Adventure Book Theatre: Goosebumps - Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter

Listening to this so late but must tell the story of when I was in 7th grade and given a zebra finch for secret santa at school (there is now a rule that nothing living can be given as a gift at that school) and his name was Rudolph cause he had a red beak. One day he got really cold in our house because his cage was in the mud room because my dog would attack it and he went all stiff and we thought he died, and my dad was waiting until morning to go bury him BUT like 7 hours later he started chirping and basically resurrected so then he was renamed Rudolph Jesus/RJ

Cake Herwitz: Origins

Relistening to the genesis of Cake Hurwitz while baking a chocolate cake. Feels like a momentous occasion for me.

Just cake for Jake, no pie for that guy.

Jake has concepts of a plan for cake

Guess you guys called the Boeing thing 🤷‍♂️

You can't make this shit up

I actually read this one as a kid. What a throwback

As someone who works for Boeing this was an absolute treat

Cake Birdwitz, anyone?

I was totally making my first cake from scratch when listening to this....

This series has made me want to start rereading goosebumps I found a copy of the first choice book they made to read which was 80s or 90s I think

Don't worry Caldwell I understood your one piece reference "we could form a rogue nation on the back of the elephant"

" "Maybe if she can see all of you, she'll know who you really are." -R.L. Stine" -Emily Axford

" "Maybe if she can see all of you, she'll know who you really are." -R.L. Stine" -Emily Axford

I must say that the consistent stream of "excuse me"s from Jake was top 10 naddpod bits for me. I just couldn't stop laughing

So I’ve been listening to old 8-bit book club as kind of a prequel to NADDPOD and there are several things that became NADDPOD staples that started as 8-bit book club things. Such as: - Caldwells love of collecting dads - Emily’s mispronunciation of “Jaina” - Ackerot and Bronzebeard - A love for page 69 - Applying DnD mechanics to non-DnD books - Emily’s love hate relationship with puzzles - Emily: “I would make my tits huge” - Rolling for horniness (Sonic) - Caldwell and Emily’s love of costumes - Fictional punishments for people who’ve wronged them - Stalagtite and stalagmite - Soul collecting via vehicles in hell (Twisted Metal) - Emily mentions “bringing people to the brink” - Talking about how they listen to video game music while working - Talking about “the light” (Kingdom Hearts) - Emily’s character liking to be naked (D&D monster madness) - Being confounded by simple math - Caldwell’s “creative” use of spells and abilities (ie, in “Monster Madness” Caldwell casts “detect thoughts” on a Sprite to get into their mind) - Rolling a lot of twos - Predator handshake - Caldwell: “we should start a Patreon so I can just draw for people on the subreddit” - mentions a character “keeping it tight” - The gang wonders what a wimple is - The Pendergreens voice - Caldwell love of halflings and hatred of gnomes - Emily wanting to be a Druid - Separating dwarves into Nobel houses - Caldwell mentions wanting to get a P.O. Box - Caldwell’s robot voice

Just noticed the tiny Jake. Lol.

I heard that Zunesha reference Caldwell

So excited for Cirque Du Soleil: The Gathering to come to my city so I can watch a Juggalo fight an elephant in person

Makes me so happy that Caldwell brings up Aladdin so much. It’s my fav childhood movie! I would have killed for an Iago!

I love their mad libs approach to these stories where they add a level of narrative to the story that makes absolutely no sense and gets increasingly baffling as they go. Also, I have thought about considering getting into cakes, would love to know if anyone else has been thinking about considering getting into cakes and how ones gets all the way to fully considering getting into cakes.

Was way more into the cake talk then the book hahahqh,

Excuse me, Murph

Okay but who puts peanut butter in the fridge???

also so sad that Caldwell's great Cakey Bird joke was passed over

EXPLAIN the 2 wisconsin and 1 Minnesota show -sincerely, a michigander (not close to Chicago either)

I'm so impressed with this 34 year old, they're juggling so many plates

OMG Emily I also had a parakeet that died on Christmas Eve! his name was Charlie and he was trying to squeeze through the bars of the cage to get to the tree so he can hang out in the tree but his neck got stuck. I was like six and since then no one of my family will ever get a real tree out of respect for Charlie

So excited that you guys finally got Jake on an 8-Bit Book Club!

According to the Goosebumps wiki I found (with intricate decision maps that show the good and bad endings) if you said you can’t do 5 pushups you just got a bad ending

I love all the 8 bit book clubs even if it is just torture for Murph sometimes.

Interesting timing that Murph mentioned RICO considering Trump was just charged under the RICO act in Georgia!

Growing up I loved goosebumps so much and I've actually read 2 of the choose your own scare books and this was one of the ones I had! I would love y'all are able to keep finding these, especially the genie in the coke can🥰🥰🥰

Guest star Jake "The Cake" Roberts (for all you wrestling fans)

I love these goosebumps 8 bit bookclubs. I'm so happy yall did another one.

When they said Jake's new nickname was Cake all I could think of was Adventure Time, LOL

Man this book was bad! Crazy how the goosebumps series can go from a high stakes romantic drama like the Brussels hookup to this

Fun bird fact! Seagulls can live to be up to 75 years old!

I love when short rest energy bleeds into the main feed. 😂🤣

R.I.P my first cat Crackers, lived a good life and made it past 20!

Talking about the garage fridge is the most reliable thing 😂

"How did you get perfect synchronicity for "That's old for a bird", and no one freaked out about that?

Whoa! Shout out to ESTONIA! Edit: Whoa! Second shout out to ESTONIA! Edit: THREE shout outs to Estonia! Edit: Really considering joining the Council of Elders again to make the 2-crew attempt to pronounce 'Uudishimulik the Baby Bronze Dragon' every week again.

I vaguely recall seeing this book in my youth, but the only one I remember reading is one where you have to escape from a haunted carnival. As a side note, this sent me into a Goosebumps/R.L. Stine wormhole, and turns out the guy wrote a AD&D storybook published by Marvel prior to Goosebumps. It’s called “The Forest of Enchantment” if anyone is curious.

It's cool to hear someone new on the pod. Good job Jim!

Pretending the main character is 35 years old is absolutely my favourite bit.

Ohhh Kay what am I about to listen to…?

I'm so glad you guys have kept doing these!!!

8 bit book club is my favourite type of post! It's great you could get a guest!

pre-listen, wondering if it’s possible for this goosebumps read-through to make me cry and laugh as much as the grandma one 🤞🤞

Jake's wrestler name is now Jake "The Cake" Herwitz

Is there any information on how long the october 7th show is? I'm 100% planning on going but it'd be super helpful (totally possible I'm a goof and just missed the info)

Hurwitz on an 8BBC episode? That is scary!

Oh my god is that THE Cake Hurwitz?

Love that these are becoming a trend!

I really hope Jake gets to be part of 8-Bit Book Club again. The one episode he was on was great!

hey i had this book! was hoping you guys would do more goosebumps adventure books because i had a ton of them but not the one from last 8bbc

How has it taken this long for Cake Hurwitz to happen

Highlight of my weeeeek 😊

I can’t wait to listen to Purple Peanut butter get absolutely razzed.

Is this the one Rachel dies in?

Gimme dem goose bumpies
