Gosh this one was great. Have him on again soon.

Dennis

Sexier than Ben Howard’s voice?! We will see!

I know this is 3 years late but I (a leggy blonde) was standing behind Brace at Nico’s reading at KGB

Kevin Diez

Lets go party rockers!!!

Kevin Diez

Carly you are the avengers of commenting

Lizzie

Alrightyyyy

Leilani Doneux

Gonna be a cunt about it and say I read Cherry before it really hit. Can’t even begin to explain what that book has meant to me overtime, and how much it helped me understand the world around me in Appalachia. So stoked to hear this.

Vinay

Can Liz please comment on the Megan Markle interview in your next cold open or cold ending? Or a whole episode about the monarchy would be great. I'm interested because she hates her and I think Meghan's a phony too.

Cara

Very cool!

R Finkle

you son of a gun

Andrew James

This book hit me so hard when I first read it. One of the best things I've ever read

Rand

Oh fuck yeah. Nico you are the man. Read Cherry twice in six months. Kudos! Can’t wait to listen to this

Rand

So great when an author you admire lives up to the billing you’ve built up in your head.

Brian

I like that Brace led this episode. It felt like he’s know nico for a long time

Jon Spiegler

Thanks for this. I consider Cherry one of the best books of the century.

William

Was there a little bit of dope done during recording?

Drew

appreciate this, had to resub immediatey. Cherry was one of my favorite books ive read in years.

Cara

Anybody know if the Emily character in the book was based on someone and if so if she’s okay/sober?

Matthew

Amazing ep ty

Ethan

So we get Brace Belden movie now right ?

wonderfell

Damn Liz finally left. Can’t wait for Racial Jake to join the pod full time along with guest appearances by mehmet

Clay Perry

really enjoyed this one

Jack

I love this guy

danny

this guy is cool as shit

James Keegan

bought the book because I like how this guy talks

Rand

Also, let’s all just admit that Emily was totally right and robbing banks is fucking badass!! ***SATIRE***

Jonathan Smith

great interview, listening to the audiobook of Cherry right now.

Nic Warnock

This episode has inspired me to learn how to read, so I can read Cherry

will michel

this was a great episode. went out and bought the book this morning after listening. thanks!

Benjamin Kelly

Fuckkk i wish I was cool like Brace and Nico instead of a bourgeois little bitch boy :(

markers

Kill a Afghan war vet amputee.

Lucas

just do heroin my man

Sparrow

Third world was originally a hopeful term rather than an epithet

becks

Someone tell me why Nico sounds exactly like Conor Oberst

Jack Nancy

This is without a doubt one of the best episodes of TrueAnon I have heard, and gives me faith that we can win eventually to be honest. Love this so much. Edit: nice Max Wade shout out. That dude made my brother and my first fake id's.

TrueAnonPod

sorry i acdientally deleted nicky martins comment trying to respond to it. whoops. anyways i reccomend you all buy the BOOK of Cherry, apparently the movie is very different in both tone and substance. if you liked Cherry and already read it I love the books "Angels" by Denis Johnson "Whores for Gloria" by Vollmman and a season in hell by rimbaud. I like those books they kinda like this one

TrueAnonPod

i'll ask, i was wondering about that too

Jake Torrey

"I wanted to be a librarian" that fucking got me :'(

Cara

Thanks man! It’s been bothering me since I read the book

Jessica S

This was one of the best interviews I’ve listened to in a long time. I’ve got a close family member who spent most of his 20s and into his 30s in prison for the same thing. I’m going to send him your book. I listened to TAs episode on the McKinsey settlement for their part in the opioid crisis, and I thought about said family member all the way through it and I was filled with rage over those pricks who kept at it even when they knew the destruction it wrought. My family argues with me when I try to point out the role others played in his addiction and incarceration, and they say “tut tut”, he made his own choices. Never mind the kid had no prior indication of addiction until he was injured on the job and was prescribed the magic pain pill. I will go to my grave asserting that those MFers created a world that people never would’ve ended up in had it not been for the slick sales campaign of how oxytocin will actually NOT create addicts. Sorry. That was a tangent. Your stories really moved me, Nico. I hope they continue to reach more people who need hope too. Thanks for giving him the platform, Brace. ✌️

GP

Y'all sold me on the book. I wanna pick it up but I thought I'd ask, is there a particular place to get it that's best for Nico in therms of $$$ he sees?

Dave

the max wade shoutout had me howling! rip to those fakes but that dude was a dick to so many friends. true anon please blow up brill’s rap career and post the free max wade song.

Nikola

His voice is sooo sexy 🤤

Rachel Rabbit White

She’s good and living clean she’s actually a librarian now! They’re on as good terms as can be

Rachel Rabbit White

Pretty sure he gets the same royalties anywhere, directly through knopf might be best

Madeline Yarbrough

“Cherry” is an astounding novel- beautiful, horrifying and deeply human. I hope Mr. Walker is working on a new one. The movie looks like it’s garbage, so I hope he got lots of $$$ for the rights.

Swrds Rvrsd

he sounds like he was born in the 1930's

Cara

So happy for her and thanks for sharing that. Those characters have really sat with me so it’s nice to know they’re both okay! Also love your poetry!

Samir Knox

That's what I was thinking of, he sounds like Conor does at the beginning of At the Bottom of Everything but he sneaks a bit of bernie in there sometimes.

skipmur

Would be great if you guys talked about Whitney Webb having her patreon shut down for questioning the mainstream rhetoric regarding the Covid lockdowns and global vaccine rollout. You guys haven't really talked about either of those topics either tbf, would make for some interesting content. In your earlier episodes focusing on Covid yous seemed pretty worried about it and were fully behind the lockdowns, would be cool to hear if your opinions have changed at all a year later.

Kristian T. Kenwood

awesome interview, I love Nico's voice and demeanor so much. also as a recovering addict, this is one of the most relatable episodes I've heard.

Kom Rad Randy

two guys doing "cool guy" voice to each other until they get excited talking about dope

Arielle Curtin

Going to read the physical book. Nico’s voice and accent are fantastic—could listen for days. Also, with sister who is former heroin addict, I appreciate the open discussion of it. And the fact that all three of you have kicked it! Now, what have you done with Liz????

Chumbucket

brace really liked that third institution joke

Doug Welch

Is this guy high right now?

Nora

Adored this!

Return of The Mac 2nite

Disappointed the others couldn’t join in, it really feels like the bonus eps are being made with less effort recently.

Thomas

same

Scott Lenz

Maybe the most self-indulgent ep ever. #dontdodrugs

Dave P.

drugs are cool dipshit

John

Just listened to this episode. Really entertaining.

Eric Murphy

Really nailing the junkie time wasting aspect. Perfectly. If only i could get that time back.
