Speaker 1 (00:00):
How many books do you have? If you had to guess,
I don't expect you to go through. Well, let me start.
Do you have any books in your house?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes? I would be considered a summer reader.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh this is fantastic. Oh my god, what a great,
what a great. Let me pause you for a second, June,
let me pause you for a second. Okay, Number one.
I think it's a safe assumption to say everybody listening
has at least one book in their house.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yes, I'd love to hear from that person, does a
single Isn't that fair to say?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
No book nation? No?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
No, And it could be it could be struction booklet count.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It could be any kind of books some people would have.
Some people could be some people could be really into
like cooking, and they have like a bunch of grilling
books or cooking books or stuff like that. Somebody could
be into into hockey and they could have like a
bunch of hockey books or anything.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
But I think it's a safe thing, like self serving examples,
the really cocky books.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
No, no, but I think it is safe to say
everybody listening, everybody listening has a minimum of one book
in their house. If you don't, I would bet I
would actually bet everybody listening. I would even raise that
number higher than one. I really would. I don't think
(01:22):
you have just one book.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Especially if you have kids.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
The okay, yeah, but not everybody does. Not everybody, June,
do you have kids?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I do, teenager and he still reads the.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
No very good like mother, the the oh.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But if you have kids, you probably have maybe two books,
maybe three books. Is is it safe to say everybody
listening has a minimum of five books?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, you think people have less than five books? I do,
just like rent a room and that's.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, that's fair. But they definitely have one book. Again,
everybody has at least one book at there. You've been
proven wrong before, right, Okay, Diane, if you had to guess, yeah,
if you had to guess, and I know you have
more than one book at the house, you're a learned woman.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
If you had to guess, how many books do you
have at your house?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Bear with me, June, just crying, trying to do a
quick Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
No, I mean, listen, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
come over count them and then punish you if you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I'll say, like sixty sixty books. Yeah, okay, all right,
is I'm going to write you We've gone through and
and like perch throw no, no, take them the library.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Right and then they throw them out. No.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Then they do those book sales where they sell stuff
for a dollar or two.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Bucks, throw a lot of them out. So you think
sixty probably Christian? How many men?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
You know what? I got more than that? I bet
I got one hundred. Wow, Dane, you just forty like
that because I just doubled your Because I'm thinking of
like these cabinets in the basement that you never think
about but when you but it's like there's definitely books
in there. Okay, I have I have like old I'm
obviously still have like my high school yearbooks and stuff.
(03:12):
Those counts.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I'm going to count them. I'm going to count albums.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
The No, I don't count photo albums, Like, do you
mean like old school photo albums?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, that's all I know of them.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah. Well, first of all, why would anybody still have
a photo album?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I still have a photo album because you didn't digit
I haven't digitized everything.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Scan them.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Oh, okays, you.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Have to do that. That takes thousands of photo We did, absolutely,
we did that.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
We did that with all of Scott's mom's stuff and
had it digitized. It took forever to do that.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Okay, I didn't say it was fast.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But you don't need to keep photo albums that you
don't need to keep.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Like that's if you've got a lot of photo album
I still have.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Probably like twenty photo albums.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Twenty. Yeah, don't count those in your one hundred. Now
those aren't books.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Now, but I'm saying, like yearbooks, those count.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'll count a yearbook. I'll count a yearbook, but I
won't count a photo album. Yes, probably your book is
kind of just a book. I would say like one hundred,
one hundred. Okay, Kristen, you have a lot of book
Will you turn yourself on real quick, June.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Bear with me. Are you still there? I am, yeah,
Well you're probably reading while I'm talking. Hi, Kristin, you
have a lot of books.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yes, but I have a question for you.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Are we including encyclopedias because I got a lot.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You have in your apartment? You have encyclopedias, yes, we
have two.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
We have a big bookshelf, and on the bookshelf, I
have it categorized by like non fiction fiction, biography, literature. Uh,
like my recipe books, right, sports section golf has its
own section on your shelf, and then we have another side,
(04:57):
and then Mike has like his military books.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Wait, so why do you have multiple sets of encyclopedias?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, how much space has that taken up?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
For?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Nothing like a full the.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
One cabinet, It has the entire bottom. Oh dear, there's
like twenty six twenty eight books I.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Think of which you've never used.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
When I was younger.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, so what is the publication date on them? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So they don't even have things like like you couldn't
look up in the encyclopedia like internet.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, this is what we said, This is why libraries
have to throw things out.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, I mean, this is how many books do you
have in your apartment?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
And I have some childhood books. There's definitely over there's
got to be over one hundred and fifty, maybe two
two hundred. We think about those children books that are
very thin as well, of course a lot of those
all right, and over has his books, his little bear
books that he gets.
Speaker 3 (05:53):

I've just kept.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And by the way, since the day you walked across
that stage a short five years after arriving there, how
many times if you open that book, zero garbage, throw
it out.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I've used them here and there since graduation. Okay, And
that is not shocking, because one is like a book
on architecture. When is the history of rock and roll? Okay,

listening to this show has a library in their house?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Somebody calls. I also solicited for those that have no books.
So we're working both sides here. How high can we get?
I'm really glad I was never in a position to
be Kristen's genie and grant what I thought her wishes
would be, because she would not have gotten a library.

little cabinet in the park.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Oh yeah, we have one of those. That's like in
somebody's yard. There's always bags of dog crap in there.
People do that all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Please, anybody lives in a neighborhood where they have one of.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Those, people get pissed at that. When people put it
in somebody else's trash, they're going to put it in
the little free library.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'm telling you, if you open up the little bookshelf
thing in our neighborhood, there's always bags of crap in there,
God always, which is why I won't donate my books there.

Speaker 7 (18:06):
My name is Eric, and my fiance is a literatary
professor and she is a book dork. When I moved
in with her, we started building her at a library.
She keeps her books inventoried. And right now, the last
account we had about two months ago was like twelve
thousand and four hundred books.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Impossible. You have twelve thousand books in your house.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
We turned she has books from like eighteen forty that
she has got from libraries as they were going to
throw them out.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You have twelve thousand books in your house.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yes, I can actually send a picture to like Tyler
or however, show.
Speaker 1 (18:53):

dot com.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Okay, And you said you can do that.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Where is she a professor?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
A shepherd?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Is she?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Really? And you built a library in your house.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
We turned our attic into reading book is what it
was supposed to be. And now the entire attic is
pretty much bookshelves.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Other than to build and work. Number of times calendar
year twenty twenty five, you've gone up there to just read,
not me exactly.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
She sits up there and drinks coffee and reads, and
it's like, wait a minute, there's far better things.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Exactly does she like TV?
Speaker 7 (19:47):
She does, but then when she watches shows, she'll try
to find a book on the show she watched.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, now that by the way we went from we
went from one thousand to twelve thousand. That's a big
We're not going to top twelve thousand, four hundred. I
doubt it unless literally, unless a guy named Dewey calls in.
We're not getting anywhere near that. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Hey, send.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Is good?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Is is it? Is it like?
Speaker 1 (20:16):

Is everything like neat? Or is it is.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Like?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
She caught me trying to throw out some as she
called him, antique looks, and oh my goodness, yeah it was.
It was almost time to sleep on the couch.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Aren't you afraid those books are going to crash through
the ceiling?
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Honestly, we thought about that when we were building it,
and it seems to be holding.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Wow, all right, dude, well listen, I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Please send that picture. Okay, we'll never top that. What
if the next one is like one hundred and forty
five thousand, we just keep going by twelve? Is that
library that they planted in the little planter with the flowers.
That's nice. I was surprised by the size of it.
That's nice. Ours doesn't look like that. Wait, let me see. Oh,
(21:12):
you guys don't have any green bags in the like
where the glasses. Feet away from this is a little
can with free bags and disposal space for poop. If
somebody cannot walk five feet to put the poop where
it's supposed to go, that is quite a indictment of
(21:38):
their We have that.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Like over by there's a park by us Lacy Woods,
I think is the name, and they have a bin
for dog bag garbage and but I guess people just
try to throw and they miss. So the whole ground
is littered in dog bags and natural light cans from
underage drinking.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Nice. So that's what the entire Welcome to Arlington. Where
am I going? Line too?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Elliott the morning?
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Hey, good morning?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Hi? Who's this? Hey?
Speaker 8 (22:11):
This is Dana and Richmond.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Nerd?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
How many books do you have?
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Definitely well over one thousand. Cannot top the twelve thousand,
But I really want to know. Can I get that
guy's girlfriend's information so I can be friends with her?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh? Really? So you like the idea that she's a
literacy professor.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
If I could work my dream job, I would be
a book editor. So I could be because I am
a grammar nerd. My grandmother beat that into me, and
I would be paid to read books all the time.
That would be absolute dream job for sure. Like I have,
I have so many books. I've got books dash and
atticant boxes that I have in opening years that I
will not get rid of them. I still have my
(22:51):
original entire collection of Nancy Drew novels, some of the
Hardy Boys novels. I have some really cool.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Old O C. S.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Lewis, like the books of the Chronicles of Narnia. Books
like I have certain classics like Pride and Prejudice is
one of my favorite books. I have read that book
probably one hundred and fifty times.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, by the way, the great book. I'm not far
behind you.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
The but you know what like when you say when
you say that, the like listen, I think it would
be fun to be a book editor. I too grammar,
but the the nice to meet your grammar.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
What he means to say is he's grammatically correct.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I am the no no, but like like when you
mentioned like like Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boss, Like
I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I don't know what like.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
A kid series would be anymore, Like like I guess
like the the Something wasn't there something Jackson books?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
The Baby is Good?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
What was underpants?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
What is the what is the one? The guy? The
Guy's local? What is that? The diary of a diary
of a kid?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Right? But like all those old school books, like I
don't think I like Hardy Boys or I don't have
any of those, Like that's garbage.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Some of those old Nancy Drew books you have might
be worth something. No, yeah, I won't get rid of them, no.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Way, they printed so many. Yeah, definitely not. Yeah. Also
who's buying them collectors? Like the vintage book. I once
that a hat was sitting on a gold mine because
I had a really old copy of Black Beauty. It
was worth like two dollars. The Horse Book. Yes, it
was my grandmother's. Oh really yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, I don't need I bet I don't have a
book that's worth anything.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I would agree with you.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
The first editions, they'll definitely be worth money. Like I
kick myself in the leg because I had all of
the first editions of the Harry Potters, the US editions
and loan them out to friends because I got them
on the release dates. I grew up with the releases
of them and loaned them to people, never got them back,
and those books are worth so much money. I will
(25:18):
never loan books out ever again.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
By the way, that's that that would be a collection
that people would have Harry, like Peter Solano has all
the Harry Potter has multiple He's probably led Harry Potter
more than you've read Pride and Prejudice.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Because people are just going back.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Definitely reread the Harry Potters a lot, like and I'm
the same. Like if there is a movie at.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
The package, Jesus Christ, will you read?
Speaker 8 (25:43):
I have that too, But like I actually had to
buy the book it by Stephen King because I wanted
to read the book before I watched the movie. The
book is so much better.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Than right, I haven't read that book. I don't have it,
but I've read that fantastic. That's not one of my
one hundred and fifty. All right, very good, very good,
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. Well, you know what the
press count because some people are like, we have more
than that guy. If you count countic then I'm going
to say no, just because no, no, because that would
(26:14):
be that would be a whole different cat.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
That would be like saying, what about national geographics?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
So mag magazines don't count? I'll say that magazine, yes
they are, Yes, they are not? Are they? Comic books
are more like magazine.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Graphic novel.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I think graphic novel would count. Yeah, no, that's a
comic book. Well no, it's a graphic novel, don't does
my Does an atlas count like one of those old.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Maps an atlas?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
No, a map like a book, map.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
In a book. If we're counting all dictionaries, pristens, yeah, encyclopedias,
those are books barely those are books. They're relevant.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
They don't even have the Internet in them. The no,
I'm I'm not going to count. I'm not going to
count comic books. Comic books are like magazines.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Do playboys count? Dirk wants to know how many of those?
Does he have a lot, because if they don't count,
he only has two books and Dylan only has four.
Are you serious? We had a couple of people who
are good though. That's impressive. That's almost as impressive as
the twelve thousand guy, well rounded audio. Yeah, he's got
(27:24):
a reading book. It's called This Toilet
How many books do you have? If you had to guess,
I don't expect you to go through. Well, let me start.
Do you have any books in your house?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes? I would be considered a summer reader.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh this is fantastic. Oh my god, what a great,
what a great. Let me pause you for a second, June,
let me pause you for a second. Okay, Number one.
I think it's a safe assumption to say everybody listening
has at least one book in their house.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yes, I'd love to hear from that person, does a
single Isn't that fair to say?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
No book nation? No?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
No, And it could be it could be struction booklet count.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It could be any kind of books some people would have.
Some people could be some people could be really into
like cooking, and they have like a bunch of grilling
books or cooking books or stuff like that. Somebody could
be into into hockey and they could have like a
bunch of hockey books or anything.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
But I think it's a safe thing, like self serving examples,
the really cocky books.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
No, no, but I think it is safe to say
everybody listening, everybody listening has a minimum of one book
in their house. If you don't, I would bet I
would actually bet everybody listening. I would even raise that
number higher than one. I really would. I don't think
(01:22):
you have just one book.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Especially if you have kids.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
The okay, yeah, but not everybody does. Not everybody, June,
do you have kids?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I do, teenager and he still reads the.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
No very good like mother, the the oh.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But if you have kids, you probably have maybe two books,
maybe three books. Is is it safe to say everybody
listening has a minimum of five books?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, you think people have less than five books? I do,
just like rent a room and that's.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, that's fair. But they definitely have one book. Again,
everybody has at least one book at there. You've been
proven wrong before, right, Okay, Diane, if you had to guess, yeah,
if you had to guess, and I know you have
more than one book at the house, you're a learned woman.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
If you had to guess, how many books do you
have at your house?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Bear with me, June, just crying, trying to do a
quick Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
No, I mean, listen, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
come over count them and then punish you if you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I'll say, like sixty sixty books. Yeah, okay, all right,
is I'm going to write you We've gone through and
and like perch throw no, no, take them the library.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Right and then they throw them out. No.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Then they do those book sales where they sell stuff
for a dollar or two.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Bucks, throw a lot of them out. So you think
sixty probably Christian? How many men?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
You know what? I got more than that? I bet
I got one hundred. Wow, Dane, you just forty like
that because I just doubled your Because I'm thinking of
like these cabinets in the basement that you never think
about but when you but it's like there's definitely books
in there. Okay, I have I have like old I'm
obviously still have like my high school yearbooks and stuff.
(03:12):
Those counts.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I'm going to count them. I'm going to count albums.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
The No, I don't count photo albums, Like, do you
mean like old school photo albums?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, that's all I know of them.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah. Well, first of all, why would anybody still have
a photo album?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I still have a photo album because you didn't digit
I haven't digitized everything.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Scan them.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Oh, okays, you.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Have to do that. That takes thousands of photo We did, absolutely,
we did that.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
We did that with all of Scott's mom's stuff and
had it digitized. It took forever to do that.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Okay, I didn't say it was fast.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But you don't need to keep photo albums that you
don't need to keep.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Like that's if you've got a lot of photo album
I still have.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Probably like twenty photo albums.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Twenty. Yeah, don't count those in your one hundred. Now
those aren't books.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Now, but I'm saying, like yearbooks, those count.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'll count a yearbook. I'll count a yearbook, but I
won't count a photo album. Yes, probably your book is
kind of just a book. I would say like one hundred,
one hundred. Okay, Kristen, you have a lot of book
Will you turn yourself on real quick, June.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Bear with me. Are you still there? I am, yeah,
Well you're probably reading while I'm talking. Hi, Kristin, you
have a lot of books.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yes, but I have a question for you.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Are we including encyclopedias because I got a lot.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You have in your apartment? You have encyclopedias, yes, we
have two.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
We have a big bookshelf, and on the bookshelf, I
have it categorized by like non fiction fiction, biography, literature. Uh,
like my recipe books, right, sports section golf has its
own section on your shelf, and then we have another side,
(04:57):
and then Mike has like his military books.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Wait, so why do you have multiple sets of encyclopedias?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, how much space has that taken up?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
For?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Nothing like a full the.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
One cabinet, It has the entire bottom. Oh dear, there's
like twenty six twenty eight books I.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Think of which you've never used.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
When I was younger.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, so what is the publication date on them? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So they don't even have things like like you couldn't
look up in the encyclopedia like internet.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, this is what we said, This is why libraries
have to throw things out.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, I mean, this is how many books do you
have in your apartment?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
And I have some childhood books. There's definitely over there's
got to be over one hundred and fifty, maybe two
two hundred. We think about those children books that are
very thin as well, of course a lot of those
all right, and over has his books, his little bear
books that he gets.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Read to Jesus Christ. So two hundred do you think
that's fair?
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Yeah, but this isn't even including the books I still
have back home.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In OHI no, this is in your house now? Yeah,
you have two hundred.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Wow, okay, I'm gonna put Kristin down at two one
hundred Tyler, I'd say two fifty two fifty? Yeah, Now,
were you just saying that to look better than Kristin?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You know how many of those damn children's books.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
The Meltzer was? I mean, how many of those? That's
thirty by itself.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, I'm counting those, and I'm not that high.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm pretty sure if I went through the kids rooms
and just the bookshelf, it's two fifty. I was gonna
peg myself at one hundred and fifty. I was have
textbooks from college.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I still have some of those two Oh my god,
to tell you want to talk about out dated garbage?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah, what are you doing with that?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I don't know. I mean, there's just a couple that
I've just kept.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And by the way, since the day you walked across
that stage a short five years after arriving there, how
many times if you open that book, zero garbage, throw
it out.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I've used them here and there since graduation. Okay, And
that is not shocking, because one is like a book
on architecture. When is the history of rock and roll? Okay,
that's fuck?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Oh god, I have those.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
There's stuff that needs Oh look it's made out of bricks.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Who cares the So you're gonna say you're at two
hundred fifty, I'm gonna count today.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah, I just need to count. I bet I got
more than one hundred now, Oh my god, I find
something else to do.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Include the tabletop books as well.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Tabletop book like coffee table books.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, Tyler got me a nice one from Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Really. Oh remember Kramer's coffee table book. That was awesome.
I was gonna put myself at one hundred and fifty.
But you think now you're high or low based on
everyone else's answers.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Ah, I feel like I feel like I'm within I'm
within a hair both either way.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It could be it could be one, it could be one.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, it could be one forty nine, it could be
one sixty and I am counting thirty skinny meltzer books
the but yeah, yeah, I would say. I would say
I'm right in that one fifty one fifty to one
eighty range, which I feel really good about.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Listen, I'm I'm hearing there may be people that don't
have two books.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
At their house. Line them up, June, how many books
do you have at your house?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, hundreds, but I had to stop so I go
to the library quite frequently.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So how many if you had to guess?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I know you said hundreds, but hundreds could be two, hundreds,
could be none.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Sure, I'll go more than Tyler.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
So you think you have three hundred books at your house?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Easily?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, you want to go to three fifty?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Noxon higher? Now?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So I'm gonna you know what, then I'm gonna put
you three twenty five. June, I'm gonna put you three
twenty five. Can I ask you this? Are they all?
Are they neatly arranged? Or do you just have like
stacks on the floor.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I have some sack, but I had done the color
of the rainbow.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I gotcha, I gotcha whatever that means? All right, very good.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
It's pretty How high can we get it?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I bet there are people who have like a thousand
books in their in their place.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
How high can we get it? Definitely? Four figures one
thousand books? Yeah, yeah, it's not that hard to get
that high. Hold on, Yes, CHRISTI.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
People, like, one of my things for my dream house
is to have a built in like the library.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I want that, wait, a full library or just a
massive one.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
To have two walls like that rolling ladder.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You know what my dream is for my dream house.
I want a pasta filler.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
This is what at least two walls with the little like.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that's rich. So if you win the lottery,
you're getting a library.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I'm going to have a library.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
If I win the lottery, I'm getting a suite at
a lot of arenas.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, well people have those, so that's got to be
that who.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Who has a library and that listens to this show.
I'm not talking about like the Rockefellers. Yeah, like, who
listening to this show has a library in their house?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Somebody calls. I also solicited for those that have no books.
So we're working both sides here. How high can we get?
I'm really glad I was never in a position to
be Kristen's genie and grant what I thought her wishes
would be, because she would not have gotten a library.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So I'm reading about a guy. He's seventy eight years old.

those books. Yeah, one because it was yours, but also
because of the engineering that went into stacking them. He
has dozens of those stacks, yes, and they're everywhere. And

Line four? Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Hey, what's up? Elliott?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
How many books do you have? And don't lie? Don't
call and be like I got eighteen thousand books?
Speaker 5 (15:35):
No, if I had a guest, I think we have
about a thousand.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
No, way you have a thousand books.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Yeah, we have. We have two kids. They both have
a built in their room of the books they read
the most often. And we have a linen clause in
the hallway that we converted into a miniature library for them.
And we probably have got two or three bins full
of books that we still need to donate that they
outgrew as a toddler.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
What I don't understand, Like, you don't have more things
that should go in a closet than books.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Where'd you put your towels? No, that's not true. I
have two. I have two towels. Both of them were complimentary.
Actually that's not true. I was paid to stay at
the hotel, but they are complet.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Elia doesn't use the towel he took runs to the
house after a shower.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
It's not true it as a matter of fact, I
don't know what's going on. My right nipple when I
get out of the shower is bleeding my right My
right towel, my white towel is streaked with blood right now,
and it's all coming from my right nipple.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
What's that? Your Montgomery glands? What you get? So you
have a thousand books? What is your name? Nick?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Nick?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
All right, there's your new leader in the clubhouse with
a thousand.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And I understand that's an approximation, but still that's good.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
We really have. I mean, it's honestly, it might even
be low. But if I had a ballpark, it be it.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
At a thousand.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
God, you must think I'm stupid. I have one hundred
and fifty. All right, very good, very good, Thank you, Nick.
All right, I got a thousand.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You talked about donating kids books. I just remembered yesterday
they opened one of those little free libraries in our neighborhood.
Oh wait, the ones like down the like on a
little cabinet in the park.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Oh yeah, we have one of those. That's like in
somebody's yard. There's always bags of dog crap in there.
People do that all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Please, anybody lives in a neighborhood where they have one of.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Those, people get pissed at that. When people put it
in somebody else's trash, they're going to put it in
the little free library.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'm telling you, if you open up the little bookshelf
thing in our neighborhood, there's always bags of crap in there,
God always, which is why I won't donate my books there.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Where am I going?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Mine?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Lett to stay higher than Diane? The where's Diane? She's
at one hundred? Oh I'm good, I'm good. Line four,
Hi Elliot the morning. Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 7 (18:06):
My name is Eric, and my fiance is a literatary
professor and she is a book dork. When I moved
in with her, we started building her at a library.
She keeps her books inventoried. And right now, the last
account we had about two months ago was like twelve
thousand and four hundred books.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Impossible. You have twelve thousand books in your house.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
We turned she has books from like eighteen forty that
she has got from libraries as they were going to
throw them out.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You have twelve thousand books in your house.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yes, I can actually send a picture to like Tyler
or however, show.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It, send it to Diane at DC one oh one
dot com.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Okay, And you said you can do that.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Your fiance is.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
A literary professor?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Where is she a professor?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
A shepherd?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Is she?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Really? And you built a library in your house.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
We turned our attic into reading book is what it
was supposed to be. And now the entire attic is
pretty much bookshelves.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Other than to build and work. Number of times calendar
year twenty twenty five, you've gone up there to just read,
not me exactly.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
She sits up there and drinks coffee and reads, and
it's like, wait a minute, there's far better things.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Exactly does she like TV?
Speaker 7 (19:47):
She does, but then when she watches shows, she'll try
to find a book on the show she watched.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, now that by the way we went from we
went from one thousand to twelve thousand. That's a big
We're not going to top twelve thousand, four hundred. I
doubt it unless literally, unless a guy named Dewey calls in.
We're not getting anywhere near that. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Hey, send.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Is good?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Is is it? Is it like?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
And I know that you said like you built like
a reading nook in a library?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Is everything like neat? Or is it is.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Like?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
She caught me trying to throw out some as she
called him, antique looks, and oh my goodness, yeah it was.
It was almost time to sleep on the couch.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Aren't you afraid those books are going to crash through
the ceiling?
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Honestly, we thought about that when we were building it,
and it seems to be holding.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Wow, all right, dude, well listen, I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Please send that picture. Okay, we'll never top that. What
if the next one is like one hundred and forty
five thousand, we just keep going by twelve? Is that
library that they planted in the little planter with the flowers.
That's nice. I was surprised by the size of it.
That's nice. Ours doesn't look like that. Wait, let me see. Oh,
(21:12):
you guys don't have any green bags in the like
where the glasses. Feet away from this is a little
can with free bags and disposal space for poop. If
somebody cannot walk five feet to put the poop where
it's supposed to go, that is quite a indictment of
(21:38):
their We have that.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Like over by there's a park by us Lacy Woods,
I think is the name, and they have a bin
for dog bag garbage and but I guess people just
try to throw and they miss. So the whole ground
is littered in dog bags and natural light cans from
underage drinking.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Nice. So that's what the entire Welcome to Arlington. Where
am I going? Line too?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Elliott the morning?
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Hey, good morning?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Hi? Who's this? Hey?
Speaker 8 (22:11):
This is Dana and Richmond.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Nerd?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
How many books do you have?
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Definitely well over one thousand. Cannot top the twelve thousand,
But I really want to know. Can I get that
guy's girlfriend's information so I can be friends with her?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh? Really? So you like the idea that she's a
literacy professor.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
If I could work my dream job, I would be
a book editor. So I could be because I am
a grammar nerd. My grandmother beat that into me, and
I would be paid to read books all the time.
That would be absolute dream job for sure. Like I have,
I have so many books. I've got books dash and
atticant boxes that I have in opening years that I
will not get rid of them. I still have my
(22:51):
original entire collection of Nancy Drew novels, some of the
Hardy Boys novels. I have some really cool.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Old O C. S.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Lewis, like the books of the Chronicles of Narnia. Books
like I have certain classics like Pride and Prejudice is
one of my favorite books. I have read that book
probably one hundred and fifty times.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, by the way, the great book. I'm not far
behind you.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
The but you know what like when you say when
you say that, the like listen, I think it would
be fun to be a book editor. I too grammar,
but the the nice to meet your grammar.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
What he means to say is he's grammatically correct.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I am the no no, but like like when you
mentioned like like Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boss, Like
I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I don't know what like.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
A kid series would be anymore, Like like I guess
like the the Something wasn't there something Jackson books?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
The Baby is Good?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
What was underpants?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
What is the what is the one? The guy? The
Guy's local? What is that? The diary of a diary
of a kid?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Right? But like all those old school books, like I
don't think I like Hardy Boys or I don't have
any of those, Like that's garbage.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Some of those old Nancy Drew books you have might
be worth something. No, yeah, I won't get rid of them, no.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Way, they printed so many. Yeah, definitely not. Yeah. Also
who's buying them collectors? Like the vintage book. I once
that a hat was sitting on a gold mine because
I had a really old copy of Black Beauty. It
was worth like two dollars. The Horse Book. Yes, it
was my grandmother's. Oh really yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, I don't need I bet I don't have a
book that's worth anything.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I would agree with you.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
The first editions, they'll definitely be worth money. Like I
kick myself in the leg because I had all of
the first editions of the Harry Potters, the US editions
and loan them out to friends because I got them
on the release dates. I grew up with the releases
of them and loaned them to people, never got them back,
and those books are worth so much money. I will
(25:18):
never loan books out ever again.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
By the way, that's that that would be a collection
that people would have Harry, like Peter Solano has all
the Harry Potter has multiple He's probably led Harry Potter
more than you've read Pride and Prejudice.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Because people are just going back.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Definitely reread the Harry Potters a lot, like and I'm
the same. Like if there is a movie at.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
The package, Jesus Christ, will you read?
Speaker 8 (25:43):
I have that too, But like I actually had to
buy the book it by Stephen King because I wanted
to read the book before I watched the movie. The
book is so much better.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Than right, I haven't read that book. I don't have it,
but I've read that fantastic. That's not one of my
one hundred and fifty. All right, very good, very good,
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. Well, you know what the
press count because some people are like, we have more
than that guy. If you count countic then I'm going
to say no, just because no, no, because that would
(26:14):
be that would be a whole different cat.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
That would be like saying, what about national geographics?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
So mag magazines don't count? I'll say that magazine, yes
they are, Yes, they are not? Are they? Comic books
are more like magazine.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Graphic novel.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I think graphic novel would count. Yeah, no, that's a
comic book. Well no, it's a graphic novel, don't does
my Does an atlas count like one of those old.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Maps an atlas?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
No, a map like a book, map.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
In a book. If we're counting all dictionaries, pristens, yeah, encyclopedias,
those are books barely those are books. They're relevant.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
They don't even have the Internet in them. The no,
I'm I'm not going to count. I'm not going to
count comic books. Comic books are like magazines.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Do playboys count? Dirk wants to know how many of those?
Does he have a lot, because if they don't count,
he only has two books and Dylan only has four.
Are you serious? We had a couple of people who
are good though. That's impressive. That's almost as impressive as
the twelve thousand guy, well rounded audio. Yeah, he's got
(27:24):
a reading book. It's called This Toilet

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
