SPEAKER_02 0:16

I don't know if I'm gonna have enough spit. I might have we might have to take a break so that I can get some water actually. Yeah. Holy bucket. Did you need some water? Maybe a little. Yeah. Oh man. A whole bunch of water. Holy allergies. Fucking Batman. What the hell? Why do trees hate me?

SPEAKER_05 0:42

Well, they got a bunch of liquid, and so as a consequence, they're all feeling good, and they decided I'm gonna just chase it here.

SPEAKER_02 0:50

Exactly. And it gets in my eyes. And I hate it when juice gets in my eyes. And that is a wrap. We're done with the show, everybody. Thanks for listening. I should I should clarify tree just. Trees forest, pollen, the tree pollen. I hate the tree pollen. It makes my eyes very sticky and itchy and it's gross. Where sometimes we prefer to watch Gr Martin shows for the first time while enhanced with cannabis products, and then talk about them while we're still enhanced with cannabis products. We did the entirety of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, and um we're waiting for House of the Dragon season three. So we're kind of finishing up The Last Kingdom, and tonight is the finale lolly of uh season four for that. So uh and we're gonna talk about that instead of all the what the fuckery in the world right now. So hello, Spencer. Hello, Eileen. All right, the season four finale. Season four, episode ten, titled Episode ten. Perfect. And uh Netflix tells us Edward besieges Winchester as he awaits FFLaflev's reinforcements. But Utrud isn't convinced that conquest is really Sig Tigger's ultimate game. Now Yep.

SPEAKER_05 2:34

I did not like this episode.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

We are again promised violence, nudity, language, and gore. So did we get violence? Yes. Did we get nudity? Not a nip. None of it. Uh language, I think they said shit.

unknown 2:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

Like when they were gonna smoke them out. Yeah. Uh gore, I didn't think any more than usual battle scenes.

SPEAKER_05 2:58

I mean, there was fast-paced, blurry CGI blood. I don't know that anything very uh graphic happened.

SPEAKER_02 3:08

Yeah. So it's a little over 54 minutes, which I think is the longest one so far.

SPEAKER_05 3:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:14

They've all been about 51.

SPEAKER_05 3:19

And uh and almost all of it was you just found it boring? I'm not sure. I there was something about this I didn't like.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

It just it just reeked of finale.

SPEAKER_05 3:35

Well, it was definitely stinky finale, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:38

Okay, and there's one obvious point that I'm gonna make, and I'm sure Mike is thinking the same one. So where somebody comes back, but why? Young Utrid? Yes, as I started calling him Utrid.

SPEAKER_05 3:58

Oh, that's good. Young Utrid. Yeah. Why are you here? Well, because I wanted to say goodbye to my sister, otherwise, I'd be at church.

SPEAKER_02 4:07

Yeah, it was really dumb. It was so dumb. I'm like, what uh okay, anyway. Uh recap. He is Utrid, son of Utred. Uh Wolf led the Danes to Winchester, so the Danes take Winchester and they kill Wolf. Anyway, Heston is uh has uh West's bucket trapped, and the kids are gone, and uh the king's sons are being held captive. Um but the Danes are fucking up everything in Winchester, and Edward's freaking out, not listening to reason and being smart, so destiny is all.

SPEAKER_05 4:42

Destiny is balls.

SPEAKER_02 4:44

Destiny is balls. Okay. Remember when I said I might have to take a break? This is when you take a break? I do, or I will not survive. I will dry up like an absolute sock and just fall on the floor.

SPEAKER_05 5:03

So in the meantime, two minutes.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

You guys can talk amongst yourselves, or you can wait for me.

SPEAKER_05 5:13

Neither chicks nor peas, discuss.

SPEAKER_02 5:15

Discuss. All right, I'll be right back. All right.

SPEAKER_05 5:24

We get the girl from Eponema as Eileen wanders off.

SPEAKER_02 5:40

I have no idea. It was just discussed. And I probably never will. All I know is that I came back to fucking your uncle, and I don't know what that means.

SPEAKER_05 5:51

So that's what Renera Targaryen does. She fucks her uncle.

SPEAKER_02 5:55

Oh, that's right. Damon.

SPEAKER_05 5:56

Oh, that's right. In the fuck hut.

SPEAKER_03 5:58

You're an uncle fucker. Yes, it's true. Nobody fucks uncle fuck you.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

Oh man, it's still upsetting. It's still upsetting that it's um that it's um Matt Smith to me for some reason. Yeah. The quirky doctor, you know, the the fish fingers and custard doctor is using the fuck butt. Oh man. All right.

SPEAKER_05 6:23

Although that is the place where we learned about chicken wing, and we get to see him in in this show, which is kind of great.

SPEAKER_02 6:28

That's true. There is a good crossover there. So all right. So anyway. Night. It is nighttime. We see a head on a stick, right? Heads on a stick, rats, bodies, uh, all over the place, outside of Winchester. They're all the bodies are being looted. I guess there's new bodies every day. They send some four fucker up there to try to to negotiate, and he goes, shoot. Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 7:00

Uh that was a senseless waste of arrows.

SPEAKER_02 7:05

Oh my god. So it was just a field of arrows. It was a crop. Someone should have gone through, like, oh, I'm just taking these. Yeah, you can just reuse those. Well, maybe they wait for the bodies to rattle up, but they're easier to pull out than I guess.

SPEAKER_05 7:17

Well, some of them were just on the ground. Either way, Edward's like, hey, let's set it out on fire. Right. And everyone's like, how about no?

SPEAKER_02 7:29

Hey, no, wait a minute. At the end of the recap, he says he's been trapped by Heston. Did Heston just Oh, that's right. He hung him upside down, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 7:42

Okay, that's right. The final part of CPAN. He escaped.

SPEAKER_02 7:46

And right because Edith cut him down. Edith. Edith cut him down. Okay. Father P's kind of running up to Utred and he's like, uh, Edward's Udrid's telling Father P, Edward's being a dumbass. And he's like, Yeah, I know. I've tried to tell him he's being a dumbass. He's an idiot. There's nothing I can do. He's just a dumbass. It's 30 days, and he's done with it, so he's gonna fire to the wall. He thinks it's the only way to get in, and then he's like, whoop, some casualties. Yep, there's definitely gonna be some casualties. Uh, and then we'll rebuild. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. When was this released? Portentious?

unknown 8:26

Perhaps.

SPEAKER_05 8:27

Um this is one of those things that's not unique to our current situation. Yeah. It's how it happened plenty of times.

SPEAKER_02 8:37

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 8:38

I know. But it's kind of similar. Anyway.

SPEAKER_02 8:40

I know. Bullcut arrives, uh, and he says, Hey, blah blah blah blah, led her army to this amazing victory in Irverfrisch. And she's on her way here. Um, and Ed's like, instead of going, Thank fucking God, now I don't have to set them on fire, his response is, Fuck, now I have to win before she gets here because I'm a big baby.

SPEAKER_05 9:09

Yeah. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of my sister. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

Why is he that way?

SPEAKER_05 9:15

Because he's an arrogant little fuck. That's it. He's a big one. So he sends out he sends out Senrich to say, hey, we're gonna set your place on fire.

SPEAKER_02 9:25

And Brita and Hesden see him approaching.

SPEAKER_05 9:29

I just wanna let you guys know that uh if you don't get out of there right quick, we're gonna laugh.

SPEAKER_02 9:38

Yeah. And what's funny is like Siegfried's like almost Hesitant. He's like, Yeah. I was tired of listening to him. You didn't have to pierce him. Yeah, but you know what that pr at that stage of pregnancy, you know it? Uh, you know, I got father.

SPEAKER_05 9:59

I'm not a big fan of Pergnant Brida. Who? She Pergantebrita. She's very hormonal.

SPEAKER_02 10:11

Well, she's she's just like what is her beef, what is her big beef with Utred?

SPEAKER_05 10:19

Well, he didn't kill her when she when the when the whales, the Welshman came.

SPEAKER_02 10:25

Oh, to take that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right.

unknown 10:28

I forgot.

SPEAKER_05 10:29

And I like how she's like, oh man, you have no idea what I've been through. And all I could think about Utred saying, do you forget the boat I was on? Right?

SPEAKER_02 10:39

Do it's like, bitch, do you know what I went through? I mean, this isn't a competition. But hey, clearly, her pain is her pain, and that has led to her decision making. Not always great decisions. No. So cut to Utrud's daughter, who I can I couldn't figure out her name at first, but it's stereo. Huh?

SPEAKER_05 11:02

Stiora. Or we can call her Stereo.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

Okay, and she's reading to Siggy and she's like, damn, this is so fucking boring. Can I at least have something to eat? So he gives her some bread and she's like, Is it selling the bread? It's like, yeah. Rita comes in and she's like, hey, I need her. I'm going to kill her as a hostage. And Siggy's like, uh no. No, you're not. Right. And and I was like, is it because she can read? At first I thought that's what it was. Because you really seemed interested in the history, you know, or at least interested in, you know, figuring out what worked and what didn't work, it seemed like, you know, and he's like, I've read through all this shit and you are not in it, my guy. Alfred's story, no mention of you, my man.

SPEAKER_05 11:55

So it does come up later. Uh, but I think the reason that he he he likes her because she's she's very, very Danish, despite she's smart and independent. Mm-hmm. And he respects that. And clearly there is some respect here.

SPEAKER_02 12:14

Yeah, but he's also no, but you know, it's a little lusty, and I have no idea how old she's supposed to be. In my mind, she was like 14.

SPEAKER_05 12:25

I put her as older than that, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 12:27

Uh they're playing her much older now, but when she was like whining about looking after the little ones and stuff, I put her at like 13, 14. Again, no idea how time works here, listener.

SPEAKER_03 12:40

Well, whatever age she was, she's a month older than that. And here's the thing the see the so we know Rita's been pregnant for six for nine months. At least. How long is how long has she been pregnant, and how many seasons back is that that she got pregnant? Because Cnut was still alive. Oh so all the events since Cnut and now took place in nine months.

SPEAKER_02 13:09

It seems like a lot happened in that time, doesn't it? It does, yes, especially considering distances and like we've talked about.

SPEAKER_05 13:17

Also, Brita's definitely got nothing to say because Utred was on that boat for like two years.

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Right? Yeah. So there you go. Just so we have a we have a benchmark for time in Brita's pregnancy.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

Now we have to see if that would line up. I hadn't thought about that.

SPEAKER_03 13:35

I am not willing to put in the legwork.

SPEAKER_05 13:37

Anyway, we move on.

SPEAKER_02 13:40

I'll bet somebody else has. I'll bet if we asked the like Reddit or something, we would know. I bet Reddit.

SPEAKER_05 13:47

Anybody else out there nerdy about this show?

SPEAKER_02 13:49

Or you could just hey, if you listen to us, just email us royalhighnesspod at gmail.com. It's the easiest thing ever. And I won't spell it ever again. What's that?

SPEAKER_05 14:00

Oh, I still have that clip on my phone and it it puts me to sleep. Um so anyway, sig twigger's out like, no, you can't kill Styra. I want you, Heston, to go mud up the walls to keep it safe from fire, and then I will pick someone to hostage. And that happens.

SPEAKER_02 14:21

Here's my question. Here's my question. So they're getting the water and they're getting the mud and they're putting it on the buildings. Okay. What if Edward decides to wait a day or two? There's no, there's no like they don't know he's gonna start like right now. So what if he's just gonna it's all gonna dry out and just flake off, and then they're gonna have to do it all again. This seems this seems endless. There's a lot of thatched roofs in there.

SPEAKER_05 14:48

Yeah. Uh well, uh maybe the thatched roofs retain some of the the moisture. I don't know. No.

SPEAKER_02 14:55

You're gonna have to re-thatch, even if it doesn't burn. Because that's what I'm saying. It's gonna get mildewy. That's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05 15:01

Well, yeah, because yeah. Yeah, it's that re thatch every so often anyway.

SPEAKER_02 15:06

That's true. You know, speaking of I'm sorry. Margaret was a thatcher.

SPEAKER_05 15:15

All right. I'm gonna move on from that. Uh that's that's that's good. Um Edith is up in an attic somewhere and has to bust through the hatch and he's like, hey, here's some food.

SPEAKER_03 15:31

And and that was immediately when I started referring to him as Archie.

SPEAKER_01 15:36

Hey, hey, Edith. Hey, some food, Edith.

SPEAKER_02 15:42

Well la dee duh.

SPEAKER_05 15:44

That's good.

SPEAKER_02 15:46

So he's decided, Hesson's decided, he's gonna take Edith and the bastard son or the real son.

SPEAKER_05 15:55

I d well, he hadn't decided at that point. He just said he was gonna look after her and then runs away again.

SPEAKER_02 16:02

Right.

SPEAKER_05 16:02

Meanwhile, she's up in the attic.

SPEAKER_02 16:04

Right. And then we get to go all the prisoners are bitching about being hungry.

SPEAKER_05 16:11

And I just don't care. I I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 16:15

What is Red's wife's name again? Father-in-law's daughter. Who the fuck is she?

SPEAKER_05 16:20

Ilflid.

SPEAKER_02 16:22

Oh, for fuck's sake. Uh Red's wife. Uh and mom. Oh.

SPEAKER_05 16:31

Edward's wife. Right.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Ed's wife and and um mom are talking about the best way to uh unalive yourself.

SPEAKER_05 16:41

So Oh god, you had to say that word.

SPEAKER_02 16:44

Take some. I know I just don't want uh best way to ride the flower train to Never Never Land.

SPEAKER_05 16:57

It kind of cheapens the whole thing, doesn't it? If you make up a word.

unknown 17:02

What?

SPEAKER_05 17:03

Uh Elgo speak makes me so angry. I don't know. I don't want to get into it. I know it's not it's not something you have any control over. It's just if I hear one more asshole talk about a PDF file graping someone, I'm gonna snap and fucking kill someone. Kill murder with a gun. Actually, I don't I don't own a gun, but that's what you do.

SPEAKER_02 17:23

All right. So they're talking about how to kill yourself with the flowers and how that's particularly effective on kids.

SPEAKER_05 17:33

Yes, it's tasteless and effective, especially in children. And Elfled is like, why would you plant that flower in the courtyard?

SPEAKER_02 17:44

Yeah, she's like, um why wouldn't you in case you need to do this?

SPEAKER_01 17:49

Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_05 17:52

I like how also um Ethelhelm is like, I've learned things in my life that you would not understand. And and the whole while we're all like, you learn how to be kind of a jackass to everyone.

SPEAKER_02 18:05

Yeah, nobody likes you, man. Just saying.

SPEAKER_04 18:09

And he's such a skeebie bastard because later on he's like, well, we'll talk about it. He's like, You like this? This ring at my finger? Do you want it? You do me a favor. I just turned into Orson Wells for a second.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

It gave me Baelish vibes. Oh god, yes.

SPEAKER_05 18:32

So much. So after they're discussing the how to deal with the squish guide problem. Sig trigger comes in and he's like, give me one of them kids. Which one does daddy like more? Right?

SPEAKER_01 18:54

And he's like, No, I'll just take them both. The creepy kid goes, I'm the other brother I shall call.

SPEAKER_02 19:00

Was that the monastery kid? Yeah. The one I am no one. Let's call it out. Let's call it out. This kid has been told from the time he was born that his ultimate goal is heaven. Right? Yeah. He's like, take me. I'm ready to go. I've heard it's great up there. And to be eternally this age, this is awesome. I can like climb trees and shit in heaven. But all the old rickety folks can't do jack shit up there.

SPEAKER_05 19:31

So this is is that the appealing thing to martyrs is I can climb trees again.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

I don't know. I don't know. I'm just saying that that's like uh that's their whole shtick. That's the whole goal. Get to heaven.

SPEAKER_05 19:48

Yeah. Uh no, sorry, your corpse. Then you're fucking dead. Yes. Not my shtick, that's their shtick. Yeah, I know. You you we have the same shtick. Yes. These these people have an entirely foreign to me shtick.

SPEAKER_02 20:04

Wrap me in a sheet, yeet me in a hole, we're done. That's it. When I'm dead.

SPEAKER_05 20:08

Don't need no tree.

SPEAKER_02 20:11

Oh, that's a cool idea, too.

SPEAKER_05 20:14

No, we've talked about this before, and you told me that I was foolish. Well, I just don't want it to cost money.

SPEAKER_02 20:19

I don't want anything to cost money when I die.

SPEAKER_05 20:22

Well, you just you build a little bit of a trebuchet, you whip a guy in a tree, you leave him there. It's great. Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_02 20:28

So you whip, so you build a trebuchet. Let me get this straight. So you put the man in the pod, the tree.

SPEAKER_05 20:36

No, no, you see, no, you see, corpse, bucket, sling, hang, but-bye. I'm like a pumpkin junk. Into the woods?

SPEAKER_02 20:47

Yes, like just into the trees naked for the animals to find you.

SPEAKER_05 20:52

Sure. I'm dead anyway. It don't matter.

SPEAKER_02 20:54

There are some people who want to do that, and it's actually illegal. I know. Thanks for shitting in my Cheerios. I'm sorry. I just look. This is another, okay. This was one of my ADHD fetishes with looking up and finding out about green burials and where you can do it and how it's done. And can you just be left for animals to eat and shit like that? All right, all the prisoners complaining about being hungry, blah blah blah. They talk about which child should be chosen to sacrifice, and he decides to take them both. Oh my goodness. So then Oot and Father P are trying to talk Ed out of setting Winchester on fire. They're like, this is a bad idea.

SPEAKER_04 21:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:41

He's like, let me, oh my fucking God. Let me sacrifice myself because clearly, clearly, I am more important than the two heirs to the throne of England. Okay, dude. All right. And this is the scene where what happens next? Just you Udrid just comes running up from the Path, and he's like, hey Pops, I'm here.

SPEAKER_06 22:15

And I'm like, why?

SPEAKER_02 22:18

What good are you doing? Anything happening here, my guy.

SPEAKER_05 22:25

Yeah, why are you here?

SPEAKER_01 22:27

Why are you here?

SPEAKER_05 22:28

Why are you here? Why are you here?

SPEAKER_01 22:30

I think he said why he was there, and I just didn't listen because I just didn't care.

SPEAKER_05 22:35

You know, he may have, but all I all I know is that I I realize what it is about him that I don't like. It's that whenever he speaks, he bounces. That's it. And I and this, yes, and I think this is just this is something I don't like about that actor. And I'm gonna call him out on it. He just kind of bounces whenever he speaks, and you can't see me doing it because it's no camera. But he's like boing, boing, boing, wing, boing, and then he turns and he says something with that big smile on his face that could be a legitimate smile, or it could be the front end of a smart ass remark. I'm never sure with him until he it's like Schrdinger's talk.

SPEAKER_02 23:11

And he's both intelligent and unintelligent until he opens his mouth.

SPEAKER_05 23:16

Well, no, he's both sincere and sarcastic until he opens his mouth.

SPEAKER_01 23:21

No.

SPEAKER_05 23:21

Because he's bouncing like that, and you think he's gonna go, yeah, well, go fuck yourself. But he and then he doesn't. I hadn't noticed that, but now well, thanks, man. Yeah, well, you we're not gonna see him anymore because he's gonna be in the church, and I bet we'd never see him again.

SPEAKER_02 23:35

Yeah. And you know why he showed up? We know now finale.

SPEAKER_05 23:39

Finale.

SPEAKER_02 23:39

Because you know, everybody gets a piece of the pie at the end.

SPEAKER_05 23:42

I'm gonna get to hug Udrid. I'm surprised he didn't bring back Leo Fritch just for one more go-round.

SPEAKER_02 23:49

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 23:51

The ghost of Leo Fritch. What are you gonna do now, Arsling? Whoa, buddy! It's been a few years. According to this show, 250.

SPEAKER_02 24:04

That's how long Brita's been pregnant.

SPEAKER_04 24:08

That Danish woman of yours, she's been pregnant now for 300 years.

unknown 24:15

Right.

SPEAKER_05 24:15

Anyway, what that is. All right. That's why she's so grumpy.

SPEAKER_02 24:19

All right. So Sig Trigger is up on the, I'm gonna call it the parapet. I don't know if that's what it is. It's just the space above the gate, basically, the little walkway above the gate. Wouldn't you know it? That's exactly what it's called. Is it called a parapet? Yeah. I thought a parapet was more like something you walk the perimeter of.

SPEAKER_05 24:40

Well, the parapet goes around the entire upper part. Got it.

unknown 24:46

All right.

SPEAKER_05 24:46

It's not just the part above the gate. Right. To be to be completely fair, Sig Trigger's in the gatehouse.

SPEAKER_02 24:52

Okay. He wants to meet Ed face to face. And uh Ed's like, nope. And then Oot sees the boys up there with Siggy, and he's like, uh, dude, you need to come back. Now Ed gets like super in his feels.

SPEAKER_05 25:17

He does have a m. He has a he has a real one for just a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 25:22

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 25:23

Uh Trigger says, come and pick one of your kids and we'll call the whole thing off, potato potato. And uh instead of responding, he just walks away.

SPEAKER_02 25:37

Walks into his tent, screams into the void, yeah, respect my man. Because I want to do that on the daily.

SPEAKER_05 25:54

Yeah. This is why I drink so much on Wednesday nights. No, or scream into the void all the time.

SPEAKER_02 26:01

I can't drink anymore.

SPEAKER_05 26:04

Don't worry, I got you covered. Uh so um you're drinking enough for me.

SPEAKER_02 26:07

SPEAKER_05 26:09

Actually, not really. It's just enough. Just enough.

SPEAKER_02 26:12

Right. Are are talking to Edward about what child he should choose? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 26:19

And they're like, Oh man. Well, you should take the one whose whose uh legitimacy is not in question, and it's like, that's a really cold answer, dude.

SPEAKER_02 26:31

Right? Yeah. And then he's like, What do you think Sigma? And he's having he is having a toddler meltdown because he's a big baby.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:47

Title of this episode is Edward is a big baby. Baby on board.

But but she's a girl, so she doesn't get to king.

SPEAKER_02 27:09

Right. She can just be the what is it, the virgin protector of the throne? Yeah, whatever the hell. Alright. And then uh Utrud's like, what would you do? And he's like, No, it wasn't Utrud.

SPEAKER_05 27:29

It was um no, it was. You're absolutely right. Young Utrid looks to his looks to Utrid and goes, What would you do? And Utrid goes, just what he's doing. Maybe not so baby-ish, but I'd do that.

SPEAKER_02 27:42

I'd be broken.

SPEAKER_05 27:44

Utrid says, I would tell you to pick Styora. Because I'd be able to defend myself as he's bouncing and grinning.

SPEAKER_02 27:51

And then he goes, Are you gonna do something foolish?

SPEAKER_05 27:56

That was the question of the night, right there. Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_02 28:00

He goes, Are you gonna stop me? That was a good little exchange. Yeah. Not is it worth Utrid coming back?

SPEAKER_05 28:08

No. No. He could have said that to you could have said that to Citric had no lines in this episode. You could have had that conversation with Citric.

SPEAKER_02 28:16

Or Finn. Yeah. Yeah. So the final pharmacy panty. Finn had to be. Anybody in there. Father P. Utrid's gonna treat himself to the Danes in exchange for the boys, because he is way more important than the heirs to the throne, as we discussed. He's like, look, they're gonna, they're gonna want me. They want me. They love me. And this is their chance. I've shined up my old brown leather, put on a brand new suit of armor. That's good. Okay. Okay, anyway. He's like, I'll this gives them the chance to kill.

SPEAKER_05 29:03

Your joke nearly murdered me.

SPEAKER_02 29:05

No, it was a dumb joke. Okay, so it's gonna give them the chance to kill the Dane Slayer, right? So he's like, I'll go. And maybe Brita will have something to say, and she hates the fuck out of me.

SPEAKER_05 29:17

So uh Brida, who has been living in the wilderness and having been enslaved, but yet has perfect teeth. She's got some good teeth. Which bothers me more than I can express.

SPEAKER_02 29:32

Edward doesn't, they don't even play the game where he goes, no, no, I couldn't possibly ask you to sacrifice your life. And goes, no, no, let me do this for you. He's like, no, no, but you know, really, really. I can make more kids. And Richard's like, no, no, really. That's the honor of the no, no, no, nothing that none of that shit. It's just like, okay, promise, man, you will not be forgotten.

SPEAKER_05 29:56

I will give you five bucks and my Reese's peanut butter cups. To do what? To go in there and get my kids back. Right, right.

SPEAKER_02 30:06

Yeah. Oh, that's what Edward says. So Udrid starts walking out. I wish I knew the Final Fantasy, the original Final Fantasy theme. Because they're walking out with Udrid in front, just like your head guy was always out in front with like the four guys behind him, just they're all walking along. And they're talking about how uh he doesn't have a plan. Bullcut's with them, right? So they're like he's like, Bullcut's like, what's the plan? And they're like, You think he's got a peanut plan? And Ut's like, I think, I think, I think they're gonna give me the Nobel Peace Prize. I think I can end this whole thing. Father P and his kid get a look back, I said. Oh yeah, so Father P and Utrud are walking off, and and Utrud gives him a look back, like, Don't worry, I'll be wet. He goes up to the wall past the bodies and dead horses, and he's like, Yo, Siggy Boboy. Swapsies? And Heston's like standing up there with Rita, and he's like, Wait, what what the fuck? I fucking I killed that guy. No, he was up with Siggy, wasn't he?

SPEAKER_05 31:19

Yeah, and doesn't look like he's dead.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

Yeah. And they're talking about what a badass he is. And uh they're like, okay.

SPEAKER_05 31:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:34

That is such a bad idea on their part.

SPEAKER_05 31:36

It's true. This man has no dick. I mean, as long as as long as he's alive, we cannot take this area.

SPEAKER_02 31:43

Right. And but it's a bad idea. Okay, again, I'm gonna say it. The second he he walked through the gate, shoot, he's dead. Gone, not their problem anymore. Not a problem for them at all, or any future Danes, right? No, just let him walk on in.

SPEAKER_05 32:03

We have another season.

SPEAKER_02 32:05

I know, but it's it's just it's uh so unrealistic. Okay, anyway. Uh enjoy the fantasy, but it's history.

SPEAKER_05 32:14

Okay. Suspend your disbelief for just a little while longer.

SPEAKER_02 32:18

All right, it's eerily quiet at the Renfair. Too quiet. And there was a lot of music. It was very crucifixion scene in Jesus Christ Superstar, is what I'm saying. Sure, it was. And he sees heads on spikes, and he's seeing the archers, he's seeing all the guys in what I assumed was the Burlington Coat Factory fake mink shredded discards made into kind of costumes for guys shown in Sadouey.

SPEAKER_05 32:55

Also, what was the random with the random people sinking back into their homes and closing the door?

SPEAKER_02 33:03

As he walked through, because he's such a threat.

SPEAKER_05 33:06

Look at this man with his arms up in the air. What a person. Okay, weird.

SPEAKER_02 33:14

All right.

SPEAKER_05 33:14

I didn't need that.

SPEAKER_02 33:16

Anyway so, yeah. So the guards are walking the prisoners out to see Sig and Brita.

SPEAKER_05 33:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:24

Yeah. And tells them about Utrid surrendering himself to the Yeah, you know.

SPEAKER_05 33:32

And Utrid goes to Brita and says, I did not know about the baby.

SPEAKER_02 33:37

She is seriously pregnant right now. Like, damn girl. Like, this is yeah, we'll find out later.

SPEAKER_05 33:42

Okay. And then she says, Neither did Canute.

unknown 33:46

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 33:47

As if to say, you killed him before I could tell him I was purging an aunt.

SPEAKER_02 33:52

And so started the time clock.

SPEAKER_05 33:55

Yes. Ah, now we can tell. Now we know. This is a benchmark from which we can mark our history. How patent is Breda.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

Breda wants is like, hmm, I know. Let's go put him on that cross in the courtyard. Do they have like a they have a Lutheran cross in the courtyard, I think? Oh yes, I don't know. They wanted to crucify him. Right. And Siggy's like, mmm.

unknown 34:20

Nope.

SPEAKER_02 34:21

Nah, take him to the hall first. Again. Alright. He wants to talk to him before she kills him. And he's like, here, take his sword. That way he does he's not he's not armed and it'll be fine.

SPEAKER_06 34:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:37

And then he tells the guards to feed the the prisoners.

SPEAKER_05 34:40

And then Ethelhelm gives a bar a guard his ring for some of those sweet, sweet purple flowers hanging out in the courtyard.

SPEAKER_02 34:50

There was a very weird, very short shot of Siegfried just standing in an archway with his arms crossed.

SPEAKER_05 35:02

Sig trigger?

SPEAKER_02 35:03

I think Mike's just like, who the fu Oh, yeah, what was that? It was nothing. It was and I said boss battle? Because I thought, for sure.

unknown 35:14

Nope.

SPEAKER_02 35:16

Nope, they get food.

SPEAKER_03 35:18

All I heard, all I heard my brain was, that's a scene from the crow.

unknown 35:22

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:23

Oh my god. I was in his contract. He's like, I get to do one cool shot in an archway. Put me in front of that window. I like that window. It's good lighting on my weird hair.

SPEAKER_05 35:35

My wig fits better this time around, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_02 35:39

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_05 35:39

They spent extra time because I would be on camera more.

SPEAKER_02 35:43

Right. Okay. So here's the deal. Father-in-law bribed the guard with the ring to basically get some of that magic kill you potion. And uh says, hey, what hebble blef. Um, my daughter bleps don't, you know, after you finish that, don't drink the next round of water. And she's like, okay. She didn't really ask questions, did she? Did she get did she figure it out?

SPEAKER_05 36:16

She was like, why? That was her only question. And he's like, because uh after we get out of this, we might need to remove some royal entanglements if you understand what I'm saying. We're going to kill that woman.

SPEAKER_02 36:28

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_05 36:29

Real quick question How the fuck, how the fuck did she not look inside that jug? And go, hey, what's that?

SPEAKER_02 36:38

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_05 36:40

It's it was tasteless. But do you not look at what you're drinking before you start drinking it in case there's like a fucking bee in it? Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 36:51

I mean, she was just waking up in the morning and she was thirsty, and she normally has water there, so I don't know.

unknown 36:59

Yeah, like it.

SPEAKER_03 37:00

Anyway. Anyway. You're assuming it was a tea and not that the leaves dissolved completely in the water. Oh. Yeah, because she said it was tasteless.

SPEAKER_02 37:10

They could have just strained it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 37:13

I didn't see uh I didn't see a sieve anywhere in that little chapel they were in.

SPEAKER_03 37:18

It wasn't in the uh the junk drawer with the once a once a week used gadgets from the kitchen.

SPEAKER_05 37:25

A little tea ball. I got a can opener, I got like three different kinds of spatula.

SPEAKER_02 37:31

Oh no. Mike's house has the best one one-use gadget drawers, multiple drawers of these one-use gadgets. That is incredible. To the point where I once had to entertain his neighbor's kid for a while while the parents were doing something. I was kind of babysitting, I guess, but you know, like Mike was there and did you sort his gadget drawer? No, no, no. We played what does this do? Oh, and so I think he was like six or seven, and so I would just pull a random thing and go, What's this do? And he'd go, uh I'd say we have to come up with something. So we'd make up a thing. Okay, this was a dumb story.

SPEAKER_05 38:15

Anyway, uh, I love this because how many weird shit could you not identify?

SPEAKER_02 38:20

I knew what they all were, but this kid had no clue what most of them were. Oh, that's great.

SPEAKER_05 38:24

This thing does what? Yeah, it was very funny. Oh, it's a cheese cheese straightener. So, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 38:32

You don't want curvy cheese.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

No, I'm just saying. My cheese got all kinked up. I gotta get the cheese straightener out. You know, once it gets that memory, it's hard to get it out of there. You can't iron it. That's a mess. No, you just end up with a sticky iron. A tasty snack, though, if you can just peel it all off in one piece. Anyway. Oh, my wife loves crispy cheese. Yeah, crispy cheese on a curling iron. That's dorm food. Sig ambushes oot.

SPEAKER_05 39:04

Crispy cheese and a curling iron. That's a new band.

SPEAKER_01 39:14

So yeah, there's a their first album is that's dorm life. That's dorm life, yeah. All right, so yeah, Sig ambushes Oot who bests him easily.

SPEAKER_02 39:26

So they start they just start talking about Oot and Stiora, and Sig's like, look, she's smart. Um, she told me all about you and how you lost Bed Bath Beyond. And he's like, I got an idea. What if we become best friends?

SPEAKER_05 39:46

And s and sit and have a talk in this room past nightfall, as though we've known each other for a very, very long time.

SPEAKER_02 39:56

Standing next to one another, not across from one another, but next to each other, facing forward, discussing so fucking weird.

SPEAKER_05 40:08

Do you think I should write something down? Nah, remind you later. It's fine. Right. You got my cell number, right?

SPEAKER_02 40:16

And it turns out a group thread with you, me.

SPEAKER_01 40:25

Well put Heston in there for a goof. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 40:29

He's listening anyway by the door.

SPEAKER_02 40:31

Whatever you do, do not add Brita. I'm just saying, do not add Brita. She keeps saying, shut your bitch ass up. Okay. So Heston Heston's listening at the door, and Brita catches him, and he's like, she's like, Are you spying? And he's like, I spy on everybody. What the fuck? That's my whole thing. I spy on every guy. I spy and then I just like bounce. I do not stick around for the bad shit. I get out of there before the fighting starts. That's my whole deal. He tells Brida, Siggy's looking for a truce, and she's like, Oh no. She's like, she gets she does that thing where she just gets that look on her face like, I'm about to do something that's probably illegal, and I don't fucking care. Just, you know, it's a drunk girl. It's a drunk girl at at midnight whose friend has been uh uh somebody touched their boob and they're about to go legalistic.

SPEAKER_05 41:29

I think I might have lost the thread somewhere.

SPEAKER_02 41:32

But she does say liars and cowards, all of you. Um so then Rita goes out to the ranch.

SPEAKER_05 41:40

Well, she's on the parapet and she grabs Utrud's sword and just kind of goes, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:48

But not even hard. She just kind of goes, eh. She's been fighting like a badass for like through this whole pregnancy, but she can't, you know, heft that sword a little further than just a little bit down the embankment.

SPEAKER_05 42:06

Okay, let's talk about this very briefly. She threw it like a shot put, she just kind of went and pushed the sword in the air. When what you would what you would do is you'd take the sword by the handle, draw it back behind you, and throw it.

SPEAKER_02 42:22

Like a javelin? Like you'd throw a stick or a bowling pole. Oh, sure, sure, sure. I gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, like Mike just did, like a fishing pole. Yeah, yeah, I don't know about that. I think I would whiff it more to the side like a frisbee. Well, you could eat it that way.

SPEAKER_05 42:39

What but yeah, that's what she did. She went eh and kind of put it over the wall.

SPEAKER_02 42:44

Or you could throw it like when you do hammer toss and you just kind of do that thing where you swing it around and gain momentum and then you just let it go. She could even do two hands. She could have.

SPEAKER_05 42:54

But she just went, yeah. And so she spit up the sword. She spit up. Right. Basically. And then I'll look up her shirt. And then we have to change her because she probably pooped. Sorry, flashbacks.

SPEAKER_02 43:09

I lost that thread. Oh, so basically, it turns out one of the thieves who's looting a corpse says, seize the sword. I guess I miss something really good because shit.

SPEAKER_05 43:22

I got to tell you that the last thing I saw before I came online to record tonight was a collection of toddlers farting in inappropriate circumstances. And I uh I enjoyed it so much. But all I could say is I walked through the house to plug my microphone in was what the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? Because toddler farts are so extreme and and they come from such an honest place. Because they don't care or know. So it's just like and it phases them not. Nope. Couldn't care less.

unknown 43:57

Nope.

SPEAKER_05 43:58

This is you have gas, you let it out. This is an important facet of our podcast. Anyway, the final part is panty has has believed well, they found out that the Sword came back. Oh, we have to also mention Ed's mom drinks the water. Ed's mom drinks the water. Ethelhelm wakes up to watch her do it and then goes back to sleep.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

And he's just like in the corner creeping, just like photobombing her, just going, Yes, do the water. Dreams.

SPEAKER_04 44:31

Maybe you should chew on some of those leaves.

SPEAKER_02 44:34

Yeah, the thief. That tea is really tasty. You should chow on the flowers. The thief takes the sword back to the Final Fantasy Party, Final Fartersey Panty. And that says, That's a sign, Udred's dead. So now we have to set the place on fire. Doot do do. And then we see that's great. And that's what he does. He's like, Udrid's dead. Setting it on fire. Um we see Flint and her army riding towards Bussex quickly. And uh Father P uh lets uh Ed know that she's coming, right? Yes. So gratefully, she does he does wait. He doesn't go, Well, I need to sit on fire now, so she sees I'm doing something, right? Quit, quit, shut down mine shut uh minesweeper. Act like you're doing something.

SPEAKER_05 45:26

This war has a boss button.

SPEAKER_02 45:28

Right. Bullcut Bullcut tells her uh what happened and what's happening and what Ed wants to do. So Fled and Ned strategize, and then Bullcut is talking about Utred, and Edward just blurts out well. He's dead. I thought Fled the actress did a really good job here because you again, it's like one of those things where you see 800 emotions pass over her face.

SPEAKER_05 45:58

Yeah, she did really bang that one hard. That was great. I mean, it was like I just pooped and I want to cry, but I have to be the lady of mercia.

SPEAKER_06 46:08

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 46:09

And she's like, dead or alive, it doesn't matter. We have to do something.

SPEAKER_02 46:13

Yep. So they decide they're gonna smoke them out like bees with some flaming poo bags. Flaming poo bags, yes. Along the wall.

SPEAKER_05 46:24

Um now, can I ask? Is this how flaming poo bags were applied in a siege situation? I don't know. I bet the Googler knows. I'm not gonna ask. Not today.

SPEAKER_02 46:39

I don't know. Did they have the poo just lying around? Was there like a latrine that everybody went to? I mean, is it readily available to put in bags and set on fire? That's my question.

SPEAKER_03 46:52

And there's a lot of horse poop, too. A lot of meat. A lot of horses.

SPEAKER_02 46:58

Burning horse poop actually just smells like burning hay. I mean, it's not gonna make you nauseously sick like digested meat poop is gonna smell. You know what I mean? Human poop has a latrines that they just, you know, scooped.

SPEAKER_05 47:13

The shit thing is not I don't know. Okay, so uh according to Google's AI, and I I apologize, during medieval sieges, smoke was primarily used as a tool to choke defenders, mass troop movements, and create chaos, as you saw. In fact, Edward basically read from this attackers burned sulfur pitch or wet wood to create noxious fumes to drive soldiers off walls. They didn't use pitch, they used hay and shit and lime so that it would smell and be gross. I recall a certain person not being bothered by it during this. I gotta say, Brita's very pregnant. Oh, yeah, puffing that shit fume like it's nothing. Oh, yeah, it's gotta be bad for you. There's stuff that happens before that though. I know, I just wanted to mention it so I didn't forget.

SPEAKER_02 48:10

Yeah, oh yeah, she's just hacking at people left and right, you know.

SPEAKER_05 48:15

Not bothered at all by the poop smell.

SPEAKER_02 48:18

Nope. Nope. This is where we see uh Heston taking Edith and leaving. She doesn't want to go, so he's like, of course he forces her to go, pretty much.

SPEAKER_05 48:28

And don't worry, after a year, you'll start to like me. That's not a good that's sorry, bud. That's not gonna fly.

SPEAKER_02 48:36

Yeah, where's the red flag guy?

SPEAKER_05 48:40

So I think his name is Heston.

SPEAKER_02 48:42

Um, yeah, yeah, you know, uh everyone's this is where everyone's retching, and Brita is just standing there, and uh Heston and Edith get out, but she's like, You go on, you go on without me. I gotta tie my shoe. No, no, keep moving, just keep going. It's all right. Uh so she stays and he leaves. Um, and she starts going back, she's trying to go back in.

SPEAKER_05 49:06

Yeah. Why? I think that her she said she belonged with the captives. That she might put prisoners, right? So she was probably gonna try to get into the palace to see to those who are kept there, but right, thinking the kids are still there too, right? Doesn't she? Yeah, because I don't know that they she has any idea. Yeah, no, because she's been in the in the attic the whole time.

SPEAKER_02 49:31

Yeah, so we come back to Utrid and Siggy, who are chit chattering. He says, You betray me, all will suffer. Is that what Siggy says?

SPEAKER_05 49:41

That's exactly what he said. Um, and uh it's because Edward thinks that Utrud's dead and doesn't realize that Sigtrigger wants to negotiate, so they bust the door in and start fighting. And so both armies are at tussling, it's a little tussle, a little fracas.

SPEAKER_02 49:59

Mm-hmm. And she gets kind of caught up in the crowd. She's like a salmon swimming upstream, and she gets whooshed away with the with the ones who are done upstream.

SPEAKER_05 50:10

There's some injury there too, apparently.

SPEAKER_02 50:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 50:14

Uh and uh Utran Utred has to make his way to both leaders to tell their tell them to stand their armies down, which they do finally. And then we could do yes.

SPEAKER_02 50:25

I have to ask.

SPEAKER_05 50:29

How did they hear each other over all this?

SPEAKER_02 50:31

No, no, no, no, no. The battering ram. Did you see the battering ram? I sure did. Tell me, okay. It was basically a giant sharpened, it's a giant log sharpened at one end. Yes, and along it were metal rods, just metal rods that each each metal rod had a big strong guy holding it, right? Yeah, and they're just running at the door.

SPEAKER_01 51:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:01

Do you know how much force the guy in the first position is going to take from the other like nine guys behind him, all pushing him into that door?

SPEAKER_05 51:14

I'm sure there is some way that that was mitigated that we don't understand.

SPEAKER_02 51:20

There's gotta be the swingy ones. What happened to the swingy ones? They used swingy ones the last time.

SPEAKER_05 51:25

The swingy ones weren't invented until the 1500s.

SPEAKER_02 51:28

That's not true. I swear they used one with the shield roll. Am I messing up am I messing up Game of Thrones with shit?

SPEAKER_05 51:40

The fact that proper siege engines weren't really used until the Renaissance.

SPEAKER_02 51:47

Okay. Alright.

SPEAKER_05 51:51

Otherwise, it was just people with logs.

SPEAKER_02 51:53

Yeah. Siggy and Utrud come out to a very foggy battle at the Renfair. And yeah, Utred R R's his way through the crowd and tells Edward, You gotta stand down, you're man!

unknown 52:05

Good job.

SPEAKER_05 52:06

That freaks my dog out.

SPEAKER_02 52:08

Shut up! Have you seen the movie RRR? Everybody should see it. Okay. Rita's doing a stabby sabby. Edith's running. More fighting. Edith, Edward and Utred, blah blah blah. Both sides called time out by calling for a shield wall.

SPEAKER_05 52:23

Yeah. Shield wall happens.

SPEAKER_02 52:26

Edith is in the middle, and Finn romantically picks her up.

SPEAKER_05 52:32

Don't worry, I'll pick you up. How you doing? How you doing? Yeah. So it's and go the Go ahead. You go. You tell the negotiations. Because it's dumb. Ethelfled and Edward on one side, Sigtrigger on the other, and they start discussing who gets what. So it ends up being that Ethelfled, who just recaptured Ephrowich, gives Ephrowitch up to Sigtrigger. Because Sigtrigger doesn't want East Anglia. So that's what ends up happening. Meanwhile, Utrud leaves to go find his daughter and instead finds Brida in the courtyard with the sword and a battle axe. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 53:27

She just like, and I said, now this is what they should have done from the beginning. She just ambushes him and right in the right in the side with hasn't he been stabbed there before?

SPEAKER_05 53:38

He's been stabbed several places, multiple times. That's true. He might have been a grazing wound. Regardless, he's fine. And um he has the opportunity to kill her. In fact, she tells him to do it. Uh and he's like, no. Get out and go and don't stop ever.

SPEAKER_02 53:59

Have their baby, leave while you can. And she just walks through a door? It was weird.

SPEAKER_05 54:08

That's the get out door.

SPEAKER_02 54:10

I thought they were under siege.

SPEAKER_05 54:12

No, no, no. Remember this the siege broke down because the battle ended. Uh shield wall and all that shit. So she just kinda waltzed out.

SPEAKER_02 54:22

Alright.

SPEAKER_05 54:24

And then um post post thing, they're sitting there discussing well, they're patching him up, right? Yeah. Patching up Utred. Edward and Ethel fled come out and go, Well, we came to an agreement. Sig trigger gets up for which. And he will never enter Wessex, Mercy or East Anglia. Oh so get your daughter by exactly.

SPEAKER_02 54:53

He's like, excuse me, what? He did what with who? Here's the kicker though. So Utrud Utrid's pissed because they agreed to it. But then he goes to see her and she's like, I'm okay with this, Dad. This is so much better than hanging out with you and your lame-assed kids and being asked to babysit all the fucking time. I can go hang out with some cool people, learn about Danes. I'll come see you maybe every now and then, right? And then she's like, plus I kind of dig him. And he's like, ah, shit.

SPEAKER_05 55:31

Go ahead. Yep. And I told you last episode that Sig Trigger is the new Eric. And I was right.

SPEAKER_02 55:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 55:44

Some about these random Danes, they're just they're just fellas, aren't they?

SPEAKER_02 55:49

They are, but man, he is just, I don't know what she well, I guess his he's got an okay personality.

SPEAKER_05 55:55

So cut to mom who's very sick, and she falls on the floor. Wait, we forgot about Finn and patching up Edith. Oh, yes. And I want to ask a few questions about the application of bandages in this circumstance. Because he just took some gauze and wrapped it around her entire midsection, right over her dress.

SPEAKER_02 56:21

Right over the clothes. Just yep, we don't want to we don't want to clean that out at all. We want to leave all that fabric right there full of bacteria.

SPEAKER_05 56:34

You're gonna get sepsis all the time.

SPEAKER_02 56:36

No, I think they're just they're just gonna see uh we see if she's gonna come back next season. See, this is the finale version of uh we don't have a signed contract yet. So she could get sepsis and die in the interim. Or how much time do you think is gonna pass between this season and next season?

SPEAKER_05 56:56

Oh, when we come back, is Brita's kid gonna be like ruling the No Ethelstan is going to be 28 years old, which would put Utrud at I want to say 312 or something like that. And this is the fourth king of England. What the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 57:16

Okay. All right, mom is sick. All right. Ed wants Utrud to take care of his son and raise him, the bastard's son, right? Yes, he's like, you just teach him everything you know about Danes. That's all you gotta do. Please, please. Take my son, please.

SPEAKER_05 57:38

Take my oh man. And then we get a uh narrated recap of what everyone has chosen to do.

SPEAKER_02 57:50

We get a breakfast club close.

SPEAKER_05 57:53

We do, but with with a Brita given birth under a tree jump scare. I was watching this so peacefully, and all of a sudden, we got to see head crowning.

SPEAKER_02 58:07

That's the closest we got to nudity.

SPEAKER_05 58:09

Oh god, I hate childbirth and TV shows. I saw so much of that in the House of the Dragon. I never want to see it again.

SPEAKER_02 58:19

So fucking horrible. You didn't talk about the scene where where you trid has to give Utrid shit and then they hug, and then he's like, Okay, well, I'm going back to my church, see you, Dad. And he's like, Okay, thanks for stopping by, I guess, to do your laundry, maybe. I don't know. Yeah, but you need money.

SPEAKER_05 58:38

I thanks for finishing your uh responsibilities to season four.

SPEAKER_02 58:43

All right, he's like, I'm going to raise up the boy, I'm gonna stay out of Saxon business for now, but who knows? Because you know what they say destiny is all, and that's it. And that was the season finale of season four of The Last Kingdom on Netflix. So we have one more season, I think it's 10 episodes. Then there's a movie.

SPEAKER_05 59:13

There is a movie.

SPEAKER_02 59:14

Okay. So yeah. Do you think next week will be our recap week? Uh, did we miss anything, Mike?

SPEAKER_03 59:23

Just a couple of things. One of the things either one of you get the vibe when he released the boys of uh Ramsey Bolton moment of two arrows. I just kept waiting. It's like, oh god, oh god, oh god. As soon as I figured as soon as Oot crossed the threshold, they were gonna go thwip thwip.

SPEAKER_02 59:42

I thought the same exact thing. I said, there's no way they're letting these boys go. It's just oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 59:48

That means I've been cured of my Game of Thrones cynicism because I should have thought of that. That's really yeah.

SPEAKER_03 59:56

Oh and then the other thing is when mom was getting onto the bed, my first thought was the Queen Mother is a basement ghost. And then she would suddenly thump.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:10

I like the thump of um I thought she was dead. I thought so too. Yeah, thump of ails with hitting the floor was my favorite caption in this episode.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:21

And again, one more character. Did they renew their contract? We don't know. We'll find out.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:26

She's very sick, but she might fall through. That's right.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:29

Or she'll appear in season five, episode one as a corpse.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:34

Or a tomb with her likeness on top. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:37

Which is just a photocopy of her headshot taped over a box. Alfred told Utred to look after Edward, and now Edward told Udrid to look after Ethelstan. This is just a generational babysitter, what is it? Right? And Stan's not a bastard. He was born in wedlock. They were married when they had the child. True. So it's fair.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:06

And he is a he winds up being.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:08

But didn't they kill the priest that married them?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:10

I don't remember.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:12

Is that the guy that had the kick had the priest that married them killed or something like that, so there were no witnesses to the marriage?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:19

Probably, but he's the king now. He can tell them. Yes, we were. Yeah, he's accepted Ethelstan and Anyway, that's that's the old things I had.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:29

Also, the history book said that Ethelstan's the first king of England, so obviously surprised I'm not gonna put that one.
