I have an idea for how to start the show. I'm going forward. I think it should open with you sort of doing a Cooper to his little tape recorder thing, but you're addressing Dan. Dan.
Dan? Somehow make Dan two-soubles. Yeah, two-ways in there. You might need more, honestly, to make it really feel like two.
Well welcome back to Antoin Peaks. It makes me laugh every time. And why is it called that? Well, I've decided it's because we are the King me program and we do two-and-peaks.
We talk about King Minshet and Twin Peaks. Back once again, Dan and Rob here. Hi, I'm Rob. Yeah, I'm Dan.
And Rob, do you know what time it is? Oh, I do know what time it is. You do? Yeah.
It's realization time. That's right. This is a good one. It's a one episode.
Seven. We're saying seven. We are. And we're right.
Yeah, because we said it. Feels like things are really starting to cook. We had a simmer going and now we have like, what's it called when it's like the little, you know, right before the rolling boil starts and it's like a lot of little bubbles. We're at that point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a potboiler here. Yes. As on the Dan Harmon story, Will, this is the Little Bubbles section.
Right. I already have to eject Gizmo from the episode. Yeah. She'll be back.
Yeah, she'll be back. Yeah, episode seven, realization time. Directed by Caleb Deschanel, of course. Who sired two beautiful girls.
Sure. Sorry. No, he did. He did.
Also at the top of the show. Before we get into any episode stuff. Tell me you're going to plug the Patreon after sired two beautiful girls. You better not.
I was going, I was not going to plug the Patreon. Oh, okay. You should probably, you know, since you're listening to the free episode, if you want to hear the rest of this episode, you should go over to Patreon.com slash KingiPod. You get the rest of these Tuesday episodes and every other Friday you get a bonus show.
That's a lot of content. Go. And you're probably thinking, well, surely they take away the free Kingi episode. No, you get that too.
You get that too. Also, gorgeous feed. Yeah. Speaking of free.
Oh, I know. That's right. That's a trial. That's right.
As we've said on the show many times now, you could sign up for free, listen to all the episodes and then cancel before you get charged. Onto the next town. That's really good. You rolling stone ass.
Yeah. You fleece those here. And that's fine. You can do it.
Look, you think this is the first time I've turned out my pockets and I'm off as flown out. Please, please. This is my life. Come on.
My life is my life. Pocket's full of maul. I will also say as a preface to this episode. Yeah.
I was at a wedding last night. Oh, shit. Rob fans. I think I really love this episode.
It's going to be a big, big Rob up. I will be here mostly in spirit. Oh, good. Yeah.
It's going to be I think Dan's going to take it back. See, it's going to mean gizmo mostly. Oh, wow. She has a lot of thoughts on Waldo.
The Waldo scene. Yeah. Well, the yeah, and am I worried about gizmo sort of edging me out? No.
She's a cat. And she's a man. She's not as quick with the funnies as it can be. Has been.
Has been. Let's talk about Waldo. Let's start with Waldo, the minor bird. The episode kind of start, right?
That's pretty early on that first scene with my favorite line of the episode to get what's his name out of the scene. He goes, you have any apples? You're like, we got a couple in the fridge. These grapes are about to turn.
These grapes are right on the edge. They're right on the edge. That's it. Yes.
These grapes are right on the edge. Yeah, that's very funny. It's a very funny line. No, but we can't.
We have to. Last we left off, Cliff Hanger. Cooper entered his hotel room to find a naked Audrey under the sheets. So that's very terrifying.
So Cooper does the honorable man. And so he does the honorable thing. He does the honorable thing. Which is not sleep with a high school student.
Even though as we have established, she is totally 18 years old and it would be fine. I'm just saying. I have a question. This is the thing I was fixated on in the scene.
Was his FBI jacket? Do you notice the font was crazy? I did notice that. It wasn't like the traditional block sort of letters.
Yeah, I don't know what font it was, but it had accents on the edges. I did notice that. I looked like the font you'd see on the sign for a fairy, kind of gift shop. I was saying the same thing.
F-A-E-R-I-E. Yeah, like a, maybe a Renfarer or something. Yeah, yeah. It was a little old English, a little bit of a touch of that sort of font.
Surely, an FBI jacket has never actually looked like that. That's got to be an embellishment for this otherwise grounded program. Sure. Yeah, so right.
Cooper says that he is an honorable man and that he swore an oath to the FBI not only to a pulpit law, but also to be kind of an example, an honorable person. Sleeping with a high school student is definitely not on the list of things that make you honorable. Makes you pretty cool, but not honorable. Okay, some high fives with the Icelanders for sure.
So he says, I'm going to go down to the kitchen or whatever downstairs, the restaurant downstairs. I'm going to get two orders of fries, two malts, and then you're going to get dressed. And then I'm going to come back and you can tell me all your problems. And she's like, it might take all night.
And he's like, that's fine. It's funny. It's so, you know, over the top wholesome. Yes, it's the way to put it.
Totally. I mean, fries over at a malt. I'm wrong. Yeah, all night long.
Right? Just like using this to really underscore the idea that he's the opposite of a one-eyed Jack's patron. Sure. Because here's the thing.
Agent Til Cooper's about to go undercover. And we need to know beyond the other way. That's going to recover as James Bond. Wearing a tuxedo to a sleazy, deadwood style saloon casino.
A Canadian, but it's a sleazy Canadian casino. Yeah, so then we see Andy come into work the next day. And Lucy is still giving him the cold shoulder. And he's like, I sure you wish you would stop calling me.
I want to keep wanting to say his name is Andy Deafrain. But of course it's not Andy Deafrain. It's Brennan. I sure do wish you would stop calling me Deputy Brennan.
And she's like, OK, Deputy Andy. And then she says something like, right now is a prime time for phone calls. I can't talk right now. And just then the phone rings.
And it's a doctor. What? And you can hear him say, I have the results here. And then she's like, no, I'm fine.
It's OK. OK. And then hangs up. Dan, what do you think this is all about?
I think she, I assumed it was like a pregnancy thing. And she lost the bid bay. Oh, that's dark. Yeah.
Oh, is that too dark? Oh, shit. All right. Let me try again.
We want these things for Andy and Lucy. I think she has a cold. She has a strong circle. It's a positive circle.
Oh my god. Oh, my god. Yeah. I mean, that's what I thought.
But I don't know. Maybe Lucy has, I don't know. What? No, I'm just asking.
I'm just asking. I'm just asking questions. I know what's going on. You know.
Just seeing if you're, if you know what's going on. No, I don't. But I thought you what I think is going on. Well, that's great.
Well, maybe the doctor called and said, Bob killed Laura Palmer. And she was like, damn, now wait a spoil and Twin Peaks for me. I've been watching interviews and stuff with the cast and whatnot. And there's an interview.
I think it's from 2020 or maybe even 2020. It's like a panel that most of the cast is on. And they're talking about, they're actually talking about the episode where it is revealed who killed Laura Palmer and in all the cast, like nobody in the cast knew who it was going to be. They were all a little bit worried that it was going to be them, you know, because then once the mystery is up, then you, what do you do?
Yeah. So even up until the episode when they filmed it, and you know, maybe we'll talk about more then, but he filmed certain scenes with three different actors to sort of throw off the scent of who was the actual murderer. Wow. Yeah.
But Dan knows that it's Bob. Yeah, it's Bob. You think I'm stupid? Of course it's Bob.
It's Bob. Yeah. So, yeah, Lucy gets that call. Cooper comes in, says, Hey, Lucy, you notice you weren't in yesterday.
Hope everything is okay. We'll come back to that, I think. And then he goes into the conference room where Doc Hayward is trying to nurse a bird back to health. The bird has been starved and dehydrated.
So seems to be outside his jurisdiction. Yeah. I mean, well, there is a vet. We know that the one our man's best friend, Dr.
Bob is a vet, but he is in a coma. So he's not going to be talking to anybody. So Doc Hayward is the next best thing. Birds like a person in so many ways.
Yeah. Hollow bones, strong beak for cracking nuts. Yeah. It's all the same once you get in there, right?
Yeah. Being a bird is only skin deep. Exactly. Yeah.
Not what he says. He's like, can you get this bird talking? And he's like talking is sort of like playful to birds and this bird is like in survival mode right now. So once he's back to health, he will start talking again.
And Cooper sets up his tape recorder to only go off when there's a sound. So it's like a fancy tape recorder that way. So he sets it up right outside the cage. So he can, you know, if the bird starts talking, they'll get it.
Right. Perfect. Good setup. What could go wrong?
Exactly. And we'll just put this bird in front of the window. Yeah. No problems here.
And I'm sure this is completely unrelated to this storyline here, but then we see Leo outside of his home watching Bobby Briggs just fucking through the scope. Yeah, through a sniper rifle. Well, first it's binoculars. And then he sees Bobby coming off like basically skipping up to the house because you know, he's about to have sex with his beautiful owner jutting out in front of him like a where those like rods, a dowsing rod.
Dowsing. Oh man. Gross. He's just looking for the wetlands.
All right. Come on. Hey, man, you went there. I said boner.
You said dowsing rod. Oh, honestly didn't even put that together. Isn't that what they're called though? Those things that you use to like find water.
Oh, is that why it's called a dowsing rod? Because you get it wet in the water? Well, yeah. What did you.
I know what they were for. I thought it was like a new age. You like find the vibes kind of thing. You can find like a wellspring of energy.
A wellspring of energy of water. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
So that's Bobby's boner. This is a very educational show. Yeah. No, we get into it.
But yeah, so he sees Bobby walking up there and then see Shelley off the door and they hug and walk in and and we was just fucking furious. He grabs his rifle and you know, he's been shot. We saw Leo get shot or at least Shelley shoot him. We cut away before.
We saw what happened. We saw him in the window. You know, just shot his one arm. So he's like, all right, I'll use my good arm to shoot Bobby Briggs when he leaves that house.
But then he hears over the radio because he's listening to the police scanners. Here's Lucy talking about a witness that they have. What for the Laura Palmer murder? What?
Oh, and Leo gets freaked out and gets in his car and he drives off. I don't know. Leo, a lot of stuff pointing to Leo here. Even though that blood on his shirt was jocks.
But yeah, I wonder what. I wonder where this is all going. No, you don't. You know what it's going.
I wonder where it's going. Well, I know. I'm just trying to empathize with you here. You can sympathize, but you can empathize.
You don't share my lived experience of not knowing what's going on. I'll tell you what, if anything is going to convince me that maybe Bob, the obvious murderer didn't do it. Yeah. It's Leo in this episode.
Why does he care so much? Why does he care so much? What is he trying to protect here? I guess Bob.
I guess. And while the other thing is like, what if Laura Palmer was full of Jacques Grino's blood? I mean, she is full of secrets. We definitely know that.
Yes. And what if one of those secrets is a job? Secret blood transfusions. She had a darkness in her.
She was addicted to blood transfusions. French Canadian blood transfusions. So inside the house, Bobby and Shelley. Well, Shelley is like crying to Bobby saying that she shot Leo, but she didn't kill him.
And he ran off and she's so scared. He's going to come back and kill me and all this stuff. And Bobby tells her like, we don't have to worry about Leo. I'm going to take care of Leo.
I'm going to take care of James. All of this is, you know, Bobby's going to take care of all of this. That look on his face when they're like embracing each other after he says all this is basically just like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, just eyes wide, tugging at his collar. Yeah.
Yeah. I may have been off a bit more than I can chew here. This is quite the pickle here. Not here.
Oh, well, don't worry, Shelley. I'll just kill everyone who's ever wrong. Either of us. That's my plan.
I'm Bobby. I'm going to go on a murder spree. Oh, I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Yeah.
So let me get our our our kid detectives here in James, Donna and Matty. They get together and listen to that tape and Matty found in Laura's bed post. And it's a tape to Dr. Jacobi.
Pretty pretty like salacious stuff. She's going into she's like, I had one of those dreams last night again. The ones you like. Yeah, the ones you like so much.
So I mean, like, she also hit some with a Bugs Bunny. Right? That's what's up, doc. Yeah.
That's another secret. We didn't know she was Bugs Bunny. We didn't know she was anything like Bugs Bunny. Yeah.
I know she's saying his catchphrase. I mean, maybe maybe that's a clue. Maybe she's simply gone underground and that's what we're getting at with that line. Where'd she go?
We actually know she is underground because she was different. Do you think she would have died if only she made that left at Albuquerque? That's where she took a wrong turn. Did take a wrong turn.
So these kids, they're listening to the tape and Laura is being it's like they're listening to Laura speaking away that it feels like none of them have ever heard her speak this way before. Right. And she's talking about, you know, starting out her dreams and you know how she like she like it seems like she records these sort of like like sexy sort of tapes and stories that she tells and whatever and then sends them to Jacobi. We've all gone to therapy.
Hey, we've all yeah, we've all read our personal audio erotica to our therapist. That's what therapy is. It's when you yeah, it's when you you talk in your breathiest voice. You're right.
Oh, and well, it's up, doc. I have depression. Why are you why are you doing Batman? I was trying to do breathy and that's what came.
Hey, doc. Hey, hey, go ahead. Just. Oh, why are you so serious?
I'm conveniently, Laura does mention the coconut in Dr. Jacobi's apartment. Yeah, they do keeps it stuff. Yeah, cool stuff.
She, yeah, they know about like, I think they know about like Jacobi's weird sort of tiki a tiki bullshit, right? Later on when they call him, he'd say, yeah, Aloha. Yeah, when he answers and he says Aloha, that's so good. It's within Aloha real quick.
Yep. Mahalo, doc. Yeah, really good stuff there. Um, next we get a great scene of Audrey working at Horns department store.
Yeah, working at the perfume counter trying to convince an old lady to buy the perfume and then maybe she could wear the bottle. It's like a necklace. That's like a two for one fashion statement is how she just rides it. Yeah, this lady, I'll tell you what I didn't really know what the department store manager was getting at when he said the customers were difficult.
How could you be? So difficult just buying the perfume. Right. We could be a mean old lady.
Yeah, I don't like this one. It's too fruity. All right. What do you want?
It sounds like you know what you want. So why don't you tell me that? Why don't you articulate that and then we can get somewhere with this. So there's another girl that she's working with at the counter that manager comes over and asks the other girl to come back to his office for a meeting before they before she leaves the counter.
This girl, Audrey says she's got to use the bathroom. So she goes and she sneaks off and hides. Where she grabs a cigarette, then she hides in the manager's office closet and smokes a cigarette in there and watches the meeting between this girl and the manager where he's basically like, you're doing a great job here. We'd love to offer you another job at One Eye Jax.
You could be like a cocktail waitress or maybe a blackjack dealer. There are also opportunities for hospitality girls. So not to jump ahead. But we, you know, when we get to One Eye Jax, we see the jocre no is the dealer at the black jack table.
Do you think he started at the perfume counter? And it was just like, it's just not working out. Yeah, this guy's stinky. He smells like a fucking casino floor.
He's got a mount here. You'd be perfect for the casino floor position. Yeah. Yeah.
So, right. And then he's like, you know, let's get you a sexy new outfit for your legitimate. Yeah, you're a total legitimate job. You're not, you know, sex trafficking job.
Right. How's that sound? She, the manager gives her a business card and says, you know, call this number. And it's like black.
It tells her like ask for like somebody black rose black rose. That's what it is. So she, she leaves and then Audrey returning to the counter. She's like, oh, I'm sorry.
The manager also gave her like a little crystal unicorn. And when the manager and this girl leave, Audrey comes out, she grabs like, I guess there's another crystal unicorn in this guy's desk, grabs that and looks through the his like little black book of girls and Ronette's name is in there. All right. Intrigue intrigue.
So when she goes back out to the perfume counter, she tells this girl like, uh, I got a unicorn too. Like they must have a thousand of these things. But you know what? I forgot.
I lost the black rose number. Can you just give it to me? So she does. And then that leads to what happens later.
So doesn't it always? Always. Isn't what happens first always what leads to what happens later? Isn't that just the way?
All right. It's a bit formulaic really. Speaking of which, have you gotten into fall of a house of usher yet? I have not.
Is it a bit formulaic? No. But because of something that happens and other thing happens. Oh, yeah.
True enough. Well, first someone, yes, a wrecking ball hits the house of usher and then it falls. There is a scene like that. There is.
Yeah. That's fun. It's really, it's fucking really good. Damn.
I got that in there. Yeah. Right. So Audrey has, she's going like, she's doing like an independent sort of investigation.
Nobody's helping her out. Who honestly on the show, who isn't? Well, you mean like she doesn't have a team. She doesn't have a team behind her, right?
Like she's just sort of doing all this stuff on her own. Where James, Donna and Maddie are like a little unit. If Cooper and Truman and the cops, they're like a unit. They're trying to solve it.
So yeah, the Audrey does that. What else? What else? Can I say?
Oh, please. I'm worried about Audrey. I'm worried about Audrey. She's just a kid.
Yes. And she's getting into some real dark shit. She is 18, so that's legal, right? Yeah.
An adult, really. This is something you're very passionate about. I know I said no to the age of consent discussion segment on Gini. I know I kind of use my veto power for that.
You want to talk about it while we're doing the children in the corn movies? I'm glad it's sort of organically finding its way in here. Me too. I'm sure you are.
Libertarian Rob. Libertarian Rob. Yeah. Come on.
Yeah. Come on. It's Libertarian Rob. It's Libertarian Rob.
But yeah, no, I don't know. I feel like obviously she's very good at this. Audrey. Yeah.
But it's like, I don't know. That's what makes me think she's going to get into some real hot water here. Yeah. I mean, Audrey always sort of seemed like the girl who like, she was a little bit smarter than everybody else in the room.
But then thinking, big fish in a small pond kind of a totally right. She's a rich kid. She's never confronted hostile forces. Exactly.
So she thinks that she's kind of invincible, which young people do. And then she's putting a situation with bigger fish and such. And then we'll see what happens with that. It's kind of everybody's, all of our main characters is sort of what's happening to them here.
Yeah, they're all waiting into deeper waters than they're accustomed to. They are. And with varying levels of capability here, you know, I think Audrey is probably smarter than James, Donna, and Maddie in general. Well, I mean, James canonically is stupid.
Yeah, I mean, he is a big dummy. And always has the kind of face on like he doesn't know what's happening around him. Stay home, buddy. Hit the books.
Yeah. Yeah. And then like, yeah, Donna also is being like such a teenager about all of this. Yeah.
And like is kind of swept up in the sort of, I think, not just like the romance in like the sort of broader sense of the word where it's like the, like she's very compelled by the emotion of the emotional stakes of her own situation. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. It's the thing with her and James, which is like this thing that is so passionate and whenever they talk about Laura, it just bubbles up and they have to make out with her.
Yeah. But then like when they try to do it normal style and he puts on a sweater and comes over for dinner. It's a dead end. It's very unhealthy.
Yeah. Yeah. Like we kind of need to talk about our dead friends in order for us to get off here. So speaking of that's why they're like, we need to find this missing Laura Palmer to Dr.
Jacoby Kate to take from the night she died. Yeah. We got to put more fuel in the tank. We got to spice things up here.
Oh, God. I think that's a good spot for a quick break. Yeah. Right.
