Always a great time!

Tolkien wanted to book Feliz Ortiz for the Hobbit but he didn't have the decency to exist yet.

Allen pulling a book out mid conversation is a life changer

47:36 "more than you know" HAHAHAHAHAHA

Always love CWN co-hosted by the JAW himself, J Allen Walker.

This was so so fun I think you have the best live audience jimmy good banter just wanted to say it was my first time here and I really enjoyed it 😊

Allen quoting Taylor Swift, so good! :D

Great, as always 😂 So pleased you enjoyed Remains of the Day!

I spit out my drink when Allen started singing the Paul Simon song haha

So many laughs, you two never disappoint ❤ Also, I am so ready for Allen to become a wonderful dad, he is gonna rock it for sure!!

Allen gets props from me for saying what most men who are expecting a baby are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud haha

Allen. There's a monitor you can purchase that has a bootie that goes on a babies foot and monitors a heartbeat and sends you alerts if there are any issues. So you can close your eyes. You can even sneeze!

Straight in with a Tai-Pan reference 🙌

Best video I've watched on KZfaq all year

You guys give me such an unbelievable amount of joy. ☺️ Seriously. Dunno how your chats could get any better, but loved this one especially!!

Marineford is of course the climax to the first half of One Piece. But the way things are shaping up, there's a good chance the final saga will dwarf it. Oda himself said that Marineford was only the tip of the iceberg. The A Feast for Crows analagy is a good one. And Oda has been building and building since post Marineford. I'm really hyped about the current chapters

I love that when you were sincere with Allen asking him about being unsettled by having things sprung on him that his first reaction was "what are you about to tell me that will make me upset?!?" 😂😂😂 I'm with Allen. Imax is too loud. I get overstimulated easily. I'm going to see Dune 2 this week and I'm super excited. It took everything in me not to give my buddy a Quinn's Ideas level lecture at work today when he said he had questions about the Dune universe. The Powder Mage trilogy is fun. It does waste potential but I still enjoyed exploring the world. I can guarantee you would like it more than Mistborn era 2 but that isn't saying much 😂. Books are too long. This episode was fantastic. It really brightened up my morning at work and my drive home.

Missed the live, but looking forward to listening to this during a long drive tomorrow!

This made my whole day

Still watching and still catching up on the backlog of CWN, just not commenting under each video. Keep it going you two!

I need to find that Facebook group! My husband was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and omg… I identify so much with Christina!! My husband is the same! Bad injury? He’s calm and has it handled. Have to return something and wait in line? He’s raging and pacing. I’m definitely tuning in for that live! Thanks for the video, love CWN ❤

I had the same problem as Mindolin with Gideon initially about there not being people in the world but they very specifically go to somewhere there isn't people and then spend the entire novel there so in retrospect it does make sense. Does feel a little strange through.

Jimmy I am partially at fault for the old CWN views. I use them as my audio break if I can’t do any more audiobook for the day!!

Also, I love ‘The Remains of the Day’, Jimmy. I don’t care if the plot is boring, as long as the character study is interesting, I am seated

I know what you mean in regards to too many books. I'm finishing up my re-read of The Darkness That Comes Before, started Golden Fool, restarted American Gods and I've Veiled Throne on pause at the halfway point. Fml 😅

Great episode as usual, I was sorry to miss it live 🙌🏻 Allen, I’m sure you’ve heard this, but I believe you would enjoy The Holdovers. The main character is an ancient civilisations (specifically Rome and Greece) teacher and has the same academic integrity as William Stoner. I feel like you would appreciate his frustration with his students and the faculty.

Another banger from the Booktube Beefcake! I'm almost done with The Great Ordeal, and just when you think it can't get any more crazy, Bakker says "hold my beer."

Around the 35 minute mark you guys talk about the bonehunters being where the series peaked for you, and I totally get that. But for me, toll the hounds was just incredible. I read it a couple of months ago, just a week after my dad died, and I went in not really knowing anything about it. That ended up being the most powerful, moving and healing reading experience I've ever had, and I very much doubt that anything will hit me in the same way again. Hearing you talking about people being like "pick me energy" about a girl reading a book in a bar is just wild to me. I can only imagine that it's a projection issue where these people feel like they're being made to seem inferior by not reading, when the only thing making them seem inferior is their attitudes. People just can't let people live.

I feel bad for Allen because while I wasn't one of the people that yelled at him since I watched some of his videos before my instinct when someone is yelling is to get mad lol. They don't even have to be yelling at me if I just hear someone yelling I get unreasonably angry and I'm sure some of those responses are from people like me

Allen talking about his dislike for the main character in the Shogun book is me with Jalan in Mark Lawrence's Red Queen's War trilogy. It's a decent trilogy which expands upon his Broken Empire but Jalan is so annoying and undeveloped as a character that it makes it a tough read

Missed the live event again, haven't seen any comments about JAW (😂😂😂) discussing the new Shogun series so I'm guessing neither of you have seen it yet? Anyway, wish a good weekend 2 the CWN crüe!

I love that you liked The Remains of the Day! It's one of my favourite books but I never talk about it because you're exactly right... How do I sell that book to people?

47:03 not gonna lie, I was pretty proud of that one. 😅

When I was a baby I exploded. I got better

I deleted twitter when the Elon buying it nonsense was going on and literally became that "in my lane, moisturised, flourishing" meme 😂😂😂 Whenever I hear about it now it sounds absolutely unhinged, like twitter people sound like aliens! Or they're all bots who knows anymore

Shogun is getting a season 2 so get ready for more Disney cash-grabbing

Have you seen the reveal trailer for the upcoming Jurassic Park Survival game? I can't wait to get devoured by a T-rex!

Btw Jimmy, are you hyped for Shadow of the Erdtree??? 😁

I left 40 minutes into the new Dune Movie…There were people there that left even earlier than I did…So I guess I was not out of line thinking that it was not a very good production…

Poor Allen, the spoiler accusations can get crazy. I've been accused of having no regard for other people because I once said "this is the first time this happens", thereby spoiling that it will happen again. Amazing. Hang in there!

What's happening rn in the One Piece manga is better than Marineford imo

I stopped watching One Piece years ago when I reached Fish-Man Island so I will have to agree that it isn't good 😂 I used to love that anime.
