Hey everyone. Welcome to The Book Pile, a podcast about the best of books and the worst of books. Today we're

reissuing an episode from over two years ago, our roast of the Da Vinci Code, one of my favorite

episodes we've ever done. Real quick by way of announcements, comedian Zoltan Kassas joins me

next week to discuss the book The Creative

Act by Rick Rubin, a great read and a great listen on Audible. And in about two weeks on September 6th,

my regular co-host, David Vance and I will be doing a live podcast just north of Los Angeles

in Newhall, California. Go to Kalanuriskin.com for tickets or join our Patreon and get into that show for free.

You can get there by using the link in this episode's description or go to patreon.com

slash the bookpile.

Join the Patreon for $6 a month.

Then message me through the Patreon and I will put you on the guest list for that show. By the way, that deal

works for all the other stand-up shows that I am doing during the next calendar year on tour.

So check my website for your city. Plus another perk of joining the Patreon, aside from bonus

mini episodes, is that I currently have the audio of my newest stand-up special on there for your listening pleasure.

Or if you want to watch my special for free on the website Dry Bar Comedy Plus,

I've included a link in this episode's description as well.

And finally, if you would rather see me live in 3D, my full tour schedule, it's growing by the week, but some notable dates will be

Palm Springs, California, October 18th, Salt Lake City, Utah, November 8th and 9th,

Carlsbad, California by San Diego, November 16th, Chicago, November 21st to the 22nd,

and Desember 6th through the 7th, again, November 21st to the 22nd, and Des Moines, December 6th through the 7th.

Again, take us for all those shows and more at callanurskin.com.

And now, without further ado, here is me and day.
