NB: READ AN ACTUAL GOOD BOOK PLEASE
Choose Life. Choose a university education. Choose a horse. Choose a girl. Choose an accent. No, a different accent. No, no, no, a different accent. Choose Pegs. Choose a dragon but its vegan so actually it's a Draccus. Choose not to do sexual assault. Choose the friendzone. Choose to tell your entire life story to a Chronicler, rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable bar, nothing more than an embarrassment to your own pathetic legacy. Choose The Name of The Wind. Choose Kvothe.

NB: we already recorded the next episode so you can't actually send in questions
This episode we cover the absolute worst part of the book, and basically everything good we had to say about it gets thrown in the trash by the sheer revolting existence of Chapter 69 (....not nice).
We still manage to have a lot of fun along the way though - tune in to hear the 7 words that will make our listeners fall in love with us, hypothesize on the meaning of "fuck me red lipstick" (fuck me, red lipstick?), and ask the most important question of all: When did the sex number invented?
WE MADE A TWITTER ACTUALLY! It's @killer_kvothe

NB: Remember to block Pat on Twitter!
This week we get into University!! Congraduations to us!! Wait - why is there a CHILD here??
In our discussion of chapters 26 - 54 we uncover Pat's plagarism of Yugioh GX, explore Arkham Asylum with the Joker, and determine that Fire Emblem Three Houses is the greatest story ever told, using the metric "how many shippable characters are there?".
We also cautiously broach the topic of..... "Portrayal of Women in Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicle" (and by cautiously broach i mean 'become justifiably enraged by').

NB: This episode contains discussion of sexual assault. Or i should say - more discussion of sexual assault than usual. why is pat Like This.
This week we read chapters 1-25! We meet the Blue Man Group, discover what would happen if a theatre kid was also a gamer, and look frantically to see if there's any actual 'story' inside all these vibes and aesthetics. where is it pat. give us the story patrick.
Daniel's audio occasionally cuts out so don't worry its not your phone doing that its the file.

NB: This was recorded in january and you can no longer buy Sarah's knitwear products or participate in Summer's insta story RPG. Sorry i took so long to edit this one lads
Before we read any of Name of the Wind, we sit down and discuss the things we remember about it, establishing how Kvothepilled each of us are. We talk about Kvothe a bit but mostly we talk about the topic of Patrick Rothfuss, his relationship to Joss Whedon and... the post.
