a somewhat annoyed llamaTurns out Audacity was programmed by actual magicians, cos that's the only way this audio's even slightly tolerable. Also happy April fools - I thought the most subversive thing to do would be to upload a kinda sorta serious theory that has a fool in it and also includes a high-quality belch.
Anyway, I came up with most of this theory independently, but there's nothing new under the sun, so here's some links to a couple of Reddit posts I looked at:
There was also a westeros.org thread but when I tried to copy the link across my antivirus told me it had phishing in it so I guess you'll just have to find it for yourself.

DON'T. I'm not going through and editing out every breath and lip smack in a four hour video. I do have other things I'd rather be doing you know. Just go to sleep. Sleeeeeep.

Aardvark's audio dramas - youtube.com/channel/UC9UuGaO-ZfT4kc85ABszGtAWhich has more Prime Ministers, Dr Who or real life?a somewhat annoyed llama2026-06-18 | Are there more Prime Ministers in Doctor Who than there are in real life? Is this a worthwhile question? Did I waste a considerable amount of time and energy on this video? The answer to all these questions will be revealed.
1) Chevrolet is not a French car make, but in fact American. In my defence it is the most French-sounding car I've heard of.
2) Porsche is, of course, German. This one is less defensible.
3) Old Jack's Boat is not a song, but in fact a TV show. I was confusing it with Right Said Fred, a Bernard Cribbins song from which the band famous for 'I'm Too Sexy' gets its name.
4) Rolf Carls was a WW2 German admiral. He has no known affiliation with Rolf Harris.

(sober version)a somewhat annoyed llama2026-03-06 | May have forgotten to check that the original version of this video was the right aspect ratio... seems I didn't update the export settings in Hitfilm since my last video, which was a short. Or actually it was a bold artistic choice. They say true genius is never recognised in its time. Who can say?
Also the thing seems to be displaying wrong on Youtube still, there's black bars on the top and right, dunno why that's there. Edit: actually I do know, but I think it's best to just leave it as a monument to the old version.

aardvark's audio dramas - @BlindMasqueradeAudioThe Bizarre Sci-fi Sequel to 101 Dalmatiansa somewhat annoyed llama2025-12-05 | Everybody has heard of 101 Dalmatians. Most people have seen it, a few of you degenerates might actually have gone as far as reading it. But did you know it had a sequel? No, I'm not talking about the films, I'm talking about the book. It's got everything you want in a cuddly children's book sequel - a lynch mob, nuclear anxiety, and biting political satire of the Harold Wilson government.

Sorry about the audio, dunno why my mic started crackling at various points.
Also I learned that the first line of the description shows up when a video comes up on google, and most of mine are apologies about the audio, so I moved the apology down this time.

This video is unscripted and lightly edited cos I didn't want to have to put too much effort into it, but I still had to cut out several rants about Protestantism and a few moments when I accidentally doxxed myself, so hey ho.

I might end up doing another one about him as well! He's living rent free, and in this economy that just isn't on.

I had to go through two and a half hours of audio to sort out the plosives and cut out the horrible lip-smacking sounds, and still didn't get all of them. Also I was half asleep by the end of this so couldn't remember anything about the one I put at number 1. Oh well.

Are any of them actually true? Ehh, probably not, if I had to pick the one that's most likely it's the Little Walder one. But in reality he'll probably go with Davos to Skagos or disappear from the book altogether once GRRM realises how many holes there are in his story.

Did no scripting and barely any editing so there's all the horrible plosives, breaths, 'erms', background noise, forgetting what I was saying, not having anything to say and so on.
Listening back to it, I should have ranked Aegon III higher. Oh well.
The womble on the top left is Uncle Bulgaria, by the way. Cos he's an uncle, and Larys is an uncle. I really couldn't think of a better way of representing that possible motivation.

But I still wanted an excuse to make this intro, so I made the video anyway.

Except for me.The Historical Dance of the Dragonsa somewhat annoyed llama2024-05-01 | You know when you think of something independently and then go look it up and see that everyone and their mum has already thought of it? Yeah, so that's what happened here. When I was reading Fire and Blood a year ago I thought 'hmm, this seems familiar', and when I looked it up everyone else had the same thought. Even though there's a dozen perfectly good videos on the internet explaining this, I couldn't think of anything else to make so here's another. I do have some ideas now for a video to make next month, so the well hasn't run completely dry yet.

Subscribing is an option.Hat Films Animated: Smiths Scenariosa somewhat annoyed llama2021-07-18 | This 'animation' is my longest one yet, and as such it is riddled with errors. Smith's hair colour is as inconsistent as his Uno is consistent, frames are out of time and out of order, and the resolution is still a horrendous 800x600, probably because I was watching York beat Newcastle 1-0 while making it.

Poorly edited, oodles of background noise, images that haven't been cropped right, questionable historical judgements and a lack of sources because I didn't remember to write them down.
