So our guest today is Mike Drucker. He is an Emmy nominated writer, producer, and stand up comedian. He named the famous Zelda character Groose. That's right. And from what I've heard, he was killed by the Terminator. That's right. And most recently, he wrote Good Game, no Rematch. But we are here today to talk about the book that changed his life, which is Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. Yep. Here's the book that changed my life. It is the May 1993 Braille issue of Playboy. I didn't know that they made actual Playboys. No, they really did. That's crazy. That's so cool. Can you tell me anything about the centerfold? What do you think? Like, what? Blonde, brunette, had a successful life after this, ended up very happy, married a comedian, filled. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
