Oh my God.

You are not alone.

You have found other people.

You and I have a friend in common. Every stupid thing that a writer could do I've done. I think it's really beautiful. Jesus. State it was what I struggle, you know?

It was incredible. It was like your head exploded, seeing what was really there. And now here's your

host, Brad Listy.

Just one person at just one time.

Here we go again. This is it. This is other people. This is a good way to avoid people. This is how I figure out what to do. How's it going? What's happening out there? I'm Brad Listy. I'm in Los Angeles, California. It's nice to be with you. I have a great show for you today. Juan F. Thompson is my guest. He is the son of the late Hunter S. Thompson, and he has written a memoir called Stories I Tell Myself.

It's available now in hardcover from Knopf,

and it was personally very exciting for me,

and even a little bit emotional to get a chance to sit down with Juan. His memoir is about his dad, his relationship with Hunter Thompson. I think it's fair to say that

that's the central narrative of the book. And it's a vital part of the story that we haven't heard

before. You know, as somebody who's read a lot about Hunter S.ompson and a lot by hunter s thompson over the years

you know wands perspective is one that i was always wondering about and now we have it in the form of

this fine book so uh as i've said more than once on this program in the past hunter s thompson is one of

my all-time favorites.

And I think he's one of the great writers in American history.

I think he's underrated, often misperceived.

He's certainly one of our funniest writers and one of our best political writers.
