1
00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: This is an unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:16,199
covering Dungeon Crawler Carl Book four Gate of the Feral Gods,

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:26,879
chapters eighteen, nineteen, and twenty. In this episode, I get

4
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:36,719
to talk about how to properly cook a fish. She's dead.

5
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,640
I hated her so much and she's dead and I'm

6
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:44,399
so happy. Ugh, there's other stuff that happens too, but like,

7
00:00:44,439 --> 00:01:07,000
come on, welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone.

8
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,719
I am Natasha. Thank you very much to Michael for

9
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,319
commissioning this episode. Oh, Michael's in the chat says, shout

10
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:18,120
out to Jackie for booking the next book. Sadly, my

11
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:23,239
break from book means crappy UI is over and over

12
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,799
is over and now I have to endure the pain

13
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:31,439
to commission book six. I I book dot means crappy UI.

14
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,120
I'm sorry, Michael, I'm not following. I don't know if

15
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,840
there was a typo in there or something. But I

16
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:42,680
also thank you Jackie for commissioning the next book. But uh,

17
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,079
I am you know. I know that I'm going to

18
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,599
catch up and that it's going to be a wait. Now,

19
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,920
this is the thing that happens even when something has

20
00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:58,920
been out for a while and has built up enough

21
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:02,879
books that I am getting into it after it's really

22
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:06,640
gotten its legs under it, inevitably I catch up, you know.

23
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:10,120
And this is going on with also the Bastian series,

24
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,840
which I really really enjoy, and the author had thought

25
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:18,439
he was going to have the next book out in July,

26
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,280
and now it's looking like it won't be till October.

27
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,520
And due to that weight, there was like, you know,

28
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,960
a delay with the commissioning, so I probably won't get

29
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,599
to start talking about it until January, which means I

30
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,039
will have almost gone a year between the last book.

31
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:42,439
In this book, Oh, Michael says, refer to the website

32
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,719
you use. Sadly, my break from book Got Me's Crappy

33
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,680
UI is over and now I have to inture okay,

34
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,879
got you? Yeah, I understand. It's one of those services

35
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,960
that you wouldn't think what I need is particularly specialized.

36
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:05,120
But I had to try eight different booking sites before

37
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,719
I found one that did what this one does, and

38
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,120
it was really annoying because I didn't always get that

39
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,919
it didn't work the way I needed until the mistake

40
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,240
was already in place. And then a huge headache to undo.

41
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,080
So that is why I have stayed with them. Many

42
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,280
of these things that I have to do with my

43
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,960
line of work rely on services that are not so reliable,

44
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:37,479
for example crowdcast, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

45
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:45,639
So Chapter eighteen begins with a note from Crawler Cooley,

46
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:52,639
and he is clearly intending to stage some sort of

47
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:57,319
attack on this interview that he is about to go on,

48
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:02,319
and it's broken up in part where at first he's

49
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,280
talking about how this view of my beautiful planet from

50
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:10,599
this ship will be my last view, and then later

51
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:13,240
on we get an update where it turns out that

52
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,680
the people he intended to harm weren't even actually physically there,

53
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:25,040
which is part of the reveal of Carl's plan. Part

54
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,439
of it is us finding out exactly how he was

55
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:33,079
able to ensure that Luita was there in the room

56
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,680
with him and not just a projection. So Carl, I

57
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,199
have some things cooking on my sapper's table. Let me

58
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:43,680
take care of them really quickly before you transfer us.

59
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:44,199
Speaker 2: Now.

60
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: Of course, after that entry from Cooley and Carl saying this,

61
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,519
it did have me thinking that he was planning something,

62
00:04:53,399 --> 00:05:00,120
but I wasn't fully getting it, and I was misunderstanding

63
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:08,000
in my suspicions, the intent behind doing certain things. So

64
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,920
he's got some smoke bombs that are like infusing in stuff.

65
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,600
One of them it doesn't work out, and the other

66
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:25,079
he gets hobgoblin disco ball Uh produces heavy, multi hued

67
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,120
billows of smoke that are both photosensitive and frequency responsive.

68
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,319
In case you don't know what that means, just set

69
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:34,920
one off and find out. The smoke will conceal all

70
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,560
movement within and the plumes will bounce to the beat,

71
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,680
which is rad as hell, like I really really really

72
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,439
want to see this. Unlike a regular smoke curtain, the

73
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:51,040
caster of this tossable is not immune to its effects.

74
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:53,839
In other words, you'll be just as blind as the monsters.

75
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,399
So you don't want to be dropping this thing at

76
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:57,439
your feet unless you find yourself to be the most

77
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:07,240
handsome dude at the orgy. And he puts the donut

78
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:14,519
robot on his sapper's table and it knocks the what

79
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:17,160
do you call it, the little smoke thing down onto

80
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:20,480
the floor and causes it to go off. Now what

81
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,399
I was sort of thinking here was that he was

82
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:28,439
using the smoke as a means of concealing something that

83
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,600
he was doing. But it turns out it's more than that.

84
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:36,920
It's also the residue of the smoke on the robot

85
00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:41,079
means that it can't be put on camera and thus

86
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,439
has to stay in the room with Loita later on.

87
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680
So I liked it. It wasn't as simple as what

88
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,600
I was thinking. That there was like more going on

89
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:57,360
even and this guy's pretty colors robot, Donut said. I

90
00:06:57,399 --> 00:06:59,480
felt the head turn around to face me in the

91
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,639
complete multi hued smokestorm. The voice went down and octave.

92
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,560
This is what we all see in the end. I'm

93
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,040
always here for you, Carl and you guys. This robot

94
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:21,240
occasionally lapsing into very unsettling statements is very funny. The

95
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:25,720
fact that she says pretty colors had me very arrested

96
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:29,600
for a moment, because, like, between this and her response

97
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:33,160
to some other things said around her later, I was

98
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:37,079
realizing this toy is a lot more interactive than previously.

99
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,560
She just used to say shit, you know, and now

100
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:46,199
she's actually formulating responses like AI, which is certainly more

101
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:51,959
fun because it's like specifically mostly within the framework of

102
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,839
what Donut would say. But you know, the way that

103
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:59,040
the voice actor is delivering these I had to say

104
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,680
this narrator. I actually accidentally ran across him on my

105
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,199
Facebook feed. I don't remember. It was a short video

106
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:14,079
of I think an early recording of him in Book two.

107
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,720
Maybe whatever it was I heard, I had heard before,

108
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,759
and it was fascinating to see him because he's on

109
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:27,759
camera and he's this Asian guy with like very little

110
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,519
expression on his face, busting out these lines and these

111
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:35,960
jumps between different voices. And there was something about how

112
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,360
dead pan he was while delivering these jokes that I

113
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:45,039
found really funny. It was just it was remarkable, It

114
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,799
really is. It's like the kind of thing that a

115
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,399
part of me. If I were to do something different,

116
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:52,399
I think I might try and get into voice acting

117
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:56,559
or you know, audiobook narration, because like, I'm pretty good

118
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,200
at doing the live audio for the show that I do.

119
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:04,120
Occasionally I stumble on my words, you know, as anybody

120
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:07,639
would who isn't really trained. But I think it would

121
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:15,000
be pretty fun to get into the voice thing. So anyway,

122
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,720
Loita transfers them to the little station, which I think

123
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:26,639
it was a submarine this time. Again right, this was

124
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,159
a nice middle quality trailer, but it was a submarine,

125
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,639
not a boat like the last time. Right, despite being

126
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,919
under the surface, this trailer was set up similar to

127
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,399
Odet's production trailer, with a green room and a doorway

128
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,919
to the studio. In fact, I realized this was the

129
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,440
exact same model, though the green room on this one

130
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,960
had a different layout and included a large picture window

131
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,960
that looked about the dark ocean. No snacks, Doughnut grumbled.

132
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,200
So this is when Carl sort of means over her

133
00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:00,440
and is looking out the window. I felt the water

134
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,720
from her rebreather splash against my leg, and I'm thinking,

135
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,639
if this were some other situation, I would be suspecting

136
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,879
him of like pickpocketing her right now, or of planting

137
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:18,799
something on her. But I knew that really couldn't be

138
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,840
the case here unless it was something from like his

139
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,720
sapper's table or you know. And even that, I was like,

140
00:10:25,639 --> 00:10:27,879
can he detonate that sort of thing remotely when it's

141
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:31,360
like on her person? Would that even work? So I

142
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:37,840
know something's up, but I'm not getting it. And he

143
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,159
asks about whether the trailers go into space or are

144
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:44,960
they all offloaded to offloaded to a large transport, and

145
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
she asks how that's his concern, and he's like, hey,

146
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:51,000
I don't know if you remember, but people tried to

147
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,919
assassinate us when we were on another show, So yeah,

148
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,360
I'm a bit concerned about security. She says, you know,

149
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,759
for such a famous crawler, you sure are a coward,

150
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:11,080
which the absolute gull. Just the trailer is shielded once

151
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,240
you arrive, nobody comes in or goes out until the

152
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:17,320
program is over again. You are safer here than you

153
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,080
are in the dungeon, I hope, so, I said, don't forget.

154
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,159
You're in here with us too. Her eyes widened, but

155
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,919
it was quick. She finally noticed the dust covered robot

156
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,879
donut under my arm. She let out a little gasp

157
00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:36,279
of despair. Oh you idiot, what did you do to

158
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,840
the product sample? So she gets in touch with them

159
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,799
via messenger and finds out that they have another one

160
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:49,360
and it's fine, but she is very, very cranky about this.

161
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:53,159
Read the script. If you can't think of anything to say,

162
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,399
do not be negative. This is not live, so don't

163
00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,480
think you're going to go changing the universe with your

164
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,000
bravado today. Anything stupid you say will be edited out

165
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:04,360
and we'll all be stuck in this can for longer.

166
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,399
I'll be watching the taping from in here. Do not

167
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,559
make me get up and go in there. I swear

168
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,080
to the gods, you will not be happy if I

169
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,960
have to go in there. So this leads to Carl

170
00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:25,399
straight up saying, why are you so angry all the time, Loyda,

171
00:12:25,799 --> 00:12:32,759
And she said, she answers him, You, your cat, your people,

172
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,000
your ugly culture. This is a cancer upon the bloom,

173
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,559
and we should not be doing this. We should not

174
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:44,200
be celebrating your culture, spreading your filth so the fry

175
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,200
may see celebrating. You're exterminating us and profiting on our ashes.

176
00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:52,279
If it were up to me, we'd simply exterminate you

177
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,120
and nothing else. You're filthy, you're dry, You're a rot

178
00:12:57,399 --> 00:13:02,960
upon the bloom. Donut swished her tail. You probably shouldn't

179
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,240
have become a pr agent, if that's how you really feel, Darling. Honestly,

180
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:07,960
I can't help but feel you don't have our best

181
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,120
interest at heart. This is why we worked so much

182
00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:13,039
better with Zev. She understood how to exploit our star

183
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:18,600
power that seemed to have struck a nerve Zev. What

184
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:21,000
you've done to Zev is the exact reason you are

185
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:25,519
so dangerous. She is young, she is impressionable. She is

186
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,639
the future of the Kuatine, the bloom. Her generation is

187
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,039
enraptured by the newest, shiniest thing. They do not trust

188
00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:36,720
in the concept of system, strength, of true unity, of

189
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:39,399
the great consensus. Do you know what we had to

190
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,759
do just to bring Zev back into the fold? Unspeakable

191
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:47,720
things to her mother and her aunt's. It was only

192
00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:50,519
then did she take the badge. We need to do

193
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,399
this to a whole generation now because of you, because

194
00:13:54,399 --> 00:14:02,399
of your filthy culture. Well, if you had, you know,

195
00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:06,639
just left us alone, you wouldn't have to worry about

196
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,480
she interrupted, pointing directly at Donut, who looked stricken. Your culture,

197
00:14:12,759 --> 00:14:17,840
your non unifying, defeatist, dry, multi organ diversified attempt at

198
00:14:17,879 --> 00:14:21,759
culture is a deadly contagion, and it must be treated

199
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,840
as such. After this crawl, after every single one of

200
00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:29,480
you drivermen is dead, the boring system will close its borders,

201
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,480
and only then will the reawakening occur. Only then will

202
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:41,679
we be free of this rot. This is bonkers, and

203
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,799
Donut just says it. It's just like this bitch crazy, huh.

204
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,679
It's really upsetting to hear her say we had to

205
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:51,320
do unspeakable things to her mother and aunt, because if

206
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,399
she says that they are unspeakable, it must be really bad,

207
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:59,399
it must be real, real bad, poor fucking zeb And

208
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,840
like I assumed that it was going to be something

209
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,519
like this. Honestly, the writing was very much on the wall,

210
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:09,080
like from before Zev even left, and the way that

211
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,080
she was talking about certain things, and the depression that

212
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,279
had clearly kind of come over her. But it's actually

213
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:24,200
being said now, and poor fucking Zev and the whole like,

214
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:27,480
as Carl points out, nobody asked you to come here.

215
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,679
All of this wouldn't even have been in your in,

216
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:37,039
you know. But they are evidently a conquering people who

217
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,240
feel compelled to exterminate and also evidently are broke as fuck,

218
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:45,720
like she's talking about, you know, eventually, once we do this,

219
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:48,559
the boring system will close its borders. And I can't

220
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,519
help but think, like, probably not. This is the thing

221
00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:59,159
about the way that a lot of bigotry works is

222
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:05,639
that the flames are fanned of that bigotry simply for profit.

223
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:12,279
Sharing increases, simply for money, and the people encouraging it,

224
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:14,200
it's not even like they believe any of it. They

225
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
just know there's a profit to be made from this,

226
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,240
and so they exploit that and it works, and then

227
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:25,440
the people who believe all of this is in service

228
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:32,000
to our eventual supremacy are genuinely surprised Pikachu face when

229
00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:36,840
that's not what they get. And it would be funny

230
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:40,879
if it weren't so sad and so predictable, you know.

231
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:45,840
But I can't help but think she's a fundamentalist, and

232
00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:49,320
they feed into this, but it's not really what it

233
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,559
is about. I think it's just purely we're doing this

234
00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:58,919
to make money. But will tell these psychos whatever we

235
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,799
need to tell them about how it's ultimately good for

236
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:04,680
like the supremacy of our people, as long as that

237
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,559
gets them to show up to work on time and

238
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:15,200
not call out and do overtime, you know. So they

239
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:17,480
go into their thing, and this is when we get

240
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,880
the update from Cooley. I have secreted bugbear paste in

241
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,559
my boots. I will detonate them while I am in orbit.

242
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,440
If this skill works, my blast shield should protect me

243
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,119
from the explosion. But if I blow the ship, it

244
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,519
won't matter. Think of me, brothers. It is little, but

245
00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:39,039
it is all I have. And to find out that

246
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,279
he did this and it didn't even result in doing

247
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:47,319
It's really that's the way so much rebellion goes. You know,

248
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,039
there are a lot of statements made that nobody ever

249
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:58,559
hears that really don't do much. But sometimes you got

250
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,559
to do shit for your own self, even if it

251
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:08,480
isn't accomplishing a greater purpose necessarily. The hosts of vera

252
00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:11,799
lux New Toys showcase were a pair of tall, giant

253
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:16,519
eyed alien soothers, the forsothed a man named Gravo and

254
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:19,720
a woman named Lyddy. I was beginning to realize these

255
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,680
soother guys were one of the most common types of

256
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:27,039
aliens in the universe, and they are wearing Gravo's dressed

257
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,559
like a cowboy with a sheriff thing on him. Lyddy

258
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,079
is dressed like a superhero. It's just very much like

259
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:41,759
if you were just trying to do the most generic

260
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,799
appeal to kids kind of look that you could do.

261
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:51,079
It's almost like we've got Buzz and Woody, but like,

262
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,880
obviously if Buzz weren't an astronaut and were just a

263
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:03,680
superhero type. It's got that same energy though, and the room,

264
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,480
you know, the whole way that this is set up

265
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:07,759
is a little different because they usually there's a studio

266
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:11,559
audience element and that's not happening here. The toys would

267
00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:13,799
supposedly appear on the table and we were supposed to

268
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:19,319
discuss how awesome they were. And Carl is like, do

269
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,519
you guys really think that this is the approach for

270
00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:25,079
selling these toys? And they're just like, yes, we do.

271
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,000
We have done a lot of research about it, and

272
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,160
they find out that this is a commercial that's going

273
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,799
to air in gas stations. Basically like the equivalent of that,

274
00:19:35,599 --> 00:19:39,119
which the fact that we live in a world now

275
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,160
where like you can't pump gas without getting ads. Of

276
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,519
course it depends. There are plenty of older gas stations

277
00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:46,519
that don't have this feature, but if you go to

278
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,720
like bigger chains, a lot of them are equipped with

279
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:54,200
screens and they feed you all kinds of ads while

280
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,000
you're pumping your gas. And if you've got air pods in,

281
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,119
it's fine, like you can just ignore it. But it's

282
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,319
just it's so ubiquitous that you get ads pumped into

283
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:09,799
your fucking eyeballs every chance they can get. And Lyddy

284
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,119
is a fan of donuts, so they talk about that

285
00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:15,799
a little bit and the fact that Donah is one

286
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:21,319
of only two favorites she uh favorites her and of

287
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,640
course LUCIMR because everybody has favorited LUCIMR, which honestly kind

288
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,319
of makes sense because she's just so unpredictable. I feel

289
00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:31,319
like I would have to know what she's going to

290
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:37,920
do next, you know. Sorry, robson the chat fascist governments

291
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,440
making poor financial decisions, color me shocked, sarahim says, I

292
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,519
get the impression Loita is the average Bloom Party member.

293
00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:47,640
They do seem to be just that committed to being

294
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,960
fascist assholes. There's a reason their government is on the

295
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,079
brink of financial collapse and had to rush out this crawl.

296
00:20:53,759 --> 00:20:59,039
The thing is that the average member doesn't necessarily represent

297
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:02,079
what the ultimate goal of a party is. Do you

298
00:21:02,079 --> 00:21:06,119
see what I'm saying? Like, the average person can believe

299
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,400
in what she does, but that's in service to something else.

300
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:15,519
So I don't think that the ultimate goal they're feeding

301
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:19,880
their average member is like the thing at all. But

302
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,839
I'm also just deeply suspicious of everybody at this point

303
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,759
in life. So whatever Rob says, but also coolly inspired

304
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:32,119
Carl two and then, as for why are alex is

305
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,519
spending all this money on something that seems unlikely to

306
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:36,920
ever make enough profit to be worth it. My thought.

307
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,079
My thought was they are just using it as a

308
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,680
means to funnel money to warrant indirectly. Any money they

309
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,599
make on the toys is just a nice bonus. Which

310
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:49,759
this is also where my mind was, was like, this

311
00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:53,799
is a money laundering thing. It's all just so odd

312
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,119
the way that it's set up. It felt very much

313
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,839
like what is this really? You know, it's a front

314
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,640
for something. Rob says that the ads on at gas

315
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,920
stations are not a thing in Canada, but I saw

316
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,640
the ads when we went to as to Arizona pre

317
00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:14,799
COVID and that was very culture shocking. Yeah, it's not awesome,

318
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,240
So let's see. Uh. Research indicates children prefer to have

319
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:26,119
a trusted adult speak down to their level and present

320
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,720
them with the best possible options. And like Carl has

321
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,599
to be like, Okay, you know what, I think he's

322
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,599
completely wrong, But why am I gonna argue with this guy?

323
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,519
Let them do what the fuck they want? And I

324
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:40,319
understand this impulse very much. And sometimes you've just got

325
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:43,480
to pick your fucking battles. So then we get another

326
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,400
note from Crawler Coolie. I have failed. I have blown

327
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,880
the ship. My skill indeed protected me, but the force

328
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,599
field has prevented it from fully breaking. The admins only

329
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,279
appeared to be with me. They were hollows. I was

330
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,759
fooled today and I am ashamed. Brothers. The gravity has failed,

331
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:03,920
the temperature is dropping, and it's getting difficult to breathe.

332
00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:06,400
I do not think they can remove me while the

333
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,519
force field remains. But I see my planet, my beloved Corux.

334
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,759
It shines and it warms me in this cold. I

335
00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:17,799
pray one day someone will avenge her for I cannot.

336
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,240
And uh yeah, just really heartbreaking. So then we go

337
00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:27,079
to the ad copy and it's very stilted and weird.

338
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:33,559
There is a mango doll that bites the donut doll

339
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,079
on the nose, which is fantastic, and they ask Carl

340
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,039
what his favorite feature is, and there's a paragraph that

341
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:44,160
he's supposed to read, but instead he's like, oh, I

342
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,039
was able to train the donut doll to do some tricks,

343
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:53,200
and the dude is clearly like about to be cut. Dude,

344
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,240
follow the fucking script, but instead Lyddy is like, no,

345
00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:01,920
he's bringing up something that might be you know, appeal

346
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,720
to folks, So let's do that. And he says, she

347
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:07,720
says the weirdest shit. But if I tell her to sit,

348
00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:09,880
she sits. If I tell her to follow, she follows.

349
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,480
She's much more compliant than the real donut. It's what

350
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:19,119
we all want, isn't it compliance? What's your parent company

351
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:24,000
called again, Veritin Linkage? Isn't that their thing? Stop rolling?

352
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,039
Gravo said. He turned on me. I don't know where

353
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:32,240
you heard that, but that's absolutely not true. Varitin is

354
00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:36,039
our parent company, yes, but we operate independently from them.

355
00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:39,759
I shrugged. It's not what I heard. Someone said, your

356
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:43,240
parent company advocates for slavery. People are saying there are

357
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:47,359
really trackers hidden in the toys. Carl, what are you doing?

358
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:51,960
Donna asked, just stick with the script, Okay, don't be

359
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:54,519
an imbecile. There's nothing you can say that I'll make

360
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:57,839
it onto air, so why bother nothing I can say?

361
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,119
And here the dungeons is another story, though, isn't it.

362
00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:04,000
What are you trying to say? You're trying to shake

363
00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:06,160
us down for a loop box? Is this a joke?

364
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:11,039
I had no idea if Veralux Toys had any sort

365
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:14,160
of sinister motives. With all this, Mordecai seemed to think

366
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,799
it was a money laundering operation or something. Honestly, I

367
00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:22,559
didn't care. This was dangerous, stupidly dangerous. I was gambling.

368
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,400
All of this was about to be forgotten. I just

369
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:31,160
needed Loita to get up off that damn couch. The

370
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,240
lights flickered, the two soothers disappeared, the floor shook, the

371
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:39,839
studio went black, then filled with red lights. A terrible

372
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,119
creaking noise filled the chamber, and of course Carl has

373
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,000
to be like, oh, what's happening? You know, I bolted

374
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,039
for the green room door. It irised open as I approached.

375
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,519
Smoke poured out through the hole, and he sees that

376
00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:00,880
there's a huge crack in the window and that it

377
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,440
hasn't ruptured yet, but it's like perhaps about too. The

378
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,039
blue force field was the only thing keeping the water out,

379
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:16,720
and he's thinking to himself, oh my god, that you know,

380
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:20,119
he's thinking, thank God, and then no, thank Coolly for

381
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:26,119
the information. The crumpled form of the dungeon admin had

382
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,960
been blown across the room and smashed against the wall.

383
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,599
Donut rushed to her. The small couwatine was missing her

384
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,359
left arm and both of her bottom legs. Her rebreather

385
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,839
miraculously still worked. Her entire fish body was blackened. She

386
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,000
looked as if she'd been flash fried in a pot

387
00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:49,279
of oil. But she wasn't dead. I felt my heart quicken.

388
00:26:50,079 --> 00:26:52,440
She couldn't just teleport away. They had to first lower

389
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,279
the shield. But if they lowered the shield, the window

390
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:59,240
would break and Donut and I would die instantly. Barrent

391
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,359
had to make a choice. I realized they could probably

392
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,799
heal her in seconds, but only if she teleported away,

393
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:11,680
save a low level admin or save their two highest

394
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:16,839
grossing crawlers. I looked down at the injured woman and smiled.

395
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:23,400
You you did this, Loita panted, What do you mean

396
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,519
it was an accident. The robot blew up. You're the

397
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:31,000
one who made them put that self destructed sequence in it.

398
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,720
I was in the other room. I have no idea

399
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:40,039
how it blew You saw how buggy that damn thing was.

400
00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:47,039
You won't win. The bloom will prevail. You will be forgotten.

401
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:52,200
No one likes melodrama, Loita I said, as the Kuatine died.

402
00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:55,880
I am so pleased that he used that line on her.

403
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,640
I know that's what set him off in the first place.

404
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,839
So getting to throw that in her face, it's beautiful.

405
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:12,599
It's a wonderful little moment. Note added by Crawler Carl Coolly.

406
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,279
I know you can't read this, but I want you

407
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:16,920
and every future reader to know I use the information

408
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960
from your passage to help plan the first step. If

409
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,759
it wasn't for your words, I wouldn't have had the

410
00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:25,160
confidence or knowledge to act what I did today. I

411
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,200
did for you and for a little girl named Bonnie.

412
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,799
My only regret is that my first step was a

413
00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:32,920
small one, and I don't know yet if I'll survive

414
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,319
long enough to take a second. But if I do

415
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,720
manage that second step, please forgive me. What I do

416
00:28:39,759 --> 00:28:42,720
from here on out is solely for me and my people.

417
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,279
As long as I am alive, I will do everything

418
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:48,680
I can to make them burn. They will not fucking

419
00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:56,440
break me. So then we go to chapter nineteen and

420
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:00,880
the repair subs fix the damage and tell port Dona

421
00:29:01,119 --> 00:29:05,920
and Carl away, but they wind up at the Desperado

422
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,079
Club instead of going to their personal space like he

423
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:15,640
was expecting, and later on we find out that they

424
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:21,079
are There's like a time lapse that they're not feeling

425
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,160
at this point, and five days go by in the

426
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:30,319
game that they are not feeling those five days whatsoever.

427
00:29:31,519 --> 00:29:34,440
This is something that keeps unnerving me. You know, we

428
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:36,759
know that they can do this because they also had

429
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,960
this with Mordecai, where by the time he reappears like

430
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:45,559
ten days later, he's still fucking mid sentence with what

431
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,359
he was saying when he got teleported away for a moment,

432
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,079
so he didn't feel that time lost at all either.

433
00:29:54,079 --> 00:29:58,559
And it's just really eerie, you know. It just makes

434
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:02,359
me think of like Rip van Winkle and how how

435
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,640
long can they do this for how much time can

436
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:11,160
they make you miss? It's just like, really it's creepy.

437
00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:15,400
There was a part of me that kind of thought, Mordecai,

438
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,519
they can do this too, because of like the function

439
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,799
he plays in the dungeon and finding out that this

440
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,279
can be done to anybody, it seems like is just

441
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,799
it's very scary. I don't like it. The desk was

442
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,720
the paper covered desk was occupied by a tall man.

443
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:38,799
The shadowy figure wore a dark cloak with a hood

444
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:43,519
which supernaturally obscured his face. Grim reaper like his hands,

445
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,519
the only flesh I could see were a dark, dark purple,

446
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,400
almost black. It was a small office with slat walls

447
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,200
and the same tiled floor as the rest of the

448
00:30:53,200 --> 00:31:00,680
Desperado Club or in syndicate liaison. So he has them

449
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,000
sit down and he says, I don't work for BORN.

450
00:31:06,079 --> 00:31:12,240
I am independent, retained by the syndicate. You would not

451
00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:15,079
normally meet me or one of my colleagues, but under

452
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:20,720
certain extreme circumstances. And he says, I am a non

453
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:24,680
AI fact finder, not quite a sheriff, not quite an attorney,

454
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,559
not quite a judge. If the syndicate sees something that

455
00:31:28,599 --> 00:31:31,960
requires more information, they will ask both the Kuatine and

456
00:31:32,039 --> 00:31:36,519
AI for reports on what happened. Sometimes those reports contradict

457
00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:40,640
each other. Sometimes those reports are inconclusive. In such cases,

458
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,519
a liaison such as myself investigates and if the facts

459
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:47,079
warrant it, I recommend what should be done about it.

460
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:50,359
And this is very much reminding me. Previous to this recording,

461
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,880
I was doing the Vorkosigen saga, and Miles in that

462
00:31:55,079 --> 00:32:01,599
series has a job as an Imperial auditor, and it's

463
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:07,119
kind of giving that same vibe for me as just

464
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,440
somebody kind of outside of all of the workings to

465
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:19,880
do independent investigations and whatnot. And Carl, as this is

466
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:23,279
like all being explained, is feeling a little bit guilty

467
00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:25,720
because he knows that Dona is probably freaking out and

468
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:28,079
she didn't know anything about what it was he was planning,

469
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:32,279
so she's just wrapped up in all of this and

470
00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:35,720
it wasn't intentional. But you know, he also wouldn't take

471
00:32:35,759 --> 00:32:39,079
it back because of course he wouldn't, Like, I don't

472
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:45,680
blame him for that at all. So this dude says,

473
00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:47,319
do you know how many times people have tried to

474
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:53,559
assassinate admins? And Carl just says probably a lot, And

475
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:55,799
he says, yeah, more than we'd like to admit, and

476
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,640
a lot of been successful. Two seasons ago, a crocodilian

477
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,839
managed to snap the head off his outreach associate. He

478
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,160
shouldered the admin into the hallway and literally bit the

479
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,000
man's head off, and instead of teleporting him away into

480
00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:13,319
the crawler disposal unit, the idiot Fourton admins sent two

481
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,480
of their own security agents to subdue the crawler and

482
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:21,480
also got themselves killed before the AI finally intervened. Three

483
00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:24,880
admins at once, which were the only admins killed by

484
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,200
crawlers that season that wasn't the record, but three is

485
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,519
still a lot. I'd like you to guess how many

486
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:37,559
have died this season so far due to your fellows, zero,

487
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,640
I said, the man grunted an amusement, Not including this

488
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,160
most recent death of Admin Louta. The number for this

489
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:52,960
season currently stands at fifteen. Lucia Marr has killed two

490
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,359
three if you count her first game guide, which we

491
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,960
do not. The rest were all one off attacks. Genuinely

492
00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:07,599
intrigued and more than a little proud of my fellow humans. Guys, fifteen,

493
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:13,400
this is genuine pride in my voice. Good for you,

494
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,719
the way they've been keeping it quiet. I mean, who

495
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,360
would they tell? Obviously they're keeping it quiet, you know,

496
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:25,159
but I love finding out that this is happening. I'm

497
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,360
not even sure it was wise of this man to

498
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,440
tell Carl so much, you know, I feel like it's

499
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,199
just sort of encouraging him, if anything. But I don't know.

500
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:42,599
Maybe I don't know, I don't know. Fifteen is already

501
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:45,320
considered a disaster. Do you know why that number is

502
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,599
so high? And you know, Carl says what we're all thinking,

503
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:51,800
which is because they don't want to spend any fucking money,

504
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,719
and he says, yeah, that's basically it. Every one of

505
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,840
those fifteen deaths, and in fact, every single ADMIN murder

506
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:03,199
until this very moment, have all got one thing in common.

507
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,920
We know exactly how the crawler pulled it off, but you,

508
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,360
we don't know how you did it. And Carl's like,

509
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,760
it was an accident, and Dona is going, oh my god,

510
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:22,079
he thinks you did this on purpose, and dude, it's like, no, no, no,

511
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,280
it was an accident. We know what killed her. We

512
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,440
can't figure out how you set it up because the

513
00:35:31,559 --> 00:35:35,719
explosion shouldn't have been as powerful as it was. And

514
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,519
he leads Carl to be like, why do you think

515
00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:44,039
it was so powerful? I had the cat on my table.

516
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:47,639
She was watching me decant those infusions. He slapped the

517
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:50,039
desk and pointed at me like I'd just given him

518
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:53,880
the answer to an equation. The sudden and unexpected sound

519
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,159
was like a thunderclap. I tried not to flinch, and

520
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:01,719
I hated myself for flinching anyway. I'm sorry, guys. If

521
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,079
you can hear my dogs are do a little bit

522
00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:07,159
of a running around out there. They're so adorable it's

523
00:36:07,159 --> 00:36:13,199
hard to be mad. So, Yes, the Sapper thing actually

524
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,199
affected this, which is just so interesting to me because

525
00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:20,119
I wouldn't expect the game stuff to affect real life

526
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:25,239
objects that are made for sale outside of the world,

527
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:31,440
you know what I'm saying. So I just really was

528
00:36:31,519 --> 00:36:35,599
caught off guard by that even being a factor. And

529
00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:41,559
then I love this guys, Donna, Oh my god, he

530
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:44,760
does believe we did it on purpose. If Karl was

531
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,679
gonna purposely kill Louda, he would have shoved a stick

532
00:36:46,679 --> 00:36:48,760
of dynamite and her gills and kicked her in the head.

533
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,719
Carl is very good at killing things, and he can

534
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,920
be very clever about it sometimes, but he doesn't do

535
00:36:54,039 --> 00:37:00,519
Secret Asian Man style murders. Agent what it's Secret Agent Man,

536
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:05,239
not Secret Asian Man. Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure.

537
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,079
How does Secret Asian Man make sense? Yes? I suppose

538
00:37:09,079 --> 00:37:12,079
that does make more sense. This tickled me so much

539
00:37:12,119 --> 00:37:17,519
because back in my youth I worked as a grocery

540
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:19,679
stocker for Whole Foods for a while and I had

541
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,599
a coworker there who was Asian Japanese tattoos all over

542
00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:31,119
his neck, and the radio would play Secret Agent Man

543
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,360
that song and he would sing it as Secret Asian

544
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,880
Man when he would sing along to it. So I

545
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,679
hear it as secret Asian Man every time I hear

546
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,440
it now due to that, and this just felt like

547
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,280
a little bit of like, you know, I just it

548
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,000
got me in a kind of inside joke sort of way.

549
00:37:53,159 --> 00:37:58,280
So when he was with Miss Beatrice, his definition of

550
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,400
subtle was pulling his boxers down, saying me so horny,

551
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:07,079
No offense, Carl, What I never did that? Oh right?

552
00:38:07,199 --> 00:38:09,599
That was Brad, wasn't it? Anyway? You get my point.

553
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,519
The way that she just casually drops in all of

554
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:15,119
the fucking dudes that Bee was cheating on him with

555
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:24,119
is insane and she needs to chill um so orin.

556
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,920
We have surveillance from the MECHS unit in this trailer,

557
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,960
but that is it. Since you weren't in the room,

558
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,440
the footage isn't nearly as holistic as we like, but

559
00:38:34,519 --> 00:38:37,800
what happened is clear. Luyda jumped down off the couch,

560
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:40,840
the toy jumped down to follow, and a few seconds

561
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,800
later it exploded, killing her and almost killing you two

562
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,119
as well. The panel on the back of its head

563
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:50,239
dislodged when it jumped, which activated the creature's self destruct sequence.

564
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,880
And set off the explosion due to the interface lockout.

565
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,119
Because of Admin Luyda's presence, neither of you received a

566
00:38:57,199 --> 00:39:04,800
self destruct warning. And then Carl brings up that thing

567
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,119
was made out of some shitty plastic. It's not my

568
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,159
fucking fault, and he's like, Okay, first of all, it's

569
00:39:10,199 --> 00:39:15,719
not plastic. It's made out of tamper proof polymer designed

570
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:23,320
to fail under certain circumstances. And let's see, I'm saying

571
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,039
the residue dust left behind by the disco ball smoke

572
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:30,199
curtain started to slowly eat away at the panel. That

573
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,599
process was greatly enhanced when you place the toy within

574
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,639
range of Admin Louda's rebreather apparatus. The moisture caused the

575
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,320
remaining dust to run across the panel and along the edges.

576
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,960
Then you engineered a situation that would cause the admin

577
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,719
to get up off the couch, and I love that.

578
00:39:50,599 --> 00:39:55,599
Carl internally is like, wow, this went way better than

579
00:39:55,639 --> 00:39:58,079
I expected due to a bunch of shit I wasn't

580
00:39:58,119 --> 00:40:03,440
even aware of. It's like, this guy is overestimating Carl

581
00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:05,599
in a way that I can't decide if this is

582
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:12,840
beneficial to Carl or not. And he's trying to get

583
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,000
them to basically sign a plea deal. If you just

584
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,280
admit you did it, you can just go back into

585
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,639
the dungeon and it'll be fine. And Carl is like,

586
00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:27,760
if you really thought I did it and you could

587
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,440
prove it, you wouldn't want me to sign anything. You

588
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:39,559
just fucking killed me. And this is so interesting. You're

589
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:43,000
obviously getting information from an outside source. We know it

590
00:40:43,039 --> 00:40:46,079
wasn't Agatha or any of her helpers. None are in

591
00:40:46,119 --> 00:40:49,000
your bubble. We don't believe it was Odette, either.

592
00:40:50,840 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 2: Agatha or any of her helpers. What what are her helpers?

593
00:41:08,039 --> 00:41:14,599
Speaker 1: What is that? Hmm? I am really you know something's

594
00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:18,039
been up with Agatha. She was an alien to begin

595
00:41:18,119 --> 00:41:22,760
with or something. I don't know. I am so curious.

596
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,440
Tell us who your source is and how they communicate

597
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,199
with you, and you will be returned to the dungeon

598
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,519
with no penalties, and you will be given a legendary

599
00:41:30,559 --> 00:41:32,960
box that will contain an item that will all but

600
00:41:33,039 --> 00:41:39,000
guarantee your survival until the ninth floor. And this is

601
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:41,199
when we get Carl just being like I had no

602
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,800
idea about that reaction, YadA YadA, And it is funny,

603
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,159
like I kind of wanted Carl to point out to

604
00:41:47,199 --> 00:41:50,119
this guy, you're giving me credit for knowing that this

605
00:41:50,159 --> 00:41:52,320
thing would eat away at the panel when I thought

606
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,480
it was just plastic, Like, how would I have even

607
00:41:54,599 --> 00:41:59,239
known that it did what you claim when Earth doesn't

608
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:09,719
have a a product like this, you know. So anyway,

609
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,159
he breaks the little tab off of the thing that

610
00:42:12,199 --> 00:42:14,159
holds the battery in place, just so that it becomes

611
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,800
really like delicate and it pops out all the time.

612
00:42:19,159 --> 00:42:21,239
So when I'd leaned into tap on the glass and

613
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,679
ask Loyda if the trailer could go into space, thus

614
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,519
confirming Lloyda was really there thanks to the moisture, I'd

615
00:42:26,519 --> 00:42:29,159
attempted to get my nail in place, but it'd slipped out.

616
00:42:29,559 --> 00:42:31,639
I'd had to lean in a second time to get

617
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:34,000
it right. I leaned over the couch and I'd made

618
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,639
the move with my left hand, pressing the robot toy

619
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,320
against my chest. In the end, it'd been simple. I

620
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,800
held the panel in place as I pulled my hand away.

621
00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:45,079
When I placed the toy on the couch next to

622
00:42:45,079 --> 00:42:47,880
the admined, I'd pulled away with enough force to dislodge

623
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:53,880
my fingernail, which held the panel precariously in place. I'd

624
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,000
practically crapped myself when Robot Doughnut had turned its head

625
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,719
to say some creepy shit to Loyda, but the little

626
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:06,679
panel had held it wasn't visibly loose. So yeah, this

627
00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:11,880
whole thing, it's like a really genius idea anyway, But

628
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,440
it's funny because they're just giving him a lot of

629
00:43:14,559 --> 00:43:20,360
credit that he doesn't deserve. I'm not signing anything because

630
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,360
I have nothing to give up, nobody to rat out.

631
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,159
And believe me, I'd love to get a free legendary box,

632
00:43:26,559 --> 00:43:29,199
but I have nothing to give you in exchange. This

633
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,440
was an accident, but you're obviously not an idiot, so

634
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,199
I won't lie to you. I wish I had thought

635
00:43:35,199 --> 00:43:38,360
of this. I wish I had outside help, because if

636
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,440
I did and thought I could have gotten away with it,

637
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,800
I would have done it without hesitation. But I wouldn't

638
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,440
have wasted the opportunity on some low level bitch like Loyda.

639
00:43:47,519 --> 00:43:50,480
And who would you have used it on? Then I

640
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,599
didn't answer. There were only so many lines I could cross.

641
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,039
There was so much I wanted to say. I thought

642
00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:01,880
of Brandon, of Yolanda, everybody else in the world, they'd

643
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:07,159
all died and nobody cared yet someone like Louda died

644
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,360
and we had to go through all of this For

645
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,599
reference to anybody listening to this in the future. It

646
00:44:15,639 --> 00:44:19,880
is currently September sixteenth of twenty twenty five. A couple

647
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,760
of days ago, Charlie Kirk was shot through the throat

648
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:30,119
while he was literally mid sentence about to talk shit

649
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:38,400
about gang violence, which we all know is dog whistle racism.

650
00:44:39,159 --> 00:44:43,039
And when I say we all know, I mean anybody

651
00:44:43,079 --> 00:44:49,360
with any knowledge on the way dog whistle politics works knows.

652
00:44:50,159 --> 00:44:56,360
And the same day there was a school shooting and

653
00:44:57,519 --> 00:44:59,840
I never found out about that school shooting until like

654
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:05,679
next day because Charlie Kirk's murder was made out initially

655
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:12,280
to be the work of left wing terrorists, and then

656
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:16,159
a fucking course, it turned out to be some right

657
00:45:16,199 --> 00:45:19,400
wing nut job who was pissed that Charlie Kirk wasn't

658
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,840
as right wing as he wished he were, and it

659
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:29,800
was part of this weird ongoing feud thing. And you know, guys,

660
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,039
there's a lot of people out there who are in

661
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:39,000
the unfortunate position of either having said that they aren't

662
00:45:39,039 --> 00:45:42,440
sorry he died, and then getting fired from their jobs

663
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,639
for having put that out on social media somewhere, or

664
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,960
who feel that way but can't actually put it out

665
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:53,280
there due to being worried about being let go. I

666
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,360
am not in that position. I work for myself and

667
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,440
I can say what I want. And all up and

668
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,679
down my feed were people who were saying, basically like,

669
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,000
after the way that man lived, for him to die

670
00:46:10,039 --> 00:46:14,159
this way is like some serious irony. And then in

671
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:17,559
the comments, somebody would come in and be like, I

672
00:46:17,559 --> 00:46:20,280
can't believe you're acting like he deserved this, and that

673
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,199
person would reply with I'm not saying he deserved it.

674
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,760
I'm just saying you reap what you sew kind of thing.

675
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:33,599
And I'm like, no, he did deserve it. He absolutely

676
00:46:33,639 --> 00:46:39,800
deserved it. Like I will not stutter, my friends, Louta

677
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:46,000
isn't out here holding a gun to anybody's head or

678
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,639
swinging a knife or any such thing. She has a

679
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,559
very non violent job, but nobody questions that she's part

680
00:46:56,639 --> 00:47:00,639
of this hideous system that wants to annihilate entire group

681
00:47:00,679 --> 00:47:07,599
of people. And Charlie Kirk was also doing this. He

682
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:14,440
was also espousing the same kind of bigoted rhetoric about

683
00:47:14,679 --> 00:47:21,079
white erasure, and that black people with certain jobs were

684
00:47:21,159 --> 00:47:25,480
clearly not qualified and had been given that job out

685
00:47:25,519 --> 00:47:31,280
of some sort of DEI bullshit, and that trans people

686
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,559
should be quote taking care of back like they did

687
00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:38,880
in the fifties and sixties unquote. He is literally saying

688
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,280
they should be murdered, and folks have the goal to

689
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,320
call him nonviolent because he didn't personally pick up a

690
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:53,840
weapon and shoot anybody. Are you seven years old? What

691
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,599
is fucking wrong with you? It doesn't get more violent

692
00:47:57,679 --> 00:48:01,000
than building your entire platform that reaches there's millions of

693
00:48:01,079 --> 00:48:07,320
people and having your entire life revolve around speaking jobs

694
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:14,960
where you share this kind of sick rhetoric. That's all violence.

695
00:48:15,039 --> 00:48:19,960
That's all it is. That's the job, and the idea

696
00:48:20,559 --> 00:48:26,400
that folks aren't making that connection is wilful. This is

697
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:31,679
not stupidity. This is on purpose. We are choosing to

698
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:38,679
separate physical violence from the violence of rhetoric when I

699
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:44,119
would argue what he was doing is in many ways

700
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:48,320
worse because he can hide behind that. The fact that

701
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:53,159
he didn't personally wield a weapon while mobilizing a huge

702
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,920
group of people, and folks like him are why Trump

703
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:03,079
got elected and why many folks being radicalized, but we

704
00:49:03,159 --> 00:49:12,880
act as a country like it's not accomplishing anything, and

705
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:18,760
it's truly bizarre. It's the weirdest. And the folks who

706
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,039
were so sure it was a leftist who killed him,

707
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,400
We're all talking about how he had the right to

708
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:30,039
his opinions, but then a person says, I'm not sorry

709
00:49:30,079 --> 00:49:34,079
he's dead, which is an opinion. And those same folks

710
00:49:34,199 --> 00:49:36,239
arguing about how he has the right to his free

711
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,360
speech are reporting that Facebook post to get this person fired.

712
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:46,599
Do we get free speech or do we not? You know,

713
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:51,760
like the right is decrying political violence with his assassination,

714
00:49:52,599 --> 00:49:58,239
But yesterday my governor Greg Abbott pardoned a man who

715
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,320
drove over a protester at a Black Lives Matter rally

716
00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:07,119
after sending texts to his friends about how he was

717
00:50:07,159 --> 00:50:12,239
going down there to quote kill looters. This dude murdered

718
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:17,719
somebody for political reasons and was pardoned by the governor.

719
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,599
He was dishonorably discharged when he got arrested, and they're

720
00:50:22,639 --> 00:50:28,519
trying to even reinstate him as being honorably discharged. Do

721
00:50:28,599 --> 00:50:35,119
we support political violence or don't we? So I know

722
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:40,079
that there are a lot of liberals out there who

723
00:50:40,079 --> 00:50:42,679
are like, well, I don't agree with him, but I

724
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,679
don't think we should resort to these measures. Yes we should,

725
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,440
Yes we should. I am so sorry, but some people

726
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:56,719
make the world worse and more dangerous. That's just fucking facts,

727
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:03,400
and it's not pretty. I don't like it, but I

728
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,559
think the world's better without a minute, and I am

729
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,840
not going to stutter when I say it. You can

730
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,119
clip this and cut it and put it wherever you want.

731
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:17,920
I will stand by this until my dying breath. So yeah,

732
00:51:18,599 --> 00:51:23,639
good for you. Carl kill Louda. You can't root for

733
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:28,400
this in this fiction and not see how somebody like

734
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:33,960
Charlie Kirk deserved to die. He did, He fucking did,

735
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:44,280
and that's that on that So now their bodyguards are

736
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,880
here to pick them up. It's very fun because he

737
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:53,679
doesn't sign shit, and this guy can't make him, and

738
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:59,039
there's just not anything that they can really do except

739
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:04,239
keep an eye on him. I have no choice but

740
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,599
to recommend that the Syndicate closed the matter. However, you

741
00:52:06,599 --> 00:52:10,000
should know we have implemented a punitive measure onto Barrent

742
00:52:10,079 --> 00:52:12,800
for the remainder of this floor, as this wasn't an

743
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:17,760
isolated incident. No crawlers will be allowed to be teleported

744
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,800
away by third parties until the next floor opens. Yes,

745
00:52:22,119 --> 00:52:25,719
that means your next appearance on Odet's show has been canceled.

746
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:32,360
She's already filed an appeal. And this is when Carl

747
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,960
starts to be like, filed an appeal, all of this

748
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,119
has had It's been like ten seconds, and he's starting

749
00:52:39,119 --> 00:52:42,960
to realize, oh wait, it's longer than that. And he's

750
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,239
also wondering how Lucy mr had killed two admins and

751
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:54,599
gotten away with it. Why wasn't she dead? Prediction they

752
00:52:54,639 --> 00:52:57,360
did something to her and that's why she's acting so

753
00:52:58,039 --> 00:53:06,280
bananas that her acting out overtly got some kind of

754
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:11,559
weird punishment that fucks with her perception or I don't

755
00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:13,559
know what. I don't know what they can do, but

756
00:53:13,639 --> 00:53:19,920
it seems to me something specific about her behavior is

757
00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:30,280
linked to a punishment. So that's my guess, And let's

758
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,079
see whomever it is that's helping you. They're not doing

759
00:53:33,079 --> 00:53:36,119
it for your benefit. If the Kuatine hadn't intervened on

760
00:53:36,159 --> 00:53:39,199
your behalf, this would have gone much differently. What do

761
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,880
you mean how did they intervene? Certain crawlers are simply

762
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,880
too valuable to just throw away off screen, no matter

763
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,480
how recalcitrant they are. Ultimately it's their call. And even

764
00:53:50,519 --> 00:53:53,239
though I can't find legal cause to place Administrator Lloyda's

765
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:54,920
death upon you, if it were up to me, i'd

766
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,280
have you removed anyway. We discussed this in council and

767
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,840
it was decided that my personal recommend be ignored for

768
00:54:02,119 --> 00:54:05,559
now the month. Skippers aren't known for their ability to

769
00:54:05,639 --> 00:54:09,119
recognize threats. If the rumors are correct and we do

770
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,880
take over after the next floor, I hope my own

771
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,039
people will be much more willing to listen to my

772
00:54:14,159 --> 00:54:20,440
personal assessment. How long have we been away. It's only

773
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,400
been five days. You're lucky it wasn't longer. You still

774
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,880
have five days left to finish your bubble. Your partner,

775
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,960
Katia has gotten into some interesting adventures while you've been gone.

776
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,079
She's back on the top ten list above you. Actually,

777
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,119
you two are about to slip off, so you probably

778
00:54:35,119 --> 00:54:40,039
want to get back to work. And Carl, this is

779
00:54:40,079 --> 00:54:43,079
the first time he really shows emotion and is just

780
00:54:43,159 --> 00:54:48,320
like motherfucker Orin looked up then, and the man's hood slipped.

781
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,960
The swirling black coalesced and I realized it was actually

782
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,559
a face shaped bowl of liquid made to look like

783
00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:01,480
swirling darkness within that liquid, a tiny glimpse of light.

784
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,920
Mordecai had described what they looked like to me, so

785
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,239
I recognized what was in the liquid, A worm of

786
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:21,400
Valtae worm. Yeah, interesting, interesting, interesting, Okay, okay, Valta, I

787
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:30,519
see you. So they come back, and Mordecai is clearly

788
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:37,719
he is a distray and thought that they probably were

789
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,960
going to not be returning, And Doughnut has to share

790
00:55:43,199 --> 00:55:50,559
the whole story. Katcha actually did go on her Sidekicks show.

791
00:55:50,639 --> 00:55:53,440
I guess they added the band as my show was

792
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,039
being taped. Zev told me about the band just before

793
00:55:56,079 --> 00:56:00,880
I teleported back down here. So Zev is back as

794
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:05,000
our pr agent again, which Donut is excited about. And

795
00:56:05,039 --> 00:56:09,920
I'm really curious because you know, having people tortured to

796
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,039
force you into something, it can certainly break your brain

797
00:56:13,159 --> 00:56:20,840
and make you terrified, but it won't convince necessarily. So

798
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:25,599
I'm curious exactly what Zev's going to be like when

799
00:56:25,599 --> 00:56:33,920
there isn't somebody like Loyda around to restrain her. I

800
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,800
also want to mention now that we've gotten to know Loyda,

801
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:44,280
thinking back to her being Hecla's PR agent. What a

802
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:51,280
terrifying combination, you know, Like, I'm not absolving Hecla of

803
00:56:51,519 --> 00:56:56,119
the way she operated, because clearly that was a personality

804
00:56:56,159 --> 00:56:59,159
thing and that's part of who she was. But she

805
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:07,599
was clearly being encouraged. I'm sure to be as completely

806
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:14,760
like cold as she was. It says that Zeb's a

807
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,599
temporary PR agent, but I don't know. Maybe maybe temporary

808
00:57:19,639 --> 00:57:21,239
will last a while. I don't know. I don't know.

809
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:28,320
So let's see. She was now in the last quadrant

810
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,679
and was in the personal space via a pub down there.

811
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,199
She was also now level forty one, three higher than

812
00:57:34,239 --> 00:57:38,199
the last time I'd seen her, and she didn't know

813
00:57:38,239 --> 00:57:40,800
what had happened. She had to have everybody like explain

814
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,400
to her. If you hadn't, if you hadn't left the

815
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,480
controller with Lewis, we never would have been able to

816
00:57:46,519 --> 00:57:49,199
fly the thing. I've spent the last five days killing

817
00:57:49,239 --> 00:57:52,440
scorpion men and arguing with Gwen. We could really use

818
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,039
your help down here. Lewis and Firos are on the

819
00:57:55,039 --> 00:57:57,679
way back to pick you up. They've turned into quite

820
00:57:57,719 --> 00:58:00,400
the pilots. Once you get your asses down here, I'll

821
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:07,119
catch you up and uh, Mordecai. Next thing, you know,

822
00:58:07,199 --> 00:58:10,280
the lawyers will be here. Everything gets complicated once the

823
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:14,480
lawyers get here and we find out Chris and Maggie

824
00:58:14,519 --> 00:58:23,480
are still trapped. It's let's see a goddamn syndicate liaison.

825
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,239
Just let you walk right out of there. Yeah, he

826
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,559
didn't even say anything about this. I held Lloyd To's

827
00:58:29,679 --> 00:58:32,920
rebreather up in the air. I'd looted it off the

828
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:41,679
dead Kuatine's body, you guys, that's honestly next level. He

829
00:58:41,719 --> 00:58:43,960
couldn't put it in his inventory, so it was just

830
00:58:44,079 --> 00:58:49,880
shoved into his boxers. I mean, insane. I love it

831
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,920
so much. Now that we're going to be going underwater,

832
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,920
potentially this could be really useful. I don't know, you know,

833
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:01,800
I don't know, but Mordecai just gouged me be hanging down.

834
00:59:03,719 --> 00:59:09,960
So we go then into chapter twenty and I'm running

835
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,480
a long on time here, so I'm going to do

836
00:59:12,559 --> 00:59:14,599
my best. I may have to continue some of my

837
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:19,400
coverage of this into the next episode, but uh yeah,

838
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:26,880
this the fun thing about this. Carl and Donut being

839
00:59:27,079 --> 00:59:31,440
gone has sort of given everyone else room to breathe,

840
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,840
And it's not like the two of them. I don't

841
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,559
think we're a dampening influence. I think they were actually

842
00:59:38,599 --> 00:59:43,199
inspirational to people. But there is something about having a

843
00:59:43,239 --> 00:59:46,320
person who's super capable and higher level around all the

844
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,400
time that I'm sure can make you feel like you

845
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,960
have something to fall back on. And once these two

846
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:58,320
are taken out of the equation, everybody, you know, they

847
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,519
don't know that these two are actual going to come

848
01:00:00,519 --> 01:00:02,960
back for sure. They just got to fucking manage their

849
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:10,280
shit and it they're managing it, like, you know, not perfectly,

850
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,719
but they're stepping up to for fear of us is

851
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,599
level thirty now when he had been twenty two at

852
01:00:16,599 --> 01:00:22,920
the beginning of this floor. And let's see, did Kaya

853
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,000
tell you about how she stuck the house into her inventory?

854
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,880
A lot has happened. It was Lewis's idea. We had

855
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,360
the thing floating just off the ground. Katya did that

856
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,519
weird thing she does when she puts the backpack on

857
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,039
and it worked. Then that same night, after the recap,

858
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,440
they patched it and the whole damn contraption just popped

859
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,800
out of her inventory, floating over our heads. It almost

860
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,440
smushed all of us. We were all in a pub

861
01:00:47,519 --> 01:00:50,559
called cuttlefish Point and it pretty much blew up the tavern.

862
01:00:50,719 --> 01:00:54,599
That Pazuzu guy that runs it was pissed, and Pazusu

863
01:00:54,719 --> 01:00:58,599
is the name of a demon in the beginning of

864
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:03,239
the Uh what do you call it? Oh, my god,

865
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,559
the one where the exorcist. I think that's the name

866
01:01:06,599 --> 01:01:12,000
of the demon that possesses her. I was just it

867
01:01:12,079 --> 01:01:15,320
was funny to me. We all had to jump on

868
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,239
the thing and fly Away thought he was going to

869
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,639
sting us for sure. It was pretty intense. Then Lewis

870
01:01:20,719 --> 01:01:22,639
peeded over the edge on the guy while he was

871
01:01:22,679 --> 01:01:24,679
still screaming up at us, and it pretty much got

872
01:01:24,719 --> 01:01:28,599
us banned from town. Oh my god, y'all, that is

873
01:01:28,639 --> 01:01:32,119
a lot. I thought Gwen was gonna rip his schlong off.

874
01:01:32,199 --> 01:01:34,400
Katya had to stop her from kicking his ass, but

875
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,599
she was laughing too, and that made Gwen even more mad.

876
01:01:38,719 --> 01:01:44,559
And later on we meet Gwen and we get a

877
01:01:44,679 --> 01:01:48,599
description from Katya that is interesting, So we will get there.

878
01:01:53,199 --> 01:01:55,719
Langley has a couple of his guys on it, keeping

879
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,800
it clear of sand. It's gonna be tough starting tomorrow

880
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,840
once the Red equinox. They're building something to protect it,

881
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,840
and Karl had forgotten about that whole like weather patterns thing,

882
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:07,519
so he's like, ah, shit, this is going to be

883
01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:12,719
a whole problem. So this is when Lewis says, all right,

884
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:17,760
we got to get moving. Let's see. Do you feel

885
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,480
out of the loop? Donut whispered, I feel out of

886
01:02:19,519 --> 01:02:22,880
the loop. Part of me was proud that Katya had

887
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,000
just rolled with us going missing. She'd gotten a lot done.

888
01:02:26,159 --> 01:02:27,840
She'd managed to get the whole house down to the

889
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:29,960
land quadrant, and she'd figured out how to breach the

890
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,599
magical door that guarded the front of the land Quadrant castle,

891
01:02:32,639 --> 01:02:35,480
all without us. Fear Us told me that they would

892
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,159
have finished with the castle already if Zev hadn't asked

893
01:02:38,199 --> 01:02:41,960
Katya to wait for us. At the same time, part

894
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,199
of me stung at the notion she could do this

895
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:48,679
without me. It was stupid, selfish, and it was more

896
01:02:48,719 --> 01:02:52,079
than a little narcissistic to think without me and Donut,

897
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:56,559
Katcha and the others were absolutely screwed. But that feeling

898
01:02:56,679 --> 01:03:00,360
was there, and I was simultaneously relieved. It was that

899
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,840
I'd been wrong and horrified i'd been thinking it in

900
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,480
the first place. I still didn't know if we'd get

901
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,599
there in time, but Katsche and the other's actions while

902
01:03:09,639 --> 01:03:13,599
we were away proved I wasn't as indispensable as I thought,

903
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,480
and in the end I realized it was a necessary feeling.

904
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,559
And then we get a flashback from his dad screaming

905
01:03:21,599 --> 01:03:25,760
at him, you'll die in a gutter without me. You

906
01:03:26,199 --> 01:03:29,119
need me. You think you're just gonna be fine. What

907
01:03:29,199 --> 01:03:33,119
will you do, you disrespectful little shit. You will break

908
01:03:33,199 --> 01:03:36,800
after just one day and then you'll die. That's what

909
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,320
you'll do, just like your fucking bitch of a mother.

910
01:03:42,239 --> 01:03:47,559
This guy's a real piece of work, I swear, Carl,

911
01:03:47,599 --> 01:03:49,280
how did you wind up being as good a dude

912
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:54,280
as you are? Like? How though? How I really like

913
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,960
this whole thing with Carl reckoning with the fact that

914
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,960
he isn't indispensable. It's not. It's something that I think

915
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,760
a lot of us like get into this weird space,

916
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:10,079
especially when we're at shitty jobs, where we tell ourselves like,

917
01:04:10,199 --> 01:04:13,119
this whole place would fall apart if it weren't for us,

918
01:04:13,679 --> 01:04:16,119
and it really is. It's like a way for us

919
01:04:16,159 --> 01:04:20,519
to cope with the garbage situation we're in, and it

920
01:04:20,559 --> 01:04:24,159
makes us feel like we've got some power and like,

921
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:28,719
don't get me wrong, upon occasion, when a person leaves

922
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,599
a certain job, it is a disaster in their wake

923
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,000
because they did way more than anybody knew. But mostly

924
01:04:37,679 --> 01:04:41,039
people are fine. Mostly. You can tell yourself, this place

925
01:04:41,039 --> 01:04:43,440
would fall apart without me, and they could replace you

926
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:50,719
tomorrow and almost nobody would even notice. And it's always like,

927
01:04:52,039 --> 01:04:54,679
you know, finding out a place is continued on without you.

928
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,239
It can be sort of like quelling. And I think

929
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:04,159
he's got a good attitude about realizing it's a mixed

930
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:11,119
feeling he's having. In response, I think it's mature. So

931
01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:16,639
one of Lucimar's Rottwiler's had somehow accidentally killed a group

932
01:05:16,639 --> 01:05:20,039
of crawlers after a battle. The event had caused Lucia

933
01:05:20,119 --> 01:05:23,679
to undergo some sort of psychotic break one worse than usual.

934
01:05:24,239 --> 01:05:27,639
They'd shown the strange crawlers sitting alone in a room sobbing,

935
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,760
which was the first real emotion they'd ever portrayed other

936
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:35,199
than rage and pure insanity. Flora in the shotgun Crocodile

937
01:05:35,239 --> 01:05:38,119
Guy had finally emerged into a quadrant to find everybody

938
01:05:38,119 --> 01:05:43,079
else in the entire bubble was already dead. That first

939
01:05:43,079 --> 01:05:44,880
of all, I want to say that considering that they

940
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,079
can bring people's like relatives back that were killed in

941
01:05:48,119 --> 01:05:50,920
the thing, I can't help but wonder if they like

942
01:05:51,039 --> 01:05:55,639
brought She mentioned her father in one of the videos,

943
01:05:55,880 --> 01:06:01,400
and like, is one of the dogs her relative turned

944
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,239
into a pet? Did they do that to fuck with her?

945
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:11,719
And that might make part of I don't know. I mean,

946
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,719
it could certainly cause you to go into a psychotic

947
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,159
break that one of your creatures killed everybody just because.

948
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,800
But I could also see it being extra upsetting if

949
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:25,800
it's like this is a person to me still, but

950
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,039
they're not. They're changed, and it's like, as much as

951
01:06:29,079 --> 01:06:31,719
I'm hanging onto something, it's not real, you know. I

952
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,159
don't know, guys, my brain is going all over the

953
01:06:34,159 --> 01:06:37,440
place in terms of possibilities with her Flora. Finding out

954
01:06:37,559 --> 01:06:41,320
everybody is dead is truly awful. It's all on him,

955
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:48,639
like yikes. He'd only managed to clear one castle so far,

956
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,159
and the general consensus was that he was screwed. The

957
01:06:52,159 --> 01:06:55,039
Goat Squad was almost done with their bubble, but Miriam

958
01:06:55,119 --> 01:06:57,079
Don the Shepherd Lady, was hit with some curse that

959
01:06:57,159 --> 01:07:00,960
ended up changing her into a vampire. Apparently she was

960
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,360
a vegan before this. And the assholes thought to be

961
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:09,039
hilarious to do that to her. Look, I don't think

962
01:07:09,159 --> 01:07:11,559
veganism is a great way to live for a number

963
01:07:11,599 --> 01:07:14,679
of reasons, but it's not my fucking business. I don't

964
01:07:14,679 --> 01:07:18,559
get why people get so like, you know, just get

965
01:07:18,599 --> 01:07:27,159
over it, Jesus. So I'm at eight minutes over time,

966
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,000
and there's still like a substantial amount left in this chapter.

967
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:38,159
So uugh, let's see. Okay, we have the meeting with Gwen.

968
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,360
We'd exchanged fist pumps when Donut was collecting all the

969
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,360
now worthless engineer hats. The woman was about forty five

970
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:52,400
years old and solid, and she is First Nations, and

971
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,719
he can see that she is somebody who has done

972
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:59,039
some real physical labor and has muscle on her and

973
01:07:59,639 --> 01:08:03,239
is a person who probably got into bar fights, and

974
01:08:04,039 --> 01:08:09,159
just is a type that he knows really well, race

975
01:08:09,239 --> 01:08:15,360
human class, boring old fighter. Sorry, we can't whine and

976
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,199
dine you first, bomber boy, but we need to get

977
01:08:17,239 --> 01:08:19,399
trucking on this bullshit your friend is making us do.

978
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,560
The storm that's about to hit is the last one

979
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:23,119
before the weather change, and we don't know if that's

980
01:08:23,119 --> 01:08:25,239
going to fuck us over or not. We can only

981
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:32,680
do Kacha's electric door thing during the sandstorm. Let's see

982
01:08:33,399 --> 01:08:34,920
you a friend of yours are going to go in

983
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:38,319
there and try and kill the mage for us, just us. Oh,

984
01:08:38,399 --> 01:08:40,439
she didn't tell you the deal, did she? Why does

985
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:46,079
that not surprise me? So? Donut I like her? She

986
01:08:46,119 --> 01:08:50,119
reminds me of a miniature sized Hekla, Carl, Yeah, because

987
01:08:50,159 --> 01:08:55,520
that turned out great, Katya. She's an amazing fighter. She's

988
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:59,039
fast too. Her class trades fighting skills for no magic

989
01:08:59,079 --> 01:09:02,399
spells whatsoever. I watched her use that spear to pierce

990
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,960
a pozuzu in the back, vault over him and use

991
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,640
the momentum to throw his body at another monster. The

992
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:12,920
problem is she's a real bitch. She is like Hecla

993
01:09:13,079 --> 01:09:15,600
in some ways, though instead of scheming in her head,

994
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:17,800
she just says it out loud the moment she thinks

995
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,319
of it, And if she doesn't like you, she will

996
01:09:20,399 --> 01:09:22,520
tell you, and then, just to make sure you were

997
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:25,640
paying attention, she'll say it again, but in a different way.

998
01:09:26,119 --> 01:09:31,000
At least, Hackla pretended to be supportive, Carl. I was

999
01:09:31,039 --> 01:09:33,560
actually surprised when Firas said you two were always fighting.

1000
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,800
I thought you could get along with everybody, Kotcha, I

1001
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,000
made a promise to myself not that long ago. I

1002
01:09:39,039 --> 01:09:41,840
wasn't going to take any shit anymore. When Gwen makes

1003
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,560
up her mind about something, it's impossible to change her mind,

1004
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,920
and then she becomes a bully about it. I don't

1005
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,520
like that, donut. That makes her sound more like Carl

1006
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:55,119
than hecla. He's not a bully, though, Kotya agreed. Carl

1007
01:09:55,159 --> 01:09:58,399
doesn't insult you when you have a different idea. Carl,

1008
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,720
She's exactly the type of person who would survive here.

1009
01:10:02,279 --> 01:10:05,920
So what's the deal with the castle? Katya? Okay, So

1010
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,520
here's the problem. We've discovered. There are two ways to

1011
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,920
take it easy and hard. Gwen wants to do the

1012
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:12,720
easy way, but if we do it her way, I

1013
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:14,359
think we're going to lose our chance of getting the

1014
01:10:14,359 --> 01:10:18,079
winding box from the mage. Honestly, I'd also much rather

1015
01:10:18,119 --> 01:10:20,520
do it her way too, but Zev has been unusually

1016
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:24,880
insistent that we wait for you too. That is interesting

1017
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,720
to me. The idea that like Zev is trying to

1018
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:31,119
influence what's happening in there, I'm sure would not be

1019
01:10:31,159 --> 01:10:34,720
approved of by Luita. And it's just showing for me

1020
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:42,479
that there's still some of zev in there, hopefully. Let's see.

1021
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:47,319
Most of this information is from a drunk scorpion guy.

1022
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,560
This he turned himself into a sand elemental. That's how

1023
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,199
he managed to get that one part he has. He's

1024
01:10:53,239 --> 01:10:55,840
all mixed in with the sand. Now there's a magical

1025
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,000
door to get into the castle, but you can dig

1026
01:10:58,039 --> 01:11:00,000
behind it. At first I thought it was a poor

1027
01:11:00,359 --> 01:11:03,960
but it's not. After they've reached the last wall, Gwen's

1028
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:07,319
team found a secret drainage panel against the side. If

1029
01:11:07,319 --> 01:11:09,319
they turn it, it will release all the water inside the

1030
01:11:09,359 --> 01:11:11,640
necropolis and shoot it back out into the ocean through

1031
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,760
the main drainage tunnel, which is what the sand castle

1032
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,319
is built around. We wouldn't even need to get through

1033
01:11:16,319 --> 01:11:19,119
the magical doorway. It'll just destroy the sand castle like

1034
01:11:19,159 --> 01:11:22,359
we were hitting it with a water hose. Easy though

1035
01:11:22,399 --> 01:11:25,439
apparently it would only half drain the necropolis because the

1036
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:31,479
water is still being pumped in, and so if we

1037
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,079
blow it out the water hose, blow it out with

1038
01:11:34,119 --> 01:11:35,880
the water hose. Plan we take the castle, but the

1039
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:37,920
mage guy gets turned to mud and we never find

1040
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,279
the winding box. What's the hard way? You see those

1041
01:11:41,279 --> 01:11:44,560
two towers on either side of the sand castle. At

1042
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,920
the base of each was a coiled up electrical line

1043
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,199
with clips at the end. If you attach the line

1044
01:11:49,199 --> 01:11:50,840
to the tower and then to the door, when the

1045
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,640
sandstorm hits, lightning hits the towers and they act like

1046
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:57,119
lightning rods. They electrify the doorway and a glass hallway

1047
01:11:57,159 --> 01:12:00,520
appears if you examine it while it opens. The message

1048
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,760
says it only opens once per sandstorm. But the door

1049
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:06,840
closes really fast. There'll only be enough time for a

1050
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:08,760
few of us to enter. I made a deal with

1051
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,159
Gwen that we would do it. She thinks we're idiots

1052
01:12:11,159 --> 01:12:13,239
for trying it this way when there's an easier solution,

1053
01:12:15,159 --> 01:12:19,560
and I'm going to stop here. But suffice to say,

1054
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,319
the door gets opened, it works, and they go through.

1055
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,720
I am very interested in seeing what happens from there.

1056
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,520
So I have to wrap though, because I just wasn't

1057
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:33,439
able to get through at all. Apologies. I know that

1058
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,800
probably I shouldn't have talked about Charlie Kirk for as

1059
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,000
long as I did, but you know what, I just

1060
01:12:38,039 --> 01:12:39,920
needed to get it out, kids, I just needed to

1061
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,800
say it. I just had to. So sorry, not sorry,

1062
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:48,920
appreciate you all so much and until next time to

1063
01:12:48,920 --> 01:13:21,840
the loom motherfuckers that was an unspoiled network past
