Arielle, today is our final tip of May. And for this tip, you have titled something that I laugh at every time I say, which is bad, I shouldn't, but it is very funny. Arielle, why is everything tuberculosis? Thank you for asking, Ned. Um, everything is tuberculosis because John Green said, so. I read this book in a day and a half. It's called Everything is Tuberculosis, and it's the first book that I've read in a really long time, and this tip is multi-pronged.
The first is if you are having trouble reading books because you don't like to sit down and read them. If you pay for a Spotify premium, you have a lot of audio books for free. You have a certain amount of hours for free. The second part of this tip is tuberculosis goes back real far and has a lot of implications for like, how we treat disease today. And it is just interesting to have that context now. Like did you know that Adirondack chairs were invented because of tuberculosis?
There's so many things that John Green talks about that you're like, holy crap, things are different because tuberculosis existed and still exists and it's an amazing book. And once you have that in the back of your brain, you're gonna be walking around and you're gonna be like, wow, that's tuberculosis, that's affected by tuberculosis. This has implications in that realm as well. So that's the tip.
I want you to know that I did not know this was a John Green book when you told me the tip, but when you told me the tip for the first time, I almost said out loud, "that sounds like some John Green ass book title" because of turtles all the way down. Like that was what my brain did. He has, you know, he has like a way of There's a vibe there. Turtles all the way down. Everything is Tuberculosis. By the way. I really dig John Green. This was not a dig on john Green. No, not at all.
No. Anyway, read the book, then let's talk about it, Tippendales. And listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed, John Green's old podcast. It's done now, but it was my favorite podcast for a long time. even bought a mug from it. Yeah. Uh, go listen to The Anthropocene Reviewed. Tell John Green we said what up. We're gonna try and make him a guest tipper in the future. happy weekend.
