  Speaker 1: I'm guilty. I'm one of those podcast listeners. Except when
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I go looking for a podcast, I want to be
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: able to find it. I'll read about it on Google
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and then I go searching for it on iHeart or
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Spotify and I can't find that Rob low Interview. I
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: can't find something Mark merindid I can't find it. So
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: as a podcaster, it was my goal to create something
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that makes it so much easier for you to take
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: what you found out and find it. Aero dot net,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a r r oe dot net, It's twenty different podcasts
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: for you to explore. Hey, good afternoon, Matt. How are
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you doing today?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well, dude.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: This is such a blessing to share a conversation with
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the co creator of the program, because I mean that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: means that you were there right from the very beginning,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and you're helping to grow something here that's going to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: become the conversation I'm trying.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: That's the plans.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Now, were you Were you part of a group that
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: actually created the book clubs and things? Because where did
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: this idea pop up from? Because it's so original and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it's very it's very attractive in the way that you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: can't just walk away. You're sitting there just watching it
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and going, oh my god.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Oh my yeah. Well, I very much appreciate all of that.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: That is music to my ears.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I've been a book maker and publisher for the better
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: part of the last decade, and I've made books with
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Daggie the Rapper, Floyd Mayweather, the Boxers, the NFL, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a number of other places. And I've been recently an
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: independent publisher distributed by McMillan Books.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And as we were.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: For putting together a marketing plan for this year back
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: in February, we realized that marketing in book publishing was
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: antiquated and was kind of a black box. And I
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: come from the music business about twelve fifteen years ago,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and it's all about community. It's all about finding ways
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: to make people laugh and have a feeling that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: They want to return to.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: And my partner, Bella, and I just had a radical
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: idea where we were going to make a TV show
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: for YouTube that was the Office He Meets a book Club.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And that we would.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Find a way to make people laugh, teach them about
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a book, and get them books.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Into being like, oh my god, I got to read
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that now, yeh.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: And I was sort of like the three the three
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: prong approach that we had for finding a way to
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: pre an attractive audience, and that that was sort of
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the infinitis of it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: See. I love the idea that you're doing this, Matt.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And the reason why is because I've been blessed with
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the idea and the opportunity to share a lot of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: conversations with these published authors. They have a life, they
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: have they have a personality, They've got challenges just like us.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And for you guys to bring this up like this
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and to really bring it out there for people to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: discover them, this is this is a real This is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a gold mine for them because they haven't had this
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: kind of attention before and because of people like yourself, Matt.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, my god, you're opening up a new door
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for conversation.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: It really a smile on my face, man, to hear
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: you say to me.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: All of the reasons that we made.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: This, uh, this show is that there's a.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Full you know, you know, I made a lot of
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: comic books in my life. I also need to see you.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Heavy Metal Magazine the science fiction publication for a number
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: of years, and.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: You know, I always said, when you go to Comic Con.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: There's about six hundred thousand people that go to Comic
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Con from Wednesday to Sunday. There's not even attraction of
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: that that go to comic book shops on.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: A Wednesday to pick up a book. There is such a.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Pool of people who love these things that aren't in
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: the main sort of marketables late that that that people
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: think about when they're trying to promote this stuff. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: we thought that creating a YouTube show would really galganize
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a younger generation who lives online to be like, you
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: know what, I want to try that too, because I
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: don't think everybody buys books for the reason to read
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it right away. Sometimes they buy it because it's an
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: identity piece, it's it. Sometimes they buy it because the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: person recommended it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: To them, and eventually they might go to read it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: But how do we get.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: That that thought process, that that that notion of being
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: something that they identify with?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: So what's a free more including point of view has
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: done better than any other brand ever, it's.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: What Apple does best.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: That's why Apple has basically no end of their TechBook
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: on their TV shows, because the shows are just a
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: manifestation of what it needs to own an apple thought
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: ut to you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what's really interesting about this, Matt, is
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that with these authors and things is that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: they understand that connection. But in having conversations with them
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and in watching this show, it to me it's still
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that conversation with that viewer at home that has their
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: own books and writings underneath their bed and in their
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: attic and they don't want to release them. And these
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: authors and people like yourself are going to get them
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to release what the next great novel is going to be.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: So I see the opposite, I mean, the other side
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of this in the way of going, do you know
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: what you're going to be doing with people? You're going
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to be freeing them from their hell inside their bedrooms
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: because they don't know what to do with their writing
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and because now they want to be on the YouTube channel,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they want to be the one that's being talked about.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent that it's funny you have that point
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of view, because we I have a saying that I'd
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: say that if the publisher, a record label or a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: film studio, that is that they are artists first, writer first, musicians,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: for they're actually not because The only way to be writer,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: artist or musician first is to be publisher, record label,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: or film studio first, because most creators are not marketers.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Most creators are these beautiful souls that pap into a
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: zeitgeist of things. And I've been blessed myself to have
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: a PAUSEI business brain, and you know, I have some
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: decent ideas from books every now and then, but most
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: people can't be both. And our whole point is, let's
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: build the communities where it doesn't matter if you're the
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: seventeen year old kid in high school that wrote this
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: amazing manuscript or if you're James Patterson. We have a
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: community that wants to read the books we're putting out
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: fear regarding of your name. And that's really what it
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: means to be artists first, is to be able to
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: have a communion of people that will experience your art
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: regardless of who you are. And that's what we're hoping
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Bagrammar becomes Wow.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And it's just so perfectly right for this because if
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you do the research on podcasting, it wasn't comedians that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: created it, It wasn't musicians like they did with MySpace.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It was the authors that created podcasting, and then everybody
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: else jumped onto that ship because they opened up the door.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: So to see that you're going to be taking authors
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to YouTube like this, of course you are. I'm not shocked.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going you bet, this is the next level of play.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I love, I love how much you see and I
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: you know, and I've been a big believer of that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: The regular TV, you know, whether it's network or streaming
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: or you know, as kind of lost their way in
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: some regards. You know, obviously they're still incredible partners in
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of ways, but you know, the the reality
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: is almost every show that we all love at a
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: horrible season one, yes, a lot, and it's it's it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: not it's not conducive to television to have a situation
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: where they're telling creators you need to perform in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: first season or recap you because that in that situation
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: it might make more sense to go get outside financing
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: and go make it yourself. Because what made network and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: streaming so lucrative is that creators were able to take
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: another of an idea and develop it with them.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And if that's disappearing, then.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: YouTube removes the executive point of view and lets you
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and the audience choose.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: If you like it, please do not move. Matthew Nedney
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: is coming back from Bad Grammar. The show on YouTube
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: is Bad Grammar B A D D G R A
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: M M M A R. Who we are back with,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Matthew Medney. What do you do with with Because there's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a big craze going on right now inside the world,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and that and that is is that it seems like
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: everybody is doing their own version of a graphic novel.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: You brought up comic Con. I'm sitting there going, oh
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: my god, they're headed to him, they are headed into
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: your world. Is that going to be what the focus
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: is going to be on? Is on comic con things
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: or is it? Or are you going to open it
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: up to other YA authors as well as dramatic detective
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you know, true crime novelists who are sitting and they're
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: so serious. But I laugh at these books because they
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: make it so serious.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: It's a great question.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: We definitely will be opening it up too all thoughts
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: of books, and not just Comic Coon. But we have
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: a big friends Insects Comicon because of my history in
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the graphic novel space. But we have a number for
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: those books too, and all types of genres. We're really
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: excited about all of that. And yeah, I think it's
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: not just the comic.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Cons of it of the world.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: It's really any book in any author that we can
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: have a great story. We want to, you know, sort
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: of put them through the Bad Grammar machine and see
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: if we can create that audience.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: So, now, everybody that's featured on Bad Grammar, how do
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you handle what's happening to the world of literature right now?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: In the way that it seems like we finally started
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: listening to Mark Twain who said, you've got to write
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: in your own language, your own style. Well, that's exactly
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: what we're doing. On My punctuation sucks, but it's the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: way that I write, It's the way that I talk.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: How are you guys dealing with that on your side
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of that camera on YouTube?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're definitely trying to make it our own voice. Yeah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: You know, we're not folding to, you know, any sort
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: of time constraints.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Of a regular sitcom.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: We try to do our episodes anywhere between thirteen and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: twenty minutes.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Nice is really our our point of view, and it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: not you know, I.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Would say it definitely does not follow the network language rules.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: We try not to curse too much, you know, but
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: we also try to be authentic, so it's not about
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: you know. The way that we write the shows is
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: that we provide everything for the actors and people in
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: the episode to be able to improve. So we create
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: their characters, we give they read the books, we give
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: them cheat sheets of the books, but the actual interactions
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: is very much unscrewed, and we did that purposely so
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: that we could capture real moments and real like eights
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: on the books. So everything is scripted from the point
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: of view that they have a they have a sense
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: of what they're looking to.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Say and how they want to say.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: It's and the and the beats and bobs about the book,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: but they're really just having a conversation about the book
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: that we're recording that just like a normal book club.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: What really caught my attention was how authenticate you guys
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: are when it comes to sharing it. You're not picking
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: out favorite parts that the author wanted you to talk about.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: You're you're you're picking out your own, your own interpretation
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of certain areas, and then you're having that god dang
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: honest conversation with each other, which yeah, can go in
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: any direction. But I thought that's what book clubs are
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: all about. Because if I go over here by my neighbors,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we start talking about a book, I'm telling you it's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: going to be just like your dang show. You were
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: just the first one to put it on YouTube.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I love it, you know. So I would say our
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: point of view are guiding light. I would say, is
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: kind of what you just said. It's learnt about promoting
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the book. It's about It's our guideline is would this
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: episode get somebody to want to read it? And would
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: it get somebody who's read it to laugh? Those are
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: the only two. Those are the only two metrics that
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: we think about when we're kind of when we're filming
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: and editing.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Are those two things.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: It's never about covering specific hits about a book. You're
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: never going to cover the entire ethos of a book
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: in twenty minutes or less. That's just not a reality.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: So the point of view is it doesn't make you.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Want to read it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: If they're read it, and if you've read it, are
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: there a couple of moments and there where you're like, yeah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: that's hilarious because of this character's interaction with that character.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: As we can nail those two things that I think
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: we're doing our job.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: God, I would love to be in that editing room
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: because I know you guys are getting stuff that you're
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: sitting there going do we take a chance?
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: No?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Come on, no do it? I mean, give me, give
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: me three minutes to think about it. Nope, not doing it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's got to be that wing
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: because I mean, when you have that many people in
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the room that have wild imaginations like they do, they're
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: gonna be saying stuff that only kids would say.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: And you know, I think the other thing that's really
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm definitely more of the one in that room.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I'm like, let's do it, and my partner, Bella, my
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: partner Bella is telling me absolutely not in that situation.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Because the other thing that's really magical about it is
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: that we filmed the whole show on iPhone thirteens. So
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Bella and her cinematographer was able to build a rig
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: for us so where we use the black Magic Camera
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: app and we have five iPhones and we do the
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Multican and we set it up, and then our editing
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: team led by a guy named Michael Morello and his
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: colorists and everyone are just able to because we filmed
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: through the black magic that.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Make it look like the highest quality filming.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: It keeps the per episode boss for something that's feasible
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: for us, and the tolering and the visuals of it
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: something that could go toe to toe with something on CBS.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: And I think that is just a testament to the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: gen Z and the twenty twenty six of it all
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and finding ways to make things work.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: See, and that's exactly where everybody is because everybody is
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: trying to steal that thunder from YouTube right now, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you guys bring in your original programming there. But one
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of the main connections, and I want listeners to understand
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: this is the fact that you've got five completely different
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: people on the show and it's called bad grammar. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the thing about it is the one thing they have
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in common is their opinion. Oh my god, that is hot,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: because so many times everybody comes in there with an agenda.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Uh huh. You give them the opportunity to use their opinion,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: use that muscle exactly well.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I think so many people today are just so I
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: aid to have that sort of conversation, whether it's political
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: division or eco chambers, the ability to have that really
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: interesting opposing conversations with people that you then will go
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: have a beer with or a coffee, whatever your advice is,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: and not like hate them till the end of time.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I think it's really foreign to a lot of people today,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: and we're just trying to remind people that that's how
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: most of civilized civilization had not in this weird time
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: now we're in where as you're a Republican, you can't
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: talk to the Democrat, if you're this, you can't talk
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: to that, if you're whatever, whatever. It's like, no, no, no,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: we all have interesting opinion, we all have our view
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: of the world, and we should all throw those views
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: against each other and have a really civilized, fun conversation,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: because the dest ideas happen when everybody gives a little
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: and finds a new answer in the middle, not when
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: this person's answer is correct or that perfont answer correct.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: When both of you are both of.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: You are wrong, and whatever you guys chose in the
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: middle is the one that I always say, biggest travesty
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: and all of American histored is that Thomas Jefferson and
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: John Adams had a ruthlessly diabolical third election in American history,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: and Thomas Sheffton changed one of one of Alexander Hamilton's
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: most coveted rules about the presidency, which was that the
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: second place contestant would become the vice president.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Thomas Shefton was so was so.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Appalled by how John Adams had run that election that
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: he changed that. Just imagine if half the country would
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: feel like a kind of one in an election versus
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: completely lost, how much more together we would be. And
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I think that I'm hoping, in a very funny microcosm way,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: that we're bringing a little bit of that back into
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the world of like we don't have to agree and
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: everything to be friends.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So anywhere along the way, maybe two or three
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: episodes a season, maybe you'll put a book in there
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: that did not go through the editing process, because I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: love it when writers screw up. I want to see
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the rawnest. I want to feel that real emotion as
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: it was put into that paragraph. Dude.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm all right.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I mean we have you know, we have a couple
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: of books that are on our slate that are internal
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: books for us that we feel that way about that
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: our stream of consciousness.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, because at the end.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Because you know, the way that we picked the books
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: for Bad then is every it's one for us and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: one for the zeitgets. So we picked one book that's
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: our book that we're publishing, that we control with an author,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: and then it's one book that we discovered that we
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: like that we thought was cool or interesting, and they
• 18:50
