I can’t even tell you how irrationally ecstatic seeing Jacob Tierney rave about Robbie G.K. in the forthcoming book of #HeatedRivalry scripts (due out this Tuesday) makes me ❤️❤️

Anyway, staring down the barrel of a seven-hour plane ride home. Gonna download the Texas-Oklahoma game to watch in the air, and oh, hey, why don’t I download the second season premiere of #SheriffCountry so that I can hate-watch that too! 👀

(Much love to you, @jefito.com, and thanks so much for the drink, the company, and the pizza recommendation last evening!!) 🫵🏼

And if you are somehow reading these words and don’t own a copy of @jefito.com’s spectacular #OLTL oral history, get your ass to Amazon at ONCE and plunk down the best five bucks you’ll ever spend on anything, right f**king NOW. ⬇️

Anyhoo, if you never heard that podcast episode with @jefito.com — or, hey, if you just wanna relive it! — it’s still available on Spotify (or wherever you get your podcasts!). I did 105ish episodes of Brandon’s Buzz, and this one was easily among my top 5 faves.

‘Twas utterly divine to •finally• be able to put a face to a name after so much time. ❤️ @jefito.com

Jeff always told me that he owed me a drink if we would ever find ourselves in the same zip code, and last night — thirteen years later, nearly to the day — I was finally able to cash that voucher in, at one of Jeff’s favorite neighborhood bars in his lovely New Hampshire hometown. @jefito.com

(I don’t know how much credit my little ragtag operation deserves on that count — all I did was rave like a loon about a great book, quite sincerely the best of its type that I’ve ever read. HE did the hard work here — he wrote the damned book!!) @jefito.com

I don’t know cold numbers, and it’s not my business besides, but @jefito.com credits that Brandon’s Buzz appearance with helping him sell many, many, MANY books.

I was so utterly enraptured by his book and litchrully couldn’t believe it was a thing that could actually exist in the world. (Still can’t believe it, really!) #OLTL @jefito.com

If memory serves, I was about — max — 12 pages into @jefito.com’s ravishing oral history of #OLTL in September 2013 when I went spelunking for his email address to beg him to come onto my podcast to talk about the miraculous book and reveal HOW he got all those fabulous people to talk to him.

🚨 if you should ever find yourself visiting @jefito.com’s hometown of Keene, NH and have a hankerin’ for tomato-slathered bread, Athens Pizza has LEGIT one of the best pies you’ll ever want to leap headfirst into. 🫵🏼
