I talk about one of the most fun sessions I've had in awhile, and discuss the novel, John Dies at the End. Good times!
This episode is just two requests mashed together. So first up, Timothy Olyphant tries to contain an outbreak in the 2010 remake THE CRAZIES. Then, things get surreal in JOHN DIES AT THE END.
I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom is a darkly humorous thriller set in modern America's age of anxiety, by New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargin. In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Jason about his rambunctiously thrilling and thought-provoking novel. About I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom: Outside Los Angeles, a driver pulls up to find a young woman sitting on a large black box. She offers him $200,000 cash to transport her and that box across the country, to Washington, DC. But there are rules: He cannot look inside the box. He cannot ask questions. He cannot tell anyone. They must leave immediately. He must leave all trackable devices behind. As these eccentric misfits hit the road, rumors spread on social media that the box is part of a carefully orchestrated terror attack intended to plunge the USA into civil war. The truth promises to be even stranger, and may change how you see the world. About Jason Pargin: Jason Pargin is a New York Times bestselling author who used to write under the pseudonym David Wong. His first novel, John Dies at the End, became a feature film in 2012. He is also the author of the Zoey Ashe series, currently in development for TV.

Jason Pargin is a New York Times best selling author made famous for his John Dies at the End series. His latest novel, Zoey is Too Drunk for this Dystopia is available now.
Jason Pargin has taken care of writing seven novels, including John Dies at the End and the new Zoey Is Too Drunk For This Apocalypse. But he's only taken care of one pet bunny rabbit and his name was Rico. Rico the rabbit. Jason explains to us, at sleep-inducing length and snoozable levels of detail, some of the myths and facts about bunny husbandry, including that you shouldn't feed them carrots but you should expect them to be surprisingly furious if you put a paper plate in their cage. Bunny rabbits are good pets, don't get me wrong, but you just have to know about them and what better time to learn than right now at bedtime?Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

What role does power play in your organization and your team? Tania Luna joins Kevin to discuss rethinking power as capacity, not control, and using “power with” instead of “power over” others. She shares four “power with” principles: follow purpose over person, rely on context over control, cultivate talent over collecting it, and build community over crowds. Leaders need to shift their mindset and take action to create a more inclusive and empowering work environment.

In our penultimate episode for November we take a look at John Dies at the End, the 2012 adaptation of the early web series/novel. We are both at two very very different ends of the spectrum on this one. But you'll have to listen to hear where we stand on it
This week I'm rejoined by Jason Pargin to discuss his new novel, Zoey Is Too Drunk for This Dystopia, and the ways in which the futuristic panopticon he envisions for Zoey and the other citizens of Tabula Ra$a is a little like now, but moreso. We talk for a bit about how book marketing has evolved over the last decade-plus, why TikTok became a must for novelists like himself, and why despite the word “dystopia” being in the title of the book, he doesn't necessarily think of his vision of the near future as a downer. Unpaid endorsement: I really enjoy Jason's novels (he is also the author of the John Dies at the End series), and the Zoey Ashe books (the first two of which are available on Kindle Unlimited) are pretty compulsively readable, a pleasing melange of ideas and imagery and just enough suspense from moment to moment to activate the “okay, just one more chapter” portion of my brain. Zoey Is Too Drunk for This Dystopia is understandable if you've not read the other books in the series, but you can't go wrong by picking up copies of the previous entries. And if you want a signed copy of his latest, you can get one from Parnassus Books in Nashville, but you have to order by Monday.
Mark drops a bombshell on his readers... John the Baptist is dead. We know a lot about John the Baptist, but Mark provides us with a contrast to help us see what it is like to be a servant of the Lord.
You know that feeling when you wake up knowing that you slept through your alarm? Or you forgot to set your alarm? So you're in a state of panic and self-hatred right as your day begins? Jason Pargin wakes up like that every day, whether the alarm went off or not. Jason is the author of seven novels, including John Dies at the End, which was adapted into a movie, and the forthcoming Zoey Is Too Drunk For This Dystopia. The novels, each of which is quite lengthy have all come out in the last 15 years, which means that Jason has been keeping a pretty prolific pace, especially considering that until recently he held down a full-time job while continuing to write on the side. Jason's books have sold well and he has garnered a loyal fan base, which you might think would be enough for Jason to be content if you didn't know that Jason deals with an anxiety disorder. As is stands, he is wracked with the sense that he's never doing enough, never writing enough, never promoting enough, and just generally falling short of what a professional author ought to be.Preorder your copy of Zoey Is Too Drunk For This Dystopia, out October 31st, 2023, as well as Jason Pargin's other novels wherever books are sold.

We start the episode off with some discussion about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike and how the former is about to surpass the length of the one we experienced back in 2007 and what 100 days of the writers on strike might mean for both unions going forward. Then, Devon admits he only was able to read about an hour of “John Dies at the End” but how in that hour he has become hooked and intends to finish while Sejohn explains what he finds so appealing about the novel.Next, Sejohn shares his time with the original NES build of the Japanese release of “Super Mario Bros. 2” and what that made him realize about Nintendo as a game company and the lessons he wish they would bring back from that more experimental entry into the series.Finally, both Say Reporters share their first hand experiences with the new co-op mode of “Vampire Survivors” that is releasing to the public this coming Thursday and why this is probably the perfect time to give the game a try if you haven't yet.

On this week's episode, Sonny is joined by Jason Pargin for a wide-ranging and freewheeling discussion about, among other things, the propriety of jokes about nuclear war, how a cult classic movie kicked off his literary career, and the ways in which social media algorithms have possibly led you to believe that your favorite writers have disappeared and/or died. (As the former executive editor of Cracked dot com, Jason has some experience with this.) Oh, we also talk about his new novel—If This Book Exists, You're in the Wrong Universe, out October 18—and why you don't need to read the three previous books in the series to enjoy it. That said: I would recommend reading them! The first, John Dies at the End, is probably the easiest to skip since you can get the basics by watching the movie (streaming now on Hulu) but basics are, well, basic, and you don't want to be Basic, now do you? (You can buy a new copy here and a used copy here). The second, This Book Is Full of Spiders, is my favorite of them, a deft deconstruction of the late-2000s-to-mid-2010s wave of zombie movies, shows, and video games. (New here, used here.) What the Hell Did I Just Read is perhaps the funniest book about depression I've ever read. (New here, used here.) One of the things we talk about in this episode is Jason's dislike of live events, meaning readings/signings. Which in turn means that if you want to get a signed copy of the new one, well, you have to preorder it from Parnassus Books in Nashville. And you have to do it by October 17, a scant 11 days from now. So … go get it, I don't know what you're waiting on. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
