SPEAKER_05 0:30

I'm excited. Okay. All right. Hello. And welcome to the Royal Highness podcast, where sometimes, well, actually we prefer to watch George Rebel Rebel Martin Chuos for the first time while we're enhanced with cannabis products. And then we talk about it while we're still enhanced with cannabis products. Um, and we did do the entirety uh so far of all of the George Rebel Rebel Martin shows, um, including Knight of Seven Kingdoms. If you haven't listened to that, go back and listen to those because those were. It was gone. It was very good. It was a lot of fun. And now we're back to The Last Kingdom on Netflix. Uh, so we can talk about that instead of how the world is burning. Hi, Spencer. Hi, Aileen. How are you doing? Hey, you know. Okay, so The Last Kingdom season four, episode six, titled Episode six.

unknown 1:34

Correct.

SPEAKER_05 1:35

Netflix says Erd, who I call bro through most of this because I can never remember his name.

SPEAKER_09 1:42

Oh, that's great. It used to be Ass Licker, but bro is so much more succinct.

SPEAKER_05 1:46

Yeah, because he's the brother of Edith, who I like.

SPEAKER_09 1:48

So Yeah, she's alright.

SPEAKER_05 1:50

Yeah. Okay. Erdvoof and we call her Edith. Oh my god, ate it. I realized the other day my husband and I have uh Archie and Edith's chairs. Okay. Netflix says, Erdvilf and his men pursue Utrud's party as it flees through a countryside ravaged by disease. Undisclosed disease.

SPEAKER_09 2:17

Unspecified non-plague disease.

SPEAKER_05 2:20

Correct. Tensions rise between Edward and the Mercians. Who uh was the band that played at uh my prom in 1984?

SPEAKER_09 2:29

Edward and the Mercians? Yes, Edward and the Mercians.

SPEAKER_05 2:33

They were a they were a ska band.

SPEAKER_09 2:36

Surely that's just Herman Termitz, isn't that? I mean Edward and the Mercians?

SPEAKER_10 2:42

Did they not do the song Ferry Across the Mersey?

SPEAKER_05 2:46

Uh no, they did do the one, ooh, that's a lot of bodies in the water.

SPEAKER_09 2:52

It's dead body soup.

SPEAKER_07 2:55

It's a surf tune.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

T M T M T M.

SPEAKER_05 3:07

This is not a visual medium. Okay. We are again promised violence, nudity, language, and core, which is a different order than it usually is. Because when I went back to my original notes, it was gore, language, nudity, and violence, which leads me to believe that are they now putting it like ingredients? So the the higher it is on the list, the more there is of it.

SPEAKER_09 3:32

Well, that's clearly bullshit because there was no nudity whatever.

SPEAKER_05 3:35

There was no violence really either.

SPEAKER_09 3:38

Uh not really. I mean, there was a mercy kill.

SPEAKER_05 3:42

There well, there was some gore. Okay, there was the guys on okay, anyway. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 3:47

Um I was like, oh, I'll have to go back and also mention that the Last Kingdom wiki says they always do appearances at the end of each page for the episode. It says first, and it shows a bunch of people, and then it says deaths. Hundreds due to sickness that's sweeping the land. Like, okay, well, names, please. People are doing you're not put you're not pulling your weight.

unknown 4:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 4:12

Okay, so because we've had a big gap in between episode five and episode six, uh, we'll do a little overall recap here in case everybody's following us, you know, as we're releasing. So it's just so you remember, he is Utred, son of Utrid, father of Utrid.

SPEAKER_02 4:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 4:34

And probably a lot more kids. We haven't really kept up with all of them because time jumps in big old slabs in these stories. Uh Wiggy's got baby monks on, and and and the other what's what's her name again?

SPEAKER_09 4:51

Who who?

SPEAKER_05 4:52

His daughter.

SPEAKER_09 4:53

Stiora.

SPEAKER_05 4:54

The one who's fed up with having to watch the sick.

SPEAKER_09 4:57

Yes, that's Stiora. She was spending time uh watching over Ethelstan and Aylfwin, who are Edward's children.

SPEAKER_05 5:11

Right. Yes.

SPEAKER_09 5:12

One of them is Edward's children, his first his bastard child, and then the other one is Lady Aylthelfland's daughter.

SPEAKER_10 5:23

Right, with with the uh Eric the Viking, right?

SPEAKER_09 5:27

Um, well, yes, but ostensibly he was also with Ethelred, uh or Ethelred's ch child, but we all think it was Eric's Okay, because he's a redhead. Uh well, yeah, and uh we are okay, so his party is Utrid, Utrid, Osforth Finnin, Citric, the two children, Stiora who's a little bit older, and later on, Eat it.

SPEAKER_05 5:54

Eat it. Okay, that's who's all on the road to Chesta.

SPEAKER_09 6:00

It's a big final Phartacy panty. Right. As you put it.

SPEAKER_05 6:05

But we have to okay, we're still catching up with Utrid. So okay, he was born a Saxon, heir to Bed Bath Beyond. He was kidnapped by Danes who raised him as a Dane.

SPEAKER_10 6:14

I could um I could I think we could skip like that. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_09 6:21

So forward to where we were in season four.

SPEAKER_05 6:24

Okay, so Utred keeps getting himself in and out of all kinds of shenanigans, and right now Ethelred is dead. C Nut is dead.

unknown 6:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:35

Breeda wanted to be dead, but Oot couldn't do it. Yeah. Uh Fled has Oot take her daughter away so she does get married off to uh Destiny's All. Okay, I've kind of missed a good theme song. To be fair, I still do.

unknown 7:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 7:03

You know, as much as we kinda made a lot of a noise about the musical choices in game of Game of Seven Dragons or whatever the fuck.

SPEAKER_10 7:14

Whoa! A knight of the seven uh throne dragons. A knight of the a knight of the house of thrones.

SPEAKER_05 7:24

Ooh, game of game of dragon night. Alright, so we cut to the back of the little house on the prairie wagon. The little girl who's gonna get married to Bro is crying, and Oot's kids are done with it.

SPEAKER_09 7:41

And so she's grumpy on the wagon, and Stora is like, hey, quit being grumpy.

SPEAKER_05 7:51

And then then there's a rider that comes up behind him and it's Aid It. It ate it. And she's like, Oh Flood wants you to meet her at the priory of St. What's his bucket? St.

SPEAKER_10 8:06

St. Milberg's, yeah. St. Milbert? Milberg.

SPEAKER_05 8:11

Milberg, sure.

SPEAKER_10 8:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_09 8:12

I don't know what that means. And I couldn't.

SPEAKER_05 8:14

Who's got his bones? Huh? Hmm? He's so fancy. He's got his own priory. This is who's got his bones, huh?

SPEAKER_09 8:20

His priory was literally a ring of marble stone in the ground. That's true. It was not very impressive.

SPEAKER_05 8:25

There was a big cross. There was a there was a building.

SPEAKER_09 8:28

Was there a building?

SPEAKER_05 8:29

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_09 8:31

Maybe I was looking at something else.

SPEAKER_05 8:33

Because it said, Oh, you'll be able to see the cross soon. Was there just a big cross by the circle of stones? Oh. Mike's nodding. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 8:42

Well, it was jacked. Anyway, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 8:45

Yeah, it was unimpressive. It's like one of those tourist traps where you drive an extra three miles and you go, God dang, it's just a ring of stones. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_10 8:51

Oh man, they built the floors crooked. It's not a gravity spot. You people are fucking dumb. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05 8:57

Okay. So he's like, why should I believe you? And aren't you, wasn't it you and your brother who tried to like take over everything? And she's like, Yeah, but uh, he's a jerk, so I don't like him anymore. And he's like, Okay, well, you can't just go off all by yourself. She's like, sure, I can. I can go. I'm fine. I'm fine. He's like, Well, you can come with us. She's like, No, no, no, I'm good.

SPEAKER_09 9:23

Uh I got family in France.

SPEAKER_04 9:27

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

unknown 9:29

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 9:29

Well, are you good with kids?

SPEAKER_09 9:32

No.

SPEAKER_05 9:32

Neither are we. Come with us.

SPEAKER_09 9:34

So, so she does. And that's utter bullshit because she ends up being very good with the children. At least as far as we see throughout the episode. Except for that one point, she's like, hey, hey, Wynn is sick. Well, what do you want me to do? What should I do? Tell her to calm down. That's good. I'm gonna do that when my kids get sick.

SPEAKER_05 10:00

Calm down. Kids love it when you tell them to calm down, especially teenagers. Uh, you should definitely try that.

SPEAKER_09 10:08

Yeah. Also, I think for the remainder of our series, I am going to use Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice to represent Utrid. Because I cannot copy his accent. He doesn't Utred, son of Utrid. That's fun.

SPEAKER_05 10:25

He convinces everybody to go back to Wenloca. He's like, we all gotta go. They're like, what there's just people cut to Edward having a fit at Red's funeral.

SPEAKER_09 10:39

Yeah. Well, a very calm fit. He's he's trying very hard not to let everyone know that the shit's gone completely tits up. And he wants to make sure that everyone around him keeps that face going. Especially bro. Right.

SPEAKER_05 11:01

In the background of the scene.

SPEAKER_09 11:05

Did I miss something?

SPEAKER_05 11:07

People are filing past Ethelred. Like, you know, at the end of a soccer game when you have to like, you know, do the hit. You just do it really fast and you just not really paying attention. You just go. They're just like walking around.

SPEAKER_09 11:21

Good game, bro. Good game, bro. Good game, bro. Good game, bro.

SPEAKER_05 11:26

Walking fast, like us leaving church right after communion.

SPEAKER_09 11:30

You don't come back to the pews. That's for suckers. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 11:42

What's going on?

SPEAKER_09 11:44

Well, the eldermen are like the eldermen are going, hey, this king kind of sucks at being king. Yeah. And currently, since there's a power vacuum, one of us has to be Mr. in charge guy. And if you remember, the the deal was that on his deathbed, Ethelred betrothed Elfwin to Erdwolf. Right. But that was made a yuppie, and no one agrees. Specifically, well, Ethelred himself didn't agree, and that's why bro killed him.

SPEAKER_10 12:18

And remember he just mushed his head? He mushed his head. Well, his head was already mushed. He just ignore it like I think he just squeezed his head. He had a balor. He had a balor wound.

unknown 12:30

A what?

SPEAKER_09 12:31

He had Baylor Targaryen's head wound, but it was on the top. So he just went on his brain with the pss. Yeah. And I took his ring, which becomes a plot point later. Fuckers. Why would he do that? Because people who commit crimes carry the evidence of their misdeeds with them.

SPEAKER_05 12:53

Do you think he was gonna say that he gave him the ring and told him to marry Athel? What's her name?

SPEAKER_09 13:00

I don't know what would possess him to do that because it's clear that Ethelred would never do that. We know his character well enough to realize he's not that way. And why would he suddenly on his deathbed go, You're such a pal, bro? Here's my ring-dig ding. Also, get hitched with my kid. It'll be swell. None of that happened. None of that happened.

SPEAKER_05 13:24

Beethelred he could claim it did because he didn't think anybody saw.

SPEAKER_09 13:28

Well, I don't know. But Edith was standing by the by the by the lattice work there, you see.

SPEAKER_05 13:34

She was like lattice work that separated your dining room from your living room. Just a little panel of it, though.

SPEAKER_09 13:43

And you'd have some uh some for some reason on the this on the Enterprise so that a little bit of light could shine through on Kirk's eyes.

SPEAKER_05 13:51

Uh, you know, just like that.

SPEAKER_09 13:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 13:55

It's those were magical moments, really, cinematically. Spock. Anyway, then they find out that Fled has fled. And that Edith helped their escape.

SPEAKER_09 14:10

Yeah. The man who guards you uh has sent for for me to rescue you. Oh yeah. The man who guards, I guess that's Utrid. No one really said it could be. Was it Eldhelm? Or was it was it him? Who did it? Who Aldhelm got her free.

SPEAKER_08 14:27

Yeah, it was Bullcutt.

SPEAKER_09 14:28

Bullcut. Bullcut, yes. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_05 14:31

Edith and him helped her get free. So then uh they don't they they they basically decide they're better off not making a fuss and just getting the fugitives back before anybody notices they're gone.

SPEAKER_09 14:42

Yeah. Just uh hey everybody, really sneaky like go on and get well Edward sends someone called Senrich to track Utred down, not uh Bro. Because Bro is supposedly in charge of like the King's Guard, basically. And they don't want to stir up shit by having him go after uh anyone. Right.

SPEAKER_05 15:07

Because if he goes, if he leaves, it's gonna make people are gonna notice. But he doesn't cut to the road to Chester, yeah. And they're arguing over who gets the good bread, and then they come across three very stabibid this is the gore.

SPEAKER_09 15:25

Well, this is this yeah. Well, they're talking about the bread, and then some people just run and steal the bread out of the children's hands. And then we see the spiky people and one is still squirming.

SPEAKER_05 15:41

That guy was runny, he was still Are we to believe? Okay, so these people who were impaled, that's the only way to put it, yeah, impaled on spikes in the middle of the road, had the sickness, and so they were put there as a warning to people coming down the road not to go this way. But fuck, put some dead guys on there. Don't put a live guy on there.

SPEAKER_09 16:08

I wonder if they didn't realize he wasn't all the way dead.

SPEAKER_05 16:13

That they didn't know he wasn't all the way dead?

SPEAKER_09 16:15

Yeah, they was like, oh, he's pretty well, maybe still runny, but maybe that's just a he s he died recently, so we'll put him on there. But they didn't realize he was still alive, and also, Mike, that he was mostly dead. Mostly dead. Well, that's not what I was uh you can't see. I was giving you a cue to play that sound clip.

SPEAKER_02 16:34

Get up, you're mucking down with the sickness! Get up, you're mucking down with the sickness.

SPEAKER_09 16:40

That's what was wrong with them.

SPEAKER_05 16:42

He was down with the sickness. They were all down.

SPEAKER_09 16:44

And what's funny is that he didn't make a noise as they approached him. It was He did go. He kind of did.

SPEAKER_05 16:58

It's very close.

SPEAKER_09 16:59

And then uh Citric puts him out of his misery. And there's people also who with the bread stealers are like, don't go this way, there's sickness in the air. And uh young Richard's like, Don't worry, it only takes sinners. And I'm like, reminded 2020.

SPEAKER_05 17:16

But there's no way to prove or disprove that. So I'm gonna choose to believe it.

SPEAKER_09 17:25

Finn's like, we gotta go back.

SPEAKER_05 17:27

Finn says we have to kill the horses. We have to like burn everything. He's freaking out because he's seeing people die of this thing. So Ud convinces them that they're gonna go to this place to meet up with uh fled, but they're gonna have to go on foot.

SPEAKER_09 17:47

Yeah, because the horses, I guess, are susceptible to this.

SPEAKER_05 17:52

I don't know. I think it's just because they can move more stealthiest television without the horses.

SPEAKER_09 17:58

This is a period of time where people thought that miasma spread disease.

SPEAKER_05 18:02

True.

SPEAKER_09 18:03

So they're worried the air itself is bad, and is going to affect their humors. Yeah. And so they hot okay, this is where I have the first major question of our program today. How does one hide safely in the middle of nowhere England six horses? Where do you just put horses in a cart where it's like no one will see these? I'm so glad you asked. Do you have an answer?

SPEAKER_05 18:36

Do they just build like Of course I do? How do you hide horses in the middle of England? Well, see what you do is you uh put a bunch of sticks on them and branches, and as they move about, the people just think, I don't remember that bush being there.

SPEAKER_09 18:57

So you're saying you camouflage all six horses as a shrub? As shrubs, correct. And then they just move about going and doing horsey things, occasionally.

SPEAKER_05 19:07

But they just look like a bush.

SPEAKER_09 19:08

How often have you seen a shrub bend over and drink from a stream? That thing that horses do where they just kind of go shake wickering where they shake their whole head and neck. Do shrubs do that?

SPEAKER_08 19:20

Uh the shaking shrubs do. What are the odds that someone's gonna be looking at them when they do that? Let's let's talk to Tim the shrubber. Our times where a shrubber cannot get business. No, I just said put them up in the trees because you can't see the horses in the trees. Well, who would expect that? I mean, they just have you ever seen a horse in a tree? That's how good they are at hiding.

SPEAKER_09 19:43

Well, I've also never seen a purple cow. I never hoped to be one, but I can tell you this right now, I'd rather see them be one.

SPEAKER_05 19:49

Maybe they did that thing. Maybe they like when you want to keep your food away from bears when you go camping, how you just hoist them up into a tree.

SPEAKER_10 19:58

So they just hung them there by the midsection.

SPEAKER_05 20:03

They use blankets, right?

SPEAKER_10 20:04

Under the bellies, hoisting them up next to a bale of hay. Or maybe there's like nearby hide a horse.

SPEAKER_05 20:13

Oh, hide a horse. You know, you you never there's never one of those around when you need one.

SPEAKER_09 20:19

It's it's like it's uh you know, like a storage unit. Like you have three or four storage buildings on the side of a highway, and there's just 40 stalls in a building, and you just go and you're like, it's 30 bucks, hold these horses, and they're like, here's the key for unit six. Just park your horses. Actually, we're gonna need two because we have a wagon as well. That goes to seven.

SPEAKER_05 20:47

That's true. The conostoga, apparently.

SPEAKER_09 20:50

Yeah, it's kind of a mini one. Fresh off the Oregon Trail. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 20:55

Um, Fled is arriving at the Ring of Stones with the cross at it. Yes. And she's with Bull Cut, and she's like, he's not here. I don't know what to do. And he's like, dude'll be here. You know, Oot. He'll be here with the kids.

SPEAKER_09 21:16

Dude's never failed you.

SPEAKER_05 21:17

And then she's like, you know, um, I can't save you if they accuse you of trees. So just so you know.

SPEAKER_10 21:31

So just be aware of the fact that your death warrant has been signed. Pretty much.

SPEAKER_05 21:36

Just by helping me. It should have been signed when you got that bowl cut. But although I kind of look like I have a bowl cut right now. No, you don't.

SPEAKER_09 21:50

I'm bald. I don't have a business talking about hair. Back in Mercia. Erdwolf uh is like all up in this guy, it's Burgred. He's up in his grill. Am I wrong here?

SPEAKER_05 22:09

So Berg. He's like, my kid's gonna be king.

SPEAKER_06 22:14

It's like no, my kid's gonna be king. So fucking stupid.

SPEAKER_09 22:19

Yeah, this is a bunch of dick measuring.

SPEAKER_05 22:22

Was the kid later on when he confronts uh bro, right? His kid, he he like sidles up to bro. We'll get we'll get there. Okay, hang on. Because the kid again, I don't want to get married. Had that big energy.

SPEAKER_10 22:43

You're married, Princess Lookie. And you never get used to the idea.

SPEAKER_05 22:49

So then a bunch of folks are coming into the Renfair.

SPEAKER_09 22:53

They're all bad.

SPEAKER_05 22:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 22:58

Lord, there's a sickness spreading through Mercia. Right. Can you describe it? Bad.

SPEAKER_05 23:04

Yeah, it's a lot of people. And they're they're arguing over whether to close the gates or not. I'm sitting there going, close the gates, close the gates, close the gates. Because I'm a selfish bitch.

SPEAKER_09 23:16

I understand what Perleg was saying. Like, we cannot close, you cannot refuse help to the sick. That's not fair. Burgard agrees with that. But Dr. Mr. House is there and he's like, Oh, well, I agree with Mr. Bold Boogerbutt over here. I can't remember his name.

SPEAKER_10 23:37

I'm dying because you said bruh brub. That is his name, actually, what you just did there.

SPEAKER_09 23:43

Yeah. And um, so Edward shuts the gates. And Charlie's just gone, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_05 23:49

What the fuck? Did you notice there was a last-minute baby that got through?

SPEAKER_09 23:54

Did the baby squeak? I didn't I didn't notice. I was too busy watching, like, as the doors were closing, are they gonna show an arm get trapped?

SPEAKER_05 24:02

So I was pretty sure it was one of those things where like the mom threw the baby over the guard's arm.

SPEAKER_04 24:11

And then caught it, then ducked under the arm and caught the baby on the other side.

SPEAKER_09 24:16

She did the Statue of Liberty with her baby?

SPEAKER_04 24:18

I think so.

SPEAKER_09 24:22

That's pretty great.

SPEAKER_04 24:23

They should work that in.

SPEAKER_09 24:27

That is some top-tier, you know, fourth down and goal-to-go bullshit from uh from random Mercian woman. That's good stuff.

SPEAKER_05 24:39

And she goes and tosses the baby over the arm. She goes, What is the arm? Catches the baby on the other side. It's good! Watch down, Mercia. Oh, we're back in Winchester and Lady Ellsworth.

SPEAKER_09 24:51

We should also mention that Bro has taken 12 men and escaped to find everyone. Whoever he finds, I guess.

SPEAKER_05 24:58

So now there's two search parties out, right?

SPEAKER_09 25:00

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 25:02

Back in Winchester, Lady Ellsworth is gone.

SPEAKER_09 25:05

Yeah. The queen, such as she is, is just stomping around. Who did this? Meanwhile, mom on a horse, placidly smiling as she rides slowly away from Winchester. Hey, look at me. I'm on a horse. Isn't that positive and droll? Ugh. I didn't miss her.

SPEAKER_05 25:33

In the meantime, the kids and Oot are walking through a creek bed, and that's pretty fucking smart because that's down below the road. Nobody's gonna be watching down there. True. Right? Yeah. That's a lot of forest, though. They kind of do that drone where they pull up out of where they are, and I'm like, man, that is some thick, deep forest. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 25:55

There's a lot of area there.

SPEAKER_05 25:57

They're walking along and they hear a horse whinny. And they're like, oh shit.

SPEAKER_01 26:04

And this woman's like, the sickness is coming. You should go with the horse. Come along. Come along. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 26:14

Sorry. That's um Janita's. She wants to wait for Utrid and her kids. Oh, that's right. This is uh that's um successfully.

SPEAKER_09 26:29

They're waiting, right? And then this load of people who are all headed to the next Renfair come out, and their representative comes out and does what you just did.

SPEAKER_07 26:45

The sickness is about. Come with us if you want to live.

SPEAKER_05 26:49

This is what I talked about earlier. This pissed me off so much. Center yourself, Aline. Don't just go on a rager here.

SPEAKER_09 26:59

Look out.

SPEAKER_05 27:00

Ethelflaed and Bullcut are there for an afternoon and decide that he's not coming. And they're gonna go to Keist Chester, right?

SPEAKER_02 27:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 27:13

So they get on horseback and they gallop down the road. And as they pass by this clump of bushes, outcomes.

SPEAKER_04 27:25

You're telling me they didn't hear those whole fucking horses fucking 50 feet away. Give me a goddamn break. And all they had to do was look right. If they looked, if any of them, any of them looked right, they would have seen them.

SPEAKER_09 27:43

Yeah, I got it.

unknown 27:44

Hi.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

Utrud would have gone, oh god, there she goes right now.

SPEAKER_09 27:51

And they could have, wait, wait, hi, wow. And that never happened.

SPEAKER_05 27:58

That's so stupid. They couldn't make it like the kids come home, you know, later. No.

SPEAKER_09 28:04

Horses go by, they come out of the bushes. They could have had a title card that said literally 15 minutes later. Instead, it looked like moments look seconds. Look right. I they can't have a ton of traffic going that way.

SPEAKER_05 28:19

I'm gonna bet you Edward's little son, the little hijinx kid with the frogs and shit.

SPEAKER_09 28:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 28:26

He looked right.

SPEAKER_09 28:28

He probably went, dad go.

SPEAKER_10 28:29

Shut up, it's a scan. Nobody paid attention.

SPEAKER_07 28:33

I am no one. I am a creepy child. I will be king someday.

SPEAKER_09 28:41

Be quiet! You're not king now. We're going straight. I'm Utred, son of Utred, father of Utred.

SPEAKER_05 28:49

You know, she could have left a note. That's all I'm saying. Just leave a note. Went to Chester.

SPEAKER_09 28:58

Look what I found. Stapled too stapled. What's a staple, sir? So Herod Wolf says that when when the US people break off from his group because of the sickness, which people are down with. He says again, it only takes sinners. So he loses a few guys who clearly sinners.

SPEAKER_10 29:21

Oh fuck that goat the other day. I'm leaving.

SPEAKER_05 29:24

You know. We cut back to Oot and the kids, and they're walking through a field at dusk, I think it's supposed to be. And Finn and convinced that Elfwin is sick, right? And she does have a cough. I'm like, anyway, uh, they find a good tree hollow. I'm gonna say that's an excellent tree hollow. That would be delightful to sleep in. I'm guessing, however, having slept out of doors, there's some shit in there. Oh.

SPEAKER_09 30:00

And bugs. There's there's probably uh like animals living in that little hole.

SPEAKER_05 30:06

Because it's a nice little place to bed down. That's probably a nice little bear den.

SPEAKER_09 30:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 30:12

You know, Papa Bear wanders home.

SPEAKER_09 30:15

It would have been funny if they had gotten there and Finan was like, Lord, there's loads of bear shit everywhere. And you should just go, sweep it out, we're sleepy anyway.

SPEAKER_08 30:27

Uh, you know, I ain't afraid of bear shit.

SPEAKER_04 30:31

What?

SPEAKER_08 30:32

I'm not afraid of bear shit. Are there bears in England? Yes, yeah. In the wild? There's brown bears in England.

SPEAKER_06 30:39

Are there?

SPEAKER_08 30:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 30:42

Bears are everywhere.

SPEAKER_05 30:44

They have those crazy bears. The um, not the sun bears, spectacled bears.

SPEAKER_09 30:51

They wear glasses?

SPEAKER_05 30:52

No, but they're well, they have little they're they almost look like a panda. These things are like berserkers or something. I'm trying to think. They have some crazy bears.

SPEAKER_08 31:03

I'll look it up while you're talking. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 31:06

What if I already did? So you did? Brown bears are not native to the wild in England, having gone extinct 1500 to 3,000 years ago.

unknown 31:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_09 31:17

Having said that.

SPEAKER_05 31:19

Are there any bears?

SPEAKER_09 31:20

There are other wild bears in England. Their fossil record stops around the end of the medieval period. So there was bears while this was happening.

SPEAKER_05 31:30

You know why there's no more bears?

SPEAKER_09 31:32

They hunted them to extinction.

SPEAKER_05 31:34

Otrid. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 31:36

I killed all the bears.

SPEAKER_05 31:38

Uh, Edward's um idea uh to make sure that the sickness doesn't find them is to burn herbs in the fields.

SPEAKER_09 31:46

Yeah. Go smudge the entire country.

SPEAKER_05 31:49

Yep. Can we do that here? And this is where Edward finds out that uh this guy went to find Fled and the kids browted.

SPEAKER_09 31:59

And he's not happy. And then he tells Dr. Mr. House, maybe you should tell me better who to listen to, fuck nuts. Without calling him fuck nuts. There was some fuck nuts tone. He was physically fuck nuts.

SPEAKER_05 32:20

So there's a cut to uh uh see waking up and the guy this is Finn's famous line that Mike was saying, which was Ha to anybody, anybody uh shits water, you stay behind. Anyone who shits liquid will be left behind.

SPEAKER_09 32:39

Yeah, and and our little sick girl is looking sicker, and she's hallucinating a good time chasing a crow. I mean, she's got that weird vignette around her vision.

SPEAKER_08 32:54

She went all Bran the Broken following the crow. She did. And who has a better story than Bran the Goddamn Broken? Well, Elf Win the Sickness, clearly.

SPEAKER_09 33:04

WAA Even even eat it, the the the the lady of ill repute has a better story than Bran. Because at least she fucking does something.

SPEAKER_05 33:14

Bran's story is as exciting as his namesake.

SPEAKER_09 33:19

And you don't mean Brandon Stark. You mean Bran.

SPEAKER_05 33:22

No, I mean Bran.

SPEAKER_09 33:24

The husk of wheat. The muffin component.

SPEAKER_05 33:28

Yes.

SPEAKER_09 33:28

Yeah, that's what he is.

SPEAKER_05 33:30

He's a part of a paired with crazins. Two scoops. Alright. Uh I said, oh fuck, the little girl's dead, isn't she? Oh, she's not. She sees a crow, follows it. Oh, she sees uh airwolf shit. And then was she about to say something to him?

SPEAKER_09 33:49

I think she was about to say ah or something like that. Um I think she may have been about to shout or something, and then Uchud is like, no, be quiet with his hands. Don't do it. You wake him up, and then he'll roll at me. And uh that doesn't happen. And then they run.

SPEAKER_05 34:14

Yeah, they just run.

SPEAKER_09 34:17

And as we've experienced running in armor.

SPEAKER_10 34:25

They run for what seems like eight days.

SPEAKER_05 34:29

It's it's untenable, and here's why.

SPEAKER_10 34:33

It's warm.

SPEAKER_05 34:36

You can't run through fields like that either. You can't run through the woods. No, because you could twist your angle in a snake hole. Between tufts and holes and brambles and prickers. Random stone. Not to mention the ticks. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_08 35:00

No, I will say, as I was watching this scene, and I thought to myself, Eileen's gonna harp on the fact that they can't run through the woods. But to me, that area seemed like it was very well groomed and very much like next to like a golf course or something.

SPEAKER_09 35:14

Just yeah, there were paths way too clean. That was a really nice nature preserve or you know, campsite that they were running to. Yes, there are ticks in England.

SPEAKER_05 35:22

Oh there's ticks everywhere.

SPEAKER_09 35:26

Probably on you right now. Now you creeped out.

SPEAKER_05 35:31

I'm sorry. Okay, if it survived our Snow Mageddon, good on them.

SPEAKER_09 35:40

That'd be really great. Afterwards, you see the ticks sitting there having a cigarette. You guys wouldn't believe what I've been through. Fucking two feet of snow, man. I ain't biting people anymore. I just want to get the fuck out of here.

SPEAKER_05 35:55

All right. Cut to Tent City outside the gates of Agarlsberg. And Golsberg. Garglesburg.

SPEAKER_09 36:04

Oh, that's it right there, Garglesburg. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 36:07

Lady Wifey has arrived and she's telling, tell the elder man I'm here. Tell the elderman, tell Edward I'm here. And uh then we cut, we're we're cutting back then to panicked music with with Utrid and the kids running.

SPEAKER_06 36:26

Fucking uh sound music styles running through over the hills and shit.

SPEAKER_08 36:33

I said it was more it sounded more like bad 1970s Doctor Who background music.

SPEAKER_09 36:39

Oh well, some of us don't record a Doctor Who podcast, Mike. This is true.

SPEAKER_08 36:46

Some of us haven't even been invited to be a guest or a 1970s Saturday morning cartoon background mo music.

SPEAKER_03 36:56

Jinky nobody.

SPEAKER_05 37:01

Okay, so now we uh scoob and this whole time Utrud is carrying the sick girl.

SPEAKER_09 37:12

He is like over the shoulder through the woods. She's sick.

SPEAKER_06 37:18

They're trying to avoid the sickness, and they just keep carrying her around, passing her from person to person, sleeping right up next to her. What the fuck is happening?

SPEAKER_09 37:30

I guess they're not swimmers, so you know, whatever.

SPEAKER_05 37:35

Edward and Lyrica are arguing over whether to let Lady Wifey in or not. And Edward decides he's letting her in, and when he does, like a bunch of other people rush the door like they've uh announced free pickles at the Ren Fair.

SPEAKER_09 38:00

Somebody, free pickles? Okay.

SPEAKER_05 38:03

Is that a thing to give away at the Ren Fair? They don't. You have to buy them, but they're delicious. And they're huge. And well, I'm not buying one then.

SPEAKER_09 38:12

I'll you know, I like a pickle. Listen, I like a pickle. But the bigger the pickle, the more intimidated I am, and the less I want it. It's just like, yeah, this is too big. I don't know how to deal with this. It's too much pickle. I can't handle this size. It's like a banana that's really long. I mean, it's like, I'm never gonna finish this. It's too big. And again, I know these things are phallic, and I know you're thinking that's what it is. No, I don't think it's not it at all. It's just in it's like buying a sub that's too long.

SPEAKER_05 38:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 38:45

Again, it's phallic. I'll be big tray of lasagna.

SPEAKER_05 38:50

That's two meals.

SPEAKER_09 38:51

I'm not intimidated by lasagna. Who am I kidding? Big pickles creep me out.

SPEAKER_05 38:58

I do like a pickle at the Ren Fair, though.

SPEAKER_09 39:00

In the blue corner. Wearing your shorts, Mr. Big Pickle.

SPEAKER_05 39:10

Mom and Edward argue about why she's there. And mom's like, I want to see my daughter. And he's like, Well, you gotta luck, then, because she's a Lutrid. And mom's just like, What the fuck?

SPEAKER_09 39:22

Oh, so he talked her into going? Doesn't seem like that's the case. No. Yeah, and why did you have her imprisoned anyway? I didn't. Why'd you have me imprisoned? I didn't. Well, look what you did, buddy. And that's kind of the whole talk.

SPEAKER_05 39:38

Yeah. She's just a ray of sunshine, isn't she? She's pleasant. At the light.

SPEAKER_04 39:45

Um.

SPEAKER_05 39:46

Okay. So we see Breda and another Danish woman loading logs on a wagon. They're slaves for the king now, right? The Welsh.

SPEAKER_09 39:59

For the King of Wales.

SPEAKER_05 40:00

Yes.

SPEAKER_09 40:01

Uh, and and this man on the horseback, his name is Rodri. And I don't know what his deal is. Is he a general of some sort? Who knows? Because the king is back at the you know King place. Yeah, and I couldn't pronounce the De Hilbarth. De De Hubarth? Whatever.

SPEAKER_05 40:22

King House.

SPEAKER_09 40:23

King House. Anyway. He uh tells her she smells like poopy and spits on her.

SPEAKER_05 40:30

He gives she gives no fucks, though. She's Brita. She's like, I'll get mine. I'm biding my time. Yeah. It's gonna be good when it finally comes.

SPEAKER_09 40:40

Brida doesn't have any lines in this episode except for one. She has one line. Yeah. She calls she calls Rodri a lying turd. And that's her only line.

SPEAKER_05 40:52

So Father P looks out and he sees some villagers outside the gates or something, and so he sneaks them in.

SPEAKER_09 41:00

Yeah. I think we may have skipped a touch here.

SPEAKER_05 41:05

Oh, did I? Oh, wait, okay. Oh, first he sees the villagers. Then we see uh Finn and um Edward's kids. What's his name again? Ethel Stan. Stan. Flat Stanley. We see Ed uh Flat Stanley and Finnan float in a boat, and then Oots Kid's away. Ots kids talking about pagan and Christian things. That was weird.

SPEAKER_09 41:31

Yeah. And and instead of chiding her, Utrid is kind of like, alright, that's cool. Which is kind of nor not normal for him, I noticed. He was okay with that.

SPEAKER_05 41:45

The the the baby monk? The uh Utrid?

SPEAKER_09 41:49

He was okay with her being pagan. He didn't give her the whole God thing. He was just like, yeah, alright, if that's what we're gonna do.

SPEAKER_02 41:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 41:59

I'll take whatever they give us as far as protection. And then there's a little chat. Uh Osfirth and Edith have a talk about Finn. Uh and how he's I think she's sweet on him. I think she's sweet on most of the men, but hasn't done things yet. Well, because they've been nice to her.

SPEAKER_05 42:19

Yeah, she's been she tells she tells Ossporth, she's like, it's so nice to be amongst a group of men who don't just see me as something to be passed around and traded. They have a nice little homey area there by the water.

SPEAKER_09 42:36

Yeah, this outdoor swimming pool waterfall feature, which is clearly just behind some hotel.

SPEAKER_05 42:47

They filmed it, they filmed it at the Polynesian. Yeah. Um let's see. So Wolf's dude has picked up the trail, and I'm like, oh no, will he find them when they're asleep? So they're all laying there, and Edith thanks Utred for not killing her brother.

SPEAKER_09 43:08

Yeah, and he says, if I have a chance, I will. And she's like, Yeah, that's fair.

SPEAKER_05 43:14

That's fair. She asks about his gods. Do they sit in judgment? And he's like, No, I got better things to do, man.

SPEAKER_09 43:21

They don't give a shit about me. What about yours? And I was waiting for her to go, used to think so. Not so much anymore, but that didn't happen.

SPEAKER_05 43:30

No, but he says that he used to think that the path of the warrior was how he got to Valhalla, but now he's not so sure. I'm like, oh come on, stick to your guns here, babe.

SPEAKER_09 43:39

Yeah. So then we we go back to Wales. And it is party time? Holy shit, what a meal. I've decided something uh I'd like to announce here. I don't like feast scenes because the food sounds are gross. There was food splurching. I am I don't like food splurching.

unknown 44:08

I don't

SPEAKER_09 44:09

Don't like it. Also, this guy's name is Howell, King Howell, if you recall.

SPEAKER_06 44:14

Thurston Howell?

SPEAKER_09 44:15

Yes, Rabbi. No. Howell H Y W E L Welsh style is Howell. How do you like that? And then they're all they're feasting, and there's a guy at the table, and Howell looks at Rodri and he says, That Brockfale of Gwent hasn't smiled once. And I'm just like, who the fuck is that? And do I care? I don't.

SPEAKER_05 44:42

We don't. None of us gives a shit about anything that's happening here.

SPEAKER_09 44:47

Well, other than the fact that Breed is there and Rodri's dragging around around the chain. And Howell is just like, dude, you're better than this. What the fuck? Calls him a turret.

SPEAKER_05 44:56

If decide to throw her in the pit.

SPEAKER_09 44:59

Yeah, because she uh he shows her a blade that he claims belongs to C Nut, and then she's like, No, it isn't. You turd. And then she's like, throw her in the pit.

SPEAKER_06 45:10

It was a long way down.

SPEAKER_09 45:12

I was like, ooh, that's gonna hurt. And I realized it was probably only about six feet.

SPEAKER_05 45:16

I don't know. It still felt like a long way. She landed on her face.

SPEAKER_09 45:20

Well, that's she should have put her face above her feet. One would hope. Maybe the chain screwed that up. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 45:29

This was a hell of a barbecue. Dude, they had a whole roast pig? A whole peg.

SPEAKER_09 45:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 45:36

They had mounds of things that looked like food, but I could not identify what they were if you asked me.

SPEAKER_09 45:43

Vittles? I'm gonna say vitals.

SPEAKER_10 45:47

Uh probably some sweet meats, which I've never been clear on. I guess sweet meats are like glands?

SPEAKER_08 45:55

Organs? Or is that sweet bread? Oh, sweetbreads. Sweet bread is the hypothalamus glands. Let's discuss. Sweet meat is the brains. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 46:07

So I'm just gonna have the yogurt. I will have the cornbread.

SPEAKER_10 46:14

Thank you. Okay. You lock me some pone!

SPEAKER_09 46:18

I love cornbread.

SPEAKER_10 46:19

Oh, I love cornbread.

SPEAKER_05 46:22

The famous Dave's cornbread mix. Oh, it's so good. Have you had famous Dave's cornbread at a famous Dave's?

SPEAKER_10 46:30

I have indeed.

SPEAKER_05 46:31

Oh, it's heavenly. They're so hard to find anymore. I don't think Dave is famous anymore.

SPEAKER_09 46:38

Well, we were just talking about a trip to one of our um our state's largest tourist traps, and there is a famous Dave's there.

SPEAKER_05 46:45

Oh, is there?

SPEAKER_09 46:46

Still, it was there six years ago, and we had we had seven years now. We had beans and cornbread and ribs and a big mug of beer, and it was fucking epic. And for the longest time, the the image of whenever my wife would call me that would show up in the little circle on my screen was a picture of her with a napkin tucked into her shirt and barbecue sauce all over both hands. Because I took a picture of her eating ribs at Famous Daves. I'm like, oh, this is adorable. Click. What the fuck are you doing? That's her profile now. So good. Sorry about the sidetrack there. I just thought that stuff to the barbecue.

SPEAKER_05 47:33

Um, Father P, this is where Father P is hiding the villagers in the barn feeding them.

SPEAKER_09 47:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 47:38

And Lady Mama comes in and she wants to talk to him. Lady Mama. And he's like, I don't want to turn against Edward. She's like, I just want to know why Fled fled. That's it.

SPEAKER_09 47:52

Hey, nice.

SPEAKER_06 47:54

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_09 47:55

That was real good. Why did Fled fled?

SPEAKER_05 47:58

Why Fled fled?

SPEAKER_09 47:59

Then I like how he said, I don't want to do anything to interfere with or to betray the king.

SPEAKER_02 48:06

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_09 48:06

And then and and she's like, bitch, please. This is a bunch of sick people right there. Well, not sick people, but people he sneaked in.

SPEAKER_05 48:16

And he's like, except for this, I made a so mom then confronts Edward about why she put why he put Fled in prison.

SPEAKER_02 48:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 48:26

Because that's why she fled. It's because he imprisoned her. She's poof. She's like, so you put your sister in jail. Now she's on the road. Now she's got my grandkids. Now they're gonna get sick. And it's gonna be your fault. Good thing Edith is with them. Good thing Edith is with them.

SPEAKER_09 48:45

They don't know who Edith is. Well, I mean, uh, I mean I made Edward might have noticed who she was because she's buddy buddy with Bro. But yeah.

SPEAKER_05 48:55

Yeah. Well, she's his sister, yes.

SPEAKER_09 48:58

Yes.

unknown 48:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:00

For now.

SPEAKER_05 49:02

What did who I don't I wrote this down, but I don't I don't remember who said it. Children dragged into politics rarely survive.

SPEAKER_09 49:09

Um that was Elsa said that. And I I don't know how she could possibly mean that because she has two grown children, one of whom is king. I mean, come on, they're alive. What the fuck? Well, they rarely survive. Okay, well I mean they were lucky, I guess. Yeah. We don't know about the eight kids that she had that died.

SPEAKER_02 49:32

Right.

SPEAKER_09 49:33

Well, Alfred was still alive. I mean, I don't know. So the final part of C Panny, yeah, they're on their way to Chester.

SPEAKER_02 49:40

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 49:41

And Edith And Wolf and his boys are on the road.

SPEAKER_09 49:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 49:45

But Oot's staying to the ravines and away from the main road. And Edith is like, When is sick?

SPEAKER_09 49:51

What should I do?

SPEAKER_05 49:53

Tell him to calm down. Then they see Wolf. They hear the foot they hear the horses, they start running through the field.

SPEAKER_09 50:02

That's when they come across someone in the process says, We're not gonna run them.

SPEAKER_10 50:07

They're our horses.

SPEAKER_05 50:09

I think it was Finnan. That's good. Yeah. Then they come upon the bodies in the swamp.

SPEAKER_09 50:18

Oh god, this was disgusting.

SPEAKER_05 50:21

They should have just tossed Elwyn.

SPEAKER_09 50:26

Oh, Elfin's probably sick. We'll go in there. That's so gross. That was so gross. There's just thousands of bodies in the swamp. And I could just smell that. Alright. I can smell it.

SPEAKER_05 50:42

So they showed just a shot of like all the bodies in the swamp. Oh. And they're all still except for one guy who's floating. I don't think that actor made that choice. He's got his little hands in the water propelling him a little bit.

SPEAKER_09 51:00

Under his body, he's got one of those little tiny pocket fans and he turned it on. Little propeller in a move. Hey, hey, Jeff, stop moving. Jeff, what are you doing? They're not gonna see me. I'll be they're gonna have to do the shot over. We only have so many time. The drone's batteries run out. Stop fucking with your fan, Jeff.

SPEAKER_10 51:29

Just lay still, Jeff. I don't want to move. Everyone else is so still.

SPEAKER_05 51:36

Okay, so basically, um uh bro corners them. He and his guys have got them at arrow point, which I just saw TikTok about how that's not really a thing that they you could realistically do.

SPEAKER_09 51:53

But no, because if you get too close, I mean you have to take point blank shot as a perk in order to shoot somebody within five feet in DD. You can't do that normally.

SPEAKER_05 52:06

But in real life, you can't do that. If you're trying to hold that pull for that long, you can't do it.

SPEAKER_09 52:13

No, that's that's just what well, maybe longbows are different. Compound bows are made to do that, where you get to a certain point and it just goes, and then it's easy to hold. But a longbow made out of like you or whatever would not be easy to do. You're right.

SPEAKER_05 52:29

Anyway, okay, so while she's got a captive audience, as it were, Edith tells uh Wolf's guards about how he murdered Aethelred and stole his ring. And if you look in that little pouch on his around his neck, again, why would he take the ring? Um to find the ring. So then basically Wolf runs away and the men go back to Mercia because they don't want to get sick. And then we get back to uh Wales, where the end of the party, right?

SPEAKER_09 53:01

Oh, did you wait? Did you kind of kind of just skimmed right over the top of this pretty epic scene for Edith, where she gets his men to turn on him and he leaves for God knows where.

SPEAKER_05 53:15

Yeah, I said all that, but I guess I kind of glossed over.

SPEAKER_09 53:17

The the key part was that Erdwolf leaves. The Mercian guard is still loyal to a certain extent to Ethelred, and certainly to Mercia, where clearly Erdwolf is a bro who only wants to lick ass because that's what his name is. Ass licker.

SPEAKER_05 53:34

Bro.

SPEAKER_09 53:34

Bro. Well, Utrud gets Ethelred's ring off the ground. That's another thing. I'm sure that'll come back. Let's check off her ring. So, yes, back in Wales. The party's over. Someone needs to clean up this hall.

SPEAKER_05 53:49

Oh my god, can you imagine? The smell leftover pig.

unknown 53:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 53:57

I like pork quite a bit. I too. Pig roast is a delicious affair.

SPEAKER_05 54:02

I have never been to one.

SPEAKER_03 54:03

Oh I was Are you okay? Who are you? So we don't know. Are you alright? Recalling the event has brought me down with the sickness. Oh wow. Oh no!

SPEAKER_05 54:21

Damn. So uh the Danes. Okay, so we see a dude. This is a fairly common trope in s in shows like this, where everybody's either preoccupied with something else, and somebody stumbles in, and they're just uh barely at death's door, right? They're somehow wound mortally wounded. So this guy is walking in. I'm like, who the fuck is this guy? What happened to him?

SPEAKER_09 54:50

Well, I can tell you what happened to him. His ears done got chomped. Yes. Oh god. One of them was just hanging there, like I couldn't stop looking at it. So he walks up to the king.

SPEAKER_05 55:04

Oh my god, is that your ear? Ew. Ew, you should have that looked at. For real. Can you hear that? That's gross. Why are you so gross? Ew. Well, turns out the Danes have arrived from Ireland.

SPEAKER_09 55:20

Sure enough.

SPEAKER_05 55:20

And they're coming to take your head.

SPEAKER_09 55:23

So he seemed almost happy to tell this story. I don't know if you see. It was like heh. The Danes. I'm guessing you might be a little shocky. Yeah. Probably a touch.

SPEAKER_05 55:35

A little bit of a little bit of both ears missing.

SPEAKER_09 55:41

You know, I feel like that some days. What with my new ears?

SPEAKER_05 55:45

SPEAKER_09 55:57

Well in this village. Young Utrud and Citric are to find Nathal Fled and tell her that her daughter is safe. And Edith and Osford, Osworth will stay with her until Edward has sworn he won't harm Edith. Edith, yes. Yeah. But Edith Edith's concerned about Elfwyn. Utrud says, keep her alive. She is the future.
