Ahoo hoo Banger theme Tyler

TheloniousPunkyBrewster

Hoooooooooooooooo It starts with chamber music so you -KNOW- it's going to be nasty

Nathan Neilson

Getting ready to bonk Edit: Do we know what Mirara art they were looking at?

ThatPersonRo

This corner is about to be so horner

Aubrey

listening to this before work.. we’ll see how this goes 👀

Keith Prescott

GOOD MORNING HORNER CORNER TODAY IS A GREAT DAY

Emily C

truly the horniest of corners

Teeven322

This art is everything 😏😜

Josh Grey

I love the artwork for the Horner Corner. Perfect.

Sven the Scribe

I do hope we get more Horner Corner with guests. Would love to see them do this with Jess or Ify.

orion

I love studying allo culture you guys are so fun

The Wizard Seek

This already has me choking on my own laughter on the way to work.

Jakamomo

Oh, today is going to be a great day.

T. B. Shaw

LOVE the art. God I love this show

ScoutHooligan

Horner corner with Aabria, Grant, and Ben-Hwa 💜

Mac

uhhh.... cockle cockle? doesn't work, i'm so sorry lmao

Blaze

big pass on the great bear. terrible father who sleeps all day and doesn't pay attention to his children. and if, god forbid they get the independence to leave he devours them when they return. eursulon was so afraid of contacting him that he decided to seek help from orima who is an arsehole and the man in black, who is just generally disturbing individual; rather than ask help from his father.

Mac

Horner Corner: Toma Drift

Felix

YES, GRANT YESSS!

Mac

this is my first day back to work after a week off and i'm glad i get to start my day with a grant o'brien surprise this morning! (not the first time he's heard that one probably...)

Brennen Hilgendorf

Could not have agreed more with the takes in this pod. I’m down for Horner Corner anytime!

Jasmine A. Golphin

The Horner Corner's in depth reporting on the omegaverse is how I found WBN in the first place, and frankly we need more of it!

Felix

this is almost an hour long and it's way too short

Emily C

this was FANTASTIC and i'm glad i listened before work bc this would undoubtedly be the time when my Bluetooth headphones don't pair and the office would hear about pocket pussies

Jessie Harris

Bros mad at a bear for being a bear /j

The Wizard Syncretism

Absolutely amazing but oh I wish Brennan and Lou were there having to listen to all of this! Their discomfort at folks wanting to smash all the NPCs is my fav part of Horner Corner.

Al

Ah yes, what a beautiful morning for some tomfoolery. Thank you for the meal. ✨

Kristen Huete

I'm shocked at some of the conclusions but it was so fun listening and learning about our dear friend Grant O'Brien. I absolutely loved having him on this episode and hearing his take on everything. PLEASE do this more often!! (With Grant specifically) ❤️❤️

One Punch Max

How do I apply for a position as sex-haver?

Manifesting Good Posture

Ah, forgot there wasn't an episode this week! Thought we were going to be going into things like the null clef - not to worry, though, because it seems this episode has PLENTY of reflecting and indicating going on[EXTREMELY INCORRECT BUZZER SOUND]

Bobby Lewis

It is a WILD move to release this at 7AM on a Tuesday, love you guys!

Ellie Hail

Please, allow me to tell on myself. Great Bear - PASS (Kids too chaotic ew) Will Gallows - SMASH (As a cockney, it’s my duty) Naram - SMASH (Seven fingers? The nicest? Hello?) Orima - SMASH (That giggle at Eursulon at the shrine? I died) Steel - SMASH (I can fix her!) Mirara- PASS (Temper tantrums aren’t hot) Gramore - SMASH (Mark me down as scared and horny, personified) Eioghorain - PASS (That swag tho, if only he didn’t canonically smell bad) The Man in Black - SMASH (That drawl, that fit, that sense of purpose? Damn) Thank you for listening.

Chase!

Can we have a follow up where lou and brennan are run through all of Grants answers and reasoning? Maybe they guess his answer?

cnidarian casper

Music for this ep has no right to be this good, impeccable work!!

BabasYagas

I am about to listen to this while having a root canal performed on my molar. Send horny thoughts

Ryan Higgins

This music shouldn't have the right to be so fucking good. Outstanding!!

AKRhodes

Man in black is such an obvious smash, but they knew that going in XD any chance we can get Brennan and Lou live reacting to this?

THEY Agenda Productions

Mirara has my mind going wild with the third arm 🥵🥵🥵 SMASH! This was awesome! I love Grant, he was the perfect person to have on for the Horner Corner

Natalia Zorrilla

the panther growl under the man in black’s voice??????? oh?????

Daveyzones

Horner Corner with Grant is like peas and carrots.

Johnystoo

Um, Actually! Orima and Naram might have at least one kid? The Great Bear is rumored to be their child.

Izer

Gramore's BO being compared to licking a battery was a bridge too far. Y'all braver than the troops any one who can see/smell past that

Aura The Doof

I can't believe this episode is how I realized Steel isn't Black

QTheWizardSagacious

I love how down bad we remain for The Man in Black. Poor Brennan.

Friday the Fierce

Wasn’t Brennen’s choice from the coven Wren? I think I remember a conversation about how cute, earthy, corduroy was his thing more than overtly sexy

Blaze

not mad, just don't find him smash material.

Michelle Spurgeon

This was everything I expected and so much more.

Iwantweeklyreleases

I’m so glad they actually did it! Grant is the perfect first guest!

K

Hi where’s the naram showerhead fic. I SAID IT IM NOT SORRY.

E. Jason Davis

LMAO- I did not love this fireside chat, I do love that Erika and Aabria got some of this energy out.

Chantalleke

I'm sorry, you cannot sya you'd smash Gramore, but then pass on Eioghorain for his smell?? Gramore absolutely smells so much worse than him

Barbara

The art design for this is absolutely PERFECT! ✨️💕🔥

warriorsmurf

Kicking my feet and giggling!

Ellie Hail

I can deal with a funky bloody woman, but can’t suffer a stinky man. It doesn’t make sense but it’s how I feel. I think her aesthetic just swings it for me. 🤷‍♀️

Shreyas Joshi

Loved the Horner Corner as always, why did the music pop off in this one.

Muadwho

Orima is just Morticia before (or without) Gomez.

Chip Roush

Grant was the perfect guest for this. There’s lots to smash about the wizard Steel but the genocide-adjacent aspect makes it hard for me TBH

Jessie Harris

Hey, we know for sure that Suvi and Eursulon fuck, do we have any word on Ame? I can’t remember if it’s been mentioned before

rio

Smash or Pass: The Great Bear - SMASH💥 (then skedaddle before he eats me for real) Will Gallows - pass (don’t want them clammy hands on me, nope, sorry) Naraam - Smash💥 with special appreciation for the aftercare 🥰 Orima - Pass (sad for me, I know, but not into being choked) Steel - Pass, miss me with the manipulative fascist Mirara - Smash💥 (I think I could change her) Gramore - VISCERAL Smash💥 (it’s giving demonic torturer Dean Winchester) Heinrule - SMASH UNTIL HE RIPS MY THROAT OUT 💥 Eighorain - Absolute Smash💥 the uncle energy, the shapeshifting kink, the primal violence of defending your own, the revolution of it all 🥵 The Man in Black - Smash💥 (that fucking voice rumbling in my ear 😫) and then take him out because he’s as bad as the Citadel Also just a bonus, the whole sound design team - SMASH💥 I frequently cannot fully process the depths of your beautiful work consciously, and must instead be weirdly horny about your incredible music, so thanks for that

Molly Sisson

Grant for this is all I could ever want! If you ever do another, I'd love to see Jess Ross!

Ben Warzeski

I got legit annoyed that was just a 6 minute tease until I realized the rest was on here :-)

The Wizard Sprinkle

my headcannon for Nif is when Ariana Grande played that little castrati boy on SNL

Jack Lane

I feel very seen. Thank you The Horner Corner!

Britt Anderson

Thrilled, delighted, and absolutely kicking my feet under the covers that the once joked about HORNER CORNER is finally here! 🤩🥵🫠 And overjoyed that folks like the art and the logo 😈

flyingwriter

Okay, but Steel has the more mommy vibes, especially when described as just chilling in her robe, being comfortable. I can get down with that. Fascists. Can. Be. Changed! (There is not a shred of evidence for this… Steel is just so fucking hot, and has Mommy Domme energy)… but realistically, I think the chats right, it’s a pass :(

D'Arcy Prendergast

I need this to be a recurring segment with Grant for all future campaigns. The energy of this trifecta is unmatched, though honestly having Lou and Brennan there to clutch their pearls and make disbelieving noises would be a nice addition if they're free next time.

Kolbjorn

mash or Pass: The Great Bear - SMASH💥 there is just something about that primal energy... Naraam - Pass--I want to sit under the sea with Naraam for untold ages and come to know as the ocean, wise and worn. The things I want from Naraam would only be fettered by fucking. Orima - SMASH💥 step on me mommy Steel - Pass. I don't like the way Steel treats Suvi. Mirara - Pass--I just do not have any pants feelings about Mirara. I do feel like it might ve a really good time to sit around and have tea with her and her crow. Gramore - SMASH💥 SMASH💥 SMASH💥 Heinrule - SMASH💥 And for all the same reasons. Goddamn, this is a pair. Eighorain - SMASH💥 Oh man the gritty, worldweary l, beleaguered get up and do it anyways of this man. This would be a amash even if he wasn't a shapeshiftee and played by Toshiro Mifune but HE IS THOUGH. 10/10 Incredibly sexy character The Man in Black - Man I wanna Smash so bad because that voice though. Incredible work by the sound team. But uhhhhh Episode 51 was uh. That was a whoooooole revelation. I can't smash with that.

Eila Graff

If you do not say the words "um actually" you will be exploded with mind powers

Matt Kilsby

Grant's voice is extremely pleasing to my ears

flyingwriter

Oh 100,000%! It is sooooo HOT!

Rover Bernhard

Um, actually, Grant your acting teacher was quoting Oscar Wilde

Witch of the Whispered Word

Was destroying an entire bloodline with a single spell extremely hot? Yes. Is her commanding energy also extremely hot? YES!!! I just can’t get past the whole extremely corrupt moral code… and she treats Sonder and her children pretty poorly :/ maybe a one-night stand situation

flyingwriter

Very good points. I was quite turned off my her lack of care for her own children (a fact that I forgot about)… but hear me out, corruption and moral codes can also BE . CHANGED. ! We can make her a good guy (we absolutely cannot, but a one night stand sounds like an excellent way to start)!

Lorsnax

Hope it went well!

Ron Ron

I need Brennan reaction to this!

Lulu

Horner Corner hosted by the Witches of Wanton Wanting, what a great start to the day

Ron Ron

I would like him be the 1st guest like in 1st 5 episode of new book and then leave

Lorsnax

Scanning the comments before listening and I cannot wait to hear what great music is in store. Frankly did not expect bespoke audio for this episode but egg on my face, to be sure.

Jules

This was a fucking delight

Viktor Engholm

Not the crossover I expected but the one I NEEDED! Thank you for this one!! And shoutout to Britt for the awesome art!! <3

TheNBV

Omg, this art is so cute!! Love it!

Devon

I love witnessing Erika and Aabria freak out over the hotties in Umora, but the discomfort of Lou and Brennan being so palpable makes me feel so bad for them lmao. Grant was the perfect guest for this.

bails 🌀 witch of the what the fuck

Aabria since I know ur gonna be in these comments at some point: I simply GOTTA get your fancasts for all the mentioned characters ‼️ as a bonus may I submit Tamino Amir as Prince Khemari Olfgang Saraz 👀 he was my headcanon for Sirius when I was reading All The Young Dudes 😌

OmTheNoms

The Horner corner be popping off! Some pretty valid takes 👀 Something I just realized though, is with Mirara and The Man in Black being in a cannon sexual relationship. We've really only seen The Man in Black out walking roads, in his ferry, or at the well. So like does this mean they get down and dirty (pun intended) out on some crossroads? 🤔 Just imagine stumbling across that indescribable scene while out for a midnight walk ☠️

Miles Bush

We don’t fuck fascists… ✊😔

Erika Ishii

Absolutely NAILED the assignment THANK YOU 😮‍💨♥️

Daylynnrey

Lost it at "you don't respect an ecosystem"

Shey

I need this to be a bi-weekly experience y’all this was amazing

Shey

The Horner Corner art is SO GOOD

Joshua Vern

The great bear in my head will always be the bear from burrow's end and I don't know if I want to do anything about that

CaptainFaiI

Pass. I'm so tired of every media property being over-sexualized. Thank you for the care and effort put into the episode but it wasn't for me.

Alec

eldritch nightmares from witnessing sex beyond comprehension is a new fear I didn't know I needed to have truly living in ignorance is best

kiki✨

Britt Anderson, credited in the post

worldsbeyondnumber

Britt Anderson made the great Horner Corner album art. Read the post you’re commenting on for a link to Britt’s insta!

Alec

I don't think they'll ever fully get it out 💀

Connor Sponsler

I am glad he is actually here, but I was half hoping that upon introducing Grant, Lou piped up and introduced himself.

Alec

It's an immediate pass for me having an incredibly strong sense of smell due to neurodivergence

Connor Sponsler

I mean, pan-weekly seems fitting as well

James

[asexual fan furiously taking notes to help himself understand the allosexuals in his life] only half joking because Aabria, Erika, and Grant are genuinely doing a good job at like actually ~explaining~ the attraction and what causes it, instead of like "idk they're hot. what's wrong with you?"

Alec

Really fun episode y'all - I love a fluff episode on the side especially for our horny audience. I love this once in a blue moon kind of thing!

worldsbeyondnumber

Um, actually, he was not. Oscar Wilde never said or wrote that. Firstly, the tone, structure, and type of wit do not match Wilde’s style. Second, the word “sex” as a noun meaning fornication or copulation did not come into use until well into the 20th century. The most likely source for the quote is the private correspondence of an obscure mid century academic named Robert Michels. You are simply going to have to try harder than that, Rover.

Rover Bernhard

Ah I was um, actually’d! Glad I got that corrected! Thank you!

expandingnebula

super fun ep! does anyone know if I can get Grant’s podcast on Overcast or is it only available on Spotify? thanks!

Jayfeather

to me the man in black always has the look in my mind of a more fucked up charon the ferryman from hades

expandingnebula

i hear this! honestly, even as an allosexual person having people explain what is hot to them and explaining the attraction is always helpful in breaking down stigma and stereotypes and getting more perspective/discovering more about myself

Emily Joynes

One child, grandchildren beyond number 😂

Keid

Damn, I loved this so much

James

Yes! And even as an ace person, the things that I tend to find visually appealing about people is not the same as a lot of conventionally attractive standards. I once spent a looooong time staring at a picture of an actor someone had thirst-posted to try to make ANYTHING click. So the focus that these three are having on energy and vibes and dynamics is making me go "okay, that's something I can understand."

Connor Sponsler

Golden Eye the Strangle Guy GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!

Peydon Bush

So happy to see grant here

ceeg

Some of you people are PRUDES!

Devora

Oh my GOD this art is PERFECTION!!!!

Devora

It is GORGEOUS and their facial expressions and Aabria’s lil blush are PERFECT

Devora

Actual lol

Alex

Can someone let me know if there are spoilers for the last couple eps? I’m behind on story but I want to listen to this right now omg

Hannah Flynn

The art is perfect. What a treat!

rio

lol I love the idea that they have a public sex & cruising kink

Rebecca Barker

Great response to a great response. Much respect

rio

I think we actually can make her a good guy, because I’m pretty sure her fascism is because Lucent got her with the Geas + Modify Memory 1-2 Punch, and this is her “brilliant minds find justifications for things” reaction: that a world within war and destruction would be worth all the lives lost at her command.

rio

Aabria’s reading these anti-Steel comments and shaking her head lol

rio

He really did it to himself with that fuckin drawl 😫😫😫

The Wizard Skip

I know in my brain it’s a pass but my heart would 100% sign up to be in an unhealthy manipulative FWB relationship with Steel

Kelly

This was SO fun!! Grant was a great guest and I hope y’all can do it again with other happy horny guests! Also this music s l a p s. Also also I want a Horner Corner logo sticker so bad 😂

CarpeBootium

I’m imagining Brennan on Lou’s therapy show and Lou joins him on the couch, hoping another counselor shows up to make the bad visions go away.

The Wizard Saccharine

The only thing saving Gramore from cop energy is my assumption that she doesn't care about private property

Molly Gould

Yes there are big battle spoilers

Emily C

you understood the assignment for sureeeee

Chey

I love the art!!!

Strange Universe

Weird how notably gangly Grant O'Brien is immediately down to smash anyone described as tall and thin

Jacob B.

Im so happy Grant mentioned The Stand. I thought I was the only one

aphid

Nah you're good to go

Beanz

I didn't know what to correct but really wanted to "um, actually." Thank you for doing it.

taylor johnson

No spoilers. They talk about the coven, several great spirits, steel, and will gallows

v_squared (Vanessa)

Re: wdym you wanna fuck the man that got hanged but walked that shit off? What do you mean you DON'T immediately wanna fuck him?! Defying Death itself is HOT, Brennan!

Beanz

Not-sexy tangent: Stephen King's universe has a couple characters who are probably the same "man," Nyarlathotep (a Lovecraft creation.) I imagine Brennan's Man in Black as one stop along the very long game of Telephone. I specify "being in a game of Telephone" because he does have important differences, but I think some of them are just adjustments to this world of spirits and magical humans.

Beanz

Have you been saying "Zac Oyama" this entire time?

K

I’ve had the dark tower series very much in mind here too

Aiden Abett

And here l thought it was a Janelle Monàe lyric lol

Sydney Nylia

SO happy I finally have a place to leave this deranged thought: Daddy Niram and Mommy Oreima will always be the HOTTEST couple in this podcast. (Aabria and Erik accept my challenge lol jk) Love you all!

Rebekah

THAT. VOICE. Sometimes shivers can be for more than one reason, that’s all I’m saying. 👀

Rebekah

Competence. The turn-on we didn’t expect, but all immediately vibed with. 😂 🥵

RuviGaPo

I LOVE THIS THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

QTheWizardSagacious

Lisssssstennnnnnn....I have to curb and remind myself that that man is a human being whos married with a beautiful child and that he doesn't deserve unhinged objectification based on him doing his job * FREQUENTLY* I swear I'm sane and I blame 2020 and a particular reddit community for my mental illness 🤣😭

CarpeBootium

Though I’m also imagining Izzy listening to this and buying a bunch of costumes for Brennan

Jo Goforth

playing this episode at the next t4t sex party as a warmup game

Jo Goforth

they are absolutely doing this and its a deeply important addition that goes hand in hand with my tightly held belief that they are a deeply messy fagdyke dykefag t4t relationship

The King of House Cabraescuro

This is where I landed as well. Steel doesn't seem to have space for people in her life for more than a moment. Also, I'm not really in on mommy vibes.

Jo Goforth

if they've got an extra limb its ALWAYS an immediate smash

The King of House Cabraescuro

Great Bear- Pass. He a bit too grungy Will Gallows- Fling smash, like a orgy in the ballroom scenario Naram and Orima- Smash, we love a good couple and Naram would have amazing cuckchair energy. Steel- Pass, not really feeling the fascism and mommy vibes. Mirara- Smash, she just needs to be held if someone can 😅 Gramore- Smash but only after or during a vigorous shower. Smell is important. Heinrule- Smash on principle due to hot tub shenanigans. Eighorain- Shapeshifting Smash. The possibilities are endless. Man in Black- Pass. His journey feels a bit too oppressive, but I respect it.

Oakenguard

So Orima and Narram gotta have kids right??? Also Erika and Aabria being so excited Grant is on the level is soooo funny lol

Mac

lol this story would hit so different if the Man in Black just went “hhghhhhhggeeeuuuughhgghhhghhh” all the time

Thomas Nissen

This is.. not for me. But I am happy you all enjoyed it, and I am looking forward to next week ^^

Kael McDonald

I ALREADY SAID SMASH I CAN'T SMASH ANY HARDER

Haradrian

Calling him out! Grant O'Brien used the "sex is about power" line on What Have You Been Drinking? as well, and it is 100% a line from House of Cards. Love ya!

Emily

Absolutely perfect guest

Elizabeth Boskey

Three bisexual queens confirming my desire to hang out with every one of them and be my full bisexual weirdo self

Haradrian

I didn't know that thanks for the info!

nk

I love the art!

nk

It is 2 seconds in and I immediately feel the presence of Will Gallows.

Gwynx

Not me listening to this on the bus and making the most ridiculous faces 😂

Katlynn

Grant did not disappoint 😂

Ana Jones

Erica, Aabria, and Grant putting the Bone in Cone! I need these two to rank some other characters Brennan has voiced in other projects for Horner Corner because, Garthy O’Brien sounds incredibly HAWT!

Jamie Gobking

Thank you! I was going to say it's DEFINITELY older than House of Cards haha

Jamie Gobking

Omg yes we NEED to talk about Garthy O'Brien more

Shadarous

Please please please put the poster on Good store i NEED it for my wife XD

Rae Millard

Perfect guest for horner corner! Grant is such a great cross between philosophy and pure horniness.

Felix

Grant should just be a reoccurring guest on the horner corner. Every other episode. Or if they only happen occasionally to rarely, every episode. Fantastic Trio

Brian Bunton

Lifelong Southerner here. I’ve never heard kudzu pronounced like that. I’ve always heard and said “cud-zoo.” Do people really pronounce it with a long u in both syllables?

Jay

love the drawing so much 🥰

Felix

i'm seeing rehka and ify as suggestions tho so i am easily persuaded.

Ale

Is he a listener now? He really should be. Bro really clocked the vibe

Alyssa

Something something…service top joke…something

Brandon Carbaugh

Grant passing on Steel for lack of authentic vulnerability based on description alone is amazingly laser-targeted.

Bog Station: Remembrance

I’ll go as far as to say Garthy O’Brien is Brennan’s hottest character

Bog Station: Remembrance

Next Horner corner really should feature the others. Maybe Indri is disqualified because her very aura is “you will fuck me and do my bidding”

Bog Station: Remembrance

I don’t think we do, and it’s interesting how Erika is playing her… Ame seems to avoid sex or romance in her own life except when it’s other people and highly romanticized or at a distance (lesbian scullery maid with broom, the lemon lady scene, the funny Wren map paramour, the young couple and the ring). It’ll be interesting to see where they land with Ame’s personal life… I’m thinking she is afraid of seeing herself as desirable and lovable in that way, and therefore has compartmentalized it.

Warlock

Yaaassss please more guests on the Horner Corner! Also if any of the guests listen to WBN they could mention their Hear me outs!

akodorokku

I need the Horner Corner weekly, but I will settle for monthly.

akodorokku

Indri is way too into herself to be a good lover. When she wants to get off it's probably via some bound spirit.

Rebecca Barker

Can’t find it but the show actually replied with the real source! I’ll keep looking…

kaguya_yoru

Grant was the perfect addition to the Horner Corner! He understood the assignment perfectly. ❤️

Sayre

I would subscribe to Horner Corner if it was its own Patreon. This is amazing.

Ashe

So good this needs to be a regular thing

baxter ferguson

Taylor Moore should post that outro to Spotify so I can add it to my playlist button VVV

Chey

taylor!! i loved that outro music so much!!!!! update: i found it on youtube and spotify woohoo

Warlock

Oh absolutely 💯 and Becca Scott

TommyAshwood013

Grant was obviously the ideal guest for this segment, but he was such a scholar and a delight in a way I couldn't have predicted! Would love to see him return for another installment.

David

wait please tell meeeeeeeeeee

Chey

artists in the description "La Boca Fiesta" by Maya Belsitzman and Matan Ephrat into google it will give you all the links to Spotify and YouTube

RuviGaPo

Also niw that it's morning: Hewwo ??♡♡ is this not the cutest podcast att EVER ??? I simply Must see horner corner return if only for the cute cover art

sinnyjen

Ify Nwadiwe.

W

Speculation: it's closer to the Japanese origin of the plant for the first syllable to sound like "could".

Warlock

Persephone Valentine

Blüe

The perspective in this podcast is so overwhelmingly submissive at times, I find it super funny. Couldn't relate less xD I'm more into obedient sweethearts.

Amber Prophet

I knew Grant would be excellent to have in the Horner Corner. And I agree with him on all smashes and passes.

Yarl

This cover art???!!!???!!

Witch of the Widdle Wiggly Guys

Wait okay wait okay pause pause pause pause pause... is Gramore related to The Great Bear like how Ame is distantly related to the fox spirit?

D Livingston McPherson

Nacho sins when?? I've gotta hear more of Lou and Brennan's thoughts on splitting a nacho plate

Kat

This coming out the day before Redbull Racing (F1) announced that they fired their team principal Christian Horner? Coincidence? I’m not so sure.

Liuba M

Loved the energy of showing your favorite show to a friend and watching their reaction hoping they like it 😁

Somewhat Danny

The worst part of listening to this was hearing “the purpose driven life” and knowing it was written by Rick Warren, not Joel Osteen

Jenifer Gitzen

To me, Grimore gives First Slayer from Buffy energy

Cassandra Jenis

I MISSED THAT YORIN IS ASIAN?? SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH

Cassandra Jenis

Steele is definitely a one time smash into lovers to enemies scenario

jus10

The intro 😆

TPK_light

Shout out to Grant for the fancast of Sigourney Weaver for Steel. Because godDAMN

Nicknack

A true blessing for the week

Ashe

This is delightful and the music is perfection

The Wizard Sojourn

Truly it's hilarious listen to them consistently go rabid for characters like gramore or man in black when some of us would have a field day with Tefmet and Sonder.

Blüe

I was going to say Tefmet was missing in this!! They were described so beautiful too

The Wizard Sojourn

This was so fun- And! Nacho sins when??? I want to see both kinds of freaks fly free

allisonfischer

I’ve been patiently waiting for Horner Corner. Thank you, all 🖤🥵

natasha

Literally a minute and a half in and it's already the horniest thing I never heard lolol Also, this feels like bisexual awareness idk haha

Benevolent Sea Star

That was one of the top books that people donated when I was working at a thrift store lol, I picked that detail up immediately

Danica Dickison

So glad Grant came to validate our feelings! It was fun hearing his audio reaction to the man in black. He’s been indoctrinated - well done y’all🙌 Also I’m ready to simp in the Horner Corner whenever y’all are 😤 🫡

Witch of the Wyrd Dreaming

Now i want a Volothamp Geddarm type NPC, styled after Grant. Just crossing paths with every important NPC and syndicating ballads or tabloids of their numerous sexual encounters. Sex in the Citadel, when?

kaguya_yoru

Your animatics are phenomenal!!! So glad you gave us such wonderful visuals to go along with the amazing audio we get treated to in WBN! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

PatrickJamesRay

My former evangelical ass was like “um actually the purpose driven life was written by Rick Warren

Ashleah

This was delightful

worldsbeyondnumber

There we go. THANK YOU for following the instructions in the show notes. Can’t believe it took more than a day for someone to correct that.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Her older daughter is, though, from the description. So in less than six years Steel lost one partner, the father of her older daughter, married Sonder and had her son (and was there another daughter?), suffered a mysterious injury, lost her two best friends under mysterious circumstances, and adopted their child, who then became her oldest daughter. Wild times.

Matt Lozinski

First off, LOVE the art. Secondly, a little sad you didn't include ursalon in the list

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Ame has had no chance to get to know suitable people. And while she will happily giggle with Suvi about sex and engage at a distance as you said, I do think that for Ame, the "getting to know" part is important. She is the Witch of the World's Heart for a reason. I don't think casual hookups are what she wants.

Maria

Um, they didn’t say “um actually”

Cortney Cline

This was so perfect. I would love more of these with different guests, and Grant was absolutely the perfect choice for the first guest.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

I don't think I'm ace, but the Horner Corner is just not my thing, and I considered skipping this one. I decided to at least give it a try because I knew these three would be having a blast. My response was like yours: "Oh, OK, I can see how you got there."

Lee Chirtel

Even if there is no Geneva Convention in this world, I must point out that Montesquieu's book was literally "The Spirit of the Laws". 18th century French Courtly society would also very much fit the Horner Corner.

PatrickJamesRay

Wow I honestly didn’t even read the show notes. Just felt like posting about my deep knowledge of evangelical christian non fiction lit lore

g0dfath4

is there a way to see the video component ?

Drew Faber

Pleeeeease oh my god. “I couldn’t help but wonder… am I looking for a Wizard Suave when what I really need is a Wizard Stable?”

Aviva

100% here for Nacho Sins.

Aviva

It’s in the show notes!

Aviva

I had to double-take mid-comment. I do indeed pronounce it with the long ū in both syllables.

Aviva

A description to aspire to, honestly.

Aviva

It was just one night, but I can’t help but think of, “Fifty?!”

Aviva

My limited understanding is that you’ll have the best luck @ing Aabria on Tumblr.

Aviva

🥁

Aviva

Pearl clutching and disbelieving-noise-making has to be a secondary reaction session. Can’t have them bringing down the unrestrained Horner Corner vibes, but I definitely want to hear them.

Aviva

“Destroying a bloodline is hot” makes my tummy curdle.

Aviva

Wait what

Aviva

It’s not Taylor’s!

Aviva

Garthy O’Brien’s name is surely a nod to Grant O’Brien, right? Even if subconsciously.

Aviva

Green flags guy vibes and I love it.

Aviva

I haven’t listened yet, but confidently label this NSFW, yes.

Aviva

One helluva bumper sticker.

Aviva

Um, actually, it’s Taylor and he didn’t make it.

WWMSudoku

yeah i saw that in the description after writing that "reading comprehension? in my audio podcast?"

TheWizardSloth

The glowing spine talk reminded me of Carnival Row's Cara Delevingne's orgasm activated fairie wings. YAAASSS!

Sentimental Salamander

Aabria being excited about taking the cuck chair was not on my 2025 Bingo card

Petalgust

Highly blessed and favored.

GenderDruid

Frankly, I like what you’ve done here at the fireside. Horny content is slowly going extinct and these three bisexual goblins are the correct people to resurrect it. Their pants-feelings conservation efforts should be lauded. Also, Grant, Aabria, and Erika should collab with Hard Choices to rank the fuckability of these beloved NPCs.

Danica Dickison

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them so far!🫶

Pat & Heather

This was almost indescribably glorious. Grant was the perfect guest. Also just for the record, where is this Zac Oyama priest pic...?

Ana Jones

Oh most definitely!

Dr. Eggman

Fascinating listen for an asexual person

CarpeBootium

So when will Grant be in “Bag It or Tag It”?

Immerzart

Grant repeatedly saying he has "daddy energy" while subbily thirsting for the dom characters the whole time.... daddy energy WHERE lmao

g0dfath4

oh i meant the trio bc i know they record their convos

Nefeli

If I could sub again just for Horner Corner I would

Queen Motoko

Good things to keep in mind as a writer, lol

Samantha Goose

Thank you, I was looking for this!! Was hoping they’d link it in the show notes

Nathan Levine

This was such a fun thing you've done! Grant was delightful as always! I think Steel did do a genocide if only because of the scale Brennan indicated of his distant progeny dropping dead in a way that entirely lost the Gauth faction the battle very quickly. Probably hundreds? Idk, it was squicky to me, so at minimum genocide adjacent. Imagine Steel used that spell used on Ame's distant ancestor? Or Kaliya, or the Great Bear? No more RoRo? I imagine we'd all feel different about it. I've been seeing Steel as the potential bbeg for a while now, so I'm biased. She's probably my favorite Brennan villain though so...

Roger

10/10 did love this segment!

Bog Station: Remembrance

Agreed. The culture of sex in the Witching World is so much more beyond human than the culture of sex at the Citadel (Suvi’s exp.) or in the mortal world (Eursulon’s)… I love that this can be considered by us listening, and doesn’t feel undeveloped at all, due to how well each character and interaction are being performed by our storytellers 🥰

Maya B

I don’t know if Purpose-Driven is what I’m looking for in a lover, I would feel a lot of pressure lol

Witch of What Now

Lmao Grant has the most bratty sub energy I have ever seen (but hey, public and private are different personas so I guess I have no choice but to take the man at his word)

Witch of What Now

Wizard Sworn is a sub and I will not hear otherwise. You've done such a good job, sweetheart, such a good boy. Now put that staff down and let me take care of you... EDIT: not really, no fascists, I only like boots licked in the bedroom thankyouverymuch

Witch of What Now

Right?! Human desire is too wide and beautiful and varied to fit into the tiny box of the oppressive beauty standard du jour, and once you grow up and *ahem* get out there, you really start to figure out how much of it comes down to Vibes rather than whatever the hell various marketing departments want to sell you.

Lux ❤︎

You know, as a perpetually burnt out switch, sometimes it’s nice to just sit back and not have to do anything or perform one way or the other. I wouldn’t be surprised if Aabria was similar!

Moosemade

With Grant here it ain't a corner it's a whole dang wing! Also, I'm glad that someone else went to bat for Mirara. Different angle, sure, but to bat nonetheless.

The Wizard Sushi

So now that we've gotten the horner corner, when do we get brenan and lou's Nacho Secrets?

Lee Chirtel

I don't think this is exactly, the correct format for this, but I don't think the target or extent is what makes this a war crime. They were armed combatants engaged in a war, after all. I think it is the vector of attack used that is the issue, analogous to our biological, chemical, and toxin weapon restrictions. The spell is the most similar to ideas of targeted diseases that disproportionately impact those of certain ethnic or even family/individual backgrounds. These are mostly theoretical because of being very illegal (BTWC is basically universal) and not very practical. Neighboring countries (or the major powers with the resources to do this) would not want this disease to spread to similar groups. You wouldn't want to assassinate someone, but then kill all the dissenters of the same group who are spys or a government in exile. And if you can infect/inject someone with something, a conventional thing will usually be cheaper and easier. The objection is rather that the mode takes kinship and turns it into an attack vector. In a feudal world this would be even more destabilizing. This spell potentially could decapitate any non Citadel faction, since they seem to be more intellectual lineage rather than familial in leadership.

Kamuraki

This is the content I come here for

Nathan Levine

Far more eloquent than what I said, I agree with all of this.

Kaylyn Pratt

grant is the perfect person to have on the horner corner

2026-09-08 21:00 Would LOVE to see a consistent release cadence of main arc content. I'm for horner corner in its own time and place but not a 6min segment replacing the main programming. It's like a commercial replacing a full episode. C'mon! I can't be the only one thinking this.

Morgan Aloia

Grant’s acting teacher bit a Foucault quote!

Ashley B.

Couldn’t have picked a better first guest 🙏❤️

Aussie Griffin

Thanks for acknowleding that Brennan and Lou aren't 100% down with the sexual take on the characters. It's good seeing the healthy, and yes sexy, discussion of boundaries. A.G.

Kendall Smith

It's been 3 months of insanity for these people that have other jobs and commitments that we pay very little for access to a bunch of content? I agree I get frustrated in the moment but as a human I realize they're busy. And it's not like we aren't getting anything, they post extra content constantly.

Rachel Yadlowski

While Grant is the perfect first for the Horner Corner. I gotta say. As the First ever guest on WBN, not what I would have put money on 😂 P.S. LOVE THE ART. You two look cuuuuute!

Ryan

Im personally disappointed that we arent playing clips from the show to introduce each character as voiced and described by Brennan (and any other fun effects that the audience hears on their voice), it would be a fun subversion of the "recap episode" since this part of the story is coming to a close. Very fun conversation nonetheless:)

The Wizard Sushi

I don’t care what they call it, as long as I can give them my money to watch it

Dominic Corbin

Frankly I was a bit concerned that Horner Corner was a bit TOO spicy for the public feed, so when Taylor said to go check the rest by the FIreside I was a little relieved actually

Aberdeen B

Please please do more of these with Grant!! I’ve always enjoyed Grant O Brien in his many dropout and college humor things but this felt exactly like he was right in his element (so were Erika and aabria) and I’ve never enjoyed him more. Also, not to boost that ego but his voice is A+ for podcasting 😍 also love Erika and Aabria’s Horner corner ANYTIME

finnflams

wonderful. amazing. delightful. everything I could have wanted

Sophie L

Why are the bears children illegitimate ?? Do the spirits refuse to recognise children born out of wedlock ? With the bears life span some could’ve been ligitimate in whichever relevant realms

bexcx

Such a great artwork! Agree to disagree with Grant on the Great Bear! Would love to hear more horner corner - so fun!

E.E. Gads

If ur not scrolling Feeld while listening to this... what are you doing?

Xan

Always more Horner Corner! Bring Grant back!

Jonathan Rose

Need a Brennan and Lou reacts to this one. Lol. Loved Grant for this. Always love a good horner corner.

Scallopfrito

Ok, the music absolutely didn't have to go that hard!!

Alex Leonard

My first episode of GoT was the S4 premiere. “I thought Sean Bean was in this?”

Emma Henson

Crazy to listen to this after the Steel reveal

Dezzi

Thank GOD Grant gets it. Thank god. Aabriya and Erika are SO CORRECT in EVERY HORNY TAKE they make and I'm so glad Grant is here to validate them AND me

Bria A.

I'm behind on this, and even though he didn't get a segment, I'm pretty sure Sworn was the "tall and competent" side conversation! So, kind of!

Sw

Orima is a big old smash idc what aabria thinks Naram I'd fully marry, if we're switching games, what a guy

Sw

Why is the music for the horner corner so dreamy I'm obsessed, i need it in my ear all the time

Nikki Luna Paz

I came here to say the same thing! The music is so good

Muadwho

"Why you runnin???"

Wizard Sorcha

How do we describe Gramore and NOT mention the Wizard Straw getting used like a Capri Sun?? Wild.

Saoirse

This is both extremely fun and kind of fascinating when they describe their reasons

Sixel

This was such a fun break from the story - great hosts and guest 🥰

Nym

Brennan needs to understand the tremendous power he wields so he doesn’t do so in ignorance 😂 I hope he learned something today. But my favorite smash wasn’t here!! Wherefore our competent boi Sworn??

Nym

😂

Nym

If one could ever get Steel to relax for a second I might be down, but she’s so in the mission 24/7

Ari Yovel

Any chance someone has the link to the animatic discussed in the episode? Would love to get the visual for myself

thomas henderson

"THAT is the sound of Worlds Beyond Number" 😂

KDHL

Begging for a Horner Corner with Grant O’Brien at the end of Solari.
