0:00.0	Hey everyone. Want to see Dumbledore die? Today's book is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
0:07.8	I'm Kellynerskin. I'm a comic, a father, and this is the saddest Harry Potter book for me
0:15.5	because of how much Hermione ends up settling. And I'm David Vance. I want to know if Snape knew all those tricks that make potions better,

0:29.1	Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is a 6,000-page Russian novel dealing with cancel culture,

0:41.9	Quick reminder to please rate and review the book pile. If you do, Kellan will mail you
0:46.0	half his blood.
0:50.8	Which I know is four and a half pints based on a book that I read, based on our least

1:09.3	In honor of it, we wanted to announce something fun. So we are going to record our first live podcast on October 29th. It'll be at Improv Broadway in Provo, Utah. It's a great comedy club run by the great Zach Atherton. It's going to be an amazing show.

2:00.1	No, I imagine this will sell out. So this will be
2:02.6	the first of an ongoing series of live shows. If you want us to come to your town, email us
2:07.6	at the bookpile podcast at gmail.com to help us gauge interest in your area. Also, we're doing
2:13.6	a book signing, so bring us any books we haven't written, which is most of them,
2:17.8	and we'll sign it. Could be a car manual, could be a journal. If you bring something by
