TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

This episode was brought to you by good episode productions. Get him while they're good. Get him other episodes. Get him while they're productions No, no, there were two reviews about him too.

I remember that because one of them was the script editor one and then the other I will say while we were recording last episode when we started talking about Patrick Roth this in my head I was like this is too much. We need to start talking about Patrick Roth this. It's relevant to the book I know it's pretty it's pretty back. It's brought the cover own old fan favorite segments You know that the segment that started called Kill a Chronicles in the first place So I know but my problem is that I don't want the audience to get too comfortable with our f Weibles You know I don't want them to be like oh, this is the thing I enjoy about the podcast.

I want them to be uncomfortable Yeah, I don't I want to the podcast and be like why are they doing this to me? I mean we did we did succeed at that later. Yeah, with our extended It was a pretty good episode. Yeah, it was a mind to panda to listen is a little bit I don't mind to have a few returning segments if it's not like you know, we're not doing it like Like Apparently like I'm gonna press the sample button that says it like sets off a siren alarm and no one can talk for like 20 seconds That's my response every time All the last age of positive went up we like had a long macaroni rant and then it took us like two months to record the next episode So of course all the all the bad Travis shit has piled up during that time So that episode has another like five minutes make a row around again I just I'm done with it, you know, I'm done with me a lot to say this man.

Let's rent free anyway. It's funny It's not even that that Travis is bothering me or the macaroni brand is bothering me It's just that there's so much cringe that they're posting and it's It's very entertaining to me how they've been podcasting for over 10 years I'm still do like still fuck up in ways that you think they should learn at this point. I mean here's the thing when I'm 32 Yes, I will still be posting cringe. So I Still be a podcaster at that time.

I don't know. I would hope so. Yeah, I think I will I don't know if you could ever truly get out of this game Let me rub it and Tom live in a house together collectively own They'll be like oh it's date night Robin and Tom are gonna hang out and have a nice romantic meal And I'll be banging on the door to the kitchen having them. You know, it's podcasting time everyone It's time to do our podcast on swivel the only TV show that still exists in Which is run by Disney and basically is a procedurally generated comedy about three people who like living in Amazon workspace And that's just what they do because that's why everyone does and it's the only relatable content that's not being made I thought I'm such a squibble But I can't wait to do that with you.

So yeah Love this image you have a party I can't wait At which point I'm gonna quit You can't quit every time you quit will pull you back in like the mafia Yeah, it's like that thing like you know any podcast you record could be the last podcast you ever good Anything anything you do could be the last time you do that thing. Yeah, that's true Right after we stopped recording this episode like we're gonna congratulate each other. What a great job with it You know, we do our classic circle drug thing as we do after every episode. Yeah The each other's floors, you know virtually I think What's the best biscuit for silky biscuit?

That's the way we do that and then suddenly the world ends like It's more profound to think about it being the last podcast episode than you know the last meal who gives a shit But podcasting yeah, but do you mean it like in a cosmic sense or do you mean it as like it could happen that? It turns out one of us was a serial killer and then the rest of us is gonna be like I want to distance myself from Serial killed just like oh my bad. I'm soft-blocking now I'm far from the serial killer person on this Either chance or yanosh it's hard to tell huh? I think I think George has the tools It's the intentionality the psychology The person is always the one who did it so yes, I'm driving We're doing my real life I think I find mass murdering a bit too icky like I'm not really Not really scared of blood like if I have to have an injection or a tattoo that's not an issue I don't mind like a little bit of blood when it comes to like guts coming out.

I have an issue So I don't know if I could be a serial killer. Can we just shoot them? Yeah, I guess I get over it pretty quickly I'd be like this is fine now. This is just my day today.

What would I say I was gonna say I was gonna you But when you say you're like uncomfortable with with serial killings like what what what would be your like preferable cry To have like one of us cancel down and the rest of us be like well now this entire product is tainted To never put friends for either of us I think I don't know because I think I think if you did some cool shit like Robert Bank other way I can diss about that I think that's epic my round Fucking Rob to bank they'll be in prison for a while, but they'll be back in the show soon Yeah, people will be tweeting like let's we have to talk about the fact that some podcasts as you've robbed a bank also Her patreons and that's wrong I Like I just think that a lot of crimes are pretty cool and most of them are not harming other people some are I don't know I think it depends on how you went about doing the serial killing I think if you were to like lull them to sleep and then you know put a nice still capillo over their face And then shoot through the pillow with like this beautiful pearl handled revolver Yes, it has some grace to it. Yeah, that's how I'd like to go. What did would it make a difference for you who the victims are yes Bosch people would you be actually original? Would you be upset if like one of us did serial killings just for the just for the pleasure of it Just for being a sicko and it can be it can be people who deserve it It doesn't matter but like you know if I went out to to like kill I don't know you know mass and just say Jeff Bezos, you know people may or may not deserve it But but said that it's I don't care about you know how they treat their workers I just I just take pleasure in killing would that be up to you?

I'm getting into some dicey territory. This just comes to like that You know that the conflict between altruism and egoism, you know where it's like do the emotions matter if the deed is good Yeah, you know Like what does it matter what their motivation is if like the ultimate outcome is that it's positive. Yes, also a good question No, I who are we to say anyway? I think I do just about serial killing I'm just imagining a guy who does serial killing just so he can be all my favorite murder Like just wants them to notice him so he does serial killing.

Yeah, is it is it ableist to say that it's bad to be pathologically driven to kill I don't think it's a list to say that a mental illness is bad, you know No, because the whole point of having a mental illness is that it's an illness I think you most people would prefer not to have them like if someone was like I think OCD is bad I would be like yes. Yes, it is if someone's like I'm so organized. It's like I have OCD. I'm a little bit like okay That's not what that is, but that's fine.

Well, I'm depressed I deserve I deserve to always be really sad. It's good We talked about this a million times right about Mental illness is your superpower. You don't take the medication. That's what makes this question 99,999 time Yeah, it was that entire that entire gender episode of the show of the watch TV show gender gender I mean here's the thing like when I forget to take my medication for like three days in a row I do go completely fucking manic, but I don't think it's in a very good way I Could love it Well Laser eyes Where is the like subversive superhero comic about that?

Yeah, we're getting laser eyes and I PS It's not the second But sure you can walk through walls that you have crones. Yeah, yeah, I'd rather just not walk through walls and not You're you're extremely powerful shit. Can actually boil a hole in the wall so you can levitate but only with the power of your IBS shit like a jet pack like one of those things that they go in the water like squirts the water out for your Like like a door in Artemis file. Yes.

Yes. Oh god. Yeah Do they have that in the film? Yes, yes It was deranged I believe that Prince Philip died a mere three months after we told him to die on our first Energy we manifested this as then whatever was in his heart I know he was 99 years old but I can only come to the conclusion that it was I see did it Yeah, it was also did it and not only ours, but Megan Markle and Jeremy Corbyn those two really just killed him I think Jeremy Corbyn Michael such a classic duo.

Yeah, just an evil and evil duo who is the villain who is the sidekick That's like I think they should take down together more people like and we can see in your next parody Then maybe like Megan Michael and Jeremy Corbyn can team up for you know, you know mask What Jeremy Corbyn did is he messaged Prince Philip on Instagram was like yo, you are bad little thoughty Why didn't you make a clip on the TL and that's how Prince Philip died? He tried to yeah, and frankly it was it was really bad men of Jeremy Corbyn to do that and that's not the leadership one Me as a British person I can say that yeah, yeah, yeah British British Rights, I don't know Yeah, how's it been since you became British? I was that experience like bin? It's weird because the weather like immediately became worse in Germany like everywhere Nobody knows why I rain clouds specifically above your head that follows you around yeah, yeah, yeah my my upper lip has different Psychon craz yeah, it's it true that to transition to being British you have to like rub tea on your skin You know I had it done there, but I have to start sweating tea so Yeah, just having a step up a little bit just about having rigor mortars very slowly and it's very localized Do you have any rickin mortars?

Yeah, I reckon what funny should I have seen Turn themselves into a brick British Rick! Okay, what British Rick? Oh British Rick or morty you should have seen it say one sort of fucking thing. Okay, let's go Why you become British Rick and then tell everyone are you a friend and mate?

You have an laugh Okay, I'm bringing us in another disc world which once again features one of the more familiar characters of the disc world Samuel Vines Sound Vines I mean most sadly doesn't save the world what he does do is give the world time to save itself which is very much more the Discworld way of doing things Sound Vines is not good to do it It's absolutely right to stand by Probably more than four and then one Discworld way of doing things Or not Find yourself in the same circumstances I'm not really a plasticist, I'm not a black woman now Discworld way of doing things Hello and welcome to you where's the work to eat this world really in slash-watch podcast Ostered by four Mentists and members who are kicked out for being too smart and also too funny I'm your host Chaz and not only am I here I am really here I am not just a projection on the cave wall But I am physically in the room with you right now at this moment Hello, hi, I'm your host Robin And I recently found this one cool trick to make five pounds off the death of an old man So try to my TikTok to find out how Hi, I'm your host Janash and I'm gonna go make up some new fantasy slurs. I think we need more of them Very cool Hi, I'm George. I'm your host and I found a ring in the river today, but it's not very nice Oh, no, it's still away. Yeah, that's it's done.

It's started to corrupt you already I mean if it does it's it's turning into like a mid-norties character of a working-class person It has that kind of aesthetic Is it like really heavy to carry? No, it's incredibly light because it's made out of titanium or something cheap What if you found a ring in the river and it was like trying to corrupt you, but you put it on and it just didn't fit so you threw away So this is a sea and I'm a d so yeah, yeah One of the rings of Frodo's finger has been too thick This ring doesn't fit my decobs What are you? You're putting the one ring on but so that no one sees it you where does a cock ring? Oh The one cock ring that sounds like a bad parody book from like 2009 Yeah, it has been written 20 years ago.

Yeah. Um hello. Yes. This week.

We are reading the second half of men arms men's arms Yeah, we're not gonna talk about Messivating with a carpet more than three or four times. No, the thing is one master of vision is over Yeah, till you bought that I forgot that we ever talked about Until today I completely wiped it from my brain as I imagine I'll listen also did if they know what's good for them No, they've been obsessed with it since then they've been I'm getting emails from from all around the world saying I have tried to fuck my carpet I've given up on regular masturbation now entirely I made her girlfriend out of felt it's like Why are you talking about in the podcast like this? Sorry The die with myth but it's just made of felt instead. Yeah, I would say since then it has been it has been canceled That someone posted a really long with a thread where they were like listen up motherfuckers battle up because back Here's the truth about the hot new trend Chocolate buck fucking knackers.

Yeah This week as I mentioned we read the second half of men and arms second half second third Which I will summarize for you now in a concise way where I remember literally everything that happened in the book And I wouldn't say I'm at all yes Shit So sometimes I notice while I'm editing that I use the word so instead of um, but I just do it I'm not sure too many times. It's fine I think there's like two types of podcasters and one of them says um a lot and the other is like me that you just like We only start a wife like have a starter that you don't have in real life just in podcasting Yes, sometimes you like do some vowel noises for a bit and then you sort of the words arrive. Yeah, sometimes Yeah, I'm even stutters into my mother. I'm talking Like a chainsaw starting up and getting into me Okay, George, but you did on a previous episode say that you are um, Erolically interested in being interrupted by Hungarian so you know, it's you know, I was just trying to hide my uh deep upset Interrupted by Hungarian.

I don't think that's true. Okay, so um when we left off last time They decided to investigate the crime so they split into a number of different teams Cardi and detritus investigate the alchemist's guild to try and find out what the piece of paper They found means so they meet our good friends. So the fish who's still the alchemist's guild good to see him And that they're sort of doing exploding billiards Do you know about this? No, they used to use uh nitrous alleons also in his gun cotton to make billiards balls And other other things and they were occasionally explode.

That's fine. It's also a more advanced explosive than gunpowder or like black powder number one powder So they're they're they're inventing something worse still not as dangerous as conkers. Yeah It's political correctness gone mad Baddie conkers in the in the watch movie where they're like, oh this place is sick. You even have a billiot table anyway It's exactly like that.

Um, so cutting into try to stay get some information They realize that the paper is um, it's written backwards and it talks about a thing called a gun and it has a recipe for was basically gunpowder Which the archimists inform them like pretty much everyone can find out already knows. Um, meanwhile Come on and I'll be investigating the fool's guild, which is a very humorous adventure Well, we meet some lovely clowns who are good and we like them Clown time the knock is like humorous breasts which terry informs us isn't funny even though he mentions boobs all the time So okay, it's funny But in this case, it's not funny. It makes sense. It's gonna say truck nuts.

That's funny. Come on It's all pretty cool. We are the podcast equivalent of truck nuts. Many people I don't I can't comment on whether or not that's true.

Um, they investigate and there's like a funeral going on for, you know, the clown But it's a very humorous funeral, you know, they like hit each other with ladders and fall over and it's a very solemn occasion Um, Colin and I'll be here to be there. They talk to another clown who informs him that they should look for being knows real knows Whatever that means so You know what they say real knows real lies real. Yeah, I was I was thinking about how to make that into a job I'm glad you didn't manage to hide them Look yeah, I was thinking you you haven't realized this if you don't have a good check. Just say a bad one.

It's good They're always good at each other E-co-op-it-in-a-d-d-e jokes. Silence is always bad. Yeah, no silence. No downtime.

No, that's the bad thing about science is that it's incredibly hard to cut it out Yeah, it's much easier to have a disconnected joke that doesn't go anywhere. It's just to have like a second of silence Personally, and so we've also found out that the basically the full skill suspects that you know was assassinated or killed by an assassin At least and they're uncomfortable with it and they don't want to like think about it because you know, it could cause political problems And it also sort of backs on to the assassin's guild. We meet dr. Whiteface who's the head of the full skilled and very scary I personally am extremely offended that they would include a character in this book called whiteface as if that's something to joke about Truly tell me the white face.

Yeah If it wasn't bad enough that these days you were arrested for saying you're English Now now that they're dressing up and painting their faces like white people. That's so wrong. Oh, I'm the queen of England Um, yeah, meanwhile angle wakes up at the boarding house. Mrs.

Cake is there and she's like a young man's come to call on you and it's carrot and he takes her out for a tour of the city Vimes wakes up and when he wakes up something hits the sort of His in the mirror something hits the wall near where he is he doesn't understand what it is But it's a projectile that's being fired at him at very fast speeds So he sort of instantly understands that he's being attacked and you know He falls to the ground and he's doing the old helmet trick But in a cunning way where they shoot where someone who's doing the helmet trick would normally be and then he rushes out to investigate And he asks gargoyle and the gargoyle is like yes It was a guy with like a stick and by myself This is too far for crossbow the gargoyle croquoise with him because he knows carrot and the gargoyle likes carrot because everyone likes carrot Oh, meanwhile carrots take your anger on a city tour. She loves it. It's so cool Like that's where this guy loves like more folks so much I'm jealous of a city. Yeah, she's like I can't we have jealous of the city this guy wants to fuck the city so bad I think we are sure that if you do put your dick in the anc then it won't be there when you pull out Yeah, it will be very different Yeah We do get more bloody stupid Johnson content though, which I enjoy a lot Yeah, we see some of his creations like an arch and like one of the world that can be fit in like a pocket They're very very tiny.

He was bad with numbers Then I go to see a place where the beggars are and it turns out the beggars are like oh you got us can't believe you realized And carrot doesn't get what they're talking about but angry can tell he's a body there So they go into the beggars guild and queen molly who's the head of the beggars guild her maid has been killed With what looks like a projectile fired at high volumes interestingly weird. Yeah, so they investigate that meanwhile cutie into trytists You know, they're just hanging around there and you know investigating cutties like I don't like you but if I'm gonna hang around you should learn to count So they invent binary Then we cut to hargus house of ribs where vibes is having a bad breakfast We know about hargus house of ribs from moving pitches. There's a lot of moving pictures references in this really all like Continuations which is interesting. Well, is that how binary works?

I still don't understand how it works Yeah binary it's so So the last digit is like once and then the second class digit is twos and then it's fours and it's eight And so if there's a one then that means you add the digit So if there's a one in the four column you add a four and then if there's like a one in the one column Then it would be five because it's a four in a one I think that's probably a good explanation, but it has gone straight through my head It's if you have it on paper, it's quite simple. Yeah, if you if you do it on your fingers you do understand it Yeah, basically works through like twos and ones and thirds Um, yeah, but it's like it's pretty funny how they're like oh if you can count it too. You can count to anything Yeah, it's because he's made of silica because he's a computer. Oh, I didn't get bad.

That's very good Yeah Most of his stuff seems to be like computing jokes But if I'm just at Huggis House of Ribs and he gets a bad breakfast and he makes multiple twin peaks jokes Um, when I say that's a damn fine cup of coffee No, he says it's a bloody awful cup of coffee Which I was like is this a two-piece reference and then his next sign is I want to come up coffee black as a Moonless night That's what that bit's about. Yeah Yeah, it's just just some fun some fun two-piece references What can I say Terry's a man of culture? I've watched twin peaks with you and asked every five minutes of every time a copy of his If that's the damn fine cup of coffee I mean, I made my parents watch Mulholland Drive yesterday and I think they're still recovering I think so they were very uncomfortable with the amount of like lesbian boobs that are on screen Yeah, very different from from normal boobs Well, you know, it's quite too tight to be too much kissing. I'm like is it though?

I think you're a bull regular bull Love is love Coming out to your parents by making the watch Mulholland Drive It's classic It's a challenging movie to make your parents watch because it's also really fucking long Yeah, it's two and a half hours long, but those two and a half hours flew by to me This is one of my favorite movies. I would just feel intensely uncomfortable if my parents would why would be watching would be with me I think they liked it I think they're figuring it out. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, so Vimes has some brain waves and he's like Gone interesting.

I think it's a weapon a new kind of weapon something like that Me mark I didn't try to see a guy running away and they follow him and they accidentally fall into the pork futures story And which is very cold and it's where they saw the potential pork that may or may not exist in the future Excellently trapped in there by by the figure they've been chasing. Yeah, he's a very But yes, he does potential pork is like a very daggle and douglas edams concept. I think it is yeah It's sort of similar to like the re-annual grapes that we've heard a bit of economic jokes Yeah, using some potential pork with a what was the grapes source? I don't know.

I'm pre-annuals. Yeah, pre-annuals. That's it pre-annuals. Um The future is warehouse where very slowly it's a constant materializing in the warehouse Yeah, so they get shot at but they the bullets mostly Ricochet off to try to see his breastplate or his body because he's made of stones So it's more or less fine But they're in the cold and it's getting colder and this is probably gonna kill them But to try to see his computer and he's made a silicon his brain starts working better The colder it gets and he suddenly becomes really clever and he starts doing like a lot of calculations Did you see it when like um Belledell fiend did the like game of water?

There was a guy who bought the game of water and then used it as like, you know how people can get like water cooling systems for their gamer PCs The bath water. I didn't know that that's really good. That's what the choices needs Game of girl bath water. Yeah, what I calling would be pretty good He gets a fan later on in the books, but like I think you know, I sort of would calling would be more efficient So he checks he checks cuddy out the window like a projectile.

Um, but he's fine. Yeah, he created that decrease. So yeah He did the maths betanari orders vimes to come see him Uh, and he informs him that he has been disobeying orders by investigating this crime the theft You know the theft of the assassin's guild which you you definitely knew was a theft at the assassin's guild Please stop investigating it takes it basically. He says tell him that the night watch is gonna be disbanded He has to give him his sword and his badge Um and retire forever vimes give him the sword reluctantly, but will not let go of his badge And then leaves and he basically has a bit of a breakdown the practice is still cooling down He is very smart.

He is figuring out all the universe calculations and he is writing them on the wall Meanwhile cuddy runs off and gets the keys from the guy who runs the port features warehouse Comes back and basically lets him out, but he's pretty unwell And veterinarian goes to see leonard of quern the guy who invented the gun who he is keeping in a special room in his palace Like behind like some secret corridors, but that's fine with it Yeah, he's fine Yeah, he doesn't mind as long as he's got like pen and paper and is allowed to do what he wants, which is a nice reason Yeah, um, they discussed that the gun is gone And that's stolen and is being used and then they both talk about how neither of them decided to destroy it even though they probably should have Um, and then there is like, yeah, I didn't destroy either I just gave it to the assassin's guild thinking they would get rid of it, but I don't know why because I Sorry, I gave the death machine to the death people. Yeah, I could never have seen this Like Yeah, yeah, they're making killings Yeah, you know those like characters and came from strong so I like they have to whisper so I'm sorry when they're sorry Oh I mean I think it's for cry typing assassins So we it's just a con twas I just talked about I mean like in this if they assassins would just have listened to my method of again covering someone's face or the same Hello, and then gently shooting them in the face then a gun could be a gun can actually be something that's really personal Okay, that is honestly like I feel like the core I guess we can discuss this later, but I don't fully understand in this book why the gun is so much worse than the crossbow Yeah, I think it's about intention. So Terry sees the gun as a sort of a device that is very easy to kill with Yeah, where's the crossbow? You have to sort of it's very difficult to you know, you have to string it You have to pull it back five minutes of what are they?

Yeah I mean you can argue that there is no real difference But in this the gun is presented the gun presented is almost having a consciousness of its own where it desires to kill Yeah, it's essentially like a parasite that yeah, so kind of gets the keys He's let them the charges out the charges is in a bad way So he tries to take him to a doctor in like the troll district Which is like in the slaughterhouse area It's kind of scary because obviously they don't like to walk there because of the dwarf troll tensions When they get there, it's announced that the day watch a guy called Was his name getting with q quirk quirk has arrested this troll who was so vaguely seen in the same area as a murder So they've arrested this troll who was seen at the area Around the time of one of the murders he I mean he obviously didn't do it But you know, it's convenient for them to find a murderer But what it's done is it's increased the the racial tension between the dwarves and the trolls in the city So while while they're in this So other of this troll district, um, they get like attacked by some trolls They tried to run away and then some dwarves come and they end up in like a short skirmish down like a sort of narrow alleyway Uh, they tried to some cody escape, um, but they fall down into like an underground sewer tunnel, which is sort of wondering Yeah, quick as being problematic. Um They he did sit a watch moment Yeah He sort of he sort of appears and is like we're gonna get rid of um everything We sort of all out the day watches in charge now the night which is being disbanded It says some there are some he's a bad person. We were informed he is racist Meanwhile vines is like very drunk. He's basically drunk himself into a stupor So kara and angler go to find him He's clutching something really hard in his hand, which tends to be his badge Ang was like, why do you respect this guy this guy stupid?

He's drunk. He's the worst Um, he never has any money. Why does he live in the shitty apartment? Um, and he has like nothing on the wall He's got like a male living space Um Um, and then you check out his buffal right car.

It's sick You know, he's got a bed and nothing in it and kara's like well, he doesn't spend a lot of time here Uh, they go through it and go decides to go through a shit kara's like you shouldn't go through a ship She's like yeah, but i'm gonna um It finds like a bunch of names with like money and she's always spent all his money on women Um and kara's like no, he didn't and then kola and i'll be appears and they talk about it And it's uh he informs angler that in fact These are actually the widows of dead watchmen and mine spends most of his money that he gets Um Basically paying out to orphans and widows of the watch to make sure that they're like looked after because there's no sort of pension scheme or anything They try and make him there while they try and make him sober and they make him there accidentally with too much clatching coffee Just like that classic scene from the watch tv series. Uh-huh I don't know that we love that shit Yeah, um, yeah, we wakes up. He's like uh, they're being disbanded This was less fun than it was like in the tv show when they did this it was like, haha quirky funny Just reading the vangers and this one This was more like it sucks to be it sucks to be this drunk, but also if you become too sober, that's not good either Vimes is always always his normal state is like too below regular sobriety. He has to he has to drink to be sober Yeah, yeah, they have to gain some alcohol to like make him normal again because they give him too much coffee Um, he got a coffee Got a coffee coffee Meanwhile, caddy intertractors find like a spooky tunnel with a spooky cool under the city There's like sewers, which they don't currently have you know, these are old sewers.

There's no sewers currently Some some great cloaker jokes though. Yeah, be a cloaker Classic, uh, they also find a body of a clown, which they thought they'd already found so what does that mean? And the clown is actually a Dutch guy, um, and we know this because he's called coal face. Oh, I see Uh, it's so funny.

Yeah, so After quakes like dissolve the watch, um, Vimes goes to his fiancee, um, and has a bath And he's like, I will not think about anything. I will have a bath instead Um, and he's uncomfortable because willikins is there and he's like I am here to look after you and finds his like, okay Please don't scrub my back for me go help the old geezer who he's the water You know, please tell me your first name and he says like It's just like Yeah, I don't have a first name Uh, karaq goes down and investigates this old tunnel and he's very excited about it because he loves history and cloakers Then they hear about that. There's a um, there's basically a riot that's going on with the dwarves and neutrals That's spread out from like the slough house district and the day watch Trunko with it they're throwing rocks at policemen, which is very rude and character classing if there's been a An unprecedented breakdown of law and order when you're a tree for breakdown of law and order because and everyone's like well, I guess he's like no It's very important. Um, um, Wow Yeah, so they're like, okay, we're gonna go do something You know what we can do according to the the laws of uh, ang mopork like carat obviously knows by heart If there's an irretrofo breakdown of law and order you can create a militia So they're like we're gonna create a militia and we're gonna go steal out everything So they go to the ang mopork armory Whether they basically trick the guy there into giving them weapons by pretending to be inspecting the uh, you know The accounts getting in and then stealing the weapons and threatening him with the weapons The guy who works there is very racist towards the trolls that work for him.

Um, so detritus swears them into the watch And they will arm themselves and head off to save ang mopork or I guess put down a riot. It's fine Uh, they got big guns Right. They're the language of people who just love writing. That's what they're the language of the people who love to do stuff in every then Uh, well actually in this to be honest terry's uh He at least says at least they have a reason to riot.

They're not just like I mean They have writing because of an actual injustice that has happened. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and that's basically where we are in the book currently Exciting Shakes out About knobby and how he used to go and steal stuff from dead body Extremely epic side hustle They just sold all of their weapons Yeah Everywhere from their own east which is interesting because nobody doesn't have any money as far as we can Well, he spends all of them are in classes.

Yeah. Oh, yes. Ant is um, what do they call it? The the the the piss-taker the seal not The reenactors.

Yeah, I forget my call in the Seamster says oh, yes his friends. Nobody has a lot of hobbies. A nice good item He's he's very funny. I love not being as a character Obviously, but also kind of wholesome.

I don't know It's just a nice guy who loves to steal money from dead bodies and then kill them or like almost dead bodies I guess come down to people on tik tok calling knobby a goblin call icon. Oh, he kind of Yeah, the count of zero Is here i'm on tik tok i'm calling knobby a goblin call. I wonder if there's any like this quote tik duck scene Cause well, it's our duty to become it I guess like i'm sure the fucking Because the good on my tv show was so like pandering towards the time blow audience. So i'm sure that is also good on tik tok Like I wonder if they have arrived um at all level Yeah, welcome welcome to the level I'll go to the level you want our level don't be Yeah, I want to want to be some good like this go at tik tok content I think like a lot of cosplay stuff where you be like lip syncing to some sort of fucked up Spooky tune where people like dresses the fucking once or whatever, but your dress is like I don't know carse That's like the subject or I've just opened up tik tok okay And the the first things that come up when you search terry practice somebody explaining the order in which to read them And then I think it's somebody Just reading out a quote from the book about the gills of acme more pork In front of a big book shell and some candles Oh, yeah, one of this has revealed to me the existence of something called book talk apparently Oh, yeah Is it people trying look at my look a picture of all my books stacked up presently?

Yeah, that's just literally tik tok i'm talking to a guy who's been through this Yeah, it's our thing where it was called film talk and there's like six different things of people being like underrated films And it's like shutter island and the grandpa just very fun I keep thinking about that classic tweet. It was like at this point like five six years ago It was just like my taste in film is very Sophisticate and nobody likes these films and then it's like the dark nights that god for other seven Yeah, I found somebody going through samuel vibes as an Tumblr aesthetic post and then they show a bunch of pictures which are some vibes as a tumblr aesthetic So i'm gonna tell you what is in the photos Some some some plate armor. Oh, yes, a puddle on a dark street. Oh, that's vine score Some I think lavender like like like okay.

Okay. It looks like an english street another english street statue of A statue of justice. So it's like a saxx lady with a scales and the sword. She's not that yeah Yeah, and then it's a crossbow.

Yes, that's him and then it's a photo of a bunch of signs that say either rich over and over again I'm sure he does every night with sittle, but Uh, and then there's um, there's a various tumblr aesthetic photo of some edgy boy lighting up a cigarette Think tinnothy shalne in lady bird. Okay. He's my cigar. It's not cigarette Far too.

He's far too scrosy to be like an edgy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're gonna hate this The next one is the back of somebody sent him jacket with the words.

I'm just a teenage dirt bag, baby My dad is dead bag a you. I love that Probably is probably is just like things he uses or where Yeah My favorite is just the pictures of streets. That's that's incredibly funny. They were like five But at the end of the day like if you're doing if you're doing like an aesthetic and it's just like you might as well just post a picture of the person You know, yeah, this is what they were I mean the point of these books is obviously the aesthetic and the vibes right?

Yeah, they're extremely aesthetic It's about how it's about how being like a poor person or like being a Being like it's cool. I guess being in the gutters is a good vibe. It's a good aesthetic Yeah, it's about the coolness of being you know in semi-poverty Yes About this is a dirty old town and going fuck yeah, I love my town being dirty. Oh, yeah It looks like stennison this one I thought I have just seen a great tick tock of an orangutan hand puppet playing with the keyboard Fuck yeah, finally I think the boot the old boot on there's pretty pretty vibes in here.

I found a civil aesthetic Um like boss girls, but with dragons. Yeah I know this is an auditory format, but those you know some bitches of dragons and like a wig and some other nice Country stuff great great audio concept. I know Remember that part in like comics when Batman is having a breakdown and is depressed and is sitting in his bathtub and meanwhile Superman has to is like Has to motivate everyone No, I can't get over the petropper I remember that No, I still don't know. Sorry.

I wasn't I wasn't yes, and in you correctly It was a call back to last episode porch where I remember that Yeah, I know When we discussed the fact that Patrick rosford said that vines and carat elects Batman and Superman Yeah, I feel like vines wasn't wasn't that much. I guess I guess he had a big thing where he was like with batonari But yeah, it's like he came to the back seat for this for the section of the book, which is fine. I don't mind We're going through it right now He did do some sort of brain detective work where he kind of figured out more or less what the gun is Yeah, um after receiving the reports. I loved the getting the reports from kolan Funny that colons like a very sort of matter of fact like humorous narrative and cutties is like put out like a dwarf epic With like and our hearts were full of spirit and Boots full of adventure as we did fairly depart.

Yeah, it's just it's great Can't you only learn some on the I'm traveling parts of this great city I would say does caddy and the trice is great in this part of the book Yeah, absolutely fucking dudes rock energy from yeah Good shit. Yeah, it's a dude on a rock I love how I love how caddy gets really excited when he like teaches him how to count And to try to be able to like instantly count how many bricks are in a wall and stuff that sort of yeah We see is it that's really good. It's nice. It turns out to try to actually pretty clever.

Just it's too hot It's just a different way of thinking. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, you can count just in a different way. I really like their scenes I like kolan and I'll be investigating because you know they don't really do that much investigating normally But it's not just like yeah police work.

Yeah, it's good to be kolan like he's like oh, I'm getting educated. I'm reading things Yeah, everyone else ever read things. He's like everyone else everyone else is too clever And they're making me feel bad so I've been reading to make myself feel more clever and now I've done some of the words That was the best one of the good things about his report is like you could see he was putting in like fancy fancy language that as he thought it Yeah, yeah Or when he uses a word with a with an accent in any he says he hopes people have noticed him saying the slantie bit Yeah, he's talking and he's like he's saying like angweb obviously is smart and he suspects that she's clever And also kadi's clever and he just feels yeah Stupid person like carrots also reading carrots reading all the time and he reads very slowly and he has to like move his lips All he's reading but he's reading a lot. Yeah, which I can relate to I'm not a fast reader Yeah, I like I like those bits of characterization where it's like well, he's not uh, you know He's not maybe the most like naturally clever person or like he's not like a genius or whatever But he's very persistent and he will read everything and he will like do what he set his mind to like I love those moments He's so good in this because yeah, you really do get a feel for him as this guy other character and he really he really loves the city And he really enjoys knowing people and talking to people And getting to know them like even the fucking gargoyles he goes up and he talks to them every now and again And then he talks to you know all the dwarves and they all know him he like takes an interest in a very in a very like Deliberate way which I think is so good And then at the same time he like even vines is like almost uncomfortable with it because everyone loves him so much And it's like Vimes is like I've been walking here all my life and he's been here for like a year and he knows everyone and I don't know anyone And everyone always recognizes him but at the same time car has such a respect for vines as this guy who's really Often is kind of trying to make things better And I think that's it's just a very it's a very interesting and touching relationship.

I think in this yeah, this is a great part where they like find that That bill is paying to to the widows of former city watchman Then like the daughter of one of them like who passed away It's like yeah, he he pays that out of his own pocket. Yeah, the calf is celery goes to uh goes to people he Wronged by those lost on the job. Oh, it's noise guy. Yeah.

Yeah, he's like he doesn't show it You know, he's not like nice to you in person, but he's deep down here's you know, he's a good guy There's the bit where veterinary realizes that maybe he's gone too far in trying to like go vibes Because he's talking about springs or the Leonard of querm and he they're talking about how like you wind the spring up Until it's as tight as it can be and then I hope it doesn't break and he realizes that vibes didn't punch the wall after leaving his office Which might mean that he's like pushed him too far and he's broken him Because it's like he was already investigating the entire thing is that veterinarian is Big stretch big brain plan is that I'm gonna I'm gonna make vibes do the best job He can buy really pissing him off and making him do it. That's right. Yeah, but like vibes already wanted to investigate this It was already doing it. Look at this talk into it.

Yeah, okay. Go ahead. She would have done it The first time like he was doing it. He was being like his life was being threatened.

He was gonna keep investigating Uh, yeah, I think it's a little bit contrived I think here because like terry really wants to have this bit where the watch has been disbanded Um, and they have to like, you know, go a bit rogue create a militia and sort of you know Go off the map in order to to fight back, but like I'm not 100 sure that this makes sense of To do I don't know Even veterinary sort of says oh, maybe I went a bit far. Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, it's a bit normally veterinary sort of perfect Yeah, yeah, but uh, maybe it's just it's a pretty serious But like he veterinary doesn't really know what's going on for once and so he is making mistakes Yeah, who know I do not my brain small today But this even finds realizes that anery Um, tells him specifically not to go looking for the thing stolen from the assassin's guild which finds was a hundred percent sure Like that something had been stolen from the assassin's guild before veterinary specifically told him to not look for it And she's like part of the way he's sort of manipulating him But this is like a very extreme move to be like I'm disbanding the entirety of the night's watch I don't know because like guards guys was the first big veterinarian book, which I didn't realize when we read it because we read that one first Yeah, I didn't realize that he won't have like a major role in Other discord books for a while this seems to be like the second time now like his he has a bigger partner Obviously the more book centric books like to watch books and then later the like more standalone and more book books and the moist books obviously Uh, but yeah for for that I feel Veterinary purpose or character. It was just he just really the thing is that he just really nates his name is characterization and guards guard so much and like Made that like an entire the the vibes veterinarian Dynamic it was like such a central part for that one that he kind of doesn't really actually doesn't really know What to do or like what what's twist to put on it in this one?

Yeah, yeah, I don't remember how it's gonna shake out in the third part of this but uh Yeah, I got to feel in that the veterinary stuff is just like gonna be whatever. It's gonna be great I don't know. Yeah, I don't want to spoil it, but um, the vines will continue to be in the watch What? Yeah, I know it's surprising but there it is.

Um, I was gonna say about the carrot stuff I also really like how uh how we we kind of get more of an idea why Angua likes him or why Angua is like damn this is this is a this is a type of guy It really is a type of guy It's like I don't know that just a guy who loves the place he lives in he's like a new york guy, you know He's like New York is the best city in the world, you know People who live in New York also kind of hate it. Yeah, yeah Well, that's why he's almost like he's not actually like a person who's from Angua book, right? He's like not like a native black more porky and would be like this is Angua book I live here at shit where it's kind of genuinely enthusiastic about it. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that's the two genders of Angua porky and are Carrots all times. Yeah Well, I think most people are like mice. Yes Yeah, current's like an unusual case. Yeah, but he's trying to core Angua But by making her enthusiastic about Angua book as well, which is quite sweet.

I think I like the scenes together. I think they're fun Yeah, yeah, he has a personality in this And so there's some funny gas moments in this where he initially is very betrayed that Angua would be interested in character They chased cats together in the end of the moonlight And then later on he managed to chase quirk away by subconsciously telling him that he is an itchy bottom, which is a classic classic scene Over my dad I mean that to me when I was like seven Bottom Guess what's a good dog? Yeah, apparently some publication did a list of best dogs and they included guest board and then Rihanna preachers we tweeted it saying oh it's good to see gas pod on here He is great to see gas pod props to gas pod Shut up to my main guest pod Making it clap on the tail Keeping it to see gas pod making it clap He is keeping it real though like he is he's not dead. He's on the earth.

He's on the ground. He's not gonna start You get a bit of movies man. Yeah, there's some reef civil moments in this part Uh where she's basically like well, you're well shot of being in the watch She doesn't do a lot in this book apart from sort of potter around she's like oh idea. Yeah, you're a wife to be sad But it's fine.

We'll get more civilts in the future She's been replaced with Angua who's not a big bobby's No character you get one yeah Yeah, uh, key point is civil in this book does not imprison anyone and try to re-educate Yes, we've been in that regard. Yeah, some sort of character for her I can't believe they did that in the show like the further away we got from it. Uh, the less the less sense Civilts character makes to me. Yeah, I I rewatch was just kind of evil I rewatch like um the last couple of episodes with my dad like the other week and it does not get better on a rewatch Um, I think it was worse just really just really weird characterization all around really.

I don't know who we're going for with that In retrospect also we ended up the crisis in like the first episode Um without us even getting to know him Yeah, I mean it's big and nice. Yeah, and I mean like hypothetically if like the one character died in this book Um, it would be great if we got to know them at first Not saying it's gonna have a writing decision. Robin. Have you you read this book before?

Um, I did like um, I know I haven't I think we were trying to make a point on a different episode. So I just pretended that I had read it and I haven't Okay, so you can relax it. Okay, so I'm very cool and it's fun to just life and no reason You should just do I don't know how absolutely no memory of what I've said in previous episodes. So as a result, it's not lying It's just I can't remember.

Yeah, that's why that happens to me often human error I don't ever want me and just try to cancel each other for lying. I don't remember what to lie about No, so am I new about said wouldn't it be funny If you pretended something happened in the Danny chapter In a show and so I said it because I you know I like to go along with my co-hosts schemes Um because I'm a gospel and then I was canceled online So you were doing improv and you were yes ending so you did deserve to be canceled. Yeah. Yeah improv is a crime honestly like that should be It's that's true.

Yeah on this podcast. We should try to like more actively um, no, but instead instead of you sending No, but I think that would be kind of a done thing to do on this podcast where we have very sensible takes and we We like to like, you know do analyses and all stupid jokes like other podcasts. I'm gonna do a cold open. Let's get to the point I'm analyzing right now.

I'm analyzing all of your behaviors and I'm writing report and it is unfavorable I'm sorry to say analyze this starting Robin Williams I'm coming up with your podcasting performance reviews and I'm sending you a report at the end of each month Do you know how they did how they made a sequel to analyze this and it was called analyze that That I feel yeah, yeah, it's like where Robin Williams is a psychologist. Oh, he was analyzing it that on this That end is yeah, what we say. Yeah, we're saying that Yeah Was also in a movie where you but that was like the fissher king. I think where he was That's true.

Yeah, it was it was Robbie Williams, of course Pizza Gator and oh yeah We talked about it before but it's very funny that he was very offended by pizza gate because he's like if that was a conspiracy why didn't they? That interview was such done by it was amazing. Yeah, so good. We were celebrity and you just mostly fell of ended that no one's giving you a dream That is what he's talking about how he's just a down to earth guy from the streets Yeah, we're looking out of his ticket whatever.

Yeah, so is not me No What's a Robbie Williams song? Oh You hear and you kind of know but I didn't know either. Yeah, they're mostly most of the songs that you hear and don't know Who they are is probably gonna be Robbie Williams. I see yeah, yeah, like when Chaz used to play uh, uh, such chance Stevens And I'd be like this Robbie Williams.

Yeah, it's very funny At least he didn't make the cat Stevens joke again. I thought about it I mean for me I say like four out of five mentions of session Stevens George will do the cat Stevens thing like the fifth one What I'm podcast last week and I did because I did mention that you are being very mean to him by saying casteevans all the time So what I'm trying to think it was genuine originally. Oh, like a Steven song I'm trying to think of not be singing a Robbie Williams song and all I can come up with is Detroit a caesar rock DJ I don't honestly know belly any Robbie Williams songs. I know rock DJ and angels Is him let me Yeah, okay Seminar we had to we had to analyze a Robbie Williams song.

It was called like like Madonna or something. Yeah, yeah, I just I just saw that on Google. Yeah, it's not a reference to like a version by Madonna. It is like explicitly about Madonna, but it was also like written by the petro boys or something like it is the right to sound songs Oh, yeah, I mean not that shocked.

I I'm thinking about how he had like a Russian would be like He has like in some kind of field somewhere and you've just got like shot bought vodka One of your friends has a truck and there's nothing for miles and your freezing cold. Okay. Mm. William says a cover of Santa baby Which is one of the worst songs ever eaten?

Yeah It's a part of the center. Yeah, and it yeah, it has a feature by Helena Fisher who is a very famous German slagas singer So how did that happen? Shlaga singer. Shlaga is like a German pop music basically It's like a trail by pop music basically.

Oh, like early Taylor Swift. Yeah, but like what a German flavor like the German flavor of being I guess Shlaga is like the um the better in uh, you know springtime for Hitler the musical and the producers Whether all the dancing girls are wearing like pretzels or like beer as that clear That's that's shorter. But like minus the Nazis for us. I know Yep, anyway Man Is everyone paying did I start for chain reaction?

Janos is here. I'm here. Is it Robin? Robin Williams Robin Williams I'm saying trad wife like trad wife pop.

I think you have the concept of a chaz wife Which is like wives I'm thinking about it They all want to be like jazz, but like they're also like trad wife at the same time. Okay What so it's pretty weird George has come up with a concept of a chaz wife for first to it. Oh, so me something Yes, the concept I've been trying to but be here but no one will go for for some reason I'm feeling about Chad wise Chad boy. Chad boy.

Chad was like really ripped. Yeah, I'm very handsome and and she's like what a bro So so a chaz wife. Yeah, it's basically the same Okay, okay many times many manyses on seas Robin Williams I was genuinely like I remember when I was like, I don't know eight and there was like a trailer for a movie in teddy robin William that was so confused because also all the other I wasn't like a robi williams fan or whatever But all the like trailer or like ads in the tv were like, you know, I went by robi william. No, that's a famous person It was very confusing for me So I'm glad we brought that back on this episode This podcast is about, you know, working through stuff It's not a good issue.

It's about what would it be like if chairs was a wife? No, it's wives who model themselves aesthetically and not politically on chairs. No. Yeah, just They think they need to serve their husbands faithfully and loyally but as a chaz I don't know if that's possible No Okay Well, you just gotta be aesthetically chaz, you know, not necessarily Kind of even dangerous Grass like a sort of librarian goth slash clown and muscles God, this really is an aesthetic podcast.

Um, I'm gonna poke at it. I'll be just review the aesthetics Oh, there's a there's a mention of uh of what the fuck is it called the the funny concept where you have to hit someone in the have Oh retro Oh, yeah, it's all the retro phrenologist which is rather than having a head shape that tells someone you have a personality trait You get your head reshaped to have that personality trait Which I think is a very very very funny joke and I haven't been so good about it I think it's extremely good. I think anybody who believes in phrenology should commit to the bit and get reversed phonology So funny. He's like jag is there.

He's like, uh, I would like to be less uncertain. No, I wouldn't yes Yes, I would and then he gets a big hammer and it's like this won't hurt a little bit and that's very truthful Was the idea of smushing your skull it's gross. I love it I mean you know you could you do have retro physi ognamists in this in this day age Oh Interesting. Hmm.

There's a lot of the other actually works obviously, but they do change your face. Yeah. Yeah, and it's always changing your face can change your personality Yeah, yeah, there's a talk about it. If they gave you a big a big sort of scarred smile you You might be able to go a little crazy.

You might be a little twisted after that Can you imagine me going up to like a plastic surgeon and being like I want to be the choker Well, I mean in the in the I want the joker in the which one is it tim Burton one? Yes It is what happens because he holds into that bat and he's like doctor my face is fucked up and the doctor like well I'm just working a back alley, but I'll see what we can do. I mean, that's not really bad It's a great movie. Oh watch that.

I've never seen any of the old bad. I like for the new bad A lot of a lot of bad man fans really hate Just that part of the movie that like Batman is the reason why the joker became the joker as who cares That's like a classic, you know revenge villain thing. It's the same with spider-man in the green goblin in the early spider-man Yes, yeah No, I will not kill your genetic illness even though This is just a great bit where like the bad the joker sees Batman just like you you did it Batman you made me you tossed me in that Wet of chemicals And it's true he did and it makes me think about the implications of what Batman does a great movie I genuinely you should watch it. Yeah, I think that was not into the vat of chemicals yet that less than that Less than that of chemicals toss over to you Is that an invitation?

Okay, I was a breath every time is even better like Tim Burton just really puts all his feathers into that one. Yeah, do not do not toss off into a vat less That Yeah, do not go gentle into that good night. Let's do not get nice as gentle to you Where this cause now is this podcast There's a great bit in Batman returns where like Christopher Walken is like an evil millionaire guy or like I don't know if he's a mayor or someone else. I think he's a mayor and then I report to like a purchase him and then he just says Yawn Lended the quorum always writes backwards because he's a genius Yeah, I mean I guess they're not a good idea like mirror writing but do we even know why did he also do it?

Just because he's like, you know He was he was feeling uh he was feeling very clever for it. It was he was like it twisted But it would be twisted if you were in mirror writing for the reason and it was like it's like having a code with your bros But it's with with yourself Like the majority of like it's just like a really horny man. Yeah, like extremely We're gonna reinvent up based around being extremely horny for David or other people I know a lot about the Renaissance Anyway, Leonardo da quorum. He has invented post-it notes and he calls it handy notes scribbling piece of paper that comes in suck when you want Um, he's also vented.

I think helicopter's which he calls Oh, no, he's invented like a sort of the airplane thing equals f-lapping wing flying device And I like yeah, I like his names. It's very funny But his names are very bad. It's like one of those jokes that like stuck with me in a way that I didn't remember what it was from I remember that it was from Terry Prechart and I was like this one character who Always called names by their most literal explanation. Yeah, it's um, it's like a like a homestuck troll movie Yeah, yes, but there is a footnote which says that even though Leonardo da quorum was the greatest Technological genius.

He was a detritus when it came to thinking up names. Just very rude Yeah, just try to sis clever. Yeah, he's great at it and it's cool. So yeah The universal constant constant Yeah, they just you know, he just cool is done too quickly at that point and he yeah, I liked it like ended with the equal sign.

Yeah, and it's like equals what is it equal? For sale one equation never told And we got our script editor remember told us to do a bit more audience engagement, so This week this week's this week's audio and get audience engagement is what do you think the universal constant is right in? Let us know Right. I'm also would you fuck a city if it was I mean the city fucking just goes back to Gatskart So I find really funny for the city if you recall and he can't do anything about it It's like a big woman.

I'm gonna fuck the big woman is the city But now carrots gonna fuck the big woman which is the city and then goes jealous They should they should do like a prone if a prone masturbator is on the ground floor house I can't fucking see. Yeah, I was thinking about that If if carrot gets angry excited they could do like a nice reason with the city I think that would be great They're doing like city role-playing. Oh, yeah, I'm a bridge, baby Where has to like cover herself in sewage in order to play the role of like Oh, I'm the vehicle oaker. Yeah, we're coming to my vehicle Yeah, there's a there's a callback to to a comorps being built on joins on a comorps basically because it's been done so many times But there aren't any tunnels because it's built on loam.

Yeah, let's just like when it floods They tend to build on top of it like whether the sort of sediment is left Which I think I'm pretty sensitive in this book or if it's in the oldest note another book Which is based on like San Francisco London's fairly similar. Yeah, sort of built on itself. You just keep building up I think it's I think it's the truth actually where he says that but yeah, it's like you rather than like Rebuilding you just like when the ground is covered you just build up and up and up and up until there's like three stories below the uh Bill of the ground level. Yeah, it's the the multi-pilot castle approach of building Building on a swamp.

They're all said that you could build on this one. Yeah, I'm on the python. That's classic classic British company Where she's going to say Entire bit in uh in ready play one where the main character had to recite the entire dialogue from uh Monte python and the holy grail and he nailed it That's what intelligence is. You know, there's been a lot that I mean people have said this already But ready play.

I want to really is just trying to justify all the stupid shit that you've memorized If you're like some middle-aged nerd dude being like actually there is a useless in my fantasy world that I've created Um, it doesn't mean you're always fun and interesting. Yeah, it's even like even like a People like narrows more plastic for greens. I think even narrows Narrates how when he resized the entirety of one person in the holy grail how much the audience is laughing at it like this This movie at the point in the movie is already like At this point of the book is already like hundred years old because it's in the future They're still obsessed with the 80s and 70s I don't know about you guys, but if somebody started to do like a one man live performance Any movie actually I would not I would not be hooting on hollering. Let's put it that way So you're not gonna be a woman one woman performance of my dinner with Andre where I act out the entire conversation But with one half of my head looking like Andre and the other half looking like well, I'll defend how well you do it That might be exception to the rule.

Okay Would you be like constantly turning your face? While you yeah, you should do a puppet show. I think it would be more engaging. Oh my god You can do a mine a mine version of my dinner with Andre because you have two hands Which is the number of characters are in the movie.

Yeah Of a movie that is a conversation It's sort of like a mind version of a podcast. So he's like If you put on a mind version of who watches the work which I imagine is just someone doing jerk-off motion I Mind podcasting recently. So we give you a bit of it. Yeah, here we go.

Okay Amazing So we did a I like georgia spatial expressions and I also like the bit where he did hands and that was sorry I think it wasn't necessarily funny, but it makes you think which is honestly the main purpose of podcasting I'd rather be made to think than to laugh. I must say I love enough makes my throw up. I laugh enough when I watch the news I like a society and I'm laughing so I don't like watch comedy. I watch John Stuart's the daily show.

That's where I get my news. Yeah people people about that tea party, eh? People laugh at our podcasts because we're different but I love it. They're all to say Most people only have one life but a podcast That's not I mean the audience I've got to go out to us.

We really do try hard to create the most unlistable Keep growing and we're trying to stop there. We're trying to We're trying to go back to the glory days when we had like 15 listeners. Yeah, don't we ever have to swim in this is I don't know Because the sun cloud analytics were weird like before we switched to pinecast so I don't know I feel like I just feel like we came out there because they're your podcast's womb. Yeah already with like 30 listeners You know they just they knew they would yeah Like one of those saints who was born and they say something like god be glorified when they come out the womb Like Benjamin button like right like we were born.

We were already like and we're already disgusting What is going on with age? Okay, do we have more comments on this? I don't think so I have a thing with the racial element of the of this book the ones of this part of the book, you know the race stuff It's not very good could be better. Yeah, he does say the other end.

Yeah, yeah, not the really bad one But the one that's probably not the best the best end word Yeah, that's true. Yeah Yeah, he does say that he would that captain quirk would say the end word Which is a very jarring thing to say in a book that takes place at another universe Um, he does he just once again say that like yeah Racial prejudice isn't like a huge thing, but at least he said it doesn't he doesn't say it doesn't exist in this one because You know in like two books time. We will have jingo. Yeah, which is about that.

Which is about racism But like not species racism not speciesism Which is what this thing? Yeah How he explicitly point when when when captain quirk says like two slos about like he says a slow about the The dwarves and then another one about the about the trolls and then either like in the text or in the foot No, he explains that um while saying those words is already very bad and they shouldn't be said But the fact that he said you people with that voice is even worse. Yeah, it's like more Yeah, it showed I think he let's said it was worse. It was more than it sort of showed Yeah, it's racism Like the unit because I don't know when you when you hear people being racist There are certain like things that people can wait so people can refer to like other groups Yeah without slos Yeah, without slos like in like oh dear.

No, this is going to be saying those people It's a bit there's a bit from cuddies point of view as well where he's like thinking about the way he's referred to as like Well, there's a bit when they go into their like um Arms manufacturing place and they talk to the yeah They were they talk to the quartermaster and they're like oh they're these people work for you and he's like I was no one working here and they're like the trolls and he's like oh, they're not people. Yeah Yeah, it is interesting because like obviously it's not like a sort of bright situation where they've done evil Things in the past and that's why everyone's justified in being prejudiced like there's no reason for them to be prejudiced But you know sometimes it's a bit clumsy. I was also thanking thanking Terry for not doing the bright thing where the fantasy fantasy species are like direct exepees Yeah, like direct comparisons to ethnic populations in the real life like in The orcs were the orcs were just like black people but blue and like had an evil past. It's like you sure This is the best way of doing this This is bad Terry will fall down that fall down on that in other ways, but they won't be about I don't know It's his his like fantasy species are not he doesn't use them as like direct analogies for real real populations.

Yeah Yeah, he just has a whole land, which is funny racist China Time I like the cadence writers are getting along though like them. They were set up as oh these two species inherently hate each other always but If they give each other a chance, yeah, maybe they can become buddies Because they don't even see themselves is that race anymore, you know, he's like oh, you can't trust wolves And he's like but you are a dwarf and he's like oh, I guess and he's like oh trolls are evil He's like but to try this you are a troll and he's like well, I'm a policeman now That is the other race of policemen The most the press group the car There's eight of them in life In this book, so that's really naturalized. Yeah, not really not really a defined group. I guess Yeah, and there's there's like other parts that are like oh and this is this is a interesting take right like or like where if you like He's making making an okay point where he's like, yeah You know a lot of crimes were resolved just because they found someone to be of the right species That's the wrong place.

Like that's yeah, that drinks right Yeah, that's like yeah a whole paragraph on all they they chased him because he was running Yeah, and if you were like something about you have nothing to hide I did say the quote where does it was a bit where the letter goes on the principle that everyone's committed to crime probably And that's true So everyone is guilty. Well, I have not One of the things I was thinking about What are the sort of um also the sort of contexts in which he is writing this in terms of like British politics at the time Because I was initially like what like to do with guns, uh, you know what what sort of sparks this Him wanting to write about how bad he thinks guns are essentially What was happening in the 90s? I was thinking specifically in a British context written in I think 91 on 92. Yeah, 93.

I said because 93 I'd originally thought maybe it was um Done Blaine which was a school shooting in the UK But that was in the night that was in 97 So I think if anything it was probably more influenced by like the hunger for the most of which was another one in the in the late 80s um And I mean, I like riots were the year before as well That's true and there were a lot of there are a lot of riots that were driven by like racial injustice in the 80s specifically Like uh, tuxdith and brixden. Yeah other ones Yeah, it's complicated because again, it is like a cop story. Um, but you know Terry's trying to be He's trying to say something about you know, he's trying to be like, it's not good, you know He's trying to be like racism. It's pretty bad and you it's not good the thing that you should do But then like the copster sometimes feels like it gets in the way of that for me personally Um, yeah And makes it harder to just be like, oh, this is good, you know, because it's like The point is almost like well, you know, they're cops, which is different.

Um, cops are I don't know if Terry was quite equipped to like go into it In a sort of I don't think Terry even really thought about cops in a deep sense. Like he just I think like he does He does sometimes because that there is stuff about like later on about police brutality and what police are there's there's this line in I mean, that's like what Nightwatches about quite a lot and in one of them where he talks about how cops should be armed because they're not soldiers They are civilians, um where he's sort of talking about cop violence But I don't think he recognizes cops as like a thing itself as being bad or like structurally bad So I don't know. Yeah, he sort of kind of gets it and then sort of doesn't and there's sometimes it's you know funny jokes about police I know yeah, well, I mean the ghost one explicitly has that whole section about the stop and search Which it kind of it slightly passes off as like how funny jokes, but also point it points out that it's wrong I don't know. It's kind of weird tonally.

Yeah. Yeah, I think there's some there's some small acknowledgement that maybe maybe it don't always be so good from the cops You know, but um, yeah like when he says about they make a joke He makes a joke about carat saying they have policing by consent. Yeah, that joke got me And while they're pointing at the crossbow at this point to give him more given weapons Yeah, because policing by consent like how do you consent to police being police? I've no idea.

Yeah, no one asked me I don't know. I don't consent to being police Yeah, but they always pushed their policing by consent thing, which I did think was very funny because I've been hearing about it a lot recently And to do with you know, UK police stuff is very funny a bit where um carats like um If you if you object then, you know, you can say no You might have actually gone along with it if they had said no, but no one's quite sure which is how I managed to get away with it Yeah, I was gonna say like that bit is a little like as Robin said little weird tonally because so they're like Oh, we need the weapons like we need more weapons to to like do this shit Uh, we can't go on on so they're just gonna go like you have to give them to us or you don't have to but you know We're we're the cops. I don't know. It's like It's it's kind of like having it both ways because it's like, you know, joking about how It's actually the wrong thing to do when they don't really consent to it But at the same time we like want them to get we want them to find the bad guy.

We want them to stop the crime Yeah, I mean that it's mostly joke It's like they're they're stealing from this armory using like funny threats to get the cool weapons and the guy is very racist So you're like and he's racist When the weapons are nice. He makes a few he makes a few gaps, which are very funny Rich funny gas They're not racist. It's gas. It's gas.

It's gas One of weapons guy's racist. Okay to abuse your police power. Yeah The only of his racist You have to ask how you racist first are you racist? May I please you?

It's complicated um politically We're not here to we're not here to tell you what's good or not Explicitly that's what this podcast is. We're not here to judge. We're not here. I'm gonna.

I'm gonna judge. I'm sorry I'm gonna teach you to analyze. I'm gonna appear to find like deal with the complicated parts of these books We're just here to have a good time good Yeah We're just here. We're tossing off into the bat.

We're just into the rug The rat in the rug are tossing off. We're tossing off our good opinions, you know, it's Another thing is like is racism bad. That's up to you To decide for yourself. Yeah Racism is one of the most controversial topics these days Don't want to sway some people say it's good.

Some people say it's bad. Yeah, I think I think there's great people on both sides Some of my best friends are racist Um No, it wasn't true like the doesn't feel like I was just playing a character. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, it was true Although if you know she's friends are reason no, I don't have my friends are my friends are only homophones and misogynists, but I draw the line of traces What about animal cruelty? Oh, that's fine Okay, how cruel okay?
