Episode 40: Forever Bitter
Episode 40 for the week of February 27th, in which we discuss (and imagine) The Maester’s Path with absolutely no envy or bitterness whatsoever. We discuss chapter 68 of A Game of Thrones, and derail incessantly. We are joined by guest host FaBio, from Winter is Coming, who educates us about merkins and various other important things.

Thank’s for stopping by our favorite podcast FaBihoff hopefully you’ll stop by again sometime in the future.

Mimi, I am disappoint.
The reason glistening manhood smells like glistening womanhood is because that’s what it is glistening with.

I tried to point that out to Mimi but she wasn’t having any of it.

Tom
Oh, she’ll have it…
Ok, enough of being creepy.
To be fair, at least half the mentions of glistening manhood are about Hodoy just after swimming. Unless he’s got something going on in the hottub, I think Mimi’s in the right here.

For some reason I was thinking that reference was an after-sexed Khal Drogo.
“Mmm. Tastes like Khaleesi.”

I never realized before how much I giggle. Like a schoolgirl.
Street cred!
That makes me triple sexy.

Heh, when the name Fabio came up, I thought of Top Chef too.

I can’t believe we got all the way to episode 40 before revealing Chase as a D&D nerd. I have been playing the same Ptolus campaign for 4 years, which recently went on indefinite hiatus. My grief is overwhelming.

The last time I played D&D we still had to calculate THAC0. None of my “adult” friends are nerdy enough to get into it. 🙁

Dude. Clearly you have the wrong friends. Next time I swing through [name of city removed] I should beat you over the head with Tomb of Horrors.

Dan and the two of you live in the same state. Perhaps a Game of
Thrones RPG session would be appropriate? If you don’t live too far apart, that is.

Oh man – I am salivating to play the RPG. This plan would be made of win, but I think Dan is a sconnie. Correct me if I’m wrong.

This episode had me smiling/ laughing all the way though. More speculation on the smells of in future eps, please. My guess on the smell of child prostitution : Love’s Baby Soft and desperation. Also agrees that glistening womanhood is at least a component in the smell of glistening manhood. Why did this conversation entertain me so much? I have issues. Anyway, great ep. Anyone else doing the peepee dance of anticipation now that we have a concrete release date for ADWD? just me? Oh.

Thank YOU for your nicknames.

Thanks for this! I thought it was going to be a one line link, lol. Awesome
And our fans are leaping to our defence!
We can’t please everyone, obviously. The fact that people are willing to vouch for us in the face of opposition pleases me more than if we only received lavish praise (it is easier to jump on a hate or love bandwagon.
And Mimi has more fans crushing on her than Chase again, order has been restored.

Oh podcast, now I am going to picture Mimi’s head on a T-rex body for the rest of my days. May not have gotten a lot done but still very entertaining and funny. Though I was expecting so much more from “Surviving Edged Weapons.”

This is the first of your podcasts I have listened to. Very entertaining (I’m still in the middle. It seems that Mimi is somewhat obsessed with the notion of lawyers and being sued. As a lawyer, and half of Bjork Brothers Present: A Game of Thrones, I will now think of ways for the Brothers Bjork to sue your asses. I just need to find some laws banning discussion of merkins or excessive penis-related banter.

Mimi, I was horrified to hear you don’t have a stalker yet! If you would let me, I would gladly fill that role!

Oh, FaBio. Hilarious and crazy as always. 🙂
Great episode!
