- Mahalo, book nerds.
I'm Jon Gabrus, and this is Blazed Book Reviews.
Yeah, I read.
(classical music)
(water bong bubbling)
My guest today is Nate Dern,
author of Not Quite a Genius.
(rock music)
- Alright, thanks for having me.
- Dude, don't you love books, man?
Hey, have you ever read this book?
- Ishmael by Daniel Quinn?
Yes, I read that in high school.
- Sick, dude.
Gorillas teaching people stuff,
people learning from gorillas and stuff?
- It's pretty wild.
- [John] Yeah. It's pretty dope right?
- I thought we were gonna be talking about my book.
- This is a new book, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah so,
maybe the read--
you know, my watchers haven't read it.
- I guess probably not.
- No. So there you go.
But have you guys read this?
- [Crowd Voiceover] Totally. Yeah. Book.
- This is sick.
Me and Nate Dern,
author of
Not Quite a Genius
highly recommend Ishmael.
Alright, enough of this book bullshit.
It's time for Weed Pairings.
(upbeat pop music)
For this week's Weed Pairing,
I sought out a strain that would pair well
with Not Quite a Genius by Nate Dern,
and I found that strain in Sour Diesel.
Sour Diesel!
Or as I call it, Sour D.
It's got a pungent, gasoline-like aroma,
and its cerebral high?
It is perfect for the absurd and dark humor
found in this book.
Now, I wouldn't smoke an Indica before reading this book,
because you might fall asleep.
- That's not nice.
- No no no, it's not a dig on your book.
That's what Indica does.
Remember kids, Indica equals Into Couch.
- Kids probably shouldn't be smoking
any type of marijuana, right? - Or reading.
- Or reading?
- This has been Weed Pairings.
(upbeat pop music)
Thought experiment.
If you press this button,
your book becomes a New York Times number one Best Seller,
but someone somewhere dies.
Do you push it?
- No.
(laser blasting) Whoa.
- A person died anyway.
And your book is not number one.
- Oh, that's awful.
- Shit. What if I died?
- You didn't, though.
- Who knows?
I could be dead already.
Elon Musk.
- What about him?
- Not sure.
He's the future car guy?
- Yeah, Tesla. - Tesla.
(funky music)
Alright this challenge
is Stream of Consciousness.
We have five hours to write
whatever you want on this piece of paper.
- Five hours?
- Let's make it a minute. - Okay.
- Let the clock start now.
(silly time passing music)
Time.
I'll read yours first.
- Oh my gosh.
- Here, just pass me your whole pad.
- Alright. (clears throat)
Oh good, sloppy handwriting.
"I am talking to a high person.
"But I myself am not high.
"This reminds me of every party I went to in high school.
"I did not smoke then
"because I was on the cross country team."
- It's true. And I ran out of time.
- Oh. That's pretty awesome. Okay.
- Thank you.
- Here's mine. - I read yours?
- Yeah, you read mine. - Okay.
(laughs)
Okay.
"Two german shepherds having sex."
- Sick, right?
- That's all you wrote.
- Yeah, well, we only had a minute.
(sexy saxophone music)
This has been Blazed Book Reviews.
I'm Jon Gabrus.
Come back for next week's episode
where I interview J. R. Tolkien.
- So thanks again for having me on.
I appreciate it.
Are you fake talking?
You're fake talking because it's the end credits?
I think we can really talk.
Maybe it was a mistake to be on this.
It's pretty early in the morning
and you're already so high.
(soothing guitar music)
