My favorite fireside tradition is easily Brennan fighting for his life to not RUDELY laugh at our illustrious guests introduction
Fangs of Elk
WWW parade mashup?
Alyssa
Brennan says we’ll never know what was waiting in Haliker Forest for them, so thank goodness they did “OTHER TOMORROWS” and tell us! Thank youuuuu ☺️
Ian Roberts
Aabria understood the LOTR reference!
Scott Miller
Just listening to this and struck by Brennan not realizing mesquite thorns actually have a bit of venom that makes them hurt all the more.
Trey Lord
"Schrōdinger's Gom Jabbar" has made every single monthly payment worth it.
Wesley Jones
"I'm gonna show ya a trick ma taught me when you weren't around"
DeVonte Skillern
Isn't the ability Brennan described just the mislead spell?
Erin Michelotti
I will absolutely be chilling with Erika’s girlfriend at the club. Lofi beats & tea while all my extroverts dance? Yes please
Just_another_queer
"I went home" is the most correct answer
Lulu
It would be a /hot/ bumper sticker
Molly mc
Archmage Fieri of Flavortown is my favourite thing ever
Madeline Salter
@4:38 not the saucery XD
aych
i was not prepared to have Ralph Bakshi's Wizards referenced in the fireside holy shit
Rachel
I just realised as I listen to the fireside chat that I have always pictured the man in black in Westworld as the man in black here as well.
Swiftly Murmurs
The great bullfrog is the great spirit worshiped in Twelvebrooks who blessed one of the main characters of that episode. He's just been stone cold murdered by Suvi's boss
The Pompous Peasant
I've listened to twelve brooks but don't understand the bullfrog thing. Somebody explain? Thanks!
Em
“*Wheeze* Buckles” sent me into a taaaaaaailspin!!!!!!!!!!!! My sides hurt from laughing so hard!
Theo Lee
Finally catching up and today I learned that Wizards is Mark Hamill's movie debut (came out around the same time he was cast as Luke Skywalker)
Prof_Bahamut
So, we all heard magic mouth and thought something different right? Right? 🥴🥹
Vanessa Seatang
after listening to the firesides i am now fully committed to burning down the citadel
The Wizard Sopor
Oh nooo. Oh god, you’re probably right.
Sam Berry-Sullivan
Not even ten minutes in to this and there have been two bits so legendary, so phenomenally funny, I still have not recovered: The Spice Mages and Schrodinger’s Gom Jabbar
Bizarre Little Star Creations
Omg Wizards shout out! 😂 I saw that movie much too young and my family quotes it so much. THEY GOT FRITZ! THOSE LOUZY STICKING YELLOW FAIRIES!
Andrew Gribat
OK this is my first time hearing of this person, but the Prince's hair is DEFINITELY that good!
Andrew Gribat
I mean unless Sir Curran got spirited away to the spirit realm or otherwise put in stasis (by a witch?), he's super dead by aging if nothing else.
LowJay
Thanks much
TētēKura
Within the world of Umora, there are many great spirits, with some holding very close relationships with mortals. The great bullfrog is a spirit from around Twelve Brooks (where we be going), who's magic seems to be connected to some of the local people, giving them the ability to do frog stuff (swim, croak, bubble magic, etc?). It was revealed in episode 40 that the Citadel has been taking the local people and their children who show that frog magic.
TētēKura
I was convinced Lou *cought* sorry, Philip Orca was making up the final scene details about Wizards 1977. Well, having gone and watched that scene. Wow. What a film. Praise be the most leprechaun looking gun wielding wizard hitting his brother with, "im glad you changed your lastname you son of a bitch".
John Bigelow
Detect Alignment for a Party would be awesome
LowJay
Newb here. Who are kids that need rescuing and where did the come from?
RNietzsche
Tamori are made out of people/spirits. Calling that shot.
The Wizard Sparrow
Great fireside chat as always 🦊🔥. I like molasses cookies too.
Daniel Arriola
Lou broke Character!!
P. Cornielius
The fireside where they discuss Abassin? It was the act of that Adina casting sheild on one of the constructs Brennan had said iirc
Jayden Hurst
When was it stated that Adina has to fall in love to cast shield?

“Eursulon is desperately reaching for anger and rage and cannot find it. Whatever kind of red molten feeling he wants to have, it is replaced by the clear white feeling of purpose.” Hello friends, I hope you are told often and effusively about what your work means to people. But, if you’ll allow me, I want to thank you one more time and share what the world of Umora has meant to me. Working at a refugee agency in Indiana right now is, frankly, bad. Your story (while not exactly a stress free place), has been a port in the storm of news and doomscrolling and fear. I began listening to the Children’s Adventure in November, in a moment when human goodness or kindness felt a million miles away. The story you created was a slow, quiet, safe place to grieve. In a long series of bleak moments, it was also an escape into delight and the promise of something that felt like hope. In my work, I get to call families and tell them that after years or decades of waiting, their loved ones are finally escaping to safety. That there is a flight booked with a seat for them. Your stories were in my ears during the late-night holiday airport pick ups, calming my frazzled and overworked nervous system as we worked long hours to get people to safety before the doors closed. And then, after the 20th, after I broke the news to parents, children, siblings, grandparents, and dear friends of people who had their flights canceled overnight, your stories of resistance and kindness in the face of cruelty were waiting for me. I hope everyone on your team knows how precious their art is: from the four of you who act; to those of you on music, editing, and sound effects; to those of you who run numbers and logistics and social media and probably many other jobs that are necessary in creating something so beautiful. You are doing something miraculous in the world. Or, at least, your story has done something miraculous in me. It’s been holding a space for hope. And I’m so grateful. Malaina
Ruvi
The silence reveal has me Shooketh
Matt
Yo, @Matthew B, are these posted anywhere that’s easier to copy-paste-save for later?
Brett Seivwright
I’ll just wait here until the matcha cookie recipe is up
Chris Maier
The music! This is TLDR, probably but: I got to visit Sweden last summer, to go to a bunch of locations from a computer game series I've been playing for like 20 years (MDNA's Carol Reed series), and walking around Sweden was wonderful. So, I was walking in my PNW neighborhood listening to "Peace and Quiet", and the vibe in the forest scene, and the music in that scene, fully sent me back to wandering around in Sweden. Amazing. Love the show, love the music, you guys are awesome.
Jake
I thought the Tamori next to the prince was revivify
Maya M
I can't wait to watch this excellent recommendation 🤣
Manzabar
My question on this was if Erika really does make a Bene Geserit IT support character; will they be some sort of artificer? Or perhaps more appropriately, a cleric of a dark god? As it usually takes some form of blood sacrifice to fix IT issues?
Manzabar
I initially did, but noticed the episode notes were updated to mention working audio. I deleted the file I'd previously downloaded, pulled down a fresh copy, and then it worked.
Rick
“There is a certain place at which we have to presume that the rules for D&D are only the rules for brave and heroic adventures.” I am making a guidebook for my homebrew campaign to give to my players as a wrap gift and the last 10-15 pages deal with the contradictions in the world and this amazing cast just knocked it out of the park and summarized it in a 2 min conversation around this quote. You all are amazing inspirations, and it is an honor to get listen to you perform your craft. Thank you.
Moss
I love that all their party spell answers are about how to best leave the party 😂
DaphneDawn
The Archmage Silence
DaphneDawn
Same Phil Orca got me hard with that line
DaphneDawn
Oh my goodness when Brennan said he knows what was waiting for them in the heart of the forest! Anyone else low-key think it was Sir Curran? That still hasn’t been revealed to the PCs yet and would have been sick as hell in every sense
Andrew Gribat
The right wing has done enough "Trigger warning: list of things that aren't triggering" jokes they weren't funny there and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth now.
Andrew Gribat
Hey I know y'all didn't mean anything by it, but can you not use content warnings as a place to make jokes? It wouldn't be acceptable if it was labeled as a trigger warning, which is the term that content warning replaced. MBMBAM labels them as "talking points" which works just as well to set up the list of oblique, funny bit names without doing the bad thing.
Kevin Turner
It’s telling how rich this episode was that in the fireside we got barely if any mention of our (clearly played by JK Simmons) prison buff Merlin and new addition to “Brennan why you so good at making up wizards” the Wizard Slain. I need to hear more about the Wizard Slain
Hat
I really hope we get a soundtrack, I’m still stuck on the themes from WitchCon (Hakea’s/Woodland Green Waltz SLAPS-) and The Great Bear, Taylor is a GENIUS
Lee
You can rent wizards on prime and youtube and apple tv
Ajax0fSpartax
I can’t wait for the day that we find out that one of the strongest wizards of the citadel, (like the wizard swish or something) is a wish spell tomori and can cast any spell because of it.
Jessica Cola
All the talk of parades in the fireside had me thinking of 'Built Then Burnt [Hurrah! Hurrah!]' by Thee Silver Mt. Zion - Let's have a parade. It's been so long since we had a parade, so let's have a parade! Let's invite all our friends. And all our friends' friends! Let's promenade down the boulevards with terrific pride and light in our eyes: twelve feet tall and staggering.. Sick with joy with the angels there and light in our eyes. https://youtu.be/bKQWYFHt560

Don't lie to us about soft cookies... Silence is a Palpatine snake in the water. Silence is full of snakes.

Sound track. Sound track. Sound track. please.
Matthew B
The audio is a little messy. Better to clean it up a little and paraphrase in text: "Rather than giving you sadness, I hope that this gives you a clear white feeling of purpose." -Brennan Lee Mulligan But you could also take solace in some of these others: "Action is the antidote to despair." -Joan Baez "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." -Martin Luther King, Jr. "Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair." -Elie Wiesel "History has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own. -Michelle Obama "Despair and frustration will not shake our belief that the resistance is the only way of liberation." -Emile Lahoud "We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure." -Cesar Chavez "To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing." -Raymond Williams
Princess Sparklefart
Is there any way you can clip the part where Brennan was talking about converting their rage into purpose? I want to share that far and wide.
Launchpad
The psychic damage i took listening to everyone talk about the weird animated movie my burnout dad showed me as a kid, was *immense*
Sam Satalic
The sound design/music sets the scene so well in each episode and adds so much depth to each scene. It's so good, and it inspired me to get into sound as well!
JUST anxious
Just in case you wanted too, wizards is free to watch on the internet archive.
susan tiss
Living for the Wizards reference!! I was 10 or 11 years old (I turned 11 that summer) when Wizards was released. My younger brother and I were visiting grandma (in a somewhat small town with a nearby multi-screen movie theater) and we convinced her to drop us off at the movie theater. It was a time when adults didn't necessarily go to the movies with their older children AND a time when an almost 11 year old was certainly expected to watch out for her younger brother (he was 9). We bought tickets to some kids movie, I don't remember which. Then, we snuck into Wizards. I have seen it a few times since and it is quite clear that seeing that movie at that age really shaped me. **A friend and I used a similar tactic a few months before (back home... not at grandma's) to see The Man Who Fell To Earth with David Bowie.

"I want to take [that grille] out of her face!!" With your face? 😏🤭
TrashCritical
Boufon here absolutely delighted by the answers tiny hut duplicate and magic mouth are all just poifect choices. Mine will always be mage hand. Get drinks for people without leaving your spot hold your friends hair back from a distance cover your drink with it so no one can mess with it, truly the goat when it comes to like any practical use.
Jason Land
Yup. I’ve listened to all of their previous episodes just fine on Pocket Casts but this one is just silence.
Kat Martinez
I do this too!
Tristan Louet
I was just thinking that the other day! I'd listen to an OST album for sure 😌😊
shubidoe
In the rage to purpose talk brennan says: the white (gets cut off). and my brain autocompleted to the white house. and i felt that a lot
Joseph
Same. The dead air audio on Pocket Casts is still the same.
Billy Bryan
Same issue here.
Channing Kimble-Brown
I'm having the exact same issue! Guess I'll just listen on the patreon app for now
Pretty Penny
Is anyone else having trouble listening to this episode using the RSS feed through Pocket Casts app (Android default casting app)? There's no audio for me. Other episodes are fine. Tried downloading, checking BlueTooth, scrubbing, rebooting phone—all my usual troubleshooting to get past a bug. Nothing has worked so far this time.
Brian Bunton
That’s annoying ☹️
Glen Petrofski
Also, ANZAC biscuits for the win. The best you will find that is super easy to make and if I remember correctly the base for milk bar pie.
Glen Petrofski
It's funny because I know what spell I wish I could have at parties but know deep down that I would actually use teleport because I have a habit of there just being a switch that gets flicked and I just go straight to bed. It is especially bad when we are entertaining and I hit that because I just go straight to bed leaving my partner to deal with everyone. Worst part is I didn't realise I did it until it was brought to my attention a few years ago.
Milan Ohrndorf
With this comment I hope to pressure you in the kindest way possible, to release a soundtrack for the music made by taylor moore, because i really really really really really really really need it in my life and in my ttrpg games. I always search google for some of the soundtrack by him, knowing I will probably be left empty. love your podcast, love your story and love the direction in editing and music/sound taylor gives to everything! Kindest regards from me!
Mike Elliott
I can't believe you guys were able to get Phillip Orca on the show! I remember first seeing him star in the knockoff 90s movie "Free Philly" 🐋
Joshua rassier
THEY KILLED FRITZ!

Annika Kandoll
I was picturing it animated, not cause I knew it was, but because Ralph Bakshi also did a lord of the rings film and *that* was animated.
Aviva
I *literally* thought about forgetting “um, actually” in bed last night. Lost opportunity, for sure.
Benny Rodriguez
Honestly when I saw the title was called "peace and quiet" I thought that you were just trying to give me an hour of that...
kaguya_yoru
This episode and fireside was yet another example of what I love best about The Wizard, The Witch, and the Wild One: the four of you are truly building a complex, living, breathing world together and then on top of that, through interludes and secret scenes in episodes, we the audience are invited to immerse ourselves fully in that world by knowing things that the main characters (or even the actors playing them!) don't know. This truly feels like a masterclass in storytelling and every main and fireside episode has been a joy to listen to and even more fun to analyze. ❤️ Also, the best party spell is Heroes' Feast: curing all poison has to mean an instant sobering up and then you can fall asleep happy and full when the party is over. 🥰
Ayan Jama
Me listening to that entire wizards expose then googling it and finding out it’s ANIMATED I had to restructure all my emotions in a second flat I was fully imagining a cross between labyrinth and the dark crystal
Eric Davies
This also didn't work on Castbox, it was just a full silent file.
The Witch of Warp and Weft
The lack of music in the outro hit me so hard that I legitimately can’t remember any of the music from the rest of the show. That was painful….
Ayan Jama
Well indri was almost on the list so he should be relieved by her backup
Carrie Mook Bridgman
I looked up shawarma. Now I have to try to find a shawarma in Louisville, KY, because it sounds incredible.
Carrie Mook Bridgman
Sometimes the guest is just for the Fireside, talking about Lou's performance in the episode. Sometimes it was the guest performing. And sometimes they forget during the Fireside which it was.
Joshua Tewell
Same problem. Podcast downloads but then just skips through 10 seconds at a time and never plays. Just this episode. Have tried re-downloading it and even reinstalling pocket casts.
Carrie Mook Bridgman
Mine was Suvi's conversation with Steel. The noticeable change in her keeping a secret and doing that insight check, and the music behind it--while at the same time she's still "I love my mommy" at Steel's understated but clear response to Rasper.
marmot
I'm experiencing the same thing on Pocket Casts sadly, haven't figured out a solution yet.
Worlds Beyond Number
Hey Benedict, we can only control things on Patreon. Any problems with a specific podcatcher will need to be solved on your end. Try deleting and redownloading the ep. Hope this helps! -t
Kelsie Crawford
The Citadel of Flavortown is in Comida and no one can tell me otherwise
Carrie Mook Bridgman
Re: refuge from an overstimulating party or concert, I fall asleep. My husband loves heavy metal music, and I will sometimes go to a concert with him, but after half an hour of physical assault by sound waves, I shut down and fall asleep.
Benedict Lelijveld
This wasn't working on pocketcast just FYI

fantastic point certainly not me

Whos phone rang at 33:10?

So nice of Lou to pop in at 32 min for the horny portion of the chat
Ashlie Stuckey
Okay, so my partner picked up a copy of Wizards 1977 about six months ago and I have watched it like four times since he got it. I'm obsessed with this absolute mindfuck of a movie. Details that Brennan forgot because why the fuck would he remember this movie is a fever dream: 1. They DO actually talk about how Blackwolf (bad wizard) and Avatar (gnome wizard) are brothers in the exposition at the very beginning. Nothing about this exposition matters at all until the last 5 minutes of the movie. 2. This is Mark Hamill's first film. He did a voice for it during the filming of the first Star Wars movie. 3. Originally, the film was supposed to be called War Wizards, but George Lucas asked them the change the name for obvious reasons. 4. The wiggly 70s funk music they use in the war scenes and throughout is amazing and completely does not fit the vibe. There's so much more to be said about this fucking film, and I completely disagree with Brennan, ya gotta watch it once. The art throughout is really well done and it is just such a fun watch. Invite some friends over, get some pizza, and just enjoy the art that is Wizards 1977.
Lo
Brennen talking about being at a party and wanting to message people about needing to go is SO RELATABLE.

I deleted and redownload the episode on Podcast Addict and that gave me the fixed version. It'll say at the top of the episode description if it's the version with the fixed audio.
Ickle Tayto
While it's been fixed on here, it doesn't appear to have been fixed on the podcast apps
Shriek the Mighty
Looks like this was fixed right as I made my comment! Thank you!
Shriek the Mighty
Is anyone else just... not able to hear anything? I'm not hearing any audio at all when I try to listen through Podcast Addict, or on the mp3 I downloaded onto my computer. Listening directly through patreon is the only way I can actually hear the episode.
Brandon Carbaugh
Bene Geserit IT got me good. On a headset in a call center in a giant black habit. Caller's like, "No, I have my hand in the box now; it's not doing anything." "Did you do the Litany? If you didn't do the Litany, you need to unplug the box, do the Litany, then plug it back in."
KRMorris
God damn y’all this Wizards tangent does NOT disappoint. I haven’t seen this movie since I was (too young) and it’s amazing to me how much I remember just by the fucked up hits they discuss. Whew.
samp
i'd be sobbing the entire time
Strange Universe
I'm sorry, Aviva but you didn't say 'um, actually' so no points.
PhillyMoe
Whole crowd gonna collapse at the Rain Road
Strange Universe
Watch Coonskin...you'll either turn it off immediately or become radicalized.
Strange Universe
Absolutely. It also made me want to check out the rest of the works of Ralph Bakshi. "Oh, he did a Tolkien movie, cool. Oh, he did a cartoon called Fritz the Cat? Oh my I'm way too you g to see this!" And later on at a more appropriate age I saw Coonskin and got my ass radicalized LOL
Matt Rise
I watched Wizards when I was way too young and it definitely shaped something in me.

WBN soundtrack concert tour when

In terms of turning injustice into purpose, especially the way these folks do, I would highly recommend “Never Say You Can't Survive: How to Get Through Hard Times by Making Up Stories” by Charlie Jane Anders
GC
Movie highly recommended, you'll never really stop watching it
GC
Hey, great episode! +1 to Leomund's Tiny Hut as a party spell. I had the sudden realization while listening that mine manifests as the nurse's hut from Sleep No More
Seth Alan Squires
Both Brennan and Mr Orca used "Lou" to refer to him this episode. It was like watching Santa's beard slip.
Aviva
Just gotta let that mesquite wound fester.
Anthony Smith
Oh Brennan… After all of the gifts you have bestowed upon us you have now given knowledge of Wizards.... I have no more personality. I have experienced full ego death. I no longer exist outside of my knowledge of that trailer
Aviva
I hope Lou puts that one in his pocket.
Aviva
The great houses had gom jabbar as well. Only the Bene Gesserit use it in conjunction with the box o’ pain.
Aviva
Dude, fuck Guild Mage Fieri. Going around leaving arcane glyphs on people’s restaurants.
Ajax
You get the point I would have gotten, I think.
Felix
EVERYONE'S GOT A PARADE!!!
Aviva
Do I get bonus pedant points for correcting a correction? In any case, the gom jabbar wasn’t used solely by the Bene Gesserit. You’re right about it being the poisoned needle though!
Aviva
At his neck, not the throat.
Aviva
Make sure you fly the next time you go to Tijuana. 😂
Aviva
Hell yeah. Text sometimes and aggressively wave the phone and point to it. 😄
Aviva
You got this. And we’ve got you. Thank you for your wonderful efforts. 🏳️⚧️
Aviva
Definitely my proposal for this week’s movie night!
Aviva
I can see it. Bro’s nose is aquiline AF.
Dream Wizard Kyle Arca
Brennan: "You shouldn't watch Wizards" Me, who just borrowed it from a friend because the ONLY scene I've seen is the ending they talk about: 👀😅

Brandon Brewer
Speaking as a man who's lived in Louisiana for his whole life, we love a parade!
Chris Kagamine
I love that even before the Fireside, I KNEW the prince was a twink (it does not help that my most recent intake of Princes are the Webtoons: "The Blind Prince", "High Class Homos", "Castle Swimmers", and "The Remarried Empress". So, picturing him as a tall slender man with slightly feminine features is how I picture princes. I guess I have a prince type)
August Scott
Same here on Pocket Casts

Brennan I have loved the climax to Wizards from the moment I watched it way too young at way to late at night!!

I wonder if anybody else has been a hipster in DC, heard Erika's description of the chill tent, and immediately remembered Food For Thought (iykyk)
Jazz
The meme of the two books side by side, one is thick and one is thin, above which reads "WBN if the Man in Black has a gun vs not"
Jazz
I'm thinking something like a cinnamon shawarma full of comfort and flavor that makes you happily melt.

Thanks for what you're doing, from a trans 🩷🩵🤍

Trick magic item is a very fun skill in pathfinder, as well as there being class specific skills, like Kineticist can use any magic item that’s of the elements they can bend

If Silver is worth anything he would not only approve of the prince as Suvi's hall pass but would wear it as a badge of honor

Right there with you on that discussion about clarity in sight of horror. Solidarity to all of you.

Anybody else not getting any audio when trying to play the ep on PocketCasts? I can listen here so it's nbd, just letting y'all know!
Alec Simkiss
He straight up is just from The Dark Tower series. I want to hear Brennan and the sound design say "I do not kill with my gun, he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart."
Emily Mitchell
Philip "Magic Mouth" Orca himself, wow
Connor Sponsler
He's got the gun from the slinger and the vibe of the villain
Lucas Nguyen
without looking at anyone else's comments or any other page I always thought it was spelled "timori"
bails 🌀 witch of the what the fuck
sorry about everyone else’s fancasts but the Prince is so clearly Belgian musician Tamino. he was barely described in the ep and yet in my mind’s eye 💭😗👌🏻
Levi Dettling
The man in black with a gun gives Dark Tower vibes.
Ashley Teatum
I just started the episode and now I can't wait to understand this logic, I adore Janeway 🖖

Hang in there. Thank you for what you do 💙🩷🤍🩷💙

Captain Castway just reminds me of Janeway no matter what you say tbh

I am sure the Great Bullfrog just got banished. They're doing fine in the Spirit World.

I can’t be the only person who immediately purchased the movie Wizards.
Elizabeth Boskey
Damn it. I managed not to burst into tears until the end because I'm so scared but also I'm a trans health researcher and all I can do is The Work and...I need the glow
Riley Crowder
Message Cantrip is also my immediate party spell effect. The thing i hate the most at a loud concert or busy party is trying to tell over the crowd. At a show my default action is always to text people rather than trying to yell over the show. I also love Abriaias disguise self becuase then I wouldn't have to put the effort into dressing up.
Connor Sponsler
Fighting Captain Castway "Don't fire until you see the glint of her grill"

Absolutely incredible as always
Rover Bernhard
Hell yeah San Diego shoutout!
Julia Whitmore
The immediate screams from Erikaabria when Brennan told them the grill was for intimidation. So true besties.
Ajax
Um, Actually... the Gom Jabbar was the poisoned needle held to Paul's throat. The box is part of the "Gom Jabbar Test", but it is not, itself, the Gom Jabbar. Get in the comments!

The Ok Heifertoad, the Great Bullfrog understudy
Zero the counting Counterspell was my favorite
Elana Kadish
yeah pocket casts seems to be having trouble replacing the original upload with the updated version. in my experience it usually takes them a few hours and it should sync up eventually tho
Patrick
For anyone still having an issue, what worked for me was removing the download and marking the ep as played. Then repulling the ep and restarting. (Anything else seemed to just resume the silent version even though it had been marked removed)
Liana Twente
Yes, and the title gave me pause too.
The Pompous Peasant
Yus!!!!!¡
Dylan Hunter
Is anyone else having trouble playing this one through Pocket Casts? Before checking the comments on here, I thought they'd released a silent episode as a play on "Peace and Quiet"😅

Hold Aabria to posting a cookie recipe!

Great episode! I was sad, but after this fireside I am now filled with Purpose. Thank you Brennan!
Brandon Bicknell
Can we agree that the next non-story related mini campaign or one shot needs to be the "Wizards of Flavortown"
Blake Draut
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION ❤️

For sky’s cut, she needs the wizard slow cook!

"It's so tough too, you just keep putting sick NPCs in front of me that I just go "we're gonna have to kill them."" made me spit out my coffee goddamn
Kaitlyn Julia

The Wizard Smudge

Um, Actually...the Gom Jabbar is the lethal needle used to kill those who cannot master their fear. The box is just "the box."

The Dune / Schrödinger's cat crossover I didn’t know I wanted but desperately needed
JustTaylor37
Thank you for the hot fix!! I needed my heroin😝 jk it’s not like I opened, checked, and closed the app 10 times since I’ve been up🫠
Garrett MacFalda
I'm on pocketcasts and I can't tell if this is a bit like in junior year of fantasy high where I got gaslit into believing there was a Squeem or whoever that I completely missed
Nicholas Savage AKA Eursulon’s knight in training
Ahoohoooo crackle crackle those by the fireside A special thanks to Taylor for dispelling the wizard silence so quickly
India Jane White
Gosh I thought for sure that was on purpose
Matt
I really wish Aiden Comfort was the guest star for this episode
Luke
I agree, Taylor is a mastermind! I remember sitting there with open mouth at the simplistic genius of that move

It's a little thing, but my favorite sound design moment after the prince's introduction is the music when Eursulon is in Bracken, enjoying the play of arcane confetti in the sunlight just before being accosted by Zero. I can *see* Eursulon in slow motion, finally feeling joy seep back in, contentment starting to spread across his features, sun dappling his face and glinting off tiny speckles of confetti, as the tension of the score builds like an undercurrent beneath placid water.

I loved the entirety of the latest episode, but the thing that really got me was the lack of the outro music following the Silencing of the Great Bullfrog. Beautiful touch from Taylor.
samp
yay it works now! thanks y'all!
Molly Gould
Thanks for such a quick fix!
Pyrohydriscence
I loved the bit with Eursulon blending into the forest edge, only able to be seen by the worthy, so many chills from his arc lately!
Seth Alan Squires
While we wait, what's your guess for Lou's guest star name? I'm guessing Elemino P. Cuearez.
Keir Hansen
I officially apologize for whispering something snarky about meta magic transmutation at MSG and drawing the wrath of Brennan’s superhuman hearing. I’m sorry! Please drop concentration on the silence spell!
Gaetan B. Vasse
That’s what Silence would say 🫵
Pyrohydriscence
Poetic cinema!

I kept messing with the settings on my headphones till I finally just tried to listen straight off the phone and was getting all weirded out till I checked the comments
Ician
Couldn't happen on a more fitting episode lol. Good luck with the glitch, no rush, I know from experience it can be very frustrating.
bluebluebutton
🎶but my words like silent raindrops fell🎶
Ali Brown

Sorry gang, something is glitching out with Patreon's audio upload. Working to fix it now! Gotta admit though, it's the PERFECT episode for this.
Mark van Dijken
a whole ep focussed on the wizard Silence, I would like for once to hear about the wizard Sound

Heck, I’m not even mad. That’s amazing!

Alright Silence attacking the great bull frog is one thing but taking out the audio here is just overkill lol
Nicholas Savage AKA Eursulon’s knight in training
But on a real note hopefully they drop the audio today really hoping to get that tamori lore
Faith Benamy
Guys! It’s an experimental dadaist reaction podcast
Ade Munroe
Oh, thank goodness for other eager beavers in the comments ready for the drop also. I thought it might have been just me. No audio!
Nicholas Savage AKA Eursulon’s knight in training
Damn it Silence got to the audio too. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🤣🤣🤣

If this is a practical joke it is both funny and well-executed.

Tzvi
I mean the episode is called peace and quiet
Krystine W.
Damn you, Archmage Silence! You struck again!
SvenTS
Either that or this is Taylor's greatest troll ever following the silence at the end of last episode....
OminousOwl
No sound and it's labeled as last week's. They will fix it soon im sure
SvenTS
Yep no audio on the Patreon feed and download fails from the RSS. Sure they'll catch it soon
mercurialprograde
Audio seems go be missing for me also. Maybe we're just too early.
Pierce
I'm also not hearing anything (I'm on an android)
Stephan Hink
Is there sound on this or is it just me?
SvenTS
