Dave, did you ever play Madlibs growing up that game where you fill in the blanks of a story when it asks you like a noun or an adjective?

So what's the first thing that comes to mind?

If I were to ask you the rare but fun question that comes up in Madlibs, part of the body.

I mean, it's hard to be funnier than butt.

So probably butt.

Right.

I just think if anyone doesn't say butt or armpit, you could shoot them in the head with a laser because they're a robot.

Hey, everyone.

You know that thing you see when you take off your clothes?

That's the human body, but what did you imagine before I was done talking?

Today's book is a beautiful and unexpectedly witty guide to all the crazy stuff inside us.

Based on a true story, this is The Body by Bill Bryson.

And this is the book pile. A podcast about the best of books

and the worst of books. If this is your first time to the podcast, we're happy you're here. And feel

free to check out our over 200 episodes of books. I'm Kellan Erskine. I'm a comic, a father,

and a human body. That's how I introduce myself on stage now.

All right. If you find yourself enjoying the podcast, why don't you subscribe to it so you don't have to

manually download it every week unless you need the exercise. And feel free to leave

us a review. One of our latest five stars comes from JZW12, who says, my brother-in-law introduced me

to this podcast a few years ago, both because it's hilariously awesome and because he knows Dave.

I,

he could have just left out that second part.
