As someone who only knows about Dune lore through cultural osmosis without reading the books or seeing any of the movies, I feel like I could listen to Jordan pester Dan with confusing Dune knowledge for twenty straight hours without getting bored. :allears:

As someone who hasn’t read the books in a long time but obviously has some affection for them (I mean, look at my avatar), listening to Jordan explain Dune lore poorly is honestly kinda frustrating.

Okay now that I’ve listened to the whole thing it was pretty delightful overall. When Jordan isn’t failing to mention crucial context for five minutes straight he hits some real descriptive dingers. “What if god was a greyhound bus” is perfect. I think the key is that as evocative and interesting and fun as Dune is, a lot of it is also very stupid.

I'm still early in, but all he had to say was "because they can't use computers to calculate their space travel" and maaaybe a real brief rundown on the Butlerian Jihad and it would have made that first early bit about the Navigators way less frustrating.

I've never read Dune but I had the movie picture book as a kid and all I remember is Sting and some mutant thing in a giant aquarium. Both were equally shocking to a young me. I also always assumed that the Butlerian Jihad was all the butlers rising up against their rich employers. I did see the first of the new Dune movies and it was pretty good. Jordan should start a Dune podcast and have Alex on.

I'm 40% sure that Jordan is saying Vila - Nueve as a joke. I was 60/40 before the second time he said it in the episode.

It's supposed to be Ville - New, right?

I mean, it's not a common last name. If you've never heard it spoken out loud before, I wouldn't blame someone for mispronouncing it.

I speak French as a second language, but I have no idea how much French you're supposed to give the pronunciation in America. Jordan is way wronger than you and I'm not sure it's a joke

Jordan pronounces lots of normal English words very wrong. I have no idea how you pronounce Dune guy's name but I'm not surprised at someone getting it wrong.

It's two syllables, Jordan's absolutely pronouncing it wrong as a joke.

"vil" followed by something between "noov" and "nuv" (with maybe a slight "eh" in the middle for Canada's sake)

So in what may become a thing next week on Info Wars, Nick Fuentes streamed himself watching gay porn from one of his social media accounts (I think Twitter). Of course Nick denies that it was him and that his account was hacked by a pro-Israeli group, but one person is enjoying himself right now:
