Yeah. The whole podcast is full of references to Terre Haute history, locales, and characters.

It's a stand-in for the Missouri small town where he was actually raised; he even calls it "Terre Haute, Missouri" by accident in a couple of earlier episodes. (Both of Branson's novels are set in Missouri, and you should read them.) He explains in one of the Patreon Q&As that the choice of Terre Haute is from an old bit between him and his friends about "jeansmen" hitchhiking to the federal supermax prison there, which is the only thing about the real Terre Haute that Branson knows.

Okay thanks. How would you describe his novels? If I tried one should it be WW or Into the Hills?

Had a quick browse on Amazon and saw Into the Hills compared to A Confederacy of Dunces, my favourite book, so I'm gonna give that a go.

Into the Hills, Young Master is a short (~120 pages) farce about a nerd, definitely in the vein of A Confederacy of Dunces. Water, Wasted is a much more serious magical realist kind of thing. Water, Wasted is the "real" Branson book to me, but I do think that you should read Into the Hills first.

Into the hills is a very funny book with a very good mood and takeaway that I very much enjoyed

Several scenes were just amazing and have genuinely stuck with me

He was very hostile. Perhaps he thought Yinz was being condescending.

Into the Hills is just not very good and doesn't really maintain the Confederacy of Dunces-esq hook. Water Wasted is pretty great, as long as you're okay with reading about people in hopelessly miserable situations and the occasional D&D campaign.

Bransons getting naked in public isn't illegal because their bellies slope over their privates like the loincloth does with George of the Jungle who they are descended from.

I'm thinking it was Opulence with the farsight gun from the grassy knoll. Or it was Dr. Yinz killing a clone of him in some sort of Prestige gambit.

If you've never seen any of Titas (Dr. Yinz) paintings before you can check out his site: http://moneygoldpower.com/portfolio/

i watched Branson Day that someone linked earlier, and there's a lot of stuff that was later fleshed out into full episodes. Tom's Josh Gad love, and lots of Princess Diana stuff. Great two hours spent.

yeah but now I'm worried about Branson's health. Getting into and out of chairs shouldn't be that hard :(

Also I'm surprised they aren't selling prints of the Painting That Will Heal The World, I know I'd buy one.
