Someone commenting here reminded me of something I was thinking about the other day.
Wasn't Tom Leykis' book supposed to be released this month? It was going to be about Leykis 101, which essentially teaches men how to get more sex for less money.
It's placeholder has disappeared from Amazon.
I haven't heard the book mentioned on the show lately.
Tom's live, free, call-in show is about to end, but he does plan to start podcasting for paid subscribers.
At this point, it wouldn't be all that difficult for an avid listener to publish a well-organized and annotated book with the exact same information, while avoiding using the name "Leykis" or some of Tom's favorite phrases and personal stories. Granted, that listener wouldn't have Leykis' name recognition or media connection for ready publicity. Tom would probably argue that multiple people have already tried.
It did seem strange that the placeholder listed that the book would be released the same month Tom was ending the current version of his show.
The book could still be used to promote the subscriber podcast and archives, and perhaps Tom is revising the text to do exactly that. Heck, he could string together segments from his archives to compile an audiobook.
