Wherein Harry gets himself a dental plan.

(Next week Ch. 31-35)

Murphy fights off Ace, Best Boy Sith takes care off the campy Sidhe, Butters takes care of the wounded, Toot takes care of Captain Hook, and Titania takes care of Harrys circle.

Thomas continues to steal the novel but Toot gives him a run for his money this week. Between his disdain for humans and their foibles, his trademark accidental wordplay, and his adoration for Lacuna, it really is the Major Generals chunk.

Watch where your binoculars are pointed but come on in, the tornados are warm! Cold Days chunk 7 starts NOW!!

Lego Joe: Had to be Toot Toot!

Wherein Harry learns a very little bit about Mac.

(Next week 26-30)

Thomas tells Harry he needs to check himself before he wrecks Molly. An outsider does wreck Mac's, Lily and Maeve have news, and Ace comes for revenge....or something.

The concussion counter for the chunk is at two before a metal bat beating, but the wizard does manage to dish out some punishment to Outsider Sharkface with a sexy empowered version of Fuego. Cat Sith has another memorable cameo, Maeve is delightfully douchey, and Lily gives Harry a hug.

We stroll through chunk 6 RIGHT NOW!

Wherein our wizard/warden/knight leaarns the stakes.

(Next week ch 22-25)

We get talked at a bunch this weeek, and even though its expo city and we have almost no vfx budget, the humor carried the day for mnother excellent chunk. Bob makes like a projector, Molly hexes like Harry, Thomas jokes like, well like thomas but it is great, Oderrung channels Lucy and holds the textbook and the football for our plucky hero, Alyssa puts on her tan jumpsuit and straps on her proton pack, while The Redcap does his best Wile E. Coyote impersonation, taking a cartoonish and well deserved splat.

Expo dump or not, there is a TON of new lore this week, not to mention a cameo from one vvery good, if surly kitty. Hop on your Sea-Doo and meet us on the lake cuz Cold Days 5 starts.....RIGHT NOW!

L:ego Joe: Mac!

Wherein there be monsters, and Harry aint the only one!

(Trigger Warning: We have a discussion on self-harm, so if this is a subject you would rather avoid for your own well-being, please skip to 11:45!)

This week starts of with a bang! Or a kaboom, I guess. Then, Its a Fairy Off! Toot and the Guard tackle Captain Hook-so hot right now!-in a manic pixie dream brawl.

Lyss heroically toughs it out through a cough as we discuss Mollys role in the narrative and unfortunately have to shudder through Harry discussing his first meeting with the G-hopp.

Thomas reminds Harry that big bro knows a thing or two about monsters, and Demonreach tells Harry he better start reading up on them too!

Chunk 4 of Cold Days comes in like an arctic hair dryer: kinda confusing and only mildly successful.....But it DOES start NOW!!

(next week CD Ch 17-21) 

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wherein harry learns a life saving and ending secret!

There is a ton of expo and lore dumped on us, but in classic Butcherian fashion it is absolutely seamless! 

First, Sarissa and Harry warily trade answers to personal questions in Arctis Tor, while back in Chicago, Bob snarks his was through maybe the most game-changing revelation we've gotten so far!

Toot toot and the Guard steal multiple scenes and Andi shows up to shred a nice tux, though with good reason as Harry does serious damage to Butter's gaming rig!

Enjoy the episode that made us semi-finalists in the "Podcasts Where Gambling Advice Turns Into a Love Fest of 1992's 'The Cutting Edge'" (Western US Division)!! Cold Days chunk three coming in hot! Next week Cold Days 4: ch 12-16..

Lego Joe: Andi, but clothed! Its a family pod.

(Regular length Cold Days 3: ch 8-11 next week!)

Look, this is so very skippable, but I wanted to get something out....

There is actually some good analysis in there, start around the three and a half hour mark for the yikeseyest comparison of piercing descriptions around!!

Besides that, Ive only cut a couple really personal convos out so this is the closest you get to raw Lyssy and Joshie, which I cant imagine anyone wanted, but I just couldnt do the holidays AND edit something Herman Mellville's corpse described as "excessive."

Cheers, chest bumps, and Happy Holidays!!

Wherein Harry begins to communicate with the Winter Sidhe.

(THIS IS JUST BREAKDOWN; ANALYSIS TO COME)

Harry gets a jolly old surprise meeting with someone from his childhood, we learn the Erlking's name, and we get more evidence that Eldest Gruff is a gentleman and a badass--tho probably not Lafortier's murderer, turns out.

A snotty Maeve and a her snottier minions try to cause trouble, Sarissa is all mysterious, and if you picture it the way I do. the rawhead is way less gross!

Its day one in the prison yard, so Harry makes sure all of winter knows he's not stuck in here with them, theyre stuck in here with HIM!

Sarissa wins the day with some iron resolve, and Mab gives Harry a shocking first command!

Come on in and relax....youll be here awhile. Cold Days 2 starts RIGHT NOW

Lego Joe: Harry's old living room, though smaller and less icy

Wherein Harry gets an attempted murder montage.

We start with Bombshells, where Molly takes on the Fomor and the Patriarchy alike! Its an enjoyable, if often heart wrenching, peak into the Grasshoppers Noggin and she really shows her unique strengths!

After that we dip our toes into novel 14, Cold Days! (Chapters 1-2 today, 3-7 next week!) where Harry convalesces at Arctis Tor under the caring and watchful eyes of Queen Mab!

We celebrate our 100th ep (HOLY CRAP! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!) the same way we always do: we have a gay old centennial time breaking down the good stuff but are never in a hurry, with digressions and tangents galore including brain chemistry, the ethical cost of watching people make cookies on television, and the truly sensational impact on our lives our listeners have made!

.

Lego Joe: Molly C!

Thank you so much to everyone who has given us a listen and makes this project so rewarding! Patreon subs you guys are magical. Thank you!!

Love, Cheers, and Chest Bumps!!

Wherein Harry meets the blurry guy!

Harry butts heads with Svartalf bullies, teaches a pacifist when to throw down, and now has to figure out how to explain a big gold ball to the guy cashing him out!

We also learn of further people caught up in the emotional damage hurricane that is Harrys death.... And then we cry.

Next week Bombshells and Cold Days ch 1-2, enjoy the shorties!

Cheers and chest bumps!

Wherein Uriel says that there's a Fallen to blame, but Harry knows...its his own damn fault.

We see the straw that absolutely decimated whatever was left of Molly's mental health camel, and see a much more interesting big action set piece that takes place inside the Grasshopper's squiggly grey stuff!

Butters picks up some nightmare fuel and one for the snapshot, so its probably a wash; Murphy may as well be b ack in Hawaii this week, but Uriel does a cool omniscience expo dumb. But the reveal we all came for doesnt disappoint! Harry learns who really killed him: the dude nad-dogging him from across the bathroom sink!

Serious struggles on podstuction this week, so mind your step, please forgive the dust, and wash hands frequently! Chunk 9 of GHOST Story starts....RIGHT NOW!
