00:00What's going on?
00:00What's going on, Zionist Station CFL?
00:02And I were still talking about unfortunate events.
00:03Yeah, we were talking about it.
00:05I was saying that, what was I saying now?
00:10There was something I had to say.
00:21I don't know.
00:22I don't know how I forgot about what that was already.
00:40Oh, yeah.
00:41I was saying that the day that my dad died, that day, that first thing I texted my family
00:46was the image of, it was a GIF, what do they call it, a GIF or a GIF of Mr.
00:52Poe saying,
00:53I have terrible news for you.
00:54Your parents have perished in a terrible fire.
00:56Yeah.
00:56Yeah, that was the first thing that came into my head.
00:58Yeah.
00:59It was cool because it made the book seem even more real to me, that my dad had actually
01:02died in a terrible accident.
01:06I saw that that was cool to you.
01:07Okay, Josh.
01:12So, for this reason, okay.
01:14For this reason, the phrase, in the belly of the beast, has become, yeah, so on YouTube,
01:20on YouTube, they were taking too long to process, so I just put it on Dailymotion, yeah.
01:23Don't worry about it again.
01:26The phrase, in the belly of the beast, has become an expression, which means inside some
01:30terrible, they said, why couldn't you just do that at first, because if it's, I don't
01:35know, I just wanted it to be on YouTube for whatever reason, I'm like, well, if it's taking
01:37a long time to process, it must be doing something important, yeah.
01:40It's just how I was thinking about it, but the Lord said, just put it on Dailymotion.
01:43The Lord said, don't frustrate them like that.
01:46The phrase, in the belly of the beast, has become an expression, which means inside some
01:50terrible place, with little chance of escaping safely, yeah, by the time I read that far,
01:54I was already too in love with what this was about, yeah.
01:57What kind of a guy would talk to kids like this?
02:00It's like, he's telling you some, like, really important secret about the world, yeah.
02:04And the adults, they don't really want you reading Unfortunate Events, not really.
02:09They really don't want you reading it, not really, they, they don't even know why they
02:13have it in libraries, it's almost like the Lord just makes them do it, otherwise they
02:15wouldn't do it, they wouldn't, don't ask.
02:17It's definitely that the Lord makes them do it, and they don't even know why those books
02:20are there.
02:24Love came because it's 100% true, that's how that works with these books.
02:28Same thing with, same thing with His Dark Materials, or really any other book, adults
02:31don't really want you reading Harry Potter, or His Dark Materials, or anything that would
02:35give kids any, any hope about life having any meaning outside of being told what to
02:40do by cruel adults.
02:46Has become an expression which means inside, yeah, the Lord said it was, it's wrong for
02:51them to say that, that I can't, that I can't speak yet in public, because I have, I'm just
02:57like, you know, just like Daniel, I have things to say that kids, kids would need to benefit
03:00from, love saw it, Josh.
03:08So it was sinful for them to tell, for, to stop me, for them to stop me from doing comedy,
03:13yeah.
03:15Love saw that when you met with the comedy director at Columbia, she said run away and don't come
03:21back, they're coming to kill you and don't ask.
03:25Everyone saw you did, and don't ask.
03:28Inside some terrible place with little chance of escaping safely, and it is not an expression
03:32one should look forward to using.
03:34I'm sorry to tell you that this book will use the expression, the belly of the beast,
03:39three times before it is over, not counting all of the times I have already used the belly
03:43of the beast in order to warn you of all the times the belly of the beast will appear.
03:47That's a fun thing to tell a kid, yeah, look, it's like Easter eggs, yeah, kids like things
03:54like that.
03:56Three times over the course of the story, characters will be inside some terrible place with little
04:01chance of escaping safely, and Jordy said, I'm so sorry, my mom is so stupid.
04:06She saw that, Jessica said, she saw that when she said that to me, she was forcing me to
04:12choose between my own heart and listening to her opinion, yeah, and she really peed that
04:18a kid would have a fully formed perspective on what those books were about at that age,
04:27and she backed off how stupid she sounded to me to say that the books were too depressing.
04:38Three times over the course of this story, characters will be inside some terrible place
04:42with little chance of escaping safely, and for that reason, I would put this book down
04:46and escape safely yourself.
04:48Yeah, same thing with Roald Dahl, yeah, I read a couple books by Roald Dahl when I was
04:51a kid.
04:54Roald Dahl books are pretty good too.
05:02For that reason, I would put this book down and escape safely yourself.
05:06Because this willful story is so very dark and wretched and damp, that the experience
05:10of reading it will make you feel as if you are in the belly of the beast, and that time
05:14doesn't count either.
05:15The Baudelaire orphans were in the belly of the beast, that is, the dark and cramped
05:20trunk of a long black automobile.
05:22Yeah, the books get better as they go on.
05:25They're good at the beginning, but yeah, they get better as they go on, and don't ask
05:30that's what it's called for.
05:30So I'll leave it right there, I don't want to leave it here.
05:32I don't care.
