Chatting with Nutts continues to be one of the best parts of KZbin.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Thank you my friend ❤️

[@milom5030]

Hard agree

[@ves138]

HELL YE

[@currangill430]

YOu should do a Chatting with Alex (Nieves)

[@ves138]

So we should really thank your wife for bringing this podcast to life Jimmy. Really i cant imagine your channel without it, this podcast is ESSENTIAL to our small booktube community!

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Haha she's my backbone! Thanks my friend

[@billyalarie929]

“ I don’t have the personality to be a persona” This is EXACTLY why I love Bookborn’s channel. I don’t need a persona, I need a person.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

She’s great

[@vaughnroycroft999]

Two of my favorite BookTubers. Nice accompaniment to my morning coffee. Cheers!

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Always happy to be part of anyone's morning routine 😁

[@ves138]

Oh man hiding your yt channel from everyone is so relatable! When i used to do CoD montage editing in After Effects in 7th grade i hid it from EVERYONE for years. At 15 i got really good and started selling my edits but my parents COULD NOT find out so i created a proxy paypal that i used solely to get paid for editing, a nd spent all that money on videogames so my mom wouldnt find out lol. Those videos are still on my channel (this one) just unlisted. Saying you became a youtuber really does come with a negative connotation today and with a ton of prejudice. Also, what a wonderful way to start a day Jimmy, this episode was amazing! Hillary is awesome.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Hey I used to love cod montages lol bookborn is awesome 😎

[@Bookborn]

Ok but the question is did you eventually ever tell your mom lol

[@ves138]

@@Bookborn no, because she'd scold me for spending all the money i made with editing on video games :')

[@JoanaSousaReads]

Love this! So much!

[@thefantasynuttwork]

It was fun!

[@okolo-obiajulubenedict8781]

Jimmy I really loved what you said about the only difference between you and we in the comment section is that you guys turned on the camera and that's very true because I remember how much I really enjoyed watching your spoiler talks on ROTE and it just felt soo good watching people understand the whirl of emotions I was going through. Soo yeah that's my little ramble. Thanks once again for the content and I'll never stop turning the pages and maybe someday I'll turn on the camera 😁😁😁

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I hope you do, and thank you 😀

[@zibbi.is.reading]

Wasn't able to catch this live so I'm catching up now. I like long form conversations and Chatting with Nutts has become one of my favorite backgrounds while working! This episode is so wholesome and encouraging. Thank you Jimmy for bringing in Bookborn and for the great content as always. We'll continue watching. Keep em coming!

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Thank you so much 😀

[@IpoteticAMVsChannel]

Yeeey, love to see more Hillary on other channels! ❤

[@thefantasynuttwork]

She's wonderful to speak to!

[@marcelbeaudoin3886]

Another amazing episode of my favourite podcast (although I can rarely make it live). It would be great to have Hillary back on again. Allen’s D&D has to be a thing because I feel like it would be the talk of the booktube town.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I will definitely have Bookborn back if she is willing, it was one of my favorite conversations!

[@Bookborn]

OBVI! I'll be here!

[@marcelbeaudoin3886]

@@Bookborn Amazing!!

[@thatsci-firogue]

Don't worry Jimmy, I'll stay with you (and Allen) on the non-Wheel of Time sphere. Though I very much side with Hillary on Star Wars lol

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Hahah I'll take it

[@Bookborn]

Fine I'll take it too

[@brettwaddingham3296]

I can relate to tooooo much of this video. Between similar feelings as a kid, having zero in common with people in my life, to being more put together if I write stuff out rather than speaking....man, it's so good not to be alone! Thanks again Jimmy!

[@thefantasynuttwork]

It's my pleasure my friend

[@readbykyle3082]

Great chat guys, I always miss these due to work but its always a good time. Allen as a DM would either be complete chaos or the most structured campaign ever, I guess we'll see haha. Also you need to join the bully campaign and help get Bookborn to read ASOIAF. If she thinks she's gonna lose all of her friends maybe she'll finally cave!! 🤔🤣

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Hmmm maybe we can make it happen 🤔

[@Bookborn]

How about I’ll promise this: If the next book gets a release date I’ll start reading immediately

[@readbykyle3082]

@@Bookborn this is a dangerous game you are playing. 😂 But also you just suffered your way through Norwegian Wood and there's literally no possible way you'd enjoy ASOIAF less than that. 🤣

[@thatsci-firogue]

While I've gotten better with sticking to TBRs I'm re-embracing mood reading. I delayed resuming Malazan cuz Prince of Nothing has been stuck in my head and now I'm reading Aspect-Emperor and I refuse to read more than 2 Fantasy series (I'll make an exception for standalones) at a time ever again. I also didn't plan on reading the Endymion books for another few weeks but on a whim I picked them up and I'm loving it so far. I read Warlord Chronicles on a whim and devoured and more importantly LOVED those books.

[@milom5030]

I always pronounced Jasnah as Yasnah - in my language we pronounce J as Y, and the word jasna (sounds exactly like yasnah) means bright/light, which makes perfect sense given the content of the books. On other hand, most fantasy names I have contact with are ment to be pronounced according to the english language rules - at times it's awkward cause I've read a book but have no idea what characters and places someone's talking about😅

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I pronounce it like you do as well!

[@Bookborn]

Yeah you guys are TECHNICALLY right but nothing will change what is right within my heart

[@milom5030]

@@Bookborn i get it, it's not natural for an English speaker. But it's not a big deal whether it's jasnah or yasnah - eyeryone knows who you're talking about

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

This was so fun!

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I agree! Looking forward to D&D

[@marcelbeaudoin3886]

@@thefantasynuttwork looking forward to watching D&D! I really think Allen has gone too far to turn back now…

[@Bookborn]

Hey Allen. Still waiting for that message...should I go back on and beat your record now that you haven't had follow through? 😉

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

@@Bookborn I LITERALLY SENT YOU A BUNCH OF MESSAGES

[@safinan8008]

Hi great video I subscribed to both of you!! Great chat!! Happy reading to you!! 📖🧟‍♂️

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Thanks 🙏

[@aysseralwan]

2:01:00 I feel like I'm the only one that has fond memories of Eye of the World and likes it

[@Andre-xl2oe]

Malazan fans are very forgiving on pronunciation as everyone does it in their own way. Will be very interested in Bookborn's view on Malazan. Cool discussion. About adaptations, as long as the story is great (and consistent), the series will get traction at the end. See Starship Troopers.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I love the movie of starship troopers

[@Andre-xl2oe]

Did you read the book? The film is like exactly the same, but completely opposite in theme/message.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

@@Andre-xl2oe I haven't read it but know the difference and think it's pretty hilarious haha

[@aysseralwan]

2:30:00 I love taking notes about books I read tho I never show them anyone. It's just makes me get character's names and locations easy in my head and I like to also connect some dots (I'm not big on theory crafting but smaller things like some character might be mentioned and some books later a character that doesn't know him mentions that someone that looks so and so was there and then I write sth like "ey that sounds like Character X. What is he doing here in location Y" sth along those lines and I'm also get some pride in seeing small twists so yeah that's why I started to write notes and I get more out of the reading experience doing that

[@thatsci-firogue]

I'd love to see you two discuss Grimdark. I haven't thought fully indepth as to why Dark and Grimdark Fantasy appeals to me the way that it does, but I can definitely give you a truncated short answer: Aside from the Percy Jackson books, BBCs Merlin show and the Harry Potter films I wasn't really into Fantasy all that much as a kid. I guess the Darren Shan/Larten Crepsley books count but they're more horror. ASOIAF was my first adult Fantasy. I didn't even read the Hobbit until around A Storm of Swords so I would've been about 18, maybe. I read those books incredibly slowly in some cases over the course of years. Finishing school, partying, college etc. So darker types of Fantasy is mostly my jam and then I finally read First Law and Gentleman Bastard which my Mum and Uncles were recommending for years and I realised just how much I was missing out cuz they were recommending them since I was at least 15.

[@maddy0119]

Great conversation guys! One day I'll make one of these chats live.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

I hope, thanks!

[@marcweber8509]

Speaking of martial arts... Jimmy, I don't know if I told you this. But Matthew Stover is a serious martial arts fan and he practiced a lot of different styles himself. His hand to hand combat is one of the best things about Acts of Caine. The characters are insane and he takes a huge risk with each book without losing the core of the series. It's kind of somewhere between Abercrombie and Bakker, snappy dialogue and philosophy especially in the later parts. And he does sth with his main character in the second book which I know you will probably especially appreciate.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

It's one I'd like to read for sure

[@Shawna540]

I will be here for any D&D content! 🤞🤞🤞

[@marcweber8509]

@@thefantasynuttwork Both!! I've been nagging Philipp for a long time about Prince of Nothing and Book of the New Sun. It will be glorious when that finally happens! Also Allen for the hot takes :D But I'm also excited cause I planned starting Wars of Light and Shadow this year and y'all are in too so lots of good stuff on the horizon 😁 and you're reading Berserk rn which is one of my absolute favorites!

[@DirePantsDim]

Jimmy, if by any chance you'll read The Kinggiller Chronicle as an audiobook, PLEASE listen to Rupert Degas' narration.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Will do!

[@aysseralwan]

1:11:35 "stand proud" this is a jojo reference meaning Jimmy Nutts will read JoJo's bizarre adventures!!🤯

[@wardo1602]

Love you both, and new to your channels! You can thank Allen's Book Jeopardy for allowing me to find you. (You probably won't read this anyway, since I'm 2 weeks late on viewing.) Did Hillary say she's an engineer? Because her rant about falling speed was way off. 9.81 is the acceleration of gravity, not velocity, so it's meters per second per second. So after one second, about 10 m/s, after the next second, about 20 m/s, and so on until terminal velocity is reached because of air resistance. So in the D&D turn of 6 seconds, you would have covered about 210m of vertical drop. Normally I wouldn't correct people, but since the example was of her "correcting" someone, I thought she might smile.

[@thefantasynuttwork]

Thank you for checking out the channel!

I daydream when I listen to audiobook. I start thinking about shit like "did I put my clothes in the wash? Is that a bird? Cool bird. Should I workout today? I wonder what that squirrel is doing?"

[@Chris_Traylor]

Hey Jimmy, being a grappler myself, is that Combat Codes worth reading for the appreciation of martial arts alone? Is the story outside of the mma great? My ears perked up at mention of such a book existing in the fantasy genre lol

It's Def worth a shot if you like MMA!
