In this steamy last section we talk surprisingly long about the ideal bad boy vibe, listen through to the end for a very hot take. If you’re looking for advice on your office decor, we’re here for you. We can help you with the throne room that fits your personality whether you are a powerful, sexy witch or just boring old Diaz. And if you think fantasy novels don’t talk about caprese salads enough, this is the podcast for you.

Find out which dragon book man the boys get too excited about for the warm up (8:58). Luke hijacks Dan’s theory about Diaz and charts a course for a forbidden (but familiar) shore. Luke gets disqualified from taking the pilgrim oath and gives some horrific wartime advice. Dan makes it out of this episode looking pretty good in comparison. Nice.

Summer is here and we’re starting out… hot? And by that I mean Luke is rescinding another hot take. Turns out you actually shouldn’t skip leg day. Here’s a quick question for you guys; what’s your wasp fighting technique? Cause Dan’s got a new one you should try. I promise it’s related to the book. And if you thought we weren’t going to talk about the tea Diaz makes I don’t know what podcast you’ve been listening to for the last year. Tweet us @DCitaBC your best post-river crossing tea mixtures.

Dan and Luke, defenders of the meek, come to the aid of natural gas. Sort of? (5:45 to skip to the book stuff) Professor Dan’s back at it again, this week we are learning about cold welding. And by learning I mean you should really look it up yourself because Dan is probably wrong. Shi is still a boss, Ye Wenjie needs to stop being so passive aggressive, and Luke and Dan stumble upon an incredible theory. Welcome all you far away listeners. We come in peace.

Well, last episode we didn’t think of the most obvious use of the V-suit… Dan tells us the real reason the V-suit is popular and why Wang’s wife should be a little worried. And to the Trisolarans, DM us, we’ve got some advice on how to make your world a little more comfortable. Also can someone please explain the dumb-soldier joke to Dan? He’s just not getting it.

School’s….in? Luke comes to office hours and gets himself learned. Also get hyped for our next big media project, Life Hacked (6:30). Luke and Dan debate if Essun is mother of the year, or monster of the year. Luke decides to rain on Dan’s pirate parade and freaks out about just like, some casual murder. Ya boys have some serious questions about the end of this book. and surprise — Luke needs me to Dansplain about truffles; don’t worry its relevant. We are also excited to take Alabaster’s Body Sculpt Beach Workout class.

If you’ve been apartment shopping in your life then boy do we have a #relatable rant for you (6:19). Long time listeners will not be surprised or disappointed when we talk about the pets of this world for way too long. Also Luke takes a brave stand to point out when we as readers are being manipulated. Wake up sheeple!

You might be wondering, "Luke and Dan, how are you gonna make a discussion about this horrifyingly dark book funny?" We were wondering the same thing. So we start with a little catharsis, move to a few predictions, and by the end I think we stumble into a few slivers of comedic light among the darkness of systematic dehumanization. Also the little girl’s name is Damaya not Dayama and we know that…now. Special thanks to VOLO for the intro/outro music.

Dan kicks this episode off by bringing up Game of Thrones yet again, in spite of his earlier pledge to stop talking about it (5:04). As we wrap up the book Dan decides to ruin the idea of Kalad’s Phantoms for all of us, but also acknowledges how horrible his theory from Part Two was. If Luke’s feminist rant last week wasn’t enough for you, we’re here for another (slightly more serious) round in this episode. And stick around to see how Luke manages to make yet another Chopped reference.
