| 0:42.5 | Neil, I'll lead off with the first question. We see you've got a lot of books behind you. Have you read all those? |
| 0:48.3 | I have actually read about 90% of those books. This is not for show. This is actually, my for show shelf is to the left of me |
| 0:55.9 | has like highbrow college type books. Well, this is also highbrow, but it's more, it's utilitarian |
| 1:03.5 | highbrow books. I'll give you a trick. My dad's a history professor. I'm an adjunct English |
| 1:09.0 | professor, but we have a lot of books and we always get asked about him. Here's the easy answer. If someone says, have you read all those |
| 1:14.3 | books? You tell them, I've read some of them twice. Yeah. Oh, that's good. Yeah, that's a good |
| 1:18.3 | answer. I always say I've read parts of these all the way through. Yeah, that works too. I've |
| 1:22.8 | read half of these books, half as well as half of them deserve? Half that they deserve. Yeah, that's how I say. Eric Metaxis always says that. He's like, oh, I've read parts of your book all the way through. That's good. So I said that to him. He thought it was funny. Good. Anyway, so what's your favorite book on the shelf behind you? Okay, well, that's a hard question. This is my critical theory shelf. |
| 1:45.0 | Holy cow. |

| 1:47.0 | What's that? |
| 1:47.9 | Two thumbs down. |
| 1:48.9 | Well, so, okay, no, so they've been arranged. |
| 1:52.1 | The ones on the top, I think I actually can see that. |
| 1:54.3 | You can see that, the top shelf. |
| 1:56.0 | Those are the anti-critical theory books. |
| 1:59.1 | These are the applied critical theory books. These are the hardcore theorist books. I, oh, there's one shelf. I don't, that's like a basement level. Yeah. Do not open danger. Anyway, but they're all, so that I think probably, I actually think my favorite book probably on this shelf is Thadius Williams book. Hey, Thaddeus Williams. You guys interviewed him. We did. We did have. We were just talking about him right before we stepped in here. |
