0:25
hot dog eating champion of 69.

0:38
Evil monologue dress. Can you show it to
0:40
us? This sounds amazing. That's so cool. I want you
0:42
to tell us, but I also don't want you to
0:45
tell us. I want to see where the words are.
0:47
The butt probably, right? That's
0:49
such a long thing to have on the butt. It's
0:52
not on the butt. It is. It's
0:54
a lot of letters. It's not on the butt. It's not
0:56
on the butt. Here you go, Wooly. Okay.

1:09

1:23

1:25
Dungeons and Dragons podcast recorded in front
1:27
of a fake studio audience today.
1:32
We're talking season
1:34

1:37
reaction I'm
1:39

1:44
I never get it. It's a finale. So
1:49
y'all are on the back of some Smeagles,
1:51
some giant Eagles with the heads of golem. Okay.
1:54
I had a question that I was saving for
1:56
the podcast, which is
1:58
that they're giant Eagles. way
4:00
earlier than everyone else. Yeah, you were really
4:02
ready for it. Very stout there. is

5:08

5:45

5:47
keep us all down. have we
5:49
ever been in the air together before?
5:53
am I crazy? we must have been in the air. play
5:55
that clip. Yeah,
6:01
it's a clip on you guys on like an old Ferris wheel
6:03
and as soon as it starts to get to the top, everyone
6:05
starts screaming. And
6:09
then it comes back to this moment. Of course
6:11
we've been up in the air together, but we've never
6:13
been up in the air together knowing we're gonna die
6:15
soon. Yes, that's why I'm scared. That's
6:18
so negative. Let's
6:20
recap how this is gonna go great.
6:23
First of all, Seb's family and his
6:25
hot mom totally all gonna show up.
6:27
I hope I really hope so. I
6:31
do too because I need to live. Exactly. Yeah,
6:33
same reason. Chip, we
6:36
did that whole thing with your uncle and
6:38
that went like so good. That went so
6:40
good. Yeah, he's gonna be great. He'll
6:42
make it. I hope we bring some cereal. You'll be
6:44
fine. You made your grandma
6:46
this year. I did. And she's
6:48
lovely. I do a twirl. Well
6:51
careful. We're on a bird. Oh,
6:53
whoa. It's not as
6:55
easy as you make it, Seb, Chip. My
6:57
God. And I just found out I have
6:59
a dad that cares enough to come and find me. And
7:01
Jennifer's not cursed anymore. We got rid of all of her
7:03
curses. By midnight tonight, we'll all
7:05
be having a laugh and a beer back
7:08
at Bottoms Up with no
7:10
overarching conflict. That sounds nice. Yeah,
7:13
when you say it like that, Chalice, it feels
7:16
like everything's gonna be okay. That'd be fine.
7:19
Wait, wait, wait, why'd your voice go up like
7:21
that? I'm not
7:24
worried. I'm not worried that like three of the
7:26
four will show up and one of the four
7:28
won't or something like that. Is that possible? Oh
7:30
my God, that could be a possibility. I never
7:32
even considered it. I figured it was
7:34
all or nothing. God. I don't
7:36
think all of us are gonna die, but possible like
7:38
one of us dies. Maybe like one of us dies.
7:41
Oh no, I think it's me. I think
7:43
it's Seb too. Oh God. It
7:45
could be Seb. But it's just like
7:47
our friendships are all like, you know,
7:50
conduits to each other. So if we
7:52
lose one, what happens to all? If
7:54
I die, you guys can eat my body. That's
7:58
okay. I think I'll pass. Yeah,
8:01
I think I'm going to put it on a
8:04
raft and then, you know, shoot some flaming arrows.
8:06
Whoa, yes. I think I've talked about this before.
8:08
Please give me a, what is it,
8:10
a Greek? A pirate? A Viking girl? Viking
8:13
Viking. Actually,
8:15
give me a pirate funeral. I
8:18
guess, yeah, we should talk about how we want each
8:21
other to take care of it. We should have
8:23
written Wills. This was stupid. I want you guys
8:25
to prop me up in the bar next
8:28
to Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Yes. That's
8:32
nice. B, what about you? OK,
8:34
I have a confession. It's time. Remember
8:37
when the bar was taken over by
8:40
Chuckie Busters? Oh, yeah, I do remember that. Are you
8:42
going to tell us you're a ghost? What's happening?
8:44
No, no, no, you're OK. OK. Well,
8:47
you know all the prizes that I looked over? Yeah,
8:49
you always said they were all yours? Yeah,
8:51
they were all mine. Yeah, well, when that shut
8:53
down, I took all the prizes and I put
8:55
them underneath the floorboards. And late at night when
8:57
you holler asleep, I take it out and I
8:59
play with all my toys. I'd
9:02
like to be buried with those underneath the
9:04
floorboards with my glass menageries
9:07
and my magazines. Can we play with the
9:09
toys, though, once you're dead? Absolutely. Oh, play
9:11
with my body, too, but make sure we're
9:14
all together. OK, so we can
9:16
hang out with Chalice's body. We can
9:18
play with Beef's body. You guys can eat my
9:20
body. Seb, what can we do with your body?
9:23
Well, I'm glad that you
9:25
asked. I
9:27
don't know. What's this thing? Oh, god. You
9:29
guys, they got a big scroll or something.
9:32
I want you to take my tummy skin
9:34
and make it into a lampshade. So whenever
9:36
you turn on the light. Seb, we're not going to do that.
9:39
OK. Oh, that's fair. Yeah, I'm
9:41
listening. I'm listening. Do you
9:43
have any other things we could do? Any other furniture pieces
9:46
to build out of your phone? Yeah, I want you to
9:48
take my butt cheeks and make a wallet. I
9:50
want my feet to go above the bar. So
9:55
it looks like I got squashed underneath it
9:57
or something. Like it came from the sky.
10:00
That's very funny. Keep going! Keep
10:02
going! I
10:05
want you to put my eye above the
10:08
door with a sign that says, I've got
10:10
my eye on you. Just kidding. I
10:12
died long ago and I hunt this place. Oh,
10:16
I love that one. It'll feel like you're
10:18
always there. And because I believe in using
10:20
all parts of the buffalo. Whatever's
10:22
left. Just, I don't know. Put
10:24
up with a funny thing to do with it. Yeah, come on. Make
10:27
my ribcage into a xylophone, something like
10:29
that. Okay. Oh man, now I kind
10:31
of hope one of those dies. No,
10:34
no. No. Well,
10:37
no. And with that,
10:40
y'all just kind of fade
10:42
into a comfortable, contemplative silence as
10:45
you soar across the
10:47
horizon. Why doesn't one
10:49
of you give me a history
10:52
check? Oh, I love history. Anybody good
10:54
at history? I am. I
10:56
have one plus one. Yeah, I think I have negative.
11:00
Okay. You're headed towards Glass Castle
11:03
and Chalice with a 15. You do
11:05
remember generally where the spot is with
11:07
the tree that has the water that
11:09
could potentially reverse the curse. Does the
11:11
tree have a name or anything? You
11:13
haven't been told it. Okay. If
11:15
it does have one. Another tree, we
11:18
got to ask its name. And
11:21
so it's not pinpoint accurate, but you
11:24
indicate to the Smeagol's and they start
11:26
to circle and get lower and lower.
11:29
Finally, their large towns go into the
11:31
earth and you are on sweet, sweet ground,
11:33
which you haven't felt in quite some time.
11:35
Chip bends down on his knees and licks
11:37
the ground as much as he possibly can.
11:39
Oh my God. Thank you. Thank
11:42
you. Thank you. Let's get moving. Okay.
11:45
And as you start to get moving, just as
11:47
a refresher, you're in at a
11:49
green forest, which again is very super foggy,
11:51
even in this early morning light, like it's
11:54
barely past dawn, but it looks
11:56
like the Pacific Northwest. It's got these deep
11:58
green colors and tons of orange. wildflowers
12:01
everywhere. And the early
12:03
morning light is kind of catching the fog
12:05
here. It's kind of eerie but it's also
12:07
yeah kind of beautiful. And which
12:10
direction are y'all gonna head out in? Give
12:12
me a history check one of you to
12:14
see if you remember exactly where it would
12:16
be. Dirty 20.
12:19
Oh my! Okay so this one I had that
12:21
as a high difficulty check because most of you
12:23
here were blindfolded but chalice rolled a dirty 20
12:25
so with that you there must be some sort
12:27
of landmark here so you actually see like a
12:29
tree that you used to play with when you
12:32
would go as far away from glass castle as
12:34
you could to just have some freedom and be
12:36
on your own and run away and have a
12:38
day to yourself as a kid. Probably would cause
12:40
like a lot of the guards to be up
12:42
in arms like oh my god the princess is
12:44
like exploring again. This is an
12:47
area that you must have played before
12:49
that you have the geographical context of
12:51
where the spot must be in relation
12:53
to it and you start leading the
12:55
group through at a green forest to
12:57
the spot. Follow me! I
12:59
think I buried a time
13:02
capsule right here. Hold
13:05
on yeah. It's just sunset or
13:07
sunrise we got plenty of time. Yeah. Dig
13:10
this up. You guys wanna get lunch?
13:12
Chalice starts digging in the ground like
13:14
a raccoon. Maybe there's lunch in the
13:16
time capsule. Good haul. She opens
13:18
like a little tin box and it's
13:20
mostly snacks. But it's
13:23
amazing. Also a drawing of her
13:25
and her three imaginary best friends
13:27
that like look a lot like
13:30
Seb beef and chips. Who are those?
13:32
Who are these people? There's like a little
13:35
rodent in the corner that she scratched out.
13:39
I'm sorry you have friends before us? What
13:41
the heck? No these were my imaginary
13:43
friends. Oh. It's
13:45
kind of sad guys. Who needs more
13:47
than one imaginary friend? This
13:50
is pork. This
13:52
is... Think of one for
13:55
Seb. Sebastian. Sebastian Von Hugh
13:57
Grant. And
14:00
this is chocolate. I
14:03
don't remember the rat's name. Oh, that's
14:05
so cute. It's kind of hot. Yeah,
14:07
I think so, too. I don't want any of these
14:09
snacks. Oh, be very at them. Yeah, sorry, guys. Be.
14:12
It's just that, you know, when I'm
14:15
hungry, I get in survival mode. No one
14:17
else exists. Nothing matters. I have to.
14:20
You weren't excited about eating my body.
14:22
Isn't that a little convenient? Follow
14:24
me. And
14:28
after you guys go over the
14:30
time capsule, dug it up, had some friendly
14:32
banter and then moved to the spot a
14:34
few hours have passed. So you're really eating
14:36
into your time here. But eventually
14:39
you do make it. You get
14:41
to the clearing. So you
14:43
move through this really dense,
14:46
foggy forest into this
14:48
open clearing, which you haven't some of
14:50
you haven't seen ever during the
14:52
day. And it is really
14:54
breathtaking. It's an open clearing
14:56
about the size of a football field
14:59
that at the end of
15:01
this cliff has the tree, this
15:03
oak tree that has
15:05
water seemingly falling from its
15:07
leaves to its base, but
15:10
almost like it's like a fountain where that water must
15:12
be sucked up into the trees base
15:15
and then dropped out through its branches and leaves
15:17
back down and like a cyclical nature. And
15:20
it comes to this point at the end of
15:22
the cliff, a football field away from you. And
15:25
at the edge of the cliff, if you
15:28
were to stand at the tip of it
15:30
and look out, it's about a hundred foot
15:32
drop into almost like a green ocean.
15:34
It's just a sea of other
15:36
pine green trees with like rolling
15:38
hills and some mountains in the
15:40
distance. And so you're
15:42
struck by this beautiful view, but also
15:45
incredibly relieved to be at least all
15:47
of you at the spot
15:49
at the right time with at this point,
15:51
some time to spare. We don't
15:53
see any of our family members here perfectly
15:56
waiting for us or anything. Early.
15:59
Early. family members
16:01
crickets Stop
16:04
on the crickets Yeah,
16:07
nobody is here yet So
16:10
at this point the Sun it
16:12
looks like it might be early
16:14
afternoon So
16:17
you have a couple of
16:19
hours here before sunset We
16:22
are all standing at the edge of the
16:24
cliff like holding each other's hands looking at
16:26
the beautiful scenery of it
16:28
all and just like smelling
16:30
the wind and letting the Sun hit
16:32
our faces and we're just like Okay,
16:35
guys, this is it. This is it. This
16:38
is it. I love you guys Love
16:40
you too. I love you guys too. I've
16:42
got inform you of something else. We
16:45
are past noon Actually, what doesn't one
16:47
of you give me a perception check? Okay,
16:52
Seb and chalice while just kind of
16:54
looking at each other You
16:56
notice that on the
16:58
tips of your fingers Kind
17:01
of going up into your palm the
17:03
veins in your hands are starting to
17:06
turn black Oh my god, and actually
17:08
because you rolled such a high perception
17:10
each of you You
17:12
can't help but notice how
17:14
high up the black
17:16
is running in your veins it's
17:20
kind of coinciding with the
17:22
afternoon Sun and Where
17:25
the shadow is falling
17:27
as far as like the sunset shadow on
17:30
the football field clearing So
17:32
you're starting to think that the further the Sun
17:34
goes down The
17:36
higher the black in your veins
17:39
is going to run and eventually when the
17:41
Sun goes all the way down So will
17:43
you forever? Okay,
17:45
well we know he wasn't bluffing now Everything
17:49
was silly and fun until now Real
17:54
all fun and games until the
17:56
necrosis sets in if
17:58
it seems like no one Showing up, I'll run
18:01
and I'll just become queen. I guess I
18:03
don't know. the skin were jealous. I think
18:05
this is it, right? is? A
18:07
nice daughter, so maybe he doesn't. Even maybe
18:10
he's. A. Stranger only with this curse
18:12
at this point, man. Do. We
18:14
feel any other ill effects. Are. We we
18:16
gender anything at this point. You are
18:18
not, You just feel like. It's.
18:21
Almost as I got a knowing. Have
18:23
to work with your life. I'd
18:25
rather be sacked ssssss looking to
18:27
sell that? It's like it's just
18:29
gonna be on a binary of
18:31
oh at the end of this,
18:33
I will be dead or not.
18:35
Oh man g on gosh dang
18:37
thread. So with that. Here's
18:41
how we're going to do this. Obviously
18:43
all of you have some family
18:46
they are hoping makes it is
18:48
a spot in time. To.
18:50
Break the curse. Now. There's.
18:52
A lot of maybe are things in
18:55
the way of them getting here that's
18:57
making it an uncertainty as actually going
18:59
to be. A straight luck
19:01
role for each of you to
19:03
see. If your family makes it, but
19:06
here's the deal. are going to make it a
19:08
little a little interesting. You're. Going to roll
19:10
a d twenty. And. It's
19:12
gonna be a fifty fifty chance
19:14
whether your family members shows up or
19:16
does it. But. Here's
19:18
the kicker. I. Know.
19:21
Which of the numbers with the twenty of
19:23
randomly selected ten of them. Oh. My God
19:25
I thought like one third tan ever. Heard
19:28
of I have a you're gonna Roll
19:30
it. I. Will now if
19:32
they're gonna show up or not and
19:34
then we're gonna play it out as
19:36
it would unfold in real time. Oh
19:38
My God said is that A could
19:40
be used It could be all of
19:42
your showing up and it could be
19:44
none of oh my God off his
19:46
ears. Us.
19:48
so. Before. I.
19:51
Have each of you roll. Or.
19:53
Go one and were time are you
19:56
doing about. You
19:58
don't allow. The
20:00
original dune will start with.
20:03
Ship. I can't go first and
20:05
before you do, What? Is your feeling?
20:07
What's he thinking? I'm. A
20:09
first. He's kind of assessing whether he thinks
20:11
uncle meals going to sell. He feels like
20:13
that was pretty good day. Felt. Like
20:16
we help them that we all grew and it's been
20:18
nice hanging out with him ever won once in awhile
20:20
since. That's. A really small part of. With.
20:22
on his brain, but it's mostly just regret.
20:25
Is. Mostly just regretting. So.
20:27
Many choices that he made in his life.
20:30
Where. There was not telling Chalice how
20:32
we felt about her earlier, having a
20:34
hand and killing his best friends, Not
20:36
spending enough time with the hallways. He's
20:39
feeling upset. And. Then he looked
20:41
out at his friends and. right? Now
20:43
that the only thing bringing him any thousand the
20:45
fact that he's complaining. That an incredible
20:47
group of people in his life. Is
20:50
is way too far. cry. From
20:54
having a hard time. Ah,
20:57
Ok, here's a
20:59
roadblock. Said the blogs. A
21:01
You. Fifteen.
21:04
Seems good, but. At
21:09
thank you yeah vague you
21:11
shot thank you Only got
21:13
to tell us right now
21:15
now. Ah my guy typically.
21:17
Ah so. Beef. Oh
21:20
what a piece! Skip
21:22
the. Best
21:25
what's been thinking, what's going through
21:27
be said. The. Be.
21:31
Scared. Play. He
21:33
wants to be brave for
21:35
his friends. So. He
21:38
outwardly. Is. Trying to
21:40
be strong for than like giving
21:42
like it. it's gonna be okay
21:44
no matter what kind of I'd
21:47
even though deep deep deep down
21:49
he he's scared to but he
21:51
doesn't. Blame. His
21:53
grandma is she can't make it or
21:55
not. He knows that she loves. Him
21:58
Regardless, And. And that
22:01
his life felt like it never really
22:04
started until he met these group of
22:06
people. And if
22:08
that's how it ends, too, what
22:11
a good run he had. He
22:14
also is going to miss
22:17
eating food. If
22:20
it really comes to this,
22:22
I think at the end of the day, the
22:25
thing he's going to really, really miss is that
22:27
first bite of the sandwich. And
22:30
the last bite of the sandwich.
22:32
All right. Oh
22:35
my gosh. It's a 17. Okay.
22:39
That sounds good. Sounds
22:42
good. All
22:44
right. Chalice. Chalice
22:46
is mostly feeling so guilty that she
22:49
put everyone in this position. Don't
22:52
nod yet, please. That
22:54
was active listening. She
22:58
obviously, she does feel very guilty for
23:00
putting everyone in this position, but Chalice
23:06
would take four years with this
23:09
group of people and die now, then a lifetime
23:12
of not knowing them. And when she's looking
23:14
off over the canyon, she's thinking about the
23:16
time when she was in that parade and
23:19
she looked up at the top, like the
23:21
marquee of Bottoms Up and saw
23:23
them all laughing and drinking a beer up there and how
23:25
badly she wanted to be with them. Stop.
23:28
Was she imagining that? Stop.
23:31
And now I'm over. I
23:34
got a 10. Okay. Seems
23:36
bad. That one, he
23:39
said it and I went, uh-oh. All right. So
23:41
I guess it's Seb's turn. It's
23:45
Seb's turn. So
23:49
Seb is kind of just like manic
23:51
denial right now. And it's just kind
23:53
of like, you know what? You
23:56
guys, what I've been thinking is we should have a buffalo
23:58
chicken dip on the menu. Because we're
24:00
all gonna get through this. It's all
24:02
gonna be fine. They all put hands on
24:05
Seb. Slowly. 17
24:07
and a 15 and a 10. Those are sexy f***ing
24:09
numbers. You know, a perfect 10. 17 out of 10.
24:14
A 15 out of 10. These are good
24:16
numbers, you guys. We're
24:18
gonna get through this. We're gonna be laughing. We'll even
24:21
get a new painting of the four of us because
24:23
we've had so many fun times together and we can
24:25
get rid of that one where chalice farted and it
24:27
blew out the back of the bar, you know? Allegedly.
24:30
Allegedly. The Kool-Aid man came out of
24:32
her ass. Allegedly.
24:35
Allegedly. Allegedly. And
24:38
I love you guys. And we
24:41
can't die because there's just too much love
24:43
here, alright? We have a cat. We haven't
24:45
even talked about the cat enough this season.
24:47
We got a cat this season. We can't
24:49
get an eye roll. A
24:51
8. 8
24:54
out of 10. That's like so good. This is
24:57
so good, you guys. Ate's good. Ate's
24:59
good. That's an 80%. That's a B.
25:01
I'm graduating, you guys. Isn't it
25:03
8 out of 20? Yeah, but out
25:05
of... but 10 is good. I
25:10
don't like that two of ours are
25:12
even and two of ours are odd. Oh.
25:16
Yeah. That's interesting. It could just be odds
25:18
and evens and we consider that. So now,
25:20
at this point, the sun is
25:22
obviously continuing to go down behind
25:24
the horizon. The shadow
25:27
of essentially nightfall is
25:30
creeping up the clearing.
25:32
It's now about halfway to the edge
25:34
of the cliff. And that also
25:36
means that the black that's coursing through
25:38
your veins is now not just in
25:40
your fingertips running up your hand but running all the way
25:42
up to your arm and getting to your shoulders. Ugh.
25:45
The family's really cutting it
25:47
close there. When we said sunset, they
25:49
were like, okay, leave it there right
25:51
there. Not a moment before.
25:54
Sounds good. I hope my grandma has
25:56
a watch or looks at the sun. I don't
25:58
even know. As
26:00
everyone's getting only increasingly
26:02
anxious, you stare out at
26:05
the tree line to see
26:08
something move, some sort of
26:10
foliage just kind of shaking and moving, and
26:13
it's nothing. And
26:15
that's happened to you a couple of times. I'm
26:18
about to start shooting arrows at these
26:20
ruffles. Kill all these animals that are
26:22
faking us out. And the next action
26:24
doesn't come from the tree line at
26:27
all. It comes from the sky. As
26:30
you look up, you hear,
26:32
Smoozer! Yeah,
26:34
I made it! Oh
26:39
my God. Jennifer! And
26:41
as the Smeagol lands right in front of you
26:43
at the spot,
26:45
there's another person riding it
26:48
with Jennifer, and it's
26:50
Hanson. I
26:53
really, I'm shocked. Oh
26:55
my God. Hey Jennifer, who is
26:57
that? Chalice
26:59
knows and just runs up and gives
27:01
him the biggest hug. Oh
27:04
my God. Chalice,
27:08
I didn't know. You're right on time. 70
27:12
years too late, I'm not right on time. No,
27:14
you're right on time. And
27:16
I just hugged. You know I loved
27:18
your mom, right? You did?
27:21
Yeah, I loved
27:23
her before she even became a queen.
27:25
What? Oh my gosh, you're
27:27
gonna have to tell me everything. Yeah,
27:29
we can debrief later. Should
27:32
I save your life or whatever right now? Yeah,
27:34
I was gonna suggest we go walk and get a coffee, but
27:36
I think we should do this first. Yeah,
27:38
cut this freak open! We don't have much time! Oh,
27:41
okay. Oh, I have to die? No, no, no. Oh,
27:43
okay. Oh my God, you were willing to die?
27:46
Yeah, I mean, I would have. Oh
27:49
my gosh. No, just a little drop of blood
27:51
in this blue water. Easy, okay.
27:54
That's not bad. Handsome
27:56
Henson. What? What about? Pleasure to
27:58
make your acquaintance, sir. Oh,
28:00
hello. Yeah, I'm Hanson. Nice to meet
28:03
you. That's right, beef. Beef. A beef.
28:05
Hi, beef. Yes. You
28:07
have her eyes. You have the
28:09
eyes of a hedgehog I once knew,
28:12
but never mind that. Huh. Interesting.
28:14
Hi, I'm Seb. I share dreams with
28:16
your daughter. Oh.
28:19
Oh. Hmm. So you
28:21
two must be an item, I presume. Nope. It's me
28:23
and this other guy. Oh, yeah.
28:26
Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hi,
28:28
I'm, uh, I'm Chip. Oh, famous
28:31
liar. Yeah. Ooh. It made its way
28:33
to exile. It's
28:36
a rumor. Yeah.
28:39
The Smeagol's like to gossip. Oh,
28:44
great. Um, okay. Jennifer, but you already know me.
28:46
I'll cut this freak open. We don't have much
28:48
time. Okay. We go over to the pool and
28:51
I lead him there and then I have
28:53
a little pocket knife and I do a little prick on his
28:55
finger. Oh, okay.
28:58
Um, and Hanson holds out
29:00
his finger and it drops. And
29:04
we get real close up on it and we watch
29:06
it fall from his finger all the way down to
29:08
hit the base of the tree. We're sitting in that
29:10
puddle of water and it hits it. As soon as
29:12
it does, red magic
29:15
starts to glow and emanate from
29:17
the water, the tree. And there
29:19
is a powerful, but
29:21
not, you know, painful in any
29:24
way, slight blast of magical energy
29:27
shoots out from the tree and
29:30
all of your hair kind of like blows back.
29:32
And it even forced some of you to take
29:34
like a step backwards. Afterwards, you're
29:36
kind of looking around like,
29:39
okay, that seems good. And
29:41
chalice, why don't you give me a perception check
29:43
here? A nine.
29:46
Okay. You're looking at your friends more like, is
29:48
everybody okay? Like there was a blast like it's
29:50
everyone. All right. And you're kind of just also
29:52
just staring at Hanson who's
29:55
your biological father, but it's Hanson
29:57
who notices that the blast. on
30:00
your arms is very
30:02
quickly retreating and fading. Oh he
30:05
does love me. And it worked
30:08
you seem to be for all intents
30:10
and purposes and you feel in that you in your
30:12
heart and that knowing that you are saved. Oh
30:15
come over here
30:18
you handsome man. I
30:21
hate beef kissing the man on
30:24
the cheese. Oh okay well thank
30:26
you. You saved her. You saved
30:28
the most perfect person in the
30:31
whole entire world. I shake your
30:33
hand sir. I shake it hard.
30:36
Thank you. Well
30:38
honestly I feel like I
30:41
feel like I did so little considering
30:43
I spent 70 some
30:45
years away from you. I mean I just I
30:48
feel bad more than anything right
30:50
now. Nope sorry. You just saved my
30:52
life are you kidding? Are you joking? And now
30:54
you can come live with us at bottoms up
30:56
and we can hang out everyday. Yes are
30:58
you kidding? Oh my god thank god
31:00
it's horrible and exile. Yeah it seems
31:02
horrible. Ms. Meagles just gossip about me
31:05
the whole time. I know.
31:08
As y'all are rejoicing in
31:11
jealous being cured why
31:13
don't all of you give me another perception check. 18. 19. 12.
31:16
1. Okay. 7. Chels especially
31:19
you now too. As soon as you are cured
31:29
you're suddenly met with the feeling
31:31
of immense relief and
31:34
joy being united with your biological father
31:36
that you're starting to get to know
31:38
better but also the pain of knowing
31:41
okay I'm safe but nobody else is what
31:43
if I'm the only one. So that kind
31:45
of has you on high alert and Seb
31:48
you're on high alert for similar reasons but on
31:50
top of it you're also not safe. So
31:54
it's both of you who are keeping an eye on
31:57
the tree line that leads to the clearing and
31:59
again The way that this is set up, there's
32:01
a football field between you at the edge
32:03
of this cliff with the tree to
32:06
the other end of the clearing. But
32:08
it's also a football field in width
32:11
from the left side to the right side. And
32:14
on the right side of the clearing,
32:17
about halfway, you
32:20
see some real major
32:22
foliage shaking again. And
32:25
somebody appears. And,
32:29
uh, Chael, since you rolled a
32:32
19, you'll recognize this person, and Savvy
32:34
you will too. It
32:36
is King Cicero. Oh! What
32:39
the f*** is that? I
32:41
thought I said hot mom! I really
32:43
thought I said hot mom! I was
32:45
about to yell, my hot mommy! Like,
32:48
what the f***? You still
32:50
can. Well, hello everyone!
32:52
Having a party without me,
32:54
huh? Boo! Boo!
33:01
You guys are in sync on that! Yeah!
33:04
That was both Hanson and Chip. That
33:08
was incredible. And as he walks into
33:10
the clearing, you see that the royal
33:12
guard is with him as well. Oh,
33:15
god. There seems to be, I don't
33:17
know, 3, 5, 10 royal
33:19
guard in full plate armor walking out
33:21
of the tree line with him. And
33:24
as he starts walking, he's shouting because he's
33:26
still some distance away. He's holding something up
33:28
in the air, and you have
33:30
to squint to make it out. And it is a
33:34
dug up pinecone by the name of
33:36
Crispine. Oh, no! I
33:38
told him everything! I'm so sorry! He was gonna
33:41
kill me! Oh, god.
33:43
And he removed you from right
33:45
next to your lady tree? Magnolia.
33:47
Maggie. I'm so sorry! Hey, man.
33:49
It's okay. It's okay. It's not
33:51
your fault. It's not your fault.
33:54
It's not your fault.
33:56
It's not your fault. Yeah. It's
33:58
not your fault. In fact,
34:00
you've been a great help and then
34:03
he just casually drops Chris to the ground
34:05
and crunches him under I'm
34:11
pretty sure the tree is remember he could separate
34:13
his Like multiple things I
34:15
think go back and bury him again That
34:23
wasn't nice though The fact that you didn't
34:25
know makes it so that you think you
34:28
just killed somebody and that's not nice. You're
34:30
an evil Evil whack
34:32
whoa, listen everybody if you think I
34:34
showed up here not ready to kill
34:37
some people You are gravely mistaken because
34:39
that's exactly what I'm prepared to do
34:43
Okay noted
34:47
Charles is actually already safe. So even
34:49
if she doesn't sign the contract she'll
34:51
live Okay, so she doesn't need
34:54
to be queen or whatever you want her
34:56
to be. So how's that feel? That's impossible.
34:58
It is possible I know the curse Chris
35:00
explained it to me It would have to
35:02
be a family member that loves her and
35:04
news flash chalice your family doesn't love you
35:08
Hi Sorry,
35:10
I kind of wasn't expecting
35:12
this guy to show up this
35:15
guy cursed me to not speak to the woman I
35:24
loved forever and then basically killed
35:26
her Oh,
35:29
yeah, sorry, I'll tell you all about it. I love her and I
35:31
saved her you big whack Mm-hmm
35:39
And he has a special gauntlet on
35:41
some type of glove that
35:43
he just points a finger at
35:45
Hanson Oh God and a bright
35:47
almost you can't even look at
35:49
its streak of green magic shoots
35:52
from his fingertip straight into
35:55
Hanson's chest and Hanson
36:00
What? I don't have a chance to block it?
36:03
I mean this was a surprise, it was the first
36:05
attack. And it
36:07
hits the Hansen and he falls back and
36:09
the life is just quickly going out of
36:11
him. No! The king's gauntlet
36:13
looks like it was only like a one
36:15
charge type of thing because it comes off
36:17
of his hand and he throws it to
36:19
the ground as it starts to turn black.
36:22
So now I think we're all on the same page.
36:25
Chalice runs to be next to him and holds
36:27
his hand and just says I'm so sorry over
36:29
and over again. Bye.
36:38

It's endless. I'm guilty of this.
39:35
I got way too many apps floating in
39:37
the abyss. So I used
39:39
Rocket Money to help me find out what
39:41
subscriptions I'm actually spending money on. It
39:44
was eye opening to say the
39:46
least. And I had them cancel the
39:48
ones I didn't want anymore. I
39:50
don't need four of the same
39:52
streaming platforms. I can't watch
39:55
my favorite stories four times at
39:57
the same time. Just doesn't
39:59
make sense. So get Rocket
40:01
Money. It's a personal finance app that
40:03
finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors
40:06
your spending, and helps lower
40:08
your bills. Rocket Money has
40:10
over 5 million users and has helped save its members
40:13
an average of $720 a year with over 500 million
40:15
in canceled subscriptions. So stop wasting
40:21
money on things you don't use.
40:23
Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going
40:26
to rocketmoney.com/sitcom D&D. That's rocketmoney.com/sitcom
40:28
D&D. rocketmoney.com
40:32
slash sitcom. And the letter is D&D. Alright,
40:38
let's move in boys. And
40:40
they start crossing the clearing and
40:42
that's when you hear another
40:44
voice on the opposite side of the
40:47
clearing coming into the tree line and
40:49
you hear, Sab, Sab
40:52
Mama's here. Ha Mommy! Oh
40:57
my God. Wait, when she
40:59
comes through the clearing, it's
41:01
like slow motion, like light.
41:03
With just a towel on. Yeah,
41:05
feeling some of the worst grief of
41:07
her life but she still feels like chills
41:09
down. That's always awesome. Somehow
41:13
riding a lawnmower and like looks over to
41:15
see her with a towel coming out. Whoa.
41:21
What do I do? We
41:23
have to prick your finger and I need to
41:26
take your blood. Okay, I'm coming to you. Is
41:28
that the king? Run! Don't
41:30
look at him. Run!
41:34
And so the king Cicero, he knows how
41:36
this works now and it looks
41:38
like he's not playing games and he's out
41:40
to thwart you in the biggest way possible
41:42
and isn't afraid to kill you. So
41:45
you hear King Cicero shout and
41:47
point with his sword at Sab's
41:50
mom about 50 yards away across the
41:52
clearing. Take her down! And
41:55
a few of them get crossbows ready and
41:57
are taking aim. Oh my God. Okay,
42:00
why doesn't everyone go for initiative? Okay,
42:03
it's on now 14
42:09
18 5 18 Elizabeth and Aaron. What are your
42:12
initiative scores plus three three? Okay, so you two
42:14
are tied so you guys can I think choose
42:16
who goes first. I think oh, it's just why
42:18
don't you go first? Okay, I'll
42:20
pickle beef chalice step chip Okay, so
42:23
now that everyone's rolled for initiative
42:25
the king takes the first action
42:28
And he snags along crossbow from the nearest
42:31
guard right out of their hand puts the
42:33
sight up to his eye Takes
42:35
aim at seb top mom and
42:38
pulls the trigger He
42:41
rolled a five so the crossbow
42:43
bolt sails through the air and Once
42:47
sebs mom sees that the king is
42:49
taking aim at her with a crossbow
42:51
Probably the number one scariest moment of
42:53
her life, which is the most powerful
42:55
person in her world She's
42:57
never met before is now pointing a crossbow at
42:59
her in an open field and taking it. She's
43:01
only wearing a towel The
43:06
crossbow bolt sails through the air and she starts
43:08
running and it's a good thing that she did
43:10
because the crossbow bolt impales Right where her
43:13
left leg used to be in the
43:15
ground and she is now running to
43:17
the edge of the cliff We are at
43:19
and where the tree is at and up
43:21
next is beef
43:24
pickle I
43:27
yell pickle your cape turns
43:29
into the equivalent of bright
43:32
yellow bat wings and
43:34
you take flight into the air What are you doing?
43:36
I'm going straight for sub top mom. Hell yeah,
43:38
and When I get
43:40
to her I touch just
43:42
her to make her invisible and
43:45
I go I keep running, babe So
43:55
yeah, she she goes invisible and she heeds
43:57
your advice she is still on the move
43:59
to get to the rest of the game.
44:01
She is having a hell of a moment.
44:03
Yeah. Gets shot by the king. A half
44:05
link flies into her, touches
44:07
her, makes her invisible, and says, keep running,
44:09
babe. Chalice,
44:12
you are up next. OK. I'll
44:17
do web. The web fills a 20-foot cube
44:19
from the point for the duration. Ooh. So
44:22
you have two spider powers? Yeah,
44:24
I did that on purpose, remember? I'm slowly
44:26
turning Chalice into Spider-Man. Each
44:29
creature that starts its turn in the web
44:31
must make a dexterity saving throw. On a
44:33
failed save, the creature is restrained as long
44:35
as it remains in the web. OK.
44:37
And it's up to an hour, so. OK.
44:40
Wow, this is huge. So
44:42
Chalice, what does it look like
44:44
when you shoot at them? You're
44:47
what? Right at her dad and
44:49
goes, fuck you, and then shoots
44:51
the web. But like Spider-Man-wise, you
44:53
know Spider-Man hands? Yep. You guys
44:55
know Spider-Man hands? Yeah, I know
44:57
Spider-Man hands. Awesome.
45:00
So they rolled saving throws here. That
45:02
web goes, and it's a ton of web.
45:04
A disgusting amount of web comes out of
45:07
Chalice and flies at them. It's a normal
45:09
amount. And
45:11
it hits the king and the guards.
45:13
The king puts up a shield in
45:15
time and kind of deflects it, and
45:18
then rips the web around him that did get
45:20
stuck to him off and is still on
45:23
the move, marching solidly towards. Now,
45:26
the web hits one of them, the
45:28
royal guard, and they are stuck
45:30
flat to the ground. It hits
45:33
another. It takes him off guard.
45:35
That it hits his sword into
45:37
another one of the royal guards,
45:39
and the web sticks the sword
45:42
into the other individual. And
45:44
then another one is stuck
45:46
in a, oh my god,
45:48
altogether. Six of them are
45:51
in one lumpy web heap,
45:53
stuck together, completely restrained.
45:55
So their speed will be zero. They
45:57
can't move. Their attack rolls against the
45:59
creature. have advantage if you attack them and the
46:01
creature's attack rolls against you will have disadvantage if
46:03
they try to like shoot at you or anything like
46:06
that and they have disadvantage on dexterity saving throws.
46:08
Two of them miss the worst of the blast and
46:11
are moving with the king towards you guys.
46:13
Cool. Good shot chalice
46:17
although I'll have you know
46:19
this is just the beginning the full
46:21
force of the kingdom is on its
46:23
way. Boo. Seb's
46:26
mom is using their dash action to
46:28
go as far and as fast as
46:30
they can and they are just about
46:33
to get to the group at the
46:35
spot. Oh nice. Nice mom I'll try
46:37
to slow them down uh I'm
46:39
gonna cast for the ones that are still coming
46:41
at us to try to trap them I'm gonna
46:44
use entangle to slow them down. Okay.
46:46
So grasping weeds and vines sprout from
46:48
the ground in a 20 foot square
46:50
these plants turn the ground and area
46:53
into difficult terrain. A creature
46:55
in the area must succeed on a
46:57
strength saving throw or be restrained by
46:59
the entangling plants until the spell ends.
47:01
A creature restrained by the plants can
47:03
use its action to make a strength
47:05
check against your spell on a success
47:07
it frees itself. So vines
47:09
break the earth and shoot up
47:11
the legs of the three
47:14
that are walking towards you led by
47:16
king cicerow. King cicerow grabs his sword
47:18
and immediately decapitates the two vines that
47:20
are running up his leg and
47:23
is on a b-line for you. Oh
47:25
god. What did he roll? He
47:27
rolled oh good point he rolled
47:29
a 21. Okay yeah and
47:32
then uh the other two
47:35
are entangles because they both
47:37
roll a three. Okay so yeah. Pathetic
47:39
is that all you've got I'm
47:41
not stopping I'm coming for you
47:43
all. And the king just keeps moving. Chip
47:46
and his ass. So the guards
47:48
it's their turn we know what their
47:50
movement was. And a second beat. In
47:53
the web because they're like in a massed
47:55
huddle it's making it super difficult for anyone
47:58
to kind of get a free. free
48:00
hand or free up space or take
48:02
a risk by using a blade to
48:05
get out. So they all rolled under
48:07
10 and that's pretty insane.
48:09
Four, nine, eight, three, three, eight,
48:11
seven. Kind of. And then
48:13
the two that were closest to the king, one
48:15
rolled a 13. That
48:18
is my spell DC. So. OK,
48:22
so both of them that were closest to the
48:24
king on their turn, use their action to break
48:26
through the angle. And now it is Chip's turn.
48:29
Cool. I'm going to cast
48:31
ice knife at the king. Let's see.
48:33
Let's see. Does a 19 hit
48:35
the king? It does.
48:37
Cool. That is five
48:39
piercing damage. And then
48:41
are the other guards within five feet
48:44
of the king currently? Or has the
48:46
king progressed beyond? They're
48:48
within five feet now. OK, so then I'm
48:50
going to do two D six damage because
48:52
the ice knife goes, it hits the king
48:54
and then it explodes and hits everybody within
48:56
five feet. OK, oh my
48:58
gosh. D&D is cool. A
49:03
10, 10 damage to all three of them. Oh,
49:06
wow. Significant. Immediately,
49:08
the king is forced to take a step
49:10
back. He doesn't want to let on clearly
49:12
that he's hurt at all. But you see
49:14
a slight bit of blood and ice at
49:16
the edge of his mouth. And
49:19
the other two who are following right behind him
49:21
and almost like a flying V formation really
49:23
are hurt. They're like down to one knee
49:26
and it seems like they're blood. And
49:29
now it is back to
49:31
the top with the king himself. The
49:34
king gets out a crossbow and because
49:36
he knows that seven is the next
49:38
to be saved, he's going to level
49:40
his crossbow at seven and he's going
49:42
to shoot. And it looks like it
49:45
is loaded with some sort
49:47
of bulkier and special arrow. So
49:49
does a 22 hit? Yes,
49:53
absolutely. 100 percent. Yeah.
49:56
So it was an arrow of
49:58
fling as a magic. weapon meant
50:00
to slay a particular kind of creature. Some
50:02
are more focused than others. For example, there
50:04
are both arrows of dragon slaying and arrows
50:07
of blue dragon slaying. For creature belonging to
50:09
the type race, a group associated with an
50:11
arrow of slaying takes damage from the arrow.
50:13
The creature must make a DC-17 Constitution saving
50:15
throw, taking an extra 6d10 piercing damage on
50:17
a failed save or half as much extra
50:19
damage on a successful one. And so this
50:22
arrow of slaying he built specifically for the
50:24
bottoms up crew. Oh no. Jeez.
50:27
So this particular arrow hits you,
50:29
Seb, and you're going to take an extra
50:32
6d10 piercing damage. 6d10?
50:36
Mm-hmm. What the? Oh my god.
50:38
I'm sorry. OK. The creature must make
50:40
a DC-17 Constitution saving
50:42
throw. Unnatural
50:44
20. Oh boy.
50:46
Hell yeah. Heavy. I
50:49
mean, half damage still could kill you. Yeah. I
50:51
mean, it will. OK.
50:54
For total, that is going to be 15 damage. Yeah,
50:58
I'm going to round up. Oh, nice. That's not bad. OK.
51:01
Well. Seb, you're fine. Stop complaining.
51:06
I'm actually pretty hurt. I'm
51:08
not feeling so good. Beef, you're up to the top.
51:11
OK. So Beef pickles his way
51:13
back to Seb's hot mom. Beef can
51:15
see her footsteps in the grass. So
51:17
he goes. He scoops her up and
51:19
brings her to the tree where Chalice
51:21
is waiting at the base of it
51:24
with her pocket knife. And he drops
51:26
her off right there. What's happening? Don't
51:29
worry, baby. I just got a prick her finger.
51:31
Seb, do I let them? Yes.
51:37
Yes. OK. I don't feel so good. And
51:40
so Chalice, you prick her
51:42
finger. And on her turn, she will allow
51:45
her blood to drop into the base of
51:47
the water. The whole roar of the battle
51:49
and combat that's taking place kind of falls
51:51
silent and is blocked out as this drop
51:53
of blood falls from her finger into the
51:55
water. And in this moment,
51:57
we find out if she had. love
52:01
for Seb. And
52:03
the water turns red and it runs
52:06
up the tree and there is a blast of
52:08
magical power and Seb you see
52:10
the black that was actually all the way running
52:12
up your neck at this point start
52:15
to fade away quickly and
52:17
retreat. See internet we don't
52:19
only make Seb's stuff sad. My
52:27
mom's hot and I'm not sad.
52:30
I will Seb you did look cool with the black van. You look
52:32
the coolest of the four. Yeah I think you're gonna need
52:35
to get sleeves, tattoo sleeves. Or caps. Yeah
52:37
you gotta get a hat. Bad
52:39
boy season five. So a
52:41
lot more of glass
52:44
castles militia and patrolmen and armed
52:46
guard and royal guard are kind
52:48
of pouring out of the tree
52:50
line. They have caught up with
52:53
the first group and you are
52:55
starting to become more and more
52:57
outnumbered. Not only that
52:59
you can't help but feel that feeling in
53:01
your heart that life is not long for
53:03
the two of you that have not been
53:06
saved yet. Oh and
53:10
you see the sun going down the shadow
53:12
getting longer and longer on
53:15
the clearing and the black in
53:18
your veins is going up your neck and
53:20
is going like even into your jaw into
53:22
the the bottoms of your ears. And
53:25
so we are really looking at minutes
53:28
and not hours here. This is kind of it.
53:31
And on the left side of the clearing you
53:34
see some more foliage. Beef
53:37
beef this is it beef this is it. I hope it's
53:39
for you Chip. I hope I hope it's for you. I
53:41
hope it's you. I hope it's you. We're
53:44
like holding hands like we're pageant. I
53:46
hope it's you. And somebody
53:48
exits the tree line into the
53:51
clearing and you recognize them. You
53:53
both do. It is Prince
53:56
Milknip. Oh no. No!
54:01
He is being carried on a palakine like a
54:03
little emperor, like a little prince that he is.
54:06
And he's eating some grapes and
54:08
some cupcakes it looks like. Grapes
54:11
and cupcakes! Such a weird
54:14
combo. And he looks kind
54:16
of peeved that he lost the original group that
54:18
he was riding with his dad. He
54:20
looks pretty peeved at the people who are carrying him
54:22
thinking that they got him lost and they've been going
54:24
too slow. Ugh! Palakine
54:27
down! Lower the
54:29
palakine! Grape. Cupcake.
54:36
Oh God, not now! Not
54:39
now? Did I walk in on something?
54:41
Yes! Oh,
54:44
look at you two. I've seen better
54:47
days on you chipping beef. Oh
54:49
my God! Worst person to be
54:51
seen right now. We really were
54:53
hoping you were beef's grandma. Oh,
54:56
well sorry to let you down. Guess I'm
54:58
a little hotter than what you expected. No.
55:01
No. No. Beef's
55:03
grandma's way hotter than you. Chalice,
55:06
former lover, sister. What? Don't
55:11
act coy, you know we had a thing. No
55:13
we didn't! Whoa,
55:16
whoa. So
55:18
who'd your daddy turn out to be? Why,
55:20
son of a- She just started swinging. You're
55:23
on the ground you idiot! You're
55:25
such an annoying dog! Somebody
55:28
help me! No! I
55:31
like you rattling. Got
55:34
your hair! Not your hair you idiot!
55:37
Ow! Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting
55:39
yourself! I'm not doing it! Stop
55:41
it both of you! And
55:43
you realize that the king is now there at the
55:45
spot as well. And
55:47
a lot of the royal guard is
55:50
starting to free themselves because as more
55:52
and more of the troops of Glass
55:54
Castle arrive they're freeing the people who
55:56
are in webbed or entangled and
55:58
y'all are starting to become extre- surrounded
56:00
at the tree and
56:03
we're talking about the final minute maybe there
56:05
might be a few minutes as the Sun's
56:08
going down and Chip and
56:10
beef it's safe to say that you know at
56:12
this point even if they did show up with
56:14
reason be enough time like you might as well
56:16
assume that's it's not happening. Chip, Chip
56:19
you need to tell chalice how you
56:21
really feel tell her everything tell her
56:23
before it's too late okay but first
56:25
I gotta tell you everything that I feel I
56:28
love you bud. Well
56:31
if we die we die together we can play
56:34
up in heaven right? I've heard about this place
56:36
called heaven. Yeah
56:38
where do you want to meet? Maybe like
56:42
meet at the cloud. Sandwich cloud? Yeah. Probably
56:44
a sandwich cloud maybe a sex cloud. Okay
56:47
are you figuring out the logistics of where to meet
56:49
in heaven? Yeah. Chalice you
56:51
don't get it. We're about
56:53
to die. And chalice I
56:56
love you. Oh boo hoo.
56:58
Boo hoo. This is all
57:00
very touching but time has
57:02
run out. Chalice
57:05
all you had to do was sign
57:08
this contract and he takes it out
57:10
and he tears it in half. Oh
57:12
but you were too selfish instead
57:15
of just rising to your responsibilities
57:17
you put in jeopardy everything that
57:19
I've worked for and thrown the
57:21
realm back into chaos. Tell her
57:24
dad. Leaving the
57:26
future in the hands of this
57:29
this chalice is now the
57:31
future of the kingdom. Are
57:33
you putting at me? Yes. Can I
57:35
do like a history check
57:39
and try to go back and
57:42
like remember tangerine's curse I'm
57:44
like trying to find any sort of loophole. Give me
57:46
a history check to see how much you remember of it. Natural
57:49

59:16

1:00:35
she's not brave enough to actually get any blood. So...
1:00:37
Yeah! Um... I'm
1:00:40

1:01:02
Just get out of the way. Okay. Aww.
1:01:05
What if... What if... What
1:01:08
if... Hold on, hold on. I'm
1:01:10
thinking. What if I go on the dish and
1:01:12
I say to everybody, Ah, so
1:01:15
sad that he's not my biological father, but
1:01:18
I wish him the best.
1:01:20
He's the best guy. Me,
1:01:22
popular Chalice, endorses the king

1:01:43
Jackal. Who looks for some reason a little
1:01:45
bit like Jauper today, just the way she like
1:01:47
did her hair. But it's the
1:01:49
Jackal, the PR person who brought in the
1:01:52
wizard and the camera crew when
1:01:54
Prince Milknip is at the bar. And
1:01:57

1:04:45
A family hair is specifically right
1:04:48
back to camp at All right
1:04:50
modern, subgroup printed and I water
1:04:52
under the bridge and he brings
1:04:55
you encounter close so that the
1:04:57
camera can't hear him and he
1:04:59
goes well none of your. And.
1:05:02
He longer under my protection. In
1:05:04
fact the opposite I've you know,
1:05:07
You. Have A caught my attention and
1:05:09
I assure you my attention it's not
1:05:11
something to be desired. All of you.
1:05:14
And your pathetic bar exists in my
1:05:16
kingdom where I make the rules And
1:05:18
let me make something very clear. Chalice
1:05:20
does this. Nobody says. It's
1:05:24
a little bit of snow. Let
1:05:27
me be something very clear. There
1:05:29
are less obvious ways than a sword
1:05:31
to destroy your lies. And believe me
1:05:33
when I say that's exactly what I
1:05:36
intend to do. Ah
1:05:38
what a glorious ah
1:05:40
oh God. Be
1:05:43
like taken crumbs. Off as Prince
1:05:45
Melt Nips Road and the in the
1:05:47
leader of the to be seen as
1:05:49
good as. A
1:05:51
service. With that we're going to
1:05:53
cut to Bottoms Up Save all!
1:05:56
Finally made it back. It sounds
1:05:58
like magic. define say? as
1:06:00
the people who would do anything for
1:06:03
you and put you before themselves. And
1:06:06
you're all languishing in this realization and
1:06:08
the fact that you're all together and
1:06:10
Bottoms Up is full
1:06:12
with revelry and it's you
1:06:14
four. And strangely, Prince Milknip is also
1:06:16
there. Yeah, he's been back because he saved the
1:06:18
day. He saved the day. He can have one
1:06:20
drink with us. So the four
1:06:23
of you and Jennifer are with the
1:06:25
whole group, you know, regular Joe's there.
1:06:27
Japetto Pinocchio is ripping the tune. You're
1:06:29
all toasting to Prince Milknip for saving
1:06:32
the day. To my terrible
1:06:34
baby brother and former lover.
1:06:37
No? No. Yes. Don't be
1:06:39
bashful, chow. We're not driven
1:06:41
anymore. We can talk about
1:06:43
it. We're still half-filling. Anyways,
1:06:49
because he has no filter and says everything he
1:06:51
thinks out loud, he's ended up saving the day
1:06:53
and pointing out the fact that the five of
1:06:55
us... You're booing yourself? You're
1:06:57
booing her? I said poo. Oh,
1:07:00
poo. If she said five, if she said
1:07:02
five of us... We are family and I knew that in
1:07:04
my heart and I think you did too. So
1:07:06
to Prince Milknip and to us, Bottoms
1:07:09
Up. Huzzah. There
1:07:11
was a bunch of cheers earlier to you all surviving that
1:07:13
the entire bar would scream and go, Huzzah.
1:07:16
But this time since it's to Prince Milknip, not
1:07:19
a lot of people like him very much. He went to
1:07:21
the very begrudgingly much quieter like, hello. I'm
1:07:23
seeing a live Bottoms Up. Just
1:07:28
jealous. No. She's like shoving his face.
1:07:32
And at that point, Tom Foolery
1:07:34
runs up. Oh my gosh. By the
1:07:37
way, I almost forgot during all the
1:07:39
commotion and whatnot. Beef,
1:07:41
somebody drop something off for you. It's
1:07:43
my magazines. No, no.
1:07:45
And he hands you a package. Beef
1:07:48
shakes it. It seems
1:07:50
like there's something like a little bit heavy in there. Maybe
1:07:52
it weighs like a pound or something like that. He
1:07:56
rips it open like a three Year
1:07:58
old on Christmas morning. You'd
1:08:01
about it erupted at can use in his
1:08:03
mouth. Two things fall out. One
1:08:05
is a necklace and ethical lock it.
1:08:08
And it's gold and beautiful that
1:08:10
to ornate are crazy fancy but
1:08:12
you can tell that it's cloudy.
1:08:14
My grandma's necklace. And with it
1:08:16
is a little note. To. See
1:08:18
I got I got. It
1:08:21
says. This.
1:08:24
Is your Grandma's necklace? Yeah
1:08:26
and. It was her
1:08:28
time. I think
1:08:30
your grandma passed away be enough for she
1:08:32
wasn't there to save you. He she
1:08:34
did see she's had those treatments. Yeah
1:08:37
to do. A.
1:08:40
Key. Issue thought about mean. Yeah.
1:08:43
Yeah. I. Think you're
1:08:45
probably top mind for her I
1:08:47
got imagine. Because there's also
1:08:49
this little. Marble here
1:08:51
than. Stop
1:08:54
Karabakh. Ah,
1:08:58
It. Says that. It's something that
1:09:00
belongs to you. And.
1:09:02
The you should Swallow it. I mean I figured
1:09:04
you will probably would have swallowed it anyway, but
1:09:06
it does specifically say that. Small object. yeah
1:09:08
was gonna say the first thing I saw
1:09:10
in Eat that. I
1:09:14
mean, I trust that woman with all
1:09:16
my heart. So here we go. Any
1:09:18
songs? The marble. And. As
1:09:20
soon as you saw that Margolin killer
1:09:22
go down your digestive track. You
1:09:25
feel. Like. The your insides are
1:09:27
glowing but in a way that's not going to
1:09:29
kill you. You
1:09:31
feel like there is something that you
1:09:33
have gained. And. Give me
1:09:35
a step perception check. A
1:09:39
to do with the to. You.
1:09:41
Don't see anything on your body
1:09:44
that would indicate that anything has
1:09:46
changed, but you feel something. And
1:09:49
you throw. You. Just feel that.
1:09:51
There's. A chance that if you went to seeing right
1:09:53
now that maybe you could. Oh
