the f- that, the line that got me right away is, "My father was born Francis Raymond Campbell on the, on a cold West Virginia day in 1930. He claimed to have grown up on the rugged shores of, of the Blue Stone River." Like, that almost seemed like, uh, uh, th- uh, you're questioning whether, uh And now, obviously, it's a novel and fiction, but the character is questioning whether his father even told the truth about where he was born and, and was raised.

[82:09-82:22]

Uh, anytime I would ask my father anything about family, about his past, it would always be either some sort of fictional answer or maybe it was the truth.

[83:32-83:46]

There you go. Uh, 'ca- when I had Kelly Carlin, the daughter of George Carlin, on the program, I was talking about my father had He was a liar, uh, but, but also, like, lots of stories like that about me and all.

[90:20-90:28]

And, you know, if, you know, there's a line in the book, if I was born a daughter, I would've had a different relationship with my dad.

[91:14-91:19]
