There are things Chelsea Devantez probably shouldn’t be telling you. Many of them are in this book: some are embarrassing (like when she tried to break her three year spell of celibacy using a guide of seduction tips). Some are confessional (getting sentenced to the “hell hill” at Mormon church camp). Some are TMI (a series of outrageous doctor visits that ended with one doctor misdiagnosing her as “pregnant.” Woopsies!).

After bottoming out, being institutionalized, and getting sober all by the tender age of fifteen, Moshe Kasher found himself asking: “What’s next?” Over the ensuing decades, he discovered the answer: a lot. There was his time as a boy-king of Alcoholics Anonymous, a kind of pubescent proselytizer for other teens getting and staying sober. He was a rave promoter turned DJ turned sober ecstasy dealer in San Francisco’s techno warehouse party scene of the 1990s.

Such a fun vibe!
These two best friends really shined together while helping me understand more about small talk. By the end of the book I honestly feel like I learned something and hope to try chatting with strangers more.

The conversation between the two authors
Love the examples and how you guys brought Tony along the journey. The one thing i dislike about this audiobook is the transitions between topics. I felt like my brain was going all over the place with the side tangent

This helped me so much!
As an introvert and someone who hates small talk because I am not good at it, this book has taught me so much and I am now much more comfortable in social situations. It is also very entertaining and light. So much more than what I thought this would be!

These ladies are so funny, talented, and insightful. As an introvert, they make a painful subject like small talk approachable and fun. I appreciate the tips n tricks (even the slightly unhinged suggestions)! Definitely recommend!

A perfect audiobook
Casey and Jessica are knowledgeable, charming, and funny. What a delightful listening experience. I am a fan of both from their podcasts, but anyone would enjoy this lovely romp through the art of small talk. With perfect celebrity interviews and even a moving poem in the end, this is a tight little book with no filler and no dragging parts. Highly highly recommend!

Loved the jokes and quick tips and hated that it had to end. I felt like I wanted to have coffee with these authors, my new good friends.
