Hey everyone. Roll Dahl was a true original and that he created new characters and a new genre of novels as well as being the first to come up with the idea of the disappointing sequel.

Today we're going to discuss Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Phantom Menace. Oh, sorry.

And we're going to roast Charlie in the Great Glass

Elevator. And this is the book pile. A podcast about the best of books and the worst of books.

If this is your first time on the podcast, welcome. And may we suggest checking out our

back catalog of over 160 episodes with as many books. I'm Kellanerskin.

I'm a comic, a father, and as a father, I'm disappointed in Charlie Buckett's father when Charlie

gets the golden ticket. And he's like, hey, you want to go, dad? And Charlie's dad is like, no, I've been paying for food and rent for my parents and in-laws for the last 20 years.

One of them should go.

And I'm David Vance.

Kellen, I'm going to start with my parody of the Oompa Lumpa song.

Um, no, I'm not.

My gift to you is the relief you now feel.

The only thing worse than watching someone sing their parody to you is realizing the song

is slow tempo.

The way you know Weird Al is a genius is that you don't feel so bad for him.

All right.

If you want to see me live, I'm going to be in the San Diego slash Escondido slash Mission Viejo area, February 14th through the 17th.

And then I'll be in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Rumors Comedy Club, June 11th through the 15th. And I promise

I'll fill in those in-between months as well. Go to calenerskin.com for a ticket. Wow, you're

really hitting that San Diego, Winnipeg corridor. All right, as usual, feel free to subscribe to the podcast.

And if you enjoy it, leave us a review.
