Malta is hot, and she knows it.

Barton Lewis

I joined the Aunty Donna Patreon specifically to watch the rest of this

Dave Davidson

No spoilers but prepare to have your heart wrenched out. Through your anus. By the books I mean.

Amanda Pain

She’s one of your favourites and you just MISSED the liveship traders?? Like I don’t want to be some kind of elitist wank or anything, genuinely, but what did you read that made you go, oh boy this author is a favourite, but without touching on a pivotal series within their largest story? That is WILD to me.

Jono Petreski

More SAMTENT please guys (thats content but instead of con its sam)

Juno

Unfortunately... I really like the sound of these books and I'm going to have to read them now

Jessie

I would legitimately buy a poster of that fucked picture board after all these special interest lectures.

Michelle Goldsmith

I used to be so obsessed with Robin Hobb books. Did not expect a crossover with Aunty Donna.

Daniel Levy

Sam trolls them so good I had to google the author after reading this comment, just to clarify that she exists, and to see if I was also being completely trolled.

Jaidyn

Broden getting distracted by the footy pictures on the board is sending me 🤣

Phill Davies

I'm convinced that these booklets don't exist and Sam fabricated all of this on the spot as a cheeky trick

staplesad

I definitely want to read these now - thanks for the episode and the spoiler warning.

Ross

Borden?

Sim Jyphilis

Sam can be happy in the knowledge that this video did genuinely convince me to start reading Robin Hobb

Pat Anthony

This was unbearable

Josh F

🎶 Serpents to the left of me, pirates to the right, sailing the cursed shores with you 🎶

David Bennett Black

Gay Karl Marx

Camille Rochester

I came on here to specifically say this too haha

Aunty Donna

We're all so happy for him

Noah Pierce

Just started but so happy for Zach

David

Thanks for the spoiler warning Sam, I've never read this series and now I want to!

Pre-show predictions for when broden crashes out 👇👇👇. I say 12 minutes in

Dave Davidson

I look forward to listening however if anyone says an unkind word about Malta I will lose my fucking mind. Malta is a goddess.

Patrick

Holy shit, Peak fantasy explained he'll yeah

xxSw4gl0rdxx

Sorry but did Donna know about the wizardwood from the liveship traders before they were struck by that wizards wood? is that part of the mystery?

SinbadTheGenie

The boys deserve to learn about the whole series. I look forward to the other 4 trilogy/quartet lectures Sam will surely give.

chatswithbob

A fool's errand. But I'm in!

Matt

I got lost 10 minutes in. I got that feeling of unease of someone so interested in one subject, and excited to explain it and myself having no input/idea what the hell they are talking about at all. Excellent stuff

Douglas Chen

Seeing Sam explain a fantasy series made me realize at some point we could see someone try to explain a sci fi series to Mish with SIQ. Please let that happen…

Lee-Anne

I don’t know if Mark intentionally quoted arrested development, but I enjoyed it regardless. Bees?! Beads?!

YorickofJest

Oh my God, Robin Hobb is one of my favorites. Never got around to reading the Liveship Traders, but it's in my bookshelf.

Jay Gillenwater

I knew I could count on Sam to come through with some fantasy bullshit. Also, I'm 100% jumping these to the top of my reading list. I can't believe I haven't heard of these before.

Aunty Donna

Nog

Aunty Donna

There's a spoiler warning that comes up before Sam jumps into heavy spoiler territory. Just skip to the timecode marked and you'll be safe!

CentrallyPlannedEconomyOfIdeas

Hell yes Sammy this is the good shit

Mitch Bayley

Holy shit the madman actually did it!

Sarah

Congrats on the pregnancy Zach you're glowing

Danger Ferret

Legitimate question, does this have significant spoilers for this series? Because if it's something Sam likes and I learn everything about it by watching, that would make me sad.
