00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,880
covering Dungeon Crawler Carl, Book four, Date of the Feral Gods,

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:25,920
chapters thirty four and epilogue. In these chapters, there's a

4
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:30,359
whole bunch of shit with Carl, but let's all be

5
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,960
very real. The epilogue is the most interesting part. I

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,200
am very excited to be getting some alien puvs just

7
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:45,439
a little, just a taste and bees alive. Welcome to

8
00:00:45,520 --> 00:01:06,840
spoil Me, Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.

9
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,319
Thank you very much to Michael for commissioning this episode.

10
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:12,760
Michael just left a big chunk of text in the

11
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,719
chat and then wrote sorry for the essay. He says,

12
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,480
I didn't want to mention it at the time, but

13
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:19,719
back when you were wondering about Donut asking Zev if

14
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,079
she should name the doll Charlie or Ivy, it was

15
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:24,719
actually Donut probing Zev to see if she was still

16
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,319
Zev via a gossip. Oh, I knew. I understood that

17
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:30,400
was what she was doing. But then in one of

18
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:32,840
the middle seasons, a new character showed up named Charlie.

19
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,319
At the end of the season, it was revealed she

20
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,480
was actually a girl named Ivy who was hired to

21
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,239
pose as Charlie as a scam. So Zev was telling

22
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,079
Donut she was still Zev pretending to be someone else. Ah, Okay,

23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,040
I love it. I love it because I understood what

24
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,519
Donut was trying to do in terms of just being like,

25
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,519
are you still in there? Zeb, But I didn't know

26
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:02,000
that that specific reference was a story about identity in

27
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:08,159
that way. So it's great. It turns out whatever they

28
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:12,520
did to Zev, it didn't take, and Zev's still doing

29
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:15,080
her a thing, and as we see a little bit later,

30
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:18,199
she's really trying to frame it as like I'm scolding

31
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:22,680
you right now, bad job that you did, carl and

32
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,599
is managing to squeeze in a lot of information. It's

33
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,280
really smart and I'm delighted with her. Michael says, all

34
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,000
these references make me wonder how much media Matt has watched,

35
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,120
and it also concerns me that I catch a lot

36
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,280
of them and what that says about my media habits. Listen,

37
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,439
this is the thing about pop culture in general is

38
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:49,400
sometimes there's things you can't help but like absorb, and

39
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:53,560
then there's just you know, being around people like it

40
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,000
may be the sort of thing where Matt isn't a

41
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,319
huge gossip girlfriend, but he was dating somebody who was

42
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,759
and they were watching. You know, like I've absorbed some

43
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:07,439
things about X Men because I'm just around a massive

44
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,439
X Men fan all the time. And not to say

45
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,879
that dudes don't like Gossip Girl, because there's a whole

46
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,199
podcast of dudes covering Gossip Girl. And also one of

47
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,599
Marshall's best friends, Chase, Gossip Girl is like his favorite show,

48
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:29,800
so it's absolutely something that appeals to do this as well.

49
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,719
But I'm just saying sometimes it's just, you know, the

50
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:36,280
friendships that you have, you wind up seeing and being

51
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,879
around stuff more than you would otherwise as well. But

52
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,479
we just a lot of our lives in the modern day,

53
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,080
like it or not, a lot of our lives are

54
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:52,439
spent consuming media. And that's just you know, something that like,

55
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,000
we have the media to consume, and some of them

56
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,319
sometimes it's great, and sometimes I think it can be

57
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:00,800
a bit of a problem, but it is what it is.

58
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:07,240
And I like the the whole thing with Charlie and

59
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,080
Ivy and one posing and then admitting who they really are.

60
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,719
I was like getting confused because I haven't seen Gossip Girl.

61
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:17,759
I watched like one episode and it just wasn't for me.

62
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,360
But I remembered you guys talking about how there was

63
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:24,199
like a plot line where they introduced a character that

64
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,800
pretty much everybody fucking hated, and so I was thinking

65
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,600
that it was that plot line that she was referencing,

66
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,279
and I didn't see any significance in that. But that

67
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,680
was the only thing that I came up with. Sarahm

68
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,399
Bad Crawler. Why just think how much worse it would

69
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:48,160
be if you did X y Z, So don't do it.

70
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:52,439
Wink wink zeb Did you just type out wink wink. Yeah,

71
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:55,199
that's like kind of what it does come down to

72
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,680
in this section. It's very it's very great. I ah,

73
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:08,319
you guys not to bring it down, but I do

74
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:12,879
want to say that we are in a place right

75
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,560
now in the United States as a country where people

76
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:23,279
feel worried about actually posting their opinions about certain stuff

77
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,639
on social media, and like there are gonna be people

78
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:28,720
out there that were like, oh, it was always dangerous

79
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:33,079
to do that. People got dockxed all the time. It

80
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,600
was always dangerous to just say racist shit because then

81
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:39,240
people would get in touch with your job and be like, hey,

82
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:42,560
did you know what racist works for you? But now

83
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,839
if people are just like I'm not that sad that

84
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,319
Charlie Kirk is dead all of a sudden, that you know,

85
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:53,480
that can be reported and they will get fired. And

86
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,639
that's a very different thing of like you are not

87
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:59,160
performing grief at the level I think you should. That

88
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,360
is not the same thing as I actively hate an

89
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,800
entire segment of the population. And it's resulted in this

90
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,839
like awful thing happening where even Rashaan, you know, she

91
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,000
works for a bank, and it's the kind of setting

92
00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:22,519
where this sort of thing is taken seriously. And so

93
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,360
not only does she not feel free to post things

94
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:27,639
on her socials even though all of them are set

95
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,000
to private, she is starting to get worried about saying

96
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,399
certain things on the podcast as well, Like she's starting

97
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:38,120
to get worried about her name being out there connected

98
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,160
to the podcast at all, and like is like looking

99
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,480
back at ten years ago and kind of wishing that

100
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,360
she had chosen a different name to go by so

101
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:50,120
that she could feel a little bit more free to

102
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:54,519
state her opinion. And what a fucking shame, man. You know,

103
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,879
the idea that like these sorts of penalties. You it's

104
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:06,959
just bonkers. Sorry, I'm just seeing Michael. Did you not

105
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,319
see how hot Blake Lively and Leyton Measter and Chase

106
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:15,439
Crawford and Penn Oh you know what, Michael, I'm so wrong.

107
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:18,639
You guys are talking about Gossip Girl. I just realized

108
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,680
I completely forgot. I'm getting this mixed up with Gilmore Girls.

109
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,680
That's the one that I watched an episode and it

110
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,079
wasn't for me. I've watched all of Gossip Girl. I

111
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,040
lie to you, I don't remember the Charlie Ivy thing though,

112
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,920
I will be honest, I remember very little of that show.

113
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:39,879
I enjoyed it a lot while I was watching it

114
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:46,839
because like the fashion and you know, obviously, but so apologies, Uh,

115
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,639
I take it all back. I enjoyed Gossip Girl at

116
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:52,759
a great deal. Brett in the comments says, those are

117
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:58,000
different shows. Yes, Gossip Girl is about extremely wealthy people

118
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,319
living in New York and going to high school with

119
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,319
these like class issues between them, and then Gossip Girl. No,

120
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:14,000
Gilmore Girls is about allegedly middle class people and it's

121
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,439
a mom and her daughter and their relationship and they

122
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,279
live in the suburbs. From what I understand. So yeah, anyway,

123
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,959
I really need to get it together, guys. So let's

124
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,840
talk about the first and like, the first installment on

125
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:38,639
chapter thirty four is from Crawler Porthos and he is

126
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,480
basically saying, this book came to me full of a

127
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,120
lot of kind of low key useless information, and I'm

128
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,399
going to add info. But I just wonder how long

129
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,960
it's gonna take for this to develop into something, this

130
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:00,960
book to become something that will be actually be useful

131
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,480
to people. And I think that's a fair question. That's

132
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:11,399
the difficult thing that I keep referencing how fighting against

133
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,320
injustice is a kind of job that you often don't

134
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,480
get to see the results of it, like in your

135
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,720
own lifetime, and so you just have to trust that

136
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:30,000
what you are doing is going to help somebody eventually,

137
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,399
it's going to matter at some point, but in the

138
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:41,480
moment it may feel very futile, and like, for all

139
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:45,679
you know, it may be futile. This is not meant

140
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,399
to be discouraging. It's just you've got to do what

141
00:09:49,519 --> 00:10:01,039
you can, regardless of the projected success of it. You've

142
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,039
got to do it because it's simply the right thing

143
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,799
to do. And that's just it's really hard. We try

144
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,200
and act like it's sort of not it is, though

145
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:18,679
it's very hard. So this I'm gonna kind of low

146
00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:22,600
key go through this whole thing with the gods like

147
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:26,879
really quickly, because there's other stuff that I want to

148
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:29,840
get to that I find a lot more interesting. I'm

149
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,039
gonna be real with you, guys, the whole thing with

150
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,440
the gods is like, low key my least favorite part

151
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:41,879
of the story so far. It's not exactly that it's

152
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:45,879
like not interesting at all. It's more that the scale

153
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:54,039
of it is so enormous and it's so like difficult

154
00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:00,200
to have any like major effect on that it's hard

155
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:07,440
for me to completely relate to it and connect with it. It's

156
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:13,519
just too big, you know. And so there's like a

157
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,320
whole segment in here where he pulls some math's head

158
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:26,120
out into the world, which her presence will generate another God,

159
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,279
and everybody's like, what are you doing? And this is

160
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,039
the solution is that by doing that and drawing another god,

161
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,279
it's getting rid of the first one that showed up, which,

162
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:48,360
like again it just feels like this is like it's

163
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,799
not a Carl didn't affect anything because literally he's the

164
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,440
one that summoned another god. But like it's just getting

165
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:58,759
the god here and then they do everything, and it

166
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,519
doesn't really feel like much to me, you know what

167
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,759
I'm saying. The only thing that I thought was interesting

168
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:13,679
was the attachment for the chist Era that he gets,

169
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:21,519
and it's apparently an emergency platinum box, which later on,

170
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,399
Mordecai says that the amount they probably paid for that

171
00:12:27,159 --> 00:12:31,080
is insane, that it's more than like the GDP of

172
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,759
some systems, and can't even wrap his head around it.

173
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:38,919
And Carl is feeling kind of sad about it because

174
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,759
he thinks that this is coming from people who are

175
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:45,720
hoping he's going to do the right thing that he

176
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,440
has been saying very loudly to everybody he's about to

177
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,679
do when he has a different plan in mind. And

178
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,519
so he feels kind of like these folks maybe kind

179
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,679
of put it all on the line to help me

180
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:02,159
because they are under the wrong impression what I'm about

181
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:07,960
to do with this. Sorry, Michael says, it's like the

182
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,279
Abudon from Cradle, which was a complaint for a lot

183
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,879
of people. Yeah, like the Avedon, at least we get

184
00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:18,039
povs and we get to see interpersonal interactions in a

185
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:23,039
degree that makes them feel humanized. But the gods in

186
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,559
this are just a joke so often that nothing about

187
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,279
them feels like it matters to me, you know. Saraphim says,

188
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:34,480
the god stuff is basically just a massive soap opera

189
00:13:34,519 --> 00:13:37,960
that we're tuning into like season fifty of exactly, and like,

190
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,399
I just don't care about any of it. I don't

191
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,879
even with it being a joke. I don't even find

192
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:46,240
it particularly funny. There are a lot of times with

193
00:13:47,039 --> 00:13:50,120
the humor in this series where I feel like he's

194
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:52,960
trying a little too hard, And with the gods, it

195
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:00,759
feels like, especially that it's just it just feels like

196
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,799
really going big in a bunch of ways that fall

197
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:13,519
sort of flat for me. So anyway, when we looted

198
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,840
the letter and papers from Gazi the Mage, it had

199
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,399
contained more than just a group of coordinates. At the

200
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,159
back was a list of scenarios that showed what would

201
00:14:21,159 --> 00:14:23,480
happen if different parts of the Gate were brought through

202
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:27,399
an open portal. The very last scenario showed a method

203
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,120
of keeping the Gate from unleashing a monster into the

204
00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:34,879
world that required us to leave one watch on one side,

205
00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:39,200
another on the opening side, and the winding box inside

206
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,879
the gate. It had basically ruined the artifact, but it

207
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:45,960
would make the portal safe. But it was the second

208
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,720
to last scenario that had intrigued me. Sorry, guys, if

209
00:14:49,759 --> 00:14:52,519
you hear that, if the first watch was left in

210
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:54,799
the box and it was taken through the portal, but

211
00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:57,960
the second watch remained on the opening side, it would

212
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,960
result in a feral god appearing on both sides of

213
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,399
the portal. The plan, as I loudly and happily explained,

214
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,799
was straightforward. We'd open a portal to the ninth floor,

215
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,840
I'd keep the second watch, and we'd send juice Box

216
00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:16,720
through with the rest. That would result in a feral

217
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:20,679
god appearing on the ninth floor and hopefully trashing the

218
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:25,440
area where it was summoned. Which is already kind of

219
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,840
a dope idea. It turns out this isn't this isn't

220
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:34,799
the thing, but I'm into it. I remember when Prince

221
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,840
Stalwart had made his stupid little video after he'd killed Manossa,

222
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:40,960
the singer. He'd been in a castle overlooking a field

223
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:44,120
of soldiers. This was right after the ninth floor had opened.

224
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:47,000
Since there was only one pre built castle on the

225
00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:50,639
faction war's playing field. We now knew in which of

226
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:54,480
the nine locations their army was located. Thanks to the

227
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:01,879
Book of Coordinates, I knew exactly where to summon the gate. Amazing.

228
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:07,960
I did not see this specificity coming at all. Seven

229
00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:11,039
of the nine factions had sued to stop this from happening.

230
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:13,720
They knew the armies weren't yet strong enough to hold

231
00:16:13,799 --> 00:16:16,799
back an attack from a feral god, especially if a

232
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,639
second god was summoned to their location, the ensuring the

233
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:23,919
ensuing chaos would be enough to flatten their fortifications and

234
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,639
kill their armies. And there's a conversation between him and

235
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,159
Juice Box where she's like, so, everybody that's an NPC

236
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,480
like me, you're fucking killing And he's basically like, wouldn't

237
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,799
you rather die this way than in their little game?

238
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:40,879
And she's like, I guess, which that's really the right

239
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:44,840
attitude of just like I suppose, but like, don't pretend

240
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:54,600
it's noble or anything like, it's just I don't know. Uh, Carl,

241
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:57,399
I decided, I don't like giant monsters. Don't not announced.

242
00:16:57,399 --> 00:17:00,200
I'll be much happier when we're done here. I have

243
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:02,759
bad news for you, donut. You won't be done with

244
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:08,039
giant monsters after you leave this floor. That's not if anything,

245
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:15,079
they're getting bigger, I'm guessing, you know. Like, so this

246
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,519
is when Zev chimes in and talks about the legal

247
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:23,160
challenge and says that you know, it was a close thing,

248
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,079
and since you now own stock in a company based

249
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:29,319
in the Skull Empire, which had not occurred to me

250
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,920
him owning stock the way that he got from the AI,

251
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,960
but that makes sense that would be a factor, even

252
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:43,799
though it's a tiny amount. So he expresses some surprise

253
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,279
at the fact that Boran and Valtae are working together,

254
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,799
and she says it's no surprise since the sole plaintiff

255
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:52,359
for this one was the Skull Empire, and even though

256
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,960
we're currently at odds with the valte neither entity is

257
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,039
a big fan of the ORCS. I bit my lip,

258
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,200
not allowing my sudden anger to bubble over into the

259
00:18:01,319 --> 00:18:05,640
chat a lawsuit because I was threatening their goddamn toy

260
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:11,400
soldiers and imaginary fortifications and yeah, and the whole thing

261
00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:14,200
just being like, yeah, I guess we don't like orcs.

262
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,079
Fuck those guys, Like really, what it comes down to

263
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,440
is racism about these people, which we later see is

264
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,960
like really a thing with the alien races that they

265
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,759
have like a very particular idea about what each of

266
00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:36,240
them is or is like. So then Zev says, we

267
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:39,279
approve of what you're planning, but game breaking antics that

268
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:43,559
affect sponsors will not be tolerated in the future. And

269
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,799
he tells her tell them to go fuck themselves, and

270
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:49,519
she's like, yeah, you know, I can't say that, but

271
00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:52,039
but bye bye, bye, bye bye. I gotta hang up.

272
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,720
So then they get a chat from Gideon and he

273
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:07,559
mentions these gods and that there's one left that's got

274
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,400
a very large whip and they can hear it yelling,

275
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,000
and eventually this is when he goes and gets some

276
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,880
eth and brings her outside and he gets the emergency

277
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:27,240
Platinum box. I extended my Shissarah, and sure enough the

278
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,440
device slid easily onto the scoop. I wouldn't be able

279
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,039
to retract it like this, but the item's purpose was clear,

280
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,480
and it's just meant to hold her head so that

281
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:42,640
he can chuck it, which is remarkable, Like just imagine

282
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,920
her head being that important that they that they would

283
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,960
spend this much for him to use it the way,

284
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:53,079
you know, it makes total sense. You know, he has

285
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,079
to chuck it as far from himself as he can

286
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,759
get it so that the god is nowhere near him

287
00:19:58,759 --> 00:20:02,200
when it appears, hopefully that it gets drawn to her instead.

288
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:07,480
But nevertheless, she wants him to put a knife between

289
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,559
her teeth, and he's just like, yeah, sorry, don't have

290
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:16,240
time for that. When tossing ahead of a withering spirit,

291
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,559
distance travel will be greatly enhanced five hundred meters time's strength.

292
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,000
Tossed head will be magically returned once the extension slot

293
00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:31,599
is removed from the chiest era. That is like so impressive, honestly,

294
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,200
the fact that he can reuse this' and I'm assuming

295
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,599
he's going to have to, you know, wild uh and

296
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,039
Donut is like it's crazy that they had that ready

297
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:45,880
to go, and Carl's like, nah, they had this for

298
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,160
another floor I think, and then they just got their

299
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,519
hand forced to send it now. And of course I'm

300
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:57,160
thinking about this, like because later on we get a

301
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,599
scene with people who are from this like pacifist group,

302
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:08,240
and they are obviously being funded. There's there's something else

303
00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:11,880
going on with them, and at this point I was

304
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,240
very much on the alert they're able to spend that much,

305
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:18,640
and they're like this group of pacifists, like the way

306
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,279
that Mordecai described them was a sort of scrappy grassroots group,

307
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:27,240
and I would never expect them to have access to

308
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:30,039
that kind of money. So them being the ones that

309
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:33,799
funded this, I was instantly like, Okay, what the fuck?

310
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,839
That doesn't make any sense. And in the epilogue, one

311
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,279
of them's like, we got to work on this before

312
00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:42,720
people start to wonder, and the other character is like,

313
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:46,079
they're wondering, it's too late. That's like kind of done,

314
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,440
and I was like, yeah, I feel like everybody's got

315
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,839
to wonder about that. Now there's gonna be some attention

316
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,680
on you. You kind of blew your own spot up

317
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,160
by doing this. But evidently these people, it seems like

318
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,160
they are at actually working to maybe take down the game,

319
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:07,519
and they see like Carl has their best chance at

320
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,359
doing that, and so they're trying to keep him specifically

321
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,279
alive because he might be able to be a sort

322
00:22:12,319 --> 00:22:24,279
of figurehead. So anyway, the whole thing here, The demon

323
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,559
that has the whip is named Slit and she has

324
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:30,720
a sister named Gash, which I was like, oh my God,

325
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:37,240
and the god that is summoned is apparently Samantha's mom,

326
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:45,160
and she takes care of slit, so that whole thing

327
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,200
she talks about like that there was a misunderstanding and

328
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,119
that's why the one thought that I had sex with

329
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,119
her king, but it was my king. YadA YadA, it's

330
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,799
you know. But apparently she has other sisters that will

331
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:03,960
probably have to worry about later. So then we jump

332
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,880
back over to Juice Box and it's after this, and

333
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,000
she's showing them different forms of creatures and telling them

334
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:14,240
about their weak spots and how to kill them, which

335
00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:20,759
is really really helpful. And we eventually get Juice Box

336
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:24,039
telling Carl to keep Lewis safe because she's in love

337
00:23:24,079 --> 00:23:26,480
with him and they're going to get married. And I

338
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:29,559
love that Carl describes all the crazy shit he's seen.

339
00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:32,880
But this is the thing that really makes him stop

340
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,759
and gape, And I fully understand it's not just that

341
00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:41,039
it's Lewis, because that's kind of how it's played, is

342
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:43,400
that the thing that makes him stop and gape is

343
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,640
that anybody would be in love with Lewis. But for me,

344
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,599
it's the idea that anybody is having time to fall

345
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,759
in love and even consider marriage. It's just so like

346
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,400
off plan in terms of what we're really meant to

347
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,720
be focusing on. And in a sense, that's what I

348
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:02,559
like about it, you know, But there's another part of

349
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:05,640
me that's just like, really, you guys are even thinking

350
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:13,440
about this stuff, I guess. So this is when Carl

351
00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:16,960
just says, all right, Maggie, I know you're out there,

352
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:26,039
just fucking come out already, and Carl explains about the

353
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:28,920
potion that Mordecai has figured out how to make with

354
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,920
the yam. The yam can be used for a lava

355
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:42,519
potion where they can pass through rock. So basically, I

356
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,440
drink it and you aren't going to be able to

357
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,599
hurt me because your arms as a rock monster will

358
00:24:50,839 --> 00:24:56,880
pass through me, which Maggie pretty much immediately solves by

359
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,920
jumping on out of Chris's body and burrowing into ca

360
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,440
Carl as the worm, which he you know that phase

361
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:06,880
potion has nothing to do with. But first there's the

362
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,079
conversation between the two of them where she says, they

363
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:11,519
have my other daughter, Carl. They're going to bring her back.

364
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:13,759
They're going to turn her into a monster and make

365
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:16,000
someone kill her. If I don't do this. I can't

366
00:25:16,039 --> 00:25:21,480
let it happen. And Carl I appreciated. He says, they're

367
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:25,640
doing this to all of us. We all lost someone, Maggie,

368
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,880
we could have worked together. You got misled. I regret

369
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,400
what happened with Yvette, but you're focusing your anger on

370
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,759
the wrong people. And she says, you don't understand. I'm

371
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:41,839
not angry anymore. Just go down the stairs. I was

372
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,559
so angry before. I wasn't a bad person before this,

373
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,920
I swear, but I have to protect my family no

374
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,880
matter what. I thought it was done when I killed Frank,

375
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,799
but I was wrong. When the Caprid came to us

376
00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:58,160
in the rest area, it told me it'd help if

377
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:04,720
we killed you. And as she's saying this, she's apparently

378
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:07,960
getting warnings that she's not supposed to. And she says,

379
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,119
if it's legal to happen, she's saying this out loud,

380
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,599
then it's legal to say out loud. Fuck all of you.

381
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,319
What are you gonna do? Accelerate me. He's a cleric,

382
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:20,240
a goat thing, a liaison. He said, I have to

383
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:26,319
stop you or and a liaison. I don't think that's

384
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,960
prepotente right, because that's a crawler so this is somebody

385
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,680
else that's like in the mix. Now. I don't know

386
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:38,799
if I'm supposed to recognize them, but this is what

387
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,200
I think they had mentioned earlier when somebody said cap

388
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,240
and there was like a it was cut off. It

389
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:49,079
was going to be that they were going to say

390
00:26:49,079 --> 00:26:53,240
Caprin and that was I think it was Chris that

391
00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:59,200
was trying to talk to Karl at the time. So sorry,

392
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,279
Sarah FM. No, it's someone on the same level as

393
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:09,000
the guy who interviewed Carl over killing Loita. Okay, gotcha?

394
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:18,680
So interesting. I am curious exactly Like obviously this cheating

395
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:22,680
blackmailing her into targeting a specific crawler, the fact that

396
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,160
she does say this out loud is I'm curious if

397
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,559
this is going to have any real consequences or not,

398
00:27:28,839 --> 00:27:33,200
you know, because I just don't fully know what this

399
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,200
show looks like when people are watching. Are they watching

400
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,519
in real time or are they able to edit that

401
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,000
whole thing out? I don't know obviously when they run

402
00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:47,599
the highlights, that won't be in there. But is it

403
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,200
possible for people to have heard it and be spreading

404
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:56,839
the word about it as we speak? And if so, like,

405
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,480
how much will it matter be because everybody seems to

406
00:28:01,559 --> 00:28:05,759
know cheating happens, So it's one of those things where

407
00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:11,160
everybody can be upset by it, and that doesn't mean

408
00:28:11,599 --> 00:28:19,599
anybody stops them. It doesn't matter necessarily, so anyway, and

409
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,000
the fact that Carl says like this is happening to

410
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:25,359
all of us, I really appreciated because she's really acting

411
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,680
like my pain is the only pain. And I fully

412
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,759
acknowledge that I'm not exactly selfless and able to be

413
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,119
like I would not place my own pain above the

414
00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:42,960
pain of others, because we do every day, like that's

415
00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:45,680
just the way that it works a lot of the time.

416
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:52,319
But I like to think that I wouldn't be able

417
00:28:52,839 --> 00:28:57,519
to put somebody else through a thing because I'm trying

418
00:28:57,599 --> 00:29:05,279
to keep myself from being emotionally hurt. It's not I

419
00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:09,880
am stopping myself from being killed by killing you where

420
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,680
it could be seen as purely defense of my life.

421
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,319
This is like they're going to do something to one

422
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:22,480
of my kids within the game, where that is hideous

423
00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:30,359
and cruel, but also they're gone, you know, like I don't.

424
00:29:31,519 --> 00:29:34,359
Everybody has somebody that can be used against them, and

425
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:37,240
I feel like there has to be a point where

426
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:43,599
you like realize that every time they do this, they

427
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,960
are exerting a kind of power that you have to

428
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:50,200
take back and make a choice. And Maggie is just

429
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:54,480
I think that she is seeing this as her one

430
00:29:54,599 --> 00:29:58,240
last chance to like protect a kid after not being

431
00:29:58,319 --> 00:30:02,039
able to protect the other. So it's hitting her in

432
00:30:02,079 --> 00:30:06,880
a particularly vulnerable place, and I actually do have sympathy

433
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:12,079
for that, but it is very self absorbed, if that

434
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:19,839
makes sense. So anyway, this whole thing with her climbing

435
00:30:19,839 --> 00:30:26,039
into Carl's body, he manages to get her out, thank god,

436
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,480
before she is able to because I was like, oh my god,

437
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,559
are we about to see a Carl that's like possessed?

438
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,480
What is going to happen? But when she comes out

439
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,039
of his body, I was sort of like, oh, is

440
00:30:38,079 --> 00:30:41,640
she going to take somebody else over? And Mango just

441
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:45,319
eats her. He eats her and pukes her up again

442
00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:48,559
and then eats her again, which I appreciated because this

443
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,160
indicates very much that she is dead. If he had

444
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,240
just swallowed her, it would be like, maybe he's possessed now,

445
00:30:55,319 --> 00:31:00,599
but it feels pretty solidly like no, she's in pieces,

446
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:06,039
she's dead. That's not doing anything, and they're also able

447
00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:11,359
to loot her, which absolute indicator that she's really dead,

448
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:16,920
and she had a lot of stuff apparently, which Donut

449
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,920
is like she had a bunch of hats, and I

450
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,160
think I should get to keep the hats because he

451
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,640
wants her to give everything over to Chris. They'll have

452
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,160
to discuss that. They'll figure that out. And poor Chris

453
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,839
is like only just able now to really grieve his brother,

454
00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:40,599
so he's having a pretty hard time, and I really

455
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,119
felt for him, especially all things considered, I wouldn't be

456
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,880
surprised if, like they use his brother somehow later in

457
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,000
the game as well. Why wouldn't they. I don't know

458
00:31:50,039 --> 00:31:51,839
what kind of state he's in. I don't know what

459
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,839
the limitations are on how fucked up somebody is that

460
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,480
they can actually bring back. I don't know how this works,

461
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,799
but I have to assume they can do kind of anything.

462
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:08,680
So this is when Carl is talking to Juice Box.

463
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:11,200
Plan has changed. You need to go. The gate will

464
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,319
be open in a few moments, but it'll only be

465
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:16,519
open twenty minutes. Don't worry about bringing anything with you.

466
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:19,039
We're not sending a god to the ninth floor. We're

467
00:32:19,119 --> 00:32:21,160
keeping the gate. This isn't going to be a one

468
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,839
time thing. I still want you to go to Lrocco's.

469
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,759
You need to stay hidden, but tell the others what

470
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:28,200
you know. We're not done with you yet. By the

471
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,640
time we get there, I want all the survivors to

472
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:36,799
know what they really are. And she's like, wait, where's

473
00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:40,240
the gate? And he's like, go out over the water,

474
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,279
and in a few minutes it'll be very obvious where

475
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:46,359
the gate is. You can turn into a shark, right

476
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,079
And I wasn't getting it still, because like Lukie, why

477
00:32:51,119 --> 00:32:54,160
would I. I'm really curious if any of you were

478
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,039
like figuring it out at this point, because I just wasn't.

479
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,440
I wasn't even really trying, honestly, because I just accepted

480
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,200
I don't have enough information to put this together. More

481
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:14,039
than likely, you know. So let's see, gotcha, the gate

482
00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:17,079
is opened. Those timed charges you made got sucked in.

483
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:20,440
I dropped the chum bomb nearby just before, and it

484
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,480
worked really well. The sharks are also slurping right in

485
00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:28,079
and they're already in their feeding frenzy. Hopefully the bombs

486
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:30,599
went off before the sharks got there. I guess it

487
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,880
doesn't really matter. Some of those pain amplified jellies are

488
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,440
getting pulled in too. So this has me more puzzled

489
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,720
because at first I'm like, are there people that were

490
00:33:39,799 --> 00:33:43,279
hidden underwater that they didn't you know? And then they're

491
00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:45,400
talking about like sharks getting pulled in and stuff, and

492
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,559
I'm like, you want the monsters to get pulled through?

493
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:58,880
Like I was just I really wasn't fucking getting it.

494
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,920
It was going to be tough for Katcha to move

495
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,240
through the water with the pull of the current draining

496
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:06,680
into the lowest level of the city of Laraccos, but

497
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:09,639
she'd anchored herself to the rocky wall of the temple.

498
00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:13,039
She was going to use the subterranean stairwell to exit,

499
00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:15,280
as there was an entrance right there near the shelf

500
00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:18,199
where the Akula had been parked. This was the most

501
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,719
dangerous part for her, and I was worried, but she

502
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,079
insisted she'd be able to do it no problem. For

503
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,079
the next twenty minutes, the inverted cone of the city

504
00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:30,760
of Larracos would be filled with a rush of water.

505
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,159
The gate opened right inside the faction market. There there

506
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,719
was probably a drainage system, but it would be temporarily overwhelmed.

507
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,400
The bombs would explode moments after they arrived, leveling the

508
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,599
market and scattering the shoppers and shopkeepers, and then the

509
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:51,239
sharks would come. If Kocha's math was correct and the

510
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,039
map she'd made was accurate, more than half of the

511
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:56,760
city would be submerged by the time the gate closed.

512
00:34:57,079 --> 00:34:59,719
The only parts that would be spared were the upper levels,

513
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,960
the NPC residences. The onslaught of water and bombs and

514
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,920
sharks and other mobs would be sudden, violent, destructive, and

515
00:35:09,079 --> 00:35:13,920
nowhere near where they thought it would be. I was

516
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:19,519
so delighted, and you know, he gives Juice Box these

517
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:24,360
instructions really quickly. I am not sure that she's understanding

518
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:28,079
by the time this all happens, like really what he's doing.

519
00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:30,360
She's agreeing to do what he says, but she doesn't

520
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,559
have the context because he can't tell her yet. And

521
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,320
he can just tell her we're not doing the one thing,

522
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,639
but he doesn't tell her what they are doing. So

523
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,519
I am just imagining the moment where she realizes he's

524
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,360
not just going to be killing NPCs, like they will die.

525
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,400
There will be NPCs that are casualties here, but like

526
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,719
the NPC residence is being the one thing that isn't

527
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:01,280
touched is it's just really kind of a cherry on top.

528
00:36:01,639 --> 00:36:10,079
You know. I really really enjoy this a lot. It's great. Sorry,

529
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:12,239
Michael was saying, I'm one hundred percent sure Chris would

530
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,760
happily give Donut all the hats she wants, absolutely, especially

531
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,360
considering they're worth like one gold. At this point, Saraphim says,

532
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,760
I think it's a thing they can just use anyone

533
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,199
caught up in the collapse as raw materials. Michael says,

534
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,480
I don't think they can use dead crawlers. They're just

535
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,000
allowed to use their stored resources that were crushed in

536
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:35,280
the initial action. I wonder, and then he says, I

537
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,079
wasn't trying to suss out any plans at this point.

538
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:39,000
I was just along for the ride, and that's kind

539
00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:41,480
of where I was at this point. Michael rob says,

540
00:36:41,519 --> 00:36:43,679
I noticed the thing about water being sucked in earlier

541
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,960
when Carl first used the gate, but didn't put two

542
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,440
and two together. Yeah, honestly, it is a really good

543
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,239
clue to see all of that water and the intensity

544
00:36:54,719 --> 00:37:02,079
of the destruction in just that second. But I was

545
00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:05,039
just so certain that whatever you do, you're going to

546
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:07,920
get pulled through, you know what I mean. I didn't

547
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,400
think that there were methods by which you can open

548
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,400
the gate and not get yanked through it. So I

549
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:19,000
just didn't really consider because, like my theory had been,

550
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,840
we're going to give this over to the NPCs and

551
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:27,360
they'll use it, but we can't be anywhere near it

552
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,119
because we'll get sucked through too, and then we'll be

553
00:37:29,199 --> 00:37:32,840
killed because we're not allowed to go anyway. So this

554
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,239
is when Zev chimes in and it's like, oh, they

555
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,840
are pissed. This isn't what you promised, and Carl is like,

556
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:48,719
I didn't promise anything. If you fill Moroccos with modern mobs,

557
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,199
it's going to kill all the NPCs. The markets will

558
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,079
be flooded, the mercenaries will be killed. If you kill

559
00:37:54,119 --> 00:37:57,039
the NPCs at the entrance bar, access to the Desperado

560
00:37:57,079 --> 00:38:00,000
Club will be shut off. The sponsors won't have any

561
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,519
to the club to gamble. They won't be able to

562
00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:05,159
get to the markets where they can buy magical gear.

563
00:38:05,639 --> 00:38:09,039
Borne depends on that money. Sponsors need that market to

564
00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:13,239
outfit their troops. Oh, I'm sure they'll patch it. The

565
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,920
water will drain right out. It might take a few

566
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,639
days since there's some sharks mixed in. But I'm sure

567
00:38:18,679 --> 00:38:23,199
it'll be fine. No, Carl, you know this. We can't

568
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,079
add new worker NPCs once the level is created. Mobs, yes,

569
00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:30,119
but NPCs that's written to the rules. We can't just

570
00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:33,079
replace the shopkeepers. The food market for the troops was

571
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:36,119
down there too, And again that was another hint, that

572
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,559
entry about killing a shopkeeper and that they don't get

573
00:38:38,599 --> 00:38:40,719
replaced and you don't get access to their loot from

574
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,079
their body. But again I wasn't seeing the relevance. I

575
00:38:44,119 --> 00:38:46,400
was just sort of like, Okay, that's interesting information, and

576
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,159
I'm expecting whatever that is to be what happens, like

577
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,039
something relevant within that chapter, but it doesn't, and then

578
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:57,320
I kind of forget about it. But it's all the

579
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:02,199
hints for this, and Zev continues, if they want to

580
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,480
fix this, they'll have to get the syndicate to vote,

581
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,440
and they won't have the votes, and even if they did,

582
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,079
they'll have to get the AI on board, and that's

583
00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:14,119
not going to happen. The whole system is already spiraling,

584
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:17,880
and it's the earliest this has ever happened. They keep

585
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,159
talking about the AI and losing it, and I am

586
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,559
so curious about why exactly this is happening, Like I

587
00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:28,960
am assuming a lot of it is because they're accelerating

588
00:39:29,039 --> 00:39:31,360
the game the way they have been, and so it's

589
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,320
resulting in the AI madness being accelerated also, But I

590
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,440
don't know if that's it. It might be like there's

591
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:43,760
some other factors in there. I'd killed people today, innocent people,

592
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,239
a lot of innocent people, but they were all in PCs,

593
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,480
and none of them were former crawlers, and that's what

594
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:52,519
mattered to me. Former crawlers with contracts like Mordecai were valuable.

595
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,320
They didn't waste them in a city that was raised

596
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,519
every season. Still, there was no sugarcoating what I'd done.

597
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,760
We didn't have time for moral debates. I was doing

598
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,280
them a favor. And while the emotional abuse of NPCs

599
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,599
such as Little Bonnie had been enough to nearly break

600
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:10,559
my sense of resolve, the knowledge that I'd just saved

601
00:40:10,599 --> 00:40:13,440
those NPCs the horror of having to endure a bloody

602
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,239
conflict that would end in their inevitable deaths anyway, was

603
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,519
enough to ease any concern at what I'd done. And

604
00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:24,280
I could see some people looking at this as like

605
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:29,920
a rationalization, But I agree with him. They're literally just fodder.

606
00:40:31,639 --> 00:40:33,880
Good take them away. They are a weapon that the

607
00:40:34,039 --> 00:40:38,119
enemy is using. They are innocents, but they weren't going

608
00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:42,360
to be treated better than what you're doing, so you're

609
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:47,400
just cutting to the chase. Really, a distant part of

610
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,760
me was alarmed at this attitude, But this was war,

611
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:54,920
and there was no use pretending like it wasn't. Zev

612
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:59,239
continued to breathlessly rant. It was finally dawning on me

613
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,320
that her astonishment and outrage was actually an act, and

614
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,000
what she really was doing was relaying crucial information to us.

615
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:12,039
She was practically giddy and was barely containing it. She

616
00:41:12,199 --> 00:41:16,400
and Dona were talking somehow, likely via the social media board,

617
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:18,760
but I didn't dare ask, not even using the magical

618
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,039
paper we had hanging in the bathroom. And I am

619
00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:26,519
going to guess Zev has some username and she's just

620
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:29,519
like in there pretending to be a regular social media

621
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,079
user and drop some hints that got Donah understanding who

622
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:38,320
she really was, And that's how they're communicating, that's my guess,

623
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,400
and that's why Donah is on the board so much.

624
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,199
Because Karl was expressing some concern about her maybe getting

625
00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:48,519
a little bit too preoccupied with that, but this would

626
00:41:48,519 --> 00:41:51,199
make sense, and that's why she's in there, like in

627
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,840
the room, talking as often as she is, because there's

628
00:41:54,880 --> 00:42:01,039
actually a person she personally cares about in there. Born's

629
00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:04,280
outrage at what had really happened was testament to the

630
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,519
idea they hadn't caught on to our method of communication.

631
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,239
I'd been half certain they'd known what Donut Katcha and

632
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,599
I had been meticulously planning, and again, really really nice

633
00:42:15,639 --> 00:42:17,440
like this. I knew that they had to be planning

634
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,280
something they didn't want the others to know about. But

635
00:42:20,599 --> 00:42:25,480
it is very reassuring to see that this method worked.

636
00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:32,119
It's very very smart. Sorry, I'm just seeing, Rob says.

637
00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:34,599
You also asked earlier if you would think differently about

638
00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:37,119
the plotting after finishing the book, and I can say

639
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:39,199
now that the reread is so good because there are

640
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,480
tons of tiny hints. That's kind of what I was thinking.

641
00:42:42,599 --> 00:42:45,519
Rob was like, I am wondering if there's something at

642
00:42:45,519 --> 00:42:48,039
the end of this that makes the rest of it

643
00:42:48,199 --> 00:42:52,760
work a lot better. And I would argue, I don't

644
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:59,079
think it's a good idea to sometimes sacrifice the first

645
00:42:59,199 --> 00:43:03,800
read to make this second read better, not that that's

646
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,920
necessarily done on purpose, but you get what I'm saying. However,

647
00:43:08,039 --> 00:43:13,079
I get I understand, you know, and I feel like

648
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,480
I have a better feeling towards this book overall, now

649
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,599
that we've gotten here. I just wish there is enough

650
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,320
early on that I do think could be culled from

651
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,119
the overall story. I really like looking back there, there

652
00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:32,000
seems to be things that I'm sort of like, we

653
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,079
did we really mean X Y Z though, and maybe

654
00:43:36,119 --> 00:43:38,760
it'll turn out later that we did for this thing.

655
00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:42,880
But based on what you guys have said, it seems

656
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:48,639
like Matt Denneman doesn't plan everything ahead, So I don't know.

657
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,400
I don't know how much he plans ahead. He's got

658
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:55,000
to be planning somewhat ahead a little. But yeah, I

659
00:43:55,480 --> 00:44:00,800
think that it could still use editing, but I understand

660
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:08,840
more what was happening here. So I'm sorry Brett XX

661
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:13,519
Underscore ivy underscore, not ZEV underscore suffer off for twenty

662
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:20,079
underscore XX that's the useer name. I love it. So

663
00:44:22,039 --> 00:44:24,199
let's see. Carl says, I'm adding Chris to the party,

664
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,239
so he travels with us. See you on the other side,

665
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:31,519
Kotcha good job today, and I love that, like Kotya

666
00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:34,800
is the instrument by which they got this done. There.

667
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,360
You know, I think it's good for her to separate out,

668
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:40,199
but I am looking forward to maybe seeing her around.

669
00:44:41,199 --> 00:44:43,920
And Zev, let's see, half of them had their armies

670
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,679
hidden in the city so they wouldn't get hurt by

671
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,280
the God. I'm sure plenty will get out. But you

672
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,360
don't know what you've done. You've killed thousands, tens of thousands.

673
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,400
Who knows what the playing field is going to look

674
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,159
like when it settles. Carl says, I'm sure it'll be

675
00:44:56,199 --> 00:45:01,960
wonderful for ratings, and Zev says they'll be consequences. Carl, probably,

676
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,280
But tell them they approved this, We didn't cheat, We

677
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,000
used the tools they gave us. Also say they're gonna

678
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,639
want to wait and see what happens next before they

679
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:15,960
decide to, you know, accelerate me or throw me in

680
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,159
the disposal unit or whatever. I know they're in real

681
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,079
danger of losing control of the season. Whoever ends up

682
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:24,599
in control of the next floor is going to make

683
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,519
a lot of money. Zev, what do you mean, Carl,

684
00:45:30,199 --> 00:45:36,199
just watch and uh, yeah, I want to know. Also,

685
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,679
and I'm not going to really try and figure it out.

686
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:44,159
I'm just gonna let it roll. So this is when

687
00:45:44,159 --> 00:45:47,039
Mordecai chimes in and is like, you need to get

688
00:45:47,159 --> 00:45:50,199
rid of that fucking ring. I don't think you understand

689
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,960
exactly what's happening. You were making the money and they

690
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,440
were letting you get away with shit, but you just

691
00:45:55,519 --> 00:45:58,880
cost them so much. And Carlo says, I got my

692
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,360
sponsor to purchase that box, and I think they got

693
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,480
a deity sponsorship that has to be worth a lot. Mordecai,

694
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,559
you can't fight a war like this and expect to win. Donut.

695
00:46:10,199 --> 00:46:12,480
Don't be mean to Karl. Mordecai. He didn't do it alone.

696
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,320
We're all in this together. And I really love that.

697
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,679
Carl is like, I won't say he's like touched by

698
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,440
it exactly, but he's just like, yeah, I'm not alone.

699
00:46:24,639 --> 00:46:30,880
This is nice, you know. Made for Crawler Carl by

700
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:39,119
the Open Intellect Pacifist Action Network Intergalactic NFC, with design

701
00:46:39,199 --> 00:46:45,000
approved by CEO and President of Outreach Operations, Doctor P. Hugh,

702
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,199
which I definitely thought was a joke until we see

703
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,679
an actual doctor Hugh later, but I thought it was

704
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,559
like pu you know what I mean. I thought it

705
00:46:52,599 --> 00:46:58,039
was like a joke. Name also Open Intellect Pacifist Action Network.

706
00:46:58,039 --> 00:46:59,960
I was trying to be like, is that an acronym

707
00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:05,360
that I should be? Oh, oipan oipan. No, that's nothing.

708
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,679
I don't know. I feel like there's a message in

709
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:13,800
there somehow, but I'm missing it. So let's see, Carl.

710
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,000
They're gonna want everything we have, not just the ring,

711
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:21,000
but the gate too. Can you imagine how powerful that'll

712
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,079
be on the battlefield. There's two different marketplaces. There's the

713
00:47:24,119 --> 00:47:26,480
Desperado Club market where the hunters sell their wares, and

714
00:47:26,519 --> 00:47:29,280
there's the online one where the crawlers sell using the kiosk.

715
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,519
The kiosk ones are trashed. Crawlers use the interface, but

716
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:35,760
the faction war guys have to actually go to a

717
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,320
merchant and buy it. We just killed all those merchants,

718
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,239
so no more buying from crawlers. So they're going to

719
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:48,639
be after their stuff extra and he says the Desperado

720
00:47:48,679 --> 00:47:50,360
Club will be closed for a while. But what I'm

721
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,880
guessing is gonna happen is each of the factions are

722
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,159
quickly deciding whether or not to send someone down to

723
00:47:55,199 --> 00:47:58,519
the sixth floor. To collect stuff manually and buy stuff

724
00:47:58,519 --> 00:48:01,800
from the other hunters while they there. We didn't wipe

725
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,920
out all the armies, but we wiped out most of

726
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,800
their ability to get more gear, and we upset the

727
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,599
power structure. They're scrambling now wondering how they're going to

728
00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:14,199
outfit their soldiers. There's only one feasible way. Either they

729
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,760
don't outfit them, or they risk sending their own people

730
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,239
down to the sixth floor. I could be wrong, but

731
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,800
I suspect it's going to be crowded down there, so

732
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,599
we're just going to have more hunters. Donut have you

733
00:48:26,639 --> 00:48:33,000
ever heard the term seeding the pond? Now, Seating the

734
00:48:33,079 --> 00:48:40,440
pond is when you put fish in to catch them, right, like,

735
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,280
you make sure that there is something to catch. So

736
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:50,960
I guess that's what he's saying for themselves. The kill

737
00:48:51,039 --> 00:48:54,239
kill Kill lady said, the hunters can also collect bounties,

738
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,159
and you're worth a lot. Now everyone is coming after us.

739
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:03,199
That's what I'm hoping for. So why is he hoping

740
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,199
for it? Like, exactly what is he got up his sleeve?

741
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:12,920
He clearly believes that whatever it is he's planning is

742
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,719
going to work, and seems super confident, but I don't know.

743
00:49:19,639 --> 00:49:26,039
He is now number one. Lucimmar is number two Prepotente three.

744
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,719
Donut is four. She's drucked behind him considerably because she's

745
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,039
only level thirty nine. He's forty seven. Lucymr Is forty eight,

746
00:49:34,119 --> 00:49:42,760
Prepotente's fifty five. Miriam is level fifty two. Yeah, so

747
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,639
let's see who's the lowest here. She's Donut's the lowest

748
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,440
on the leaderboard. The only other person that comes close

749
00:49:49,519 --> 00:49:54,199
is Eva, who is on there and she's level forty.

750
00:49:54,440 --> 00:50:01,119
So don't like seeing her name up there. Once the

751
00:50:01,159 --> 00:50:03,440
sixth floor opens, will all be locked in together. They'll

752
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,559
be just as trapped as we are. I tossed the

753
00:50:05,599 --> 00:50:07,599
ring in the air and I caught it. I looked

754
00:50:07,679 --> 00:50:10,559
up into the sky, ending all pretense that I was

755
00:50:10,599 --> 00:50:13,719
actually saying this to just Donut. You guys, see this thing.

756
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,719
I'll tell you what. If you want it, it's yours.

757
00:50:17,159 --> 00:50:22,000
It's right here, Come and get it, motherfuckers. Actually, you

758
00:50:22,039 --> 00:50:23,960
know what, I have a better idea. No need to

759
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,599
come to me, because I'll be coming to you. That's

760
00:50:26,639 --> 00:50:29,199
my pledge to you and to everyone else watching this.

761
00:50:29,679 --> 00:50:32,800
By the time the sixth floor collapses, every single hunter

762
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,360
who dares to set foot on the same floor as

763
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,000
us will be dead. This I swear on my life,

764
00:50:39,639 --> 00:50:44,960
one by one, I will break you. I will break

765
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:49,360
you all. And that's the end of the book, except

766
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:55,679
for the epilogue, which is pretty intense. God damn. So

767
00:50:55,840 --> 00:51:00,079
this is when we go to a woman talking to

768
00:51:00,119 --> 00:51:02,719
doctor Hugh and asking how much money we spent and

769
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:08,239
him saying, I think you don't want to know. He's unstable.

770
00:51:08,519 --> 00:51:10,440
He's gonna die any moment, and even if he doesn't,

771
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:15,519
the Ai is going primal, going primal, that's his race.

772
00:51:16,119 --> 00:51:20,440
So why does she think that? What does that mean?

773
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,280
The valte are sticking their nose into everything, The Kuatine

774
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,400
underground are going to start a bloody civil war any

775
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,119
day now. King Rust's children are all trying to murder

776
00:51:31,159 --> 00:51:33,719
each other, and Princess Dinadi is probably gonna do something

777
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,199
stupid too. Plus this human is not nearly as clever

778
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,400
as you think he is. You should have included instructions

779
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,800
with the yam. They wasted half of it on saving

780
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,159
that other crawler. He knows what it's really for, does he.

781
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:52,199
I'm not so sure, my dear. He's already shaken everything up.

782
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,760
Even if he fails, it's already a success. Every time

783
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,559
he goes on that odette woman's show. Now more people

784
00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:03,519
sign up for the cause. They sign up for his cause,

785
00:52:03,679 --> 00:52:09,719
not ours. It's the same cause. He's going to die. Porthos,

786
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,880
He's never going to make it past the sixth floor.

787
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,280
That's what you said about the fifth floor. Doctor Hugh said,

788
00:52:17,079 --> 00:52:24,159
hmm hmmm. So what does that mean? What does the

789
00:52:24,159 --> 00:52:28,480
ai going primal mean? And how can she tell it's

790
00:52:28,599 --> 00:52:34,639
going primal? Like, what's the what are the symptoms? So

791
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:40,519
to speak? Sorry, I'm just seeing Brett Prepotente killed the

792
00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:43,800
paral turkey God right? Good eating? Yeah, apparently it smelled

793
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,679
like roasting turkey for a minute there. Seraphim says. The

794
00:52:48,679 --> 00:52:51,920
Primals are a mythical progenitor race everyone has stories about. Right,

795
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,639
So you'd heard the name Porthos before this section? At

796
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:03,320
that I heard the name you mean this section of

797
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,719
chapters that I just covered, or do you mean Porthos

798
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:17,039
was mentioned in this book in this section of chapters? Sorry?

799
00:53:17,079 --> 00:53:19,079
When I ask, when I give you two options and

800
00:53:19,119 --> 00:53:21,480
you just say yes, I do not know which one

801
00:53:21,519 --> 00:53:25,519
you're saying yes to both? You said the name already

802
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:32,519
earlier this stream. I don't remember I remember saying Porthos.

803
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,199
I don't remember, though, the quote from the start of

804
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:41,920
the chapter is by Porthos. Oh shit, So he didn't

805
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,519
go crazy after all? Well, I mean he might have,

806
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:48,079
but like, apparently he got it together. Do you know?

807
00:53:48,199 --> 00:53:52,039
It's funny because I was sort of thinking I wouldn't

808
00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:54,159
be surprised if there are some folks that are like

809
00:53:55,079 --> 00:53:58,000
people who got out, that are funding this. But I

810
00:53:58,159 --> 00:54:01,400
genuinely I don't know about of anybody who has really

811
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,360
gotten out or how they can. Like, for all I know,

812
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:09,199
Porthos is still under contract so to speak, like the

813
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:13,320
way that Mordecai is, So I don't know how separate

814
00:54:14,519 --> 00:54:20,159
they are allowed to be or how that all works.

815
00:54:21,039 --> 00:54:25,320
But okay, I appreciate that being pointed out, because like

816
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,239
his name was ringing a bell, but it was very much, ah,

817
00:54:30,039 --> 00:54:33,239
you know, very faint bell. I have a lot of

818
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,679
names to keep track of, not just in this, but

819
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,320
I have many properties that I'm covering at the same time,

820
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:47,519
and names often fall by the wayside. So let's go

821
00:54:47,639 --> 00:54:54,320
into this whole thing with the uh bounty hunters so

822
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,960
to speak. It turns out that even though the humans

823
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,239
that didn't go into the dungeon are technically supposed to

824
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:09,880
be off limits, they aren't really. They hire third parties

825
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:15,000
to find people that are significant to high level or

826
00:55:15,119 --> 00:55:21,239
high name players. The Syndicate knew about the walk on list,

827
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,880
of course, they knew. There was even a hollow drama

828
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,559
up at it. A few seasons back, wrights organizations crowed

829
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:30,280
about it. They wrote bills and sub committees demanding the

830
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,800
practice be officially condemned. Nothing ever happened. Syndicate security still

831
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,239
patrolled the planets, They still hunted down and captured and

832
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,800
sometimes killed trespassers. But the corporations, who were the real culprits,

833
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:47,000
there was no accountability, none, bastards, all of them, se

834
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,679
dear thought bitterly. Some of these worlds had guaranteed income

835
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,199
just for being lucky enough to be born on the planet,

836
00:55:53,519 --> 00:55:56,159
and here he was literally risking his life in freedom

837
00:55:56,199 --> 00:56:00,880
to make a living. And later on Genrick, who's the

838
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,119
other alien that he's working with, is like, why are

839
00:56:04,159 --> 00:56:08,440
you doing this? You clearly are not in agreement with

840
00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:15,559
what's happening to these people, And Sadir feels very targeted

841
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,440
and is like defensive about it, but it's also like,

842
00:56:19,159 --> 00:56:22,679
I don't get to choose what I do to fucking live.

843
00:56:23,159 --> 00:56:25,559
I have a bunch of kids to feed, and I'm

844
00:56:25,599 --> 00:56:28,320
not allowed to work in a lot of different fields

845
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,840
because there is prejudice against my race of alien and

846
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,639
Genrick tries to be like, there's no prejudice against you, guys,

847
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,400
which is just very much giving, like why are you

848
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:44,280
gotta make it about race all the time? It's a

849
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:54,320
totally fair system based solely on merit, of course, So

850
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:03,079
what they're looking for initially is a cat named gravy Boat,

851
00:57:03,519 --> 00:57:09,599
who it turns out is with B. I was wondering

852
00:57:09,639 --> 00:57:12,599
if we were heading into like hints that B was alive,

853
00:57:13,039 --> 00:57:17,679
but I really didn't expect to see her specifically. And

854
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,880
the way this all happens is so weird, because you

855
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,280
know them searching for gravy Boat, I'm already like, oh,

856
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,000
I don't like that, because obviously they are trying to

857
00:57:27,119 --> 00:57:32,719
find somebody that Donut cares about, specifically to use against her.

858
00:57:34,079 --> 00:57:38,679
But B is somebody to use against Donut and potentially Carl,

859
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:42,159
and I don't like that at all, and I don't

860
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,079
like B, but I don't want whatever they're about to

861
00:57:45,079 --> 00:57:46,840
do to happen, like I don't know what this is

862
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:54,599
going to look like. And there's a mention of like

863
00:57:54,800 --> 00:58:00,400
a family that was, uh, we're all like every single

864
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:05,559
one of that crawler's kids was used as a guard

865
00:58:05,679 --> 00:58:08,960
of a certain doorway, and when that crawler got there

866
00:58:09,159 --> 00:58:11,840
and saw like even the one that was like less

867
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,440
than a year old, they had been modulated somehow and

868
00:58:16,599 --> 00:58:21,840
made into where is it? Who could forget that Valta

869
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,519
season were crawler Whoon piloted his mech to the elevator

870
00:58:24,599 --> 00:58:26,480
leading to the twelfth folo Or, only to find his

871
00:58:26,519 --> 00:58:30,760
own children repurposed a sentinel hunter killers guarding the exit,

872
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,559
all five of them, even the yearling Whoon had chosen

873
00:58:34,639 --> 00:58:36,840
to eat his own gun. It was one of the

874
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,400
few times the cruelty of the game had been too much,

875
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:43,119
even for the free citizens. Sadir felt a shiver come

876
00:58:43,159 --> 00:58:46,159
over him, remembering that moment. They'd banned the use of

877
00:58:46,199 --> 00:58:54,320
collected children after that, pregnant women too, and this being

878
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:59,280
like what he hates but also what he is helping

879
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:05,039
to support is so real. It's so real. You cannot help.

880
00:59:05,079 --> 00:59:08,639
If you are at the bottom of the fucking hierarchy,

881
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:12,679
you cannot help but work for the monsters. There's fucking

882
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:19,679
no options, you know, like it doesn't matter what you

883
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:25,039
do because they own everything. So other than finding a

884
00:59:25,039 --> 00:59:29,679
way to work solely for yourself like I managed to do,

885
00:59:29,719 --> 00:59:33,559
which was I'm incredibly lucky, and I'm barely surviving by

886
00:59:33,599 --> 00:59:37,079
the way, like I am not paying my bills. So

887
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,119
it's not like I'm a success story necessarily. I'm just

888
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:46,360
very fucking stubborn. But it's like we just try and

889
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:53,360
act like you need to uphold your principles in every

890
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,000
area of your life, and it's like, if you can

891
00:59:56,119 --> 00:59:59,599
afford to do that, good for you. But we're not

892
00:59:59,679 --> 01:00:04,000
all in that fucking position, man. And that's what makes

893
01:00:04,039 --> 01:00:06,920
it so toxic, is that then you like have this

894
01:00:07,039 --> 01:00:11,199
weird guilt around the fact that you're helping. Talking about

895
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:15,000
Rashaun working for a bank again, like there are very

896
01:00:15,639 --> 01:00:19,039
very powerful people whose bank accounts she gets to personally

897
01:00:19,159 --> 01:00:23,320
see and has information on and whatnot, and so she

898
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:28,440
gets to be reminded firsthand that what she does helps

899
01:00:28,519 --> 01:00:34,880
make rich people richer, monstrous people richer, and she fucking

900
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,119
just has to live with that every day because she

901
01:00:38,239 --> 01:00:40,559
needs this job, she needs the health insurance. She has

902
01:00:40,559 --> 01:00:44,199
a husband who's like partially disabled, and yes, the health

903
01:00:44,239 --> 01:00:48,719
insurance may cost seven hundred dollars a month, but they

904
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,440
wouldn't be able to get it at all if it

905
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,800
weren't for her job, so you know, So yeah, this

906
01:00:54,920 --> 01:01:02,719
is just it's like fucking gross. But also so then

907
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:07,960
we have the slow reveal that they are in Seattle

908
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,480
at this moment, which one could have guessed at them

909
01:01:11,559 --> 01:01:13,079
looking for gravy boat, but they might have been in

910
01:01:13,079 --> 01:01:18,159
the entire wrong place, you never know. And then they

911
01:01:18,519 --> 01:01:25,159
we jump into another POV. Brad's the guy whose lap

912
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,400
B was sitting in in that photo, her ex and

913
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:36,480
he is looking at B who apparently B is not okay.

914
01:01:40,679 --> 01:01:43,400
She cried herself to sleep again. The others were getting

915
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,920
pretty annoyed with her. Everyone had to work. That was

916
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,320
a rule. If you wanted to live in New Queen Ann,

917
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,760
you had to work. Everyone was afraid and overwhelmed, but

918
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:57,119
they still worked. That meant fishing, foraging, tilling, or building.

919
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,719
B did none of those. Ostensibly, she was a nurse

920
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,119
and she would work if someone needed healing, but that

921
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,440
was a joke. They had four doctors already in their group.

922
01:02:08,039 --> 01:02:11,280
Actually all of them were dentists, and we get some

923
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:15,599
information about how like they had been on a plane

924
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,480
that ran late, and then they wind up outside this

925
01:02:18,599 --> 01:02:21,199
parking garage and so they're standing out in the open

926
01:02:22,039 --> 01:02:26,280
when and there's a guy there that is trying to

927
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,119
get them out from under the parking garage and he

928
01:02:29,119 --> 01:02:31,159
starts setting cars on fire. So there's some dude in

929
01:02:31,199 --> 01:02:33,800
the mix who I don't know if he's sort of

930
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:38,440
like an Agatha where he was a homeless person that

931
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:42,719
knew shit, or if he was just an alien who

932
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,320
was aware it was coming and was just came down

933
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,519
to the planet to try and warn them. He's speaking

934
01:02:48,519 --> 01:02:51,079
another language, but like that doesn't mean anything. I'm sure

935
01:02:51,079 --> 01:03:00,199
Agatha can fucking speak something weird too. And let's see. Uh,

936
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,079
he'd stayed with Bee. He regretted it. He used to

937
01:03:05,159 --> 01:03:08,360
make so much fun of her cook boyfriend. She walked

938
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,239
all over the dude and he didn't do shit. Brad

939
01:03:11,239 --> 01:03:13,880
had been moderately impressed when the guy had grown some

940
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,679
balls and finally dumped her after she posted the picture,

941
01:03:17,239 --> 01:03:20,920
but then Bee flipped the fuck out and demanded they

942
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,960
leave the resort early. They'd been paid up for another

943
01:03:24,079 --> 01:03:28,639
four days but she wouldn't stop crying. Her bitch friends

944
01:03:28,679 --> 01:03:30,800
pretty much pushed the two of them out of the suite,

945
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,280
so they went home. I should have stayed, he thought,

946
01:03:34,719 --> 01:03:36,280
if he was going to be stuck in an alien

947
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,119
invasion apocalypse, it would have at least been better weather.

948
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,360
But that wasn't his real regret. Oh no, I should

949
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:49,840
have gone into that dungeon. And he's thinking of this

950
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,360
as missing his chance at glory. And then I am

951
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:59,199
a king. I am a king. This is the dude

952
01:03:59,199 --> 01:04:01,800
who would stand in the mirror and flop his dick around.

953
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:08,119
I remember Donut talking about him, and later on Bro

954
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,320
is just crying like a baby apparently, which I'm not

955
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,000
saying kings don't do. Maybe he's just like a king perhaps,

956
01:04:15,559 --> 01:04:19,039
But the fact that he really thinks like I would

957
01:04:19,079 --> 01:04:23,440
have kilt it down there, my guy, it's about to

958
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:30,440
be very, very real. So yeah, he goes with b

959
01:04:30,639 --> 01:04:33,000
back to her building because she insists on seeing whether

960
01:04:33,119 --> 01:04:35,519
or not her cat is alive. Of course, there's nothing there,

961
01:04:35,559 --> 01:04:39,480
but they find gravy boat and she collects him and

962
01:04:39,519 --> 01:04:47,639
refuses to leave him there. And let's see at night,

963
01:04:47,679 --> 01:04:49,519
she'd sit there in the dark and hug the cat

964
01:04:49,599 --> 01:04:51,880
until it yowled and scratched at her to let it go.

965
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,559
She had cuts all up her arms and face from

966
01:04:55,599 --> 01:04:58,840
the monster. It eventually settled on the mattress next to her.

967
01:04:59,039 --> 01:05:01,599
She would stroke its yellow and orange fur and sing

968
01:05:01,719 --> 01:05:05,920
softly to the cat in that weird voice. Good boy,

969
01:05:06,239 --> 01:05:10,920
good boy, you're a good boy. For Dinand, you're no

970
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:16,239
gravy boat. Oh no, oh no, I'd take it all

971
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,599
back and let you in. I'd do it all over again.

972
01:05:20,119 --> 01:05:25,239
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for Dinand, I should

973
01:05:25,239 --> 01:05:29,360
have let you in. She'd sings some variant of that

974
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,159
bizarre song until she fell asleep. Brad envied her ability

975
01:05:33,159 --> 01:05:37,920
to sleep. And this is when people crawl in. They're

976
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:41,559
looking for the cat, but then they see b and

977
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:49,760
one of them gets killed right away. Uh. The gray

978
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,199
is the one that isn't But he's about to be

979
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,840
framed for this whole thing, so we get to see

980
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:58,599
firsthand that his suspicions about exactly how he is seen

981
01:05:58,679 --> 01:06:02,119
and treated are right. And not only that, but it's

982
01:06:02,119 --> 01:06:05,400
fucking Odette who is behind all of this, which is

983
01:06:06,119 --> 01:06:10,559
crazy gross. I knew Odette was not to be trusted,

984
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:15,000
and perhaps on the outside chance. Maybe there's something that

985
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,039
she's trying to do here that's for the good. But

986
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:21,599
it feels very gross through and through, so I have

987
01:06:21,679 --> 01:06:29,320
a hard time believing that. And when he the gray

988
01:06:29,559 --> 01:06:33,679
recognizes Beatrice, somebody else turns up and it's this woman

989
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:39,880
who is able to turn on a translator and says,

990
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,519
miss Beatrice, my name is Lexis. I apologize for the inconvenience,

991
01:06:43,559 --> 01:06:46,360
but Syndicate security is on its way. You are being hunted.

992
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:50,880
I am here to take you to safety. Now saying

993
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,599
that these that you are being taken to safety? Is

994
01:06:55,639 --> 01:06:59,360
that real or is that just what they're telling her?

995
01:07:00,719 --> 01:07:05,079
You know, Lexis. This is when she gets in touch

996
01:07:05,119 --> 01:07:10,599
with Odette. Kill the sack pirate captured another. I suggest

997
01:07:10,639 --> 01:07:12,320
we make it look like he turned on his partner,

998
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,719
shot him right in the back. He is a null,

999
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,079
so they'll buy it. Oh, I also had to shoot

1000
01:07:17,079 --> 01:07:19,920
a human be's partner. He's still alive. He tried to

1001
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,960
get to the pirates flushet. I'd call him brave, but

1002
01:07:23,079 --> 01:07:25,559
he's crying like a little girl. He's going to bleed

1003
01:07:25,599 --> 01:07:28,079
out in a few minutes if I don't intervene. What

1004
01:07:28,159 --> 01:07:30,880
about the cat, asked Odette, he's knocked out. With the

1005
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,000
rest of the settlement. The thing is fast, He's almost

1006
01:07:33,039 --> 01:07:36,119
got away. Security will arrive in three minutes. The first

1007
01:07:36,159 --> 01:07:38,679
responders are on our payroll, but a supervisor will want

1008
01:07:38,719 --> 01:07:40,159
to come down for this one. I'm guessing we have

1009
01:07:40,159 --> 01:07:42,840
twenty minutes at most. You want me to bring the cat. Also,

1010
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,119
I can wipe the whole town if you want any witnesses,

1011
01:07:46,599 --> 01:07:48,760
just the ones I mentioned, the Null, Beatrice, the human

1012
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,840
I shot, and the cat. Okay, here's what we do.

1013
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,320
We're not going to vaporize the town, leave the Null

1014
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,960
alive and plant the weapon like you suggested, but let

1015
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,920
the human expire. Put the cat in a bounty key

1016
01:08:00,239 --> 01:08:02,599
and leave him there. Shoot the Knull with the flesh

1017
01:08:02,599 --> 01:08:05,400
ec gun, maybe in the leg, then drop it on

1018
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,960
the human. We'll have our security guys clean the scene

1019
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,679
up so it looks like the whole fight was over

1020
01:08:09,719 --> 01:08:12,840
the cat and nothing else. The Null will talk. He'll

1021
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,880
be facing multiple charges. Don't worry about that. I'll get

1022
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:17,880
a message to him after he's arrested. We'll buy out

1023
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:22,600
his warrant. That'll guarantee his cooperation. The whole idea will

1024
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:26,199
leave the Null to take the rap and people will

1025
01:08:26,239 --> 01:08:29,239
believe it because he's a null. You know that sucks.

1026
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:33,800
But I mean she's it seems like she means well

1027
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,119
for him in the end, but in the meantime it's

1028
01:08:36,159 --> 01:08:42,319
just taking advantage of like the racism. How's Beatrice taking this?

1029
01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:45,840
I had to knock her out and then stick her

1030
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,720
in a cube. She's a little freaked out about the

1031
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,760
whole thing. I don't think she's all there. She has

1032
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,159
scratches all over her face when she wakes up. Make

1033
01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:55,079
sure you tell her I can't wait to meet her

1034
01:08:55,279 --> 01:08:58,159
and reassure her that we won't be selling her to Born.

1035
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,880
Tell her we have a much better use for her.

1036
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,520
Lexus laughed. So I guess it worked out for everybody,

1037
01:09:06,119 --> 01:09:09,600
well almost everybody. She thought of the poor cat and

1038
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,079
what they were going to do to him, She shuddered.

1039
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,439
Odette grunted. We can't all have happy endings. Now get

1040
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:23,800
to work. So what I'm getting is that basically Odette

1041
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,399
is swooping in and getting Bee out of there so

1042
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,880
that she can't be used against Carl, but that she

1043
01:09:30,239 --> 01:09:35,039
knows enough about what's going on down here, and so

1044
01:09:35,159 --> 01:09:37,239
maybe it is for the best. Maybe she is like

1045
01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:39,680
trying to do the right thing. It's hard to say

1046
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:41,520
because saying we have a much better use for her,

1047
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,920
like it sounds so sinister, you know. And they are

1048
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,640
leaving the cat, so he apparently is going to get

1049
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,520
made into some fucking monster or something, which is awful.

1050
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:56,000
I feel very bad for him. And they're letting Brad die,

1051
01:09:56,039 --> 01:10:00,359
which I just simply cannot be upset about because he sucks,

1052
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:05,520
so fuck you, and I'm over time. But I am

1053
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:10,479
just going to briefly mention the audio commercials that come

1054
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:15,199
after this for the training Ground thing, and it's also

1055
01:10:15,359 --> 01:10:19,600
an ad for Matt Dineman's other series that he is

1056
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:24,359
working on, like an audio play and audio drama, and

1057
01:10:25,399 --> 01:10:28,640
I'm interested. But it does sound like it's kind of intense,

1058
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:32,079
so I don't know, maybe, but I just wanted to

1059
01:10:32,079 --> 01:10:35,159
acknowledge it because it's not something that's in the audiobook

1060
01:10:35,199 --> 01:10:41,520
obvious or the print book obviously. So yeah, that is

1061
01:10:42,079 --> 01:10:45,479
the end of the book. Very very promising, Like I

1062
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,159
feel like this is the most interested I've been to

1063
01:10:49,279 --> 01:10:51,680
start the next book, and I'm always excited to start

1064
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,119
the next one, but this has me really really curious

1065
01:10:55,159 --> 01:10:59,439
because we're clearly changing up a lot coming up. There's

1066
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:03,359
going to be some major differences, so I'm looking forward

1067
01:11:03,359 --> 01:11:07,079
to that. All right, everybody, Well, I have to wrap it.

1068
01:11:07,119 --> 01:11:09,359
Thank you all again for hanging out with me. Appreciate

1069
01:11:09,399 --> 01:11:13,239
you very much. Thank you to Michael for commissioning this.

1070
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,479
I had a moment of just about to say Marshall

1071
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:22,359
my husband's name, and yeah, I'm just excited. So can't

1072
01:11:22,399 --> 01:11:25,880
wait for Thursday. All right, I will see you then

1073
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:58,520
till then to the Loo, motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled

1074
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,760
