Murph started this episode “ba-da-da-da no one cares” but the sticker drove that out real fast
It's wild that this first episode of 8-bit book club has the same energy as the episodes 4 years later. These beautiful comedy masters have literally never changed.
I'd love a baboon callback character in a real campaign 😂
The Jake reading the sticker bit makes me cry every time I hear it
Caldwell is right All architects are freaks. it comes with the overly pressured schooling. I should know as im typing this from my firms desk listening while I do work
So very fun c:
wait, fermented corn juice? so literally Moonshine?
I stopped and listened to every episode of 8bit book club before this one (finished it yesterda). I acidenlty went about 2 months as a paid patrion without listening to any NADDPOD, whoops. This was fun.
That moment when you realize you might be taller than Caldwell. Lol.
I feel so seen, as an 8-Bit Book Bud.
I know it's been a long time but i can't believe they forgot their iconic introduction lines... "It's different, It's hip, and I enjoyed it."
I just listened to ep.3 of 8-Bit Book Club…. REALLY MURPH? You came up with Jaina Bronzebeard THAT long ago? You legend. Hearing Emily call Jaina “Gina” and then hearing you imagine a character was called bronzebeard was a real nice Naddpod Easter egg ❤️
I loved all the NADDPOD foreshadowing in 8Bit Book Club (finished it yesterday). And getting to see the creation of "Bye sweeties"
OH MY GODDDDDDDDD my pipeline to being obsessed with all the things im obsessed with was literally drawfee->WSWD->8 Bit Book Club->NADDPOD->DnD and Dimension 20. This is so nostalgic!!!! I feel like im riding the bus to high school again, and im in my third year of university now... its been a long journey!! Love you guys. Hugs and kisses. Hopefully this one will be less cruel than that mario book you guys did.
Same! With some Jake and Amir and Hardly Working thrown in! Fantastic people with fantastic content!!
NO WAY!!!! So excited to see this return!!!
This was my first 8-Bit Book Club experience and I'm now happily listening to the backlog. Great show, glad the 2 Crew picked it back up for this!
I really missed this!
God this was a good laugh. Murph's determination to keep the show on topic is always funny to me
YESSSSS!!! Bring the Club back!
Ever heard of Skateboard Champion? That book is rad
I really love 8 bit club. Glad to have more
I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed 8bb until this. #MorePls
Love 8 bit book club!!!!!
I’ve missed 8bit book club so much!!
usually love 8bit book club and mixed bags but could've just skipped this one. skipping over most of the text you're reading and the majority seemed to be talking over each other and hur hur 5'9 short. quality content
Excuse you, 5'9 is medium.
Wow this was perfect! Everyone needs to listen to Finish It! if you like insane 80s choose your own adventure books
It would make my year if y'all could read one of these DnD pick-a-path romances: https://www.tor.com/2021/11/18/roll-for-romance-the-forgotten-dd-romance-novels-of-1983/
Man that intro song really brought back memories 🥹 I'm so glad we got another piece of what will inevitably a piece of culture that baffles historians for ages to come
Lmaoooo I love the height complex y’all have 😂😂😂
This is too perfect: I live in Baltimore, where "lor" is slang for "lil/little," as in "lor bit = lil' bit." So every time the crew calls Loris "Lore Loris," I hear "Little Loris."
I’m crying I really needed this right now
Gotta love the consistency of Jake still being a lesser member of this party. First lowly Bailiff, now permanent guest.
I want to feel sorry, but I laugh instead.
That was a lot of fun, been meaning to check out the old 8-bit. Think that might be my summer walking pod. Looking forward to more of these with Jack ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
absolutely here for the 8-bit revival
Nice catch on the outro. Classy
They forgot to roll for horniness
I'm gonna cry. As an OG book-bud, this is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you
I heard that reference to the Hammer, Murph. I'll always appreciate an off hand MMA reference.
Emily saying, "this guy has a victim complex." killed me!
My question is, do I now have to change my ig bio to “horny for stories”
Love that we are getting a full dose of Murph’s New Jersey with all this corridor and water talk.
Emily's Magic-User comment will get the OSR crowd riled up :)
Just hearing that theme song brought me back! 8 bit book club got me through the end of college fr
Any glass cannon podcast fans in here? Saying Lorc so many times reminded me of a certain dad-bod half orc ranger hahaha
Came here specifically for this comment 😂
god i love 8bbc so much :,)
*heavy breathing*
The absolute chaos of this ep brings happiness to my cold, dead heart.
The blesséd return ‼️
Hell yeah, architects represent - we are definitely dirty twisted little freaks. Also, googling "Pick a Path books" yields a result for one called "Murf the Monster" from 1985. Pretty sure Murph was born in '85. Coincence? I think not...
AAAAH ITS BACK FINALLY!!!!
How the intro usually goes : Murph : Welcome to 8 bits book club, the only book club that make you dumber, I am Brian Murphy joined as always by life/comedy partner Emily Axford Emily : *Makes an impenetrable joke about this week's book, like "Merry Pacmas!"* Murph : And my other life/comedy partner Caldwell Tanner (OR a joke about him being something adorable from the book's universe) Caldwell : *Makes a more accessible joke about the book's universe, usually an exclamation or a rallying cry*
Jake has not earned the title of “life/comedy partner” he is but a lowly bailiff
But could Coleman be a Deviled egg🤔
"Ouy Ouy Ouy" Beetos, 2021
On the train from London to Edinburgh, perfect timing for my way home! Also, see you guys Saturday! ❤️
Thank you for bringing back my favorite podcast
Also the Nathan Yaffe erasure. @ second guest
so happy 8bbc is back!!!
HELL YEAH 8BBC
architect here - we truly all are dirty little freaks
God this made my week!
I'm disappointed there wasn't a poorly photoshopped Jake in the 8 bit bookclub cover.
love this idea
what a nostalgic theme music, I miss this
So fermented corn juice is called "tejuino" and it isn't actually alcoholic unless you add beer to it, or I'm sure there are other recipes with other alcohols. It's popular in Chihuahua and other cities in Mexico. Sorry I love a good moment to share some trivia. I spent a lot of 2020 learning about fermentation in different cultures and experimenting. Such a funny episode! Makes me want to go back and listen to the old 8bit book club eps.
Me a 5’8 140lb man listening to this 😭😭😭😭
So how's the weather up there?
This is the plot of Our Flag Means Death
OOOH MYYY GOOOOD
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow, really unprofessional of Jake in this episode reading a sticker while Murph expertly weaves this grand tale. NOT a good look for him.
LETS GO LITERALLY HAD A MINUTE LEFT IN THE MOST RECENT SHORT REST WHEN THIS POSTED (my second time listening to it of course) 🙏
Yessss
y’all should also post this in the 8bbc spotify feed it would be so sweet to see a new ep there :’)
LD has to be canonical in Bahumia.
let’s GOOOO
"Permanent Guest Jake Hurwitz"
Honestly just excited that it hit on Thursday.
This has me crying already what a fantastic episode
GOATED POSCAST!!!!
Sweeties, I’m thrumming.
The intro gave me levels of serotonin heretofore never experienced by man. (Also this is Nathan Yaffe erasure, he was a guest too!)
WOOOOHOOOO 8BITS BACK ALRIGHT
What the actual frigg!!! Im so in for this!
Love the 8BBC intro
Oh my god, woo! So hyped
8BBC for life!
That’s just how it is on this bitch of an earth
Dropped everything to start this episode IMMEDIATELY
I'd love to see a poorly photoshopped Jake on the cover art of these if they're a reoccurring thing!
Nathan was a guest on 8-bit too!
Well obviously he doesn't count.
You should also put it on the 8BBC podcast channel!
Both appropriate and hilarious.
Hey Sweeties! This is the best thing I've heard since those banging tunes that Harmonica Boy used to play back in World War 2 World. It's different, it's hip, and I enjoy it!
Listening to this on my way to London for tonight’s show!
😭😭😭😭 I'm so happy
🤙
"Annoying halflings"? Oooh, I hope Murph voices them like Scoutmaster Denny..!
I eeped out loud when I saw this! I'm going to have the best drive home from work
Listening to this on the train on the way home from Dublin after seeing the show last night. Amazing you can still have time to post during live shows
I’M SLUICING
Hehe first
hope we don't get a magmagate 2.0
OH MY GOSH THE EXCITEMENT!!!!! Aaaaaaaahhhhh!
WAH
Love you guys!
Don’t do that… don’t give me hope
Leather clad hero? 😳
This is maybe the best news.
YEAAAAAHHHHH
1st
Very nice 👍🏽
