Chew your food, gentle listeners

Mark, don't test your esophagus, or you will find yourself testing your sarcophogus!

Here after news Mark was in the hospital for not chewing his food 😂

For anyone curious about the whole "Tusk Love" thing: It's a fictional book from that features in Critical Role, the D&D stream. It's an extremely trashy romance novel about the romance between a merchant's daughter and muscular and handsome half-orc man. Laura Bailey's character bought it as a way to signal her romantic interest in the half-orc in the party, who is played by Laura's IRL husband. Basically some light IRL flirting in-game. It later became a running gag on the show for various characters to pull it out to read raunchy excerpts out loud to the rest of the party, with the players ad-libbing whatever their characters were reading. It's become a long-running meme in the community, with people making fake covers for it and the like. Apparently, the CR production team decided to hire an author, Thea Guanzon, to write an actual copy of the book as merchandise, based on the excerpts from the show, some guidance from the actors, and her own imagination. So it's a fake book from a D&D game that has since become a real book.

Mark, stop getting hurt, God dammit.

This is my favorite podcast where all the hosts chew their food well, unlike other podcasts where they don't chew their food at all. ❤

10:15 Bob's "you can torture me as much as I want" was criminally slept on.

6:50 Mark missed a great chance to reference his brother lmao
