Acerca de esta escucha
The first memoir by beloved comedian, actor, and writer Brian Posehn, hilariously detailing what it's like to grow up as and remain a nerd, with a foreword by Patton Oswalt.
Brian Posehn is a successful and instantly recognizable comedian, actor, and writer. He also happens to be a giant nerd. That's partly because he's been obsessed with such things as Dungeons and Dragons, comic books, and heavy metal since he was a child; the other part is because he fills out every bit of his six-foot-seven-inch frame. Brian's always felt awkward and like a perpetual outsider, but he found his way through the difficulties of growing up by escaping into the worlds of Star Wars, D and D, and comics and by rocking his face off. He was a nerd long before it was cool (and that didn't help his situation much), but his passions proved time and again to be the safe haven he needed to persevere and thrive in a world in which he was far from comfortable.
Brian, now balls deep in middle age with a wife, child, and thriving career, still feels like an outsider and is as big a nerd as ever. But that's okay, because in his five decades of nerdom, he's discovered the key to happiness is not growing up. You can be a nerd forever and find success that way - because somehow along the way the nerds won.
Forever Nerdy is a celebration of growing up nerdy and different. This isn't Brian's life story, just some bizarre and hilarious stories from his life, along with a captivating look back at nearly 50 years of nerd culture. Being a nerd hasn't always been easy, but somehow this self-hating nerd who suffered from depression was able to land his dream job, get the girl, and learn to fit in. Kind of. See how he did it while managing to remain forever nerdy.

Historia
Pioneers of Britain's nascent rock and metal scene back in the late 1970s, Iron Maiden smashed its way to the top, thanks in no small part to the high-octane performances, operatic singing style, and stage presence of its second but twice-longest-serving lead singer, Bruce Dickinson. As Iron Maiden's front man - first from 1981 to 1993 and then from 1999 to the present - Dickinson has been, and remains, a man of legend.

Bob Odenkirk’s career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you. Charting a “Homeric” decades-long “odyssey” from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations - with a side trip into the action-man world that is baffling to all who know him - it’s almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one and one is plenty. Featuring humorous tangents, wild characters, and Bob’s trademark unflinching drive, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic tale told by a determined idiot.

Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like The Borrowers catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.

Colin wants to know: What are we all so afraid of? Every ethnic group has differences, everyone brings something different to the table, and this diversity should be celebrated, not denied. So why has acknowledging these cultural differences become so taboo?

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Forever Nerdy is the only book on Brian Posehn and his curious, eventful, sad, sometimes tragic, defiant, fun, loopy life that you will ever need to read. Throw away all the others on this subject matter and get this one! Joyce had his Ulysses, now Posehn has his Forever Nerdy to engage your eyeballs and wile away your hours, whether you're stuck in Omaha, or in an airport, or on the toilet, or perhaps in a toilet on an airplane over Omaha (a trifecta). Buy it, read it, commit it to memory, and you can be on my team on trivia night!" (Bob Odenkirk of Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, and Mr. Show)
"Everyone has an origin story. For comedians, they're usually pretty sad, tortured, and depressing. Brian Posehn's is no different, and yet he's so different. Forever Nerdy is a memoir about being brave enough to take your torture and find a way to make it your bliss, and is so fun to read you're gonna wish you took even longer poops." (Sarah Silverman, author of The Bedwetter)

In this incisive memoir, Steve Lukather tells the complete Toto story.

Easy For You To Say is "Stuttering" John Melendez's memoir of his childhood being bullied in school for his stutter; his years as an on-air personality with The Howard Stern Show; and his subsequent 10-year career as a writer and on-air announcer for Jay Leno's Tonight Show. It details his famously acerbic relationships with celebrities he interviewed/insulted (Raquel Welch once punched him in the face). In the audiobook, Howard Stern emerges as a surprisingly mean, stingy, and megalomaniacal boss - and Jay Leno as a seeming sufferer from OCD.

Keith Morris is a true punk icon. No one else embodies the sound of Southern Californian hardcore. Short and sporting waist-length dreadlocks, Morris is known the world over for his take-no-prisoners approach on the stage and his integrity off of it. Over the course of his 40-year career, he's battled diabetes, drug and alcohol addiction, and the record industry. My Damage is more than a book about the highs and lows of a punk rock legend, however.

The New York Times best-selling biography of an American comedy legend. After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy - with a face you can’t help but want to punch.

Matt Pinfield is the ultimate music fan. He's the guy who knows every song, artist, and musical riff ever recorded, down to the most obscure band's B-side single on its vinyl-only EP import. As a child, music helped Pinfield make sense of the world. Later he would approach his music idols after concerts and explain why he loved their music. As an adult, rock music inspired his career, fueled relationships, and, at times, became a life raft.

Forever Relatable
If you’ve ever felt like you maybe grew up alone and weird, and no one else did. Read this book and dry those nerdy tears. If you’re a metal fan. Horror fan. Comic fan. And most importantly a Brian Posehn fan. You need to have this book in your physical and/or audible library. I bought the hard copy to follow along to the audible narration by the man himself. I can say with complete sincerity that I not only enjoyed every minute of it. But relished in relatable topics such as life without a dad. Being an outcast weirdo growing up. Achieving your dreams. Meeting a dream girl. I could go on, but you probably stopped reading this review by now. This book is instantly and will remain one of my favorite autobiographies. Thanks Posehn.

I have been and continue to be a huge fan of Brian’s work in all arenas. I’d highly recommend Nerd Poker and his stand up if you have not yet engaged.

This is what the Audiobook format was invented for
Audiobooks are convenient but it's rare that I find a book that truly benefits from the audiobook format. This one definitely does. It's like your hanging out doing bong hits and drinking beers with your pal Brian. If you grew up in the 70's/80's and were raised on Star Wars, Planet of the Apes, Evil Dead II and large doses of heavy metal then this book is for you.

Super awesome nerd stories
I loved how honest Brian was with some pretty embarrassing subjects i.e. bed wetting and girls.
I'm so sorry you broke your back, and I'm glad you seemed to bounce back and learn the obvious from it. We have all done something extremely regrettable while drinking. You were brave enough to share, and I thank you for it.

Not Just For Fanboys
Brian Posehn is someone I’ve enjoyed since first seeing him on the sitcom, Just Shoot Me, years and years ago. I immediately dug his goofy voice and awkwardness (two things I understand). Over the years I saw or heard him in various shows and movies, and when I got to see some of his standup on Comedy Central, where I discovered he was a fellow pop culture junky!
So, when I saw he was releasing a book I knew I had to check it out! I’m especially glad he did an audio version, not just to hear him talk (reading it I would’ve heard his voice the whole time), but because I always love when autobiographies are narrated by the authors.
I think this will resonate with anyone who’s obsessive over a particular fandom(s), and I think of you just enjoy funny stories you’ll love it too! ^_^

Brian Posehn is the guy from that show/movie you love that's also been in that movie/show your mom loves. Hes a comedian, writer, actor, father and a NERD who turned a childhood full of unique experiences and hobbies into a career doing the things he loves. Listening to this book will make you love your inner nerd and laugh out loud. 🤘🤘🤘

I liked that he talked more about where he is now and how he got there with the help of music. I can relate to that a lot. Thanks for sharing your life story with us and I'm glad you took your time with it instead of rushing it like so many others.
