Okay, NOBODY likes having to start working immediately when you wake up. Especially when it turns out literally every single one of your coworkers has called in dead. BUT THEN there's that twist where it's "bring your dragon to work day" and you're like "oh fuck yeah I'm really glad I climbed that tower"

On today's episode, we're talking about as much Dragonflight stuff as we can, contemplating what the exodar tastes like, and we're drafting four NPCs to form a rock band with!

Mixed Drink of the Week (Bentolas - Exodar)

-2 shots black cherry white claw

-1 shot blackberry brandy

From the TB headquarters on the foamy streets of Milwaukee, welcome to episode 39 of Thralls Balls. On today's episode, we catch up after a couple weeks, and we are drafting our top 5 most hated dungeons! Quick note for those who were unaware, I apologize for being gone two weeks in a row. For transparency, my dad died and I had a lot to tend to. But we're here now! And I'd also like to say thank you deeply, from the bottom of my heart, to everybody who reached out. We don't really need to dwell on such a sad topic, but I wanted to acknowledge it all the same.

Mixed Drink of the Week (Fuck yeah!)

Gnomeregan

-lime jello shot

-vodka-infused gummy "gear" suspended in shot

Next week: Bentolas picks!

On today's episode, we've got stuff to say about 9.2, Bentolas becomes the first person other than Woolly to take on the mixed drink of the week, and we are drafting our top three favorite Mixed Drinks of the Week!

If you'd like to, you can leave one at WarcraftRadio.com/directory. You can email us at [email protected]. You can even leave one on iTunes if you've a mind to. You can tweet at us, as well. @ThrallsBallsPod

If you have left one anywhere else, we aren't likely to have seen it.

I want to take a minute to mention Warcraft Radio. This might feel like an ad, but it isn't. It's more like a badge of appreciation.

We've mentioned offhand what WCR is, but it's essentially a podcast network. We're listed in their directory. WCR put a ton of work into maintaining their directory and their website, so if you like our podcast, go check out some other ones as well! And as long as you're there, you can leave a review for us that we'd be happy to teabag you with...otherwise known as "reading it on the show."

Warcraftradio.com/directory

Mixed Drink of the Week: Orgrimmar

-3/4 shot Amaretto

-small amount of 151 on top

-Light the shot, drop it into a cup of light beer, and chug

Please only drink if you are legally able to. We are not responsible for any consequences of your own choices.
