[SPEAKER_00]: So take a listen and thank you again for listening, enjoy.

0:24 [SPEAKER_01]: we were discussing a hell of an episode. [SPEAKER_01]: There was a lot that happened in this last episode. [SPEAKER_01]: Casey, have a question. [SPEAKER_01]: What the fuck is wrong with you? [SPEAKER_02]: Scientifically. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, medically what is wrong with you. [SPEAKER_02]: What do I begin?

0:40 [SPEAKER_01]: How much time have you got? [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, how much time have you got? [SPEAKER_02]: I've got acid reflux. [SPEAKER_01]: How long have you been sitting on [SPEAKER_01]: Undying, Lich King, Thaddeus, Jamison, being alive, and part of this, um, how long is this campaign been going on?

0:59 [SPEAKER_01]: A couple years. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my goodness. [SPEAKER_02]: One half years. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, because you were like, hey, I think I killed my husband. [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, killed my husband. [SPEAKER_02]: And, well, yeah, no, no, no.

1:14 [SPEAKER_02]: No, this is when you were pitching character ideas. [SPEAKER_02]: You were like, I think I killed my husband. [SPEAKER_02]: And in my brain, I was like, hmm, maybe you did eat. [SPEAKER_02]: But did you? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but did you? [SPEAKER_02]: What if he was evil? [SPEAKER_01]: There was a moment a very long time ago, a very long time ago where you were like, would you be mad if that he just wasn't as dead as, um, as you thought he was?

1:37 [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, no, and you were like, no, maybe that's a little too much. [SPEAKER_01]: And then you did a really good job of making me feel like that wasn't going to happen for three years. [SPEAKER_02]: wild. [SPEAKER_02]: How had to cover my tracks? [SPEAKER_01]: Well, and then I started to get suspicious when like Lysander looked a lot like him and when like a letting those research kind of came into play and there was the whole wisp thing and I was like, hmm, this is getting a little, you could do some weird shit with this.

2:09 [SPEAKER_03]: Not to mention Titus trying to put the ring onto Barabas. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, which brevus hasn't talked about, and that's stressing me the fuck out. [UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_01]: Was was was was tight as trying to put thadious and baraba's his body? [SPEAKER_01]: Undying, Litch vampire king thadious james.

2:27 [SPEAKER_02]: Whoa, that'd be cool. [SPEAKER_03]: What do you hide, but it just keeps a lot of glitch and vampire like can't just keep coexisting. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's see what else we can get in there. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get it. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get it. [SPEAKER_02]: Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get

2:46 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that must have just tried to be like a control thing, but I'm also like, why is it Braves not talking about it? [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: So you've had this up your sleeve for a really long fucking time as what you're telling me. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: I was so fun.

2:58 [SPEAKER_01]: That was so fun to find out in real time and then also just be paralyzed for and unable to actually deal with. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, the wild thing for me right now is [SPEAKER_03]: We still have, like, Rota and Stump and the City of Black Glass in our future. [SPEAKER_03]: And we're at Undying Litch King Fatty's Jamies and now.

3:21 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm thinking ahead and going, fuck! [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you got to think about okay, so he's like he's kind of given us a little bit of his angle, which is like I'm going to I'm going to make the badlands mine right. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we've also got the lore of like whoever sort of there needs to be like a new person to sort of wake up Rota.

3:43 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, so I don't know my best guess is like that guy is that guy's on to something because he was dealing with the amulets. [SPEAKER_01]: He was talking with Luther about the amulets. [SPEAKER_01]: He's like he's on kind of a conquest mission at this point. [SPEAKER_02]: He was in some secret societies, killing poops, killing poops, taking babies, Jamie Benson, I've been here.

4:05 [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, I'm not. [SPEAKER_02]: Jamie Benson, everywhere. [SPEAKER_02]: My couch hides your couchs. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh no! [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_03]: When you've got a religious figure, just fully going hog wild, psychoing a family member of yours to death, and that's okay, not the scariest thing that happened in the episode.

4:37 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay, because less we forget, like, that he is to hit pretty hard. [SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty impactful for me, but I think... [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the other kick was a lot, um, but the, the, the, okay, so just just also to bring up, um, the fact that Courtois just murdered fell.

5:02 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: I knew she was. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, not fully, not a fully assembled deck upstairs, but that's a different level. [SPEAKER_01]: Just like the image of her slidding their throat and then later stabbing their dead body, they're already dead body. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

5:26 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I was so ready to believe, until I got their wish, but I was, which we'll talk about in a minute, because I'm not ready about it yet. [SPEAKER_01]: But until that point, I was ready to believe that Phil had found a way out of this. [SPEAKER_03]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, he's, okay, Casey, what's the, what's, like, how far did you expect Phil to go with us, was this, what was this murder about, [SPEAKER_02]: The thing is, I feel like there are various levels of villains, you know, there are villains who have very simple goals and there are villains that have very big long-term goals.

6:12 [SPEAKER_02]: To quote, type Eurious, there's big picture people and little picture people. [SPEAKER_02]: for all of their pal prowess in battle, they're a little bit of a little picture person. [SPEAKER_02]: Like they just stalk and murder. [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's what they do is they just like to hurt people.

6:40 [SPEAKER_02]: And that's it. [SPEAKER_02]: Like at the end of the day, it's a very simple goal. [SPEAKER_02]: And when something like that runs up against someone like Cortois, who is paving the way, [SPEAKER_02]: Like, baby, we're going to be a part of this, some summoning the apocalypse, like for someone who is like in her own religion, bringing on the end of the world, and the end of everything as we know it, one of those has to give and of the two, I think, [SPEAKER_02]: Fale is not used to being surprised.

7:22 [SPEAKER_02]: I think Fale is usually the one getting the drop on people. [SPEAKER_02]: And so to be interrupted in the midst of their like, he-he-he, I'm gonna get this guy. [SPEAKER_02]: And then to be, I mean, I think Hayden sprung a mouse trap that nobody knew was set. [SPEAKER_02]: in court law, just sort of waiting for the first chance she gets to see a changeling and adjust knife them.

7:57 [SPEAKER_01]: Glad it wasn't you, bud. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure. [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a little bit of a glimpse as to what could have happened. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that would have been, what a way for Hayden to go if that actually was the way things went. [SPEAKER_01]: That's horrendous. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm looking forward to the series of illustrated children's books, fell the little picture person.

8:21 [SPEAKER_03]: But... [SPEAKER_01]: We can't let the kids read. [SPEAKER_01]: That's some like Martin McDonough children's. [SPEAKER_01]: See her. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's figure out the pillow. [SPEAKER_03]: So I want to know when Quartuan knew what she knew, because the way that she acted is very interesting.

8:44 [SPEAKER_03]: I start the episode, I'd eye with her. [SPEAKER_03]: And I roll that Nat 20 inside check. [SPEAKER_03]: That's like, she doesn't care if you want to die or not, which wasn't really an answer on whether or not she thinks I'm John Patrick Forsyth, and then was it the, was it me asking her to heal Tiberius that got her to understand it was me or was it the hells?

9:14 [SPEAKER_02]: The thing is, if you'll recall during the speech, [SPEAKER_02]: or twa was making certain hand gestures. [SPEAKER_02]: And then instantly made both you and fell. [SPEAKER_03]: After one. [SPEAKER_03]: That's a true sight. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, listen, detect good people, but you know, six or one.
