Hello who watches the watch listener loyal fan We're probably wondering where the episode is you know part three of Lords and Ladies our discussion that we were gonna do that We've always done in the past Well, I'll tell you You see host of the show George was recording his audio and then when he got about 30 minutes in a bird flew in through the window And took the rest away Never to be seen again all that remains of this episode is the first half an hour Including a discussion about how to be racist to Italians and being bitter that we weren't invited to the Discworld zoom convention If that sounds like a good time to you you can continue listening the audio that remains you can find here in this episode I can tell you that the episode that was lost involved in in-depth discussion of the romanticism of the countryside and Terry Patchett's work Many funny jokes and probably an aside or two knowing us Anyway, if you just want some lively banter for about 35 minutes However long it is then you can keep listening and I hope that's all right for you If not, then we'll be back next week with a new episode Then I'm sure you're very excited to listen to until then This has been me Chas talking to you here, and I hope you have a good rest of the day. Goodbye I'm not sure if I have anything to say about the rest of this book to be honest That's good. It's good. My brain.
It's pretty good a different way to last Oh These men bees in the trap bees bees in the trap Swarms in this house It's pretty wide and like we we did it too, but it's pretty wide how like most of 2020 like the only pop culture of 2020 was somehow what like That was kept the one thing everyone kept riffing on forever now. What about a tiger man Yeah, that's died now. I was forgotten about him. No, I'm freaking bad.
I can't oh a tiger king Yeah, yeah, that was about that was almost a year ago. I get taken less like a week References never ends asking You know everyone was referencing in 2020 this little thing called a COVID-19 Oh Nice joke. Yeah, you more subtle human give me that wet-ass pandemic There's been this house this has been done like we talked about this I think like first episode of both gonna chronicles we talked about like Dan said like some university has done a pandemic related It was like a school that was like pulling funding from black kids or something Oh cool. I say when when you say when you say what?
Yeah, you kind of sound like your my granddad talking about It's a warp is an anti-Italian slow, yeah, but it's like so old-fashioned that it's kind of No, I've never heard this before. I know there are slurs against Italians No, maybe they didn't use they didn't used to be funny accepted if I accepted as white did they? Oh, no, I know that but I didn't know that they had slurs. I was like, oh, yeah, there's some gabagools in this restaurant Typical anti-Italian racism I'm a person of carbonara take that I Am not a I'm so not Italian.
I ate my wife's pussy No, we're saying the other episode how we always know what all of us are like watching or reading I have asked my uncle who works at HBO to send me a copy of season one of of the Sopranos I do have it sitting on my hard drive here. I just haven't started Genuinely like George constantly posting about the Sopranos really doesn't make me want to watch it. It's good. It's good Also, very funny.
It's like just a really good TV show This is extremely messed up stuff There's some extremely funny stuff like well one of them well I'm just one of like the gangsters pulls up in his car blose his horn and his horn is the theme from the godfather It's just very funny and I have this one line from it My head that's just stuck with me as like the most Italian thing you could say It was just like I got a Jones for your big Zidi and I It's a great show It's so good. It's extremely good The other one to 20 21 What is a good show tiger? Can what tell you? Good show is this one can we Yeah, let's clap.
I'm making my gumbas cheeks clap. Hey Jabush. Okay, you ready? I'm wearing a put on the pasta.
I'm going to have to go same as my Italian, right? I'm feeling very baritone Baritone. Yeah, how's your cold George? It's never late.
If you hear me sniffling. I'm sorry, but you're definitely gonna hit it It's never like it's not as bad as it was I couldn't work You know I had a well-shill and I had to stop stop working It's like a not a very good time to have a cold not like in the podcast sense like in the wider world So I guess like in the sense of having a cold yet my housemate I think got it from work because his work doesn't protect any of them from airborne diseases Which is a really good school Where does he like I was gonna say where's he working like a day today? But you probably shouldn't like reveal his place of work The podcast docks your housemate docks your housemate. I think like a vague describe his job like that's not doxing In dustbin state.
Oh, yeah Wow, I can't believe archaeology would have like bad workplace Commercials might be poorly run I don't believe that every single like commercial archaeology unit is just like a complete other state and everyone refuses to like pay attention to their union rules Or whatever just doesn't be in the you're like a beer union is work. Yeah, you know my friend Perry got fired because he tried to union I just wanted to Right. Yeah, yeah, that's cool What a fun start to a podcast Hello and welcome to who watches the watch a discord reread slash watch podcast hosted by four people who have iron in their minds But also in their trousers I am Chaz and you know people are always saying hey Chaz what's the most stylish thing to wear and I say hey whatever I select oh Hi, I'm your host Robin and take me down to the long man city where the three old burial mounds are shaped like pretty Dick yeah, I'm your host Janosch opera my grad style I Didn't think I'd be there and I'm your host George. There was a funny bit about let him try Oh, I used to try to come up with something okay come from the Italian neighborhood of Lancre and I Do not perform kind of Angus because I Part of this kind of area because you've got you got like her you got bad ass and then you got little shittily yeah, okay Your one joke has become Through the through the hashtag George thing intermediary pretty much immediately and then you said it on like three podcasts since then yeah You did you did tweet ballonet code for kind of like this I think no that's not that's not that's not from the surprise That's from my my secret life.
No secret life the American team One of the guys is like I'm going to the lawn yet because his dad is Steve Shirep Like you know what they say about the lawn yeah Which is like completely meaningless but it's incredible TV show I literally just a town like a city I want thousand percent thought that was a surprise difference I haven't seen this deep fake you post that's that's Italian racism just assuming that because it's about it But just because it references Italy and oral thing Listen as you might not know this if you're not in our discord But George refuses to have a Twitter account So instead post all his thoughts into a discord channel that is specifically for him alone And then I tweet it from his like special intermediary Twitter account where I am in control So we don't take that tone It's good. I think it's one thing I don't understand is George has not posted that like every time with touch deep fake in In the George thing but it's honest with how did that happen? Yeah, I'm always twisting what George says just so it's like slightly slightly different So it's like terrible things about George's person It would really ought to be me running that account because it would really bring us back to the days where George would say a good joke Quietly and then I would yeah, I don't everyone would clap and be like well Those days long ago Yeah, I'm a social situation Robin I can't wait for Robin and George to be able to meet up against her up. He could still George's joke Then I'll truly know that the pandemic is over and that everything's written to normal One day one study anyway this week we your beloved hosts Deally cherished by everyone apart from this work convention Convention Yeah, we pretty offended that they kind of forgot about us and we would love to like just like party bomb the Zoom call that didn't happen unfortunately partly because that episode is still not out by the time we're recording this and the convention It's already happened so would have been like even if even if those people who we addressed will now hear that does they just can't do that now But so so that that that panel happened and then we didn't get none of us got mad On online about it.
I was posted about it on Twitter Truly I am not mad. I'm not even really laughing. I don't care I'm the abus of the monks are cool, but so We got not mad about it at least I didn't and You were like a whole Midwestern cornfield. Yeah, and then I got a Twitter DM from at Desert Island this world I think I did ask her to watch his watches we have but wasn't successful.
Oh I think that's so funny Okay, so I didn't know that until you said it just now because I'm about reading messages first of all right it's it's Steedly hurtful if they just didn't know we existed. Yeah, it's yeah worse. It's much worse for them to know we existed for somebody to vouch for us Yeah, and then they they still say no, I'm not gonna lie. I think it's incredible.
I love it so much There is nothing I like more than to be hated Especially as a podcast that is like my whole mission statement with this podcast is to cause people to hate us They just I do that they just really didn't want us on it's just very enjoyable to me It's a sense of like happiness and lightness that I really feel It's like yeah sure doesn't I'm just called and prepped chat have like about a thousand put followers or whatever like that more established than we are So sure make you fret also like pretty high on the following really good But I did look at like the third this world podcast Someone was never been in contact with us. I'm not gonna say their name because they're like not our friends And I would have nothing good to say about them But the third or fourth I guess the discord podcast They that was on that panel was someone who has like maybe a few more to the followers than we have but like not substantially And they have less reviews on iTunes than we have So what's going on there like after what metric did they decide who the big name discord podcast is I like if you google discord podcast we're high up on the list and they are like the in the episodes There's gonna be the first ones always gonna be the end this world and then the second is usually us like Listen listen. I'm just saying perhaps they were looking up potential people. Yes They went on to they were like oh does it either discord our kind of these great use a nice guy will put him on oh Truth will make you fret.
Yeah, that that good prat chat everyone knows them And then they came to us and like literally every single one of our posts is about like Saying something I would have a cab in our like description on Twitter Never had made a joke about masturbation Because they're cool Of this tweet on our account from the a-thick the February that says tbh Terry is sus of being friends with Neil I think I was right to tweet it one reason you retweeted by the account was the child running around with a knife This is after the child is Terry the night is being raised I think if you don't say that Terry is constantly racist on your podcast. They're doing disingenuous. That's just my opinion I'm not listen. We're not a fan podcast.
We're not a fan cast. We are a analysis Podcast where we go through the books and we talk about like the themes and what we got out of it And we criticize it because we're critics. We're not fans. Yeah, yeah All this other tweet from the 6th November Hi guys exciting announcement from here on out WWW part is officially out well with a disc golf and community We've been talking about this for a while and we're so happy to be going on this journey with you Listen, all this is pre-fingers that I'm great at tweeting and that you should follow the podcast or whatever if you listen to this But my point is I understand why they went in by us because we're not that sort of podcast like we listen Our whole thing is being a difficult be alienating see funny And I think the chokes we make are necessarily okay Once that they would want us to make on one of their publicly available forums And you know what if someone went on to our Twitter and were like ooh the convention had these people and they've tweeted this Which is very like bad and then they were canceled that would be terrible For that we're not kidding none of these tweets are actually cancer but come on I don't know why like normal people but like people do like care about I don't know I just want to suggest a different perspective on this.
Okay now let's you know to those people who were like part of this discord This is this this quote podcasting panel and they're listening to us and our friends are enjoying our show You know we're not talking about you This is all parody what I'm going to say now and I take exaggerated character Imagine how freaking boring this panel would be like Is it just like a bunch of people who are like saying yes Terry's work has inspired so much And that's why we started decided to start the podcast And the first thing we did was we went to the electronic store and bought a microphone And then well the pandemic hit us really hard because then we couldn't record episodes in person So we had to do them remotely which was a big challenge But I think a master did like how what do they even talk about like how to podcast them out? I think we've been finished because because we're all we're all UK based and we're all British Like we are like some of the other podcasts where I was like genuinely entirely UK based I feel like we could have like genuinely if you if I were to organize like a panel about like Podcasts around a topic I would like to get in podcasts who have different approaches to what they're covering right? So I would have like a fan cast and then maybe one who is more critical one one that is like more you know more a shorter Relaxed one people are talking like in slow NPR voices and the other one where people are constantly screaming right like just to show the entire Range of this quote podcast. Are we the screening one?
We do like to interrupt each other I guess This is a high energy. Yeah, we're not a slow considered podcast We're the only one so far we have covered the watch so that would have been like an interesting new angle to say like Well, I want to talk about it though. What if they were like not allowed to talk about? That's my other conspiracy that maybe that's like the main reason that we actually Because we're a watch podcast we acknowledge the existence of the watch TV show We acknowledged it and then we went that wasn't very good.
Yeah We were wrong, but so were they and we were left. Yeah, I came right eventually That's what we were right for the right reasons. We've talked about this, but we were right I mean, I think it is possible that I don't know that they looked at the Twitter and were like they talk shit about Neil game and all the time is he affiliated with the convention anyway, okay? Well, maybe they did think that we would to negative they could have told us like they could be like okay, but chill out the inside It's on the panel like I would have a great time.
I think I know people and they didn't want to take a risk I don't think they wanted to take any sort of risk and let's be honest. We're risk you guys We call ourselves the bad boys of podcasting which is how you know that we are I Just think it would like even things like well, how do you approach like the I don't know Just be like not entirely uncritical about Terry's work. You think that like a base level Thing you need to meet and you know, I mean they might have been again. We didn't actually watch that They may have been we also don't actually listen to the podcast They not so didn't invite us they were active They actively didn't want us to be there even though like the arguably biggest name this crowd podcast was vouching for us Okay, it wasn't just like one of the random smaller ones It was like the most esteemed guest of the podcasting fan anyway That's our that's our that just shows our power level.
I think I think we have to move past this and we have Literally talks to Patrick Rothwests. Yeah, I think that is very funny But I think anyone can talk to Patrick Rothwests all you need to do is like put your head in a toilet and scream Got him. I honestly if we reached out to Patrick Rothwests, we could probably get him on our show because there's no way he's gonna Know it's like he only found out like who the Mackerel is after he went on their show Oh, okay, I do think it's good though because we are the bad boys at this world Yeah, I mean I refuse to go on probably yeah, so not being I don't want to go on a pan. Yeah.
Oh absolutely I wouldn't have wanted to go. I'm just insulted. Yeah So we could have refused and then talked about that on this podcast rather than bitching for 10 minutes about how we were invited Honestly, I don't think I would have refused like if at least one other person of you would have agreed I would also have agreed I probably would have done it But just so I could I don't know if I could brag about that actually, but I mean I think you could fame It's because Robin's fame hungry, so yeah, and I mean saying like as much as I like to talk big shit I would also have like appreciated the recognition. Well, listen guys 2022 IRL convention in Scotland or wherever it is we're gonna be there.
We're gonna be there may not be official guests But we will have created special badges of our design. Yeah I'm not going to a convention The convention we host the afterparty that everybody wishes that they were invited to but then God we have an alternative convention We do tannecon People make leather No 2022 when the real discord convention happens we're gonna do a live episode of watches And there might be like no audience to attend it may just be like us recording an episode in person together with there will be a live episode so We'll be in the car park Yeah, all recording into the same mic Yeah, like a new video like vloggers do it It's gonna be like I rented a van to drive us all around but the batteries almost said so we have to have the fan running the entire time We're recording in here in the background constantly They do like a big game in the discord convention where like people are putting guilds and you have to do stuff for your guild Like you have to like assassinate people like big what I mean Yeah, it's basically yeah the convention you have like a sort of lucky thing about you have a guild And you do tasks and stuff I got to say that's look that could be fun It is 1,000% the most cringe thing in the world because this world fans are involved. That's true Like oh you like this book cringe, okay We were invited and then we had gotten like some of our listeners to be like you know We would have riding them up to to go to this to this panel and so we have like the biggest an army where everyone else like All the other people in the audience. I just like polite convention attendees who are like Podcast I would like to hear about it and then we have like our fans there.
We just want to hear more about come We like get really close to the mic and go Nigel and then throw hands up into the air and everyone cheers This is enough bringing us in The whole book end of book three which pretty good actually I think I know it's controversial Pretty good book very epic very epic Margaret absolutely sick her mode in this last third of the book and in a way that girls go a lot more violent than I was expecting Yeah, she said just we didn't character now. I am I am interesting. I did look up some reviews for this to talk about It's some point in the stuff. So I do want to point out that a lot of the low star reviews dislike the book because they want the elves to be good That's so funny.
That's the point of the point of the point I can't do like it's literally the entire point. Yeah Why did he make the elves cool and fun? Even if it were like like even if Terry was the first person ever who come up with nasty elves You can still like engage with the text in a way that like okay, so these are different than the elves. I'm I I'm used to let's let's see where he goes with this one People think they're good, but they're actually bad.
Wow. Yeah, what a clever idea Fine because I didn't say many of those because they were quite a few that were sort of similar but I have this here and to Okay, so this is a two star review magrat gets to find herself I said that's in that's in magrat gets to find herself at last and the bees are great, but I like my fair folk a little more fair Okay, and And then I thought and then this is a different review also to stars Unfortunately, I read about as much Terry Pratchett is any one person needs to still saying everyone needs to though Very good view of elves elves or then a bunch of love hearts And I'm not sure they would try and say with this one. I'm okay Everyone should read exactly four disc world novels Um, so yeah, there's another one. Um, what should I say?
I don't mean to offend anyone But it is a fact that this book disses me from reading books for two months a lot of my friends are door Terry Pratchett and maybe the most of the world's Population too, but there's nothing able to grab me so I could join Pratchett's army This is the second time that I tried to do it. So I'm not prejudiced. That's a fact to PS the elves are not bad. No way man, okay What a theme it's perfectly fine to have different books Where the same creatures are different You can have that you can have cool sexy vampires in one piece of media and evil blood sucking vampires in the other one It's fine both can coexist.
No, the elves are not bad. No, wait man. No, no, wait man Then why don't you just read crown of thorns and roses or it's a quarter of thorns and roses and they're fairies They all these are kind of fairies. Yeah, I mean that kind of elves in that book as well.
They just are they basically just hot people with pointy What if you call them say is that good? You call them the fair folk they do call them the Faye in that book and then they call each other males and females rather than men and women That's cool. And I can't stop talking about that book will be here all day. You know when I watched Madoka Magica, I got you know, I was enjoying the first few episodes But then it's really upset because that's not how magical girl anime is supposed to go It seems to be it's supposed to go.
It's cool that they get these powers and it's not supposed to turn into a horror story. What the fuck? When I read Moby Dick, I was supposed to feel epic about him hunting for this whale But instead I felt bad and felt like a felt like a big metaphor about like the futility of Of wanting to fulfill your your long grigils. What the fuck?
I just wanted a cool whale story Cool whale story Hey, do you remember when Robin thought Moby Dick was the name of the captain? What Moby Dick is a stupid name for a whale? Lales don't even have name? That's the point Uh, good time Yeah, that's the point like that's that that is just a captain projecting onto the whale like he He's so obsessed that he even gives a ten name like if you okay So on the Harambe thing like if you had a story about a guy who's one mission in life was to kill A kurumbik gorilla then I would assume that the guy who was killing the gorilla was called Harambe because he's a person like Like the whale being called Moby Dick and the book being called Moby Dick is misleading Yeah, the book should always be called after the protagonist and not like afterwards like I love this book or any weatherworks Yeah, right, lots and lots and lots of ladies are the villains.
What the fuck? But but but but they're not because there's also the lots and the ladies of the court so actually This was fine It's about laws and ladies and men and women and relationships. I think I'm right listen Give me one book where it's about where it's named after the main character and and wait, okay Direct you like is not the main character of the book. It's the villain of the book the main character's dr.
Jonathan hikeness Why isn't it called Jonathan hikeness? Well because his name is your marker. The hikeness is hikeness is something else. That's dr.
Who? Oh my god Yeah, we're talking about talking If you think about it if you think about it, um the way Though but if you think about it, not only is dracula probably the most influential character in that story, but but um jon hark is relationship to meaner Is one that you could call paracetic in that he's a dream So maybe he was a real dracula after all The name of the guy What if dracula is the name of the month? Fucking the woman in white isn't taught from the perspective of the woman. It's taught from other people like because it's misogynistic
