January 28, 2025 Story 100: Let’s Punch Pop Culture Odin! (w/ Standby Line Podcast)
“Odin is a Horse Girl, confirmed.”

It’s episode 100!!! Tim (he/him) and AJ (he/they) from The Standby Line Podcast join the show to talk about (read: aggressively dunk on) Odin!

Other topics include the deal with runes, the Eye of Odin often being more prominent in media than Odin himself, Mimir being the “head guy,” Odin’s obsession with Undercover Boss, Frigg’s perplexing history, the goal of the show to be a tasting tray and not a comprehensive lecture, Odin’s many animal friends, Darien’s favorite moment in comics, and the true reason Tim and AJ despise Odin (it’s cause of WoW).

“I cast fall into an open chasm!”

*Citation needed.

Other topics include a group mourning session for Uncle Randolph, the lack of agreement regarding the meaning of Loki’s name, the lack of agreement regarding the role of Loki’s parents, which ancient Icelandic poet DJ would most like to have a beer with, the amount of horsepower in an eight-legged horse, the amount of evidence necessary to legally allow the Aesir to investigate Loki for Crimes, investigating Loki’s godliness, and DJ confessing that he’s never gonna play God of War.

December 31, 2024 Story 98: It's Hammer Time
"The fact that Thor didn't solve this problem by hitting him with Mjolnir is shocking."

It's a big one! Perhaps THE biggest topic of Norse mythology.

Other topics include the trend of naming kids after Thor during the Viking Age, all the things Snorri (probably) invented, Thor's strategy for dealing with unwanted potential-in-laws, Darien not liking most of Rick Riordan's Choices regarding adapting Norse mythology, and DJ spending too much money to get a Thor SMITE skin.

Spoilers for Marvel Rivals, Marvel Comics, Marvel What If...? and SMITE

Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about physical violence, animal death, infidelity, and slut shaming.
