Hey, everyone. Today we're learning about Pixar, arguably the most successful animation studio in our lifetime, unless you are super old.

The book is Creativity, Inc. It's by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace. I'm Kellan Erskine. I'm a comic. And the three times that I've cried during a Pixar movie were the first few minutes of up. The part in Coco were the boy singing to his great

grandmother, and at the end of the Good Dinosaur, because of the money I lost buying all those

tickets.

I'm David Vance.

My first date was to cars in case you're wondering whether you hate me.

Creativity, Inc. teaches lessons from Ed Catmull, the Pixar co-founder and my personal hero,

who once came to my work and met all my friends while I was out of town.

He was charming. And this is the book pile. And actually, I also cried during Inside Out

and Finding Dory, but my joke earlier works better with that rule of threes.

So thanks so much to everyone who's rated and reviewed.

We're in the 150s.

We're trying to get to 200 reviews.

Kind of like that cool movie, 200.

So I've got a review here, a part of it.

Among many other nice things, AP Onk said, I wasn't disappointed.

And then they end it with one of the two podcasters here is definitely someone I'd love to be neighbors with.

I don't know if that's a reference to a story that I told

on our How to Win Friends and Influence People episode, or if it's just yet another passive

aggressive seed aimed at driving me and Dave apart. That will fight to know who it is.

Right. So I'm going to be at Helium Comedy Club this week in Portland, Oregon,

one of two states where you arbitrarily don't have to pump your own gas. March 25th through the 27th.
