I'm the person editors or NPR producers or crummy reality show production companies will go to if they need to do a segment on the crotch bulge in a banana hammock worn by a bodybuilder who is also a pro wrestler...and for this I earned the ""PHD"" (piled higher and deeper!!!)

I'm not a wrestling journalist or a bodybuilding journalist or even an expert in the other things I actually studied, but I have absolute command of the mega-niche Cultural Feature and a rolodex of rogues, con men, has beens, and other oddballs I can call upon for quotes

Yeah, that went in production a year after I was first shopping my proposal, and it was funny because I was directed away from writing pure memoir, and yet I could've done something like that, only far, far weirder

He has much more to say about masculinity writ large, whereas my grandfathers/father/brother/me were representative of something much more isolated and transgressive
