And today we're playing a fun little game we would love for you guys to play with us, whether in the comments to yourself in your car. I'm just, I'm excited to play. We're playing a game called One has to go bookish edition. So we're gonna say three things and you have to pick one of them to leave no longer exist. You know this is gonna pain me. Yeah, it's gonna pain me too. But before we do that, we're going to pick books for each other. It's been a while. We do a segment where we pick for books for each other and then we report back. So, uh, last time Kennedy picked for me.
A (0:56)
Yes.
B (0:57)
Right. Uh, Reggie picked for Kennedy and I picked for Reggie. And so we're gonna report back and then we're doing a little rotate and we're picking new books for each other.

You guys are both looking at me, so should I go? Yep.
C (1:17)
Okay.
B (1:17)
Yes.
A (1:17)
Reggie picked for me Wild Dark shore by Charlotte McConaughey.
C (1:21)
And I rated it two and a half stars, guys. And I'm really bad at picking books for you guys.
B (1:28)
In my review, I said that was a generous two and a half stars.
A (1:31)
Okay. I think I just went in with expectations of what the book was going to be and it wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be. It's also my fault because I didn't read the synopsis. So I was going into it thinking it was going to be this high octane thriller and that is not at
B (1:49)
all what it is. Oh yeah.
A (1:52)
I listened to it on audio and while I really liked the accents of the narrators, I think I would have liked it more if I would have read it because I do remember I did a lot of chores and a lot of work while listening to the book. So I think I missed out on a lot of the interactions and the emotional sub context because I wasn't paying attention fully. And I think in order to get out, to get what is intended out of the book, you need that subcontext and I didn't have that. So it just wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't connect with any of the characters. I found it to be kind of slow paced. And I do really 100% believe because I went in with certain expectations and it was the exact opposite. That's why I didn't enjoy it, and that's. That's all. But I can see why you loved it. I genuinely can.
