Hey, everyone. We're starting today's episode like it's a Dan Brown cliffhanger.

Albert Einstein, age 26 and muscular, reeled in shock, barely noticing the beautiful

Freiline in his arms. He looked in her brown eyes and said, come with me. I just realized

what E equals. Find out more on today's book pile, Einstein by Walter Isaacson.

I'm Kellan Erskine. I'm a comic, a father,

and a good husband, which means that Walter Isaacson will never write my biography.

Yeah, genuinely, it's like, how many people does he need to write about leaving their children

before you wonder about Skelet skeletons in Isaacson's closet?

And I'm David Vance.

In middle school, I did a huge project on Einstein because the year before I did Alexander

the Great and I thought it was funny to stick with the owls.

Einstein is the story of a staggering creative genius who, it turns out, wasn't actually bad in school.

So stop getting your hopes up.

And this is the book pile.

All right, this week we're doing a special Einstein deal where if you rate and review the bookpile, then just like Einstein, we will date our cousin.

He didn't warn me about that one.

Wait, is that too adult?

I just mean I didn't sign off on that.

Please don't review if that's what's going to happen.

No, you can pick which cousin.

I found this podcast late and they had 60 episodes when I started.
