Thanks, everybody.

This is Connor Lestoka here with a special bonus edition of 372 pages.

We'll never get back.

Joined, as always, by Mike Nelson on the other line.

Mike, we finished Model Land. We were in the clear.

You know, we was like we were making a prison break and, you know, we were over the fence.

We were like, you know, about to enter the woods. And we turned to each other and said,

I think we made it. And then the light goes on. The whistles began. The shooting started dogs and we knew, yeah, it was, we were back.

But yeah, we had to read the acknowledgments, everyone said, that the acknowledgements

were just as insane as the book was.

So we've returned to discuss the, I believe it was one, two, three, four, five, six,

six pages of analogiments. Yeah, again, I was reading electronically. So it was not as much to me.

I didn't read the actual, as you call it, the doorstop of a book.

But yeah, it was a, people, I don't think we're exaggerating in the, in sort of getting a glimpse into the author's, you know, personal voice, I guess.

This was like, I don't know, my, my initial reaction was like, I will never criticize

someone's like Oscar speech again because those are like a haiku in their succinctness compared to the model and acknowledgments.

Yeah, it was a fantastic archaeological tool to see what was, you know, and he gets to mention, of course, Michael Solort to see who wrote what.

He gets a brief mention, yes.

He gets a very, that's very curious mention as well, which we'll get to in a moment.

But yeah, it did give us clues as to, you know, what was hers, what was the editor, also gets to mention.

Well, everyone gets a mention, I mean, well, right.

She was talking about, you know, Lou Gehrig at some point in time.
