1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Juan F. Thompson is the guest. His new memoir,&amp;nbsp;Stories I Tell Myself:&amp;nbsp;Growing Up with Hunter S. Thompson, is now available from Knopf.&amp;nbsp; I tore through Juan's book. Read it in like 24&amp;nbsp;hours. I'm a huge fan of Hunter. He's in my top 5 all-time. I think he's among the funniest writers America has ever produced. &amp;nbsp;I've read most everything he wrote, and I've read about him at length, but up until a few days ago, I knew little about his son, whom I've always wondered about. What was it like to be him?&amp;nbsp; It can be easy to think that the child of Hunter Thompson would automatically be some kind of savage hell-raiser, but in fact Juan comes off as the opposite. In reading about him lately, the word &quot;monkish&quot; keeps coming up. I wouldn't go that far, but I&amp;nbsp;will say we didn't snort&amp;nbsp;any cocaine during the interview. Nor did we detonate any homemade explosives, which kind of bums me out.&amp;nbsp; In the monologue, I talk about Hunter. And I read an excerpt of a review of one of his books. &amp;nbsp; Otherppl with Brad Listi http://otherppl.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/4242342/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/11299231
