The Buddies dive into N. K. Jemisin Hugo Award Winning book, The Fifth Season. The Buddies found themselves once again playing stock market advisors, helping our fellow listeners buy or sell V8, unconventional relationship dynamics, and dramatic last lines. The Buddies also played dictionariers, defining pantomime (emphasis on the pant), fulcrum, and the many meanings of lip licking.
Alright, alright, alright, the buddies dive into Matthew McConaughey biography/self-help book/poetry collection. They once again chat about the importance of physical abuse, peeing on road trips, and speak to the younger audience about being in-touch with plants.
The Buddies discuss David Benioff’s City of Thieves. This amazing World War 2 novel had the buddies asking deep personal questions like, when is the last time they had a bowel movement, would they eat human meat, and if you’re actually “reading” an audiobook.
The Buddies discuss Neil Gaiman’s American Gods. They chat about P vs V consumption, go to orders at a diner, the sniff test, angel lust and ultimately if they’re actually smart enough to read/understand everything that went on in this epic book.
The Buddies read Andy Weir’s (author of The Martian) second book Artemis. They discuss ‘Ocean 11 crew coming together’ scenes, space vacations, uncomfortable sex puns, the ‘moral’ economics of smuggling and much more in this cathartic episode 6.
The buddies discuss Stephen Kings Novella (not short story) and dive into their favorite characters. They talk Good Will Hunting parallels (in their Boston accents), and the importance of cooking raw meat before it hits the danger zone. The buddies also touch on lighter topics such as physical abuse, the NRA, serial killers and projectile vomiting/shitting.
The buddies finish up The Hunting Party and discuss their past predications and feelings on the book. They take on the role of stock advisors, re-write the ending (they’re now authors) and discuss respecting women and fried egg nipples.
The buddies read the first half of The Hunting Party and discuss possible murderers and murderees. They dive deep into killer babies, British slang, red herrings (fish, not birds) and casting the the Hunting Party movie.
The Buddies discuss Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. They dive into what life would be like in the dystopian future, unlikeable character, Judi Dench vs Marisa Tomei, and how to effectively govern your totalitarianism society.
The inaugural episode covers Holes by Louis Sachar. The buddies discuss Stanley Yelnats parents, erroneous math(s), onion nutritional facts, shoe size discrepancies and reading between the lines when it comes to “pigs”.
