Villain Underground #66

Hey everybody, it's George Stephanopoulos. I'm a bell because number one, Twisted Doosboy. And I'm here to tell you about a podcast you should twist about as much as you twist me, George Stephanopoulos. It's a book review podcast.

And on this book review podcast, they read books that are about the six, they're about the six and the three stuff. And this podcast is called A Good Look to Be a Books. You know what it is, this podcast. It's but it's Robietta.

Go check about a GLBB on Twitter, baby. Wait, I don't know if that's the exact Twitter or GLBB podcast. That might be it. Let me check real quick.

Yeah, it is a GLBB podcast. Go check them out. Is it go trust them as much as America? Trust me, George Stephanopoulos.

You can write spot forward or we did out the podcast. It's a good type. Hello and welcome to another episode of the Villain Underground. I am your game Merlot.

Happy puke and I am here with some delicious drinks. First, we have our Rose Will playing Robonobo. Hi, I'm audio clippy, the podcast assistant. My jobs to help you navigate your levels.

Do you need assistance? We have our Moscato Cody playing Miss Deeds. Hi, I'm a very sweet drink, Wink. I'm a Scottish sweet one.

Yes. Okay, cool. Thank you. We have our Pinot Griedio Phil playing Silicon artist.

Hey, everybody, my name's Phil. I'm trying to predict trends in memes for the next two weeks ahead of this recording. So he put in cheese, whizzing your hair, teens. That'll be funny in the future.

If it works, do you remember that meme that was going around saying you don't know this meme because it's from the future? And it was like the three old people and they were colored like like had that weird like color overlay and they were laid out really strangely. I don't think I've ever seen that one. That's fine.

Sounds like a good meme, actually. And we have our resident Chardonnay, Ali playing updraft. I'm at Fruity with just a little bit of a bite. And we have our special guest, Riesling.

Guess who that is? It's Greg. Hey, hey guys, who who's sharded? Yeah.

Right. Got it. You got it. I think Ali hates Greg.

I are up for that. That pun specifically. It was a good pun. It was top shelf.

Hey, yeah. I worked it. Yeah. Let it breathe.

Right. Let it breathe. That's right. Oh man.

It's a good to call it top shelf or is it better to call it bottom of the seller because that's where you keep lines, right? Do you keep the top shelf as liquor? Yeah. Wine is divine, but liquor is quicker.

It's delicious as well. Yeah. The good stuff, you know, at the actual winery or the violin place is going to be like he said down to basement seller as low as it can go, right? And as long as they keep it there.

But then once it's bottled up and they ship it out, you know, then up to the top shelf, it goes. If it's good stuff, right. Then the middle shelf stuff is just regular. What's the bottom shelf stuff?

How will I get it? How's alcohol? Oh, yeah. Well, it's wounds farm.

Well, it's a wound farm barefoot and Carlo Rossi. Yeah. Don't make fun of me. Cool.

Like get out of here. Thank you. Yeah. I don't mind it for a fine shelf for dollar bottle.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I like middle shelf stuff. Good by me.

Yeah. So can somebody tell me what happened on the last year episode of this year podcast calling it villain underground today? It looks like it was definitely me. Everybody was everybody was knows pointing while we were talking wine.

Yeah. I just did it. She just preempted all of us. It was like, no, you ain't catching me.

It ain't gonna be me. It looks like it was a day. It was a day. What happened last time?

We went back in time to like the 1880 something a year in the past 1872. 1872. Oh, I have no. I don't.

What the fuck am I doing? Let me open up my notes. Give me a second. 1872.

We went back to the past. We met Greg. He was just like, hey, guess what? There's a car that is the very fancy car that Greg usually has.

And then we were like, we need to go to town and we kind of learned a little bit more about the past of the pirate Bay place. Pirate Point. Pirates. Pirates.

And we like hang out and there was a sheriff lady who sheriffs on who had access to a real cool dinosaur who was Toshi and we need to go stop stampede dead or alive. Oh my god. I just got the Toshi joke. Yeah.

Toshi. Well, why do you hate? Why do you hate everything we make? I make I make sad noises, but in my heart, I'm happy.

Oh, also they had electricity apparently. Yes, because of some strange alien device and we're trying to access that device to maybe potentially get back to our own. Our time. Yeah.

Yeah. So that's where we pick up. Does everybody remember where their characters were? Because some of you were were with sheriff Zans and about to leave town.

She's going to show you where she believes stampede the the Dread Robert stampede is. And some of you were staying back in town. Who was heading out with sheriff Zane? I think I was.

I was. I think it was Robonobo. I think so. I believe he was as well.

I think he was still horse form or no, he was he was business to form, but he was going as well. Yeah. I think Miss Deeds was staying back in town or was she not. I think she was going with.

I think it was Greg who was going to stay back in town and talk to people. Yeah, Greg was. Greg was mosey along. He was not interested in a in a snake.

So to speak. So we will we will start with the I guess the entire crew who's head not with sheriff Zane into the desert. She's giving you some loaner horses from the town and she's writing her a loss of raptor into the desert and you guys are following her. The rest of us don't get the loss of raptors.

No, she only has the one. Oh, I'm sad now. I apologize. I can't even think about it.

Why absolutely. I'm not going to do it. Come on. But do I have to roll to get a little closer after you have to roll a natural 20?

OK, here we can on fate, nice. It didn't happen. All right. So is anybody doing anything during the ride?

I would like to write up close to share some if I can. Yeah, sure. She allows it. Say, Sheriff, how how did you get that weird looking horse you got?

Well, I've been on a lot of adventures, you know, traveling back and forth through time stream and whatnot and you know, you pick up a few things when you do that. I beg your pardon. You said time stream. Yeah.

I mean, you got some compatriots look like they're not exactly from this here time period themselves. So I thought you were so familiar. I thought you were so familiar. Well, that's that there's a robot monkey.

He's a robot. Yeah, I figured I figured you had some sort of clue what was going on. I thought it was honestly this hot summer sun getting to me. She looks back at a robot.

She's like, robot monkey, do you know your robot or has your member been wiped? Should you be calling me an automation? Oh, like a time of time. I suppose I've been, you know, I've been back and forth through the time stream.

You pick up a few things. So let me get this straight. You wrangled a loss of raptor. Well, I had to.

At that point, it was, it was that in my life and I decided, you know, to wrangle a loss of raptor. Sure. Sure. How does that process go?

Do you just have them like sniff your hand or something? You just like put your hands straight out sort of like bend down on your knees. We live wild in the woods of, you know, primordial times and you get to know who wanted to things and your team want you to break it in. You become friends, save your life, you save its life, you know, that kind of thing.

Toss it some chicken. Yeah, you know, you see, you see a loss of her about die, you save its life and later comes back and helps you. It's this story is oldest time. Sure.

Sure. No, this is the first time I've ever heard it. So no. Oh, sorry.

I guess it's the first time for everything. So how did you end up in a say this time? Oh, this is the time I always come back. Oh, wait, you can control it?

No, not at all. You just sometimes people come by and they're like, hey, we need your help and all right. Well, when, when, where and that kind of thing. So you know people who can control it.

Yeah. Are they here? Not right now. Not in the now.

Correct. You know, from all around time. So I don't really know how to contact them either. Sorry.

So the question, whatever you go back or forward or wherever you go in time, it's only been a few times. I mean, I've maybe overstated it. Oh, okay. See, it's happened a couple of times.

Okay. But do you do you like mistime here or do you come back exactly? Like, is it like a like a snap thing or? I've had both happened depends on how many waves you make in the time stream and whatnot.

You know, you know, interesting. Could you go back in time and kill your own grandfather? You want to know? I never tried.

Never thought of it. Never had inclination. Sorry to disappoint. Have you ever seen a really big blue box?

What? You know, one that's bigger on the inside. I mean, no, I don't. Regga.

I don't understand this reference. Yeah, I don't get. I don't get. I don't get.

It makes very iconic. Like who should like wing noise. No idea. Okay.

All right. Well, all right. Like, not enough. Yes.

Exactly like that. Sound was like some nerd shit. A little bit. Yeah.

I ain't that too much for the nerd shit and I spit a big thing at chew into back on the ground. She spits as well. Hey, do we hit this? Do we hit the same spot?

She spits as you spit and you spit collides and air and slow motion. And it makes this platoon sound. So on the ground. I look at her and see if our eyes catch she glances over and she tips her hat and keeps on riding.

That's what we'll be there momentarily. Hold on to your tushies and she rides a little bit faster than your horses follow. We're going to cut back to Greg in the town. What do you up to Greg?

Well, I wanted to go visit that barn and guy by thinking it was too late when I was going to go the first time. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

So I'm going to wait, you know, appropriate amount of time. Okay. Maybe wait till I think he's like in his head course, you know, like in his office. Like office.

Check and the town and see if I can't get a meeting with that guy. Yeah. You're able to get me. He's just doing paperwork and come money.

Old-timey style. Oh, all right. Just counted up. Yeah.

Yep. Making sure the books are even. Well, I go in there and introduce myself. Hey, hey, Mr.

Barnaby. How you doing? I'm doing all right. I'm not too bad.

Hey, uh, I hear you. You're a pretty shoot businessman around this town. Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. Got a lot of irons in the fire as they say, right? Oh, yeah. I'm not sure how long I'm going to be, uh, you know, located in this town.

But I think I need to get some things going and figure maybe I could offer you some. Oh, by the way, hey, you got your little, uh, welcome gift. I give them the bottle. I bought him an emcegaursic.

I told me it was his favorite. See, he's a little talk of my appreciation of taking your time to talk to me. He kind of eyes the gift and eyes of you and eyes of you. And I was just you trying to put me in a little bit, you know, how it goes, right?

I like it. Yeah. I like it. Yeah.

I like it. Yeah. I'm just trying to be, you know, civil, neighborly friendly. You know, it goes fair enough.

What will you need? Well, uh, think about maybe a natural home be around, you know, but I think it's a set up shop around the business. I probably have a few irons in my fire that can help you out. You know, one hand was the other kind of thing about it.

If you got any, uh, office space, I don't want to touch another man's iron. I got you. I was making a little play on words there. Oh, I see.

Yeah. I didn't know. All right. Fair enough.

So it's wondering if, uh, you know, you got a space in one of your buildings or something like a possibly set up shop and then, uh, yeah, sure. I do a little bit of office space, maybe a little warehouse space, the kind of thing, you know, so you're just trying to set up like, like a open space in a building. Yeah. You're able to come to a reasonable agreement for an open space.

All right. I let him know if he needs anything. I'm currently thinking about specializing or going back into a specialty of mine. It's a basically assess in accuracies and inconsistencies in, in industry.

So you need anything along those lines. You just come see me and be glad to help you out there. All right. All right.

We'll do zero round. All right. Talk to you soon, bud. Bye.

Bye. Okay. Uh, are you going anywhere else after that? Yeah, I'm going to go check out the space.

All right. I'm going to go check this building or it's over next to the general store. Okay. I'm going to check that out.

See, uh, it's a good space. Yeah. Is there any equipment with anything like that? Or chairs or anything?

No, really. This is empty vacant space. Yeah, just a vacant space. I'll make the warehouse space big enough.

I heard my concern. Right. I need a space big enough for Vin. Okay.

Yeah, you can fit in. Okay. That's all I was really worried about. It's like an area for a couple of horses.

You could probably figure trucking there. All right. And a horse. Okay.

We could fit a horse in the back of the trucks. Oh, yeah. Okay. All right.

You have to like double it. It would be kind of Russian. You have to take the horse and put it in the truck and put the truck in the barn. Okay.

Is there like a like a hitch in post outside then? Yeah. All right. If I ever get a horse, I just use a hitch in post.

I was going through all that rig and roll. You were talking about Russian nest and dollar in the back, right? Right. But I'm going to kind of move a few things around, get this place set up for like personal touch, you know, right?

And then go from there. Okay. So you are doing that back to the crew. You crest over a couple of hills until you reach kind of like a cliff face and share of zands, stops her stops.

Toshi and all your horses stop as well. She looks at you all. She looks out over the hills and in the distance you see like a couple of rolling hills on one hill. That's very large in particular.

And she's like, I think he stationed out over that way off in the distance, but I can't say we're from town for too long. Danger always seems to spring its head. So this is about as far as I can take you. So the big hill or believe in these there.

Yeah, you're like the most active activity for him is around this area and nobody entered these rolling hills over here. Too much and comes out alive. Sounds like fun. So if you're looking to collect this bounty, that's the direction y'all should be heading.

Might I ask what typically draws him out? Night time travelers. He likes to hit stage coaches. You know, general bandit banditry him and his crew.

So if you wipe out him and his crew, I don't know how many they got. But like I said, his gang seems to be everywhere. Well, sure. If you much appreciate you taking us out this far.

I appreciate you taking this bounty. I hope you come back and I don't have to pull pull the feelings out of your teeth to pay your debt for these horses that I got you. You too. That would be bad.

Yeah, it was happened before. Actually, I have this like clear feeling to put over my teeth. It's not actually gold anymore. Oh, yeah.

Well, I think we've been done some sort of polymer. So I don't know if you can figure out something, not a problem. Sure. So was anything else you need for me?

Do you know if he has any weaknesses? Not not big. I mean, weaknesses. Yeah, I mean, a bullet.

I'm sure if you can hit him, but he's a pretty good shooter. Does anyone of us actually have a gun? I mean, oops, the weaknesses of like any any old bandit. He's just a bandit.

He just seems to be everywhere. I can't seem to get rid of him. He's smart and he knows tactics and his gangs, all of them. So his name is Stampede does his so he doesn't have any like abilities of strange things going on or meta.

Not a not that I know. I mean, no one's ever been able to get close to to assess the situation. Okay. Just know that he's got a big old large gang and they seem to be all around these parts.

Oh, sure. I think all of us actually forgot our guns. Do you have one that we could maybe borrow? We just need one for the group.

We'll kind of share it. You're going to share good. Well, probably like all shoot once and I'll toss the gun over to my robot friend. He'll shoot better than I will because, you know, computers and whatnot.

I'm not sure how to work. I'm pretty high in the skillship in shoot. All right. So that's the plane you're going to share.

Well, I got I got she like she looks around one of her bags. I got one spare six shoot. She did. She handed over to you.

Do you have any do you have any more bullets or are we only going to get six? I got one really got 12 bullets. We got six shots and then got a reloader. Oh boy.

That's what I got. Sorry. All the help we can get. Much appreciated.

No problem. It's a good thing we have somebody with a really high shoot in our. Wait a minute. Who would that be now?

She left. Remember? I know she's gone. She drowned.

Well, I'm going to head back to town. I hope to see you all alive. Thanks. Take care.

Bye bye. Chef Janzahn. She turns her down so around and starts running back to town. Oh my god.

That accent was atrocious. It actually was so hard to maintain. What? Why do you even attempt to do that?

I'm blending in draft. But you already look like you belong in this century. Why did you also hear her accent? Like she was also just not really in the time.

So I mean, I don't know sort of scams. I'm going to be pulling back here. I think we're going to like probably start a company, right? Or invest in a lot of things, right?

Before we go, huh? We're going to call it macro hard. Hmm. Like we're doing that.

We're obviously killing this guy. And then so we can go back in time, but not before investing, right? We're all on board. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm on board with this clan. Can we cut over to what's going on with Robos horse while this blending end conversation is going on? Well, why? What's happening with Robos horse?

Like how's it doing? Because you're having a robot riding a horse. Is that what your question is? Yeah, like I'm like a car, right?

Have you put it to your card form or are you just? I thought you were. No, I'm just heavy. I'm just a heavy robot.

Right. It's a it's struggling, but I mean, it's keeping up. It's a strong breed. It's a draft horse.

This is a quiet fuzzy foot of clients. So he's fucking for hers. Nor is it terrifying. Yeah.

All right. So what are you guys doing now? I guess we got to go to the Hill. Do we want to try and do we want to try and wait until nighttime to see if he pops out of a place and jump him on his way out?

Or we could sneak up on him during the day and just kill him while he's asleep, I'm assuming. We figured that there's probably going to be gods or something. So we killed him too. Did something change while I was gone for about a month?

You guys never used to sneak. We always said we were and then we just kind of show this and I'm doing the pot where I'm saying that we're going to sneak and then we show up and kill everyone. Yes. Okay.

I just wanted to make sure so I can do this if I were the gun on the air. Well, they're one of our 12 bullets. The fire rigs out over the hills. So everything according to plan.

I mean, sure. Yeah, sure. You want to set up some sort of trap, not that any of us know how to set up a trap. Well, I could become a stage coach and we could put a bomb in me.

Do we have a we should have seen a share saying that bomb doesn't rub a little shit before. I guess I do have a skill that I can use fake points for that. Yeah. Seems really unsanitary.

You're on poop back in you. We just have to pack it with rocks. Give you each a piece of it. Just don't throw it at us.

When I become the stage coach, I can't mount it on myself. So I'm going to need your help. So probably become the stage coast. Is it just like all metal?

Is it still like? Yeah, it's a giant crow ass stage coach with a giant gorilla face on the front of it. And no horses to pull it. Except for our own.

Yeah, we have four horses. You can pull it away. There we go. Is that is that your plan?

Look, Alex, you seem so disappointed in us. I'm just wondering if that's if this is the direction you're going, if that's the is the executable. You're yes. It's all up to our manager.

What plan we get with. I'm just trying to contribute here. And I appreciate that. I'm just saying we're looking for you to you for leadership.

Well, one of their ideas we got come on think tank. I mean, I like the idea of blowing you to tiny little bits. All right. So what's the what's the action?

Who does the action? What are the actions that are done? Okay. Well, I guess I'm going to take the lead on this one.

Go ahead and start collecting rocks and some cactus pieces. My God. All right. So so robot, you're turning into a stage coach is what you're doing.

Yeah. Okay. That's what boss told us to do. Sure.

Sure thing. Okay. I'm waiting until I'm in the stage coach form to start shitting the C4. So I'm a stage coach with a monkey face, shedding C4.

Okay. All right. You you you plop out a bunch of C4. I don't mind handling the C4 long stretchy hands.

I will gently place them from a safe distance into the back of the stage coach. They're just like, filling his innards with C4. Yeah, that came out of his innards previously. Okay.

All right. So you're filling your filling Robinobo with his own C4. Yeah. The C4 that he shipped out of his robot body.

Okay. And then I'm going to put those into a different cavity of his body. Okay. His C4 shit.

I knew that wasn't clear. And you're feeling that C4 with little bits of rocks and cacti. Don't forget. Yeah.

It's okay. The C4 in his mouth. Okay. We need a name for this.

Is this the German tumbleweed? Oh boy. Okay. So you feel you feel Robos stage coach with C4.

What do you do next? I'm going to ride shotgun with the with the gun that I will have reloaded. All right. So you're sitting on the stage coach.

What's everything else doing? I will hitch my horse to the front of the stage coach. Okay. Right.

So now. So now I've dropped his riding the one horse that's attached to the stage coach. I'm just eating. All right.

Attaching more horses to the stage coach. Okay. So you attach the rest of the horses to stage coach. Where are you going near near this hill?

Where are the big? Towards the big. Like, well, maybe I'm riding a horse or a guy in stage coach. Are you going by foot riding on the stage coach?

Okay. So there's two. Oh, this is the scene. It's a giant chrome stage coach with a monkey face.

Two people are riding on top of it. So look at artists who looks like a cowboy and this is just a look like a devil. And then on the four horses that are pulling the stage coach is a girl on a blue blast. Yep.

This needs will turn into a like one of the old baritras family from back when. Okay. All right. So there's two Cowboys riding a monkey stage coach and then just a girl on a blue shirt, riding one of the horses.

Yep. Yeah. Don't make a gun either. Yeah.

You have 11 bullets. Yes. 11 bullets. All right.

So where are you writing to? So we don't like right at the thing, but like parallel, like we're traveling. It's like, Oh, we're traveling. La de da de da.

So you're going to try to travel towards the big hill. Not towards it. We can't look too obvious. Yeah.

Yeah. I think we're going like. At an angle. You're trying to go past it.

Kind of. Yeah. Like we're going to try to skirt around it. Like a 35 degree angle.

Yeah. Just screaming like screaming. Oh, we have so much precious material on board. I hope that we don't get banditized.

That's a little too obvious. The okay. This is the worst disguise ever. Right.

So what are you talking about? Two, less a couple of ways. We have a chrome stage coach. And you're shouting how much money you have out loud.

We're playing the aqua song barbie girl. It's raining across the desert. All right. So yeah, so you're you're traveling.

It takes a little while because the stage coaches a little more on. We leave in four people and horses, but you are traveling in that direction. Are you waiting till night or you just going right away? Just going.

Yeah. I figured we could go and then at night we can sort of double back. It's easier for the suit than to see the chrome in the daytime. So it's very true.

Okay. So the sunshine is just shining directly off of the chrome. It's hard to see anything. It's all hot.

It's real. It's a real fucking mess. But you're doing that. You're driving towards past the big hill.

All right. We're going to come back into town. Greg, you're you're you're finishing up setting up your thing. It's setting up pretty good.

Yeah, I'm I'm really kind of concerned. I want to go. I got to explore the possibility getting in back here. Maybe these guys read, you know, we left it out there.

Right. It was limping its way along by itself. But you have to go back here as quick as possible. You have to come back.

So it's probably headed on its way back now. All right. How far are you figured it out? You know, are you going to go check?

I'd like to. Okay. We'll bring your timers right out there with me. Right.

So grab some ropes, some hitch and type stuff. You're able to find it pretty fast. It's pretty much heading into town when you're when you're heading out, okay. And it's got the RV behind it.

Everything's still coming along though. No, no, hitches in the giddy ups, you know, no, it's it charged up when the sun rose and it hitched up the RV in the zone into town. All right. Well, I hop into Vin.

I'll see if he powers up at all his you know, he's got he's got some power. He's still not optimal, but he's got power. All right. Well, I'm figuring his his net's not going to work because I figure there's why check maybe there's like there's no other stuff.

No, yeah, but he's got the backups at least. Right. So what do you figure is ETA him doing this plan back to town here? He'll be in the town with an hour.

Okay, I put the coordinates in for the building that I just got, right? And then, so he can get right to the backside there. Okay. And then I just giddy up with this guy, head back and just wait it out then.

All right. So you waited out and then approaches sick and sound. All right. I figure at this point, I kind of forgot my mind when I was getting this place that their rig was with me, you know?

So I, I, I back their rig into the building. Okay. And kind of hide that secure that. Is there room for Vin too?

Sure. Okay. Get him in there too. Because I figured we could speak to us around here with this.

It don't look like the other things these guys are writing for sure. So yeah, hide that up, secure it real good. Uh, I think I probably got to go, uh, let's strike up a conversation on town with somebody who knows about, you know, this whole power thing. It's not a place though.

Uh, the interest me. Everyone kind of refers you to, uh, share of the Xayen. Okay. I'm going to head down to the courthouse and jail.

Okay. To jail. See if they're there. All right.

We will get back to that in a moment. All right. So, um, you're, you're traveling around. Um, and then you hear gunshots coming in your direction.

You flip flip flip flip. I think we found them or they found us. It's cool. Those aren't mine.

Does anybody know how to use this? No. No, no. And you see, um, from the hills, a bunch of, uh, kind of heads popping up with like rifles shooting a flip flip flip.

Uh, do we should probably act like we surrender, right? And then we just blow them up. Uh, no, no, we got to play a cool. We got to get the leader inside of me.

We're going to get in the cage stage coach before we detonate. How are we going to convince him to walk inside of you? They're just going to want to kill us anyway. That's where the lock box in the stage coach will be.

All right. So who's driving? I guess we'll be misdeeds. Yep.

All right. Make a drive roll zero. The Roman elbow gets pinged for three. Oh, uh, maybe we should get rid of these guys first and then make that, we'll make the boss come.
