Hey everyone. Want to win friends and influence people and you're a sociopath? Today's book is How to

Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. We hated it. I'm Kellyn Erskine. I'm a comic, a father,

and my closest friends will all tell you that I won them because of this book. I'm kidding. This book is

garbage, mostly. And I'm excited to talk about it.

And I'm David Vance. I like talking about winning friends because I too think every friendship

has a winner and a loser.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is a good reminder that every human

you come across is a unique

opportunity to get something. And this is the book pile. So a quick reminder to please rate and

review the book pile. It really helps us a lot and we really appreciate it when you do rate.

Here's a fun review from Liz Nerd. I'm not teasing them. That's what he or she called themselves. She says,

To be honest, I first only listened to the episodes covering Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice.

They were great. I was skeptical about Dave and Kellan's ability to make nonfiction books

sound equally as enjoyable, but I finally decided to give the rest of the episodes a try. Now I'm hooked.

Thanks, Liznerd. It's interesting to see the split of the audience. There are listeners who

listen to the episodes so they don't have to read the books, and there are people who listen

because they've read the books. Yeah. It's sort of like how we prepare the podcast,

how you read all the books. Anyway. This is from Jeffrey Jordan 04. He says, Kellyn's jokes make me laugh out loud just like his stand-up, and Dave's jokes make me feel intelligent just for understanding them. Does not sound like he laughs at mine. He also says, I'm one of those people who's constantly listening to podcasts with a

rotation of about four different shows in a day, but this tops them all. Thanks, Jeffrey, Jordan.

Thank you. And I love how Dave, you and I are both insecure enough to still take something

as complimentary as that. And find negative things.

You took it as he doesn't listen to my jokes, and I took it as he thinks my jokes are stupid.
