Fireside Chat for WWW ep25 "The Retinue"

Eggs in a basket :)

I love cooking pancakes just for myself lmao

I don't know what Lou is talking about, but you can't pin whatever trash bag spaghetti he's referring to specifically on white women - spaghetti came from a country of largely white people! Nonna would never!

Erica what do you mean "who sings that?"!

So I have been re-listening to these fireside chat at bed time and last night I have the strangest dream about a large bat that needed to be rescued. Come to find out at 34:36 they talk about a mohbat…too funny.

This fireside should have gone out with “Teenage Dirtbag”

This feels like Lou and Aabria getting revenge for EXU: Calamity. Is it one second yet?

"I love my wife, so I'll never stop using my fingers to help me eat things!" Brennan, my guy

I always thought Ursilon’s sister based her glamour after her escape on the person who saved her who is the person that Syvie also looks like.

I stand in solidarity with Brennan and his soup shrapnel technique.

How dare you all come at me for eating pancakes by myself. IT’S NOT SAD!!

The Mariners call out was incredible. 🤣🤣🤣

I drink my soup out of a cup much to my wife's horror and I tap the bottom never use my finger

I new exactly where Brennan was going because I do the same thing. Heck I even wipe the rim sometimes just because I like the soup

The things I would do for Aabria and Erika’s podcast oml that would be so fun

Waffles > Pancakes.

Parenting is absolutely metal 🤘

Its called a cut in the middle

Kangaroo court KANGAROO COURT

I am sick and nasty af in the sinus right now b/c winter hath hit like Indri's snatch, and the egg in the rice pudding just saved my ass. Onion powder and pepper added to it was 👌🏻

I am with brennan on the soup cup of miso soup. I have done this in my home and will continue to do so.

I love you all. I'm on my second listen through of the campaign & talk backs so far. I don't know how we started answering questions 12 minutes before the end of the talk back episode, but I can't explain how invested I was in the food talk. #justiceforbrennan #fingerfoods #soupscoop

I am forcing myself to listen to the firesides as I go and I had SO much pent up energy cause of the intensity of the episode and there were SO many things I wanted yall to talk about.. but this was better. #justiceforbrennan

The “hey that thing you do is weird” panic directly into calling me out for eating pancakes alone every Saturday

The file for this firesideide kept failing to play or download in my pocket casts so I came to the patreon to listen. I now understand that the files were corrupted in solidarity with Brennan for #soupgate

So I'm in the middle of the actually episode of the www and wonder what ursalon did differnt fron his sister considering we know she has been indoors, eaten food, slept on a bed, ect. What did she do to "be careful to avoid traps"

Alabama toast, because the eggs are in bread.

What is the hand if not the gods-given utensil?

Every time I need to bust a gut laughing I just listen to the first 15 minutes of this, holy shit

Hearing Erika talk about their gf around 27 mins made my heart so happy as a queer person who plays dnd. I just love chill representation

brennan just described exactly what it feels like to be autistic. love this and i respect your soup methods 🤣

15:45 “nobody eats pancakes alone” as i warm up my pancakes as a 25f single person at 5:30 am before heading to work 😅

Schroupnel

Zero talk about the episode, but absolutely one of the best fireside! 😄

I fully stand with brennan in this souo case.

I like you guys and you're very funny but I do really hope the next fireside is more about the episode. You guys are do such a fantastic job of being so dialed in during the show and it's great and my head is filled with all of your beautiful performances and I can't wait to hear about it...

I didn't think this would be the episode that would push me over the line into finally writing a comment but I gotta say, Brennan, that is not how you get soup debris into your mouth. You drink it until the end and then you huck it back dude. Putting your fingers in your soup is like putting your fingers in your nose, best done alone where there's no shame.

Underappreciated moment: they were talking about Hungry Jack pancakes being for a family, and Aabria said "Jack is a surname." There was a lot of humor going on in that moment, so that joke got overlooked. But it was a good one and I wanted to shout it out.

You guys, this is way late, but I’m so happy to hear you all are also the person sitting at the table ravenously hungry.

I’m here for #SoupGate

I’m with Brennan on the fact that if someone points out some social faux pas that I have done thinking it was absolutely normal, I would too be sweating bullets

Nah, I'm with Brennan on this

#IstandwithBrennan

Excuse me, it's called a pig in a blanket, not a egg in a hole😮

omg Brennan

Brennan is correct that is the only way to eat miso soup

Can we exonerate Brennan? Was there any steamed rice?

great episode

I’m with Brennan, miso soup is basically a warm and comforting drink and if there’s some shroupnal remaining then a finger is a convenient way to consume it

Inception more like insouption

Giving my all to manifest Horny Jail, a Podcast Within a Patron-Only Behind the Scenes Podcast of an Actual Play Podcast

Erika and Aabria, please explain to Brennan and [guest] what happened on tumblr on Nov 5 2020. please make your podcast I have a mighty need

The best part of the soup interrogation is everyone continuing Lou's bit of not being Lou for the episode

The fact that Brennan goes from prime ribs to chicken drumstick to "little row of marshmellows" as examples of things one eats with one's fingers.

Awesome ep! But I feel utterly robbed that there was no discussion of what was an *incredible* episode! I mean, I get it, first day of camp and ya'll are having fun but man I wanted to hear Aabria and Erika talk about that fight at the end...

It's been 15 minutes and we're still just giggling from the unhinge, it's my favorite y'all

100% with Brennan, tho Idve just dumped it

I found my DMing thoughts didn't change when I first had my child. It came on gradually but when my child was a year and a half or so things started to really hit differently.

the finger is more efficient

im with Brennan Lee Mulligan in this matter. get the soup how you need to

I also drink miso in a cup or in a bowl, even if there is scallions or little tofu. i also eat my congee like i'm drinking from the bowl if the toppings are chopped small enough. It's much more efficient and less utensils to wash.

I just listened to this for the second time because I NEEDED to laugh after a long day and by gawd did I laugh. Thank you!

On soup drinking etiquette, I would have used my chopsticks that would have come with the take out. But with a lack of chopsticks I would use a finger bud

Okay I would officially listen to a food court spin-off: comedy at its highest art

This was too much fun<3

Mr Mo Johnson, if you're talking about the video I'm thinking of, it was a prank. The family was pretending table spaghetti was a normal practice in order to embarrass their daughter in front of her new boyfriend. Hope this helps!

"Toad in a hole"? -> "Eggs in a basket"

Ah, the time-honored tradition of character assassination (c) on food-related basis :D

Brennan, r u okay

Regardless of marshmallows, I gotta side with Brennan here. It's totally acceptable to use your hands when eating ANYTHING. Just wash your hands before and after eating. I see no problems here, except y'all shaming him for his eating methods. LOL

I don’t want us to overlook the phase “row of little marshmallows” in the list of foods to eat with your hands. What on earth did our boy mean by that?? The idea of having bag of mini marshmallows- not for hot cocoa just to eat. And then instead of eating a handful, lining them up in a row and I guess picking them up one by one? Another thing I demand Brennan explain and justify.

I am 1000% with Brennan on this one lol sorry everyone else, I stand with Brennan

Justice for Brennan. Getting the lil soup bits with your finger is FINE. It's PERFECTLY NORMAL, MO.

This was absolutely the most unhinged fireside yet. They were so far off the rails that I'm not sure trains have even been invented in their world. Loved every minute of it.

I ate pancakes alone this morning. 🤣

#Brennanisright you do drink miso soup! And if I didn't have a spoon I would find a way to eat the soup I would probably lick out the cup though which is arguably more offensive.

I side with Brennan's soup eating method, it's friendly for the planet 🍃

Not sure if this has been said but them mentioning "toad in the hole" I feel like I should specify that it is different from "egg in the hole" as its a sausage placed in a Yorkshire pudding (savory pancake batter that's baked instead of fried) and served with heapings of gravy, it's delicious and a classic British dish!!!

I cannot relate with doing a soup scoop with a finger but the amount of social anxiety from Brennan made me start sweating and panic on his behalf.

“Soup debris” I can’t with Brennan😂

I stand by Brenna’s finger soup choice and my brain went straight there before he said it. It saves getting and washing a utensil and you’re gonna wash your hands anyways! Soup solidarity 💪🏼

eating with your hands should be normalized. eating soup with your hands makes more sense than eating a greasy pizza.

at 9:50 are we sure that Brennan didnt turn into porky the pig because I'm fairly certain that's exactly what happened

Honestly I agree with Brennan like yeah ideally you have a utensil but also if it’s take out I’m not gonna go grab a utensil to just eat the last few bites of my meal imma use my hands

Years of Adventuring Party have long established that episode talkback shows are in fact, food debates. You'll learn to love it. #dirtbagsoupfinger

I absolutely loved this, but I wanted more info on this episode, it was amazing and one of my favorites so far.

Brennan: “You can use your fingers to eat food” also brennan: “soup is a drink therefore you drink it”

Definitely in the mixed feelings crowd. I loved this conversation and its utter insanity. However, I also would have loved a deep dive into this extremely good epidsode.

If only Supreme Crit Justice Wilson had been here for the Soupnal Trial… I know he would’ve loved it

Confession from my home. Growing up my mom would always allow us to 'clean' our plates at dinner with either the fineer or tongue (yes cartoon style 😉) But this was only allowed at home because of home rules.

With each new episode these lovely humans put out the $5 I pay a month feels like the best investment I've made for my mental health in 20 years. You guys never fail to make me cackle with glee.

That whole opening bit is why I pay for this 🤣🤣

Loved Aabria pulling a Brennanism "Let me be very clear" 🤣🤣

When Brennan said Blarney Stone, I could actually smell the steam table. But was it the Blarney Stone on Trinity Place downtown or the Blarney Stone in midtown on 3rd Ave?

Honestly, I'm with Brennan, I've used my finger to push the last bits of soup shrapnel in my mouth when i didn't have a utensil. One makes do!

Even if I somehow DIDN'T love the podcast, (and I do love it), the first 15 minutes of this Fireside still made backing the Patreon worth it. Just sitting here cackling. There needs to be some sort of award for this.

I vote we now refer to Brennan by the name which he hath both claimed through action and that which his friends have thrust upon him, a name of canon, no less: Mr. Soup <3

Listening to poor Erika trying to get to questions and Brennan actively sabotaging that effort... I'm not sure if this was revenge for the birthday party or just Brennan being excited and stream-of-consiousness. Maybe both.

Close friends passionately and aggressively arguing about soup is so good for my soul

The wizard sunny??? 😭😭😭😭

Unconditional support for Brennan and his soup

the original spoon- is our hands, Brennan is just re-living his primal past

Brennan, you're correct here. I don't care what the rest say, you are valid and not weird at all.

Does that picture show Mo crashing his seaplane??

I should not have listened to this at work. I was at a conference with BLeeM just hollering about being a dirt bag in one headphone. I had to pretend to choke on coffee. [Edited to correct abbreviation]

I feel like I just mainlined pure ID of the cast. There was no referee. They were left unattended with a live mic. How did Taylor let this happen?

That was unhinged. Love it.

I'm absolutely with Brennan on this. We have so many finger foods on this green earth it makes absolute sense to use a finger to get those stubborn shroupnel at the bottom and have personally done so more than once.

Daft punk.

Differences as a parent? I used to watch the Indigo Golf Niner Niner scene in The Incredibles without issue. As a parent, my emotional response to anxiety onscreen freaks me out.

Finger in the soup also sounds like something that’s going to get submitted to horny jail

I became a dad 2 years ago and it is WILD how stories involving parent/child relationships suddenly hit me so much harder than I ever imagined. The Mitchells vs the machines completely wrecked me. Also, violence/harm against small children has absolutely been added my lines and veils list.

I'm with Brennan on this one. If you don't drink miso straight out of cup, you need more to do with your day. To have that kind of time...MUST BE NICE.

I’m not sure if this will help anyone, but for Mo I have a great pancake recipe that I adjusted for 2 people. I recommend freezing the left overs and toasting them when you want them again. 1 cups (5 ounces) all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 0.5 teaspoon baking powder 0.25 teaspoon baking soda 0.25 teaspoon salt 1 cups buttermilk 2oz sour cream 1 large egg 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in medium bowl. In second medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, sour cream, eggs, and melted butter together. Make well in center of dry ingredients and pour in wet ingredients; gently stir until just combined (batter should remain lumpy with few streaks of flour). Do not overmix. Let batter sit 10 minutes before cooking. Makes about 6 pancakes

My struggling college student meal was making PB&J with pancakes instead of bread. I would make up a batch and freeze them. Grab and go in the morning and it was thawed by the time I got to class.

#teamscoopthesoup

Hearing Erika talking about going to a seder made me really happy,(also you were absolutely correct to stop for food before, they go on for fucking forever)hope you had a lovely passover!

Brennan is in the right here, use your fingers that’s what they’re for. #scoopthesoup

Brennan, I was WITH you until you used the finger

Hey. Hey brennan. If there is a lack of utensils or bread, u May in fact use ur hands to eat soup dregs 😆 ALSO ERIKA IS CORRECT TAPPNG PAPER CUPS WILL NOT WORK YOU WILL GET SOUP SPLASHED

Howdy from Texas. Be sure to add rangers toast to the egg in a basket naming conventions.

On the one hand, I would have loved more episode-focused discussion in this episode. On the other, these four humans are delightful and I love hearing their friendship expressed in audio format.

I’ve listened to this twice now and there is still much MO to unpack!

#istandwithbrennan #fingerinthesoup

"Hey man, you reproduced. This is sort of a victory lap for the next 50-60 years." As a father, this reverberated with me so much . I remember as a new dad this visceral feeling as if a switch flipped in my brain telling me I had achieved what the species needed me to do. Propagation of the species achievement unlocked! It. Was. WILD.

I believe Brennan is so nervous about being socially correct because he's descended from Celtic Fey, thus it's an ancestral fear of not acting human enough, which triggered his survival reflexes.

“If it’s a crime to love my WIFE then lock me up and throw away the key ‘cause I’ll never stop PUTTING MY FINGER IN stuff to help me eat it.” was certainly a choice of words

Brennan is 100% valid and correct to drink the miso soup and choose not to find and dirty a utensil, or toss out the shroupnell bc he didn't already have a utensil.

I am not surprised the same man who got a lip seal on a public faucet after doing hot yoga was caught eating soup with his fingers. I love Brennan but I'm siding with Mo on this case 🤣😅🤣

Halfway through this fireside the gang has failed to answer the first question yet. Everything is right with the world.

Did anyone else catch Aabria say welcome to Gouthmai (don’t come at me for spelling) when they mentioned the start of arc 4? 👀

"you can eat food with your fingers" is a great attitude for a parent to have.

Wait does the image mean Mo passed?

Justice for Brennan. The violence has to end.

God this is filling the void that zoom adventuring parties left

"Real kids not like porn kids" fucking threw me.

I hard agree with Brennan, soup can be consumed in a cup. Sometimes it’s better that way, a nice mug of piping hot broth.

This is what we waited for, and it’s glorious.

Huge Zoom Era Adventuring Party energy in this one. 10/10 a masterpiece.

I would like to announce that I’m on brennan’s side on the great shroupnel debate

Gotta love a fireside where our first question is answered at 15:21 minutes in, (btw I’m on Brennan’s side, fingers are helpful for food eating)!

Oh god I have the ingredients out and am about to make pancakes for breakfast and I live alone - feeling as about on blast as Brennan defending his miso soup decisions xD

Shout out to Tebay! Equidistant between my house and my parents. Worthy of mention on any internationally popular podcast!

Had a lot of fun with the episode, but... Did they mention the episode a SINGLE time?

Sometimes it is right to finger while you eat

Gotta say Brennan you are corrects for the finger soup thing

Brennan is right, you drink miso soup you don't use a spoon. If anything you use chopsticks to stir it up so you can drink it out of the small soup cup.

I was going to say you should bring the soup issue to the dungeon court but then I remembered that you already have 2 ordained judges on the pod. Still could be a fun crossover

Coffee out the nose at least 3 times before the 15 minute mark. Also “Eating pancakes alone is a Tom Waits lyric” will reverberate in my brain for years.

It's killing me dead that they answered MAYBE 2 questions (debatable) and hardly talked about the episode at all shdnfjkvkcjcndndn

JFC 20 minutes in and they're STILL GOING ON ABOUT SOUP LMFAO

It is WILD to me that these guys were at Tebay services

This was so worth the wait to get to enjoy the group joy of these folks. As a Jennifer, solo pancake maker, and soup drinker, all aspects of my food persona has been attacked in this one episode. 🤣

I stand with Brendan and his use of fingers in soupsnrel eating. Fingers were the og utensils for a reason. I cant believe Mo and Aabria are so highfalutin that they can't see this 😔

I love the unhinged behavior, y’all are perfect 💕

I've already learned that (a) Brennan is a raccoon in human form and (b) Aabria is a waffle supremacist. And I still have a third of the episode to go!

Please avoid these huge content gaps, your funding levels are more than adequate

Going at my shroupnal Brennan lee mulligan style

I'M WITH BRENNAN ON THE SOUP THING

I am 100% with Brennan on this. Minimal finger usage for leftover shroupnal is acceptable

My wife: "This is what you spend $5 a month on?" Me:(holding back laughter)"This is what I spend $5 a month on"

Narrowly avoided making pancakes for breakfast (just for me) before listening to this and now I'm glad I didn't.

Also, waffle > pancake. Always

Most soups can simply be poured into the mouth. Spoons are overused

Miso soup is a drink I fully stand by Brennan

Did they even talk about the episode in this one? Lmaooo

I was making banana pancakes when I listened to this

Am I crazy or was there a fireside chat with Taylor that talked about the music? I remember seeing that and now I have time to catch up and I can't find it. Thank you for any help!

Some foods can be eaten with your hands but shroupnel should absolutely be eaten with utensils! Though the assault on Brennan was wild and uncalled for 🤣

“Eating pancakes alone is a Tom Waites song” well now *I’m* being attacked…

As someone who is regularly read for doing things weird that I don’t realize are weird, I’ve never felt more seen 😂.

I stand with Brennan’s soup strategy.

Utensils are for CHUMPS. Fingers are an appropriate way to consume soupnal

"real kids not the porn kids" my soul left my body. Thank God I had stopped driving before I heard that. Holy shit

Give us the Horny Jail submission section, cowards!

I'm with Brennan on the shroupnel

I think this has been hands-down the best fireside we've had. barreling off the rails at 100mph from the start and the enegy just kept going. also justice for brennan, he was being literally so normal about eating soup

I would be devastated to be called out like this. Being comfortable with your friends only to be called out for correctly eating soup

Smack the ass of the soup cup is my method😭🤚🏾

Shoutout to the sound engineer on this one. I hope all my patreon money goes to your salary

Im with Brennon on the Miso soup issue.

I think what we've really learned here today is we're missing the best possible content that could come to the patreon: Competitive Camp Mukbang with live chat voting on the best most ideal way to eat each item of food placed in front of the cast Princess Warcrimes can cuss out her witch bff all she wants its juicy and fun: Im Tired of my sweet innocent boy taking these cuisinical strays from these hoity toity spork-handed ne'er-do-wells

i have gotten in the comments, this episode is fucking crazy, thank you for the last 5 minutes, he knows what he's doing, hope we discuss magic diplomacy next time

Not a fair trial in the slightest. Brennan must appeal his case to Souperior Court!

I am so surprised by the attack on Brennan's soup eating methodology. Not only is it traditional to drink miso, but even if it wasn't, as long as it's not communal or visually bothersome, you can eat any food any way you like. And while he lost me (only slightly) with the term "soup debris", his rationale about eating with your fingers is spot on. A spongy piece of tofu is not nearly as messy as other items that Americans often eat with their fingers like ribs, wings, or even sliced melon.

Damn, I really wish they had talked about the episode like even a little bit? The Firesides that delve into plot, character, and player choices add so much value to the show. This was a cute convo but really did a disservice to episode 25. I enjoy these people and their friendship but damn a whole episode just talking about soup and eggs? However, I'm with Brennan, it's acceptable to use your fingers to eat, especially when you are in a supposedly safe space with your loved ones and not in public. Mo's callout was a betrayal and I will not forget it.

This episode has low blood sugar energy XD

Brennan and Lou are now even for the "What?" from episode 23 XD

Only Mr. SOUP! Can decide 🥸

Good counsel, it is neither for the defense nor the prosecuter to decide what is morally just way to consume shrimpnel:

I with and defend Brennan's soup method

This made me re-live my first LA days! I worked at Republique until I moved back to NYC 🥰 thanks for the nostalgia

ALSO! Low-Key offering my creative services to draw album art for Erika’s and Aabria’s podcast 🤣

I love how Aabria complained about a LOTR reference "not even 20 min in" when the entire time before that reference was used to unjustly accuse BLeeM of food crimes

Gotta say, I am with Brennan on this one. There is nothing wrong with using one's fingers to eat. Hands ca. Be washed. Add to that it is quite traditional to drink miso soup out of whatever container it is served in. You do you, Brennan. No shame.

I feel called out as I sit and eat Pancakes alone!🤣🤣🤣

This has got to be my favorite fireside ever…near nothing about the episode, and everything about just life and fun and laughs. Shroupnal is now part of my vernacular. :)

I am Jamaican, sometimes when there is a function of some sort (most likely a funeral) soup is always served in a plastic or Styrofoam cup. We do NOT consume it with any sort of utensil and unlike BLeeM's miso it is souprapnel heavy. So in order to get the debris into your mouth, you shake it or use your finger. So Mr. Mo Johnson can "Mo"sey on outta here.

Also can I say how much I love hearing you all talk about Tebay services!

I was in a cafe when Mo said ‘porn kids’ and let me tell you my fellow patrons were ALARMED at how loud I laughed

This fireside was the best way to start my day today 😆

#teambrennan

One of my favorite fireside’s! But also finding out for the first time that you eat soup wrong from your favorite people in the world in front of almost 48,000 people then in perpetuity is nightmare fuel.

I am 100% with Brennan on the soup remains issue. Using a finger when you have no other utensils handy is completely fine.

Nooooo Brennan, not a finger!! You tap the cup to move the contents into your mouth if you don’t have utensil access.

I love hearing some of the camp chaos, and I'm glad cast and crew are having such a good time. I also loved the episode. It was a good, thick, meaty one, and I was really looking forward to getting into the meat of it with them. It's frustrating to hear what I think of as good introductory bits and then have them take up literally the entire Fireside. A little more balance, please.

Anyone hear what Taylor yelled at the start??

Omfg Brennan I so sorry you got attacked, ambushed in this manner 😂 thats how I eat my miso soup too

Fire your lawyer dude… RIP Brennan Lee-Mulligan

I agree with Brennan about the soup lol

#JusticeForBrennan

In Soupnelgate, Brennan is correct. That is all.

Question for my fellow patrons. Was THIS the most unhinged a Fireside has been so far?

While being one of the least on topic and most unhinged things I’ve ever listened to, this episode is EASILY in my top 3 of Fireside Chats. I support shroupnel! 🍜

Oh no! I just made the connection with the attached photo! Is Mo okay?!?! Did he survive??

Clockwork Orange but it's us forcing Brennan to rewatch all the devastating parent/kid interactions in Calamity

"What are we up to this time" is the REALEST feeling as a white cis American, omfg 😂. Stanley cups? Essential oil mlms? What is going on, how did this happen, Ashleigh Mae you have to stop doing this to me

Brennan is also eat soup in that particular vessel like that! (I admit that it’s a crazy way to do it, but you’re not alone)

The fact Mo didn’t catch flack for making BOXED pancakes is the biggest crime commited in this episode

I'm pretty sure the white lady counter top cooking is rage bait more than it's porn, not that some of it isn't fetish content

It took me about six months to be able to read the Lorax without crying. I feel that one.

This is Axe Peace all over again 🤣

THIS IS UNHINGED I LOVE IT

The Superiority of The Waffle (2024)

The way I knew Wee Willy was that he rapped at the windows and cried through the locks, "Are your children in bed, for it's 8 o'clock". Just me?

I'm so glad i submitted a question just in time for this episode ! It was very enlightening !

I’m going to actually die within the first 5 minutes of this. I can’t breathe - also Brennan is right miso soup should be drunk

I love people experiencing joy together and getting to witness it. 🥹 I would listen to an hour of y’all talking about whatever, truly.

“You’re a flip flopper” snipe from Aabria 😭😭😭 yall pls fake beef with soup sublims like Drizzy asp. “This is like realizing I am the murderer” is crazy 😭

I would genuinely pay way more patreon money just for Aabria and Erika's podcast. Please. I beg.

Chain of custody issues regarding Exhibit A. I think there's ground for appeal.

I don't remember soup being this vital to episode 25

Did they- did they talk about the episode?

15. Minutes. Of Soup. We are blessed this day with this episode.

Okay but listen! This is the Pilot Program (With a different 4th) attacking Even for how he eats cause all he knows is eating over trash cans. 🤣 EDIT: I forgot to add! The person supporting Evan? None other than K!! AAAAAND the reaction to the Sherlock being the BBC one is TOTALLY Jammer's reaction.

Just got off a film set and I just want to say that the fireside feels like coming home with a group of friends who will never let me down. I worry that I’ve developed a parasocial relationship with Mo and the gang and I’m not ready to give that up.

Justice for Mulligan! Perfectly acceptable way to eat a soup

Lou might have taken issue with the lack of spoon usage given his upbringing with multiple electric nutcrackers, but he’s not here today.

Brennan commited a crime.

Japanese tradition allows for miso soup drunk from the bowl without a spoon. Should use chopsticks for any bits.

CHARACTER ASSASSINATION

Wow, what a food centric episode 😂😂😂

Ngl, I eat pudding this way. No spoon, just slurp as much as I can out, then finger the rest. I mean, I wash my hands after. But I don’t see what’s so bad about doing this with miso soup

Brennan is right

"what have we done this time" well... yes!

If you’re reading this comment before listening to it. It’s a fun and entertaining time but they do NOT talk about the episode at all.

We need a video of the Soup trial

they answered one question about the episode and it was still mostly about food 😂😂😂

I personally love the soup debate, keep it up idec Abt the podcast when "I am being shot!! With guns!!!"

I'm only 10 minutes into the episode, but I say thus; I stand with Brennan Lee Mulligan, and his consumption of his Miso Soup and his Shroupnel

All this time we thought that Brennan was Sir Curran… but he was Mr. Soup

My family calls the eggs in a bread hole "hobo eggs" I do not know why.

Was this an April Fool’s Day ep? Are they really not gonna talk AT ALL about such a heavy episode?

I’ve only just begun and I am LOSING IT at SoupGate (Brennan-you are right, my man. But I’m sorry, this sibling-adjacent pile on is also hysterical)

justice for Brennan

Start of the ep: CHARACTER ASSASSINATION

This was so unhinged and hilarious in the best way... ...but also, I'm so shook by Brennan being like "I love a scheming sorcerer" after what we just found out about Jace Stardiamond

Honestly, after the insane schedules these people have had going into camp, I'm really happy they got to just hang out and be goofy with each other. Even if it wasn't the in depth arc discussion, it was really nice to hear them relax and have a great time together for 46 minutes.

Brennan is normal. I'm normal. YOU'RE weird.

I stayed up to listen to this and it was SO WORTH IT I'm dying 😭

I’m 20 minutes in, I’m genuinely having a great time with all the food banta and stories, but please, at some point, please talk about the episode!!

Brennan's closing statement is the most New York I've ever heard him and I've watched Unsleeping City 1 and 2 M U L T I P L E times.

This is the origin story of this camp's unprecedented player TPK. And honestly?? It would be completely justified.

I fully agree with Brennans miso soup method, as someone on the autism spectrum sometimes you need to physically touch your food as you eat. I've always referred to it as raccoon mode 😁

I have listened to the soup trial five times in the last hour and every time I go back I start laughing so hard I can't breathe

I was so excited to hear a breakdown of how this episode went and im a bit dissapointed that it was almost never on topic. I enjoyed this after suspending my expectations lol.

me and ALL my homies were deeply changed after getting some tweed

BRENNAN WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE SOUP

I don’t want to make Moe right about this, but I did grow up in a “pasta salad is made in a large, unscented trash bag” house and for a hot second I thought that was what he was referencing. So glad it was just weird white ladies wasting food for clicks instead.

If the utensil’s amiss, the finger must fish 👨‍⚖️

putting 20$ on the fact that theyre gna talk about food the whole time

Did this have anything to do with EP. 25? No. Did I love every second of this fireside anyway? Heck yeah!

45 minutes and basically none of it was in reference to the last episode. Amazing, love it, no notes

“Everyone thinks they’re different and then Crazy Frog starts playing” so true Moe (As someone who knows Too Much about fandom tumblr, I’m so pumped for Erika and Aabria’s podcast)

Please let Jennifer's spaghetti counter be the next Cram Daniels. I want to see a one-shot in the vein of naddpod's Tub Brisket all about Jennifer and her Spaghetti Counter 😂

I love this energy 😂😂😂 I need Mo' of it (badum tss)

Oh my god now I'm just imagining Brennan in Churra's Chowder good god

if this is the kind of (deserved) character assassination we get when firesides are released late at night then i will have to require it from now on thanks

I just absolutely and genuinely love how much of the campaign gets talked about in these fireside chats😂

We called it Bullseye Toast

I can not wait for the next episode! This energy is wild.

as a perennial bag/container eater out of, you gotta fold it up at the sides so you can slide things out of them easier

Look, as someone *currently* eating (or attempting to at least 😅) some late night soup, this opening energy is amazing

Wait, this isn’t days late because it couldn’t be edited for more than 20 seconds at a time with 2 hour laughing sprees? 😉🤣 You guys take all the time you need for this awesomeness!

That's not what toad in the hole is Aabria, toad in the hole is a sausage baked into Yorkshire Pudding batter.

I agree with Moe that making pancakes for just yourself is too much, but also if you want pancakes, a waffle is not the solution. The solution is a Dutch Baby.

Eating pancakes alone is a Tom Waits lyric. That's gonna LIVE with me lol.

I’ve never eaten miso soup at home with a spoon and i’m not going to start now

It’s Wee Willy Winky ran through the town, upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown, knocking at the window, crying through the locks! “Are the children in bed? For it’s now 8 o’clock!”

As a lawyer I appreciate this episode and Brennan need to plead the soup 5th.

Soup is finger food if you're not a quitter.

The great Shroupnel trial lol

This is the kind of quality food related content I’m here for. What is this show about again?

Let it be known it is NOT crazy to drink soup!!! I do it too!! It is efficient!

Character Assassination!

Keep your fingies off the tofu brennan

Brennan I was with you for so long, but you just tip the cup up and tap that debris in your mouth. No fingies necessary.

Time for a crossover with NADDPOD’s Dungeon Court about the case of Miso Shroupnel.

How did Erika just turn into Foghorn Leghorn?

I’m on brennans side for the shroupnel debate

FOR REAL LIIIIIIFE?!

I'm only four minutes in but the wait was so worth it!

Should Brennan be allowed to drink soup? Vote yes or no in the comments

Soup fight! Mo problems from Mo fucking Johnson

With an hour to spare!

Always glad for you to delay a however long you need to get the thing you want to share! Excited.

Was starting to wonder when the Citadel would allow the release.

Ahoohoo!

Crackle crackle!

Erika and Aabria starting the Fireside Chat with Aggressive Tweed Energy is everything to me

First!(?) ish

U guys r pretty cool
