Episodes

So...Bishop? (ft @quinoanoir, @jcalebwarren, @unimpressedfave) 09.11.2022

probably the best monologue of this podcast's history. I'm changing the intro after this. Snatched bald.   

How do the Arakki view strength (ft @blckbolex) 08.11.2022

you don't need and explainer you just need to hit play! We can't say none of these people's names chile 

What’s your pitch for an X-book? (ft @blckbolex and @gl2814_3) 05.11.2022

a giant-sized helping of mess, pitching, bickering, horny fawns, slanderous names and more belly laughs than i could count. take a listen and make your choice! 

Are we rooting for Firestar and Havoc? (ft @michaeljfuxx) 03.11.2022

Take a mf guess 😮‍💨 Girl we're swinging from the beginning in this one, but don't be fooled! It might sound like we hate each other, but once you get past the porn accusations, the mediocre personality drags, the guilting (and the light flirts) we settle into one of the best episodes of the season...because why are they there? XOW at top form, come join! 

So we got Scott Jamal Summers, what now? (ft@GL2814_3) 31.10.2022

I had to concede, a win is a win. I had to let him come have his moment. It's less of a question and more of a vibe. If you've been around for a while you'll know this is like legacy shit, day one shit, and tbh I think I got off light, but it's the perfect time for Michael to re-debut! get into it! 

Is it time for Sapna (ft @alsopurp) 26.10.2022

This is THE dumbest shit ever. It's a new format. The host is the guest the guest is the host nothing matters everything is yelling. Enjoy. 

Who’s more iconic, Storm or Wanda? (ft. @ChristopherXCI_ / @thatnerdkris) 16.10.2022

We're BACK. This was meant to be a whole diff episode but someone bailed last minute so i grabbed someone high and someone drunk and made this! Enjoy! 

Who’s teaching them bad ass mf kids? (ft @GL2814_3, @callmibiham @thatnerdkris @ChristopherXCI_) 14.08.2022

Here's X mins of the 45-minute special that marks the RETURN of XOW Season 7. missed you love you click the thing and listen! x 

How do we get rid of Beast one? (ft. @christopherXCI_) 13.07.2022

It's immediate flirting, unexpected cuteness, and 18 minutes of absolute poison. 

Who’s got the grossest fucking mutant power (ft @winnnno) 30.06.2022

There's genuine heaving in this. 

Which mutant standup would you go to? (ft @thatnerdkris) 27.06.2022

In which we discover Kris is named after some guy, a whole heap of shit about funny mutants, who could carry a comedy show and who could carry the jackets. 

Should Cassandra Nova be the next x-movie villain? (ft @_winley_) 13.06.2022

The film buff is back to task about that poorly tempered walnut that has been a choatic breath of fresh air to the Marauders set. 

How do we read the Storm/Isca dynamic? (ft @unimpressedfave) 11.06.2022

You're going to like this one! 

How deep is mutant language? f(t @Thatnerdkris) 08.06.2022

Y'know, sometimes I feel like I haven't said anything new in a while, then an episode like this comes in. The perfect question with the perfect guest, and a brand new area of dicsussion. This is the analysis I love, and I hope you do to. Get into it! 

What new era themes do we love? (Ft@heybeaubone) 06.06.2022

Is an era new if it's three years old? Some may say yes. Come see Beau smash his first episode while we discuss the reasons we're still hooked! 

What’s Avalanche’s role on Krakoa? (ft @mistertoybox and @patrekis616fan) 04.06.2022

Avalanche? the other earthquake guy? chile you know about as much as me, so here are two people who know the character as well as you can. Welcome, Tom (and avalanche) to his first-ever XOW episode! 

What do the arakki owe humanity? (ft @nadiaandchill) 03.06.2022

A tease for your ears on a subject we shouldn't even have to be talking about realistically, let's be sensible with ourselves on this internet. 

Who’s had the best rebrand? (ft @thehermeister) 28.05.2022

SWING KINGS, Hermes hits the seat to talk about who has really won the egg era! Your loss is their gain. Another episode going live on patreon.com/xofwords

Who Is Monet? (ft @unimpressedfave) 21.05.2022

Your loss is their gain. The episodes you didn't choose are going live on Patreon.com/xofwords. So here's a little taste of what you're missing! Remember, the mutants always win! 

Who is Cecilia Reyes? (ft @theantibinge) 14.05.2022

All previous skinfolk claims have been reversed! Arny joins me to speedrun Cecilia's character bio!

Who is Unveil (ft. @thehermeister) 11.05.2022

It's Herm. It's her. It's here.
