11/13/24 • 80 min

We debate whether or not Robert Jordan's intimate proclivities made their way into his writing, before discussing our upcoming special episodes as well as catching up on what we've been reading outside of the show. Egwene gets tortured while our girls make a plan to free her from her neck prison, Bornhald decides ahead of time to get himself killed, and Verin is definitely not trying to work backwards to make prophecies come to pass.

We're back, and with several bangs! Come get cozy with us as we remember that time when Rand tried to burn down the fireworks factory, that time when Mat and Perrin met their first Aiel before immediately realizing that Rand is one, and that other time when Bayle Domon was heartwarmingly adopted by Turak the Dinosaur Hunter.

This week, Tyler begins writing his erotic Wheel of Time fan fiction and we compare The Great Hunt so far to its television counterpart before getting into Cairhienen consonant bombs, Moiraine's red flags, and Nynaeve's wild DMT trip while chilling in the Aes Sedai isolation tanks. Don't forget to watch to watch Naked and Afraid In a Maze, coming this fall!

Come for the first of many badass moments from the Dragon Reborn, stay for the unusually high levels of horniness that carry through this week's chapters!
