WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
The Bad Articles is an improvised comedy show.

00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:06.080
That means our cast have no idea what they're

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.500
going to say until they say it. In addition to

00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:12.699
this, we use a rules-light percentile dice system

00:00:12.699 --> 00:00:15.060
of our own making to drive certain aspects of

00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:19.000
the story. An extra touch of chaos. If you hear

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:24.480
this sound, it means someone has succeeded. If

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.160
you hear this sound, it means they've failed.

00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.480
To avoid injury or inconvenience, you'll hear

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.479
us call for a preservation roll. This allows

00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.799
our players to react to an immediate threat.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.520
When inspiration strikes, you'll hear us ask

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.399
for a luck roll. This gives our players the chance

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.560
to pull something useful from their pockets or

00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.299
the environment, right there in the moment. Try

00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:49.060
not to worry too much about the mechanics, though.

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.979
The dice are just for us. The story they help

00:00:51.979 --> 00:00:55.079
us create, that's for you. For more information

00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.240
on our rule system, you can check out the episode

00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.799
descriptions, explore our socials, or you can

00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:01.899
join our Discord server and talk with the creators.

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:10.319
Enjoy the show. Since the dawn of time, Ireland

00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.120
has played host to unimaginable horrors, ushered

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.239
in through an ever-wakening veil between our

00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.439
world and the other side. They live among us,

00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:25.650
shaping our mythology, sowing chaos. Scaring the shit out

00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:29.329
of people. Not all hope is lost. Underfunded,

00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:32.489
undergunned and underappreciated, the OSNA stand

00:01:32.489 --> 00:01:34.909
proudly in the way of unchecked otherworldly

00:01:34.909 --> 00:01:37.890
chaos. This secret network of brave volunteers

00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:40.709
put their lives and their sanity on the line,

00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:43.409
all for a better tomorrow. Have you ever been

00:01:43.409 --> 00:01:45.390
pursued by the living dead and sought refuge

00:01:45.390 --> 00:01:47.370
from their foul, shambling corpses within the

00:01:47.370 --> 00:01:49.609
sanctified walls of a church or chapel, only

00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:51.689
to realise that zombies don't give a fuck about

00:01:51.689 --> 00:01:53.829
God and that they can just wander in anyway?

00:01:54.349 --> 00:01:57.609
You better call the OSNA before you find yourself

00:01:57.609 --> 00:02:05.609
in The Bad Articles. Hello, hello, hello. My

00:02:05.609 --> 00:02:07.709
name is JR McCormick and I am absolutely delighted

00:02:07.709 --> 00:02:11.229
to welcome you to the second recording of The

00:02:11.229 --> 00:02:14.409
Bad Articles. This is an improvised comedy horror

00:02:14.409 --> 00:02:16.689
tabletop show set right here in Ireland, so if

00:02:16.689 --> 00:02:18.870
you're a fan of rolling dice, sipping Guinness

00:02:18.870 --> 00:02:21.590
and being mildly haunted, you've come to the

00:02:21.590 --> 00:02:25.449
right place. Every engine needs an ear, so give

00:02:25.449 --> 00:02:27.129
it up to the man in the hidden fortress with

00:02:27.129 --> 00:02:29.129
the headphones on. It's our resident sound sorcerer,

00:02:29.150 --> 00:02:32.870
Clark Phillips. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

00:02:33.090 --> 00:02:35.830
Huzzah! Every game needs its master, and guiding

00:02:35.830 --> 00:02:38.030
us through tonight's creeping dread is none other

00:02:38.030 --> 00:02:40.789
than our very own sweet prince of darkness, Aidan

00:02:40.789 --> 00:02:45.169
Kelly. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! And of

00:02:45.169 --> 00:02:48.110
course... What's a game without players? Before

00:02:48.110 --> 00:02:50.729
we abandon our real names and descend into madness

00:02:50.729 --> 00:02:53.289
together, please allow me to introduce our wonderful

00:02:53.289 --> 00:02:56.830
cast. As Maddie Murphy, we have Laura Conlon.

00:02:57.189 --> 00:03:01.530
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! As Dolan Gibbons,

00:03:01.569 --> 00:03:04.990
we have Patrick Meier. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

00:03:04.990 --> 00:03:08.169
Huzzah! And as Gideon Hubble, we have Niall McKenna.

00:03:08.590 --> 00:03:14.000
Huzzah! Huzzah! There's always a pause. Does

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.780
anyone feel this is going to be harder than last

00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:19.900
time? This is going to be... Like they've introduced

00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:24.860
new mechanics. Yeah. I feel... We are not using

00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:28.560
the practice dice anymore. No. We've got the

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.099
stabilizers off those dice. No rubber rings.

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.639
You're all going to be okay. Fuck. Maybe. I mean,

00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.000
that's what you told Con. That is what it is,

00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:40.400
yeah. So last time we had a little question.

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.020
Before we started, just a little chitter -chatter,

00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.180
getting to know you guys better. We've got a

00:03:45.180 --> 00:03:49.379
question this time around. Have any of you ever

00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:53.780
found actual treasure? Niall McKenna. My brother

00:03:53.780 --> 00:03:58.240
says that he found like a hundred pounds in a

00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.139
hedge one time. Is that treasure or is that just

00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:04.879
someone else's money? It has value. My parents

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.419
were like, he absolutely did not. Coins or notes?

00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:11.319
I don't know. I never saw it. But my parents

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.159
were like, are you dealing drugs? I don't actually

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.160
know. Am I asking? Get him on the phone. Get

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.699
him on the phone. Can we get a call in? Aidan

00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:21.480
Kelly. Have you ever found treasure? No, but

00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.120
I could see myself getting into like metal detectorism.

00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.379
I could see that for you 100%. Yeah. I've seen

00:04:27.379 --> 00:04:29.339
one man on a beach do it once and I thought,

00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.279
that looks like a nice way to spend a Sunday.

00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.759
Yeah, you would suit that. Laura Conlon. Did

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.079
you find anything cool? Treasure? I find a lot

00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.660
of treasures in charity shops. But I don't know

00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:42.199
if that counts quite the same. But my mother

00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.540
has raised me to have an eye for something that's

00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:48.199
worth a lot more than 50p. Oh, for sure. So that

00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.459
far. Yeah. I dig that. I believe that. Patrick?

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.379
I don't think so. When I was younger, there was

00:04:55.379 --> 00:04:58.620
like a sort of like a field area where... They

00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:02.139
found dinosaur bones at one point. And I didn't

00:05:02.139 --> 00:05:05.079
find them. I wish I did. But they had like this

00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.019
sort of like flint -like rocks. And I remember

00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:09.649
all the kids would always just like... picked

00:05:09.649 --> 00:05:11.069
them up and always be convinced that this was

00:05:11.069 --> 00:05:13.069
like a fossil from hundreds of years ago. It

00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:16.310
was not, but it was a nice wee make -pretend.

00:05:16.569 --> 00:05:19.670
I enjoy that. And I like that for you, especially.

00:05:19.970 --> 00:05:21.790
That's a good cover story for the treasure that

00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:23.709
you definitely have found and don't want to tell

00:05:23.709 --> 00:05:26.389
us about. Yeah, yeah. Both times you've asked

00:05:26.389 --> 00:05:28.069
us questions, Patrick's been like, not really,

00:05:28.209 --> 00:05:31.910
and then told the most interesting answer. Dinosaur

00:05:31.910 --> 00:05:35.129
bones? Yeah, I'm trying to auction off dinosaur

00:05:35.129 --> 00:05:39.329
bones in secret. It's my retirement plan. I love

00:05:39.329 --> 00:05:41.110
it. Well, those were all marvellous stories.

00:05:41.329 --> 00:05:43.250
I enjoyed them thoroughly. Definitely yours,

00:05:43.310 --> 00:05:46.250
Patrick, was top of the bunch. I, too, have a

00:05:46.250 --> 00:05:51.189
little story for yous. This wee story takes place

00:05:51.189 --> 00:05:55.110
on a Saturday in the town of Rathgoul in the

00:05:55.110 --> 00:06:00.129
year of our Lord, 1993. Now, as you know, this

00:06:00.129 --> 00:06:02.689
quaint city village sits at the heart of Ireland.

00:06:02.850 --> 00:06:05.410
But did you also know that it's within a stone's

00:06:05.410 --> 00:06:08.110
throw of the coastline? I know. Sure, that's

00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:10.490
madness, says you. But this is a place of tall

00:06:10.490 --> 00:06:13.149
tales. And you might be surprised just how well

00:06:13.149 --> 00:06:15.610
in the landscape is to change in order to host

00:06:15.610 --> 00:06:17.649
a good story. And sure, if you squint a bit,

00:06:17.750 --> 00:06:20.279
it'll all make sense. It can't have been more

00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.160
than a week since we last left our brave volunteers

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.660
raising a glass of unpasteurised milk to their

00:06:26.660 --> 00:06:29.959
fallen comrade, Clary Postman the Milkman. Warm

00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.199
unpasteurised milk, come to think of it. Which

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.199
reminds me, I really do need to sort out the

00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.259
fridge situation in the pub. The one one in the

00:06:36.259 --> 00:06:38.600
back finally gave up the ghost, which I promptly

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.839
sucked up into the hoover like a Dan Aykroyd.

00:06:41.550 --> 00:06:44.569
I'm only joking. That was just a wee bit of ghost

00:06:44.569 --> 00:06:46.370
-hunting humour there to try and lighten the

00:06:46.370 --> 00:06:49.230
mood because a man is dead. But I will say, if

00:06:49.230 --> 00:06:51.050
you're ever stuck, that Hoover trick does work,

00:06:51.089 --> 00:06:52.850
but not in poltergeists, for they tend to be

00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:55.790
thicker. Anyway, on the corner of Slitter's Cross

00:06:55.790 --> 00:06:58.129
sits a crooked and dishevelled little building

00:06:58.129 --> 00:07:00.649
with a set of big red doors. I'm sure you know

00:07:00.649 --> 00:07:03.970
it well. It's White's Tavern. And inside we find

00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:07.110
Matty Murphy, Dolan Gibbons and Gideon Hubble.

00:07:08.009 --> 00:07:09.829
They're all sitting at a wee table alongside

00:07:09.829 --> 00:07:13.189
our Mervyn. All dressed in black with sullen

00:07:13.189 --> 00:07:16.610
looks on their faces. For today was the day of

00:07:16.610 --> 00:07:19.730
Clary's memorial service. I'm behind the bar

00:07:19.730 --> 00:07:22.569
dressed normal because I didn't go. I wonder

00:07:22.569 --> 00:07:24.750
if your man Gideon regrets killing his mate.

00:07:26.629 --> 00:07:30.410
I regret killing my mate. Okay, it wasn't you.

00:07:30.689 --> 00:07:33.910
It was the big worm. I mean, I think... You acted

00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:36.629
poorly. But it wasn't intentional. I just think

00:07:36.629 --> 00:07:40.100
about... What he used to say, you know? A boy

00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:41.959
needs his father and a father needs his boy.

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:44.259
Well, yeah. He's never going to see his boy.

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.660
Listen, Gideon... Another glass of spiked milk,

00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:50.399
please. It could have been... I deserve the gastric

00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.480
disturbances. Coming up. Please stop drinking

00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.339
that. It really could have been anyone of the

00:07:56.339 --> 00:08:02.100
four of us. Four of us. Five, sorry. Birdie.

00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.560
He took his damages. I appreciate you saying

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.319
that, but I think I'm going to have to do a lot

00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.579
to redeem myself, to be honest. Well, I had a

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:16.000
thought about that. His car's still out there.

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.920
Not the wreck. Did no one take out the milk?

00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:23.639
Yeah, that's... I brought buckets and gloves,

00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:25.860
but to be honest, I wasn't very keen on doing

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:30.860
it myself. Oh, so now this is a... What you're

00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:32.919
suggesting is a group activity? Am I understanding

00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.080
correctly? Well, if he's looking to redeem himself,

00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:37.899
I suppose I'm content with just him doing it.

00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.940
I will do it. Right. I will do it. Is that a

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:42.840
hazmat suit? No. Oh. Just regular coveralls.

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.759
Marigolds. Good luck. Nice. Got a wee mask because

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.340
I thought the smell. Yeah, thanks. I appreciate

00:08:49.340 --> 00:08:53.100
that. I'll leave his... What's the term? Effects?

00:08:53.379 --> 00:08:56.840
Is that the one? The fucked on the tapes? Yeah,

00:08:56.860 --> 00:08:59.360
the tapes. Yeah. Maybe bring them in. Yeah, bring

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.679
them in. but in a solemn and respectful fashion.

00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:05.379
Here's your spiked milk there, Gideon. Thank

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:08.279
you. Please don't drink that. I'm begging you,

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.960
please. I was the memorial service anyway. I

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.580
know we didn't have the body, but every OSNA

00:09:13.580 --> 00:09:16.360
agent gets one. Look, it was very respectful.

00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:18.019
You know, everyone stood up. They said their

00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:20.820
wee piece. No, you know, he was a good fella.

00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:23.740
You know, it's dangerous work, so you can't go

00:09:23.740 --> 00:09:26.679
blaming yourself. I didn't expect as many milkmen.

00:09:26.990 --> 00:09:29.009
Honestly, neither did I. I don't know how word

00:09:29.009 --> 00:09:30.490
got out. These are normally close ceremonies,

00:09:30.629 --> 00:09:33.710
but I don't know, there must be some secret channel

00:09:33.710 --> 00:09:36.590
that all these milkmen communicate on. Hey, maybe

00:09:36.590 --> 00:09:40.769
there was a tape in the eventuality. Well...

00:09:40.769 --> 00:09:45.710
He seemed the sort. Speaking of, actually, while

00:09:45.710 --> 00:09:47.490
yous were out at the memorial service, of course

00:09:47.490 --> 00:09:50.190
I had to stay here with Bertie, but I did get

00:09:50.190 --> 00:09:53.929
a wee visit from a real postman today. And he

00:09:53.929 --> 00:09:56.590
did drop this round. How long? It says here it's

00:09:56.590 --> 00:09:58.309
the last will and testament to Clary Postman.

00:09:59.330 --> 00:10:01.929
He had it delivered here. He had it delivered

00:10:01.929 --> 00:10:07.769
here. Well, not him. Signed by Maud. Must have

00:10:07.769 --> 00:10:11.149
been his wife. Did that ever come up? I haven't

00:10:11.149 --> 00:10:15.710
even considered it. Oh, God. Oh. This might be

00:10:15.710 --> 00:10:17.830
terrible of me, but I just assumed he... Yeah,

00:10:17.850 --> 00:10:22.730
100%. Separated, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, why

00:10:22.730 --> 00:10:27.379
has it come here? Well, your own guess is as

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:29.399
good as mine, but... You're sticking in. It has

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.139
a wee tape here, so it does, and I suppose we

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:34.080
should listen to it together. Birdie, I know

00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.740
you're still recovering from your injuries, but

00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:40.519
can you play this tape for us? It's a toy. You

00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.840
don't need to... Shut the fuck up. It's not a

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.039
toy, Dolan. It's absolutely not a toy. This bar

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.559
to be lost without him will be honest with you.

00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.840
I just don't understand. I'm sorry. I'm just

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.350
very stressed. Guys, can we not... fight over

00:10:51.350 --> 00:10:54.929
Bertie in front of Bertie. It's a very sad time.

00:10:55.929 --> 00:10:58.529
People are grieving. He's got a microphone that's

00:10:58.529 --> 00:11:01.870
like robot ears. Sorry. Sorry for sparring in

00:11:01.870 --> 00:11:05.850
front of... Sorry, Bertie. That's your first

00:11:05.850 --> 00:11:07.830
step to redemption right there, Gideon. I appreciate

00:11:07.830 --> 00:11:09.690
that. Well, it was a step back and then a step

00:11:09.690 --> 00:11:12.330
forward, but... Sorry, in the interest of...

00:11:12.330 --> 00:11:16.389
You're in the same place that you were. Like

00:11:16.389 --> 00:11:18.129
snakes and ladders. Like snakes and ladders,

00:11:18.190 --> 00:11:21.610
yeah. Right, shall we play on this? Yes, please.

00:11:23.090 --> 00:11:25.289
Hey, it's me again, Clyde Busman, the Milkman.

00:11:25.470 --> 00:11:29.009
I'm doing a wee mission here for the official

00:11:29.009 --> 00:11:35.649
Supernatural Never Regions agency. And I'm going

00:11:35.649 --> 00:11:37.289
to Spars Hollow, and there's something about

00:11:37.289 --> 00:11:39.830
them. I don't know, I trust them. They seem like

00:11:39.830 --> 00:11:42.669
good folk. They were, and they were really interested

00:11:42.669 --> 00:11:45.389
in me and CJ. They even, they even came out to

00:11:45.389 --> 00:11:48.450
my car to see all the cooling systems I had jerry

00:11:48.450 --> 00:11:50.669
-rigged in and all. I accidentally called it

00:11:50.669 --> 00:11:53.210
a contraption, and they only made fun of me a

00:11:53.210 --> 00:11:56.309
little too. So you know, good people. They said

00:11:56.309 --> 00:11:58.429
they'd help me look for CJ too, and that, that

00:11:58.429 --> 00:12:01.149
means a lot. Uh, anyway, I'm on, I'm on my way

00:12:01.149 --> 00:12:03.809
to Spars Hollow to go and find some robot turnips.

00:12:04.429 --> 00:12:06.669
And you have a bit of time to kill. We're still

00:12:06.669 --> 00:12:10.149
like 40 miles. We're still going. So this is

00:12:10.149 --> 00:12:12.629
the last will and testament of Clary Postman,

00:12:12.830 --> 00:12:17.529
the Milkman. Amendment 56, this is. Amendment

00:12:17.529 --> 00:12:21.470
56. Now, if you've listened to the previous 55

00:12:21.470 --> 00:12:24.230
wills, you know that most of my things are going

00:12:24.230 --> 00:12:27.470
to go to Maude and to CJ. So first and foremost,

00:12:27.710 --> 00:12:30.250
it's the tapes. I'm going to ask Maddie Murphy

00:12:30.250 --> 00:12:32.889
to hold on to them for CJ, I think. I'm actually

00:12:32.889 --> 00:12:35.250
driving behind Maddie and she's a good driver,

00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:37.269
I'll tell you that much. And she seemed to really

00:12:37.269 --> 00:12:40.169
care about CJ. She didn't make fun of him for

00:12:40.169 --> 00:12:43.149
being lost or nothing. Did any of us make fun

00:12:43.149 --> 00:12:46.029
of him for being lost? No, I don't think so.

00:12:46.190 --> 00:12:47.649
Not a lot. I think the man just had a low bar.

00:12:47.909 --> 00:12:50.610
He also was totally nursing that robot turnips

00:12:50.610 --> 00:12:52.970
thing long after he said it was done. But anyway,

00:12:53.129 --> 00:12:56.279
let's hear on. But if she doesn't want them,

00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.659
maybe Assumpta will, because I've got two years'

00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:00.480
worth of tapes here, and she might want that

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.639
for her OSNA archives, because, oh boy, have

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.200
I seen some wild stuff in these past two years.

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:12.600
Like, actually wild, because now that I think

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:15.039
about it, there's a good few things on the island

00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.039
I need to tell her about. Anyway, next up on

00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.659
the list is my car. What a wonderful wee thing

00:13:20.659 --> 00:13:23.059
you are. But I think I'll give you to Dolan because

00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:25.360
his wife isn't around right now and he was wanting

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.919
to cut down on his milk. Can you imagine that?

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.679
Cutting down on his... Ah, but if he takes my

00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:32.659
car, he doesn't even have to because he could

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:35.100
just store his milk in there and for her until

00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:37.899
she gets back. Buzz, I'll just hand these to

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:39.740
you. It seems like the car is your responsibility.

00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.460
Taking care of it is definitely your thing, yeah.

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:44.759
So how far we've gone from redemption? I'll just

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:46.720
redeem myself another way. Now you're distancing

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.399
yourself. The worm killed the man. I just hurried

00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.200
things along. Play the tape. And then as a bonus

00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.379
too, this car's so good because now he has a

00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:55.539
secret place to come and cry if he ever needs

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:57.440
to. I don't know if he needs to, but he might

00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.679
need to. His wife's gone. I don't need to cry.

00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:03.600
You can talk to us if you need to. I don't. I

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.279
can talk to... You can talk to Gideon if you

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.000
want to. It's a safe space here. I can also talk

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.200
to my wife or kids. I don't need to talk to you

00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.110
two. But if he does need to, the freezing cold

00:14:12.110 --> 00:14:14.049
temperatures here keeps the moisture from ever

00:14:14.049 --> 00:14:16.129
leaving your eyes, so you can just feel every

00:14:16.129 --> 00:14:18.049
emotion you've ever felt in here and no one's

00:14:18.049 --> 00:14:20.889
any the wiser. Which is pretty useful from time

00:14:20.889 --> 00:14:25.009
to time, to be honest. Finally, there's Gideon.

00:14:26.009 --> 00:14:29.450
Gideon! He's seen some stuff too. He gets these

00:14:29.450 --> 00:14:32.230
weird premonitions of death and all that, which

00:14:32.230 --> 00:14:34.730
is mad. So he's going to get my milk holsters

00:14:34.730 --> 00:14:37.230
for safety, you know, because maybe he can keep

00:14:37.230 --> 00:14:39.370
his eye equipment with him at all times or something

00:14:39.370 --> 00:14:42.129
and then he can begin to weaponize his gift.

00:14:43.250 --> 00:14:45.009
I'm going to look like I have like an infant

00:14:45.009 --> 00:14:47.309
son. Like if I wear these in the street, people

00:14:47.309 --> 00:14:49.169
will be like, where's the child? Don't word.

00:14:49.690 --> 00:14:51.730
You're going to look like you have a gun if they're

00:14:51.730 --> 00:14:54.149
empty. That's true. You gotta put something in

00:14:54.149 --> 00:14:56.509
them. Yeah. Nothing scarier than an empty holster.

00:14:56.649 --> 00:15:00.389
Do you give us... Weapons? Yeah. Oh, I had a

00:15:00.389 --> 00:15:02.830
question about reimbursement as well. Oh, for

00:15:02.830 --> 00:15:05.429
petrol? Well, I had to buy a round of drinks

00:15:05.429 --> 00:15:07.830
and I haven't been reimbursed for that. You offered...

00:15:07.830 --> 00:15:11.470
Well, it was either that or have Wide Tommy come

00:15:11.470 --> 00:15:14.409
and beat you guys. Wide Tommy? Dylan! Dylan!

00:15:14.690 --> 00:15:16.870
I thought you guys had something. I thought that

00:15:16.870 --> 00:15:18.289
was a friendship for life. You absolutely did

00:15:18.289 --> 00:15:22.230
have something. Play the tape. Finally, finally,

00:15:22.289 --> 00:15:26.490
I want to speak to the person who killed me because

00:15:26.490 --> 00:15:29.070
I know in my heart of hearts that I'm going to

00:15:29.070 --> 00:15:32.429
be killed and not just die. So for you, the person

00:15:32.429 --> 00:15:36.029
who killed me, my first gift to you is that I

00:15:36.029 --> 00:15:38.450
absolve you of your guilt. I forgive you for

00:15:38.450 --> 00:15:42.070
killing me. Yes! We all agreed it was the worm

00:15:42.070 --> 00:15:44.850
five minutes ago. So we absolve the worm? Yeah.

00:15:44.970 --> 00:15:47.629
So I was never to blame. You celebrated a little

00:15:47.629 --> 00:15:50.169
too hard at that. I did. I did. That's another

00:15:50.169 --> 00:15:52.070
step back on the snakes and ladders. You're still

00:15:52.070 --> 00:15:54.190
wearing your suits. That's another snake, Gideon.

00:15:54.210 --> 00:15:56.389
Maybe this isn't about Clary. Maybe this is just

00:15:56.389 --> 00:15:59.009
about me being a better person. I think you don't

00:15:59.009 --> 00:16:01.330
want to clean the milk. Okay. None of us want

00:16:01.330 --> 00:16:03.029
to clean the milk. Yeah, but it's Dolan's car

00:16:03.029 --> 00:16:04.929
now, and if Dolan wants Gideon to clean the milk.

00:16:05.110 --> 00:16:07.490
All right. We just need to get the car in piece

00:16:07.490 --> 00:16:10.350
by piece. You're not bringing a bloody car into

00:16:10.350 --> 00:16:12.710
the pub. There's no room. There's a pillow table

00:16:12.710 --> 00:16:14.470
over there. I was kidding, guys. Pillow table.

00:16:15.210 --> 00:16:17.629
I'm sure you had your reasons, and I do know

00:16:17.629 --> 00:16:20.649
that you're going to be a milkman. 100 % you're

00:16:20.649 --> 00:16:23.889
definitely a milkman. So I can respect you doing

00:16:23.889 --> 00:16:25.669
your duty and just taking me out. Pause, pause.

00:16:26.009 --> 00:16:29.509
Milkmaster. Pause. No! No, don't say that. Did

00:16:29.509 --> 00:16:32.129
he assume another milkman was going to come?

00:16:33.029 --> 00:16:34.909
And they were all at the funeral? Was that safe?

00:16:35.250 --> 00:16:37.730
Look, I think that there's stuff going on amongst

00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:40.950
milkmen that us mere mortals can't understand.

00:16:41.330 --> 00:16:44.889
I think, you know, there's some weird... equally

00:16:44.889 --> 00:16:46.269
clandestine organisation going on there? It certainly

00:16:46.269 --> 00:16:48.649
is. Wow, this can be our next assignment, is

00:16:48.649 --> 00:16:52.169
looking into the milk mafia in Ireland. I like

00:16:52.169 --> 00:16:55.190
the term milk mafia. I like that more than believing

00:16:55.190 --> 00:16:57.090
that it might be true. Yeah, the name is good.

00:16:57.269 --> 00:17:00.070
Yes. Did you notice at the funeral, at the wake

00:17:00.070 --> 00:17:02.409
rather, they all ate sandwiches at the same time?

00:17:03.029 --> 00:17:06.089
The noise was unsettling, yes. Like a murmuration

00:17:06.089 --> 00:17:10.109
of starlings. Sandwiches? Excuse me, Mervyn,

00:17:10.130 --> 00:17:12.490
did we put on a spread? No, they brought their

00:17:12.490 --> 00:17:14.450
own. Oh, good. Yep, they all had their wee peace

00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:17.430
box and they took them out and then it was borderline

00:17:17.430 --> 00:17:19.609
deafening. You heard this big... Cacophonous.

00:17:20.609 --> 00:17:23.930
Horrifying. Pan, loaf, bread, butter and sugar.

00:17:24.150 --> 00:17:28.430
You know it. However, you will also know what

00:17:28.430 --> 00:17:31.470
awaits you now. So to my killer, I bequeath you

00:17:31.470 --> 00:17:35.349
my pride and joy, cow. And I'm sure you're well

00:17:35.349 --> 00:17:37.990
aware that she is the cow that makes my milk

00:17:37.990 --> 00:17:42.859
the purest milk in all the land. It's one cow.

00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.819
So much milk. That seems... I live in a one -bedroom

00:17:46.819 --> 00:17:49.240
apartment in the centre of town. I can't have

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.460
a cow. I can't have a cow. So we're back to you

00:17:52.460 --> 00:17:55.599
being the cow. So you killed him. I've got a

00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.559
lot of confused feelings about this. We can't

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:58.740
give the cow to a worm. We're not giving the

00:17:58.740 --> 00:18:00.519
cow to a worm. No, we can't. Don't even know

00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.059
where it is anymore. Although it would solve

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:05.200
the cow problem in many ways. Whoa. The cow problem.

00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:07.700
Assumption. Do you want to take care of it? Do

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:09.740
I? Fuck. Well, then it's a problem, isn't it?

00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:14.789
What if... The cow lives here. Free milk. I do

00:18:14.789 --> 00:18:18.210
only sell it unpasteurised. You do. You do. The

00:18:18.210 --> 00:18:21.250
cow can do what Omnibot was doing. Pour pints.

00:18:21.450 --> 00:18:25.049
And then I can take Omnibot back into my care.

00:18:25.049 --> 00:18:27.450
Maddy Murphy, you're not taking Omnibot out of

00:18:27.450 --> 00:18:29.970
this bar again. He's mine. He's perfect. You

00:18:29.970 --> 00:18:32.630
brought him back with a bloody working elbow.

00:18:32.690 --> 00:18:36.190
I've never seen pints poured like it. It's protein

00:18:36.190 --> 00:18:40.579
dense. Nutrient rich omnipotent milk. It can

00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:44.140
completely sustain the human body. And it is

00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:46.759
the only thing that I've consumed for the past

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.180
four years. Now, obviously, I can't tell you

00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:51.259
how I managed to get cow to create that milk.

00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.259
I mean, I think I did on one of these tapes,

00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:55.339
so maybe Maddie knows, but that was for CJ's

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:58.519
ears and not yours. And of course, such a magnificent

00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:02.480
creature draws iron eyes. And there are one particular

00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:06.079
set of eyes and greedy, greedy paws that you

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:09.750
must keep cows safe from. So your task... Person

00:19:09.750 --> 00:19:12.589
who killed me, Clary Postman the Milkman, is

00:19:12.589 --> 00:19:17.950
to keep cows safe. Keep her safe from him. Oh.

00:19:18.529 --> 00:19:20.930
Well, it's over. Is that it? It seems to be it.

00:19:21.089 --> 00:19:23.329
It was a lot. That was a nominous ending. And

00:19:23.329 --> 00:19:25.309
he recorded that the whole way to Sparrow's Hollow?

00:19:25.349 --> 00:19:28.789
That's fucking madness. Yeah, that's kind of...

00:19:28.789 --> 00:19:32.930
He's updated this thing 56 times. Knowing that

00:19:32.930 --> 00:19:35.890
he's updated it so frequently. Kind of gives

00:19:35.890 --> 00:19:38.589
me a bit of ease. But knowing that he had met

00:19:38.589 --> 00:19:42.089
us, had been sent out and was like, I'm going

00:19:42.089 --> 00:19:45.609
to die. Gotta update my will. Doesn't make me

00:19:45.609 --> 00:19:47.549
feel amazing about my connection with Clary.

00:19:48.509 --> 00:19:50.650
Also, Maude has written here in the letter that

00:19:50.650 --> 00:19:52.930
the tape was sent in no swapsies in all caps.

00:19:53.130 --> 00:19:54.630
I don't know what that means. I think that means

00:19:54.630 --> 00:19:57.210
you're stuck with a cow, sir. I mean, if you

00:19:57.210 --> 00:19:58.829
have the tapes, could we see if we have a man

00:19:58.829 --> 00:20:01.069
in 55 and maybe see who the cow was meant to

00:20:01.069 --> 00:20:03.549
go on before? It seems to me as though the cow

00:20:03.549 --> 00:20:05.049
was always meant to go to the person that killed

00:20:05.049 --> 00:20:07.130
him. But it was in the amendment. He didn't die

00:20:07.130 --> 00:20:10.710
before recording tape 55. But it was in amendment

00:20:10.710 --> 00:20:13.130
56, which implies it wasn't there in amendment

00:20:13.130 --> 00:20:17.190
55. I think you both make excellent points. But

00:20:17.190 --> 00:20:18.809
no, I will say... No, pick a side. I think the

00:20:18.809 --> 00:20:21.190
amendment, he named the three of yous, and then

00:20:21.190 --> 00:20:24.529
reiterated a previous point, potentially. All

00:20:24.529 --> 00:20:27.890
right, I'll solve for that. See? Kid gloves.

00:20:28.230 --> 00:20:31.950
Kid gloves. Ah, Jesus, oh. Tis madness now. that

00:20:31.950 --> 00:20:33.569
he left all that stuff. And I'm not saying no

00:20:33.569 --> 00:20:36.809
to the cow, Gideon, I'm not. But it's already

00:20:36.809 --> 00:20:39.470
out the back. It's out the back? Well, of course

00:20:39.470 --> 00:20:41.950
it is. Postman brought that as well. Postman

00:20:41.950 --> 00:20:45.769
brought cow? He did. Postman brought cow? Do

00:20:45.769 --> 00:20:49.670
you want me to walk her in? Bring her in. Go

00:20:49.670 --> 00:20:52.049
get her. Hold on. No car in the place, but a

00:20:52.049 --> 00:20:57.309
cow's just fine. Yeah. Get your massive broochie.

00:20:57.490 --> 00:21:02.069
I've got to say, that is the cow. That is the

00:21:02.069 --> 00:21:05.109
most cowest of cows. She has gorgeous eyelashes.

00:21:05.910 --> 00:21:08.150
She's a fine creature. A fine creature. Do you

00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:10.730
have a name? Oh, you do have a name. Cow. Pretty

00:21:10.730 --> 00:21:12.970
boring, really, as far as it goes. You can rename

00:21:12.970 --> 00:21:14.410
her if you want. I don't give a shit. No, no,

00:21:14.470 --> 00:21:17.170
no, no. No swapsies. Name is name. Cow is cow.

00:21:17.950 --> 00:21:20.210
Name is name. Cow is cow. Name is name. Cow is

00:21:20.210 --> 00:21:23.069
cow. I like that. I like that as well. Well,

00:21:23.089 --> 00:21:25.289
listen, seeing as you're all here and dressed

00:21:25.289 --> 00:21:27.809
all sad, like, might be that there's no better

00:21:27.809 --> 00:21:30.359
time than the present. to officially welcome

00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:34.559
you is Knuckles and the OSNA. Here are your water

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.519
-resistant jackets, your torches and your jotters.

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:41.440
Use them wisely. You'll also find £2 coins each

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.700
taped inside the jotters. You're welcome. That's

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:46.779
a wee per diem. So it is for when you're out

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:49.980
on missions. So we look after you lot. And yes,

00:21:50.099 --> 00:21:53.079
speaking of wee missions and sad clothes, the

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.019
Clippers pulled up an obituary from last week

00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:58.180
for me. So a fella by the name of Mickey the

00:21:58.180 --> 00:22:02.279
Mackerel Mulcroon. Reason being, he was the pub

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:05.079
landlord at a wee place called the Sea Signore.

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:09.339
That's S -E -A. It's on the top of Big Cliff.

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:11.440
You know Big Cliff? It's that wee town up the

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.400
coast road. Know it well. Well, that whole place

00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.319
just sprung up around the pub when it opened.

00:22:16.539 --> 00:22:19.900
Lovely wee place. But no wonder. That wee spot

00:22:19.900 --> 00:22:22.809
does a wee lethal. Bubble oink and squeak. Oh,

00:22:22.890 --> 00:22:25.029
Jesus. Delicious. Delicious. And it's the only

00:22:25.029 --> 00:22:26.970
place that does my favourite drink, El Fuego

00:22:26.970 --> 00:22:29.930
Numero 8. So I went up yesterday to the place,

00:22:30.049 --> 00:22:32.390
and the hearse was still outside. And went up

00:22:32.390 --> 00:22:34.089
again this morning, and sure enough, the thing

00:22:34.089 --> 00:22:36.230
was still there. The funeral itself was meant

00:22:36.230 --> 00:22:38.750
to take place four days ago, but what's left

00:22:38.750 --> 00:22:40.950
of that body is still above ground. I'm sorry,

00:22:41.130 --> 00:22:44.029
what's left of him? Oh, wait till I tell you,

00:22:44.069 --> 00:22:47.390
right? So he was 92 years old, and the thing

00:22:47.390 --> 00:22:49.869
that killed him was a fallen Casio keyboard.

00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.119
It cut him in half like a sheet of glass in a

00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.000
horror film. The back half was just a write -off,

00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.380
smashed to absolute paste. But the front was

00:22:59.380 --> 00:23:01.460
surprisingly well -preserved, so they've seemingly

00:23:01.460 --> 00:23:04.319
just flapped that bit into a coffin. So it looks

00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:06.660
like he's lying real deep in it, but he's not.

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:09.339
It's just half a man. Sorry, have you got a question?

00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.720
No, you clarified. Not the top half, the front.

00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:16.200
Yes, yeah, just schmeared the back right off

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:19.619
him. Yeah, the keyboard just must have fallen

00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:22.619
with some speed. With a Casio? I know. They're

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:24.759
chunky enough. They are big. The back of them's

00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.960
pretty flat. I'm assuming it was the rear side.

00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:28.900
Because the front, you'd be hit with all the

00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:31.180
keys and there'd be bumps. Makes you wish for

00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:34.059
a grand piano. Oh, the cow's drinking a pint.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.859
Ah, you're cheeky. So, now, that wasn't printed

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:41.359
in the obituaries, just to be clear. Right. What

00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.180
did they say happened? In the obituary, because

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:46.519
people will have seen half a body in a coffin.

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:52.019
Well, no, it's a private function. So they just

00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:55.180
said that the family are accepting any gifts

00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:57.599
or donations of like flowers and all that sort

00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:59.480
of stuff. But they didn't really go into the

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:01.359
details. They just said a bit about his achievements

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.019
and the pub. Now, just so I'm crystal clear,

00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.440
because this is unusual. And in case of an open

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.740
casket funeral, he would look just fine because

00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:13.660
you could only see the front part, right? I believe

00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:16.279
that's what they'd probably go with, aye. Okay,

00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:19.339
just so I visualise this correctly. Aye. If you

00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:22.220
imagine a normal open casket funeral and there's

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.779
a body lying there, it would look exactly the

00:24:23.779 --> 00:24:27.460
same, but about three inches lower in the coffin.

00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:29.960
Gotcha. Maybe they propped him up. I don't know.

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.859
I couldn't get in. You tried? No, I'm not going

00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:36.759
to go gatecrashing awake. On that note, though...

00:24:37.549 --> 00:24:40.569
I wouldn't mind if you lot did. Because it's

00:24:40.569 --> 00:24:43.750
been a few days. It's weird, right? I wanted

00:24:43.750 --> 00:24:45.970
to take my wife there and I couldn't get in.

00:24:46.029 --> 00:24:47.549
And I can't go knocking on the door. They know

00:24:47.549 --> 00:24:49.549
me there. They'd be like, he's here for the bubble

00:24:49.549 --> 00:24:53.009
oink and squeak and a big old drink. So I think

00:24:53.009 --> 00:24:56.230
it needs a wee bit of a softer touch. So if you

00:24:56.230 --> 00:24:59.309
could get out to Big Cliff and get into that

00:24:59.309 --> 00:25:01.670
wake and just find out what the hell's taking

00:25:01.670 --> 00:25:04.390
them so long. I haven't had an El Fuego numero

00:25:04.390 --> 00:25:06.990
8 in over a week. I've got a wee itch to scratch.

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:10.619
Is this supernatural or you just want a drink?

00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:15.440
All I'm saying is that's weird. And my wife and

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.140
I missed date night. So I wouldn't mind taking...

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:20.500
Yeah, right. Took her there on our first date.

00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.240
Split a big double portion. It was lovely. They'd

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:25.059
bring it out in a big plate, set it right in

00:25:25.059 --> 00:25:26.460
the middle of the table and just give you one

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:28.180
spoon and you pass it back and forth between

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:30.500
you. Romantic. Lengthwise. Thank you. Lengthwise.

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.619
Oh, not to be a pedant, and obviously it's a

00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:36.200
sad time generally, but double portion that you

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:39.640
split. So that's just two portions. But it's

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:41.359
on one plate. But it's on one plate. They gave

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.019
you less cutlery, so it was a split of all. Yes.

00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.119
That is intimate. Yeah. You lady and the trumpet.

00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:50.319
Now, I normally say to new recruits, most things

00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.319
are a bust. You know, just don't worry. Nine

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:55.359
out of ten, nothing weird's happening. You had

00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:58.660
a bad start, and I'm sorry. Rest in peace. But

00:25:58.660 --> 00:26:04.059
this one will be fine. It'll be fine. Convince

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:08.799
us. That'll be grand. A man's died. Look, anything

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.000
to get out of this. Dreary. No offence. It's

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:17.319
just the mood is sad and grieving. I just, I

00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:18.880
want to go to the beach. All right, snakes and

00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.640
ladders. Well, we're going to a wake. Yeah, I...

00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.539
We will be going from a Finnish funeral to one

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:29.759
that's ramping up. Ramping up for the big Finnish.

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:32.000
Assumpta, can we leave the car here? Can you

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.759
leave the car here? Are you making us bring the

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.019
cow to... I'm not making you do a damn thing.

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:39.819
If you want to leave the cow here... Where do

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:41.000
you want to go, cow? It's nice that you asked,

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:43.880
Matty. It'll be ten pounds. That's fair. We only

00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:46.519
have six pound between us. You're going to have

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.619
to give us a raise. Looks like you're taking

00:26:48.619 --> 00:26:52.099
a cow to the beach. All right, cow. Come on.

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:59.200
Follow the pound. Exiting the town of Rathgool,

00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:01.819
the density of houses begins to dwindle. as you

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:04.759
slowly venture towards the ocean. The smell of

00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.380
salt permeates your nostrils as the sound of

00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:10.240
seagulls and crashing waves fill your ears. It

00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:13.279
sounds like you're approaching Port Rush. You

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:15.440
travel along the coast road for about 20 minutes

00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.200
before seeing a beach in the near distance, stretching

00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.759
off to the left and right and flanked by modest

00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:23.740
cliffs. Resting upon the top of the tallest cliff

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:26.180
to the left there is a lonely turquoise -blue

00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:29.279
building overlooking the sand, the Sea Signore.

00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.920
The main road turns right into a winding trail

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.140
of that sandy grass that you're allowed to drive

00:27:36.140 --> 00:27:39.359
on and it leads up towards the structure. Outside

00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:42.279
you see several parked cars as well as a hearse.

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:45.599
Chipping paint reveals the render beneath with

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.859
various shades of old blue paint peeking out.

00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:50.500
The building sits quite literally on the edge

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:53.440
of a small cliff face, its back caked in salt.

00:27:55.579 --> 00:27:57.539
Getting out of your car, you see a beautiful

00:27:57.539 --> 00:28:00.180
view of the town of Big Cliff and its surrounding

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:03.480
landscape. The town is hugged by flatlands and

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.880
the sun is high in the sky, shining brightly

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.920
upon the buildings. It's like Postman Pat. The

00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:10.900
thought of Postman Pat reminds you of Clary.

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:13.640
In fact, the sight of the hearse, the funeral

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:15.279
clothes you're wearing and the fact that you've

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:17.559
come from his memorial all remind you of your

00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.019
friend Clary. That probably makes you sad. You

00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:23.099
also notice now that the wind is sharper up here,

00:28:23.140 --> 00:28:25.259
and that despite the picturesque vision of Big

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:27.740
Cliff below, there are, both figuratively and

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:31.440
literally, dark clouds hanging overhead. The

00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:33.519
pub is wide and stubby, with a substantially

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.000
sized ground floor level, and a smaller second

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.299
floor. That's the first floor for any Americans

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:41.240
in the room. By the front door, you see a chalkboard,

00:28:41.380 --> 00:28:44.460
which reads, Waking the Mackerel, by invite only.

00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.710
What does that mean? Waking the mackerel. He

00:28:47.710 --> 00:28:49.650
was called Mickey the mackerel. I know that,

00:28:49.730 --> 00:28:52.750
but it's not Mickey the mackerel's wake. It's

00:28:52.750 --> 00:28:55.829
waking the mackerel. I swear to God, if they've

00:28:55.829 --> 00:28:59.809
sent us on another hocus pocus, I don't want

00:28:59.809 --> 00:29:01.609
to kill either one of you. I don't want it to

00:29:01.609 --> 00:29:03.769
happen again. Who said that we were going to

00:29:03.769 --> 00:29:06.730
be the ones dying, Gideon? Don't amputate anymore.

00:29:07.089 --> 00:29:09.630
Let's have a heart rule. No more amputations.

00:29:09.730 --> 00:29:11.710
Aim for a worm, not for a friend. If it comes

00:29:11.710 --> 00:29:14.730
down to it, you need to kill me. And if I die...

00:29:15.019 --> 00:29:18.180
Dolan, you take care of Kai. We all agree this

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:21.799
Kai lives, right? Hands in. None of us were going

00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:24.140
to kill the cow. Yeah, I'm not doing a hands

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:28.119
in, but I agree. The Kai lives. Say it. The Kai

00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:32.920
lives. Ideally, no death, but if death, not Kai

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:35.920
death. Well, no, hold on. If death, cow death.

00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:39.579
If death, if the option is one of us has to die

00:29:39.579 --> 00:29:42.400
and the cow is included in that. only a few days

00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:46.819
ago, trusted us with so many of his things so

00:29:46.819 --> 00:29:49.420
that that would live on, his legacy would live

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:51.140
on. So if I'm in a situation where I have to

00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:52.680
pick between you and the cow, you want me to

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:55.059
pick the cow? Okay, when you put it like that.

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:59.380
Yeah, that's how I'm putting it. Like, cut off

00:29:59.380 --> 00:30:01.859
my arm, you know? I can take it a bit better

00:30:01.859 --> 00:30:03.359
than him. So if it's between cutting off your

00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:05.460
arm or one of the cow's legs, I should go for

00:30:05.460 --> 00:30:09.400
your arm? Yes, that's fine. I'm sorry, Kai. You

00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:11.460
come to us at a difficult time in our lives and...

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:17.099
We're going to have a big family of bereaved

00:30:17.099 --> 00:30:18.960
creatures. Anyway, listen, I'm going inside.

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:20.839
We're all in the perfect disguise, so hopefully

00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:23.480
we won't need a cover story. Right? Is there

00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.160
a chance that I, in fact, know who he is? That

00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.880
I've taken my kids here on beach holidays and

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:32.339
would have come across him? Yes, actually. That

00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:36.220
is an excellent question. Now... You're a very

00:30:36.220 --> 00:30:38.000
good father, I'm assuming, so you probably take

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:40.240
your kids all over the place. You mightn't remember

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:44.019
everywhere, so give us a wee roll. But I'd say

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:48.200
you need under 80. Under 80? Okay, that seems

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:50.019
very doable. That's an easy luck roll. Let's

00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:57.400
begin how we want to end. Oh, 18. You have indeed

00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.079
been to this place. It's a lovely wee spot. Mickey,

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:02.500
he was always there in the bar, and he has looked

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:04.900
about. 80 or 90, for as long as you remember.

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:08.279
Like, he's an old dad. You've been here? Yeah,

00:31:08.299 --> 00:31:10.599
I actually know this man, yeah. Oh, shit. You

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.640
should take the lead then. Regular customer.

00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:19.019
Well, he's not here. Yeah. Rest in peace. But...

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:20.839
Yeah, no, but I would have a reason to be at

00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:22.960
this gig. Yeah, of course. I'll just say I was...

00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:26.559
I was showing you two around. I was going to

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:28.779
stop by the pub and I saw the sign and I wanted

00:31:28.779 --> 00:31:30.700
to pay my respects. The cow needed a comfort

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:33.160
break. The cow... And we needed to pull it somewhere.

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:35.039
We're not bringing the cow in, but... We can

00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:37.240
allude to the cow. I think we're going to have

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.119
to allude to the cow. The cow is... It'll give

00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:41.680
us an air of mystique. Hey, have a look at our

00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.599
cow. They're called cow. I feel like I had such

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.420
a good cover story that worked so well and I

00:31:47.420 --> 00:31:49.839
don't know why we're... I don't know why we're

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.910
changing it. I have a legitimate reason to be

00:31:52.910 --> 00:31:55.329
here. We're just expanding on it. To be honest,

00:31:55.390 --> 00:31:57.809
I wouldn't mind paying my respects. Why else

00:31:57.809 --> 00:32:01.130
would you be showing me and Gideon around where

00:32:01.130 --> 00:32:04.049
you used to bring your kids? You're just guests

00:32:04.049 --> 00:32:06.410
and I brought you on a beach trip. Yeah, but

00:32:06.410 --> 00:32:08.009
then how do we know each other, you know? Then

00:32:08.009 --> 00:32:10.569
there's so much more questions. The car brings

00:32:10.569 --> 00:32:14.009
us all together. Don't I need a car? It's been

00:32:14.009 --> 00:32:15.970
a long week. I found out the supernatural is

00:32:15.970 --> 00:32:19.250
real. I watched a man die and I feel like...

00:32:20.269 --> 00:32:22.269
If we don't take care of this, no one will, and

00:32:22.269 --> 00:32:25.789
that's been very disturbing to me. Yeah, we're

00:32:25.789 --> 00:32:27.269
going to take care of it. All right, folks, get

00:32:27.269 --> 00:32:29.849
your game faces on, look sad. Cow, eat grass.

00:32:31.029 --> 00:32:34.369
You enter into a cosy, but not small, pub. As

00:32:34.369 --> 00:32:36.250
you walk through the front door, you immediately

00:32:36.250 --> 00:32:39.329
see in front of you a solid marble bar, light

00:32:39.329 --> 00:32:41.710
aquatic blue in colour, kind of like a swimmer's,

00:32:41.809 --> 00:32:44.710
with veins of gold running through it. The top

00:32:44.710 --> 00:32:47.509
is a dark walnut brown and shows its age through

00:32:47.509 --> 00:32:50.009
various chips, scratches and a bunch of those

00:32:50.009 --> 00:32:52.470
S's that people used to do in school carved right

00:32:52.470 --> 00:32:55.329
into the wood. Behind the bar stands a woman

00:32:55.329 --> 00:32:57.549
of around 90 years old cleaning some glasses.

00:32:57.930 --> 00:33:00.130
The door behind the bar looks like it leads off

00:33:00.130 --> 00:33:02.170
into a kitchen. I'm going to go to the bar and

00:33:02.170 --> 00:33:04.329
get a drink. Do I see like the widow or anything

00:33:04.329 --> 00:33:08.369
like that? You do. And as you hear Gideon say,

00:33:08.529 --> 00:33:10.789
I'm heading to the bar, you notice that it is

00:33:10.789 --> 00:33:15.019
the widow herself behind the bar. I'm so sorry

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:18.140
for your loss. I just wanted to pay my condolences.

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:25.579
Oh, that's very, very kind of you. Of course,

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:33.140
it's a sad day. A sad, sad day. It really is.

00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:35.119
I doubt you remember me. I used to come here

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.880
a lot, bring my family to the beach. Of course,

00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:42.619
we have many, many regulars that have come to

00:33:42.619 --> 00:33:45.559
the bar and... I'm afraid to say no. I have no

00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:48.880
idea who you are. What's your name? Oh, it's

00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:53.259
Dolan. Been a wee while, but I was younger. Had

00:33:53.259 --> 00:33:55.700
a wee kid. Didn't really like the beach, so the

00:33:55.700 --> 00:33:58.619
two of us snuck down here. And I'll tell you

00:33:58.619 --> 00:34:01.099
what. For an old pint. For an old pint. And I

00:34:01.099 --> 00:34:03.180
thought Mickey was good cracky. Tried to teach

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:07.380
him how to play pool. Jamie was useless. I'm

00:34:07.380 --> 00:34:13.039
sure. I'm sure Mickey was dreadful himself. Gods.

00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:18.139
Oh, yeah, a game would take hours. And will you

00:34:18.139 --> 00:34:20.260
have a little pint yourself now? Oh, of course,

00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:22.820
of course. At El Fuego Numerate, I'll get a big

00:34:22.820 --> 00:34:26.639
fish glass. As this old lady heads towards, like,

00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:29.500
under the bar to grab that glass, this whole

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:32.199
time she's been just sort of cleaning away. You

00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:34.639
know, like, wee bar tasks, cleaning other glasses,

00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:36.519
opening the till, giving things a wee wipe. The

00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:38.420
woman herself, by the way, she's short, quite

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:41.400
stout and powerful looking. Quite. Thick and

00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:43.920
luxurious hair for a woman of her age. More charcoal

00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.059
than true grey. But it's cropped real short,

00:34:46.139 --> 00:34:48.840
just below her ears. And she wears a worn leather

00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:51.880
Stetson. There's a wee TV, a little box TV, mounted

00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.139
on the wall, on top of a wee VHS player above

00:34:54.139 --> 00:34:55.800
you. There's an episode of Countdown playing

00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:04.739
on it. There you are there, Dolan. A big old

00:35:04.739 --> 00:35:10.380
El Fuego numero 8. That will be two pounds. Have

00:35:10.380 --> 00:35:15.900
we missed the conundrum? I'm sorry? I'm so sorry

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:18.659
for your loss. I'm not a regular. Have we missed

00:35:18.659 --> 00:35:21.099
the conundrum? Like, how far through the episode

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:27.280
of Countdown? Oh, that. Believe it or not, it's

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:31.780
a tape. No way. I could rewind it if you'd like.

00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:35.460
No, it's quite all right. You're a fan, or he

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:42.210
was? Mickey, he loved it. Truth be told, he loved

00:35:42.210 --> 00:35:46.230
this episode so much. Sure, he'd play it often

00:35:46.230 --> 00:35:49.710
when a new face would come into the bar. And

00:35:49.710 --> 00:35:52.329
sure, he'd know the answers. That would make

00:35:52.329 --> 00:35:54.829
him look mad smart. That's very smart. That's

00:35:54.829 --> 00:35:59.170
very good. I should do that with Sudokus. You're

00:35:59.170 --> 00:36:05.190
a puzzle fan, are you? Amateur. Hobbyist. but

00:36:05.190 --> 00:36:07.670
I suppose that's very much the way with puzzles.

00:36:07.829 --> 00:36:10.429
Sure, listen, there's no money in it. There's

00:36:10.429 --> 00:36:13.610
no money in it. You're quite right. Well, tell

00:36:13.610 --> 00:36:16.769
that to Carol, eh? That's what Mickey would tell

00:36:16.769 --> 00:36:19.389
me anyway. An el fuego numero 8 for you also.

00:36:19.570 --> 00:36:21.710
Yes, please. Go on then, go on yourself. And

00:36:21.710 --> 00:36:24.289
is that a drink that is bespoke to here, or?

00:36:24.630 --> 00:36:26.989
There's not another bar in the world that serves

00:36:26.989 --> 00:36:30.730
an el fuego numero 8. Just ourselves, coined

00:36:30.730 --> 00:36:35.070
right here, at the Sea Signor. Half a drop of

00:36:35.070 --> 00:36:39.289
Diet Coke there. And half a lark. Like a big

00:36:39.289 --> 00:36:43.309
brown shandy. Lovely. That'll be two pounds.

00:36:44.230 --> 00:36:47.809
Yep. Gideon, you owned me a drink, didn't you?

00:36:47.909 --> 00:36:50.730
I'm sorry for your loss. Here's four pounds.

00:36:50.909 --> 00:36:54.809
Take two El Fuego Numerates, please. One for

00:36:54.809 --> 00:36:58.230
yourself, of course. Thanks. Did Mickey invent

00:36:58.230 --> 00:37:01.969
this? It was himself and some of the other lads.

00:37:01.989 --> 00:37:05.030
They came up with the drink. The fella by the

00:37:05.030 --> 00:37:09.170
name of Skinny. God rest him, gone now. 13 years

00:37:09.170 --> 00:37:13.429
or so. And another chap of Samuel, but sure.

00:37:15.250 --> 00:37:17.869
The least we say about him, the better. These

00:37:17.869 --> 00:37:21.090
drinks are certainly fizzy. You're depth charging

00:37:21.090 --> 00:37:23.250
a bunch of Diet Coke straight into a load of

00:37:23.250 --> 00:37:24.849
lager, so she has to let it settle for a wee

00:37:24.849 --> 00:37:27.570
bit and then top it up like a Guinness. So while

00:37:27.570 --> 00:37:29.650
you're chatting, can I get a little awareness

00:37:29.650 --> 00:37:35.239
roll from you? 51 over 20, it's a fail. 99. I've

00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:40.159
got 32 under 60. Nolan, now while those pints

00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:42.699
are settling, she went back to her little route

00:37:42.699 --> 00:37:46.079
and, you know, she's like picking up wee, wee

00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:47.820
glasses, giving it a clean, setting it down,

00:37:47.940 --> 00:37:50.860
going and checking the till. She like picks up

00:37:50.860 --> 00:37:52.780
the remote and turns on the TV. But in between

00:37:52.780 --> 00:37:56.559
all of those things, she keeps like... playing

00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:59.599
with a different picture, and it's hanging between

00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:02.760
two of the optics, and it shows her and Mickey

00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:05.099
outside the pub. But she keeps sort of lifting

00:38:05.099 --> 00:38:07.019
it down, giving it a wee clean, popping it back

00:38:07.019 --> 00:38:09.179
up, and just making sure to square it up neatly

00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:12.260
each time. I will also say that while you're

00:38:12.260 --> 00:38:14.920
looking up there, you've been here before, and

00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.820
you go, I'm sure it's this place. You see a wee

00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:20.219
framed newspaper as well. So there's a newspaper

00:38:20.219 --> 00:38:23.079
cut out with a picture of young Mickey and his

00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:26.429
two mates, Skinny and Samuel. from about 50 years

00:38:26.429 --> 00:38:30.590
ago. And they're holding fistfuls of Aztec gold.

00:38:30.750 --> 00:38:32.650
And there's a headline that reads, Fishermen

00:38:32.650 --> 00:38:35.670
missing for two months, wash up with Aztec gold.

00:38:36.010 --> 00:38:40.889
That must be a picture. Of Mickey and myself.

00:38:41.409 --> 00:38:44.550
It's a lovely picture. Thank you. Precious memory

00:38:44.550 --> 00:38:52.190
moment. Believe it or not, despite how well...

00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.639
We still look. That photo's over 30 years old.

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:59.780
No. Believe it or not. Yes, indeed. I mean, you

00:38:59.780 --> 00:39:03.099
still look like that. You're awfully kind, Dolan.

00:39:03.139 --> 00:39:05.739
Me and Gideon are having like little whispery

00:39:05.739 --> 00:39:09.320
comments of like, he is barely dead and he is

00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:12.539
after her immediately. He is married. Do we know

00:39:12.539 --> 00:39:15.900
that his wife... Does he have a wife? Does he

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:18.940
have a wife? Keep it down, he'll hear us. Well,

00:39:18.940 --> 00:39:22.090
uh... It's awfully kind for all of you to come.

00:39:22.130 --> 00:39:28.389
How did you know my mackerel? Your names, sorry?

00:39:28.610 --> 00:39:32.550
This is Maddy. I'm Maddy. Nice to meet you, Maddy.

00:39:32.610 --> 00:39:37.050
This is Gideon. I'm Gideon. We were actually

00:39:37.050 --> 00:39:41.869
out awake earlier today as well. I was showing

00:39:41.869 --> 00:39:44.289
him around and I thought... My God. I actually

00:39:44.289 --> 00:39:46.230
thought coming here might take your mind off

00:39:46.230 --> 00:39:50.599
it, but... Of course. It's been a fortunate time

00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.960
for all of us, I suppose. It is dreadful, dreadful,

00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:57.039
dreadful thing. The cruel hand of fate and death.

00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:02.239
Sorry, what was your name? My name is Eloise.

00:40:02.659 --> 00:40:05.780
Eloise Mulcrone. Nice to meet you properly, Eloise.

00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:08.579
Sorry that it's under these circumstances. Remember

00:40:08.579 --> 00:40:13.760
the mackerel well and drink fast the alfuego

00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:19.019
numero eight. In his memory. Eloise, sorry, is

00:40:19.019 --> 00:40:23.739
this a private event or can we perch up? We can

00:40:23.739 --> 00:40:25.960
be very quiet, we can make ourselves very discreet,

00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:29.519
but obviously it's a very private event. Well,

00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:32.639
of course, we're... You know, we've been here

00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:35.019
for a few hours now and there's room here at

00:40:35.019 --> 00:40:38.219
the bar for folks that knew Mickey and, well,

00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:42.440
I suppose on this occasion, folks that know folks

00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:48.269
who knew Mickey. I'd say... You're welcome here,

00:40:48.409 --> 00:40:51.349
so long as you're drinking. That's very kind

00:40:51.349 --> 00:40:55.690
of you. Thank you. Thank you. We should go and

00:40:55.690 --> 00:40:58.789
pay respects. And Gideon starts walking towards

00:40:58.789 --> 00:41:03.070
the casket. You walk your way over to the casket,

00:41:03.170 --> 00:41:06.030
and sure enough, that front half of that man

00:41:06.030 --> 00:41:09.610
looks pristine. Whatever undertaker was onto

00:41:09.610 --> 00:41:12.289
him like he did some job, but he does look like

00:41:12.289 --> 00:41:14.309
he's lying quite deep in that coffin. We should

00:41:14.309 --> 00:41:18.389
have got this guy for Clary. Gideon. I'm not

00:41:18.389 --> 00:41:20.989
quite at the stage of grief that you are yet.

00:41:21.929 --> 00:41:29.170
Be gentle with me. I'm sorry. Thanks. Dolan?

00:41:29.389 --> 00:41:32.329
How you doing? Yeah, are you also grieving, Clary,

00:41:32.389 --> 00:41:34.210
or is it just me? Have I forgotten about this?

00:41:34.309 --> 00:41:36.050
Am I the only person that hasn't forgotten about

00:41:36.050 --> 00:41:39.550
this man? This might sound a little bit cruel,

00:41:39.670 --> 00:41:41.750
but he was such an odd man that it hasn't quite

00:41:41.750 --> 00:41:44.929
sunk into me that he's dead. He does feel a little

00:41:44.929 --> 00:41:47.010
bit like a figment of my imagination. It's fresh.

00:41:47.250 --> 00:41:50.670
Yeah, I understand. The cow doesn't help the

00:41:50.670 --> 00:41:53.070
situation, nor do the milkman who showed up at

00:41:53.070 --> 00:41:56.750
the wake. All in all, this still feels a bit

00:41:56.750 --> 00:42:01.590
surreal. Can I tell you something? Yeah. If a

00:42:01.590 --> 00:42:05.869
week ago, or eight days ago, I'd met Clary and

00:42:05.869 --> 00:42:10.550
he died, I'd probably be a lot sadder. I'd assume

00:42:10.550 --> 00:42:14.449
he's totally gone. But since... then we know

00:42:14.449 --> 00:42:19.530
now that things aren't as normal. We saw a worm,

00:42:19.710 --> 00:42:23.349
a giant demon worm. You think he's going to come

00:42:23.349 --> 00:42:25.010
back as a worm? No, I don't think he's going

00:42:25.010 --> 00:42:26.369
to come back as a worm, but I just mean that

00:42:26.369 --> 00:42:27.610
things aren't as clear. You don't think he's

00:42:27.610 --> 00:42:30.829
coming back as the kai? No, no. Keep your voices

00:42:30.829 --> 00:42:33.429
down. I just mean that things aren't as certain

00:42:33.429 --> 00:42:36.530
as they used to be. I understand, but it sounds

00:42:36.530 --> 00:42:38.929
like you're at the bargaining stage of grief

00:42:38.929 --> 00:42:41.909
right now. Exactly. Thank you, Dolan. Thank you.

00:42:42.699 --> 00:42:46.219
I'm just glad I have a support animal. Condiment.

00:42:46.420 --> 00:42:50.980
Sorry, the conundrum. Next time in The Bad Articles.

00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:54.079
Join our knuckles as they drink pints at a wake.

00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:57.039
I wonder if Dolan can contain a sexual charisma.

00:42:57.260 --> 00:43:00.260
