Tosh Show! Tosh Show! Tosh Show! Tosh Show! Tosh Show! Tosh Show! 3, 2, Welcome to the show. Tosh Show for Show. Three, two, welcome to the show.

I'm Daniel Tosh. You like that, Eddie? I do like that. I'm calling it the show. It seems cooler. I feel like that's what the kids probably call this. Oh, the show, yeah. Hey, did you guys see the new show?

Hey, it's Tuesday, what are you doing? I'm probably gonna check out the show. Who's on? Who cares? The show's on. The show's on. I'm gonna get that to spread. Let's start calling this the show. Oh, man.

Why don't we just call it the show to begin with? Is there something else already called the show? I don't think so. Nothing in the history of entertainment has been called the show. It was the big show. This isn't the big show. It's just the show. Oh, man the big show, it was just the show.

Oh man, I can't believe it's called that. I love it. All right, today's the first Tuesday of November. You know what that means. Insurrection. Insurrection. There's bad people on both sides, guys. I've said it. I've said it a hundred times.

Do you guys know what all the props are on the ballots? No. Yeah, it's always like vote yes on 18, no on 19. There's never a box for maybe. Maybe. I write it in. I write maybe in. We'll see. So when you guys see the tallies coming in later tonight, you're going to see one vote

for maybe. Question mark. That's my vote. Hey, you think they're going to announce who the president of the United States is going to be by the end of tonight? Never. I doubt it. It's going to be sad that this election's over

because it's really been fun. Oh yeah. The campaigning, it's just been fun. You're getting to see the best of America in an election year. I'm gonna miss that. I think presidential terms should also be like Supreme Court justices for life.

But every year we vote in another president. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah, you're gonna have lots of presidents. Are they sharing the house? Yeah, they all live there. It's a reality show. There's cameras everywhere. It's gonna be awesome. White House. It's called the White House. Yeah. Yeah, it's like there's a live feed or you can watch just the weekly put-together package or you can just watch it all day long and they just all live there. And they all have to agree on stuff and figure things out. Nobody's getting voted out until one they die. They die. Okay. And then okay, fine.

But at any given time, there can be, you know, 30, 40 presidents. I'm just spit balling. I'm just spit balling, guys. I don't have all the answers. That's a great state of the union. Let's get on it. You know what country does it?

Costa Rica. Well, yeah, that's it. You have to look. I don't know. You know what country actually does this? It's not a unique idea, that's it. You have to look. I don't know. You know what country actually does this? It's not a unique idea. Nicaragua. They got it together down there.

Yeah. That worked. I'm pretty sure Columbia does this too. The few of these places are nailing it. You know actually which country does this? Turks and Caicos. Oh. Yeah. They got it figured out there. People love it which country does this Turks and Caicos? Oh, yeah, they got it figured out there.

People love it there. People love Turks and Caicos. Did you know that originally it was just one country Turks? Didn't know that. I thought it was Caicos. You know, another thing I'd like to point out, whoever wins this election, you know, if Kamala wins because she's the better person and better candidate, that's great. Now, if Trump wins, I'd love to check in on these people's lives that have been so horrible

the past four years and just see how amazing their lives are now. Did he fix all your problems? That would be fun. That'd be fun to check in with him. I don't even, to be honest with you, and I probably shouldn't admit this on a comedy podcast, but do I really vote? Well, I get a ballot and my wife gets a ballot

and she fills both of them out for me. She fills mine out for me. Now we agree politically, but sometimes she's like, oh, I'm not going to vote to legalize gambling in the state of California. And I get furious. I'm like, but that's what I want. And she's like, fuck you. Technically, I guess that is voter fraud, but you know, what are you going to do?

I'll tell you what we need right now in this moment, the ultimate distraction for the political unrest. And it's today's guest, an author who focuses on teenagers that are not old enough to vote getting fingered by monsters and unicorns. Yeah. Enjoy. Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, B.B. King, Miriam Makeba.

I shook up the world. James Brown said, said love. And the kid said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important

that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa.

Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Julian Edelman. I'm Rob Gronkowski. Guess what, folks? We're teammates again.

And we're gonna welcome you guys all to Dudes on Dudes. I'm a dude, you're a dude, and Dudes on Dudes is our brand new show. We're gonna highlight players, peers, guys that we played against, legends from the past, and we're just gonna sit here and talk about them. And we'll get into the types of dudes. What kind of types of dudes are there, Grumps?

We got studs, wizards, we got freaks. Or dudes dudes. We got dogs. Dogs! We'll break down their games, we'll share some insider stories and determine what kind of dude each of these dudes are. Is Randy Moss a stud or a freak?

Is Tom Brady a dog or a dudes dude? We're gonna find out Jules. New episodes drop every Thursday during the NFL season. Listen to Dudes on Dudes on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. day during the NFL season. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered. My name is Manuel de Lilla. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unearths the plot to murder a one-woman WikiLeaks.

Tiffany exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My guest today is an author who uses her art form to explore what makes teenagers so damn sexy. And as she sat down across a rather drab table from me in a dark studio on the outskirts of LA, my heart began pounding, knowing all too well our eyes would soon meet. And with every slow,

deliberate adjustment of my microphone, I knew I was on borrowed time before the listening audience would discover our throbbing secret. Please welcome Dana Claire! What an intro. How was it? Oh, it was good. Thank you. It had the word throbbing in it and I know that that, that is definitely, you have to tick that box. Yes, throbbing is definitely what gets the kids to read your books these days. Do you say tick or do you say check?

Like when you're talking about boxes, like, oh, that checked a lot of boxes, or do you say that ticked a lot of boxes? I say checked. Most people do, but I think the right, I think the correct thing is tick. Am I wrong? I think you're right. I think the correct thing is tick. Am I wrong? I think you're right.

I think I'm right. That's all I need. That's my fact checker. He just basically goes, I think you're right every time. But it's really about perception being reality. So even if your fact checker is right, what does the rest of the world think? They think I'm an idiot.

I don't think so. Dana, do you believe in ghosts? Yes. Good. Thanks. Finally, now, convince me. I mean, do you believe in ghosts? Yes. Good. Thanks. Finally. Now, convince me. I mean, how can they not be?

What happens after somebody dies but isn't ready to go to the beyond? It's just human souls that are the ghosts. I think so. Okay. Yeah. Have you ever had an interaction with a ghost? Oh, man. Kind of.

Oh, you want me to tell you? Yeah, I do. Okay, good. Unless it's hard to believe. Well, it's probably gonna be hard to believe. Okay. But my mom passed, and I was in my late 20s, and the night that she passed,

my dad was trying to get all the things together that were gonna go inside her coffin. I know this is like a sad story. So he's like, putting all this, she had a whole list. She knew she was dying, so we planned this out. So anyway, he's like putting everything together because he doesn't want to forget it. And he couldn't find this broken Yadro.

Do you know what a Yadro is? I don't. Okay, it's a very expensive statue. It was like the first very expensive present I gave my mother when I was younger. So I broke it in good old kid fashion. I elbowed it, it fell. So the broken one my mom wanted to be buried with

and he just couldn't find it. So later that night, I kind of had a dream that someone sat on the edge of my bed and I like woke up and there was like a figure, but I didn't like quite see it. And it told me where the Yadro was. The next morning I woke up and I said to my dad, I kind of think I saw mom last night

and she said the Yadro is in one of the kitchen cabinets. And sure enough, it was in a kitchen cabinet. I mean, okay, it's a heartwarming story and I'm not gonna discredit it. I just wish she would have been more specific than one of the cabinets. Right, yeah. Yeah, I know.

I mean, you got a little vague. Or she could have given me like the pick six numbers too. Like if she really wanted to help me out. Well, I don't know. Just because you're a ghost, I don't believe that they can see into the future. No, all right, that's fair. You're right.

Is Dana Claire your pen name? Dana Claire is my first and middle name. Interesting. All right, talk to me like I'm an idiot. So it's gonna be a big stretch. Okay. Explain to me what young adult is, the whole genre, the books,

and why people are so into them. Go on. Okay, so young adult is supposed to be like 13 to 18, but over the last decade, it's really kind of evolved to that like 17 to 19, and it's gotten spicy, which is why, have you heard Twilight? Yeah.

Yeah, so like that was really when I think young adult went, skyrocketed, and people were like, we must jump on this train. By the way, Twilight, unwatchable. Really? Unwatchable. It looks like it's shot off a cell phone. Fair, but a lot of people did watch it.

Uh-huh, everyone watched it. Yeah, everybody. Garbage. Garbage that, there's a hook. Just-huh. Everyone watched it. Yeah, everybody. Garbage. Garbage that... Just complete garbage. There's a hook. But do you know why? Why?

Why people love it so much? Because they were hot dudes. Turn it into werewolves. Yes, but sure. But the tropes. Do you know what a trope is? Mm-mm. OK, so a trope is like enemies to lovers

or forbidden romance, things like that, where people love the idea of like, he wanted to devour her. You talked about Thrabbe before devour is a good one too. And he wanted to eat her and then all this, like I can't have you, I can't have you. He's like centuries old, she's like 16. It's like taboo.

These are things that hook people. What's his name tried to eat people? He got canceled for it. What's his name? Army Hammer. Army Hammer, Army Hammer. That guy, he was real into cannibalism or something. I don't know exactly.

That's not as catchy. You grew up in New Jersey, but always tell people you're from New York. I do. Do you do that because New Jersey is depressing? Yes. And the people are always like, oh, the armpit of America.

And I'm like, no, it's beautiful. It has horse farms. Well, then why don't you embrace it? Be the sunshine that it needs. Yeah, it really does need like some positive marketing to it, some PR for New Jersey. But I lived in New York for over 10 years. So like, I feel like that counts, yeah?

Well, yeah, I just know you're not from there. No, I'm not. I'm from Florida. Oh. Born in Germany. You know, I've got those two no, I'm not. I'm from Florida. Oh. Born in Germany. I've got those two nooses around my neck. I have to embrace them. Do you talk about them a lot?

No. Right. Feels fair then. You went to the University of Delaware and studied English. I did. How was your time at the University of Delaware? I loved it. I was an English major though, because I

was failing every other class. And my advisor was like, hey hey you do really well at English why don't you take that on as a major. Give me some of the jobs that you had from college out of college etc before you got into this current world. Well I was a bartender. Were you a good bartender? I was fantastic as long as you didn't order anything too complicated. Okay did you have attitude? I was fantastic, as long as you didn't order anything too complicated. Okay. Did you have attitude? I had attitude, I had sass, I was loving it.

You know, give me a stage and a spotlight. Did you love the movie Coyote Ugly? Oh my God, do you want to hear a story? Yep. Okay, so that's why we're here. Yeah, okay. So, oh my God, this is so going far in the wrong direction. But, so that is actually called, that Coyote Ugly movie was based off of Red Rock Bar.

I had an audition for it. And I, yeah, I'm also a really good dancer. I danced my whole life. Yeah. I teach bars. I believe it. I go on. You already see them.

Okay. So I loved it. I mean, I loved the dance. I loved being on the bar. There was a part where you have to pour cold water on yourself. And I'm allergic to cold water. I have cold euticaria. So, like, I couldn't physically do the job, and that's why I didn't take it.

I mean, I'm not... I don't... You're gonna take this the wrong way. No, I'm not. I'm gonna love it. But you're kind of like a witch. I believe in ghosts! If I threw a bucket of water on you... Yeah. You're done. I'm so done. I've never heard of water on you... Yeah? You're done. I'm so done.

I've never heard of such an allergy. I know. So, like, you could never do a cold plunge. No, no, it would kill me. It would actually kill you? It would actually kill me. So there are, like, things I'm not allowed to do. I have an EpiPen.

What's the temp? I don't know. The way they figured it out is I ended up in the ER, like, a bunch of different times, and I had to start keeping a diary, and it would be, like, after a cold shower, after I went in the ocean. So then they started times and I had to start keeping a diary and it would be like after a cold shower, after I went in the ocean. So then they started to be like, something's happening.

So they put an ice pack on my arm and my arm blew up with hives and they were like, oh, she has cold euticaria. Cold euticaria. Yeah. I'm so excited that I learned something today. Thank you. How many books have you written?

10 that are published, but I have like another eight that aren't out yet. How long does it take you to write a book? It depends how much time I have. I mean, I can't- What's the shortest time you've ever written a book? Two months. Two months?

How many pages is that? Well, a word count is what we normally go by. Word count? Yeah, about 80 to 90,000 words, which is approximately, depending on how big the book is, around like 350 pages. Okay, all right, so continue. How did you get into it?

So I went into sales and business and made a lot of money, but very busy, lots of traveling and flying every week. The pandemic was the first time I think, I don't know, since college, I actually was sitting there like, what do I do with myself? So I was like, I think I'm going to start to write again. I haven't written in a really long time. And I just, the words just flowed out of me. And next thing you know, I was researching how to publish it.

What's the difference between self-pub and traditional publishing, which I'm a hybrid, so I'm both. Okay. And that was it. That was really what it is. I just had time for the first time ever. I didn't have a job. You, you, you write the book, you finished writing the book.

Yeah. How does it go from that to people actually reading it? I failed miserably. I literally put it on Amazon. I didn't even know what I was doing. I didn't even have a proofreader or an editor. I knew nothing when I first did it. I was lucky I had 500 people buy it and that was just family and friends. It was after that tragic downfall. The first book I wrote was called The Connection, which I'm thankful they didn't bring up. War of the Sea was like my big hit. That was the one where I started to get recognition. So I did it terribly and realized that like what am I really good

at? Business. So go back to the drawing board, learn everything you possibly can about the publishing industry, and then let's do it again. And that's when I got picked up by my publisher. And then things took off on the next swing? Then the next swing they started to take off, yes. So War of the Sea came out, that won five awards. The Hunterlund Sea came out, that won five awards. The Hunter Linn series came out. That's actually optioned for TV right now. Is that always the goal or is it just in the back of your mind?

Are you like, no, I want to write the best young adult novel that I can and I don't care whether it gets picked up for TV. No, I wrote that to market. I was like, this could go on TV tomorrow. You've got some people that write what's called bespoke, which is outside of the box It's not writing to market You don't have an exact audience

But those are not the people that are looking to get picked up by a big publisher or make that into a TV show Is it better to self publish? Honestly, yes, I think so you make a heck of a lot more money, but I think hybrid is the way to go so you can take your marketing that you have from your publisher or some of the promos that you get, like going to Insta, Barnes and Nobles, and then you can say, well, I also have all of this over here.

Because once you have a reader read one of your books, they normally, if they like you, devour all of it. Now you write, correct me if I'm wrong, clean young adult, is that what it is? It's clean. So I'm just about to get into that spicy romance next year. So you're like the hallmark of young adult. Yeah.

Like how far like Hallmark, they take it to a kiss in their movies. That's it. Are you guys making out in your book? There's like heavy petty. That's like where we stop. Over or under the shirt? Over.

OK. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. I know, but it's going under next year because let me tell you. Now you write clean because you have certain family members that you don't want to upset. Is that partially true? Yeah, my dad reads everything I write.

So I was like, when I first wrote my first spicy book, I'm like, I can't do this. I just cannot have my father read this. But my husband came home and he was like, those spicy romance authors sure make a lot of money. I'm thinking you need to change your ways. Yeah. I've always kind of done comedy where I know

that my parents are listening. My mom's listening right now. Yeah. She's just like, why do you have to say these horrible things? But I always say, once they pass, oh, the edge I'm gonna throw on this world. Oh no! It's gonna, so like, do you have that in your head?

Like, oh, if a couple key family members were out of the picture, I'm gonna write some real juice. Yes, I do. But I feel like my dad's not gonna die for a long time, so I'm just gonna have to do it now. Let's have him around for a long time. We do. But he's leaving a lot of money on the table.

Yeah. Yes, yes. I'm telling you, these, when I go to these book signings, and readers come up to me and they ask me, like, what's your spice level? They are hungry for the spice. What is your spice level? I'm probably like a two or three peppers, but a five pepper is like everyone's fan favorite.

Gosh. I mean, the things that at book signings that happen are crazy with just writing clean romance. Do you have photos in your books? Yes, a lot of authors are now doing that. I mean, I just saw yesterday morning a cock with tentacles around it because it was a fantasy novel. It was wild. There is a book called A Court of Thorns and Roses, that's fey porn.

It's literally about fairies and it's fey porn and people love it. They devour it. What level do you take the heat back? Like how far? I mean, is it like full? So, so far I'm clean. If you do, I know, but if you did a five jalapeno

or whatever you call it, is it like penetration? Are they writing about all of it? Oh God, yes. In all different places, multiple times. You know there's a genre called reverse harem. So it's a girl just, it's like a gangbang, but it's like, okay.

And you just read it? They read it. Oh my God, people get lost in these worlds. You have no idea what these conferences are like when readers come in. They are savage. The conference, and who are these fans? Are they questionable?

Do you worry about who some of these, hey, you're not, you're not meant to be reading this book. Oh yeah. I mean, I mean, I've had the weirdest requests. I've said no to some of them. I've been like, okay, maybe like, can you sign your name and a penis next to it squirting jizz? And I'm like, I write clean romance, but okay, I'll try. They want, they want you to draw jizz.

Yes. When you knew you wanted to be an author, was it always going to be in this genre? I think so. It has the most angst. And it's like you're not dealing with the drama of like, you know, a spouse cheating on you or like, you know, things that my age would actually have to deal with. It's like, remember when you were in high school and it was just about the person you were like madly and deeply in love with and like making the cheerleading team or the football team or I don't know, whatever you were into.

I wasn't into either. Okay. What were you into? What would I write about if I was writing about you? I don't know. My memory of high school is, is so, um, cloudy. No, I don't know if it's revisionist or I just kind of wanted to get through it, you know? You didn't enjoy high school?

I mean, I liked it fine and I had friends that I enjoyed, but I kind of was like, well, this isn't it. Okay. I was never somebody like, these are the best years of my life. If people, if I truly believed when people said these are the best years of your life, I would have killed myself. Oh my goodness. Okay.

I could see that too. Those were not the best years of my life either. No. No. You live in the now? Yeah. This is the best time of your life? I'm a yoga teacher, we're all about the present. I love it. You're married?

I am. How long? Five years. Five years. Yes, I love him. Well, sure you should. No, like I really love him. Uh-huh.

How long have you dated before you got married? We were, on our second date, We're like, we should get married. Oh, that's a disaster. But we've been together for almost seven years. Okay, so you said it after your second date, but you didn't do it after your second date. You waited the proper amount of time, two years. Well, we, we know. We got engaged 30 days later, and then we waited for the wedding. Okay, that's fine.

Yeah, yeah, we did. That's fine. Is this your first marriage? No. How many? Well I've been proposed to a lot. Well that's awesome. Yeah but I was like a runaway bride for a little bit but then I did do one and then we were divorced like 90 days later so very Kim Kardashian of me. Didn't even count. No. I mean it counts in the eyes of the Lord and you'll have to deal with that at some point. Yes, at judgment day.

Mm-hmm. All right, so you're happily married now and you really do love this guy. Oh yeah. If you don't mind, is he older or younger than you? I like him young. He's six and a half years younger than me. Six and a half years younger.

Yep. That's good. I mean, it's not like record breaking. No, I mean, you're right. You're not dating like, you know, waiting for a kid like record breaking. No, I mean, you're right. You're not dating like a, you know, waiting for a kid to turn 18. No, no, no. That'd be fun.

Although that would help with the demographics of what I write. Mm. Right? Let's get into this Olympian Wars series. You have War of the Sea, War of the Land, and War of the Mind. Tell me, where are we warring next?

No, that one's over. That's a trilogy, and it's done. It's done. It's done. You could always do a prequel. I could. I love that you know what a prequel is. Do you know what a novella is?

Why? I know it. So proud of you. It seems like I'm like a seven year old. I think my son is five and knows what a prequel is. That's funny. Did you write monsters? Easy. Falling in love?

That could be deadly. I think that's the tagline from my book. It's the tagline from Hunterland. Yes, it is. Did you write that tagline? I feel like there might be a couple words missing in there, but yes, the tagline was right. Monsters?

Easy. Falling in love? That could be deadly. Oh, man, that's good. Yeah, there you go. That was much better. Silver bullets aren't enough to protect your heart. Yeah.

Oh, yep. I could just melt. What, right? Right here. I love it. Man, you had a busy pandemic. Sure did. As a writer, is spelling important? a busy pandemic. Mm-hmm, sure did. As a writer, is spelling important?

No, there's spell check, there's editors. Go wild. I can't spell it all. We also make up a lot of words. Do you? Yes. Like for what? For everything, it's fiction.

You say you just make up words? You can make up words left and right. Talk to me about your process. Like how regimented are you? Do you wake up at 4.30 every morning and start writing for six hours? I do wake up at 4.30 every morning, but not to start writing, to start working,

because I own a company in the publishing industry as well. You wake up at 4.30? I do. What time do you go to bed? Probably around, like, 10. Ugh, that's not enough sleep. It's not. You nap?

I do not. You don't nap? No, I have a lot of energy. I love napping. Oh, well naps are great. The Europeans do it. I can nap like just like this, just sitting straight up. I can just close my eyes and fall asleep within three minutes. And your body doesn't go anywhere? No. You just stay upright? I can. I can do it. That's like a trick. Yeah. How annoying are reviews? I think they're entertaining. I once had my favorite review, it was a one star.

It said, this book is just too YA. Thank you. You fuck with Kindles? Do I fuck with them? Like, yeah, I read off of them. You like Kindles? Do you read book books? Uh-uh.

Do you read off Kindles? No, I prefer book. That's what I mean, a book book. Like a physical book. Oh, sorry. I didn't hear you say book. Sorry. Are you a paperback or a hardback? Hardback? Yeah. I like to spend.

Yeah. I like to make sure that money goes in. You're my ideal ICP. Does young adult come in hardcover? Sure does. Okay. The spicier it is, the harder. Just kidding. Oh. There's your tagline.

Does the same person make the cover art for every romance novel? No. It seems very similar. Really? Oh, because of the Naked Men? I don't know, just all of them. Well, no, I mean, there's like, cover design artists, there's like thousands of them.

Okay. And now there's what's called discrete covers. So where, do you remember the Fabio covers from back in our parents day? I know Fabio. You do? Love that man. That's what great hair. Well, I don't know if it's still great, but yeah, he, at one point.

One, at one point it was lovely. It was like a Pantene commercial. Do I know Fabio? Sure. I don't know. Didn't we do a bit with him? Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah.

I know. Okay. All right. That's how I say I know him. If they, if I've worked with him one time, I know them. You know him. Best friends. No, we're not best friends, but he seemed... I get him and Cato Kaling confused a lot.

They're very similar. All right, Fabio. Okay, Fabio. So remember those covers. Yes. So now, fast forward in the present, we don't have those types of covers anymore. You have two versions of covers. You have the male wearing nothing, like no shirt, right?

And then you have what's called a discrete cover, which is probably like big typography and flowers. So you get those two different types of covers. You knew we were going here. Let's talk fourth wing. Where do you stand? And how would you rate Iron Flame? And are you excited about Onyx Storm?

Ah, that's... You don't even know what these books are? Of course not. I love you. I, it's not a clue. Well, I think Fourth Wing changed my business, not my author career, but the business that I own, which is called the Ink Fluence,

because Fourth Wing's publisher decided when they launched the book that they would launch a special edition. That version, that limited version would be the first, I think like 50,000 books that they sold. And that changed the course of everything. After that happened and how popular it was, every author under the sun wanted a special edition.

Your company that you started, does it help other writers? It does, yep. Well, see, now Pete, his wife, she's a writer too. My wife's a writer, they both write film and television. But they're always trying to write other things. Pete's wife, Sam, she wrote a mystery novel that I'm told is amazing. What is it?

Can you get it off, get it going? Cause she hasn't found the publisher. I don't know what the hangup is, but she needs help. She needs help. My wife wrote a poetry book. Ooh. And she wants help getting that published. So that's a publishing house.

What we do is we work with publishing houses and we work with authors to create special editions. And special editions are the books that have foil or sprayed edges or spot gloss UV, just some special embellishments on them. And then we produce them overseas. Because I've been an importer for China for over 20 years. Oh.

And that business blew up. In less than six months, we're at Seven Figures. Let's get into your side hustle, which is a yoga years. Oh. And that business blew up in less than six months. We're at seven figures. Let's get into your side hustle, which is a yoga instructor. Yeah. You taught countless amount of classes. Oh yeah. Like 13 a week on top of a full-time job. I love teaching yoga.

Okay. Let's, let's get into it. Okay. How did you become a yoga instructor? You went to a class and like, oh, I could do this. No, my dad actually owned fitness clubs when I was little. So I was like this three year old, like climbing on the adductor and abductor machines.

I just loved the gym. And then when I came out to LA, started to get more into yoga. And I was like bitching to my dad about how expensive it is. And he was like, just go teach, then it'll be free. I was like, huh, I'm a public speaker. When did you move to LA? 2013.

Okay, all right. So you went to a class. What class did you go to, do you remember? Yeah, I will never forget. High-date yoga, bar class on a second date. Where is it? High-date yoga in Santa Monica. And I took a bar class on a date, which is like not the best thing to do on a date.

I don't know. Yeah, just like real sweaty, you know? I've never been to a yoga class. Oh, that's gonna change. No, it's not. Yes, I'm bringing you. I will drag you by your ear, been to a yoga class. Oh, that's going to change. No, it's not. Yes, I'm bringing you. I will drag you by your ear, sir. It's not my thing. It's not my thing. It could be your thing you don't know.

Yes, I had one of my family members or my wife's family members was a yoga instructor and she taught us at the house. But there was no heat. Oh, no, I don't do that. But hold on. Let me just point out some things that I remember hating. OK, go ahead.

Like she says, OK, now lay on your favorite side. I'm like, what? What the fuck are you talking about? That was a lot of pressure. I don't have a favorite side. What does that mean? My favorite side? Oh, I love this side. Well, it's supposed to be energy, right? I know. I don't like that talk.

You don't like that talk. Okay, well, I'm very like, I do high energy yoga classes. Okay. Like, yoga sculpt. So there's no like, you know, your feelings are involved. What's the... Oh, good. I don't like that talk. Okay, well I'm very like, I do high energy yoga classes. Like yoga sculpt. So there's no like, you know, your feelings are involved. What's the, good, I don't like the feelings bullshit. I don't have time for that. We need to move.

Talk to me about the temperature for hot yoga. What is it? What's it at? I don't mind heat. What temperature will get you in the class? No, I don't know. No, all right, like 110. That's the temperature?

Yeah, 105? No. Well that works. No. What's the percentage in your classes versus a guy, girl? Just out of curiosity. Oh, it depends. My, I have a lot of guys in my classes. I don't like smell.

Well, then. Right. I hate smell. If I smell someone, I'm just like, ah. You could move. I hate hearing noises. So you hate living? I don't like people looking at me.

I don't like to look at other people. I teach at Sweat, and there's no lights and no mirrors. You don't see anybody. Oh, gross. That's worse. I don't know. It just seems gross. People are touching.

I'm telling you, I've had a lot of famous people in my class. I'm sure. Who are some of the famous people? Oh, well, Vince Vaughn, his lovely. I'm telling you, I've had a lot of famous people in my class. I'm sure. Who are some of the famous people? Oh, well, Vince Vaughn, his lovely, he's just a lovely man, but he is really terrible at yoga. I think it's because he's so big and tight. He is a tall man doing yoga.

Sure, he's a tall man, but he's also a Trumper. I had my high school crush once in class. Oh, why did me saying Trump-er make you think of that? I don't know. I was like, how do I shift gears? Wait, you had your high school crush in one of your classes? I did. Did he come looking to rekindle? No, no, no. I mean, like, I would crush...

No, he was like a famous person. I had a crush on when I was in high school. Oh, sorry. That's my fault. Yeah, I think that might have been mine. What was your high school friend? Ryan Felipe. Oh yeah. Yeah. Are you kidding me? Cruel intentions? Yes, I'm tell, what?

What? Like the best movie ever. And when they didn't, in real life, when their relationship didn't work out, gut punch. Oh my God, it was so sad. Gut punch. I know. But now they're kids,

they're just like identical versions of them. Their kids are identical, it's clone-like almost. It is. That soundtrack of Cruel Intentions, I could just listen to that forever. One of the best movies, hands down. I don't think you're gonna get anyone to argue with you. Oh man.

So does that mean you might try one of my yoga classes? No! Oh, so there was no convincing in any of this at all? No, I don't want to. Okay. Can you do crazy poses? Not in this outfit, but yeah. I'm almost 50 and my son, I go to his break dancing class. He's five and he dances?

Yeah. I love that! Yeah, so anyway, I'm in his class and they're doing this pose where they're, you know, they're ciphering and he's teaching them different freestyle moves. But then they do this one thing and all the dads are watching this and I'm like, I can do that. And I just went out there and I did it. Better than your five-year-old?

No, way better than my five-year-old, but not as good as the instructor. But like I held it. I held a position. It was pretty impressive. So you could do yoga is what I hear. Well yeah, but I can also just fucking stretch on my own. Okay, so you do like stretching. No, I don't like it, but I'll do it. Okay.

And when I get massages, I tell them to incorporate stretching. Alright, so you don't have to do it on your own. That's lazy. That's so lazy. I know. It's so much better though. Okay. I give everybody that's on the show a gift. Okay.

Okay, but the gifts are just stuff that I find around my house that I don't want. How thoughtful of you. Well it's listen it started out as a way to get rid of stuff and now it's still that. I'm excited. Okay the first thing I'm giving you, oh it's an old journal that I didn't only use like three pages on. These are notes from the goat. I was at a reality TV show I hosted and I only wrote three pages of notes. So I'll get rid of those.

Oh no, I want those, I want those, I want those. No, those you don't get. Those are from the goat. Okay. That was the most valuable part of the gift. This is a book. It's so beautiful. This is a local artist.

As to my sweetheart. We have some of his pieces in our house, but he writes like, I don't know, he writes like cute things, like he writes on skateboards and they're always like little love letters, little tiny little lovers. Yeah, you'll like it. There's some cute.

You really want to part with that? Well, I have some of his art in my house, but like it's just random stuff. There's some cute stuff in there. You'll like that. I love that. Now this next gift, it's to give it to some's some cute stuff in there. You'll like that. I love that. Now this next gift, it's to give it to some of your horny fans.

Okay. And legally you probably can't do it, but I don't care. Okay. Because I had a vasectomy. Oh no. So my wife doesn't need any more birth control. So I just got all of her birth control.

You just can give this to your fans. I think they would love that signed. I could- I don't know if you're legally allowed to give birth control away. We give condoms away as gifts. Well, birth control is a little different. Okay. I just want...

They could be expired. They're definitely expired. Okay. So not usable. No, I think it's been proven that expired medicine still works. I agree with you. Okay, now get that off my desk please. Okay, that's lovely.

You're going to want to give that to people. I agree with you. Okay, now get that off my desk please. That's lovely. You're gonna wanna give that to people. Thank you so much. I've never been given something so considerate before. Well, I just think you're making these kids all horned up. Yes. And especially in the world we live in now, where you're gonna have to put that on the floor. I don't want that on the desk.

I just don't want the dog to get it. My dog can't get pregnant either. Okay, great. But you know, in a world where women's bodies are always a topic, I just want to make sure that, you know, I do my part. You're staying on trend. I do my part to keep them from having an unwanted pregnancy. Yeah.

Well, and I will tell you that all these spicy books do practice safe sex inside of them. Oh, you're talking about putting condoms and stuff on? They do, they do that a lot, yeah. That's awful. Nobody's ever raw dogging it in the books? They do, but they make it very clear why they're raw dogging it.

Everyone's gotten tested. Talk about a boner kill. Unless it's fantasy. How many pages of this boner kill do I have to get through? Fantasy, there's no hold bar because it's fantasy. How many pages of this boner kill do I have to get through? Mm. Fantasy, there's no hold bar because it's fantasy. So if like they're banging you with testicles or like, you know, octopus, whatever, you should read some of these fantasy books. It's not just normal, you know, anatomy of the human that gets in there.

Oh man. I don't know how I'm going to read with one hand. Challenge. Balance challenge. Yeah, you have a gift for me? I do. I have a bunch. I don't know, how am I gonna read with one hand? Challenge, balance challenge. Yeah, you have a gift for me? I do, I have a bunch. A bunch?

I wanted you to see all walks of my life, so I figured I would show you. This is what a special edition books looks like. Oh my goodness. Mine. Look at this one. So in that fun. Oh my goodness, this looks like it's devil worshiping stuff. Devil worshiping, that's the first book in the series

and this is the second book in the series and this is one that's option for TV. This is, oh, Connor Lor. A deadly dance between predator and prey. Would you like to hear a full circle story about this though? The way I got picked up was teaching a yoga class. The writer was in my class. Well, so?

I thought that was very cool. That was a full circle. We just did a full circle. All right. I thought it was a way to like get me into yoga. No. Oh, I got that. Ready?

Olivia, chapter 13. Knowing Liam and Jack were going after a vamp nest while my father and Agent Hunter were researching. This is good stuff. Would you like to narrate one of my books? No. Oh, right. Well, I try

I don't want this shit. You're getting it. God damn it. Okay. It's everything you need for a class Well, it's all of your stuff. This is not everything you need you do made in China I know keep trying to act like you and China in cahoots are in cahoots. Oh. Next time you come take my class. This doesn't feel like it's that, that ground. Is this good? Is this good quality? It feels a little light.

You know what? It's free. It's all free swag. You got it. Okay. I've got one more gift for you. All right. Let's see. Let's see it. The one that I think is the most important. Look at that chode. It is a stuffed penis. It's a tiny little chode. It is a stuffed penis. That's a tiny little chode.

It is tiny, but he's adorable. He's so wide. He's so wide, he's girthy. Is that your fantasy? I think this, no, definitely not. Geez, by the way, in your books, are you going always circumcised? Oh, I don't actually, well again, yeah.

You need to get in that because I guarantee, right now in our country, we're almost 50 50 50 on new kids. So as these kids age in to your Genre, we want to make feel everyone feel welcome. That's what I'm saying. Yeah throwing a few You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, so that is The most interesting thing that I've ever signed so I love stuffed animals. You signed this Well, I haven't signed yours, but I can always do that. But at book signings. Wait, do you buy these?

No, the readers buy them and they bring them to us. Oh, so some gross fan gave this to you? No, this is a brand new one. It's a brand new one. We bought it just for you. Oh, man. All right, anyway. Maybe Carl can play with it.

Point is that those are some of the things that I get at book signings to sign. Anybody ever ask you to sign their actual hog? No. There's not a lot of men at these signings. These are... Women are walking around dicks? Oh god. Or like dick pics and asking you to sign the dick pics, asking you to draw them. Are you allowed to just show somebody else a photo of a penis? It feels like that's a form of assault on some level. Sometimes it feels like that. Sometimes it feels like

that. Fans are fun. Thanks for my stuffed penis. You're welcome. You know who's going to get this? My new pig. Oh, that's perfect. You ever seen a pig's penis? No.

Oh, man. Is it something to write about? Oh, it's so disturbing. All right, so I got a tiny seven pound pig right now. You already got the pig. Yeah, I've had it. Okay. Okay, but when their penis comes out, it's long, thin, and it has a drill bit at the end of it.

Like a pencil? Yes, to like go into the earth. Okay? Okay. Oh, stop! Look at the penis. That doesn't even look real! I know, it's so disgusting.

Oh, no! I know, I didn't know this. And you guys, you ready for this? This is right up your alley. Female pig's orgasm for 30 minutes. Shut up! Well you would too if this corkscrew was going in you. What?

Look at the tip of it. Stop it! Why does it do that? I don't know. It went from straight to that. No, no. It's straight. That's the end of it.

The end is always shaped like that. Oh my God. No, you can see the coils into the soil down here. Oh my God. Yeah, that's disgusting. Oh. I know. I'll be honest with you, I don't know if I would,

I might have taken them back had I known that that was the pincer. Why didn't you get a female pig? Great question. Hmm. We wanted to. Oh, and there just wasn't any to buy? This one was the one that we needed to take.

I'm sorry. My wife just brought it home. Did she know about that though? Nope. What happened when she found out? She's repulsed. Repulsed. And it sprays its man semen all over you

and it stinks to high heaven. All over you? Constantly. Whenever you pick it up and startle it. Yeah. When it frightens it gets hard? No, it doesn't get hard. It just sprays.

It's something that pigs do. It's just a spray and it stinks. It's rancid. But you have to get them neutered at like 10 weeks because they reach full sexual maturity between six and 10 weeks. And you got yours too late. Yeah, it's already been 11 weeks.

He's 12 weeks old now or so. But we're getting them neutered next week. Can you still do that? Yeah, I know. Yeah, and they'll take out a smell gland or something that's in there old now or so. But we're getting him neutered next week. Can you still do that? Yeah, I know. Yeah. And they'll take out a smell gland or something that's in there, I'm told. I'm worried sick about this. I am too. Has your child seen it?

Yeah, my kids play with it constantly. Not the penis, the pig. Oh, my God. Okay, good. I was like, I don't know what to say. What's your favorite holiday? Christmas. Yes, I love Christmas. You ever have Christmas as a backdrop to one of your novels?

Um, no. What about a seasonal young a, young adult? I could, but like they're not in school during that time. So it would be like more of like an outside school. Most of my stuff is like around the school year. But I will tell you this. I have a house in Florida and the house in Florida is Christmas 12 months a year. What?

What? Tacky neighbor. Do you, no like not on the outside, on the inside. Oh, oh, even weirder. What? That's terrifying. Are you kidding? What's your favorite holiday?

Christmas by a mile. Oh, okay, then how come you don't love my house in Florida? Because I have real rules about Christmas. Tell me your rules. Okay, my rules are we don't start celebrating, we don't play Christmas music until the day after Halloween. Okay Thanksgiving fuck Thanksgiving Okay, we did that we did those indigenous people dirty we did now we we prep for Christmas all the way till Christmas We're very excited about we play tons of Christmas music. That's all we play basically after the 31st of October

But yeah, and then and then once Christmas is done. It's done. Wait, so like when do you take down your tree? Well, yeah, okay, this is... I'm gonna sound like the elitist, but we go to Tahoe and that's where we decorate. Okay, I don't think that's... Right, so whenever I leave, whether it's January 1st or January 10th, that's when everything goes down. Let me ask you this, do you take it down or do you have somebody take it down? I take it down.

That's impressive. Yeah, but the tree I fight my wife on. Why? Well, cause I only get a six foot tree. Oh, are you kidding? Do you have cathedral ceilings? Yeah, there's a high ceilings. Then you should be having like a nine footer.

Well, here's what, ready for this? All right. Tell me if you, tell me. I'm with your wife. I feel like I'm a genius on this one. I'll be the judge Okay I have this large coffee table that we use that we put the tree on that gives a tree two and a half feet now Hold on it makes it so much easier to display gifts all around it because you don't have this clearance

Now you have this clearance so there's just presence and you can layer the presence on the coffee table and the floor. Isn't that dangerous? Like, is it gonna wobble off the coffee table? No, no, no, it's not gonna wobble at all. No, no, it's totally secure, heavy, big base for the tree, real tree, you know, Douglas fir. So now it's eight feet.

Right. And it's, you got the big star on top of it. We don't go angel. Okay, so what's her gripe? She wants a bigger tree, but then it's like, now it's in a hallway at the top of a staircase with big ceilings. It's hard to walk by it if you go bigger. I get the height, but then I don't have to have the width.

And I still have all the room for presence. But the width is also nice. If you have the height without the width, doesn't it kind of look crazy? Oh, fucking Dana. Yeah. I'm just saying she might have a point. No, I mean, she has a point, but it's just,

I just don't think you're giving me enough credit for the coffee table thing, because it really does change the game. Even if you were to do an eight foot tree, I would recommend putting it on a table for the layering of presence. It just looks nice. The layering of the presence I actually kind of like.

And the depth, from the bottom branch, you're getting this much clearance on most trees. How are you watering it? You reach in, you can put a picture in there to get to the water. I'd have to see it. I don't know. I'm not convinced based on this. We'll get her a flight.

We'll get her a flight. You're coming to Tahoe. Dana, thank you for being on the show. You're very welcome. Thanks for having me. My pleasure. So hot in here now. You're very welcome. Thanks for having me. My pleasure. So hot in here now. Hot and bothered from all the throbbing.

Not yet. No? Nope. You're telling me with 1% in, it's too early to call. Well, listen, it's not too late for me to publicly endorse one of the candidates for president of the United States. Now, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm still on the fence.

Now I've already voted. I voted for Kamala Harris. But who am I going to endorse? That's different than who I voted for. You understand the difference? Well, explain it to me. Well, see there's gonna be a civil war. Oh yeah.

And I gotta do what's right for my family. So I haven't picked a side who we're going to align with. And we're not going to fight in either scenario, but depending on who's marching down our streets and with what type of artillery, that's what I'll need to hoist a certain flag. Those will be your people. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not afraid to be like, oh yeah. Go Trump. Whatever.

If that keeps my family from being slaughtered in a civil war, I'll say it. Sounds like you're a good father. I don't have so much pride that I'm like, I can't say it. Carl, who'd you vote for?
