Good afternoon Michael Malice here. Let that be your welcome for the next hour.

I am needlessly excited about this episode because these shows are really fun when I get to talk to someone friends with.

And I get to promote something that I think is great. And today we have comedian Lou Perez talking about his new book.

That joke ain't isn't funny anymore. It comes out this week. I'm very glad to have read it and have a signed copy.

My first question and this is a little bit esoteric. This is written for like center right people I can conservatives about comedy and you know this age of Trump and post Trump.

Did you really think conservers going to get the Smith's reference on this cover. Was it originally called comedy's murder?

No, no, I came up with comedy is murder. It was my publisher's idea to recreate the the album cover.

So it's like, okay, cool. So a friend of mine in my house, we we ordered like the helmet, a backpack and we were recreating it.

And then when it came down to like looking at at the shots that came out, I'm like, well, it says meet is murder. What else is what what can I put there?

So then it then it came up with the with comedy's murder. But as far as like people, you know, not knowing the reference and all that.

Well, it's just reason enough to go out and buy the Smith's album.

Are you a Smith fan? I am. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Cool. Cool.
