkirk brought with him a notebook, a well-worn notebook,

it was filled, pretty much covered a cover, and stuffed full of other stray bits of paper folded in and taped in and stapled in.

And what filled that notebook? Poetry. Poetry that he had written with his children, Aaron and Nate.

The poetry in that notebook became Zillett and other important rhymes, a new collection of poems written by the Odenkirk with illustrations by Aaron.

It's sweet, sincere, funny and very, very silly.

And of course, Bob Odenkirk is one of the sweetest, sincerest, funniest and silliest out there.

I am so thrilled to have him back on the show. He's an actual hero of mine.

Let's get into it. My conversation with Bob Odenkirk.

Bob Odenkirk, welcome back to Bullseye. It's nice to see you.

It's great to see you. Thanks for having me.

Thank you for coming back on the show and congratulations on your new book.

Oh, I'm so excited about it.

I asked you to pick something out from it to read. Do you want to read something?

It's called lolligagging.
