We announce some podcast news and then warmup with a hot debate about everyone’s favorite show The Big Bang Theory (16:15 to skip). Luke wants the sailors to unionize and Dan wants the Sleepless in charge. It wouldn’t be an episode of Don’t call it a book club without us theorizing about new sports and the sleepless have a banger.

Reading the first quarter of Rhythm of War next week!

The Marat officially have pants on fire, and Jim needs to leave Doroga alone. Also, First Lord rhymes with vord, y’all know the rest. Dan and Luke continue to be unimpressed with this government and decide what they really need is a parade.

It’s everyone’s favorite segment, we’re warming up with some grocery store talk (8:50 to skip). The boys point out all of the flaws in Aleran society. Repeatedly. Luke comes out as team Aquitaine and Dan’s not afraid of our rich overlords. Also, is the grey tower a myth? Time to throw some bribes around.

No warmup on this one since in classic Sanderson fashion the ending of Oathbringer has a lot of ground to cover. After the big revelation, we of course discuss some human-Parshendi relations. Dan comes out swinging with some really well thought out theories, and Luke has some constructive criticism for Dalinar.

Next week we are starting Academ’s Fury by Jim Butcher, book 2 of the Codex Alera series!

Dan wants to learn a little "real life lore" while reading (10:55 to skip). Luke no longer stans Shallan and Dan wants to hear some details about damage and hit points. Some important discussion about who lives in Shadesmar and Dan introduces another powerful theory about Dalinar. Finishing up the book next week!

Nothing personal but I don’t want to share food with you and I have something to say about it (8:05 to skip). Now that Jasnah is back she takes a spot in the hot seat. She’s a little too ready to attack our parshmen friends! Dan has some words for the heralds, and we come up with some good alternative strategies. Plus don’t sleep on the new theories we bring out in this one!
