1
00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast.

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:14,199
Speaker 2: This is spoil Me covering Dungeon Crawler Carl chapters twenty

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,359
one through twenty six. In these chapters, we face a

4
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:25,480
couple more bosses, and we also meet up with a

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:31,399
group of elderly people and their caretakers and find out

6
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:42,119
some disturbing things. It's uh, I'm concerned, I'm worried. Welcome

7
00:00:42,840 --> 00:01:04,680
to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha.

8
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,239
Thank you very much to Michael for commissioning this episode.

9
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,359
And Michael is here in the chat along with Rob

10
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:16,840
and ms T and Brett. So have a little group today.

11
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:26,079
Lovely to see you all. Yeah, you guys. I so

12
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:29,760
this section has it opens.

13
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: Up the world a little bit.

14
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,239
Speaker 2: I feel like, I want to say it that way,

15
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:39,040
where there are a lot of things that are possible

16
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:42,519
when you set up a story like this, the entire

17
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,120
world being crushed and then people from all over winding

18
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,400
up down here and how would that work?

19
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: And I really.

20
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,439
Speaker 2: Really enjoy as we are getting into this with like

21
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,719
a bunch of old people. The what we're doing is

22
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:08,800
dealing with ableism in one of its most basic forms.

23
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:15,319
Because a lot of people just sort of dismiss concerns

24
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,599
about accessibility and stuff because they don't need them, and

25
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:26,280
they fail to consider that they themselves are only temporarily

26
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,840
able bodied. If you get old, you will need help

27
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,560
if you're lucky enough to get old, and if you

28
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,000
are unlucky, you may wind up disabled for other reasons

29
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:42,719
a lot sooner than you planned. And so there's a

30
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:46,719
sort of sense of like, well, we could help those

31
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:52,560
people if we wanted, without ever including yourself in that future,

32
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,879
because we just never really think of ourselves as being

33
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,319
on the way to the same destiny. It's always like no, no, no,

34
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,400
but that won't happen to me. And it's a similar things,

35
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,560
like so many different situations in life that we will

36
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,159
not ever see ourselves in. And it's like, by failing

37
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,639
to help those people, you are ultimately shooting yourself in

38
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,360
the foot your future self, because you are not.

39
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: Having empathy for.

40
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: All kinds of situations and all kinds of people and

41
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:36,439
all of the types of challenges that a variety of

42
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:41,000
people face. So I think that this is a compelling

43
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,560
section that is probably going to wind up heartbreaking, and

44
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:50,759
I am worried about it. So let's start chapter twenty

45
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:57,439
one we find out that, like the results of the

46
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,120
trap that Carl set for Frank and Maggie is undetermined.

47
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,439
I am fully assuming that the two of them are

48
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,199
still alive.

49
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: They just seem like the kind of.

50
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: People that would be suspicious of finding an unlooted corpse,

51
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:20,079
that they would have their guard up in a certain

52
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,240
sort of way. I don't know, And I just think

53
00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:29,360
that if they were to have been killed, I don't

54
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:31,839
know necessarily that the game would have given him like

55
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:39,399
a notification or an achievement for it. But I just

56
00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:42,399
feel like these are not characters that you set up

57
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:45,439
and don't bring back again. It's just not going to

58
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,000
be that easy to get rid of them. So there's

59
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:57,079
another achievement, bitch meat reward. Bitches don't get rewards. And

60
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,839
he actually laughs here. It's the first time that he's

61
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,399
sort of like, it's the kind of thing where I

62
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,560
feel that it would be very easy to see the

63
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,040
fact that he laughs at the notification as a positive indicator,

64
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:16,800
but I think it's actually the opposite, you know. I

65
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,160
think that he has gotten so used to this new

66
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,519
normal that the fact that he's laughing along with the

67
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,800
jokes is actually kind of dire. Do you know what

68
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,360
I'm saying?

69
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,079
Speaker 3: Like that, The.

70
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,079
Speaker 2: Acceptance that it indicates isn't a great thing. I can

71
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,160
understand it, but I just feel like it's a red flag.

72
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,759
So we drove for hours, seeing no signs of people.

73
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,839
It was difficult to gauge how fast we were moving,

74
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,920
but I guessed about twenty miles an hour. My chopper

75
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:56,360
pilot skill rose steadily as I drove. Once I hit

76
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:59,680
level five, the throttle actually allowed me to increase our speed.

77
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,720
And they're just trying to explore, find some other people,

78
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,879
just like you know. They're trying to level up still,

79
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:12,560
and he has donut keep her map up on full screen.

80
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,839
The bathrooms were continue to be all over the place.

81
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,959
My thoughts wandered to my father. If he could only

82
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,839
see me now sitting on this thing, holding my legs

83
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,600
out so they wouldn't burn on the sides of the

84
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,360
glorified moped, he'd laugh, call me a damn fool. He'd

85
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:35,399
been a motorcycle guy, not a full time leather clad biker.

86
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:39,040
He was more of a weekend warrior. I hadn't talked

87
00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:42,120
to or heard from the man in over twelve years,

88
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,959
not since he'd abandoned me that day, leaving me all

89
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,839
alone in the world. The way he says that day,

90
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:56,480
I am assuming is the day that he said, I

91
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,079
don't need you to like me, but you will respect me.

92
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:03,920
And the fact that he hasn't spoken to him since

93
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,560
that day when he was twelve years old, is like

94
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,439
incredibly fucked up. Like I'm trying to think what could

95
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:15,399
have been going on, and I am sort of wondering

96
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,319
if he went after Carl's mom and Carl stood up

97
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:20,120
for his mom and his dad just was like, you

98
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,199
know what, and like fucked off and never came back.

99
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, but.

100
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: I never really expected his father to still be alive.

101
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:36,920
I really thought. And it raises the question, now, are

102
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:41,279
we going to see this man in the maze in

103
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,720
the dungeon? Because like, this is the thing that you

104
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,839
have to kind of roll with with stories like this.

105
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:52,000
How many million people are left, like three million something,

106
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,879
And it's highly unlikely that anybody Carl knows is still

107
00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,800
going to be alive.

108
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: It's just you know.

109
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,439
Speaker 2: But also if they are, I would understand doing that

110
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,759
As a writer. I wouldn't even be mad at it.

111
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:11,879
It would just be the sort of thing that feels

112
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:18,920
really really unlikely. And I can't tell, like what kind

113
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,639
of story we're writing, because it depends on what it

114
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,759
is the author is trying to do and whether or

115
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,319
not you want there to be a scene of I

116
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,519
don't even want to say reconciliation because I just don't

117
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:33,399
think that sounds like it's in the cards for the

118
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:40,240
two of them, but maybe a like emotional moment of

119
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,360
running into him, running into his ex girlfriend.

120
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: And I think, maybe that's not what we're doing.

121
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: What I keep thinking about here, guys, if you haven't

122
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:56,720
watched the movie Wild, it's called simply Wild Wyld. It

123
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,879
has Reese Witherspoon in it as like almost the only

124
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,840
character in the movie, and it's a story based on

125
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:07,519
a true story and autobiography of a woman whose mother

126
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:11,559
died and she had had nobody else in the world.

127
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:14,840
Her mother was like her entire world, and when her

128
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,600
mother dies unexpectedly quite young, she kind of goes off

129
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,120
the deep end for a little while, doing drugs, fucking anybody,

130
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,720
and finally decides to get her shit together and walks

131
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,879
the Pacific Crest Trail, you know, from start to finish,

132
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,240
and that's like a big journey for her, and she

133
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,120
throughout the way this movie is done, and it's that

134
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,039
it's like there's no soundtrack, there's no nothing, it's just

135
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,200
the natural sounds of wherever she is, unless she's thinking

136
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,000
back in time two moments with her mother, and that's

137
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,159
the only time that music pops up, because that tends

138
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,480
to be what spur her memory, is the sound of

139
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:03,840
this certain song that was on in the kitchen when

140
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,480
they were doing this thing, or when they were in

141
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,360
the car or whatever. And so most of the movie,

142
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,240
like you don't actually really meet almost anybody that this

143
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:18,759
main character is connected to. It's all done through her

144
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:23,440
own flashbacks and thoughts as she's traveling alone working through shit.

145
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,960
So that's kind of what I'm thinking here as well

146
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,960
a little bit. It's just like him on his own

147
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:38,080
journey and just working through shit in a very direct

148
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:45,600
way that I don't know would have been possible otherwise. So, oh,

149
00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:47,480
I'm sorry, there's a bunch of comments that I missed.

150
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,679
I didn't even see em. Han says, nurses in an

151
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,159
old person's home have an incredibly tough job, hard to

152
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,679
keep yourself from becoming desensitized, and the good ones are

153
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:01,080
amazing people. Yeah, Rob says, then throw on just cause

154
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:05,840
fallacy too. We'll get into that, and Michael says, I

155
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:08,559
always excuse the super unlikely moments in plots as we're

156
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,440
following one person in a million who rolled NAT twenties.

157
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,440
Everyone else died or weren't interesting enough to follow. And yeah,

158
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:18,480
like I said, if they turn up, I will have

159
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,519
a problem with that, you know, but I will say

160
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,720
that it's like I won't help, but be able to

161
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:31,120
comment on the fact that this just seems like unlikely

162
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,519
if he's gonna run into anybody. I feel like his

163
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,159
dad makes more sense than his mother or ex girlfriend

164
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,320
or whatever.

165
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,879
Speaker 3: But who knows.

166
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: So finally they see a sign that says stares plus people.

167
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:56,039
It's written in spray paint that is still tacky when

168
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:58,279
he touches it and it's like still wet, and he

169
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:00,440
says that it's red spray paint. For a moment, I

170
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:02,080
was like, is this going to turn out to be blood?

171
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:06,200
But he can tell it to spray pain and blood.

172
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,000
I could see several ex's on my map indicating mob

173
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,840
corpses just down the hallways. These were white horned goat

174
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,080
things with mouths full of fangs. Loutable corpse Chilly goat

175
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,039
level four killed by crawler Brandon On with an assist

176
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:30,200
by crawler Chris Andrews. Two inventory empty, and his concern,

177
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,639
understandably is that even though these are other crawlers, they

178
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,960
put up a big sign probably this is some sort

179
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,120
of trap. It turns out that is not the case.

180
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,799
They are people who need some help and also are

181
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,480
apparently like a little bit naive about how things are

182
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,639
working here, or maybe naive is too strong a word,

183
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,720
but I feel like the energy that I am getting

184
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,720
is that they are desperate enough for help that they

185
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,039
are just willing to take the risk, you know. And

186
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,039
Donut is like, all right, if you want to zoom out,

187
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,440
we can see the stairwell, and I didn't see it,

188
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,600
says stairwell to floor two, which the fact that they

189
00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:18,279
found one is interesting. Look, there's something written on the ground.

190
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,639
This road is safe. We're gathered a mile and a

191
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,080
half this way. Do not go deeper into the spiral

192
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:31,200
or you will activate the burrow boss. Just as Donah says,

193
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,399
I wonder what's in there. Something rushed past on the

194
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,279
other side. It was like we were standing on a

195
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,960
train platform. Whatever it was it was something fast, something big,

196
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:50,320
very very big, and they find this gate. If we

197
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:53,639
slid under the gate, it would no doubt slide closed.

198
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 3: And trap us.

199
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: Let's wait a second, I said, I want to see

200
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,159
what it is. We didn't have to wait long. The

201
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,039
creature whatever was rushed by in a flash, too fast

202
00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:05,039
for me to get an info box. It rolled like

203
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,200
a ball. It was pink, fleshy in the size of

204
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,399
the entire hallway. It was like a nightmare pac Man monster.

205
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:16,960
It made terrible grunting noises as it rocketed by, shaking

206
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,440
the walls. The stench of sewage wafted it up as

207
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,120
it passed.

208
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: Yikes.

209
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:25,799
Speaker 2: So we eventually find out what that is, and it's

210
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:34,480
knowing doesn't really help actually, So at first, from far away,

211
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:37,600
he sees like forty people gathered together and he's like,

212
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:41,279
oh sweet. But then as he comes closer he sees

213
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:50,080
how old almost everybody is, and it's just like, oh shit, wheelchairs, walkers,

214
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:53,480
nobody is like dressed for this either. You know, they're

215
00:14:53,519 --> 00:15:00,879
all in pajamas and stuff. And it says an older

216
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:04,240
woman stood apart pushing seventy, not one hundred.

217
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,559
Speaker 3: Like the others.

218
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: Black eyes watching us she stood stiffly, wrapped head to

219
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,639
toe in an endless amount of scarves. She leaned on

220
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:16,279
a shopping cart filled to the brim with blankets and

221
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,720
other odds and ends, including a plastic pink flamingo that

222
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,440
had an arrow stuck.

223
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,879
Speaker 3: In its head. I love that so much.

224
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:30,639
Speaker 2: And we find out later that this is Agatha, who is.

225
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: Quite a character. I am. I'm curious about her.

226
00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:39,519
Speaker 2: They get approached by a chubby black guy who turns

227
00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:45,600
out to be Brandon, and he has a Bronze star

228
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:49,679
by his name. I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong.

229
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,080
That we find out what these bronze stars stand for in.

230
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:56,399
Speaker 3: The achievements.

231
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,639
Speaker 2: I'm kind of feeling like maybe it's something about having

232
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,639
saved lives or I don't know, because you know, he's

233
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:09,039
clearly here, like trying to help these people, even though

234
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,879
we're sort of at a point where I don't know

235
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:13,600
that that's going to really be possible, my guy, But

236
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:22,879
I had not really considered the fact that when new

237
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,080
people meet Carl and Donut, the fact that he is

238
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:31,120
called Royal Bodyguard and she is labeled Grand Champion Best

239
00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:35,320
in Dungeon. It's like the fact that she can talk

240
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,399
now doesn't change anything about the way that she looks

241
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,159
or comes across to people, So they kind of take

242
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,679
a moment and reevaluate Carl for a second because they're

243
00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:48,679
thinking maybe he's a bit looney Tunes. And then she

244
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:55,200
speaks and everybody is like, oh shit, that's what's going on.

245
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:59,679
Brandon went to a knee and patted Donut on the head.

246
00:17:00,039 --> 00:17:03,399
She looked simultaneously outraged and thrilled that he.

247
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:04,079
Speaker 3: Had touched her.

248
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,039
Speaker 2: Well, it's nice to meet you, Princess Donut. I'm sorry

249
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:09,480
if I offended you, pretty girl. I've never met a

250
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:14,039
talking cat before. It's quite all right, Donut said, mollified,

251
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:20,119
apology accepted. I really enjoy this a lot. It's hard

252
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,799
for me to know with her charisma how much that

253
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:27,519
affects other crawlers and how much that affects the game itself.

254
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:31,400
Only I have to assume it doesn't really work on

255
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,599
other crawlers, but I don't know that. Oh they're telling

256
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,319
me in the chat that it's for killing a boss,

257
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:40,880
so thank you.

258
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: Guys.

259
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: Didn't remember that at all. Despite what I had seen

260
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,279
earlier with the Goat corpses, it appeared there were only

261
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:53,519
four people in here in fighting shape. Brandon and Chris

262
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:57,160
were six around. Hispanic woman Yolanda Martinez, was fifty and

263
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,160
stood about four foot eleven. She was level five and

264
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,480
carried a bow and had a quiver over her shoulder.

265
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,680
The fourth was a woman carrying a long sword. She

266
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,920
too wore scrubs, though she also wore a magical cloak.

267
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,400
Her name was Immani. She looked to be about twenty.

268
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,720
Her terrified, hollowed out eyes suggested she had seen some shit,

269
00:18:20,759 --> 00:18:24,759
and MONI had a lot of skulls, one big skull

270
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,960
followed by two more regular ones. When I hovered over it,

271
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:34,200
it said crawler killer times twelve, so the big skull

272
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:40,039
is short for ten. She is level ten, and Doughnut

273
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,839
in text is freaking out and being like Karl, oh

274
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:46,039
my god, it's another murderer. But Carl can tell from

275
00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:49,839
this woman's demeanor like, I don't think she's like Frank

276
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,799
and Maggie at all. And eventually we find out that

277
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,519
there was a really bad fight and that this woman

278
00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:01,559
put a bunch of old people to the sword to

279
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:05,240
save them from a much worse death, and this caused

280
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,920
her to rapidly level up. And it's like, you know,

281
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:14,640
just such a horrific way to level up. But it

282
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,960
becomes a question later on for Carl, if people are

283
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,920
aware this is possible, then they might target a group

284
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,440
of old people expressly to level up and kill all

285
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,240
of them. And when he brings this up, Donut is like,

286
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,680
nobody is that evil?

287
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: And I was just like, girl.

288
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: The fact that these folks are so unlikely to survive

289
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,880
deeper levels would make a lot of people feel justified

290
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,799
in killing them because they are just doing what's going

291
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,599
to happen eventually anyway. And I think that's some rationalization bullshit.

292
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,759
But a lot of people would manage to convince themselves

293
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:57,240
that it's not that big a deal. I really believe that.

294
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,640
I think they'd know in their gut it was wrong,

295
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,599
but I think they would talk themselves into it.

296
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: And you know, like.

297
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:14,079
Speaker 2: Agatha is only level two. Just for the record, there

298
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,759
were two hundred and fifty of you, Yeah, Brandon said

299
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:20,640
more quietly. Not everyone came down here, and not everyone

300
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,279
who did.

301
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,759
Speaker 3: Is still with us.

302
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: The fire started and quickly quickly engulfed the outside of

303
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,200
their building. Apparently it was Agatha who started this fire,

304
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,920
so everybody had evacuated in the middle of the night,

305
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,960
and when they evacuate, then the place gets crushed and

306
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,519
this like stairway opens up, but there are people standing

307
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,559
right over where the stairway opens, and they just fall

308
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:49,680
in and they aren't even at the bottom of the stairs.

309
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,799
They are just never seen again. So nobody knows what

310
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:57,200
happened to those people. And Agatha walks up to it,

311
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,119
and she's got her uh like, she's got a grocery

312
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,000
cart that she keeps rolling between like she's homeless, so

313
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,480
that's what she keeps all of her stuff in. And

314
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,519
she goes up to it and it turns into a

315
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,359
ramp to make it easier for her to go down,

316
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:19,559
which enables everybody to go down in wheelchairs as well.

317
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:26,799
It's trying to get people to go down. We didn't

318
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:28,359
mean to go all the way in, but it was

319
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,880
warm in there, so I pushed a few residents into

320
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,599
the entrance where the ramp wasn't so steep, so that

321
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,799
hot air was blasting on them. I figured we could

322
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:37,559
wait there till we knew what we were going to do.

323
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,400
Only a few of the cops in paramedics remained after

324
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,519
the collapse. They just took off running like they had

325
00:21:42,519 --> 00:21:45,839
someplace better to go, but some stayed and helped me

326
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,079
bring the residence into the warmth. We moved several over,

327
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,839
but then after we'd moved about half the residence into

328
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:54,559
the warmth, it just stopped letting me leave. My foot

329
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,160
was trapped. My brother wasn't even in the hole, but

330
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,519
when he grabbed my hand, it wouldn't let him move either.

331
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:02,759
It started hurting after a minute. It only stopped when

332
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:05,160
we moved down the ramp. When we got that twenty

333
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,480
minute warning when it said anyone lurking in the stairwall

334
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:08,759
wouldn't get out, we just went in.

335
00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: We didn't have a choice.

336
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 2: We had about twenty guys with us, including a couple

337
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,559
firemen and cops, who decided to go in.

338
00:22:16,079 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 3: Most didn't.

339
00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if Frank was part of this group.

340
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

341
00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:24,319
Speaker 2: Most of these folks haven't moved hardly at all since

342
00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:26,279
we got here. We've been bringing them food from a

343
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:30,200
safe room a mile away. The cops and firefighters went

344
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,960
in when we first found the place. The gates closed

345
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,160
and about five minutes later opened up again, and those

346
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,720
guys were just gone. Our tutorial guide, Mistress Tiatha, said,

347
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,039
all borough and city bosses will have stairwells for the

348
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:45,160
first four or five levels, but there will be a

349
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,319
bunch of other stairs in random places too. A couple

350
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,279
of us went out searching for them, hoping we could

351
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:53,160
find a stairwell that's either easier to get to than

352
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:53,599
this one.

353
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,839
Speaker 3: This was a while back.

354
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: They're all dead. You can see when they die on

355
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:01,920
the party menu. They all got picked off by something

356
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,440
that's been hunting them, one by one, even doctor Gracie,

357
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,720
she was a damn MMA fighter. US four were the

358
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:16,240
last of the non residents, US and Agatha. And Agatha,

359
00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:18,319
by the way, is the source for the spray paint,

360
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,119
so that's handy. I am curious what else she's got

361
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,039
going on in that shopping cart of hers. And the

362
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,720
safe room that is nearby, which had been a waffle house,

363
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,519
is at capacity, and nobody is leaving. Everybody has decided

364
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:40,000
to just wait shit out. And I said this from

365
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,759
the beginning, that like, if the safe room was nice enough,

366
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,640
that's what I might do. Just go in there, have

367
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,960
some lovely meals, watch the fucking madness on the TV,

368
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,640
and just let myself get squished.

369
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:55,799
Speaker 3: I don't know. I probably wouldn't go that route.

370
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,039
Speaker 2: I know myself pretty well by now, and I think

371
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:03,599
I'd wind up trying to fight. But it would be

372
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,400
pretty tempting. I would, you know, I'd have to think

373
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:14,319
about it. And there's this gnome thing that's cooking food

374
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,160
and singing.

375
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: They all love it.

376
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 2: Those folks at the waffle house made a vote and

377
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:25,559
decided they're not coming out. And Brandon's brother, Chris, he says,

378
00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:28,599
not exactly mute, but he don't say too much. Think

379
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,759
of him as silent Bob. If he says something, you

380
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:38,079
better listen. And her I asked, indicating Imani. We got

381
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:40,559
attacked once right after we found that tutorial. I don't

382
00:24:40,599 --> 00:24:42,640
really want to talk about it, man, but Imani, she

383
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,400
had that sword and several of the residents. We were

384
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,400
taking them in groups to Tiatha. They can't move so quick.

385
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:51,200
It was for the better letting those things burn them.

386
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:55,559
That'd be much worse. I had questions, but I knew

387
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:01,079
some things were best left unasked. Those people can't walk,

388
00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:04,039
so the dungeon's' fast healing and all the healing spells

389
00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:08,240
don't work. Oh it's amazing, but it's a curse too.

390
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,240
All of these folks have been cured of hundreds of

391
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:14,839
little ailments, not one of them brought any of their medications,

392
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,039
and it's been okay. But at the same time, they

393
00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:21,319
ain't getting any younger or stronger, and those who've lost

394
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,000
memories or cognitive function that hasn't been fixed. It's like

395
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,119
it cured anything that's going to kill them, but it

396
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,960
didn't make them any better than they were either. And

397
00:25:32,279 --> 00:25:35,880
that is really interesting to me, because like there's gonna

398
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,000
be plenty of little ailments that people younger do suffer

399
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:42,599
from as well, and obviously it seems like Carl didn't

400
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,000
have anything like that. But I wonder, you know, like

401
00:25:47,559 --> 00:25:50,519
if it's just funny because like when you live in

402
00:25:50,519 --> 00:25:53,240
the United States and healthcare is such a complete shit show,

403
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,200
this is sounding to me like not a bad deal,

404
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,839
which really should give you some idea of how direed

405
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,279
is here, Like oh, well, you know, I mean, you

406
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:05,880
don't get stronger or younger, but like everything else is.

407
00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:06,279
Speaker 1: Taken care of.

408
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: Maybe that's ah, where's.

409
00:26:08,599 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: The stairway again?

410
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,759
Speaker 2: How do I get tell her?

411
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:14,319
Speaker 3: Oh?

412
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: God, the original plan was to gather as many people

413
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,160
as we could and storm the maze. I think it's

414
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,839
shaped like a spiral, but nobody was coming, so they

415
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:28,000
went looking for other exits, and that didn't work out.

416
00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:31,599
Speaker 3: So well, we can't just leave them.

417
00:26:31,839 --> 00:26:33,799
Speaker 2: I was hoping maybe if we could get them down

418
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:35,559
to the second level, we could do the same thing

419
00:26:35,599 --> 00:26:38,160
for the third. And if they'd all get to choose

420
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,640
a class, maybe they wouldn't be you know, useless, Donut asked,

421
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:45,960
I nodded. I felt for the guy and the other three.

422
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,799
Would I have stayed even when it was so damn hopeless?

423
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,359
These four the idea of giving up their duty wasn't

424
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,720
even a question. I spent some time recounting our story.

425
00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:00,799
I can do something similar with this boss. I think

426
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:02,559
I can build a bomb that'll go off in it's

427
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:04,839
own when the monster hits it. That way, you don't

428
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,839
have to get locked in there to fight. It won't work,

429
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,559
Yolanda said, you know those little doors, the ones that

430
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,480
let you see the monster.

431
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: They're protected.

432
00:27:12,519 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: I thought to try to hit it with my bow,

433
00:27:14,079 --> 00:27:16,640
but the arrow bounces right off. I poked at it

434
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,559
with my finger, and it feels like clay.

435
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 3: It glows blue if you touch it.

436
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: They look like entrances, but they ain't. I think maybe

437
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,200
you can go in that way if you push yourself

438
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,839
really hard. But I wouldn't try it, and I wouldn't

439
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,160
be pushing no bomb through that. The only way in

440
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:32,279
is through this big gate, and the monster doesn't go

441
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:34,319
in that first room, so you can't hurt it without

442
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:41,759
getting locked in. He also Carl says here I told

443
00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:45,279
him of our encounters with neighborhood bosses, and I was like,

444
00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:47,839
did you tell them about Frank and Maggie? Though I

445
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,480
really wanted that to come up, and it doesn't. He

446
00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:53,359
doesn't mention it.

447
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 3: So Carl has to.

448
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: Have a moment here where he's deciding what am I

449
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,759
going to do? Am I gonna try and help these

450
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:05,839
people even though it's ultimately hopeless? Or am I going

451
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,519
to take off and just try to make it with Donut?

452
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:17,319
And he says, the people, the ones who died while

453
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,079
looking for more stairs, which direction did they go? How

454
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,440
long did the last one? How long ago did the

455
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,440
last one disappear? It could have been them Frank and Maggie,

456
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:30,119
but that would mean they'd gotten into this area before us.

457
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,119
That didn't make sense. We were pretty far from where

458
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,920
we'd last encountered them. Behind me, one of the elderly

459
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,599
women started sobbing. If I'm gonna die, I might as

460
00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:42,319
well do it in the.

461
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: Pursuit of a worthy cause.

462
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:50,759
Speaker 2: I really liked this attitude of like, look, I already

463
00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:53,279
have felt it was very unlikely that I was going

464
00:28:53,319 --> 00:28:59,759
to get any further into this than I have. I

465
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,440
as well use that time to do something that makes

466
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,319
me feel like I'm doing the right thing. And honestly,

467
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:13,039
this is like what it's all about, in my opinion,

468
00:29:14,839 --> 00:29:20,559
When people treat the world like it's a contest to

469
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,000
get to the top, it just seems like they're so

470
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,440
profoundly missing the point. And it's almost tragic because it's

471
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,079
like you're doing to yourself something that nobody asks you

472
00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:36,920
to do, and it's warping your view of yourself and

473
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,799
other people. So even though you may prolong your life,

474
00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:44,599
you are doing it at the expense of not only

475
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,119
the people around you, but your own soul. In a way,

476
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:54,279
how good can your life really be if you don't

477
00:29:54,279 --> 00:29:57,440
have the humanity left in you to give a shit

478
00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:02,400
about other people. That's the point, you know. It's it's

479
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,720
something that I am.

480
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: I really like.

481
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,559
Speaker 2: This is something I've mentioned on other shows as well,

482
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,640
is that I am very much of the belief. After

483
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,400
you get to a certain level of wealth, your brain

484
00:30:17,559 --> 00:30:21,160
gets warped and something's wrong with you. Because if you

485
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:24,880
reach that point and your instinct is not to pour

486
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:29,279
that money into other people's lives to help them, I

487
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,440
don't understand you, Like, I genuinely don't.

488
00:30:33,759 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: You know.

489
00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:38,839
Speaker 2: I am over here barely making it, and I am still, like,

490
00:30:39,359 --> 00:30:42,640
you know, paying Rashan five hundred dollars a month out

491
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,599
of what I'm making from the show because she fucking

492
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,319
needs it to pay her mother's.

493
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,119
Speaker 3: Rent, you know, and like I really kind of can't.

494
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,559
Speaker 2: Afford to do it, But also I like, I gotta

495
00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:57,720
do something, you know. I just don't understand holding on

496
00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:00,559
to things for yourself and your self ownly because it

497
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,279
just seems ultimately so pointless. So then you get to

498
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:09,079
be alone on your pile of gold, and now what

499
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:15,440
who fucking you know? So I just the idea of

500
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,920
like getting ahead in business by throwing other people under

501
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:24,640
the bus as well? How is it? How do people

502
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:28,599
like justify this to themselves and sleep at night? You've

503
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,480
got there's got to be something wrong with you if

504
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,519
you are willing to sacrifice the well being of millions

505
00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:38,440
of people who work for you so that you can

506
00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:42,519
earn an additional few million dollars this year when you

507
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:46,960
already have so many millions that you probably wouldn't notice

508
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,440
if it went like half of it went missing. It

509
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,680
probably like wouldn't affect your life, you know.

510
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,839
Speaker 3: I just genuinely think.

511
00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: You can't get to a level of wealth without being

512
00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:03,359
a bad person.

513
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:06,119
Speaker 3: And I think it's that simple.

514
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:11,119
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of things in my life that

515
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,079
I have had the opportunity to do or go in

516
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,440
a certain direction and make a lot more money if

517
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,039
I had done X, Y or Z, and I had

518
00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:25,279
to not make the choice that would make me more

519
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:29,240
money because it felt wrong. There's all kinds of examples,

520
00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:31,559
and I won't get into all of them, but there's

521
00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:35,720
a million places where I was facing a fork in

522
00:32:35,759 --> 00:32:39,880
the road and I could decide to do the thing

523
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,119
that many people would consider the smart business decision, and

524
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,599
all I could ask myself is but.

525
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: Can I live with that? Though?

526
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: And ultimately I was like I couldn't.

527
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: You know.

528
00:32:53,759 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: One of the ones that is the most sort of

529
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,680
recent is deciding to take the Harry Pottery down. Harry

530
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,640
Potter was far and away my most popular show, covering

531
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,480
that with Rashaan, she was totally unspoiled. It was a

532
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,720
huge success and became a major part of my life

533
00:33:12,759 --> 00:33:13,240
for a while.

534
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 3: And then JK.

535
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: Rowling decided to become a fucking monster, and I just

536
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:26,720
couldn't justify making money off of a property that had

537
00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:30,319
been created by somebody like that where I'm on tape

538
00:33:30,359 --> 00:33:34,599
and Rashaan is on tape singing their praises and like

539
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,359
kind of handwaving issues in the text and all this.

540
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:41,359
There was just so much about leaving it up that

541
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,920
would compromise the message I am trying to put into

542
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,920
the world. And I took it down and it cost

543
00:33:51,079 --> 00:33:54,079
a lot. I lost a lot doing that. It was

544
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:57,240
a it was a tough choice. I'm not gonna lie,

545
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:03,559
but I just didn't leave it up and keep profiting

546
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:09,280
off it. It just felt wrong. And it's like, I

547
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,400
just think, if you are willing to sacrifice your own

548
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,440
ethics for money, you are killing a part of yourself

549
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:21,920
and so making the money, you're trying to like fill

550
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,639
a hole that could have been filled with your soul,

551
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,880
but you made the whole by compromising the things that

552
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:35,840
allegedly really mattered to you, And now you've broken yourself

553
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,000
somehow and you're trying to like patch yourself back together

554
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:41,719
with money, and it's not going to work.

555
00:34:42,119 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: It's not going to do what you want, you know.

556
00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:53,639
Speaker 2: So anyway, I just this attitude of just what am

557
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,000
I going to do while I'm here? That's for the best,

558
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,800
instead of trying to think survive, you know, I'm only

559
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,960
going to surround myself.

560
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: With quote useful people. I think this is the only

561
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,360
way to live.

562
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 2: I like, the only way that you on your deathbed

563
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:15,800
don't feel like there's real regrets that you wish you

564
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:23,320
could go back and change. So anyway, this is uh

565
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,880
like a nice moment of learning who Karl is because

566
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,960
I was pretty certain he would make this decision, but

567
00:35:33,079 --> 00:35:36,960
I I didn't really know, And I think that's it.

568
00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:44,119
You never really know until you're in it. So are

569
00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:46,559
there any other rest areas? Yeah, we know of two.

570
00:35:46,679 --> 00:35:48,719
One doesn't have anything in it except a vending machine

571
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,480
that hands out wrapped candies. They taste like piss, but

572
00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:55,239
give you a plus one boost to your dexterity. The

573
00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:01,599
machine only works once a day, that fucking clothes. The

574
00:36:01,639 --> 00:36:04,280
next place is further down a taco bell from Peru

575
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,360
and has full facilities, including coffee and beer, good beer.

576
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,960
And they talk about like clearing out the other quadrants

577
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,920
and that there are these like lizard creatures that poison you,

578
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:22,199
and he is like, they're nothing to fuck with. By

579
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,440
the way, I had to like use up some potions

580
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,559
in order to live long enough that the poison affect

581
00:36:27,639 --> 00:36:28,239
war off.

582
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,559
Speaker 3: I barely got out of there.

583
00:36:30,599 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: So Carl is like, Okay, we're going to go and

584
00:36:35,039 --> 00:36:37,719
spend the rest of the day like dealing with that

585
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,119
and leveling up. Get some of those cans out of Agatha,

586
00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:44,199
and I'm going to take him with us. And he

587
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,239
doesn't tell them what he's going to do with them,

588
00:36:46,679 --> 00:36:48,880
but what we find out later is that he's going

589
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,880
to alter the signs so that they are they send

590
00:36:52,960 --> 00:37:00,320
people in the wrong directions, and he says beware of

591
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,719
other crawlers, but he again hasn't specifically mentioned Frank and

592
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,719
Maggie bugs me guys. I really feel like he should

593
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,480
be giving them specific names of people to watch out for.

594
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,639
I just think that's the smart thing to do here.

595
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,960
And he's like, we're gonna watch the episode, get sleep

596
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,679
and come back, and then we are going to go

597
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:26,800
in there and fuck that boss up. And twenty three

598
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:32,320
is us going off by ourselves to grind, as he

599
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,039
puts it, and deal with this fucking boss.

600
00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:42,039
Speaker 3: This is a real weird one.

601
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 2: So first we have the Troglodite Pigmy and the AI says, oh,

602
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,559
these fuckers with an intelligence just shy of an off

603
00:37:51,679 --> 00:37:55,440
dropped toddler. The standard Troglodite Pigmy Warrior would be harmless

604
00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:01,840
if it wasn't so damn fast or venomous. So first

605
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,199
of all, here we have Donut using slightly overpowered missiles

606
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,880
to take them out, and she like he kind of says,

607
00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:12,639
you really need to reserve that a little bit more,

608
00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:15,039
and she argues with him about it. But then later

609
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:17,760
on she uses a slightly lower powered missile.

610
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,079
Speaker 3: So I do enjoy that.

611
00:38:19,199 --> 00:38:25,199
Speaker 2: Like, despite Donut always being contrarian and protesting him giving

612
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,280
her instructions, it turns out that she is listening to him.

613
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,719
You know, I like that because I can beat this

614
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,519
way as well. I'll be like in the moment just

615
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:35,800
kind of like eh eh, and then later on I'll

616
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,480
just fine, I'll do it that way, you know. So

617
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,840
I saw myself in that a little bit, and he

618
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,719
tells her, like, you have a lot more strength than mine,

619
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,000
it's double what mine is. You really do need to

620
00:38:51,039 --> 00:38:53,880
learn how to fight with your clause, And later on

621
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,119
we find out, eh, not really not in this body,

622
00:38:57,159 --> 00:39:04,599
she doesn't. I am wondering what happens if he gives

623
00:39:04,639 --> 00:39:10,519
her a different, like enhanced pet treat, because I don't

624
00:39:11,079 --> 00:39:13,880
know if she'll lose the ability to talk, or if

625
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:18,920
that becomes something that rolls into the next like change

626
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,119
that overcomes her. And if she loses the ability to talk,

627
00:39:23,159 --> 00:39:26,920
that'll be really weird. Like I have to assume she'd

628
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:31,199
still be able to communicate with him via the text chat, right,

629
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,880
So that's probably how that would work, but I feel

630
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:39,679
like things would be harder. And also she has insisted

631
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,519
that she's not going to change race, so the only

632
00:39:43,559 --> 00:39:45,639
physical changes that will happen to her will be due

633
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,320
to those biscuits if she eats anymore. I don't remember

634
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,079
if they were if it was mentioned that they heal

635
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,039
or do anything in particular. And now she's not technically

636
00:39:56,079 --> 00:40:00,239
a pet because she's a member of the party. I'm

637
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,400
not sure if he can even feed them to her anymore.

638
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,039
There's a lot of like you know, things up in

639
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:05,599
the air here.

640
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 3: So the Boss room.

641
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 2: The front door was one of those glass automatic sliding doors.

642
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,840
The sign on it was in English. It said open

643
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:21,599
twenty four hours and fitness weights gains. It was a

644
00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:26,360
high ceilinged gym. Signs hung on the wall, filled with

645
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,480
slogans like today is the day you gain and excuses,

646
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:33,599
don't lose calories and release the beast. I feel like

647
00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:39,480
it should be excuses, don't burn calories, don't lose calories.

648
00:40:39,519 --> 00:40:41,519
Speaker 3: That doesn't really make sense. I don't feel like that works.

649
00:40:42,559 --> 00:40:46,519
Speaker 2: The place smelled of sweat and oil and testosterone. From

650
00:40:46,559 --> 00:40:49,239
around the corner, I could see racks of fitness equipment.

651
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,079
While not tiny, the place was much smaller than the

652
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:55,719
last boss room. I didn't dare throw a dynamite stick

653
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:56,079
in here.

654
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 3: First of all, just quick.

655
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,159
Speaker 2: There are lots of women waitlifters, but it's melso testosterone.

656
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,159
Because of I am assuming the weird male creature that

657
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:08,840
is in here.

658
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 3: So this guy is called.

659
00:41:13,679 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 2: The Juicer, with a body enhanced by the finest anabolic

660
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,559
steroids the dark Web has to offer. The Juicer spends

661
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:25,239
his days pushing iron, iron snapping necks, and crying that

662
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,679
his pimple infested sack is a third the size.

663
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:29,199
Speaker 3: It once was.

664
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: Having reached a planateau, rage now fills his enlarged heart.

665
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,039
All he ever wanted was to gain, But right now

666
00:41:39,199 --> 00:41:40,280
he'll settle.

667
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,039
Speaker 3: On bringing out the b.

668
00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 2: And the narrator says the pain for I would say

669
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,679
a good five seconds. He stretches that word out.

670
00:41:56,559 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 3: It is really something.

671
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: It's like he had to take a real deep breath

672
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:02,599
before that delivery.

673
00:42:03,039 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 3: It was.

674
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:14,519
Speaker 2: Oh God, and also right here, all he ever wanted

675
00:42:14,599 --> 00:42:17,039
was to gain, But right now he'll settle on bringing

676
00:42:17,119 --> 00:42:19,400
out the pain. I feel like it really should have

677
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,320
just been bringing the pain. That's the saying, right, I'm

678
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,119
gonna bring the pain. It's not I'm bringing out the pain.

679
00:42:27,039 --> 00:42:29,039
I just I've got some notes for you. That's all

680
00:42:29,079 --> 00:42:29,519
I'm saying.

681
00:42:29,559 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 3: Apologies.

682
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,159
Speaker 2: I just feel like there were a few things here

683
00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:35,480
that I get what you're doing, but probably could have

684
00:42:35,559 --> 00:42:36,559
tightened it up a little bit.

685
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,039
Speaker 1: So this.

686
00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Emhon is in the chat, Michael says, is the

687
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,320
hord Or and more too horrifying because she seemed to

688
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,320
have kept most of her faculties or this one where

689
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:56,119
they clearly fucked with his head. I say the first agree.

690
00:42:56,599 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 3: Now, look, I'm gonna be honest with you.

691
00:42:59,079 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 2: Part of me feeling this way is that I am

692
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,599
also a fat woman who is forty years old. So

693
00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:08,559
I just identified more with the hoarder, which is unfortunate.

694
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,079
But also she was able to say too much and

695
00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:18,199
it was so much more upsetting. It's still upsetting here

696
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,519
when he is saying like, hey, no it hurts.

697
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 3: I just.

698
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,519
Speaker 2: Have rarely played video games where people are like crying

699
00:43:29,599 --> 00:43:32,480
for mercy while you kill them. It's not something that

700
00:43:32,639 --> 00:43:35,280
usually happens in the games that I play, or the

701
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,440
characters that I choose to play and the paths that

702
00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:44,320
I choose within the game. So even though this guy

703
00:43:45,079 --> 00:43:48,800
was like he is mixed with another creature, they have

704
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:55,360
made him actively less human. That helped, but it did

705
00:43:55,480 --> 00:44:06,760
not totally undo how I was feeling. And this dude's like, whole, bro,

706
00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:08,400
the monstrosity croaked.

707
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:09,599
Speaker 3: I need a spot, bro.

708
00:44:10,559 --> 00:44:14,639
Speaker 2: And then he like chucks a fucking weight from the

709
00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:20,199
It's not like a dumb bell. He throws like what

710
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,679
are called plates that you put on a barbell.

711
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,159
Speaker 3: Those weights. I have a bunch of those right over here.

712
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: Mine are pink and there's some guys look just off

713
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,239
topic really quick. But I have had my eye on

714
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:38,760
these plates that are decorated to look like donuts with

715
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,239
sprinkles for so long, and I have been like wanting

716
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,599
to buy them, and they're just I.

717
00:44:43,559 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 3: Don't need them.

718
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 2: I can work out with the ones that I have,

719
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,719
and I am, but I do. I do want them

720
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,960
very very badly. And I understand the irony of wanting

721
00:44:52,199 --> 00:44:55,880
to lose weight and lift weights that look like donuts,

722
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,480
but I don't care, and I stand by it. So

723
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:06,639
long story short, this dude comes very very very close

724
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:11,239
to killing Carl, and Dona is required to jump in

725
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:17,679
here and the description of her attacking I'm trying to

726
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:23,800
find the spot here. She emerged flying through the air,

727
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,599
claws out like a tiger pouncing on unsuspecting prey. She

728
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,480
landed directly on the monster's massive, bulbous shoulder, and she

729
00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:34,400
bit down hard on his vein covered neck as her

730
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,800
rear legs scrabble at his back. Tendrils of green and

731
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,440
red tissue went flying as if she were a potato

732
00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:51,119
peeler gone haywire. That was some real imagery there, that

733
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,440
like she's a potato peel like that. I don't know why,

734
00:45:53,679 --> 00:45:56,320
but guys, that is embedded in my brain and I'm

735
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:03,719
just like, oh God. But like she manages to do

736
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,880
enough damage here that it kills this thing because of

737
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:11,760
blood loss. Right, she does some here, but he tosses

738
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,440
her off like she's nothing, and she comes so close

739
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,400
to death. I wasn't worried, I'll be honest. I was

740
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:23,079
sure she was going to be fine, but it was

741
00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:25,719
on my mind that he has these pet biscuits and

742
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,679
is he going to have to rescue her by giving

743
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,559
her one? And will that change who she is? And

744
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,400
that doesn't wind up being an issue, but I wonder

745
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,239
if that's going to be how things go at some

746
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:44,119
point later, you know. So he gets all of these

747
00:46:44,159 --> 00:46:48,960
like achievements because they killed the thing as he's trying

748
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,960
to like heal her, and so he's getting very irritated

749
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,199
because they're taking up his screen. And then I had

750
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,159
a scroll of heal critter. I read it, but it

751
00:46:59,199 --> 00:47:02,199
didn't work on her. The scroll evaporated for my menu

752
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,360
with an error message no valid target available.

753
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 3: You just wasted a.

754
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,559
Speaker 2: Valuable scroll, demass. I couldn't cast my heel spell on her,

755
00:47:10,599 --> 00:47:12,679
even if I did have enough man of points, which

756
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,000
I didn't. So I'm assuming that the way this would

757
00:47:16,039 --> 00:47:17,960
have worked is that he would have to give her

758
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:20,559
the scroll and she would have to read it and

759
00:47:20,599 --> 00:47:24,800
it would work on her rights. That's why it says

760
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,960
no valid target available. It's just weird to me that

761
00:47:28,039 --> 00:47:31,840
he would have a scroll called Heel Critter. This is

762
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,800
what's making me wonder about her being a pet anymore?

763
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,159
Would that have worked on her if she were still

764
00:47:38,199 --> 00:47:43,039
classified as a pet. Like, I'm just trying to figure

765
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:45,920
out exactly what it is about the situation that made

766
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:51,280
this not work. Michael says, I've tried to do evil

767
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:52,920
runs in games and couldn't do it.

768
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 3: Agree, I can't. I never can.

769
00:47:55,119 --> 00:47:58,679
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's not real, I just can't.

770
00:47:59,079 --> 00:48:02,119
He doesn't have any more enhanced pet biscuits, just normal ones.

771
00:48:02,119 --> 00:48:05,119
He only got the one from the legendary box. Oh shit,

772
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,400
I thought that box had like a bunch of them

773
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:14,039
in there. Oh. I completely misunderstood how that was going. Okay,

774
00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:19,280
So I've been like operating under this assumption that this

775
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,559
is going to change her permanently in some way again,

776
00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:25,320
but if she gets changed, it's going to be.

777
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,159
Speaker 3: A different thing.

778
00:48:26,599 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for clearing that up, Michael, because I

779
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:33,559
definitely have thought that he had more than that. And

780
00:48:33,679 --> 00:48:36,440
Rob says, no valid target because she's not a critter anymore. Okay, yeah,

781
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,519
that's what I was thinking. She five hundred regular biscuits,

782
00:48:40,599 --> 00:48:44,760
one enhanced. Okay, that's probably one of those moments where

783
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,400
listening to the audiobook gets me a little bit confused.

784
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,800
So here he's like, thinking, maybe I can give her

785
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,199
a healing potion, and he remembers that her bar because

786
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,400
there's like a timer cool down between taking healing pots.

787
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,360
He remembers her being longer than his, and he's like,

788
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:07,039
what can happen if you take them too close together?

789
00:49:07,079 --> 00:49:10,639
So he tests it out for himself and he gets

790
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,559
you've been poisoned. So he realizes, like, I can't give

791
00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:15,760
her another one because that would kill her because her

792
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:21,280
health bar is so low. And then finally there's this

793
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,000
cracking sound as her leg sets itself, and all of

794
00:49:25,039 --> 00:49:27,719
a sudden, her health bar starts to crawl upward again.

795
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,440
And I love this. The way that this narrator does

796
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,679
this is very funny because he kind of gives her

797
00:49:36,119 --> 00:49:40,360
almost like an accent here out of nowhere. She's had

798
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:46,239
just almost a British accent sometimes, and I say British,

799
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,440
eh kind of, not even really, but like this here,

800
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:57,320
I have been grievously injured in battle. In saving you,

801
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,079
I have made the ultimate sacrifice. I can feel my

802
00:50:01,159 --> 00:50:05,360
life fading away, Karl. I'm circling that last bend into

803
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:05,800
the drain.

804
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 3: This is the end.

805
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: I used my claws, like you said, and I have

806
00:50:12,119 --> 00:50:16,519
perished as a result. Miss Beatrice is going to be

807
00:50:16,679 --> 00:50:18,159
most displeased with you.

808
00:50:19,519 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 3: I mean, this is gold.

809
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:26,119
Speaker 2: Tell Ferdinand, tell him I loved him. I loved him

810
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:32,079
ever since I first saw him. And then this mortal

811
00:50:32,159 --> 00:50:38,000
coil is shit, and he's just like, all right, all right,

812
00:50:38,119 --> 00:50:38,880
get the fuck up.

813
00:50:39,039 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 3: Enough of this.

814
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 2: I love it so much, oh God. So I spent

815
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,679
some time grabbing all the weight equipment I could carry.

816
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,199
Free weights and dumbbells littered the room. I took them all.

817
00:50:58,679 --> 00:51:01,280
I grabbed multiple weight bends, which weighed nothing. Once I

818
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,760
removed the bars, I broke down a door I hadn't

819
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,679
noticed earlier, and within where several mats and heavy medicine

820
00:51:06,679 --> 00:51:09,280
balls and various pieces of broken gym equipment, along with

821
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,960
some wrenches and other tools all into the inventory, including

822
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,559
the broken door. I then took everything off the office

823
00:51:15,559 --> 00:51:18,639
counter on the receptionist desks, including a laptop with a

824
00:51:18,679 --> 00:51:22,760
dead battery and a cabinet filled with paper files. Why

825
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:27,400
are you even bothering, Donut, asked, having fully recovered. If

826
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,400
we can lift it, then we can take it. It

827
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,440
only takes a second. The system is really good about

828
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,199
categorizing it all. For some things like that cabinet, it's

829
00:51:35,199 --> 00:51:36,760
faster to pick up the whole thing and add everything

830
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,760
into the inventory than to search it. For example, I

831
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,199
held out my hand and a half full bottle of

832
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,079
Johnny Walker black appeared. This was hidden in that cabinet somewhere.

833
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,679
The inventory system lets me keep it all together, and

834
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,119
it lets me take things out of it too.

835
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 3: It's great once you figure out how to work it.

836
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,199
Speaker 2: We don't know what will be useful and when, so

837
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,159
if it's not bolted to the ground, it's going in

838
00:51:56,199 --> 00:52:00,960
the bag. This is, in my opinion, the core attitude

839
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,800
to have. If you don't have a limit on your inventory,

840
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,000
why the fuck wouldn't you take everything that you can

841
00:52:06,559 --> 00:52:09,639
One you can sell things. Two What if you managed

842
00:52:09,679 --> 00:52:13,679
to get into a floor that stays open for a

843
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:18,599
really long time, and you got all this stuff so

844
00:52:18,599 --> 00:52:21,719
that you can train, You can do weightlifting and stuff

845
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,320
to actually like maybe physically make yourself stronger somehow. I

846
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,280
don't know what that effects when the game has so

847
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:33,679
many buffs and what not built into your equipment, but like,

848
00:52:34,159 --> 00:52:37,480
I could see this stuff being really useful in a

849
00:52:37,559 --> 00:52:41,039
variety of ways. Also, I will remind you guys that

850
00:52:41,159 --> 00:52:45,800
I related strongly to the Horder character, so I guess

851
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,400
it's probably no surprise that that is the direction that

852
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,719
I am going in here. But I will say that

853
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,679
the weight limit in Skyrim was my mortal nemesis while

854
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:01,079
I was playing that game, having to drop stuff bummed

855
00:53:01,119 --> 00:53:05,119
me out so bad, And like, it's the half of

856
00:53:05,159 --> 00:53:09,480
it is just like a wooden plate, a heel of bread.

857
00:53:10,079 --> 00:53:14,920
It's not likely to be that useful, but you never know.

858
00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:17,639
The difficulty in that game as well is if you

859
00:53:17,679 --> 00:53:21,119
go to sell shit, the vendor that you're dealing with

860
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,679
has a limited amount of gold to spend, and so

861
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,400
even if you've got a ton of shit in your

862
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,079
inventory to sell, you can only sell so much of

863
00:53:30,119 --> 00:53:32,400
it before they literally run out of money, and then

864
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,119
you have to find a different person to go sell to.

865
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,719
I don't know if that's how this is going to

866
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,719
work in this game, or if he can just take

867
00:53:39,079 --> 00:53:41,119
almost everything out and sell it all at once. You know,

868
00:53:41,679 --> 00:53:44,440
I don't know, because the inventory is different for him.

869
00:53:44,519 --> 00:53:47,320
I have to assume that the selling will operate differently.

870
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,079
Speaker 3: But it may be the same.

871
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:55,559
Speaker 2: So yeah, this whole like take everything because you never know.

872
00:53:56,519 --> 00:53:59,679
I mean, they are coming across some really weird shit

873
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,880
in this game. I just don't think there's any way

874
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,920
to predict the kinds of bosses or monsters or.

875
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 3: Just different areas of the.

876
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:16,559
Speaker 2: Map, and you never know what could come in handy.

877
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:23,719
So then they go see Mordecai and he goes over

878
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:29,199
their fight and decides to tell them how they could

879
00:54:29,199 --> 00:54:34,360
have improved the whole thing. He says, the Goblin boss

880
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,480
is pretty tough, so the killing him the way that

881
00:54:38,559 --> 00:54:43,039
you did brilliant. And then the juicer that's a new thing.

882
00:54:46,119 --> 00:54:49,119
Programs about your culture are reaching all corners of the galaxy.

883
00:54:49,159 --> 00:54:51,559
The bosses are part of that. It's like this every season.

884
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,360
When you hit it with that heavyweight, you did the

885
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,400
same amount of damage as you would have with your fist.

886
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,880
You need to understand how powerful your bare knuckle skill

887
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,960
is become. It's just as good right now as any

888
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,760
unenchanted weapon you may find. I understand it's not convenient sometimes,

889
00:55:08,039 --> 00:55:11,360
but I recommend sticking with a bare hand attack. Also,

890
00:55:11,679 --> 00:55:14,320
you wasted the confusing fog scrolls. Next time, have the

891
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,199
party member with the highest intelligence read any scrolls. Yours

892
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,199
made it last fifteen seconds hers, it would have lasted

893
00:55:21,199 --> 00:55:25,760
one hundred and twenty seconds. Her shred attack is very powerful,

894
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,159
but it's useless unless she gains more armor and more health.

895
00:55:29,199 --> 00:55:32,639
You're lucky she hadn't broken her neck. Picking a class

896
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,079
or a race with a high base constitution will help,

897
00:55:35,119 --> 00:55:37,599
but not much. She needs to load up on items

898
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:39,840
that enhance it, and those tend to be less.

899
00:55:39,679 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 3: Common, so.

900
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: She is.

901
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 2: This is when she says that she's not changing from

902
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:53,079
a cat. She demands that Carl change into a cat,

903
00:55:53,119 --> 00:55:55,280
and he's like, yeah, that's not happening. In fact, I've

904
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,280
decided to stick with human, so that's what I'm gonna be.

905
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,320
And then she gets a spell called puddle Jumper. She

906
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,000
can teleport herself and up to three others to somewhere

907
00:56:06,039 --> 00:56:10,039
else within her line of sight. It will be especially

908
00:56:10,159 --> 00:56:13,199
useful if you come across rivers of lava or other

909
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,639
impassable locations. Higher levels of the spell allow her to

910
00:56:17,679 --> 00:56:20,679
go further. If she manages to hit level fifteen, it

911
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,000
works almost as well as teleport, one of the most

912
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,639
powerful important spells to have in the dungeon. Twenty minute

913
00:56:26,639 --> 00:56:28,480
a cast and a tight and second delay and a

914
00:56:28,519 --> 00:56:32,679
five hour cool down. It's not good as a combat

915
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,679
spell with that long of a delay, but it's still

916
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:39,079
great to have. And He's like, all right, well, healing though,

917
00:56:39,079 --> 00:56:43,800
we need to focus on that. And Mordecai is like, well,

918
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,239
you've got heel scrolls and I bet you're about to

919
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,440
get some more. But stop letting her use melee attacks

920
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:54,760
unless it's totally necessary. Her strength stat is phenomenal for

921
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:59,719
this floor, but it'll catch up to her later. She's

922
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,320
in the wrong body to properly utilize that stat for

923
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,920
hand to hand combat. Plus, our health is simply too low.

924
00:57:05,559 --> 00:57:08,719
Your dodge skill is level four, keep working on it.

925
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,199
Once it hits five, it'll be much easier for you.

926
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:21,840
So then he mentions the Burrow boss to Mordecai, and uh,

927
00:57:22,519 --> 00:57:24,679
Mordecai is just like, you need to just find a

928
00:57:24,679 --> 00:57:27,480
different set of stairs there. Most of them aren't going

929
00:57:27,519 --> 00:57:28,039
to be guarded.

930
00:57:28,119 --> 00:57:29,159
Speaker 3: Just go somewhere else.

931
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 2: And he's like, dude, I don't think we're going to

932
00:57:33,039 --> 00:57:37,239
find another set of stairs. We like traveled all over

933
00:57:37,559 --> 00:57:39,320
and this is the only one that we came across.

934
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,960
I think this is it. Do you have any tips?

935
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,920
And Mordecai is like, first of all, I'm not allowed

936
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,360
to tell you anything like that because it's considered cheating.

937
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:54,960
But and then he talks about how every boss has

938
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,639
their own particular weakness that is exploitable if you're like

939
00:57:59,679 --> 00:58:06,639
really paying attention to how they worked, and he you know,

940
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,159
with the Lama, it was his throat. With the Juicer,

941
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,159
it was the bite to the neck, which makes sense

942
00:58:15,159 --> 00:58:20,760
because his veins were like really prominent. Mordecai points out

943
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,440
that the hoarder, she had the bugs coming out of

944
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,239
her mouth, and if they had killed one before it

945
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,360
actually came out, she would have choked to death on it,

946
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,599
and that would have killed her, which is so hideous.

947
00:58:31,639 --> 00:58:36,400
You guys just like just you know, like, oh my god.

948
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:42,559
But and he says, there have been clues every time,

949
00:58:42,639 --> 00:58:49,800
there will always be clues, and he gets a gold

950
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:56,599
Brawler Box, a pile of Ninja Stars and Chanted sure

951
00:58:56,639 --> 00:59:03,239
a kin of Bloodless times one hundred and when it

952
00:59:03,239 --> 00:59:05,280
says the damage increases by eight percent, does that mean

953
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:09,239
from the original mount or compounded? And Mordecai comes back,

954
00:59:09,639 --> 00:59:11,599
like he goes off in his head for a second

955
00:59:11,639 --> 00:59:14,039
and comes back and he's like compounded. So that's pretty

956
00:59:14,079 --> 00:59:20,880
damn good, But they are really really fragile. The Golden

957
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,719
Looter Box contained yet another skill potion, a determined value

958
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,159
skill Tonic. I drank it, leveling the skill up to two.

959
00:59:27,239 --> 00:59:30,000
I couldn't see a difference in the menu. The Brawler

960
00:59:30,039 --> 00:59:33,440
Box contained the best of the lot, enchanted War Gauntlet

961
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:38,079
of the Exalted Groll plus three in strength in fist

962
00:59:38,159 --> 00:59:42,320
mode only, plus one Dexterity, plus two skill levels Iron

963
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,159
Punch skill plus one two skill level of Powerful Strike.

964
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,360
A wrist bracer that transforms into a spiked war gauntlet

965
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,960
of Orchiesh Steel when the hand is shaped into a fist.

966
00:59:54,559 --> 00:59:59,800
Remove this item before you jerk off, which did crack

967
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,519
me out? If you use this weapon to strike adherents

968
01:00:03,559 --> 01:00:06,199
of the war god Grol, you have a one point

969
01:00:06,239 --> 01:00:10,039
five percent chance to transfigure your target into the deity himself.

970
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:11,840
Trust me on this.

971
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,519
Speaker 3: You don't want to do that.

972
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 2: So he asks about telling who worships grow Mordecai explains

973
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:25,119
that equine creatures worship, and also they often have blue

974
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,760
paint on their faces, and that's a giveaway. And then

975
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:33,320
he says, and he's really careful, just so you know,

976
01:00:34,119 --> 01:00:38,079
Grol isn't a real god. There are no real gods

977
01:00:38,159 --> 01:00:38,960
in this game.

978
01:00:41,079 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 3: You said you.

979
01:00:42,519 --> 01:00:45,239
Speaker 2: Worry that some of these bosses and mobs are like

980
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:50,079
you here against their will. That's not always going to

981
01:00:50,119 --> 01:00:55,239
be the case, especially later on. Remember that there are

982
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,840
no gods here, just those who pay.

983
01:00:58,719 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 3: For the privilege.

984
01:01:01,199 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 2: And I am thinking what he's trying to tell him

985
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,760
might have been more relevant if Karl had been somebody

986
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,880
we knew was explicitly religious, because what I'm getting from

987
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,639
this is that maybe there are people like who are

988
01:01:17,679 --> 01:01:20,360
religious who get tricked into doing things because a god

989
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,039
they believe in is being mimicked in the game, and

990
01:01:23,079 --> 01:01:25,599
they think they're doing something that God is telling them

991
01:01:25,639 --> 01:01:29,400
to do, when really it's just some asshole who gets

992
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:33,280
to play Christ for the day, you know, But I

993
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:37,840
don't know, it might be a whole different thing. Oh

994
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,360
my God, you guys, I'm so sorry. I'm just realizing

995
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,320
that I am at an hour already and I haven't

996
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:47,320
even gotten to the final chapter here. Honestly, though, this

997
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,559
chapter is like, it's a boss fight, but there is

998
01:01:50,679 --> 01:01:55,960
just so much fighting, and I feel like this is

999
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:02,320
something that's very easy to talk about quickly. So they

1000
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,960
watch the next episode of the game and are not

1001
01:02:07,159 --> 01:02:11,519
featured again, which obviously Donut is really pissed about, but

1002
01:02:12,239 --> 01:02:14,599
we kind of have skipped over that and go right

1003
01:02:14,679 --> 01:02:19,119
into them entering the area where the boss is. Agatha

1004
01:02:19,559 --> 01:02:24,440
refuses to be left behind, and she says something like,

1005
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,239
I think that roly POLYI is the one that's going

1006
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,199
to get us all killed. And I'm assuming she's talking

1007
01:02:28,239 --> 01:02:32,519
about Brandon because he's chubby, but I'm not positive that's

1008
01:02:32,519 --> 01:02:33,199
what she meant.

1009
01:02:33,239 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 3: I think that's what she means.

1010
01:02:37,519 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: And they see this thing rolling around and they finally

1011
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:47,679
get the Ball of Swine, one of the rarest most

1012
01:02:47,719 --> 01:02:52,039
deadly battle formations of the Tuskling Thirty Tuskeling Knights and

1013
01:02:52,079 --> 01:02:57,480
their Lady Loves combine a gathering of Tuskling aristocracy at

1014
01:02:57,519 --> 01:03:02,559
an alcohol fueled, sexually charged orgy of war, lust and sometimes,

1015
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:07,079
just sometimes, the wild ancient battle magic that permeates their

1016
01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:12,440
war torn world casts the spell forming the ball. This

1017
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,760
particular ball has been transferred here for your entertainment. The

1018
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,519
magic won't allow them to stop until every last drop

1019
01:03:19,519 --> 01:03:23,000
of crawler blood is squeezed right out of their human bodies.

1020
01:03:23,039 --> 01:03:25,960
And I love later donuts, like, ugh, why is that

1021
01:03:26,079 --> 01:03:29,239
as human bodies? Why can it be blood squeezed out

1022
01:03:29,239 --> 01:03:32,239
of their human and feline bodies? Which, you know what,

1023
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,159
she has a really good point. We need to work

1024
01:03:34,199 --> 01:03:40,719
on our inclusion and our language. So this thing is just,

1025
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,760
oh my god, it held a oh.

1026
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,039
Speaker 3: She was referring to the.

1027
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 2: Boss as Michael because it's rolling. I swear to god,

1028
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,119
I can't believe that. I didn't even think of that.

1029
01:03:50,119 --> 01:03:52,800
That is so funny. Michael also says the description of

1030
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,719
throwing stars was hilarious. Was absolutely my experience with my

1031
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,320
mom back in the day when she bought me some

1032
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:01,159
of them. I did to read that, but I saw

1033
01:04:01,199 --> 01:04:03,599
that I was running out of time. And I also

1034
01:04:03,679 --> 01:04:06,000
kind of want to ask my husband if he ever

1035
01:04:06,039 --> 01:04:07,679
got any, because I feel like that would also be

1036
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:17,679
his exact experience. So they are like approaching this thing

1037
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,760
and they have this plan that they have put together.

1038
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,679
I pulled the heavy Goblin table from my inventory and

1039
01:04:25,719 --> 01:04:28,360
placed it on its side all around me. The others

1040
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,920
went to work. We've been practicing this for hours. We'd

1041
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,360
gotten it down to less than twenty seconds, and another

1042
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,079
twenty to pull it for the main structure, and another

1043
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:41,400
twenty to put it all together. And they have made

1044
01:04:42,039 --> 01:04:45,960
this thing that Brandon is calling the speed bump. Him

1045
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,239
and his brother, it turns out, aren't nurses. They are

1046
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,440
maintenance guys, and they know all kinds of shit, and

1047
01:04:53,519 --> 01:04:55,880
so they have some tools and they are able to

1048
01:04:56,239 --> 01:04:59,079
put a lot of things together, which is really really handy.

1049
01:05:01,119 --> 01:05:04,519
The goblins had hand cranked drills and toothed bolts designed

1050
01:05:04,519 --> 01:05:08,239
to screw into the holes they created. Brandon and Imani

1051
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,360
had received items that gave them boost to their strength.

1052
01:05:13,719 --> 01:05:15,440
This is just like something they do on that show

1053
01:05:15,519 --> 01:05:18,280
The A Team. Doughnut had exclaimed, but maybe mc guiver.

1054
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,239
Once the top was bolted into place, Brandon, Imani and

1055
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:24,760
I drove to the last crucial moved to the last

1056
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,880
crucial part. The braces for the roof five heavy duty

1057
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,679
barbell poles designed to hold more than a thousand pounds

1058
01:05:32,719 --> 01:05:35,239
of weight each. I discovered if I held my hand

1059
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,760
in just the correct place and called the heavy pole

1060
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,599
from inventory, it wedged itself perfectly between the roof and

1061
01:05:41,639 --> 01:05:47,480
the ground, solid as a concrete pillar. I love these hacks.

1062
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,400
I really hope that this isn't the sort of thing

1063
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:56,880
that gets patched later, so it's coming at them. If

1064
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:00,239
the boss had any sort of fire or lightning or

1065
01:06:00,239 --> 01:06:05,039
asset attack, we were absolutely fucked. So far, it seemed

1066
01:06:05,239 --> 01:06:08,000
each boss only had one main attack, and this one's

1067
01:06:08,079 --> 01:06:11,039
was pretty obvious. It rolled right the fuck over you.

1068
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:17,960
So he describes being in a car with his parents

1069
01:06:18,039 --> 01:06:20,519
fighting and how he climbed to the back as far

1070
01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:21,800
as away from them as he could.

1071
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 3: Get relatable.

1072
01:06:24,119 --> 01:06:26,039
Speaker 2: I didn't ever climb to the back because I wasn't

1073
01:06:26,039 --> 01:06:31,280
allowed to climb around the car. But I've definitely had

1074
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,519
like recurring nightmares that I'm in the backseat and my

1075
01:06:33,559 --> 01:06:35,559
parents are too busy fighting to see that we're going.

1076
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 3: Right off the road.

1077
01:06:39,519 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 2: The main cab of the truck tilted violently, broken away

1078
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,159
from the rest of the body. My dad heard the accident,

1079
01:06:45,199 --> 01:06:48,159
looked up into the rear view mirror, muttered, that's a shame.

1080
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,679
I just kept driving as my mom yelled at him

1081
01:06:50,719 --> 01:06:51,199
to stop.

1082
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 3: He didn't.

1083
01:06:53,519 --> 01:06:59,079
Speaker 2: I this is so funny. This dude is riding their

1084
01:06:59,159 --> 01:07:02,599
ass and gets the top of his truck like just

1085
01:07:03,039 --> 01:07:05,880
sliced off because he goes under an overpass that is

1086
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:10,039
too low, and honestly, as much as I can understand

1087
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,559
being like we have to stop and help him if

1088
01:07:13,599 --> 01:07:16,199
he is on your ass like that, I really can't

1089
01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:18,119
even be that mad at his dad for not stopping.

1090
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,840
Like you are risking your life and everybody else is

1091
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,800
when you tailgate like that. Sorry about it. Life comes

1092
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,199
at you fast, bruh. I mean, you know, I have

1093
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:34,000
very little tolerance for people who drive in a really

1094
01:07:34,039 --> 01:07:38,760
agro manner. I find it to be extremely shortsighted in

1095
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,559
the way I have described a number of other things

1096
01:07:40,599 --> 01:07:43,079
where it's just you are screwing yourself. How do you

1097
01:07:43,159 --> 01:07:43,800
not see it?

1098
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:44,119
Speaker 3: You know?

1099
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 2: Anyways, And I'm just like, I want to talk about this.

1100
01:07:53,119 --> 01:07:54,119
You know what I'm gonna do, guys.

1101
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 3: I Am going to.

1102
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,679
Speaker 2: Describe this fight a little bit more depth in the

1103
01:08:00,719 --> 01:08:05,239
next episode. But I am like ten minutes over almost

1104
01:08:05,719 --> 01:08:08,360
seven minutes, and I just really don't want this to

1105
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:09,440
be too too long.

1106
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,679
Speaker 3: But I'm just gonna give just a couple of extra minutes.

1107
01:08:12,719 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Despite their fragility, we'd use several of the stars

1108
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,239
to create the spike strips, nothing more than a pair

1109
01:08:22,279 --> 01:08:25,039
of stars placed between two pieces of bolted together wood.

1110
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,640
The strips wouldn't be stopping the monster by themselves, but

1111
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,079
each time it rolled over one, the amount of damage

1112
01:08:31,119 --> 01:08:34,239
inflicted on the boss would increase by eight percent, which

1113
01:08:34,279 --> 01:08:39,199
is a very very clever tactic. The entire structure shuddered

1114
01:08:39,199 --> 01:08:42,000
and slid with a horrifying screech. All four of the

1115
01:08:42,039 --> 01:08:45,000
ceiling braces popped out of place and went flying. One

1116
01:08:45,079 --> 01:08:48,560
bounced hard off Yolanda, throwing her over. The terrible stench

1117
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,720
filled the now dark chamber, and unending, high pitched squealing

1118
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:57,279
filled the air. And so they're stabbing at the thing,

1119
01:08:57,359 --> 01:09:01,199
and like, what we eventually see is that the tusklings

1120
01:09:01,239 --> 01:09:03,720
have all come apart from each other and are no

1121
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,680
longer in a ball, which means that they are like defenseless, and.

1122
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:12,279
Speaker 3: It's really awful.

1123
01:09:15,079 --> 01:09:21,399
Speaker 2: They're in fancy dress. They are wearing tuxedos and gowns.

1124
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:29,640
They are holding like champagne glasses and whatnot. Let's see

1125
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,800
The men were all level four and the women were

1126
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,680
all Level five. This one was slightly taller and fatter.

1127
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,479
She wore a glittering red gown with multiple leather straps

1128
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:38,840
looped over and around her.

1129
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:39,319
Speaker 3: Like a vest.

1130
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 2: It was like some sort of weird bed sm get up.

1131
01:09:42,119 --> 01:09:45,640
She too, was looking around, dazed and screaming in confusion.

1132
01:09:46,079 --> 01:09:48,159
It seemed like they had no memories of their time

1133
01:09:48,199 --> 01:09:50,760
in the pig ball. They were victims, just as their

1134
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,800
other bosses had been, but their dots were red. Time

1135
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:59,520
was running out and they weren't human, and a part

1136
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,520
of me is like, hmmm, are you sure? I just

1137
01:10:03,279 --> 01:10:05,319
considering what they can do, I'm like, I don't know

1138
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,880
who is and isn't, and like does it matter that

1139
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:08,239
they're not?

1140
01:10:09,319 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 1: You know?

1141
01:10:13,039 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 2: I kicked at her, savagely, screaming, maybe crying. I kicked,

1142
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:22,000
and I kicked until her health bar went away, and

1143
01:10:23,239 --> 01:10:27,039
Agatha winds up getting hit, But she is, like it

1144
01:10:27,079 --> 01:10:31,920
seems otherwise, not really in immediate danger. The purple hued

1145
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,760
arena spread around us, the size of an entire quadrant.

1146
01:10:35,079 --> 01:10:37,960
The music still beat, colorful lasers shot through the space

1147
01:10:38,039 --> 01:10:40,760
like we were in a massive nineteen eighties themed roller rink.

1148
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,560
I knew exactly what had to be done to get

1149
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:44,840
the force field to drop.

1150
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:46,520
Speaker 3: There were more of the.

1151
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 2: Tusklings than there were of us, but they were shocked

1152
01:10:49,119 --> 01:10:51,960
and confused having been transported from their own world to

1153
01:10:52,039 --> 01:10:55,960
this place. They were weaponless, they were untrained, and they

1154
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,319
were slaughtered. And that is the end of the chapter.

1155
01:10:59,399 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 3: And it is pretty grim.

1156
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:09,039
Speaker 2: Kids. Yeah, I don't care for it. I just feel

1157
01:11:09,079 --> 01:11:10,960
really bad for them because they just don't know what's

1158
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,640
happening even you know, it just sucks.

1159
01:11:15,199 --> 01:11:16,159
Speaker 3: Everybody is just.

1160
01:11:19,039 --> 01:11:24,319
Speaker 2: Well, what else can be said? All right, friends, I'm

1161
01:11:24,319 --> 01:11:26,520
going to wrap this up since I'm so overtime, but

1162
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,039
I appreciate you all hanging out with me in the chat,

1163
01:11:29,399 --> 01:11:32,560
and thank you very much to Michael for commissioning this one.

1164
01:11:33,399 --> 01:11:35,479
And I hope you all are enjoying the coverage.

1165
01:11:36,239 --> 01:11:36,640
Speaker 1: Thank you.

1166
01:11:37,119 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 2: I really really do want to say, like it helps

1167
01:11:39,039 --> 01:11:40,439
so much when there are people in the chat. It

1168
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:44,439
just makes it feel like there's really someone listening to this,

1169
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,479
you know, because even though I know people do listen afterwards,

1170
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,039
it sometimes can feel like I'm just talking into the void.

1171
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 3: So it's appreciated.

1172
01:11:53,359 --> 01:12:21,319
Speaker 2: All right, guys, Until next time, did aally motherfuckers.

1173
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,119
Speaker 1: That was an unspoiled network. Pat
