WEBVTT 00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:03.660 Hey there, pants people! We've been doing a lot 00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:05.000 of talking lately about the upcoming Vermont 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.360 Gaming and Anime Expo. You know, wanting to inform. 00:00:07.780 --> 00:00:11.259 But, uh, we're idiots. Old Steven here, hey Steven, 00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:13.560 doesn't even know what month it is. I'm sorry, 00:00:13.619 --> 00:00:15.439 Steven. So rather than us telling you about the 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.539 Expo, we figured you should hear it all from 00:00:17.539 --> 00:00:19.679 the mind behind the magic. So let me introduce 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.739 you all to Avon. Avon, how you doing? Hey guys! 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.940 I am fantastic and even better now to be here 00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:31.050 with both of you and everybody listening. How's 00:00:31.050 --> 00:00:35.609 everyone? We're really excited about what's coming 00:00:35.609 --> 00:00:39.670 up. Yes, yes. We are definitely thrilled as well. 00:00:39.789 --> 00:00:42.950 And just a little bit about myself, because people 00:00:42.950 --> 00:00:45.270 are probably wondering, you know, who is this 00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:49.009 person and why is she here? I moved to Vermont 00:00:49.009 --> 00:00:54.439 about five years ago. I just haven't personally 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.100 seen a lot of events in this area that represent 00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:00.659 the video game community. There are a couple 00:01:00.659 --> 00:01:03.740 of smaller anime events, but also I haven't been 00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:07.659 to anything that had a certain type of magic 00:01:07.659 --> 00:01:10.099 to it. And we really are hoping to bring that 00:01:10.099 --> 00:01:15.340 to Burlington, Vermont. Hell yeah. I know that 00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:17.659 the community would also appreciate if we were 00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:20.439 able to get the attention of some larger companies. 00:01:20.579 --> 00:01:22.840 Like if we had representation from Crunchyroll 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.480 or some other big video game developers, it would 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.219 be so exciting. And I know that everybody that 00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:32.379 lives in this general area would just be thrilled 00:01:32.379 --> 00:01:35.359 if we got some representation. And that's very, 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.439 very important to us to be able to put on an 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.299 event where we do get some representation here 00:01:41.299 --> 00:01:45.650 in Vermont and New Hampshire areas. Even bringing 00:01:45.650 --> 00:01:52.409 big nerd vibes to Burlington. Yes, yes, yes. 00:01:53.329 --> 00:01:56.370 So thankfully, we already have some cool stuff 00:01:56.370 --> 00:02:00.030 coming, but I won't get into those details until 00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:03.909 the next episode. But big things are coming for 00:02:03.909 --> 00:02:08.710 sure. Awesome. Where can people find out more 00:02:08.710 --> 00:02:12.939 about the Vermont Anime and Gaming Expo?

I 00:05:22.810 --> 00:05:26.970 just finished up Labor Day weekend in the culinary 00:05:26.970 --> 00:05:32.850 world, so I'm going to get a little drunk.

We're going to 00:05:38.050 --> 00:05:40.810 talk about an episode. When this comes out. No, 00:05:40.910 --> 00:05:42.610 wait. You're right. Because the next week after 00:05:42.610 --> 00:05:45.029 when this comes out will be Jeremy Wolf's 40th 00:05:45.029 --> 00:05:46.829 birthday. Oh, yeah. That's cool, though.

So if you're out there in 00:05:50.970 --> 00:05:53.850 this world, wish Jeremy Wolf a happy 40th. I 00:05:53.850 --> 00:05:56.129 think it's like the week and like six days after 00:05:56.129 --> 00:05:59.000 this comes out. Which, again, you know, podcast 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:00.420 is limited. This comes out, what, on the 8th? 00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:04.560 I think 7th? Oh, man. I'm not prepared to make 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.839 that kind of judgment. 8th. 8th. You heard it 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.540 here, folks. You heard it here. 8th.

I was talking with Captain the other 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.860 day, and we were just catching up and whatnot, 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:31.000 and he was like, yeah, I was at some party with 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.100 some young bucks, whatever, some 20 -somethings, 00:07:35.100 --> 00:07:38.519 and he was like, they were talking and wanted 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.810 to... they wanted to drink and captain was like 00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:44.069 well yeah i'll drink you know what i mean you 00:07:44.069 --> 00:07:46.230 can't keep up with me but i'll drink and so he 00:07:46.230 --> 00:07:47.910 starts to tell me about all the drinking they're 00:07:47.910 --> 00:07:51.829 doing um and he's like yeah first i drank a um 00:07:51.829 --> 00:07:56.009 a six pack of some domestic um beer and i was 00:07:56.009 --> 00:07:58.870 like oh yeah you know it's that's not nothing 00:07:58.870 --> 00:08:00.769 you know what i mean that's that's a lot of and 00:08:00.769 --> 00:08:04.089 then he goes yeah and then i had 10 or 12 shots 00:08:04.089 --> 00:08:08.889 jesus christ Holy shit.

I think these kids 00:08:15.589 --> 00:08:19.750 got the last laugh. Because he woke up and is 00:08:19.750 --> 00:08:23.189 now the proud owner of two kittens and a cat. 00:08:24.230 --> 00:08:27.449 And a cat tree. What? I guess.

He thought that you 00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:37.019 specifically, Dave, would enjoy that story. The 00:08:37.019 --> 00:08:39.460 captain is just a D &D character in real life. 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.139 And it's so good. Oh, congrats, man.

Yep. 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.840 So aside from that, seems like he's doing well. 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.919 Hell yeah. Now I know to never go drinking with 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.799 a captain because he'll pass them on. It's the 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.440 way. It's the ritual. Oh, yeah. It's like. It's 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.120 like a ring style. You get a VHS, you watch it, 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.639 and then you wake up with three more cats. Oh, 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:11.600 God. That is a true horror flick. All right. 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.559 Speaking of stuff you can drink, you know that 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.700 two -thirds of us around here are coffee fans. 00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:23.570 And so I have some cool, fun, interesting, exciting 00:09:23.570 --> 00:09:26.570 news. Oh, I bet. We have our first affiliate. 00:09:26.970 --> 00:09:31.230 Affiliation? Affiliatron. I like that. I like 00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:34.110 that one. Affiliatron. Nailed it. So our friends 00:09:34.110 --> 00:09:37.129 at Treasure Grounds are making some wonderful 00:09:37.129 --> 00:09:39.909 coffee. I have a bag here that they sent us. 00:09:41.649 --> 00:09:45.450 Mail time, baby. Wait, wait, wait. Shut up. Shut 00:09:45.450 --> 00:09:49.129 your mouth. Firehouse! It's been a while.

A couple of exciting things about the 00:10:02.549 --> 00:10:08.259 Treasure Grounds coffee is, one, it's... small 00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:13.179 local roasted sort of thing um i i grabbed i 00:10:13.179 --> 00:10:16.139 asked for this one because it's a micro lot which 00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:18.000 is a word that i learned like just a couple of 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.240 weeks ago it basically means that like the roaster 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.299 selects not just a specific farm but a specific 00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:28.919 like part of the field where these beans come 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.159 from. It usually means that the roaster has a 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.379 really good relationship and a really good idea 00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:37.320 of like the terroir of the region and the farm. 00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:41.779 So, you know, it's really like interesting and 00:10:41.779 --> 00:10:47.840 well -selected sort of beans even. And fun, special 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.169 thing, every one of these bags. Comes with a 00:10:51.169 --> 00:10:54.549 D20 inside. Oh, that's actually cool. Nice. That's 00:10:54.549 --> 00:10:57.549 actually pretty cool. We've been following Paradox 00:10:57.549 --> 00:11:02.070 Dice on Instagram for a while. They are a husband 00:11:02.070 --> 00:11:05.169 -wife team. Oh, give me that dice. So Paradox 00:11:05.169 --> 00:11:07.889 Dice has been making dice for a while. Nice. 00:11:08.009 --> 00:11:11.029 And now they're starting Treasure Grounds Coffee, 00:11:11.289 --> 00:11:14.350 putting dice in it. And later this fall, they're 00:11:14.350 --> 00:11:17.149 going to start to partner with maybe some of 00:11:17.149 --> 00:11:19.879 your other favorite... You know, small batch 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.720 dice creators. Nice. That you can find on Instagram. 00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:28.419 Nice. And put their die in coffee bags.

Lots of 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.600 exciting tech news going on in the back room 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.620 of the Fantasy Pants editing suite. Yeah. You 00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:11.399 want to tell us about what you got cooking? I 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.519 just upgraded my shit. Yeah. I went to the dark 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.220 side. I got a Mac. Gross. I know. I know. But 00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:24.899 for anybody who is an audiophile, is that the 00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:26.019 term? That's the right term. Yeah, that's the 00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:31.960 one. Audiotron. I'm now diving headfirst into 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.379 learning Logic Pro. It's a lot, but it's so fucking 00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:38.049 awesome. Damn. I love it. I love it. I think 00:14:38.049 --> 00:14:39.970 you said earlier that this is probably the first 00:14:39.970 --> 00:14:42.309 episode you're going to edit on the new digs. 00:14:42.929 --> 00:14:47.610 Thanks for the pressure, man. I bet it sounds 00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:50.830 like shit. I've seen, I've heard a little bit 00:14:50.830 --> 00:14:53.549 of your, you know, the updated quality of this 00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:55.509 thing, and it's actually pretty damn incredible. 00:14:55.649 --> 00:14:58.610 Well, no, I mean, that's not, that doesn't come 00:14:58.610 --> 00:15:01.149 from the... Oh, really? From the software, yeah. 00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:03.840 Software is software. That just comes from getting 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.120 smarter. That just comes from learning and growing. 00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:08.399 It's all magic to me, man. I have no idea what's 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.240 going on over there. Yeah, so the pants people 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.460 know what the hell David's talking about. I've 00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:15.419 decided to go back and start remixing all the 00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:18.139 old songs with what I know now and what I have 00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:20.679 learned since writing those songs. It's night 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.759 and fucking day. Yeah, the little bit that we 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.120 heard so far, excellent. Yeah. Excellent. Soul, 00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:29.360 baby. As if you thought it couldn't get any better. 00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:32.580 So keep an eye out for those. So while the software 00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:34.639 upgrade is great and it's wonderful, that has 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.940 a lot more to do with workflow and that kind 00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:40.179 of stuff than the actual quality. Gotcha, gotcha, 00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:42.559 gotcha. It's what you do with it that makes the 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.919 quality. That's what she said. No one was taking 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:50.440 it. I had to. No, it was just dead silent. Everyone 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.080 thought about it. No one went for it. Love a 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:59.429 good hardware joke. But that efficient workflow 00:15:59.429 --> 00:16:02.250 gives you more time to do more stuff, right? 00:16:02.529 --> 00:16:07.830 Yeah. In theory, yeah. Yeah. Like some editing 00:16:07.830 --> 00:16:09.590 stuff, maybe? Maybe. What are you getting at, 00:16:09.649 --> 00:16:16.590 Steven? I'm just fucking with you. Yeah, no. 00:16:17.629 --> 00:16:22.549 I am working on opening up my editing services 00:16:22.549 --> 00:16:25.659 and my audio services. So if any pants people 00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:28.700 out there looking to start a podcast, or you 00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:29.980 know anybody that's looking to start a podcast, 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.059 or maybe they want some music mixed up, let me 00:16:34.059 --> 00:16:36.799 know.

Get the segue 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:16.240 thing going. Business. I want to talk about this 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:20.059 last arc. Oh, yes, the last arc. Yes, yes, yes, 00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:24.140 yes, yes. Yeah, like why you decided to delete 00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:27.119 all of the battles and how it was supposed to 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.799 really go in the book and what you changed. This 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.259 is really fun. This is really fun because let 00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:34.200 me just tell you what happens in the book and 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:35.720 then we'll kind of get into it. So in the book, 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.079 basically what will happen is you'll probably 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:40.079 hear rumors of some strange happenings, mysterious 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.099 deaths happening in the world of Holory and the 00:18:43.099 --> 00:18:44.680 city of Yanito. Or actually, there's no real 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:46.180 world in the book, but you know what I mean. 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.339 It's the... Holleray is kind of the region. Union 00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:50.920 is the city. So you go to that area through the 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.400 Citadel. And as you're approaching, you happen 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:55.460 to notice that a bunch of fog is covering over 00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:57.299 the city. And you go back and it kind of disappears 00:18:57.299 --> 00:19:01.160 very quickly. And you see people are just kind 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:03.079 of acting sort of strange. But, like, there are 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.099 dead bodies around. No one seems to be acknowledging, 00:19:05.299 --> 00:19:07.059 like, what just happened. Just lying around? 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.460 People have just died. So the idea is this. When 00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:15.910 you're over there, people are kind of... everyone 00:19:15.910 --> 00:19:17.710 except for you is forgetting in the book you 00:19:17.710 --> 00:19:19.690 don't forget when the mist comes you see the 00:19:19.690 --> 00:19:21.170 deaths happen you see things happening but everyone 00:19:21.170 --> 00:19:22.650 else seems to kind of like forget about it because 00:19:22.650 --> 00:19:24.769 a curse doesn't affect outside people only affect 00:19:24.769 --> 00:19:27.470 people from the city i thought that was cool 00:19:27.470 --> 00:19:28.890 and all but i really want to change it because 00:19:28.890 --> 00:19:30.529 i think it's fun to have the whole like why is 00:19:30.529 --> 00:19:32.609 the whole world being super weird about this 00:19:32.609 --> 00:19:34.450 situation but i think it's more fun to be like 00:19:35.069 --> 00:19:37.650 what just happened you found the only thing that 00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:40.690 could be more frustrating yes exactly yeah uh 00:19:40.690 --> 00:19:42.829 you know take it to the next level crank it up 00:19:42.829 --> 00:19:45.549 baby uh but yes so so so you're going through 00:19:45.549 --> 00:19:47.109 and basically in the book it's kind of funny 00:19:47.109 --> 00:19:48.349 because you're investigating all these things 00:19:48.349 --> 00:19:51.569 and you find out that eventually as you're investigating 00:19:51.569 --> 00:19:53.930 people you find a baduk hall and you meet some 00:19:53.930 --> 00:19:55.730 old men pin baduk and you have to help them do 00:19:55.730 --> 00:19:58.150 their game uh they are not young he young he 00:19:58.150 --> 00:19:59.970 comes up later in the arc but is an important 00:19:59.970 --> 00:20:03.049 character because he was just like in this the 00:20:03.049 --> 00:20:06.410 kind of main sort of a conspirator behind the 00:20:06.410 --> 00:20:08.970 erasure of an important person named daewon ha 00:20:08.970 --> 00:20:10.730 who was a magistrate that did a lot of important 00:20:10.730 --> 00:20:14.029 things for the city but those things were essentially 00:20:14.029 --> 00:20:16.589 like erased all these years ago and given over 00:20:16.589 --> 00:20:18.750 to the queen in this case it wasn't queen jimmy 00:20:18.750 --> 00:20:20.930 it was queen jimmy's mother the former queen 00:20:20.930 --> 00:20:22.589 but i mixed things up because i wanted the whole 00:20:22.589 --> 00:20:25.309 nine years ago plot basically no sholey in the 00:20:25.309 --> 00:20:28.089 book no nine years ago no arathlon uh daewon 00:20:28.089 --> 00:20:31.960 ha was actually the main villain. The Gwishin 00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.420 was Daewon Ha. I just want to take the book's 00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:36.599 mystery and essentially create it again, but 00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.799 just add another layer to it. That's sweet. Yeah, 00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:40.279 and then I had Young Gi do the whole Bodak thing 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:42.079 because I like the idea of the characters, but 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.480 with, you know, all these new characters to show, 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:46.000 like, getting a lot of exploration, all the past 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:49.160 star, Hyronix, you know, I wanted to kind of... 00:20:49.730 --> 00:20:51.390 consolidate some of the characters in the arc 00:20:51.390 --> 00:20:54.230 a bit so sometimes i miss that like really simple 00:20:54.230 --> 00:20:56.490 part of dnd where something like a bada game 00:20:56.490 --> 00:20:58.910 can be like a quest of its own yeah yeah i mean 00:20:58.910 --> 00:21:01.970 yeah yeah it's like yeah oh help these two old 00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:05.390 guys and their bada game it's like i don't know 00:21:05.390 --> 00:21:08.970 man like people just died i think we have something 00:21:08.970 --> 00:21:11.750 a little more important to take care of than 00:21:11.750 --> 00:21:16.599 this bada game But yeah, no, it's a solid arc. 00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:18.119 It's one of my favorites when I first read the 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.180 book. I like the concept of, and immediately 00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:21.839 when I read it, I had the idea of what if they 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:24.039 lose memories too? Because that's so fun and 00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:25.960 freaky that this, you know, this supernatural 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.559 entity that's super powerful is causing mass 00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.819 memory wipes throughout the city. And then I 00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:34.019 realized how much, honestly, I didn't plan on 00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:36.079 it. I just realized how well that connected to 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:39.349 everything going on with Arathelon. because way 00:21:39.349 --> 00:21:41.930 back at the start of this campaign, I think we 00:21:41.930 --> 00:21:43.609 just didn't really plan in enough about your 00:21:43.609 --> 00:21:46.069 father as Zebulon. And so when I kind of finally 00:21:46.069 --> 00:21:47.710 realized I want to do something with your father, 00:21:47.809 --> 00:21:51.289 it hit me that I'd already missed too many opportunities 00:21:51.289 --> 00:21:54.089 to talk about him or hint at him. And so it was 00:21:54.089 --> 00:21:56.150 like, well, this guy, it's weird if this guy 00:21:56.150 --> 00:21:58.309 even exists, right? And then it hit me like, 00:21:58.309 --> 00:22:01.210 wait. What if, wink, wink, he does not? Essentially 00:22:01.210 --> 00:22:04.150 doesn't. Yes. And that's kind of what slowly 00:22:04.150 --> 00:22:07.910 created the idea of the erased person, which 00:22:07.910 --> 00:22:09.769 I liked because it hinted at the idea that the 00:22:09.769 --> 00:22:11.809 Crystal Network can do a lot more than bridging 00:22:11.809 --> 00:22:15.029 worlds, which is a huge plot point going forward. 00:22:15.250 --> 00:22:17.549 And you get to get rid of our strongest ally. 00:22:17.990 --> 00:22:22.589 That's true. Huge for you. Great for me. Awesome. 00:22:23.250 --> 00:22:27.160 Awesome for me. Because things are, if you didn't 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.200 catch from that last episode, folks, about to 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.200 get even darker in this show, as always. I always 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.160 had in my mind that after the halfway point, 00:22:34.299 --> 00:22:36.940 which to me was the episode 100, the battle with 00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:38.279 Ozen, all the stuff with the Shrine of Storms, 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.200 after that point, things are going to take a 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:42.400 very dark turn in the narrative, and we're going 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:46.880 to continue that turn until perhaps our beacons 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:50.579 of light, wink, wink, here, can fix this. That 00:22:50.579 --> 00:22:54.460 is us. Oh, my God. It's callback. It's a callback. 00:22:54.500 --> 00:22:58.980 That's our role. Yeah. You're saying lots of 00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:03.839 stuff like halfway point, next year, blah, blah, 00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:08.240 blah. Did you say earlier? I don't remember if 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.799 you said it tonight or if it was just a conversation. 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.240 You said that we have like maybe three major 00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.579 arcs left. Three. Yeah, essentially three. One 00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:18.700 might even argue two major arcs left because 00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:22.690 you'll find it. You want to give us any? Any 00:23:22.690 --> 00:23:25.369 behind the scenes? Any little teasers? Teasers? 00:23:25.490 --> 00:23:29.930 Oh. It's okay if you don't. I'm going to do something 00:23:29.930 --> 00:23:34.730 very complex for our next arc. All right. It's 00:23:34.730 --> 00:23:38.789 going to be a lot of fun, I think. Okay. This 00:23:38.789 --> 00:23:40.750 is going to be a lot of fun, I think. Every arc, 00:23:40.789 --> 00:23:42.309 I go for something even more ambitious than the 00:23:42.309 --> 00:23:43.589 last, and I think I'm going to go for my most 00:23:43.589 --> 00:23:46.450 ambitious arc yet, and I'll put you guys through 00:23:46.450 --> 00:23:50.269 it in a very fun way. I got some maps. A very 00:23:50.269 --> 00:23:55.009 gorgeous, incredible map already made up by SoundPukyGirls. 00:23:55.009 --> 00:24:00.609 Hell yeah. Shout out. Shout out. I'm very, very 00:24:00.609 --> 00:24:02.670 excited for what's coming up next, but let's 00:24:02.670 --> 00:24:06.059 just say the deck is stacked against you. Well, 00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:09.779 that's nothing new. You have so little you can 00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:12.920 do to turn the tide of what's happened now. And 00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:14.519 we're going to get into that next episode. It's 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:20.259 about to go completely wild. But maybe there 00:24:20.259 --> 00:24:24.640 are a couple of tools you can yet obtain. So 00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:26.960 glad to get together with my friends and find 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:34.509 some escapism and feel totally powerless. You 00:24:34.509 --> 00:24:36.670 don't love just like really nihilistic politics 00:24:36.670 --> 00:24:42.569 in your D &D? Is it not your jam? I'm glad that 00:24:42.569 --> 00:24:45.990 everyone loves that. They're listening to it. 00:24:46.130 --> 00:24:48.009 You know what's going to give me a new sense 00:24:48.009 --> 00:24:51.109 of power though? Don't fucking do it. What? What's 00:24:51.109 --> 00:24:56.769 in our next Mail Time submission? Mail Time! 00:24:58.029 --> 00:25:01.869 I think we have dawdled on. Long enough. We're 00:25:01.869 --> 00:25:04.150 doing this now? I think it's time to get into 00:25:04.150 --> 00:25:07.230 that box sitting right there. Let me get the 00:25:07.230 --> 00:25:09.289 murder knife. Get the murder knife. Get Abby. 00:25:12.069 --> 00:25:16.509 Abby! Abby! I don't know what's happening. She 00:25:16.509 --> 00:25:18.990 just said she wanted to see. Okay. This is going 00:25:18.990 --> 00:25:21.369 to be cool. Okay. This is incredible. Oh, we 00:25:21.369 --> 00:25:23.269 got all the dogs, too. Do you want to be there 00:25:23.269 --> 00:25:24.990 for the box opening? Yeah. Bring the dogs in. 00:25:25.089 --> 00:25:27.289 Dogs, check out this box. Oh, my God. Everyone's 00:25:27.289 --> 00:25:29.200 in the room. Everyone's in the room.

Oh. 00:25:34.660 --> 00:25:35.599 It's true. I don't know how you're going to, 00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:37.059 like, open this thing. Yeah, you can open it 00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:40.279 in front of your microphone. It's a big box, 00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.119 by the way. It's a tall box. Very tall box. It's 00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:49.200 a tall box for a tall boy. I am a tall boy. No, 00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:50.960 you know what? I'm almost 40. I'm a tall man. 00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:54.519 He's almost earned the man title, yeah. It's 00:25:54.519 --> 00:26:00.559 good. Oh, man. I'm so excited. We'll say this 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.700 box that come with a letter for Jeremy. He already 00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:06.500 read it More private affair, but it is do we 00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:09.579 say who is this from yet? We say oh, yeah?

That is a full war pick a la Dresden 00:26:40.109 --> 00:26:45.450 Kellig. Look at that handle with the resin. The 00:26:45.450 --> 00:26:48.609 resin in the cracks and stuff. It's so cool. 00:26:48.710 --> 00:26:50.950 The purple resin. Oh my gosh. It looks so magical. 00:26:52.269 --> 00:26:55.430 What the fuck? You want to swing it at something? 00:26:55.690 --> 00:27:00.289 No. You got any old TVs or... Want to step out 00:27:00.289 --> 00:27:02.210 back? Swing it or something?

Expect a secondary kind of 00:27:40.650 --> 00:27:43.029 additional present along with that war pick. 00:27:43.109 --> 00:27:46.289 What? The Pod universe as well. The what?

Matthew's Nerdy Nation, who I think isn't 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:30.640 quite caught up yet. I think he's still somewhere 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.680 in the 30s. So he'll get these all later on. 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.160 Hopefully he doesn't jump ahead and get any spoilers. 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.220 Yeah, actually, don't listen to this one. I just 00:29:40.220 --> 00:29:43.759 talked about a lot of stuff. Oh, shit. We put 00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:49.000 the spoiler warning way too late. But let's crack 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.599 this open and see what we got from Matthew. Hey, 00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:59.099 Matthew here. In one of the early episodes, David 00:29:59.099 --> 00:30:02.799 had said that he was pronouncing Jules' last 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.240 name wrong for the entirety of the show until 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.460 that point. Yeah, he did. And said there were 00:30:10.460 --> 00:30:13.319 other names that he was pronouncing wrong in 00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:17.380 the Journey to the Radiant Citadel book. Oh, 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:22.839 no. What were those names? This is fun. Oh my 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:26.140 gosh. Time to produce receipts, my friend. It 00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:29.319 is honestly easier to say what weren't those 00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:35.059 names. I'm pretty sure Ariat is Ariat. Shule 00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:39.400 is Shule. There are so many. When you get to 00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:44.519 the first arc, I don't know how many of those 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:46.660 names I got wrong, but probably most of them. 00:30:48.539 --> 00:30:53.119 I'm really bad at, I guess, pronouncing names. 00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:56.680 Pick one that makes you cringe when you think 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:02.220 of how you pronounced it. Oh, hang on. The Sholay 00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:05.039 one is pretty... It's a hard one. The thing is, 00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:07.000 it doesn't have the pronunciation guide for... 00:31:08.410 --> 00:31:11.349 Ariat and Sholay. So that's shame on you, Wizards 00:31:11.349 --> 00:31:12.809 of the Coast. I'm trying to think of one from 00:31:12.809 --> 00:31:16.490 a world that was particularly bad. Kiss, kiss. 00:31:18.529 --> 00:31:21.069 Oh, I'm having a hard time. I'd go back and take 00:31:21.069 --> 00:31:23.349 a look. I kind of said a long time ago that I'm 00:31:23.349 --> 00:31:26.849 just horrible at this. In a lot of the worlds, 00:31:26.910 --> 00:31:28.210 they will have different pronunciations. I'll 00:31:28.210 --> 00:31:29.529 go through the world and look back and be like, 00:31:29.589 --> 00:31:32.509 oh, crap. San Sitian is actually San Situan. 00:31:32.650 --> 00:31:38.690 I just assumed that the L was a ya. You know? 00:31:38.730 --> 00:31:41.069 I don't know. It looked fitting. I like the way 00:31:41.069 --> 00:31:42.769 it sounds. It rolls a ton better. Let's not even 00:31:42.769 --> 00:31:45.190 get into fucking Papalapadapadahill because fuck 00:31:45.190 --> 00:31:46.990 that one. Nobody knows how to say that. Nobody 00:31:46.990 --> 00:31:49.650 knows how to say that. Probably everything on 00:31:49.650 --> 00:31:51.789 Sansatyan will be straight. It's probably like 00:31:51.789 --> 00:32:00.750 Popalotion. Oh, man. Papalapadapalus. So, I will 00:32:00.750 --> 00:32:03.089 say everything on Sansatyan will make me cringe 00:32:03.089 --> 00:32:05.049 because I'm probably bad at all of it. All right. 00:32:05.349 --> 00:32:14.319 Nice. And I am very sorry. I'm very sorry. Sorry. 00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:20.819 Let me get into some questions from Zila. Hey, 00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:25.200 Fantasy Pants. It's Astropathic, or Zila. I've 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:27.660 got three questions for you today. The first 00:32:27.660 --> 00:32:31.059 one is that if you had to run another module, 00:32:31.220 --> 00:32:36.849 which module would you pick? Honestly, easy answer, 00:32:36.970 --> 00:32:39.150 I would say. Because there's one module I've 00:32:39.150 --> 00:32:41.670 played that I've absolutely adored. I only played 00:32:41.670 --> 00:32:43.829 a little bit of it, but it was my favorite because 00:32:43.829 --> 00:32:45.950 I love the setting so much. I love the whimsy, 00:32:45.950 --> 00:32:48.829 I love the fun, and that is Wild Beyond the Witchlight. 00:32:49.049 --> 00:32:52.529 I really loved Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I 00:32:52.529 --> 00:32:55.369 would love to run that and go beyond that, but 00:32:55.369 --> 00:33:00.009 the Feywild is so fun. It can be scary in the 00:33:00.009 --> 00:33:03.769 old nursery rhyme way, but like... You have puzzles 00:33:03.769 --> 00:33:05.869 in that one where it's like, oh, there's a door, 00:33:05.990 --> 00:33:07.410 but it has a big face, and once you're through, 00:33:07.529 --> 00:33:09.170 you gotta tell the door a joke to make it laugh, 00:33:09.289 --> 00:33:11.289 so its mouth goes, and you go through. Like, 00:33:11.309 --> 00:33:15.029 stupid, stupid. I love it so much. I ran for 00:33:15.029 --> 00:33:17.390 some people, and there was some, I literally 00:33:17.390 --> 00:33:19.029 ran it by book, and there was like some water 00:33:19.029 --> 00:33:20.750 methods, or mud methods that came out of this 00:33:20.750 --> 00:33:22.970 mud, and they're like, hee hee hee, if you want 00:33:22.970 --> 00:33:25.750 to get by, you must name our favorite food, otherwise 00:33:25.750 --> 00:33:28.970 we will kill you. Otherwise we will kill you. 00:33:29.069 --> 00:33:32.299 And they just thought, they were like, um, Mud 00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:36.000 pie? And as written, I had to be like, hee hee 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:39.160 hee hee. Go ahead. Oh my god. Because they were 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:44.579 right. It was mud pie. Just like the whole book 00:33:44.579 --> 00:33:47.259 is just tomfoolery, but also legitimately scary. 00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:50.180 I ran it like you start off as children. So you 00:33:50.180 --> 00:33:51.980 have this whole like opening bit where you're 00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:54.339 all children dealing with these nightmarish Feywild 00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:55.880 creatures that steal something important from 00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:57.240 you. So you have to go on as your adults back 00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:58.599 into the Feywild and this grand adventure to 00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:00.579 get that stuff back. It's really cool. So if 00:34:00.579 --> 00:34:02.240 you're looking for a cool module out there, check 00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:05.680 out Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I love it. Something 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.319 that I really want to play. I think we've talked 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.860 about it before. I would love to play Spelljammer. 00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.599 That's right. Yes. This is almost Spelljammer. 00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:15.699 We were very close. It was around the same time 00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:17.579 as Journeys. Spelljammer came out and I chose 00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:20.420 this one over it. Barely. I want to do some spacey 00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:25.059 sci -fi, but still like swords and shields and 00:34:25.059 --> 00:34:27.320 you know what I mean? Yeah. Sorcery. Swords and 00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.539 sorcery. That's the term. It's a cool blend. 00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:33.059 It's a really, really cool blend. Oh, you guys 00:34:33.059 --> 00:34:38.230 are looking at me now. Yeah. I don't know. Puppy 00:34:38.230 --> 00:34:39.949 dog eyes. I'm the one that hasn't played D &D 00:34:39.949 --> 00:34:41.829 for a very long time. It's true. So I played 00:34:41.829 --> 00:34:43.449 Radiant Citadel and Frostmaiden with you guys, 00:34:43.469 --> 00:34:45.210 and I've loved both of them. Cool. Frostmaiden 00:34:45.210 --> 00:34:48.710 was great. We had a lot of fun with what we played 00:34:48.710 --> 00:34:50.710 of Frostmaiden. We didn't quite finish, but maybe 00:34:50.710 --> 00:34:54.929 someday. Maybe someday. Yeah, I'm having a blast 00:34:54.929 --> 00:34:56.889 playing. I don't really know what else is out 00:34:56.889 --> 00:34:59.829 there. I trust you guys' judgment. Hell yeah. 00:35:01.150 --> 00:35:04.949 Second. What is the ideal amount of dice to have? 00:35:05.150 --> 00:35:09.929 Be aware that there is a correct answer. I have 00:35:09.929 --> 00:35:12.650 one set of dice I typically use, to be honest. 00:35:12.889 --> 00:35:15.670 I feel like that's not the correct answer. I 00:35:15.670 --> 00:35:18.170 need the full metal die to handle the Port of 00:35:18.170 --> 00:35:21.050 Pain, you know? They gotta be heavy die or else 00:35:21.050 --> 00:35:23.829 they go flying. I appreciate that. I appreciate 00:35:23.829 --> 00:35:26.469 that, but I think one set, I don't think that's 00:35:26.469 --> 00:35:28.289 the answer. I do feel like when we're in combat, 00:35:28.369 --> 00:35:33.610 it's kind of like... Oh, it is terrifying when 00:35:33.610 --> 00:35:37.969 you roll like 18 D6 and they each sound like 00:35:37.969 --> 00:35:43.269 boulders falling down a chimney. Yeah. The hooves 00:35:43.269 --> 00:35:45.630 of a god beast coming down to crush you. That 00:35:45.630 --> 00:35:48.630 dice set works for you, especially when paired 00:35:48.630 --> 00:35:53.889 with your dice tower. But I'm going to speak 00:35:53.889 --> 00:35:57.530 for Zila and say that assuredly you're wrong. 00:35:57.869 --> 00:36:01.389 Okay. All right. The only correct answer is the 00:36:01.389 --> 00:36:03.730 limit does not exist. You can never have too 00:36:03.730 --> 00:36:05.929 many. Limitless. You can never have too many 00:36:05.929 --> 00:36:07.690 dice. This is the opposite end of the spectrum. 00:36:08.230 --> 00:36:12.869 All right. Dice high? That's a reference. Dicetron. 00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:17.500 Hey, I just made an old Fantasy Batch reference. 00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:20.500 It's true. That's right, yes. If anybody remembers 00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:23.099 the original trailer. Yeah, they called that. 00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:27.320 Dice. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Die. Dices. Yeah, 00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:32.360 yeah, yeah. That's so good. That's so good. My 00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:36.820 answer is somewhere in between. I hope it's the 00:36:36.820 --> 00:36:39.659 right answer. Okay. I feel like as soon as you 00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:44.280 feel like you have too many die, that's the right 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:47.239 number. I guess Steven's answer was somewhere 00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:49.360 between one and infinite, you know? Yeah, exactly. 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:51.900 Exactly. I hope that's the right answer, you 00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:55.320 lazy son of a bitch. It's individual to everybody, 00:36:55.380 --> 00:36:59.159 but you need to have more than enough, right? 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.159 Yeah. Just get into politics, Steven, with that 00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.380 way of saying nothing. I thought it was good. 00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:06.380 When you think you have too many, that's when 00:37:06.380 --> 00:37:09.340 you just get just one more. See? He gets it. 00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:11.960 No, but then when you get one more, do I have 00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:13.820 too many? I think I have too many. Then you get 00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:15.940 one more. Do you have too many then? Yeah, I 00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:17.579 have too many. So now it's an infinite loop. 00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:20.920 You can never have too many die. Well, I'm curious 00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.800 to know what Zila's answer is. Find out on Discord! 00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:30.440 And your answer too! Find out on Discord! I think 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:34.400 we got one more from Zila. Third question is 00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:41.699 which is it better to roll? 3d4, 2d6, or 1d12? 00:37:42.139 --> 00:37:44.869 Be aware that there is also a correct answer 00:37:44.869 --> 00:37:49.369 i think i'm first hold on i think there was something 00:37:49.369 --> 00:37:53.849 else i missed the last like 30 seconds be aware 00:37:53.849 --> 00:37:58.130 that there is also a correct answer thanks oh 00:37:58.130 --> 00:38:01.889 it was thanks thank you zilla thank you integral 00:38:01.889 --> 00:38:10.989 now i get it hold on jeremy spoke up first i 00:38:10.989 --> 00:38:15.980 want to hear what jeremy's got to say 3d4 3d4, 00:38:15.980 --> 00:38:18.360 2d6, or 1d12. Yeah, they all total the same. 00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:22.519 Your choice is 3d4? Yeah. David? 3d4, yeah. Yeah. 00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:24.900 If I'm using a boss monster, I at least want 00:38:24.900 --> 00:38:27.920 my minimum four damage. If I roll a one on a 00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:32.800 d12, I will go to the bathroom and cry. The only 00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.019 reason I think that I maybe know this is just 00:38:37.019 --> 00:38:39.400 from watching, I don't know, some casino show. 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.769 I've heard that in craps, Because you roll 2d6 00:38:44.769 --> 00:38:48.590 in that casino game. And they say that the most 00:38:48.590 --> 00:38:54.010 likely number to roll on 2d6 is 7. Huh. I don't 00:38:54.010 --> 00:38:56.630 know why. We've discussed many times before. 00:38:56.750 --> 00:39:04.150 I'm not a statistician. I think I've heard this 00:39:04.150 --> 00:39:07.750 stat in the zeitgeist. So I'm going to bullshit 00:39:07.750 --> 00:39:14.199 blindly math guess 2d6. All right. Okay. Well, 00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:19.380 you're wrong. I will say, I love the feeling 00:39:19.380 --> 00:39:21.719 of rolling a D12, because you don't do it very 00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:26.059 often. I've played a Warlock before with Toll 00:39:26.059 --> 00:39:29.820 the Dead, and God, I love rolling D12s, baby. 00:39:30.699 --> 00:39:36.139 D12s just feel good. But I'm, again, curious 00:39:36.139 --> 00:39:38.940 to hear Zila's answer, because it sounds like 00:39:38.940 --> 00:39:42.289 she's got it in the bag. How about we do some 00:39:42.289 --> 00:39:45.349 written questions? We've got some written questions 00:39:45.349 --> 00:39:50.789 from a couple of people. All right. Firstly... 00:39:50.789 --> 00:39:52.090 Wait, you've got to do a voice with them, though. 00:39:52.130 --> 00:39:53.630 That's the new rule. I don't know if I can do 00:39:53.630 --> 00:39:54.710 it. Someone doesn't put a question in voice, 00:39:54.929 --> 00:40:01.349 we've got to do a voice for them. I've got questions 00:40:01.349 --> 00:40:05.219 here. That's a horrible voice. Keep going. That 00:40:05.219 --> 00:40:09.760 sucks. From Oliver, a .k .a. Scipio Africanus. 00:40:09.780 --> 00:40:13.820 Ooh, Oliver. The first ones are to David. I'll 00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:18.460 have David read the David question. Ooh. Let's 00:40:18.460 --> 00:40:21.139 see. All right. How do I do an Oliver voice here? 00:40:21.380 --> 00:40:27.719 I just, I mean. Okay. How much of the campaign 00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:30.840 is from the journeys through the Radiant Citadel 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.059 official material, and how much is homebrew? 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.199 Thank you, Oliver. Great question. Thank you 00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:45.480 for that. Okay, Oliver. Sorry. This is like we 00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:47.159 didn't even do two episodes tonight, so this 00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:49.340 isn't even second episode energy. Will you hurry 00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:51.679 up and answer my question? Sure thing. One second. 00:40:52.650 --> 00:40:54.230 So I would actually say about half and half, 00:40:54.329 --> 00:40:57.730 right? I use a lot of like pieces from Radiant 00:40:57.730 --> 00:40:59.469 Citadel, but I change a lot of what those pieces 00:40:59.469 --> 00:41:01.210 mean. Like Sholay's in the book, but Sholay is 00:41:01.210 --> 00:41:02.670 an entirely different character with a whole 00:41:02.670 --> 00:41:05.090 different arc, whole different backstory. I mean, 00:41:05.130 --> 00:41:07.530 that's just one sort of person. Like I like to 00:41:07.530 --> 00:41:10.110 use a lot of the names and faces and places, 00:41:10.190 --> 00:41:13.250 but I like to change a lot about them. It's one 00:41:13.250 --> 00:41:14.869 of my favorite parts of DMing is looking at the 00:41:14.869 --> 00:41:17.550 puzzle pieces and saying, this is cool. How can 00:41:17.550 --> 00:41:20.079 I make this even cooler for me? How can I make 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:22.519 this a David story? And like, just, you know, 00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.719 make me more excited about it. And it's honestly 00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:26.199 why I'm almost like nervous like going into a 00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:28.679 full homebrew because I love so much the feeling 00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.880 of having the support system of those puzzle 00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:35.079 pieces. So if you're running a module, get creative, 00:41:35.099 --> 00:41:39.019 get crazy because it's fun to have something 00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:42.559 to jump off of. It's a great place to start and 00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:47.039 say, how can I take this balanced piece of work? 00:41:47.710 --> 00:41:52.429 and be a dick about it. Exactly. Dude, that final 00:41:52.429 --> 00:41:54.090 fight was so much easier than the book. It's 00:41:54.090 --> 00:41:56.469 not even fair. It's crazy. It was like a ghost 00:41:56.469 --> 00:41:59.329 and two gargoyles. Like, no way, dude. I want 00:41:59.329 --> 00:42:01.510 three tigers. I want the ghost to be way stronger 00:42:01.510 --> 00:42:04.489 with legendary actions. I'm going to slap a golem 00:42:04.489 --> 00:42:07.289 stat block onto a revenant stat block and do 00:42:07.289 --> 00:42:09.329 some weird in -between, some fire elemental stuff. 00:42:09.449 --> 00:42:12.730 I don't care. It was fun. It was awesome. Whose 00:42:12.730 --> 00:42:15.500 question's up next? This is going to be a question 00:42:15.500 --> 00:42:17.579 for Steven. Do you want me to read this to you? 00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:18.840 You're going to read it? Okay. I'm doing them 00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:22.039 all now. Okay. What do you think would have happened 00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:24.920 if you took Pepper or Trace as Zebulon's sidekick 00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:28.139 instead of Jean Franklin? That's a really good 00:42:28.139 --> 00:42:30.039 question. Damn. Thank you, Oliver. Holy shit, 00:42:30.099 --> 00:42:36.000 yeah. Yeah, sure thing, man. So... I think part 00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:38.840 of the reason why I picked Jean Franklin was 00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:42.159 because he annoyed me the least. That's shocking. 00:42:43.469 --> 00:42:47.429 Yeah. As hateable as he was early on. Dude, Trace, 00:42:47.449 --> 00:42:49.909 the goblin, like that goblin voice all the time, 00:42:49.929 --> 00:42:52.650 I think would have drove me nuts. And Pepper's 00:42:52.650 --> 00:42:58.750 unpredictable energy also would have, like, probably 00:42:58.750 --> 00:43:01.269 driven me nuts. So I think. So what happened 00:43:01.269 --> 00:43:03.150 in the show, like, otherwise? Like, if you change, 00:43:03.230 --> 00:43:04.650 pick one of those two. Oh, sure, sure, sure. 00:43:04.849 --> 00:43:07.389 Think of how different. Well, we probably wouldn't 00:43:07.389 --> 00:43:09.949 have had Blanche. Yeah, no, no way. Blanche was 00:43:09.949 --> 00:43:11.989 brought in because of the connection. Yeah. Well, 00:43:12.070 --> 00:43:15.730 even earlier than that, we had the Pepper connection, 00:43:15.889 --> 00:43:18.210 which I don't know if it would have been the 00:43:18.210 --> 00:43:22.750 same otherwise, but at least my intention was 00:43:22.750 --> 00:43:26.329 to pump some money into the party by kind of 00:43:26.329 --> 00:43:30.630 having like an in with our sponsor. So we could 00:43:30.630 --> 00:43:33.610 have started out with less gold, been worse equipped 00:43:33.610 --> 00:43:37.230 in those early levels, and been more annoyed 00:43:37.230 --> 00:43:40.289 for it. Yeah? Yeah, I mean, you're already so 00:43:40.289 --> 00:43:43.369 annoyed. That's crazy. That's nuts to imagine. 00:43:43.789 --> 00:43:48.369 Why am I doing this? I'm so annoyed. Yeah, it's 00:43:48.369 --> 00:43:51.190 so funny. Like, so much of the story has revolved 00:43:51.190 --> 00:43:54.780 around that. choice that that option that that 00:43:54.780 --> 00:43:56.380 initial like hey which one of these three do 00:43:56.380 --> 00:43:59.599 you want um it's it's wild to see all the big 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.579 moments that that happened as a result like well 00:44:02.579 --> 00:44:04.619 well we also know like we've talked about before 00:44:04.619 --> 00:44:08.599 jean franklin is a character that we in our personal 00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:11.400 experience is more familiar we've yeah played 00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:13.960 with jean franklin before in a game before this 00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:18.000 so so i i think it was kind of the obvious choice 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:20.380 easter egg though honestly i didn't like think 00:44:20.380 --> 00:44:22.300 of it as being like uh pick this It was like, 00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:23.880 hey, they'll think this is funny. They'll get 00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:25.780 a laugh out of this in our third or sixth episode. 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:27.960 I tried to make it objective, but I think it. 00:44:28.059 --> 00:44:31.739 I remember being very much in camp John Franklin 00:44:31.739 --> 00:44:34.219 and saying, yeah, are you kidding me? You have 00:44:34.219 --> 00:44:36.579 to pick John Franklin. Right. Yeah. This is what 00:44:36.579 --> 00:44:38.019 has to happen. Well, yeah. I mean, you know, 00:44:38.019 --> 00:44:39.880 if you have to pick someone to be by your side 00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:43.920 and your choices are the berserker. Was Trace 00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:48.579 a fighter? Yeah. A fighter or a paladin? I think. 00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:51.750 Yeah. Especially for like. backup for support 00:44:51.750 --> 00:44:53.929 i think i'm choosing the palette and for the 00:44:53.929 --> 00:44:56.530 rogue character who's high damage but less defensive 00:44:56.530 --> 00:44:59.329 right it makes sense it made sense so so in a 00:44:59.329 --> 00:45:02.150 lot of ways even even if they're just personally 00:45:02.150 --> 00:45:04.929 john franklin made the most sense but also um 00:45:04.929 --> 00:45:08.670 trace and pepper kind of annoyed me oh yeah and 00:45:08.670 --> 00:45:13.230 finally two jokes that was a fine answer to my 00:45:13.230 --> 00:45:15.570 question by the way steve and i'll give you a 00:45:15.570 --> 00:45:17.829 b plus thanks happy to hear it can i have a button 00:45:17.829 --> 00:45:21.579 no I'll give David a button.

Now, I want to add 00:45:31.059 --> 00:45:33.760 to this question as Oliver. Tell me about your 00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:36.739 process for how you write lyrics. I, David, and 00:45:36.739 --> 00:45:43.699 Oliver, am curious. I don't have a process. No, 00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:46.699 that's cool. I don't. Just sit down and be awesome. 00:45:46.980 --> 00:45:47.559 I just sit down and I'm like, okay, what's the 00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:49.960 situation? Just sit down and be awesome.

Just whatever comes to me. 00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:59.840 Usually it's based around like what kind of song 00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:03.019 I want to do. Okay. Which I have really enjoyed 00:46:03.019 --> 00:46:06.179 so far is like you're picking from different 00:46:06.179 --> 00:46:09.059 genres. Yeah, and that wasn't intentional either. 00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:13.760 It's just like, hey, we're in here. right let's 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.800 do this because it feels right and i've loved 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:18.619 the vibe every time yeah it's it's always so 00:46:18.619 --> 00:46:22.719 perfect uh i know you have one more kind of extra 00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:26.119 question here uh to steven and jeremy other than 00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.739 the main characters zebulon jules and blanche 00:46:28.739 --> 00:46:31.900 who was your favorite character or sidekick to 00:46:31.900 --> 00:46:35.519 sort of play uh jean franklin dance arhalon crispin 00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:38.780 uh because you play as the sidekicks in combat 00:46:38.780 --> 00:46:43.460 so yeah who do you like the most My favorite 00:46:43.460 --> 00:46:45.739 one, which I did not get to utilize near as much 00:46:45.739 --> 00:46:50.119 as I wanted to, was Arhalon.

Oh, 00:50:25.699 --> 00:50:27.219 you remember it? Oh, yeah. It was imaginary. 00:50:27.849 --> 00:50:30.170 Yeah. No, it was real. What are you talking about? 00:50:30.230 --> 00:50:32.989 It was real. It was real. It was real. Shit. 00:50:33.329 --> 00:50:36.349 But then when it became real.

Now I have one more question 00:50:49.650 --> 00:50:52.510 for you. What's that, Gabby? Do you have any 00:50:52.510 --> 00:50:55.150 childhood memories where you still cringe thinking 00:50:55.150 --> 00:50:59.210 about how awkward you were? I will get the ball 00:50:59.210 --> 00:51:02.090 rolling. Okay. I'll get the ball rolling. I'll 00:51:02.090 --> 00:51:04.389 turn over the stone for you pants people. I'll 00:51:04.389 --> 00:51:08.849 do it for you. So when I was very young, I didn't 00:51:08.849 --> 00:51:11.050 really know how urinals were supposed to work. 00:51:11.650 --> 00:51:14.489 Stop. Hang on. I haven't got to the funny part 00:51:14.489 --> 00:51:17.650 yet. Don't laugh, even at that part. So I didn't 00:51:17.650 --> 00:51:19.090 know how urinals were supposed to work, and I... 00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:24.039 I would kind of just go in and, you know, unbutton, 00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:28.539 unzip and just drop full cheeks. You know, just 00:51:28.539 --> 00:51:30.980 full cheeks. So you'd walk in. It's just like 00:51:30.980 --> 00:51:33.260 pants on the floor, full cheeks. That's a pretty 00:51:33.260 --> 00:51:36.179 normal small kid thing to do. No, we're talking 00:51:36.179 --> 00:51:41.219 middle school. Oh. Why did you pry that out of 00:51:41.219 --> 00:51:43.840 me? What did I say? I went to middle school. 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:48.500 God damn it. And I have memories. Hang on. I'm 00:51:48.500 --> 00:51:51.400 walking into the bathroom. This better not be 00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:54.659 yours. Just turn in the corner and just look 00:51:54.659 --> 00:51:57.199 at the mirror. And there's David. Pants around 00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:02.280 his ankles. Full butters. Oh, God. Full cheeks, 00:52:02.500 --> 00:52:07.619 baby. Stephen Howland at that moon. And just 00:52:07.619 --> 00:52:10.480 turn around, look over his shoulder, and just 00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:15.889 be like, hey, what's up? I think... The kids 00:52:15.889 --> 00:52:22.030 today would refer to that as a power move. Nobody 00:52:22.030 --> 00:52:24.590 challenged you, I guess. Yeah, I owned the school. 00:52:24.929 --> 00:52:28.329 Oh, my God. That's so funny. Top that, Steven. 00:52:28.489 --> 00:52:30.389 No, it's not even close. I don't want you to 00:52:30.389 --> 00:52:31.889 tickle me until I piss my pants. Oh, my God. 00:52:31.889 --> 00:52:37.250 It's not even close. You jerk. Okay. I remember 00:52:37.250 --> 00:52:40.150 there was... It's also a middle school one. I 00:52:40.150 --> 00:52:42.849 remember there was a school dance. And like last 00:52:42.849 --> 00:52:47.849 minute, the DJ canceled. And so the teachers 00:52:47.849 --> 00:52:49.389 came and they were like, hey, guys, we're not 00:52:49.389 --> 00:52:53.750 having the school dance anymore. And I was like, 00:52:53.889 --> 00:52:58.710 bullshit, we're not. I was so cool. I had just 00:52:58.710 --> 00:53:04.280 bought a $300 boom box from Walmart. like with 00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:07.500 like the six disc CD changer and the speakers 00:53:07.500 --> 00:53:10.619 that were like thigh high. And it was like black 00:53:10.619 --> 00:53:12.639 with like orange highlights. I was like, nah, 00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:16.579 man, I'll bring my boom box in and we can do 00:53:16.579 --> 00:53:22.800 the school dance on that. And like, I still don't, 00:53:22.820 --> 00:53:24.619 but at the time definitely didn't know anything 00:53:24.619 --> 00:53:28.000 about audio or whatnot. So like when you hook 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:33.809 up a $300 Walmart stereo to like, you know, big 00:53:33.809 --> 00:53:36.889 speakers that are supposed to play at a school 00:53:36.889 --> 00:53:39.750 dance. Yeah. It doesn't go well. It skips a lot. 00:53:39.849 --> 00:53:43.670 It cuts out. I don't know why, but it was like, 00:53:43.710 --> 00:53:45.630 I don't remember this. It was like an hour and 00:53:45.630 --> 00:53:48.510 45 minutes of the music just not working. I must 00:53:48.510 --> 00:53:52.130 have been there. Oh yeah, probably. Damn. Yeah, 00:53:52.170 --> 00:53:55.309 it was really bad. But yeah, I was so confident 00:53:55.309 --> 00:53:57.369 that I was like, I'm going to save the day. I'll 00:53:57.369 --> 00:54:00.579 be the DJ. Yeah, no, I still think about that 00:54:00.579 --> 00:54:02.599 sometimes. Well, if I didn't laugh at you then, 00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:09.500 please allow me to laugh at you now. Nerd. Thanks. 00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:13.360 That's truly embarrassing and you should feel 00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.099 bad for yourself. In front of Gabby? In front 00:54:15.099 --> 00:54:18.159 of Gabby? Yeah. Jeremy, give me an answer that's 00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:21.480 even funnier. Nope. Oh, man. I'm going to leave 00:54:21.480 --> 00:54:26.159 trauma where it lives. That sounds like a hard 00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:31.110 pass to me. All right, I've got questions from... 00:54:31.110 --> 00:54:33.449 Wait, more about my wife. Oh. Oh, yes. I thought 00:54:33.449 --> 00:54:36.230 you passed. Huh? Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 00:54:36.230 --> 00:54:38.230 that's right. We're not done with wife questions. 00:54:38.349 --> 00:54:41.090 I have a question, actually. Oh, that's right, 00:54:41.130 --> 00:54:44.909 yes. Is I, Abby, who did not want to submit a 00:54:44.909 --> 00:54:47.250 voice and walk in the room, so I'm going to be 00:54:47.250 --> 00:54:52.789 Abby now. My, Jeremy, you look so tall and dashing. 00:54:53.769 --> 00:54:57.840 How I pat my eyelashes at you. Moi. I don't even 00:54:57.840 --> 00:54:59.579 know how to respond to that. Yeah. Even as a 00:54:59.579 --> 00:55:03.139 joke. What's the question again? Can someone 00:55:03.139 --> 00:55:05.460 say it to me so I can say it back to you? She 00:55:05.460 --> 00:55:08.300 was curious about how you and I... How do you 00:55:08.300 --> 00:55:15.679 and David... Figure out when and how to have 00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:18.360 a song. Figure out when and how to write a song 00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:23.199 for an arc of Fantasy Pants. Considering we don't 00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:26.199 know. You can't really spoil it for me. You don't 00:55:26.199 --> 00:55:30.199 know what's going to happen and it can't be spoiled. 00:55:30.980 --> 00:55:42.239 Jesus Christ. Thank you, Abby. Great question. 00:55:42.340 --> 00:55:48.260 Great question, Abby. Yeah. So pretty early on. 00:55:49.469 --> 00:55:51.949 Pretty early on, we kind of had this loose idea 00:55:51.949 --> 00:55:54.429 that we wanted to kind of maybe do like a full 00:55:54.429 --> 00:55:58.050 song per arc kind of thing. Yeah. Basically, 00:55:58.050 --> 00:56:00.269 when we start a new arc, I'm like, okay, got 00:56:00.269 --> 00:56:02.090 to figure out a song at some point. So I'll go 00:56:02.090 --> 00:56:05.110 to David and I'll say, hey, David, without giving 00:56:05.110 --> 00:56:07.929 away really anything, because I can't really 00:56:07.929 --> 00:56:10.550 know anything. Tell me something about the arc. 00:56:10.849 --> 00:56:12.510 Yeah. Like usually it'll be like, what's the 00:56:12.510 --> 00:56:14.949 setting or what are going to be the main players 00:56:14.949 --> 00:56:17.690 in the arc? Like theme or tone. Yeah. Like this 00:56:17.690 --> 00:56:20.420 last one, I knew. that you know it wasn't a huge 00:56:20.420 --> 00:56:22.239 spoiler that we were going to be working with 00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:25.139 sholey yeah and by the time like we like i actually 00:56:25.139 --> 00:56:26.960 only decided to do the song shortly after we 00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:28.800 started the arc so we knew that she was there 00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:31.559 and i was like okay i feel like this is going 00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:33.639 to be some type of confrontational thing with 00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:35.539 sholey at some point because jules is gonna jules 00:56:35.539 --> 00:56:38.019 is getting more and more pissed yes yeah um you 00:56:38.019 --> 00:56:39.360 know she was hiding stuff going into it and i 00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:41.019 basically yeah we kind of confirmed like like 00:56:41.019 --> 00:56:43.059 there will probably be a point where you are 00:56:43.059 --> 00:56:46.820 going to have to confront showly about something. 00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:48.780 Yeah. And opening up about something. And I was 00:56:48.780 --> 00:56:50.840 like, okay, that's good. Yeah. We decide, okay, 00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:52.139 that's going to be the song. The tone of this, 00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:54.699 this arc is very, very gritty, very dark, you 00:56:54.699 --> 00:56:56.239 know, I knew that going into it. And yeah. And 00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:58.420 like, and like, yeah, yeah. And everything else 00:56:58.420 --> 00:57:01.860 is just vibes and yeah. Nothing too specific, 00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:04.800 just vibes. And yeah, it's really cool what we're 00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:06.599 building off of that. Like, right. Like some 00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:07.960 of them, sometimes we have a little more, sorry, 00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:09.940 it's empty. It's been empty for a while. I'm 00:57:09.940 --> 00:57:12.320 just playing with a can, which is great for audio. 00:57:13.980 --> 00:57:17.380 So like, for example, real time. Yeah. You said 00:57:17.380 --> 00:57:19.679 we have probably like two major arcs left. Yes. 00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:23.719 So we've already discussed, spoiler alert, I 00:57:23.719 --> 00:57:26.179 got two songs left. Do one for this next arc 00:57:26.179 --> 00:57:29.860 and then provided I'm still alive. Yeah. Got 00:57:29.860 --> 00:57:32.179 to do some big finale song. 40th birthday, you 00:57:32.179 --> 00:57:36.880 might not be. So yeah, that's a real big peek 00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:40.500 behind the fly. Ooh, I like that. Yeah, got two 00:57:40.500 --> 00:57:44.880 more songs in this season. Hell yeah. Yeah. Well, 00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:52.780 that answers my question. Thank you, honey. She 00:57:52.780 --> 00:58:00.920 left. Pause it for one second. It's working. 00:58:01.179 --> 00:58:05.099 Okay, we're back. Okay, hang on. All right. I 00:58:05.099 --> 00:58:07.539 got a message for someone out there in the pants, 00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:10.619 people. Because a pants people has an enemy. 00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:11.860 What do you call the enemy of the pants people? 00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:15.440 What's the opposite of a pants person? There's 00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:17.400 a real shirt out there somewhere. A real shirt. 00:58:17.900 --> 00:58:20.219 I was going to say like a pants on fire person. 00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:21.559 Pants on fire. Yeah, you know what? There's a 00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:23.099 liar, liar, pants on fire right out there with 00:58:23.099 --> 00:58:25.179 you. Oliver. No, actually he told the truth. 00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:27.760 That's a fair point. He told the truth. Oliver, 00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.099 earlier today in the Discord. We don't even have 00:58:30.099 --> 00:58:33.280 a word. Yeah. Oh, my God. Bad enough. We're going 00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:34.780 to think of one. In fact, if you think of a word 00:58:34.780 --> 00:58:36.480 bad enough to describe Oliver, put it in the 00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:39.280 Discord. In the Discord. Oliver, earlier today, 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:42.739 said that I will create technical difficulties 00:58:42.739 --> 00:58:46.340 for you of epic proportions. He said that in 00:58:46.340 --> 00:58:47.840 response to last week's episode, which just came 00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:51.039 out today. And guess what? And guess what? We 00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:52.739 almost lost the whole episode we just recorded. 00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:54.940 We almost lost the whole episode. So this is 00:58:54.940 --> 00:58:57.719 us an hour after you just heard us being very 00:58:57.719 --> 00:59:01.739 upset with Oliver. The last hour. Was it an hour 00:59:01.739 --> 00:59:03.619 or was it longer than an hour? I felt like it 00:59:03.619 --> 00:59:06.739 was six hours. We had, what, the time stopped? 00:59:07.059 --> 00:59:09.159 I aged six years. Yeah, it was a very long time. 00:59:09.219 --> 00:59:12.159 It was at least an hour. Yeah. It was like super 00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:14.760 high tension. We thought that the whole recording 00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:18.280 was lost. Yeah, we had 58, basically, we had 00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:21.420 58 minutes recorded. Pretty much most of the 00:59:21.420 --> 00:59:23.099 damn thing. Everything that you've heard before 00:59:23.099 --> 00:59:28.659 this. And then, yeah. That stuff. Yeah, the good 00:59:28.659 --> 00:59:32.880 stuff over there. So I decided, okay, we're going 00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:34.820 to enter into a different segment here. So I 00:59:34.820 --> 00:59:37.639 wanted to stop the recording, save it, and then 00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:42.460 restart it as a new file. Went to hit stop. It 00:59:42.460 --> 00:59:46.489 didn't stop. Could not stop the recording. It's 00:59:46.489 --> 00:59:48.150 like that movie Speed where the bus won't stop. 00:59:48.349 --> 00:59:51.190 Yeah. So and basically. So we just spent the 00:59:51.190 --> 00:59:54.809 last hour in the movie Speed. Higher stakes though 00:59:54.809 --> 00:59:57.590 because we almost lost that fucking goal of the 00:59:57.590 --> 01:00:00.230 last 58 minutes. Yeah. The problem with not being 01:00:00.230 --> 01:00:02.550 able to hit stop and stop it is it does not save. 01:00:02.829 --> 01:00:04.829 Yeah. It is an active recording that is still 01:00:04.829 --> 01:00:07.949 going and it will not save unless you press stop. 01:00:08.130 --> 01:00:10.190 We thought. Yes. We got to a point where it's 01:00:10.190 --> 01:00:12.789 like okay the only thing to fucking do. is to 01:00:12.789 --> 01:00:18.909 unplug it and 95 % to 98 % chance we lose the 01:00:18.909 --> 01:00:21.369 recording when we unplug it. You know the thing 01:00:21.369 --> 01:00:24.429 is though, I was just going to say, we're overdue. 01:00:24.829 --> 01:00:28.650 For big technical... We haven't had it. Many 01:00:28.650 --> 01:00:33.030 of the podcasts that I listen to, you tune in 01:00:33.030 --> 01:00:35.710 occasionally and they're like, hey, we lost the 01:00:35.710 --> 01:00:38.489 whole recording. This is... what we came up with 01:00:38.489 --> 01:00:41.449 yeah we haven't had that in three years and we 01:00:41.449 --> 01:00:44.389 almost did why tonight's the anniversary yeah 01:00:44.389 --> 01:00:47.530 stevens when you're trying to wish bad mojo on 01:00:47.530 --> 01:00:50.329 us like hey we're over two guys really we should 01:00:50.329 --> 01:00:52.530 lose 10 episodes i'm just saying that we're lucky 01:00:52.530 --> 01:00:54.809 that we've gotten this far and i thought tonight 01:00:54.809 --> 01:00:58.909 was our night but guess what the power of belief 01:00:58.909 --> 01:01:02.329 i don't love and friendship yeah and if you believe 01:01:02.329 --> 01:01:08.239 in santa claus uh Christmas will come true. I 01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:10.780 can't explain to you how it happened. We unplugged 01:01:10.780 --> 01:01:12.659 it. We should have lost it. I turned it back 01:01:12.659 --> 01:01:15.320 on, looked in the list, and there's the fucking 01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:18.079 recording. I loaded it into my computer just 01:01:18.079 --> 01:01:20.219 to make sure we had the entire recording, like 01:01:20.219 --> 01:01:22.900 everything, you know, the entire length, and 01:01:22.900 --> 01:01:25.380 it's all there. The Christmas miracle. It is 01:01:25.380 --> 01:01:27.420 a Christmas miracle. The question on everybody's 01:01:27.420 --> 01:01:29.510 lips now. Yeah. Is what are we going to do now? 01:01:29.750 --> 01:01:33.730 I have a plan for that. Because I have more questions. 01:01:34.130 --> 01:01:37.210 I got zipped questions. You have more questions, 01:01:37.230 --> 01:01:39.570 but we have no more time, unfortunately, because 01:01:39.570 --> 01:01:45.570 of that debacle, Oliver. So I have a little plan 01:01:45.570 --> 01:01:47.429 for what's going forward. I think it's going 01:01:47.429 --> 01:01:50.449 to be a cool one. It's even better than our original 01:01:50.449 --> 01:01:52.289 idea of just doing it all in one night. Here's 01:01:52.289 --> 01:01:55.579 what I'm thinking. Ready for this? Half zipped. 01:01:55.880 --> 01:01:58.940 What's that? Your fly's half unzipped? That's 01:01:58.940 --> 01:02:01.340 right. Next episode of Fancy Pants, we're doing 01:02:01.340 --> 01:02:03.820 a half zip. You'll get half arrested that way. 01:02:03.940 --> 01:02:10.320 Yes. What? Half the episodes. It's going to be 01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:12.340 more questions, more unzipped, more behind the 01:02:12.340 --> 01:02:14.440 scenes, and then we're going to get into the 01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:17.480 final sort of pieces, bits, follow -up to this 01:02:17.480 --> 01:02:20.639 arc we just went through. So look forward to 01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:22.699 that. It's going to be awesome. It's going to 01:02:22.699 --> 01:02:25.579 be great. And it's not going to get ruined by 01:02:25.579 --> 01:02:29.300 you, Oliver. But until then, guys, we're going 01:02:29.300 --> 01:02:36.659 there! Whoa! We saved it! Yeah!
