Hey everyone. Today's book is on public speaking by a man so skilled at public speaking, he's constantly

picturing you naked. It's Talk Like Ted by Carmine Gallo. I'm Kellogg, and I'm a comic, a father,

and after 50 episodes of this podcast, we've finally reached one where I am more of an expert than

the author on this subject, and boy, does it feel great.

And I'm David Vance. I'm a writer who spends almost every day alone in my bedroom typing, so I can't wait to teach you how to do public speaking.

Talk like TED gives lessons in public speaking from TED Talks, which were a much bigger deal when the book came out.

You may like the author's other book about Furby's.

And this is the book pile.

All right, a little reminder about rating and reviewing.

Just remember, you don't want to be on your deathbed thinking i wish i'd told that podcast how i feel

i got a review from a listener named j zw12 which i'm assuming is their license plate

and they say high-minded humor. We should leave them a review that says,

brief, thanks. All right, just another quick but very important reminder that we're doing our first

live recording of the bookpile on October 29th, All Hallows Eve, Eve, Eve, at the Comedy Club

Improv Broadway in Provo, Utah. Go to ImprovBroadway.com for tickets. 15 online, 20 at the door.

It's going to sell out. I'm going to do some stand-up. We're going to do

the podcast. We'll do a Q&A where you can ask me about my stand-up. And remember, bring any

random book with you, and we will sign it at the end. Finally, our next two books are the

two towers and physics of the Impossible.

But whatever, I know it's possible for Legillus to grab the under saddle of a fully running

horse, flip himself vertically with one hand, and land perfectly on its back. Shut up, scientists.

Do you remember that moment? Yes.
