's a process. It doesn't have to be an app. It could be something that gets the same thing done. And it goes like this. Number one, how much do you dislike commercials on your television? I think you don't like them at all. Wouldn't you wish that if you were watching live TV where you can't fast forward that you could have something entertain you during the commercials? And yet, here's the key, an…

It took four days for me to figure that out and I had to find it myself. Nobody mentioned that to me. None of you. Nobody. Really? Seriously? There's not one of you who already knew that and thought to mention it? Come on. I rely on you to tell me the obvious stuff. Four days and I didn't know that.
Now call my agent. Now I don't have an agent for that kind of stuff. I have an agent for my books but not a general agent. So here's what I'd like to say. Rick and Morty is just about the best thing on television. And being featured in that, even if they mock it, I haven't seen it so I don't know if they treat it like a cultural icon or they treat it mockingly. Either way is fine with me because I'm such a fan of the show. Somebody says my audience doesn't watch Rick and Morty. What's wrong with you? You should. Yeah it's, I would say it's my favorite animated show of all time. Could I say that? Yeah I could. I think I could say that. I think it's my favorite animated show of all time including my own.

And I'm hoping this will maybe stop the tide, this rising problem of lynching which I don't believe has happened in a long time. I don't know anybody who's opposed to a bill against lynching. You could argue that the states already did it but I don't mind that the federal government makes it official. If you could say that, you know I would say maybe it wasn't the most important thing we were working on. So if it was easy, you know it didn't cost anything, okay. I mean I feel like it was unnecessary work so I'm not sure I would have done it. Solves a problem that doesn't really exist but as a messaging thing sure, I agree with the message. So if it didn't cost too much, yeah I'm not gonna hate it.
But I wonder, was anyone on the other side of that argument? Like who? I mean anybody who took the other side of this argument was really not playing this right. Because you know, and I understand you might say something like oh we already have laws why waste our time. I get that. But don't say it. Don't s

ay it. I understand if you think it but how in the world could this be politically smart to be the one who gets singled out for being against it? It's such an obvious trap. And here's how I would have played it if I were in Congress. So that just so I don't get caught in this you're against the anti-lynching bill. I would have been more forth than anybody. I would have been for digging up people…
