Finally I'm awake for an episode drop! Ready to laugh so hard.

Allison Bransford

So now that the WGA strike is over will Lou come back from Panama and resume his hosting of the Kimmel show? Or will we continue to get guests at the fireside?

Joshua Vern

This episode got me lost in the socks

WWMSudoku

"old people be fuckin'" - Lou Wilson, 2023

TomBlue8

Can't seem to find it on the pocket cast app feed, anyone else having that problem?

Tash the Stampede

Additional fact: there are MC Escher hills or "Gravity" hills IRL, where you appear to be going down but are actually going up

Eric

ESS3wmm5p y

Sven the Scribe

It's there on my podcatcher. Make sure you're looking at the Fireside feed not the main feed.

Michelle Spurgeon

Excellent end credits song, also Brennan can NOT be the host anymore

Gytrash Ash

1. What is the article about semi-puritanical sexual mores as a result of the shipping wars? Sounds interesting. 2. Wasn’t it “I’m gonna shoot up this club with this fuckin’ MILF gun of cum I have?”

TomBlue8

All good, must've missed it, thanks!

Sven the Scribe

It would be far too much to ask or expect Taylor to somehow blend Brennan's 'eat me out from the inside' into 'Closer' but damn if I didn't hold out hope until the last possible moment.

Erin

I love the energy when everyone is in the same room. Delightfully unhinged!

August D.

I’m going to need someone else to come explain to my boss why I will be chuckling about Nine Inch Nails for the rest of the day

Josh Neff

You all nailed the main reason why I don't like XP bank and buy systems in RPGs.

Zinnia133

RIP Pace Gilligan, he will be remembered by his close friends in the mountains Jared Leto, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Bobby De Niro

Tori Lynn

I look up a lot of facts during social interactions, and it's nice to see that represented in Firesides 😆

Richard Rogers

Anyone else getting some audio issues around 45 minutes?

Daniel B

Sounds like a job for the Dungeons and Daddies crew. Maybe a crossover episode?

Connor

We are the reason we get “if you’re defending the core of your beliefs, you’ve given up too much ground.” in the same episode we get “shoot up a club with a nerf gun of cum.”? Anyone know if they’re planning a ten dollar tier?

Rachel Pederson

i needed this chaotic boost this morning

LSky670

I love when it gets so chaotic thst they barely talk about the episode 😆

Ashe Crimson

I’m gonna be listening to NIN all day today lmao, what a great and chaotic fireside

Micah Butts

I immediately went to fact check the BF Goodrich naming thing. I was in the middle of scrolling the Wikipedia as he revealed it was bullshit. BRENNAN WON’T GET ME ANYMORE.

Alex Willging

Imagine sending someone a zero-context picture of a hen with the caption: "No. Loose. Ends."

Riley Crowder

@Aabria- Who let Brennan be in charge of this one? You did....by immediately calling nosegoes. Now you suffer. :) We love you.

Justin Gray

This is exactly what we pay for, Pace Gilligan ADRing the step by step process for how he takes his lil socks off in great detail. 5 bucks well spent.

KeevZilla

I worked in a nursing home so I can confirm old people be fuckin ALL. THE. TIME.

evi

yes! I thought my headphones were giving up on me so I’m glad to know it wasn’t just me

AbsitInvidiaVerbo

This is already like $50 content. Imagine if they could go even harder, we wouldn't survive

Richard Rogers

It happened last fireside too, around the same time, but only when I was listening on Google podcasts for some reason

AbsitInvidiaVerbo

"I SAID, DO YOU KNOW WHAT EATS ME OUT FROM THE INSIDE" - Brennan Lee Mulligan, 2023

Michael Link

I guess licensing NIN wasn't that expensive LOL

Sander Goldman

I nearly spit up my coffee and fell over on my walk at the nerf gun comment im very glad no one was near me

FootnoteLovenote

Brennan falling down a transhistorical Wikipedia wormhole spurred by zippers was extremely relatable.

Alison O'Connor

"That's not where a wand would feel good" had me fully on the ground, these streets INDEED

CarpeBootium

I want to thank Taylor for the closing music because between Thomas O’Malley, the Nerf Gun, Aabria’s wand shennanigans, and it eats me out from the inside (How?)…I needed that, and a smoke.

CarpeBootium

I’m pretty sure a $10 tier would require a psych eval and a liability waiver. SIGN ME UP!

Stephanie Hoffman

This Fireside Chat reminded me of the best evenings hanging out with my friends. The outro had me screaming, to this dismay of my dogs. Thank you for the welcome chaos.

Ignacio Segura Montero

Lou is STILL in Panamá??? Damnit, I need to go NOW!!! There’s no time!!!! What direction is the border????

Micah Baird

OMG! So much. Fun fact: 1. University of Akron mascot “the zips” I believe is named after “zippers” - rubber shoe covers made by Goodrich that you zipped on over your shoes to keep them dry. Also, thank you Taylor for NIN. Hope you made it under the time limits to pay for the rights, but if you didn’t it was worth whatever the cost!!!!

magicguy38

I'm also on Google podcasts and the same happened to me!

Tristan Hull

Does anyone else desperately want Taylor to be a guest PC in WWW?

Hannah

Elementary school teacher here: There were definitely "silly geese" in Charlotte's Web, or at least they have been played that way in a lot of adaptations. In the book they just happen to repeat parts of what they are saying three times. I do much prefer the geese from Aristocats though.

Christie Joesbury

Can we get a part 3 with more audience questions about the show? But also this was fun.

annemjw

There is no possible way I could have predicted that ending, you glorious hooligans

annemjw

Oh I thought that was just me!

Brion Harpring

Will Erika's Rules be available? WIll it be before or after we get the Witch Class?

sammatage

This was just as chaotic as the game itself. Also, I am now adding "shooting the club with a nerf gun of cum" to my warm-up repertoire

Caroline

That was so expertly unhinged.

Morslupus

If you haven't ended up listening to this yet, I would highly advise NOT listening to it whilst on a treadmill. Nearly collapsed from laughter a few times.

Brim's Workshop

Trying not to cackle maniacally in public while listening to this. Pure unhinged joy

Christine May

You all need to know that the "how do you take socks off" question ripped apart my coworkers at a work event last night, haha!

Cherie Lovell

Why am I not shocked that Lou and Brenan were part of Story Pirates? My kid (now teen) and I used to love to listen to that podcast!

Karen mc donnell

Literally having to pause the *intro* so that I can stim out all the excess energy from my body as its trying to deal with how hilarious yet relatable the conversion about removing socks is 😄😄😄😄

Konner

Laughed so loud at one point my neighbour texted to make sure I was okay

Sami

Haven't laughed that much in ages 🤣

Song-Kinsley Productions

Erika said "Harry Potter fanfiction forums" and I heard the Kill Bill sirens... IFKYK

OrangeHills

Brennan, respectfully, sex demon facts?

Jules Vance

LOVE when a conversation just turns into a Wikipedia odyssey. It’s interesting and fun and I’m not sorry about it.

Hex Sharpe

Brb getting friends to subscribe to the patreon with out of context quotes like "I'ma shoot up the club with this fuckin nerf gun of cum I have"

Geek Without A Fandom

I also always thought it was "pushing up my buttons" and to think none my friends ever corrected me 😳

Peydon Bush

I always knew Brennan and I take our socks off the same way

Joy Dertinger

“Do you know what really eats me out from the inside” has been living rent free in my head for DAYS

RoseWitch

Dear gods I would double my patreon subscription just to hear the gang chat about stories and the philosophies of narrative for hours. Just these awesome people talking casually about their incredibly insightful ideas about storytelling. 10/10, who needs rails here by the fireside.

Maddox K Pennington

I’m working my way through Adventuring Academies and on the first ep Brennan and Aabria did, she says how much she enjoys a heist game where henchmen pick eachother off and then at the last minute the final henchman is retconned to be the villain the whole time!!!! It makes me goofy happy to see how many long held plans and wants are being realized on WBN

Sharp

The whiplash i get from these episodes is like a roller coaster in the comfort of my own home

froggie with a hat

I’m glad I listened to this one at home and not in public because I was laughing so hard at “eat me out from the inside” and the pushin up my buttons bit. The outro was the best part though.

Nyctef

This was an amazing episode for so many reasons, but for some reason the one that stuck in my head was "Everyone in the past is an *absolute* dullard". It's such a good Suvi line!

RahneFace

This is so truly chaotic 😂

Stephanie

Y'all can have my everything.

LightningIdle

As an ace listener, it restored years of my life when they used “desexualized” instead of “asexualized” bc it is so exhausting when ppl conflate the two 😂

June Walker

I was just listening to the idioms part 12 episode of the Shmanners podcast and they were talking about the idiom get your goat, and apparently thoroughbred race horses and goats have a long-standing friendship apparently the goats keep the thoroughbreds from getting so anxious - who knew?

Mara Johansen

On Brennan: I thought I couldn’t love Brennan more, but then he analyzed grammar. Yay.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

So if someone "gets your goat," they have kidnapped your racehorse's emotional support animal to upset the horse before the race? How devious. I always thought it just meant annoying someone, not trying to induce a panic attack

Carrie Mook Bridgman

It's so much fun to hear the glee with which Brennan dives into full subversion the second he's not in charge.

Dillon Ard

When BLM brought up the Drag Race, I did not assume the car version

Andrea Dietrich

It's become a running gag among my gaming friends: we were in a VtM LARP, and a car filled with 7 powerful Tremere got a flat. We all stood around because not one of us knew how to change a tire! #xpchoices

harjoe

old people shooting "nerf guns full of cum" has been sitting in my head since this episode aired. gods bless whoever has to write that for the episode transcript soon <3 i'm gonna frame that one.

jbyrd

I just saw the movie The witch, and got all of the black Phillip references and quotes... So ridiculous to bust up laughing in that movie, The people around me are like "why are you laughing"?

A

I love this podcast so much, and I could also listen to another entire podcast of all of you just sitting around talking about random topics. It's just perfect.

Andrew Behr

There is nothing I want more than a "No loose ends" shirt with a chicken on it.

Skye Smith

Did they ever actually link to the roll for shoes ruleset? I know Erika made some modifications, and I'd love to see what rules they were working with

Amy The Cool

I know it's not in written form but they explained it well in the prelude but if you search RollforShoes.com you can get the basic rules

TehKri

I'm in the sphere of a few nsfw actual play groups, and I swear, most of our gameplay isn't any hornier than this or Crit Role XD

Cur

THE ENDING. I can perish happy now.

Amer

Hey, I don't know where to ask that. Can I find somewhere, infos on the game mechanics that Erika used? the flashback ability works so well with the genre of the story!! I love it

Sarah E

truly nothing could have prepared me for this entire episode

Nobody

So kind of sad they didn't talk much about the game either session that being said I was dying from laughter and wouldn't have it any other way this fireside was an absolutely unhinged pleasure and the world is better for it existing

Elizabeth Boskey

As someone who has spent a lot of her life talking and writing about sex, I appreciate y'all so much. (And also Erika bringing up the issue of STDs in nursing homes)

Elizabeth Boskey

A friend of mine just invited me to play in a PG Wodehouse TTRPG using roll for shoes... and then was shocked and amazed that I knew what roll for shoes was thanks to this insane madness of a game and a podcast.

Yin

the vocal warmups actually fucking destroyed me, holy fucking shit

CoolioAsh

Nobody fucks in movies anymore I totally hear you

milo

the way i was on the wikipedia article for zippers two weeks ago because my friends and i had this exact same question… earlier than we all thought

John EldenRing

Have never been happier with a five dollar purchase than being able to hear “Shooting up the club with a nerf gun of cun”

Cackle Cackle

I am really happy to hear Brennan’s sock system and I am trying to forget Aabria and Pace’s methods.

KitsuneChibiko

Hello, everybody! I've just recently found out that Worlds Beyond Number exists, and I have been DEVOURING content since. Just wanted to chime in with a cute moment. So, I've been listening to the podcast at work with my bluetooth earphones. But sometimes the bluetooth disconnects without me noticing, and when I click play, my computer starts BLASTING the podcast. It's usually nothing too terrible, but this time my computer just shouted, "The Aristocats be FUCKIN'!" Which. Is hilarious and mortifying.

Megan

Ok so I know I'm years too late, but at least on Tumblr, one of the big things behind the whole "desexualize everything" movement with so-called progressives was that fictional sex somehow got tied up with exploitation and abuse. Like even writing NSFW fanfic was suddenly being skewed as like, forcing characters to perform sex acts against their will. It's fucking *wild*. And it just spun out from there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lulu

Im years behind but, THE SOCK THING (individual idiosyncrasies are wonderful and sometimes hilarious) I just need to know if anyone else just presses their foot into the floor and drags their foot backwards, leaving the sock flat & rightside out on the floor? (All of my friends think its a magic trick)

Hunter Morgan

Newscaster intro phrases: Did you know that school staff does this with each other? We'll go up to someone and say a student's first and last name, then ask our question. "Aniyah Johnson. What class is she in right now?"

aest.est

I’m listening to this years later, and I feel obligated to say; Lou said my birthday!!
