Omg on my drive home from my friends from the bar! Perfect timing 💖

Senior Peon

GO TO SLEEP ITS TOO LATE FOR THIS

Alec

Nice

Faith Price

But it's wiiiiitch weeeeek

Kael McDonald

Yeah, fuck my sleep schedule! IT'S THE WITCHIN HOUR

Moss V

What a lovely treat!!! I will be adding backle to my vocab !!

Hungsparce

Does the spotify version get uploaded on Tuesday's as well? Not sure if I remember... *oop! Nope it's there now!

Jack1Spade Creations

What sin was Mike TV even supposed to be? Augustus is Gluttony Veruca is Greed Violet is Pride Mike is... Wrath? Lust? Envy? Sloth? None of those seem to be him... he seemed like he enjoyed tv, but he was thin, active, energetic, intelligent, outspoken....

Zachary Mullins

wrath, at least in the depp version. he was a little asshole

Giant Tom Hanks

Just checking, didn't Brennan say Hacea was 16 in that flashback? Or just that she was younger

Morgana Evenstar

The name "Mike TV' will forever make me think of the character from "ReBoot."

Jack1Spade Creations

oh yeah in Depp for sure. But in the original, he just seemed like a norma kid. The only time he seemed to act up is taking control of the machinery and commanding oompa loompas who... FOR SOME REASON, obey him?! Like, they didn't need to do that.

Sil

23:50 - you can hear Brennan editing a HELLA AMOUNT of spoilers from what he could say 😂

Sven the Scribe

Can I interest you in a Bucket O'Nothing?

Joanna S.

Ahoohoo, crackle crackle, I’m crying about the fox again!!

Beanz

I was thinking sloth, for sitting and zoning out.

lil guy

Roald Dahl just kinda hates children

Glen Petrofski

Okay, I thought Suvis low roll on intimidation as they entered the dinner was more about her garnering some form of respect from Grimore? Not really a failed intimidation check in the rollplay sense. Almost like Grimore took it as a show or honour/respect from the wizards.

TheloniousPunkyBrewster

Yeah the proverbial 'couch potato'. It may seem more normalized to us now, but just imagine how much more sedentary the whole species has become in the last 60 years

Jacob B.

Wrath is a good descriptor, I always thought sloth on account of him being glued to the television. Comparing him to wrath is giving heavy vibes from Harvester.

Kael McDonald

Now that Brennan has introduced crackle rhyming, there's a nonzero chance that one of Lou's many stand-ins will include Jensen Ackles

Kael McDonald

"Ohuhu, crackle crackle, it's ya boy, Jensen Ackles"

Glen Petrofski

I also need to know if the wizard Sly could have been Eursulons brother in law at one stage and WHEN THE HELL ARE THEY GPING TO USE THE STAR MAP IN THE LIBRARY!?!?!?!

Glen Petrofski

But he is already famous person so may not

Kael McDonald

Pardon my typo. I clearly meant to refer to famed Lou Wilson impersonator, Ensen Jackles

Monica Briggs

So glad Brennan and I share similar sentiments about Willy Wonka.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Still no comment on the banging noises while Suvi was in the library. I thought Indri had just come in the door. Now I am trying to remember if Suvi has left the library yet. No?

Bingus2277

Yeah like she'd almost be like "wheres the blood at?" If she had cleaned it off in the first place

worldsbeyondnumber

Hey Carrie, I listened back to that section and didnt hear anything out of place. Do you have a timestamp for the issue you’re experiencing? -t

Carrie Mook Bridgman

1:02:04 and 1:02:13, while the spider is recording the Eioghorain stars. Two noticeable bangs that didn't sound like part of the background music--but I guess they were.

Carrie Suzanne @ Petit Valais

Ooooooo, answering my question with a another loaded question. Maybe there’s power in not having a name, I can be cool with that!

Aabria Iyengar

It is nor paw, nor tail Nor vote, nor snoot, nor any other part belonging to a fox!

Emily C

This is such a lovely thing to wake up to on Tuesdays. Was the requirement of the geas that someone not of the citidel sing only on their own? Like if Suvi had sang, it wouldn't work? Or just that someone else has to sing in addition to her? Lol on imagining The Witch of the Wild Hunt doing conference type paperwork and admin, it's just bloody forms and maybe a heart left on a piece of animal skin. Like okay Grimoire, maybe you're on security duty for this con. The Antivellist!!! Is it Eoighorain? Is it some new citadel-hater? How long has the person been here? Are they being kept here or here of their own volition? Why not come to dinner?

MundaneBroth

Holy shit, I got my question answered! (The grimore diplomacy one) Definitely missed the whole transactional aspect of guaranteeing that they keep to themselves

Erik Hanson

Hoo hoo, crackle crackle, Brennan eats an almond snackle!

Carrie Mook Bridgman

I am sorry Dime couldn't be here for Eursulon. I was looking forward to his satisfaction over beating Heinrul in the drinking contest. Heinrul threw up; Eursulon didn't. Of course the end of the scene kinda overshadowed that small triumph.

worldsbeyondnumber

Ah, that is neither a bang, a door, or music, but the magic of the mirror spiders. -t

Sean Moelk

Ahoo hoo, crackle crackle, what a great talkbackle.

Julie

The discussion of letting the dice help dictate the world’s understanding of an event was just such a great insight into how to better shape thinking around storytelling

Adonis

Erika being a monster-fucker is so wonderful -- I finally feel represented in media 🥹

Ajax

Erika, I am less and less on board the longer this goes. The marking thing is going to be a conversation for therapy.

Ajax

You remind me of the babe.

nandrusin

The Chocolate factory movies always really scared and bothered me XD I agree with everything Brenan said

Dominic Corbin

I'd have to read the book again, but in the 70s movie he wouldn't stop watching TV even during his interview for winning his ticket. His parents described him as eating all his meals in front of the TV, and he would become rude if interrupted. He also inappropriately acted out the behaviors of his favorite Westerns. He disobeyed Gene Wilder's Wonka telling not to use the Wonkavision (of course Wonka barely tried to stop him). As I recall his mother is somewhat glad Mike is tiny because he will actually have to do as he is told for a change. Not sure how exactly that maps into a deadly sin, but it does map onto one of the 10 commandments

Dominic Corbin

Stars appear to track by name, so not having one may be an advantage

Dominic Corbin

Aabria has declared herself as well elsewhere. Their hold on Horner Corner is no accident.

Glen Petrofski

Humans mark their territory. It doesn't always involve peeing (though that still occurs).

Glen Petrofski

Aabria does want Arima to step on her

Fxd Gear Queer

Ooh, great guess on the Shapeshifter, that would be dope!

Glen Petrofski

I was so happy for Eursulon in that scene. He got to enjoy being a wild one with other wild ones. Lots of play, drink and now that he has reconnected with his it means so much more being able to as an adult.

Glen Petrofski

Someone not of the citadel. So Ame singing meets the requirement. It's even more fascinating to know that Erika and Lou did not know about it till after this chapter when they got to listen to the finished product on release.

Glen Petrofski

Can't be caught if there is no name to be caught by.

Glen Petrofski

To my I would have thought seeing Suvis removal of the blood as a form of satisfaction/sense of power.

Glen Petrofski

I am still holding out that it has. But again, I love her so much and she is still yet to do anything wrong in my eyes.

Glen Petrofski

I want the Antivellist to be someone like Suvis mother, but it could also be someone directly from the that group who have stayed hidden in something akin a pocket dimension which is why there haven't been any grumblings since the civil war/genocide.

Ajax

I *get* that... still gives me pause. At least more pause than it did.

Emily C

Crickety crackle, all this murder is whackle

samecontent

! Neurodivergent REQUEST ! ADHD'ing really hard lately. I've listened to the mirror box opening scene half a dozen times and my brain isn't taking in what's happening. It's just a lot, but I can take in info better reading? Would anybody be willing to break it down quick for me, please?

Glen Petrofski

When is there going to be Jennifer's Spaghetti Counter going to make it's appearance at the fireside? Or will it be something in the world?

Ale

I met the OG Mike TV tabling by himself at NY Comic Con when I was in middle school. I was dressed like walmart marty mcfly (macfly?) back when they were doing the back to the future anniversary thing. I went to rest my little feets and my dad was talking to this guy and he comes up to me like "come meet this guy im talking to its mike TV" I was still wigged out by the blueberry scene from the remake so it was kind of lost on me, but i went anyways cuz i still thought it was wicked morbid shit

Glen Petrofski

From my understanding, the mirror glass from inside the box created a spider that then created multiple scorpions that are going around collecting information from the witches library.

Glen Petrofski

I may have mixed up the situation of what the spider and the scorpion do, if so, swap that around.

Glen Petrofski

Also someone correct me if I'm wrong. ADHD brain over here too

lilgreenghoulie e

Do you think Mike Teevee was destined to love tv because of his name or is Teevee his nickname because he happens to enjoy watching it?

samecontent

Yes! Lol, yeah, the mechanics of the box opening and complexity of things really did it to me. Fantastic description, but brain is stuck in high gear when it needs to be on that high incline gear for this. 😸

Dominic Corbin

I went to find the transcript to link only to find the transcript isn't out yet, and should be on the Patreon when available

Ale

Nominative determinism

Palipal

I just realized that the presence of Lou directly correlates to the likelihood and intensity of chaos in a fireside chat episode.

WesKane

So when Brennan was talking about the fox and how his personality is not a people pleaser. It kinda reminded me of a combo of Suvi and Ursalon. The fun easy going side of Ursalon and the antisocial part of Suvi. I love over reading into things but I thought it was a fun thought. Great job guys, miss Lou's chaos.

Franco Muscellini

So about the beaded vail, it is common for godesses in african religions, don't know if that's where brennan got it from, but is really cool if he is moving for other kind of pantheons for inspiration.

thedragonllama

I just realized that the stars probably saw/heard Ame calling Indri a b-word lol tho I doubt she would bother looking up Ame records. I am also just glad Indri didn’t yeet Ame off that bridge, I was on edge about it the whole interaction.

bitterbaldguy

Brennan describing the Fox's view completely wrecked me, that's how I've been living my life... mind blown

Luke Hampshire

Erika is real about the sensuality of the hot tub and I stand by him ‼️‼️🫡

Fxd Gear Queer

I'm so happy the Fox seems to be becoming Brennan's comfort character. Like Aida, no filter necessary. Gotta feel good!

Evelina Meiklejohn

The other thing about the Fox is how Ame is being so poised and collected and diplomatic at the Conclave, so it makes sense that the social awkwardness would fall to the Fox. These characters are all so amazing and what they represent in each other as well as themselves. 💖 Ya'll are amazing.

Josh Neff

I wonder the same thing about the anime character Speed Racer.

Ariel

Hi, hello. I didn't understand what the word "Antibolist" meant? Tried to do a Google search, but nothing came up :/

Ariel

Thanks, so much! I thought it was a word I just didn't knew haha

Aussie Griffin

And lose her chance to have clean hands? I know the kind of person she's based off and so does Brennan. They NEVER lose their composure when they think a social win will be worth their patience. A.G.

anatsuno

I imagine I’m not the first to suggest this but I can’t read all the comments first: Aabria, if you want beaded fringes/veils and less sound issues, we can make textile beads happen!! Even give them enough weight to behave as other beads might, big or small! They could be sparkly! Everything is possible pls don’t give up on the dream! Side note ily all you’re wonderful keep on keeping on 🧡 scritches to the Fox 🦊 xoxo

Nathaniel Jernberg-Johnson

The Antivali are a group of Citadel ppl who didn't want to get sponsored by the Empire; they fought a war against the Accordati, who wanted to side with the Empire. The Accordati won. I'm assuming from latin roots that when they say "Antivalus" they mean "person from the Antivali." Though I could be wrong, I hope this helps :D

Ariel

No worries, thanks anyways!

bails 🌀 witch of the what the fuck

I know this arc has already been recorded so my saying this changes nothing, but where is that copy of Stars of the Southern Skies? I can’t stop thinking about it since they introduced the library!!! 🫨

Crickadeekat

Genuinely curious about the fact that the other witches DEFINITELY don’t have CR 0 familiars as is written in the playtestable witch class. Can witches sort of “level up” their familiars at some point in the WBN universe? Why did they choose to deviate from the class description for the other witches? Also also, Brennan mentions that the coven does not represent the sum total of witchcraft—will we ever learn about other witches in Umora? If common folk know about witches, it can’t just be because of these 5 individuals. Who are the other witches??

Skruffey

Shout-out to the FO-O-O-O-OX!!!!!

Molly Rose Fargeorge

Why is it that the Witch of the Wind and Stars can only see things happening at night? Why can't she use the sun's vantage point?

nightyorb

“Wait, is there a drag show later” went way too under the radar

Abigail W

I’m so glad they explained “antivolean/antivolist/antivolee” (sp?) person. While listening, I had a moment where if others had been around I would have had to be like “what just happened? That is clearly important, but why!”

Abigail W

So thankful for you and the wiki page. Some of us are very bad at remembering lore 🙋🏾‍♀️

Ashley Teatum

I need to marinate more on the interaction between Ame and Indri. There's so much there and I can't pick it apart 👀

Chad Asher

I'd say that it's the same reason a Doctor and a Dentist do different work, not because the teeth aren't a part of the body, but because someone else already has that market cornered. I.e The Dawnfather

Ezra

I SCREAMED and SPRINTED for the patreon at the end of this episode hot damn, I love this show

Sil

I'd love to know the answer to this one as well from a Witchcraft IN THIS WORLD (caps b/c no italics available) perspective, which might be different from how various strains of Witchcraft in this world do. This said though, I didn't think the scene with the parents and Rasper... I mean Eoighran in Gavriel was necessarily at night.

Olive_NQaKa

Ame saying "bitch" was heavy ! I was gagged.

Olive_NQaKa

In the description of the remix's post

DaphneDawn

My guess it that by fairytale/ fey logic the sun and the stars are fundamentally different

Sam Edgar

I'm relistening to the whole pod almost immediately after finishing book 1 and I need taylor to release the sounds of this story the heores return is my fav track for sure but the witches theme is also high up there

Carlos Torres

Wait… Didn’t Brennan say that Hakea was like 16 in that vision? And now we’re asking how hot she was? Guuuuuuuuuyyyyssss…. 👀

J. Gro

I had to go back to the dinner and relisten. Even then, I was still a little confused.

J. Gro

Also, it was in her head to Fox!
