We recorded these so long ago, and it really sucks to hear myself say, "Go Pack" every episode. What a terrible week it was, when they went out.
Anyways, who's ready to hear me complain more? This week, we have Kenneth along!

We did it everyone, Dune is here!
I really hope that everyone that watched it enjoyed it, I thought it was extremely worthwhile, and I could even see myself watching it again.
That's saying a lot for me, really.
Hiatus time. Please wait for us.
Go 'Stros.

Honestly, I have a lot more to say about the ALCS than I do about this book.
Can y'all believe we couldn't get anyone to give us more than three innings on the mound until Valdez decides to take 8 full innings to get near 100 pitches? Where was this attitude the rest of the series? Two wins in Boston holy shit did we need that.
And a travel day tomorrow! More rest!
We might make it, y'all.

Wow, I do not miss editing this podcast. Listening to yourself is a nightmare.
Anyways, how about them 'Stros? Five straight trips to the ALCS.
Paul does some stuff in the book.

Here it is friends, Dune.
It's odd to finally read a legendary space opera, and see the main character's name is Paul.
What do parents name their kids after in the future? Will Paul McCartney still be in the ZeitGeist?
Anyways, I want to do that subconscious-music-drug. Sounds dope.

WITCHERCAST IS BACK! For today, at least. More in December.
What an exciting, stupid movie this was. I'm so glad it exists. We need more risks out there. Too much media is too safe.

Alright let's get to fucking space, yo. Time for science fiction. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind over here. Sorry about the audio, I am an idiot, and somehow missed that the input was set to the computer's mic, and not the interface/actualfuckingrecordingequipment.

I am nervous about this episode. I have an extreme fear of sounding stupid and being wrong, and I know I did not give myself enough time to reacquaint with the material and its implications.
Anyways, Snowball is probably dead, right?

Hey we finished the book, mostly on time! And what a cliffhanger we get.
I told a really funny joke in a work group chat today and no one reacted, so that's how I'm doing right now.

Sorry about the episode being so late, I totally forgot to upload it after work, and then I watched Ocean's Eleven.
What a fun movie. Pretty dated, but the point of the movie still comes across and is fun.
Anyways, it's a pirates story now!

We're back! Thieves! Pirates! Vague magick! A near constant stream of 'ah's and 'er's in dialogue!
It's all here in the second entry of Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastards series, Red Seas Under Red Skies.
Let's go motherfuckers!

Hey so I was right, right? Auri is the best character? I know it.
Auri, then Devi.

Well, we did it. We read all that's available of The Kingkiller Chronicle. Mostly worth it, I think is the final sentiment.
From me, anyways.

Sorry for taking a week off, thing's just got so crazy. We're back though, and most of my opinions are still the same!
Really though, the secondary and tertiary characters are just so much more enjoyable.

I don't have any good, quippy jokes today. Sorry about it.
Severen is a kinda cool place though, huh?

The audio sucks this week. I am sorry.
Anyways, how are we not ALL into Devi??
SHE TAKES YOUR BLOOD, FOR GODS' SAKE.

Kvothe is gross about Denna, right? I'm not the only one?
Anyways, it'd be neat to be friends with a draccus, I think.

Ennealogy is what you call a nine-piece collection of works. I had to look that up after we recorded, it bothered me so much.
Anyways, obviously date the girl who loansharks your tuition and takes your blood as collateral. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT, PAT. WE WANT GIRLS THAT TAKE OUR BLOOD.
This episode was recorded the evening of 6.2.21.
Opening theme by Kenneth Garmon.

How are y'all pronouncing Kvothe? There's a bit where he tells us how to say it, but I have been saying [K'vahth] and Jordy says [Kevoath]. I think he's closer to it, probs.
Anyways, let's see what this series is all about.

Whoaaaa what a ride. Such a great, small story. I don't always need the most impossible stakes for a good time.
As with the previous Joan He novel, we are really excited for whatever is next.
Crazy, all that Flamin' Hot Cheetos stuff huh?

Opening theme by Kenneth Garmon.

Heyyyy it's finally here! Was everyone else as excited to get to Joan He's new novel as we were? Really though, I have been looking forward to it since we finished Descendant of the Crane back in...I don't know, ancient times. Before we had theme music.
Pre-pandemic.
When the world was young, and hopes and dreams still real.
Who am I kidding, I haven't had hopes or dreams for decades.
Anyways, Meridian is a pretty dope future-name. I like dope future-names.

I would have been better off being British, I think. Fits my sensibilities more. Ah, well.
Anyways, here's a totally planned and in no way serendipitous episode covering Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for it's 42nd anniversary! How delightful!

Alright, so we all want Tree Bae to kill us and then turn into a tree on  our hill, right? Like, that's the most romantic possible ending, right?
Well. I do.
Anyways, this book ruled. I had medium excitement for it going in, but  I'm leaving it with near maximum excitement. I hope everyone that read  along had a good time as well!

Yooooo when I first read the promo for this book I was definitely into it, and that's why I pitched it to Jordan, but now that I know there's TREE BAE, I AM 100% ABOUT THIS BOOK.
Sorry, author. I am sure you didn't write this story purely to give me Tree Bae, but that's what has happened.

The audio sucks. I couldn't fix it.

It's really late for me, and I need to go to sleep if I'm going to wake up on time for work tomorrow. No time for quip-ey shit in this description.
Anyways, I hope everyone enjoyed going through The Lord of the Rings. It is my favorite thing of all time.

Yo, the Stone of Erech sounds pretty dope right? I want one for the front yard.
Anyways, who else is crushing on Prince Imrahil? I always forget how cool he is. We stan Dol Amroth.

So, Tom Brady hasn't texted me back yet, and I'm kinda bummed about it. Doesn't he know I'm his number one fan?
To be fair, I'm actually a little more of a Rodgers fan. But don't tell Tom.
Anyways, GET HYPE FOR RETURN OF THE KING, Y'ALL.
gollum, gollum

Yo this might be the most exciting section of reading in the whole series! Subjective, I know, but it's just so engaging. I am so glad to be continuing on in The Lord of the Rings. We really hope y'all are as well.
Who else wants to be a tree??

Ok so I did like, no editing on this episode because it's so late, and I don't remember there being anything really worth editing out or cleaning up or anything. So. Sorry if that memory is wrong.
Anyways, hope everyone is excited about Frodo and shit.

HERE WE GO. This is lowkey the series I have been waiting for since we started fumbling through producing this podcast. LotR is literally in my flesh (see: my right forearm), and we are excited to share our experience with this impetus of fantasy with anyone willing to hear.
Also, I guess I'm supposed to be a Cardinals fan now? Not so bad, I suppose.

These episodes have been a lot of fun, but I have to say that I am glad to be moving on.
What a fucking crazy week last week was, huh? I hope everyone made it through alright. The weather is really gaslighting our trauma here in Central Texas, isn't it? Are we supposed to believe it never happened?

I really don't have much to say here, and I've got a beef roast that I need to go get cooking. Sorry if y'all were looking forward to my typical almost-clever anecdote for the week's episode description.
Anyways, how about Tom Brady? He's like, a living mythical hero, right??
This episode was recorded the evening of 2.9.21.
Opening theme by Kenneth Garmon.

Oh [person], have we got some stuff to say about this novel.
Mostly good, I think. It might not sound like that is the case, but as I was editing and thinking about it all, I think we are genuinely interested and engaged in this story. Even if it sounds negative, I promise we only have the best intentions here. Tough love, as it were.

I think this book will end up being one of my favorites; something that I will always reference to myself. I hope others enjoyed it even half as much as I did. There's something intangibly special about it, I think.
I'm pretty sure Jordan liked it a lot too.
There can't be Defensive Pass Interference if the pass was not catchable, by the way. Packers got robbed, fucking fight me.

Oh hey this is publishing on Inauguration Day...well...I hope all's well.
Anyways, what the hell is happening? In the book, I mean.

What a cool book. As Jordy was saying, this really makes me want to go through Evelyn Hardcastle again.
What the hell happened in Pittsburgh yesterday, huh?

It's a new year, and it's time for a new book. So long Harry Potter. So long intro-less podcast. So long any other arbitrary thing.
It's just a new year, people. Come on. We all know it doesn't get better.

The end of Nostfalgia, the end of happiness. Really, though, it was hard to leave Harry Potter. I was only partly joking the other week when I said we could just go through the series again, immediately.
Anyways, ready to finish off ol' Voldy?
This episode was recorded the evening of 12.30.20.

I DON'T WANT IT TO END. I WANT TO READ HARRY POTTER FOREVER. DON'T TAKE THIS AWAY FROM MEEEEEEE.
Anyways, I'm glad we got to see Luna for as long as we did. She's always such a joy to interact with.
Happy Holidays.

This episode might feel a little less clean in the edit, but that's because a data issue happened halfway through and I wasn't about to edit to the same degree a second time. Sorry about it.
Anyways, here we fucking go!!!!
This episode was recorded the evening of 12.15.20.

Oh, to be young and feel love's keen sting. Dumbledore had it right in the movie.
Anyways, I really love this book. I almost want to just read it again right now.
We're done with the remote recording after this one, so be ready for better sounding audio as we move into THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.
This episode was recorded the evening of 12.8.20.

Sorry we're late today, as you'll soon see, we had some unforeseen circumstances that delayed us.
Anyways, what's up with all the low-key flirting Hermione keeps doing with Harry?
This episode was recorded the evening of 12.1.20.

Here we are! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince! I remember this book blowing my idiot 14-year-old mind. Also, this is our 44th project according to our storage filing system, and 4 is my favorite number (making 44 my double favorite number).
Anyways, let's go brew some potions.

Michael CORNER, I remembered it partway through the episode but I didn't want to interrupt Jordy; anyways I know I was wrong about Ginny's boyfriend's name don't @ me.
We're through the worst of the trials, friends.
