From the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library here in Sultry, Savannah, this is obscure season

four in American tragedy.

I am your host, your friend, your ear lover, and literary mansplainer-in-chief, Michael Ian Black, feeling

velocitized. I don't know if you guys know that word. It was pretty much the only thing I remember

from high school drivers ed. It is the sensation that you get when you're traveling at high

speed and then you slow down or stop and you still feel as if you are moving at that high

speed. You are velocitized. So after two days in the car with the dogs and Martha,

home in Savannah feeling velocitized. It is fine to be back here in

Sultry, Savannah. It's actually a lovely day here, probably in the mid-80s and low humidity.

And if you know anything about August in Savannah, you know how unusual that is. We returned,

we unpacked, we unloaded, two months in the Poconos, gone in the blink of an eye, and now

we have come home. Although I'm only here for a couple of days, and then it's off to New York City for the next 10 weeks where I will be living as we

record the new season of Have I Got News for you? Very much looking forward to that. I enjoy that job very much and I'll tell you why. It's one day a week, I go in, I put on

nice clothes, I sit down, they turn on the cameras two and a half hours later or two hours

later they turn off the cameras and I go home. I mean, that's a great job. The two hour

work week, I think I got Tim Ferriss beat by, well, wait, if you reduce

four to two, is that reducing by 100% or 50%, I guess 50%, but if you were double two to four,

that would be 100%.

So I got Timothy Ferris beat by 50%.

Remember he came out with that book, The Four Hour Work Week?

Bro, I got it down to two.

Never been happier.
