Hello, everybody. Welcome to 372 pages. We'll never get back. I am Connor Lestoka. This is the bad book club. We read bad books and then me and Mike talk about them.

Is that an accurate way to sum up what we do here, Mike?

I think that is that we read bad books and talk about them.

We, though. We is an important word this time around.

Yes. We have always read these books. We have always exchanged our thoughts on

them. We've sat by the fire and swirled our sniffters late into the night as we discuss

the prose, the themes, the illusions. We went back to the drawing room and ate walnuts.

Yes, walnuts.

We had walnuts.

And discussed the matters of the day.

Yes.

However, what a twist.

We've thrown a twist at everyone here today.

Explain it, Connor.

Well, a couple weeks ago, you were like, hey, I think people are, I think people are getting fed up with model land.

Their, you know, comments are trailing off. People are burning O'Neill and effigy outside of my house.

Like, we got to, we got to do something to keep these people entertained.

And you suggested that one of us sit out the reading for the next time we, we do the episode.

Yeah, well, a desperation stunt.

Why not?

Yeah, exactly.

Like a TV show just fading out, just does something like gets a guest star on who shouldn't be there. Yeah. That's what we're doing. 30 Rock doing live episodes and it's, you know, penultimate season type of thing. Yeah. And so we decided that we were going to do that. We spent a whole, you know, week together in Nashville and didn't even talk about it. And then we got back home and I found this video on Reddit of a guy doing an epic marble race.
