What do toast undertones in wine and autonomous vehicles have in common? Join us on a lively journey where personal anecdotes meet industry insights, starting with Nick's adventurous 10th wedding anniversary trip to Utah. Despite a few health hiccups, the trip was a backdrop to some hilarious comparisons with our friend Zach Freeman, who we jokingly crown as the king of caregiving. Our conversation sips into a spirited tasting session of Unanime, an Argentinian wine, where we explore its rich flavors and humorously debate whether toast is indeed a flavor note. Our camaraderie and curiosity create a blend that's as engaging as it is entertaining. As the episode rolls on, we dive into the seismic waves of the insurance world with Marsh-McLennan's $7.75 billion acquisition of McGriff. It's an elephantine deal that has everyone talking, and we break it down with the help of a delightful metaphor involving Bertie Bott's jelly beans—some flavors you crave, and others you'd rather skip. This conversation leads us to ponder the future of personal auto insurance in the era of autonomous vehicles, challenging the notion that it's headed for extinction. Instead, we foresee an evolution that will redefine the industry landscape. Our latest episode wraps up with tales from the vibrant Wholesale Specialty Insurance Association (WSIA) conference in San Diego. Imagine fashion-forward insurance pros partying like Hollywood stars, all while making meaningful industry connections. We also share our gratitude for the diverse age range of The RiskCeller Podcast's audience, from those just starting their careers to seasoned industry veterans. With listeners spanning decades, we're thrilled to continue bringing you humor, insights, and stories that resonate, as we toast to many more engaging episodes together. Cheers!

Marie is back and she's ready to fill us in on all the exciting things she's been up to since her last appearance. Her stories and updates are sure to entertain and delight as she re-joins the Nerds Talking crew for another fun-filled episode. Next up, we dive into the highly anticipated film "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." Directed and produced by George Miller, this 2024 Australian post-apocalyptic action film is the fifth installment in the Mad Max franchise, serving as both a prequel and spin-off to Mad Max: Fury Road. Set 15 to 20 years before the events of Fury Road, "Furiosa" follows the young title character, played by Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne, as she navigates the harsh desert wasteland. From her kidnapping by the forces of warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) to her revenge for the loss of her mother, the film traces Furiosa's journey from a slave to a trusted lieutenant of the Citadel's cult leader, Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme), and his military commander, Praetorian Jack (Tom Burke). We'll discuss the intense action, stunning visuals, and powerful performances that make this film a must-watch for fans of the franchise. After our film review, we take on the Beanboozle Challenge! Inspired by Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans from the Harry Potter films, this challenge is sure to bring plenty of laughs and maybe a few grimaces as we taste test some of the wackiest and weirdest jelly bean flavors out there. Lastly, Marie enlightens us with a fun and surprising segment: what does a hippopotamus sound like? Prepare to be amazed and amused as she shares her knowledge and perhaps even demonstrates the unique sounds of these fascinating creatures. Don't miss out on all the fun, laughs, and intriguing discussions on this week's episode of Nerds Talking The Podcast!

Yer a wizard, podcast listener! This week we are here to discuss the Harry Potter franchise, its various video game adaptations, and our complicated relationship with the franchise as queer & trans individuals whose childhood fondness for this series has turned sour in our mouths like a bad Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Bean in light of JK R*wling's dangerous and repeated transphobic comments over the past few years. Our guest (and DEAR friend of the pod) Leo Grierson unpacks their feelings with us through the lens of the old PC Harry Potter video games, how we can approach those games (and by proxy, the series,) with a queer eye, why turning out backs on the franchise wholesale isn't necessarily the only way to reckon with this series, and what the current cultural climate around the HP franchise could spell for the upcoming video game Hogwarts Legacy, an "immersive, open-world action RPG" set in the Harry Potter universe set to come out later this year (although let's be honest girl we're pretty sure it's getting delayed...) We also ask ourselves if there is any ethical way  support the game devs/creators of HP content that *aren't* JKR knowing that she's still making money off of the franchise. We don't have a clean-cut answer, but we certainly ponder it!

When Hermione Granger said ' It's LeviOsa, not LevioSA, we know our childhoods were going to take a different magical route altogether. Harry Potter was first released as a book on 26 June 1997. The magical gifts of this phenomenon written by JK Rowling had enchanted everyone in town already. It has since turned out to be such a widely inclusive marvel that from this vantage point, it's difficult to see the full scope of what it accomplished. Be that as it may, Harry Potter changed the world. Having a little more insight over the mastermind of this worldwide phenomenon. Creator J.K. Rowling was an obscure single mother when she first got the thought for her story while stuck on a train. The small UK press business that at last took a risk on it without a doubt couldn't have anticipated that it would measurably have such a huge impact on the population. Now combining this magical enchanting book into toys, how exciting would it be! Having your favorite characters in real-life toys is the wildest fantasy and dream come true for every Potterhead out there. Potterheads and their muggle offspring can allow their imaginations to go crazy with the best Harry Potter toys available. Given below are a few: ● Jada toys Harry Potter figure - These five Harry Potter figures of Hermione, Harry, Ron, Fred, and George are the perfect mischief managed. These toy models are produced using a robust bite the dust cast body with not many ABS plastic and elastic parts on state of craftsmanship fabricating plants using latest in pass-on cast innovation and paint. It is a long lasting and perfect addition to your action figure collection. ● Ron Weasley 5 star figure- The cutest toy figure of the cutest ginger head from the Weasley family comes with its charms. This 3-inch Ron Weasley figure is wearing his Gryffindor scarf and comes in total with a wand and a crate of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Could it be any better? The 5 Star series boasts three points of explanation, permitting the figures to be posed. The window display box bundling mimics the launch of a book. It also includes character-specific accessories, which makes it a great replica of reality. ● Jada toys harry Potter collectible figure- This five-figure set truly sets itself apart. It consists of the characters of Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy, Professor McGonagall, Marcus Flint.

"...if you just want to like, get some ideas, obviously the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Jam is perfect for that...the topics they come up with are always like “Ooh, this would be really fun to write a song about, ooh!” You know, like it's not just... something, basic and prosaic. It's like... ‘muggles in relation to the wizarding world,' like, how would you do that?... what could you write about that? It hasn't been explored much. Feel free to explore whatever you want in relation to wizard rock and expand the universe in the ways that you see fit." -Sagan, Candle Wix See the transcript at WZRDRadioPod.com Support WZRD Radio and Yes All Witches at Patreon.com/WZRDRadioPod

"George had a bogey-flavored one once.” Immortal words spoken by the one & only Ron Weasely, and echoed on our show today as we chow down on Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans. In between dry heaves of swallowing rotten egg- and earthworm-flavored ones, we discuss the mythology of Bertie Bott within the Wizarding World as well as the first time we tried them 20 years ago. This leads to a wide-ranging conversation on Harry Potter, Ashwagandha, meditation, and mental health. To think this all started because of fucking jelly beans.

Wir lesen Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen, und zwar den zweiten Teil von Kapitel 17, "Der Mann mit den zwei Gesichtern". Nachdem Harry von einem 3 Tage anhalten Koma erwacht, wird er von Albus Dumbledore begrüßt, der ihm erklärt, was mit Quirrel und Voldemort passiert ist und anbietet, Fragen zu beantworten. Denn wir alle wissen ja, dass man gerade nach dem Aufstehen besonders fit im Kopf ist! Dafür stellt Harry allerdings ziemlich gute Fragen: Warum will Voldemort ihn umbringen? Was hat Harrys Vater James dem gemeinen Professor Snape getan, dass der Harry jetzt so furchtbar hasst? (Die Antwort auf diese Frage ist ganz offensichtlich gelogen und Sophia und Martin schweifen 30 Jahre ab - in die Ära der Rumtreiber, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin und Peter Pettigrew.)Und wie kam Harry an den Stein? (Antwort: Ein Magier verrät seine Tricks nicht.) Und dann genehmigt Dumbledore sich erst mal eine Bertie Bott's Bohne mit Ohrenschmalzgeschmack, einfach so. Die gnädige Madame Pomfrey lässt nach dem exzentrischen Schulleiter aber zum Glück auch Ron und Hermine rein, die auf seine Geschichte über den Stein der Weisen, Nicolas Flamel, Quirrell und Voldemort angemessen schockiert reagieren. Der letzte Besucher ist Hagrid, der furchtbare Schuldgefühle hat, weil er Voldemort verraten hat, wie man an Fluffy vorbeikommt. Dann schenkt er Harry ein Fotoalbum mit Bildern von James und Lily Potter und Sophia ist zu Tränen gerührt! Zum Schluss passiert alles ganz plötzlich, die Abschlussfeier findet statt, Dumbledore fällt den Slytherins in den Rücken und macht in letzter Sekunde doch noch Gryffindor zum Sieger des Hauspokals, die Schüler fahren mit dem Hogwarts Express zurück nach London, es geht zurück durch die Absperrung an Gleis 9 3/4 und die Dursleys holen Harry von King's Cross ab. Und dann ist das Buch auch schon zu Ende! Aber der Podcast natürlich noch lange nicht, denn es geht weiter mit dem zweiten Buch, Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens. Vorher genehmigen sich Martin und Sophia allerdings eine kurze Sommerpause, um dann am 14. Juli frisch wie der Morgentau zurück ans Werk zu gehen. Wenn so ein Harry Potter Podcast produziert sich ja leider nicht von selbst...T_T (benutzt man dieses "Smiley" noch?)

Wir lesen Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen Kapitel 6, "Abreise von Gleis neundreiviertel". Harrys letzter Monat ist "nicht besonders lustig". Bis es endlich nach Hogwarts geht, hängt er also mit seiner Schneeeule, die er Hedwig getauft hat, in seinem Zimmer rum und liest die Schulbücher. Am 1. September ist es dann endlich so weit und die Dursleys bringen ihn nach London zu King's Cross (sie mussten zum Glück sowieso in die Stadt für Dudleys Schwanzamputation) und Harry taucht endgültig in die Zaubererwelt ein. Er lernt die Weasleys kennen (Molly Weasley hilft ihm dabei durch die Absperrung zum Gleis zu kommen), wir treffen auf Fred und George, Percy und Ginny Weasley und Harry schließt seine erste Freundschaft mit Ron Weasley, mit dem er sich das Abteil im Hogwarts Express teilt. Auch Hermine Granger taucht auf, weil sie nach der Kröte von Neville sucht, aber mit ihr werden die Jungs nicht gleich warm. Sie bleiben lieber für sich und essen den Snackwagen leer - von Bertie Bott's Bohnen bis zu Schokofröschen! Draco Malfoy kommt mit Crabbe und Goyle um die Ecke und will Ärger anzetteln, aber Rons Ratte Krätze vereitelt den Plan. Nach einer langen Fahrt kommen sie in Hogsmeade an und Hagrid führt die Erstklässler über den See zum Schloss - endlich sind sie da, in Hogwarts, der Schule für Hexerei und Zauberei! :) Danke für's Zuhören!

Intro Hi everyone and welcome to Books Between - a podcast for educators, librarians, parents, and everyone who loves middle grade books!  My goal is to help you connect kids between 8-12 with fantastic reads because I believe that a book can change the trajectory of a child’s life.  And I want to help you introduce kids to those amazing, life-shaping books and bring you inspiring (and fun!) conversations with the authors and educators who make that magic happen. I’m your host, Corrina Allen - a mom of two tween girls, a 5th grade teacher, and finally beginning my summer vacation!! Before we begin, I have a few quick announcements! First - a reminder that Monday nights are the #MGBookChat Twitter chats with some really amazing topics coming up this summer like STEM in Middle Grade, Inspiring Kids to Write, Grief in Middle Grade, and several Open Chats where you can bring your own topic to discuss. So if you are like me and have a tendency to forget those sort of things, set a reminder on your phone for Mondays at 9pm EST and check out #MGBookChat on Twitter. Second - I will be at NerdCampMI this July 8th & 9th - so if you are headed that way this summer, please please do say hi. And finally - I am really excited to tell you that I will be rejoining the All the Wonders team as their Podcast Network Developer to produce a new array of shows cultivating a wider variety of perspectives and stories in the world of children’s literature. First up is All the Wonders This Week -  a brief, topical show released every Tuesday where a guest and I will chat about all things wondrous and new in the world of children’s literature. So stay tuned for that this summer! But - no worries - Books Between isn’t going anywhere! This is episode #74 and today’s show features the Top 20 books that my students loved this year, a reflection on what went right and what went wrong for me this last school year, and a conversation with Rajani LaRocca - author of Midsummer’s Mayhem.   Top 20 Student Favorites Let’s start with the top 20 books that my 5th grade students loved and recommended this school year. Because it’s one thing for an adult to enjoy a book, but for it to really make an impact, it has to connect with its intended audience. There have been plenty of books that I loved, but for some reason didn’t seem to resonate with middle grade readers.  Honestly, I think THIS list is way more valuable than ANY list that any adult puts out.   I couple notes before we begin. My students have pretty much free choice to read what they want in class and for homework at night, but we did have two book clubs this year - one in the fall featuring immigrant and refugee experiences and then we just wrapped up our fantasy book clubs. So that context likely influenced what books they had most exposure to. Also - our four main read alouds this year were Home of the Brave, a non-fiction title called When Lunch Fights Back, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and The Thief of Always.  Only two of those made it into this Top 20.   And there are only six graphic novels on this list, which might surprise some adults who like to complain to me that “all kids read these days are those graphic novels”. (Can you hear my eyes rolling?)   I also want to be transparent about how I calculated this “Top 20”. So, at the end of the year, we did various wrap-up and reflection activities. In mid-June, I send out a quick survey one morning asking them for their top reads of the year. They also worked on an end-of-the-year reflection celebration slideshow and one slide was devoted to sharing their favorite books. Also, each student worked on a “Top 10 List” (or” Top 5 List” or whatever - an idea I got from Colby Sharp) listing their most highly recommended books of the year - recommended for their current class and to be shared with the incoming 5th graders. So… I tallied up each time a title was mentioned in any of those places. And here are the top 20 titles my 5th graders loved and recommended.   Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi This graphic novel is still a strong favorite with my fifth graders. Maybe slightly less so this year, but I think that’s because a LOT of them already read it in 4th grade.    Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney Still going strong! Admittedly, not every mention was book one, but the series is a perennial favorite among my students and one that they love to reread in between other books.    Ghost by Jason Reynolds The Track Series has gained a lot of momentum this year - and mainly through word of mouth. It was one of our school’s ProjectLIT selections so there was some buzz around that, but only one of my students was able to make it to those meetings so the popularity of this title is due strictly to kids recommending it to other kids.    Escape from Aleppo by N. H. Senzai This title was one of the immigrant /refugee themed book club selections from the fall and even though just four kids read it in that club, it was quickly passed around after that. If you know children who enjoyed books like Refugee or Amal Unbound, Escape from Aleppo is a great next book to introduce them to next.   Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes Every child that picked this book up and read it, ended up calling it a favorite.    The Books of Elsewhere by Jacqueline West This title was one of our Fantasy Book Club options and it really lends itself to fabulous discussions if you’re looking to round out that genre.   Orphan Island by Laurel Snyder I will admit - I was totally surprised this made the top 20. Not because I don’t like it - I LOVE this book, but I didn’t really witness it being read or talked about a lot past September or October. But clearly it made a lasting impact on those that did read it.   Dog Man by Dav Pilkey In the same vein as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, this series of books are the go-to rereads when a student isn’t sure what they want to read next. It’s one of those comfort reads that always winds up back in their book boxes.   Be Prepared by Vera Brosgol This graphic novel was passed from kid to kid this year with so many of them reading it multiple times.   Rain Reign by Ann M. Martin Which was a second shocker to me because this novel is a class read-aloud in 3rd grade. So all the love for this one came from students who remembered it fondly and reread it. Maybe because I happened to have a few copies in our room? Which reminds me to make sure to have those previous year’s titles available in our classroom library.   Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins Another one of our hot fantasy book club picks - this series is a winner. Year and after kids fall in love with the characters! And it will make you fall in love with a cockroach. That’s some powerful writing!   Smile by Raina Telgemeier Still…. after all these years. This book has that special spark.   Crush by Svetlana Chmakova  When this graphic novel came out in this past October, I bought one copy and immediately the kids grabbed a pen and paper and started their own waiting list.    The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix  The credit for this book’s popularity falls squarely to a book trailer that our school librarian showed our class. It got us all sooo hooked that I splurged a bit and bought three copies for our classroom. And it just took off from there. In fact, I haven’t even read the darn thing yet because I could never get my hands on a copy. And actually, I think it’s the only title on this list that I haven’t read.    Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson Because…. of course!  And actually, our classroom copy of this book didn’t even make it past March. The spine cracked and then the pages started falling apart, so I’ve got to get another copy for the fall. It was clearly well-loved.    Blended by Sharon Draper Whoa did this novel take my class by storm!  And it wasn’t part of a book club, it wasn’t a read aloud, it didn’t have a snazzy book trailer - it just really resonated with kids. And they just kept recommending it to each other.   Front Desk by Kelly Yang This was THE hot title this fall!  It was one of the choices for our immigrant/refugee book clubs but unlike some of the other titles, this one had a huge resurgence after the clubs ended with kids rereading and passing it along to their friends all through the year. It was constantly in someone’s book box.    The Unicorn Rescue Society by Adam Gidwitz & Hatem Aly This was another fantasy book club option. And I think, the popularity of this book is really due to the fact that it had a phenomenal book trailer that hooked kids with it’s humor. It was also a shorter book with lots of great illustrations so kids quickly finished it, passed it along and were on to the next in the series.    Okay - we are down to the top two. And not surprisingly, they are both class read alouds. It makes sense that the books every child read or listened to would be high on a list of class favorites. But as I said before, two of our read alouds didn’t make the cut so these two truly did connect with the class.   The Thief of Always by Clive Barker Oh my word is this book amazing!  And for many students - it’s their first foray into horror. The chapter illustrations are gruesome and disturbing and wonderful…. If you know kids that like scary books with that paranormal twist… who like something a little weird - this book is perfect!  And it makes a really great read aloud.   Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling I added this one as a read aloud this year since it was the 20th anniversary, and I honestly wasn’t sure if the kids were going to like it.  That first book does have a slow start, but it was by far their top rated read aloud and the title most frequently found on their favorites lists and their recommended lists.  Harry’s still got the magic.   Reflection   One of the most important aspects of our last few weeks together at school is time for student reflection and feedback for me and my own reflection on what went well this past year and… what did not.    First, let me share with you 5 things that stood out in my students’ final feedback survey. And yes, this is information from a particular class, but I think you’ll find something useful to take away from their responses as well. When asked what they liked most about class, the top responses were Flash-light Fridays (where we turned off all the lights and they got to read with flashlights anywhere in the room), the read alouds, all the Harry Potter activities (house sorting, trying Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, I sent them acceptance letters to Hogawarts, etc.), and doing the one-pagers. When asked what changes I should make for next year, they suggested more book clubs, students getting to vote on our read alouds, and… many of them said they don’t like sitting in groups. That they wanted to be spread out more and have their own space. (Which is interesting - because a couple years ago I came REALLY close to doing away with individual desks and switching to tables and mainly flexible seating options that have been very popular and whenever I have brought that up, my students have consistently told me - they like their own desk and their own space.) When asked “Did you read more or less than last year?”, 33% said a little more and 50% said a lot more. And only one child said that they read less this year.  When asked how I could be a better teacher, the most common responses were to give more reading time, read more books aloud, and a suggestion to ask kids to read even more each night. When asked what books we should have more of in our classroom library, they wanted more scary books, more books with magic, more books in a series, more poetry, and of course, more graphic novels.   So those were some big takeaways from the feedback from my students. And of course, as I reflect and revise and look for professional development opportunities over the summer, I pair their feedback with the things I saw going well and also things that did not. Here are some “wins” and some “fails” from this past year. A win - the book clubs centered around immigrant and refugee stories. Students learned a lot, had a new perspective on events they may see in the news, and bottom line - just really enjoyed those books.  Since many students requested more book clubs, I am considering adding another round or two - perhaps centered around neurodiversity and understanding ourselves and others.  A fail - not reading nearly enough poetry and nonfiction. So if I think about expanding book clubs, perhaps shifting a little to a poetry reading club or clubs that want to explore a particular nonfiction topic might be a way to go.  A win - read alouds kicked butt this year.  After three times reading aloud Thief of Always, I had the voices down, and I finally felt like I knew that story inside and out and could take them places this year that I never would have even realized the first time we read it together. That just reinforces to me how much can be gained be rereading a text multiple times.    A fail - not reading enough shorter texts - picture books and short stories. And also, every single one of our read alouds this year featured a male protagonist. And I am NOT letting that happen again next year. Or ANY year! Nooo way! A win - when a student told me she wanted to read books with gay, trans, and queer characters, within 3 minutes I was able to gather a huge stack from our classroom library to plop on her desk so she could find something that might appeal to her.  A fail - she didn’t know we had that many titles! I had book-talked many of them, but next year - maybe I’ll have a “Read with Pride” bin to rotate some of those titles in and out.  I want to be careful to not “other” those stories and separate all of them, but I do want students to be able to find them easily.  A win - students read far more diversely this year than any prior year. And I had many, many boys who without much reservation read Baby Sitter’s Club books, and books about girls getting their periods, and other novels with female protagonists that in year’s past might be met with push-back and laughter.  I am maybe seeing a possible cultural shift there. Maybe. I’m hoping.  A fail - not taking enough time to explicitly explore bias and structural racism, the impact of social norms and honestly - all the things that are tricky to talk about but that NEED to be talked about.  And that was better this year, but still not enough.   And I know this is not the work of a summer but the work of a whole career, a whole lifetime.    And as always, we are learning together so I’d really love to hear from you about any feedback you received from the children you work with, what your successes and misses were this past year, and what books your kids loved. You can connect with me on Twitter or Instagram - our handle is @books_between or email me at booksbetween@gmail.com and I’d love to share your ideas. Rajani LaRocca - Interview Outline   Joining me this week is debut author Rajani LaRocca! We chat about baking, Shakespeare, the novels that influenced her as a child, writing ideas for kids, her unparalleled skill at finding the perfect GIF, and  of course - her debut novel Midsummer’s Mayhem!   Take a listen.   Midsummer’s Mayhem   For our listeners who have not yet read Midsummer’s Mayhem - what is this story about?   You novel has so many elements that I love - a bit of mystery, a dash of earthy magic,  - it’s like The Great British Baking Show meets Shakespeare! And the recipes are so mouth-watering, so unique! Did you actually make all of the recipes in the book? Can we talk about Vik?!  I had no idea until the very end which way he was going to go. I love how you created this mystery surrounding him that was multi-sensory - not just visual, but musical, and the earthy scents of the forest….   Mimi is very inspired by Puffy Fay - her celebrity chef idol. Who is your celebrity writing idol?   A very important question - do you say “JIF” or “GIF”?   However you say it, you are the QUEEN of the Gif!!   Your Writing Life   You said recently, “Often when I sit down to write a chapter, something surprising happens, and things go in a completely different direction than I’d planned.”  What was one of those moments in Midsummer’s Mayhem?   My students and kids are always eager to hear writing advice from authors.  What’s a tip or trick that you’ve picked up along the way that has helped your writing?    What are you working on now?   Your Reading Life   You’ve mentioned before that the books you read as a child helped shape who you are today. What were some of those books?   What are some books that you’ve read lately that you’d recommend to our listeners?   Thank you!   Links:   Rajani’s website - https://www.rajanilarocca.com Rajani on Twitter - @rajanilarocca Rajani on Instagram - @rajanilarocca   Books and topics we chatted about: A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine L’Engle) Meet the Austins (Madeleine L’Engle) The Arm of the Starfish (Madeleine L’Engle) The Westing Game (Ellen Raskin) The Chronicles of Narnia (C.S.

Kat, Leo and Bcom return to break down the 3rd week of the Spring 2019 anime season! After an intro where Kat channels her perfect impression of Laura Bailey’s Tohru Honda, Bcom kicks off the nonsense section by warning people off SAO: Alicization, and raving about Nichijou. Kat gives her spoiler-filled thoughts on the 3rd and 4th episodes of the final season of Game of Thrones. She then somehow traumatizes herself by comparing Kyou’s “dud” rice balls with Bertie Bott’s booger-flavored beans in our discussion of this week’s Fruits Basket. Kat also predicts that Leo will die due to a lack of chives in his diet. Leo can’t get over Doppio’s bizarre name and Kat fact-checks the amount of iron that would be available in the human body to pull off some of Risotto’s stand powers. Nezuko catches up on some much-needed sleep while Tanjiro spends 2 years on an epic shounen training arc in Demon Slayer. Bcom feels like Dororo’s latest episode covered some of the same ground unnecessarily, but Kat was more focused on the viability of sexing up a ghoul. Attack on Titan started a few weeks late, so we finally get a chance to dive into the first episode of season 3’s second half. Let’s be honest, it’s just season 4. Kat has some Tank Top Trouble telling characters apart in One Punch Man and her inner gyaru girl leaks out. We have a butt suckin’ good time talking about Enta’s hallucinations in the latest episode of Sarazanmai. Bcom is pissed that everyone ordered the same exact pizza at Carole and Tuesday’s meeting with their new manager, and Kat explains that no girl in their right mind goes swimming in full make-up. We also debate the realism of New Yorkers joining in with the Dancing Laundry musical scene, rather than yelling at the girls to shut up.Recorded May 6, 2019.

Blurry cellphone footage of an early trailer for a huge Harry Potter game has us giddy like Dobby on Buckbeak eating some Bertie Bott's over the Whomping Willow.
