Hey,

Hey everybody.

It's your wizard who wrote himself into the book, Holden McNeely. That's how wizardly I am.

I can write myself in and become a character. Breakfast of Champions reference. Sorry, spoiler,

Jake. And it's me, your bedraggled, aging voice of the counterculture who's just begging, pleading

the boomer generation to just stop

supporting George W. Bush.

Please just, God, it was like the one thing we were supposed to do is like stop being monsters.

What a bizarre.

That's probably one of our we're weirder intros we've had to do for a podcast episode because

we are doing part two of Kurt Vonnegut

his later years, his prolific 80s book writing into, I know prolific 80s book writing,

that's the sentence, and into his later years where he just does not really enjoy George

W. Bush very much, wouldn't you know it? And everything going on. To be fair, he doesn't enjoy a lot of things. He's kind of... And I don't want to get too political, but we have to, in a sense, because we'll be talking about Vonnegut's opinions on politics, but could you a fathom if he was alive today? You think George W. Bush? I was laughing. I was like, blush.

Oh, my God.

Now this are the days.

No, that's the thing is if Vonnegut was alive today, he would just look at everything that's happening, just take a drag of his palm all cigarette, and just be like, I already fucking told you guys.

I already, I warned you.

I told you this is what was going to happen.

He probably would have just gotten himself crushed to death by a horse or something.

Like a dramatic suicide just to like say fuck it to the world.

Also, that soothing, lovely voice that you're hearing that's not mine or Jakes.
