And we're live. How are you Chuck?
I am great. Look at this place.
Thanks for being here man. Appreciate it.
Thank you.
I've read your books. I've watched movies based on your books, so it's very cool to meet you in real life.
It's always a disappointment. It is always so heartbreaking because people expect somebody, somebody so not me.
And I am constantly breaking their heart when they meet me.
Well, I expect you, so you're not breaking my heart at all. I'm very pleased to meet you.
So I didn't have any weirdo expectations or any delusions of who you are.
And don't just, just don't, don't kill yourself, okay?
I meet Anthony Bourdain and he kills himself.
Well, I think there's a lot of other factors involved there.
I don't know. I see this. So many of my peers is like the moment I meet them, boom, they're gone.
Yeah, I'm not going to do that. Okay, so don't worry. Everything's fine.
Listen, I want to talk to you about a bunch of things. First of all, I'd love to talk to you about your writing process.
Because one of the, one of the things that I've read once is I believe you were writing down, it was on the Cape, it was in Massachusetts.
Were you ever writing down there? Were you ever writing somewhere where you made a deal with yourself where you wouldn't turn the heat on unless you were writing?
Oh my gosh, you think I'm a white person, don't you? That is so weird. The Cape? The Cape?
You've never been to the Cape Cod? That's like in England. Is that all white people? New England. New England. Yes, no.
