Catching up on episodes and heyoooo Guns of the Dawn rec! Absolute banger of a book that should be way more popular.
Ohio? Michigan? Lake Champlain is between New York and Vermont ya flatlander. And yes, even as a native I recognize Champ's just knock-off Nessie.
Tom, I did the exact same thing at 13 and it never grew back. I grow an inverse Hitler, I have the second worst mustache ever.
Which books were recommended within the episode?
Pink Floyd, then Death Grips.
Just take a shower, get out to shave, and get back in to wash it off.
I know we found out what happened to Nick but did we ever find out what happened to Liam? I might be in the minority here but some of his unhinged responses are some of my favorite moments on the show.
He's one of the hosts on Well There's Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters (with slides).

Incredible find!
Finally, I get to learn how to pronounce Przemsysl!
Hot water and bar-soap. Then cream. Use a dollar shave club razor. Shower. Then old school after-shave and just take the 5seconds of burning pain
Hot water & hair conditioner. I use a knife or a really sharp floor scraping razor blade, not because I'm a badass but because I'm lazy and put my self care last on my list of priorities.
Yakult Monster
Good….good
The gonster is already a thing. It's a meme. Had to sensitise my non-irish family to not order it when we had a family function in Ireland last year.
The only Monster in Thailand is grey imports on Shopee/Lazada because of lobbying from the coloured bovine company, I’ve never seen it in a shop. There is however durian flavoured everything. Coffee, cookies, ice-cream, crisps, tea, buns, slushies, chocolate, pies, bread, spreads, creams etc and also scented stuff like soap and candles.
As a Chattanooga native I believe what Nate saw in a Waffle House here!
Yukio Mishima always brings to mind the art of Gengoroh Tagame. It is a sick twisted joke he's put out now 2 very heartwarming books on queer inclusivity & queer families. "Oh my brother's husband was such a tender piece. I wonder what else he's got"
Esoterica! Fuck yeah! Descend to the Throne, beat up angels! Become exalted in god's 12 parasang cock My monster drink is the Salt Lake Snake: monster & Mormon tea
Samwise is the one who suggests potatoes (boiled/mashed/in-stew) would go well with the rabbits Smeagol caught. I know it's not like important but Samwise gamgee quotes are the only thing I have left.
Classically Satyrs are half Donkey not Goat, as the ass was regarded as the hypostasis of masculine lascivousness. The goat, the ram, was seen as maternal or bellicose It only became a goat as Christianity shifted the demonic meanings from the Typhonic Donkey towards the Mendean Goat, & through that the meanings of lascivousness Which is to say: next bit of merch needs to be a fascinus oil lamp or a set of Donkey tintinabula
Out of all of the vet bros I think mandatory funday is the least vet broish bro
Yeah I wouldn’t really lump him in with the rest of the vet bros at all
While on the subject of 'its hard to find unproblematic scifi and fantasy', that's part of why I love Warhammer. Lots of very talented authors in fun settings and they largely don't write things that make you want to check someone's hard drive.
Very much recommend Gotrek and Felix ( Skavenslayer is the best one to start with, the first book is largely a collection of shorts and more books weren't intended when it was written ). Mike Brooks has wrote a couple great 40k books with Necrons and Orkz. ADB, Guy Haley, and John French also generally wrote bangers. Don't start 40k with HH because while there are good books in there, there are also a lot of stinkers. Start with smaller series, like Fabius Bile or something
Left hand of darkness is perhaps the greatest work of sci-fi fiction ever write
Our white middle class family has a goldendoodle named steffie, and I would 100% come back as steffie. We joke that she’s my parents third child
On the topic of book series that everyone should read - The Acts of Caine by Matthew Stover - a four book series that is a wild ride and gets dark but is worth reading
Ok, so they made a little over 30 minutes before mentioning Yukio Mishima. I said I was going to do a shot every time Yukio Mishima is mentioned.
New LLBD challenge; see how long the podcast can go without mentioning Mishima
Shoutout to my late unc who introduced me to Midnight Oil, my "intro to loving music" band. The Clash was also my 1st introduced band, but I didn't understand what Joe was saying until much later.
All I am saying as far as cryptids go: Geoff the talking Mongoose. Was it talking? Was someone throwing their voice? Geoff knows and he ded.
1) milk monster is an liquid you can get in places that allow flavored vape liquid 2) nicotine drinks were almost ready for market in 2001. The idea was that you could take your nicotine drink on a plane where you couldn't smoke. Then 9/11.
Gatorade, redbull, and Vodka is a Gator Bite.
that’s awesome, I seen Kyuss live with the sword like a decade ago. Awesome band.
Rotate an Unc inside your head had me hollering
you guys get so close to inventing fight milk every few episodes
i was a 6 foot twelve year old, shoutout to microplastics
Validation! My cryptid question answered!
As I took a bite of toast as Tom told about front piece that. I had to hold that in my mouth without swallowing to prevent choking.
If you wanna hear about it again, The Worst of All Possible Worlds episode on Blasphemous 2. Unfortunately, I do not remember how it came up.
Let the theme song play all the way through!
I'm from Chattanooga and my wife and I have waited several hours in the airport waffle house for the plane that took us to our elopment. I'd like to say what nate saw is a unique experience but realistically you can see a pimp smoking a cigarette in any waffle house on God's great earth
My lord I forgot about the earth crisis fsu face tat fool, truly a haunting image
