Very New York backdrop there with all the books.

These are real too, man.

Yeah, these books have been with me everywhere.

They've been with me in Brooklyn, then to LA, and now they're here in the outskirts of New Jersey.

So let me. I miss.

I used to judge people by going into their homes and looking at their books, their CDs, and their DVDs.

And I could tell everything I needed to know or wanted to know about a person and whether I wanted to be friends with them just based on that.

And now everything's digital. So, you know, I have to sort of glean it. Yeah. Well, John Waters had that great advice, great dating advice. It's like if you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them. Or fuck them once. Right. I mean, it also depends how good looking they are, too. I think John needs a caveat there. I mean, if I put in the work and I got to the house, I mean, come on. Exactly. And look, and if you're in California, too, I mean, if you're driving, you're sitting through traffic, I mean, come on. There's a lot of thought that goes in there. Yeah uh yeah i'm gonna reject that advice uh john waters

the fact who writes erotic literature. And maybe you'll want to explore his titles, but just know

that's not mine and that's not this book. So he has different crimes of omission. It's basically... Yes, fair enough. Fair enough. That Rob Rosen omits the condoms, I think, in his books. There we go. You know, there you go. I mean, one of the titles is Sparkle, the queerest book you'll ever love.

So I don't know. I don't know if it's safe sex or not. You're going to have to buy it and find out.

You know what? Guys, buy two books, buy both Rob Rosens and put them next to each other and let them fight it out or love it out or hug it out on your bookshelf.
