概要

 A random book, a different subject, Elton wades into each one sharing the best of what he discovers, and uncovers in each volume. Ludicrously sardonic, dark, funny, irreverent, and witty, the subjects range from UFOs, time travel, and the science behind "evil", to the lives of rock stars, and Hollywood. There's never a dull moment! It's time to enter this endless library, and see where it takes you...Elton Edgar

    [A PREVIEW EPISODE OF THE PATREON EXCLUSIVE PODCAST "Internet Riot Master"]

    Join me as I venture into a story of online instigation, riotous nonsense, and a lot of lifting of things. Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but what written by A.I. does?

    My wife gave me the gift of an A.I. book written for me? Or about me? By me? I'm not really sure, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to read it anyway, right?

    Come listen to me make my way through the slop, and help create a weird world all our own. What are you waiting for?

  • Short-isode: "Dumb Myths About Sleep"

    Short-isode: "Dumb Myths About Sleep"
    2026/04/03

    Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything "right" for your sleep, yet you’re still waking up exhausted? We spend a third of our lives unconscious, but most of what we think we know about those hours is a mix of old wives' tales and misunderstood science. In this episode, we’re peeling back the covers on the most persistent sleep myths that are sabotaging your rest.

    We start with the big one: the terrifying warning that waking a sleepwalker could be fatal. We’ll dive into why this myth exists, what actually happens to a sleepwalking brain, and the real dangers you should be worried about instead.

    Then, we tackle the "Sleep Debt" delusion. Can you really "catch up" on sleep over the weekend, or are you just digging a deeper hole for your circadian rhythm? We’re breaking down the biological reality of REM cycles and why your brain isn't a bank account you can just balance on Sunday morning.

    In this episode, we also explore:

    • The 8-Hour Rule: Why this "magic number" might actually be a modern invention of the Industrial Revolution rather than a biological necessity.

    • The Nightcap Trap: Why that glass of wine might help you fall asleep faster but is actually a chemical "wrecking ball" for your sleep quality.

    • Blue Light & Sleep Hygiene: the TikTok "hacks" from the peer-reviewed science of getting a better night's rest.

    Whether you’re a lifelong insomniac, a chronic snoozer, or just curious about what happens when the lights go out, this deep dive will change the way you look at your mattress. We’re separating the science of rest from the stories we tell ourselves in the dark.

    Stop counting sheep and start counting facts.

  • Short-isode: State's Nicknames (“You just caught a palm strike to yo baby batter bag, bitch!”)

    Short-isode: State's Nicknames (“You just caught a palm strike to yo baby batter bag, bitch!”)
    2026/03/25
    So, this week I decided to take a break from the heavy lifting of a full novel to look at something equally weird: why the places we live have such bizarre "official" handles. Honestly, if you actually look into where state nicknames come from, it’s rarely a group of dignified founders sitting around a table. It’s usually just a bunch of 19th-century dudes making fun of each other until someone decided to put the insult on a license plate.What we're getting into:The Original Trolls: We talk about how a place like Missouri ended up with the "Show-Me" label. Spoiler: It wasn’t a compliment. It was basically a way of calling people from the Ozarks a little too "slow on the uptake" to understand a joke.The Nutmeg Scam: Connecticut is out here calling itself the "Constitution State" now, but back in the day, they were the "Nutmeg State" because their traders were legendary for selling fake, wooden spices to unsuspecting tourists. It’s basically the 1800s version of a crypto rug-pull.The Gopher Pivot: You’ve got Minnesota, which somehow turned a mean-spirited political cartoon about corrupt politicians into a cute mascot. It’s like if we started calling a state "The Dumpster Fire State" and then fifty years later everyone was wearing Dumpster Fire hats at football games.Bird Identity Politics: Why is Alabama obsessed with a "Yellowhammer"? And since when is a "Blue Hen" the peak of toughness in Delaware? We’re looking at the weirdly specific wildlife obsession that defines half the South.Silver vs. Dirt: Nevada’s constant struggle between wanting to sound like a treasure chest and admitting it’s mostly just covered in sagebrush.From the "Dark and Bloody Ground" of Kentucky to the "Sunshine" branding that hides a lot of corporate secrets, we’re digging into the labels we inherited. It’s a messy, hilarious, and totally nonsensical look at American self-branding.Give it a listen, stop yelling at traffic for ten minutes, and then go read a book. Seriously. Keep the brain cells firing, folks.GET THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠From Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From an Indie Book Seller⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tips!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠EMAIL: eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.comThe following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Asian Blaxploitation actors, characters, etc., Alaska, Nebraska, well, all the states mentioned, if I'm being honest.A special thanks to Diedrich Bader and Jenna Fischer for all their inspiration.SHOW NOTES:Content TypeSoloPrimary GoalEducationalSummaryThis episode explores the quirky, controversial, and often disturbing origins of U.S. state nicknames, revealing their historical, cultural, and political significance.Keywordsstate nicknames, American history, U.S. states, cultural symbols, political history, folklore, racism, land rush, Native American historyKey TopicsOrigins of state nicknames in the 1800sRacism and political slogans in nicknamesLand rushes and land theft in OklahomaNative American history and treatiesCultural and political symbolism in nicknamesThe Hidden Histories Behind U.S. State NicknamesHow Racism and Land Theft Shaped American State Names"Tar Heel was an insult turned state pride""Gopher nickname from political cartoon in 1858""Yellow Hammer is a woodpecker, not a kung fu hero"Guest NametitlesSound BitesChapters00:00Introduction to State Nicknames03:09The Origins of State Nicknames06:16Missouri: The Show Me State08:47North Carolina: The Tar Heel State12:00Connecticut: The Nutmeg State14:48Indiana: The Hoosier State18:11Minnesota: The Gopher State21:12Delaware: The Diamond State24:06Alabama: The Yellow Hammer State27:03Nevada: The Silver State30:00Kentucky: The Bluegrass State33:12Oklahoma: The Sooner State36:05Reflections on State Nicknames
