1:05

become the heroes

1:07

of young. Burning

1:18

through the

1:20

sky. Yeah!

1:25

400 degrees! That's why they call

1:27

them the heroes of earth. Strapped

1:30

to the side of a mountain,

1:32

but the side of the mountain is

1:35

no longer strapped to the earth. For

1:37

the... For

1:43

the great volcano, Gloobshaka,

1:45

being robbed of its

1:47

gifts, the great artifact,

1:50

the blades of grass

1:52

has exploded in anger.

1:55

And our four heroes,

1:58

Sunbelt Gongbonger. The

2:01

Duck. Hello? Polly Waddles.

2:04

The handsome guy. Hey!

2:06

Stelion Valerian. Not you. Ha

2:09

ha ha. Ha ha ha. And

2:11

returning with their own human voice,

2:14

Demi Ladner as that

2:17

guy. What? What's

2:19

your character's called again? Inna. Inna

2:21

Munchabout. Oh! I knew

2:23

that I was just testing you. Okay,

2:25

so you find yourself on a hot

2:27

rock flying through the sky,

2:30

the island far below you. Is there

2:32

anything you'd like to do? Anything you'd

2:34

like to say to each other before

2:36

you crash into the planet, destroyed forever

2:38

by hotness and

2:40

force? I don't want to

2:42

do this. Do

2:44

we have a castrer amongst us? Yeah, I'm a

2:46

wizard. Can you do any floaty stuff or anything?

2:48

I've got levitate. Can I levitate

2:51

the rock? No, it

2:53

is fucking huge. It is way

2:55

too heavy. It's so big. It's

2:57

like, I would say it's conservatively

3:00

very large. Can

3:03

I... What spells you

3:05

got? Flames all around you. You realize

3:07

your feet are very hot because it's

3:09

rough too. I think we're about to die, everyone. I

3:12

think this is it. But if

3:14

anyone's got anything they'd like to say to

3:17

me, if anyone would like to admit they're deeply

3:19

in love with me, it'd be a great time.

3:21

I've always wanted someone to admit they're deeply in

3:23

love with me and I just feel like it

3:26

might be my lucky day. Uh... I

3:29

don't... Jenna, do you have anything you want

3:31

to say? Jenna, do you want to say

3:33

anything or... Deeply in love. Anyone

3:36

want to... Great feelings of design. The

3:40

wind whipples past your ears. I want

3:42

to see what's under my bonnet. Anything like that.

3:44

I mean, yeah, I'll take a peek. What's under

3:46

your bonnet? Is it weird? Is

3:49

that why you always wear a hat? Because you have a weird

3:51

duck head? A double beak, perhaps? One at the front, one at

3:53

the back. Oh, don't... Sustering those earrings.

3:55

Who told you that? I don't have a double beak. The first thing

3:57

under there, don't worry about it. A fontanelle. Ooooooh!

4:00

Boom, these giant

4:03

chunk of crust crashes into the earth. Please

4:06

everyone make dexterity checks

4:09

for me. Dexterity checks

4:11

for me. Saving throws,

4:13

saving throws. Oh, I did really

4:15

well. Wait,

4:18

is it a save or is it a? It's

4:20

a saving throw DC 22. 13

4:26

to fail. Oh no, 14, sorry. I got 14 too. So

4:30

if you pass. If

4:33

you pass, so if you fail, you take full

4:36

damage. If you pass, you

4:38

take half damage. So who passed? Well,

4:40

what did you have? Hands up if you pass. Wait, did we

4:43

pass? What's the passing? Oh, 21. Oh,

4:45

we failed? Oh yeah, you all failed. Fails!

4:48

Okay, so if you pass, you

4:51

take half of 70. But

4:54

you are such a star. You're starting off by killing

4:56

such a star. What the fuck is wrong with you?

4:59

Aw. Don't

5:01

be so mean to me upstairs. Blackness.

5:06

So. Blackness.

5:09

I take 70 damage, do I? Yeah, yeah. 70

5:11

damage. And it all

5:13

goes dark for

5:16

you because you're dead. I

5:19

don't, why I just got my little figurine. Okay,

5:24

blackness. And then in

5:27

the fringes of your consciousness,

5:30

you hear the squelching of

5:33

heavy boots in the

5:35

mud, and

5:37

a voice. You

5:40

think you're a big man, huh? I'll

5:44

get a fine price for you.

5:49

Blackness. The

5:52

clanking of an axle of a horse-drawn

5:55

cart. And we'll, yes, Tom, do

5:57

you have comments? I just, I would give anything. to

6:00

not be able to see your notes. It

6:04

is so embarrassing. Just look at

6:06

the pretty pictures

6:09

of the drawing line. I'm gonna look at

6:11

some wonderful action. Look at the video. That's

6:13

why the DM screen is here. So you

6:15

don't have to see your friend delivering lines

6:17

he's reading. Blackness.

6:28

The smell of salt and

6:31

gently lapping waves. What

6:33

did we say? Salt doesn't have a taste. It's a taste. They

6:35

say taste is about 50% smells. But that's the things that

6:43

aren't like the things on your taste buds. For example

6:45

salty. I don't think you can

6:48

smell salt or sugar. I think you can smell

6:50

the sea which is salty. The only way

6:52

we could actually solve this is if

6:54

Eden snorts a line of salt right

6:56

now. Do we have any salt? Do

6:58

you think people snort things because they

7:00

love the smell of it? Yes.

7:03

I love this fragrant

7:05

cocaine. Why else would they do it?

7:07

If salt doesn't smell why do they have smelling

7:09

salt? That's

7:15

different to salt. That's why they call it

7:18

smelling salt. If

7:20

salt is smelly they just call them

7:22

salt. But they call

7:24

them smelling salt because they add smell to

7:27

them. One time I went to a

7:29

gym and the guy had like a little thing of

7:31

smelling salt that he'd like wave under your nose if

7:33

he thought you were getting ready to do a big

7:35

lift which he also just was happy to take a

7:37

punt on. So you just feel like walking around a

7:40

little bit sweaty and you just walk by and just

7:42

vrrrrr. And it

7:44

is very unpleasant to smell the smelling

7:46

salt. Such

7:49

a sweet way to make friends.

7:52

Show and tell. You've got

7:54

ammo in the other hand.

7:59

The gentle of waves black

8:02

and then the sound of creaking

8:05

balls. Are you saying that the blackness,

8:07

the absence of vision is stopping the sound?

8:10

No, it's like you're shifting out. Oh yeah,

8:12

I should say what you see. You're shifting

8:14

out of consciousness. Yeah, yeah, you know, it's

8:16

blurry and stuff. Okay. Are we seeing

8:18

in the cameras of our mind

8:20

the eye, the eyelids opening and closing?

8:23

Yeah, yeah, exactly. You're kind of being de-armed

8:25

by someone who has Final Cut installed on

8:27

his computer but doesn't know the way around

8:29

it. I

8:32

didn't want to play this full version. And

8:38

let me tell you,

8:40

this guy, he's definitely

8:42

played the opening six

8:44

minutes of Skyrim. So,

8:47

yeah, so

8:50

the creaking of boards and the

8:52

gentle listing of

8:55

a ship tipping

8:58

towards the port, starboard,

9:01

stern, bow,

9:05

crow's nest. How many more have you got

9:07

on you? I think six more.

9:10

Poop dick, other dick. On

9:13

sound effect, Mr. Tom Walker. So

9:19

you awake, the

9:21

smell of sweat and

9:25

old rags and tar,

9:27

and you find yourself below

9:29

the decks of a

9:32

leaky old boat behind

9:36

some arrested bars in

9:38

the brig of a ship. And

9:41

next to you, you

9:43

see two figures, one

9:46

of them a fish

9:48

person, like you recognize from

9:50

the carnival. You might recognize him.

9:53

Are they slimy? Yeah,

9:55

you got slimy. He's

9:57

muttering to himself in his sleep. It's a good

9:59

time. joke it's

10:02

appropriate i am a little uh...

10:05

How did you get here Cod? Yeah, they caught

14:23

me again, didn't they? I was out

14:25

in the ocean, saw something bobbing around... Chomped

14:28

on it. They pulled me right out

14:30

of the water, here I am again.

14:32

Can't help myself. Uh, I'm gonna do

14:34

a perception check. Okay. To see if

14:37

I can see any keys anywhere, okay? Uh,

14:40

14:42

like what's around. I rolled a natural

14:44

one. Nice! Ooh! I

14:47

literally... I passed back out! Yeah, you're

14:49

fish and blood. And you've become unconscious.

14:52

But everyone else, you

14:54

can see that you're in the hole

14:56

underneath. What do they call that? Is that the

14:58

thing? Is that the right thing? The hole? The hold? In

15:01

the hold. Right, in the hold. Is the brig

15:03

in the hold? Yeah, the brig's in the hold. The

15:06

brig's the front end of the hold. There's

15:08

some bars across there. Door, other side of

15:10

the hold. Boxes! We

15:13

were running out of space so we put the

15:15

brig in the hold. It'd be no much nicer

15:17

to just be in the hold. But we're in

15:19

the brig, technically in the hold. But trust me,

15:22

as someone who was in the hold before, oh

15:24

it's nicer out there! Above

15:28

you in the ceiling, there's one of those big

15:31

square things. What are they called? Holes.

15:33

Window. What's that my

15:35

nautical friends? A hatch. So

15:37

you mean like a square thing where there are

15:39

metal bars across it in a hatch? That's open.

15:42

I feel like you're ascribing to nautical

15:45

knowledge some things that are just neutral

15:47

knowledge. Yeah? Well, what you're describing is

15:49

just a hole. Like a trap door?

15:52

Yeah, but I want to know what

15:54

the nautical name of the hole is!

15:56

Motherfucker, you should have got on n.wikipedia.org/wiki

15:59

slash... boat before

16:01

the show you

16:05

know what you're right so

16:07

and it's but that's open to the sky and

16:09

you can see above that there's like a crane

16:11

that's how they lower shit down into the hold

16:13

this is what you can see

16:15

are they lowering it into the hole directly into the cage

16:18

no so it's cage you're on the other

16:20

side you're in the brig not the hole

16:22

please you're in the hole you're in the

16:24

brig in the hole all right in I'm

16:27

waking up from my being gonk oh

16:29

16:40

strength check you're gonna make an athletics check

16:42

work for Sunbelt gone bong I tried that

17:08

17:13

a con check for me for a

18:38

little seasickness Demi

18:41

18:51

great cause none of us ever

18:53

Yeah, I guess it's a wet bath. Yeah. Okay.

20:25

If you're planning to do that, I've got

20:27

some pants I've been pissing for days you

20:30

can use. Alright, let's do this. Let's do

20:32

it. Okay. Is there anything in there

20:34

that we can use as a twisting, like I was

20:36

saying, some sort of stick or a lever or anything

20:38

before we touch it? Yeah, there's a little, there's a

20:40

bone of a dead, formerly dead

20:42

prisoner. Formerly dead so

20:44

they're alive. Well, they got better. They're like, don't use

20:46

me bone. We need it. They've come after life as a

20:48

puddle. There is. No, we will

20:50

actually give it back, but we're just going

20:53

to take it for now. Oh,

20:55

go on then. Alright. Alright.

20:58

Okay. So, um, should I roll for this? What

21:00

do I have to roll for it? Um,

21:03

piss, rolling for piss. It's a sleight

21:05

of hand. It's a sleight of hand. Rolling for

21:07

piss. I think it'd be strength. Yeah, it's strength.

21:09

You can have advantage though. You can have strength

21:11

with advantage. Okay. Um, alright. So,

21:16

that's um, that's an 11 or a, oh, a 22. Oh,

21:24

the bars creak open.

21:27

But just wide enough that

21:30

Polly Waddle can waddle through.

21:32

Alright. Well, what should I do? Oh, it's nice

21:34

out here. I told you it's nice just out in the hole.

21:36

Oh, that's a good hole. I've seen a few holes in my tongue. That's

21:38

lovely. Maybe a nice big

21:40

shell? A decorative shell. I'm going to really brighten it

21:42

up. Maybe nice raffia rug. Do you like raffia gongbonger?

21:44

I just like it. I'm going to try it. I'm

21:47

going to try it. I'm going to try it. I'm going

21:49

to try it. I'm going to try it. I'm going to

21:51

try it. I'm going to try it. I'm going to try

21:53

it. I'm

21:58

going to try it. Oh, yeah. I

22:00

actually fancy myself a bit of an interior

22:02

decorator. Polly Waddles, stop the

22:05

dawdling! Alright! Bite us

22:07

a key! A key. Find a

22:09

key. Key key key key. Alright. Maybe

22:11

have a check around, you know, there's some

22:13

drawers over there, maybe look at some nails on the

22:15

wall, there might be some keys. Alright, can I

22:18

do a look around for keys? An

22:20

investigation check. Yeah, go on. Do a

22:22

little investigate. Do a little investigate. 22 again! So

22:28

you look around, this looks like

22:30

it's purely storage down here. Okay.

22:32

You do hear footsteps

22:35

on the deck above with

22:38

the clanking of, you know how people sound

22:40

when they've got keys in their pocket? The

22:42

jangling of keys. Yeah. I got

22:44

that from my list of nautical terms. Jangling

22:48

keys on the main cell. Oh,

22:50

the main cell? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This

22:52

is getting written. Kneesh the main cell

22:54

hatch on the poop deck.

22:58

Twix the figurehead and the rigging. Alright, oh,

23:00

what should I, how should I get those

23:02

keys? I know, I'm gonna sneak up. I'm

23:05

gonna go under a box and I'm gonna shuffle,

23:08

shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle,

23:10

shuffle, stop, look around,

23:12

pop out, dash, grab

23:14

the keys. Okay.

23:16

Fly back. Okay, so you

23:19

see Polly do a lot of shuffling

23:21

amongst the things. But the

23:23

doorway, the hatch, the

23:26

hatch which is the middle, which leads to the

23:29

hold, you can see

23:31

above you, you can fly up there and have a little

23:33

peek. Yeah, so I'm gonna fly up

23:35

there, have a look and is there a box

23:37

that I can duck under to follow around the

23:39

guy? Oh yeah. Or... You

23:42

can hide as a rogue, you can do your hiding action. Yeah, you can do a little

23:44

stealth check. Oh yeah, I was gonna do a little hide. What should do a little stealthiness

23:46

for me? Alright. Stealth check.

23:49

Stealth check. Stealth check. Stealth

23:52

check. Oh,

23:55

that's so stealthy. You hang on with

23:58

your little arms. Yes!

24:01

And your wings tuck back and you become kind of

24:03

like a moth who's just stuck on the

24:05

side of the wall. And your

24:07

little duck peeks around and you can see

24:10

up on deck it's fairly bare.

24:14

There's two moths and

24:17

at the... You can't imagine any

24:19

more boats! Ah! No,

24:22

and I'm just getting the terms right. And

24:24

at the aft... Very

24:27

nice! At the

24:30

aft there's a poop deck, which

24:33

is the raised deck. For those of you who didn't know,

24:35

that's what it's a little bit raised deck. You guys saw

24:37

the poop deck was where the poop was, didn't you? At

24:40

the aft poop deck there's a single

24:42

door. And

24:45

at the other end, at the

24:49

stern, which

24:51

is what I was going to say, there's

24:53

a bunch of... It's

24:55

like watching a year 9 student try to do

24:57

a book report. You know what I mean? Yeah,

25:00

yeah, yeah. Like... Well you've

25:02

not gone to any class. At

25:04

the stern, front,

25:08

fore, front. Oh

25:10

my god! What

25:13

I would love is just some narrative. Yeah, okay,

25:15

okay. I'm setting up a world... See, I'm very

25:17

spatial so I'm like, I better tell... No you're

25:20

not! And at spatial you're

25:22

special. Yeah! Thank

25:24

you! Look, the hammocks

25:26

at the front, the poop deck

25:29

at the back... What

25:31

about the hammocks? Oh, there's

25:33

sailors in them. There's Susan. They're

25:36

like... A

25:38

couple of hunks shooting... So, to catch

25:40

us up, what we've learned is that

25:42

there's two masts. At

25:45

the stern of the ship, there

25:47

are sailors in hammocks. Also, and

25:49

just don't forget this,

25:52

the duck is like a

25:54

moth. Yeah, and you see

25:56

that the jangling of

25:58

the keys is attached to the legs. of

26:01

a mean looking dude.

26:03

He's so mean. He

26:05

looks like a pirate

26:08

fish. He's got red polka dots

26:11

on his handkerchief. His jacket

26:13

is blue with a patch

26:16

on the left elbow. The

26:19

pantaloons are quite the

26:21

floofy. And the boots,

26:25

two of them on his leg. Oh

26:27

my god. Any shoulder birds? No.

26:31

No shoulder bird. No shoulder bird.

26:33

Just a lot of shit on

26:35

one shoulder. Oh, interesting. And a

26:37

wistful look in his eye. And

26:39

just the one eye.

26:42

Oh, he got two. Oh, we're not patching you.

26:44

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, one. No, don't let me.

26:46

No, he's got the patch, but you see him

26:48

pull it up and look around. So this

26:51

isn't a pirate who lost an eye. This

26:54

is a pirate who's been to an ophthalmologist

26:56

and has been diagnosed with a condition that

26:58

requires them to strengthen their other eye. Absolutely.

27:01

Or it's like one of the people who

27:03

gets glasses for the look and

27:05

just doesn't have any lenses in them. And on

27:07

his... I fucking told you it's because

27:09

I sensitive eyes because I sleep with

27:11

them open, cunt. What?

27:15

I sleep with my eyes open. You don't.

27:17

I do. It's very scary. Tom tells me.

27:19

Oh, it's fucking terrifying.

27:23

So what'll happen to me often is Demi's

27:26

like, air pods will lose charge in the

27:28

middle of the night. And so I'll be

27:30

woken up by the true crime podcast she

27:32

was listening to. Yeah, and it's a guy...

27:34

And so the woman's body

27:36

was... The woman's body

27:39

was four feet away from her

27:41

head. There was nothing anybody

27:44

could do about it. Bim-bim-bim. Frit is

27:46

the bean coffee. It's my favorite coffee

27:48

in the morning. And then alongside this

27:50

tale of a woman being chopped up into pieces, my

27:55

wife is just lying there eyes open,

27:57

staring at me. Anyway,

28:01

my eyes are incredibly dry, so I

28:03

wear glasses like goggles.

28:05

Maybe you should wear two eye patches. Fuck,

28:08

that's an idea. What

28:10

would happen if you tried to manually close

28:12

the eyelids? Like brrrrrrrrrrrrr.

28:17

What happens is he touches the top of my

28:20

eyelids and my entire body slides down. Like

28:22

I stay completely open. The

28:25

reason the Greeks put coins on there was

28:27

to stop them doing that. You actually have

28:30

to really hold the eyelid down and wedge

28:32

the coin in under the skull. And

28:36

jangling on the captain's self are

28:38

the keys. Alright,

28:43

I got my eye on those keys. And

28:45

I learned that he's the captain. Well,

28:47

you assume so. He's the only

28:49

one walking. And as we know,

28:53

captains always walk.

28:55

Okay, I'm going to

28:58

throw one of my daggers across

29:01

the arm to the other side

29:03

of the boat. Uh-huh. And

29:07

when he turns his head, I'm going to nip up and I

29:09

want to grab the... Oh my god, okay, so... A

29:11

dagger distraction? A dagger distraction. Is this one of

29:13

those daggers that could potentially save

29:16

the unmaking of the entire world? No,

29:19

I've got normal ones. Oh, okay, cool. Just

29:21

checking. You've got

29:23

a single dagger because they didn't know it was tucked up

29:26

in your feathers. Yeah, that's right. Your single and lost dagger.

29:28

Oh wait, did they have my blazes, girl? Yeah,

29:30

you don't have your fancy ones. Alright, well I've

29:32

got my secret dagger then. It's just a little

29:35

tiny little knife. Yeah, almost a letter opener. Is

29:37

there a chance with this throw that Polly will

29:39

throw the dagger and it will hit the captain?

29:42

No, no, it's just a distraction. Make an attack

29:44

roll for me. Alright,

29:47

I got a two. Splash! Cool

29:53

fact, a crocodile can't stick out its tongue.

29:55

Also, you can get health insurance for a

29:57

month or just under a year in some

29:59

states. United Healthcare short-term insurance

30:01

plans, underwritten by Golden Rule Insurance Company,

30:03

offer flexible, budget-friendly coverage for you. Learn

30:06

more at uh1.com. Oh,

30:30

what's that? Sounds like

30:33

the ocean still starboard.

30:35

Now to continue my

30:38

walk. Um, and

30:40

off he goes. Um, but you still can make a

30:42

sleight of hand check. Alright, I'll do a sleight of

30:44

hand. You're just not gonna get the advantage that you

30:46

thought you might. How do I do that? Uh, you

30:49

got a skill, you got it right there, you got

30:51

a sleight of hand. Oh, wait!

30:53

Okay, yes, that's a 19. You

30:56

snoop up and pick the

30:59

keys off the... Do

31:02

the jingle? I mean, it does jingle

31:04

a tiny little bit. But,

31:07

yeah, what do you want to do? You didn't tell me what you

31:09

wanted to do after you got the keys. You're just gonna stand there? I

31:12

wouldn't do that. No! I'm

31:14

gonna... I want to, uh,

31:17

dive into the nearest coiled up

31:19

rope. Okay. To

31:22

hide. Okay, great. That's a good thing to do.

31:24

That's a great thing to do. Make a

31:27

little stealth check for me. Okay, okay.

31:29

Yeah, very good. Yes. Uh,

31:32

21. Like a... like

31:34

a moss twix so much coiled

31:36

rope, Polly

31:38

Waddle disappears. And

31:41

while she could have jumped back down

31:43

in the hold, now she is further

31:45

from where she needs to be. But,

31:48

hidden nonetheless. Meanwhile... Why are

31:50

you thinking about moss so much? Uh...

31:54

Did you open your wallet earlier? Boom!

32:02

The rest of the cast were dwelling in the

32:04

brig, like a condom that's been in your wallet

32:06

so long that it leaves like an indent on.

32:10

Yes, they were stuck in there and nobody

32:13

was using them. And he thought to himself,

32:15

is this still good? I

32:19

mean obviously nothing was good. So what's going

32:21

on down there with you gang?

32:24

Why don't we give us something? What's

32:28

going on? Where can we save

32:30

those boxes? Yeah and Cods stuck his

32:32

head through the hole that Polly

32:35

went through. Cods,

32:37

go with you smaller than Polly. Look right through and

32:39

he's like, look I've left this slime all over it.

32:41

You guys should be able to come right through now.

32:43

I'm small as Thatcher, can I fit through? Yeah you

32:45

can slide in. Oh nice, get in there. I've

32:48

been ministering the Minotaur because I

32:50

felt that we might have some kind of friendship connection.

32:54

You've been ministering me? I've been, you know, he's

32:56

been giving you pirate first aid. Oh

32:59

sure. Shaking you back and forth really

33:01

hard. Smelling self, shaking me, that kind

33:03

of thing. Yeah, C, P, well. Uh,

33:07

alternating between nine belts and ammo.

33:09

Um, alright, Sunbelt's gonna wake

33:11

up and try and break open the bars

33:13

again. Okay, make another check for me. Strength

33:15

check? Yeah, you can do it. Uh, this

33:17

is false strength. That is a... Oh that's

33:19

a 20, that's 23. Make the

33:21

noise. Woo! Make

33:26

the noise that a Minotaur makes when pulling... Oh,

33:29

oh. Oh. Oh.

33:33

Oh. Oh. True, okay,

33:36

and so you're out of the brick now

33:38

guys. You're back in the hold, your brick

33:40

days are done, and above you, the open

33:42

sky. If you

33:44

can help me take out the captain, maybe

33:46

we can end this foul trade of fish

33:49

people for good. Hold up, can

33:51

I really quickly ask something? Yeah. Oh, I

33:53

guess I'm just finding my way

33:55

in this crazy... Alright!

34:01

Oh, sorry, no. I

34:03

used to be the first mate in the ship, then I

34:05

muted against it because I finally was like, you know what,

34:07

I don't think we should be slaving these guys. Wow,

34:10

so this is like a moral

34:12

stance that you're taking, that's why

34:14

you're in the brig. Yeah. You

34:16

seem weak. No I don't! No

34:19

I don't! Well if I know one thing about it. Would a weak

34:21

guy do this? Please don't

34:23

call me weak! Alright,

34:27

remind us what type of creature

34:29

is this? Humanoid? I'm a

34:31

human man. Okay, cause you didn't... alright. What's your... hey

34:33

we didn't ask your name. Oh, Peter. Well you

34:35

gave me one. Oh Peter! That's right, Peter Von Teeth,

34:37

I'm so sorry. Do you need to bring that

34:40

martini glass with you or can we leave without it?

34:48

It's non-canonical. Right. I'm

34:52

more than happy to leave it. Okay. Alright,

34:55

um, are you coming with us or what? Do you

34:57

know where... like you know this ship, right? What's

35:00

the best way for us to go unnoticed

35:02

and escape the lower

35:04

deck? The best thing we

35:06

could do is with your combined force

35:09

we could maybe have a chance at

35:11

opposing the Dread Captain, Gary

35:13

Two Legs. But

35:16

if we were to do that, I have

35:18

enough loyalty with the rest of the crew

35:20

I could guide us to wherever you want

35:22

to go and then get the boat outfitted

35:24

to be a real luxury cruiser. Oh,

35:28

Air S's are plenty aboard the

35:30

fell wind. That's your thing, Air

35:32

S's? Well no, no, not my thing. You

35:35

like that? Is it your thing? Hey,

35:37

I'm open to anything but, you know, I'm

35:40

just asking. I'm just saying, you know, it takes a

35:42

certain kind of income level to be on there and

35:44

just... It makes sense, I'm not

35:46

judging you. Okay, well good. Good. And

35:49

I guess I can't get enough of the fucking things.

35:51

Ho ho ho! Cards

35:55

on the table, mmm! Peter

36:01

horny for money. There's something about

36:03

them. Yee. Well,

36:08

if I know one thing about weak people, they know

36:10

weaknesses. So if the

36:13

weakness of this ship is

36:15

the captain, and we dispose of

36:17

the captain, then absolutely, let's do it. Does

36:22

he have any weaknesses himself?

36:24

A tricky knee. A dodgy

36:26

ankle. I remember

36:28

once reading his diary. Obviously

36:30

not something you should do, but

36:33

I'd run out of me books. And

36:36

in that diary, he said he

36:38

was weak to damage. Okay.

36:45

We know his weakness is damage. Apparently

36:47

it ran in his family. His

36:50

father died of damage. His

36:53

mother died of bullet poisoning. I'm

36:57

allergic to the things. And his

36:59

brother died of poison poisoning. Oh,

37:03

this poison's bad, I think. I think

37:05

this poison went off. But

37:09

are there any other things you need to know about this man? I

37:11

don't know. Does he have any family members he

37:13

cares about or they're all dead as well? I

37:16

think all damage got them as well. What

37:18

about personality? Does he have any

37:21

fears or kinks? Oh,

37:24

kinks? Well, I'm not one

37:26

to... no. Go

37:28

on! No, I really shouldn't. What

37:31

is it? What's he into? Knocking

37:33

feet? Oh

37:38

boy, that'd be a hard life, wouldn't it? Being

37:40

a pirate isn't a feat. Oh,

37:43

another day jerking off to peg. Like

37:47

a millennial man. Anyway,

37:53

no. The only thing

37:55

he could possibly be weak to is

37:57

the text from his right side. Because

38:00

of course the eye patch blocks all vision

38:02

from there unless he changes the eye patch

38:06

And then he's weak to a text from his

38:08

left side. I

38:11

guess what I was doing is trying

38:13

to fish for clues about the missing

38:15

bird. I would

38:17

have loved to give you that information I'm

38:20

not aware if it's relevant or not because it

38:22

wasn't in the fucking notes The

38:26

notes I got here. Do you want to hear the

38:28

information I have in full? I

38:31

would love to! I love that. Captain, colon,

38:33

gary two legs Yeah,

38:44

let me cross check that yeah,

38:46

I think he's got it all I

38:50

just start stacking like boxes and barrels to

38:52

reach the to

38:55

reach the the hatch All

of slaving before, so are you

49:13

all still pro that? No.

49:17

Are you sure? Also not me. Nor

49:19

49:21

pro-slavery. We kind of just all went

49:24

along with it. You went along with it,

49:26

did you? Now did you think that's the right thing to

49:28

do? What do

49:30

we do with the Nuremberg trials at sea? What

49:32

the fuck is this? What? Someone

49:34

Lee, Simon Greiner, Michael Hinn, and Demi

50:10

Lassen. Our Dutchee Masters are Eden Lacey

50:12

and special guest Tom Walker, with Lava

50:15

Continents by Nick Haring. Shethier Khan is

50:17

our producer, the podcast's edited mix-and-master by

50:19

me, Hugh Guest, and

50:22

new episodes are recorded live every month at

50:24

the Vanguard Theatre in Sydney on Gadigal Land

50:26

in the Uranation. This

50:28

week's episode is brought to you by contributors to

50:30

the Dragon Friends Patreon. As we get earlier, we

50:32

have to have three episodes that are recording,

50:34

and it's going to content just by building.

50:37

And the goddess

50:39

returns from you,

50:42

having proven that

50:44

promising you in

50:46

parole, reaching the

50:48

pole, keeping us in

50:50

taking. Who will protect

50:52

us from one as in some?

50:57

Who will protect

50:59

us from one as

51:01

in some? Who will protect

51:04

us from one as in some?

51:08

Who will protect us from one

51:10

as in some? Who

51:15

will protect us from one as in some? Hey, what is?

51:20

We just said that we all recover from a

51:22

hallucination, and we're in like a demountable inner field.

51:26

We're exactly the same, but there's

51:28

grass. Like, would

51:30

it make it easier? There

51:32

wouldn't be too much. Oh, no, there

51:34

wouldn't. You're right. I

51:37

also wouldn't say the stern because it would be

51:39

on land. Yeah, but would

51:41

it maybe free up some brain space for other

51:43

stuff? We'll never

51:46

know. It's

51:51

crazy that like, if Dave was in this situation,

51:53

he really would be crumbling right now. If

51:55

Dave was under this kind of pressure where

51:57

everyone on stage was frustrated and disheartened. Disrespectful

51:59

of what he's doing. Dave would have crumbled

52:02

and he would have lashed out, but you've

52:04

got a weird zen card I'm

52:06

sort of just soaking in it You're

52:09

like Spongebob when someone tries to bully you

52:12

You're a sponge. It doesn't matter Come

52:16

to imagine if Dave was doing this and we were

52:18

just like, you know Just cutting over to that and

52:21

it just being I did not say he's in the

52:23

foreskin. So he's in the foxal It's a reasonable notable

52:25

word Take

52:29

a minute to think back to Dave

52:31

and how many words he knows I

52:33

think I learned all my sheep words from Dave Yeah,

52:35

yeah Ballastron go

52:37

on name fucking one of them break

52:40

Well, I used break.

52:42

That's my word now Nigger
