Desmond and Justin have been dreaming about doing full length movie commentary
Speaker A: Thank the light, everybody. I am Desmond.
Speaker B: This is my hetero lifemate, pars Deoman, actually. Just kidding. I’m Justin. I’m Parsayoman on Twitter.
Speaker A: He’s too busy typing slander into, uh, my chat window to talk to you people out there, you fine, fine listeners out there. Thank you for joining us. We have something very special planned for the next couple of episodes. I have always wanted to do some full length commentaries for movies or shows or something, and it’s just, for whatever reason, it’s never worked out. And I feel like, you know what? We’re at the beginning of this adventure. Everyone’s just finished the first season. They’re probably going to do a rewatch. This would be a really fun way to do a rewatch. We’re going to sync up with you, we’re going to hit play, and we’re just going to bullshit our way through the episodes.
Speaker C: No pausing. Uh, if I got a pee, then.
Speaker A: You’Re just going to have to deal with the silence. If fatty’s doing shots, you’re just going.
Speaker C: To have to be jealous.
Speaker A: I don’t know what else to tell you, bro.
Speaker B: Uh, we’ve been dreaming about commentary since we used to watch the clerks coming. I didn’t know what a commentary track was until you’re like, hey, these dvds, man, they got these commentary tracks and then we started watching them. And I’ll never forget, one of my favorite ones was the fear and loathing one with Hunter s. Thompson.
Speaker C: Yes.
Speaker B: And if any of you are fans of the movie fear and loathing, find the criterion collection and find one with his. He calls and leaves Johnny Depp a nasty message. Actually, he leaves Johnny Depp a cool message. He calls Benicio del Toro and calls him like a scumbag. He’s like, you’re not answering the phone because of your goddamn wretched ambition. He goes out and shoots a shotgun.
Speaker A: Even if you’re not a fan of that movie, if you’re fond of good, just random human beingness, that is classic.
Speaker B: Yeah, just random off the cusp funniness. Hunter s. Thompson was a crazy son.
Speaker D: Of a bitch ever.
Speaker C: Sorry to cut you off.
Speaker A: My first ever commentary was a double vhs of the movie scream, and the second vhs had the commentary track on.
Speaker B: That’s a random one for a commentary track. I swear to God, I think it was like clerks or something because there was, like, the clerks guys.
Speaker D: They had a jay and silent Bob commentary.
Speaker B: They had, like, uh, all the guy that the Scott Mosier had a commentary and Dante had a commentary. It was.
Speaker D: So that was the.
Speaker A: I think it was the mall rats one was the total classic where Jason muse kept nodding off and Ben Affleck kept kicking him.
Speaker B: Oh, uh, sweet, sweet heroine.
Speaker A: So good. Which he’s been. I think he’s been clean for way over ten years. That’s what got those two into podcasting, was that Kevin Smith was like, I need to keep you clean. So we’re going to turn on the why?
Speaker B: Did it give you a job?
Speaker A: Exactly. So this is the kind of great commentary that you’re in for. We are definitely not going to stay on track. We will chime in, we’ll talk about some interesting things about the movies, but we might just zone off and talk about Christmas dinner for a little while. And that’s okay.
Speaker B: Buckle in, you nerds.
Speaker A: All right, I’m going to hit play, and then we are going to talk about what we’re seeing on the screen so that we can make sure that we’re in sync, and then you guys can make sure in sync of your video and enjoy the ride.
Season one, episode two of the wheel of time, called shadows waiting
Speaker E: All right.
Speaker D: Uh, episode two, mfrs.
Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we forgot to. Not that it matters, but just to.
Speaker C: Keep everything in check, this is season.
Speaker A: One, episode two of the wheel of time, called shadows waiting. And another cool thing about us doing.
Speaker C: This is that the first time we.
Speaker A: Did the first four episodes, we banged them out in 2 hours because we.
Speaker C: Were a little bit behind. So it’s kind of nice to give.
Speaker A: Each one of these episodes, no matter.
Speaker C: How many tangents we take, give each one of these early episodes their due time. I have skipped the recap. We are at 59 seconds, and I’m hitting play now.
Speaker D: And cut.
Speaker B: I mean, go.
Speaker A: Oh, white tents.
Speaker D: Oh, that’s right. Oh, these fuckers.
Speaker A: Oh, my God. Episode two.
Speaker C: We’re in the shit. I think that’s what this was called.
Speaker A: Season one, episode two.
Speaker C: The wheel of time in the shit.
Speaker B: That was the name, uh, of the episode on the readers before they got ready for production.
Speaker C: Yeah, the production, uh, title.
Speaker B: I’m sorry. Whoever the costume designer is, they give.
Speaker D: Them a raise like everything’s money.
Speaker B: Dude, look at the sunburst. The sunbursts on the tents. How immaculate the tents are. Everyone is, like, sparkling white.
Speaker D: A big clue of if, uh, fuck the sunburst.
Speaker A: How do they film these reflections without.
Speaker C: Us seeing the camera?
Speaker E: What?
Speaker A: Watch this scene and watch how many times the camera is right in front.
Speaker C: Of a reflective surface.
Speaker E: Oh.
Speaker D: Editing.
Speaker A: It’ll get closer.
Speaker C: I mean, yeah, it must be CGI, but it’s amazing.
Speaker D: Well, this is a clue that it.
Speaker B: Is in our world, too, is. That is a delicacy from France that.
Speaker D: Is considered barbaric and, uh, kind of.
Speaker B: Went by the wayside of rich people being overly decadent. Uh, the whole bird with the bird bones poking out to burn your mouth.
Speaker D: And everything, or to make your mouth bleed.
Speaker C: Now we just put gold flakes on chocolate.
Speaker D: Oh, her hands are.
Speaker C: Why did I not notice that?
Speaker D: You didn’t see that the first time.
Speaker A: I did not. I thought he walked up and took it off her hand. I mean, he did take it off.
Speaker C: Her hand, but I didn’t realize he took his hand.
Speaker B: Took it off her hand. All right.
Speaker C: Off her arm first.
Speaker D: And the irony of this is, like.
Speaker B: I’m gathering by her clothes, I didn’t see her color of her ring. He picked it up.
Speaker D: But I’m guessing she’s a yellow. And they are healers, so it’s like, is it a yellow one? Yes, she’s totally a yellow.
Speaker C: Yeah, she’s yellow as fuck.
Speaker D: So they dedicate themselves to healing. Look how his hands are all bloody.
Speaker B: Look at this.
Speaker D: How do they film that? He’s such a shitbag. That’s CGI, because they’re not burning her. That’s how I know.
All right, this is our first shot at the opening. Ta definitely apologize on these
Speaker C: All right, this is our first shot at the opening.
Speaker D: Oh, right.
Speaker B: That’s right. Because they didn’t do it in the.
Speaker D: First one, did they?
Speaker C: No.
Speaker E: Nice.
Speaker B: No, he’s just, uh.
Speaker D: Oh, God, he’s such a dirt bag. Fucking Eamon Valda. Hate you.
Speaker C: We got scoundrels. Dirt bags. We are not skipping the intro. Everybody weaving.
Speaker D: I wonder what this is. I wonder what the gold is.
Speaker B: Uh, I’m guessing maybe that’s, like, the power or something.
Speaker A: Well, there’s gold. There’s green.
Speaker C: Oh, you’re right.
Speaker A: There is an awful lot of. They’re really focused. Well, gold is. What’s.
Speaker C: Her face is naive.
Speaker E: I don’t know.
Speaker B: I mean, like I said, I’m sure this has meaning. Like, I’m sure that this lady right here was a very famous red. Famous, uh, person of the red aja. Uh, I’m sure these aren’t just random pictures.
Speaker D: Like, this person, that lady. I don’t know.
Speaker A: Gold seems to be the intertwining color. Like, they have all of the colors.
Speaker C: Of the AES sedai represented, and then gold is what binds them.
Speaker B: I kind of think gold is representing the power.
Speaker D: Yeah, maybe, but they did a killer job on that. The serpent eating its own tail.
Speaker C: Is it rafe or rafa?
Speaker D: Rafe. Rafe. Judkins. Ta definitely apologize on these, because if.
Speaker B: There’S any music that comes up, I probably will sing and it will probably sound terrible. So sorry to all people listening.
Speaker E: It.
Speaker B: Uh, seems like a little nod to Lord of the rings. Getting out of the.
Speaker D: You know, remember.
Speaker B: When they cross the water to get away from the nargles or whatever.
Speaker E: When.
Speaker D: They go to the elf and land, uh.
Speaker A: Oh, they go in the water.
Speaker B: If they can run across it and stuff, it’s fine.
Speaker D: Uh, what’s that specifically say?
Speaker C: Deep water.
Speaker B: Yeah, or running water, especially if it’s.
Speaker D: Over their heads, they don’t swim. But that’s also to show how hard.
Speaker B: They’Re being pushed because they won’t even cross stuff like that unless, uh, a mudra fade or whatever is on there, like basically whipping them. Go, go.
Speaker C: She just said, yeah, deep water. That’s why they smell like piss. Or you can take it to the bottom of the lake. I don’t care.
Speaker D: Yeah, uh, whatever. That’s fine, too. Dead men don’t spend fucking crowns, buddy.
My cousin says he didn’t like how the books were finished
This is another scene that was pretty, uh, hardcore.
Speaker B: Straight out of the books. That’s the thing that I think my cousin is one person. It’s like he loves the books as much as me, but also he didn’t like how they were finished as much. And I loved how they were finished.
Speaker D: I thought they were amazing.
Speaker B: And so he’s kind of been definitely.
Speaker D: On the more like, I like it, but, uh, these are all the negative things that I see with it and.
Speaker B: I’m kind of on the other side of it. Like, I love it. And these are the things that I love.
Speaker D: And then the stuff that I don’t love.
Speaker B: I don’t love it so much that.
Speaker D: It takes away from how much I love the shit I love.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: So was he not going to really like the ending either way? Or could he smell the new writer?
Speaker C: Was it one of those things where he could just.
Speaker A: Every sentence was like, this isn’t fucking Robert Jordan.
Speaker D: You know, I’ll have to ask him.
Speaker B: I don’t, um. Don’t. I kind of think that he didn’t like Brandon Sanderson’s style of writing is what I thought.
Speaker D: And I thought that he really, uh.
Speaker B: Captured kind of how the first five.
Speaker D: Books were long, but kind of fast.
Speaker B: Paced and then really well done. And like I said, he got to the middle. They got to be a little bit of a. Then, you know, Brandon Sanderson really, they were like, oh, you’re going to finish this series in one book. He’s like, no, I’m going to finish it in three. And if you don’t like it, I’m not going to do it.
Speaker D: And they were like, okay, then.
Speaker E: God.
Speaker B: Creepy fucking face right there.
Speaker D: There’s another thing that’s coming. Um. They’re called Drakar.
Speaker B: They are?
Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
Speaker A: Those are mentioned, I think, at least.
Speaker D: Yeah, they’re kind of like, um.
Speaker B: A man bat type thing. Imagine kind of the face of a fade, but with more bat like features.
Speaker D: And then, um, they fly in the air.
Speaker B: So they a do reconnaissance for the.
Speaker D: Fades and stuff to see. But they kind of hypnotize you.
Speaker B: And then they basically kiss you and steal your soul.
Speaker D: And then you die.
Speaker C: Jesus Christ.
Speaker E: Yeah.
Speaker D: Uh.
Speaker C: Is that what happens when you eat too many peaches?
Speaker B: No, I think peaches, you just die.
Speaker E: Just dead.
Speaker C: Sometimes death is better.
Speaker D: I’m going to reiterate. I swear to God.
Speaker E: Uh.
Speaker D: I’m going to call fire Rafe Judkins. If no one calls him sheep herder.
Speaker E: Jokes.
Speaker B: I’m just joking, everyone.
Speaker D: I’m just joking. This guy.
Speaker B: Like he was going to get anywhere in all the heavy fucking wool.
Speaker C: Bye. Yeah.
Speaker D: Dumb ass. He wouldn’t even have made it to the boat.
Speaker A: No one’s going to take my $4 worth of wood.
Speaker B: Oh, you’re poking holes in the story with magic and monsters.
Speaker E: Whoa.
Speaker A: That’s your answer for everything.
Speaker D: How did he do it? Uh, sidear.
Speaker A: That’s your answer for everything?
Speaker E: Yeah.
Speaker B: It’s like I have such a boner for the things that they pulled straight.
Speaker D: Out of the, uh. Like they could have fucking catastrophically failed.
Speaker B: Probably on many other things.
Speaker D: And I mean, I guess some people, that is their opinion.
Speaker B: I do see a lot of fucking hate. Although most the of people who hate on Twitter are just the stupid eggs that delete their account in a day anyway.
Speaker D: It’s like most of the cats that.
Speaker B: I see on Twitter is people who have love for the source material or just love the show because they like the vibe.
Speaker D: That’s why it made me really happy when you’re like, yeah, I get it.
Speaker B: And I love it. And I’m ready to fucking. Just get in this sandbox and fuck around.
Speaker D: Good. Because that’s, uh, how I want.
When Egwene heals, she stops at Rand’s horse
Speaker B: Here’s a big one. Watch.
Speaker D: When she stops at Rand’s horse.
Speaker E: Watch.
Speaker D: I don’t even know if it happens for a fact, but I’m just guessing. I think I noticed this in the first, like two times I watched it. She stopped at Rand’s horse. That’s his.
Speaker E: Oh, uh.
Speaker A: She was making her way through all the horses.
Speaker D: Yeah, but she stopped at his. Because his horse didn’t need. In the book, he does it for.
Speaker B: Bella, which Iguin is writing, because he’s.
Speaker D: So worried about Igwin, because he’s like.
Speaker B: I don’t want Bella to fall behind.
Speaker D: She’s not a running horse. She’s like a pack pony.
Speaker A: Ran’s able to do that already.
Speaker C: In the book, he doesn’t, because I.
Speaker A: Can see why when he’s on his horse, he can give that horse power.
Speaker C: But to send power to another horse, that’s purposeful.
Speaker D: Uh, because it was his horse in.
Speaker B: The beginning, it was him and Tam’s horse. So he was just, like, petting her.
Speaker D: And stuff, and he was, like, telling her in the book, he’s like, you.
Speaker B: Got to be strong, Bella. You got to keep up, because we got to take care of know. And so I think that’s when it happens, just inadvertently, because.
Speaker D: The power is something that’s very instinctual.
Speaker B: Uh, it’s very need driven, especially in the books. It’s very need. I think. I think that’s what they’re trying to.
Speaker D: Show you at the end.
Speaker B: Uh, when Egwene heals. Naive, because Egwene’s not really known for.
Speaker D: Her healing, but it’s know when you’re.
Speaker B: Really strong in the power and you’re.
Speaker D: Meant to be, you don’t know that.
Speaker B: You shouldn’t be doing those things. So you’ve learned stuff that maybe people would not learn because they’re trying to.
Speaker D: Follow the rules of the power. I don’t know if that makes sense.
Speaker B: Right. Yeah.
Speaker A: And when you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s all feeling.
Speaker C: So you’re just thinking to yourself, I wish she had more energy.
Speaker A: And guess what? She does.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker D: And I. Sedai are like, you never.
Speaker B: Use more than earth and spirit when you’re healing, or water and spirit when you’re healing, or something like that. Um, I wasn’t trained like that. So she doesn’t know. Why wouldn’t I use all five powers?
Speaker D: Why wouldn’t I use every spice at my disposal to make this steak bomb?
Speaker C: So this is the scene that Rand is all mad about in the blight.
Speaker D: Quite important, this, for sure.
Arthur Hawkwing united the world pretty much under his banner
Speaker C: Do we know Arthur Hawkwing? Do we know him yet?
Speaker B: Um, he is someone in the books.
Speaker D: Um, it’s been about halfway between now.
Speaker B: And the breaking of the world.
Speaker D: He kind of, like, united the world pretty much under his banner.
Speaker B: But then Ishameel kind of got in his ear and started to make him distrust Isodai, and then that became like.
Speaker D: A big breakup of the know, like.
Speaker B: The powers that be.
Speaker D: And he sent his armies across the oceans.
Speaker B: And guess who just showed back up at the end of the season.
Speaker D: The descendants of his. Yeah. It’s literally called the Arthur Hawk Wings.
Speaker B: Uh, yeah, they’re called the Shanchan because the land that they found and conquered.
Speaker D: Is called Siendar Shandar.
Speaker B: So they’re called the Shanchan, and they’re coming back. Know claim what’s rightfully theirs. Archer Hawkwing’s empire.
Speaker D: But Archer Hawk’s wing empire hasn’t existed since they left. Pretty much.
Speaker C: That’s the name of my band. Desmond and the shandars.
Speaker D: Desmond and the Sean chan.
Speaker C: That’s my quartet.
Speaker B: That’s dumb. But, um, they started to distrust AES sedai really badly. Artahawkwing did. And that’s why they have the attitude that they have about channelers.
Speaker D: That’s why you see them in collars.
Speaker C: I want the source to touch me.
Speaker D: I, uh, know, dude. God, wouldn’t it be cool if you could be magical? The force or magic?
Speaker E: Either one.
Speaker D: I wouldn’t even use it for that much.
Speaker B: Just be like, man, I don’t want to get up and grab my soda.
Speaker C: Just. Obi Wan would not like that.
Speaker D: Oh, come on.
Speaker B: I’m not doing it for anything bad.
Speaker C: Just let me grab that apple.
Speaker D: Yeah.
Speaker C: What is.
Speaker D: Yeah, uh, when he’s slicing the pear or whatever.
Speaker A: Uh, the Bruce Willis Joseph Gordon levitt.
Speaker C: Time travel movie where looper. Yeah.
Speaker A: Where all the guys basically learn magic.
Speaker C: Just to get laid.
Speaker A: They’re literally magic, and they just use.
Speaker C: It to float quarters to get laid. So is this one of those magic objects? I know you were trying to explain, like, two or three magic objects to me.
Speaker B: No, definitely. They have. But this is something that, um, she.
Speaker D: Just kind of like how Egwene or.
Speaker B: How, uh, I should say how Nynaeve kind of has to get angry to break her block. They all kind of learn. They learn tricks as a girl that they don’t even realize are the power. Like, oh, I’m eavesdropping to my parents by using this shell. They don’t realize that they’re actually kind.
Speaker D: Of channeling, and the shell is kind of like their crutch.
Speaker B: Um, it’s not a power item, per se, but it kind of helps them with their focus. Um, so hers happened to be that, ah, when she was in the royal palace when she was young, because she’s.
Speaker D: From a royal line, she would wear.
Speaker B: The stone on her head, and she would use it to listen to eavesdrop on people.
Speaker D: And she didn’t realize that it was.
Speaker B: Kind of a trick of the power.
Speaker D: Until she realized that she could channel. And then she went to the white tower.
Leandrin has a trick, too, but it’s. Not necessarily at all that innocent
Speaker B: Leandrin has a trick, too, but it’s.
Speaker D: Not necessarily at all that innocent, as.
Speaker B: I was just listening to the great hunt.
Speaker D: And I don’t know if she’s trying to kill rand, but she is definitely, uh, inflicting pain on him, trying to get him to answer some questions. Pretty sure padon fein is, uh, the.
Speaker B: Dude that Leandred meets in the north.
Speaker D: Harbor, because it’s definitely not like, a.
Speaker B: Sexual or, like, uh, a boyfriend type of thing.
Speaker C: Where the fuck are they?
Speaker E: What do you mean?
Speaker A: Well, because most of them were all.
Speaker C: Sleeping in the cave, and then Egwene.
Speaker A: Came out of the cave to learn some magic, and then Rand came out.
Speaker C: Of the cave to cry like a.
Speaker A: Baby, and now Perrin’s just.
Speaker C: Where the fuck is. How spread out are they?
Speaker B: Yeah, I don’t know their camps pretty.
Speaker A: If Perrin’s outside the cave and rand is outside the cave, why are they nowhere near each other? If you’re running from trollocks chasing you.
Speaker B: You have the dark ones army looking in the woods for you. But, hey, everybody just kind of camp wherever.
Speaker D: Make your own fire.
Speaker B: Don’t worry about posting a guard or anything.
Speaker D: I’m, um, sure you guys will be fine.
Speaker C: And they won’t smell that blood on your leg, that’s for sure.
Speaker B: See, and like I said, a show.
Speaker D: Like this, nothing is accidental, and nothing.
Speaker B: Is kind of, uh, done without reason. It’s like, why the fuck did they show you that? I, uh, really hope that they don’t try to be like, oh, he got his powers because he got scratched by a wolf trolley? Because that’s not a thing.
Speaker A: Yeah, that’s weird. But this is definitely to remind us.
Speaker C: That Perrin’s got the hots for this.
Speaker A: Because I couldn’t figure out why no one saw this before, because I didn’t realize he moved out of the cave.
Speaker D: Yeah, he’s like, I came out here to be alone.
Speaker B: Oh, dude, I hate coughing up bats. Dude, it’s the worst.
Speaker E: This is so, uh.
Speaker A: Uh, gagging, wretching.
Speaker D: Want, uh, to give me a coat? Like Rand with a hood on it?
Speaker A: See, now, that’s not a bat. I guess it is. Oh, yeah, it is.
Speaker D: Okay. It’s a pretty ratty looking bat.
Speaker A: Very ratty looking.
Speaker B: And, like, this is something that happens throughout the first book. These kind of dreams of Balzaman, the.
Speaker D: Guy with the fire, Matt Perrin, and Rand are all having them.
Speaker B: Um, because Balzaman doesn’t know who the dragon is. Didn’t.
Speaker D: So he’s going to all their dreams.
Speaker E: Yeah.
Speaker B: That’s fucked up. That’s a cool little hideout. What’s up with that little door?
Speaker D: I need a spot like that to camp.
Speaker C: Yeah, this is very purposeful. That’s not a cave. That’s a dugout.
Speaker D: Oh, that’s a lot of dead bats. Oh, gross. Bats are so cute, though.
Speaker B: We had a bat come into our.
Speaker D: House one time in the middle of the night.
Speaker B: It was, unfortunately, the night that Lisa decided to watch the crow, and I.
Speaker D: Had, like, gotten stone and passed out.
Speaker B: She’s like, there’s a bat in our room. I’m like, it’s a fucking moth. Go back to sleep. You’re watching the crow. She’s like, you better wake up right now and get this fucking bat out of our. Throw, like, one of her shirts on and running around with no pants, trying to get a broom to sweep the bat out the window. Shut her in the bedroom because our house had those high ceilings. I’m like, if that bat gets out in the high ceiling, yeah, this is his house now.
Speaker A: We have to leave.
Speaker B: And he’s like, he’s so cute. Just like, I’m lost. Please don’t hurt me. And I’m like, please just leave.
Speaker D: He just took off.
Speaker B: But he was, like, the size of my fist. He was little.
Speaker D: He was so cute.
Speaker A: We had a week at shockdy where we had two birds and a bat get in a cabin in a week. We were there for two years. It never happened again.
Speaker B: Can I just tell you, my wife is like that dude in beastmaster or.
Speaker D: Something with the ferrets, except birds or flying animals.
Speaker A: Really?
Speaker B: Yeah, dude, we had this little sparrow bird. She called me at work one day.
Crows will follow you, right? Yeah. I’m not even kidding. There was a teacher at the University of Washington
Speaker D: She’s like, yo, there’s a fucking bird in our room.
Speaker B: I can’t get it out.
Speaker D: And she’s like, freaked out. And I’m like, come on, really?
Speaker E: Open a run home, huh?
Speaker B: I run home on my lunch break, and there’s this little bird, and it’s snowing outside, and it’s cold, and he won’t leave. He’s like, on the shelf, like, dude, it’s cold outside. I’ll leave in the morning, okay? Just give me a break. And my coworker is like, dude, if you want to go home and visit your wife on your lunch break, it’s fine, man. And I’m like, no, there was legit.
Speaker A: A bird in my room taking it.
Speaker C: Like, we can charge this thing rent.
Speaker B: She had this crow that would come up and try to fly to her every time that she was outside for, like, two years.
Speaker D: This baby crow. I’m not even kidding.
Speaker B: I watched it happen.
Speaker C: I’m like, yeah, crows will fucking follow you.
Speaker A: If you think crows are following you. They’re not. It’s one fucking crow. Yeah, and he’s after you.
Speaker B: No, he loved her, dude. He would always sit out there and talk to her and squawk when she was outside having tea or something.
Speaker D: I’m telling you, it’s crazy.
Speaker A: There was a teacher at the University of Washington who was studying crows, and so he would have to capture them and tag them.
Speaker C: Sometimes he would go to parts of the city miles away and trees full.
Speaker A: Of crows would yell at him, like.
Speaker C: We know who you are.
Speaker A: Get the fuck out of here.
Speaker D: When Lisa was bartending, she had this regular.
Speaker B: He’d throw peanuts out for the crows. So he’d be like, I don’t know.
Speaker D: I just want to keep him from attacking me.
Speaker B: All m the music in the show is good.
Speaker D: All of the freaking, all of the scenery is amazing. Just when you’re reading the books, you pictured that this, what they were riding through. She dumps that ring quick. Like, these cats don’t know that they’re about to see a warder in an AES sedai.
Speaker B: They probably know that when they see one, right?
Speaker C: Oh, yeah. You can smell it, dude.
Speaker B: I’m saying, yeah.
Speaker A: If that’s not a warder in an.
Speaker C: Ice, I don’t know what is.
Speaker B: I mean, it’s kind of their job.
Speaker C: Yeah, it is weird that they’re traveling in character. So are these people just the sheriffs?
Speaker A: Uh, do they just go up and.
Speaker C: Down the roads fucking with people?
Speaker B: Kind of. They have their own part of the world. They have their own kind of city state that has, like, a king or.
Speaker D: Whatever, but they’re still kind of like the ruling faction, if you like.
Speaker B: They’re kind of like the power behind the throne. God, their costumes are so perfect, and.
Speaker D: They’Re so perfectly douchebagged.
Speaker B: Fuck you and your wannabe Boba fet jangling rings, asshole.
Speaker D: See how his armor is different, too?
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
Speaker D: He’s a questioner. Uh, and they’re kind of like their own branch.
Speaker B: It’s like a rank thing, I think. I’m not sure exactly, because there’s a dude with a white one in the back.
Speaker C: I think so because King’s shit was gold.
Speaker D: What did you say?
Speaker B: King’s shits was gold?
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker D: Oh, don’t touch me.
Speaker B: I know this fucking guy.
Speaker D: He’s real fucking handsy.
Speaker C: Uh, like just some dude that rolls.
Speaker B: Up on you in the forest. He’s like, I’m going to fill your ass in your lower back a little bit. It’s like, how about you get your.
Speaker D: Fucking hands off me, dude, your shoulders.
Speaker C: Are a little tight.
Speaker B: No, we don’t do that anymore.
Speaker A: Next you’re going to tell me I’m.
Speaker C: Prettier when I smile.
Speaker D: Got to know her face. Says exactly that. I hope she doesn’t disappear for too big of it. I hope she stays around with her being possibly stilled.
Speaker B: It’s going to change her story arc a lot.
Speaker D: Um, but.
Speaker B: Not necessarily in a bad way. That’s one of the things I’m most.
Speaker D: Excited about is like, I love this.
I’m enjoying this show after watching Game of Thrones and the witcher
Speaker B: Story already, but I kind of know it. So to have some twists on it or some characters maybe live through different things that characters in the books went.
Speaker D: Through, that wasn’t their arc.
Speaker B: I’m okay with that because I think it’s cool.
Speaker D: Because if you think about stories that gets told and retold, that happens.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: And it’s easy in a book to have 1000 characters.
Speaker C: You can have two dozen in a show, tops.
Speaker B: Yeah, that’s what the dude said.
Speaker D: He was like, we’re going to be.
Speaker B: Killing people off because like I said, miraculously, a lot of people kind of tend to make it through the last battle weirdly, like the main characters, which is poor writing in a lot of.
Speaker D: Ways, but I don’t care, dude.
Speaker A: Well, and if Rand needs to know something, like, instead of introducing another character.
Speaker C: For two episodes, they’ll just have iguin tell him or know.
Speaker B: Yeah, that’s one of the things that, uh, Tangent Walking Dead used to drive me fucking nuts because you’d get really into the meat of that season’s kind of main storylines and then they’d be like, sweet.
Speaker D: We’re going to do two episodes about.
Speaker B: An important character in this episode. But at the beginning of. I love backstory stuff, don’t get me.
Speaker D: Wrong, but they waste entirely too much.
Speaker B: Time on it in some shows and.
Speaker D: It makes me nuts.
Speaker A: Well, and after a while you’re like.
Speaker C: Well, he’s going to die this season.
Speaker B: Yeah. You’re like, oh, here it comes.
Speaker D: I’ve seen it coming for four fucking episodes.
Speaker B: So in a way it sucks that there’s only eight episodes, but in a.
Speaker D: Way it’s know that will keep a lot of the unnecessarily bullshit out of it.
Speaker C: Yeah, I love this.
Speaker D: All I should die are my sisters.
Speaker A: Kelly and I just started. Well, Kelly actually watched it last year, but she needed a recap before she started season two, so her and I.
Speaker C: Started watching the witcher, and, uh.
Speaker D: Holy, the witcher is good.
Speaker C: I’m kind of glad it’s funny, this show.
Speaker A: Yeah. After banging out Game of Thrones and starting this and now watching the witcher, I’m really enjoying kind of like, I thought it was going to be too.
Speaker C: Much, but I’m kind of liking balancing.
Speaker A: These shows against each other. And after watching the witcher, this show.
Speaker C: Is easy to keep track of.
Speaker B: Like, what is this right here? What is this? Is this an old freeway or something?
Speaker D: What is that?
Speaker C: It’s got to be going. It’s got to be because they’re on.
Speaker A: Their way to the white tower. So it must be, like you said.
Speaker C: A free main thoroughfare to get to the.
Speaker B: This is one of my favorite parts.
Speaker C: Dude, what city is the white tower in again?
Speaker B: Uh, tarval. This is so good. When Matt starts singing, this makes my fucking hairs in it.
Speaker E: Uh.
Speaker B: Fucking dude, it’s so good, man. It makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck every time.
Speaker D: I really hope that they keep with the music in this because I love it.
I’m excited for the second season of Game of Thrones. I’m so excited. I can’t wait to see it
Speaker E: Oh.
Speaker C: So they live in.
Speaker E: Uh, there’s.
Speaker B: Uh, like, they live near to the mountains of mist. And the mountains of mist is like there’s the ruins of Menetheran, but nobody really goes up there because it looks.
Speaker D: Like they’re probably kind of walking through.
Speaker B: The mountains of mist right now.
Speaker D: And it’s been so long, people have forgotten the history.
Speaker C: Hence the mist.
Speaker D: Yeah, very spooky. And, um, I don’t know, have you been watching any of the origins?
Speaker A: I haven’t.
Speaker C: I know eventually I’m going to dig into it, but I’ve really enjoyed being in the dark for now because as.
Speaker A: This podcast goes on, I’m going to.
Speaker C: Know way too much.
Speaker A: And so I’m enjoying this moment of being like, I wonder what’s going to happen? Or who the fuck is this person? I’ll spoil myself soon.
Speaker D: Well, that’s the thing in school, it’s like, I mean, I know as much.
Speaker B: As obviously I’m a, um, stoner, so I forget stuff. I focus on the shit that I want to focus on.
Speaker D: But, uh, I about as well versed.
Speaker B: In this universe or world as anyone could be.
Speaker D: And I’m still super excited to see.
Speaker B: I’m actually getting more excited for the tweaks on it when they tweak it and then you get something that’s direct from the book that coincides with their.
Speaker D: Story that they’ve kind of tweaked.
Speaker B: It actually makes me more happy, almost.
Speaker A: Yeah. When you go on a little tangent and you’re like, uh, I don’t know if I. Oh, my God. They ended up where they were supposed to anyways.
Speaker D: Yeah.
Speaker B: Because I really like how rand, he’s taken off by himself. So I’m thinking that he does that in the dragon reborn. He kind of, like, loses his shit.
Speaker D: And goes off by himself.
Speaker B: And Matt and Perrin are kind of.
Speaker D: To themselves, but also they all take.
Speaker B: Off hunting the horn together, and then.
Speaker D: Ran gets separated with foil. So I’m curious to see which.
Speaker B: I can’t wait to see the second.
Speaker D: Season, because I just want to see everything.
Speaker B: Can’t.
Speaker D: I don’t know.
Speaker B: I’m so excited. It’s crazy.
Speaker D: I’m like a little kid, man.
Speaker C: I’m hopefully going to get to watch.
Speaker A: It again with Kelly, too, because she.
Speaker C: Started to read the book, and then.
Speaker A: I think she even listened to a.
Speaker C: Little bit of the podcast, and then.
Speaker A: She’S like, I think I need to.
Speaker C: Watch at least an episode or two.
Speaker A: So I can put some faces to these names.
Speaker C: And then the book might be able to flow a little bit better, because when she knows nothing and then gets.
Speaker A: Into the book, she’s like, there’s a fucking.
Speaker C: There’s too many people.
Speaker B: Yeah, that’s actually what Lisa was saying. She’s like, it’s, uh, helping me because I can kind of like, okay, Moraine’s that lady, and Rand’s this kid, and Perrin’s this kid.
Speaker D: So when I’m listening to the book.
Speaker B: I have some fucking reference for who’s who.
Speaker D: Otherwise it’s like, wait, which. Which fuck was Perrin?
Speaker B: Was he the guy? Uh, he was the dragon. No, he talks to the wolves.
Speaker E: Wait, what?
Speaker A: Iguin and Nynaeve are the same.
Speaker D: What?
Speaker B: That’s actually one of the things that I’ve gotten the most funny feedback about.
Speaker D: People are like, it’s super endearing how they’re like, you guys mispronounce shit.
Speaker B: Most of the time you’re correct. But then sometimes it’s just super bad.
Speaker D: Uh, Marine gets pissy right here. I’m going to fucking skull fuck that guy someday.
Speaker E: Dead.
Speaker B: That Eman Valdez guy.
Speaker D: Fucking dead.
Speaker C: Power or no power, killing that dude.
Speaker D: Well, there.
Speaker B: And there is a guy.
Speaker A: You have a sister that can heal you. She’s right there.
Speaker C: Oh, no, she’s not.
Speaker E: Yeah.
Speaker D: Uh, she just doesn’t know how yet.
Speaker E: God damn it.
Speaker D: She’s so close.
Speaker B: Well, apparently Egwene could probably do it too, after what she did for Nynaeve.
Speaker D: Uh, but.
Speaker C: Got some wood.
Speaker B: I know. I’m going to just pissily pick up wood real quick.
I love the kid that plays Rand. He’s perfect. And he’s an important character
Speaker D: I love the kid that plays Rand. I love him. He’s perfect. He’s gonna have the saddest eyes by the end.
Speaker C: It’s kind of fun, too.
Speaker A: Like, we were watching, uh, uh, a.
Speaker C: 20Th anniversary of Harry Potter last night.
Speaker A: And we’re going to be with these.
Speaker C: People for ten years, probably, if.
Speaker B: I sure hope so.
Speaker A: They’re already pretty much adults, but we.
Speaker C: Are going to watch them enter their 30th birthday.
Speaker B: That’s the hard part, because, like I said, dude, uh, this story takes place. It’s like, from start to finish. It’s about three, three and a half.
Speaker D: But, like, also what they go through.
Speaker B: And they even talk about it in the books. Ages them.
Speaker D: Know ran goes through fucking hell.
Speaker E: Actually.
Speaker D: Uh, so does Perrin, actually. I really want to know the fucking.
Speaker B: Significance of his little scratch on his.
Speaker A: Did he.
Speaker C: Was it a trolloc that gave it to him?
Speaker D: I believe, yeah.
Speaker C: Oh, it must be. Yeah, because it’s super infected.
Speaker B: Well, they’re going to fix the infection.
Speaker D: Right now with their wolf mouth. One of the things that’s in the first book, majorly.
Speaker B: And obviously, I can see why they.
Speaker D: Didn’T have time for it because it’s when Perrin and Egwene are by themselves.
Speaker B: After Shadar Lagoth for a while, and.
Speaker D: They come across this dude named Elias, and he’s the one that kind of.
Speaker B: Helps pair, and he’s like, hey, the.
Speaker D: Wolves are telling me about, like, the.
Speaker B: Whole time that these wolves are following them.
Speaker D: Elias is with them, too. And he’s like, yeah, you just don’t see Elias.
Speaker B: And he’s like, well, the wolves have been telling me about you, that you’re.
Speaker D: Like me and you can talk to them. So, hi, puppy. Oh, little baby.
Speaker E: So cute.
Speaker D: And he’s like.
Speaker B: So he comes up on him and he kind of lets parent know, like, don’t trip. It’s not the power.
Speaker D: It’s just something that’s ancient that’s.
Speaker B: Come again? Wolves used to hunt with men.
Speaker D: It’s kind of like how dogs got domesticated, type of. So, you know, that’s what he says.
Speaker B: To him or whatever.
Speaker D: And so he kind of learns it that way.
Speaker B: And so hopefully, when he does start to come into his power in the.
Speaker D: Second season, that Elias shows up.
Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
Speaker B: Because he’s a good character and he is around for the long haul. And he’s an important character.
Speaker D: He’s a good character, too.
Speaker C: Yeah, that’s another thing, too.
Speaker A: Just difference between tv shows and books. It’s easier to just sign someone on for the whole season than get them in for two episodes here and four episodes there.
Speaker C: Let’s just tell his whole story next season.
Have you noticed that funky beat with Perrin and the like
Speaker A: Have you noticed?
Speaker C: Does everyone have their own song?
Speaker A: Because I just realized that funky beat that was playing with Perrin and the like. Is that, like, Perrin’s song?
Speaker C: Have you noticed any of that?
Speaker B: I mean, I. Maybe I don’t, uh.
Speaker D: I haven’t watched it enough to notice.
Speaker B: If that song shows up. Like, every time he shows up. Is that what you, uh.
Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Or every time something significant happens for that character?
Speaker E: No.
Speaker B: Moraine’s tie. Tie. She doesn’t want to talk about trollocks right now.
Speaker D: I love how we’re not even talking about the episode.
Speaker B: People are gonna be like, I thought.
Speaker D: You were doing an episode commentary, you morons.
Speaker C: We’re talking about the show, at least most of the part time.
Speaker D: Yeah.
Speaker B: He’s like, trollocks are coming. Rain is like, sleepy m.
Speaker A: We got.
Speaker C: 8 hours of this.
Speaker A: We spend six of them on the show we’re doing.
Speaker C: Those are good.
Speaker E: Uh.
Speaker B: I can’t say enough about how fucking scary the trollocs are.
Speaker D: Honestly, as a book reader, what you.
Speaker B: Pictured in your head, it’s like. It’s fucking nightmare fuel, man.
Speaker D: And they’re just running at the speed of a horse, and they’re 8ft tall.
Speaker B: And, oh, yeah, they have more than just their claws and shit to kill you.
Speaker D: They have axes and just. Jesus.
Speaker C: Whoa. Whoa.
Speaker B: Perrin’s m all snuggled up with.
Speaker E: Uh, shots.
Speaker D: For all of my listeners, that’s me.
Speaker B: Shouting at my wife to give us whiskey.
Speaker D: Say hi, Lisa. She’s the best wife ever. She’s like, done.
Speaker C: One for you, two for me.
Speaker D: That’s two for me, one for you, two for me. I’ll be right back, listeners.
Speaker A: Uh, we are going into the creepy city that the trollocs won’t even go to.
Speaker C: That is a sign, people.
Speaker D: Bend over and I’ll show you.
Speaker C: If evil won’t go there, nor shall you.
Speaker E: Disgusting.
Speaker B: Everyone. You always got to go too far, Jesse.
Speaker C: There’s no birds.
Speaker D: There’s no birds.
Speaker B: My mouth is open.
Speaker A: I’m not catching any gnats in my teeth.
Speaker C: What’s wrong?
Speaker B: They did a kick ass job with this. This is directly from the books of Shadar Logoth. And, I mean, it’s a little bit different. Moraine gets.
Speaker D: Don’t.
Speaker E: I don’t know.
Speaker B: I think they do pretty much carry her in.
Speaker A: Is she just awake enough to be like, no. In the books?
Speaker C: And they’re like, too bad, we’re going in.
Speaker D: Ooh, nice.
Speaker C: Gymnasium.
Speaker D: I know. Where’s the hoops?
Speaker B: Let’s get down.
Manguin second season is going to be super rough on you
Speaker C: Seriously, I got next.
Speaker D: I like how I don’t know if.
Speaker B: You were in this situation. I know it’s suspending disbelief. It’s like, would you walk directly to.
Speaker D: The middle of the room?
Speaker B: All right, let’s get right here where everyone can maybe get a little nook or something. Find a shadow. Yeah, I don’t know.
Speaker E: I don’t know.
Speaker C: Aridol.
Speaker E: Aridol.
Speaker B: Oh, God. He makes me fucking horny as lan. I didn’t like him at first because.
Speaker D: I, uh, imagined the land from the.
Speaker B: Books being a little bit more like I said, the guy from Star wars.
Speaker D: Just mongolian almost looking. But, uh, dude, this guy is such a good actor, and he’s really killing it. I really like.
Speaker E: It.
Speaker D: What was he doing to her throat?
Speaker B: Dude?
Speaker C: Yeah, that’s television show lingo for we’re.
Speaker A: Going to fuck everything up, right?
Speaker B: This place is super dangerous. Don’t get out of my sight.
Speaker D: Let’s go explore. No.
Speaker A: I’m going to go sleep outside.
Speaker D: It’s like, scream, you’re all dead.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: You’re breaking all the fucking horror movie rules.
Speaker C: Split up.
Speaker E: Dead. I know.
Speaker D: Hey, don’t go anywhere.
Speaker B: Don’t eat any food. Hey, let’s split up and look around.
Speaker D: No, it’s like, uh, there’s a wee man over here. The only thing that grows here are peaches and sadness.
Speaker E: No.
Speaker D: Uh, this place is super poisonous.
Speaker B: And so they did a good job.
Speaker E: Just.
Speaker D: Man.
Speaker C: I’m m going to pee real quick so I can motor into the finale.
Speaker B: Jesus Christ, you have the bladder of.
Speaker D: A four year old girl. I thought I was bad.
Speaker E: Oh, uh.
Speaker B: It’s going to get so sad for you guys.
Speaker D: Manguin second season is going to be super rough on you.
Speaker E: Rand.
Speaker B: It really just never gets good for you, dude.
Speaker D: Never.
Speaker E: Guess.
Speaker B: Like they say in this life or the next.
Speaker D: Maybe the next one will be nicer to you. Winston. Winston. Uh, Perrin’s looking sad again.
Speaker B: Dude, that’s. Dude, I just saw him walk up with the dagger.
Speaker D: I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker C: So Perrin’s wife gave this to him, right?
Speaker B: Yeah, well, she’s a blacksmith, so she was the town blacksmith, so she made it, and then she gave it to.
Speaker D: Him as a gift because they’re all the same age, I guess. I wonder if they’re kind of trying to foreshadow that Matt may be gay because just the way he, uh.
Speaker B: I don’t know, because the bonds of friendship are super close in the book.
Speaker D: So I can’t tell if it’s just that friendship, love. What are you doing, psycho dog?
Speaker B: Uh, the bonds of friendship are that close or, you know, if they’re, you.
Speaker D: Know, because it’s one of the things.
Speaker B: You’ve got your friends back till the end.
Speaker D: My budy, his mouth’s closed.
Speaker C: My buddy, wherever I go, he go, my buddy, you can run for your life. I’m going to stab you in the face with it.
Speaker B: I want second season to be here so quick for so many reasons, but.
Speaker D: Literally, and this is going to sound.
Speaker B: Super lame, but one of the top reasons is so I can just move.
On from Bonnie Harris as Matt because he is so good as I was
Speaker D: On from Bonnie Harris as Matt because he is so good as I was.
Speaker B: Before I knew he was going to be recast, I was already picturing him.
Speaker D: Um, in future, when Matt starts to fight, he gets this.
Speaker B: His kind know, weapon of choice parent is the axe, obviously.
Speaker D: But Matt ends up with this quarter.
Speaker B: Staff that has like a short sword.
Speaker D: On the end of it, and it’s called an Ashandarai. And he runs it like a quarter staff dude.
Speaker B: And it’s like he’s one of the baddest dudes ever with a quarter staff.
Speaker D: And this has a blade on it.
Speaker B: And he starts wearing this hat that covers his eyes, kind of almost like.
Speaker D: A Jedi hood style.
Speaker B: And he’s just like, he’s the luckiest dude.
Speaker D: It’s one of the things, if you.
Speaker B: Compare it to a superpower rand can channel, obviously, he’s got Jedi like abilities on a scale that’s super nuts. Perrin, he speaks to the animals. He’s very strong. He can do the world of dreams.
Speaker D: As good as any channeler. Matt is just lucky.
Speaker B: He’s the lord of battles. Whatever decision he makes, whatever the decision he makes in a battle is the right one. If he’s playing dice, he can’t lose unless he’s supposed to lose. And he’ll be like, what the fuck?
Speaker D: Why did I lose?
Speaker B: And he’ll be like I was supposed to. And you see, it’ll work out in the long run. He was supposed to lose at a certain. Oh, they better not fuck up his.
Speaker D: Arc, or I’m going to be mad. I’ll forgive a lot of shit on.
Speaker B: The show, but if they mess up.
Speaker D: Matt, I’m going to be pissed.
Speaker A: I think once new Matt gets his.
Speaker C: Facial hair going, I think he’s going to look good.
Speaker B: Uh, no, I actually saw a picture of the cast, and he has facial.
Speaker D: Hair, kind of, um, more like I.
Speaker B: Pictured Matt in the show almost.
Speaker E: Uh.
Speaker D: Have you seen. What’s that fucking movie with the guy with the stupid mask?
Speaker B: Natalie Portman.
Speaker D: God damn it. The man in the, uh, v for vendetta.
Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Like the mustache that the dude has on the mask. Like the little skinny, pipey mustache. Yeah, that’s kind of what I picture Matt, but also with kind of like a rough beard around it too, but.
Speaker D: Like, mostly that little, kind of, like.
Speaker B: Thin kind of.
Speaker C: Uh, uh. Twirling. A twirling.
Speaker B: Damn it. I was talking. I wanted to watch this thing.
Speaker D: There was supposed to be a statue of this dude called Mordeth.
Speaker B: He’s the person who kind of fucked up eridol with his paranoia.
Speaker A: I think we saw him earlier.
Speaker C: Think.
Speaker A: I think Rand was on top of.
Speaker C: That statue already, and we definitely saw a shadow.
Speaker B: Well, there’s a little statue that has, like, a little dagger in its belt with a little ruby. And I don’t know if it’s popped.
Speaker D: I think it already popped up, but.
Speaker B: It’S right before Matt goes looking and finds this.
Speaker D: That’s another thing.
Speaker B: At the end of the fucking last episode, if pot and fane stabs anybody with this dagger, if you get a.
Speaker D: Paper cut from this fucking dagger, you’re fucked.
Speaker A: Slithering. Oh, I didn’t realize.
Speaker C: Oh, fuck.
Speaker D: Sorry, horsey.
Speaker A: I forgot the second he touched that dagger.
Speaker B: Oh, dude.
Speaker E: Yeah. Oh, boo. Horse.
Speaker B: M Melanie too.
I think they could have pulled off the mist easily with CGI
My cousin, uh, and a couple of other people I know that are book.
Speaker D: Readers have talked about this part.
Speaker B: Mashadar is like, kind of like a mist fog type thing in the books.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: And they’re like, they say, oh, man.
Speaker D: I thought that this was one of.
Speaker B: The things that I wish they would have went kind of like living mist with it more than this kind of.
Speaker D: Like, oil slick type of thing. I’m not mad at it.
Speaker B: It’s good. It’s sufficiently creepy. But I thought, like, the living mist that could just reach out and grab you like a fucking octopus tentacle was creepy too. And I feel like they could have.
Speaker D: Done it easily with CGI. So I thought that was something that.
Speaker B: People would complain about more.
Speaker D: But people really liked this.
Speaker B: I was kind of like, I want the.
Speaker A: This was probably.
Speaker B: This is pretty fucked up.
Speaker A: They could have pulled off the mist.
Speaker C: But this was probably much easier in episode two.
Speaker B: Well, what’s cool is that this is.
Speaker D: The exact same, uh, scene as the books, just minus the mist and go with the oil. The evil oil slick.
Speaker C: Uh, everyone’s scattering.
Speaker D: At this point in the book, Tom is with them. It’s like, uh, at this point in the book, it’s really Rand’s over the wall. Yeah.
Speaker B: Bye.
Speaker D: Matt totally ran.
Speaker B: Give me the idol. Never.
Speaker A: Indy, give me the.
Speaker D: No, no. This is fucking daunting.
Speaker B: Just jump off this wall and hope.
Speaker D: It’S not 4ft deep on the other side. Oh, Perrin broke his legs. Story’s over.
Speaker C: Oh, does it stop on the other.
Speaker A: Side of the gate? Are they like outside of the wall at that?
Speaker D: Uh.
Speaker C: Oh, no, now they’re outside the gate.
Speaker D: No.
Speaker A: Oh, not quite. Not yet.
Speaker D: Kick it.
Speaker E: Kick it.
Speaker C: Come on, Rand.
Speaker D: You kick like an actor force. It’s not attached that good.
Speaker B: So don’t kick it too hard the first couple times.
Speaker A: This is made out of crate paper.
Speaker B: Movie magic here. Movie magic. Movie magic. They didn’t really jump off that.
Speaker C: Ah, someone did.
Speaker B: It took too much, man. Too much.
Speaker E: Too much.
Speaker C: That’s a credits hit.
Watching the show again is so great. I feel like I’ve watched it closer these times
Speaker D: And back two rivers to back.
Speaker E: It. It.
Speaker B: But tell them how this log. I know, uh, that’s what I was saying. It’s so savage.
Speaker A: Dude, that is gangster.
Speaker D: I know.
Speaker B: I’m like, we’re just going to grab this fucking log later. I was like, oh, did they find a little boat?
Speaker D: No, that’s a fucking log. Good times.
Speaker A: No horse, no canoes, just a log.
Speaker D: You two get to fucking swim.
Speaker C: Oh, sorry.
Speaker A: One thing about the source, it makes you heavy like a stone.
Speaker D: Sorry.
Speaker A: Give some, take some.
Speaker B: You have to give up your ability to swim.
Speaker D: Well, that’s the thing.
Speaker B: In the age of legends, people could.
Speaker D: Basically fucking fly, more or less.
Speaker B: It was like the most powerful Jedi’s could straight fucking levitate, jump off.
Speaker D: Shit. It was wild.
Speaker B: There was no poverty.
Speaker D: There was no famine.
Speaker B: Everybody had something to do. Dude, this is actually one of my.
Speaker D: Favorite lines of the whole series. Oh, you actually tried to kill me.
Speaker A: She’s rad.
Speaker B: Yeah, she’s like, dude, I said in.
Speaker D: The books she does get a little.
Speaker B: Um, kind of almost silly over the.
Speaker D: Top, but like, dude, first of all.
Speaker B: The actress, she’s so good, she can emote so well with not saying a word. I think she’s awesome. And their casting choices have been just.
Speaker D: Spot on so far.
Speaker B: Shit, it’s over already.
Speaker A: It’s over already. This is so awesome. I hope you guys out there are enjoying it because like I said, when you’re watching these, crank up the tv, make sure you’ve got your subtitles on and watch the show in the background. We’ll have some tangents, but this has been so. I feel like I’ve watched it closer these times than I have at all. Even when we were planning our first episode, there was just so much new shit. I was watching it closely, but I just couldn’t take it all in. And now that I’ve got the baseline down, watching it again is so great.
Speaker B: Well, and it’s going to be funny too, because the more we go along, I know probably, um, a lot of the pods are me taking up at least 60 40, maybe 70 30 as far as like talking time. And as you get further indoctrinated and you read the book or you listen to eye of the world, you rewatch shit and we talk about it more, it’s like you will be like, I guarantee. It’s like you’re going to be like, more questions, more input and shit like that. Yeah.
Speaker A: And as I start to experience stuff for the first time, I can almost repoint out stuff to you. You’re like, oh, yeah, that’s right.
Episode two of Drunk History is over and I’m ready to wrap up
And it’s done, folks. Episode two is over. I thought I was going to have a bunch to talk about, but I am just ready to wrap this so we can plan our next viewing and watch all of these super close and super awesome and. Yeah, what do you have to wrap up with?
Speaker C: Do you have anything you want to say?
Speaker B: I guess maybe I’ll try to be a little more breakdowny. Honestly, I’m just enjoying watching the show with my fucking homie. So it’s kind of fun to just sit there and bullshit as shit’s going on. Crack jokes about things that you think is funny, talk about weird stuff and I don’t know, it’s super fun.
Speaker A: I think it’s great because like I said, we’re planning on doing this for.
Speaker C: Years if things go well.
Speaker B: Yeah, that’s, uh, the goal, right?
Speaker A: For us to miss a few things right now, uh, just gives us eventually we’ll have 50, 60 episodes to try to coal from. But right now, with only eight episodes.
Speaker C: We might as well just beat the shit out of them.
Speaker B: Uh, yeah, and my wife, God bless her, I’m just like, guy, sometimes I feel like my head’s going to explode because I’m just like, I want to talk about this.
Speaker D: I want to talk about this.
Speaker B: What about this? And this made me think of this.
Speaker D: And she’s like, dude, you’re going to do this for a while.
Speaker B: Don’t shoot your wad. She’s like, trust me. I start talking to her about it sometimes and she’s just like, hail Mary, mother of grace. Oh, my God. I can’t believe, uh, like, lisa’s like.
Speaker A: You know what, honey? Two things can be true. I love you, and I hate this fucking show. Those are both facts.
Speaker B: Not even that. It’s more like two things can be true.

I love you, and I asked you, what should we get for, like, what should we make for dinner? I don’t need to know why Rand did this when he was in the world of dreams talking to Ravin. Who’s Raven, by the way? I don’t know. Forsaken.
Speaker D: Where were they?
Speaker B: What’s the world of dreams? Guess what? I don’t care, because I asked you what you wanted for fucking dinner, dude.
Speaker A: You guys, I had to learn just because at some point, I had to sleep or eat or go to work, I had to learn how to be really rude to fatty when I listened to him, because if I didn’t just fucking walk away from him, I was never going to get on with my.
Speaker B: I never shut. She doesn’t even say that shit. She just smiles at me, and I’m like, I’m going too deep. She’s like, yeah, I don’t need to know how the lightsaber works. I just need to know that it’s a lightsaber.
Speaker A: Where’s the fucking on?
Speaker B: That’s totally fine.
Speaker A: Just show me where the on button.
Speaker B: No, see, there is an emitter thing, and that controls how the land.
Speaker D: No.
Speaker B: You’re so pretty.
Speaker D: Stop.
Speaker B: Don’t you want to play video games, sweetie? I’m like, yeah, I do.
Speaker A: Um, here’s your joystick. Let me get you a shot. And speaking of putting nerdy bullshit on Twitter, what we might do later, folks. We just wanted to get through these episodes. Just for proof of concept, we might twitter out our feed, our watch party feed, our Amazon watch party feed. At some point, you won’t be able to talk to us, but you’ll be able to if you want to type in questions or comments. Yeah. Or you can tweet right back or something. I think that would be a lot of fun.
Speaker B: Yeah. I will keep an eye on Twitter. If anybody’s out there that has talked to us on Twitter and stuff, if you guys want to be a part of that, that would be super dope. I would love that. That’s crazy. Yeah, I would love it. That would be so much fun just to be, like, having people type. What type? Fuck you. Slippy in the comments.
Speaker A: Fuck you, fatty. Have a great night.
Speaker B: Damn right.
