Fireside Chat for WWW ep12 "Prisoner's Dilemma"
Added 2023-08-08 09:00:05 +0000 UTCThe sword comes down but the Fireside Chat comes...OUT!? Thats right, here it is, the Fireside Feed's most famous chat show: Fireside Chat. This week on the show the gang (minus Lou, plus shy guest Thelonious Rigel) digs into the chaos and consequences of the interrogation, how many eps left in the arc, how fun it is to CUSS, and certain...decisions...of key party members, including "What would have happened if Lou had rolled worse." CRACKLE CRACKLE, Yonders!

2024-06-20 19:01:38 +0000 UTCVery unfair for yall to make me feel things during the talk back episode, regarding naram sending the blood out to protect him and it coming full circle like damn

2024-06-13 18:03:31 +0000 UTCBrennan is usually very wise but just a heads up you should absolutely start CPR ASAP, if you wait for the paramedics the chance of survival plummets from very low to basically none. That said I am neither a US citizen or a witch lawyer so this doesn’t constitute legal advice :-D
Finbar Rickman
2024-06-03 10:46:48 +0000 UTCAs the WWW episodes go on and especially throughout these firesides, the more we learn that Suvi has a growing cache of harmful words prepared to unload on Ame. Do we think she's also prepped some harmful spells with Ame's name on them?

2024-03-13 00:02:07 +0000 UTCI have never identified with Brennan less than him considering his story unusual for a group project. I always did the entire project. That was just life. I hated group projects. It weirds me out when my students choose group work.

2024-01-11 03:46:21 +0000 UTCMy sister has a story of using confidence/flirting to get past security to go in to see her mom in the hospital at the height of covid. She even went so far as to buy scrubs and a clipboard. She also used a hard hat and a walkie talkie to go to an "off bounds" area while rock hounding because the corporation used the off bounds area to find stones for their jewelry. Confidence plays a huge part in getting passed people.
Melanie
2023-12-17 02:50:20 +0000 UTCAs soon as Brennan asked who we kill in FMK, it had to be Findley. Truth has been spoken.

Shannon Leimbach
2023-09-21 11:06:50 +0000 UTCIt is always super powerful for me to listen to these chats and hear folks chatting, but especially for these last few episodes because Steel is an adult that made me want to never have children and to fuck everything up forever, and the gentling effect of distance is good because I love listening to this story and making things along to it so so much! Clarification: Steel is a caring adult in an uncaring society - the sort of person who doesn't do bad things, but who also is inherently untrustworthy. Childhood landed a bit heavy. We're working with it.
Jonesey
2023-09-19 02:11:50 +0000 UTCI have a VERY similar story to Brennan’s in that I went on a trip to Ireland and convinced all the other Americans I was indeed from Ireland and grew up there. And that this was my first time back since I was a child. (I was like 15… still a child) I was successful in convincing almost everyone. For what reason? There was none
Sky Rowan
2023-09-02 14:42:38 +0000 UTCI just wanna point out, if you have a clip board, you can walk into just about any restaurant kitchen in the country (USA). And you wouldn’t be questioned.
Sky Rowan
2023-09-02 14:40:30 +0000 UTCThat’s what happened with me too, I was able to listen to the ep when it came out on Overcast, and the next day it was unavailable. I wasn’t sure if this particular glitch was just on my end, or if other folks were having the same issue. Thanks for taking the time to explain what the issue might be!

Taylor Ledford
2023-08-23 20:21:14 +0000 UTCI started listening again...and I've already heard this one, so it might be something that happened after the original release? I listen to podcasts exclusively through Overcast.
Jeff Manning
2023-08-22 14:34:40 +0000 UTCMacro (sole maker of Overcast) is upfront about not having time/resources to read through mountains of support tickets, but I sent him a nice one asking about this. As a software engineer myself, I'm assuming there was simply some malformed, missing or wrong XML in the RSS generation for each of our feeds. Perhaps other podcatchers have been able to handle it?
Jeff Manning
2023-08-22 14:29:45 +0000 UTCSame for me, I was just able to get fireside chat for ep. 13...this one still shows "Not Authorized".
Jeff Manning
2023-08-22 14:20:47 +0000 UTCSame for me! I tried re-adding the RSS feed, but that didn’t seem to do anything
Rebecca Knisely
2023-08-22 09:47:42 +0000 UTCThis episode doesn’t seem to be available on the RSS feed anymore? I’m not sure if it’s a problem with Overcast specifically or what might be going on, but so far it’s only episode 12 that’s having trouble.
Gabrielle Rippey
2023-08-21 19:55:56 +0000 UTCI needed this fireside chat! The episode was fun, funny, entertaining, and simultaneously deeply emotional and analogous to my current personal roller coaster. Distinct parts of me resonate with Aabria, Erika and Lou, and I'm always grateful for my 'Brennans' who catalyze and celebrate my ability to be my most authentic self. I thought my Dropout subscription was the best, but truly this Patreon is keeping me going ❤️
Jasmine Gill
2023-08-18 04:16:33 +0000 UTCAfter Brennan said "Is FURIOUS that we're playing DnD" I opened the app to like that sentence. Then remembered that's not a thing you can do.

J Esteban
2023-08-14 14:04:21 +0000 UTCI love hearing about Erika's adventures with Taliesin. Why was Brennan parking cars as a 12 year old? Why didn't Brennan try to get paid for his solo group project? And it was depressing.
Christie Joesbury
2023-08-13 22:07:39 +0000 UTCAlso check your state laws because some states have enacted a statutory Miranda right - which means even if we do get a bad scotus case (ie abrogating Miranda) there may still be protections in your state. Colorado passed something recently, for example
Antonia Diener
2023-08-13 15:24:42 +0000 UTCEDIT: I am a lawyer but not your lawyer Cops do need to mirandize you but only if you are subject to a custodial interrogation - so most of the time they just claim (and judges agree) that you aren’t in custody. The recent SCOTUS case was about there not being a civil remedy - so you can’t sue for them not mirandizing you. The point stands: we don’t talk to the cops! (But also if you do, don’t give them false info because they can charge you for that)
Antonia Diener
2023-08-13 15:20:44 +0000 UTCSimilar to Brennan's "funny" college story, "Ame's boat adventure" feels just as tragic as it is funny. It really personifies the theme about how witches walk both worlds yet are not truly a part of either. Ame rushes off from Suvi, her human companion, to follow quest fever with her Honoured Friend, Eursulon. Yet even after rushing away from Suvi, who kinda embodies empire and humanity, Ame finds herself unable to follow Eursulon because he goes a way only a spirit could. She finds herself stuck in a hilariously awkward, yet unbeknowingly tragic and dangerous, position. Suvi is left within her Empire walls, Eursulon is deep beneath the waves with his spirit brother Naram(?), but Ame is left with a stolen boat and a stolen cloak (and of course the fox too)

2023-08-13 07:46:16 +0000 UTCThe fact that Taylor made the witches law and order theme at the end killed me, sooo funny. Adore you all

2023-08-12 22:51:05 +0000 UTCApparently the drinking age in Rome was different for types of drinks. Anyone could drink beer but only free men over 35 could drink wine. But that loosened up sometime towards the height of the Empire.

Erik Parsons
2023-08-10 04:04:08 +0000 UTCI love that the end of this fireside chat implies that Thelonius Rigel is a being that only speaks in instrumental musics
Khara Daniels
2023-08-10 03:13:46 +0000 UTCThis is such a beautiful and incisive analysis - I love the idea that as the Sword of the Citadel (and in that moment, representative of the Empire), Steel transcends her individual humanity and becomes an embodiment of those forces, not so different from Naram being an embodiment of the sea, or Orima of the Reaching Green. And Ame affords her all the ritual and deference that such an embodiment calls for. But then there’s another wrinkle on top - Brennan doesn’t play Steel as *only* a symbol. She expresses very human and caring concerns for all of them. She moves back and forth between the individual and the symbol, and Ame demonstrates wisdom and intuition navigating the exchange skillfully.

Sean Case
2023-08-09 19:38:09 +0000 UTCTo Brennan: hope you’re able to put out the fires and get sustainable soon! But also, kind of funny to witness the brainwaves created by utter exhaustiobasketbasketbasketball.
Beignet Gesserit
2023-08-09 19:24:08 +0000 UTCThe absolute bop at the end - thanks Taylor
Tyler Quijada
2023-08-09 19:23:43 +0000 UTCSee, because here’s the thing. Lou probably couldn’t make it to this fireside, which is why Thelonius didn’t speak. But. I also think Lou is exactly the kind of person to have been fully in the room and just committed to the bit

2023-08-09 14:00:46 +0000 UTCAhhh I can't wait for the palylist. Would it be possible to make it available on a non-spotify platform too?
Ickle Tayto
2023-08-09 12:22:26 +0000 UTCI completely agree. She is going to think that she has been doing everything out of love for Suvi and duty to the empire, and sees those as the same thing. After all, it turned out her parents "were going to betray the citadel. They got too close. They betrayed me so I had to kill them. But you were innocent. I raised you as my own." Ect, ect. I'm not sure how deep it goes, but I think she put the curse on GW at the least. Killed the parents at the worst.
Amy Davidson
2023-08-09 12:16:49 +0000 UTCIf a betrayal comes I don't even think it'll be from a "hah, I tricked you with my machinations!" kind of thing, but rather that at the end of the day she is the foremost general of a militaristic empire who has a duty to achieve results by whatever means. Right now she is sticking to her justice guns, but that whole "sometimes, if you're clever enough, you can turn what hurts you into a weapon of your own" speech made it pretty clear (to me) she's not above weaponizing other peoples' stuff under the guise of offering aid.

Norah Clous
2023-08-09 06:01:43 +0000 UTCIs it just me, or is Brennan setting up a long term betrayal from Steel? I don't think it will be this, ir even the bect arc, but... she's just a little too enlightened about spirits and feels a little deus ex machina.
Amy Davidson
2023-08-09 05:16:12 +0000 UTCIt's funny that literally just today I renewed my CPR certification. Brennan, after you call 911 you are, in fact, supposed to swoop in and start CPR if at all possible. Regular people save lives that way all the time. But you know... 🎵 you can't know everything all of the time🎵. So no shade my dude.
Amy Davidson
2023-08-09 05:08:16 +0000 UTCIf there were a podcast with Erika and Taliesin called Trouble We've Gotten Into I would be hitting the top tier of that patreon, I am just saying
Hex Sharpe
2023-08-09 05:01:54 +0000 UTCAbsolutely not surprised that Erika's story about confidently breaking rules to sneak places involves Taliesin
Hex Sharpe
2023-08-09 04:30:00 +0000 UTCIt’s been five minutes and I’m still not sure if Lou is committed to a bit or just isn’t there
Jay Yoder
2023-08-09 04:23:33 +0000 UTCBrennan, if you didn't want everyone to perv after your bad guys, you should stop voicing them like The Witcher 😂. That gravel kills every time man

AliceH
2023-08-09 03:20:46 +0000 UTC(i have paused the episode because y’all are discussing an Eursulon plushie) i won’t claim to know how any of this works, however if there could be a collab between this podcast and Fluffnest i would simply be OVER THE MOON. i came across them in my quest for a Paw Paw - possum, for those unindoctrinated to NADDPOD - that wasn’t a nightmarish sin from wool hell. all their stuff is so very good and cute. Brennan, they do have a crow plushie. i’m JUST saying. additionally, controversy be d*rned: feelings ARE good and important!!! excuse my language
bails
2023-08-09 03:13:40 +0000 UTCAlso, I love that the interaction with Gelani basically confirms that Suvi is a nepo-baby 🤣
Emma41420
2023-08-09 02:42:11 +0000 UTCIt makes perfect sense to me that the Empire wouldn't have a legal drinking age, because they have child soldiers. A throughline of this story seems to be interrogating the ways power (military-industrial complex lol) can shape social relationships and the development of identity. I love hearing how Aabria plays Suvi's moments of vulnerability and (im)maturity.

2023-08-09 00:24:23 +0000 UTCAlso, I appreciate the Will Gallows vs Naram hotness discussion... but I'm surprised Steel didn't make the list. Knows how to use the sword, is caring, educated AND can be hella intimidating? 1000/10
Shara Turner
2023-08-09 00:03:56 +0000 UTCPretty sure Erika said you could send it to their PO Box and they’d get it to the squad. I don’t think they have one just for the show yet. Not sure what it is so I’d check the other socials.

2023-08-08 17:58:02 +0000 UTCDecided to look up who composed the L&O theme and the guy (Mike Post) wrote so many iconic tv themes? And produced Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, AND Van Halen?! Thanks for leading me to this Wikipedia rabbit hole, Fireside.

2023-08-08 17:38:19 +0000 UTCLoved the episode! Always so funny, heartwarming, and thoughtful. I have a couple of thoughts about Steel and her relation to the rest of the party in Episode 12 inspired by what was said in the fireside chat. (1) I loved what Brennan said about Steel being the character that hates that people are playing D&D. It reminds me of Eursulon's whole dilemma of there being no room for Knights in a world of Empire -- D&D tracing back thematically to Lord of the Rings, which itself traces back to medieval chivalric tales. D&D (traditionally) is about a small group of people who defeat a grand evil by themselves, which is very archaic, as opposed to the machinery of the Empire and the Citadel thrusting itself down on the problem. (2) The thing Steel was mad about being the lack of transparency/communication is also fascinating in comparison to (SW CA) Grandma Wren who says that a "Witch must always have her secrets" and doesn't demand that same kind of transparency from Ame. This seems very indicative of the difference between how Witches and Wizards (and their respective institutions/lack thereof) view knowledge. (3) Lastly, I found it curious that Brennan mentioned how it's remarkable how good Ame is at speaking to both Great Spirits and Steel, given that they are on the opposite sides of a human-spirit scale. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I feel like Ame's tone was actually quite similar when speaking to Orima and Steel. There's something here about how, although an empire is made out of people, collectively they become something rigid that has an almost unshakeable nature, almost becoming like a spirit themselves. The Empire (and its representatives) can't NOT orient themselves towards war, in the same way that Orima can't NOT fight for her husband. In that way, dealing with them as Ame does is actually surprisingly similar.

Chad Harrison
2023-08-08 15:33:01 +0000 UTCI love the parallels between the end of this episode and the children's adventure when Ame ans Eursolon ran into the woods and Suvi stayed back to clean up the mess. And that as a child Eursolon didn't know he could be trapped. Now he knows and took the risk to free another spirit. It's such beautiful storytelling, y'all.

2023-08-08 15:16:35 +0000 UTCI really hope Lou was there and just sat silent for an hour because he was that committed to the bit.

2023-08-08 14:49:05 +0000 UTCSomeone tell Brennan that his college story wasn't sad because he did all the work (we've all been there), it was sad because he heard two stories about his friends lying to sneak into parties and concerts and went "I have an equivalent experience right here" Never change my dude

Cian
2023-08-08 13:49:43 +0000 UTCOh listening to this made me realize the parallels between the moment at Grandmother Wren's when Ame is bringing Eursulon back to the doorway to the Spirit World, and Suvi can't go because it means she'll be out after dark (a command from an authority figure). And here again, Ame is running to accompany Eursulon on a Spirit Thing, and Suvi can't go because of a command from an authority figure. It's like they've all been operating under different rules since they were children.

Mr. Crafte
2023-08-08 11:58:47 +0000 UTC(Insert mandatory “I’m a lawyer not your lawyer” language here.) Miranda rights have always been tied to custodial interrogation. Pop culture just made it seem like it was related to the time of arrest. The big 2022 case involved limitations on how individuals can seek redress for the violation of their Miranda rights by police - not the substance of or timing of Miranda rights. It was still an absolutely evil and bullshit decision, but it was just more specific than that because Lawyers.

2023-08-08 11:44:42 +0000 UTCMiranda rights update in case you look here before googling (I paused and googled because I couldn't handle waiting): the Supreme Court changed the law so police have to mirandize before questioning in custody (as opposed to at time of arrest), and cannot be sued for damages, protecting police from civil liability.
