Ninety ninety night I was drinking. We ban't she She was a nice young
glass, she told me, and I was handsome, and we downed another
glass. I asked her what her name was, and she gave her head
a shake. So I called her out Patrick, cause she's driving out misnake
ninety ninety ninety night. She didn't find that funny, and neither did her
man. He said I couldn't fight him, and I said, I lapra
can. He said I was a gob shite and I'd go home on gown.
So I drank of hind again and I kicked his barny stone so high
ninety nine, nine ninety nine, and she said to whaling. She pulled
him off the ground. She motioned to the bartender to serve another round.
She sat him on a barstool. But it was my cheeks she kissed.
He said I was fair in love and ward, and then we all got
pistol ninety ninety ninety ninety ninety nine, Oh ninety ninety ninety nine, diy

Um, you guys have done the Lord's work today. This episode we're talking
about fairies. We are know how about that? Did you like that?
Did you like how? We weren't like? Oh? This episode they involved
some very interesting concepts and ideas. Um. I don't want to go to
foint a point on it, but it were really gonna know that fairies,
fairies. We're gonna talk about fairies, fay folk. You know what I
brought this to Dave. Dave said, I don't know. Haven't we talked
about this before? The answers no, The second answering that shut up.
The second answer is we're not going to have enough time to talk about everything
fade in this episode. And if you're new, if you're just stepping in
for season three, we're not always this drunk. It's our Saint Patrick's Day
annual episode where we get trashed two times, two times, a lady here.
We're starting the season this season three, welcome and we're doing it with
our Saint Patty's Day episode, our hia to Irish and our drinking more than
we're go with this. How about you? If you let me go,
I'll probably not stop. But yes, but we are, we are,
we are sufficiently. We have done it, we have achieved. Think of
us picking up from where we left off with last Irish episode. Oh man,
um, well, here's the deal, all right, So we're talking
about fairies this episode. Right, we're gonna talk about what fairies are,
some of the folklore and we're gonna talk about some explanations of maybe where fairies
came from, not really but maybe Yeah. Origins of fairies and they range
from the fantastic to the exquisitely morbid. Let's let's get this started. Oh
let's let's let's kick the tires and light the fires. You know what,
I guess. Here's our PSA about about fairies. Um, don't do it
yet, but I need your finger on the PSA sound button. It's there.
Listen fairies. The subject of fairies is a very big one fer Fay
folk. We can listen. If I get a bunch of emails from pixies
and grumpkins, I'm gonna be pissed. I'm just trying to correct you so
we don't get in trouble. We're trying to distill in in close to one
hour, one drunken hour into one seven million lead bottle, what what fairies
are? To give you a good idea? Uh, and we're being very
superficial about it. I well, I'm hoping we can have an expert on
maybe later in the season to help us. Oh, we just Craigslist of
Fay expert expert. I like this because at this point, if you're listening,
you're a real fan and we appreciate you because all the Trumps had long
since said these fickers are drunk. Good night yeah, or good morning,
goodbye? Good God, that's better. All this, all this is true
and everything, but like everything is like real, but quink quink, Right,
what we're going to cover in in this episode is is really just scratching
the surface of what's out there for fairies. Stop happened to me? God?
Are we gonna get through this. We're not gonna get through half of
it with listen. All right, all right, this is things. This
is the Saint Patrick's podcast. Don't get pissed about it. Love us or
leave us, but if you leave us, come back. Let's start out
with what fairies are. Yeah about that? All right? Fairies are found
in some form or other in all cultures throughout the womb. We will be
focusing on the Irish culture. Yeah, the the UK, the northern e
western Europe. Sure, British portions of Europe, your Olpe with sounded my
barbaric arrolp um. All right, Let's give you a general description of fairies.
Uh. Fairies are supernatural beings with supernatural powers. Uh. Sometimes they're
described as a race of beings between humans and spirits, which leaves a ton
of discussion points which we will get to. That is a that is a
very the realm between humans and spirits. There's a lot of gray area that,
Yeah, lots of gray. The name fairy is an Anglicized version of
the Old French fairy, which comes from faye, derived from the Latin fata.
This probably comes from the idea that fairies are the ones who bestow individual
destiny or specific gifts on people. In English, the term was used since
the thirteenth century, but popularized in the sixteenth century with connotations of enchantment and
whimsicality. Let's no law be left without wheemsy. Well. You get writers,
authors such as Edmund Spencer and Shakespeare, popularizing the term of fairy around
this time. Usually in English. You so popularize as though it wasn't all
I mean like, but I mean it was still well established and not I
mean like. Shakespeare especially, uh used it as kind of a form of
das x makina, you know, it was. It was sort of a
means by which to tell a story. But these were these are for a
very long time. They lived in that that gray area between uh, belief
and non belief. Like I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm gonna
leave some cream out at night, all right. That's a little call back
to our legends of Ireland. Um, lots of lots of fai folk really
into cream krogo. Oh what anyway? Yeah? In in English, folks
like fairy when referring to the she of Irish mythology. Uh, this is
used interchangeably, which is not necessarily correct. She in Irish mythology is closer
to meaning corpse or spirit of the dead. And this will come into play
later. We'll bring that back. And as for a description of fairies in
literature, they're described as small, tiny humanoids, slender and beautiful, with
insect wings or butterfly wings, and they're happy and gay. The real asterisk
fairy from folklore varies in size from inches big to maybe six feet, with
a common height of of two to four feet I mean, and if you
want to extend the definition up to Ogre's twelve feet, oh goodness, yeah,
I mean yeah, and that's point six to one point two meters for
our friends. Because we've become so international, sorry everybody, we've got to
deal with the burden of electric system we already set up that we should do
this. In a way, I feel we've been uh lax in our duties.
Fair enough. No wings, there are no wings attached. They flew
by magic flying. They don't they don't need to condescend to our understanding of
aerodynamics. Uh. And they they wore a nice albeit old fashioned clothes in
greens and reds like the greens and reds, maybe some browns, maybe some
rays uh, they went about the brownies? Did they wear brown Oh?
Yes, what about the blue caps? Dude, you jumped so ahead?
Shut up? Jumped so ahead, bro jumped ahead. I'm a dessert first,
cod you're like the sweet the most slavory. Listen. They were shape
shifters, which means they could be from from inches tall to six feet tall
if they wanted to or you know. Yeah, shape shifting is a big
thing in a lot of the folk tales or the stories, and in the
UK, fairies are commonly divided into two types, trooping fairies and solitary fairies.
This was divided by W. B. Yates. This was I think,
I'm glad of that's science finally decided to drop them into categories based on
their mobility. A man of literary science. Maybe here's here's the deal with
trooping fairies. These are fairies who live with many others, many times in
a feudal system, or maybe in a kingdom ruled by a king or a
queen. A lot of times you'll have a queen of the fairies. This
would be your Darby Gail little people with the king or the lecons right,
very sure. And then your solitary fairies they don't care for crowds. They
live alone. These are your lepricons, your claricons. Oh I got the
claricons. Yeah, these are the ones who like to go it alone and
prefer not traps around with a lot of their same ilk. So let's talk
about the folklore a little bit about them. The folklore, I mean,
that's that's the bread and butter of fairies in what we're talking about. Yeah,
I mean, like if you were to dissect a fairy, it's ninety
eight percent folklore. We owe a large part of existing folklore to writers like
WB Yates, Lady Augusta Gregory, and those who collected the oral stories into
works. And thanks to the Irish literary literary revival better not edit that at
you, son of a bitch, Irish literary revival of the turn of the
century, twentieth century, turn of the twentieth century, much of the folklore
that we have has been colored by Christianity. Oh yeah, and this is
this is a theme that we've touched on a few times. It's it's it's
this this this common theme of a of a successful belief system, uh,
sort of incorporating but at the same it's freenomizing. I am going to coin
the term freenomizing, which is very different from friend of me. It's where
you like Christianity in a number of cultures, it incorporates aspects of an existing
established belief system in an area and then very quietly denigrates it. We saw
that with the Halloween the History of Halloween episode exactly. And and you know,
I um, and I think I think I've mentioned this before. I
lived in Ecuador for a while, and you see in in the capital of
Keito, like the old the Catholic Church in the capital is extraordinarily old,
and you still see the glyphs carved into it of the Sun God, of
of these these other the existing religions. That incorporation for the purpose of extermination
so crazy. Yeah, and I'm really pleased with getting to put a lot
of Asians into a sentence. Sure, sure, wins, we can.
We can all rhyme. But here's a little excerpt from how Christianity overtook maybe
some western highlands of Scotland lore. Here's something from there. At the creation
of the world, God made many beings before mankind, some of them like
the angels who followed Lucifer who followed Lucifer wanted to make their own abode and
burst out of Heaven, leaving the gates ajar. The rush of their going
caused many other beings to be sucked out of heaven. God became aware of
what was happening and pronounced let those who are out stay out, and those
who are in stay in, and sealed the gates once more. All the
rebellious angels made their homes in hell, but the beings who had been involuntarily
locked out had to remain on earth and become the fairies. And I'll tell
you what of this subject, my favorite portion is like the origin of the
fairies. And it's an interesting thing because people have come up with a number
of theories, and I like that. I like the not bad enough,
not bad enough for hell, not damned, but locked, you know,
they were they were not they were in the house, got locked, you
know, And so they become faithfolk. There they are locked to the mortal
realm, and so they just have to make the best, you know,
to make best with what they can. Right. While most folks might not
say that they believe in fairies per se, a lot of traditions are still
followed and superstitions are observed relating to belief in fairies. Yeah, and that's
and that's there's a there's an interesting crossover between a superstition and faith folk at
this point, where you could ask a person like, no, I don't
believe in hinky punks or grimin doles or I just made I mean I think
one of those was from Harry Potter. But but at the same time,
there are people who will observe superstitions based on pleasing these entities. Yeah.
Yeah, one one in particular is that folks won't call them fairies. They
won't say fairies outright. Uh. There's there's actually a host of terms that
are used. Oh man, I've got a few here in the gay like,
uh, Nadina maha, which is the good people. Uh in well,
she got the twileth tag, Nadina uushla which is the noble people.
The Tuatha da dana. Oh yeah, the old Toya didan And that's that's
we talked about that. Uh in our Irish Legends episode. These might mean
descendants of that. We'll get to that a little later. People of the
mound, the wee folk, the fair folk. Fairies don't like to be
discussed or seen. Yeah, that's and that's the the interesting thing in it,
and it occasionally kind of shows up in the folklore in the mythology of
it. But there's this this consistency to avoiding observation. They do not want
to be seen. They would prefer to be forgotten, ignored. They are
not interested in drawing the interest of the mortal realm for lack of a better
term. Uh, and knowing their name might give one power over them.
That's that's one thing. And while not necessarily irish in nature, the tale
of Rumpelstiltskin, yes, is an example of this in general and to this
day, folks are worn to be respectful and to tread lightly if there are
fairies present or in general, because for even unwittingly crossing a fairy is bad
news, the worst. It's it's it's just bad. We're going to read
you a story real quick, fry till a graphic in nature, not really,
but uh, one that someone unwittingly crosses a fairy and the repercussions and
do not f with fairies. You are not equipped for it. I know
you're right now, You're like, dude, you should see my lats I've
been hitting the gym. My legit wrong. This is this is a realm.
No, beyond your lats, yeah, your las, control of your
delts. It's better than Curl's day quads. Yeah. No, there's no
trainer that's going to prepare you for what a fairy can bring to your life.
X. That's misery, tries, buys hip, sleds. Face.
I've been working on my face a lot, trying to build my mandibulars.
And now of eating from the Book of Irish Ferry in folk Tales with me
David's deco. Today we've been drinking Jamison and Millie Lite and reading from W.
B. Yates. I have been drinking You have been drinking guinness son.
Well, I'll tell you what. I enjoy guinness, but it's really
hard for me to drink a lot of it. And I thought that was
the order of the day. Oh. I enjoy being a cadl and it's
fun being a girl. That's what I hear. Man Girl, Girl,
Girl, last, last, last, what if this? What if our
episode just evolved into an Irish bar fight? How great would that be for
everyone? It's a way to start season three? So what is this story
called it's called Patty Corkran's wife. Great dear WB Yates. I wouldn't normally
write a letter like this, but something erotic cappain that they just had to
tell someone house. Okay, that was fake. Here's the real deal,
holy Field. Patty Corkran's wife was for several eels of Yeah, Patty Corkran's
wife was for several years afflicted with the kind of complaint which nobody could properly
understand. She was sick and she was not sick. She was well and
she was not well. She was as ladies wish to be who love their
lords, and she was not as such ladies wished to be. I'm already
going to just call this that Corkran's wife was a cry baby, which is
a damning indictment in my world. Keep that in mind next time you complain.
In fact, nobody could tell what the matter with her was. She
had a gnawing at the heart, which came heavily upon her husband, For
with the help of God, a keener appetite than the same gnawing amounted to
could not be met with a summers what this is difficult to get through under
the best of circumstances, and I assure you, dear listener, we are
not in the best of circumstances, all right. She had a gnawing at
the heart, which came heavily upon her husband, for with the help of
God, a keener appetite than the same gnawing amounted to could not be met
with a summer's day. You did it? What did that mean? Just
keep going, all right? The poor woman was delicate beyond belief and had
no appetite at all. So she hadn't barring a little relish for a mutton
chop or a stalk or a bit of mate anyway, for sure, God
help her, she hadn't eaten much. She hadn't the least inclination for the
dree pretty or the drop of sour butter mulk along wid it, especially as
she was so poorly to be sick, and indeed, for a woman in
her condition, for sick as she was poor, Patty was always made to
believe her in that condition. But God's will be done. She didn't care.
Dear sweet gentle erudite listener, I hope this makes more sense than it
does as I read it. Moving on, Ratty on a grain assault was
a welcome to her glory, be to his name as the best roast and
boiled that was ever dressed. And why not there was one comfort. She
wouldn't be long with him, long, troubled him, mathod little what she
got, but she knew herself from with the gnawn at her heart. She
could never do good without the little bit of mate now and then, And
sure if her own husband begridged it to her, who else had she a
better right to expect it from? It'says like doing push ups. It's a
good thing. It's a good thing for the lady listeners that I'm so good
at pushups, ladies. Well, as we have said, she lay a
bedridden invalid for long enough, trying doctors and quacks of all sorts, sexes
and sizes and all without a farthing's benefit, until at the long run,
poor Patty was nearly brought to the last pass, and striving to keep her
in the bit of mate. Oh what is the bit of mate? What
is that? Is that a thing she needs? Is that? Like,
like, hold on, I'm going back. Meat on our bones maybe like
the last bit of meat on our bones. Yeah, it's like it's like,
yeah, it's like that last bit of health. Yeah, okay,
that's the best I can do. Please write in tell me what this means,
Peter, listen, help us. Yeah, no doubt. When we're
drunk, we've no direction, not like we were really killing it before.
Okay. The seventh Year was now on the point of closing. When one
harvest day, as she lay bemoaning her hard condition on her bed beyond the
kitchen fire. A little weishly Weishley, will Weishley, A little one,
you have the helm. I'm going to a hollow deck. Three, be
with your mom. Make it so. A little oh man will a will
Wheaton, A little weshy woman. Oh, we're not moving past this one.
Keep going. You got to don't stop. Lay, I gotta go
back to the beginning of these run on sentences, dude. Commas are a
crutch for Yates. Here. The seventh Year was now on the point of
closing. Comma when Comma won Harvest Day, Comma as she lay bemoaning her
heart condition, Comma on her bed beyond the kitchen fire. Comma, a
little weshy woman, Comma dressed in a neat red cloak. Comma comes in.
Comma, and Comma sitting down by the hearth Comma says, I get
it, okay, I'm done with that. Bats is a best to well,
Kitty Carchrane. You've had a long layer of it. They're on the
board of your back for seven years, and you're just as far from being
care it has ever my grown eye, says the other in throth. That's
what I was this minute thinking of, and a sorrowful thought. It is
to me it's your own fault, then, said the little woman. And
indeed, for that matter, it's your fault that ever you were there at
all. Oh, how is that? Asked kitty. Oh, kitty shure,
I wouldn't be here if I could help it. Do you think it's
a comfort or our pleasure to me to be sick and bedridden? No,
no, said the other, I do not, But I'll tell you the
truth. For the last seven years you have been annoying us. Oh no,
I am one of the good people, and as I ever regard for
you, I've come to let you know the reason why you've been sick so
long as you are. Oh, for all the time you've been ill,
if you've been taking the throuble to reminder your child are thrown out your dirty
washer after your dusk can be before sunrise. Oh, at the very time
we're passing your door, which we passed twice a day. Oh no,
Now, if you avoid this, if you throw it out at a different
place and at a different time, the complaint you have will have you,
so will the no one at your heart, and you'll be as well as
you ever were. If you don't follow this advice, why remain as your
and all the art you know, man can man, man can man,
and all the art of man can't cure you. Then she bade her goodbye
and disappeared. That's nice, kitty, who is glad to be cured on
such easy terms. Immediately complied with the injunction of the faery. Yeah,
and the consequence was that the next day she found herself in good health as
ever she enjoyed during her life. Right, Oh my god, So they
tortured a woman for seven years because she threw her out at a window at
a certain time of day. Yeah, and all they all she needed to
do was throw it out a different window at a different time because they weren't
passing. They were on their way to factory to make shures. Hey,
thanks, Yates, and by Yates, I mean David Flora for that.
You know, Yates can compiled these from oral traditions, so you can think,
well, hold on, I'm gonna reach for a little jamison because I've
earned it. Okay. By the way, um, dear listener, we're
gonna kill an entire bottle of jamison tonight today. Yeah, before we start
him. Before we started, we we down half of it. We'll get
through the second half before the before in the episode's over, if we can.
Fairies in general, right, they're capricious and mischievous, and depending on
the type a fair type, the type and the situation, they can be
malicious or benevolent. Obviously in that story, well, it wasn't necessarily the
woman's fault. She was ignorant of what she was doing. Why didn't they
tell her like seven years prior. That's a good point, Like, yeah,
they let her suffer for seven years. And that's the thing. Like
the faith folk, their whole thing is like to be unobtrusive. They want
to be ignored, and then when they are ignored, they're like, oh,
by the way, I've bedridden you for seven years because of this thing
you were doing good on them for coming in at least telling her though at
some point. Right. So, some are capable of stealing babies. Have
you heard of this? Oh? Yeah, they're stealing babies and replacing them
with irish stinghous. What's called changelings? Yep, it's is either an old
wizened man, wizened man, or a stick a stick. It's a stick
enchanted stick, but it's a stick. They replaced the baby with this,
and people are old, people are full. One way to tell that your
baby is maybe a changeling or not your actual baby bark No. One way
is to boil egg shells. And then as you're boiling them, the changeling
will be so curious that they'll ask you what you're doing. They'll sit up
from the crib and they'll be like, what are you doing, mammy?
Wow, don't don't play like you know what's going on. Just say,
oh, I'm boiling egg shells, and then kill them. You shove a
hot poker down their throat. They got real fast. You shove a hot
poker down the throat, they scream and go away in your baby's back.
So, but what about the poker damage? The poker the poker damage is
for is for the fairy, it's for the changeling. But oh my god,
your baby is fine. Your baby comes back from the fairy realm.
Anyway. Yeah, that's that's a story. Yates dark blame Yates, Yo,
I already have all right. Uh, here's the thing. A natural
ring of toadstools or stones is called a fairy ring. Yeah, heard of
this where fairies have danced. Apparently you don't. Um, A recent scientific
paper explain toadsteel rings. Oh yeah, yeah, what did you ready for
me to like put some science on this. Yeah, it turns out that,
um, the existence of a toadstool ring is this interesting phenomenon we're in,
Like a fungal colony develops in an area. They absorb all the nitrogenous
waste in the soil, all the nitrogen in the soil, and then they
moved to the outer the next part of the soil. And as everybody knows,
as everyone is so bored with mycology, uh, the fungal spores in
the tens of thousands fly out, and so they moves out in this this
concentric circle like every season to get to more nitrogen in the soil, and
so they move out out, out out from this central colony, and if
left entirely undisturbed after a few seasons, they will form this ring. And
it's it's more about resource acquisition than anything. But that is the scientifically proven
reason how toadstool rings develop. Huh, but we both know you and I
that science is a construct of the Obama administration and really it's fairies. Yeah,
the liberal administration wants you to believe. Yeah that thanks. Thanks Bill
O'Riley for helping us out without thank goodness O'Riley factor, no spin zone in
that toad store. Couple of losers in their mother's basement running one of those
podcasts you hear about on liberal TV. Anyways, if you come upon a
toadstool ring or an airy fairy ring, entering one is dangerous at best.
There's a host of curses that are possible anywhere from lost time to you gnawing
at your heart. You could be transported to the fairy realm. You could
be forced to dance ad nauseum dance until you you become exhausted and die.
I mean, don't don't enter a ring. Yeah, just don't do it.
Like, here's the thing at first, you're like, oh, transported
the fairy realm. You're not a welcome guest. That's that's not the best
thing. You're there to dance until your feet are bloody stumps. There are
many stories that tell of people stumbling into the fairy realm or being abducted to
there. And here's the deal with the fairy realm. Time passes more slowly
there, so you could, you know, spend a night there and come
back in a whole year has passed or more in the real world. And
you should take care to never eat or drink if you find yourself in the
air in the fairy realm. Don't eat anything that's offered. Don't drink anything
that's offered. That just makes it worse. Yeah, everything. And there's
like a real monkey pot situation wherein they'll be like, oh, drink this,
it's it's just berry juice, and yeah, you're thirsty. It's so
good that nothing you ever taste will ever be good again, and you will
end up starving to death, like or or your memories will erase right.
All you can remember is being here. Thanks, but no thanks. Yeah,
I want to make like a bunch of like Office of Public Works posters
like like propaganda posters that say thanks, but no thanks. The fairies are
not your friends. Hey, folk risk everything to drink the nectar. Here's
something. A shi guayha or a fairy wind is a miniature whirlwind that can
sweep one away to their way realm or sweep your soul away. Your soul
can be what's called swept away. The thing you want to do for that
just lay flat on the ground and let it pass over you. That's that's
a defense. Again, stop dropping roll people because you don't want to get
swept away. You don't want to get to the fairy realm. You don't
want your soul to get there. I mean, here's the thing you do.
Everyone wants to check out the fairy realm, but you have to know
that it is a marshmallow with a fish hook in it. Oh goodness.
Yeah, Like once you get there, it's your ass. Yeah, and
if you come back, you're going to be scarred. Yep, So just
don't go. We've had this discussion before about like blurry photos PSAs like a
series of like T shirts that's like time travel paradox. Stop it before it
stops you. Yeah, and it don't tempt fate. Yeah, um,
fate kicks your Yeah, do not go to the fay wild. Yeah sounds
nice, not nice, not not fun for it's fun for them. Uh
yeah. Hawthorne trees are sacred to fairies. That's that's their their tree,
that's their thing. Dog. Uh, don't here. Here's something. Don't
touch a comb that's laying on the ground. Well, that's just good hygiene.
It's good hygiene. But if you just come across a comb on the
road, it could be a banshees comb that's been dropped. If you touch
it, you might get just iced on the spot. Wait, so like
a banshee is just looking in the mirror shrieking her head off and being like,
no, what if I parted it on the left? Why does a
banshee have a comb? Combs are for dudes, right, No, no,
no, you're right, you're right. Combs are for everybody. That's
just okay. Yeah, well, abandoned combs, layer of banshees combs on
the ground. Don't touch him, all right, Yeah, could cause instant
death. You never know if Yeah, bad news, bad news, bayers,
bad news, banshees. Here's here's a way to stay on the fairies
good side. You can pour some pottine out, pattine being homemade liquor as
opposed to putine, which is Canadian food liquor. Also delicious, all of
it good potato based. I want to take a moment here to interrupt our
the flow of our podcast. Really do you think this is interrupting? Well,
I've already established yep. I'm surprised. This is a message from me,
David's deco to Canada. Oh hey, I am your friend. If
you are, say a lady Canadian Nadian. I for no political reason.
I don't. I don't get that jazzed up about politics. I would love
to be a Canadian citizen. I would love to live in Canada. I
think it's a beautiful country. I would just love to be there. I've
met a number of Canadians. I've been to a lot of Canadian cities,
and I just really like it there. Let's get married. Yeah, you
get US citizenship, do with it what you will. Not that jazzed about
it myself. I get Canadian citizenship. I get to live north of the
border. You could tell me like, okay, go wherever you like.
I've heard a lot of rough things about some places in Canada. I'm not
saying it's a wonderland and my eyes are open here. I just want to
put that out to our Canadian listeners, which we haven't heard much from.
Come on, you guys, come on Canada, get on board because we
like you. Yeah a lot. Where was I? Here's another way that
you can stay on their good side. You can leave the first milk taken
from the cow cream after all, you guys, after the cow gives birth,
the first milk that they give leave out for the fairies. So keep
keep keep an eye on your cow people. Yeah, stay on their good
side. You want to know what what what they hate? Cold iron?
We've said this before. I think iron is a big no no for fairies.
Iron. I have a we're gonna come back to that, and I
actually have a really good explanation for that for the iron. Okay, let
me read a poem real quick. I think we're at the point where everybody's
hankering for a so nothing more powerful than a poem hankering all right, before
we get to the uh the blurry photos poetry corner with some more lore,
which I'm sure it was far easier to read than the bullstone you gave me.
Let's uh, let's put a little fuel in the tanks, little Irish,
little Irish fuel slancha anywhere between six and eight shots. Oh man,
we've been we've been drinking for a long time. We've we're like one or
two rounds away from killing a bottle, which in my life I don't think
I've ever done. Yeah, a bottle of jamison. Sweat, sweat jamison
can Why don't you read some Yates? Dog? Okay, this one's called
the Fairies apropos enough, I'll allow it. And it's by William Allingham,
from the book Irish Fairy and Folk Tales by WB. Yates. That should
sound awfully familiar. Up the airy Mountain, down the rushy Glen, we
don't go a hunting for fear of little men. We folk, good folk,
troopernal together, green jacket, red cap and white Harol's feather. Down
the rocky shore. Some make their home. They live on crispy pancakes of
yellow tide foam. Some in the reads of the black Mountain Lake, with
frogs for their watchdogs. All night awake. Why on a hilltop the old
king sets He's now so old and gray he's now lost his weds with a
bridge of white mist columbcille he crosses on his stately journeys from Sleeve Lake to
Rosses, or going up with music on cold starry nights, just up with
the queene of gay northern nights. They stole little Bridget for seven years long.
When she came down again, her friends were all gone. They took
her lightly back between the knight and morrow. They thought she was fast asleep,
but she was dead with sorrow. They kept her ever since, deep
within the lake on a bed of flag leaves, watching till she wake by
the craggy hillside through the mosses bear. They've planted down trees for pleasure here
and there is any man, so Darren has dig them up in spite.
He shall find their sharpest thorns in his bed at night, up the airy
mountain, down the rushy glen. We don't go on hunting for fear of
little men. Be folk, good folk, trooping all together, green jacket,
red cap and white house feather. Oh that's so book drop. Well,
congratulations for giving yourself the easy one. Oh is that easy? Yeah?
Okay, compared to the effort I had to expand it's pretty easy.
Yeah, I read a lot of Yates. Dude, all right, I
did the time. Sorry, I'm like a neo fight to Yates. You
are sorry. It was hard for me to fight. Yato fight. And
now for the restauranary photos. We're fighting. Come here, young and we
just punch each other. It's just all punched out. Do you want to
talk about some explanations of what fairies could be? Oh? Yeah, maybe
we're looking from origins of fairies are kind of fascinating. Yeah, a lot
of theories going around, a lot of them. Thank you and your support.
I'm here for you. Take it to the bridge. M mmmmm.
How about this old pagan deities that lost their followers. Oh Jesus, they
kind of had to take a step back. Um and and and in the
lore of it, which explains the need for they want to be hidden,
they want they want to be left alone. They had their time on that's
over. Now we'd like to live in this gigantic old hill the fairy mountains.
Yeah, the remnants of Celtic nature spirits when the quote unquote pagans worshiped
the spirits or or practiced animism as it's called. And then the spirits got
transformed into diminutive spirits, less lesson size and lesson power, moved down the
bench, righte descendants maybe of the Tuaya Daden and yeah, yeah, I've
I've got that. Yeah, going going back to them if you prefer a
bit more blaeble do we? Uh, we already covered this a little bit
um really um for lack of a better phrase, demoted angels people Uh,
angels who were outside the Kingdom of Heaven when the gates were closed. Yeah,
or angels who were in heaven not good enough for Heaven, not bad
enough for Hell. Yeah. And there's a little discussion about uh folklore regarding
um payments made to hell. Uh. You know, somebody has to blow
the lid off this Paola scandal. But that they weren't. They weren't full
on hell bound, right, So they got they got bound to the middle
round, they got bound to the earthly plane immortal um. And and again,
much like a guy who got laid off from his job, he doesn't
want to talk about it. They want to hang out in the background.
Yeah, some of them. Some of the legends go that they either they
got sucked out of Heaven against their will when when Lucifer laughed, I guess,
in such a huff. And then God closed the gates or they sided
with Lucifer. But but weren't bad enough. They they I guess, had
second thoughts or whatever. They didn't go all the way to hell with him.
But God barred the way back into heaven. And so anybody that touched
the land was a fairy. Anybody that touched that landed in the sea turned
into a mermaid. Who. Yeah, which we're gonna come around to that.
Come around of that, We'll get there. That's the Christian stiff.
You want to you want to hear something dark? Oh I alway, dot,
how about this not only the spirits of the dead, but specifically the
spirits of dead children? Oh uh? And and and even to put a
finer point on it, uh and this I actually give points to this because
this is something that people of of a theological bent have argue at a time
or two, have discussed or wondered about the spirits of unbaptized children. Yes,
you know, what do you do with a child who wasn't baptized With
the baby's fault, just a baby dies too soon. They become fairies.
They become the faith folk. That's that's that's that's an explanation for that little
theological loophole. Yeah. Dante even devotes a whole section of the Old Inferno
to to this. Not to digress too much from what we're talking about.
Uh uh yeah, like unbaptized children or as they called them, unchurched.
Yeah, church its spirits of people that weren't weren't church. Now, this
is obviously anti Christian influence. Yeah, this is not pre Christian or or
or pagan influence on this, anti as an ante r not anti right right
right, anti post Christian theology. Yes, so yeah, in an interesting
take on it. Another another interesting take on it, like like, let's
let's take the top hats and the white rabbits out of the situation. Displaced
people's tribes of people, Uh, you've you've got, for example, in
Africa, pygmies, Uh that were very difficult to locate, very good at
hiding. Small people, uh humans, you know, humanoid pieces people people
who were um just smaller and more adapted for their their environment. And um,
rather than than fight people when they were displaced, chose to hide,
they would they would withdraw further. Um. There's a lot of discussion about
whether or not something like that happened in northern Europe, that these people um
that withdrew Uh. For example, one of the things that was listened was
selkies. Uh, the people who are like half seal half human have a
lot if you of are of this, this this set of mind to say
Inuits, um, they wear seal skins, they ride uh, hide bound
canoes. If these people were to show up, you know, you want
to spend some mythology right there there There is at least for the purposes of
a conversation enough there to say, let's talk about it. Let's talk about
the the the biological ramifications that maybe we're discussing, um, the folklore of
people who really were there, of people trying to make sense of another group
who just showed up one day. Sure, sure, um, so that's
that's a very real thing. And and and faith the faith folk aren't limited
to the British Isles or Northern I mean, you know, like the Scandinavia
has a lot of great folklore of of trolls and and and worlds. Yeah,
um, but you have it all over the world. You have uh
in Greek mythology, the nymphs yeah, yeah, very very considered same along
the same lines, Yeah, very very similar to faith folk. Uh.
South Africa has the Abbatwa, which are um they they hold the the record
for smallest of the the faith folk, but they are um you Zulu spirit
folk. The idea of of another race of beyond man, not quite deity,
of this middle ground of existence, is not at all limited to to
Northern Europe. I mean, we've we've done a whole episode on Yoki.
We've done a whole I mean we we we've covered a lot of these things,
and it's and it's it's a very pervasive idea. And obviously because it's
it's uh, it's as it's Saint Patrick's time, and we're trashed because we
are USA, USA Antolin. You know, we're we're we're really kind of
focusing that area. But what's important to know is that this this idea,
there's this concept of a of a middle theological ground. I guess is I
don't know is that that's probably not a good way to put it, but
um that this idea of more spiritual than than mankind, less spiritual than gods
and angels, Yeah, yeah, less divine being out there and among US
is not new, it's not unique, it's it's it's a very commonly held
belief by a lot of people, by a lot of societies, by a
lot of cultures. And and some of that is um the thought that they
are human ancestors, spirit of human ancestors coming in. You mentioned the elves,
You mentioned the nymphs. I also mentioned Metallica. Did you know silf
in Greece silf u s a a pH and that. Yeah, I really
got like a lot of phah silf air spirits. Is what what silf relate
to you? You said South Africa. I've got a West Africa. I
did say South Africa. Okay, you're right, the West Africa. Aziza
is akin to two fairies. I don't know that sounds made up Perry Perry
in Iran or Persia. That's uh, that's akin to fairies. These are
other cultures, like like we said, these are their versions of fairies or
or the type of beings that fairies represent. Uh Nagumwa suck and nana push
in the United States, the Native American version. I say, yeah,
like I've heard of them. I'm just agreeing with you. Of course,
we said the elves in Scandinavian lore, or dwarves and gnomes and cobolds of
the Germanic lore u yo sai in Japan. Yeah, as opposed to yokai
yo si or you say so. A lot of cultures have these uh type
of beings, not not necessarily fairies, right, but they have their own
names and and they're similar in spirit. Let's go through a quick list of
fairy types. Things that fall under fairy man. There's a lot of creatures
that fall under fairy oh man, fall under the category. And in a
way it's it's so wrong. In in a way it's so right. God
when you say that, I have no idea what you're about to do.
Good, all right, Let's start with sprites, oh man. Sprites,
smaller fairies yep, still still under the category, often associated with the elements
though, and you'll often hear of like water sprites. I mean, great
example of sprites. Uh, pixies, oh man. Here's the deal.
Pixies originally piskis a huge history to them. There's a lot and here and
in the other deal, they're they're they're Cornish, right, They're Cornish creatures
from Cornwall. Uh. They're small, smaller than than your normal fairy.
It's synonymous with with fairy, but it's not the same. In fact,
they hate each other. The pixies the piskis hate fairies. Fai. Couldn't
they just understand that they're still similar to each other. I don't know.
Wow, sorry, yeah, I don't know. For the listeners, Flora
just killed a shot like it was just nothing like like, oh, hold
on, let me just wet my whistle, glart. Well, I'm sorry,
Well, I'm you know Irish rules. I've got to match that.
And and ladies and gentlemen, allow me to explain to you that I am
now going to drink the last shot of the bottle. We have killed a
bottle of jamison the night one day. We'll say the same thing at the
end of that and that's it. But that's how you gently, gently lead
a bottle of jamison into that eternal night. Now we've just got a bunch
of crap to chase it with. Boy oh, I was gonna save that
last shot for listener mail, but man, I guess now's the time,
people, children of the future, we're blowing up the moon. The piskis
are a lot like the fairies. Now this will probably piss any pisky that's
listening off. Yeah, piscis huge fan for Pixies. I'm an American.
We're gonna go with pixies. Yeah, pixies with an x uh the original
Piskis with an s k. Pisky sounds very urine to me, and sure,
whatever, man, But the big deal with them they love horses.
I love riding horses, little little tiny horses. Also, their big deal
was they led travelers astray. Yeah, they're dicks. Yeah, it's called
piskey lead, pisky lead. If you're pisky lad, you are led astray
from from your normal path, from enchantment, through enchantments. And you know,
you know one way to prevent yourself from being pisky lead. Carry salt
in your pocket. What, Yeah, carry put it. Put a pinch
of salt in your pocket and and you'll be all right. Okay, don't
worry about it, not above it. Hey, let's talk about Tommy Knockers.
Okay, the Stephen King work, No Tommy Knockers. Originally, these
are Cornish creatures again from Cornwall. These are bigger Cornwall needs to relax,
bigger, bigger than Piskis and the Tommy Knockers live in mines or tunnels.
In fact, they wear miner's clothes. The name comes from the knocking sound
that happens before a cave in No, what do they mind though? What?
Or or okay? Because because you have blue caps that or that mine
coal but not or you got Tommy Knockers that mine or but coal, like
there's great to be a specificity of these. Oh yeah, yeah, did
I say to be instead of degree whatever? I have followed you, Jamison
for your benefit, Darty Bost. We never agree on how it's going to
end. I'll tell you. I'll tell you a secret. I'm always topical.
I thought you were always LEPrecon No because that went topical last time.
Well, me and the goat ass then yeah, Tommy Knockers came over from
Ireland, took jobs west western Pennsylvania. They got out to California with the
gold Rush. Yeah, the eighteen forties stayed with their gremlin families and said,
don't worry, your time is so an haircraft will be here any minute
now. Tommy Knockers. Yeah, not the Stephen King thing. But uh,
you know, I have you seen Tommy Knockers Stephen Kings. I don't
know anything beyond the name. Yeah, I don't either. That's weird.
I don't think that Stephen King's version is true to the Cornish the Cornish version,
yeah, I don't think there's a lot of Stephen King Cornwall sorry steps
over but anyway, Yeah, he's like, oh you hurt my feelings,
I'll dab my tears with these trillion dollar bells. How about the marrow?
Have you heard of these marrow? These are mr folk, same thing as
as mermaids, not silkies. No, they're not seals. They're fish from
the waist down, but they're mostly benevolent. They they they're they're good folk.
They're okay, um, of course, like any fairy. Don't cross
them or they'll they're fun with your ship. Yeah, they will UK with
your ship. That's all right, damn it. Why didn't it Because because
of a bottle of jamison, That's why you're right? Fuh really? Okay?
So marrows red caps? Have you heard of these guys? Yeah,
cousin of the blue caps. Different fashion sense. This is spirit found in
northern England. And by northern England, I mean around the Scotland England border
aka Scotland holly malicious. They kill regularly to keep their caps red and wet
with blood. Yeah, they do not give a bunch of a holes man
if it dries, they dies, right, that's right, that's why.
Uh they say, Just like you keep a pitch of salt in your pocket
to help from Tommy knockers. Yeah, that's what I said. You keep
a hair dryer with you to combat red caps. There. They cannot be
out run. That's you know, it's a real dick move. They'll let
you think you can. They'll be like, oh god, I'm so tired,
slow down, human, and then they like they look like stout man
with crazy eyes, right, crazy eyes like cab drivers and big teeth like
cab drivers. Not the same as the Irish fear dared, which is a
mischievous spirit. Mischievous spirit wears red red cloak, red hat. Not the
same thing. These guys are our total ass hats, red cap ass hats.
So all right, you guys, here's the deal, fairies, huge
subject giant. That's all you get. We we gave you a very very
cursory once over. Right now you're like, oh, but I'm hungry.
If I'm my fairy talk please to telling me more. Well, I'm sorry,
uder you have to go to bed without more food, that's all right,
No pretzel for you. Pretzel culture shift, Oh my god, I'm
gonna I'm gonna include a lot of links to some very cool information on on
them. Uh, you can go out and search for more on your own.
And maybe, maybe, maybe in the course of season three, we
will get someone who knows what they're talking about to talk to us about fairies.
Is nothing we that we could find that could be more informative than what
we've done trashed. Okay, I stand on the mountain of liquor and I
looked down before me, and I'm pleased by what I see. If you
don't celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, then you do. Oh man, oh god,
in your name Ireland, we have drunk a bottle of Jamison, yeah,
and Minni Guinness. So there you go. Yeah, that's uh,
that's that's a whole lot of fairies that we've crammed mystically into into a butterfly
winged nutshell. Yeah, with pixie dust and sparkles. And because it's the
Internet, a picture of a kiddie, I might even I might even go
so far as to say we will try to get somebody who knows what they're
talking about to make more to look, who's so tough? I swear by
the eye for swear, I shout in my lifetime, search out, well,
who doth know more than I have spake on the subjects called the fa
wild Wow fa Fae. Hey, you know you know what I've told you
to watch for for like two seasons now my mouth? No, No,
I've been I've been lax on that Lost Girl. What No, Okay,
the Canadian show Lost You should have said that louder because I have no recollection
of its Lost Girl. It has a lot of Faye references in it.
Oh okay, And when I mentioned the family von Trapp who actually exist,
You're all like, what's that? What's that? You're cast? Yeah?
Okay, fine, super watched that show on the UPN network, Lost Girl.
It's an awesome show. Okay, Uh not not everything is is Faye
related, but they make a lot of good Faye puns. Anyway, Well,
we're big fans of that. That's that's the nutshell. Uh And now
it's time for pones. Yeah, speaking of vay puns, I'm not even
vay puns. I'm not even I'm not even gonna drag it out. Let's
get to it. Okay, you're going first, Yeah, I got it.
Okay, don't steal mine. I'll have to go down to the store
and get me a seven up and maybe a pack of new pun. Pick
up a new Pun. I don't I don't mind. But they're so experiencive.
Man. Oh my gosh, you gotta pay so much tax on.
It's like a bottled water tax. But with this fall, the Weinstein Group,
in association with Hidden Door Pictures, presents She, a tale of a
man whose search for love leads him to the Fay Folk, as opposed to
last year's OSCAR nominated She, where I was a guy with a computer.
She, which is totally different, completely different from the Joaquin Phoenix from the
phonetically similar movie This Is She asked, idh of oh Man Good distances himself
from mankind and seeks love in the fay Wild. She in theater soon?
Not her? Not sure? Not her? She? It's very hey,
let's never drink again. I am apologizing and I don't mean it. Sorry,
I'm not sorry. Okay, I've got this is something that you may
have have come across in your travels. Man may have seen this and may
heard of this. Sometimes sometimes you get lost, you lose time. Um,
maybe you get into dream like world. Fu. You've had some drinks.
I'm there right now, right, I think you've been whiskey lead oh,
because of the piskey. Whiskey lead oh. That's brilliant. I like
that, all right, I got one. There was a time when this
country understood what fitness was, what healthy eating was, but we've forgotten it.
We stopped paying attention, and so healthy foods and good living they've receded.
And as they are no longer worshiped, they would prefer to be left
alone. But if you, if you are still interested in genuine a genuinely
healthy love style, they're still Tuatha de dan and yogurt available. Yeah.
How do we not come up with that last time? I don't know,
but we didn't and we did. Thank you? Like her? Good job?
All right? I have some some mischievous beings who delight in tacking on
fees and a lot of trouble. Mother. First, when traveling by plane,
dicks you know, you know what they're called, what air fairies?
But that's serious. Those really cost a lot of money. Why to hard
working Americans who want to want to go to NASCAR. There's your puns.
Sorry about it. I can't feel remorse anymore. So them's puns, them's
puns. Go drink your own beers and then they'll be hilarious. Oh my
gosh, we've we have really Okay, I'm telling you right now, a
year from now when we kick off season four, this is the limit.
We can't do more than this without throwing up. Yeah, yeah, the
cheese. To the limit right now, Yeah, to a limit that she
is ground it. Oh guys, this some listener mail. Uh so,
just kidding. We're sober right now. Sorry, you guys have to peep
behind the curtain. But um, when we record and when we try to
keep listener mail up to up to scratch temporarily, yeah, I think we
discussed this before. The listener mails kind of get recorded separately so that they
come out when they're hot and fresh from your mind o them. Yep.
So also, I'd like to take this opportunity to say I'm sorry. Liquor
makes a beast of us all have to apologize. You sound fine in this
episode. That means that I have a problem. That's a that's a serious
issue. Here's some listener mail. Uh listener, Danielle hits us. He's
been catching up through the annals of our of our backlog. Good better than
the anals. I was gonna say, thats of like from the eurectum of
our poop still drunk our catalog. And so she just listened to our spring
heel Jack episode, which is a crowd pleaser. And she got in ahead
and looked up some Cockney slang for sweet sweet titties. How about the bracon
bits? Oh um, a newer one, the brad Pitts ding from the
sixties, the earth a Kits ding Thrupenny bits, Ding, bacon bits.
Put them on your salad, chuff ter bits, m Bristol bits. Yes,
and there's a bonus one, the ducks and geese for fucking police.
Hey, thank you. Danielle's are a consistent delight and I suspect you to
be one of the finest people I've ever known. Moving on, we have
a ton of listener mails, So we're gonna we're getting through this. We're
gonna go like super fast. Yeah, we're gonna go fast. Here's here's
the deal. Not all of it coming out this week, but we'll we'll
section it off and keep throwing it in. We'll bumping the road from our
hiatus. But we're gonna work. We're working through it. Yeah, we'll
work through it. Um. So if you don't hear yours this week,
don't fritten in, don't fritten it'll come. We got a we got a
great email from Jay. Jay. What's going on, buddy? He says,
he's still still faithfully listening. Thank you so much, and um hates
Alex Jones. Ding ding ding ding. That's all we needed. Well done,
welcome aboard, Jay, And he wants us to do uh like Jones,
she exactly what they want us to do. They want us they want
us to investigate Alex Jones and they want us to find something. He's blowing
the lid off, all right, and they want us to blow the lid
off that which is which is an amazing thing, double lad blow. Science
will tell you it's impossible, but not me. No, no, no,
that's that's not intellectualism. And I'm not gonna have any part of it.
Jason, I can blow the lid off. The lid has been blown
off of Thanks for letting us do that, Jay. Well, yeah,
you know what we got close with the old uh willow really, but he's
no Alex Jones. That's true. We might we might have to. I
think we shouldn't go for that. That's a good idea. Great, thanks
Jay. Okay, now we got up. We got a lot of emails
to get through here, so I used coming there. Dun Luke writes us
in this missive the Northern Militia has been making some trouble. I've been our
previously peaceful via. I have some puns with which who arm ourselves in order
that we may removed him. A small island off the close of Canada,
a pit was dug. In it was found several logs and more dirt than
more logs. Upon closer examination, it was revealed that they were not lugs,
but the long dough fried pastries. A company was formed to exploit the
money pit, the Turo Company Truro. I wish you guys could see,
like when Floriad does accents, he has a lot of hand gestures and he's
got this moment he's that that always rolls out whenever Don Luke's in town.
In the lacesc religious movement was formed in response to the predominant meat eating culture
promoting freethinking vegetarianism. He called itself the Church of Satan. Yeah it's a
it's the meat less meat. Yeah, it's actually entirely gluten So if you're
on a gluten free bat diet, used tale. Satan is Satan. There's
a new religious Satan, this movement down in Australia. They're calling themselves good
Day and Satanism. I hope this POSSI will help in the good fight until
next time. I remained fair for yours. Moving on all right, Thank
you. Josie hits us up with a great correction. Because Josie is more
polylingual than we are. It turns out that lamb um doesn't really exist in
French because the word rhombus is different. So if you're going to France and
you have to talk about a terrible uh polyhedron, then you would want to
say less ordered that at your finest cafe next to your lass. I like
putting them in my mouth when I have a cold. Thank you, Josie,
Josie and X. Please everyone, especially our French listeners. He's excuse
our franklish. And then thanks Josie for helping try to elevate us we're gutters.
We heard from Josie. Now we've heard from Jesse. Yeah, Jesse,
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse, nice to meet you, Jesse. Right
in Hey Jesse. Uh, next Jesse. Bessie sends us a really fun
link on YouTube of a video of some guy who has some opinions about the
hollow Earth. Yeah, yikes, wow, all right, that the Earth
is entirely hollow because it is the outer shell of everything that we're all on
the inside, like Halo. Yeah, it doesn't spin, it's not actual
planet. I think there was some script spaces the words. I think there's
some scripture in there. Uh, guys covering a lot of basis stuff going
on. Guy, I was staring a lot of buckets. This is a
prime example of the enormous holes you can fall down in YouTube, literal or
otherwise. Right, Um, thank you Jesse. Yeah, thanks Jesse.
Were I love get out of it? Uh. Next up, we heard
from our friend worldwide west www dog old Worldwide himself taking the yarn on the
corkboard, connecting them. Oh, I love this. So from our our
kin height to Cthulhu Mythos episode, he is from left field connecting the yarn
from our I don't know where cameraman didn't even know it follow him. There
comes last Gin episode saying you got a full head of steam on him,
securities trying to get a hold of him. One look at me stopping.
Musta greased himself up before he got on in the field, because look at
him run. Look at the run. They can't hold onto him. Well,
he shook another one. He's heading for that fans and he's over and
you know natastical rules are you get over the fats? They can't touch you.
I got away, You got away with it. If I were naked,
I would not attempt that jump. Well you know what, though,
you know that's why we're not on the field. That's why we don't.
We don't have the guts to be naked on the field. Point I should
point out at note point, are we accusing less of running around greased up
and make but his ideas do so. He's saying, Jin as we know
them are subspecies of dimensional chambler who are bound to serve the Black Pharaoh,
and that's why they're located truly in the Middle East or wherever the cult of
the Black Parole can be found. This is coming from a cool gaming seed
for the Cthulhu mythos, lots of fun ideas that to me, this is
like you're taking concepts in gaming that world and coming up with some cool theories
in i RL in real life. I think that I think that there is
not, and I think that it will because video games have finally caught on.
You know, it's like generationally they're just their uniform. That's not that
thing the kids are doing anymore. It's the thing everyone's doing. Yeah,
And I think that the idea of and you know, there's always those kind
of pithy, irritating um everything I needed to learn and we learned in Yeah,
but there are genuine real world lessons in game theory in how you solve
puzzles in games, or or lessons that you can't apply to your life that
you learn in games about decision making and UM and prioritizationization. And I think
that those are really valuable. And I think which legendary weapon is the best
to use? Yeah, exactly, you got to know like percentages and statistics.
It's like I want to know exactly how often I'll be casting that fireball?
Are you going to get more of a percent chance to find magical items
with this or are you going to just raise your vitality. We've been playing
a lot of Diablo lately, Floria, and I've been playing a lot of
Diablo anyway. Thanks, thanks West, Thanks for right, thank you cool
idea, and you guys, we're gonna cut it it this week so as
not to get too drunk in the tooth. It's right, and and enjoy
how we end this episode. Yeah, boy, back to our altar or
egos who don't remember much. Yeah, Dare and Dare. Yeah, this
is gonna. This is actually kind of weirdly jarring. I'm excited to see
how this hurt. Like this sounds like drunk, get drunk and drunkie.
You know what, though, I'm gonna I'm genuinely going to be going to
feel as shameful if I don't determine a difference because I was cross eyed.
It means that I maybe I'm the chosen one to be drunk all the time.
Yeah, maybe that's a lifestyle. You'll drink all our sins away Jesus
just like him. All right, listen, thank you guys for getting through
this. This is it's it's kind of a litmus test in a way.
Yeah, we thought it would be whimsical, and maybe to you it is,
but we're not drinks like we pretend we are, but we're not.
It's it's more than we expected for sure. Goodness gracious, oh my gosh,

year and season three that we will be revealing. I'm not going to say
shortly, but we have we gotta tag some things down. But like we
have a real genuine agenda and your your contributions, your donations matter right extraordinarily,
and we're going to find a way we were working on it right now
to immortalize you for this and this is no I'm so sorry, Fancy Kat,

thirteen not for Fancy Cat is simply the King of Halloween emeritus. And your

shocked at your certificate. We figured out a plan for it. It's gonna
be amazing. We do have a plan. We pained. Oh oh my
god, oh my god, you and this will so much better. This
will affect all listeners and especially those within the Chicago land aheah, or maybe
even like four hours away. You sound like you're in the penalty box Chicago
area. This is better than Chicago. Oh, oh my god, there's
no penalty box. Now. We have a three beer rule. Did you
know that? We do have a three billion three We really do like after
three beers, like I can't you can't do together. We're do some ghost
stories. We didn't have a Yule episode where we told ghost stories, so
our rule stories have not been frightening. We need to make them more frightening.
It is true. It's been pointed out to us, and it is
absolutely true. Well and and the next time we do ghost stories, TBD,
slow your rule. People we like. In addition to a genuine search
for actually frightening ghost stories, we're also going to write our own. We're
