39.998 - 50.224 Bert Kreischer

Do you mean when you put it on because your mom was selling it and she said it gave you cystic acne? Buddy, I will tell you the book's awesome. Buy it. But the fucking audio book is insane.

You want to have Matthew McConaughey sound like he's calling you.

53.727 - 70.926 Matthew McConaughey

Get the audio book. It just fucking talks. It was fun to read. They said it was going to take like four days to record it. And I remember just sitting there going... man, I know these stories. I wrote this. It's not going to take four days. Popped a couple of buds and eight hours. One take.

71.447 - 72.568 Matthew McConaughey

Yeah. Wow.

73.108 - 76.111 Bert Kreischer

Don't listen to my audio book. Yeah. I can't read aloud.

76.692 - 96.117 Tom Segura

I wrote a book a couple of years ago, number two, New York Times bestseller. Couldn't get to number one. But I have a question. When I handed in Like the first time I sent the publisher a draft, there was a different type of anxiety about submitting your writing as opposed to like an audition.

96.297 - 96.778 Matthew McConaughey

Oh, hell yeah.

96.998 - 110.845 Tom Segura

Because you realize, you know, you can tweak, you can deliver how you want to deliver a line. You can deliver, you can do things with your face, with your body, with your work. But when it's just like, here's what I wrote, there's like this whole, this thing you're like, fuck man, do you feel that too? Yeah, hell yeah.

Chapter 2: What insights does Matthew McConaughey share about his book 'Greenlights'?

274.658 - 276.6 Matthew McConaughey

I'm not really kicking back watching a movie, but...

277.461 - 306.252 Matthew McConaughey

313.247 - 326.881 Matthew McConaughey

So, I mean, I have that with performances with the book. By the time we had edited down, I will say this. Did you have this experience or that you send something in and you're like, ah, this is hot shit. This chapter's good. This story's great.

327.422 - 329.885 Tom Segura

It looks like somebody was murdered on it when they send you the notes back.

330.125 - 340.215 Matthew McConaughey

And they go, I don't get it. Yeah. And I puffed up going, how can you not get that? If you don't get that, then you don't get the whole book's about. Sweet.

340.355 - 341.336 Bert Kreischer

What chapter is it?

341.576 - 362.369 Matthew McConaughey

No, I had a few, but what happened, here's what I learned. Okay. 90% of the time, thankfully I had good editors, I hadn't written it well enough. That was them saying, and then I went back and wrote it better and they're like, oh, I get it. Right. But I went in thinking, you know, sometimes we have our own cliff notes and we don't. Sure. Oh, they're going to get that part. No, you didn't write it.
