It is at last time to finish up the Pussin's Arc with chapter 60! We're putting on our jobes in honor of history's most tragic bruh moment. Jiang Cheng has been epicly memed, Wei Wuxian hambones, Wen Qing explains things queerly, and your leftist Communist Marxist (fascist) hosts are dying hard and loving controversy, as usual. Intro: Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You, arr. & perf. by Olivia Lin Outro: Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall; arr. & perf. by Fabio Vetro Also used: Frederic Chopin – Nocturne in E-Flat, Op. 9, No. 2, perf. by James Galway Noisespace | Patreon | Tumblr | Discord | Twitter | Fallon | Roy

The plot rememberers have logged back on, and this time we're reading chapters 58 and 59, parts III and IV of the "Poisons" arc! These chapters are extremely sad, but don't worry, we found the worst ways possible to have fun with them. Jiang Cheng feels a mother's love for the first time in his life, Wei Wuxian is catatonic (but hurgling), Wen Ning don't snitch, and Wen Zhuliu gets a good and funny voice as well as good and funny thoughts. Also, your hosts explore all of the things you can make a bong out of, create divorce boat schematics, and have a squeege with the lads.

This week, your hosts are logging into their little accounts and posting their little takes about chapter 57, "Poisons--pt. III," and if you thought Madam Yu would never give an #EpicClapback then we kindly invite you to spit out your cereal. In this chapter, Wei Wuxian is disrespectful to dirt (Wen Chao), the Wen sect officially crosses the disgusting event horizon, and we learn that no matter how magic a teen may be, getting grounded is still the ultimate punishment. Meanwhile, your hosts discuss sexy robot maid twins, how good Megamind (2010) is, and the power words of "Keanu Xichen."

We’re high on podcasting, babey! This week, we sit down and click like on chapter 56, part I of the “Poisons” arc. Wei Wuxian is back home, ready to be awarded some good boy points, Madam Yu gets added to Smash, faildad Jiang Fengmian takes the failfamily on a nice failcation, and the Q writers do some more baby torment. Sorry your hosts are like this, by the way! Intro: Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You, arr. & perf. by Olivia Lin Outro: Kirk van Houten - Can I Borrow a Feeling?

It’s Fat Xuanwu Week, so what can we say? Big episode, big turtle. We did the unthinkable and read three entire chapters: 53-55, parts 3-5 of the “Courage” arc! In these ones, Lan Wangji makes the Sophie’s choice between “leg” or “virginity”,” Wei Wuxian uses how annoying he is medicine, and everybody has severe Tool Video Brain. Well, except for your hosts, who are too busy reminiscing about 1977 horror film Death Bed: The Bed That Eats. All this and a beautiful baby birthday treat for a beautiful baby birthday boy!

We have bad news and good news. Fallon’s mom is going to be visiting us for a bit and we were planning on getting an episode out before then, but the bad news is our schedule hit a snag and that wasn’t able to happen. The good news is we aren’t leaving you totally hanging! This past Thursday was Jiang Cheng’s birthday, and what will be this episode’s Google Translate Essence Collection is in honor of the rude man himself! So this may not be a full episode, but we hope you enjoy this little snack of a segment before it joins the rest of episode 56 sometime (goku willing) around November 17th. Happy birthday, jiujiu! May all your glutinous catgirl dreams come true!

We’re really in it now, Ariana, and “it” is chapter 51, “Courage—part 1.” We’ve finally managed to make it back to content that was in the donghua (remember the donghua?)! It’s flashback time, and specifically it’s the flashback time when Madam Yu and her skateboarding meidos Epicly Own her son, all the kids go to fascism camp, Lan Wangji has an out-of-Bobby experience, and MXTX once again decides to tell us fuck all about one of the most interesting side characters she’s created. Best of all, Jiang Yanli is finally here to up our TTPP (Total Treats Per Page) ratio!

This week we needed to bring chief cultivator Scout on to help us get through chapter 50, the final section of the “Guile” arc, because it sure is a chapter where many things happen! In this installment, Wei Wuxian gets back to his meat sack, everybody tries to come party in Little Uncle’s Sleepy Palace, and we bid a couple of solemn RIPs to Nie Mingjue. We’re talking magic encephalitis. We’re talking disappointing female character arcs. We’re talking Jiang Cheng’s worst habits. We’re talking baseball surgery. Just mind the bongs.

The jgiiy is up! This is a very important episode, not only because hunk of the show and Mr. Podcasts János is here with us, but also because MXTX let Nie Huaisang say Fuck. It's chapter 49, "Guile--part IV." Nie Mingjue has a heated gaming moment, Jin Guangyao is friends with a felon, and Wei Wuxian declares his past self cringe. Hop on the trolley (problem) and join us!

Anger is the color of our energy this episode, as we read chapter 48, "Guile--part III!" Nie Mingjue('s head) does a very unique form of venting and causes Wei Wuxian to witness his adventures as he Logs Into His Damn Account and experiences some intermediate to advanced drama. Jiggy does Influencer Voice a lot, Lan Xichen says the most heterosexual thing imaginable, and we try to do our dick diligence despite having to discuss some very unfortunate literary ownership.

We made it to 50 entire episodes so we decided to celebrate by letting you (the listeners) ask us (the hosts) whatever you want (questions)! Apologies for the amount of time we spend scrounging Google Image Search and inside the concept of Swedish furniture retailer Ikea. Hopefully, between transmuting rice into hockey pucks and listening to twink ASMR, we provide answers! Intro: Luis Fonsi ft.

(CW because I forgot to record a warning: discussions of child death, gaslighting, and other forms of psychological abuse) Happy Manlet Monday, everybody! We've made it to 50 entire episodes, and to celebrate, sworn NoiseSpace brother of the show Jordan has joined us to tackle the longest chapter of the entire novel, chapter 47, "Guile--part II!" Today we take the Jin Sect Memorial Clout Highway to a big fancy party where we finally get to meet Jin "Jiggy" Guangyao and his wife, an extremely normal couple who definitely have nothing bad happening in their relationship, and then Wei Wuxian does arts and crafts in order to discover some pretty run-of-the-mill secret torture room stuff. We worked very hard in the fandom mines to bring you this, so we hope you enjoy and don't cancel anyone's wives!

Hey, remember the cut-up zombie parts that are the reason this novel's plot is happening? In chapter 46, "Guile--Part I," we finally learn who they belong to (his name is Charles)! This week, your hosts exit the liminal space known as "the toilet" and get down to Will Grahaming it through Lan Xichen's tragic ordeal of identifying a body by its dick. That's the whole chapter, really. Just kind of a lot of nude dead man dick. Sorry Don’t forget to send us some question for our upcoming Q&A bonus episode!

Last week we saw a lot of funny comedy drunkenness, so it's only right that this week our very own Chief Cultivator/Entergage Officer Colin At Padgettish joins us to talk about The Morning After. In chapter 45, the third and final installment of the "Allure" arc, the gang splits up, teaches us some folklore, ignores respect, cultivates the Dao of Fortnite, and says R.I.P. to Bluto-jun. Also we spend a surprising amount of time at Busch Gardens, where Lan Wangji cosplays both Fabio and the Unabomber. Don't forget to send us some question for our upcoming Q&A bonus episode!

There are chapters of the web novel Mo Dao Zu Shi, and then there are Looney Tunes shorts, and chapters 43 and 44 are kind of both. They're also the horniest chapters we've read so far. In the first two parts of the "Allure" arc, Wen Ning details causing an SCP containment breach, we learn the joke of Lan Jingyi (chicken), Lan Wangji places Wei Wuxian under Fucker's Arrest, and between all of these things, we discover the Key of the Genious. This episode is brought to you by the letters E and G!

We did it. The "Grasses" arc is done, and now that we've made it to chapter 4-diddly-2, we can move on with our damn lives. Wei Wuxian puts on his jeans tuxedo, gives a bunch of little boys depression, and teaches Lan Wangji about distribution of labor. Song Lan learns how to use a microwave. Jin Guangyao unfortunately does some comrade shit. But most importantly, we follow The Genious's Way and deny Xue Yang his woobie clout. Intro: Tyga ft.

Since we'd spend 90% of this episode saying the words "become the damn Joker" if we were left by ourselves, we brought professional podcast Scorpio (Nie) MJ on to bring us some clout. We've made it to chapter 41, which means we FINALLY get to exit the Empathy zone. But not before Xue Yang decides to be the most normal he's ever been. It sucks but we're almost done with him. We taste the fruit punch of Christ, salute A-Qing so hard, and at last return to our funny comedy boys in the present time. Hell arc. Sorry. Intro: Tyga ft.

Y'all ever live with someone for 2 years and never bother asking your roommate what his name is? After reading chapter 40, "Grasses," part 8, we can't help but wonder whether doing that might have been able to solve a lot of the problems here. Not a very fun chapter, but we did spend almost 2 hours and 20 fuck minutes talking about it. Wei Wuxian yells at Forensic Files, Xue Yang puts on his tactical clown nose and reads us his manifesto, and we mourn the dream team that could have been Song Lan and A-Qing giving one of this novel's 7 murder twinks (Maybe More) an awful waffle.

This week on PodRecesses, we needed a jury of three in order to--with no pleasure in our hearts--declare Xiao Xingchen a centrist, and sect leader of the show Sarah McCostumes was more than willing to lay the law down. We spend about 20 minutes making eyeball jokes, then talk about chapter 39, "Grasses" part 7, where everyone makes everyone else experience situations and which, like every book from Neil Gaiman's Stardust to Frank Sherbert's Dude, may very well be having themes. Still no idea what's up with the possibly sentient zombie cow in this chapter, though. Intro: Tyga ft.
