How fun would a LIVE 8-bit bookclub be? (w/ guest Jake Hurwitz)
Gabe and the PC grew up to be Levonte Worthy and HJ Wingstreet from city council of darkness, just vampires chasing that business rush
does caldwell think lasers cant be reflected through mirrors after the 90's? 😂
Emily is correct to shout it out - Dr Pepper Lip Smackers were the S Tier 90s lip product.
Classic, almost Tolstoyan, set up. Us, the young immature artist, clinging desperately onto the idealistic world of our youth, young love, our relationship with our grandma, overshadowed by Chuck, an aspiring lawyer, so corporate so detached from the raw adolescence we have, so well adjusted for the adult world, inheriting the firm from is father, his life so free of our human desperation, he’s faker but better at it And Ginny, the bridge between worlds, the ignorant and the arrogant, the chaos and the order , diligently studying and sifting through the kafkaesque madness of med school, earnestly hoping to help people
I can’t believe naddpod wrote challengers
My grandma wasn’t like this, but my grandpa’s sisters would gush about how handsome I was, give me big wet kisses on my cheeks, demand kisses back and pinch my cheeks. So yeah, it was a lot
My grandpa played video games with me and we had no rules it was sick.
Realizing it was never resolved why the parents called the train station to warn their son about danger...what did they know !!!!
So apparently the average diameter of a human eye is 29mm. The diameter of a ping pong ball is 40mm. So like… not that much bigger.
pretty wide margin idk
The best part of 8BB is how Murph seems to actually get a tiny bit frustrated then is won over as the crew just steers further away. Jake was a nice addition, surprised it took this long to get him on
i love how these are getting further and further off the rails the more Murph yes ands all the extra options they try to add on 🤣
One of the funniest 8bbs of all time
My grandma has a twin
This was so good! I think I will listen to it with my mother 😌
While driving to your grandma's funeral?
That one was so funny ;) thanks gang!
ABT is my favorite off week show by far. 1000x more fun than Dungeon court. Love it. A+. Keep up the good work.
Love the early DS mention
“Firm birks and a chafed button” 10/10
Hearing my hometown referenced repeatedly this episode was amazing lmao
Such a visceral episode, need more drama of 20-somethings to sustain life.
I actually worked at an art gallery in college so like, this was kind of perfect.
I absolutely loved purple peanut butter goosebumps as a kid.
Aww, I like the addition of Little Sister Emily to the story! And her doll eyes!
DIPSPIT!!
I laughed so fucking hard when I saw the top answer: https://www.quora.com/How-large-are-human-eyeballs
it was only a matter of time before the 8bit book club read a choose your own adventure that I actually read. so surreal. There is another good goosebumps one where you get stuck in a mad scientists labyrinth. But this one was my second favorite out of them!
As a young professional who was literally Ginny in college I love the call outs lol
The Ping Pong eyes!! The cover of this damn book and the description of the eyes has stuck with me since elementary school.
My grandma just SHOVED religious beliefs down my throat and told me I’d go to hell for sining…. I was like maybe 7 and I’m autistic 🙃
REQUEST: Could an exception to "intro free 2023" be made for Boobie Tanner please?
Seriously might be the best episode of podcasting ever created.
As a 518 kid I am living for these Skidmore College references 😂😂
Same. My husband works there, and I'm pretty sure they have bucket hats. I want to cosplay 😆
Lmao hearing Emily clown on my alma mater (skidmore 22 woot woot) made my day. Shout out upstate ny!!!
I’m class of ‘93, and they totally sound like ‘90s Skiddies…I assume Emily is clowning cause she’s from upstate?
HOLY SHIT THE NOSTALGIA IS THICC. I still have almost the entire Goosebumps choose your own adventure books and this one was one of the best (might be biased because it was the first one I got). The one specifically for some reason scared the poop outta me! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Getting off work and listening to my favorite podcast! Great
My fav podcasters reading my fav childhood series😁hope y’all enjoyed!
cool and fun episode! so cool to finally see jake on here!
“We’ve never fucking met her” 😂 this Josh guy is cracking me up, you should have him on again!
I’ve been debating on buying this nostalgic book series for awhile and of course my favorite podcast does one for fun. Awesome!
You guys need to play Parsley on Adventure Book Theatre. It's a table top Text Adventure, taking the form of a text parser adventure game from the 80's-90's. I think it would be a perfect fit and a ton of fun. https://www.technicalgrimoire.com/david/2019/11/parselyreview
When they were talking about 90s chic, I automatically thought of Dr.Pepper chapstick after lip gloss was mentioned. 🤣🤣🤣
I have visceral reactions to people remembering those soda "flavored" chopsticks. I had a sprite one as a kid 😅
firm birks and a chafed button for Hugh "Boobie" "Caldwell" Tanner
Jeff(?) was a great guest! If he plays D&D he’d be a really fun guest PC!
I can't believe they managed to get Jake as a guest!!
first time for everything
The goosebumps choose your own adventure books have some horrifying endings! There was one where a witch turns you to stone but you can see and hear your friends come look for you and then keep walking by while you can't do anything and are trapped like that forever. Many endings where you just die lol
"R.L. stands for Rail"- Emily Axford
Emily's laugh brings me so much joy.
So, as a 90's kid (96 specifically) my grandma wasn't ALWAYS embarrassing but sometimes she'd do things like do a little dance when she hears a song she likes in a grocery store or something. I am NOW embarrassed how she speaks about "poor people stores" and such when she doesn't spend her own money
Honestly my Grandmother received non-SSI, non-retirement, checks for years delivered to her house. She moved a lot. And often wouldn't talk about what she did for work as a young woman. She often would have well dressed visitors who would also drop off checks. I have for years mulled over the possibility that my Gma was some sort of retired FBI or CIA controller or something.
Hate to break it to you but your grandma was definitely a sugar baby
I haven’t even listened to it yet I just sat there reading the description going “ILY (I love you) GOOD TIME!” and went “huh must be a bit in the show” before I realized it was scarily…
I thought I was the only one lol. I was so confused
heeeeell yeaaaa
Kinda uncertain how a new personality will gel with the natural chemistry of the 8bit book club, I guess we'll see about this new guy
New daddy!
I thought this was gonna be a dungeon court didn't they call for cases a couple days ago?
Yeah I think it was this new guy they brought on. Not sure how adding a fourth will go if he's asking for cases on a non court week.
Newcomer? Idk about adding a new host this late in the game guys
He's just a guest it's fine.
hell yeah just saw the upload before work so now i can listen to this during my shift 🕺
