00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.359
How Jim will want to get involved
with this one. Sadly, I can

2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.559
feel it. I can feel it. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to topics.

3
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:25.320
You that was pretty good. You
were like start a host that hasn't

4
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.879
been started for a year. That's
what you sounded like. I think mine

5
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.119
sounded better to be. You just
gotta get the SoundBite from a CDC.

6
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:38.079
Just I'm here with the Nursy Nano
and the Game Day boys, and uh,

7
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.840
we'll say, we'll say good companies, very own Nano. That sounds

8
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.240
good. Huh, dab on them
all right, it's gonna get weird here.

9
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.759
I don't know, because Nico's dumb
like me. No, you're just

10
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:54.280
stupid like me. Listening to an
audiobook does not count for reading a book,

11
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.399
that's the case. I'm not sure
I've ever read a book in my

12
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.640
life. Yeah I have. I
haven't read a book in a while.

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.320
Then, shit, I've actually never
listened to an audiobook before. Yes,

14
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.000
you read casually? Yeah, okay, so you're smart. Are you lying

15
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:15.519
as articles now? And like um
articles or books? Articles? Yeah?

16
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.599
I read fucking Instagram captions? Fuck
me, what are we talking about that

17
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.040
we're talking about? Okay? But
I've never listened to an audiobook. Why

18
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.959
don't you just read? Because I
you're lazy? That's no. Whoa,

19
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.280
it's really hard to write a bicycle
going twenty miles per hour with a book

20
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:36.439
in my hand. Maybe that's fucking
what the other thing, you're fucking dick.

21
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.719
The other thing is a lot of
people, UH learned through different passageways,

22
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.519
and some people read greatly and can
absorb all that information, and some

23
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.079
people do it better visually, and
some people do it more auditorially. How

24
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.560
about you smart one of the group. Well, I have to read textbooks?

25
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.439
Yeah? For fun? No?
Is that just because you're tired from

26
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.519
textbooks? Or what about what a
hypothetic? Weren't in school times where you

27
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.120
had breaks? Would you ever read
for frenzies? Um? I thought about

28
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.480
it a bunch of times because recently
I think a lot of good books have

29
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.319
been coming out, But since my
nursing textbooks or at least one hundred something

30
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.680
pages per chapter, I'm okay,
I got a good book for you.

31
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.879
Now, have you ever read attached? No? I have? How about

32
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.639
how about this? I'll record myself
reading it to you all. Listen.

33
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.719
It's about your good FaceTime me or
call me and I'll put you in my

34
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.319
pocket and riding my bike. Can
you get read it to me? Basically,

35
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.960
this book teaches you about like love
attachment styles. Oh, I know

36
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.360
that's bullshit. No, hey,
it's a really good book. I don't

37
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.240
think you guys think I can't be
loved? Is that what you guys are

38
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:45.400
all attacking me? If you read
the book, then i'd find love.

39
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.759
You might. I think you're gonna
word more one and you hear my voice

40
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.479
reading it to you, though you
have a decent voice. If I write

41
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.439
a book and it goes to New
York bestseller, you'll do the audio for

42
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.240
me. I don't like my voice. I love reading it. People can't

43
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:04.599
even read? Are you stupid?
What else can I do? You have

44
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.360
a good voice? Yeah, I
hate my voice. I like I like

45
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:08.280
reading to it. Just I don't
really have the time to read right now.

46
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.560
Yeah, to make the time?
No, probably? I like sleep

47
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.039
though, I know. But you
could also probably just organize your shit and

48
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:15.879
probably make the time. Yeah.
No, I gotta be honest. I

49
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.280
would much rather these days. I
would much rather just listen to an audiobook

50
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.719
than just actively read, which is
kind of sad because I love reading.

51
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.439
I have like six or seven books. You think it was major by the

52
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.639
way, I was, I was, I have I have like six or

53
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.199
seven books that I like, really
enjoy. I just never I'd never get

54
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:36.960
time to actually put any like work
towards him. I do like ten pages

55
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.360
a day on the toilet, and
that's kind of it. It's pretty good.

56
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.840
Alright, long, that's a long
shit. Yeah, I just read

57
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.080
fast all right from the English major
himself. Then does an audio book count

58
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.960
as reading the book? I think
it does. Yeah, what do you

59
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:54.400
got nano? No? No,
I like the physical copies. Okay,

60
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.560
well let's try to like say that
you read the lyrics to a song.

61
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.439
Did you listen to the song?
Oh that's deep. No. But because

62
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.639
music has more elements than just words, books don't. Yeah, books are

63
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.560
words? Got your ass? Got
your ass, bitch? Suddenly audio books

64
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.960
are music because you're listening to audio
books for music. I'm trying. If

65
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:19.480
you saw the movie disaccount as the
book, dude, Yeah, never read

66
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.560
Harry Potter bro the video game came
out. Oh yeah, I almost.

67
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.079
I was called in sick today Kyles
that he wanted to go home for a

68
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.959
little bit ling versus like nothing.
Yeah, I was called the stake.

69
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.120
Yeah. I might have never read
a book in my life, and audio

70
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.000
books weren't a thing when I was
a kid. Yeah, but like high

71
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.639
school and stuff. Nah, what
do we know? No, he's just

72
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.279
naturally gifted. He just knows.
He touches it like ye already, I

73
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.920
am pretty smart. He didn't read
like of Mice and Men. Dude,

74
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.000
I breathed it. There's no way
that was actually a really good book.

75
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:53.240
All right, bro, I can't
focus for longer than ten minutes. Why

76
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.480
do you think these episodes or ten
minutes? Scarlet The Scarlett Letter was the

77
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.319
only book that I was like,
Okay, people over hate on this book.

78
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.360
I definitely breathed in one of those
two watch that movie or something,

79
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:10.360
read that ship. I have no
brothers Kara mals Off English major apparently brothers

80
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:18.800
Kara mals Off. Shouldn't you know
this, Joe? See go google fucking

81
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.680
brothers. Devil may Cry. That's
basically the same thing. Make Care was

82
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.839
my favorite I Place Mythology video game. Right. Yeah, definitely might cry.

83
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:33.560
I read the book exactly exactly.
I think the audio book fucking counts.

84
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.720
Yeah, I don't think it counts. I don't think. I think,

85
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.279
how does it not? It's you
literally are absorbing. Wait, if

86
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.800
you're blind, I have to make
account. You have to make it because

87
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.519
like, yeah, yeah, you're
discriminating account. To me, it's more

88
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.399
like how you absorb it. If
you don't absorb the book, then you

89
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.279
didn't read the book neither I could
read. I'm not I'm not braill reading.

90
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.199
I'm listening. I mean they do. But yeah, the audience with
