Fireside Chat for WWW ep6 "Fresh Fish"
Ahoohoo and crackle crackle to you good fellows. Anon! Another Fireside Chat has laid itself bare, like a patient on a table, or perhaps like a cocksure rookie across the table from veteran ne'er-do-well Billy Gallows. Regardless, it is yours to do with as ye wish. Ahoohoo con dios.

Fuck her
I will rip her chest
Nasty
Whyyyyuy
The absolute best fireside chat on my listen through so far; absolutely crying laughing at points but also: official appreciation for Mr. Chip Tastic’s unappreciated hauntingly whispered “No-han”.
The Christian Minecraft Patreon comment from Aabria got a full, loud belly laugh from me. Mercy, that was good...
Favorite fireside dessert is a banana boat. Slice a banana lengthwise (peel still on, make sure not to pierce the peel on the other side to leave a hinge), stuff that baby full of marshmallow and your preferred chocolate chips. Roll in aluminum foil and sit in the embers until everything gets gooey and melted. Once opened up, add whipped cream on top for a fantastically delicious dessert.
THANK YOU LOU for championing the perfectly golden-browned marshmallow ... I'm here for the long game, patience is required for perfection!
I listened to all of the play episodes and then the children's adventure. Early in the Children's adventure, Brennan describes the mood of the spirit world as "drunk" and I think of Eursalon's drinking problem as a part of the way he deals with his severance from the spirit world/a way he connects with a sense of home
I’ll see your Reese’s Cup and raise you a Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup…
Also I like to have one full s’more followed by two gooey burnt marshmallows, then 20 min later have one last marshmallow that I immediately regret.
“If a guy is tall and a little bit mean what’re you gonna do?” and out loud to no one but me myself and I, I say “Nut.” and I’m not sorry bout it unfortunately
I miss Tomahawk if he’d like to come back if Clip is too hostile lmao
I dont eff with reese's cups on s'mores. Reese's on a Ritz cracker topped with a slice of banana, now...😋
Binging my way through the firesides and I absolutely cackled like a madwoman over Brennan's (incorrect) anti-horny rant. This is the content I signed up for!
okay … now i need a table top game where the four of them are actually zapped into a magical world and try to survive. just the idea of Erika and Abria going “hm, sexy dark and evil” Lou being like “i am not sure, is there anything to eat?” and brennan be the dad of the group all figured out and planned “okay gang, we’ve got to …”
To the smores debate....roast a rice Crispy square *chef's kiss*
WHOA
"Please judge this book by its cover I paid hundreds of dollars" is so real. I agree w Desmond
I'm deeply, deeply amused by the mental image of BLeeM needing to rein in the horniness with an airhorn when they're on an adventure.
The "slipping out of my chair" comment sent me. Scared AND horny indeed!
Whoa recees cup smore is mind boggling
I think it's interesting when Suvi and Ame clash with their different world views, but all the other little fights in between them make me sad because it's hard to hear such amazing, powerful women spend so much time fighting whilst ersulan who is the only guy there only gets comforted when he makes a mistake.
I may be reaching here but I think there's something to that dynamic that speaks to the guilt that Ame and most especially Suvi feel from their hand in trapping Ersulan here.
MY SODAS
I agree with Erica's take on marshmallows -- they are way too sweet to eat by themselves.
The vibe I get from Port Talon is Portland. It may just be from the bartender and his magnificent mustache.
as a book editor I really hate the “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” saying too! i feel desmond
S'moreos. Brown a marshmallow and put it in the middle of an Oreo. Amazing.
can someone get 52:00 - 53:05 to DeepBlueInk stat. Good lord I need to see that animated like yesterday
Light those marshmallows on fire, pull off the top layer, eat it, light it on fire again, repeat
This is the way
All the talk about villains being sexy made me think of The Devil's Advocate.

I love the special guests, really makes it easy to remember if you've listened to that fireside chat before or not!
"Blocks for Christ" merch when?
I was curious after all this talk of bookmakers, what would each of your character's bookmakers look like? (Mr. Mulligan, maybe one for your favorite/an interesting npc)
Erika yes thank you no one has ever agreed with me about the benefits of an on fire marshmallow! I’ll have a s’mores bar everyone in here is invited to my wedding
Just going to say as a both a proper Bible-thumping Christian an absolute fantasy lover, there are so many sections of the Bible that are straight out of Game of Thrones.
Oo Hoo Hoo
Thank goodness for Erika because my marshmallow better be on fire and like Aabria said I need me some carbon except I want a lot. Like my marshmallow better be all ash on the outside lol
Nothing better than doing a little bit of slow roasting and then making sure that the marshmallow gets Engulfed by flame for the last ten seconds
As someone who deeply appreciates an on-fire marshmallow, and also as a graphic designer, this episode has been surprisingly validating 😌
Duck Strawbridge was the first person who came to my mind when we met the moustache/bar tender, probably means more to the UK listeners but Google it
This week on CrossBlocks, the Christian Minecraft podcast...
All of these Fireside Chats are so funny, and there were many great moments in this one, but Lou - *ahem* Clip Tastic - really got me at the end of this one with, "The agave soda is kicking in. The effervescence lifts me! Both in class and status." 😆
I love these people so heckin' much! Also, I struggle to imagine one, Brennan Lee Mulligan, telling any kind of story and being "frightfully boring." My dude could read from a phone book and turn it into magic. Can't wait for the next episode, and corresponding Fireside. And ahoohoo, to you!
Guess we now know where Aabria & Erika's characters tend to fall in the trauma/danger responses of fight, flight, freeze or fawn....they lean towards Fu** 😆
I like the marshmallow seats here so nice
I checked out on the Will Gallows description during the episode cause in my mind he's just hot Pekka Rollins from Six of Crows
I thought of him too! I was wondering if Brennan was a Shadow & Bone fan.
team golden brown marshmallows with misters tastic and mulligan. i also raise team 80% dark chocolate with a smore. also, im very glad we all gathered here today to share our smore stances. big zoom adventuring party mood.
Team Erika for me. As a kid, I was enamored with the sight of a bluish flame transforming the white flesh of a marshmallow to a black papery ash.
S’mores bar with graham crackers, fudge stripes, hersheys bars, Reese’s cups, Rolos, and apple slices. (I live my fire pit table)
Three options: 1. The bit lasts forever. 2. The bit queity tapers off. 3. The bit is loudly and abruptly declared as DONE. Cast your votes now.
On the occasions I'm peer pressured into using a marshmellow I prefer the lightly browned method.
Crackle crackle
The Reese’s cup is on point!
I didn't know my Marshmellow opinions were so strong until just now. toasted over roasted
Will Gallows is terrifying! Not all of us find him sexy! Showing my age, who is the bad boyfriend in the movie version of Oliver? That’s who I see, but paler and greasier. And he scared the shit out of me as a kid.

“Surprising no one, I like mine on FIRE” 🔥 fuck that got a loud LOL out of me Erika hahaha
I prefer my marshmallows browned but I peel the cooked layer off and eat them in layers like that.
Yes, This is the way!
aabria is so right about marshmallows i love to catch my marshmallow on fire at least before consuming it
Look, I've always liked my marshmallows browned, but if our Lady & Saviour Aabria says the mallows gotta be a bit burnt, then so shall they be.
Ah-hoo-hoo to you too!
Ah-hoo-hoo to all the slightly later listeners!
NOT IN MY CHRISTIAN MINECRAFT PATREON 🤣🤣🤣
Have a yearly wedding of various ingredients in the 'smore.
So, do you have a Lore Master yet - and have they started tracking the weekly Fireside 'guests'? You know that years from now, someone is gonna want to know.
Aabria thank you for repping the tumblr girlies
Not to be too controversial, but as a camp pro, add a square of caramel at the top of the marshmallow skewer. When you pull the mallow off, the caramel oozes into the middle. Game changer.
Hot take? You flash crisp the outer layer of the mallow, so it's crispy & gooey & slips right off, then you go back into the fire with the middle bit. Lather, rinse, repeat.
😘👌👌👌
Love Aabria for calling out vow renewals.
"Dream world important" awwww
I'm not a big fan of Marshmellows but I love s'mores. I made a method to wrap the graham cracker and hershey sandwich in foil and then melt the chocolate to have it without marshmellow. Definitely more difficult but with patience you can succeed.
Have you ever tried using a sugar cone (the little brown ice cream cones) and adding fruit+chocolate? If people want they can add mini marshmallows, wrap in foil etc. It’s great for little kids and anyone who doesn’t want to deal with sticks!
A friend taught me to replace chocolate and graham cracker with Fudge Stripe style cookies (chocolate side on the inside) for a different (to me, more enjoyable) ratio and less assembly kerfuffle.
Burning the marshmallow is absolutely necessary.
Why are we not discussing chocolate choice for the s’more discourse? Gotta balance the sweet with a darker chocolate! Peak is 70-80% dark chocolate with mint. Also golden skin marshmallow is the correct mallow.
cant say my instinct would be mint but very here for dark chocolate. i think a sea salt dark 80% would be perfection
Omg hearing Brennan’s description of a wedding is the first time I’ve ever felt like I actually *wanted* to have a wedding 🥲
Here for the s’mores chat! Had a s’mores bar at my wedding last December. Took the poor caterer an hour to start a campfire in the drizzly afternoon but ended up really choice, had one with a molasses cookie instead of a graham cracker and boy howdy, what a treat.
Brennan saying, "I'm sorry if this is me being frightfully boring." Sir, you are frightfully the opposite.
Also, as a former Catholic, the Bible is near pornographic. Absolutely not made for kids
100% right. Weddings are magic. Mine was amazing and I would Love nothing more than to give my wife one every single year because she absolutely deserves it for putting up with me.
46:00 absolutely wrecked me in the best way lmfao
I absolutely think you guys are beautiful people, so i'm trusting the process, but i'm really struggling with the fact that Suve is bringing bully energy
I'm allergic to chocolate so marshmallow is the only center to a s'more. So it's gotta be *good* baby I make the goldenest golden marshmallows of all time
Now for each different "guest" they need to find a reason to fire them at the end too. Lmao
to really get some complexity and to get hit by a truck by a campfire side marshmallow treat, one should try the smorito. A roasted marshmallow between 2 classic nacho cheese doritos. It will have u giving a big ol ahoohoo
I never tried it with a s'more, but Doritos with a side of mini Snickers are a great food pairing (if you don't mind feeling sort of ill afterwards) so I can see that working out. Also - Doritos are surprisingly great paired with champagne, something I discovered during lockdown when I was isolating alone at home and had a couple bottles of Veuve Clicquot...
Ahoohoo to all and to all a good night 🫶
Fancy S’mores: Put a toasted marshmallow between a ginger snap with lemon curd. (Thin or chewy ginger snaps, the old fashioned ones are too crunchy/messy)
🤯🤤
Uh oh we're starting to lose energy on the name bit XD
Would like to throw my support behind Clip Tastic in the great marshmallow debate. Golden brown over burn
Ahoohoo to all of you! We do love to do the ahoohoo, hoohoo! :)
Aabria and Erika both admitting that their essence is "horny Tumblr girlie" took me out. If he's tall and a little inhuman and might literally choke you to death...
I’m team “I thought everyone was just pretending to like s’more because they’re convenient fireside snacks”
i am wholeheartedly and unapologetically with Erika on marshmallows
Brennan being the pure soul amongst the monsterfuckers is never not hilarious
The way Aabria says 'a little dead' set me cackling
Glad Aabria brought up a Reese's Cup on a s'more. That's the go-to, with a slow roasted malow, that's burnt at the end.
Tried it one time and never looked back. Reese's s'more all the way.
Team 'Marshmallow on its own is better than s'mores' (also on fire)
I was so excited that they were going to answer questions and then marshmallows. 🤮
Ahoohoo everyone! My Finnish ass listening to this having never eaten a roasted marshmallow or a smore :D
When you get the chance, roast them over coals towards the end of the fire—not flames like in the movies 😄
And ahoohoo with your spirit!
Ahoohoo, everyone!
Ahoohoo and bidet! The TTRPG cannon greetings expand
Ahoohoo tutti!
Ahoohoo and Salutations to you
Ahoohoo to you too Taylor
Ahoohoo to you lovely souls.
Let’s goooooo
