Brandon Jones Wrote a Book!

This is just an easy breezy hour-long interview I wanted to do with Brandon Jones because he just published his first novel.

[@magnolia549]

It's always cool to see the members of the Easy Allies crew, past or present, hang out even if you don't exclusively work together anymore. It's nice.

[@DzekoVelez]

To me they seemed like the closest group of gaming journalists, they seem way more like friends than coworkers

[@user-os7ec4dm8x]

Yep EZA has gone downhill since then, just the other day the community manager gabby apologized for no aparent reason after having Brad's friend Dustin on the podcast, causing Bloodworth to then apologize to Dustin for the apology and in the process outed some fascist called ZEO on resetera...! Crazy stuff, bring back the GT crew and programming!

[@geneticjen9312]

​@@user-os7ec4dm8xTBF it's normal to want to distance your company from awful companies owned and run by bigots. I can't say anything about Dustin beyond the fact that he chooses to work for those people. But is it that weird for one company to not want to be associated with awful, vile people?

[@martymcintosh5026]

maybe one day Ben will hang out

[@DroneCorpse]

@@user-os7ec4dm8xwe don’t care why are you bringing up random drama

[@kienesel7]

I love a friend being excited about a friend's project. And I love Brandon so it all works out.

[@rudeboyspodcast]

I definitely say you should have more guests on your channel, Bosman. You have very natural chemistry and good taste in people.

[@endigopink]

I swear I'd pay good money to have the two of you do a chill podcast or something, gaming or otherwise!

[@Frisket]

Absolutely seconding this!

[@jamescboyd]

Instant Patron.

[@NikTreekle]

Me too!

[@cozybones4644]

They need to continue their Pokemon legacy haha

[@Richie_Godsil]

I have been following these two silly men for over a decade and can't express enough my love and admiration for them ❤

[@FrothingFanboy]

I like that Brandon is never at a loss for words, no matter what weird questions/scenarios Kyle cooks up. No surprise he's got the chops to write a book.

[@LordMarlle]

He absolutely has been at a loss for words multiple times. Kyle does that to people

[@crfstaley]

I miss these two together so much

[@twincherries6698]

Yeah, almost got teary eyed just at the beginning

[@JeffVan604]

The chemistry between Brandon and Kyle is always really fun to see.

[@FoxJupi]

Yes! Brandon talking again! Miss him so much. Plus a one hour conversation, perfect time. Honestly, Kyle carries on the GT legacy best.

[@DarshUK1]

Co-founder of Gametrailers, The Voice of Easy Allies, -Author- Novelist - Jonesy

[@julian_whiteway]

I've never clicked so fast on a video in my life Kyle hosting the main podcast with Jones will always be top tier EZA for me, I miss it

[@Tien1million]

The GT days, and early EZA were great. Miss looking forward to their videos.

[@sh00ner]

Bosman, I know the schedules probably don't match up well anymore, but PLEASE try to do more of these with Jones. It doesn't need to be fancy or have high budge editing. Its just really nice to see you guys talking, about literally anything honestly. I still rewatch the Pokemon videos you two made to this day, just to hear the discussions.

[@MonsterMJ]

yes true

[@NikTreekle]

Agreed. Best in the biz.

[@MellowFelloh]

Yeah the Brandon Plays Pokemon series is my favorite thing Easy Allies has made.

[@mikeymaiku]

My two boys

[@danwarren]

The infinite respect I have for Jones finding a way to make all his Theme Park trips a business research Tax Deduction. In all seriousness, huge accomplishment. Congratulations Jones, can't wait to read it.

[@VicRattler]

When Jones was talking about how first person perspective is weird because people don't tell themselves a story, I was like... they don't? Is that weird? When Kyle said, he'd been trying to wrap this up for 20 minutes and they both laughed, I realized how much I've missed this dynamic.

[@shepherd6692]

Jones needs to put it out as an audiobook read by him. His voice is so perfect for audiobooks

[@AmandaTroop]

Coming soon!

[@laserenforcer1317]

Bosman and Jones were always my favorite combo. As someone who reads a lot and likes to write short stories it’s great to hear about Jones’ writing journey.

[@lkjhgfdas7]

"Kyle & Jones" could very well be a super chill channel you know. You can feel the essence of GT/EA right here. Love all the guys at Easy Allies, don't get me wrong, Love and Respect, but there's something extra to be said and felt when these two are sharing the screen. Good luck Brandon and good luck Kyle, keep it up both of you!

[@EntertainmentBytes_]

Kyle is awesome to reach out to Brandon like this and support his dream. Wish he was my friend! Whirly World sounds like an interesting premise.

[@the_sigil4340]

Jones and Kyle together is always a must watch. Here with this epic win from Jones to top it off, it's just... *chef's kiss*

[@Cellsplitter]

Big ups to Brandon Jones for getting his book out there. Will keep an eye out for that audio book.

[@SlitheringStevePhilips]

These two have always been peak bro energy And man we could have been in a class with Jones

[@TheKavernacle]

Great stuff lads, always love hearing about the creative process as someone who has secretly written my own stuff, happy for Brandon! - you guys have always had a great dynamic though, miss that on EZA

[@novanleon]

I love both these guys. Been following them since the GT days. Such a wholesome and heart warming interview. PS. Brandon’s voice is so iconic. He should voice his own audiobook.

[@AmandaTroop]

He did! Should be out shortly.

[@AlexProductions24]

Man, I really miss listening to these two on a podcast together every week. Top tier duo.

[@StinkyScrublet]

Cool, love Brandon Jones. You two were Gametrailers for me, and why I followed Easy Allies.

[@Schmidteren]

Best voice for reviews, EVER! I need him in more stuff. Always watched Gametrailers and EasyAllies reviews just for him.

[@Glbkwpg]

Would legitimately pay for a monthly chat between you two as a casual podcast, just a recording like this, no flashiness required. Realise it probably won't happen but its such a blast to have you both back on the same video.

[@strahm998]

This is the most easy allies thing I've watched in some time

[@theburritohero]

Bosman and Jones making a bi-weekly, or even monthly podcast where they talk about writing/games/whatever they want is the dream

[@ohbigstretch]

I just bought the book, but I will DEFINITELY be getting the audio book too. Jones doing his out narration? Heeeeeeeeck yeah!

[@Solidnypan]

I love the cosy vibes of this interview

[@TextureKing]

I wished that there was some kind of discussion with Brandon about this book of his and now Kyle gives us this. Thank you so much for doing it!

[@christopherjbsnow]

Thank you Kyle for having Brandon on and supporting him the way you did. It's awesome to see him so excited about something he is personally so passionate about. Great stuff!

[@WackoWambo]

Jones, you have inspired me. I will write a novel. When I finish this novel, I will reach out and thank you.

[@poweredman]

who cares

[@ranihalperin8675]

Hello old friends I’m from Israel and it was really comforting to watch this in this difficult days ❤

[@TheFattiShow]

I hope You and your loved ones are OK! We hope for the best and say hi to them all the way from Denmark 😘💕

[@fishflop_]

Jolly vibes. Great seeing you guys just chat about stuff you're interested in. Will definitely be checking out the audiobook.

[@Darkaran1]

This is the best easy allies video since Brandon left

[@Ridnarhtim]

It always makes me so happy to see these two together.

[@MellowFelloh]

Oh man this is gonna be such a treat. Looking forward to watching this during lunch tomorrow

[@poweredman]

Regurgitate

[@mindful_nerd4676]

Damn give us a monthly pod with these two and Ben Hanson from MinnMax. Good people good chemistry

[@Huckleberry42]

Man I missed jones so much. Hope he come back in front of the camera somehow. Even if its not gaming related.

[@forrestbarnes6035]

Love this! So Happy for both of you!

[@raminile]

Great stuff. Really fun seeing you two interact again

[@clayton_games]

Awesome to hear this news! I'll be waiting for the audio book.

[@DOTQWERTY218]

Thanks for doing this. Looking forward to reading the book and the audio version.

[@bitterbatterdog]

I'm not a book person but I'll listen to an audiobook when it arrives

[@salmonsdontdie4952]

This brought me lots of joy. Much love to the both of you. Follow those dreams!

[@ultimadrago]

Brandon Jones is great! Thanks for bringing him on! I purchased the ebook.

[@Trev0413]

This was great, glad to see Jones doing what he loves and you guys getting to share it is awesome. Life does get crazy like Jones said he can only catch you in brief snippets; gotta cherish these moments. Hope you guys do more in the future. Cheers

[@dcb976]

And I thought I was going to bed

[@AlexanderArts]

Glad to have a listen!~

[@of-Rivia]

Congratulations, Jones! And thanks for interviewing him, Kyle. I am in the midst of trying to write a graphic novel so this was both insightful and inspirational for me, personally. Best of luck with future endeavors, Jones.

[@WhispearsofPadme]

Very much enjoyed!

[@drunkinmonk1991]

Great bonus video!

[@maleksamman1948]

Did I hear right that there's an audiobook in the works? Oooh, if that happens I'd definitely get that!

[@waywardlaser]

Love you guys! Been around since the early GT days.

[@twistedtxb]

This whole conversation warmth my heart

[@TheoriesofEverything]

Welcome Brandon! Thank you, Kyle, for bringing the legend on.

[@CuriousCorduroy]

Every time you guys reconnect in a video it’s like your guys haven’t missed a beat.

[@MonsterMJ]

Kyle and Jones are so amazing for me and i love them so much its nice to see them from time to time again together thank you kyle and jones ;) i cant wait to read the book and congrats on this jones

[@TotemoGaijin]

Yeah, I can't imagine how many people want to, even try to, write a book and just fall flat. GG Jones! Thanks for the interview, Kyle.

[@Blag_Cog]

25:40 wtf was that transition in topics lmao

[@cptspoofy]

Random thought: it blows my mind that Kyle was in the same sketch comedy crew as Joe Pera in college.

[@DaiNguyen-xv4vn]

This was so much more fun to listen to than I thought.

[@paddys9706]

This is such a ... treat.

[@stellar8healing]

So heartwarming 😊

[@WarpHype]

Two of the greats. Fun watch!

[@omegakaozz1332]

Kyle and Brandon together is just magic.

[@brainfreeze10]

God I love this duo. I was going to buy the book, but I can't pass up the opportunity to get 9+ hours of Jones voice in the audio version, so I will patiently wait for that.

[@jakej722]

Very cool, Jones. Great to see these two fine lads together again.

[@tasseiviews2947]

Great seeing Jones again

[@Morgoth136]

Man it's good seeing these two back together

[@lukedouglas2773]

Nice. Just bought a copy for my Kindle. Will begin reading it tonight.

[@diegocevallos5504]

Lovely stream, this warms my hearth

[@Jodrac]

Daddy’s been busy. Thanks for the sweet update! Takes me back to the good old GT/Allies days. Definitely be looking out to get a copy of the book.

[@omensoffate]

Don’t be weird

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

Great podcast. Good on Jones achieving his dreams.

[@FoxJupi]

Gotta buy this book!

[@MooseheadStudios]

Here for it and this book

[@RareBirdGames]

Fantastic, as someone who has followed Gametrailers saga from the beginning it's always awesome to see the team branch off to try a new creative outlet. I feel like someone from this group, especially Kyle, will be a game developer one day if given the opportunity. Or atleast I'd love to see it.

[@rekrap1369]

Glad to see you're asking the hard hitting shirt questions

[@minnmax]

Hell yes.

[@SaraMaq]

Congratulations Jones 🎉 very happy and proud

[@DefenestratedPiglet]

With the red T-shirt on, Brandon reminds me of Tom Scott sometimes, like he's Tom's American cousin. And "Scott & Jones" has a nice ring to it :P

[@Luffy2008]

Really happy for Jones, rooting for his success.

[@tcg2717]

1:02 "Author means you write anything in *my book*" Ayyyyy.

[@patches6839]

Congrats Jones. Will check it out once it comes to UK Audible.

[@beepz]

What a treat!

[@tonyrivera8996]

I'll be sure to check out the audio book. And who knows, maybe I'll strike a deal with Jones to translate it to spanish and narrate it on ACX as well.

[@Rex_Cosmos]

I love you guys 😭

[@KB92]

Bought, cant wait to read it

[@stevoofd]

This was a fun ride

[@ChichiNaka]

Shoutouuuuuuut to the eza subreddit. This didn't show up in my youtube feed, if not for the link there I wouldn't have caught it 😢 Reinventing yourself in your 40s(??) puts into perspective my friends in our 20s thinking we're lost not knowing if we want to follow out college degrees the rest of our lives after like 3-5 years in the field

[@SacrosanctMD]

Jones and Bosman is the best thesis-antithesis bit there is in a gaming podcast. I miss these two.

[@bundo-san]

Man I remember going on GameTrailers to fire up the Final Fantasy retrospective and falling asleep too the soothe voice of Brandon Jones 😋 Thanks for the interview mr Bosman!

[@unruliestcat]

Congrats Brandon, that’s awesome, must be great to finish a long project :). I so miss the days of gametrailers, I used to love watching you guys. Now all we get is Kyle being annoying and shamelessly not even slightly excited about VR haha ❤

[@azriell783]

Seeing Kyle and Jones together again is the highlight of my week.

[@MellowFelloh]

Damn I miss you two in videos so much. Such great chemistry. Glad Jones is doing well and that Kyle is doing "Okay"

[@J790F]

Had no idea Jones was writing, cant wait to grab the book

[@BradYoung87]

Kyle, I have been following the GT/EA crew for 16 years now, I vividly remember the Viacom/Defy days. Uncertain times. Hearing the way you describe wanting to help foster the dreams of your friends was extremely touching as I am an extreme empath and can't turn off my need to help. You are a gem! And there's no way Brandon's sales won't see a spike from the exposure! Way to use your platform for the right reasons my fellow human

[@poweredman]
