Can we get a “Try Guys try reading smut” video? 🤣 Becky could help out!
Appreciate Rainey(?)’s producer note in the begining
Nope
rainie
“Sudafed” went so unnoticed 😂 she’s hilarious
Yes I died laughing 🤣 love me some Rainie
Hopping over from Spotify to remind Becky that the dragons absolutely do fuck
this comment is so funny 😭😭
Oh my god 😂
said that out loud as i was listening 😂
I mean.... Katee Robert's has a whole book about it!
Literally that’s the whole reason Vi and Xaden kiss in the first place 😂😂
Becky talking about booktok and scythe and fourth wing has left me dead. Becky, please do a live about booktok please!!! Also, you should read Emily McIntyre, you’d love her writing. It’s a good refresh read.
I highly recommend having kids watch kids show but in Spanish with Spanish subtitles. That’s how I learned English from an early age and I was always ahead of my classes.
Kids aboard languages way faster than adults so if you show them only shows in Spanish they pick up the language extremely fast.
Becky needs to have a website or blog called Becky’s book club!
#bookclubwithbecky
As a smut audiobook consumer, this episode was so entertaining 😂
Same! I want more book club with Becky #Bookclubwithbecky
Wait does Becky not know the Love Hypothesis is Star Wars Fanfic????
i was thinking the same thing lol
I feel like a lot of people don't actually
WUT
Adam CARless is 100% based on Adam DRIVEr
@@beccastokes1125the names 😭😭
"The beginning of the book is like... a book!" (Becky wipes eyes from crying because she's laughing so hard) That was HILARIOUS!
I loved this episode, but it makes me kind of sad that Ariel would have thrived in this conversation 🥺
Blah give it up.
@@amandamccourt5377what is you problem
Rainie confidently guessing Matt’s Italian word meant Sudafed is definitely me! Hahaha a whole mood
The dragons definitely do boink in that book it’s a major plot point lmaoo
I think I need a whole episode of Becky taking us through the entirety of ACOTAR now….
YES
You might already know this, but @withcindy has done this and it is everything.
Hello, just an FYI - the word Gaelic has two pronunciations and is two different languages.
Gaelic (pronounced Gay-Lick) is Irish
Gaeiluc (pronounced Gah-lick) is Scottish.
The languages are similar and share a lot of roots but they as re two distinct languages. 💜
Yes, will wait for Maggie Spanish Class 101 and Matt Italian Class 101! 😄
The pickpocket lady was ousted as being a right wing racist targeting people on the street without proof of actual wrong doing. She belongs to Lega and "has a sixth sense" about the wrongdoings of the Roma and Sinti people she calls out and chases from public spaces.
yikes on bikes!
“My brilliant friend” book series and the HBO adaptation of the same name are both absolutely amazing. Loooooved them!
THIS SCREAMS ARIEL PLZZZZ
As a life long book nerd I am so thankful for what tik tok has done for reading I feel like it has brought so much community to readers. I had my little sister read all of the Sarah J Maas books and we sit and talk on the phone about books for literal hours
😭 spicy scenes in audiobooks can be a lil intense but tbh its how i consume most books these days so i can get through all my TBR lol
Matt also has the perfect voice for audiobooks!
I love this PODCAST!!!! I clicked on it so fast and liked it even without watching and listening to the whole PODCAST! lol We love spicy books!
aaaaggggh the title makes me so sad - didn't ariel always talk about smutty books? she would have loved sitting with them during this ep :(
Love the Scythe series, and Fourth Wing is SO GOOD! I cried when it came to Liam…
Rainie don't forget to update the description with your new job!
MATT SPEAKING ITALIAN 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Now you guys need to listen to the dramatized adaptations of the ACOTAR series. Audiobooks on a whole different level!
Rainie releasing an hour early for us!! Bless
I made the mistake of listening to this while I’m in the office and the physical restraint to not laugh or squeal too loudly was so painful 😂😂😂
The pod topic I never knew I needed!!!!
As a person who followed the ACOTAR to contemporary romance to dark romance to monster romance pipeline I find it so hilarious that Becky refers to The Love Hypothesis as having gratuitous sex scenes and so spicy because there is one sex scene. The rest is all build up 😂. To be fair I love it and it’s so cute and easy to read but, if you want gratuitous spice… I’ve got better recs.
Right!? I listened to it in true podcast form as I was driving and literally yelled at my car that that book was like the least spicy of spicy trending books I’ve read. Of my documented 106 I’ve read this year, 105 were probably all spicier than that 😂😂
100%! it’s so funny listening to people talk about how spicy some books are when i read spicier fan fiction at like 13
If you could share some gratuitous spice recs please and thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Yes please drop one book rec from each category of the pipeline!
Same Eugene I would be chasing Matt all over the gym if I knew he could speak Italian like that
This was my favorite episode so far #booknerd but I want a monthly book club dedicated to Becky and her smutty books. I'm def reading 4th wing and love hypothesis next
OMG!!! My Brilliant friend! They turned it into a TV show!!! It's amazing! I didn't even know it was a book I LOVE THE SHOW!
I would have so many submissions if this does become a recurring section of the pod 😂
ah i’ve been waiting all day for this 🥰 thank you
Rainey needs to discover the whole line of silhouette mystery/ suspense romance novels. All short, spicy, light reads.
Loveddddd fourth wing the spice level is maybe 1🌶️ lol
Omg this is sooo funny! Becky making Matt read the smutty excerpt was hilarious! They should do this more😂
Im here for another episode like this and have Matt read like icebreaker or something 😂😂😂
Please add the suggested weekly segment!! It’s such a funny idea 😂 love you guys ❤
14:35 I feel seen, lmao, I am VERY dyslexic and I took ASL instead of Spanish (or another spoken foreign language) in high school, and while I'm sure it was easier for me, I can 110% tell you whenever I had to fingerspell a word I royally fucked it up. The dyslexia will always get you 💀💀
I was diagnosed with Dyslexia in elementary school so I never took a Spanish class, they would go to Spanish and I would go to an intensive reading class and that helped so much! But when I got to high school I needed a language so I took ASL because it was only offered to students with disabilities! And I loved it! Definitely look into learning ASL. Start with the alphabet, then move to finger spelling, and definitely don’t forget about learning numbers (it’s different in ASL)!
As a librarian I'm obsessed with this ep lol
Also I read Fourth Wing a couple of weeks ago while I was on medical leave post surgery at the suggestion of fellow librarians. I binged it in like 4 hours. Sooo good. Romance stuff isn't usually my jam but I was so invested.
Absolutely loved this! More book talk, por favor! 🫶🏻🙌🏻 highly enjoyed hearing Becky talk about Scythe.
I just finished Fourth Wing bc of this recommendation and HOLY FORKING SHIRT BALLS it’s my new favorite book of all time ty Becky I owe you big
Yessssssss more bookcasts please!!!
Well now I need Matt to reed from acosf😂
4:12 Oooooh Matt reading in Italian.... wooooooo beautiful❤
i really appreciate the warning and time stamps at the beginning, very considerate ❤ i don't always feel like hearing/reading smut lol
So sad they're talking about spicy books without Ariel ☹
My two worlds collide!! My favorite podcast and my favorite book types 🤣❤️❤️❤️
Rainie, you are so precious! You are doing an incredible job.
i loveeeee reading smut but becky’s so right there absolutely has to be a lead up/ build up of tension otherwise it just comes across as silly
so glad for Rainie's note cause I listen to podcast on speakers😂
Hi! Do Becky, Matt, or Rainie have public GoodReads accounts we can follow? I would love to see what books they read and rate!
Same! Nd I would love this to be a recurring segment, talking abt books they've read recently
I see book in title, I click 😂😂
Love hearing Matt speaking Italian!! As an Italian speaker, I love to hear my language being spoken
Just finished fourth wing! So excited to listen ❤
YES TO MATTS SMUT CORNER!!!
Omg I love this episode. So fun and lively. It’s so girl talk. I’m into it.
Love this book/reading episode! I want to join this book club 😂
My friend wrote a murder mystery, smut, romance!
It’s called ‘Sins of Seduction by Nicole Banks! Very spicy and amazingly written! 🌶️
That sounds so interesting. I added it to my list.
Felt the same way that Love Hypothesis was a nice reset but damn when Matt started reading it and used those ssss I was like… this is dirtier than I remember 😂
I almost screamed when Becky mentioned the Scythe series! One of my all time favorite books😍
I listened to this at work and I had a really hard time trying not to laugh throughout the entire episode!!
I know I am late to watching this but OMG I LOVE SCYTH and I love that they are talking about it. My favorite genre of books. So glad Becky loves them too.
The way I'm getting back into reading bc I couldn't handle imagining the audiobook narrator narrating the smut in Red, White, and Royal Blue 😂
AHHHFREAKING AMAZING!!! Yes Fourth Wing!!! So here for this!! Also would love to have more of these and Becky you need to get into the SJM universe!! Like STAT!!!
Fantasy book rec from me is Bitter Medicine by Mia Tsai! It incorporates Taiwanese folklore and fantasy elements and is sooo good.
I would LOVE to follow any of these guys on goodreads
i get matt back AND he's talking about elena ferrante???? this is too good to be true
I loved Matt's book pick! The second book in that series is my favourite!!
Matt should be a voice actor because he is so funny and I love Becky and rainies reactions
As someone who has learnt multiple languages: You don't have to be particularly smart to learn a new language. Everyone can do it, but the key is lots of exposure, not classroom instruction.
You need to listen to a lot of native audio to be able to perceive all of the sounds of your target language, and reading is a great way to broaden your vocabulary. Having the background knowledge of how sentences are structured, how verbs are conjugated etc. definitely helps but the crucial part happens without you even noticing: your brain is constantly analysing the patterns and with enough exposure, you'll internalise the "rules" and be able to apply them without the need to consciously think about them. You can achieve native-like fluency in any language. Heck, my native language isn't even my primary language anymore.
Love the book chat! This is a great episode. A little clarification on some pronunciations; words derived from Scots Gaelic are said Gah-lick whereas words from Irish Gaelic are said like Gay-lick.
Can they please do an episode where Matt reads an entire book, I love his voice ❤
There was a short story collection in the Scythe series called Gleanings that came out in November last year, and one of the stories was about an art class taught by someone who grew up in the time before they solved death. Gleanings had stories from various points and perspectives in the world, and if you love the series, I'd recommend it! As for my favourite smutty book, I can't narrow it done more then anything by Katee Robert. The Dark Olympus series is really big right now, and so good!
The laughing in this one was amazing 😂
Yess love scythe and fourth wing
Matt learning you speak Italian has made my day! Congratulazioni davvero! E dolcissimo sapere che stai leggendo l'Amica Geniale di Elena Ferrante. Non è solo un capolavoro della letteratura Italiana, ma è anche un bellissimo libro sulla psicologia femminile. Love you all YCSWU squad
More of Matt reading smut please!
He really should look into it as a career 😍😂❤
we need a becky book club
ah Matt!! I'm really happy you're reading my brilliant friend in Italian, cause I've read it in Italian and I'm not from the Naples area and I found it hard as well!! Really, props to you!!
Also, there's a 4th book!!
Also, whoever is reading this comment y'all should read it (or watch the show) cause it's really interesting!
updated comment to say this as a translation student we have specific classes on technical, legal and economics vocabulary and I had a class on medical interpreting, very hard but so cool!
I totally feel Matt @ the 14:00 mark. I'm learning Mandarin and watch a lot of shows. One was a variety show about a group of celebs working on a small farm. So much convo was about cooking/animals/hobbies/etc and I felt like i was nailing it. Then i tried to watch a show about musical theatre and was completely lost when judges gave notes.
Me: "They're saying something about singing a song and that's as much as I'm grasping 😅"
The way I gasped when Matt started speaking Italian. 🥵😱😂🫶🏻
you’ve convinced me to read the fourth wing 😂
Rainie, a suggestion for you "murder,mistery, romance"=Haunting Adeline
I mean.... It's kinda got everything HAHAHAH
The absolute horror on her face… I can see it now 😂
You missed the episode numberrrr in the title
45:46 Random side note, I love the editing here. I like that we can see Becky & Matt but also the tiktok at the same time rather than just one of them holding up their phone 😅
We need a whole booktok segment maybe like once a month !
i would absolutely love more book themed episodes
i haven’t read haunting adeline (and definitely don’t plan on it) but there’s definitely some ~scenes~ in it that you can read
also becky should definitely try six of crows, i think she would like it
Before Korean Englishman, Jolly, Try Guys, Trypod, Guily Pleasures and YCSWU... I’m not a youtube video watcher / listener.. but now.. I watch more youtube videos than movies and series 😂😅
The gasp I gasped when Matt started reading 😂
Ranie gets so red during the smut scenes. It's so adorable. I have read these smut scenes and listening to them even in a fake group is so embarassing!!
Y’all I’ve been on a smut kick lately and imma find a passage for y’all
Here for all the shadow daddies 👏🏼😮💨
I love Scytheeee omg. Neal Shusterman is pretty popular but I hear more people talk about Unwind than the Scythe trilogy. I was happy to hear her talk about it 🥰
RAINIE! I graduated *several* years before you, but ASL was my absolute favorite class at Tufts. I wish they had more than 3 semesters, and I still regret not finding a way to keep practicing/using it after I graduated. But it's never too late to learn--lifelong learning woohoo
