Hello and welcome to worst bestsellers, where we read about the nice eat, eat, pray, love lady attempting murder so you don't have to.

I'm Renata.

And I'm Kate. And for this episode,

we read all the way to the river by Elizabeth Gilbert. Joining us to discuss this memoir of

intense, praying, and loving is Jack Lawler, host of the Daily Friday podcast and creator

of the Daily Friday newsletter and Work, Retire, Die.

Hello.

Thank you guys for having me.

You know, Work, Retire, Die is sort of like the dark twin of eat, pray, love.

I never thought about that.

Yes.

Yes.

Wow, that kind of opened up something big in my mind right there.

Yeah, so you're going to see if you can get Julia Roberts to play you in a movie.

100%. Yeah, I'll see if she's up for it.

If she can get you.

Yeah, I mean, my pride, you know, you know how it works. Yeah. Um, so welcome, Jack. And we should give a little disclaim. Well, first of all, content warnings for this book. I feel like, again, all anyone knows about this is that Elizabeth Gilbert maybe tried to kill her partner slash wife in it.

But we should give some content warnings for cancer, drug use, addiction.

Ray would not like that trigger warning, but yes.

It's true.

That is so true.

You know, sorry,

...
