Have you ever had that moment when you are in the middle of a conversation and suddenly the room becomes quiet and nobody knows how to move the discussion forward? Of course you do. Haven’t we all? It’s for this reason that I decided to write this book.What better way to break that silence than to throw out some of these facts: Wolves have a serious appetite! They can eat up to twenty pounds of meat in one sitting! The first high heeled shoes were worn by Egyptian butchers to help them walk above the bloodied bodies of animal carcasses.

From Chickamauga to Cheyenne, New York to New Orleans, Seattle to Scotland—no matter where these two wandering jesters go, there's something to roast, something to toast, and something to learn about what ties us together as humans.

Conspiracies didn’t always seem so clear and present. It used to be that people with tin-foil hats who were convinced of secret messages coming through the radio were easily disregarded as kooks and looney tunes. But these days, conspiracies feel alive and well. From internet rumors to lying politicians to the tinderbox that is social media, it’s become clear that a vast swath of people believe really bonkers things. Podcast hosts Ben Bowlin, Matthew Frederick, & Noel Brown discern conspiracy fact from fiction regarding "stuff" the government doesn’t want you to know.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

If you like knowing a little bit about a lot of things...
If you like knowing a little bit about a lot of things this is the audiobook for you, with a 16 and a 12 year old it’s hard to decide what to force on them, it’s a conversation stater on long road trips.

Fun Fact filled bathroom audio reader, Cool!
Would you listen to Uncle John's Bathroom Reader again? Why?
Yes, my MS damaged brain could not retain all the neat fun fill facts told to me in on sitting so I will have to listen this several time to be able to retain any of it, but you may be able to get away with just one listen, you out there smart people, not me. So I will enjoy listening to this many times over just to retain a fact or two, so I can impress someone once in a great blue moon.
What other book might you compare Uncle John's Bathroom Reader to and why?
How I Know books, or The book of Weird and Unusual Trivia which is part of a set of Arm Chair Reader of Unusual History and Trivia, or Event collected in large Arm Chair books, (I have a set of 4 out 6 or 7) that I just love to flip through and find unusual trivia to read about or unusual history. They are lot of fun to keep by my bedside chair. I just flipped to a page that start out "The World's Most Expensive Foods" and goes on to give a list. Uncle John's is also full of unusual facts like that but of a little more history based and a lot more interesting.
What about Full Cast’s performance did you like?
I like that they keep changing readers so there wasn't a monotone problem like with the How I Know Audio Book. Which has a real problem with all the fact being read to you in a monotone and it just come of boring, No this book keeps it interesting by changing readers and keeps it exciting, I really enjoyed this book.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
AMAZING FACTS to ROCK YOUR SOCKS, There is no plot just the fact nothing but the facts.
Any additional comments?
I know i only gave this 4 stars, but I truly enjoyed this audio book it was full of interesting trivia, history and and well just stuff to make you laugh. It was well presented with different readers reading different sections and I enjoyed completely.

Fun Facts @ High Speed
After all of the sci-fi novels I have been listening to lately, this was actually a really welcome change of pace.
I have always been a fan of strange facts and short anecdotes about interesting events, so this audiobook was straight up my alley. It didn't disappoint. It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect if you've ever glanced at one of these books in a friend or family member's washroom. No big surprises here.
My only piece of advice to potential reader is that you should probably only listen to this in small chunks at a time. As interesting as its contents are, I imagine that listening to this book in one full sitting would get really old, really fast.
8.48 / 10.00

Lots of Fun Facts
This book is great to fill the short drives. You can pick up and stop it at anytime and not feel like you’re missing something or forgotten what the story is about. It is loaded with lots of fun facts. I only wish it was longer than 4 hours because it is so fun to listen to.

The overall of the app is OK...
...just because the cost of the books. The performance is great and since I love Uncle John's tidbits of facts and stories I give it a 6 out of 5. if you've never read or listened to these books, do it now. it's perfect for mundane tasks and keeps your attention. if you don't like one story or fact the next one is coming up soon... and you learn a lot!

Could have picked much better material
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It depends upon how bored you happen to be at the moment... Perhaps a good filler.
Would you recommend Uncle John's Bathroom Reader to your friends? Why or why not?
No! The material was lacking and the funniest stuff was left out.
Which character – as performed by Full Cast – was your favorite?
Do not have a good grasp on the readers, but the did do very well with mixing it up.
Do you think Uncle John's Bathroom Reader needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
If they put into it half the preparation they use for their books, then yes. But another one like this, I hope not.

I liked the trivia about baseball.

I enjoyed the story about the man who read his own obituary that was written by mistake. He wasn't pleased with what was said. So he decided to change his life.
