1 00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me 2 00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:16,440 covering Dungeon Crawler Carl Book eight, a Parade of Horribles, 3 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:28,559 chapters thirty one through thirty five. In these chapters, I 4 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,079 don't know how this dude keeps making me like really 5 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,799 touched and happy and then really sad and anxious, Like 6 00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:42,039 it's just I'm getting whiplash over here. Man, It's not 7 00:00:42,159 --> 00:01:05,040 from the racing lol. Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to 8 00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:08,760 the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you very much 9 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:12,959 to Michael for commissioning this episode, and Michael is here 10 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,879 in the chat today. Appreciate you being here, sir. I 11 00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:25,840 you guys. I was trying to explain to a friend 12 00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:31,280 of mine the fact that this series has gotten so 13 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:39,840 popular has predictably resulted in some folks who like, you know, 14 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,280 kind of wait until they hear enough about a thing 15 00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:45,879 deciding like, oh, maybe it's time to pick this series up, 16 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,439 and then people who have like never heard of it 17 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,840 being suddenly interested. And the deal that got made with 18 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,239 Peacock has been drawing a lot of attention, and thus 19 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:07,359 I've been drawn into a few conversations about like what 20 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,759 the style of writing is and some people who just 21 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840 really were not fans of the tone, which I really 22 00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:22,039 do understand. It is this sort of thing that opens 23 00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:27,120 chapter thirty one, though, that really makes me like push 24 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,319 back on when folks say that the writing is really juvenile. 25 00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:38,520 The fact that people say it's juvenile isn't surprising or inaccurate. 26 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000 I just want to like really be clear on the 27 00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:45,080 fact that the edge lordy tone of a lot of 28 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,000 stuff being something that puts folks off is understandable. But 29 00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:55,360 I really want to emphasize these sorts of moments that 30 00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,759 I feel hit all the harder because of where they're 31 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,159 placed in the story, and there they are just these 32 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,719 much needed moments of like we even in the worst 33 00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:14,960 of things, there can be some good, not necessarily saying 34 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,960 that we should like credit the horrible thing that's been 35 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,960 done or that has happened with you know, oh, this 36 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000 thing like that was awful was actually worth it because 37 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,240 it did such and such. It is a circumstantial thing, 38 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:32,759 but it is true and there is a nuance to 39 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,639 that that is difficult sometimes. And the way that this 40 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:47,400 opens is so layered and interesting to me. So we 41 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:53,039 start off with Luca d Crawler Number ten million, two 42 00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:57,319 hundred and eighty four four hundred and seventy one pasta 43 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,879 Mancer class, which is like a really great we're gonna 44 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:07,759 have this extremely heartfelt, touching entry, but we're also gonna 45 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,000 have it be that he's a postime answer, which is insane. 46 00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:19,920 So that's delightful. Saraphim says, quote is popular. That means 47 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,160 it has to be low brow slop. If the plebeian 48 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,800 sheeple are all buying about it, I'll be honest, that's 49 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,480 not really the tone people have been engaging in good 50 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,759 faith conversations mostly, And like I said at the beginning 51 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,360 of covering the first book, the edge Lord humor put 52 00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:41,519 me off initially as well. I would have continued on 53 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,319 even if it weren't for the show, and I think 54 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,959 by the end of the first book I would have 55 00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:49,199 been hooked enough to keep reading. But I really wouldn't 56 00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:55,480 fault people for not really like seeing past that right away, 57 00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:00,560 because I feel like, you know, taking things that face 58 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,360 value is sometimes a valid take. I will say that, 59 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,279 like I had a different reaction and as you all know, 60 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,319 to the Hispanic woman order, like this was something that 61 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,879 I felt was like a really grotesque moment on purpose 62 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,879 that was like underscored is cruel and mean spirited on purpose, 63 00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:27,759 and a lot of people felt that it was cruel 64 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,720 and mean spirited by the writer. And I don't agree 65 00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:37,040 with that take, but I could. I can't really like 66 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,560 be mad about it, because everything is going to hit 67 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,759 you differently, and for me, things hit me differently at 68 00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:45,920 different times, depending on even the fucking mood I'm in. 69 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,199 So I was willing to extend some grace on that 70 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,600 based on the context of some other things in the book. 71 00:05:52,079 --> 00:05:55,199 But not everybody is analyzing things at the level that 72 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,199 I'm analyzing as I go along, and so they're letting 73 00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:00,879 stuff wash over them, and some of the details of 74 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,079 the context are inevitably going to be overlooked or lost 75 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,800 because you're plowing through, you know. Michael says, to be fair, 76 00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:12,199 du'e Carl or Carl does lean into a lot of 77 00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:14,879 the low brow humor. It just is much more than that, agreed. 78 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,360 I think that it's the low brow humor is like 79 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,160 the entry point for a lot of folks who are 80 00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:25,680 looking for something like simple and funny, and then he 81 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:29,720 has used that as the sugar for the rest of 82 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:32,920 the medicine, which is capitalism is garbage and we are 83 00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:40,160 all part of a machine. So anyway, this entry is 84 00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:45,920 it says from Donuts a banquet fit for a princess. Guys, 85 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,079 remind me because like later Carl mentions this by name. 86 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:52,959 But I thought all of this was like in their 87 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,920 book of Voodoo. Is that thing titled like a does 88 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:04,600 it have its own title? Michael says, that's the book 89 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,120 with all the donated spells. The books split into two 90 00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:13,720 for each of them, says Saraphem. Michael says, there are 91 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,720 three different books, one for Donut, one for Carl, one 92 00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:19,759 for everyone. Oh okay, I didn't know that they had 93 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,439 all gotten like separate titles, And I'm really curious what 94 00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:31,279 Carl's is titled. So we get this story from Luca 95 00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:36,079 about him having a really difficult relationship with his mother 96 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,480 growing up, and she eventually began to suffer from dementia 97 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,519 and was put into a home. But he felt guilty 98 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,560 enough to like go and check on her and seek 99 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,959 her out despite their bad relationship, And while there he 100 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,920 had like wheeled her out of the building. I don't 101 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,839 know if it was to take a walk or you 102 00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:07,040 know what it was that happened. He and she are 103 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,920 outside when the building gets flattened, and so they wind 104 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,759 up going into the dungeon together. And you know the 105 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,000 way that choosing races works means that sometimes you can 106 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,759 fix the thing that's bothering you that is like breaking 107 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,680 down in your body. So she is able to choose 108 00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:35,600 a race that actually like undoes the damage and restores 109 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:41,240 her mind and memory. And this leads to him and 110 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,960 her having like a breakthrough where they are actually able 111 00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:51,279 to fully communicate in a way that feels really like 112 00:08:51,320 --> 00:09:01,840 it was satisfying and thorough and meaningful. And this is 113 00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:08,080 just so lovely. It's not that necessarily everything is totally 114 00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:12,919 cool or anything, but she's able to explain why she 115 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,600 was the way that she was with her son. He 116 00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,360 explains to her the things that she did and said 117 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:23,200 that really hurt him, and he says that, you know, 118 00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:29,279 I really cherish those last days with her because there 119 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,159 is no way that I would have been able to 120 00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:36,679 have this. And you guys saved our lives and made 121 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,360 it possible for me to connect with her in this way. 122 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:44,320 And it is just so sweet, and it wraps up 123 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,000 with like you saved me, and by saving me, you 124 00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:49,360 also saved the memory of my mother and all those 125 00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:52,120 I have loved, And for that, I love you, Princess Donut, 126 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,960 even though you don't know me. I love you with 127 00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:58,080 all that I have. Keep up the good fight, and 128 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,360 should you fall, I want you to. I know you 129 00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:04,399 will never be forgotten. And the spell that she gets 130 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:11,120 is temporary Macaroni at level fourteen, which we actually get 131 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:17,200 to see her cast, and she chooses this uncooked Cantaloni cattle. Well, 132 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,120 I can't even remember what it is. Cantiloni I think 133 00:10:19,159 --> 00:10:22,600 are like big shells, so that probably is not correct, 134 00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:27,559 but uh, you know, I don't know. Maybe. So we 135 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,279 jump from there into the race gluteous high as fuck. 136 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:39,559 Later actually overdoses and we wind up having an emergency situation. 137 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,840 Now I know I'm jumping ahead a bit, but oh well, 138 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:49,600 I will have to point out that my brain, oh 139 00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:55,960 my brain, I did not remember the rules correctly here. 140 00:10:56,759 --> 00:11:01,480 So when Carl reaches out and grabs the steering wheel 141 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,279 after Gluotius passes out, I really thought that they were 142 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,200 about to like be in trouble. I didn't remember that 143 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,600 it's nobody else can touch the steering wheel. It is 144 00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:19,759 that different people have to race and if you touch 145 00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:22,919 it next race, you aren't like an option to drive, 146 00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:29,120 which it does give a little bit more leeway, it's 147 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,360 still tough obviously in situations like this. Gluteus really fucked 148 00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:40,360 them in a way here, like he later on we 149 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:43,919 see him and he's like recovering from his overdose and 150 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:50,440 looks quite embarrassed, sir, you know, like, why did you 151 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:57,320 have to? Why did you? But what's done is done, 152 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,080 And we also, finally, like the show, skulls that are 153 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:06,279 attacking are coming at this pace that later on we 154 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,120 find out Doughnut killed over ten thousand of them, which 155 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:14,519 makes her pretty irritated that she didn't level up at all. 156 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:19,600 I when you say you killed over ten thousand and 157 00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:23,320 didn't level up, it does sound bonkers, But I just 158 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,639 think that she's probably leveled up to such a degree 159 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,519 that something this low level barely fucking like makes a dent, 160 00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:35,480 you know what I'm saying. So this is when a 161 00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:39,200 song starts playing some halloween sounding techno heavy metal songs 162 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,440 started to blast. I definitely heard it before, but I 163 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,440 couldn't remember the title. It was a car racing song 164 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,720 about witches and ditches. If this is something that anybody 165 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,639 is aware of the title of the song, feel free 166 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,480 to share. It won't mean anything to me, you know. 167 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,159 It's the sort of thing that maybe if I heard it, 168 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,879 I might know, but I'd never know song titles, and 169 00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,440 I never know artists names. I'm really not good with that. 170 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:12,240 But uh yeah, it's a a like really it's appropriate 171 00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:16,080 to the situation. But later Carl is very adamant that 172 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,759 music is not going to be a thing again because 173 00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:24,320 it's distracting and difficult to communicate and really frustrating. I 174 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:26,559 love that Dona is just like, where is the music 175 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:33,159 even coming from? Where are the speakers? We also have 176 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,480 to bring the ghouls into play here and use them 177 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,039 to get rid of as many of these things as possible, 178 00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:48,480 and they are described as doing an admirable job, but 179 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,840 they still get overwhelmed. It's just there's fucking too many 180 00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:57,559 of them for just the two of them. And really, 181 00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:02,080 these NPCs that are like brought into this race, the 182 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,279 ones that are in the race we know seem to 183 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,960 be like awakened, but I can't tell if the ones 184 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:16,840 that are conscripted from Hungry Eyes hungry, I don't know 185 00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:20,320 if they are awakened. Do they know what they are 186 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:29,320 and are they If they are, and they get hired 187 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,679 by somebody that wins, are they going to get let out? 188 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,799 Will that work? Will that apply to them? Probably not. 189 00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:41,960 I have to assume that, like the deal the AI makes, 190 00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:47,000 is solely working for the teams that are that it 191 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,600 makes that agreement with. So let's say I'm trying to 192 00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:57,600 find the bit here above the rockets cork screwed down 193 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,639 toward the distant unicorn. A new shield appeared about them, 194 00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:07,240 this one glowing purple. The denial of service missiles weren't 195 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,039 meant to kill. Each impact caused a chemical reaction that 196 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,799 triggered a thick mucous membrane to form over a wide area. 197 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,720 In this case, the three missiles utterly covered the round 198 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:21,960 shield with a thick goo, making it so they couldn't 199 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,600 see they were now encased in the green slime. They 200 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,879 could turn off the shield, but the sledge would just 201 00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:30,200 fall upon them and get stuck in the vines, which 202 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:36,159 Mordecai insisted would slow them to a crawl. And that 203 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:42,159 later on basically assures that these two are their mortal enemies, 204 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:47,799 which I can't help but understand. I mean, we know 205 00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:50,000 that it's not that we wanted you guys to die, 206 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,240 We just want to slow you down. Well, whether you 207 00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:55,399 wanted us to die or not, we still might have 208 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,240 and we also want to fucking win, So fuck you. 209 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:05,679 You know, I can't blame them. I yanked the chain, 210 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,480 raising the ghoul into the air. It would have to 211 00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:10,440 open the cage all the way and climb to the 212 00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:13,039 roof of the truck. There he'd move forward to deal 213 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,919 with the enemies coming from the front, but it would 214 00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:17,879 take them a few moments to get in place. And 215 00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,600 the way that this all goes down is just pure chaos. 216 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,440 I keep trying to make myself slow down when I 217 00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:29,240 am listening to the audio book. There's a tendency when 218 00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:32,840 I get into like a really intense action sequence, I 219 00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:34,960 have a tendency to sort of let it wash over 220 00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:38,159 me and really lose track of where everybody is and 221 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,480 have no serious mental picture of exactly what's going on. 222 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,320 And honestly, a lot of the time that's fine, but 223 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,120 there are moments in this I think, where it really 224 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,799 helps to understand what's going on if I am able 225 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,960 to keep everything in my mind straight. Because you can 226 00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,480 get in the weeds due to all of the factors. 227 00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:08,240 You know, let's see Donut lean forward and cast her 228 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,839 level fifteen wall of fire, which had been powered up 229 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,200 to level sixteen. Whoa shit, I shouted as the wall appeared, 230 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,400 running parallel with the side of the truck. There was 231 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,799 a good thirty feet between us and the flames, but 232 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,240 it still felt like we were way too close. I 233 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,960 glalked as the wall rapidly raced ahead, reaching far into 234 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,720 the distance. The flames went straight up, easily one hundred 235 00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:35,839 feet into the air. The line had to be a 236 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,640 mile long, to which Gluteus screams heavy fucking metal, which, 237 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,119 honestly that's valid. Yeah, one hundred foot high wall that 238 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,759 goes for like over a mile. I mean, that's insane. 239 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:56,759 But so anyway, that's when she says, I killed over 240 00:17:56,839 --> 00:17:58,799 ten thousand and I didn't even go up a level. 241 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,400 A giant beetle thing shows up, like he sees at 242 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,400 the bottom of the hill. This is the skull of 243 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,160 tam who, up until a few days ago resided with 244 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,720 within the nothing. We borrowed different parts of his corpse 245 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:19,039 for different races because he was really badass looking. It's 246 00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:22,240 too bad your friend Odette wasted him. The moment he appeared, 247 00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:25,440 but alas waste not want not still you might want 248 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,039 to take a note of the size of this thing. 249 00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:33,519 He has friends who are still alive, and the skull 250 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,359 indicates that it is the height of a three story building, 251 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:47,480 which is bonkers. I mean, I don't even you know anyway, 252 00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:50,680 do you ever have moments where something is described to 253 00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:52,559 you in a scale that you're just sort of like, 254 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,640 I can't even really picture that there's Rashaan and I 255 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,920 were talking about this recently on the Dress and Files 256 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,279 episode that we recorded yesterday, on the short story Monster, 257 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,400 and there is a point where there's a Bengal tiger 258 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,359 that shows up, and she and I got to talking 259 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,079 about how there are some animals that are so enormous 260 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,759 that it's like, you know, we don't really have a 261 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,960 frame of reference. And I shared with her a picture 262 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,119 of some wild bore and just like I had not 263 00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:30,680 understood just how fucking huge they get. And this sort 264 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,079 of thing can be difficult for my brain to fully 265 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,599 process as well. I was thinking the other day as well, 266 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,799 because of it being like the what thirtieth anniversary maybe 267 00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:47,160 of the drop of Independence Day the Will Smith movie, 268 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,559 there's a moment in that where the camera like kind 269 00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:54,799 of focuses abruptly and you're able to get a sense 270 00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:58,119 of how big the spaceship hovering over an area is. 271 00:19:58,759 --> 00:20:04,400 And it's a really like beautiful bit of effects where 272 00:20:05,319 --> 00:20:08,519 the size of it just makes you go oh shit 273 00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:12,359 for a second. Even now in twenty twenty six, that 274 00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:15,480 is a moment that every time it happens, I'm just like, God, damn, 275 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,480 they really nailed that moment. Man, I made my fucking 276 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,079 mouth drop open. Folks in the chat are saying the 277 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,160 song is rob Zombie Dragula. I am loving that. Saraphim's 278 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:38,000 autocorrect put Robin Zombie. That is really funny. And let's see, 279 00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:42,440 I'm trying to find this bit here. This is the 280 00:20:43,279 --> 00:20:46,079 update that he gets from Joshua. We're almost through the chop. 281 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,200 The shield is keeping the fuckers back. You got the 282 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,799 dominators on your ass and we're right behind. Geomi says, 283 00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:54,599 We're in trouble. We can't see they're everywhere. Your missiles 284 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,640 detonated too early over the fine pigs and goo went 285 00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:01,119 all over the place, including over Onnika Kuma. I do 286 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,400 not know where the jugglers are, but they are back 287 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,880 with us. I think maybe behind us the road is 288 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,960 too steep for Ony. He keeps stumbling. I'm telling you, 289 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,839 I know that she can go wrong with a mechanical 290 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,400 mount but I just that makes me sad to hear 291 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,839 it makes me worried for its well being and health. 292 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,240 I can't handle that kind of stress on top of everything. 293 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,960 I just absolutely no question. Mechanical do not at me. 294 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:37,480 So Wave three is commencing and they come up through 295 00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:40,599 the road, which Glutius is like, get ready for some crunchy, 296 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:46,799 lumpy speed bumps. We lurched again, gaining air before crashing 297 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,400 down as the colorful skulls started exploding all around us. 298 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,200 They weren't just falling from the sky. It was like 299 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,839 they were being shot downward out of a cannon. None 300 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,920 seemed to actually survive the fall, instead exploding like hey, 301 00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:05,200 all around us, and we lose both of the Ghoul 302 00:22:05,279 --> 00:22:10,799 mercenaries as I previously had mentioned. And this is when 303 00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:13,279 he calls out, we're going too fast. We need to 304 00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:19,480 slow down, Donut Macaroni, And this is when we get 305 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,160 the uh where is it? Donut could choose the size, shape, 306 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:31,599 and direction of the giant tube of pasta. She chose 307 00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:39,440 uncooked dried canneloni. It is canneloni. Oh my god, I 308 00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:41,960 guess that makes sense. I was saying that they would 309 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,400 be too big and ungainly, because I'm thinking that you 310 00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:51,400 want something that's like more a bullet size. But so 311 00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:56,319 for those who are unfamiliar, canneloni are about the size 312 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,200 of like a trying to think of a good frame 313 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,160 of reference here, they're about the size of like a 314 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,599 Christmas cracker, you know, the things that you pull both ends, 315 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,839 just a tube in the middle. I guess, like sort 316 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,279 of a toilet paper tube size. Actually it's like fair. 317 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:22,880 They're hollow, round tubes, but they are quite wide so 318 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,680 that they can be stuffed and then putting, you know, 319 00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:28,640 put into a casserole dish covered in sauce and baked 320 00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:32,920 usually so uh, I was thinking that that was going 321 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,440 to be like an ungainly size that would catch too 322 00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:39,319 much air because it's so hollow and light. But I'm 323 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:46,160 not accommodating the overall like probably the way that the 324 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,079 spell would account for exactly that sort of thing and 325 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:55,599 adjust to make it as efficient as possible. And then 326 00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:59,559 he says, here, uh, the pasta was at least a 327 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:05,480 foot thick, making it pretty strong. I don't understand how 328 00:24:05,559 --> 00:24:10,000 that's possible. It's a cantaloni that's a foot thick, So 329 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:17,440 it's a giant round like with a tiny hole in 330 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,839 the center in comparison. Is that right? I'm trying. I 331 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:29,880 can't quite picture this. We bumped heavily into the tube ahead. 332 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,319 Another tunnel appeared, then another, So how it like there 333 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,359 big enough to go into? This was you see what 334 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:43,759 I'm saying, Guys with like uh? Anyway, there was space 335 00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:46,559 between each giant tube and in those brakes the sugar 336 00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:50,200 hermits surged. A skull was suddenly in the cab, having 337 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,480 come through the missing windshield. It exploded, but when I 338 00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:55,640 pulled my fist back, the purple thing living inside the 339 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,440 skull was still attached to the gauntlet, which is horrifying. 340 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,400 There comes a point where he tries to message Yasha 341 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:13,359 and he gets you can't message deceased NPCs. The Wild 342 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,200 Hunt had been eliminated due to the death of all 343 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,880 team members, and we find out later that Yasha was 344 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,920 already in talks with somebody to try and kill all 345 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:27,319 of them. That's pretty understandable. I mean, everybody's going to 346 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,160 be on their business. You know, I keep saying Yasha, 347 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,319 but I'm thinking that it's Josha. It's looking it's difficult 348 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,559 to tell with this font. And Giome, I think, is 349 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:42,599 the one that was actually in charge, right, So she's 350 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,440 the one that was like at the front of trying 351 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,880 to make sure that somebody else would kill them. Also, 352 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,640 his scavenger's daughter gets activated here, which I got really 353 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960 worried about because he's forgotten to fuck with it before 354 00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:59,279 and like, get it out. He does not forget it's done, 355 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,680 thank god. But I definitely had a moment of this 356 00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:04,960 fucking thing because it's like, see if they're you know, 357 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,599 it's a game changer. It definitely is. But my god, 358 00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:12,599 at what cost? That's like, literally, that could be the 359 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,359 tagline for this entire series is just at what cost? 360 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,599 And this is when Donut gets like a face hugger 361 00:26:22,759 --> 00:26:28,640 essentially on her. Before anyone could react, multiple arms appeared 362 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,319 from the car seat and violently ripped the thing off her. 363 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:40,799 The skull and creature within were torn to shreds. Carl, 364 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,400 I'm so sorry, but I'm gonna need a little bit 365 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,119 of an apology from you to your viewers who voted 366 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:54,039 on an incredibly dope fucking upgrade. Actually, like I really 367 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,960 just this is ideal, and I do not understand why 368 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,279 you don't see it, but that is remarkable. And the 369 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,000 multifunctional quality of this is like a dream and also 370 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:17,119 completely ideal, wet dream advertising for this actual product that 371 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,640 you could buy in that universe. I can't imagine the 372 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,799 people who produce this seeing it at work. They must 373 00:27:23,839 --> 00:27:28,880 be so ecstatic because it is. It's gotta be flying 374 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:36,640 off the shelves right like, my goodness, so let's see. 375 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,440 This is when he activates Daughter's kiss because he's holding 376 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,839 onto the steering wheel. Now the gluteus has passed out. 377 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,640 I tensed, intent on ramming the kaiju skull with my 378 00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:52,160 giant feet. Fuck you, came a new shout just as 379 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,119 we were about to make contact. The shout was so 380 00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:57,559 loud I could hear it over the roar of the engines. 381 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,880 It was Dwight the unicorn zooming up from our left, 382 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,799 a giant cannon hanging out the side of their speeding, 383 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,599 slime covered vine. I ripped the steering wheel to the 384 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,039 left just as they fired. The food truck flipped as 385 00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:13,720 the cannon blast tore through the side causing the tail 386 00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:16,000 and to whip up to the right. As we spun 387 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,880 like a badly tossed football. My feet came in contact 388 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,440 with the kaiju skull, which exploded as we rapidly spun, 389 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,599 continuing to rise in the air as our back end 390 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,960 clipped against the GGO, which had also been hit. Then 391 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,880 the front of the rapidly deteriorating food truck also hit 392 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,720 the vine, which likewise flew up into the air. I 393 00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:38,880 let go of the steering wheel as the truck spun 394 00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:41,799 over my head. All three of the dominators were thrown 395 00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:44,400 from their vehicle as they passed over the finish line, 396 00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:53,000 and his kangaroo skin gets flayed off. He breaks like 397 00:28:53,200 --> 00:29:00,240 all major bones basically, and reflects on the feet that, 398 00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:03,720 like any crash like that in the real world, every single, 399 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:08,839 solitary one of them would be dead, no question. The 400 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,000 vine had tumbled to a stop near me and it 401 00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:14,440 was on fire. My kangaroo feet were literally on fire. 402 00:29:14,759 --> 00:29:17,240 Both my arms were broken, both my legs were broken. 403 00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:20,640 Things inside me were crushed. I took a fine healing potion, 404 00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:26,279 waited a second, then took another, and it is rough. 405 00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:32,240 Carl is just I would like an inventory of just 406 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,960 how many times he has had certain bones broken, you know, 407 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:42,759 just out of curiosity. Quirky lay in a heap. There 408 00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:45,039 was a tear in his suit and some guts oozed out, 409 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:49,039 but he was still alive. Rapture was standing over Genesis, 410 00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:52,720 who was folded over herself in an unnatural pose. She 411 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,920 administered a healing potion to her partner, which fixes her. Unfortunately, 412 00:29:58,759 --> 00:30:00,279 I really don't like them, and I would like them 413 00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:02,400 to be out of it, but you know, what can 414 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:08,480 you do? And this is this is when we get. 415 00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:11,640 That's what you get. That's what you get. Dwight shouted, 416 00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:16,599 and just we're gonna shoot you motherfuckers fucking dead. That 417 00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:19,960 just the shit talk is it's it really doesn't feel 418 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,759 like shit talk when you reach this kind of level, 419 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:29,799 you know what I'm saying. Our truck was literally spread 420 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,279 all over the road. I don't even know what place 421 00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:35,079 we came, and we all crossed the finish line at 422 00:30:35,079 --> 00:30:38,119 the same time. I turned to watch the Unicorn team 423 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,720 enter the garage with a big two painted on the door. 424 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,119 And it turns out our people came in first place. 425 00:30:46,759 --> 00:30:50,480 Two teams were eliminated. There's nobody in sixth place, and 426 00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:54,079 a new team will be assigned soon, and Carl's like, 427 00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:56,279 I really hope it's in PC's but I have a 428 00:30:56,319 --> 00:31:00,359 feeling that's not gonna be. Like, the likelihood of that 429 00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:11,000 not great. Sorry. Oh, Seraphim says, she can choose the 430 00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:13,640 size and cranked it up to eleven. I forgot that 431 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,960 it mentioned that she could choose the size. I didn't 432 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,680 think that it was even like a possibility for it, 433 00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:24,519 you know what I'm saying. Oh, and Michael says, can 434 00:31:24,519 --> 00:31:26,359 we take that chair out of the food truck and 435 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:32,440 mount it to Mongo somehow? That's a really fantastic idea, Michael, obviously, 436 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,960 only if it can be mounted to Mango in a 437 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,880 way that is comfortable for him. Absolutely, of course, Seraphim says, 438 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,440 because Carl's a control freak who assumes anyone outside the 439 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,799 dungeon is an asshole just looking to fuck them over. Yeah, 440 00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:50,119 I really want him to take a moment and think 441 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,319 about this and realize that he needs to have a 442 00:31:54,319 --> 00:31:56,480 little bit more faith in the people out there and 443 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,799 that they maybe maybe there's plenty of trolls and people 444 00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:03,920 who like are not rooting for him in a real way, 445 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:10,680 but perhaps he hasn't been giving enough credit or alternatively, 446 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,160 the tone has simply changed as the game has really 447 00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:20,440 shifted into something else. There's all kinds of reasons why, 448 00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:24,720 but what it comes down to fundamentally is that I 449 00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:29,440 want him to have more faith that other people have 450 00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:34,480 his back, and at the very least want to keep 451 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:41,240 Donut alive. You know, the AI said that there are 452 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,559 too many crawlers left in one of its announcements, so yeah, 453 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,599 chances aren't great. It won't be another crawler team. Yeah. 454 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,839 The way that the AI was just like, I have 455 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,240 this idea and there's way too fucking many of you. 456 00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:55,279 It was a really dire pronouncement. Cordelia says, I would 457 00:32:55,319 --> 00:32:59,000 have called the Noodle Spell Olive Garden because the postabilities 458 00:32:59,079 --> 00:33:04,519 are endless. Cordelia, I'm going to fucking boot you. I'm 459 00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:08,599 going to ban you from all lives. I hate you. 460 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:19,839 Oh my god, that was very good. That was very good, Cordelia. Anyway, 461 00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:25,880 So Michael says, I literally also use the word literally 462 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,319 too often. Looking at my previous two posts, Michael Lisson, 463 00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:32,920 it is wild when you are editing your own podcast 464 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,839 to realize how many times do you use the same 465 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,720 turner phrase the like vocal tics that you have, and 466 00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:39,680 even when you're aware of them, it's not really like 467 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,400 you can control them. So I say, you know what 468 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,680 I mean. I mean, if you were playing a game 469 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,119 where you took a shot, you would be absolutely fucking 470 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,279 shit faced by the end of an episode. It's excessive. 471 00:33:56,759 --> 00:33:59,160 Dong says that he's going to be the one to 472 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,960 drive next race, which, uh, when Carl says we'll talk 473 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,720 about it, He's like, what even is there to discuss? 474 00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:12,159 And they turn and notice that the mounts from the 475 00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:18,079 two teams that died the Mounts are actually still alive, 476 00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:22,920 and Dona asks where do they go because they like 477 00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:26,679 cross back over the finish line and disappear, and Carl 478 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,960 says it doesn't matter, not here, And I'm like, do 479 00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:32,719 they go into that cold because it sounds like everybody 480 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:38,199 who isn't like out is in a dark, cold place 481 00:34:38,599 --> 00:34:49,400 where they are starved, which sounds fucking awful. Anyway, Doctor 482 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,320 Metcalf is being a huge bitch and complaining about how 483 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,559 she's in so many pieces and donuts like at least 484 00:34:55,599 --> 00:34:58,239 be one. The GPS took on a mocking tone, and 485 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:04,239 thethy one donut huffed indignantly. You really must make an 486 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,360 effort to be nicer to the team. We're doing our 487 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:12,159 best anyway. The GPS unit beeped. I hate her. I 488 00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:14,280 hate her so much. The fact that she hates that 489 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:20,199 chair for donut is really interesting too. I find it. Obviously, 490 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,480 it is very funny and it adds like a certain 491 00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:25,920 wrinkle to things. But I also just want to know why, 492 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,440 you know, And I have to assume that it's like 493 00:35:31,679 --> 00:35:35,519 the seat is replacing the function of a regular seat 494 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,760 in the vehicle, and maybe it's like you're infringing on 495 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,559 my territory or something. I don't know, but uh, yeah, 496 00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:45,760 they have a beef. Well, it seems pretty one sided. 497 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,480 I don't know if the chair has a beef with 498 00:35:47,559 --> 00:35:54,519 the with doctor Dorona or doctor Metcalf, sorry Dorona's from 499 00:35:54,679 --> 00:36:00,840 Forecos again, or perhaps well, I will say that the 500 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,840 one time doctor Metcalf was like, she said something shitty 501 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:15,079 about donut. The the chair says something like your enemies 502 00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:19,880 will be green with envy, and then doctor Metcalf says something, 503 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:27,480 and Derooda says, see just like I said, which could 504 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,920 imply that the beef is mutual, but also could simply 505 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:37,039 be circumstantial. I don't know. We find out that the 506 00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:39,920 next heat is going to be in seven hours, which 507 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,840 is like much shorter, and it seems like we're getting 508 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,280 a smaller and smaller break between each of the races. 509 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:57,800 Don't like that. I at the same time, between times, 510 00:36:58,159 --> 00:37:09,239 what we're getting some downtime that isn't necessarily like. What 511 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,320 I want to say is the gremlins are the ones 512 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,519 who prepare the food truck. You choose one of the 513 00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:21,840 upgrades that gets put into place by somebody else, so 514 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,159 you're not in charge of that. The main thing that 515 00:37:25,199 --> 00:37:28,840 you've got to do between is find mercenaries, right so 516 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,760 that will agree to drive or ride with you, and 517 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,320 maybe like brainstorm about some things you could do with 518 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,840 your spells regarding the upcoming terrain and whatnot. What I 519 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,719 mean is that there isn't a lot fit that you 520 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,079 need that time for to get through the races. It's 521 00:37:52,119 --> 00:37:58,320 just the races are dangerous and exhausting, which fair, But 522 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,320 there there's a sense of having more of a break 523 00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:11,280 on this floor between urgent moments of violence than usual. 524 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,480 Probably this is an illusion, you know, but I don't know. 525 00:38:17,559 --> 00:38:21,679 I feel like it's sort of welcome. We also have 526 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,320 like beds that are able to revitalize you as if 527 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,079 you had a full night sleep within like twenty minutes, 528 00:38:28,199 --> 00:38:30,119 you know. Or maybe they have the ones that you 529 00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:37,639 just walk across now I don't remember. So let's see. 530 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,400 Immani and Ellie had come in second place, but they 531 00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:43,159 lost another two teams, including the one crawler team that 532 00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:46,119 had joined them this race. Flora and Lucia had come 533 00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:49,159 in first, but they had lost three teams. Prepotenti and 534 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,599 Jurgen had also won and they hadn't lost any Chris's 535 00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:56,000 Big Brig had come in third place. Louis, Brittany and 536 00:38:56,039 --> 00:38:58,320 Batista had survived, but they were the last of the 537 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,440 survivors again, meaning they'd get an audience vote. Their replacement 538 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,840 team had been another group of NPCs, and they'd taken 539 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,280 them out right at the beginning. Louis team was in 540 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:13,599 trouble as they still didn't have proper tires. That worries me. Listen, 541 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,360 we just bottomed out on the way to the car 542 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,800 the dog park again, and I just I hate the 543 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,039 thought of that with especially these fucking skulls, Like if 544 00:39:23,039 --> 00:39:26,599 they get jammed under a lowrider and they could just 545 00:39:26,639 --> 00:39:28,840 bring you to a complete hult like a sedan in 546 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,480 the snow, you know, like yeah, no row, real bad. 547 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,599 Everyone's races were all different the next race, so it 548 00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:39,480 sounded like Imani and Eli's team would be on the 549 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,000 same track as us, which worried me. We do get 550 00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:47,800 a description eventually about what the next race is going 551 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,639 to be like, and I believe there's a mention of 552 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:58,000 like acid rain here it is uh. Note there will 553 00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:00,800 be a single mandatory refueling pit stop along this route. 554 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,320 Pitstop will be within the lost jungle city of Upano. 555 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:10,480 Real interested, extremely curious. This is ninety nine kilometers by 556 00:40:10,519 --> 00:40:15,360 the way, This upcoming one track the you're gonna die 557 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,039 if you go in here jungle trail of tremendous cannibalistic slaughter. 558 00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:32,960 Oh man. There are a variety of surfaces, none paved, 559 00:40:33,159 --> 00:40:37,119 at least not with asphalt. Don't like the sound of that. 560 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,599 Tasks required to complete certain paths have a unique task 561 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,079 special rules. Your vehicle will have a special containment unit 562 00:40:48,159 --> 00:40:51,079 surrounding you for this race. More info on that coming. 563 00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:53,599 You will also share this track with three other heats. 564 00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:57,880 Special rules regarding this will be announced soon. Environment it'll 565 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,599 be a jungle filled with horrifying traps and monsters and 566 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,599 vaguely racist and definitely over exaggerated themes based on grindhouse 567 00:41:04,599 --> 00:41:08,719 and exploitation cinema, but with racing added to the mix, 568 00:41:09,679 --> 00:41:13,480 they'll be acid rain too, hazards. The whole damn track 569 00:41:13,559 --> 00:41:21,679 is a hazard time limit twenty hours, So I guess 570 00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:23,559 when you point out that this is going to be 571 00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:27,119 a twenty hour race, the breaks getting shorter between does 572 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,840 suck because this race didn't take remotely as long, you know, 573 00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:36,559 So what is it paved with? What's it paved with? 574 00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:40,559 Human skulls, femur bones? Like right, it's cannibalistic, I have 575 00:41:40,639 --> 00:41:48,199 to assume, really really not looking forward to the uh, 576 00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:56,440 vaguely racist listen. Referring to the things that I said 577 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,000 at the beginning of the show regarding how certain people 578 00:41:59,079 --> 00:42:03,400 see the way some things are written a certain way, 579 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:08,599 there is a valid argument to be made, not necessarily here. 580 00:42:08,679 --> 00:42:15,400 I'm just giving an example that sometimes in me there 581 00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:18,679 is a way that like shows will try to lampshade 582 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,079 a racist joke in order to make it okay that 583 00:42:21,119 --> 00:42:24,840 they told a racist joke by being like, oh my god, 584 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,079 that's so racist, so that it's like they give themselves 585 00:42:28,119 --> 00:42:32,039 an out by acknowledging it, and therefore it's fine and 586 00:42:32,039 --> 00:42:36,800 they can just kind of do it. And there, you know, 587 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,320 community with peerce has been accused of this again. I 588 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,280 don't really agree with that. I see it. I understand 589 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,320 what people mean by that, but I don't really think 590 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,400 that's what's happening there. I think that Pierce is the joke, 591 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:55,000 you know, and the racism is so absurd that it 592 00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:58,159 isn't like it turns itself around, you know what I'm saying. 593 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,880 But uh, well, see how this is handled. I am curious, 594 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:11,119 so I'm trying to find this bit here. Here it 595 00:43:11,159 --> 00:43:14,800 is Rosetta, Tippet and I are already in town at 596 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,360 the mercenary market. Need anything, a driver and defense fast reflexes. 597 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,199 Will need at least two who can drive, since neither 598 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:27,199 Donut nor I can connect race nobody too crazy, Rosetta. 599 00:43:27,559 --> 00:43:30,320 Prices will be double because you lost the last two 600 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,960 mercenaries we hired, Carl, It's okay, just get the best 601 00:43:34,039 --> 00:43:39,639 you can. Prices will be double rough, and it turns 602 00:43:39,639 --> 00:43:47,920 out it's more than that, but we'll be there so anyway. 603 00:43:48,039 --> 00:43:50,840 Carl's out of his kangaroo suit, which is great, and 604 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:56,559 Donut says, you've been exfoliated. Wow. I mean that costume 605 00:43:56,639 --> 00:44:00,800 is super gross, but you look amazing. Your complexion is fantastic. 606 00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:07,000 Which nice perk? You know, acid does that. It's actually 607 00:44:07,159 --> 00:44:10,440 what I use to do certain skincare things. And like 608 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,199 I will have you know y'all, I am not wearing 609 00:44:14,199 --> 00:44:17,800 any foundation or anything right now. This is just my skin, 610 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,800 which is like, I'm lucky to have decent skin. I 611 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:30,400 have lipstick on. That's my one bit of makeup. So sorry. 612 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,599 There's a moment here where Samantha is talking to Dona 613 00:44:33,679 --> 00:44:37,440 about maybe using this weird acid from the suit in 614 00:44:37,519 --> 00:44:42,079 her skincare thing like as a new product line, and 615 00:44:42,639 --> 00:44:47,159 she says something about how we're not using animal testing 616 00:44:47,199 --> 00:44:55,239 on any products, well at least not publicly. Tippotum Rosta entered, 617 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,800 followed by three mercenaries who looked about the room with 618 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,199 wide eyed wonder. They were a levels seventy five female 619 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,760 groky frog, eleven ninety six flaming fire fairy who was 620 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,280 about donut size, and one of those badger guys who 621 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:13,159 were usually bartenders, and a porsuck. That one was level 622 00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:17,320 eighty one. I'm really wondering how somebody as tiny as 623 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,519 Donut could drive. I'm sure there's a way. But you know, 624 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,519 this is Team Helix, a three for one mercenary squad 625 00:45:25,559 --> 00:45:28,679 working together for some time, already raised in two heats, 626 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,559 coming in first and second. The time he came in 627 00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:34,320 second doesn't count. The grokey said that demon with the 628 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,039 chains was cheating, killed one of the two clients and 629 00:45:37,159 --> 00:45:40,440 killed our friend Hillado, which a lot of means ice 630 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,639 cream in Spanish. Just wanted to mention that I love 631 00:45:43,639 --> 00:45:45,679 it would have killed the rest of us too, if 632 00:45:45,679 --> 00:45:48,119 her partner hadn't stopped her. Finally got a scratch on 633 00:45:48,159 --> 00:45:53,280 her though, And there comes an amazing moment with the 634 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,079 Poor Suck where Samantha comes up and flirts and he 635 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,639 flirts back, and then she's like, yeah, let's fucking do 636 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,719 this and he really does not know how to handle this, 637 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:12,320 and I love this so much. Guys. Look, there's a 638 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:17,119 moment in a Sex and the City episode where a 639 00:46:17,199 --> 00:46:21,280 bunch of construction workers are cat calling Miranda and one 640 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,320 of them says something like, I got what you need, 641 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,599 and Miranda hasn't been laid in a while, and so 642 00:46:26,639 --> 00:46:28,920 she stops and she's like you got what I need. 643 00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:31,920 I need a good fucking you wanna do you want 644 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,360 to do that? And he literally is like, lady, ease up, 645 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,320 I'm married. And she's like, well, look the fuck are 646 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,920 you talking shit for? I'm wasting my time? And uh, 647 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,199 it's very funny to me, the idea of like just 648 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,519 immediately actually going for somebody who's cat calling you and 649 00:46:47,559 --> 00:46:51,880 calling their bluff that they like, actually, don't you know 650 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,760 what I'm saying, like, just yeah, let's go do this. 651 00:46:55,079 --> 00:46:57,880 Oh you don't want to. Sometimes they'll probably take you 652 00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,679 up on it, but you just bring a knife and 653 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:06,760 hand your business. So anyway, this is when Kimata, who 654 00:47:08,119 --> 00:47:12,119 worships Embrass, looks over at Carl and says, it's going 655 00:47:12,199 --> 00:47:17,840 to be triple the price or we walk. So that's 656 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:25,920 what we're doing, and I have to find the moment 657 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,000 where she actually starts talking about here it is. I 658 00:47:30,039 --> 00:47:32,679 had a vision from our Lord Kimata the Fairy whispered 659 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,039 to me. He told me if I came across a 660 00:47:35,079 --> 00:47:37,519 fellow worshiper who was also a racer, that I was 661 00:47:37,519 --> 00:47:40,079 to help him in any way I could. We have 662 00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:43,280 been tasked with slaying his brother an impossible mission, yet, well, 663 00:47:43,639 --> 00:47:50,599 we must strive to compete complete And he's like, you 664 00:47:50,639 --> 00:47:52,480 said you were supposed to help me, but then you 665 00:47:52,559 --> 00:47:57,519 went and you made me raise the price. And she's like, well, 666 00:47:57,639 --> 00:48:01,000 we know we're going to die when we kill Hellic, 667 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,079 so having this extra money are going to help their families, 668 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,719 which I wonder if it really would, Like, I don't 669 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,960 know how any of this really works for them, you 670 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:19,360 know what I'm saying. I have already lost one friend 671 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,159 and I do not wish to lose more. This makes 672 00:48:21,199 --> 00:48:26,000 our martyr to much more comforting? Does it not prepare yourself? Brother? 673 00:48:26,079 --> 00:48:37,679 The unappeasable fire beckons us? Oh? Now, I mean not 674 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,480 being afraid of death could really work for against you, 675 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:48,679 depending you know what I'm saying. Anyway, Yeah, he's like, 676 00:48:49,599 --> 00:48:51,559 I think this might have been a mistake, but it's 677 00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:56,800 done now. Embers had told me directly that if I 678 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,920 killed this brother, he'd kill me for daring to complete 679 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,760 the quest he gave me, which yeah, really does fucking suck. 680 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,280 And he's essentially in a position of like, I have 681 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,039 to kill Embers, but I have no idea how we 682 00:49:07,039 --> 00:49:12,760 would ever do that. So he says something like we're 683 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,239 not ready to face heleck before they get interrupted by 684 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,039 Imani and Louis, and I'm worried that like saying this 685 00:49:18,119 --> 00:49:20,599 and then getting cut off, that maybe it's going to 686 00:49:22,199 --> 00:49:27,039 something about his lack of faith or intent is going 687 00:49:27,079 --> 00:49:31,599 to like bother her and make her less cooperative somehow, 688 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:37,400 I don't know. This is when we get heiress e 689 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,280 r I s by the way, because every time they 690 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,960 say it in the audiobook, I think they're saying h 691 00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:48,000 e I r e s s like of the female 692 00:49:48,039 --> 00:49:54,920 inheritor of something. This is the goddess of chaos. And 693 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,039 everybody gets frozen except for Carl, because she wants to 694 00:49:59,119 --> 00:50:04,480 talk to him. She has the fucking oozy Jesus with her, 695 00:50:05,039 --> 00:50:07,960 which is amazing that now she's got this weird, little 696 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:17,480 like sidekick. And she says, you summoned me, and Carl's 697 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,159 like no, and she's like I felt summoned. And he 698 00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:25,960 realizes that he was thinking of her and feels chill, 699 00:50:26,079 --> 00:50:29,119 like just thinking of her somehow managed to manifest her, 700 00:50:29,119 --> 00:50:33,039 which is pretty terrifying, Like, yeah, I don't care for 701 00:50:33,079 --> 00:50:45,639 that one little bit. So this conversation is boils down 702 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:52,159 to hey man, you are like exactly my type, and 703 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,280 it'd be a real shame if I were to kill 704 00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,400 all your friends or don'tnut or something. Maybe you should 705 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:10,000 just worship me because you almost are already, and then 706 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:15,960 I'll help you not only survive here, but also I'll 707 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,079 help you deal with fucking embrass who sucks, and it 708 00:51:20,159 --> 00:51:23,199 will be my pleasure, and that way you won't have 709 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:30,719 that bullshit to cope with, which, you know, the whole 710 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:38,760 thing is just you're It's just every time you're fucked. 711 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,480 You know, there's never been a moment with the gods 712 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,880 where it has felt like there is really any choice 713 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:52,599 at all. Of course there is, but the choices are 714 00:51:52,639 --> 00:51:55,519 a horrific thing that's going to be hugely dangerous for 715 00:51:55,599 --> 00:51:59,840 you and your friends, or the death of you and 716 00:52:00,199 --> 00:52:06,039 friends and a really horrible death usually as well, which 717 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,000 you know, if the choices are between death and the thing, 718 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,239 I really want to say that it's like not really 719 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:17,480 a choice anymore in this sense. You know, it just 720 00:52:17,679 --> 00:52:21,599 really sucks because I always want there to feel like 721 00:52:21,639 --> 00:52:26,760 there's a bit of what's the word I want here, 722 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,719 Like we need a shrewd judgment call, and we did 723 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,840 something that I think is actually going to pay off 724 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,280 or maybe the god wasn't thinking things completely through and 725 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,559 we know something, you know, like anything that makes it 726 00:52:38,599 --> 00:52:42,159 feel like we potentially could exploit an advantage down the road. 727 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,679 I never feel that way with the gods. It's always 728 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:53,960 that you get fucked. So it's rough trying to find 729 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,280 And let's see, you're running out of time, Carl. You 730 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,559 need to deal with your embras problem. Ditch him, worship me, 731 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,199 and I will protect you from his spite. We will 732 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,280 kill him and his brother and my half brother too, 733 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,320 but not yet. We have plans in motion and we 734 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,159 need all three. Their mother too has got to go. 735 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,320 But she's a special case. And he says, so what 736 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,119 do you get out of it? And she starts laughing 737 00:53:17,159 --> 00:53:20,079 and she's like, I want the ascendant throne de dooy. 738 00:53:21,159 --> 00:53:25,960 But that doesn't mean that only I win, like you 739 00:53:26,039 --> 00:53:28,840 will also win. You are an agent of chaos and 740 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:33,679 need me, and I happen to like you. So this 741 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:39,559 is kind of a perfect match, which Karl, being an 742 00:53:39,599 --> 00:53:43,519 agent of chaos is like just so valid. You know, 743 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,639 there's a part of me that wants to victim blame 744 00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:47,280 a little bit and just be like Carl. Maybe if 745 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,920 you were in such a chaos machine. This lady wouldn't 746 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,760 have taken such an interest, you know. But like that 747 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:59,719 is not at all fair. For now, three things need 748 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,639 to have. You need to make nice with a Kuma 749 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:05,320 and his merry band. He does have a way to 750 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,719 crack open the Pineapple cabaret. He thinks it's his exit ticket. 751 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,119 It's so much more than that, of course, which is 752 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,840 really interesting. The war majors will turn on you at 753 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,639 the end, probably, but not right away. I don't care 754 00:54:18,679 --> 00:54:21,000 what happens to them, as long as the path is open. 755 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,840 Just know it is a way for some of your 756 00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,800 friends to escape. When I win the ascendancy, I can 757 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,400 do whatever I want. I can send you and all 758 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,800 your friends there. I can take you to the surface. 759 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,840 I can rebuild your world if I want. All I 760 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,280 ask is one simple thing. You worship me, and I 761 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:46,320 mean truly worship, not just go through the motions. Such 762 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:53,000 a small price to pay, Such a small price to pay. 763 00:54:53,079 --> 00:54:57,599 What does it mean to truly worship her? What does 764 00:54:57,639 --> 00:55:02,039 that mean? I want him to ask that question, And 765 00:55:02,119 --> 00:55:05,199 again it doesn't really matter if he asks, because he 766 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,880 winds up being forced into this anyway fundamentally, so it's 767 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,559 not like the question would have enabled him to make 768 00:55:12,599 --> 00:55:16,039 a better choice, because this was going to happen no 769 00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:20,079 matter what. But I just want to know because what 770 00:55:20,159 --> 00:55:23,239 it feels like is that you're going to be in 771 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,719 a situation for which you have a plan, and in 772 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,079 order to worship me, you have to suddenly throw all 773 00:55:29,079 --> 00:55:31,239 those plans out the window and do something insane that 774 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,239 you didn't have, like you haven't conveyed to your friends, 775 00:55:36,039 --> 00:55:40,360 or I'm going to like suddenly do something bonkers from 776 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,039 the outside to fuck with your well laid plan, or 777 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,760 I don't know, you know, and like if he's already 778 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,639 an agent of chaos, and why does he need to 779 00:55:48,639 --> 00:55:51,920 do extra chaos, Like seems like he just kind of 780 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,320 got there naturally. Just let him do his thing, lady, 781 00:55:54,360 --> 00:56:00,440 I don't know, So let's see. Sorry, guys, I'm trying 782 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,760 to hear it is This is the coin, a five 783 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:08,559 sided coin. One side has like rip Dona, the other 784 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,519 Karl defeated with his feet cut off, a pile of 785 00:56:12,519 --> 00:56:15,440 dead bodies, with the caption most of my friends are dead. 786 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,679 One more time, me hanging by one foot from the 787 00:56:18,679 --> 00:56:20,559 branch of a tree. Though I had a smile on 788 00:56:20,599 --> 00:56:23,239 my face, the edges of the coin were filled with 789 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,719 player killer skulls. It read, I become what they accuse 790 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:31,199 me of. Before the ascendant is chosen, one of these 791 00:56:31,199 --> 00:56:34,639 four results has to happen, and she hands it over 792 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,679 to Uzi Jesus to flip and Carl grabs it in 793 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:44,760 mid air and she says, grab you chose the fifth side. 794 00:56:45,079 --> 00:56:51,239 Great chaos wins again. I felt the coin dissolved. When 795 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,400 I opened my fingers, it was gone, but I now 796 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,400 had a sirrel pattern tattooed on my palm. The pattern 797 00:56:58,599 --> 00:57:03,119 spun on its own, a slow motion signet tattoo. I 798 00:57:03,199 --> 00:57:07,360 tried to examine it, and the AI says, I don't 799 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,559 even know what the hell is is. This bitch is 800 00:57:09,599 --> 00:57:14,079 coloring outside the lines and that is, my friends. One 801 00:57:14,119 --> 00:57:16,679 of the more chilling moments I think of the series 802 00:57:16,719 --> 00:57:20,039 so far, that this is something that AI has to 803 00:57:20,119 --> 00:57:25,840 admit it does not know or understand, and this being 804 00:57:26,199 --> 00:57:28,199 is in here doing shit she's not meant to do, 805 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:33,199 and it can't do jackshit to stop her. I mean, 806 00:57:33,239 --> 00:57:37,079 we knew that, but it being acknowledged in this way 807 00:57:37,159 --> 00:57:44,199 is just upsetting. And he says, what is the fifth choice? 808 00:57:44,239 --> 00:57:47,400 And she says it's one of the other four choices, 809 00:57:47,519 --> 00:57:49,599 or two or three or all of them. Are none 810 00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:54,239 of them chaos random? She leaned forward and kissed me 811 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,519 on the lips. We'll see what you get, Carl, my 812 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,639 soon to be favorite warship. And that is the end 813 00:58:02,639 --> 00:58:07,880 of chapter thirty five. Yikes. I don't care for this 814 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,239 at all. This bitch is nuts, you know what I'm saying, 815 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:17,480 Like Christ's sake, Carl, just can anybody just get a 816 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,639 break in this dungeon? I know that we don't do that, 817 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:31,320 but can we just as a treat? I don't know anyway, 818 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,079 when I I'd like there are so many times with 819 00:58:34,159 --> 00:58:37,440 the series, guys, where I finish reading a section and 820 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,519 I have to go and check and double check that 821 00:58:41,639 --> 00:58:44,079 I'm not allowed to read anymore because I want to 822 00:58:44,159 --> 00:58:48,199 keep reading. This was one of those times where I 823 00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,000 finished this chapter and I was like, I'm gonna go 824 00:58:52,039 --> 00:58:55,440 double check. But honestly, even if I'm allowed to read more, 825 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,440 I don't think I'm doing that today because this just 826 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,440 bummed me out. So when I realized I didn't have 827 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,800 to read anymore, I was like, that's for the best. 828 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,440 I needed a break because this just felt so foreboding. 829 00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,400 All right, I am going to wrap this up. Thank 830 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,079 you all again so much for hanging out, for listening. 831 00:59:14,199 --> 00:59:17,360 Thank you to Michael for commissioning this again, and until 832 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:52,199 next time, Tululu motherfuckers. That was an unspoiled network podcast.
