A candid and irreverent look at the ridiculous ways we all try to
make ourselves look better online&#8212frm a popular standup and
internet comedian whose videos have been viewed over one billion

times.&#8220Jon is one of my top-three all-time favorite
comedians, next to me and Foxworthy. Buy this
book&#8212yo&#8217llbe glad you did.&#8221#8212Larry the
Cable GuyJohn Crist wasn&#8217talways recognizable as
&#8220thguy from that hilarious video in the grocery
store.&#8221Growing up part of a homeschool family of ten in rural
Georgia with Mennonite grandparents and a high-school job at
Chick-fil-A, he was an unlikely candidate for internet fame. Despite
all that, or perhaps because of it, Crist passionately pursued his
dream of stand-up comedy.In his first book, Crist offers heartfelt,
laugh-out-loud observations on the absurd ways we all try to make
ourselves look better online: like how we all post filtered pictures of
our super healthy kale salads but somehow neglect to post about
our 1 A.M. Uber Eats Big Mac. Or how quick we all are to post our
&#8220IVoted&#8221sticker pictures but fail to post about the
ways we vote with our dollars every day in ways that
don&#8217talign with our loudly and publicly espoused values.With
self-deprecating wit, Crist chronicles his meteoric rise as an online
and stand-up comedian, but he doesn&#8217tgloss over the ways
his own life choices did not align with his online image&#8212agap
between perception and reality that eventually led to a stint in
rehab.In Delete That, Crist takes responsibility for his actions, offers
some reflections on how to do better, and encourages us all to stop
capitulating to the fear of &#8220Buwhat will they
think?!&#8221Instead, this book offers a bold invitation to stop
curating life and start living it . . . one Nickelback concert at a time.
