If you think men have tear ducts, chapters 53-54 will prove you wrong. This episode will also prove that Emily is gay and can't do math, that Lan has reached a new low on the break-up scale (BENEATH Facebook Messenger break-up), and that we're all just following Fast and Furious logic.

Transcript

We've reached one of the most iconic sequences in the Wheel of Time: when Moiraine stage manages the HELL out of her own "death." For ch. 51 & 52, we also talk about Sexy Zombie Mat, Catching Frish, Don't Skin the Messenger, and Sulin Joining Mat's War Council.

Transcript

Ch. 49 and 50 are so, so long. There's no humor to be found in them, but a lot of questions: Should Sherlock Holmes be sexy? Is smuggling a victimless crime? Are the seals actually important? Has Robert Jordan heard of friends?

Transcript

Robert Jordan is taking leaves in ch. 47 & 48, just like he always does. Other discussion topics include: Egg's Amyrlin Box, Jazz Hands Shimmying, Be Nicer to Mat 2k20, and Galad's Bleached Violence.

Transcript

This week, we cover ch. 45-46, and Mat goes on Reddit to ask: AITA? Meanwhile, Asmodean can't pronounce the word "friend," Moiraine supervises Special K, the nobility suffer through an unsanitary spear kissing ritual, and Robert Jordan uses his page space unwisely. What else is new?

Transcript

We'd like to remind you that we are not the glee club. Other discussion topics for chapters 43-44 include: Signature for Ants, Beefalo, and Mantrum with Lantrum. Plus, for the first time ever, Lan actually acts like a good mentor?

Transcript

As the title implies, there's a highly graphic sidebar in this episode about the big blue dildo in HBO's "Watchmen." Whoops! More WoT-centric topics include: Glass-Blowing Inconsistencies, Mat's Transition Lenses, and Miners vs. Minors. Chapters 41 & 42.

Transcript

Chapters 39 and 40 are here to teach us all about cults (and whether you're in one)! Discussion topics include: a Tybalt-centric Universe, Masema's 12 Friends Justice System, Alliandre's Resume, and Fergalicious Galaxy Brain.

Transcript

Emily "Eyeball" Juchau and Sally "Sadness" Goodger are back after a brief hiatus to talk about ch. 37 and 38. We'll discuss the history of circuses and "freak shows" and the intersections between human cruelty and animal cruelty. If that sounds like a downer, worry not: there's a guy named Philip Ass-ley involved.

Transcript

In chapters 35 and 36, Elayne wrestles with some sticky consent issues, Robert Jordan plays queer-coding dodgeball, Valan Luca is a cult leader, and Birgitte is the only emotionally healthy person in this circus full of bummers. Enjoy!
