The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Well, thank you for being here. Thanks. I'm really appreciative of your time and the fact that you are willing to talk about this.
This is a very interesting book and extremely controversial.
And I'm not exactly sure why that is, but I think it's a part of the times we're living in.
How many copies? Your book is called Unsettled.
Correct.
There it is.
How many copies of this book?
So we sold since it was published at the end of April, so about 10 months ago.
We sold more than 120,000 copies.
120,000 copies.
I don't know anything about publishing, but my agent and publisher are sort of amazed at the numbers.
That's a lot. And without much fanfare from the media, if any.
Well, it depends which media you look at.
Where have you gotten coverage?
So I've gotten good coverage from the Wall Street Journal, but if you look at the New York Times, Washington Post, not very good coverage at all.
Didn't make the New York Times bestseller.
That seems strange, because it's a lot of copies.
Yeah, right. Well, you would think, right?
