Book Club for Buddies

Book Club for Buddies

Jai Ashman and Simon Giacomin are two buddies that can read, but choose not to. Each week they talk shop, unwind, solve problems that they, themselves, created and have a ball. Several of them. At it's core, Book Club is a comedy podcast and absolutely no books were read in the making of it.

This week, the buddies take a page out of Mark Normand and Sam Morril's book and get a little wrecked before, during and after recording. It went good, which is a bad thing for their health.

 

Have a listen while Jai and Simon get into robots, Jack Doherty's arrest (haha, btw), and their sponsor challenges.

 

It's a wild one. Enjoy and tell a loved one x

There's way too many spiders in this episode. Well, there's seven, so maybe there is not enough. It's a fair bit though.

This week the buddies talk about the new season of Monster (terrible show but perfect impression to upset loved ones), Simon learns about a new powerful owl and Jai works out how he wants to go to going to prison. Hit that like button or whatever, the internet sucks.

Are you ready to rumble?  What about miniature rumble? Like a microscopic rumble?

If so, we have you covered. 

 

This week, the buddies get rowdy. Jai has returned from Japan, Simon discovered his new favourite obscure sport, Jai missed his big break, and they talk about the worst type of content to edit. Let's burn some books. Or not, whatever, we're just trying stuff out.
