1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,399
previously on Dumbgeons and Dragons.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:51,960
turn and begin to see this huge glowing aura coming directly from Boppa, who begins levitating

3
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,960
from his bed.

4
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,480
Well, I mean, that's new.

5
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,480
That's gotta be a good sign.

6
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,840
Yes, that must be good.

7
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,840
We should go.

8
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:26,359
We should go get that dragon lady.

9
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:30,959
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

10
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:31,959
Amy didn't like that.

11
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,959
Welcome to Dumbgeons and Dragons.

12
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,239
I'm your Dungeon Master Russ More.

13
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:40,079
He, him also with me today is Amy More.

14
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:41,079
Duh.

15
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:46,359
It is me, Amy More, and I go by she, her, and I am playing a slew of characters

16
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:47,359
today.

17
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,439
I've got Sullivan Sleight, he, him.

18
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,239
I've got Thea, Mastasia, she, her, and a fun little bonus character I didn't know

19
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,320
I was going to be playing.

20
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Nighthunter, she, her.

21
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Let's do it.

22
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,960
And Karla Max did.

23
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,560
She, her, all of these gals also go by she, her.

24
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,000
We've got Yen Poldnuri.

25
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,719
We've got Anelia Strong, and we've got an Euryxia's Akra, better known as Glim.

26
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:17,719
And Tom Laird.

27
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:23,320
Yeah, that's me, he, him, and all of the characters I am playing also go by

28
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,040
he, him.

29
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:33,599
There's Lint, there's Telgir, there's Moot, there's probably one or two more.

30
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:34,599
Who knows?

31
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:35,599
They're all here.

32
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:36,599
Are you a janitor at some point?

33
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:39,399
Like cleaning up inside that first aid tent?

34
00:02:39,399 --> 00:02:40,399
I mean, why not, right?

35
00:02:40,399 --> 00:02:41,399
That's right.

36
00:02:41,399 --> 00:02:43,519
Well, as far as we know, the janitor's still locked away, right?

37
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:46,759
So he's still locked in that cell because he bamboozled Yen Poldnuri.

38
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,039
He does not bamboozled, that's true.

39
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:50,639
Yeah, lots of things happening.

40
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,199
But you know where we don't bamboozle people?

41
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:54,199
No, yeah.

42
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,960
Where's that, Amy?

43
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Over on Patreon.

44
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,960
Oh, yeah, we never bamboozle you.

45
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Patreon.com slash dumb dragon.

46
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,760
We're straight up with what we give you over there, which is a whole bunch of sweet bonus

47
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,760
content.

48
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,760
It's pretty serious.

49
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,760
Like the many, many episodes we have where you can find out all about Opal, who

50
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,560
apparently became king, Night Hunter, and Elia.

51
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,320
You know, sometimes you just have to write your own history, Tom.

52
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,360
And when you see your DM not not curbing into that, you just got to just take the

53
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,800
bull by the horns and make him king in your own timeline.

54
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040
I mean, was I supposed to be making you king?

55
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,840
Anybody else wonder if, like, he's definitely, like, put a spell on everyone in that town

56
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,840
to make him think he's king?

57
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,840
I don't remember in his character backstory that his parents were the rulers of this area.

58
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,840
No, I don't remember that.

59
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,840
This is a different timeline, you know?

60
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,200
It's been a long time since we talked about that.

61
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,440
Who knows what's changed in a backstory, right?

62
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,960
I mean, characters evolve, their histories evolve.

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Do their paths evolve?

64
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,520
I don't think that's right.

65
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,680
The history books?

66
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Maybe while he was a king, his dad became the king.

67
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,320
And then when his dad passed, now he's the king, so it wasn't...

68
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Sure.

69
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,320
I can see that.

70
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,320
Yeah.

71
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,320
Okay.

72
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,879
Now, are we talking like a violent coup or is it just like order of success?

73
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:13,320
I really don't see...

74
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:20,879
We're getting too deep into the Opal backstory here, but I don't see Opal throwing a

75
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:21,879
violent coup.

76
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,240
No.

77
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Like sending...

78
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,240
No, I meant Opal's dad.

79
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,240
Oh, sure.

80
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,240
In order to actually...

81
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Because normally it is a pass down through family type of thing.

82
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,680
I guess we don't know Tabaxi culture.

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,680
But what happens...

84
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,839
Or how old Tabaxi's lived to, because maybe his dad had to wait that long for

85
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,680
grandpa to kick it and finally him for to become the king.

86
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,680
He lost seven of his nine lives by then.

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,279
Yeah, he had to wait for him to become the king there.

88
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,279
That's right.

89
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:53,480
To make this story short, when you are a patron at Patreon.com slash dumb dragon cast,

90
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,280
you get an episode dedicated to you.

91
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:57,920
Like today's patron, Lindsay Bowen.

92
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,720
Lindsay, I tried to throw to you so many times.

93
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,720
It's true.

94
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,840
Someone said royalty and I was like, you know who else is royalty?

95
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,520
And then everyone talked over me.

96
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,560
Lindsay, you're royalty.

97
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,560
That's right.

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,560
You are.

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,560
Agreed.

100
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,560
Lindsay, you're royalty.

101
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,560
Thanks, Lindsay.

102
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Is actually also playing with us in the games that are running in the other episodes.

103
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:24,480
So thanks, Lindsay, for being here with us and hanging out on Patreon.com slash dumb

104
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,480
dragon cast.

105
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,480
Come join us over there.

106
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,480
Okay, bye.

107
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,480
No, not bye.

108
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,480
This is the beginning of the episode.

109
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,480
What are you doing?

110
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,480
Don't say goodbye.

111
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,879
Russ has this manic opal knot of stress inside of him.

112
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,879
He should not be elected to DM when he's playing that character.

113
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:46,040
He is turning into player Russ, which is very chaotic and dangerous for DM Russ.

114
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,040
Get it together right now.

115
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:53,080
We'll talk about this in the downtime, but this is an anchor point where maybe a little

116
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,480
chaos is needed.

117
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Fuck it, let's play.

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Fuck it, let's play.

119
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Fuck it.

120
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,480
Let's play.

121
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,480
Scared.

122
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,480
I'm Batman.

123
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,480
This is unsettling.

124
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,480
Not Batman.

125
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,480
You're Batman.

126
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,480
Okay, I'm Batman.

127
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:25,000
A well adorned temple is before us, built with steel and stone structures, gold ribboned

128
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:34,199
through everything as Flint and Bort push open large doors that echo through this sparse

129
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:38,920
chamber and take a few footsteps inside.

130
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:47,519
Up at the altar, Flint, you immediately notice the cleric who ran service for you when

131
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:49,519
you were growing up.

132
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:51,519
Father Murren.

133
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:52,519
Yeah.

134
00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:56,039
Got a little situation here.

135
00:06:56,039 --> 00:06:57,039
Yeah.

136
00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:02,039
He sits up from a pew where he's having a nap.

137
00:07:02,039 --> 00:07:05,039
All right, that's what we're doing.

138
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:06,039
Huh?

139
00:07:06,039 --> 00:07:09,039
Oh, hey, hey, Flint.

140
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:12,039
Oh, sorry to wake you.

141
00:07:12,039 --> 00:07:13,039
No, that's okay.

142
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:14,039
I was sleeping, sitting up.

143
00:07:14,039 --> 00:07:18,639
You know how us and the god business got to do it.

144
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:21,039
We got to just sleep when we can.

145
00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:22,039
Take it when you can get it.

146
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,040
Right.

147
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400
It's tough to tell if it's day or night down here under the ground, too.

148
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,400
So what can I do for you?

149
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,400
It's a golden hour, so you're right in between.

150
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,400
Who's your friend?

151
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,400
Well, this here is, well, his name's Bort.

152
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,400
Hi.

153
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,400
Turns out he's, we're sharing a body.

154
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,400
Well, it doesn't look like you're, I see both of you.

155
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,400
It doesn't look like you're sharing a body.

156
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Okay.

157
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,840
How to say this?

158
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,840
Yeah.

159
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,760
Without sounding like you don't, maybe, maybe how we say without sounding like there's

160
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,120
a couple.

161
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,080
You're a man of faith and belief that souls and spirits.

162
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,080
Yes.

163
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Yes.

164
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:17,880
So what if there were two spirits or souls that were trying to inhabit the same vessel?

165
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:24,159
Well, that would be very problematic for one or both of them.

166
00:08:24,159 --> 00:08:30,600
How would somebody go about and separate the two of them?

167
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:38,679
Well, there's rituals that could be performed to transfer one soul into another vessel,

168
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:53,960
be it a recently deceased vessel or an actual container of sorts.

169
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,200
But again, this doesn't look like an issue that is bound by you.

170
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,320
It's like, I have a friend who is dealing with this kind of thing that we need to

171
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,320
talk about, Flint.

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,320
Yeah.

173
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,600
Yeah, I've got a friend that's dealing with this thing.

174
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,600
Okay.

175
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,840
Well, it's, you require someone of divine power.

176
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,240
Oh, that's why I came to you with this question.

177
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,240
Of course.

178
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,879
It's not something I've ever done or witnessed, but it is something that I have read where

179
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:32,760
the two souls themselves, depending on how long they've been for, can be salvaged.

180
00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:37,200
But if it's been a while, they tend to merge.

181
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,159
We'll just estimate and say like 11, 12 years.

182
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:44,720
That seems like longer than anything I have ever read.

183
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,720
Okay.

184
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,439
So like seven years?

185
00:09:47,439 --> 00:09:49,080
Is that more along the speed?

186
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:57,519
It is believed that after a point, it's tough to say because souls are, there's

187
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:04,079
There's no precise way to determine how a soul merges with another one.

188
00:10:04,079 --> 00:10:11,600
But after a set point, those two souls begin to merge and their worlds become one.

189
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,579
Okay.

190
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:19,240
So let's say that they have done this merge and the worlds have become one.

191
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,799
Is there any way to separate them then or is it like too late for that?

192
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:36,360
Well, with the right person, with the right reason, and a ritual that is performed to

193
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:46,200
perfection, it could be possible to separate them.

194
00:10:46,960 --> 00:11:00,280
your eye as you're talking to Father Murren, you see a lush, rich forest come into view.

195
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,840
You turn to look at it, it's like there's this tear in the wall.

196
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:12,400
A bird flies out past you, Bort sees it and looks as it moves past, and as you

197
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:21,600
follow this bird and it lands on a sculpture on the other side of the room, you look back

198
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,079
and the forest is gone.

199
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:28,480
Is the bird still there?

200
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,039
Yes.

201
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:33,439
Does Father Murren also see the bird?

202
00:11:33,439 --> 00:11:36,240
No.

203
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:46,440
Okay, so for the ritual, we need another, or my friend would need a secondary vessel

204
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,039
for the souls to be split into.

205
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:50,039
Yes.

206
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:58,320
Well, yes, somewhere for the soul to go unless the soul wishes to pass to their

207
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,639
great beyond.

208
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:08,639
And kind of give like a little look and a slight turn of the head towards Bort, like

209
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:10,439
maybe this is something you're into?

210
00:12:10,439 --> 00:12:16,399
Bort shoots eyes and like just like, it's just like a hard line across the neck to

211
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,159
say nope.

212
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:25,439
Okay, what kind of, this might be a dumb question, but what kind of vessel?

213
00:12:25,439 --> 00:12:27,919
Where does one just find an empty vessel?

214
00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:40,079
When a person dies through natural causes, that could be a way.

215
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:50,599
I'm not saying it's the only way, but this is where it gets gray.

216
00:12:50,599 --> 00:12:52,439
How do you pick a vessel?

217
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:59,840
I think you and your background, you know how you can find a vessel.

218
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:05,440
Okay, now this might be a little bit beyond your know-how.

219
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,920
Is there a, I don't want to say specialty cleric because I don't think that's the

220
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,800
right term, but is there a specialty cleric who deals in this kind of thing?

221
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,080
There are tomes on it and many, myself included, have read on it.

222
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:30,880
I mean, gods have the power to do a lot of things, but who has access to a god, right?

223
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,400
It's a great question.

224
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,040
Certainly not me.

225
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:41,040
Then you would need someone who is close, who has been studying and exploring their

226
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,220
divine following for quite some time.

227
00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:53,580
Their closeness to their god is or could bridge that gap.

228
00:13:53,580 --> 00:14:00,220
Okay, so Hail Mary pass for a god himself or herself or just someone who's like real

229
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:01,820
tight with one of them.

230
00:14:01,820 --> 00:14:07,420
Yes, I mean, if this is something you're interested in, Flint, I mean, you fell asleep

231
00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:15,060
so many times in service that I didn't, these are questions that are somewhat out

232
00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:19,100
of the blue for me, but I mean, was this covered in the services?

233
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,780
Because I feel like this would have kept my interest pretty good.

234
00:14:21,780 --> 00:14:29,220
No, to be, no, and not not directly, and maybe that's that's my bad.

235
00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:34,780
I will review my sermons and see if we can't liven them up.

236
00:14:34,780 --> 00:14:39,020
But with that, if this is something you're interested in, I could I could show you

237
00:14:39,020 --> 00:14:42,540
the tomes and see if there's anything that you can glean from them yourself

238
00:14:42,540 --> 00:14:43,820
and help your friend.

239
00:14:43,860 --> 00:14:45,620
I mean, I'd love to have a look.

240
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:50,820
He beckons you and you follow him down a spiral staircase.

241
00:14:51,340 --> 00:14:54,020
He's walking a few paces faster than you.

242
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:56,020
Can I just push board down the stairs?

243
00:14:57,180 --> 00:15:01,420
Try no, that's your your character.

244
00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:03,060
You can do what you want to do, Tom.

245
00:15:03,340 --> 00:15:04,300
I won't stop you.

246
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:06,340
I brought my own character and you do what I wanted.

247
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:07,780
The camera pans down.

248
00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:10,260
You see Flint's leg kick out.

249
00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:11,419
Whoops.

250
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:20,500
You follow down these stairs and Father Mern is getting is moving faster and

251
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:23,620
faster and quickly moving down these stairs.

252
00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:27,539
And as you are moving and following him and trying to keep up with him, the

253
00:15:27,779 --> 00:15:35,340
the steps, like the echo that was happening softens and you begin to hear

254
00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:39,860
the sound of wildlife and trees and breeze blowing through.

255
00:15:39,899 --> 00:15:45,300
And you get to the bottom of these stairs and it opens into this lush green

256
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:50,379
forest, board steps down behind you.

257
00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:57,740
And he turns and looks at you and says, are you seeing what I'm seeing?

258
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:05,539
Man, we're this close to getting some answers and I don't know what to do now.

259
00:16:09,860 --> 00:16:21,940
We cut back to the medical tent and standing outside of the tent as we pan

260
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:26,139
into view are Opal and Sully, who are just kind of kicking the dirt outside.

261
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:28,860
What are you out here for?

262
00:16:29,740 --> 00:16:34,980
Well, I mean, I'm in charge of this whole place, but they don't let me near

263
00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:37,420
things of great importance.

264
00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:42,980
So you're the king, but you're not allowed to do anything important?

265
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:49,020
Not when it comes down to, I'm not really the most helpful when it comes

266
00:16:49,020 --> 00:16:53,060
to dead bodies and blood just kind of makes me feel weak in the knees.

267
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:56,740
Oh, they don't keep dead bodies in there?

268
00:16:56,820 --> 00:16:59,900
No, it's like the, it's like the first aid tent.

269
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:01,460
It's like people trying to get better.

270
00:17:02,220 --> 00:17:05,500
Oh, oh, that's why they didn't let you in there.

271
00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:05,980
Okay.

272
00:17:06,619 --> 00:17:15,299
We move inside and Bahamut is levitating in the center of the room, this

273
00:17:15,299 --> 00:17:22,259
brilliant illuminating aura coming off of him and everybody is in this room.

274
00:17:22,579 --> 00:17:28,500
Except for Sully and Opal, we've already established they're out.

275
00:17:30,099 --> 00:17:31,980
Everybody else is in this room.

276
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:38,220
I feel like Flamingons is definitely crisscross applesauce on top of Grantz's bed.

277
00:17:39,660 --> 00:17:42,180
Hey, hey, hey, how long has he been doing this?

278
00:17:42,860 --> 00:17:48,660
And Moot is just pinching Glim with his crab claw on the arm.

279
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:50,220
No, keep doing it.

280
00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:51,180
Glim, are you seeing this?

281
00:17:51,180 --> 00:17:54,220
I keep pinching because I feel like I'm going to wake up.

282
00:17:54,220 --> 00:17:58,140
I can't believe I thought he was gone and then I thought maybe he would

283
00:17:58,140 --> 00:18:01,140
just be unconscious forever and now he's glowing and floating.

284
00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:04,060
And like, I don't know if you remember, because I don't really talk about

285
00:18:04,060 --> 00:18:07,140
him so much anymore, but that is like totally on brand for him

286
00:18:07,140 --> 00:18:08,740
because it's so awesome.

287
00:18:08,860 --> 00:18:09,940
I mean, it's pretty amazing.

288
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:12,140
I am just going to keep pinching you though.

289
00:18:12,140 --> 00:18:15,700
Yeah, please do because it's reassuring that I'm not

290
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:17,060
waking up as you pinch me.

291
00:18:18,340 --> 00:18:20,540
Elia, so who is Shiny Guy?

292
00:18:21,540 --> 00:18:24,780
I'm not really sure, but I mean, it is pretty amazing.

293
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:25,820
It's very impressive.

294
00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:28,780
I mean, I can't deny the spectacle of it.

295
00:18:28,780 --> 00:18:29,820
I'm not sure.

296
00:18:29,939 --> 00:18:32,339
Opal, just be so mad he's not here.

297
00:18:32,339 --> 00:18:33,379
He's going to be so mad.

298
00:18:33,379 --> 00:18:34,659
He's missing all of this.

299
00:18:34,899 --> 00:18:39,179
Turn around and Opal's head is peeking through just big eyes.

300
00:18:39,659 --> 00:18:40,779
I make that tssst.

301
00:18:41,259 --> 00:18:41,579
Ah!

302
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:43,659
No, he makes a cat.

303
00:18:43,659 --> 00:18:44,500
It's getting out of there.

304
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:45,019
You know the one.

305
00:18:45,059 --> 00:18:47,099
Yeah, no, it's nothing in there you want to see.

306
00:18:47,139 --> 00:18:48,299
It's totally fine.

307
00:18:48,419 --> 00:18:50,019
I'm just going to sit here.

308
00:18:50,619 --> 00:18:53,899
Like, I can see the shiny light coming out from underneath the...

309
00:18:53,980 --> 00:18:55,059
I know, right?

310
00:18:55,059 --> 00:18:57,179
Listen, I'm only out here babysitting you, so it's fine.

311
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:58,220
I'll get filled in later.

312
00:18:58,339 --> 00:19:00,500
You're babysitting me?

313
00:19:02,019 --> 00:19:03,500
We flash back to Inside the Dead.

314
00:19:07,860 --> 00:19:10,539
A moment goes by and it's like stunned silence.

315
00:19:11,259 --> 00:19:21,420
Everyone who is slightly injured, not unconscious, begins to stir in their

316
00:19:21,420 --> 00:19:27,100
beds, like they are being healed.

317
00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:31,299
They unwrap bandages and cuts go away.

318
00:19:32,299 --> 00:19:35,900
Bruises and broken bones seem to heal themselves.

319
00:19:37,380 --> 00:19:38,900
Yenbl, are you seeing this?

320
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:39,660
I...

321
00:19:40,259 --> 00:19:41,420
It's unbelievable.

322
00:19:41,779 --> 00:19:43,380
Look at this, this man over here.

323
00:19:43,380 --> 00:19:46,660
He had a huge cut on his head and now it's disappearing.

324
00:19:47,860 --> 00:19:55,460
And the corporeal form of Bahamut begins to float down and right itself

325
00:19:55,779 --> 00:19:56,779
at the side of his bed.

326
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:03,539
He's seated there, the aura beginning to fade.

327
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:14,700
He opens his eyes slowly and he looks around at everybody and stops on Glim,

328
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:15,539
who's...

329
00:20:16,259 --> 00:20:17,259
Doing Zumba?

330
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:20,100
Still getting pinched.

331
00:20:21,299 --> 00:20:22,019
All right.

332
00:20:22,460 --> 00:20:25,380
Glim, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, Glim, oh my God, oh my God.

333
00:20:25,539 --> 00:20:26,819
Are you okay?

334
00:20:26,819 --> 00:20:27,900
What can we do for you?

335
00:20:28,540 --> 00:20:29,259
You're here.

336
00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:31,019
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

337
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:31,660
I'm fine.

338
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,860
It's nice of you all to break me out of there, hey?

339
00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:40,580
Well, it wasn't easy.

340
00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:45,620
The world's kind of, I mean, things are pretty bad.

341
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:46,420
Yeah.

342
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:52,060
Sorry, is anybody allowed to talk to the God or is it just her or I

343
00:20:52,060 --> 00:20:52,940
don't know how to do this.

344
00:20:52,980 --> 00:20:54,660
Yeah, no, it's chill in here.

345
00:20:55,259 --> 00:20:57,340
Oh my God, I was whispering that to Yenbl.

346
00:20:57,339 --> 00:20:58,500
Your hearing's amazing.

347
00:20:59,939 --> 00:21:04,899
Hello, hello, God, it is, it is nice to have you with us.

348
00:21:04,980 --> 00:21:10,459
Yes, just do a once around here, Bahamut, got all your names all ready.

349
00:21:10,659 --> 00:21:12,299
Oh, wow.

350
00:21:12,299 --> 00:21:13,099
That's convenient.

351
00:21:13,619 --> 00:21:15,139
It's nice that you're all here.

352
00:21:16,139 --> 00:21:23,740
You were in different organizations, I guess, when I last saw you, but that's

353
00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:26,019
all right, we'll sort it out later.

354
00:21:27,579 --> 00:21:30,379
What, what are we, where, where are we at?

355
00:21:30,859 --> 00:21:34,539
I mean, like literally or existentially or.

356
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:38,339
In the, in the, in the stream of, in the stream of life.

357
00:21:39,539 --> 00:21:44,980
Oh, um, I mean, there's not a lot of life left in the world, just a

358
00:21:44,980 --> 00:21:48,379
lot of orcas followers.

359
00:21:48,419 --> 00:21:48,819
Right.

360
00:21:49,740 --> 00:21:50,500
A lot of death.

361
00:21:50,539 --> 00:21:51,019
Right.

362
00:21:51,059 --> 00:21:51,459
Yeah.

363
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,419
A lot of zombie things happening.

364
00:21:53,779 --> 00:21:54,259
Yeah.

365
00:21:55,539 --> 00:21:56,419
We got anything to drink?

366
00:21:56,620 --> 00:21:58,019
Oh, let me get you a glass of water.

367
00:21:58,019 --> 00:21:58,539
Of course.

368
00:21:58,620 --> 00:22:00,980
Oh, no, no, no.

369
00:22:02,259 --> 00:22:03,140
Oh, something to drink.

370
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:03,779
Something to drink.

371
00:22:05,779 --> 00:22:06,460
Of course.

372
00:22:06,539 --> 00:22:07,060
Of course.

373
00:22:07,060 --> 00:22:07,820
All right.

374
00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:10,380
She comes back with a Fanta.

375
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:20,100
Welcome to the middle.

376
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:22,700
The middle, the middle.

377
00:22:23,140 --> 00:22:25,100
It's where we talk about things.

378
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:28,540
Stuff and things and stuff and stuff.

379
00:22:28,540 --> 00:22:29,660
And it's Christmas time.

380
00:22:29,660 --> 00:22:30,340
You Fox.

381
00:22:30,380 --> 00:22:36,420
Hey, I mean, I mean, I think maybe just the repeat song would

382
00:22:36,420 --> 00:22:39,580
be maybe better preferable at this point.

383
00:22:39,580 --> 00:22:42,340
I mean, is this just a cute pet name for our listeners now?

384
00:22:42,860 --> 00:22:43,180
What's up?

385
00:22:43,180 --> 00:22:43,580
Fuckers.

386
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:47,460
I think I'm comfortable.

387
00:22:49,060 --> 00:22:53,500
I just started sweating all flesh.

388
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:54,660
She's like, take it back.

389
00:22:54,660 --> 00:22:55,380
I love you guys.

390
00:22:55,380 --> 00:22:56,700
I don't I don't like it.

391
00:22:57,340 --> 00:22:58,740
I mean, it is kind of funny, though.

392
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:00,019
It is a little bit funny.

393
00:23:00,019 --> 00:23:02,660
Especially while I'm over here being like, what's up, fuckers?

394
00:23:02,740 --> 00:23:03,259
Yes.

395
00:23:03,620 --> 00:23:04,900
Carla's left the room.

396
00:23:04,940 --> 00:23:06,220
She's like, I can't do this anymore.

397
00:23:06,220 --> 00:23:07,420
Not the podcast.

398
00:23:08,380 --> 00:23:09,300
I mean, I think about it.

399
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:12,180
And if Amy said that to me, then I would like it.

400
00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:13,900
So I think it's probably fine.

401
00:23:15,740 --> 00:23:18,820
We apologize if we've offended you.

402
00:23:19,060 --> 00:23:19,900
Oh, no, I don't.

403
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:23,980
No, you know, you know, you know what you got into in here.

404
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:25,620
The obligatory.

405
00:23:25,620 --> 00:23:27,299
And if that's what got you.

406
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:30,380
Yeah, this is your first time listening.

407
00:23:30,380 --> 00:23:33,019
And then if that's the case, you've got to go way back.

408
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:34,339
Go way back.

409
00:23:34,339 --> 00:23:35,940
And you know that it's all in love.

410
00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:37,860
This middle is all about just saying how next week

411
00:23:37,860 --> 00:23:41,620
we're doing a sweet crossover with our good friends from Dum Dums and Dragons,

412
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:43,700
which we've played by now.

413
00:23:43,940 --> 00:23:46,700
And it was just a riotous good time.

414
00:23:47,059 --> 00:23:51,299
So funny and fun and awesome and like that thing happened.

415
00:23:51,460 --> 00:23:54,220
Yeah, I got a little confusing with the with the multi Tom.

416
00:23:54,379 --> 00:23:58,139
Well, there was actually a confusing bit about the other guy named Tom,

417
00:23:58,139 --> 00:24:01,220
because I looked in my calendar on Saturday morning

418
00:24:01,220 --> 00:24:03,579
and there was a thing that was like seven a.m.

419
00:24:03,940 --> 00:24:05,940
Russ and Tom discuss crossover.

420
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:07,740
And I was like, what in the fuck is this?

421
00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:08,740
It's like eight thirty.

422
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:11,059
I'm like, well, I missed it.

423
00:24:11,059 --> 00:24:15,099
Oh, no, I was like, I don't know when this got added to the calendar,

424
00:24:15,099 --> 00:24:15,859
but I missed it.

425
00:24:15,859 --> 00:24:17,139
And he's like, no other Tom.

426
00:24:17,139 --> 00:24:18,460
I'm like, OK, perfect.

427
00:24:18,460 --> 00:24:19,180
Don't worry.

428
00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:21,099
And then he was like, other Tom.

429
00:24:22,099 --> 00:24:23,419
Hold on a minute.

430
00:24:23,419 --> 00:24:24,299
Who is this person?

431
00:24:24,299 --> 00:24:26,740
If there's another time I could show up to my meetings, that would be great.

432
00:24:26,740 --> 00:24:28,700
That would be ideal.

433
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:31,019
So that's coming up next week.

434
00:24:31,019 --> 00:24:31,940
And it's going to be great.

435
00:24:31,940 --> 00:24:32,980
We hope you listen to it.

436
00:24:32,980 --> 00:24:36,859
It's another two parter one episode on their feed, one episode on our feed.

437
00:24:37,259 --> 00:24:39,779
We would love for you to check them both out.

438
00:24:39,779 --> 00:24:41,419
Hoo boy.

439
00:24:41,419 --> 00:24:44,419
Lots of good jingle bells happening in this one.

440
00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:45,659
Let me just tell you.

441
00:24:45,659 --> 00:24:47,220
Jingles and jangles.

442
00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:47,819
Yeah.

443
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:50,019
Amy's just been staring at Russ the whole time

444
00:24:50,019 --> 00:24:51,460
since he said, oh, boy.

445
00:24:51,460 --> 00:24:53,980
But like in Russ's voice, not in Grant's voice.

446
00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:56,059
And it's like, are they merging?

447
00:24:56,059 --> 00:24:58,379
And then he said, like, there's lots of jingle,

448
00:24:58,379 --> 00:25:02,539
but like he's using it as like a noun and an adjective at the same time.

449
00:25:02,539 --> 00:25:05,779
And I'm like, jingle bells.

450
00:25:05,779 --> 00:25:07,259
I don't see what the problem is here.

451
00:25:07,259 --> 00:25:08,139
No problem.

452
00:25:08,139 --> 00:25:08,819
Look forward to that.

453
00:25:08,819 --> 00:25:11,779
Go subscribe to Dum Dums and Dragons as well to make sure you get,

454
00:25:11,779 --> 00:25:12,579
you know, that feed.

455
00:25:12,579 --> 00:25:13,579
So that's coming out next week.

456
00:25:13,579 --> 00:25:16,740
And then we're off for a whole week, everybody.

457
00:25:17,299 --> 00:25:18,220
Bizard.

458
00:25:18,220 --> 00:25:19,220
One week.

459
00:25:19,220 --> 00:25:20,299
And then we're back at it.

460
00:25:20,299 --> 00:25:22,700
It's the week we take to rest our voices.

461
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:25,019
We don't speak for an entire week.

462
00:25:25,019 --> 00:25:25,779
Just save it all up.

463
00:25:25,779 --> 00:25:28,259
We're going to a silent yoga retreat.

464
00:25:28,259 --> 00:25:29,220
That's right.

465
00:25:29,220 --> 00:25:31,380
I'm going to a yogurt retreat, so.

466
00:25:31,380 --> 00:25:33,660
Oh, did I misread the invitation?

467
00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:34,859
Yeah.

468
00:25:34,859 --> 00:25:37,019
It's just all Denon all the time.

469
00:25:37,019 --> 00:25:37,819
Not a sponsor.

470
00:25:37,819 --> 00:25:39,700
Not a sponsor, but Denon, if you're listening.

471
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:41,220
Will there be Gogurt?

472
00:25:41,220 --> 00:25:43,819
Yeah, we hope so.

473
00:25:44,819 --> 00:25:45,900
I don't know where to go from Gogurt.

474
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:46,660
Me neither.

475
00:25:46,660 --> 00:25:47,180
Yogurt.

476
00:25:47,180 --> 00:25:48,100
No one ever does.

477
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:49,820
No one ever does.

478
00:25:49,820 --> 00:25:50,340
All right.

479
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:51,220
Thanks, everybody.

480
00:25:51,220 --> 00:25:55,220
Have a great Christmas, holidays and New Year's.

481
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:58,580
And we hope to see you again on our next episode.

482
00:25:58,580 --> 00:25:59,220
OK, bye.

483
00:25:59,220 --> 00:26:00,300
Love you. Bye.

484
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:01,500
Love you. Bye.

485
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:10,180
So I got to lead this thing, I guess.

486
00:26:10,180 --> 00:26:11,820
Well, I mean,

487
00:26:12,099 --> 00:26:16,099
no one else knows what to do or even where to start.

488
00:26:16,859 --> 00:26:19,259
Yes, if you could offer.

489
00:26:19,259 --> 00:26:21,659
Guidance or.

490
00:26:21,659 --> 00:26:26,379
Inside, they're all very willing to do the work,

491
00:26:26,379 --> 00:26:29,939
but you have to maybe point us in the direction.

492
00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:34,139
We can even start small, like how do we wake these two up?

493
00:26:34,859 --> 00:26:37,500
They haven't started glowing and hovering like you did.

494
00:26:37,779 --> 00:26:39,139
Well, they probably won't.

495
00:26:39,139 --> 00:26:41,779
I don't think they're gods.

496
00:26:42,779 --> 00:26:45,940
This one might think he is nailed it.

497
00:26:45,940 --> 00:26:47,619
Well, we all know who he's pointing to.

498
00:26:47,619 --> 00:26:48,740
Oh, yeah.

499
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:49,779
Well, let's see here.

500
00:26:49,779 --> 00:26:54,460
He walks over, gets stands up slowly, walks over between the two,

501
00:26:54,460 --> 00:26:57,220
holding his Fanta in one hand.

502
00:26:57,220 --> 00:27:02,539
Not a sponsor, but they could be stands between the two of them

503
00:27:02,539 --> 00:27:06,099
and holds his hand out over Flint.

504
00:27:06,099 --> 00:27:09,940
This light comes from his hand.

505
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:14,259
Shines down on Flint, but nothing, nothing happens.

506
00:27:17,820 --> 00:27:19,980
This one's not quite ready yet.

507
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:23,620
Ready, meaning like, like it will happen.

508
00:27:23,620 --> 00:27:25,779
Five more minutes in the oven.

509
00:27:25,779 --> 00:27:30,420
Well, he's he's a key player, so it's going to have to happen.

510
00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:34,299
We're going to have to figure that out.

511
00:27:34,819 --> 00:27:40,180
He holds his hand out over Grancis, same glowing light.

512
00:27:41,980 --> 00:27:44,980
And as Grancis begins to stir.

513
00:27:47,099 --> 00:27:51,220
Of course, this this one, this one, he was ready.

514
00:27:51,220 --> 00:27:52,619
He was just.

515
00:27:53,859 --> 00:27:55,220
He's seen some things.

516
00:27:55,220 --> 00:27:58,339
He's actually been awake this whole time.

517
00:27:58,339 --> 00:28:01,740
He's been just been enjoying the sponge baths.

518
00:28:01,740 --> 00:28:02,700
I don't.

519
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:07,380
Grancis begins to stir and he opens his eyes.

520
00:28:08,460 --> 00:28:11,140
Slowly begins to prop himself up.

521
00:28:11,299 --> 00:28:15,259
Oh, oh, oh, goodness.

522
00:28:16,779 --> 00:28:22,859
Oh, well, it's you've done some nice things with the with the sewer there, Leosan.

523
00:28:24,579 --> 00:28:26,259
Thea, Thea.

524
00:28:27,259 --> 00:28:30,420
Hey, hey, hey, whoa, hey.

525
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:36,340
Whoa, oh, boy, come on over here.

526
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:40,259
Hey, hey, you're pretty cool.

527
00:28:40,259 --> 00:28:43,940
Bonama just nods his head and backs off to give Thea space to take

528
00:28:44,340 --> 00:28:45,380
a couple of steps forward.

529
00:28:45,380 --> 00:28:47,500
Oh, yeah, she goes to his bedside.

530
00:28:47,940 --> 00:28:49,980
Hey, hey, so.

531
00:28:51,340 --> 00:28:53,900
When were you going to come and get me?

532
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:55,019
Oh, you know what?

533
00:28:55,019 --> 00:28:57,740
Lots of irons in the fire and you were one of them, my friend.

534
00:28:57,820 --> 00:28:58,779
Oh, wow.

535
00:28:58,819 --> 00:29:00,180
Look, Flint's still over there.

536
00:29:00,180 --> 00:29:01,420
God couldn't even wake him up.

537
00:29:01,420 --> 00:29:02,379
We've had our hands full.

538
00:29:02,460 --> 00:29:06,899
I tried to I was like in a ghostly plane at one point and I saw you and I was like,

539
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:14,660
Hey, Thea, Flint, but you didn't do anything.

540
00:29:15,579 --> 00:29:17,740
Well, new law.

541
00:29:17,779 --> 00:29:18,579
Where's new law?

542
00:29:20,299 --> 00:29:20,859
Well.

543
00:29:23,019 --> 00:29:27,019
Oh, lots changed.

544
00:29:29,779 --> 00:29:40,819
We cut out to a scene in the center of town and Glim particularly is following

545
00:29:40,819 --> 00:29:42,019
very close to Bahamut.

546
00:29:43,180 --> 00:29:47,420
Who else do we think would want to be?

547
00:29:48,019 --> 00:29:51,940
I know everybody would want to be, but if we were to pick three particular

548
00:29:51,940 --> 00:29:57,660
people, who do you think would want to be talking to Bahamut first?

549
00:29:57,820 --> 00:29:58,500
Opal.

550
00:30:00,580 --> 00:30:01,300
All right, sir.

551
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:02,900
And I get to talk to the God.

552
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:05,100
You're technically my God.

553
00:30:05,180 --> 00:30:06,500
You're on my property.

554
00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:09,620
Squatter's rights.

555
00:30:10,779 --> 00:30:12,460
Possession is nine times the law.

556
00:30:13,540 --> 00:30:16,220
I mean, I think Mute would go with Glim for sure.

557
00:30:16,660 --> 00:30:18,980
They've been hearing about this guy for a long time.

558
00:30:18,980 --> 00:30:20,740
Yeah, see what all the hubbub's about.

559
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:22,779
Yeah, Mute, Glim, and Sully.

560
00:30:23,740 --> 00:30:30,619
You're at like a campfire that's just at the center of town.

561
00:30:30,619 --> 00:30:32,660
There's lots of people milling about.

562
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:36,500
You three have Bahamut's attention at the moment.

563
00:30:37,099 --> 00:30:41,619
It's good to see you've been hanging on to that book there.

564
00:30:41,619 --> 00:30:45,619
Some people might have given that up a while ago.

565
00:30:46,740 --> 00:30:47,980
Well, I mean.

566
00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:51,019
Oh, well, she never wavered.

567
00:30:51,299 --> 00:30:52,180
Not one minute.

568
00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:55,620
Yeah, she's all like, I'm not going to give him up

569
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:57,940
and I'm not going to let him down.

570
00:30:57,940 --> 00:31:00,460
Yeah, not going to run around and desert him.

571
00:31:00,620 --> 00:31:01,900
Not a chance. Yeah.

572
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:05,180
I mean, I wish that was true.

573
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:09,220
Glim. He knows he's Bahamut.

574
00:31:09,220 --> 00:31:11,420
I can't. He knows the truth.

575
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:15,060
I held on longer than reason dictated.

576
00:31:15,060 --> 00:31:16,380
And then my friend got hurt.

577
00:31:16,380 --> 00:31:18,380
And I realized that was it.

578
00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:20,420
She held on so long, sir.

579
00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:23,500
You did. I lost my eye.

580
00:31:24,180 --> 00:31:25,180
You did.

581
00:31:30,660 --> 00:31:34,019
So he's like, I want to be a part of the conversation.

582
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:41,180
Look, I'm I'm sorry you lost your eye and.

583
00:31:43,180 --> 00:31:44,259
Your hand.

584
00:31:44,259 --> 00:31:46,100
Well, I mean, that that wasn't your fault.

585
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:47,220
Or was it your fault?

586
00:31:47,220 --> 00:31:48,820
I don't think it was your fault.

587
00:31:48,819 --> 00:31:51,299
No, no, I don't think it was my fault.

588
00:31:53,099 --> 00:31:54,379
No, I wasn't here.

589
00:31:54,379 --> 00:31:56,579
I was in I was in a prison cell.

590
00:31:56,700 --> 00:31:58,740
That thing that gave me my new hand.

591
00:31:58,740 --> 00:32:01,139
He didn't seem to know anything about you when I asked him.

592
00:32:02,099 --> 00:32:05,539
Well, you're dealing in some different things, aren't you?

593
00:32:05,859 --> 00:32:07,980
I mean, it was either that or stay there forever.

594
00:32:07,980 --> 00:32:10,500
So I think I made the right choice.

595
00:32:11,179 --> 00:32:13,859
Yeah, we'll sort that out.

596
00:32:13,859 --> 00:32:16,059
I know that it might come in handy.

597
00:32:16,059 --> 00:32:17,939
Let's just put it that way.

598
00:32:17,940 --> 00:32:21,180
I mean, it already has with all you guys too soon being gone.

599
00:32:21,180 --> 00:32:25,660
Like I was able to actually use some magic and and help out the team.

600
00:32:25,940 --> 00:32:28,900
And Glim, I know that you wavered.

601
00:32:29,620 --> 00:32:32,100
I mean, I still loved you in my heart, but I just couldn't.

602
00:32:32,539 --> 00:32:37,660
I couldn't dedicate myself to you once it was actively causing harm.

603
00:32:37,660 --> 00:32:42,620
I mean, a loving God is about love, not about hurting people.

604
00:32:42,620 --> 00:32:47,380
So but you're back and you're here.

605
00:32:47,540 --> 00:32:51,860
And now all we have to do is find the other gods, bring them here.

606
00:32:52,820 --> 00:32:54,260
And save the world.

607
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:56,500
That would be a way to do it.

608
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:02,340
A lot of the gods are.

609
00:33:02,340 --> 00:33:05,340
Are gone already, though.

610
00:33:05,340 --> 00:33:08,500
But like not not all of them, though, right?

611
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:10,420
No, no.

612
00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:13,420
He takes a big drink of Fanta, not a sponsor.

613
00:33:13,420 --> 00:33:17,940
No, not not all of them.

614
00:33:17,940 --> 00:33:21,820
I mean, there's a few that pass through the cell and came and went and.

615
00:33:24,779 --> 00:33:28,220
I get the I get the feeling that there's there's quite a few more.

616
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:34,580
Places judging by the state of the state, the world that right now.

617
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:40,140
That there's more of those facilities and more gods passing through the

618
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:42,060
through them.

619
00:33:42,619 --> 00:33:46,500
Yeah, it's an insensitive term, but passing through the meat grinder.

620
00:33:47,099 --> 00:33:47,899
Oh, boy.

621
00:33:47,899 --> 00:33:49,379
Oh, jeez.

622
00:33:49,379 --> 00:33:52,019
Well, you know, work is he deals in

623
00:33:52,019 --> 00:33:54,619
the intricacies of.

624
00:33:54,619 --> 00:33:56,220
It's an accurate term.

625
00:33:56,220 --> 00:33:59,259
It just. Yeah.

626
00:33:59,579 --> 00:34:03,019
Out of curiosity.

627
00:34:04,539 --> 00:34:09,699
What happens to all the ones that we left behind,

628
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:11,340
like the group that rescued you?

629
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:13,780
They. They left some behind.

630
00:34:13,780 --> 00:34:17,180
Are they going through that?

631
00:34:17,180 --> 00:34:18,539
Grinder.

632
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:23,220
He probably eventually,

633
00:34:23,220 --> 00:34:26,940
I mean, the cells themselves drain the energy back to.

634
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:33,820
The abyss, I presume, is where Orcus is, he siphons their power

635
00:34:33,820 --> 00:34:37,300
and then when they are weak enough, he consumes them.

636
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:38,900
Oh, boy.

637
00:34:39,820 --> 00:34:40,940
What a dick.

638
00:34:40,940 --> 00:34:43,700
Yeah, I would think it would go without saying at this point,

639
00:34:43,700 --> 00:34:46,780
but fuck that guy, am I right?

640
00:34:46,780 --> 00:34:47,659
I mean, yeah.

641
00:34:47,659 --> 00:34:49,139
Oh, my glam.

642
00:34:49,139 --> 00:34:51,019
She's the wait.

643
00:34:51,019 --> 00:34:53,780
I love it when she swears.

644
00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:58,900
So, I mean, I hate you just woke up

645
00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:02,460
and now we're all like, hey, can you solve all of our problems for us?

646
00:35:03,059 --> 00:35:05,900
But do you have any idea of how to solve all these problems?

647
00:35:06,019 --> 00:35:08,860
Well, yeah, I've got some.

648
00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:12,380
I don't see everybody here who we need.

649
00:35:12,940 --> 00:35:16,740
I mean, there's the there's the one who's still dealing

650
00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:19,220
with some internal turmoil right now.

651
00:35:20,140 --> 00:35:22,500
We'll have to wake him up.

652
00:35:23,579 --> 00:35:26,940
And then there's some others that we'll have to find.

653
00:35:27,340 --> 00:35:32,059
But, I mean, more importantly, there are a few places we need to send you.

654
00:35:33,260 --> 00:35:35,579
All of which give us more time.

655
00:35:35,579 --> 00:35:37,620
OK, well, where do we go?

656
00:35:37,659 --> 00:35:38,980
What do we do?

657
00:35:38,980 --> 00:35:44,139
Some some of you and he just kind of waves his hand to

658
00:35:44,699 --> 00:35:49,380
the the general vicinity where people are looking around

659
00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:51,940
corners at the god in the center of their town.

660
00:35:52,940 --> 00:35:57,699
Some of you will need to come back and tell me.

661
00:35:59,659 --> 00:36:03,380
In Celestia, before it's taken, that this is happening.

662
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:06,179
It will happen.

663
00:36:06,419 --> 00:36:09,339
So so I tell you what and tell you.

664
00:36:11,099 --> 00:36:15,980
Go. Back in through time.

665
00:36:16,539 --> 00:36:21,460
Oh, OK, yeah, yeah, naturally, like one does.

666
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:24,779
Well, you have the soul bridge jam, right?

667
00:36:24,779 --> 00:36:29,059
Uh, yeah, yeah, so we just need to go back in time,

668
00:36:29,059 --> 00:36:33,179
go to Celestia and warn you that Orcus is coming and then.

669
00:36:33,699 --> 00:36:37,099
Yeah, yeah, and then just like a watch out.

670
00:36:37,299 --> 00:36:38,579
Well, that's part of it.

671
00:36:38,579 --> 00:36:43,219
That's that's part one of what we call Bahamut's four pronged.

672
00:36:43,419 --> 00:36:46,699
Oh, wait, Sully, is your plan to just hide in the shadows

673
00:36:46,699 --> 00:36:49,379
until he walks by and then jump out with this warning?

674
00:36:49,379 --> 00:36:51,259
Well, I mean, no problem.

675
00:36:51,259 --> 00:36:53,739
Maybe I'm not sure. I haven't really thought it out yet. OK.

676
00:36:55,179 --> 00:36:55,980
That's one part.

677
00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:59,419
We don't we don't necessarily that's not necessarily the first part.

678
00:36:59,419 --> 00:37:02,819
But once we have all the pieces in play, that's a major part.

679
00:37:02,940 --> 00:37:06,100
And sorry, it was Bahamut's four pronged plan.

680
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:08,900
Four pronged plan.

681
00:37:08,900 --> 00:37:10,220
There's four prongs.

682
00:37:10,220 --> 00:37:13,980
I probably should have put this one closer to the end, but that's OK.

683
00:37:13,980 --> 00:37:14,820
We're here now.

684
00:37:14,820 --> 00:37:20,260
So it's Bahamut's four non sequential pronged plan in no particular order.

685
00:37:20,380 --> 00:37:23,100
OK. Another prong of Bahamut's

686
00:37:24,340 --> 00:37:27,580
is, yeah, he's referring to himself in the third person.

687
00:37:27,580 --> 00:37:28,740
He's a god. He can do it.

688
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:34,260
Another prong for Bahamut's four pronged plan is bringing your

689
00:37:34,260 --> 00:37:38,460
not not your, but bringing the sexy back.

690
00:37:38,780 --> 00:37:39,780
Sexy back.

691
00:37:39,780 --> 00:37:40,980
Is that what he's called?

692
00:37:40,980 --> 00:37:44,060
Flint, I think, is his name, but we can bring sexy back.

693
00:37:44,060 --> 00:37:46,820
Yeah, I mean, he's got that deep V going on there.

694
00:37:46,820 --> 00:37:49,660
That Hawaiian shirt. Yeah, sure.

695
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:52,100
Yeah, no. So we need to.

696
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,060
OK, so we got to warn you.

697
00:37:54,060 --> 00:37:55,460
We got to bring sexy back.

698
00:37:55,460 --> 00:37:57,020
He's key.

699
00:37:57,019 --> 00:37:58,980
We've got to.

700
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:02,300
You may have already done it, maybe.

701
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:07,219
Recruit. Orcas's right and left hand.

702
00:38:08,179 --> 00:38:13,659
Recruit meaning bring to our side, the little one and the Dragonborn.

703
00:38:14,699 --> 00:38:16,940
Yeah, yeah, yeah, them.

704
00:38:18,099 --> 00:38:21,300
OK, I feel like that's going to be tough.

705
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:25,500
Yeah, because they are just like really team orcas right now.

706
00:38:25,739 --> 00:38:29,579
Yeah, well, I mean, once one of them goes, maybe the other one will go.

707
00:38:29,579 --> 00:38:32,099
Maybe it's just one of them that we need.

708
00:38:32,099 --> 00:38:34,980
Which one? I don't know.

709
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:38,260
You told me, well, I mean,

710
00:38:38,260 --> 00:38:41,460
you told me that that's what happened,

711
00:38:42,219 --> 00:38:44,179
is that you recruited them.

712
00:38:44,179 --> 00:38:47,500
So I presume that you recruited.

713
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:49,980
What? Oh, because we've already.

714
00:38:49,980 --> 00:38:52,380
Back in time and told me all of this.

715
00:38:52,380 --> 00:38:53,860
Yeah, OK, so sorry.

716
00:38:53,860 --> 00:38:56,420
But you still ended up in jail.

717
00:38:56,420 --> 00:38:58,539
Yeah. So I won and meant nothing.

718
00:38:58,539 --> 00:39:00,380
And did we not do it right the first time?

719
00:39:00,380 --> 00:39:02,619
Was the hiding in the shadows the better plan?

720
00:39:02,619 --> 00:39:04,900
And we screwed it up.

721
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:10,340
Well, no, see, there's this thing about time is it's a construct

722
00:39:10,860 --> 00:39:14,140
and continuously moves forward in its own way.

723
00:39:14,420 --> 00:39:19,340
So what happens is you come back and warn me and.

724
00:39:19,660 --> 00:39:23,700
We're getting to the fourth prong, because we've got so far worn Bahama.

725
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:26,860
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've got wake up sexy.

726
00:39:27,860 --> 00:39:31,100
We've got recruit left and right hands.

727
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:35,340
Yeah, left and right hand and go to the abyss.

728
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:38,260
Oh, OK, now hold on.

729
00:39:38,260 --> 00:39:39,660
Now it seems like sequence.

730
00:39:39,660 --> 00:39:41,460
It seems like the sequence of these.

731
00:39:41,460 --> 00:39:48,300
I understand that to you, probably time is all happening at once.

732
00:39:49,260 --> 00:39:54,700
And it's not linear, but for us it is.

733
00:39:56,300 --> 00:40:00,060
So the sequence of the plan is sort of important.

734
00:40:01,220 --> 00:40:02,660
Yeah, totally.

735
00:40:02,660 --> 00:40:04,860
And when we're in the abyss, what are we doing?

736
00:40:04,860 --> 00:40:06,940
Yeah, which one do we go to the abyss first?

737
00:40:06,940 --> 00:40:10,500
Stopping, well, killing Orcas.

738
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:12,380
Oh, OK, OK.

739
00:40:12,380 --> 00:40:15,539
What's the only place you can actually do it

740
00:40:15,539 --> 00:40:18,699
is in his home plane of the abyss.

741
00:40:18,980 --> 00:40:20,219
That's new information.

742
00:40:20,219 --> 00:40:21,380
That's good to know.

743
00:40:21,380 --> 00:40:26,579
But also you're going back to before he takes over

744
00:40:27,139 --> 00:40:30,579
all of the gods before he's all powerful and stuff.

745
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:34,019
OK, so first go back one year.

746
00:40:34,019 --> 00:40:35,699
OK, that seems like the first step.

747
00:40:35,699 --> 00:40:37,980
Yeah. Kill Orcas.

748
00:40:37,980 --> 00:40:40,380
Yeah, OK. No, no, no.

749
00:40:40,380 --> 00:40:42,380
Yeah, I think recruit second.

750
00:40:42,780 --> 00:40:49,019
The hands and then kill Orcas and then wake sexy up.

751
00:40:49,019 --> 00:40:52,099
No, I well, what is he going to kill Orcas?

752
00:40:52,099 --> 00:40:54,140
Because I think that maybe that matters, too.

753
00:40:54,140 --> 00:40:55,500
He didn't come see me.

754
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:59,980
So I presume that maybe he went somewhere else.

755
00:41:00,940 --> 00:41:04,900
Oh, so these it is non-sequential

756
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:07,539
because different people are doing.

757
00:41:07,539 --> 00:41:10,460
We've been sort of on this whole like our own program

758
00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:13,820
where like we're doing our thing, you know, for so long.

759
00:41:13,820 --> 00:41:15,820
We don't have to do all these things.

760
00:41:15,820 --> 00:41:19,500
No, well, I think you use the whole group.

761
00:41:19,699 --> 00:41:22,980
Right. I mean, we have we have you three.

762
00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:26,780
We've got four others and then some others over there.

763
00:41:27,059 --> 00:41:29,980
There's a lot of there's a lot of irons in the fire.

764
00:41:30,019 --> 00:41:33,300
How many how many of us are working on this right now?

765
00:41:34,260 --> 00:41:36,260
Or is that just going to destroy my mind?

766
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:38,220
That's not even going. Oh, shit.

767
00:41:38,220 --> 00:41:40,420
Because what's going to happen?

768
00:41:40,619 --> 00:41:43,500
Is you're going to go back in time.

769
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:47,059
And time. Changes. Right.

770
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:51,659
These people here.

771
00:41:52,820 --> 00:41:55,260
Probably won't see that change.

772
00:41:56,300 --> 00:41:58,740
So they're like doomed to this timeline.

773
00:42:01,260 --> 00:42:04,539
If you go back and make a change.

774
00:42:04,539 --> 00:42:08,539
It doesn't necessarily stop what's already happening.

775
00:42:09,019 --> 00:42:12,259
It creates a new, happier timeline, hopefully.

776
00:42:14,139 --> 00:42:16,139
Well, that part sounds good.

777
00:42:16,139 --> 00:42:19,259
And also, like, it couldn't be much worse. Yeah.

778
00:42:20,739 --> 00:42:25,940
I suppose just creating a new reality is just as good as fixing this one.

779
00:42:28,380 --> 00:42:30,460
Or maybe it fixes it.

780
00:42:30,460 --> 00:42:34,539
Well, you just said it. Oh, I've had a lot of Fanta.

781
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:40,340
OK, so do we talk to everybody else about this?

782
00:42:40,340 --> 00:42:43,300
Are you going to have your own little side one on ones with everybody?

783
00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:45,779
They're going to are we are we team captains?

784
00:42:45,779 --> 00:42:49,179
They're like a town hall style meeting that we have.

785
00:42:49,179 --> 00:42:53,259
And everybody sort of volunteers for particular duties.

786
00:42:53,259 --> 00:42:55,940
Not the council. Right. Like.

787
00:42:55,940 --> 00:42:58,259
Well, I mean, he's is he not in charge?

788
00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:02,019
As soon as we walked out, he yelled, I'm the one in charge. So.

789
00:43:02,739 --> 00:43:04,139
Yeah, he's been saying that a lot.

790
00:43:04,139 --> 00:43:06,420
I think that's just like his go to catchphrase.

791
00:43:06,980 --> 00:43:09,339
It's a neat behind that fountain over there.

792
00:43:09,339 --> 00:43:11,579
I think he's been following us the whole time.

793
00:43:11,579 --> 00:43:13,259
We'll give him a job.

794
00:43:13,859 --> 00:43:15,579
It'll keep him busy.

795
00:43:15,579 --> 00:43:17,619
That's probably for the best.

796
00:43:17,619 --> 00:43:21,259
I guess it's probably a good idea to have a council meeting and.

797
00:43:22,779 --> 00:43:25,339
Without me telling you who needs to go where,

798
00:43:25,339 --> 00:43:29,940
you need to figure out who wants to go where.

799
00:43:30,819 --> 00:43:33,779
Because if you tell us, it'll be a wrinkle in time

800
00:43:33,780 --> 00:43:35,780
and it won't work out right. Possibly.

801
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:38,500
Now, I think I get this whole time.

802
00:43:38,500 --> 00:43:42,900
Now you got it. All right.

803
00:44:04,620 --> 00:44:08,700

Have a great week. We'll talk again soon.

820
00:45:12,620 --> 00:45:16,540
This is the part where just where Russ just breathes into your ears.

821
00:45:16,540 --> 00:45:20,540
As Russ coming back, he knows that Amy was right.

822
00:45:20,620 --> 00:45:23,580
So he's trying to like bring himself back into his body

823
00:45:24,060 --> 00:45:26,980
and stop being player Russ. I mean, he'll never say it out loud.

824
00:45:27,260 --> 00:45:29,100
Yeah. I don't know what you're talking about.

825
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:31,060
We know that's what that sigh meant.

826
00:45:31,059 --> 00:45:33,179
And Tom and I knew it.

827
00:45:33,179 --> 00:45:36,179
I knew one else singing to become one by Spice Girls in their head.

828
00:45:38,299 --> 00:45:43,739
I am now the whole time when you're like when two souls

829
00:45:43,739 --> 00:45:49,139
merge and become one, like when to become one.

830
00:45:54,659 --> 00:45:58,219
Bork comes in, come and make love to you, baby.

831
00:45:58,220 --> 00:46:01,380
Bork would. Yeah, he would.

832
00:46:03,740 --> 00:46:05,420
Got to keep fucking.

833
00:46:06,580 --> 00:46:09,540
I don't know if I can hold Keanu for as long as I'm going to need to hold it.

834
00:46:10,060 --> 00:46:11,900
You hold Matthew McConaughey longer.

835
00:46:11,900 --> 00:46:14,660
I mean, I just got to keep saying, all right, all right, all right.

836
00:46:14,660 --> 00:46:16,860
You have to get back into it.

837
00:46:19,420 --> 00:46:22,020
Just say, I know Kung Fu. I know Kung Fu.

838
00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:24,700
This is OK.

839
00:46:24,700 --> 00:46:26,380
How do we guide a conversation with a God?

840
00:46:26,380 --> 00:46:27,540
Oh, I don't know.

841
00:46:27,539 --> 00:46:29,940
We're all just like, you know what I mean?

842
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:31,940
Yeah. What do you ask of a God?

843
00:46:31,940 --> 00:46:32,980
You don't ask anything.

844
00:46:32,980 --> 00:46:34,699
You just sit there in awe, right? Yeah.

845
00:46:34,699 --> 00:46:37,579
Or is Thea going to be like, can you fix my friend?

846
00:46:38,179 --> 00:46:40,659
