Read Tequila Mockingbird (cookbook of book-themed cocktails)
Okay so on the librewery note, my partner and I were at the Denver science museum on a Friday like six months ago and when we were about to leave they wheeled out a beer cart near the entrance. It changed the game hahaha, we stayed for another 2 hours 😂
Jake really bringing down the mood at 44:30 jeez
The Twins! bit was just epic 10/10 no notes
Lake America! 🇺🇸🦅🦅🤘🏻😎
Isn't The Babadook about greif?
Geodes and granite are pretty cool
Yay!! I've been waiting for another of these 🙌
Listening to this from Madison, WI! Check out Leopold’s next time you’re in the area! Great Librewery!
Fun fact about moths! There are some species that vibrate their genitals at a frequency that fucks with bat sonar. So the moth with fat ass is a real thing.
I love reading out loud
Piratesoftware would LOVE this. Did you know he worked for Blizzard?
as a maintenance phase and if books could kill listener, i’m genuinely baffled by how many similar jokes and references have been made in this episode
I almost pissed myself when they started going for the phone book and Emily just went "YEAH WE DO" 😭
Love the absolutely rancid persona they cook up for these
Happy Birthday Murph. I'm so excited for some book club action.
Checkout Leopold's next time you're in Madison Wisconsin
Only NADDPOD will make you imagine a 35 year old man making out with his hand to impress new friends/their kids 💀😂😂😂
murph please forget everything you know about saskatchewan. Its really scary when you say it. No one outside the country should know about that
I can't believe they glossed over Jake's perfect "Motorola Razor" joke. He might not guest again
yessss always looking forward to these
19:43 Jake’s board joke
Woo! shout out Saskatchewan!
Not exactly librewians but the community library by my college had monthly “wine down” nights where you paid a $5 cover and got as much wine and cheese as you wanted
I think Goosebumps 8BBC might be my very favorite type of Naddpod episode, every time one of these drops it feels like Santa rolling up at random times of the year with presents
Omg I read this as a child !!!!! THIS IS SO EXCITING!
Dunking on Gladwell got me pretty good 🤣
Librations
Been waiting for another one of these for so long. Glad to see one of Jake’s episodes didn’t just stay on the cutting room floor
They ended the pod different now Bahamian left me and I’m worried the baba yaga will take me this night
My god you’re right. I’m banking on cheeky Baba Yaga this night
Huge day to be named Konnor
We’ve got a brewery/bookstore here in Atlanta called Bold Monk. I’m a brewer professionally but have an English degree so sent my resume for a job listing as a bookstore curator but it ended up being an old listing
Holy shit I think I remember reading this specific book in elementary school! Unless there is another very similar one out there, I believe in one of the endings you get mummified.
Murph mentions the Ottawa Senators ✊
We have a liquor-bookstore here that sells pairings. They also do wine but mostly whiskeys n shit.
Glory to 8bbc
In case Caldwell isn’t aware, although I’m sure he is, there is a Halloween Rankin Bass special from ‘67 that would be up his alley.
Which not for nothing, does use King Kong as a “Monster” so in that vein maybe R.L Stine is actually just an adhering to the Rankin Bass Precedent of Kaijus etc being Monsters.
And TWINS!!!
this was perfect. murph just plowing through and seamlessly integrating every inane thing the giggly crew pitched. flying ferret membrane, caldwell's fat ass moth. love ya 8bbc
Madison WI resident here to shoutout Leopold’s, the bar/cafe bookstore in town!
Not Madison, but a lot of Milwaukee breweries have been doing book clubs and book swaps lately. We're almost at Librewery!
“Talked off” is not leaving my lexicon for a while
8 bit book club and its offshoots are my favorite shows from NADDPOD
Ray La’Rhode strikes again 😂
Idk if anyone has said this but PSA!! If you wake up to a bat in your room or a bat in your child's room, please go ahead and get you/them the rabies shot! Bat bites are so small they can be undetected and rabies is terrifying and almost always fatal.
excellent advice, now what about a ferret
Well I simply can't resist based on the ending. If you're repping the V2W, the library I work at is actually having a non alcoholic beer and music afternoon this month.
Tell me your favorite liquor I'll recommend you a book
An Ottawa Senators reference. My life is complete
so much talk about canada and yet no new canada live shows 💔 your canadian girlfriend will think you abandoned her
I kept reading this as wing bat Hall
Jake can you get Zoharn Mamdani on this ?
All aboard the horny jail train 🤦♀️
The rapid fire phone sex jokes are absolutely frying me, you guys are on one this ep 🤣
How did R.L. know that yes Spider-Man is the best comic book tok collection 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Love the old 8BBC pic for the segment. So cute to see em as young’uns. So wild to think that they were like mid-20s when they started that show
Holy shit, I read this one when I was a kid! What a trip down memory lane .
Screaming at my phone right now "YOU CAN CALL THEM BAR-BARIANS IT'S RIGHT THERE YOU ARE PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED IMPROV ARTISTS"
The Library of Congress has Happy Hour on Thursdays
Hello I’m here for the thick moth ass?
There actually is a bar in La Crosse WI I’ve gone to called the Library. The slogan is “If Mom calls, tell her I’m at The Library!”
Yes!! I've LONGED for more adventure book theatre
Can’t wait to listen to this with my hot Canadian girlfriend, I just hope it doesn’t drain all my battery because we’ll need it later.
Hey it's the RL Stine CYA I had as I kid!
If the 2Crew/Lore Lords come back to Austin, I hope they check out Vintage. It's a bookstore and wine bar!!
YES! YEEEEEEES! Also, most of the bits they do in the Goosebumps books are completely different. The grandma one and Dr Eeek were about the same, but the rest aren’t at all, so I don’t understand that criticism. My only complaint is that they haven’t done the Animorphs choose your own adventure book.
This feels crazy to say, but I actually miss the sonic books. These goosebumps books are kind of a drag Also it’s the same bit every time, which really shines a spotlight on just how dull Stine’s writing is
love that they got jake on here. maybe they can get cake on next time
Gods, I can't wait for the T H I C C Moth art
I can’t believe they talked about moth asses and Godzilla and Caldwell didn’t bring up Mothra even once 💔
Or Mothman!!
Would you love me if I was a worm? A bat? A ferret? A 35-year-old who’s addicted to phone sex?
A fat assed insect?
You can tell RL Stine was the living “guy in the corner” meme, his “characters” are always like brooding in every opening and expecting others to interact with them, “they don’t know how freaking cool I am omg they are missing out on awesome me” then proceeds to describe a milquetoast generic 90s kid conglomerated from the pop-culture zeitgeist of the time. So predictable Mr. Stine, so predictable… then again was a great business model cranking out those books for the scholastic book fairs.
NO!!! I WONT CHOOSE THE SCARE!!! 😰
About to press play, if they make the protagonist in their 30’s again I’m turning the episode off
I think you better cancel your subscription then 🥹🙏
Your Dad picking up the line and telling you that you have to stop doing phone sex with your totally real Canadian girlfriend, despite sounding super experienced at not-phone sex, is such a universal '90s experience
Spectravision. Iykyk
At first I thought it said bat hell and I was wondering if it was gonna be like bear hell. Still unsure how that works.
🌾🌅💛Saskatchewan Mentioned💛🌅🌾
Murph pronounced all 4 syllables smh. Rookie mistake
hey sure
Hell yeah
i started listening after pausing dead poets society and almost immediately getting hit with you chose poetry over business as a joke is insane
Ahh I'm so happy to see this come back 😭😭 it's my fav series you guys do and I just want a dozen of these!! I've honestly wondered what I could do to get more of these out of you guys lol 😂 thank you for this!! 💚💚💚
Much respect for keeping the classic 8BBC theme song even as it makes less and less sense. Shout out to the OG 8 Bit Book Buds out there!
The less sense it makes the funnier it becomes. Also it's just an extremely solid themesong!
Just in time for my hour drive home! Dice Christ bless you! 🎲🙏
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa
YEEESSSSS
Finally! I miss Adventure Books :)
Recorded inspite of Jake's many past (and passed) agents
I'M SO READY TO BE 36 !!
So glad they got Special Guest Jake Hurwitz back for this.
Back? Pretty sure this is his first time.
NEVER BEEN SO BACK
Let's friggin go !
Yaaaayyy
Hell yeah
