I have the inside track, and there's something else about the case. Nina Reiser's body was never found. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I don't know if Sean will talk to me. If he did kill eight people, surely the police would have arrested him by now.

murders. How many people here know who Sean Sturgeon is? See, you don't know who he is because there was a gag order. I'm going to tell you, Sean Sturgeon is best friends with Hans Reiser, who was on trial for murdering his wife Nina Reiser.

Ultimately this book, though, you know, it's not about Sean Sturgeon. And it's not really about Hans Reiser, either. It's really there is a full, the full Hans Reiser story is in this book and there is a full true crime book within The Adderall Diaries. But really it's a memoir.

I want to talk about the current state of facts and pseudo facts in the world and perhaps in the White House.
