Hi, Aileen.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

Oh my god. Hi, Mike. I surprised him. We never say hi. Hi Mike. But he's sighing so hard to turn his mic on. Hi. Hi, hi, hi. Hi, Mike.

SPEAKER_07 3:44

I thought for a moment that somehow his mic being on and his actual throat parts working were related somehow. I was like, yeah. If he doesn't have a microphone, he can't talk.

SPEAKER_02 3:55

It's like those guys. Those guys in the nursing home with that. You're gonna write for us. Wait, no, that's Peter Frampton. So season three, episode three, titled Reneiro Triumphant. So Or a Day in the Life of a fucking Or Rainy's very uh uh no good uh terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

SPEAKER_07 4:24

Or is it Friday yet? The royal version.

SPEAKER_02 4:29

This poor woman. And I love okay, we'll get to it. I'm just uh the realism they threw into this episode was amazing.

SPEAKER_07 4:40

Okay, I loved it. Well, the realism being, is that what happens when you have a period that you just go all day long? Oh fuck, I never want a uterus.

SPEAKER_02 4:55

Okay, you do not know. You know what's worse? Okay, let's be real. Let's be real. No, if you're if we're walking around sometimes, yeah, that's what happens, it's unpleasant. Then so what's worse is you sit for a long time and then you stand up, and it's like the damn floodgates. Yeah, fuck it is I like that part.

SPEAKER_07 5:20

I wasn't prepared for it when she said, Fuck. I was like, That's my wife. What the hell just happened? Yeah, no, she's pissed.

SPEAKER_02 5:28

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_07 5:29

I need to change my shorts.

SPEAKER_02 5:33

She like stands up and goes, Oh god damn. That's what she did. She like stood up and went, fuck. God damn.

SPEAKER_07 5:42

I'm bleeding.

SPEAKER_02 5:43

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 5:44

And then she sat around as if she had hemorrhoids for the bulk of the episode.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

Oh no. Sometimes you cannot get comfortable no matter how you sit. And that iron throne, let's be honest. It's made of like fire-burned swords, I guess.

SPEAKER_07 5:59

I don't imagine the seat is made of I I gotta imagine the seat is probably plain. And they just did I mean the the swords go down onto the floor.

SPEAKER_02 6:09

There's yeah, but there's no cushions or anything on it.

SPEAKER_07 6:12

Well, now that seems to be an issue.

SPEAKER_02 6:14

Yeah, that is not comfy.

SPEAKER_07 6:16

I mean, Viserys cut himself on the throne all the time because I imagine he was clumsy.

SPEAKER_02 6:22

Yeah, I imagine. His face came apart. You know, it would be just my luck. I'd like get up to the top because then and I'd lose my balance because I'm trying to like balance a glass of wine and a plate of chicken and some soup and good prey. All of a sudden I slip and everything goes wah. And that's okay, hold on. I go down like the worst episode of Plinko ever.

SPEAKER_07 6:59

All the crafts people in the realm serve at your whim. Have one of them conjure you up a fucking TV tray.

SPEAKER_02 7:08

Look, I'm not saying I'm the queen. I'm just saying I'm in the vicinity of this thing. I could just be a peasant, right?

SPEAKER_07 7:15

Why would you be carrying an entire day's worth of food and all your entertainment at once? If that's my problem.

SPEAKER_02 7:22

This is the only meal. I give your gall shit. I heard there was an exit out the back. If you had to go, but you had to go up and over the throne. If you've ever been in a theater and they're like, well, yeah, there's a back exit, but you gotta kind of go up onto the stage and then backstage to get out.

SPEAKER_07 7:41

Oh, is it to the right or to the left? Or stage left? I don't know which way is which. Can I can I take the soup with me? Is anyone reading this book? I have a whole bag of things that I took from this building. I have one of the dragons. Thorne.

SPEAKER_02 7:55

Oh, okay. It's just a small one. Nobody's gonna miss it. A small one. The songs of a bus. They stamp them when they're small.

SPEAKER_07 8:05

So, this is what we're gonna do instead of talking about this episode. I have to tell you, I did not like this. I mean You didn't like this episode at all? No. There were some some fun things that happened, and then there were some choices that were made that I I'm I'm really not entirely sure why. Like the the nighting sequence shouldn't have had a comedic tone.

SPEAKER_02 8:28

It was the music.

SPEAKER_07 8:30

Yeah, it threw me off.

SPEAKER_02 8:38

I made a note of it. I'm like, what's with the plucky music?

SPEAKER_07 8:41

I don't know. It sounded like uh I'm like, I don't think this is the right sound, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:47

Like shenanigans music. Well yeah, right. I was thinking I was gonna be a wallapie. Okay, we are 10 minutes in, and we haven't even gotten to the description from HBO Max. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 9:02

Gotta pad that time somehow.

SPEAKER_02 9:04

Ranera. Do we no Ranera learns the situation in King's Landing is not what she anticipated. Unable to locate her enemies, and with demands coming from all sides, Ranera must navigate a delicate balance between appeasing her supporters and consolidating her rule.

SPEAKER_07 9:26

Yeah. I want to watch the Larry David show that was advertised before this. I have seen clips. It looks hilarious.

SPEAKER_02 9:34

It is, it is, as most Larry David things are, a little bit and a little bit brilliant. So uh, that's what I'll say.

SPEAKER_07 9:44

There's a lot of people in it. I don't know if you noticed. There are a lot of fucking people in it.

SPEAKER_02 9:49

Isn't Rob Reiner in it?

SPEAKER_07 9:51

Um and then didity did and Corless and his boys chatting on the beach. We see that scene again. Mazaria. Huh? Huh? I'm remembering the name. Yeah, good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And remember, he got done in by a fork, or so we thought.

SPEAKER_01 11:54

Oh, we see Damon.

SPEAKER_07 11:57

Nothing. Just being one of the strongest kids.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

He goes, Father.

SPEAKER_06 12:01

Father.

SPEAKER_02 12:05

Oh, you're dead. These were the I I'm sorry. I have demons fighting inside me right now. I have a really bad demon and then a slightly less bad demon that they're fighting right now. Over what I should say next. And oh, okay. Oh, let's just get back on to um um Damon and Rainey getting the help of the City Watch against the King's Guard, and they win, and Rainy's like, Woo, I'm I'm Queen Nog, bring me Aegon, and they're like, Well, sorry, maybe he likes fucked off with Laris. And then so they're like, Well, then bring me somebody else. So they bring him auto, and uh, she does that hacky two swing, two swing being.

SPEAKER_07 12:50

Yeah, the old two swing beheading. That's one of the worst kinds.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

That is not a good way to go. That's you know what I'll say though?

SPEAKER_07 12:58

I was better than Alzheimer's.

SPEAKER_02 12:59

I might still better than Alzheimer's.

SPEAKER_07 13:02

I gotta tell you, there is an enormous chunk of cookie dough in this, and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to negotiate it with a Ponzi uh uh here's what I'll say.

SPEAKER_02 13:11

Every time I get something from that establishment, we won't name it here. They're not they're not sponsoring us. Um well it is more it is more stuff than ice cream.

SPEAKER_07 13:23

I drank most of the ice cream.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

What's that?

SPEAKER_07 13:26

I drank most of the ice cream.

SPEAKER_02 13:28

Ah, did you have hot fudge in it?

SPEAKER_07 13:30

No, but I just it's so warm that it melted rather rapidly, and now I'm I'm left with like an asteroid of cookie dough taking up the bulk of the cup, and the the spoon is just like yeah, it's the weeniest spoon.

SPEAKER_02 13:46

I broke down and I bought decent uh iced teaspoons. Very nice. Well done. And one. So, yes, so I have four, and so those are the ones that you use for things like circumstances such as these, when you don't get it.

SPEAKER_07 14:02

I thought when you started saying the word circumstances, you were going to say circumcisions, and I was going to ask you a very personal question about what the fuck you do when we're not recording.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

With a spoon? I'm probably not very good at it using a spoon.

SPEAKER_07 14:19

Hold on, I've got iced teaspoons. Is that gonna work?

SPEAKER_02 14:23

We can shop, and I'm like on one of these things here. You just go like the and you do it with the spoon edge.

SPEAKER_07 14:31

One of those straps that you just wah wah wah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

Oh, yeah, a strop, as they say. Okay. Anyway, let's do a show about holy cats, 15 minutes in. We haven't even started. They tell us that there's gonna be adult content and adult language. So again, they're gonna be talking about mortgages, they're gonna be talking about car payments, they're gonna be talking about insurance.

SPEAKER_07 14:57

Um I must circumcise again. You can you can encapsulate it in one sentence. These fucking bills, am I right?

SPEAKER_02 15:08

Yeah, that's it. That's it.

SPEAKER_07 15:10

That's adult content and adult language.

unknown 15:14

Yep. All right.

SPEAKER_07 15:16

We start out with Damon standing in front of the high tower host with three dragon riders, and uh, he's like, hey, the war's over. Come and kneel and pledge your allegiance to Reneira, or we'll just cook all of your fellas.

SPEAKER_02 15:32

Yeah, he's got three dragons, which beats all horses ever, like on the planet.

SPEAKER_07 15:38

I would like well, flying horse, maybe.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

Wait, a flying horse?

SPEAKER_07 15:43

Yeah, imagine if you had a flying horse.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

Do they have Pegasus here?

SPEAKER_07 15:47

No, but let's say.

SPEAKER_02 15:49

But why are we hypothetically when we can take three dragons?

SPEAKER_07 15:52

You got a flying horse, and the guy on the horse has a very large gun.

SPEAKER_02 15:56

Okay. The whole thing's on fire. Yeah, yeah, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn.

SPEAKER_07 16:03

Okay, so uh also I made a note here that the word allegiance is horrible to spell. It's allegories.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

So this one's in a BuzzFeed quiz. Which one is spelled incorrectly?

SPEAKER_07 16:15

Oh fuck, I was hearing allegiance until I got to this one.

SPEAKER_02 16:20

Okay, so uh I wrote square jaw. This boy's jaw was so it was SpongeBob Square.

SPEAKER_07 16:28

And his fate. Are we talking about Ormond?

SPEAKER_02 16:31

Square jaw.

SPEAKER_07 16:32

We're talking about Ormin. Okay. I was talking about uh Darren, the the boy who was sent, because Damon's like, he give me back uh your ward. And this this boy has the sharpest face of all the faces in this program.

SPEAKER_02 16:46

I don't think so. Like I don't think it is sharper than Amon's.

SPEAKER_07 16:50

Well, yeah, he's sharper in like two points.

SPEAKER_02 16:53

Yeah. So who is this kid? Supposedly Alison's kid, right?

SPEAKER_07 16:59

Yes, Alison's kid, and I guess Renera's half-brother? So Darren goes back with uh Damon uh and that's that. Then we get the then we get the tapestry, which tore a little bit at the end.

SPEAKER_02 17:17

Yeah, that was cool. The where it just kind of goes and kind of pulls apart and looks almost like wires, but it's the threads all pulling apart.

SPEAKER_07 17:24

Yeah. So Rainy's standing in her bedroom talking about being the king's daughter, really. Having a little moment, and then all of a sudden we hear Damon go. Yeah, Orman Ormond capitulated.

SPEAKER_02 17:38

But first you have to understand, she's standing there, she's she's looking mistily into the distance. I don't know what that means. She's like, the air is thick with ghosts. Happy ghosts, but you know. Okay, yeah, yeah, sure. Uh Orman surrendered.

SPEAKER_07 18:02

So also we got this boy, so she goes to see him and he doesn't say anything. Well, you gotta talk. You know, you're you could be dead. I didn't dead you. What do you think? And he just stares at her. And then all of a sudden.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

He's looking at her like I'm just a kid.

SPEAKER_07 18:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:17

Yeah. So they're gonna throw him into a chamber. I mean, there are worse things.

SPEAKER_07 18:22

We also hear him go ever so slightly. Uh, there's a little bit of a a tremble, uh, I guess. I don't know what you call that. Tremble, sure, audible tremble.

SPEAKER_02 18:33

Like a nervous laugh.

SPEAKER_07 18:34

Anyway, she heads to a goddamn meetings. You know, fucking meetings. Like, she goes to the meeting. Oh, we've got no money. Who knows where the money is? Well, it could be Ty Tyle Tyland Lannister might know. Um, well, he would have known, but he also would have told Lord Jasper, guess what? Both dead, damn it. Well, maybe not dead. We don't know where Thailand is. We assume he's dead because of the battle of the gullet. And then she's like, Well, I need to get my hat put on real good.

SPEAKER_02 19:02

I need a party because it's all about me. And I went, Oh, this feels really timely. So, hmm, okay, do you do everybody's starving, and she needs a party because she's the queen.

SPEAKER_07 19:19

Well, she claims it's to to confirm her legitimacy.

SPEAKER_02 19:23

Right.

SPEAKER_07 19:23

So the gun's coronation was shit. If I remember correctly, it was pretty fucking epic. There was a dragon in a building and people got trampled. It was pretty fun.

SPEAKER_02 19:36

Yeah, it was. There was, you know. There were some things that went down. I'm sure there was beef bowls of brown.

SPEAKER_07 19:46

Oh, yeah. Or some of the later meals that we might see might see. She also says that she's no longer dealing with the small console. She had a dragon stone because they all thought that they uh she she said that she was betrayed by them.

SPEAKER_02 19:58

I don't Okay, but hang on, before this. So after she so she's like, before that, she's like, This is I need the coronation, and Mysti is like, uh nah, that's not gonna go over well. We've got pirates running around, the greeneries are empty, what are we gonna do? And Randy gets this look on her face. She's like, if this is being queen, goodness. I take it back. I take it back. And then she's like, This is just the start of my fucking day.

SPEAKER_07 20:33

And oh, and they'll just they also discuss Eamon's whereabouts, and they discuss how he murdered the strongs, and Damon actually looks a little bummed. Yeah. Like, oh, that guy was pretty cool, he gave me food. Oh, and then he goes, Did you do you remember seeing like a witch or a maester of a sort? There, there was a woman. That's my Matt Smith, by the way.

SPEAKER_04 20:53

Oh, very well. Did they say anything about a witch?

SPEAKER_07 20:58

A maester of sorts? A little less swiny, maybe. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 21:02

Yeah. Love to have the workshop that, buddy.

SPEAKER_07 21:05

I'm not gonna try.

SPEAKER_02 21:06

It's not as good as your Tyrion. Oh, do it in Tyrion's voice.

SPEAKER_07 21:11

Did she say anything about a witch?

SPEAKER_04 21:16

Mummy, mom, mommy, mama, Louis.

SPEAKER_07 21:20

Anyway, they also mentioned how uh the rats have become uh uh uh an issue. Remember rat catchers getting hanged? That was a thing that happened.

SPEAKER_02 21:29

Yeah, and apparently not not long ago, because what, nobody stepped up to become a rat catcher in this amount of time?

SPEAKER_07 21:37

I mean, they could have put out a want ad.

SPEAKER_02 21:40

Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm thinking traveling rat catchers, you know, probably come through.

SPEAKER_07 21:46

Is that a skill or is that just something you do? Like it's my job right now, I'm doing this. Or are you like seasoned a rat catcher?

SPEAKER_02 21:55

I don't know. Would they have a union? The rat catcher's union?

SPEAKER_07 22:00

I don't know. It would be a guild under these circumstances, I reckon.

SPEAKER_02 22:03

Correct. Imagine. Yes, the rat catchers guild. Oh, that's how they found them all.

SPEAKER_07 22:13

This is the lot we have to hang on.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

Well, this was easy.

SPEAKER_07 22:16

Come on, you guys. We're going to a party.

SPEAKER_02 22:20

So um there was a rat on the tapestry. Do you remember?

SPEAKER_07 22:24

I do.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

Yes. I was like, why is there a rat? And then I was like, oh man. So as poor was Rainey not in and was there any scenes that she was not in in this episode?

SPEAKER_07 22:36

She was in.

SPEAKER_02 22:37

She was in every episode. This camera was frequently behind her as she walked. Frequently. So they were doing not a POV camera, but more of a follow cam. What do they call it?

SPEAKER_07 22:52

Third person camera.

SPEAKER_02 22:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 22:54

It was a over-the-shoulder kind of video gaming kind of yes, yes, like it was like an episode of House of the Dragon, the game.

unknown 23:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 23:04

Where you just do administrative shit for 60 minutes and bore the piss out of your podcasters. Wait, yes, she wasn't in the very first scene.

SPEAKER_02 23:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 23:14

Because that was Damon and Ormond Hightower and like a thousand soldiers and four dragons.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

Okay. But after that, but they talked about her, so they didn't pass the mech bell test.

SPEAKER_07 23:28

A new thing that Eileen has just made up.

SPEAKER_02 23:31

That's a good thing.

SPEAKER_07 23:32

Oh, I see you're from Tumbleton. Oh no, it's a shame. Your village. Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 23:38

I was like, Tumbleton, what the fob is the fuck is going on?

SPEAKER_07 23:43

That's where Hugh's wife's family is.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

Tinky Winky is happening.

SPEAKER_07 23:47

Hugh's wife's family is from Tumbleton. Do you not remember that?

SPEAKER_02 23:52

Oh my god, what in the Thomas the Tank Engine is happening? Tumbleton. Give me a break.

SPEAKER_07 24:00

What's the name of the place that Thomas the Tank Engine lives on? The island called is it Sodor or something stupid like that?

SPEAKER_02 24:07

Yeah, uh, the island of Sodor, yes. Sodor! I don't think Cheech Maron ever said that when he was wait, Cheech did the narration. He did for several years. Hey man, I'm gonna tell you a story. Wait a minute, was it that or Sunnytown Station? Maybe you haven't.

SPEAKER_07 24:28

Sonnytown Station was George Carlin.

SPEAKER_02 24:30

Yes. I think after he died, Cheech Marin took it over.

SPEAKER_05 24:34

Oh my god. I don't know. Anyway.

SPEAKER_02 24:37

I mean, who else would take over? Anywho, actually, Cheech Marin uh never smoked pot. I learned about that in their documentary. As she's walking from place to place, uh, she's just getting bombarded from all sides until she she's just like, we need more callow for candles. We need more flour for our bread. It's just like, oh my god, you fucking Disney NPCs, get the fuck out of the way. Just let her get where she needs to go.

SPEAKER_07 25:10

Sheep ended up becoming a really critical part of this episode. What do we do about the sheep?

SPEAKER_02 25:16

So she's going to see Alicent. And she's like, Where'd you hide the gold? She's like, What gold? You know, the gold. She's like, I didn't there's no uh I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. And Elaine's like, Yeah, you get out of here. We don't know what you're talking about. I don't want to stay here anymore. There's rats and I am unhappy always. I wanted to have chickens. They're talking, and she's talking about how Laris and Aegon are fucked. He's disfigured, and Rainey's like, don't care, still want to kill him.

SPEAKER_07 25:57

Declare him dead, and then if he tries to rise up, even with Laris' help, you can claim it's an imposter and just move on.

SPEAKER_02 26:04

Now, that should have been her first clue about imposters. Oh my god!

SPEAKER_07 26:11

Foreshadowing is a literary demonstration. What happens next? I lost track. Oh no, because my literal notes are something, something, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 26:23

Because some shit she's like, no, you have to stay here. And when Amon's found and the challenge is removed, she kind of ear quotes that verbally, removed, you can go free. But for now, you're here.

SPEAKER_07 26:37

So I'm supposed to rely on you capturing and killing my son.

SPEAKER_02 26:42

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 26:42

Cool, cool, cool.

SPEAKER_02 26:44

And Rainey goes, hmm.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

I wonder how that could possibly feel.

SPEAKER_05 26:50

Yeah. It's not like my kids are both dead. Right.

unknown 26:55

Are they both dead now?

SPEAKER_07 26:56

Remember uh Luke fell in the water? Luceris fell in the water and Jaceris got arrowed.

SPEAKER_02 27:03

That's right, in the water. Both of them in the water.

SPEAKER_07 27:06

I see that's the thing. You should probably stay away from water. Also, don't be on dragons. That seems to be a dangerous place, too. So she's walking through the the palace later on, having a discussion. Was it was she talking in the seria at this point, or was it someone else? I can't call.

SPEAKER_02 27:21

Was it Alinda? Have they talked about Alinda yet?

SPEAKER_07 27:24

She was talking in the seria about where Elinda was. She wanted to because Elinda's her personal handmaiden, and uh all of a sudden she starts hallucinating like Jace in the palace. And I'm like, it's gonna be one of those episodes.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

So Rainey's saying she wants to lie about finding Aegon there dead. Uh-huh. And she asks her to bring Oh, this is she's talking to Lorax? What's his name?

SPEAKER_07 27:54

Luthor. Sir Luthor, the the leader of the Knights Guard. Okie dokie. Whatever, King's Guard, I suppose, at this point, because she hasn't got her own.

SPEAKER_02 28:03

Wants him to bring back Joffrey.

SPEAKER_07 28:06

Her her other son, who has been warded off to someone else. Don't it's not it's not Joffrey Joffrey.

SPEAKER_02 28:14

I know, I know it's not. I know it's not.

SPEAKER_07 28:15

Do you remember when you have a name bias?

SPEAKER_02 28:19

Because don't you have name? Okay. Did you like ever date somebody and you're like, nah, you can never even like be friends with somebody who has that name because it just like the name just like uh I guess that's never been an issue for me. All right, well, uh okay. So then she catches up to Missy and they talk about uh the place, you know, they're because they're kind of standing there going, oh, we should remodel now that we've pulled all these tapestry downs. Should we really trust Allison about the gold? And what about Darren? And yeah, and this is where Rainey hallucinates. And she thinks she sees Jace walk past.

SPEAKER_07 28:56

Yeah. Um I just noticed what Mike put as the episode title, and I just want to point out that my kid has a shirt that says you you've added your last two e and it's a picture of a mouse with a big gun. Like a human hand and a gun. That's the coolest shirt.

SPEAKER_02 29:13

Oh my god. Let's Charles Charles Entertainment Cheese. Oh another.

SPEAKER_07 29:21

It's actually like a photorealistic mouse with a human hand and a and a like a revolver. You rat in your last TUI.

SPEAKER_02 29:29

I you know what? Fun fact, there's no actual rat in rat at Tue.

SPEAKER_07 29:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:35

Anyway.

SPEAKER_07 29:36

Um it's misleading because they put a mouse as the main character. Thanks, Pat, and a way to go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:42

So she thinks she thinks she sees Jace walk past and she gets pissed and she's like, Why shouldn't I just kill Darren? Why shouldn't I? Why shouldn't I? I shouldn't.

SPEAKER_07 29:49

I mean, by rights, I should have his head.

SPEAKER_02 29:51

I could. I could. And Missy's like, you could, but should you though? But you could. I mean they then start. This is when they switch to talking about ladies in waiting and having the staff questioned.

SPEAKER_07 30:06

Everybody that still works in the castle should be asked to see if they are uh if they have allegiance to high towers. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 30:14

Again, this feels very timely. Perhaps. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 30:22

I think under the circumstances there's a regime change. It's normal.

SPEAKER_02 30:26

Okay. So the uh the priest blesses her and she's like, hey, I need you to anoint me.

SPEAKER_07 30:33

Oh, it would have been great if he's like, damn it, we're all out of anointing oil. Oh I got his canola.

SPEAKER_02 30:42

We could press some grapes, we could squeeze some babies. Get some baby oil.

SPEAKER_07 30:48

You know, I feel like pressing a baby or two.

SPEAKER_02 30:51

Um squeeze some minerals. Um, maybe some castors.

SPEAKER_07 30:57

What the fuck is a caster anyway? Is it fish oil? I believe a castor is one of those spinny wheels on the underside of an office chair.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

Correct. Those are. I don't know what castor oil is. So that's what you use to oil to lube those up when they get dry. Castor oil. It's from castor beans. Because there's no way you would want to drink that fucking shit. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_07 31:21

It smells terrible. It's used in soaps, lubricants, break fluid, paints, dyes, coatings, plastic, waxes. Why would any none of that's food. None of that's food. None of that's food. No. But castor beans.

SPEAKER_02 31:35

What are anyway?

SPEAKER_07 31:36

It's a real thing.

SPEAKER_02 31:37

Welcome to Bean Talk. Bean Corner. Today, today on Bean Corner. Castor beans. I've never heard of them.

SPEAKER_04 31:48

Yeah, well, it looks like uh we're gonna discuss it ri Racinus Communis or the castor bean.

SPEAKER_02 31:54

It's a species of golly, I've never heard of those before.

SPEAKER_04 32:00

Yeah, yeah, you harvest the bean and then you you squeeze it, huh? Oh and you get oil that you don't use.

SPEAKER_07 32:08

Isn't that particular? Let's move on to the other show we were doing. That's much better than bean corner. Thank you, everybody. She's like, hey, listen, Agar might well be dead, and we may not have his body. And yes, this blonde chair sisters haven't had a gander at him, but listen, I've got dragons, and he's like, fuck your dragons, basically.

SPEAKER_02 32:41

I think he said it exactly like that, too. Amazing. At least that's how I heard it.

SPEAKER_07 32:46

He kind of tore into the whole concept of dragons. Yeah. Do not make an enemy of the faith, he says. And she's like, Well, now we know how you feel, fuck you.

SPEAKER_02 32:58

Yeah, pretty much put the Carlis and his sons to the table with Rainy. For dinner moment. Wait a minute. Is this dinner or is this lunch? This is lunch. Because later on they have dinner. This is her whole day. This is all the same day. Except there is sleep thing. Napping.

SPEAKER_07 33:20

She went to bed and then got up in the night and wandered into Damon's bed because she's called kind of so I think this might be dinner.

SPEAKER_02 33:29

Oh, okay. Maybe you've convinced me.

SPEAKER_07 33:33

Thank you. Did you it was the jingle that did it because I kept to it. So she's like, hey, thanks for eating here with me. And he's like, listen, I've decided to acknowledge my sons and I need you to legitimize them. And she's like, well.

SPEAKER_06 33:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 33:57

Uh well, I'm gonna we'll talk about that later. Does she give him an answer?

SPEAKER_07 34:04

No, not at dinner. If she gives him an answer in the hallway to the to the map room later on, and it's not a good answer. Anyways, this is awkward. Every meal in this show and in oh god, what the fuck? Game of Thrones was it's just like, well, we're eating. Who wants to make small talk awkwardly? Oh, it's my turn. Remember all those horrible things I did that you hate?

SPEAKER_02 34:30

Yes, it's always it's never just hey, how about them uh them horses? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 34:37

Do you see the the only person who could sit at him at a meal and not like make it really, really too totally awkward was Tyrion.

SPEAKER_02 34:44

No, he just made it awkward for everybody. Yeah, so everybody was equally awkward. That's what he would do. Yeah, it's a it's a gift.

SPEAKER_07 34:52

Very good. Um so after dinner, Rainy's wandering uh well, this is in the evening at 90 night.

SPEAKER_02 34:58

She gets up out of her bed night robe, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 35:01

Starts wandering the halls and and runs into Blayla standing there? Was that Bayla?

SPEAKER_02 35:08

I don't know. I don't remember. I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_07 35:11

It's just a girl standing, and I couldn't see her well because of the focus that this episode did, that the same as last episode.

SPEAKER_02 35:19

They were following her from behind again, right?

SPEAKER_07 35:20

Yeah, and she just sees I can't remember who it was. She just sees somebody, and I couldn't.

SPEAKER_02 35:26

No, because Baylor's not back yet. Remember, she asked if Baylor had come back yet.

SPEAKER_07 35:29

Was it uh I thought it was Bayla. Okay, was it? All right, she's just standing there in the hallway looking at her, and then she just walks on. Like, she just hallucinated her too. What the fuck? Then she goes and cuddles with Damon.

SPEAKER_02 35:41

Yeah, and that's where we have the weird music.

SPEAKER_07 35:43

It was weird music. There's a lot of weird music in this episode.

SPEAKER_02 35:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 35:47

And by my by my account, we are just about halfway through the episode, so no no one needs to panic. My gosh. Okay. We'll be done in four minutes.

SPEAKER_02 35:55

Alinda is there now. Uh, so she's helping her get dressed, and they're trying to decide on accessories. This was an unnecessary I mean, this whole thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. She's getting dressed for her anointing inauguration.

SPEAKER_07 36:07

No, no, she's not even doing that. She's fucking doing like oh yeah, meet and greet. She's holding court, you know.

SPEAKER_02 36:14

Holding court, yep, yep. She's like, should I wear a sword? No jewelry. And just as she gets up she gets up to look at the chain and realizes yes, that's when she stands up and she goes, it's that we've all known it, ladies. All of you who month monthly do that thing that you do. She stands up and you know what happened. You know what happened because it's happened. It's happened to you. You stand up and you go, Well, fuck. My day is now fucked. This means she now has to not just go in front of the peasants and be super chill, but she has to do it while having insane cramps. And this was the realism I kind of loved. Yeah, this would suck.

SPEAKER_07 37:12

She is visibly uncomfortable for the next uh batch of episode minutes, right?

SPEAKER_02 37:20

Because that's that's how things is, kids. Although this is a fantasy show.

SPEAKER_07 37:27

So why are we you know why are we including menstruation as part of it? Because that's a thing that happens to women.

SPEAKER_02 37:35

Well, it is, and our leads are women to human women.

SPEAKER_07 37:39

These people are humans, they're Targaryans, they're human, they're just fucked up.

SPEAKER_02 37:47

I don't think so. Aren't they they're a different race, aren't they? No, they're human.

SPEAKER_07 37:51

They're human. No, no, what? No, you can't just say no. Don't no no, they're human. They have been infused with the blood of dragons, but that doesn't mean that they're okay.

SPEAKER_02 38:05

See, that's what I'm saying. They got something special about them. They are not just human. Because she okay, Daenerys, girl walked out of the fire. Yeah, she's fireproof. Three baby dragons on her titties.

SPEAKER_07 38:19

She's still menstruated though.

SPEAKER_02 38:21

How do you know that?

SPEAKER_07 38:23

She sent me a letter. Dearest Spencer, boy howdy, my mencies are rough this month. I cannot wait for the next moon when I will have access to better cleaning supplies. Sincerely, Danny. P.S. I never wrote this. No, they're humanoid at least, and I assume that this is too much.

SPEAKER_06 38:46

Okay, it's always she's sitting at at uh court and uh they're discussing the sheep, and then they're discussing the rabbits that she suggests they should replace with sheep because they can't hunt.

SPEAKER_07 39:02

And then this woman named Sylvie comes up and says, Listen, late-stage capitalism has happened. Do you have an opinion about it? And she goes, Oh, we should have a banquet in the very next scene. Because the rich people have hoarded all of the grain and kept them in their storehouses while the poor have nothing. So Rainey says, We shall have a banquet. I wrote here in my notes later at a meeting. Rainey continues to enjoy her period.

SPEAKER_02 39:33

And she gets some tea for the cramps from which she ignores. Yeah. Yes. Well, she looks at it like eh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 39:42

It says shit floating in it. I don't like drinking shit.

SPEAKER_02 39:45

So it turns out Vela uh has come back. She had maybe that was it. Maybe she was coming back.

SPEAKER_07 39:49

Maybe it was it was probably uh Raina and not Vela. I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 39:53

So so she's like, well, send her back out and send Adam with her this time. The oh my god. The knighting scene.

SPEAKER_07 40:04

Everyone's in the map room. Sans map. Yet. Yes. Cersei's not alive yet. Elf and Hank and Adam are on the uh in the room. Hugh. Hugh, Hank. Thank you for saving me from the embarrassment of misnaming a fictional character. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_08 40:24

I never do that.

SPEAKER_07 40:27

And um well this we have a minor discussion about what you will style yourself when knighted.

SPEAKER_02 40:36

Yeah, I didn't know what that meant.

SPEAKER_07 40:39

Well, style is a way that you are addressed when you are when you're important. We don't have that problem. No like my style is you address me when I am in public at a function as the right honorable Sir Dr. Mr. Spencer. That's how it's done. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 40:58

Yes. The right honorable Dr. Mr. Spencer.

SPEAKER_07 41:02

Sir Dr. Mr. Spencer. Oh, thank you. Shoot. How did you have that? Oh, it was a couple weeks ago.

SPEAKER_02 41:08

I was gonna say, I don't think I have an updated card.

SPEAKER_07 41:10

King Prince Charles did it with purple hands. It was pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02 41:13

Gosh, that's so cool. I have no idea what you just said.

SPEAKER_05 41:21

It doesn't matter because there's all kinds of shit in my mouth.

SPEAKER_02 41:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 41:26

It's probably due for fun, you say.

SPEAKER_07 41:32

Sorry, that sounded like plop plops, didn't it? Anyway, Alpha's like, Targaryen, your grace? And she's like, oh fuck no. Oh no. Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 41:43

So he says he literally does the thing where he looks around the room and he's like, uh stairs. No.

SPEAKER_07 41:56

Um Sir Sir Off the Diamond. Oh wait, that's bad. Let me try again.

SPEAKER_02 42:07

We're like, so he looks to his left, he looks to his right, and he says, white.

SPEAKER_07 42:16

Good. Okay. Yeah. And Hank or Hank. Hugh. Hugh. See, I Hank Aaron was hammering Hank Aaron. So I can't Hugh the hammer. And she just straight up leave it in.

SPEAKER_02 42:35

She's Mike.

unknown 42:37

How dare you.

SPEAKER_02 42:39

Those Cheetos.

SPEAKER_07 42:40

Uh, okay. And then she says, Adam of Hull. And Adam goes, hmm. What about Valerian? Were you gonna do that? Did you not say that? Why didn't you say that?

SPEAKER_06 42:50

Mm-hmm. Whoopsie Daisy. Anyway, nighting happens. And then uh Alf. Did you notice Ulf does not go down easily?

SPEAKER_07 42:59

I thought he was afraid Damon was gonna get his he was gonna cut his head off.

SPEAKER_02 43:04

Oh, oh, okay. I hadn't thought of that.

SPEAKER_07 43:07

Honestly, I can't wait until Ulf gets his head cut off because he's kind of obnoxious. I'm getting tired of it. The hijinks have worn thin. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 43:15

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 43:16

That's just me.

SPEAKER_02 43:17

And knighting was very Arthurian for a fantasy novel.

SPEAKER_07 43:20

That's how they do it. I mean, that's how you you saw it when uh well maybe you didn't see it because it was a voiceover, but you heard the whole thing when uh the guy with the horns knights? The Baratheon. He knights the uh Dunk Squire. Remember that? No, not no, not his squire. His his buddy, uh, who used to be his brother's squire, I guess. I can't remember any of these people. Oh Appletons or whatever the hell they were. Glad to see uh Ben and your Cheetos to have a word with us, Mike. Sorry. After belching like that, golly.

SPEAKER_02 44:00

All right.

SPEAKER_07 44:01

At any rate, the banquet is meant to be for the nobles, we find out. She wants to do a noble thing. And then she has a moment in her room.

SPEAKER_02 44:12

But before that, we learned about Tumbleton.

SPEAKER_06 44:15

Oh, did that happen just now? Did I write that down?

SPEAKER_02 44:17

That's okay. Hugh catches up until that's right.

SPEAKER_07 44:21

He was like, oh, my wife uh left to go be with her brother in Tumbleton.

SPEAKER_02 44:25

I was like, Tumbleton? What in the Tinky Winky? She's like very insistent, and she's like, Do you know the kind of day I've had? You know, this Queen Dowager is not as much fun as the one on Down Abbey.

SPEAKER_07 44:41

Or at least I I still have now watched any of that program.

SPEAKER_02 44:44

Don't get attached to anybody.

SPEAKER_07 44:46

Well, this meet this meeting is is like the most conversational and um kind of thing that because Rainey is like I've been waiting so long to be queen. I've been waiting so long to be queen. I'm finally queen. Look what we had to do, we had to go through so much, so much sacrifice. Allison comes in, she's like, Hey, can you send my father's remains to Old Town so she he can be buried next to my mother? And Rainy goes, Yeah. And then she goes, Hey, can I ask you a question? How do you queen? Yeah. It's like she's like, You begged and pleaded and fought and killed, and people died, and you just be like, Hey, I'm not entirely sure how to do this.

SPEAKER_02 45:31

Yeah. It's so weird us being together here, right? Wow, imagine that. I thought for sure Rainey was gonna say, Will you be my advisor? Uh kind of happened. Yeah, yeah. And she's just like, Sometimes you have to make hard decisions. And Rainy's like, I get the struggle, but not me. And it's like, okay, we'll see. The dinner party.

SPEAKER_07 46:02

This is great. Everyone here is taking a vow to me, some later than others. Waka waka. Everyone laughs. Um they're all glazinger. Mm-hmm. A lot of ass kissing going on. Two in particular, whoever, I your grace. It's so nice to finally have been able to sniff your bottom.

SPEAKER_02 46:21

He had some wicked ass gems. They were huge. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 46:28

And then ding, ding, it's time for dinner. And it is a boiled rat and a bowl of brown.

SPEAKER_02 46:36

And some stuff that looked like grits, maybe.

SPEAKER_07 46:39

It looked to me, it looked like dirt with earthworms in it, honestly. It was fucking repulsive.

SPEAKER_02 46:47

Or as they say at the fancy restaurant downtown, $49. All right. That's all good.

SPEAKER_07 46:55

So, anyway, on her way out of the banquet hall, after she's told the wealthy folks that she's gonna send her gold cloaks in to raid their stockhouses and take stuff back. Take it back to the people. This little fella named Torrin Manderley stops her.

SPEAKER_02 47:12

Who is this guy? Did he win a contest to be in House of Dragons or something?

SPEAKER_03 47:15

I don't know who the fuck he is. And I don't know why he's significant. Mike knows. You might recognize him from some of the Harry Potter movies. He was Jacob Kowalski. Alright, I gotta go. In um the the tame your beast dragons thingies. Um Goldbergs. He played Marvin Goldberg that did beat Uncle.

SPEAKER_02 47:36

Oh, I didn't I didn't watch the Goldbergs, and I didn't uh did I only saw the first uh Fantastical Beasts, and that was a long time ago. So anyway.

SPEAKER_07 47:45

So anyway, he's like, did you want them to know that you actually were the reason that the blockade happened? Hmm? And then she just kind of goes and the scene ends, which great, thanks.

SPEAKER_02 47:57

Damon approves of the things that she said and did. There's plucky music, so you know this these scenes aren't so serious, I guess. And Rainey is sending him out to get more houses and more gold.

SPEAKER_07 48:13

Yeah, he's sending them specifically to the Vale because she's like, the Vale Lady Erin promised us a dragon and she hadn't delivered, so maybe she'll pay us in coin. And then she's like, we also go to all the great houses and get their tribute as well.

SPEAKER_02 48:28

Yeah, and Damon's like, we have six dragons, we could have the whole fucking world, basically.

SPEAKER_07 48:34

So and she's like, This is nothing. Let's do what we gotta do first to make our city run, and then we'll talk about the greater place.

SPEAKER_02 48:43

And the funniest thing is as he's walking, okay. So, okay, so there's a whole scene where they're talking in Valerian. My take on this is somebody spent a great deal of time coming up with this language and said, Okay, we're gonna use the fuck out of it in this at least one episode. Yeah, so they have a whole conversation in Valerian, which A does not further the plot, B is not interesting, and C probably took them a really long time to learn, and I feel bad for them because it's it should have at least been something interesting.

SPEAKER_07 49:15

Well, it is kind of cool, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:18

But in like a like a Klingon sort of way, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_07 49:23

But well, here's the funny thing about uh High Valerian is that it is a real language, it is one of two languages created by a fella called David Peterson. He also created the Dothraki language.

SPEAKER_02 49:40

See? But he's very, very proud of it. And he should be.

SPEAKER_07 49:43

It's literally his job to make languages, which is fucked up.

SPEAKER_02 49:47

You know what? I know somebody who for that that job would be perfect, it would be absolute perfection. This person would absolut this they would thrive anyway. Um so he just as they're wrapping up dismissive no as they're wrapping up, he's like walking away, and from this from the assigned you here, you still have to kill Darren. Just look at the I wonder if I'm like, I wonder if he just threw that in, they just left it.

SPEAKER_07 50:19

I bet you it was a throw it in there. So she's standing in Darren's room, staring at him while he's sleeping. Looking at his bird carving, and I wonder at this point, she's like, Why would he do that?

SPEAKER_02 50:32

Why was the bird carving some sort of telltale sign?

SPEAKER_03 50:37

I don't know. Maybe that he was just artistic and she saw him as a person instead of a threat to the throne. That's really good, Mike. That's really good. Supposed to be his her half-brother, so you know.

SPEAKER_02 50:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:51

I like that.

SPEAKER_02 50:52

Cut to Rainey and Missy in a carriage.

SPEAKER_07 50:57

Yes, heading down to the foot of the Sept, and yeah, I think.

SPEAKER_02 51:02

She's enraged and she's gonna get revenge, and they get there, and the villagers are at the Renfrew, and they're all cheering for her, yay! And so she goes up to the wagon and stands on it to give a big speech. I was waiting for her to get shot with an arrow. Just just just clip her ear, um, just enough to get the sympathy of the people.

SPEAKER_07 51:23

She gets good god, I really didn't want to talk about that. And at the banquet, it turns out they had staged uh thing, and you can see like Renera's just grinning up a storm, and everyone looks really nervous, and then it never happens because uh well the rats show up then so she's handing out food from the wagon to the villagers.

SPEAKER_02 51:52

Okay, this is fine. At this point, I realized I had heard that there was a twist in this episode, and I kept waiting for it.

SPEAKER_07 52:03

Did you? What is it? Yeah, what's a twist? What's going on?

SPEAKER_02 52:07

There isn't one. Listener, listen to me. There's fucking nothing. Well, I wouldn't c I would it wasn't a it was not a twist of consequence at all. At all. And I saw this three times in my feeds today to the point where I'm like, stop sharing me shit about the dragon.

SPEAKER_07 52:27

I don't want spoilers. What what could have been the I'm still hold on, this is this is frustrating to me because I don't think there was a well, there is a twist. It's a dumb twist. It's a dumb twist. I think the thing that's more significant happens when Corliss comes up to her in the next scene. That's bigger, that's more impactful to me uh than the scene following it. So uh Renier says uh she's walking through the palace and Corless comes up to her and says, Listen, I understand that you just um you just got done knighting all those fellas and you referred to Adam as Hull and not a Valerian. What's your fucking deal? Uh she's like, listen, again, uh day two, lot going on. Now's not the best time because born a certain way and all that shit. It's it's an issue.

SPEAKER_02 53:24

Basically, Corless has like stood up for her, but she can't promote him because of optics, basically.

SPEAKER_07 53:31

Yeah. Uh but she would under different circumstances, and then she's he goes off. Oh, yeah. Hey, both of your kids were bastards. First, he's quiet, and then he starts shouting it. Everyone is stopped dead, and uh it's all I just wrote was oof with 13 O's. Pretty interesting, shouty thing that Corless does there. Again, we get nothing out of it.

SPEAKER_08 53:59

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 54:00

And then the this is where the thing happens.

SPEAKER_02 54:03

Helena's in the gods wood. We find out.

SPEAKER_07 54:06

Probably looking for a chicken.

SPEAKER_02 54:08

Whatever. Looking for a chicken. She tells uh Rainey tells Allie that Darren's in the castle and that she's gonna send him north to the wall. She's not gonna kill him, but she's gonna send him north to the wall. He's gonna take the black and he's gonna keep his life and he'll never return. And she's like, and for that I should say thank you. This poor kid has been fucked up a lot, and you're gonna fuck him up more.

SPEAKER_07 54:32

I especially like the fact that she said he was warded off as an infant. I haven't seen him for five years, I barely know the boy. Like, then who the fuck cares? He wasn't your kid to begin with, he was just a spawn that you gave up.

SPEAKER_02 54:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 54:47

I mean, if you truly cared about the boy, he would never have been given up.

SPEAKER_02 54:51

So Rainey and Allie are explaining Darren, uh explaining his role to him, and I thought, has this kid said anything?

SPEAKER_07 55:01

Up to this point, no. No. Well, it's just Rhineera at this point, also.

SPEAKER_02 55:06

Right, and he won't talk to Rainey.

SPEAKER_07 55:09

No.

SPEAKER_02 55:10

And Alison comes in and she looks at Darren, and Darren looks at her, and Rainey catches on, she's like, wait a minute. Dun dun dun. This isn't Darren. They made me do it. They made me do it.

SPEAKER_06 55:27

He swore. So Ormin.

SPEAKER_07 55:30

Orman has deceived Rhaenyra. That's the twist, that's the plot twist that you got. You're gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 55:40

And um, yeah. Yeah. She's like, burn all the high tower tapestries, burn it all.

SPEAKER_07 55:49

And then at the very last second, a dragon tender comes in and says, Listen, the High Tower host, instead of going home, sacked Tumbleton, and there's a dragon within the city gates.

SPEAKER_02 55:59

And then taking Tumbleton.

SPEAKER_07 56:01

So they took they took Tumbleton. Oh, and then R uh Renier stares at the fire for a bunch of mil moments, and I'm like, end the scene, end the scene, end the scene, and the scene, end the scene.

SPEAKER_02 56:14

All I could start thinking about were dragon tenders, and I was thinking we could dip them in ranch.

SPEAKER_07 56:19

Yes. Or honey. Honey's really good on chicken nuggets.

SPEAKER_02 56:24

Um, but on dragon tenders, do you think? I don't know. I think you want something spicy.

SPEAKER_07 56:28

It probably tastes like chicken that you dropped in the propane.

SPEAKER_02 56:32

Well, maybe. Um, Rainy wants to burn it all, but basically that's gonna kill her own people in Tumbleton. Yeah. So um maybe don't so again she goes on a whole Valerian rant. Then they burn the banners. How do we sleep while the banner's burning?

SPEAKER_07 56:51

Boom, boom, boom. There's a midnight oil reference, youngsters. The one time those those Australians were famous for like a hot minute in 1988.

SPEAKER_02 57:05

Oh, yeah. Australians had a moment. Men at work. Well, the rebel cow. What was the one? Uh, she drives me crazy. What was that? Human cannibals?

SPEAKER_07 57:18

Uh fine young cannibals, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 57:19

Fine Young Cannibals, that's what it was.

SPEAKER_07 57:21

Uh weird.

SPEAKER_01 57:23

Crazy.

SPEAKER_07 57:26

They had a song called Good Thing, but uh because the guy's voice was such shit, it sounded like he was saying tube steak.

SPEAKER_02 57:38

What a hard you got on. Oh, that's like that song like a G6. I always hear like a cheese stick.

SPEAKER_06 57:46

Yeah, cheese stick. Nice.

SPEAKER_02 57:49

Anyway, that's the show, gang! Oh my god. Mike, did we miss anything?

SPEAKER_03 57:56

Nope, it was a pretty uh boring life in the day of episode. You can say that again. It was a boring kind of life in the day of kind of episode. I didn't mean it literally. Woo!

SPEAKER_02 58:09

I did. I wanted to hear it again.

SPEAKER_07 58:12

I like it when Mike talks.

SPEAKER_02 58:15

Uh, we'll do a little after their episode things. We said some things during this episode that we're throwing at the end. Thank you so much for listening, listener. Uh, let us know you listen. Try it again. RoyalHighnesspod at gmail.com. Just send us. For God's sakes, even if you don't have anybody like that, so let me actually get a discord. I can't run the Discord.

SPEAKER_07 58:37

I don't have time for any more shit.

SPEAKER_02 58:41

I want to thank our producer Mike. Thanks, Mike.

SPEAKER_02 58:52

SPEAKER_02 59:44

Hang on. Hang on. I just noticed Michael's t-shirt.

SPEAKER_07 59:51

I can't properly see it.

SPEAKER_02 59:53

It looks like Is the back on the back? Mike. What? No! The back needs to be on the back, and the sleeves need to have like the measurements on. I'm sorry, listeners. Mike, you can put this at the end if you want, but um okay. This is these okay. This is the cover and the color. They're called peachy folders, and we had them as kids, and I actually folders peachy folders. He has a t-shirt with the covers on the peachy folder.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:28

Mike, do you buy things that we talk about a lot? That's disturbing. I'm I'm worried if I start mentioning certain things.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:36

I did this on purpose.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:43

I was so disappointed. I'm so disappointed though that the back doesn't have the the back of the peachy because the the back of the peachy was the um okay, let me see if I can remember. So the front here has your tennis player, football player, and on the bottom there's a baseball. No, it's track runners. Okay, so they've got the baton. They're they're running relay. Then on the back side, there was a girl on a ski lift, baseball player, basketball player.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:17

Are we gonna check to see if you're right? Oh I'm gonna Google back of peachy folder.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:24

Okay, and on the inside of the peachy folder, which was cool because the the the sleeves weren't on the bottom. Like when you put stuff in a bottom folder, like a folder where the pockets are on the bottom, things will fall out all the time.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:36

My Wordley Wardington. There are these three images on the back of a Pichy folder. There is a woman on a ski lift, a basketball player, and a baseball player. Except it's really it's batter and catcher, and then a shooter of basketball and a defender, plus one guy standing in the back going, you got it, buddy. I don't know what you're doing.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:05

You can imagine, oh my god, because these were made of um like heavy cardboard, like a manila folder kind of cardboard. And so you could write on them easily with a ballpoint pen or pencil. You can imagine the captions on these things too. Holy bucket.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:23

Every single person had a fart cloud coming out of their butt. It's so people were so creative.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:30

Anyway. Yes. Thank you. Okay, you can put that at the end, Mike. Oh my god. The other day, I had this as again something you can throw at the end, Mike. Sorry.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:41

The whole episode is the end of the episode, basically.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:44

The whole episode's only 10 minutes long, everything else is at the end. Um Rainy has a bad day.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:49

Goodbye. Here are our jokes 60 minutes later.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:55

Oh fuck, no, I forgot what I was gonna tell you.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:58

Son of a bitch, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, it's my fault. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:04

I don't remember what were we talking about?

SPEAKER_07 1:03:05

We were talking about I Stewie Griffin is basically Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:12

So I'm watching this podcast, and you know, I kind of will just throw on whatever YouTube will feed me, whatever, while I'm doing something else. And all of a sudden I'm like, is that Tina? For Bob's Burgers. And I look up and I'm like, it's a it's just a it's just a guy scientist. He sounds exactly like Tina.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:36

Well, it's funny because Tina Melcher is voiced by a guy.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:40

I know, I know Tina.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:41

And he he's just he doesn't modify his voice at all. No, he just talks. It's perfect.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:48

I love Tina. She's I love her.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:51

Okay. So okay, uh sidetrack. This one can definitely go at the end, Mike. I am tired of performative eating or dining, I should say. I am tired of seeing like if you go to a restaurant and six people come to your table and apply a steak to your plate, and then apply a layer of things to your steak and a layer on top of that. I want to punch everyone involved. If someone comes to my table and dumps out a wine glass of pasta and then pours some ketchup on it, I'm going to punch everyone involved. That's not what restaurants are for. You go to a restaurant so that you can get a meal you don't have to fucking make. It's not about having a show. Oh, that salt bay, especially the little man. I want to punch all these. That steak is inedible. It looks horrible. It's shoe leather with salt on it. You wouldn't fucking eat that. You wouldn't serve it to your dog. That stuff isn't food, it's a dance. And I didn't pay to get a dance, I paid to have dinner. So get that shit out of my face and off my internet. Grant is over. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
