Hello and welcome to book cheat, the book club podcast where I've read the book, so you don't have to.

My name is Davey Wannocky, and on each episode of this show, we look at one of the classics

and joined me to look at such a classic this week. It's Josh Earl and Beck Petrators. Yes. The dream team. We're here. The dream team. Back together. Every day I'm like, where's Josh? Where's my dreamist Tim? Apart from being a guest on mine, have we done podcasts together before? Surely we have

Yeah every day

We're the dream

We're releasing

The dream we're Apart from being a guest on mine, have we done podcasts together before?

Surely we have. Yeah, every day. Yes. We're the dream team. She don't release it. No, me and Josh just sit in this podcast studio. A series of pilots. Yeah, one day we'll release them, but they're just for us. Different concept every time. Yeah. Do you know how Radiohead said that we weren't going to release singles, we're just going to make music for us, but then I'd release albums. That's what Beck

and I are doing with podcasts. And everyone keeps going, it sounds like you're just yammering in a room. It's like, no, you don't get it. It's an art form. Like Radiohead, it's free on the internet for a little bit. Yeah. Then you got to pay. Yeah.

Then you got a fay.

Well, thanks so much for joining me on this podcast where I'm going to tell you about a book.

But I often start by asking, have you been reading anything lately?

Is there anything on the bedside table, on the shelf? Audio books absolutely included. I just finished the season by Nadine Gardner. Okay. So I think it's Nadine Gard uh, she followed her grandsons under 16's football team for a whole season. And it's a really good, and it don't even have to like football. It's just about this kind of like tribalism of Melbourne and this how people get really invested into like sport and community and all that kind of stuff. It's really good. I really, I really enjoyed it. I love that. That sounds lovely. Yeah, it's really nice one. What does the cover look like? Can I guess it's orange? No. Oh. No. I think I was guess green. Blue with some, uh, a photo of some kids. The backs of them though, no faces in football jumpers. Yeah, sick. Yeah. That's cool. I think that's really cool. Are you in a similar way, Josh? You're writing a show at the moment. That's why I read it. Oh, great. I was just wondering if it was just a passion as a moment. Well, Meg Yeager, when I talked about the show, she goes, oh, you should read this.

And then at the time I was busy working and writing.

And then I'm like, oh, I've got some time now.

I'll read that book.

And I'm so glad I did.

Yeah, it's great.

Well, let's quickly talk about the show because you're coming up.

You're doing it in August, I believe?

August 8.

Yeah.
