Hey, everyone. The book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker proves the key to writing a groundbreaking

bestseller that changes countless lives is just really bad science. That's right, homies,

half of this one's a roast. I'm Kellyn Erskine. I'm a comic, a father, and when I'm not

awake, I prefer to be sleeping.

And I'm David Vance.

When I read this book, I was horrified to learn the terrible things sleep deprivation was doing to my body.

So I was relieved to learn how much of it he just made up.

Why We Sleep borrows a classic literary device from works like Rebecca or Gone Girl, the unreliable narrator.

And this is the book pile.

So, quick reminder to please rate and review the bookpile.

Granted, it's true, we sometimes get things wrong, too.

But unlike why we sleep, we get to say it was a joke.

A reviewer named D. Reckage, I think, encapsulates our podcast in 11 words in a way that I think we may need to copy paste it to the description of our podcast. He says,

just a couple of nemesies discussing life lessons and popular books.

Oh.

They really caught onto the emotional thread between us.

I like to think that every one of our episodes has one winner and one loser.

And you're the loser because you have to edit them.

And Sir Luke of Moore says, what if your vegetarian English teacher and a random stoner he met on the street had a podcast about books?

Yeah, I don't appreciate that because I, I don't

hear it as like, cool, like Matthew McConaughey stoner. I just hear, what if a smart guy and a vagrant with

nothing to add had a show. But then he ends it with JK.
