Fireside Chat for A County Affair ep1: "CRIME-a-doodle-doo!"

I’m the 666th like now me and Phillip are twins

Nicholas Savage AKA Eursulon’s knight in training

I mean honestly I would love to see Brennan given a shot at joker, be it animated or live action i feel like he'd shine in his own way 😂🤣

Blaize Gordon

This episode is truelly unhinged and I'm here for every second of it. Yall made my day.

Daxeah

Eeeeeey

Kyle Chapman

#JusticeForThePrincess #BrennansWolfStory

Kael McDonald

Y'all are *so* unhinged together, and I am Here For It™.

Danielle St John

Damn x) I love the energy from each one of you but also somehow the energy and emotions from the group you is greater than the sum of its parts! <3

Fabian Rosdalen

I love that this means that when Lord Squak found out about his cousin's secret child, he freaked the fuck out over it and then didn't say anything about his own secret child...

rio

…the wolf story????

Christopher Underhill

I'm in a joyful emotion burrito of this loving chaos

Genna

Hey, the transcript appears to be the wrong file for this one.

TalkingCube

I actually choked, I laughed so damn hard.

A.McMullen

You ever laugh so hard you give yourself a headache? In actual tears over here listening to this chaos and loving every second of it 😭😭😭😂

Megan

I have never met or heard of people who love the Ocean’s movies as much as I do, so this has been an absolute delight!! (Also too true about the laser sequence in 12; it’s much shorter than my memory tells me)

Sophronia

Truly hilarious episode but it got me thinking. Lou's pinata trauma perfectly encapsulates one of the flaws of our society. Someone with a natural gift (strength in this case) is not allowed to utilize or celebrate that gift because other people without it will somehow feel bad or inadequate. I know it happened at a party but this kind of thing happens all the time in adult life, especially in the workforce.

The Lazy Mage

Justice for the princess!

Moku Z

Where do we send our cheques for our “Put on the Moth and I’m basically a tardigrade and cannot die” merch?

Meridith

Note to self; don't listen to this in public. Or when you are writing a creative piece that has nothing to do with animals.

Charjed

I laughed so hard I scared my dog.

Salvatore Testa

So when do we get Erika's Playlist for this one?

Jackaloop

I had to sit down on the floor I was laughing so hard.

Jennifer Sieben

Ruthie is my favorite

Panda

I've been getting into 40k so I'm really curious to hear Erika's take on chaos to see the warp through that lens

Conor Steinke

This is the ultimate comfort episode of all time

Alyssa

Me neither. Lou is famous for his hysterics, but this is the first time I have heard Brennan literally wheezing.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Jack Nickolson is wearing his own clothes as the Joker, I'm with Brennan here- great joker

Katie P.

Just hysterically laughed for like 56 minutes, thanks guys! ❤️

James Genovese

The Prince song/video referenced is “Partyman”. There are two videos, the original “song” cut and an extended cut that is essentially a short (mini) film. Link to extended video - https://youtu.be/4zqaTU5bGx8

skipclarke

Hysterical!! Also my sexy Will Gallows cosplay is getting a homemade Jared Leto joker crop top option omfg

lunarsummer

I assumed the name inspiration/theme song for It’s a Winner was “Every 1’s a Winner” by Hot Chocolate

Celine Parker

y’alls joy is infectious. thank you for existing

Moss

This episode was wild and I loved every minute

Herbert Shear IV

This is my absolute favorite everything. This banter. This podcast. These Clever Creators. I can’t get enough.

Jaci

Aw man Thank you!!:D you too! I feel inspired to make squash pasta today♡

Ruvi

Well at this point i Gotta keep the mystery going. Am i writing an essay rn? Who can say

Ruvi

If yall could just do a special fireside of yall just running off random tangents I feel like i'd die laughing. I love this podcast/patreon.

DaShawn Coleman

ooof the Big Kid Trauma(TM) right at the end got me right in the feels, that whole episode was a banger!

Rush VanD

SO glad to hear Jack Nicholson brought up. Iconic.

H. Jean Garvey

8 minutes in and this is the strangest episode of Make Some Noise

Connor

The four of you can make literally anything both funny and inspiring. You’re little talks would create so much magic in the lore of the worlds you guys create.

Duncan Harkins

I can't articulate how hard and consistently honest to God painfully I laughed throughout this.

Ian Beattie

I'm going to need a I'm a Jumping Jaguar you fucks! Merch. Pls and thx

Brittany-Marie

Im listening to this on tbe drive home from work in the company truck and my coworker is giving me weird looks because Im laughing so hard in an otherwise quiet vehicle. You guys are the bestest!

henry parks

Can't wait for the April Fools One-Shot 'The Joke's on You' featuring Lou as the Joker, Erika as the Joker, Aabria as the Joker, and Brennan as the Joker.

You turned Lou into a timid tadpole!

Bryan Guess

Now I'm not gonna Google it. Sorry Stephen J. Gold, now I'll never know who you are unless they get to 150,000 subscribers.

steve

Y'all are completely unhinged and I need more!

Jeanniesaurus

Aabria got adopted as a McElroy and it's contagious and spreading. Or at least MBMBaM is USUALLY the podcast I'm listening to when the talk goes fully off the rails into Jared Leto Joker deep lore

Hex Sharpe

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Phoenix Vizva’i

This was so wonderfully unhinged. 🤣

Simon Mills

I've never heard Brennan break so hard as the Having-kittens-hellbender moment.

Munchkin

But have you considered..Jared Leto Jared Leto?

lilgreenghoulie e

Yes! I was just waiting for Jack Nicholson to come up! (I was hoping I wasn't just too old!!)

Jeni Craswell

The perfect fireside vibe for the county affair episode!

Paul Gude

Brennan, thank you so much for putting into words the exact reason I’ve always preferred Jack Nicholson’s Batman over Heath Ledger’s. I’ve tried for ages to put it into words and people just end up mad at me. Ledger’s performance was great! It just didn’t feel like The Joker.

Kyle

My friend was on the JoCo cruise and when I asked her to tell me everything about it, she mentioned that she saw Erika, Aabria and friends running and everywhere. AND NOW WE KNOW WHY

Madelynn von Baeyer

Well this was a whole lot of uncontrollable laughter at work...

Pat & Heather

DiMaggio deserves a bit more credit for his few rides in the Joker Ferris Wheel.

Ignacio Segura Montero

They have exactly the same amount of chainmail as usual, it just comes off more frequently than in other parties.

Ignacio Segura Montero

It’s a Candle Cove scenario!! D:

Ignacio Segura Montero

Honestly yeah that was a great Joker. Hamill still eats tho.

amBarthes

O.o

AliceH

Please if they allow it put up a pic on the discord. The world must be made aware.

readingunderpressure

This talk was more unhinged than a sliding door factory. I salute this crew of Chaotic Caudata.

Ceedubelu

I have two good friends of mine that have the “ha ha ha” Jared Leto tattoo on different parts of their bodies. The bit where it gets weird is they both got the tattoos before seeing Jared Leto actually play the joker. They also got the tattoos separately and without knowing the other one got it

thomas Sykes

Brennan - because I think you have a teacher's heart. I was laughing in the shower about the Animal Farm question.Then I remembered me in high school. What if the student is a fan of WBN? What if they had a choice of books to read, and one was Animal Farm? I could imagine me wondering if Animal Farm has funny parts like A County Affair does. I might be brave enough to ask the cast. I would absolutely say that I hadn't read the book because I wouldn't want you to think I was a poser. And the joking would have crushed me.

Meg Shallanberger

He’s a creepy predator who’s been preying on underage fans of his band for like 15 years or so.

Francis Rutherford

That would be cool too

Francis Rutherford

I mean I don't have the cash to make this happen, but can we commission you folks for the chaos discussion? Bonus points if you include dunking on Peterson.

Kristian Gregory

Not at all! 😂 Supervision on night shift is almost non-existent though, and he'd toss on an appropriate shirt before morning shift (and management) arrived. That we have security cameras everywhere wasn't lost on anyone either. They had to have known and seen it, and just decided not to care so long as he covered it before normal business hours.

Christopher Mihatsch

Brennan, Sorry to hear about your punctuation problem. Victor Borge can help... https://youtu.be/TIf3IfHCoiE?feature=shared

Tristan Hull

Desperate to know if this was *generally* considered work appropriate attire at that time/place or.......?????

AliceH

Ok but Taylor absolutely leaving no survivors with his end music choices 😂😂

christie botos

This was my favourite flash bang of words in a while 😂

Jerrome

oh oh oh jared leto 🫡

Liss Outwater

Lou, I feel your piñata pain. I too had to be the finisher after everyone else took a swing at bat.

Sean Young

JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO

Tyler Gob

How do we see the number of subs? (For context, I found it.) I need to know where we are on those stretch goals! I mean I know who S.J.G. is. I fundamentally disagree with the concept of nonoverlapping magisteria. But I kind of need to hear Brennan's take.

Matt Zofchak

Where did the JARED LETO description go?? Did I dream it?

Finnley!

Joy is so neat!

abfg616

100k patrons fingers crossed

abfg616

Aabria has a MULTI Vash the Stampede cosplayer body count?! We stan. Also, hey Aabria... any love for Wolfwood players? ;)

Daniel Richardson

A polycule is just an adventuring party with (slightly) less chainmail.

J. Griffin Hughes

With all the talk of Joker tees and Lou's drawing, I think it is vital that there be a t-shirt made with his exact Joker napkin sketch on the front. The back can say World's Beyond Number, maybe have a quote from the conversation, kinda like a concert tee, but mostly for ease of explaining what the hell the shirt is about for those out of the loop -- which will be a lot, as it's a niche of a niche of a niche. But for those of us who know, oh, the love and solidarity we will share, like the love engendered by the Tony Pepperoni Batman shirt.

J. Griffin Hughes

JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO JARED LETO

Matt Gosper

It is honestly just a matter of time before polyamory gets mentioned on any dnd podcast. Not everyone who plays dnd is poly but EVERYONE who is poly has played dnd

Katie Whaley

Does anyone have a list of all of Lou’s understudies??

Demelza Walkden

Justice for princess !!

starlings

my favorite thing about worlds beyond number is that you can tell they’re just 4 besties goofin & gabbin & that they love each other so much

WizardScorch

Truly nothing was accomplished but bits

Masochismet

*Blue mustache emoji*

Brittany-Marie

Aabria's admittance of a Vash the stampede thing was something that opened my 3rd eye with no warning

Kevin Jones

WHAT IS THE WOLF STORY

Nicole Matta

the noise/surprised laugh that escaped from Brennan around 47:25 mins, i had to go back and listen to it 8 more times

Autumnis_Prime

I'm pretty sure "(Which ive not read, for context)" is meant to explain why they asked, just in case the stories are absolutely nothing alike

natasha

I'm kinda bummed they changed the description lol

natasha

My name got said, day made

jonathan holland

I have never felt more represented.

Kiera Faye

Yay! Trigun representation!

Duckmu

This is blatant scabbing

Jack Wilkinson

Gave me an actual frighten because I hate Jared Leto a lot 😂

Rahne

I feel like Brennan's wolf story is for sure that he just kissed a furry lmao

Mushroom Morgan

How many patrons do we have to get for the original Im da joker honey drawing reveal?

MLoud

NO I NEED TO KNOW THE WOLF STORY. I suspect there's tloz involved. Zelda and Wolf Link. but I need . details. and god as my witness I absolutely need pictures

Rafael C

I actually agree with this take

Nandi Kayyy

The emotional whiplash of gut laughing with joy to wanting to argue with Brennan over the Dark Knight Trilogy (knowing full well how ill equipped I am for such a foolish endeavour), then right back into gut laughing...ahhhh, I needed this unbridled CHAOTIC delight today! 😜 Also, I stand with the Hamill/Ledger camp, but throwing some love to DiMaggio and Tudyk as well! 🤡

Jordan T. Maxwell

The true best Joker is Zach Galafianakis as Lego Joker in The Lego Batman Movie. The playfulness, the ambition, the sheer unbridled homoeroticism. Can't be touched.

remmingitis

The one piece is real

FusRohNahSon

Maybe we can realistically leave it at a J***d L**o trigger warning.

CSN

🧑‍🚒

CSN

Brennan's soft, fervent "oh, no" when erika said every one of their boyfriends has dressed up as the joker. i felt that in my SOUL

Quint

There's something very funny about saying "HONOR SYSTEM" with intense gravity.

CSN

I wish I had gotten a picture of it, but I worked with a guy who had and wore - to work - a shirt with Jared Leto's Joker on the front and a naked Harley Quinn (explicit parts barely censored with stars) on the back. Yes, they had superimposed Margot Robbie's face onto the body. 🙄

Christopher Mihatsch

Only 64,305 more members needed #wolfstoryXD

Katie Butler

The mental high five with Aabria about her Vash the Stampede body count.

Mia Mac-Pry

every bit as unhinged as A County Affair. very fitting

Sara

terrified tadpole

Kole Tomić

Big Zoom Energy on this one.

Rowan Sauer

The end credits cut right at the best part of the song. Not sure how these fireside chats get more unhinged every time but they do.

Michelle Spurgeon

Beware, Jared Leton, the Fuck Prince of Crime.

SuperSnac90

Brennan is right about the joyless comic-hating Nolan movies.

Jeremy

Arc 3? So all of Arc 2 has been recorded already? Hell ya

Giant Tom Hanks

Jared Leto can Klump.

Cory Harbak

I just need wild animations of this. Please.

Billdow00

I am RABID for the wolf story and also the LOTR story if those are different. The cruelty of saying there's a story and not telling it!

Laura Jane Hamilton

Looks like Lou is actually a Biffed It Bullfrog.

Garrett Sharpe

Sorry I posted too soon, "I've got multiple Vash the Stampede cosplayer bodycount." is a sentence that fully activated my Manchurian candidate programming.

Borangehat

Catch me in my Jared Letterman jacket

Meghan Lewis

Never have I been more afraid to listen to an episode based on the description.

Borangehat

Here the the Steven Jay Gould shoutout.

Josh Neff

I'll tell you guys who Stephen Jay Gould is for free right now and there's nothing you can do to stop me

Thomas Flott

Can't wait for the transcript because I want to share Brennan's murder hobo/attachment speech to every one of my players.

Michael Link

I want a “justice for the princess” pin!

Jenny

You heard it here first, kids! Too much pesky oxygen getting you down? Press play on that latest Worlds Beyond Number, and laugh your way to the CO2-rich environment of your dreams! Disclaimer: Comment does not represent the worldview and environmental strategy of cast / crew / characters, or reality(/ies) itself.

Meghan Lewis

Brennan is correct, Nicholson and Hamil. Joker is not supposed to have that level of depth. People only do the Joker because there is an umambiguous, objectively correct answer to the Best Batman question.

Lilith Evenstar

Concerned caecilian

lilgreenghoulie e

Just an idea: patreon stretch goal that Brennan shares the Wolf Story and DeepBlueInk animates it

mguin

Trying to parse that description, at first I thought it was implying that you were recording in person *with* Jared Leto, which was very worrisome given his known history as a pedophilic rapist sack of shit.

xatlern

Thank you for answering my question! Anxious Amphibian was inspired by an Environment & Ecology class I took which also taught me a lot about sustainability, glad you had fun with the name

AnxiousAmphibian

Damnit iphone Lou’s***

Loud ability to fully break Brennan remains unchecked

Nothing has ever filled me with more dread than this notification

Agreed. They should have a flashback bonus.

As someone who’s worked in a lot of kitchens, I can safely say line cooks make up at least 90% of the Jared Leto Joker T-Shirt wearer demographic

JARED LETO

Jhy Gildowan

I feel like there now has to be a piñata in the next A County Affair

Kevin Goodwin

Hey I love y’all to bits but as one of the people who was a minor that Jared Leto tried to groom/abuse it’s just not lovely to see his name on here a million times, he’s a know predator. Please don’t even as a joke use his name, it’s really painful to those of us who are victims. Thank you 🙇🏻‍♂️

Francis Rutherford

PRECISELY THIS

Tamara Oliver

Listening to this ASAP just so I can get the context for this insane description 😂

the hero of this podcast is Ruvi. wherever you are, i hope the sun shines brightly on you and you have all your favorite foods today

Miriam Meeks

So cursed

Caitlyn Dill

Haha my thoughts exactly

I've never woken up to a scarier notification

We need A County Affair Halloween one shot where we meet I'm Da'Joker Honey, please 🙏
