Brad and Mirro for the culture.

Love you, Pee.

Okay, so here we are again back for another episode of Brad and Mirra for the culture.

I'm Brad Listy, and I'm here with my friend and co-host, Mira Gonzalez. Hello,

Mira. Hello, Brad.

Mira, today's episode is brought to you by wanting the debut novel by Claire Gia available from Tin House.

Have you heard about this book? I have not, but please, tell me about it.

It was just reviewed in the New York Times.

And it's a very promising debut by a very gifted writer.

I'm going to be speaking with Claire Gia on the Other People Show later this month.

It's the official July pick of my book club.

Wow.

You seem electrified.

Yeah, I mean, you know, I love your book club picks. I think you have great taste. And it's like, it's kind of like one step below Oprah's book club. That's right. But better, honestly, than Oprah's book club. And I do mean that earnestly. So I mean, I would check it out. I'm a kingmaker. That's right. That's right, Fred. A queen maker. That's right. So how are you doing? I know you texted me this morning and you said you woke up

with insane back pain. And so you took like a massive gummy or like a huge weed gummy intake to try to ameliorate your back pain.

Yeah, that's right.

I took a massively strong weed gummy.

And so like I've probably lowered my IQ and memory like pretty significantly.

So, um, you know, if I sound like I don't know what's going on, that is because I don't know what's going on.

Just FYI.

She's in a fragile state.

How did you hurt your back?
