Comments

TomBlue8

Aw hell yeah, gonna listen to that right after my exam in half an hour 🫠

Hita Asodia

Yippieeeeee it’s here!!!!!

Sofia marcelli

Love you guys so much cannot WAIT to listen to this!

Jenn Putnam

*Meme of foaming mouth guy from ATLA*

WWMSudoku

first off, ahoo hoo crackle crackle second off, reporting in as an australian who lives in rural enough regions, driving to work having to dodge kangaroos as they jump out of nowhere and jump back into nowhere like an omnipotent angel of insurance claims is very real i do like describing them as "fucked rats" instead of "big dogs"

Sean Fett

Hey! Why y'all make me cry so much!?

Ted Collins

I should have been prepared for an 8 minute discussion about the nature of Kool-Aid

Rafi

The name spelling bit will never get old

Alyssa

Ahoo hoo crackle crackle! Tuesdays are the only day I wish my commute was longer so I could actually listen to the whole podcast! 💜

Paris

this is so perfect to distract me from anxiety going to the first day of my new job!

Alesha S.

Good luck! Hope it goes well.

Garrett MacFalda

Does anybody else have this before the Battle of 12 Brooks ep2? My Patreon app and my podcast app both don't have part 2 but the fireside already downloaded.

Alyssa

“THOSE BROOKS BABBLE, MY GUY!” ✨snitches✨ “Citadel crash out tok has gotta be fucking insane” ☄️BRUH☄️

Lazarus0024

Eursolon: Tinder of Secrets

Eddie

i'm from europe and did not know what the kool aid man looks like and this made me google it and honestly? really not what i expected

Cody Zimmer

Lou, I need you to make it to 50 fireside episodes with the bit and then drop it hahaha

Amphiby

This being the fireside episode to make Lou almost drop the bit says everything you need to know about The Battle of Twelve Brooks honestly

Manifesting Good Posture

1/3 of the way through - Brennan, in a cadence reserved for moments of tenderness and peace: "we then get to this wonderful moment of - the Kool-Aid man through a wall" The cadence with which he said 'the Kool-Aid man' will live in my head forever.

Cody Zimmer

I love how you guys are doing something I was told wasn't a thing or couldn't be done. Collaborative storytelling, but more than that, collaboratively writing such a complex story together.

Cody Zimmer

Anyway, thank you all so much for opening the doors to something I couldn't even find the handle to at that point in my life.

Rafi

Tbh I could listen to Lou and Aabria talk for hours about tying their black experiences to their characters in these dnd spaces. It always means a lot to me as a black fantasy fan

Brandon Brewer

Speaking as a man from The Deep South, you can absolutely say "GO'ONGIT" as a single word for Power Word: Skedaddle.

Clockworkjohnny

" we have six more episodes in book 1" Excuse me... what? WHAT!?!?

Lynn O'Reilly

Ahahaha Aabria voicing the two things that sprang to mind about statues - first the Balto statue (which I saw for the first time when visiting NY last month), and also the Hachikō statue in Shibuya! But also as a Dubliner, my mind whispered "the poor Molly Malone statue", who even when she the rest of her was restored to her original colour, they left the places tourists had touched her alone to preserve those gold marks 😓 Lo and behold Aabria, same brain cell! Recently people did a whole "Leave Molly mAlone" thing, thank god.

Lax

we ABSOLUTELY need Citadel: Shark Tank and Citadel: Slutty Couture bone cone

ScoutHooligan

Almost 10 minutes of Kool aid man anatomy. This is why I'm screaming at my wife that she needs to sub to the fireside

Ian Beattie

Citadel shark tank NNOOWWWWW.

ScoutHooligan

Suvi: "hit 'em. It's fine, and dare I say, warranted."

ScoutHooligan

Fun statue fact: there's also a grave of a man who was 'fertile' and his visage is worn/discolored on his crotch and his lips from people hoping for fertility or for *skills* in bed.

Jonathan

"We need a treasure room for the spell to work" is actually a pretty good reason for there to be a treasure room, as far as these things go. Which isn't saying much. "The leyline configuration meant that the material components must be concentrated in a single location to keep the ritual from being unbalanced."

Joyalina David

Part 2 dropped last week! My patreon says it was 6 days ago

Lauren

*covers my eyes so the conversation about the Blackness of Suvi and Eursalon's stories can continue*

Lauren

Hate to be the bearer of worse news but there is a statue of a woman whose breast are perfectly shined her name is Molly Malone

One Punch Max

Wait there are more episodes but this was the last thing you recorded? I don't get it.

Izer

Brennan following up on the frog statue from Bracken AND Sworn casting Hold Person on Suvi SUBCONSCIOUSLY makes me reconsider how certain characters will remember events wholly different lol.

Ellis

This was the last thing they recorded during that camp visit. they went BACK to camp to record the last 6 episodes that are coming up

Ellis

I immediately thought of Molly

Sea Moose

“I LIKE HIM DIFFERENT” Pause

Garrett MacFalda

I've been waiting! I found it by downloading the public feed as well as the Patreon feed on my podcast app. I still don't see it in Patreon but I finally listened just now. Incredible!

Emily C

Fox drop!!! I got me one of them pre-orders. I will ... NOT be jumping out of a window. The tongue sleeve/tongue condom part was WILD, but I mean dental dama are a thing, so maybe it's a fancy gold foil one of those? I gotta think they solve the hydration part because dry mouth sounds like a potential issue. I forgot that the children of the Grenou evolved into a quest based on Eursulon. That felt planned in advance to me. What does The Battle of Twelve Brooks look like if the trio just rock up to the city?

Virtual Spaceman

Can we talk about how cute that kangaroo is tho?

BexXZilla

I ordered my fox and I'm so excited 😆 I loved this episode so much

Byshera Williams

It's the last one they recorded at camp. The recorded the next six months later.

Rachael

I could just listen to an entire episode of you four talking about the Kool-aid man and what words would be fun to turn into verbs. 😂

Lynn O'Reilly

The wicked riffing in this fireside killed me ahahahaha, aa-a-AAAAah-aaah! I fuckin cried and cheered at the end of the episode <3

Chris

The Kool-aid Man is Christ like 🤣 "OH Yeah Drink of Me and Quench Thy Thirst!"

TPK_light

There's also one of Shakespeare's Juliet in Verona that looks like she's wearing a gold top for similar reasons 😔

Sea Moose

Instructions unclear, I have defenestrated myself and I have a broom in a very uncomfortable position

Shiney New DM

"TAYLOR!!" After that shout out A Taylor, I was almost expecting him to come on and say, "Sorry, I'll tone down my incredibly awesome talent next time."

ChosenOfAeterna

Tongue sleeve was my nickname in college

flyingwriter

I would 100% order a tongue restraint … like damn right on point Erika. Thank you all for doing this podcast, it brings light and joy into my life every week. Y’all are incredible.

flyingwriter

💯 I seriously hope this becomes a bone cone episode.

Tara

When the art book comes out in ten years, I would love for all these notes to be on the page of the wizard tongue trap ✨️ a-hoo-hoo crackle crackle!

flyingwriter

I’m sure you killed it! 👏🏻👍🏻💕

Hostage4hire

i am BEGGING for that wizard shark tank bit for a whole ep

I Davis

"He is here to serve his blood" man kool-aid man lore is allllll coming to light

Magnolia Eve

I remember the dog statue is either Rome or Florence, his nose is all shiny

Nick

Ok hear me out! Archmagi shark tank BUT you take patreon submissions (kinda similar to tortle tank from NADDPOD?) Let your fellow citadel wizards help lend our minds to benefit the collective! -the Wizard Support

Maximillian Petersen

Brennan describing the kids as cheese in a mouse trap after the mouse has been caught have me such chills

Emily Janecdotes

The examples of statues where you can see where they've been rubbed are mostly so sweet, meanwhile I'm like "ah, like Molly Malone's boobs in Dublin or Aslan's dick in Belfast". (Yes, there is a statue of Alsan fully erect in the C. S. Lewis sculpture garden in East Belfast)

Anthony Giorgio

@Brennan you were looking for “metonymy”

NickSavage Eursulon’s Brother in arms

Exactly i immediately thought of NADDPOD and tortle tank I’d love to see more of them just having fun like in the games Lou makes. More content in general because everyone they do is gold 💯

Jonah

I love whenever my country is mentioned I didn’t even know we had our own shark tank 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Cody Hasselbring

When my man Brennan said that the reward for starting the path is not necessarily to see it, I was like yes yes yes Brennan I love it, and I too love Luthen Rael ❤️

Ryan Alford

I had the entirely opposite yet disturbing mental image. I thought it was a solid gold tongue that was put in Suvi's mouth.

Bryan

WBN brand mouth centered BDSM merch would be bonkers to say the least

Anna Wagner

We could absolutely have longer fireside chats every time!!

Finn Sparger

Harder for mages to cast spells against you if their hands are pinned and you’re making out sloppy style. Just saying.

Sam LeCain

Please do a shark tank episode. Murph and Emily do tortle tank on Naddpod and I would love to see that energy here. Also invite Murph and Emily. (Sorry Jake and Caldwell)

Brandon Carbaugh

The Kool-Aid Man is the pitcher. The substance within his carafe is simply a byproduct he secretes. If emptied, he just makes more in roughly 22 hours.

Vaheniem

ANTONOMASIA ALMOST MENTION WHOOP WHOOP It's the rhetoric process to use a proper name as a common one (like, oooh this guy is a real apollo so sexy) or, "I'm a cassandra"

Katie Roberts

The Molly Malone statue was exactly my thought

bitterbaldguy

I want a Fox but you don't ship to military addresses?

Chantalleke

Im sorry, did Knuch just say that Eursulon is no longer wayshadowed??? When did that happen? When he became a spirit of something?? It makes sense, im just surprised

TomBlue8

Thank you! It went very well 😁

Wondering wonder

Same, pretty much. I imagined it as just a light tongue shaped piece of metal that just sits in the mouth and works its magic. That is less heinous to my imagination that the whole tongue condom fiasco, so I'm sticking with it!

Emily C

If you deplete the Kool aid then isn't he just The Man

Stiltpuppy

Same here, i was just imagining a magical tongue-shaped ball gag essentially.

The Spirit of Vicious Inspiration

I should have started a pool for if/when someone in a fireside mentioned Sinners, with a side-bet on if Brennan launched into one of the Irish songs when mentioned. knew it was coming eventually lol

Bee.Beans

Greyfriar's Bobby mentioned! What a good boy with a very polished booper.

Wondering wonder

Definitely feels like nowhere near enough at this point!

mguin

I mean, you know we watch odd/wild YT stuff too. Did I watch a man build a cantilevered tool box from wood, completely from scratch, for no real reason? Most of it, yeah. The physics of a Pringle for the mage-mouth-lock makes sense to me - you just can't open your mouth. Makes me wonder if you could sidestep that with a recording somehow, if a mage supplied the movement & it was their voice recorded.

Zoop

Using a noun (proper or otherwise) as a verb is officially called denominalization but I’ve also heard it casually referred to as “verbing” which I think is pretty fun!

Jordan Marschke

The entity formerly known as Lou should start taking random patreon names!

The Wizard Sweven

Hey fam where’s the DFTBA link for the golden tongue condom?

Gabriel Cole-Brant

Humans touching statues creating shined areas is called “statue rubbing.” There are tons of example both creepy and cute. My favorite is the bulls balls on wall street

Emma41420

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned by anyone else, but I truly love the diversity of naming + naming as representative of power throughout this campaign-- especially in the realm of world-building with NPCs. For example, the wizard masquerading as a Heron spirit being named Kohar! I obviously can't know if it was intentional, however there is actually an imperial connotation to that name among Armenian & Persian communities. Although the literal translation is usually descriptive of precious gemstones, the word is also figuratively representive of someone or something that dazzles like jewels of a crown-- for example, a charismatic personality that seduces you like rare treasure☆~ 🤔

Eden

OMG SINNERS TYPE ONE SHOT PLEASEEE🙏🏾

CarpeBootium

I needed “Lemme get some of that, Big Dawg” for so many Communion Sundays

Prof_Bahamut

I can't get tongue condom out of my head

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Not just that it's a marathon, not a sprint. Not even that you're planting trees whose fruit you will never eat. Your reward for starting down the path to a new world is for all the powers of nightmare to gather against you. Do I have the courage to start walking anyway?

Beanedict Cumbfurbatch

Re: Aabria’s mention of a Molly Pitcher statue in Boston: As someone from the area, I’m not familiar with a Molly Pitcher statue here, but I think she may be mixing together the Harvard statue in Cambridge (a city that borders Boston), whose toe people rub for good luck, and the Molly Malone statue in Dublin (which merely borders Boston’s vibes), whose boobs people rub because they suck.

Kit

ARCANE TONGUE CAGES WHEN

Jaxson Denton

In his conversation with the man in black before the battle started. He leveled up to Level 5 and became a Spirit of Freedom

Maddie Clark

The description of Steele looking at Suvi the way you look at someone who's been ill - I CANNOT get that out of my head. It's just a knife in my heart that keeps twisting.

Kellie O Edwards

NO LONGER WAYSHADOWED SAY *WHAAAAAT*?!????!!

K Guard

Brennan, I need you to understand that I may need to get, "the reward for beginning the journey to the better world is not the better world" as a tattoo

virginia

Give us the WWW x NADDPOD Tortle Tank crossover!! I wanna hear some freaky citadel artificers pitch unspeakable artifacts to the Tortles!

Amphiby

‘It was always going to be this way’ I think this is more than i could have hoped for in an answer and now I’m crying too thank you 😭

Morgana Evenstar

I am not an expert in mascotial phisiology (bombed the lab practical), but I recall them showing that the Koolaid Man is just the pitcher, the liquid he contains is just for adornment. It's kinda of like reverse clothes, like kidney socks or a spleen girdle.

g0dfath4

where are the patrons questions

Anita Brown

I've ordered my fox! It'll show up in time for my birthday!!!!

Ickle Tayto

For unfortunate statues - see Molly Malone in Dublin

Zanna

My question at the end of the fabulously fun Episode 48 was "Where is Task?" and when Brennan tried to answer it, y'all shut him down! So I must now spend another week telling myself "Task is in Ame's satchel, with the fox. Of course! Don't worry."

Nathan Armstrong

Damnit. I love this show and these good people so fucking much! Right at the end of this Fireside, Brennan is talking about Ame’s big moment of a godsdamned witch grabbing a broom and taking to the sky just made me cry. They got me y’all.

Nathan Armstrong

Yeah, but, that’s not Lou. Lou does not make it to the Fireside. All them dudes just sound remarkably alike.

Nathan Armstrong

Absolutely PSYCHED about space adventures helmed by Aabria, but I agree. 6 more eps is not enough for these characters (I get that it’s just for now, but still…).

Nathan Armstrong

Actually shocked that Brennan of all people did not know this word

Denise

THERE WE GO, THANK YOU BRENNAN THAT'S THE DEFYING GRAVITY YODEL I WANTED

Christina Eichorn

Aabria! I follow Dasia on TikTok too! Gotta pay that gravity bill!

C. A. Whyse

Happy (belated?) birthday, Aabria!!

Brendan

This campaign had been banger after banger, but this episode was the one that finally drove me to tears.

Clockworkjohnny

I honestly thought this two-parter was the finale.

Erika Abbas Hanna

The one in Boston is the plaque dedicated to the first female student at MIT Ellen Swallows Richard. And yes, it’s just a bust, so the polished parts are NOT her feet.

Lexie Jones

YES! 🎶🎵🎶ooh-OoOooOOOooOOOOOH🎵🎶🎵

Kevin Ackermann

When Brennan started singing "The Rocky Road to Dublin" my Irish side activated and I had to sing the rest of the song

HaveyoueverseenaLlama

Intro hits and reveals that Erika is in Japan, and all my dumb brain does is fixate on "Oh! That's the country where *I* am!" Lol.

Jazz

Niece (sp?) is about to trial by fire her way out of anxiety and people pleasing but like also she's still a kid and how WONDERFUL (I say crying) that she will now get to be around a ton and Eursolon 🥹 I'm genuinely so happy for her. She deserves PLAY.

🐧lost penguin familiar

For those who don't know: Naddpod has DND Shark Tank, Tortle Tank. There's 11 episodes of that. If you like that then you gotta binge all the DnD Court! It's SO FUNNY!

Manifesting Good Posture

That got me. They're all so good at this, and today it was Aabria who got me. Just effortless.

Sil

Aight, lock and load. I have a select group of topics I know I can speak on. Australian media. Brennan, I think you'd love "Gruen"; Wil Anderson is a national treasure. Erika, "Would I lie to you?" Aabria, "The Weekly" with Charlie Pickering is comedy and often chats on political stuff. Lou, I'm not so confident in this rec, but you've mentioned history channel et al, but Ninagaloo Nyinggulu (first nations name for a region of reef, a documentary out of Western AU). And for Taylor with his union organiser background, but also everyone, because comrades, "Whitlam; The Power and the Passion" and "Bob Hawke; the Larrikin and The Leader." Both men helped us realise legislated public healthcare.

Sil

I love that it's a best seller 😂

Spencer Bloom

I now need Tortle Tank: Umora Edition.

Madeline Salter

There will be multiple books of WWW tho, right?

Robert Summerous

This discussion on koolaid man is absolutely hilarious!

Jayfeather

can’t believe lou finally broke after 46 episodes

Spencer Bloom

And now I’m crying in public hearing them talk about Ame’s level up.

Blades Dragonic

I would 100% buy a WBN gold tongue condom but only if the cast sign it

Cade Frieden

I came specifically to post this as well.

Bj

When your name is Brody and you’re Australian 🫠🫠🫠

kragonaught

I was so excited that brennan acknowledged my question I had to call someone

SBTrees

Gotta love a little extra horner corner in the comments section. 😂

SBTrees

I only know the gravity bill comment from Calvin and Hobbs!

SBTrees

I have a lot of questions around non-speaking individuals and what workarounds might be possible if they were to become wizards.

Elise

I think the openings for both parts of the Battle of Twelve Brooks just shows how absolutely Taylor is a part of crafting this story beyond the editing and music. Such fantastic instinct for story in those amazing calls. This story and this team wouldn’t be the same without him 💚 we are blessed by all your efforts!

Michael Anaya

This was a fantastic episode and a great discussion. The talk about Ursulon's arc that we see reminded me of a quote from an old internet post, something like "So anyway, I think you grow up to become someone who would have saved you back then, when you needed it most". Great work y'all.

Esther Bee

you’ve been clocked

Esther Bee

kidney socks and spleen girdle!!!!!!! added to the vocab

Sophie

The anxiety I felt during the episode wondering where Fox was when Ame jumped on the broom, before his head popped out… and I didn’t even think to worry about where Task was 😫

Trond Krüger

Speaking of bronze statues. We have a Davidian esque statue in my hometown, and literally the only shiny bits are his pecker and danglies.

Muadwho

Good job Aabria. You have now dubbed yourselves "The Triumphs"

Carrie Mook Bridgman

But where was it said that that meant he was no longer wayshadowed?

Just a Fox

Kool-Aid Man is clearly an Ooze piloting a super-sturdy glass body like a mech, I don't know how you all are not getting this

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Where could I find these--especially the last two--in the U.S.A.?

Carrie Mook Bridgman

alamy.com/comp/2A5C0MY/molly-malone-statue-dublin-city-ireland-2A5C0MY.jpg

Muadwho

I can almost guarantee that person's friend thought you were studying for a bit Brennan

CW

According to lore, the Kool Aid man is a Humanoid Translucent Pitcher. The Kool aid is added as a choice, not blood or any other fluid

CW

Accurate, i second this name

CW

As a bard attuned to a +1 Thumb Piano, it does increase my CHA in music production encounters, so not bad

Cabbage

Sorry where do we pre-order the golden scolds bridle?

sabertruth19

So appreciate the naddpod links to tongue condoms and tortle tank-intentional or not. And I was starting to be caught up on my podcasts, so thanks for reminding me of County Affair, definitely now going to relisten to that and Space Cram to revel in some of that energy.❤️

Blüe

I imagined the tongue as a tongue sculpture you put inside the mouth like a ball gag with a shape. Seems easier to get it in, and same rough effect(?)

Baddakid

On the topic of rubbing statues. Victor Noir a French journalist has the scene of his murder in bronze on his grave. His penis has been rubbed shiny, it’s said to bring good luck.

Adam D.

greyfriars bobby mentioned!!!!!

KitsudeRose

I am still very stuck on the memory thing from the gathering of the coven. I am curious if non wizard magic could reverse that and what that would do to Steel... how involved is she in the murders of her friends and how aware of that involvement is she? This question has been eating me

Jordan T. Maxwell

Shout outs to Wicked AND Sinners? I feel so seen...

PjandEthan

I genuinely used the word "giyut" for command in a home game where I played an Appalachian firbolg

Joshua Arft

I need the shark tank bone cone

Adrestia

I *need* a wizards notebook with a Task magnetic bookmark.

Chantalleke

Yea, it wasnt, but it DOES make sense. Gaining access to his subclass features means he has full access to his breath, releasing him from being wayshadowed. I jsut hadnt thought about it and was a lil surprised when Lou mentioned it so casually

Andreshmandre

I definitely need Citadel Shark Tank

Elise Grabda

So I’ve been seeing video clips from these fireside’s in TikToks. How can we watch those? Or are those only BTS clips?

DaddyDepresso

Straight up A County Affair and Space Cram are some of the funniest content I've ever seen. And I'm a standup comedy nerd these beautiful people are PEAK

xatlern

My alma mater also has a statue that gets rubbed. The UMD Testudo statue has a very shiny nose because it's considered good luck to rub it as you pass by. People also offer sacrifices to it during finals week.

Sage deGaia

There is a polished dog statue where I live also, their name is Cassie

Warlock

I love Imperial Shark Tank please do it. Brennan could play the Arch Magi(plural), players are the Artificers

Sil

Australia's ABC iview app has all of these, and app is on Play/Apple for free. To my knowledge, available for sign up worldwide 😁 long live public broadcasting!

jbfcorreia

AABRIA don't test me. I have a broom, a fox plushie pre-order, a 7th story balcony, and a weak grasp of reality, I'LL FRIGGIN DO IT, don't test me. ♥️♥️♥️

Musings of a Political Creative

The Juliet statue on a balcony in Verona that faces the Verona Theatre has a very shiny chest because the myth is that if your touch her breasts you would have long life and good luck while in Verona.

Joe W

The Koolaid Man is a single celled organism I guess.

Jaz

WI👏ZARD👏SHARK👏TANK👏

The Wizard Solemn

Please I NEED tongue condoms and Citadel shark tank PRONTO

bluebluebutton

There's a similar Juliet on the street in Munich too, near the Rathaus Glockenspiel.

Sascha

I can’t not mention the balls of horse statues (for good luck)

Aneta

I would've done the same as the quiet plane person next to Brennan and let them enjoy the flight while internally squeeeing the whole time. Basically did that in NYC seeing Aabria live at the D&D shows in Feb.

Peasant Tidal Holder

IM THE ONE WHO POSTED ABOUT LOU WILSON’S ROAR MAKING ME GO TO THE GYM!!! AAHHHH SENPAI NOTICED ME!!!!

Sammy Howell

See, I'm picturing some Wheel of Time contraption.. tongue condom is WIIILLLLDDDDD

Maya B

Go on Tortle Tank as the Wizards of the Citadel - the most unhinged crossover

Bingus2277

Kool-aid man Is Christlike

Kyle Watkins

Does anyone else get weirdly emotional listening to these fireside’s? Like if I can be a part of something creative a quarter as special as this podcast is to its listeners AND its creators, I’ll feel like I’ve accomplished what I want out of this world. This story is special, and the craft and care that is put into telling the story is CERTAINLY received.

Jessie Christiansen

Okay apologies for the density of the question but - WILL THERE BE A BATTLE OF TWELVE BROOKS PART 3?? Is that it for chapter five? Was that the last chapter of the book?? They couldn't possibly leave us hanging like that, could they? COULD THEY?!?

warriorsmurf

The Shark Tank thing is, unfortunately, so relatable.

Maggie Dunn

There’s a few more episodes before the end of the book!

Jessie Christiansen

Thank you! Somehow I had it in my mind that these were the last episodes and I was aghast.

Ted Meredith

'Shark Tank' for Archmages: 'Arch Tank'

Ted Meredith

(I would also accept a variation on the British origin show 'Dragon's Lair,' called simply 'Lair Action' which I assume would focus almost exclusively on elaborate dungeon traps and mechanisms for boss battles)

Evan J. Miller

Constant warning: description of sexual acts. There is a monument on a grave somewhere in France, my brain is telling me it might be Victor Hugo, but I think I’m wrong, cause it would make too much sense. It’s a metal statue of some kind of the person whose grave it is lying on their back. It is apparently pretty common practice for people who have vaginas to rub themselves on the statue space, and so it has a a similar gleam. Also, not 100% certain this is true. I’m pulling it out of the back of my brain and don’t feel like googling.

Evan J. Miller

When was the first time Sworn cast hold person on Suvi?

Andrés

6 more episodes left!

Wizard Shenanigans

Not going to lie, when Brennan was describing the tongue-gag my brain went straight to a full golden tongue, like Suvi was being french-kiss-silenced. 👅

Vaheniem

Well I do think he knows it, just momently forgot it happens

Whale in a Tree Comix

Love this story and these storytellers! And it feels strange not to name names and the direct connection to whats happening to Palestine, or the Congo, or Sudan. Or even the immigrant kids being held in America. Free them all ❤️ ❤️❤️

mossymi

in act 3 to keep her from running after straw(?) and getting killed by gramore

Josiah Kaiu

The great brother bear!!

Cameron Barrett

1. When Lou roared, I felt tears of victory in my eyes 2. I don't think it was op purpose, but Brennan's response to Suvi's opening monolog sounds like Eioghorain responding to her, and it absolutely fits

Ric Freeman

On behalf of Australia, I invite Brennan to come down and we'll all line up and criticize your business plan while wearing "Bodie/Brodie" name tags

Carson

MAUSRITTER MENTION IM DYING

Amy English

FWIW if I saw Brennan obsessively watching a particular program I’d assume it was for research purposes. Trying to nail down a certain Australian regional accent, or something like that. Also WHERE DO WE FIND THE PIC OF ERIKA WITH THE FOX IN JAPAN I WANT IT TO MEET MY EYEBALLS

petra

There are also many many Would I Lie to You episodes on YouTube! Just make sure to type “full episode” when searching

Alex R

I believe they posted it on their Instagram recently!!

El

the statue of Juliette in Verona has very shiny boobs…

Camille Lanata

this episode actually resurfaced a memory of watching chitty chitty bang bang and seeing them free the children from the caves/dungeons too

Ren Challacombe

I was just about to add! When i was in Verona for medical treatment we had some time in the city and our guide said we had to touch the boobs

Muadwho

Kool-aid Man is the First Patron Saint of Turn Down for What?!?

Alexavier Estrada

I just started listening a few weeks ago and have had you beautiful, beautiful bastards in my head nonstop. What an incredible achievement, you should all be so damn proud of the magic you've created here!

David Paterson

Shout out from Lou for the gre bobby's friar dog statue in Edinburgh 😀

CommodoreBlue

Was denominalization the word Brennan was looking for?

Andrea

My favourite part is always the love you have for each other. ❤️

Danni Reyes

Kool-Aid is to clothes as pitcher is to body

Danni Reyes

But the liquid can change colors, which makes me think it’s more clothing in the pitcher , his actual body

Yarl

Those! Brooks! Babble! My! Guy!

Yarl

She loves to touch a statch

SmileyGuy

I’m laughing over the thought of the Wizard Sunny loving a fox with her dad‘s voice, but then me realizing that some of the lines come from “a bathroom full of sausages.” (if you know - you know)

Lexie Jones

The golden tongue condom could have just been whatever the wizard Keen had on Ame, BRENNAN.

Kelsey

I was wondering how Aabria and Erika managed to not react to Buckles, it’s cause they weren’t in the room

thequeercat

So y’all know there’s gonna be one beautiful dedicated freak with a soldering iron and a dream that’s gonna make the tongue condom right?

Ess

Heads up that pocket cast returns an error saying this ep has been moved or deleted ✌️

Maria

Brennan made an incredibly detailed fictional world in which several people are liquids within glass containers (Primsy Cold bottle, etc.) so I DONT WANNA HEAR IT BRENNAN

Meghan Lewis

Brennan thinking we’d JUDGE him for watching 5 hours of Australian Shark Tank rather than CELEBRATE him and add to queue is WILD

Kalyn

Yes please!!!

jose romero

Insane lines "so he's not Christ-like"

Muadwho

We all know there's one club in the Citadel that uses the "Pringle on a chain" design...

Mark Beaumont

So, nobody else hear them describe the anti-magic tongue condom and think, “Ah, yes, the Cunnilingua Arcana…” Nope? Just me?

Nate Kreimer

I love what the magic tongue condom says about the citadel. They could literally just use a normal ass gag and it would do the exact same thing but they gotta reinvent the wheel and make it fancy and magic and probably worse

Citadel shark tank would be awesome! NADDPOD does something similar with their "Tortle Tank" and it's always hilarious

“What would you do if did what you wanted to do?” That nat 20 was SO full circle!!

Archmage silence is for sure the first ever creator of an item that silences you! Something that leaves you younger tied lol

The Wizard Sushi

Can we get a combined battle of twelve brooks? For that seamless transition

Cait Batchelor

I do need Brennan specifically to know there is a romance novel written about the legally distinct Kool-Aid man and I have read it and I will pay money if Brennan reads it

The Wizard Salsa

Suvi's intro with the rope and moving one step at a time made me so emotional I was sobbing on my drive home ❤️ this story means so much to me and everyone involved is so so talented it's actually crazy

AinselPixel

You know, I did always notice that Brennan's Australian accent is particularly good... and now I know why 😆

Ian Roberts

Erika the word you're looking for is eukaryote!

Coolclaytony

The word I think your looking for Erika is the Kool-aid man's "nucleus".

The Wizard Solemn

I need citadel shark tank directly in my veins NOW

Dylan Potenza

I'm months late and I have so many thoughts on this episode and cried several times listening to it but what I can't move on from in this fireside is - why would you mention "you're on AO3" to Aabria???? That's so weird!!!! Don't say that shit!

Alyssa

Goooooood, I love relistening to this series and catching new things each time!! “The 3 nodes of the party: Ame is the triumph of insight Eursulon is the triumph of instinct Suvi is the triumph of intellect” 🤯🤩 I fucking love this series AND the fireside so much! 🔥 here for both the bits and the incredible fucking insights into each character.

All the way from the Appalachian mountains, I bring command word "go'on'ngetonouttayere"

Would absolutely listen to citadel shark tank

Nym

Brennan, honey, anyone who has watched enough of your public content is already WELL AWARE of your insanity 😆 It’s why we love you!

Nym

Amazing right?!??

Nym

When they were talking about players who absolutely would have gotten into the mix of that insane battlefield I immediately thought “yeah if Emily Axford had been at the table she’d have made a beeline for that dreadnaught” 😆

Nym

Flawless. No notes.

Nym

TRUE, but I think Primsy has a cap, and in the ordinary course of things she’s not busting through walls on purpose

Nym

Maybe the Glass Coronet still don’t have access to all the lastest… dungeon tech

Nym

It means she can grow with it! 😆 So much content for children has Easter eggs like that for adults

I know I'm a full year late but goblin lair entrance with a bunch of traps that do go off whenever the goblins go out to piss but they're rigged at human chest height so they go harmlessly over the goblins heads
