AD-FREE EPISODE FOR $5+ PATRONS!

The Book Buds are joined by special guest Zac Oyama and regular guest Jake Hurwitz for a viewing of the first episode of 1989's "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show;" a live action / animation hybrid television show chock full of pasta jokes, weird bird mouths and one incredibly eggcellent celebrity guest. Happy reading, Paisanos!

Anytime I come back to these years later there's always a bit that had completely left my mind, for some reason the sloppy party was very memorable, but I have zero memory of gack and floam ever being mentioned

For future reference @ 11:37 an attempt was made and that's all that matters

J for Just rate it already

Im crying at the contemporary Jake in the corner next to the absolutely fresh faced baby soft Murph on the cover image

David

Sup, first

Billie Ash

Jake's a great guest guys, have you considered bringing him on full time?

panpolypuff

I wish these were all titled "(w/ Jake Hurwitz)" 😂

Simp4EmilyAxford

Murphy and Emily immediately booked a trip to Italy after all the 'pasta and exploration' talk

TheTimePig

Love this guest guy Tucker's roommate, they should get him on more often.

Temedar

Aww no shout out for me 😭 probably my fault. Had to wait for my check.

jackalope503

Really cool of Zac to take Jake under his wing and show him the ropes

Nick Lerche

Guys . Bull terrier. Bullseye drawn on the bull terrier for target

Two Deers Beep

I love 8BB but I wish they’d release more sessions of the actual campaign so slow :/

Lindsay Resor

Is that a Todd from Mario reference I hear???

Jasmine Young

I'm going on a float trip tomorrow!

Two Deers Beep

I haven’t seen them actually say that unless I missed it but hopefully.

Irvin de la Rosa

Pretty sure A-J comes from scale of 1-10 with J being the tenth letter.

Kalaheo

Pizza Hut still sells Pizzones, I had to make them, they are alright, nothing special honestly

Ellen

Ya'll are gonna have me seeing if I can remember how to macrame, or rather, Zacrame.

Nesve Fowl

I love the little sticker of Jake in the corner of the 8-bit book club picture!

heavy harry

Naddpod was a ruse to get more book buds....you cheeky sweeties.

Grnt

I do hope that during the deep dive they come across the Lou albano(?) drug psa where he says “if you do drugs you go to hell before you die”

DowdMusic

Cant believe Caldwell didnt call that out

DowdMusic

Ohhhhh shit! Tease for next season of Dimension 20. Seems like Zach, Murph and Emily are playing - so the intrepid heros. Hope is it junior year of fantasy high!

Jessica Petra

I really hope they revisit this show and watch the one with Cyndi Lauper in it

Blair the bugblair barblairian

Oh man, if guests are allowed for 8-bit book clubs, then we absolutely need Ally back for Flinstones: Viva Rocks Vegas.

Faith Huisman

So I’ve been using restraint but I HAD to listen to a recent episode of some sort. I’m currently on episode 96 of the first Campaign. It’s taken me a long time and I’m so excited that there’s so much more to listen to! I’ve made my poor boyfriend and best friend listen to your podcast now, too lmao. (It’s ok they’re fans now ;) Love you guys so so much and so looking forward to the rest of the stories that I have yet to hear!!!

Dr.Bees

I just KNOW Caldwells laugh at “Todd” is because of Todd (from Mario)

Grass

TODD FROM MARIO

Reese Page

Oh boy! I can't wait to watch a napod episode of 8-BitBook club and enjoy my dinner

Av

how was ur dinner bro

Alan Ma

He looks like he's looking up in terror at three giant gods

Adah Kinzer

Todd would never have let the situation get THAT out of hand

evans-endeavors

Did the guest in the medicine cabinet remind anyone else of the Lima Bean Man video by Jack Stauber? Both are probably equally unsettling 😅

The Wizard Skoolie

Emily's "do we usually say something for these?" every time is 10/10 so great 😂

Winterbat

Emily preemptively shouting for everyone to stop before they jumped on her for the floamayama joke was hilarious. Gotta get ahead of the razzing

Chad B

love that you can find the full Mario episodes on YouTube. Watching it after listening to this episode is so funny 😂

Thomas Faulkner

Cmon dude I gotta know what was for dinner.

Axel Ottel

So glad they were acknowledging Todd (from Mario)

Kozak

Really hoping that Zac’s return means some Bahumia overlaps or….cool boy winter?

jaydee meowr

"just a dripping, milky sphincter" 🥰

Ken

Love that we finally got the drawfee crossover that no one but me was waiting for, and it’s Todd (from mario)

Sarah-Jane

Y’all made me google gak to realise it’s an actual product and not just slang for vomit...

bj cox

I love the special guest Jake, nice to have a new personality on the pod

bj cox

…..I really want to know about the dinner

Sara

This episode has EVERYTHING: multiple weird hypotheticals, Emily having a real Matt Hamill moment, Todd (from Mario)...

owen

This schedule is only for the summer

Nicole Jordan

With the hinting that she was going to a party and that’s all the info we got I really thought the joke would be it was her own birthday party and it would be funny how she forgot to mention it. Nothing could prepare me for a sloppy party. What a twist.

Tyler Foster

Is there any shot we can bring back the fanfic segment for the 8-Bit Book Club episodes?

A. Burns

"I need a gum graft" [flashes back to the three gum grafts I've had] squire jake, please, no

Joelle H

Watching Jake's status being stripped from him week after week gives me a sick pleasure that I don't think I'll ever understand... please.. never stop. It takes real strength to be razzed to this extent. I fucking love you jake.. if you ever move out of tuckers house, hit me up. 😉
