The speaker is excited to discuss Dr. Seuss, a topic they found intriguing. They were a big fan of the Muppets growing up. They mention how Dr. Seuss didn't start writing children's books until later in life, and it was driven by a desire for something more creative. They also mention that he was limited in what he could do due to a contract, but was allowed to write children's books. The speaker finds it fascinating that he stumbled into being a children's author rather than having a lifelong passion for it. They relate their own career experiences to the story.
