That is, until the summer after seventh grade when he slipped, fell off a cliff, hit his head on a rock, and \"my skull got, like, dented or something.\" Before this accident, he dreamed of being \"an electric engineer, or a doctor that does brain stuff, or a math teacher who teaches the hardest math on earth.\" Afterwards, all he could do was standup.* But the \"brain stuff\" industry's loss is everyone else's gain because Nate went on to become one of today's top-grossing comedians, breaking both attendance and streaming records. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his highly anticipated first book, Nate talks about life as a non-genius. From stories about his first car (named Old Blue, a clunky Mazda with a tennis ball stick-shift) and his travels as a Southerner (Northerners like to ask if he believes in dinosaurs), to tales of his first apartment where he was almost devoured by rats and his many debates with his wife over his chores, his diet, and even his definition of \"shopping.\" He also reflects on such heady topics as his irrational passion for Vandy football and the mysterious origins of sushi (how can a \u003cem\u003eCalifornia\u003c\/em\u003e roll come from old-time Japan?). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBIG DUMB EYES is full of heart.
