Blazed Book Reviews Kate Spencer Is In The Dead Moms Club
- [Voice] Ga deesh! - Mahalo, book nerds. My name is Jon Gabrus, but please call me Gabrus. And this is Blazed Book Reviews. (Classical music and bong rip) Joining me today on BBR
is author Kate Spencer.
She wrote a book called Dead Moms Club. Now Kate, as someone who has a dead dad, should I not have read this book? 'Cause I got sad at times. - I think the concept
of grief is universal. So if you have a dead anybody
or even if you've just experienced any sort of
sadness, you can read it.
- Cause I laughed at times too. - Good
- And then I felt like a sicko. Laughin's at dead people. - It's not making fun of dead people.
It's kind of finding the
humor in our most sad moments. Which I'm sure you probably - Whoa, sorry this one's laced. Someone's trying to kill
me like Walter White. It's ricin.
- That sounds like you might just be high and feeling paranoid. - You're filming this. (Guitar rock) So Kate, I'm sure you had to tap into some not so happy memories
while writing this book. My question for you is
what was the hardest part personally about writing the book? - You know it was a really
emotional experience - Hey, sorry about that, I
just have a Postmates order for Jon
- You can keep going, Kate.
Yeah that's me
- [Kate] Okay, um - You got that fire sauce in here - [Delivery Guy] Yeah I got all the sauces - [Kate] It was a really
emotional experience - [Delivery Guy] Mild, hot, spicy - [Jon] Oh awesome
- [Kate] I definitely cried while writing the book a lot. - [Delivery Guy] What's this whole - [Jon] Oh, it's a show
called Blazed Book Reviews - [Kate] Pulling from watching
my mom on her deathbed. - I interview people who, this is Kate. - [Delivery Guy] Oh no way
- Hi - [Delivery Guy] Hey, how's it going? - Nice to meet you.
- Awesome, this is a book review right? - Yeah, more or less. So you're saying, what
was it, the hardest part? (Loud crunch) - Writing about my mom on her death bed was particularly hard, she
died very quickly of cancer. - Mmm - I'm sorry a crumb of meat just fell off your beard back into the taco. - Can we do her answer again? She kinda stumbled on a couple of words.
- Okay (bell rings) (two crunches) - So according to Tom Hanks,
there's no crying in baseball. Did you ever consider
trying baseball for grief? Now, it's time for weed pairings. You know how some people
pair wine with food? Well, I pair weed strains with books. (Trap music) Kate Spencer's The Dead Moms Club.
I highly recommend pairing it with a mind heavy upper sativa. For example, my little vape pen
is chock full of Jack Herer. One of my favorite strains
for getting things done. - It's like you just vaped
on a very light tampon.
- Yes, it's a low flow day
for Uncle Jon over here. Now, I'm ready to read. - Are you actually
- Oh! - Are you actually reading it? - Oh, uh-huh! Spoiler alert, the mom dies. That's so fucked up, I'm sorry.
Spoiler alert, the mom dies.
It happens pretty early. (Both laugh) - Are you just reading a blank page? - No, I'm reading the last
paragraph of your book. Honestly, I was just trying to read it cause I was gonna make a joke about it. But I started getting choked
up reading the last paragraph.
- That's really nice. - When I'm stoned, I'm
pretty close to just fucking cracking up laughterwise. I'm also pretty close to just bawling my fucking eyes out at any moment. - I think it's really
important that we all emote, and if something moves
us we should let it.
- Hit me with the close-up, watch this. (Somber piano music) - [Kate] Are you crying? Looks like you're holding it. - It's coming, it's fine, it's fine. - Don't hurt yourself, honestly.
Please don't hurt yourself. - Yeah, it's just not happening. - It's okay, you don't
- I'm sorry. - Not everyone's gonna cry.
- Is there anything that you
do now that makes you cry? And you're not allowed to
say think of your dead mom. - Okay
- That's an obvious answer. So Kate, where can we buy your book? - You can buy it at Amazon - I'm sorry actually we're out of time. BBR will BRB, until then Mahalo.
- Are we done?
- I gotta blast a shit. - Are we done? - I didn't make it. - Did you? - Dead Mom's Club by Kate Spencer. I give it one living thumbs up.
- Did you poop your pants? - Yes..
