1:46

And if you're not in a position

1:49

to be able to do that, that's

1:49

totally fine. 100% cool. One

1:54

thing you could do is maybe tell

1:54

a friend about us, we would

1:57

really appreciate that we want

2:01

we love you guys, and we love

2:03

2:03

mean the world to us. If you

2:06

told a friend about us, maybe

2:06

rate us on Apple podcast,

2:09

something like that. That would

2:09

be great. Um, and I think that's

2:12

Oh, one quick note, programming

2:12

note about this particular

2:16

episode. We maybe missed a

2:16

trigger. I'm not entirely sure,

2:21

but I'd rather be safe than

2:21

sorry. Honestly, there is the

2:24

mention of suicide in this book

2:24

again. It's not like exactly,

2:30

there, but better safe than

2:30

sorry. Um, so just a heads up

2:34

about that. So I think now that

2:34

we've made it through all that,

2:38

let's let me hit you with some

2:38

of that romance novel wisdom.

2:40

Hmm. Fair warning, you know,

2:40

it's, it's been a week. And so

2:46

today, I decided that instead,

2:46

you can actually get some life

2:51

romance life advice. Hey, guys.

2:51

Cheese is never a bad idea.

2:56

Yeah, that sounds about right.

2:56

So without further ado, I bring

3:02

you part two in our Twilight

3:02

series, episode 61 to the

3:09

vampire Vatican tearing me apart

4:54

5:35

it'll be at least from

5:35

if not a shows page one of our

5:38

host shows and it'll lead you

5:38

the right Alright, so,

5:49

monkey, spider monkey

5:49

spider monkey. Okay, so

5:53

listeners real quick. Let me go

5:53

ahead. Do you want Margie Jeremy

5:55

to go ahead and give the sort of

5:55

background? Yes for everything

5:58

or do you want to do that? Okay,

5:58

cool. So listeners, this is our

6:02

second time recording this

6:02

episode. The first time we

6:04

recorded for two hours and got

6:04

less than 20% through the book

6:07

and thus was spawned the safe

6:07

word of spider monkey. So we are

6:10

not getting off topic. I do not

6:10

know this spider monkey

6:14

reference. They all do. So, you

6:14

know. And this is technically

6:20

technically a two parter. So way

6:20

back if we go back in the

6:25

Wayback Machine and I will look

6:25

it up as I'm talking about this.

6:27

We discussed the first Twilight

6:27

book book not movie book and

6:33

scoring. Yeah. When what was it?

6:33

What's the midnight sun? Yes,

6:38

yes. Yeah. When that came out,

6:40

which I don't even know

6:40

what sort of cosmological thing

6:46

that references I don't know

6:46

what a midnight sun is.

6:49

It's a sure I'm not even

6:49

ladder. Alright, spider, monkey,

6:53

spider, monkey spider monkey.

6:55

So we have decided that

6:55

because I have not read anything

7:00

past the first book. We are

7:00

going to do make a series out of

7:03

this. And when we floated it to

7:03

some friends that we like to

7:07

discuss these things with. They

7:07

were like, Hey, can we be on

7:11

that? And those friends are the

7:11

lit specifically Tiffany but the

7:14

ladies.

7:17

I just want to say that.

7:17

I've said the same thing about

7:21

Tom Hiddleston. Hey, could we be

7:21

on the right? Track?

7:28

Okay, it was definitely.

7:28

Spider it was definitely Oh,

7:31

high school never ends episode

7:31

44. So if you haven't listened

7:34

to that one yet, and you don't

7:34

know what Twilight is? Maybe

7:37

jump in on that one.

7:38

Or if you don't know

7:38

what Twilight is? Maybe skip

7:40

that one. Save yourself some

7:40

trouble fair.

7:46

All right. All right.

7:46

All right. All right. So

7:50

do you guys remember how

7:50

much you guys remembered of the

7:54

cover from the last time that

7:54

you disgustedly Detailed cover?

8:00

The of flower? Yes, it is a

8:00

tulip. It is a white tulip that

8:07

has gone through the science

8:07

experiments of being put in. I

8:13

want to say water red food

8:13

coloring.

8:18

Exactly what it is. On

8:18

ad guys, if they actually used

8:22

red dye

8:24

blood could a white

8:24

could a tulip absorb. So

8:29

that flower is a

8:29

ruffled tulip, if anybody was

8:33

curious, and, and Stephanie

8:33

Myers has said that when it came

8:38

to the second book, she had no

8:38

say on the cover. And that's

8:41

just what the marketing team chose.

8:43

Okay, I was just about

8:43

to ask that because I was like,

8:45

what is the analogy that they

8:45

are going right here? I don't

8:50

really understand.

8:52

Oh, get you girl. Girls

8:52

get ready for Rachel Google

8:56

something. All

8:56

right. Whoa, hold on.

8:56

Spider Monkey. Yes. Let's get

9:01

started. This

9:01

is relevant. Okay, this

9:01

is totally relevant. I am going

9:06

to the meaning of flowers

9:06

because flowers are a language

9:10

from Victorian times. It's a

9:10

thing. So why tulips symbol

9:16

symbolizes forgiveness.

9:18

Oh, that I actually

9:18

track

9:23

tracks. All right,

9:24

good. What does it mean

9:24

when they're dipped in blood?

9:27

No, fuck you.

9:29

Yeah, hang on. We should

9:29

actually hold on y'all. For

9:33

those of you who are like me and

9:33

I've never actually read the

9:35

book because there are those

9:35

people out there I have not. The

9:38

book cover is black background,

9:38

says New Moon in the very

9:42

distinctive Twilight font. And

9:42

it has a ruffled white tulip.

9:48

Which I have just learned to me

9:48

it's forgiveness. That looks

9:51

like it is like been again in

9:51

that sort of science experiment

9:55

but with straight read like

9:55

blood like flu food died and

9:57

then there's a single petal

9:57

drip. Yeah, a pen or draft

10:02

coming down from it.

10:03

So I say this and I said

10:03

this for the last book, I said

10:06

this for Twilight for the time,

10:06

which was probably what like

10:10

2007 2000 no later than that.

10:10

No, actually 2007 2008 for at

10:17

the time, it was a very striking

10:17

cover. It caught your eye. You

10:22

know, I mean, the photo is

10:22

beautiful, so you get what

10:25

they're going for. Alright, who

10:25

wants to read the main scription

10:28

of the book? Okay.

10:30

Me. I'm the only one

10:30

going in blind. Let it be me.

10:33

Okay. Well, Rachel. Oh,

10:33

I have it. Do you have it? I

10:37

have it. Oh, I'm so proud. Thank

10:37

you.

10:40

Thank you. So I don't

10:40

know if this is how it is on the

10:43

back cover of the actual book.

10:43

But I am going to read this how

10:47

it is written on Goodreads.

10:49

Okay, ready. I

10:50

felt like I was prepped

10:50

in one of this terrifying

10:53

nightmare. The one where you

10:53

have to run run to your lungs

10:59

burst. But you can't make your

10:59

body move fast enough. But this

11:03

was no dream. And unlike the

11:03

nightmare, I wasn't running for

11:07

my life, I was racing to save

11:07

something infinitely more

11:10

precious. My own life meant

11:10

little to me today. For Bella

11:14

Swan, there is one more

11:14

important than life itself.

11:19

Edward Cullen but being in love

11:19

with a vampire is even more

11:23

dangerous than Bella could have

11:23

ever could ever have imagined.

11:26

Edward has already rescued Bella

11:26

from the clutches of one evil

11:29

vampire but now as their daring

11:29

relationship threatens all that

11:33

is near and dear to them. They

11:33

realize their troubles. Maybe

11:36

just beginning legions of

11:36

readers and trans by the New

11:41

York Times Best Okay, that's

11:41

just never mind. That's it.

11:45

Rachel Bravo. That was

11:48

Thank you. I felt like

11:48

you know, I had to do it

11:51

justice. Alright. You did you

11:51

know it was written that way for

11:55

a reason.

11:55

Are you guys ready for

11:55

some triggers?

11:58

Already? Sweet, not

11:58

those type of triggers.

12:01

I am almost done with my

12:01

whiskey and I'm upset.

12:05

Okay, so, um,

12:05

depression, self destructive

12:09

behavior. Self harm. Murder.

12:13

Oh, well, so Oh, come

12:13

on. I need one more for bingo.

12:16

Tiffany.

12:17

Emotional abuse. Yes.

12:17

Okay.

12:21

That's the first base emotional be?

12:23

Absolutely. Okay. Just

12:23

making sure like emotional

12:26

manipulation. Yeah.

12:27

emotional manipulation.

12:27

Um, Tiffany without being almost

12:32

grooming. Yeah, yes. Okay.

12:32

Tiffany, anything else that I'm

12:36

missing?

12:37

Not really, that you're missing. But I just want to point out that the fact that she

12:39

values her life less than Edward

12:42

Cullen that should tell you

12:42

everything you need to know

12:46

about this, but I have

12:47

the cheat. It's not even

12:47

that. And I think this is a sign

12:50

of depression is she values her

12:50

life less than everyone else? I

12:53

think that she values her life

12:53

less than her parents, Jacob,

12:56

everyone in her life that is

12:56

important to her.

13:00

So starting out strong,

13:00

right. All right. So and ready.

13:04

I would I would like to go ahead

13:04

and start this out right now.

13:08

Because High School Rachel would

13:08

not have realized this. Your

13:11

girl falls into some of those

13:11

triggers categories,

13:14

specifically having experienced

13:14

emotional and verbal abuse. So

13:19

boy High School, Rachel would

13:19

not have understood that. Yeah,

13:21

I mean, right from

13:21

someone who has depression. I

13:24

was reading this book and I was

13:24

like, Who boy triggers. Okay, so

13:29

yeah. Anyway, let's argue in our

13:29

books starts with Bella's

13:34

birthday. And Bella is actually

13:34

very unhappy that it's her

13:39

birthday because it means that

13:39

she is technically one year

13:42

older than her sweet vampire

13:42

boyfriend at work. And everyone

13:46

wish everyone at fellows High

13:46

School wishes Bella Happy

13:51

Birthday. And she's like, Ill

13:51

now.

13:57

Oh, she's one of those

13:57

people. Okay, she's like, Okay,

14:00

girl, I'd

14:00

already Okay. Okay. So

14:00

um, but Edwards family, the

14:05

colons who are all vampires and

14:05

are gonna live forever, right.

14:09

Haven't celebrated a birthday in

14:09

a really long time, and insist

14:14

on throwing Bella a party, a

14:14

birthday party, which is

14:18

actually still do

14:20

birthdays if you wanted,

14:21

right. Well. I mean, you

14:21

technically have to if you're a

14:25

vampire, yeah, that's true. But they're

14:27

all at the point where

14:27

they've been alive for so long

14:30

that they don't enjoy

14:30

celebrating it anymore. It's

14:33

kind of a curse. Well, they obviously do enjoy

14:34

celebrating birthdays if they're

14:37

so excited to have a birthday party.

14:40

They enjoy it for her

14:40

because it's technically like a

14:43

growth point for them. They've

14:43

never had a growth point.

14:46

They're never going to age. So

14:49

it is a growth point

14:49

because now she's officially a

14:51

year older, kind of not really.

14:51

But then Edward so now she's

14:58

basically a Spence God have over

14:58

eggs dried up Jesus.

15:03

Like Arizona in there

15:08

that's I love that. That

15:08

was really good. Thank you. So

15:12

Bella Bella is stubborn as we

15:12

already know and tells Alice

15:17

Colin like basically at this

15:17

point your sister in law almost

15:22

that six months. Yeah, but she's

15:22

18 Six months it's like forever

15:30

like dating and dog here Right?

15:30

Exactly. Apply it by seven.

15:34

Edward is pretty much like her.

15:34

Bella's boyfriend Edward vampire

15:38

boyfriend Edward is like, please

15:38

be nice. Just let my sister

15:41

throw your birthday party and

15:41

Bella, it's like, fine. I guess

15:45

I'll just be chill about this.

15:45

So later that night, Alice

15:51

throws Bella a beautiful

15:51

birthday party at the Colin's

15:55

house and like they they are

15:55

billionaires. So it really is a

15:58

beautiful party. Um, but because

15:58

Bella is a Cuban danger bagman.

16:05

She gets a paper cut from the

16:05

wrapping paper from one of the

16:11

gifts and starts bleeding and

16:11

Jasper, another one of the colon

16:16

siblings, who is a much younger

16:16

vampire like goes full on Rage

16:22

Mode and tries to get a bite out

16:22

of that. Gi

16:27

I I have a couple really

16:27

stupid questions just real

16:30

quick. I can I can. One is okay.

16:30

You bring your data in or danger

16:36

magnet that you know is a

16:36

danger. To a house full of

16:40

vampires. Fine. I guess I'll let

16:40

you throw me a birthday party.

16:44

Oh no. I accidentally stabbed

16:44

before through my hand. Oh, no.

16:48

Okay. Well, no, but she would

16:53

know it's wrapping paper

16:53

which is worse bag exists.

16:59

God this is to be in a

16:59

bubble soon. And to all of these

17:04

vampires are in high school,

17:04

supposedly. In a building full

17:10

of four years of hormones and

17:10

menstruation.

17:15

Spider Man

17:17

signifies Spider Man.

17:17

Spider Man Oh, no

17:20

spider monkey. Rachel.

17:21

You're telling me no,

17:21

you're telling me that a paper

17:25

cut is going to make this guy go

17:25

batshit when he's been around

17:28

women for this long Okay, that

17:28

is my only point I wanted to

17:31

make. You read it show blood is

17:31

different,

17:34

apparently. Apparently. Okay.

17:37

I actually think that

17:37

and we can go into this rant

17:41

later, Rachel, I will be so glad

17:41

to that. Stephenie Meyer

17:44

actually explained this at one

17:44

point

17:47

under the covers, in

17:47

addition to what we're going to

17:50

talk about now under the covers

17:50

under the cap. Okay, cool.

17:53

Continue.

17:54

All right. So I'm Jasper

17:54

tries to take a bite out of

17:58

Bella and it totally ruins the

17:58

mood of the party and belly gets

18:03

injured because Edward like

18:03

pushes her dramatically out of

18:06

the way. And Carlisle Carlisle

18:06

the father Doctor stitches her

18:13

up daddy, doctor, Daddy, Daddy,

18:13

Daddy, Daddy, Doctor Bella

18:20

reassures Edward she's so

18:20

Bella's like she's got. I think

18:25

she has like an injury on her

18:25

head and an injury on her arm

18:28

and she's like, she tells I'd

18:28

listen, I'm fine. I know that

18:31

this is a thing of having a

18:31

vampire boyfriend. It's cool.

18:35

Like it's not a big deal, but he

18:35

is really, really upset. So over

18:39

the next few days, Edwards mood,

18:39

like just takes a total

18:45

nosedive. In fact, he really

18:45

grows more desperate with Bella.

18:50

He's not as concerned with

18:50

spending time with her. And

18:55

she's like, I can tell like this

18:55

true love thing. I thought it

18:59

was gonna be like, a major thing

18:59

of my life, but it seems it's

19:03

not as big of a deal to him. So

19:06

angst is strong with

19:06

this one highschool relationship

19:09

summed up

19:09

you know, I mean, yeah,

19:09

high school never ends. So.

19:13

God haha, that wasn't even the first time.

19:16

So okay, so since Bella,

19:16

I just want to point this out

19:20

because it's really cute. And I

19:20

think it's one of the things

19:22

that s Meyer like, tried to keep

19:22

from the original Twilight book

19:27

but didn't continue into

19:27

Breaking Dawn was so since Bella

19:33

has been hanging out with the

19:33

colons her human friends have

19:39

actually moved their whole group

19:39

over to her in the cafeteria,

19:43

which is really cute. Like they

19:43

all just kind of like they all

19:47

love Bella so much, which is

19:47

like really surprising because

19:50

she's not a good friend. They

19:50

moved their their whole group

19:55

over to the colon table.

19:57

I have a theory on

19:57

that. Not really a theory but

19:59

uh, I guess it is everybody was

19:59

curious about the colons like to

20:03

the point where they were like,

20:03

they'd walk into the remember to

20:06

kind of like, stop and stare. So

20:06

they had their end. And as scary

20:11

as it would be, they had their

20:11

end to go over there and get to

20:14

know them. Think about

20:15

it in the other sense of

20:15

getting to know them. Maybe they

20:18

just wanted to get to know them.

20:18

So yeah, you know, anyway,

20:22

that's really cute. And I love

20:22

that ballot theory I liked I

20:25

really liked that.

20:27

So like, I would have

20:27

dropped Bella as a friend and a

20:30

goddamn her. And we'll

20:31

get into that because

20:31

she's not a good friend.

20:37

A good friend, right?

20:37

Exactly. 1,000%.

20:40

So a few days after

20:40

Bella's birthday party, our son

20:44

Jasper suddenly stopped

20:44

appearing at school. And I want

20:47

to know that Rosalie and Emmett

20:47

had stopped appearing a few

20:52

months before that because they

20:52

were on their like six honeymoon

20:55

or something like that. Like

20:55

they had great they technically

20:58

quote unquote, graduated from

20:58

Forex high school so they didn't

21:01

have to show up and wait.

21:02

Okay, I have no concept

21:02

for these other names. And you

21:05

guys will know because I've ever

21:05

chats I've been calling things

21:08

like Vampire, daddy, human,

21:08

daddy, etc. So two of the high

21:13

schoolers, the people pretending

21:13

to be high schoolers were

21:15

actually married. Yes,

21:17

they were actually married.

21:19

Okay, yes.

21:20

So great. Let's just go

21:20

over this really quick. So we

21:23

have Carlisle was the first

21:23

vampire and he changed Empire

21:28

Daddy, I'm sorry, daddy, and he

21:28

changed Edward. And then after

21:32

he changed Edward, I think he

21:32

changed Rosalie after that, and

21:36

he was it.

21:38

I thought it was his

21:38

when he changed his wife, okay.

21:42

I

21:42

don't know if it was as

21:42

me. So as me it was either as

21:45

May 1 Who is kind of like the

21:45

mother, Carla and her mom, her

21:49

vampire mom. Right. And then

21:49

Rosalie who was meant to be

21:54

Edwards partner. Yeah. And okay,

21:54

Edward just didn't have feelings

22:00

for her. And then our vampire

22:00

spurned lover got it. And then

22:05

eventually, it wasn't I don't

22:05

know how long it was ago, but

22:08

not that long. Rosalie found in

22:08

the woods ever tried to fight a

22:14

bear we're not getting into that

22:14

drive to fight a bear. Ever

22:20

tried to find a bear at last as

22:20

a Cuba because you know, he's a

22:23

human. And Rosalie found him and

22:23

changed him into a vampire and

22:28

carried a vampire bear wrestler. I

22:30

got a side note. He's

22:30

like my favorite of the colons.

22:33

Okay. All right.

22:36

I know when Alice joined

22:36

into the family, but she was

22:40

already a vampire when she I

22:40

remember

22:42

Carlile Alice from the

22:42

movie. She's the pixie get

22:45

spunky one that I actually

22:45

liked. Yes. Yes. So if

22:49

she showed up and was

22:49

like, You're my family, vampire,

22:53

Tiffany,

22:53

pretty much. It was with

22:53

Rachel and Zach. And then she

22:57

actually started having visions

22:57

about Jasper being her life

23:02

partner, because she gets to the

23:02

future.

23:06

You know what, I'm not

23:06

going to go that. Sure. Great.

23:10

So you probably found

23:10

Jasper because like, being able

23:15

to see the future and all of

23:15

that and brought him back

23:19

brought him into the fold. So

23:19

that's the family right? Okay,

23:23

so we have to move on. Alright,

23:23

so

23:27

go just go

23:28

Bella, we're moving back

23:28

to Edward in Bella's life has

23:34

started to change. And she can

23:34

tell because like, apparently

23:38

they're soulmates, whatever. You

23:38

know, Edward is really starting

23:42

to become distant with Bella and

23:42

Bella is starting to panic.

23:46

She's like, okay, like, they're

23:46

all vampires, it must be time

23:50

for them to leave. And he

23:50

doesn't want to tell me like, he

23:54

knows that we're all gonna have

23:54

to move it herself included to

23:59

just to make it so that they

23:59

don't have to hide forever. You

24:03

know, like, very

24:04

sure, right? Getting to

24:04

the end of the 10 years, roughly

24:07

right, right. We're right.

24:09

So when Bella returned

24:09

home from work, because she is

24:12

working at an outdoors store,

24:12

okay, it's just really funny

24:16

because she's not outdoorsy at

24:16

all. No, Edwards like hey, let's

24:21

go take a walk. And she's like,

24:21

Okay, this is it. Like he's

24:25

gonna tell me what's really

24:25

going on? It's gonna tell me why

24:28

he's been so distant. He's gonna

24:28

tell me where his family fucking

24:31

is. And

24:34

hey, human friend. Let's

24:34

go for an alone walk in the

24:38

woods with me a vampire. Betsy?

24:40

She would be so down

24:40

for that. But yeah, I mean, oh,

24:43

we've

24:43

already been through

24:43

that. Rachel there though.

24:46

That's the last book right

24:46

sorry. So he he actually takes

24:53

her within like walking distance

24:53

of her house. And is like, an

24:58

Edward is like okay, Bella. My

24:58

family is leaving. If you

25:02

haven't noticed half of over

25:02

half of us already gone and

25:05

Bella's like, okay, all right. I

25:05

really didn't want to leave my

25:08

parents. I didn't really want to

25:08

have to explain to my parents

25:11

what was happening already, but

25:11

like, Okay, where are we going?

25:14

And Edwards like, Okay, what I

25:14

said we, I didn't mean you.

25:22

I had a high school

25:22

boyfriend break up with me like

25:24

that to

25:30

six months, I want to

25:30

say have been together for six

25:34

months, right?

25:36

I think that that's a

25:36

short so like, Tiffany, her leg

25:42

injury was pretty substantial.

25:42

So we're gonna say that it was

25:46

like at least six months, if not

25:46

eight months that they

25:51

came together. Okay.

25:51

Eight months? Yeah.

25:56

Look again at 18 1717.

25:56

Right.

26:02

I started dating Zach,

26:02

when I was 16, almost 17

26:08

hormones all over the place at

26:08

eight months. And he said, Hey,

26:13

we're leaving out of in like us

26:13

sex by

26:16

by Rachel soulmates.

26:20

I relate to Bella in so

26:20

many ways. Because when I first

26:24

read a vampire or not Vampire

26:24

Diaries, that was a good one

26:29

too. But when I first read

26:29

Twilight, I was going through a

26:31

serious depressive state at

26:31

night. Just like all consuming,

26:36

and I related to her because

26:36

she's a character that's written

26:39

very broad and plain so anybody

26:39

can adapt. Sure, yeah. But the

26:43

way she latches on to him is the

26:43

way I latch on to everything in

26:46

my life. So you guys are screwed.

26:51

Oil please latch on to

26:51

me. Yes. Yes.

26:54

I am on suckle suckle.

27:00

No, I hated that. I love

27:00

it. Rachel.

27:05

Spider monkey. I relate to her and I would have

27:09

been the same way.

27:11

So Bella is pretty

27:11

stunned by Edwards admission

27:17

that he doesn't want her to come

27:17

with them. And she's like, Look,

27:21

I get that the whole Jasper

27:21

thing was awkward. I get that it

27:25

wasn't what you wanted for me.

27:25

But it's it was bound to happen.

27:31

It was bound to happen at some

27:31

point and I'm fine. Look at me.

27:34

I'm fine. I'm alive.

27:34

Everything's all good. And I

27:36

love you. And but Edwards like,

27:36

look, this isn't about that. I

27:42

really just don't want you. And

27:42

Bella looks into his eyes and

27:47

can Seve can see that. It's

27:47

true. Like

27:51

Oh, right. Yeah, because

27:51

everyone that's basically why

27:54

even do polygraphs, it's fine.

27:54

You

27:58

just want to play it.

27:58

Listen, listen, I have a lot of

28:03

critiques of this book, but she

28:03

right heartache. Okay, I felt

28:09

that moment. I was like, oh my

28:09

god, like, what

28:14

I mean, that's very

28:14

fair, you also have to

28:16

understand that and I fully

28:16

admit this, I'm coming into this

28:20

a little bit biased because I

28:20

know where this book series

28:22

goes, kinda I've just feel like

28:25

I'm gonna play devil's

28:25

advocate a little bit because

28:28

and I'm not saying it because

28:28

like, I like this book series,

28:31

because I don't, but there are

28:31

parts of it that I just like I

28:35

helped us to import. Okay, so

28:37

well, and I want that's

28:37

the reason we have Tiffany and

28:41

everyone else on is because

28:41

Tiffany and Margie I know you

28:43

are going to kind of defend

28:43

this, which I want. And I have

28:47

no context. And then Ashley,

28:47

Rebecca, you got to come in with

28:51

the other stuff, man. Got it.

28:53

You got it. Ready? Yeah,

28:53

spider monkey. Okay, spider

28:56

monkey now for this one is this.

28:56

Listen, guys, so this is really

29:01

crazy. So Edward just leaves.

29:01

Edward is like, Don't get into

29:08

any trouble. Like don't get into

29:08

yourself into danger. Goodbye.

29:13

And he leaves he does that that

29:13

vampire thing reuses the

29:16

superspeed and she like wanders

29:16

around round into the woods like

29:21

looking for him just like an

29:21

Arco de Yeah, literally. And a

29:25

complete day's looking for him.

29:25

And then she literally just

29:30

curls up. I think no, she

29:30

sprained her ankle and then she

29:33

just doesn't bother getting up

29:33

after she sprained her ankle.

29:37

That's the

29:38

part that I related to

29:38

with the club. That's the only

29:44

time I ever related to her. I've

29:44

seen you do that before where

29:47

it's like a minor inconvenience. You're just like

29:49

I'm done.

29:52

I'm just gonna curl

29:52

into a ball and stay here

29:54

forever.

29:55

So she lays there and

29:55

she's lying in Just basically a

30:01

state. I'm just going to call it

30:01

a state until this guy named Sam

30:07

comes in Finder and she kind of

30:07

noticed this before he comes to

30:10

find, sir, like a little, like,

30:10

like a dog snuffling around her.

30:16

You know, just like a little

30:16

sniff. Yeah. Good sniff like

30:20

that

30:20

one terrible. Good.

30:20

Hey,

30:24

and he comes in, picks

30:24

her up and carries her home. The

30:28

it's explained to Charlie and

30:28

she hears this that Dr. Kira

30:34

Lila Colin, did you guys see

30:34

that?

30:38

Okay, can't get by

30:41

Dr. Kyler Carlisle,

30:41

Colin has moved to a hospital in

30:44

LA, which is completely

30:44

impossible. He would never move

30:47

to a hospital in LA. And they're

30:47

not coming back son.

30:51

Wouldn't they have a

30:51

better if they're really trying

30:53

to get away from Bella, when

30:53

they have a better cover story

30:55

than a light said she knows

30:55

they're vampires.

30:57

Well, that's the thing,

30:57

though, is that I think that

31:00

they chose la because she knows

31:00

that they would never go there.

31:06

But she also doesn't know where

31:06

they went.

31:09

Yeah, she has been

31:09

like, way attract for her to try

31:13

and sniff. So I

31:14

just want to got up to

31:14

snuff out exactly. So she really

31:21

just goes into. So this is hard,

31:21

a little bit because Bella goes

31:29

into a state. And when I say

31:29

that, I don't mean like the

31:33

Victorian sense. I mean, like

31:33

the depression sense in that,

31:37

like there are pages of just

31:37

months that go by so that

31:42

October, November, December,

31:42

January, waking up so she

31:50

doesn't quote unquote wake up

31:50

out of this depressive non, like

31:55

she's not absorbing memories, I

31:55

guess we're supposed to assume

31:59

state until February. And it

31:59

says, so it says four is waking

32:06

up. That's chapter four time

32:06

passes, even when it seems

32:10

impossible. Even when each tick

32:10

of the second hand aches like

32:14

the pulse of blood behind a

32:14

bruise. It passes on evenly in

32:17

strange lurches and Dragon lols.

32:17

But pasa does, even for me.

32:23

So, so I respect that

32:23

like, especially as an 18 year

32:27

old, like that is a really good

32:27

gut wrenching kind of like, you

32:31

know, it gets that across, but

32:31

at the same time, you are 18 and

32:36

your boyfriend broke up with you.

32:38

I mean, I do love,

32:38

love, but I do get that. But as

32:44

somebody who deals with

32:44

depressive episodes, and exactly

32:49

like, when you're going through

32:49

something dark like that, that's

32:52

what it's like, well, I will

32:52

give her credit for that. I have

32:56

to agree with Tiffany.

32:58

That is totally Yeah.

32:58

And I I do not have depression.

33:02

So I do not, I am not a person

33:02

with depression. So I do not

33:05

know that. But I think that if

33:05

this book addressed it as Yes,

33:14

depressed depression, it would

33:14

be better, but I feel like it's

33:20

more of a dress just as Yeah,

33:20

this is fine for you. This

33:24

we're gonna you know, I

33:24

think that the likening,

33:27

especially in the early to, you

33:27

know, up until 2010 was or 2015

33:35

Even was depression and anxiety

33:35

were like into like tuberculosis

33:40

in the Victorian era where it

33:40

was very fashionable to

33:45

I can see that you know

33:45

what I? Yeah, as a hot topic,

33:49

haunt. Right, right. Right. My

33:49

high school I could see

33:52

that. And I think that

33:52

Bella kind of fulfills that

33:56

mold. Yeah. And yeah, I'm

33:56

looking back on it. It's really

34:03

anyway, um, she wakes up Bella

34:03

quote unquote wakes up because

34:07

her dad Charlie, who is a saint

34:07

is like, Bella, I am sending you

34:12

back home. i Yeah, that's that's

34:12

Charlotte. Rachel's Charlie.

34:20

Daddy,

34:22

Bella, human Daddy. Oh,

34:24

no. Well, I want you to

34:24

know Rachel's that people are

34:28

pairing Charlie with Carlisle

34:28

which I totally hear.

34:32

That's fine. Who did we

34:32

decide was Carlisle was vampire

34:35

daddy. I think Becca was

34:38

Daddy right? Yeah. Oh,

34:38

Becca is holding a cat. I would

34:43

ship you too hard. Simon. No,

34:43

no,

34:46

I am in no way opposed.

34:46

All right. So.

34:52

Okay, so Charlie's like,

34:52

I am sending you back to

34:56

Phoenix. You need to be with

34:56

your mother. You are not doing

34:59

well here. I cannot just let you

34:59

waste away here. Okay, just

35:04

making sure. And Bella is like,

35:04

Charlie, I'm fine. It's chill.

35:09

I'm totally cool. And he's like,

35:09

No, you're not. And she's like,

35:12

Yeah. I hanging out with a

35:12

friend tonight we're going to

35:18

the movies. And Charlie's like,

35:18

Yeah, sure. Um, and actually so

35:27

like, and it's this really

35:27

shitty thing where she

35:31

manufactures this whole evening

35:31

out with Jessica, who's Anna

35:36

Kendrick? I believe in the

35:36

movie. I think it's Anna

35:39

Kendrick in the movie. Yeah, it

35:39

is. And like, like, goes up to

35:46

Jessica and is like, hey, like,

35:46

how you doing? And Jessica's,

35:50

like you haven't talked to me in

35:50

four months. And suddenly you

35:56

want to hang out and Bella's

35:56

like, yeah, I need some girl

35:59

time. And Jessica's like, okay,

35:59

okay. And they go to a movie,

36:07

which Bella sits out a lot of

36:07

because poor Bella is having

36:11

anxiety attacks. I think she at

36:11

least has two panic attacks for

36:16

the hole in the movie. Um, and

36:16

it's really sad. But she also

36:23

doesn't tree I think that she

36:23

doesn't train Jessica ver. I

36:29

don't think she carries Jessica

36:29

well that night at all. So at

36:32

the end after the movie is over.

36:32

Bella and Jessica are I think

36:37

they're looking to get dinner

36:37

Yes. And Bella season to this

36:42

bar and she sees these people

36:42

who look kind of like the

36:45

Colin's walk into the bar. And

36:45

she's like, I got to go into

36:50

that bar. Now, Bella, is 17 She

36:50

cannot walk into a bar. And

36:56

Jessica knows this. And

36:56

Jessica's like, Bella, what are

37:00

you doing? Stop, come back. And

37:00

Bella's like, No, I just got a

37:05

check. I just got to check. I

37:05

just gotta check. And just

37:09

because like doing and suddenly

37:09

Bella in her head, hears Edwards

37:14

voice telling her Oh, good.

37:14

Don't go into the bar. What are

37:21

you doing? What What? What are

37:21

you doing? Like, what, what?

37:26

What are you doing? And he's

37:26

like a turn around and go back

37:31

to Jessica. And so Bella feels

37:31

the first moment of like life in

37:37

her for months.

37:40

Okay, so I thought that

37:40

he couldn't get in her head. You

37:42

couldn't? You can't. Okay, yeah.

37:45

Which makes worse. See

37:45

how it gets worse from that?

37:52

Yeah, yeah, that's not

37:52

good. Good. Good now, and also I

37:58

thought she was 18 she only

37:58

seven? I

38:00

think at this point. I

38:00

am 99% Sure. She's only 17

38:04

because she can't walk and she's

38:04

only 17 Yeah, cuz she can't walk

38:07

into that bar. And you can walk

38:07

into bars when you're 18.

38:10

So Edward is only 16.

38:12

Edward. Edward was

38:12

seven. And Wilson was 17. She

38:17

was upset that so she turned 17

38:17

past 17 She's getting older than

38:21

him.

38:22

Okay, I still say that I

38:22

would I love Zach to death, I

38:27

would not want to still be with

38:27

17 year old Zach. But okay,

38:30

let's keep going.

38:32

So, um, so at that

38:32

moment, and well, not

38:38

necessarily at that moment, but

38:38

later on Bella realizes that

38:41

when Bella is being quote

38:41

unquote, stupid or reckless, as

38:46

Edward said, Oh, I see whether

38:46

it's going to not be she can

38:52

hear Edwards voice in her mind.

38:52

So I

38:55

remember the commercial

38:55

for the movie and her driving

38:57

off of a cliff and that is all I remember.

39:03

The book, but it could

39:03

happen in the movie. Tiffany,

39:07

you have to admit that could

39:07

have been what happened in the

39:09

movie? It could have been I'm

39:09

pretty

39:13

sure that they made it

39:13

appear that way in the trailer.

39:17

Trailer. I've

39:18

never seen the movie.

39:19

Okay. I don't know that.

39:19

So, okay, I never saw the movie.

39:23

So um, so after this encounter,

39:23

where Bella hears Edwards voice

39:29

in her mind in a moment of

39:29

danger. Bella is determined to

39:32

hear Ed's Edwards voice again,

39:32

no matter what the costs. So

39:37

she's learning to be an ad,

39:37

okay, she's driving down the

39:40

road and she's like, how do I do

39:40

this? How do I do this? How do I

39:42

get myself into danger enough?

39:42

Where I'm in danger, or I feel

39:48

like I'm in danger, but I'm not

39:48

going to die. And she sees two

39:53

motorcycles for free on the side

39:53

of the road. They're dead. It

39:57

says they're dead. And she's

39:57

like, Cool and she has she's

40:01

throws them in the back of her

40:01

track. And she drives to her

40:07

good friend Jacob blacks house

40:07

now. Rachel, do you remember who

40:13

Jacob Black is? Wolf boy? Well,

40:13

so we're getting getting those

40:20

spoiler alert.

40:21

Oh, sorry. I know. Okay,

40:21

okay. poorly represented Native

40:26

American character in the movies

40:28

they're also doing they

40:28

do make meaning. Um, so in the

40:32

previous book, Jacob hat is in

40:32

the cannot pronounce the name

40:36

Quileute tribe. And she had hung

40:36

out with him in the previous

40:42

book at law push beach. And he

40:42

had told her about quote,

40:45

unquote, the cold ones, aka the

40:45

colons. Oh, right. He's the

40:50

one that yeah, that

40:50

narc. You narcs

40:52

Right. Exactly. And but

40:52

she also knows that Jacob works

40:56

on cars, and that Jacob and the

40:56

previous book was in to her. So

41:00

she's like, maybe home, you

41:00

know, bring these motorcycles

41:03

back to life. And she brings him

41:03

the motorcycles and he is more

41:06

than willing to bring these

41:06

motorcycles back to life. And

41:09

he's like, it's really cute.

41:09

Because he's really young. He's

41:12

younger than her and like, it's

41:12

gonna cost a lot of money. And

41:16

she's like, how much and he's

41:16

like, it's gonna cost like $100

41:26

Okay, child, maybe. You so

41:26

precious at this point, he

41:33

becomes an asshole. Well, as

41:37

as you're saying that I

41:37

am starting to feel real bad

41:39

about the thoughts that ran

41:39

through my head during the move

41:42

right now. So innocent,

41:44

so um, we were a lot

41:44

younger. Yeah. Well, so for

41:49

sure. And, and also, Jacob is

41:49

willing, Jacob is like, hey,

41:55

let's hang out. You know, while

41:55

I working on the bikes, you can

41:59

like chill here and we'll just

41:59

talk and you can work on

42:02

homework. And it's Shelton for

42:02

Bella works perfectly because

42:05

she's out of the house. So

42:05

Charlie isn't worried about her.

42:09

And she really likes hanging out

42:09

with Jacob, who was just a

42:11

really good friend like Jacob.

42:11

It's just like a really warm,

42:15

comforting presence to her. And

42:15

he's like, you know, nipping at

42:19

her heels and just like, you

42:19

know, rubbing against her leg

42:24

and

42:26

that's a lot of cat

42:26

stuff. In her

42:30

in her lap, and just

42:30

like rolling on. We're bringing

42:36

her bunnies that he's

42:36

killed. Weird. quirky little

42:42

quirk. Can I just say I just

42:42

watched the trailer while we

42:47

were discussing this. Yes, they

42:47

make it look like she jumped off

42:52

a cliff. Okay,

42:53

well, that's actually

42:53

fair. Spider that's it. They had

43:03

this really cute joke of they

43:03

argue who was quote unquote,

43:06

older between the two of them

43:06

based on experience. So they say

43:10

that she's older because she's

43:10

traveled more but he's older

43:15

because he has more experience

43:15

with cars and it's just kind of

43:18

cute like I see what s Meyer was

43:18

doing your I mean, um,

43:23

so that that's great

43:23

for somebody mental health who

43:25

spiraled into a depressive

43:25

episode because they were

43:28

getting older than their boy

43:33

that was really good.

43:33

Thank you. And it's basically

43:39

arguing dog years between the

43:39

two of them. So

43:45

wow, I still have no

43:45

idea where this is going.

43:49

So Jacob Avella start

43:49

getting closer hang out almost

43:53

every day they become almost

43:53

best friends because honestly,

43:57

Jacob's best friends have kind

43:57

of left him they have all joined

44:02

this quote unquote gang and as

44:02

Jacob explains to Bella, lead

44:09

pack if you will. Sorry. Oh,

44:09

this yes this pappy will Oh,

44:15

exactly. And understand what's

44:15

going to happen I don't know and

44:19

they're real in shape is really

44:19

upset by he's really worried

44:22

about his friends. He's like,

44:22

they all seem to be following

44:26

after Sam all the sudden and I

44:26

don't understand why they won't

44:29

talk to me anymore. But they're

44:29

all giving me this really weird

44:32

looks. And I'm and Bella's like,

44:32

oh my god, I'm so sorry. I don't

44:38

know what's happening, but I'm

44:38

totally here for you. And Jacobs

44:42

like thanks. I really appreciate

44:42

it. Let's just keep hanging out

44:44

as much as possible and they

44:44

both do. So after that,

44:54

do you have good memory

44:54

now? Yes,

44:58

fine mother. So Well, I

44:58

told you guys before excuse me

45:02

that that Bella's Friends had

45:02

joined the colons right. So now

45:10

Bella has just rejoined the

45:10

original cafeteria group, but

45:15

she just thought she had not

45:15

spoken to anyone in that group

45:18

for like four months. And then

45:18

all of a sudden she did. And

45:22

they're like what? You're

45:22

actually Okay, a couple of cute

45:29

moments because one of her

45:29

friends Angela's like, Are you

45:34

back now? And Bella Angela, so

45:34

wholesome, Angela's so

45:39

wholesome. And Bella's like,

45:39

Yeah, I think I am back. And

45:43

Angela's like, good, because I

45:43

really missed you. And it's just

45:48

so Oh, I know. So I'm sure so

45:48

but now that Bella is quote

45:57

unquote, alive, I guess I would

45:57

say it. Mike Newton is like

46:01

laser eyes. He's got his laser

46:01

High School eyes on Bella. And

46:08

he's like, Hey, let's go to the

46:08

movies and Bella's like, oh, oh,

46:12

I see where this is going. Um,

46:12

yeah, let's go to the movies

46:15

with all of our friends.

46:15

Unfortunately, all of the

46:20

friends can't come like

46:20

literally all the friends can

46:23

come. So it ends up being Bella

46:23

and Mike, and Jacob. It doesn't

46:30

get awkward. No, not at all.

46:30

Okay, Bella is sitting in the

46:33

middle in this movie theater

46:33

with her like hands across her

46:37

chest. Because both boys want to

46:37

hold her hand.

46:41

The friends said they

46:41

couldn't come but Mike Newton

46:44

definitely threatened to break

46:44

their kneecaps.

46:47

I was like, No, we're

46:47

not. We're not going anymore.

46:50

Guys. Don't worry about it. We're not.

46:52

Okay, so they watch the

46:52

zombie movie. Mike runs out in

46:57

the middle of the movie and

46:57

Bella. Yeah, I know. Like, hey,

47:03

maybe you should go check on

47:03

them. So they, Jacob goes into

47:07

the bathroom and checks on him

47:07

and Bella like stands outside

47:10

the bathroom. And Jacob comes

47:10

out and is like, oh god, he's

47:14

got a stomach flu. He is really,

47:14

really sick. And in that time,

47:19

when Mike is puking his guts out

47:19

in the bathroom. Bella and Jacob

47:25

had this like heart to heart.

47:25

You know, the perfect time to

47:29

have a heart

47:30

hurt. And outside of

47:30

the men's room and

47:34

Exactly, I mean, it's so

47:34

teenager, right? Um, and they

47:40

Bella's like, Listen, what it

47:40

comes down to is I was in love

47:44

with this one guy. I'm not going

47:44

to stop being in love with him.

47:48

And I am not going to enter

47:48

another relationship. And Jacob

47:53

is like, I will be here waiting.

47:53

I'm still your friend and I

47:56

still really care about you. And

47:56

that's like, what comes out of

48:00

the conversation that they had.

48:00

Mike comes out of the bathroom.

48:03

They drive my home. He is a

48:03

wreck. Poor guy. God had the the

48:09

stomach flu is just the worst.

48:09

Right? Everyone feels

48:11

okay. But mid COVID

48:11

Rachel is like no. Why is he not

48:17

quiet? Why is everyone not

48:17

quarantining? This is not okay.

48:21

masks should have been warning.

48:21

So right. Everyone in

48:25

that theater needs to

48:25

quarantine? Yes.

48:28

So they go home. Bella's

48:28

like, tells her dad I feel fine.

48:33

The next morning, of course, or

48:33

like later on that evening. She

48:37

feels terrible. She had sea flu.

48:37

Right? She gets stomach flows.

48:41

She feels awful. And I have to

48:41

say Charlie is not that great of

48:45

a dad. He like leaves her glass

48:45

of water that goes to work. I

48:48

would do that. Yeah, do that.

48:52

Make him a bad dad.

48:53

I'm human daddy. No, I

48:53

wouldn't do that. I would take

48:56

care of somebody and get her a

48:57

lease Pedialyte.

49:02

I mean, that is the same one that when she was going

49:03

through her episode, he's like,

49:05

ah, go back to Arizona. Go to

49:05

your MCO talk to your mother.

49:11

He's so wholesome, but totally

49:11

does not know what

49:16

he loves. So much. Um,

49:16

so after this episode of Rachel,

49:22

Rachel, but

49:25

I'm feeling attacked right now.

49:29

After this episode where

49:29

Bella is sick, she calls Jake

49:32

was like, hey, when when do you

49:32

want to hang out? And Jacob was

49:34

like, I really don't feel good.

49:34

I feel awful. And Bella's like,

49:39

Oh, it's a stomach flu. You're

49:39

gonna get over it. It's cool.

49:42

And and you'll be the stomach

49:42

flu. He does not talked to her

49:49

and she's like, why is going on?

49:49

What in the hell is going on?

49:54

And so she sits outside of his

49:54

house. She drives up to his

49:57

house and sits outside because

49:57

he will not returning calls when

50:02

she didn't have a cell phone,

50:02

which doesn't surprise me for

50:05

Bella colon, or Bella Bella Swan

50:05

excuse me later Oh shit. So Jay

50:13

does not have like he she just

50:13

sits outside his house because

50:17

she's like, You did talk to me.

50:17

And so he shows up eventually.

50:23

Shirtless Of course.

50:26

Right here, wait, he's underage note with

50:29

the width. He's like 16

50:29

with Sam,

50:33

which is the guy that

50:33

that was, like the leader of the

50:38

cult that Jacob was previously

50:38

upset about? Yes, Rachel,

50:42

can I call something? He

50:42

went through his time of the

50:46

month and became a big boy and

50:46

became a werewolf. Maybe? So and

50:52

also if I had $1 for every time

50:52

I thought I had the stomach flu

50:55

and actually turned into a werewolf, baby.

50:59

So and he, Rachel,

50:59

Rachel, why do I keep saying

51:03

Rachel? Okay, so

51:05

I'm feel like you're projecting.

51:11

Bella. It's like, hey,

51:11

what? What is the deal? Why

51:15

won't you talk to me? And Jacobs

51:15

like you need to stay away from

51:19

me. I cannot hang out with you.

51:19

I'm dangerous. Like it's it's

51:24

well, it's too dangerous. And

51:24

like, I don't want to hurt you.

51:30

And good for me.

51:32

She's a fucking danger

51:32

magnet. Of course everyone wants

51:35

to protect.

51:36

Right? So she's

51:36

devastated because she's lost

51:41

her boyfriend. Now. She's lost

51:41

her best friend who she's had

51:44

for two days. Anyway.

51:50

I relate. She loves she loves deep.

51:55

She goes. So Bella goes

51:55

through at least like a few days

52:01

where she doesn't hear from

52:01

Jacob. And I have to admit it is

52:03

very sad. But in those days, she

52:03

finds ways to make herself

52:07

occupied, which is see Do you

52:07

guys remember? The meadow?

52:13

Oh, is this the baseball

52:13

place? Or is this the sparkle

52:16

sparkle place? Oh, okay,

52:16

sparkly. So Bella is like a

52:20

charm. And she's like, I'm gonna

52:20

find the sparkle place on my

52:23

own. Because I want to hear

52:23

Edwards voice again. She thinks

52:26

that if she goes back to the

52:26

marketplace, she will hear

52:29

Edwards voice and she that's

52:29

totally, totally helpfully

52:36

O'Neill. You know. Fortunately,

52:36

she so she makes it there. She

52:41

has a whole panic attack while

52:41

she's there. And it's great that

52:48

Lauren shows up. Do you guys

52:48

remember Lauren? are good

52:51

friends. So

52:54

you say that name and

52:54

all of a sudden I get I guess I

52:58

do remember him even if it's

52:58

subconscious. Oh,

53:00

Lawrence was in the

53:00

previous book. James like

53:06

targeted Bella and decided he

53:06

was going to kill Bella to make

53:10

Edward jealous and unhappy. So

53:10

Solid motivation, right. So

53:15

Lawrence was attached to James

53:15

was like part of the same quote

53:19

unquote coven. And so when Bella

53:19

is in this meadow, she's like,

53:25

Oh, hey, what's up, Lauren? This

53:25

totally cool. I haven't seen a

53:29

vampire forever. And he's like,

53:29

so where's your boyfriend? And

53:34

she's like, Oh, no, he's around.

53:34

Around it's show having a boy or

53:43

whatever. You know, like you

53:43

would be totally chill if we

53:46

hung out. And Laura was like,

53:46

Yeah, hang out. Do you really

53:50

drink your blood? Because that's

53:50

what I'm gonna do. And she's

53:54

like, do

53:54

you see my red eyes

53:54

that are a gold?

53:56

Right, so Belen knows

53:56

that Laura is planning on

54:01

drinking your blood. She's like,

54:01

okay, like this is it? Oh, no

54:05

gold

54:07

Swiper no swiping.

54:10

Out of the forest come

54:10

these five humongous wolves? And

54:16

she's like, What are those

54:16

things? And they chase after

54:22

Lauren and run him off and she

54:22

like comes out of it alive. So

54:28

after that, she goes home. Well,

54:28

so she what she learned from the

54:33

encounter with Lauren though is

54:33

that this other vampire don't go

54:37

in the woods. Yeah. That's fair,

54:37

but also that this other vampire

54:44

that James was involved with?

54:44

Victoria is looking to kill

54:50

Bella.

54:51

Okay, yes. I would like

54:51

to mention that you could

54:55

replace a good chunk of this

54:55

plot just replace the vampires

54:58

with mafia men and It would make

54:58

total sense what?

55:01

Me what yeah, I'll get

55:01

into that later but so

55:05

good actually are done. I wouldn't be mad at

55:09

Ashley I get you. Okay,

55:09

so,

55:12

but somebody does a lot

55:12

of people tell me I need

55:16

a mafia dude, I get so

55:16

many tiktoks Where it's like if

55:19

you take these people get a

55:19

therapist and I'm like, I think

55:22

these people already have a

55:22

therapist, so we're good.

55:26

I still dig

55:28

right now. So spider monkey. Oh,

55:31

is that day goes by Oh, see,

55:32

that's spider monkey.

55:32

Oh, yes, spider. Spider Monkey.

55:35

Oh, poor Bella goes home that

55:35

afternoon like she hikes home.

55:39

And she's like thinking that

55:39

she's gonna die because there's

55:42

this vampire s, vampire vampire

55:42

s whatever you want to call it

55:46

after her. And she wakes up in

55:46

the middle of the night to

55:50

knocking on her window, which I

55:50

don't know what vampire, like,

55:54

knocks on a window, whatever.

55:54

But it's Jacob's. Well. They let

55:58

it have to be when they would

55:58

have to be like, Yeah, I was

56:01

thinking to your right. But

56:01

these dampers do not need to be

56:05

let in. So I'm right. She wakes

56:05

up and she's like, freaked out.

56:10

And it's Jake about her window

56:10

and he swings into her room and

56:14

says, I am so sorry for and I

56:14

said to you, but I am in a

56:19

really tough situation right

56:19

now. And I need you to guess

56:23

what is happening to me. And,

56:23

like 20 questions? Yes, word.

56:28

Isn't she on this second?

56:30

Yes. Okay, Jacob, get a

56:30

tree. He's wolf boy. Okay. So

56:39

one of you is right, I think

56:42

he does use a tree. So,

56:42

um, he's like, listen, I cannot

56:48

tell you what happened to me or

56:48

why I can't be your friend

56:52

anymore. But you can guess and

56:52

then we can still be friends.

56:55

And she's like, dude, really?

56:55

And check

57:01

through this once and it didn't

57:04

take it's like, yeah, by

57:04

and leaves. And she thinks about

57:08

it. And she thinks about their

57:08

first encounter on the beach.

57:11

When he was telling her when

57:11

Jacob was telling Bella about

57:15

the cold ones. And she was like,

57:15

Wait, Jacob told me about some

57:19

other creatures. Wait, he told

57:19

me about werewolves is shakable

57:25

where?

57:28

Oh, my God. I'm so

57:28

surprised. Right? gasps

57:31

so Shachi goes back up

57:31

to to Jacob. And the whole pack.

57:36

I will mention it says like, I

57:36

know what you are. And I get it.

57:41

You're werewolf. I guessed. And

57:41

Jacob gets into a fight. And

57:46

then the rest of the pack is

57:46

like, well, she guessed All

57:51

right, I guess she said.

57:55

Well, there's nothing we

57:55

can do now.

57:57

Well, Jacob is in a

57:57

fight with another werewolf. So

58:01

Jay comes out of the fight that

58:01

he had with his friend because

58:04

he told Bella about the

58:04

werewolves. And he takes Bella

58:09

to the beach and they kind of

58:09

have a chat. And he's like,

58:13

we've been chasing after this

58:13

particular vampire. And she's

58:16

like, Oh, the one that you found

58:16

me with that day in the woods,

58:19

because now that I know that

58:19

your vampires are vampires cut,

58:22

dammit. Alright, Bella, tells

58:22

Jacob Hey, that vampire. You

58:27

found me in the woods that you

58:27

found me within the woods. Did

58:31

you kill him? And Jacob was

58:31

like, yeah, it's chill. We

58:33

totally killed him. It's fine.

58:33

You don't have to worry. And

58:37

she's like, awesome. Great. I

58:37

really didn't like that vampire.

58:41

And he's like, and Jacobs like,

58:41

Yeah, but we're still looking

58:44

for this other vampire we know

58:44

is around and she's like, Huh,

58:47

I'm really what do they look

58:47

like? And I think that Jacob

58:51

describes, describes her knees

58:51

like, and Bella's like, oh, no,

58:55

that's Victoria. Was

58:56

that the one that's gonna kill her?

58:58

Yes,

58:59

that visually. Got it.

58:59

Got it.

59:01

Yes. So, so. So, good friend.

59:09

Fantastic,

59:10

Jacob.

59:12

It's like we're hunting

59:12

this other vampire. And Bella's

59:15

like, Huh? What vampire and he

59:15

describes he's like, Oh, we

59:18

think that she is like red hair.

59:18

She looks like this. She looks

59:21

like that. And Bella's, like,

59:21

holy shit. I know that vampire.

59:25

I know her. And he's like,

59:25

really? Victoria, by the way,

59:32

she's been She's been like,

59:32

after me for months now. That's

59:37

what Lauren told me. Was that

59:37

like, she wanted to get those

59:40

deep thank boys. This neck.

59:40

Yeah. Shock. So, so. So uh,

59:52

Jacob is like, holy shit. Well,

59:52

this is perfect because like as

59:56

much as I don't like the fact

59:56

that a vampire is hunting you we

59:59

do kind of Get to use you as

59:59

bait like sort of. Like, while I

1:00:07

was reading this, I was

1:00:07

questioning, like, does Victoria

1:00:11

not know how to use a phonebook?

1:00:11

It's still like 2008 There's

1:00:16

still around, she could use a

1:00:16

phonebook and figure out where

1:00:19

Bella lives to just go to that

1:00:19

address. But that would make way

1:00:23

too much sense. So, so I'm

1:00:23

actually things kind of like,

1:00:30

remain in stasis sort of she

1:00:30

gets to know the rest of the

1:00:33

werewolves like and their

1:00:33

families I and it's like Bella's

1:00:40

just happy to have Jacob back in

1:00:40

her life. But unfortunately

1:00:45

Jacobs time a lot is to take

1:00:45

Jacob time is taken up with

1:00:48

being a werewolf or going off

1:00:48

and doing where won't be things

1:00:51

like you know, pack blood for

1:00:51

life. Yo. So like, Sam will be

1:00:59

like, we got to go find

1:00:59

Victoria. We heard she was over

1:01:02

there. Jacob like cool. Let's go

1:01:02

get her at that. I never catch

1:01:06

her. So then one day,

1:01:06

unfortunately, Jacob either gets

1:01:12

Jacob leaves a message for

1:01:12

Bella. Hey, I'm not gonna be

1:01:15

able to hang out today because

1:01:15

I've got to do some werewolf II

1:01:20

shit peace out. And she's really

1:01:20

upset disappointed because they

1:01:25

were going to go diving it's

1:01:25

like Bella could hear her

1:01:31

boyfriend again. You know that

1:01:31

boyfriend? That one so fellas

1:01:39

like, um, but I still need to

1:01:39

hear but I like actually still

1:01:43

need to hear his voice otherwise

1:01:43

this dark void inside me

1:01:45

screaming WAKE ME UP INSIDE

1:01:45

can't wake up will not shut up.

1:01:50

So she comes out she's like, but

1:01:50

then she's like, Hmm, the

1:01:54

weather is like really bad

1:01:54

today. And I'm alone. And no one

1:01:59

knows where I am. So just go

1:01:59

Cliff Diving by myself. You

1:02:05

know? So, she does the weather's

1:02:05

turning terrible. And she's

1:02:11

like, this is great. This is

1:02:11

fine. And she she like gets up

1:02:14

to the top of the cliff. She

1:02:14

starts hearing Edwards voice and

1:02:17

he's like, please don't do this.

1:02:17

Please fucking don't do this.

1:02:20

Even her subconscious is like

1:02:20

Oh, shit. And Bella's like nom

1:02:26

definitely gonna do it and she jumped

1:02:27

jumped big

1:02:30

jumps and hits the water

1:02:30

real hard. Nearly drowns nearly

1:02:35

die. Yes. But while she's out

1:02:35

there flailing and you know

1:02:39

being dramatic underwater, she

1:02:39

sees like a like a flash of red.

1:02:44

And then really just black.

1:02:46

Just keep going just keep going.

1:02:49

So she wakes up on the

1:02:49

beach because ducted up wave red

1:02:53

be Jacob showed up and saved her

1:02:53

and pulled her out of the water.

1:02:57

So she's fine. Really got water

1:02:57

in her lungs. She probably still

1:03:01

should have gone to the hospital. But you know what, this is Bella Swan. She is She

1:03:03

she went to the hospital every

1:03:05

time she needed to go to the

1:03:05

hospital. Her deductible would

1:03:08

be filled up by like February.

1:03:08

So Jacob takes her home and as

1:03:14

he's driving home, she looks at

1:03:14

at she sees in her driveway. I

1:03:20

just got really excited. You

1:03:20

know, daddy, vampire rich daddy

1:03:25

vampire, who I would be very

1:03:25

excited to to speak to I want a

1:03:29

billionaire on my driveway.

1:03:29

Except well. No, actually, I

1:03:33

don't anyway. So Jacob was like,

1:03:33

I'm not letting you out. I smell

1:03:38

vampire. She's like, but this

1:03:38

vampire is cool. I promise.

1:03:41

Like, let me out. Let me out.

1:03:41

Let me out of the car, please.

1:03:44

Yeah,

1:03:45

she has a huge history

1:03:45

of it being fine.

1:03:47

So Jacobs, like alright,

1:03:47

I guess we aren't friends

1:03:50

anymore. See ya. And she hops

1:03:50

out of the car and goes inside

1:03:54

her house. And it's Alice, who's

1:03:54

there? Oh,

1:03:58

I like Alice. I know her

1:03:58

name. I like and

1:04:02

Bella is so happy to see

1:04:02

Alice. She's like Alice is like,

1:04:10

hey, quick question. How are you

1:04:10

alive? Like, what do you be? Oh,

1:04:17

shit to you. It looks like I

1:04:17

jumped off a cliff.

1:04:23

You know, what they say

1:04:23

about assumptions? Right?

1:04:26

It's fine. To see the

1:04:26

future.

1:04:29

It's not assumptions.

1:04:29

It's about telepathy, but that's

1:04:34

not the right

1:04:34

word. And so Bella, so

1:04:34

Alice was like, I'm sorry, I

1:04:41

really was not trying to watch

1:04:41

you. But then I just got this

1:04:44

vision of you jumping. And I was

1:04:44

like, fuck. So I came home to

1:04:50

came back to forks to at least

1:04:50

like help out Charlie. And

1:04:56

Bella's like, oh, sorry. No, I

1:04:56

jumped off a cliff because it

1:04:58

was for fun as well. So I was

1:04:58

Bella actually is on in in the

1:05:04

house alone for a little bit

1:05:04

because unfortunately, Charlie,

1:05:07

her dad's best friend died of a

1:05:07

heart attack. So Charlie's I

1:05:12

hate this part of the book.

1:05:12

Charlie's at like at the

1:05:15

hospital or like doing funeral

1:05:15

arrangement, kind of

1:05:17

so it's gonna ask where

1:05:17

human Daddy was like,

1:05:21

so you can stay it's

1:05:21

fine Charlie won't mind Charlie

1:05:24

loves you like it's chill,

1:05:24

please stay for a couple days

1:05:27

analysis like okay, I guess I

1:05:27

can just stay for a couple days

1:05:30

and like see how you're doing

1:05:30

what life is like. And Charlie

1:05:35

goes back to funeral planning

1:05:35

things. And Bella and Alice like

1:05:40

talk they catch up and all that,

1:05:40

and Jacob shows up at the house.

1:05:44

So, um, a phone call is the

1:05:44

phone rings. And Jacob actually

1:05:51

answers that and says, No, he's

1:05:51

at the funeral. And Bella was

1:05:58

like, Who was that? And and then

1:05:58

Alice comes running into the

1:06:02

room but it's like, oh, no, oh,

1:06:02

no. Oh, no OSHA, OSHA, OSHA. And

1:06:05

she was like Bella's, like, who

1:06:05

was on the phone Jacob and Bella

1:06:08

finds out it was Edward asking

1:06:08

where Charlie was he? And

1:06:15

Charlie answered with at the

1:06:15

funeral. Turns out his other

1:06:19

sister Rosalie had called up

1:06:19

Edward and said, hey, guess

1:06:23

what? Bella's dead

1:06:24

communication is

1:06:24

honestly so important in a

1:06:27

relationship.

1:06:29

Which is why there's

1:06:29

none of it. Right? So now Alice

1:06:35

comes in the room and it's like,

1:06:35

Hey, uh, so Edward thinks you're

1:06:39

dead. And he's gonna have some

1:06:39

people kill him. Basically, he's

1:06:43

gonna commit try to commit suicide?

1:06:45

Holy escalation Batman.

1:06:49

Bad. Batman can

1:06:56

go home. Okay,

1:06:56

nevermind, it's fine.

1:07:02

So they Alice and Bella,

1:07:02

hop on a plane from Seattle, or

1:07:09

from forks or wherever the

1:07:09

closest airport is, and fly all

1:07:12

the way over to Italy. And so So

1:07:12

I think I think he was in I

1:07:21

don't know, I honestly don't

1:07:21

know. Um, yeah, plot plot, it's

1:07:25

fine. So they they get to Italy,

1:07:25

they go to I don't remember what

1:07:29

city it is. It's like a really

1:07:29

small city. He is actually

1:07:32

planning on stepping into the

1:07:32

sun during the festival at noon,

1:07:37

to get the most people to look

1:07:37

at him. And because the Volturi

1:07:41

who are like this evil vampire,

1:07:41

like Colt from 1000s, upon 1000s

1:07:46

of years, basically a live in

1:07:46

Italy. They don't like people

1:07:52

bringing attention to them,

1:07:52

obviously. So they think so he

1:07:56

thinks that if he causes enough

1:07:56

attention to be drawn to them in

1:08:00

their own city, that they'll

1:08:00

kill him as a punishment. They

1:08:03

they arrive in Italy, there's

1:08:03

this really dramatic scene where

1:08:08

they are trying desperately to

1:08:08

drive into the center of the

1:08:11

city as fast as possible,

1:08:11

because they know that I was

1:08:13

going to step out into the sun

1:08:13

at noon. So it's like, you know,

1:08:16

the drama of being in the car

1:08:16

like swerving around

1:08:19

mountainsides and all that

1:08:19

trying to get to Edward

1:08:22

eventually Bella just leaps out

1:08:22

of the car, runs into the city

1:08:26

center sees Edward under like

1:08:26

this big. I think it's like an

1:08:29

arch or something in the movie.

1:08:29

It's an arch. I don't remember

1:08:31

what it is in the book. And he's

1:08:31

about to step into the sun as

1:08:35

she leaps into his arms. And he

1:08:35

thinks that he's dead, because

1:08:40

he's like, Oh, wow, like did it

1:08:40

really really fast? This is

1:08:42

great. Like, I'm with Bella,

1:08:42

obviously a dead because she's

1:08:45

dead. And this is great. This is

1:08:45

awesome. Hey, what's going on? I

1:08:49

missed you so much. And she's

1:08:49

like, No, we're not dead. The

1:08:52

Volturi are gonna come and kill

1:08:52

us though if you don't hurry up.

1:08:55

And he's like, my girlie did it

1:08:55

Oh shit, other vampires.

1:09:00

Okay, I have new goals

1:09:00

on how extra I want to be in my

1:09:04

entire life. I want to be i was

1:09:04

i My lover died. And so I'm

1:09:10

going to murder mice or cause

1:09:10

someone else to murder me by

1:09:14

exposing myself to the world.

1:09:14

All in a span of like three

1:09:19

hours. Sorry. Well, it takes

1:09:19

time to get to Italy.

1:09:23

So the other vampires I

1:09:23

don't remember. They're like

1:09:25

part of the evil coal. They're

1:09:25

like, Yo, looks like you were

1:09:28

about to do something really

1:09:28

status. So we should go and talk

1:09:34

to our superiors and that he's

1:09:34

an Edward like, Yeah, sure.

1:09:37

That's fine. Um, Bella, go back

1:09:37

out into the city and Bella's

1:09:40

like, Nah, I'm not leaving you

1:09:40

again. You're stuck with me. And

1:09:43

so that she goes into the

1:09:43

underground evil vampire city.

1:09:47

Oh, my God. Yeah, the

1:09:47

Vatican isn't vampires, isn't

1:09:53

it?

1:09:54

It's the it's the vamp.

1:09:54

That's exactly what it is. It's

1:09:57

the vampire Vatican. The

1:09:57

Vampires is In this elite

1:10:00

vampire murderous group decide

1:10:00

hey Bella is interesting so we

1:10:05

can either kill her now make her

1:10:05

a vampire now or Edward like

1:10:12

later it's chill

1:10:14

okay those are the only

1:10:14

options your only options are

1:10:18

make her a vampire nor doubt

1:10:20

is like so like later

1:10:20

his shell they're like later

1:10:25

show that it was like all

1:10:25

encourage vampire later it's so

1:10:28

they all leave and so and

1:10:28

there's this really like weird

1:10:39

Limbo reunion state between

1:10:39

Edward and Bella where Bella is

1:10:44

so happy to see him and Edward

1:10:44

is seemingly happy to see her

1:10:49

but Bella is like I know he must

1:10:49

not really be happy to see me

1:10:54

because he broke up with because

1:10:54

true love so they fly back to

1:11:04

forks and all up. Do you get did

1:11:04

you guys think about that? Just

1:11:09

making sure um, they fly back to

1:11:09

forks the colon family meets

1:11:13

them in Forks at the airport.

1:11:13

They take her they take Bella

1:11:18

back home and Bella like

1:11:18

collapses because she has been

1:11:23

awake for like almost 72 hours

1:11:23

because she is not wanting to be

1:11:27

asleep because she was too

1:11:27

stressed in the flight over to

1:11:31

Italy to sleep. But she didn't

1:11:31

want to be away from Edward in

1:11:35

the flight back from Italy so

1:11:35

she works. So she didn't go to

1:11:42

sleep on the way back from Italy

1:11:42

because she didn't want to be

1:11:45

like asleep in our time with

1:11:45

Edward so she wakes up back in

1:11:48

her bed in for Ambien and Edward

1:11:48

and Edward is

1:11:52

there. This is all an

1:11:52

Ambien commercial. That's what

1:11:55

it is. Exactly It

1:11:56

is it's fine. It's fine.

1:11:56

And Edward explains to Bella

1:12:00

look, I was going to kill myself

1:12:00

because I thought that you had

1:12:05

killed yourself. And Bella says,

1:12:05

Look, Edward, you cannot kill

1:12:10

yourself because he thought that

1:12:10

I killed yourself. You cannot

1:12:14

like guilt dictate your life.

1:12:14

And Edward is like you thought

1:12:18

that it was guilt that caused me

1:12:18

to kill myself and she's like I

1:12:21

know it is because you told me

1:12:21

you didn't love me and Rachel,

1:12:30

and Edward is like I do love

1:12:30

you. I have always loved you.

1:12:35

The only reason I tried to kill

1:12:35

myself is because I thought you

1:12:39

were dead.

1:12:41

Okay, you know? Fuck all

1:12:41

the goddamn land race car

1:12:47

bullshit. No zero to 60 fastest

1:12:47

land speed records this goddamn

1:12:52

fucking book. I left you for six

1:12:52

months and then I thought you

1:12:57

killed yourself. So I'm just

1:12:57

gonna go to Italy real quick and

1:12:59

step into the sun. It's fine.

1:13:05

That's like zero to 90

1:13:05

in six months. So

1:13:10

between him finding out

1:13:12

that she maybe possibly

1:13:14

killed herself to dying

1:13:14

true is a plane ride.

1:13:18

I would actually argue

1:13:18

with Rachael in the he could

1:13:23

have at least checked the death

1:13:23

certificate. He could have

1:13:26

called he did he did call and

1:13:26

Jacob answered the phone and

1:13:31

said Charlie is at the funeral

1:13:34

he asked for so for

1:13:34

zero to 60 in literature, Romeo

1:13:39

and Juliet. She was alive and he

1:13:39

woke up and was like, Oh my God,

1:13:44

she's not breathing for point

1:13:44

two seconds. Let me kill myself

1:13:47

there. I mean, that whole story is

1:13:47

jacked up, but at least there

1:13:50

was a bit of tangible evidence.

1:13:50

They're not just some random

1:13:54

person answering the phone

1:13:54

because he said a funeral.

1:13:57

He knows that Jacob is a

1:13:57

werewolf but he doesn't trust

1:14:00

wearables implicitly. Why would

1:14:00

he just

1:14:03

an author knows that

1:14:03

Jacob is Bella's friend and he

1:14:06

wouldn't be at said funeral wise. Mind and Alex is spider monkey.

1:14:12

Going to spiral. Okay,

1:14:12

okay. Okay.

1:14:15

Okay, but I can answer

1:14:15

all these quite up most of the

1:14:17

questions. Jake is at her house

1:14:17

because he was worried about

1:14:21

Bella after her almost drowning

1:14:21

and also she's hanging out with

1:14:26

the vampire. He's really close

1:14:26

friends with the swan family.

1:14:31

And when I say that, I mean,

1:14:31

Charlie. So he felt like he

1:14:34

could answer the phone. Like

1:14:34

you're comfortable answering the

1:14:39

phone. And you know, he was

1:14:39

honest about his answer. He said

1:14:45

he's at the funeral. Where's

1:14:45

Charlie? He's at the funeral.

1:14:50

It's not dishonest.

1:14:51

Yes, but but but let's

1:14:51

say someone who has you have not

1:14:55

seen in six months calls and

1:14:55

asks for someone and they happen

1:14:59

to be at a funeral. You don't

1:14:59

say they're at the funeral

1:15:02

because this person that hasn't

1:15:02

been around for six months has

1:15:04

no goddamn ID which funeral

1:15:04

allowance but

1:15:08

I will say this also

1:15:08

Edward does not your follow up,

1:15:11

Edward as Hi, can I speak to

1:15:11

Charlie, can I speak to Charlie?

1:15:15

Or can I speak to Charlie Swan?

1:15:15

And Jacob says he's not here.

1:15:21

And Edward asks, Where is he and

1:15:21

Jacob says at the funeral?

1:15:25

Okay, so I agree that

1:15:25

he should not have said at the

1:15:28

funerals at his friend's

1:15:28

funeral. That's what a normal

1:15:30

human would say. It said, even

1:15:30

if he had said he's at a

1:15:35

funeral, given the state of mind

1:15:35

that Edward is in and knowing

1:15:40

what Alice had seen, he would

1:15:40

have assumed it was Bella so I

1:15:43

think it would be the same

1:15:43

situation. My question is he can

1:15:46

read Alice's mind Alice's with

1:15:46

Bella. Well, whoa, hold

1:15:50

on, though. He can't he

1:15:50

can't read Alice's mind from

1:15:53

that far away. Okay. He can I

1:15:53

read mine from that far away.

1:15:57

Also, I want to speak to smiler

1:15:57

and say, I think it was clever

1:16:02

writing on her part. You know,

1:16:02

it was just her trying to be

1:16:06

collected

1:16:07

already in Italy at this

1:16:07

point? No,

1:16:10

he's not nearly I think

1:16:10

he's in South Africa. What? No,

1:16:13

he's not in South Africa. He's

1:16:13

in Africa. He's so

1:16:18

Africa seems like a

1:16:18

terrible place for a vampire to

1:16:21

be.

1:16:23

Alright, so Okay.

1:16:23

Edward, and Bella wakes up and

1:16:28

tells Edward Hey, you can't kill

1:16:28

yourself just because you feel

1:16:32

guilty about the fact that I

1:16:32

asked myself and he's like, No,

1:16:36

I still love you. And she's

1:16:36

like, for real? And he's like

1:16:40

for rail. Okay, cool. And then

1:16:40

Bella is like, Okay, but what

1:16:45

were you doing for the past?

1:16:45

Like, however many months cuz I

1:16:49

think it's been, it's been a

1:16:49

real long time. And Edwards

1:16:54

like, Oh, I was trying to track

1:16:54

this other vampire. And she

1:16:57

Bella's, like, who? And he's

1:16:57

like, Victoria. And she's like,

1:17:01

thing they

1:17:01

thing? I know where

1:17:01

that bitches. She's here.

1:17:06

I give up. I give up.

1:17:06

Just finish it. I don't just end

1:17:11

it. Out of my

1:17:13

really bad tracker.

1:17:13

Yeah.

1:17:16

He mentioned that

1:17:16

Edwards like, I am really bad at

1:17:19

tracking. So I thought

1:17:23

she was in Africa. She

1:17:23

was in Washington.

1:17:29

She was in like South

1:17:29

America for Africa. It's not but

1:17:36

the reason why I thought Africa

1:17:36

is because Rosalie and Emmett

1:17:40

went to South Africa for their

1:17:40

like six honeymoon. So that's

1:17:44

where this work, and I

1:17:44

apologize, so that's pretty much

1:17:50

it. Like there's two more books. No,

1:17:59

there's

1:18:06

no, there's only one of

1:18:06

the original trilogy.

1:18:10

Edward and Bella

1:18:12

trilogy. No, it wasn't

1:18:12

a trilogy.

1:18:14

It was a quartet anyway.

1:18:14

Yeah. Edward and Bella are like,

1:18:19

we're gonna be together forever.

1:18:19

It's chill. It's fine. And the

1:18:22

Jacob's like, but we can't be

1:18:22

friends anymore. Like cuz you're

1:18:28

hanging with a vampire. So oh,

1:18:28

what? Yeah. Yeah, so that's how

1:18:37

that book and yeah, you guys

1:18:37

understand

1:18:40

why I was so enthralled

1:18:40

in love this series so much.

1:18:44

No, no, I told this. I

1:18:44

told this story really poorly.

1:18:49

And I know

1:18:52

you did. What you were

1:18:52

given.

1:18:56

Yeah. So. Okay, so I'm

1:18:56

gonna rate Bella at.

1:19:01

Yeah, let's roll through

1:19:01

the ratings real quick. No, I

1:19:04

think that most of our discussions

1:19:07

Edward doesn't exist. So

1:19:07

he's a one. Jacob is a two

1:19:11

because

1:19:12

he's there. Actually in

1:19:12

this book. He

1:19:15

said three Jacob higher

1:19:15

Yeah, he's higher. I will give

1:19:19

him a three because he's like

1:19:19

actually a good friend Bella,

1:19:22

especially in the beginning of

1:19:22

the book, the overall book Ginza

1:19:25

to

1:19:28

Tiffany Do you contest

1:19:30

facts?

1:19:31

I mean, no, I can't

1:19:31

because it is a ship book. But I

1:19:36

love it dearly. So if I had to

1:19:36

give a personal rating this one

1:19:40

the overall is out of five

1:19:40

right? Yes. I would give this

1:19:44

one personally a three because

1:19:44

Edwards missing for most of it

1:19:48

and I am Edward. But no, I agree

1:19:48

with her to two because this

1:19:53

well,

1:19:53

so I'm sorry. So So

1:19:53

rating wise we do two main

1:19:58

characters sex and plot. One out

1:19:58

of five and then overall is one

1:20:02

at a 10

1:20:04

Okay overall I would

1:20:04

give this book four because

1:20:10

Edwards missing the whole Are you literally held up four

1:20:17

fingers at the same time Tiffany

1:20:20

said four That was perfect. This

1:20:20

book is

1:20:24

bad, really bad okay.

1:20:30

And you know for someone

1:20:30

who

1:20:35

read this book I'm just

1:20:35

I read this book I will say this

1:20:43

and I'm really i i When I read

1:20:43

this book I felt for Jacobs

1:20:50

character. And they don't just

1:20:50

mean fell. I mean, I was like, I

1:20:58

really liked him. I was I like,

1:20:58

I would have liked to have him

1:21:04

as my own friend or even

1:21:04

boyfriend so I get the whole

1:21:07

like people you know shipping

1:21:07

themselves we

1:21:10

have a Team Jacob and

1:21:10

his team word.

1:21:14

I don't know if I'm Team

1:21:14

Jacob or T BAP word I don't know

1:21:18

All right, I could be I know I'm

1:21:18

really just team like I'd rather

1:21:26

be human.

1:21:29

Team resume all of us

1:21:29

here are team resume.

1:21:33

No. Rotation either. So

1:21:33

I like I felt for Jacob but I

1:21:49

think he gets worse in following

1:21:49

books because he feels like he

1:21:53

has sores some sort of claim of

1:21:53

her Bella. Yeah, I do feel also

1:21:58

like Bella isn't that

1:21:58

interesting of a character

1:22:02

although I feel for her.

1:22:05

I agree with that Bella

1:22:05

is written in such a way that no

1:22:10

matter who you are, you can put

1:22:10

yourself in her shoes because

1:22:13

she is such a bland character

1:22:13

and because I read her at such a

1:22:16

crucial point in my life. I want

1:22:16

her to end up on top but God

1:22:21

she's not a good you know,

1:22:22

I sympathize with her.

1:22:22

Yeah, it's really it you really

1:22:25

sympathize with her.

1:22:27

I really want a vampire

1:22:27

boyfriend.

1:22:31

I think we all at that

1:22:31

age especially want someone to

1:22:35

be obsessed with us. You know we

1:22:35

want someone to feel we want to

1:22:40

feel special we want to feel yes

1:22:40

or at least I need to feel

1:22:44

special.

1:22:45

So we'll go into this

1:22:45

probably a little bit more and

1:22:48

under the covers based on what

1:22:48

we're going to talk about and

1:22:51

under the covers but I was not

1:22:51

in that headspace. I did not

1:22:56

want that. I was the outlier I

1:22:56

feel

1:23:00

I want even to this

1:23:00

day. I want somebody that is

1:23:03

constantly thinking of me 24/7

1:23:03

And like their world revolves

1:23:08

around how much they love me and

1:23:08

my husband does not necessarily

1:23:12

comply with that as much as it

1:23:12

pisses me off

1:23:14

that would get on my

1:23:14

nerves so

1:23:17

much same

1:23:19

I need an independent

1:23:19

human

1:23:22

I don't know what I want.

1:23:24

MARGIE I will be

1:23:24

whatever you need me to be what

1:23:27

she's saying is she'll change

1:23:27

for you. I will I am that

1:23:30

person. I will do the thing I

1:23:30

shouldn't do.

1:23:33

Hey, let's wrap this

1:23:33

shit up. Do you guys want to

1:23:36

plug your plug will plug cables

1:23:36

again overall okay, well what we

1:23:39

said what three out of 10 four,

1:23:39

I think is what they blacked out

1:23:43

during that part. I'm still

1:23:43

trying to figure out what the

1:23:46

plot of this book was there was

1:23:46

there okay, the plot and we all

1:23:50

failed. Hey, y'all like your
