Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun Dun Da-da-da-dunnnnnnnnn da-da-dunnnnnnnn. It's Fire and Blood! It's like A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones but worse! I hope you're ready for us to lay the groundwork and then we're gonna invade Westeros so that we can die and put our butt-named son on the throne after us. Is this what you want? Is this what you people are here for??

A special bonus episode! This week we discuss Harry Potter in detail. We spend a lot of time analyzing the books in great detail, including concepts such as "what is a philosopher stone even?" We did avoid mention of the author, this is just pure Harry Potter discussion. You won't find coverage of Harry Potter like this anywhere else on the internet!

This week the boys talk about the first book in the Animorphs series. They talk about it. Like a book club. They don't just read the book into the microphone. Anyone who listens to it for like 1 minute would get this. It's not actually that complicated or hard to comprehend or understand. If we were to read this book it would take longer than an hour. You would have to be some sort of souless algorithm or a total moron to not grasp that this is fair use and not copyright infringement. It's not. You want to come after me for the $0 I made off of this? After I paid you money to read your book and sing its praises? Eat me, Scholastic.
