Love that Bret usually puts his guest’s work first during guest episodes but as a fan of his work it’s really great to finally have an an episode devoted to sharing the history of his career. Enjoyed it !!

When’s Bret going to review Oppenheimer?
Dave
Can’t wait for Part II!

Rules of Attraction is probably my favorite novel by Bret. I always go back to it and I will never tire of Paul. In fact, I want a sequel with Paul after college. Great interview.

To be fair, the young people in Brooklyn today will be talking like this about some new neighborhood in 10 or so years.
Michael
One of the many reasons we’re phasing them out.
Lionel
Uneven numbers drive me crazy.

I just use the podcast app on my iPhone. Once you’re subscribed you get given a link that you can copy into your podcast player of choice, and the stream updates there just like normal.

Hi everyone, I am new to the Patreon. I have loved listening to the BEE podcast but have exhausted all the free episodes available on Spotify and wanted access to more. Can someone please tell me how I can listen to the podcast episodes posted on here directly on my phone? What app do I need to download to connect my Patreon to my phone? Thanks everyone!

Do these old people ever grasp that the snide way they talk about “Brooklyn” is the exact same way Uptowners used to talk about their beloved “Village”?
Nick
Bret, let the man speak and stop rambling!
Lionel
Did Bret murder people at Bennington ? How many ?
Bazayer
Fantastic guest! Great hearing about New York back in the 70s/80s and the behind the scenes details at S&S. Also very cool to hear Bret talk more about the Rules of Attraction - out of all his books I feel like he talks about it the least (even though he loves the movie adaption).

Patrick
Thanks so much for sharing that! 🙏

Hey fellow fans of Bret, I'm an author looking for beta-readers for my latest novel: The Order of Chaos - a book very much in the vein of Bret's writing. It's a darkly comedic thriller, and follows Tristian X, a member of a highly structured secret society known as The Order of Chaos, behind all the most chaotic and disruptive events of the past century. Set against the backdrop of the chaos and mental whiplash that have permeated the past few years, The Order of Chaos condenses these feelings into a central character who is hopefully for today what Patrick Bateman was to the 80s. Like the world, Tristian is insecure, violent, mean, hurting, needy, confounding, orphaned, lonely, and just fucking weird. He listens to a constant barrage of concerning, insane, and absurd news and opinions from a podcast he plays in one earphone whenever he's outside. The structure of the book mirrors the chaos of the past six years and its temporal distortions, with the order of the chapters being faux-randomized. If you'd be interested in giving it a read for free and offering up any feedback you have, just shoot me an email (contact@hwhinder.com) and I'd be honored to send you a copy. Cheers.

Very fun episode thank you
N.M. Janice.
More nostalgia please.
Bookth
Loved hearing the moment Bret decided to stop picking him up on dates.
Vincent Nappi
This was a good one. The making of the myth...
Steve
Some may complain that this is another episode about nostalgia, but I like it very much. Bret is on a great run of episodes over the past several weeks.

“Bob, it wasn’t there…” New BEE shirt idea.
