From the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library here in the wilds of Connecticut, this is Obscure

Season 2, Frankenstein, I am your host, your friend, you are your lover, your literary

mansplainer in chief, and soon to be geogenologist, Michael Ian Black, just back from the aisle

of Man Tucket. I once was a man on Man Tucket. I can't really think of any rhymes that

aren't too risque for this podcast. On YouTube, I've been watching videos of trucks. I have

been watching videos of trucks. Here's a strange thing that I've been doing lately, watching

videos of trucks. Like, not trucks in the sense that, well, kind of, I was going to say not

like trucks like 18-wheelers, like I'm watching the trucks, but I kind of am. I've somehow become

fascinated with truckers and long haul trucking. I don't know, I don't know. The last time I was

interested in long haul trucking was when BJ and the bear was on television in the late 1970s,

starring Greg Evigan and a chimpanzee. At that time, in my life, I was probably eight years old. I

thought to myself, that's the job for me. I'm going to be a long haul trucker. Then the next year,

I decided to become an actor. I don't know what has got me interested in this other than,

in some states, trucking is the job that the most people do. There's so many truckers out there,

and I don't know anything about them. It's interesting to me. I've been learning about different

cabs, different kind of trucks you can have, and what it's like to live in a truck, and you'll have

your sleeping quarters there, and your little mini-fridge, and the different kinds of trucks there are,

Peter Biltz and Ken Words and Max, I guess, and I don't know, trucks. Interesting to me.

Been watching just truckers talk about trucking. Like lots of videos of truckers talking about trucking.

I find it interesting. I was on Nantucket as part of the Nantucket Film Festival. I often go there

because they often have me doing interviews. I interview people. They'll have Ben Stiller there,

and I'll talk to Ben Stiller. Whatever I know, Ben Stiller, who cares, whatever, I mean more friends,
