I love that of all the schwift / glidus stream series the food one is the one that's actually going to get finished

I won't rest until they rank Lady Hornwood's fingers 🙏 Greatest snub of all time

There's nothing quite like awaking from your slumber to a chorus of "Lord Beeeeesbury"

"Can you IMAGINE waiting 11 years for a book?" *delirious laughter*

I'm not sure how much exactly I would pay for a full ASOIAF audiobook with schaft as narrator and glimbick doing the voices, but I would pay a lot

This is all we have at this point. 12 years of theorizing can make the mind turn to mashed potatoes, with butter, and bacon bits, and sour cream, salted to perfection.

"What is puking but the body saying 'I don't want it'?" Bravo

For the soundboard: of course "she kind of forgot about" and "secret tunnel!" I would further like to suggest "you're ruining EVERYTHING" -Sansa to Arya when she's fighting Joffrey and "seven hells" -Arya when Sansa goes on about how Joffrey is a golden lion

I like the idea of King Robert fighting giant crabs. He's probably used to fighting flea sized ones

waiting with bated breath for theon’s live rat

at 2:23:17 Alt Schwift X refers to himself as Alt Shift X?!?! someone please explain because those 2 people could not be more different

I love listening to my favorite elderly couple bickering and talking about dragons and food.

"Other things can dribble down people's chins!" - Glimbo, 2023

I literally fell asleep last night listening to the first two food description rankings, this is a sign from the old gods.

You really never know where these streams will go, thematically. Now they're talking about why mice have tails. All these tangents. All Alt Schwift X and Glidus streams are 10/10 in my book.

Nice shout-out to Davidreadsasoiaf. I try to spread the word whenever I can about this channel, those narrations are so good. I find them far superior to the official audiobook and I would be devastated if he deletes his channel. Also its the Reach that has the southern accent and it works perfectly. Then he performs every song in the story as well, with instruments. It's pretty incredible what he did all on his own.

An interesting note on the idea of language tending towards brevity - this is due to the fact that indo-european languages (incl. English) were horrifically complex, and have kind of had nowhere to go but towards simplicity. Many other language families are markedly less complex in comparison, and mandarin, for example, is actively becoming more complex.

2:32:20 Ah, so Jon is into monster girls. Might make marrying a whitewalker a bit easier edit: Omg Glidus's "people listen to us" and Schwifty's panicked stream ending is perfection.

One of my favourite additions that are show only was Catelyn talking to Talisa about Jon Snow. I dont know really WHY I like it. I guess it shows that Cat does feel remorse and guilt for how she treated Jon who was objectively entirely blameless for what she believed were her husbands sins. I am not saying Cats feelings arent valid. I like that she is like that, she is a human being after all. It was a well done scene!

can't believe they made another one on these, but the world will continue spinning, the grease chining (the verb of chin) , and the AOIAF community will continue procrastinating doing their main projects.

It's not the Dornish who have southern drawls--it's the Reachers and it's AMAZING. It's the exact perfect accent for those southern bells. A stroke of true genius.

Loving this series! Before this series I really thought George's food descriptions were excessive and indulgent, but now I think they're excessive, indulgent, and profoundly meaningful as metaphors!

I would just like to answer a question of this livestream and say that there are 4 degrees of wikipedia separation from the Asshai section of the World of Ice and Fire wikipedia page and Noam Chomsky; namely Asshai -> Amethyst -> Koine Greek -> Grammar -> Noam Chomsky

This series of streams has the best thumbnails on youtube

I think Feast for Crows is underrated.

Just lost my job, needed this. Thanks guys ❤

The publishers will be looking for a new voice for TWOW audiobook. If I had the power I’d nominate you two. Glidus throwing a tantrum in sweet robins voice was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Glimbu and swæft should really dive into twin peaks, that would complete me

I always thought the egg that cersei opens is a miscarriage.

YEEEEES, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR PART THREE!!!! How you manage to come up with this stuff AND make it so enjoyable is a testament to the great vibes, chemistry, humor and content you make together Much love from Curaçao (I listen to these while doing boring chores around the house that would otherwise make my brain go 🫠)

Mr Schwift, I realize that you might not read this and also not be interested. But I'd like to recommend reading the realm of the elderlings books, as they share a lot of similar themes with asoiaf, although unlike George's work, they're finished.

I understand now there's a dozen version of Winds with different POVs

I love that Schwifty is legitimately a separate split personality to Alt Shift X.

43:29 Tangent but reading nahsa always reminded me of maas, which is the afrikanner pronunciation of amasi, fermented milk in isizulu, which I am fond of. Used it a lot in baking (I like to substitute it for greek or other thicker yogurts when in America/Europe which makes for a nice alternative that's still tart, but i've also been told buttermilk is similar). I remember people mixing it with milk or mieliepap when I was a child. Most definitely not an intentional parallel, but a fun little conicidence, which to me is what makes writing of all forms so wonderful.

that "german voice" was fucking ON POINT 2:30:40 ish. Run RIGHT OVER Glimbus...or wtfever his name was/is/will be. "Where the hell did that come from???" LOLOLOLLLOOOOOOOOL

Not gonna lie, EVERY time you play the Jon Snow clip you got an out loud laugh from me! Great comedy timing you two. Love ya!

Stormlight Archive is a strong argument for the power of oversized crabs

Feast is genuinely my favorite ASOIAF book 🥴

I love these videos I listen while working and rewatch to help fall asleep. this video has a perfect balance of stimulating and unstimulating content.

These live streams have so nicely synched up with my reread of asoiaf. Last time it was ASOS when I was reading it, and now it's the same with AFFC. And I have to say, on reread, AFFC is tied for my favourite asoiaf book.

I might have a tasty rock to throw at ya - have you seen the show Severance? Since I've watched it my tinfoil hat has been working overtime... it only has one season so far and a bit of extra lore (season 2 is in the making), but I absolutely love the original and dark idea it's based on and the meticulous details, can't wait to discover more about that world, and hoping that you and Glimbus will catch the bug too so we can talk some theories on a livestream ^^ Also, incase you really read these comments - you are one of my favorite content creators, I might not have survived the long ass wait for winds of winter without you. Thanks for the quality, consistency and magnificent voice

So many would be thrilled with a Three Body Problem discussion!

There ought to be a "Tailoring Tier List" at this point. I recall Georgie going hard on all the cloth-of-gold, gilding, gem-encrusting, and embroidery.

This is a feast for my ears.

>why didn't he just say hummus? Hummus is old, but it only became popular in the English speaking word in the last 50 years. Its a pretty recent loanword. GRRM is just going for an olde timey feel to his vocab, nuncle

Just finished the stream now, loved it, had to comment that when Petyr tells Sansa to change, it’s out of dead Lisa’s fineries that she was very fond of. He was telling her to dress her station as “his bastard daughter”.

Finally got around to reading asoiaf and I have to thank y’all for alerting me to the absolute gem that is Dolorous Ed

I love y’all, but I really don’t think either of you understand what “lightning round“ actually means.

I gotta say even though Feast is a slow, weird book it’s my favorite book in the series. It’s very dark and it’s a slow burn but I love it so much

I can't believe we're still going with this, good on y'all for keeping up with this.. do you eat while you do this? Would that make your ranking more biased or less if you analyzed these while hungry?

I appreciate that 40k reference with Laenor

yyuussss "there are coincidences in the real world that means nothing...there is no illuminati" Schwifty, 2023.

Lots of love for being a Juice Media fan. ❤

feast is my favorite in the series by far. such a surprising meditation on the fallout of war

Schwifty has returned to bless us with more descriptions of food.

these streams are so comfy

Would absolutely love an Archer livestream!

Idk who these guys are but they're funny asf or what ASOIAF is haven't seen or read it but im hooked on these food description video series and i play it in the background while I fall asleep sometimes

Archer stream from you guys - yes, please! Not dissing the rest of the streams. They’re delightfully silly and insightful.

Love this series :D

I didn't say anything last time because I thought tons of people would have corrected you, but in Scott Pilgrim it's actually Todd Ingram that punches a hole on the moon for Ramona. Later on, Envy tells that he did the same for her, explaining why there are two holes on the moon.

The Alt Shift X format seems perfect for something like True Detective

Hummus is often made with lemon juice... Maybe he's avoiding many of the lemon references ;)

Oh my lord you’ve blessed us with another costream.

“Other things can dribble down people’s chins”…”oh goodness” I’m fucking dead never stop these streams.

There’s no precedent for a dragon bonding with a second living rider but I don’t think they necessarily have to tie themselves in knots over avoiding it, it’s pretty obscure and not even a hard rule that’s been clearly established. If Laenor just isn’t around I think that’s reason enough for Seasmoke to remarry.

With the pace schwift and glidus are going at, they are George Martin writ small

One thing: sharks come in many different sizes, from the size of a person's hand to the giant whale shark. So fighting a bunch of shark-sized crabs could be no biggie.

I’m drunk. And I’m watching this while eating rice pudding

I listening to this on national cannibal day… I’ve been hongry!

i LIVE for these ASOIAF food descriptions

I honestly think Feast is the best book in the series. It goes so deep into the motivations of the characters.

Please do an archer ranking based on their drinks choices.

I would eat Samwell Tarly. I could fix every one of his self esteem issues. Move aside, Gilly, more grease for my chin.

I think what Shwifto was trying to say is that similar patterns in reality can point to a underlying fact of the matter since there is no intent so it can help you understand processes, while similar patterns in fiction moreso hint at a specific intent a creator tries to convey.

I live for these.

Slept through the livestream but cant wait to watch

I'm glad I watched DHMIS just in time to get that egg reference. Pesky Bee! ( Not Lord Beesbury, nothing pesky about him! 🐝🐝🐝)

Your Robin impression is PERFECT

Oh lord They gone done did yet another one of these :D This makes Martin a happy camper :) Skål from da Norf, and keep up the good work And. . . SECRET TUNNEEEEEEEEEL !!!

Apparently gulls eggs are a highly sought ingredient and very delicious

So happy Tlön, Uqbar, orbus Tertius got a shoutout - it’s about fans and fandoms!! And theory streamers!! Not even kidding

HOW DO I KEEP MISSING THESE ??? I'M ON YT 24/7

The long waited trilogy

Thankyou for doing this during the Orthodox pentecost fast

While reading agot I realized that Ser Rodrick is a bed.. " Ser Rodrick said, "I have thought on how best to proceed while I lay abed" This is clear and undeniable evidence

Just from the end of the stream, I'd absolutely love a video/some videos on Asimov's Foundation books (or even the entire universe from Robots through Empire to Foundation). Either that or some stuff on Le Guin's Hainish Cycle books would be cool

About the 1:43:00 is mark: Robert took the throne as he had Targaryen blood through his grandma. I forget where its stated, but they chose him as he had a blood claim

I consider it a great betrayal that KZfaq did not notify me immediately after this was uploaded but here I am, ready for it!

Everything slowing down after a long hiatus is very on brand.

Spinning the wheel until the Fat Man sings!!!! love it

The only series worth watching

love the dragon-eating question.

I would love to see some Twin Peaks content someday!!

yyyuuuussss!!! i love that we're all thinking now of WHEN not IF winds is coming out...ALL OF THE ABRIDGED! IN MY FACE!!!

I’m so sad I missed this I love these

that rap news NWO episode is amazing

48:31 I listened to this particular part as I was literally buttering a piece of toasted sourdough lol

I cannot believe I missed this stream...

I know you won't see this but if you do mount and blade ONE is very manageable and should be winnable in like 3 streams if you know how the game works, it's very easy and fun to command the armies in horse command and siege command
