Welcome to the Bullwhip Podcast. I'm Charlie Sykes. It is Friday, which means we have made

it through another extraordinary week. Actually, this is my first Friday week since the summer.

And of course, we're sort of back to our normal rhythm, which means that I am lucky enough to be

joined by New York Times best selling author. Tim Miller and Tim, you are actually on the East

Coast today, right? You're doing a book tour. You're down in Florida. You were in Georgia doing

wholesale. Yeah, I'm in Tallahassee today. I'm at an undisclosed location. I'm trying to keep a low

profile as I travel to the state of Florida. Every time I see a Florida state policeman somewhere,

I start looking for potential exits. I don't want to be shuttled onto a plane against my will while

I'm in the state. I'm in DeSantis stand. So I won't let anybody know. But last night, I was at

Stanley Bradshaw's bookstore, the Midtown Reader. And it was so, so great. If you find yourself in

Tallahassee, do go support it. It was so fun. A lot of Bullwhip people there. There was one person

actually double screening Thursday night Bullwhip while sitting at my book event, you know, trying to

malt trying to multitask. So the super fans are out there. And I do just want to say because I did a

drive, Charlie from Atlanta to Tallahassee. And for some reason in my head, I don't know if I

googled this or I imagined it or hallucinated it, but I thought it was a three hour drive when I

decided to drive instead of fly. And after about six whiskeys after the Atlanta book event,

one of my friends was like, well, when you leave in tomorrow and I told them, and I said, I think

that's cutting it close. It's a five hour drive. So I had five hung over hours driving from Atlanta

to Tallahassee, which allowed me to get fully caught up on my podcast. And I'm a little for the first

time. Since maybe the first time I was on with you, I'm a little intimidated because your last two

podcasts, General Hurtling and Catherine Randpell, I mean, these people are bringing facts that they

I learned a lot of things on this drive. And you know, today listeners are just going to get candy.
