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

As someone who works for Boeing this was an absolute treat

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"

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.

Mushy

I heard that Zunesha reference Caldwell

Andrew Burgess

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

Jamie Matthews

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.

Connor

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

Declane Gilhooley

Excuse me, Murph

The Fun Yaunt

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

Stella

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

Ilana Galpert

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

Apple Slapple

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

Shane C

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

Glenn Dowdle

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🥰🥰🥰

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

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

Sean Flanagan

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

Merissa McClure

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

ACK

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?

Allen S

Whoa! Shout out to ESTONIA!

Martin Paluoja

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!

Sir Crits-A-Lott

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!!!

Tyler Gob

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

Mitchell Sigalas

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