In our second episode we manage to rein in our show to a manageable one hour despite having super-stoner Tony Camin from ‘The Marijuana-logues' as a guest. Joining him is ‘The Tonight Show’ warm up comic and ‘@Midnight’ winner Seth Herzog, as well as the hilarious Kristen Carney from such shows as ‘Loveline’ and ‘The Adam Corolla Show’. In addition to recommending three great books, ‘The Confederacy of Dunces’ by John Kennedy Toole, ‘Black Market Billions’ by Hitha Prabhakar, and ‘Stiff’ by Mary Roach, we delve into such hot button issues as smoking pot backstage at ‘The Jimmy Kimmel Show’, ‘Geek Love’ by Katherine Dunn, ‘Adaptation’ by Spike Jonze, ‘Silicon Valley’ on HBO, 90’s band Crash Test Dummies, and we end with a tribute to legendary Science Fiction writer Terry Pratchett.
