Eileen and Spencer take a look back at The Last Kingdom Season 4 on Netflix.  We go over each of the episodes and bring some historical clarity to the series along with the actual timeline (or at least our perceived timeline) of events. Eileen relates some true historical analogies regarding this historical timeframe. Then we play a little game of portmanteau’s and some trivia about characters within the series.

Knowing about your nuts being crushed?

SPEAKER_05 0:18

I don't my nuts were not See now you can't just come in on that.

SPEAKER_08 0:24

Can't come in with my nuts being crushed. No.

SPEAKER_05 0:28

No, it was a game. You take two MMs of about the same size, right? You know, you pick you pick your champion or whatever. And you have this an equal amount of MMs, the peanut MMs, and then you mush them together, and whoever's cracks, the champion gets to eat that person's MM.

SPEAKER_06 0:50

So basically, at the end of the game, at the end of the day, you're just eating a bunch of heavily fingered smushed MMs.

SPEAKER_05 0:57

I find no downside in this.

SPEAKER_08 1:00

It's an MM. How bad can it be?

SPEAKER_05 1:03

Yeah. And this is family, I'm assuming.

SPEAKER_03 1:05

I'm not walking up to strangers and challenging them to this game.

SPEAKER_08 1:08

Saying, hey, would you like to smash some MMs with me? Yeah, that seems weird. Heavily fingered MMs is opening for Pyromancer this weekend at the Civic Center.

SPEAKER_05 1:20

Uh man. I hear they're up and coming.

SPEAKER_07 1:24

You know what? I bet you Pyromancer would have done a better show at Coachella than Justin Beaver did.

SPEAKER_05 1:29

Well, didn't he bring on Billie Eilish and a whole bunch of other people to help revive it?

SPEAKER_07 1:34

From what I understood, he just he he just zoomed in and then showed a bunch of people old YouTube videos of him performing.

SPEAKER_08 1:41

Oh pretty great shit. I mean, that's performing. Hey everybody, look at what I did before, because I can't anymore.

SPEAKER_05 1:49

It's art. It's performance art. It's edgy. You don't understand, Spencer. You haven't experienced it live and in person. And you know, I get just a little emotional thinking about my time. You know, I was wearing the most two band-aids and um and my Levi's 501 button flies from 1983.

SPEAKER_02 2:18

And um walking around and I heard it and I'm like, oh my god, this is this is exactly what I really need right now.

SPEAKER_08 2:27

Is that like the female version of Um actually? Is it I think so.

SPEAKER_06 2:33

I think I don't understand.

SPEAKER_05 2:44

Hello, and welcome to the Royal Highness Podcast, where each some well, well sometimes we Okay, hello.

SPEAKER_08 2:53

It is never known what we will do.

SPEAKER_05 2:56

What's today? Oh, today's fourth tournament. Okay, hello, and welcome to the Royal Highness podcast, where so we have watched all the available Gr Martin shows um for the first time while enhanced with cannabis products, and then we've talked about them while we were still enhanced with cannabis products. Right now we're watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix until the next Gr Martin show comes out. So um, and we're talking uh about that instead of how last week took three years. So hello, Spencer. Hello, Eileen, and happy 420 to you both. Thank you.

SPEAKER_08 3:32

Thank you very much. Especially my buddy Dave's birthday, and it's the day I met my wife.

SPEAKER_05 3:38

That's amazing. How about that?

SPEAKER_08 3:41

She's sitting behind me. She's like, eh, whatever. She goes if only I had made a choice. Her response is eh.

SPEAKER_05 3:52

Well, it was a day for sure.

SPEAKER_07 3:55

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_05 3:56

Oh man, they didn't have dispensaries back then. You couldn't just drive for a while.

SPEAKER_08 4:01

No, you had to know a guy.

SPEAKER_05 4:08

Apparently, our producer Mike. Hi, Mike. Hello. Because you get to participate in these shows. So uh our producer Mike is going to also be participating in today's show. And so I guess we were talking about like doing a recap. And um, I remembered this at about about 30 minutes ago. Oh, oh, good for you. I know. Well, I was all excited because Mike says, Oh, I'll put together a game, right? And I'm like, Oh, great, because I usually do that part. So I was like, Oh, I'm off the hook. All I have to do is show up. And then I reread our thing and I'm like, oopsies. Uh, we're supposed to do a recap. So here's what I've done. I'm also drinking bubbly. Hey, I'm eating a burrito.

SPEAKER_07 4:54

Don't feel bad.

SPEAKER_05 4:55

I know. Okay, so episode one. All right.

SPEAKER_08 5:01

This was okay, before you go any further, episode one, we watched I I think literally last year, right?

SPEAKER_05 5:10

Um, pretty much.

SPEAKER_08 5:13

Okay, so because this season was broken up by was it House of the Dragons season two? And no, it was Dunkin' Egg.

SPEAKER_05 5:23

It was just Dunkin' Egg between episodes four and five.

SPEAKER_06 5:27

Okay, so it's probably January. Uh I meant oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:31

Mm-hmm. It was it's been a it's been a hot minute.

SPEAKER_08 5:35

Um well, this the first part of this year has lasted about 12 years.

SPEAKER_05 5:41

So and at the same time, it's gone by in about eight seconds. I cannot believe how quickly. Although it's hard to believe where we are because we're still in winter.

SPEAKER_06 5:58

Well, I mean, right now, I think that Mother Nature has uh some some mental issues that she needs to deal with. And she's gonna be able to do it. I think she's got beef.

SPEAKER_05 6:08

I think she's got beef.

SPEAKER_06 6:09

She got beef with humans. I don't know. It's one day she's 25, the next day she's 70.

SPEAKER_07 6:17

An entire town in our state was wiped off the map by storms. I mean, who knows? Who knows?

SPEAKER_05 6:25

We yeah, we literally lost a town to a tornado.

SPEAKER_07 6:31

I mean, to be fair, the town was a gas station, a small eatery, and three houses and a church.

SPEAKER_08 6:36

So I mean the church. One well-an tornado gotta have a church. You're not a town without a church. Well, at a bar.

SPEAKER_05 6:44

You gotta have a ratio of three to one, depending on the town.

SPEAKER_08 6:48

Three bars to one church or three churches to one bar? Depends on the town. Mere National buildings? No, no, fuck you. We do this the right way. It's alcohol and God.

SPEAKER_05 7:00

Yep. We'll stick all the municipalities in one building, and that leaves more buildings for the bars and the churches.

SPEAKER_07 7:07

Really, just the municipal functions occur in the basement of the church.

SPEAKER_05 7:11

Sometimes, yeah, that would yeah. I mean, let's be real here. So, okay. Here's what Netflix told us was gonna happen in episode one. Utreid receives news that Bedbath Beyond's defenses have been weakened by the Scottish attacks, and he plans to seize his birthright, but Edward refuses to help. So, does that squeeze your brain as to what actually happened in that episode?

SPEAKER_07 7:39

I have a recollection that he went and asked, and Edward said I cannot afford to give he wasn't like a dick about it. He's like, I can't give you the men right now. We are spread too thin because shit happened.

SPEAKER_08 7:53

Although I can't remember what the shit was because he's always at fucking war with somebody. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:02

Tar prices were going up. Right.

SPEAKER_05 8:06

What are you gonna do? Oh my god. Uh I just hope for the hard time. Hope for the midsummer. The midsummer.

SPEAKER_07 8:16

What was the title of our episode for that one? Oh shoot.

SPEAKER_05 8:21

See, I didn't copy that.

SPEAKER_08 8:23

Uh it was called Lord Asslicker. Alrighty then. Presumably that's where we meet Erdwolf then, right?

SPEAKER_05 8:36

No, Erd Wolf was around before this season, wasn't he?

SPEAKER_08 8:41

Or is this just when he got all big in his boots and ended up?

SPEAKER_07 8:46

Yeah, because he had murdered Ethelred. Yeah, he had murdered Ethelred and then was made a lord.

SPEAKER_04 8:55

Has he killed him yet in episode one?

SPEAKER_08 8:58

He killed him in the season finally. At the end of season three.

SPEAKER_04 9:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 9:06

This is really having a hard time remembering. You see, according to the date this was uploaded, we watched that episode December 10 of last. Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_04 9:14

That was a while ago.

SPEAKER_05 9:17

A while ago.

SPEAKER_08 9:18

It was it was 12 years and three weeks ago.

SPEAKER_05 9:22

And then multiply that by brain cells ago.

SPEAKER_07 9:26

Yeah. Oh, if you cancel all those things out, you get four cats per square ironing board.

SPEAKER_05 9:33

Correct. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 9:34

Units matter.

SPEAKER_05 9:36

I didn't know you were Canadian.

SPEAKER_06 9:38

I have not sometimes I have to do that. I'm sorry. I like it. All right. Now what are we talking about?

SPEAKER_05 9:46

And then in episode two, they says, as Utred and his men draw closer to Bed Bath Beyond, prodigal son Hwitgar returns with some tricks up his sleeve. Who the fuck was that? Do you remember?

SPEAKER_07 10:01

I oh, he was the guy who took his his like his nephew? Yes. Because he his uh uncle's uh son came back from travels all over the place. He'd been a Narnia or whatever.

SPEAKER_08 10:17

And he came back and then they claimed a bedbath beyond.

SPEAKER_07 10:21

Yeah, he's like, Oh, this is my place now.

SPEAKER_08 10:23

And he killed the current lord.

SPEAKER_07 10:25

Yeah. Right at the end of that. Oh, and this is the same episode where Baelka dies, rather unfortunately. But is it the beginning of the next one?

SPEAKER_05 10:35

He does the epic move, man. Whoop bang into the table.

SPEAKER_06 10:39

Damn, and he fucks that table up.

SPEAKER_05 10:41

Yeah, he does. Let's see. Density is all. And then episode three. Let's see. Netflix says, Utrid suffers an unbearable loss in his attack on Bed Bath Beyond, but takes some valuable captives during his retreat south. Prepares for war. So this is when he grabbed what's his bucket's kids, right? The twins, the boys?

SPEAKER_06 11:05

C nuts, wee ones, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:08

What ends up happening to them?

SPEAKER_06 11:11

He lets him go.

SPEAKER_08 11:12

He gives them to Heston, doesn't he?

SPEAKER_05 11:14

Ooh, so then we don't know.

SPEAKER_08 11:16

He took them from Heston. I don't fucking remember. He took them away from Heston.

SPEAKER_04 11:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 11:23

Um I can't remember.

SPEAKER_04 11:26

See? Oh my God.

SPEAKER_08 11:28

Because he threatens to he threatens to kill them and he uses in the next episode. Well, we'll talk about this in the next episode, but he talks about he threatens to kill them and then he throws the dead kid over that died from the attack. Oh yeah, some random kid. Yeah, and they think it's C Nuts kid. Yeah. No, he lets him go. I think he just lets him go into the wild. He's like, run away, run away, or something like that.

SPEAKER_04 11:51

Oh, I wonder if they can't.

SPEAKER_08 11:53

Oh, yeah, he does. He's like, they'll survive in the wilderness. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:59

I wonder if they'll come back next season. That would be interesting.

SPEAKER_07 12:02

Oh, well, if they do come back, they're they're gonna be in their 30s.

SPEAKER_05 12:05

Yeah, of course. I mean, because time passes weirdly here. They have soap opera time here.

SPEAKER_08 12:12

Yes. So I did a little research on the time thing. So season five takes place 30 years after the close of season four. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 12:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 12:26

But season one took place in like 750 AD. Right. If you were to calculate four took place in 910. Right. So if you calculate the time, Utred is like 170. And looking good.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Looking great for that age. 170. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 12:45

I wonder if he'll play like Utred's son, Utrid.

SPEAKER_03 12:50

Wouldn't that be funny if he's like, I've taken my father's accent?

SPEAKER_01 12:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 12:57

And his scars. And his bad haircut. Mullard with a ponytail.

SPEAKER_07 13:03

What is right outside Bubim Burr. Destiny is balls.

SPEAKER_03 13:07

No, it's density is balls.

SPEAKER_05 13:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 13:10

Density. Shit.

SPEAKER_05 13:12

Episode Episode 4.

SPEAKER_08 13:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 13:15

Netflix says, hoping to be joined by Edward's troops. Flef left and Utred ally with the Welsh to face C Nuts Thousand Warrior Army at the Battle of Teton Hall. This was the big Battle of Teton Hall.

SPEAKER_07 13:29

Remember, this was cool.

SPEAKER_05 13:31

Yeah. It was an awesome uh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 13:34

Didn't they trap him in some fire or something?

SPEAKER_08 13:37

Oh no, that was that was that was that was later. That was later.

SPEAKER_05 13:41

It's all right. Everything gets all jumbled up when you go to the Renfair too many days in a row. And then here's where we stopped and did a knight of the seven kingdoms, which was arguably a much better show.

SPEAKER_07 13:56

That might have been the best six episodes of TV I've seen.

SPEAKER_05 14:01

And so coming and so coming back to this just feels you know, it was a tough pull, you know.

SPEAKER_08 14:10

But Butrid's like an old pair of slippers.

SPEAKER_05 14:13

Yeah, that aren't super comfortable, but you know, reliable.

SPEAKER_08 14:19

I can't I can't go to the store to get new slippers. Right. They have no holes. Gotta wear your slippers to the store to get new slippers. And of course, what's the news about uh the next series of dunk and egg? Delayed? Delayed because why flooding in a location they went to because it was desert.

SPEAKER_05 14:40

Right. Somewhere in Spain, if I remember.

SPEAKER_08 14:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:43

Yes, it was to uh indicate dry conditions.

SPEAKER_08 14:47

Yes. So Dorn, presumably. Uh so it's uh very ironic.

SPEAKER_05 14:58

Okay, was the thing I sent to you today real or AI?

SPEAKER_08 15:01

That was AI. Was it? I didn't even watch it because I was positive it was.

SPEAKER_05 15:06

God damn it. I wanted it to be real.

SPEAKER_08 15:09

No. It would have been real, it would have been great if it was real, but no, that was AI.

SPEAKER_05 15:14

It was actually, it was a listener, it was a trailer for uh Game of Thrones season nine. Um so I was like, woo, this is kind of fun to watch.

SPEAKER_03 15:23

But the funny thing is like he's there's a one spart where Bran is like prophesying and his eyes are glowing, and all I could think was fucking Bran.

SPEAKER_07 15:38

All right. It would be great if the first scene in that was turns out Bran's story wasn't so good, and he gets pushed out of another window.

SPEAKER_03 15:50

We'll we'll need to correct what should have been corrected earlier.

SPEAKER_05 15:53

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 15:54

Land on your faith, boy. Land on your faith. But the AI did a great job of aging up uh Tyrion Lannister, I thought.

SPEAKER_05 16:02

They did a great job aging everybody up, still it's still AI slop, and and it's it's not Yes. It wasn't I wouldn't call it slop. I've seen AI slop. It was fairly well done. But at the same time, you know, an artist could have created that too. Would have taken a little longer, uh, but it could have been done. So just saying. Episode five then. Episode five. Get on with it. Hang on. Netflix says a repellent ethylred lingers or repentant.

SPEAKER_08 16:33

That was the I don't know about that when Ethelred dies, yes.

SPEAKER_05 16:38

Cause I said a repellent and not a repentant. A repentant Ethelred lingers what Netflix says a repentant job. Okay. Netflix says, Netflix says a repentant Ethelred lingers near death while his eldermen vie for control of Mercia, and Edward uses his niece F Win as a bargaining chip. So that's uh Fled's daughter. Yeah, that's the one who gets trippy next to the big thing.

SPEAKER_07 17:14

So I think my problem is that I thought that this whole airwolf thing took forever to happen.

SPEAKER_08 17:23

And I forget that.

SPEAKER_05 17:24

Yeah, because we're already so after that, the next episode, Eredwolf and his men are pursuing Utred. So this whole episode five was all about Eardwolf coming back into the picture, wasn't it? Yes, no, okay.

SPEAKER_07 17:39

And then and then also it was when the the the illness was filling the air. If you the sickness. Yeah, get down with it.

SPEAKER_08 17:52

In fact, I think we called that episode down with the sickness. We did indeed. I think we did. Um yes, but he's still alive.

SPEAKER_05 17:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 17:59

Let's all jam into a tiny area while the ill illness is spreading.

SPEAKER_05 18:04

Aye, aye, yeah. They did close the gates after a while. You heard about that one town in France, I think it was in France, or whatever France was. There was like one outbreak of the black plague, and they're like, nope, nobody goes in, nobody goes out. Everybody here who had it is dead, and nobody here is sick, so y'all could just keep your distance. We will leave our money on this stump with a list of what we need, and then y'all bring us the stuff, and then they wiped it all down and and brought it all in, and that's how they did, and they all survived. So I wanted to say during the second round of the black plague.

SPEAKER_08 18:43

You know, plague is still a thing. I know, but like it's not as big of a thing as a oh no, you gotta really work hard to get the plague. I would recommend don't. Well, I mean you just go get bitten by a varmint.

SPEAKER_05 18:57

It doesn't sound fun. The boobos. Ooh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_07 19:02

I don't want no bubos, thank you.

SPEAKER_04 19:05

I don't want no bubos. Bring out children! Clank.

SPEAKER_07 19:12

Pile the buoobos up over here, would you prank? Big old stack of bubos.

SPEAKER_05 19:17

Can you imagine having to put a head on a spike and it's got a bubo on it?

SPEAKER_08 19:22

Do you have a non-bubo head I could use? Somebody that just looks like him without the swelly thing, please.

SPEAKER_07 19:29

This is so gross.

SPEAKER_05 19:31

Oh god. Man, just Okay, so then we go into episode six. What was that?

SPEAKER_07 19:41

Nothing.

unknown 19:42

What?

SPEAKER_07 19:42

Episode six we just covered was the illness.

SPEAKER_05 19:45

No, it wasn't. Episode six, Eredwolf and his oh Edward, Eredwolf and his men for Sir Utrid's party as it fleas or country represents these tensions arise between Edward and the Mercians, who were the wedding band that played at my Batsumitsva. Okay. So Edward and the Mercians. Um, so yeah, that was you're you're right. That was uh then we go. Okay, so we that we talked about that. All everybody's sick. Uh episode seven, Netflix says Elfwyn suffers from the sickness. Ah, that's right. This is when she got all sweaty.

SPEAKER_07 20:17

This is the one I missed.

SPEAKER_05 20:19

Oh I missed. Okay. Edward proposes an unexpected path forward for Mercia, and Brita is freed by Canute's kinsman. Okay, so this is when Brita gets out of the the well, and this is when what's her name? Edith is taking care. No, it's Fled that's taking care of Althwin, right? Like sleeping with her and shit, and you're like, dum dum. This is where you put a redshirt. You let a red shirt take care of the kid, and then you tell red shirt, hey, thanks for all your help. Here's a couple coins. See bye. And then you go on your merry way. And uh yeah, the the unexpected path forward was that Ethel Fled should run, isn't it?

SPEAKER_07 21:09

Well, should work with it. Utrud is selected.

SPEAKER_05 21:11

Oh, Utred, that's what it was. He's like, I am putting Utrid in charge, and Fled Fled Fled's gonna stay here with him, and he's gonna look after her.

SPEAKER_07 21:22

Yeah, but the episode ends before Utrid is officially throned. Right. And in the next episode, we start with his baptism, which is why it's called Oot's butt.

SPEAKER_08 21:37

Oot's butt. That's what we call this. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 21:40

I wonder if it says actual butt or if that was a butt double.

SPEAKER_08 21:44

Uh no one, it's probably his butt. Probably his butt.

SPEAKER_05 21:47

Netflix says Utred reluctantly prepares to take power in Mercia, but secretly formulates an alternate plan. Rita joins the Dane in attacking the Walsh. This is where Utred decides to give over the seat to Ethelflaed, who, in order to do that, has to remain chaste.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 22:10

So she doesn't produce an air, apparently. Isn't that correct? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 22:14

And cause uh secessional crisis. Also, I notice in the notes Mike has written Cigarette Trigger as a name for Sig Trigger.

SPEAKER_06 22:27

This is that pleases me.

SPEAKER_05 22:32

This is where we get this is where we get introduced. Is this where we're introduced to Sig Trigger? Has he been like kind of a side figure coming up to here?

SPEAKER_07 22:40

He's the one who rescues Brita from the Welsh. Right, right, right. So this is like episode two of Sigarette Trigger.

SPEAKER_02 22:49

Chick-chega. Sig triga.

SPEAKER_05 22:59

We're gonna go off to episode nine, where the Danes, under Breda and Sig Triga, sack Winchester, guided by the trader Airwolf. And then Hasten ambushes Utrrid's party and seizes uh valuable captives, which turn out to be uh the children's.

SPEAKER_06 23:16

So and and mom.

SPEAKER_05 23:18

And mom, right? Uh the uh what's her la what is she? She's elf elfwith.

SPEAKER_07 23:28

Edward and Ethelflade's mother.

SPEAKER_05 23:31

Mama. Yeah. I just have her as mom and everything. So this is basically they take over Winchester. They end up there's heads on spikes. It is heads on spikes, and it is uh this is where Eredwolf meets his end in this episode.

SPEAKER_08 23:49

He gets stabbed in the trunk. Through it's like collarbone, yes.

SPEAKER_05 23:58

Yeah, through the clavicle, that space. I'm guessing it gets all the major organs and kills you dead pretty quickly.

SPEAKER_08 24:05

Yeah, I would assume you probably lose everything. I don't know if you noticed it, but he gives a twist. Oh yeah. After he puts it in there, he twists it.

SPEAKER_03 24:14

He's like, uh They called that the Bamix.

SPEAKER_05 24:20

The Vitamix.

SPEAKER_07 24:22

Ouch.

SPEAKER_05 24:23

Ouch. Episode 10. The finale lala. Edward besieges Winchester. Oh my god. Okay, we have to say first, before we get into this, the end of episode nine was so frustrating because Edward's being a dum-dum. You had that coming, dum-dum. Right, because he's just a idiot ball. Yeah. Just attacking the the walls and just getting his ass handed to him every time he does it. It's just this field of arrows out there where, you know, and bodies and all manner of decay.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 24:57

Which should serve as a pretty good warning. Don't come this way, right? Yeah. Anyway. So Netflix says Edward besieges Winchester as he awaits Ethelflood's reinforcements. But Utrud isn't convinced that Conquex Conquex.

SPEAKER_08 25:14

What in the fuck is Conquex? Is that a serial? I'd like a box of Conquex.

SPEAKER_05 25:21

I don't know, but I bet man, that would be a great scrabble word, because you'd have an X and a Q. Come on. And a C. I mean, we're talking some good points. I don't think it's a word. Conquest. Let's do that again. Edward besieges Winchester as he awaits Ethel Fle Vla Vla's reinforcements, but Utrud isn't convinced that conquest is really Sig Trigger's ultimate aim. Right, which we find out Sig Trigger's like, look, we can keep doing this, we can keep fighting each other and killing each other, and this is stupid. We just want someplace to uh grow our crops and raise our kids and basically just hang out and be good neighbors. Right? Um, so they work out a deal. Yeah. But will it 30 years later, how's that deal going? We'll find out next season on Last Kingdom.

SPEAKER_07 26:15

Well, you made it sound like it was some sort of like full house adjacent program.

SPEAKER_05 26:20

I don't know. I'm in a very odd mood. I'm tired, I'm stressed out, I it's been it's been it's been like a.

SPEAKER_08 26:30

So what did you both think of season four? I think season four was a hot mess.

SPEAKER_05 26:38

I think it's just because it we it was all jumbled up. It's all jumbled up with dunk and egg.

SPEAKER_08 26:43

You know, no, that's not the problem. The problem is it just it it strained my ability to believe it when previously intelligent people did some dumb shit. See, to me It's like season eight of Game of Thrones when you watch Tyrion Lannister go from the cleverest boy to a dumb motherfucker and give Bran the title of king after all we've been through. There are so many better choices than Bran. So true.

SPEAKER_04 27:16

Who has the release?

SPEAKER_08 27:18

Sorry. Zombie Hodor would have been a better king than Bran.

SPEAKER_05 27:24

Oh man. Haven't done that in a while. Ah, that sounded good, man. I haven't heard that in a while. I I felt having dunk and egg in the morning. It it's kind of like when you go to a restaurant.

SPEAKER_08 27:41

Did you just say dunk and egg in the morning? She did. Turn into W A T Z to listen to Dunk and Egg in the morning.

SPEAKER_03 27:50

To drive time radio show. WJST.

SPEAKER_04 27:59

Sorry.

SPEAKER_05 28:00

What is the one talking about? Oh shit. Okay. So it's like when you go to a restaurant and you have my story, it's gonna sound stupid now. Never mind. No, tell it, please. You know, you go and you get a so-so appetizers, right? That's like the first four episodes of the season, and then you get your main entree and it's awesome. It's like this is the best food ever. You're like, I'm gonna order dessert because the food's accurate. So you order this decadent thing and it comes out and it's still frozen. And it's not supposed to be frozen, and you go, motherfuckers.

SPEAKER_07 28:38

I actually think that is a very, very good analogy. Yeah, I really, really do.

SPEAKER_08 28:43

It's so much it's so accurate because I mean, on its own, Last Kingdom is a great show. I like it. I'm glad we chose to watch it. I'm enjoying it. But when you throw six episodes of extraordinarily good acting and storytelling and just filmmaking in general, in the middle of kind of an average, you know, slash em up British history show. You know, it's like, aww. And production value, of course, is ten years ago. Yeah, well, yeah, but so yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:18

Still that long ago The Last Kingdom came out.

SPEAKER_08 29:21

Well, season five was 2022, so I don't know. Yeah, so okay. Well, four years ago. Four years ago. Yeah. That's nearly ten.

SPEAKER_05 29:30

That's almost ten.

SPEAKER_08 29:31

You're you're rounding up, sure.

SPEAKER_05 29:33

I mean you always round up when there's you know change involved.

SPEAKER_08 29:39

There's actually a thing uh called Fermi estimation where you just you use orders of magnitude. It doesn't matter what the numbers actually are, it's just so anything from one to nine is one. Anything from eleven to um ninety-nine is ten. Anything from one hundred to nine ninety-nine is one hundred, and you just do that. It's orders of magnitude. I see. Enrico Fermi, he's the guy who did the first nuclear reaction underneath uh squash court at University of Chicago, and he did math like that.

SPEAKER_07 30:15

It's amazing we're still alive.

SPEAKER_08 30:19

He's got all sorts of principles and stuff too.

SPEAKER_07 30:21

He does. And his paradox is the best paradox is where is everybody?

SPEAKER_06 30:27

And he just said, well, he just said in it, where is everybody? Because he's Italian, so he had that hand where presumably he's having a hot dog. Oh no It's a me, a fan of me.

SPEAKER_05 30:43

Is he Italian?

SPEAKER_06 30:44

Yes. Oh god.

SPEAKER_03 30:48

I just want to put a uh apology out to Americans, Italian Americans.

SPEAKER_06 30:54

Anyway, for the offensive. I don't know what he sounded like. He might have had a Mario-ish voice, but whatever. He's very, very smart man. But Okie dokie.

SPEAKER_05 31:04

Did we get a do you feel like we got our share of the violence, gore, nudity, and language we were promised by the disclaimer every week?

SPEAKER_08 31:13

I mean, there's a fair amount of violence and gore. Language was lacking. One butt.

SPEAKER_05 31:19

Yeah, I'm thinking all season. We didn't we don't even get like side boob or anything. It's weird.

SPEAKER_08 31:26

Well, I'm not gonna say it.

SPEAKER_06 31:32

Okay. Well, there you go. Uh so that's that's our how about that side boob? Do you like that? Oh my goodness. Well, you shouldn't. Because it's my side boob.

SPEAKER_05 31:45

Uh so okay. Um, so uh is there anything else you want to say about it before Mike gives us our whatever the heck's gonna happen now? It's some sort of trivia or something. I'm scared.

SPEAKER_06 31:57

Well, no, I think uh I think we got everything out of the way. I'm just I'm looking forward to seeing what what they're going to do with this group in season five.

SPEAKER_08 32:08

I I know that there's more after season five, and we will cover that when the time comes in our movie.

SPEAKER_05 32:17

We can just look up what happened in history 30 years after.

SPEAKER_08 32:20

No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not uh same thing. It's yeah, it's different. It's made up history with a historical slide nod.

SPEAKER_05 32:29

It's historical fiction.

SPEAKER_08 32:31

True, true. So as I was in the 190-year-old man named Utred who uh didn't it's like Moses, he's the Moses of the Vikings.

SPEAKER_05 32:41

Ah well, he was half gang and half.

SPEAKER_08 32:50

So as I was trying to go up with things to do for this episode uh to make it fun, I was working on a list of things that are kind of mashup words. I think you call them the trivia where you take things and make it into another word.

SPEAKER_05 33:04

Before and after.

SPEAKER_08 33:06

Oh, that's before and after. Okay. So these are gonna be, I guess these would be portmondus? Portmanteaus. Portmanteaus. Okay, sure. Portmantea's. So I'm gonna give you a description and then uh you decide what you want to think about it. If you want, if you don't, I'll just tell you what I came up with. So a red wine from grapes grown at Bebenberg.

SPEAKER_05 33:26

Bad bath Bordeaux.

SPEAKER_08 33:28

Ooh, I like Bed Bath Bordeaux. That's very good. Uh I wrote down Bebben Burgundy. God damn it. And at that same restaurant, if you got a meat sandwich, what would it be called? Uh uh BBBLT? A BBBL, it would be a Bebben burger, of course. A Bebeburger. Uh what would you call What's the sauce on a Beben burger? Is it just disappointment? No, it would be a white kingly sauce named Alfredo. Alfredo, there you go. God damn it. And what would you call a strong coffee drink in Winchester? Oh. I'll give you my answer. Wes Expresso. This is just I am I am not thinking I came up with these. Okay. Lumber that is royal. Okay, give me a minute. Let me think this through. So it's a wood joke. Yeah, well, kind of. Lumber? Lumber.

You can change control of the board and you can pick the next category. If you get the answer wrong, your opponent can either try to answer the question to gain control of the board or to get the points, or just take control of the board and forfeit the points that are on the board. So um, and in order to go first, I have uh, and it what's gonna be funny is based on our discussion tonight, a lot of these questions go over things that you already talked about. So that should be fairly simple for you to pick out some of these things. Frust in the mind, hopefully, yeah. Yes.
