• 2:02
  Speaker 3: definitely need to go one of those classic cars for
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: my guess share, because I don't want to get one
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: because those things are pain in the ass. I hate
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: how like, uh yeah, it's supposed to like protect your
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: carpet and keep your rolling desk chair from like carrying
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: up the carpet, and I probably need to do that
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: because I don't want to damage this carpet. That the
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: same time, I don't want to do it because I've
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: used those before. They're not very big and you can't
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: really move very much with your like you can't really
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: move around very much with your desk chair, like even
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: just moving back and forth and like cause the wheels
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to like go over the edge and get stuck there,
• 2:39

• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So basically what we're going to do is with the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Patreon description downscription below. I've been talking about the Patreon
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: for probably about a month now. A by the time
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: this gets released, the video portion of that will be released,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of course the same time as the non no ads
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: version of the episode on podcast audio. And then of course, yeah,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I think we should probably release I don't know, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: don't know. I'm just I don't know yet. I haven't
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: decided if I want to release it a month after
• 4:39

• 8:52
  Speaker 3: So god, so good. I love it so much. We
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: are reviewing Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dennerman love all right.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I tell you guys, I kept hearing about Dungeon Crawler
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Carl on on book talk. I was seeing I was
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: seeing all these book recommendations, and one that kept popping
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: up was Dungeon Crawler Carl. And when I first saw it,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I was like that, like, it looks kind of weird,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: like seems very random. But then I read I read
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: like a description on it and based and when I
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: read the description, I was just like this this that's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I'm intrigued.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: And then Jacob was telling me about it, and I'm like, oh,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: listen to the audiobook sure, and I'm like.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, uh huh.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: So Dungeon Crawler Carl is from a recently more popularized genre,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and that is lit RPG, So literary RPG. So it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: very It's the style of writing the story is very
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: similar to like like reading something like a table at RPG,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: a tabletop RP. All right, so just give you an idea. Uh.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: The The book centers around a guy named Carl and
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: his and his uh Persian cat named Princess Donut love
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Princess Don't love her now? What basically takes place in
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: a sort of post apocalyptic Earth. So one day Carl
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: is with the regular guy. He was just he had
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: just literally just broken up with his girlfriend who cheated
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: on him, and he was making plans to move on
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: with his life and and literally just right after his breakup,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the world literally the world collapses, so like everything just collapses,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and everybody inside, anybody who was inside the like any
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: standing structure just gets.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Flattened, crushed.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Carl rushed. Carl was lucky enough to be outside chasing
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: down his his ex girlfriend's cat who had gotten out.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: And when this happened, he just grabbed the cat and
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: was just turning around to go back inside to his
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: apartment when all the buildings in Seattle, in Seattle just
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: completely just drops down into the ground. There's no rubble,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: there's no destructive like explosions, just everything just goes straight down. Yeah,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and and everywhere in the world an announcement like this announcer,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: they can hear the voice of an announcer telling them
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: that that Earth has been shows them for the new
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: season of the Dungeon Crawl. All right, So it's an
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: intergalactic reality TV show, all right, Like literally like it
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: there there is a show that every season there is
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: a new a new planet is selected, and that the
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: criteria for the planets are usually planets that have not
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: yet expanded out into the gall into the universe, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: these planets were pre seeded with life long, long time
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: ago by an ancient now extinct race, and inside the
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: planet there's there's like a special material that helped propagate
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: the help propagate life on the planet, and the Galactic
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: community minds uh comes to the planet and harvests this material.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: The thing is is that as part of the harvesting,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: they basically completely clear out the population on the planet.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: And instead of just instead of just killing everybody outright
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: and taking the resources, they decided to make a game
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: out of it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: So every season, there's before we go any further.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Uh, so, we're gonna kind of change the structure of
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: book Watters a little bit, kind of make it a
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: little more what's the word organized organized? Yeah, that was
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the word we're going to organized. So before going further,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of course, the series is written by Matt Dinniman.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Dem I was gonna look to that. Oh you're want
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: to get to okay, Yeah, I just wanted to give
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: like this, just give the basic synopsis first and then
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: we were going to go into the production and then
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: get into the story. That's that's what's.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Gonna Okay, I'll cut that part out.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Continue. Yeah, So every season, the Glas community schedules a
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: different kind of crawl. The series itself is basically just
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: called a crawl. And whether it's a dungeon crawl or
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: like some like world like based planet size like competition,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: it's always it's always in the style of some form
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: of game show. Right. In this case, Earth has been
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: chosen for a literal dungeon crawl. So every structure in
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: the planet, all the building materials on the planet was
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: collapsed and repurposed for the dungeon that was built beneath
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the surface of the planet, and any surviving human so
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: any person that was lucky enough to be outside of
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: their buildings, they are given the chance. They're given the
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: opportunity to enter the dungeon and compete in the dungeon crawl,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: or just stay on the surface and just live out
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: their life. They're based. They been forced to. They've been
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: regressed back to a pre industrial state now, so all
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: like building materials, everything that they had is now gone.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: They're basically starting over. So it's either like survive on
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the surface of the planet in a pre industrial state.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: You're basically returning back to like time before like electricity,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: you know, before we had like any of these more
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: advanced tools and like technology or you can or you
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: can go down into the dungeon and take uh and
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: take and like take part in their level based game.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: All right, So before we go into the full plot
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: with the full story with Karl and his ex girlfriend's
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Persian cat, uh, we're gonn talking about We're just gonna
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: talk a little bit about the development of the story. Uh.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna we're gonna actually like do some things
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit different now because mainly we've just talked
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: about the stories. And of course, uh, of course we
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: we give major kudos to the author. So of course
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: the author of this series is called his name is
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Matt Dinneman. And this time we're actually gonna be going
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: into a bit more of production, like his what inspired
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: him to write the book, the author to write the book,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: production value, like how well it was received, and just
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: like some little fun facts about the story and how
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: it was received by the public. So Dungeon Crawler Carl,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: of course is lit RPG. So it's literary RPG has
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: become very very popular thanks thanks to like things like
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: book talk other social media. All right, it's really popular,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: and it's also because of how popular Dungeons and Dragons
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: has become so more and more people, more and more
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: authors are writing stories based off of like RPGs, like
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: role playing style fantasy style stories. Denneman himself was also
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: inspired in a similar way, so Matt Deniman. He actually
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: began start. He began writing Dungeon Crawler Carl back in
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, and Dungeon Crawler Carl was originally published as
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: an e book was published online as an ebook in
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty. So this series is about five years old.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: There are now seven books in the series. And it
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: wasn't until recently, more recently in about let me see here,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: when did he sign his publication?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, when he started ACE. That was back in twenty
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: twenty four.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So originally Denniman began published was more was self
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: published and he started and he started publishing through a
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: company called Royal a publisher called Royal Road in twenty twenty.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: That's when he first started publishing Dungeon Crawler Carl. So
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: it was where it was originally published. It was published
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: as an e book, and it wasn't until last year
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: that hardcover books were being published like in retails like Barnes, Noble, Amazon.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: It was in twenty twenty that he published. He self
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: published the series on Amazon and an ebook and paperback format,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: so it was just like so the series was like
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: definitely one of those like more like kind of indie.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: This was definitely more of an indie book at the time.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: But it has since like launched itself into popularity all right,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: since its publication, it's sold over. I just had the
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: number here, excuse me, so, so far since its publication,
• 17:38

• 19:47
  Speaker 2: who did I think Power Rangers. Yes, they did the
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Power Rangers tabletop RPG, which I love. In one of
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: these days I will do on the pod later on
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: between D and D games. But yeah, so they're making
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: a tabletop RPG of setting in the same universe, and
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I can't wait for that because I want that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Give me, give me. I want to make an AI
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: an absurd ai. Oh my god.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: And speaking of AI's all right, let me tell you something.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: We're gonna go ahead and go back to the story.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Start going back into the story. When it for each
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: dungeon crawl, the Galactic Syndicate sets up an AI to
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: basically run the entire crawl, right, So it's in charge
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: of making sure the rules are followed. It's in charge
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: of setting up the mobs, all right. The mobs are
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: the are like the monsters, like the the non player
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: character bad guys that they have to that the crawlers
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: have to fight and pill and survive against. And you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: it sets the rules. It controls the shape and form
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: of the dungeon. All right. It's set it'll set traps,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: it'll create like its own little events in the and
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: quests in the in the dungeon all right, it's designs,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: its purpose is to like make it as entertaining as possible.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: The problem with this AI, though, is that the deeper
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: into the dungeon you go, so like typically they's dungeons
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: have eighteen floors, and now so far in the entire
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: so far in the entire run of the dungeon crawl,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: that no one has ever made it to floor eighteen.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: The furthest anyone has ever gotten, and it's later revealed
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: in the story is like floor twelve or thirteen. It's
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: one of those two floors. By that point, usually the
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: surviving crawlers have all died or by that point the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: syndicate syndicate sponsors will begin to like make uh give
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: out contracts to certain like popular dungeon crawlers, so if
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: they want to, if they reach it, they'll reach a
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: certain point where it's like, yeah, we're pretty much all dead.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: They're pretty much all dead, and the and the story
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: is in to go on isn't going to go on
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: any further than this. So the surviving crawlers are given
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: the choice to can either try to continue through the
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: next floor and risk their inh with like the high
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: possibility of dying, or they can take a contract, they
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: can take like a sponsorship get out of the dungeon
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: early and basically enter in as sort of like indentureship.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: So they'll continue to be in future dungeon crawls, but
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: the crawlers will be acting as like non player characters,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: so like either tutorial guides like store like shop keepers,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: other like story guides, or guild or like guild masters
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: or even like in some in some cases, like there's
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: like there's like some characters that give out prizes, and
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: like if if a dungeon crawler is rewarded like a
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: special loop box and it gives them like an option
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: to choose from like a kind of like a pinball
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: machine style like game ward, then that then that former
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: crawler will just be the person that like oversees that
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: and gives out the prize. And and that's another thing
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: about the and that is also another thing about the
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: dungeon crawl is that it's it's a very like it
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: takes place. It takes like uh like RPG style gameplay
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: mixed with like chat based gaming. So like if you're
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: an online if you're like a PC gamer. You know
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of like RP online RPGs have like the
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: little chat that you commune that you talk with your
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: other players with. So like that chat based system is
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: a similar chat based system exists in Dungeon Crawler. In
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: the Dungeon Crawl, it's level based so as so you
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: like the players are actually leveling up as they go.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: As they go on, they earn experience, they go up levels,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: they can choose classes, they can actually choose races, like
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: different non human races. They can and they can be transformed.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: And then also there's a reward style system at like
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: achievement based reward style system that is given Dungeon to
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: give into crawlers for like different for like different things
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: they do in the dungeon. So for example, Carl uh
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: after after the collapse, and Carl decides to answer the dungeon,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Oh did I lose you?
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: So when so after the collapse, Carl makes the decision
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: to go ahead and answer the dungeon. The thing is like,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the thing is that when Carl chased Princess Chase, his
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: ex girlfriend's cat, Princess Donut, Princess Donuts name it's like, uh,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: hold on, let me, let me pull up her full name.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: This cat has a full name. Okay, it's not just
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Princess Donut.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Hold on, it's not. She has a full name like
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: my cat does.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Yep. So Princess donuts full name is g C B
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: W A n W. Princess Donut, the Queen Anne Schank.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: That is her government name. I usually just most of
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: the characters in this story in this story referred to
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: her as Donut or Princess Donut. Occasionally she just introduces
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: herself as Princess Donut the Queen Ane Schank. But whenever,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: but sometimes when she's being extra she'll go for her
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: full government name. And yes, you must be wondering, wait,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: how does a cat introduced herself. We're gonna get to that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: So we will get to that, because when she answers
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: the dungeon, she's it's a normal house cat. She is
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: a tortoises bell Persian cat. Love that lovers like, so full,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: squash faced cat, all right, really mischievous and like any cat,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: an asshole. You're right, So, so what happens so basically,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: like what happened leading up to the dungeon crawl, Carl
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: had broken up with his girlfriend. He saw she had
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: taken a vacation to the Bahamas without him, and he
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: saw on a post on social media with her and
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: her ex boyfriend, clearly they had taken the trip together. Carl,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: not wanting to deal with bullshit, breaks up with her
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: immediately and starts making plans to move out of their apartment.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: He's since Donut doesn't belong to him, he has to
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: figure out something to get like the cat taken care of.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: While he's figuring these things out, he's just in his apartment.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: You know, he's just at home. He's he's just at home.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: You're at home. What do you like, What are you
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: gonna do? Just sit around? Just sit around playing games
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: in your underwear? And that's what he was. Then that's
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: what he's doing. Hey, all right, that's that post. That's
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: that post. Break of mentality, my guy, all right, he
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: made some miss The thing is like, it's it's winter
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: in Seattle, so it's freezing cold outside, all right, and
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: he makes a mistake of leaving the window open and
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Donut escapes, so so he's forced to throw on a
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: jacket and his and since he has no nothing else
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: to wear, he didn't have anything else to quickly throw
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: on for footwear. He ends up throwing on his his
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: ex's Hello Kitty Crocks Yeah, and runs outside to chase
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: down donut. He manages to get donut, and this attracts
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: the attention of one of his neighbors, who sticks her
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: head out her window to like ask him what's going on?
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: And this was pretty a gruesome scene because just as
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: he turns to response her after pick after grabbing donut, wow, wow,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: all the buildings yep, because she was sticking her head
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: out the window. When the buildings all collapse instant decapitation.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Carlo's shocks. He's he there? So there he was standing
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: on the side on the sidewalk of Seattle. Every building
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: in the city has completely just flattened, all right, no
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: rubble there. He was in just a jacket, a wife beater,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: some some heart boxer shorts and Hello Kitty Crocks. This
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: man was literally not prepared for the Dungeon Crawl, right,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: He was not prepared to be outside in this cold weather,
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: was all right?
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Then he gets Then he hears the announcement from the
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: announcement that the the new season of the Crawl has
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: begun and that all around the world entrance the stairways
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: have opened up leading.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Down into the dungeon. All right, the announcer, get the
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: announcer who is a representative of a of a fish
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: like race called the quats In. All right, or wait,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: what do they call again? Let's see the uh so
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: does they have a yeah, quats In that's what they're called.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: So the crawl. So every year, every year the dungeon
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: crawl is uh the crawl is sponsored by like a
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: different race, so like they're they're in charge of it,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: and depending on the race, they may do like something different.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: So the quats In typically do dungeon crawls. So quats
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: In are basically like fish people. Yeah, think like the
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: SpongeBob fishes. You know, they're fish people that send on
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: two feet. Yeah, you think about you if you if
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: you want like a good image, just think of that. Honestly,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: just think of that, or think of that one goldfish
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: from picking little you know, if you listen, if you
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: if you want like an image, just think of these
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: really ridiculous things, because honestly, the quats in are not
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: really they're not anything like special. They're just fish people.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: But they're they're spot they're the ones who sponsor the
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: who are hosting the Dungeon Crawl. So they've taken over Earth,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: create and built the Dungeon and uh that like deep
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: beneath the surface of the planet. All right. Then the
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: announcer tells any survivors of Earth that they have a
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: chance to face to win the planet back the Dungeon Crawl. Like,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: if you win the Dungeon Crawl, you have a chance
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: to basically just get your whole planet back, and they'll
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: basically put everything back into order, like rebuild everything, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: they'll leave, they'll leave you alone. But you have to
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: get through all eighteen floors of the dungeon. The first
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: step sham, yep. So the first, the very first step
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: is to enter the dungeon, all right. And they're stairways
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: all over the world there, all over the world. They
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: were multiple In Seattle, Carl himself managed it was not
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: that far from one of the from one of the
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: stairways that opens and the quadsend. Do make it clear
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: that you don't have to enter the dungeon, all right.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: If he's if you were standing outside when the collapse happens,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: all right, you're free to do whatever you want. They're
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: not going to hurt you, all right, They're not going
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: to help you, but they're you're free to just survive
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: off of any resources you can gather.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: You'll you'll basically just have to start over from scratch,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Like everyone's gonna have to start over from scratch. Unfortunately.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: So Carl realizing that he is not prepared to survive
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: in a Seattle winter. It's snowing, it is below freezing outside,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: all right. He is literally in his underwear, all right,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: He's half naked, does not have proper footwear, and only
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: only kind of protection he has is his coat and
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: a cat. Yeah, that's it. So Carl makes the decision
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: to go down into the dungeon. So he finds the
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: nearest stairwell and enters the dungeon. And upon immediately entering
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: the dungeon, he gets to the note he immediately gets
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: an achievement telling him that he congratulations, you were one
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: of the first like ten thousand, like like five ten
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: thousand people to enter the dungeon. And also he gets
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: an achievement for being the first crawler to enter the
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: dungeon with a cat. And because of that, it awards
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: him with a legendary loop box, a legendary pet box. Yeah,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: so they every time they get a like a loop
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: like a like a really good achievement, they get a
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: loop box of some time of some kind, ranging from
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: a copper loop box all the way up to legendary.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Like the very best loop box you can get in
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: this series is the is the celestial loop box. Like
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: there's there, well, there's another one. There's there's a celestial
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: loop box, and then there's also an infernal loop box,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: which is kind of like the celestial but inferno but
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: it's not as rare and it's not as good, but
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: still in any case, he answers. The dungeon gets those,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: he gets those, not like he gets those achievements, and
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: he's like, Okay, what do I do from here? He
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: keeps falling, he keeps going down the he keeps going
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: down the stairs, and finally enters the dungeon. All Right,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: the dungeon looks like nothing fancy really, it's like what
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: which you It's what you expect with in like an
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: underground like dungeon style complex. Right, there's tunnels, there's archways,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: there's like different doorways lining the path, he notices oddly
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: enough that they're like every like few dozen feet. There's
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: bathrooms everywhere. There's bathrooms everywhere.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, i mean, great, fabulous love that. But oh
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: if the guy pe I's going to the bathroom's one
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: right there?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, he he's as he's searching, he notices
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: that there are that there's signs leading to what is
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: called a tutorial guild or like a tutorial guide, and
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: uh and there's signs pointing into the direction into like
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: a off into like the distance. So he decides, okay, well,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: if he's gonna figure things out, he's gonna need to
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: go to the editorial guild. So he's also figuring out
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: that he now has like an heads up display. He
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: can access a chat, but he since he hasn't met
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: any other crawlers, any other dungeon crawlers, he can't really
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: message anybody. He doesn't really know how to act. He
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: can't access his uh his inventory just yet because the
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: tutorial guide has to activate that for him. He has
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: no other weapons to defend himself, so he's trying to
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: be very careful. But as he's going, as he's like
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: going deeper into the dungeon, Donut jumps out of his
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: arms and runs off. He has to chase her. He
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: tries to chase her down and ends up running into goblins.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: M goblins mm hmm.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Now, the thing is is that when he runs into
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: the goblins, it was an obvious in a very obvious trap,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: but it ends up getting tripped anyway because of Donut.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: So he has to run away from these goblins because
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: there's only three goblins. But the thing is is that
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: these three goblins are driving like a sort of like
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: stooped up like what are those things called that? Like
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: they're like they're like these they're basically a motorized sweeper.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: They're like a vacuum and a suite mixed together. But
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: they're like this big kind of like uh, they're like
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: they're like these big kind of it's what are those called,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: like a ATV style like little vehicles like they ever
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: been into like a warehouse or like at like a superstore.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: And you see this dude just driving by and he
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: has he's basically driving a sweeper, like a backroom sweep.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: It's one of those, except it's arms to the teeth.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, are you enjoying him? Struggling because I've
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: kind of get a little laugh out of it.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know what those empties. I don't know what
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: those things are called. Okay, don't judge me. I know
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: what those like. Like I wanted to call it an
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: ice sweeper, because I know what those ice sweepers are called,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: you know, like an ice rings. So they have those
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: like things that those guys drive to like smooth out
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: the ice and ship. Yeah, except it just sweeps off
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: concrete floors. Anyway, he runs. So anyway, the point is
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Carl runs into a trap, and the trap is three
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: goblins riding a fucking sweeper that's arms to the teeth
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: with like all these kind of spikes and like and
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: like buzz saws and ship and it ends up chasing
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: him down and down further into the dungeon. All right, donut.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Surprisingly is like running to like running in the same direction,
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: and they managed to get to uh, they managed to
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: find the tutorial ill he goes. He tries to open it,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: but it's not it's not unlocked yet.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: And he's counting on the door, like begging for someone
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: to let him in.
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: And the person that ends up opening the door is
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: a is a former dungeon crawler named Mordecai. So Mordecai
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: was a dungeon crawler from one of.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: The previous seasons. He was originally from a race called Skyfoul,
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: which are bird people kind of like if you're a
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: D and D player. They're like the Ara cocra, except
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: they're more like instead of like you know, the air cocra,
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: who are humanoid and then they have wings coming out
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: of their back.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Ye. The sky fowl are just like they're just more
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: they look more bird like. They still retain like bird
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: like features, but they're intelligent. And the thing is Mordecai
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: is when he was a dungeon crawler, he took on
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: the he took on a race that allows him to
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: like a shape shifter race, a changing race. So he
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: the way he appears. What did he what did he
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: look like in the first.
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: First floor? Oh god, what was he in the first floor?
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was a birdman?
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: No he was, and he was like was he No,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: he was a toad in the first floor.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was a toad in the first floor.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah he was. He like every for some reason, h
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Mordecai now no longer can control his transformations because when
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: he was a dungeon crawler, Mordecai could like transform himself
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: at will because being a changeline. But uh, when he
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: but when he takes his contract to leave, to leave
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: his dungeon, he became a guild master. He became a guilt,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: a tutorial master, a tutorial guide. And when he became
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: a tutorial guide, part of his contract is like every
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: floor that he goes through, like each new dungeon. Uh,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: he's randomly transformed into a different into a different race.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: So he no longer has control over his transformation. So
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: for the very first time that they meet that, Karl
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: and Donut meet Mordecai. Guy, he's in the form of
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: a toad person. Yeah so opens Yeah, he's he was
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: adorable and he's pretty funny. He's like he's like the
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: real MVP if you ask me.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, most definitely love him, love him yep.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: So Mordecai lets him, lets him into the guild. The
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Goblins almost get into the guild, but Mordecai has to
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: shot at them and remind uh and remind the mobs
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: that they cannot answer the guild and he manages to
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: shut them out.
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: These for some reason, the goblins are like really insistent
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: on getting into the guild to try to kill the
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: the two to kill the crawl, the one dungeon crawler,
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: so Karl eventually shoot like Karl does run back out
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: there temporarily and manages to kill the to kill all
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: three of the of the goblins, and he doesn't, but
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: he he realizes the goblins are not that strong, so
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: he manages to like just basically ground one and throw
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: it onto the spikes of their own vehicle. And the
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: thing is is that the Goblin built the Goblin built
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: vehicle was not very stable, and without the little Goblin
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: engineer on it keeping it from blowing up, the machine
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: event actually blows up and Carl has to quickly run
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: back in to the Storial Guild before it blows up
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: and kills him. Yeah, after gett into the Theatorial, Mordecai
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: helps Mordecai helps Carl by activating his fully activating his
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: heads up display as well as giving him access to
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: his inventory. Mordechai is surprised is actually despite being like
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: a kind of down on his look type of character,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of like he's like a borderline alcoholic
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: without the alcohol you thinking about it, because he has
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: that kind of mentality. Ah, he's actually really good storial back.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: He's a really good tutorial guy. All right. He doesn't
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: hold anything back. He tells Carl like, listen, you're fucked,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: You're fucked.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Literally he holds he does not hold back. You're fucked.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: You're you're fucked, You're fucked. All right. The the like,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I think there was what like fourteen million people that
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: manage that actually go into the dungeon, Like over fourteen
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: million people that enters the dungeon something like that. There
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: wasn't there was a lot, but there wasn't a lot.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: I think that.
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Uh, he's he's very blunt and upfront with Carl. And
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: there are a couple there are a few times throughout
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: the series where Mordecai like almost says something you know,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: you know, non plus towards uh, towards the uh showrunners.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: But the thing is that the AI, the AI and
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: the showrunners really regulate what the what the former Crawler
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: NPCs can say and do. So if they do anything
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: that violates their contract, they may get like they may
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: get to like shoved back into like store in cold
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: storage and not be let out until the next ball season,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: and they may even see like an extension into their
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: indenture ship. Because the thing is is that dungeon Crawler, like,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: if you take a contract, you can be indentured for
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: thousands of years because it's based on it's by season,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: all right. They do it by season, all right, Like you, okay,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: so if you take this contract, you'll serve us for
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: the next hundred seasons. You would think like, oh, okay,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: one hundred seasons. That's like one hundred years. That's not
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: that's no big deal. It's a big deal because seasons
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: don't happen every year. New seasons don't happen every year.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: They happen every few hundred years. They can happen avery
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: few like maybe every few decades or every few hundred years.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: So Mordecai by this point is on like his sixth season,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: six or seventh season, which is probably a little over
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: one thousand years by now.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's been he's been indentured for a very
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: long time. And Carls even surprised to realize that Mordecai
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: is surprisingly well, like very familiar with like Earth culture
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: and you know, like popular culture, popular media, movies, gaming
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: things like that, like very like he's very educated on
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: like how human like how human Earth culture was like,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: and Mordecai reveals that he was already he had been
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: sent to Earth like sixty years before the crawl too,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: like to learn and observe us, because they already knew
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: that by like even back then sixty years ago, they
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: already knew that Earth was going to be turned into
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: a crawl. And it's kind of fucked up how planets
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: are chosen for the for the new Dungeon crawls, because
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: there's a rule in the Galactic Syndicate that if you
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: do not like properly, if you do not make contact
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: with the Galactic Syndicate within like seventy years of making
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: first contact with them, then your planet will be marked
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: of the Dungeon Crawl. And I'm just wondering, like, wait
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: a second, if that's the rule, then why hasn't Earth
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: been given that opportunity, Like there's a timeframe that was set,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: but why, like what's going on? They never really I
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: will give you this little spoiler, even up until like
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: book seven, they haven't really explained why that happens. YEA,
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: why Earth was why like Earth wasn't like hadn't been
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: able to contact the Galactic Syndicate to register with them. Yeah,
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: there's some bullshitary definitely, Like it's a rule that is
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: often ignored or like not properly enforced. Basically like okay, well,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to give them a chance to like be
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: able to register and avoid the dungeon crawl, right, but
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: clearly they don't actually do that, Like they they take
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: one little like contact from like the news like from
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: the new planet and consider that first contact like the
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: official first contact, and then they don't explain the rules.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: And then and they're like okay, cool, well like okay,
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: it's been seventy years, you haven't really needn't do shit,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: so we're taking your planet now. So then Mordecai does
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: explain this to Carl, and he's also explains to Carl
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: that the first three levels of the Dungeon are considered
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: the tutorial levels. So this is where crawl. This is
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: where like it's important for crawlers to really like farm mobs,
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: build up experience, get those level ups all right, and
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: also start considering what kind of class and race that
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: they're going to choose, because when they reach the third floor.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: That is when they're going to choose. That's when they
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: get to choose those classes and there and a new race,
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: so like the Dungeon Crawl allows them to choose like
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: a separate race, so you can choose a non human
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: race like an elf dwarf, but an or not to
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: like spoil it, but later not to give you guys
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: too much spoilers. But later on, when Carl reaches the
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: third floor, he one of the race is that the
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: AI offers him is a hobgoblin race, which is like
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: really like a really ugly race. It's hilarious. So after explaining.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jacob, Jacob, Jacob, we wakes up in the morning
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: a hobgoblin.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: And what are you supposed to be? A dwarf?
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: My god, thank you, thank you?
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Oh wait no no actually hold on, no, no, no, no no,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: do you have a pointy hat?
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: By any chance, I'm gonna kill you. I'm going to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: pull the funk up. I knew you're gonna say, fucking gnome.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want to want those stone gnomes. Oh my god,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I'm a gnome.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: You.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Speaking of gnomes, there are gnomes in the Dungeon crawls
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: see them on floor five though yeah anyway, uh so,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: either way, Carl is given like the full rundown of
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: how to use his stats and his leveling like first
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: two levels, like of course, like he's gonna get experienced
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: and he can like start setting like points to like
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: different skills that he has. The AI takes into consideration
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: like his life skills that he brings in. So like surprisingly,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Carl has a very weak is very is not like
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: a very weak strength even though he's like a vet's
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: he is a military veteran post guard. But and he
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: has other like life skills that are useful for him.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: But the thing is is that the a I loves
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: fucking with you. It loves fucking with you. If you
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: hate something, it's going to it's going to throw that
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: thing you hate at.
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: You complain if you complain about something in the dungeon,
• 46:46
  Speaker 9: Like in Carl's case, he keeps bitching that you can't
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: find seem to find a pair of pants to wear
• 46:51
  Speaker 9: and nope, later nope, but he later gets a freaking
• 46:58
  Speaker 9: new pair of underwear that gives him a really cool
• 47:00
  Speaker 9: staff boost.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the thing.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: Is, when he was running from the goblins, he ends
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: up losing the crocs. So now he's barefoot, and he
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: starts complaining that he's barefoot, and ladies and gentlemen, this
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: is where the this Let me tell you something right now, girl,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: this this fucking AI is unhinged.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: It horrid, horrid and has.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: An unhealthy obsession with.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Feet, unhealthy obsession.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Like so much, so much so that it will like
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: actually force Karl to use foot base attacks. Uh huh,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: like like it was. And it's like, in fact, you
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: know where it all started. It started with those three goblins,
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: because when Carl was fighting those goblins, he knocked one off,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: that little that little sweeper and that little death trap
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: and then he jumps down and smushes it with his
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: bare foot.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he sure did.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Not the AI.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, let me tell you the audiobook.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: The AI is so unhinged. It's it's vile. I feel
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: like my ears got assaulted.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: By some of the achievements that it gives that it
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: gives you. They're hilarious, unhinged, unhold like oh some of
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: the things like you're just reading this and the thing
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: like some of the things that it's just it's just
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: telling Carl through the achievements is like.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: That AI is a gutter gutter goblin. Fagot a gutter goblin.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: So here's some of the things. Like, here's one achievement,

• 51:18
  Speaker 3: question earlier. So the first time they meet Mordecai, he's
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: actually transformed into a rat hooligan. So he's a rat.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: He's my dad, all right? Hold on, where's that achievement?
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: He gets a really he gets a really gnarly achievement
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: from killing those those goblins. Hold on.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Sealed the person who does the voiceover for the audiobook,
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: You have no right to voice the Ai like that
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: when it comes to Carl's feet. It's so wrong.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: Oh here it is. So I'm gonna go ahead and

  Speaker 3: Achievement Kill. You killed a mob. You're a murderer. You
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: probably had a family reward. You can now gain experience.

• 52:24
  Speaker 3: a level. New Achievements. You've killed an armed mob with

• 52:59
  Speaker 3: This is the now, this is the one.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Oh God.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: New achievement photophilia. You've used your bare feet to crush

  Speaker 3: You received a gold shoe box New Achievement Boom. You've
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: caused a wall shaken explosion within the dungeon. The last

  Speaker 3: came over for a visit reward. You've received a silver
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: Goblin box. Level up, baby, you've received enough experience to

• 53:37
  Speaker 3: don't get rewards for doing your.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Job, savage.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, so I mean I probably should have
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: just I could have just stopped with the photophilia. But
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: this is the kind of ship that the dungeon ai.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: There was one in this book alone, where like the
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: achievement was just so like I'm just reading this and
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: I'm like.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: So raunchy, Like.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Excuse me.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: The audio, yeah, the audiobook. The audiobook whereas it's like
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the exact one, but I think it's
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: in the first book, see in the first book, or
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: we're on the other ones. But who He's just like, yeah.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: That's right, you dirt, it looks.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Something like that, And I'm like, I need a shower
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: with holy water. I was mortified.
• 54:35
  Speaker 10: I was like, ew, what the book I'm pretty sure
• 54:39
  Speaker 10: that was on that's in book four when they're on
• 54:43
  Speaker 10: floor five. Because so I will say book one takes place,
• 54:47
  Speaker 10: it covers book covers floor one and two, and then after.
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: That each book is just a single floor.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: But Book four and when they're on floor five. H
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: the AI. I don't want to like spoil too much,
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: but the AI was getting very pissed that Carl was
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: not like stepping on shit. So it literally unleash shoes
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: a swarm of these uh like rabbit like ravenous uh
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: like murder like murder gerbils. Yeah, and like at that point,
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: these murder gerbils are like too low level to like
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: be a threat to Carl, but like there was so
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: much of them that they were doing damage to him
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: and his friends, and like he was just punching them,
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: but like, uh he by that point he stops like
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: using his bare feet to kill anything because it was
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: just grossing him out with how much the AI liked
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: it fetishized it. And then like but the thing is
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: that the mobs were not They just wouldn't stop coming.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: The gerbils kept coming, and finally, like like finally he
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: just like fuck it and then he starts squashing them
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: with his feet and then they stopped coming. And the
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: achievement he gets after that was just vile, vile, vile.
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: It was just like basically it was like the AI
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: was coming in his ear.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why it sounds like on the audiobook too.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I'm not gonna say I love the
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: AI that the AI does that, because it's it's kind
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: of a it's a flip on this type of genre
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: because when you play like those RPG games, half the
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: time the female characters are wearing literally nothing and they're
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: very sexualized, and in this.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Book it's the opposite. It's the man man.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's running around, he's going through this entire dungeon
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: half naked. Yeah, no shoes, this pair of boxers. He
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: does have like a just a regular like shirt on,
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: and he has his coat and he still keeps his
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: coat with him, but that's pretty much it.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: And then is thirsting over him, like the fan boys
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: thirst over these type of characters are sexualizing female characters.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: So it's I'm like, I see what you're doing here,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: but you don't have to.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Why did that make it so vile?
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: Why? Like, I'm just like, this is not a door,
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: this is this is this is not the mirror, This
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: is not this is not the mirror. This is just
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: just vile. So to get back to this book, Carl
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: is now like getting his he's starting to level up
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: and since entering the tutorial guild, Mordecai encourages him to
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: go ahead and open the loot boxes he's already gotten.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: He opens them and the very the very first loot
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: box that opens is the legendary pet box he got, yep.
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: And in the pet box is like, uh, like, I
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: think it came with like one or two, like a
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: couple other things like U like you know, groom like
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: pet and roomy supplies, but the main thing it came
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: with was a single pet treat. This is legendary pet tree.
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: So if you feed this to your pet, it will
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: give them a power up. So it's a random power
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: up basically, like it's going to transform them into something else. Right, So,
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: like when the pet eats the tree, the pet is
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: going to go through in an immediate transformation. So but
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: the thing is, the transformation is random, so and there's
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: no real one hundred percent guarantee that the pet will
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: still be friendly by the time the transformation is done,
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: but there's still a high it's there's still gonna be
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: a high chance that it'll still be friendly to you
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: after the transformation, but there's a high possibility that it's
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: going to be a lot more powerful, and it might
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: either it might turn into something very useful, so like,
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: feed this to your pet cat, and you may end
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: up with a sabertoothed tiger once the transformation is done. Yeah,
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: So Carl was like was mulling it over. He wasn't
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: sure if he wanted to feed Donut the pet treat.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: But Donut immediately jumps up and like bites his hand
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: off just to get to the tree, and she eats
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: a treat and just as soon as she ingests this,
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: it ingests it, she disintegrates into goop.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Yep, she like.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: Immediately turns into this like puddle of goop, and Carl
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: thinks he killed his cat, but Mordecai and Mordecai shirt
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: reachers in that. Oh, she's fine. This is part of
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: the transformation process. She's literally her entire genetic structure is
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: being rewritten at the atomic level. So when it when
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: it's done, she's going to be completely different, right, So
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: Carl like, So Carl get like continues like getting like
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: going through the toil with Mordecai, and after a few minutes,
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: like he hears someone else in the guild starts speaking
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: to him, and he turns around and looks down and
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: he sees there's Donna again. She's exactly the same as
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: she was before, except now she can talk. So what
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: the pet bistic biscuit ended up doing was it didn't
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: change her from a regular house cat. So she's still
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: a tortoiseshelled Persian cat, but now she is fully in
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: she's fully sapient because of this. Because of this transformation,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: she's now considered a dungeon crawler. So she too gets
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: her own like you know heads to display her own inventory.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: She can level up just like Carl can, and surprisingly
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: her like like, her stats are higher than his. Like
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: her charisma is insanely high for her level. She has
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: like a twenty. She starts off with a twenty five
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: to her charisma and her and she gets a few
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: other things too, a few other her own power ups.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: As soon as she like comes up, the AI immediately
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: gives her an achievement for being like the first cat
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: dungeon crawler, and she gets a legendary loop box. And
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: in this loop box, it gives her a crown. It's
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: called the Crown of the Sultanate.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: What is the crown called let's see.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm mm hmm.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: Sorright, future Devin.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Got this bort up.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 11: A blood of like crowd of the blood Sultan for
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 11: or something. Okay, she's got a little bigger, but.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: Not by much. Either way, she was still decidedly a cat,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: except for the talking part. First off, Carl, my name
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: is g C B bw R NW Princess Donut. The
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: Queen anschank, and I'm gonna have to insist you call
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: me by that, by my proper title. I will not
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: except just a princess or even Princess Donut, but not
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: if we're in the presence of high company. H I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: suppose Princess Donut will do for now. So like her
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: stats starting off was like, she has a eleven for
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: her strength and eleven for her intelligence, making her stronger
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: both stronger and smarter than Karl. She has a ridiculously
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: low constitution though she only has a two for her constitution.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: Dexterity is pretty is pretty average for with an eight,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: and her charisma is insanely high at twenty five, which
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: for the first floor is ridiculously high.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: Uh, let's see.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 12: After initial blah blah blah, she's forever stuck with a
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 12: two a constitution two.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: Oh here it is. Yeah, she gets a loop fox
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: and in it and in this loop box she gets
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: a magical crown, the enchanted Crown of the Sepsis four.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: Then let me read you the description of this crown. Okay,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: because first things first, when she gets this crown and
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: they read the description, Mordecai tells her not to put
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: it on just yet because it's it's going to be
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: dangerous later on down the line. So what does so
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: what does don'n it naturally do plan on? She puts
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: it on. She puts it on. So anyway, this is so,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: this is the description that the AI gives for the
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: Crown of the Sebstance four. Who's a dirty girl? You're
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: a dirty girl. This is a fleeting item. This is
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: a unique item and views where with a plus five
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: intelligence grants the user plus five to the good first
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: Impression skill. All attacks, including magical attacks, now have a
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: fifteen percent chance to inflict the Sepsis deba warning. Seriously, though,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have to I'm going to say this again. Warning,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: Read this shit before you put it on. Place this
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: crown upon your head permanently places you within the royal
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: line of succession for the Blood Sultanate on the ninth
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: floor of the World Dungeon. Removing this item will not
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: remove this status. Royal members of the Blood Sultanate will
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: be required to slay the Sultan in all other members
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: of the royal family before descending to the tenth floor.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: You'll only want to wear this if you're a bloodthirsty,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: raging psychopath. And Parl after reading that, immediately was like that,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: I don't I'm not so sure you should put that on.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: And Donna's like, it's purple. Purple is my color. Do
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: you know how many purple ribbons I won? Do you
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: know what it takes to get a purple ribbon? But yes, Yeah.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: The funny thing is is that she put it on
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: before reading that. Yeah, let's see. Yeah, mort guy sees
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: what she got and she's like, the other item is very,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: very powerful and valuable, but it's also very dangerous. Before
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: you decide to put on, she takes special note that
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: it who immediately goes on her head. Yeah, so that's
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: pretty much like Donut is very she's very impulsive, and
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: she does have a lot she does get a lot
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: of character growth throughout the series, But the thing is
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: that she has that very like like she has a
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: very self important attitude. She's very entire, she's very entitled,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: very like uh like, like she's told she's a spoiled cat.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: That's what she is.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, all right, But.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: She gets set So she gets set up with her
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: own stats. She has now her own items. She gets
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: like from her loop boxes, she gets a she gets
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: some magic missile ability and other a few other useful
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: spells and uh she gets She starts setting up her
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: stats in her inventory with Mordecai. Before the two of
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: them finally leaves to start their journey through the dungeons,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: Mordecai advises them that technically the first two floors after
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: several Like, the thing about the floors is that they
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: get they're supposed to get shorter, right and you go
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: deeper into the level, or they get longer.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: I think they get longer.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: They get longer.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: I think they get longer.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, they got longer. All right. So
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: Mordecai advises them that up to a certain point, the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: staircases leading down to the second floor aren't open, but
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: they do open pretty early after a certain point. Now
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: he tells them that it's actually not it's not really
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: a good idea to go down into the next floor
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: until you're nearing the end of the time limit, because
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: every floor has a time limit, a designated time limit,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: and after a certain time now, like with the first floor,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: I think it's only like a few days, like up
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: to a week or so before it's supposed to collapse.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: And then the next floor it gets more time before lapses,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: and so on and so forth. The floors get pid,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: get longer, a little get longer and longer. The floors
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: get slightly longer, the time limit gets slightly longer with
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: each floor they go down to.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Now, Okay, I'm gonna have to go to the restroot
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: real quick, but you can continue if you want.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: You're gonna edit it up.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: No, I'm no, I'm gonna add this part out me leaving,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: But if you want to continue on the plot, I'm
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: just gonna have it edit it where it's just showing you.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: I really need to be all right, So you have
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: to start over. Okay, don't cut that last one up.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: So the so Carl and Dungeon. Eventually, after finishing their
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: first aptoral with Mortar Kai, they leave the They leave
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: and begin to explore the dungeon more. Now having better
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: understanding of how they are to defend themselves, how to
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: use their stats, how to love up, they start exploring
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: the dungeon and clearing out mobs on their own. Right
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: after they leave the tutorial guild, Carl tries to separate
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: from Donut because since now Donut is intelligent and is
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: capable of fending for herself now as an intelligent drawler
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: instead of just a regular house cat, he feels like
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: he doesn't that she doesn't need him, and also he
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: doesn't really want to stick with her because her attitude
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: is pretty insulting. She's kind of being mean to him.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: But Donut immediately gets scared and doesn't want to separate
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: from him and apologize and promise and make promises that
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: she'll be nicer and not treat him that way. So
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: he agrees reluctantly because there's a part reluctantly maybe not
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: so much so much reluctantly, because this part of Karl
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: that still cares about the cat. It's his cat. It's
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: his cat. I mean, it may belong to his ex girlfriend,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: Donut may have belonged to his ex girlfriend, but he
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: still cared for the cat and still want it and
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: still on some level wanted to look out for her
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: well being. So the two of them continue through the dungeon,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: killing mobs as they go, and they eventually come across
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: what is called a neighborhood boss. So throughout the dungeon
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: there are different types of bosses they can encounter. There's
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: neighborhood bosses, borough bosses, city bosses, country bosses, and even
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: floor bosses like city country and floor bosses are the
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: ones that you don't want to run into because they
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: are insanely powerful and insanely strong. As they near the
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: end of the first floor, they are actually horrified to
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: find out that over that there was over like fourteen
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: million crawlers that enter the dungeon initially, and by the
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: end of the first floor ten million have died. So
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of crawlers are being killed, and they every
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: time that they enter like a safe like a safe room.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: The safe rooms have like bulletin boards that have like
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: the these alien announcements, and near the end of the floor,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: they see that like they see like initially how many
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: crawlers entered the dungeon, and then how many crawlers are
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: still alive? So like the number of crawlers that die
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: and just the first floor alone is insanely high, so
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of them were killed either because of like
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: faulty traps or because they keep it. They've encountered bosses
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: that are way too strong for their levels, for their
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: level of striketh. So Carlin Donut finds a neighborhood boss
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: who is still a strong mob. It was still a
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: very powerful mob, but they were able to at the
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: very least defeat it, and they're they're actually very shocked
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: to realize that the neighborhood boss was actually wasn't just
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: like a mob that was grown and birthed just for
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: the dungeon, but the mob it's but the neighborhood boss
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: was actually a person from Earth. So they learned that
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: they made that the that the AI it does fuck
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: with them. And when the collapse happened, people who were
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: inside those buildings they were actually put in cold storage,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: so they're not technically dead. They're dead, they're not dead,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: but they're being repurposed. There's a chance that they've been
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: repurposed for the for the dungeon itself, So in some
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: cases they'll encounter mobs that look like regular people that
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: have been just warped and twisted into like like powerful
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: bosses or mobs. Like this neighborhood boss was a Spanish woman.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: She was a she's called like a she was like
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: a hoarder boss, like her little boss Arena was like
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: a kind of like a like basically what her home
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: used to be, like filled with junk and everything, and
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: like she was very grotesque looking, but she was babbling
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: in Spanish, and it seemed like she had some kind
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: of like awareness of that, like something's wrong, and like
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: she's she's kind of aware of like where she is,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: but she doesn't fully understand it. Carl and Donut do
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: end up defeating her and put her out of her misery,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: but the two of them are still like the two
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: of them are deeply disturbed by this. Yeah, yeah, I
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: was too.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's kind of fucked up.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: And we see more of this later on, like the
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: the AI and the Syndicate. They they do this to
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: the crawlers, especially really popular crawlers. So like the crawl
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: is like it's a reality show, so there are trillions
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: of alien people watching tuning in and watching them. Later
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: on in the in the story Carl and Donut actually
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: can see get like a little viewership meters put onto
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: their heads at display so they can see like how
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: many people are tuning into like their feed specifically, and
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: because like the Unsurprisingly, these two become very popular later
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: on in the story, and they actually start getting their
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: own sponsors and Uh when he becomes sponsored and he
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: become popular, the syndicate starts pulling you between levels, like
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: like when you go to and go down to a
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: different floor, you will actually get pulled for like talk
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: shows and other entertainment shows kind of like meet and
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: greets for like for fans and dungeon crawlers. It's really
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: fucked up because these people are like they're literally it's
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: it's the hunger Games, all right. You got these people
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: who are true who are placing bets on their favorite crawlers,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: seeing like who's gonna live the longest or who's gonna
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: die the fastest. All right, they make merchandise and money.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: They merchandise these and monotonize these crawlers and their deaths.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: You know, It's it's insane, all right. Eventually, Carl and Uh,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: before going down into the second floor, Carl and Donut
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: encounter a couple other mobs. They noticed that, but most
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: of them, I'm sorry, a couple other crawlers. But most
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: of the crawlers they keep coming across are dead, so
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: they think that these people. The thing is that they
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: can actually see, like the AI will put like descriptions
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: over dead over the dead crawlers, and it'll tell them
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: who killed them. So some of the crawlers they come across,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: of course, were killed by by other mobs, but in
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: some cases they notice that these crawlers were killed by
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: other crawlers. And eventually they do encounter other live crawlers,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: a guy named Frank and his wife Maggie. And when
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: they first encounter the two, the two are in there,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: they're in a safe zone, and Maggie and Frank, as
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: it turns out, are player killers. So it later on
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: it does it does go into the bit of their
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: backstories later on in the in the story, we don't
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: really learn their full story until like after book four.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: I think it's like book four, Like it was like
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: book four when we learned the full story of like
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: how they got there, how they became player killers, because
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: the two of them actually used to be law enforcement officials,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: like two of them used to work in law enforcement.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: But when they answered the dungeon that they're their tutorial
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: guide actually encouraged them to kill other crawlers. Yeah, like
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: that's part of the game, you got to kill other crawlers, which, like, yeah,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: it was just fucked up, but U And so Frank
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: and his wife try to ambush Carl and Donut while
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: they're in the safe room. But the thing is is
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: that Donut and Carl's tutorial guide, Mordecai, actually explained to
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: them that while in the safe zone, any kind of
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: violence against crawlers is taboo, and if you if you
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: try to attack another crawler while in the safe room,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: the system will just freeze you for a few minutes,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: like as a bit of a time out, and won't
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: let you do anything else until after that. And if
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: you continue to try to attack another crawler, it'll just
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: teleport you to a random location outside of the safe room.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: So h So Frank and Maggie try to attack Carl
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: and Donut, but they immediately get frozen. So Carl and
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: Carl and Donut leave the safe room. And when they
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: leave the safe room, they do they actually found some
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: other bodies of they find some mobs, they quickly kill them,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: and Carl sets a trap. So Carl has begun has
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: is starting to become a bit of a demolitions expert
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: after because a lot of the mobs he's and he
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: ends up killing our goblins, and these goblins are demolition experts.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: They use a lot of explosives, so he ends up
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: collecting a lot of their bombs, their traps, and he
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: sets a trap in the mobs, and some of the
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: mobs he kills, and he sets one where it basically
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: like if they pull a specific item out of its inventory,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: have a mobs in inventory, it'll explode. It'll it'll basically explode.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: So uh, and it does actually work because they get
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: far enough away from them from Frank and Maggie and
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: they and while they get far enough, while they got
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: far enough away from them, they do hear an explosion
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: from back from back where they came. So as far
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: as they know, they the two Frank and Maggie did
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: trigger the trap and it exploded, but they don't know
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: if they killed him or not. Oh yeah, they got
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: they did get some experience, but they like they didn't
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: really like get credit for killing something, so they'll they
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: they're not really sure. Uh, let's see, now Carl and
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: Donut do Eventually, like Carl and Donut realize that they're
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: they've entered the main Goblin neighborhood. So like this the
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: neighborhood that they're in is just strictly Goblin mobs, and
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: they with an idea that they the thing is, the
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: first floor is very big, right, it's there's a lot
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: of space, there's a lot of areas they can explore,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 3: and they realize that the goblins have machines, they have mechanics,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: they have vehicles, right, so they get the idea that
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: they should get Donut to try to like convince the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: goblins to let them to help them out. Because part
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: of it is all the reason why it's gonna work
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: is also because in one of Carl's loop boxes he
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: gets he actually gets a tattoo, a little it's a
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: little perk that he got from one of his loop boxes.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: It's a tattoo that basically allows him to enter goblins
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: territory and goblins won't attack him. Yeah, but if he
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: encountered goes into like a territory that's controlled by fairies
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: and they it's on site, so so using Carl's Carl's
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: tattoo and donuts charmed. They actually managed to trick the
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: convince the goblins to build them a motorcycle, cold powered motorcycle.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: And while after it's built, they want to they decide
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: that they want to try to like they decided, like,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: you know what, fuck it, let's just try to clear
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: out this area and get as much and get as
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: much XP as possible. Right, And they know that like
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: on like just beyond the workshop that they were in
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: to get their motorcycle, uh is the borough boss, is
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: the neighborhood boss, and it's the goblin boss. So they decide, like,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: all right, instead of just fighting all of these goblins,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: including like these two powerful goblin shamans, let's try to
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: trick them. So while they were paid, while they were
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: haggling over like how they're going to pay for the motorcycle,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: they revealed that they collected some dungeon strength drugs from
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: some from some law party lamas. Wait what do they call?
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: They were called what crazy lamas are?
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, I don't know, I don't remember
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: what the what those fucking insane lamas were called. But
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: they cause the drug war between the Lamas and the goblins.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because while they while they were haggling over prices,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: the goblins noticed that they had these dungeon strength drugs
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: and their inventory, and the goblins were like, where did
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: you get this? And they were like, oh, we got
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: them from the from the murder Lamas. And the goblins
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: are like, we fucking do it. They've been holding on
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know so this whole time. So the two
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: shaman ladies get like rally all the goblins in the
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: neighborhood and they all go off to and invade the
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: Lama territory. These murder Lamas, yeah, these murder Lamas spit lava.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: The yeah, they they spit lava. Karl and h Donnut
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: have killed a few of them, but mostly have avoided
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: their territory. So the goblins realize like, oh, they the
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: Lamas have the good ship. Let's go get them. So
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: all of them leave the neighborhood, leaving just the neighborhood
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: boss area, and Carl immediately starts looting everything in the
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: worst shop, every like all the coal he can grab,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: all to power his motorcycle, all of the uh like
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: explosive material he can get his hands on, materials like metal,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: even like some contraptions that he doesn't know what he's
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: gonna use them for. But hey, there's there's no limit
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: to how much shit he can hold in his inventory,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: so he just takes everything. And then they put together
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: a shopping cart filled with explosives and ship like high
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: grade goblin ship. Right mh and uh, he has donut
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: open the door and like, honest, cue opens the door,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: like look quickly look into into the neighborhood bossroom to
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: just to confirm nobody's just that the neighborhood boss is
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: in there, right yeah, And as soon as they confirm
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: that she's gonna put he's gonna push the part in
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: there and ignite it and they're gonna take cover, right,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: so they start the plan. She opens the door, looks aside.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: He says, is he in there? She's like, yes, the
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: neighborhood boss is in there. He's like cool. He kicks
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: the car through through the door and jumps behind cover.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 3: He jumps behind cover with them, and she's like, boy,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: there were here a lot of goblin babies in there too.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Boom, baby killer.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: He does get a he does get an achievement over that,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: and it's funny because Carl ends up getting his own
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: cash phrase. So, like the syndicate really like like really
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 3: cashes in on a lot of like like dungeon crawl,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: like any kind of dungeon crawler shit right, anything that
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: becomes like tonic, like their look, their image, things they
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: say right. So Carl ends up getting his own catchphrase,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: something that the that his fan that his future fans
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: just come to love and always demand him to say.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 3: But and it's him basically just angrily going God damn it, donut.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: Because all the things he says that he'll say to her,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 3: that is the most common thing he says to here.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: She does something, she does something stupid, she does something
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: that pisses him off, she does something that gets them
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: in trouble. It's always the first thing out of his
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 3: mouth is like, god damn it, donut. I will tell
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 3: you when I got to that part, like as soon
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: as like they pushed the card of explosives into the
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: into the Goblin boss room and donnuts. Like man, there
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 3: was a lot of baby goblins in there. The cart explodes,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: Carl screams out, God damn it, donut, like that, I
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: lost it. I was losing I lost it. That was
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 3: the funniest thing I read in this book. Just God
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: damn it, donut. Hold on, let me see what do
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: let me I need to pull that part up again. No,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: that's war two.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: Mhm okay, mm hmmm mm hmm.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, fight the Juicer. Yeah, there's Yeah. There was also
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: another neighborhood boss they probably called the Juicer.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: Goblins goblins? Is that on for two or is that
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: on for one? Wait? Was that on floor two?
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: I don't remember, it's been so long.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: No, No, this is still on four one. But I
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: thought I thought the goblins pretty early.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's still on floor one.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 3: It is their floor one, Yes, it is. Come on,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: all right, here you go.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 13: I want you far.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: Cool, cool, cool, cool, Look at that. There's sure. Ok
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: here we go. They're sure. We're a lot of babies
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: in there too, don't said in that last moment before
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: the blast, like that was the end of the chapter,
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: and then the next chapter the first thing, it's like,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: God damn it, donut. So let's see where's the achievement,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: new achievement. Here you go, new achievement, you monster, You
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: have killed an infant and infants? Okay, okay, unless you're
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: a complete psychopath. We know you probably didn't wake up
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: this morning and tell yourself today's day, I'm gonna slaughter
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 3: a child. Let's put your mind at ease. All children
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: mobs who die within this dungeon don't actually perish. They're
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: transferred to a holding area where they're safe and treated
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: nicely and gently, and so they can be reunited with
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: their loving parents at the end of the season. Feel
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 3: better good reward these past twenty seconds, when your conscience
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 3: started to ease, that was your reward. It was also
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: a lie that baby is dead, and it's dead because
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: of you. You're totally going to hell. You've also received
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 3: a Bronze Assholes Box New Achievement or Criminal. You have
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: killed more than twenty non combatants in a single attack.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: What's the only thing question? What's the only thing standing
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: between an innocent child and a happy, fulfilling life. Answer you,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 3: The answer is you reward. You received a gold assholes box. Yep,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: damn m yep. So that was funny. After killing this boss,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 3: they do encounter other neighborhood bosses. Like they're trying to
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: level up as much as they can. They encounter another
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: neighborhood boss called the Juicer, who's literally like a Jim.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: Bro Yeah, the Juicer.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: And later they start coming across signs throughout the dungeons
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: made which have been left by other dungeon crawlers. They
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: follow the signs on their motorcycle and so they eventually
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: come to a group of people. Turns out these people
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: mainly consist of a bunch of elderly individuals who are
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: being taken care of by a bunch of nurses. So
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: these nurses or caretakers were once they were all once
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: from a Metal Lark a community called Metal Lark Senior Community.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: So this was like a retirement home for a bunch
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: for like a bunch of old and senile people. And
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: when the dungeon crawl happens, they're had act there'd been
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: a fire in their nursing home and they had to
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: evacuate all of the elderly outside of the building. And
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: then while the fire was going on, the collapse happened.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 3: So they had like they had like several dozen elderly
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: individuals and they had nowhere to They were out in
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: the like freezing cold winter. They had nowhere to take them.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: But then the dungeon the dungeon stairways opened, so they
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: unfortunately were forced to take these elderly people down into
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: the dungeon. Yeah, so now what they've been trying to
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: do is they've been trying to survive as much as
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: they could. They were trying to keep the elderly safe.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: For the most part, they kept them safe by hiding
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: them in the safe rooms, but they weren't but the
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: caretakers themselves weren't able to do much leveling up. They
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: were more focused on just taking care of the elderly carl.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: The thing is, though, they the middle art community had
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: managed to find one of the one of the stairways
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: leading down into the second floor. Now this these communities,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: the thing is that they could not get to the
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 3: stairway because the stairway was being blocked by a borough boss.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: A borough boss is uh is a lot stronger than
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: the neighborhood boss and so far the metal art community
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 3: they tried to make it past this boss. But the
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: thing is is that other crawlers have also tried to
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 3: get past it, but they all immediately get killed. So
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: the boss itself is literally a giant meatball. It's like
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 3: a fleshy meatball. Composed of like of these mobs that
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: got stuck together. It's insane. It rolls insanely fast. It's
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 3: like the Indiana Jones, like like rock trap thing, and
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: no matter how much they try to, like how much
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: they try to get past it, they can't. Unfortunately, there's
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 3: not another staircase close enough for them to be able
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: to make get all of these senior individuals out in time,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: so their only option is through the borough Boss's layer. Yeah,
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: but the at this point, Carl and Carl has started
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: like tinkering around with like building stuff and like trying
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: like using crafting tables that were available in the h
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: in the safe rooms. Uh So he comes up with
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: a plan to create something like something of a bit
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: of like a speed bump, because because in Borrow Boss's
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: boss room, it's like a series of like little tunnels
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: where it like just rolls around kind of like a
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 3: little baze, and uh he figures out a way to
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: create like kind of like a stop gap where it
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: forces the borrow Boss to like when it crashes into it,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: it gets stuck and wedged into the like get wedged
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 3: into its tunnel, its own tunnel. And when that happens
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: Carl and Carl and the team would attack it and
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: try to kill it. Yeah, uh so it was very
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 3: dangerous because it involved them going involved Carl and several
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: of the other caretakers from Metal Arc to go in
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: and put together the little stop gap. So they use
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: like building materials that they that Carl had stolen from
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 3: the goblins. They form this stop gap kind of like
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: it's kind of like a scaffold built kind of like
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: a scaffold that creates like this like like stop gap
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: thing that like as soon as the Boro Boss hits it,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: the stop gap becomes wedged and keeps it from going
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: any further and keeps it from crushing them to death.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: And when that happens, it surprisingly works. It stops the
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: Boroughboss in its track, and Carl and the others immediately
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: start attacking the Borough Boss as much as they can,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: and surprisingly the Borough Boss is not that hard to
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: kill once they stop it in its place. And when
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: it once the Borough Boss dies, like an unfortunate covea
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: of the Borough Boss is that because it's like literally
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: a amalgamation of a bunch of other mobs stuck together.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 3: As soon as it dies, they split apart into their
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: separate mobs. But cool thing is is the mobs are
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: in like a stunned deva have a stunned debuff, so
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: they're confused and aren't able to like attack back, So
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: Carl and the and the Metal Arc people are all
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: forced to like kill the mobs again. They kill the
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: borough boss and now has to kill them mobs that
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: it's split into. After they do that, the stairway is
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: now free Carl and Carl helps the Metal Art team
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: get there, helps the Metal Art Team get down into
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: the second floor, and from there they do split off.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: But funny thing is is that by the end of
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 3: the first of this floor they learned that they had
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: actually risen into into some popularity and as a result,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: they start getting they haven't really gotten any sponsors yet,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: but they've gotten a lot of viewership and they're invited
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: onto a new onto one of the onto they're invited
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: onto one of the talk shows that are hosted between
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: the different floors, so like uh so, the particular talk
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: show that they get invited on is what they is,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: a talk show that's hosted by a former very popular
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: Crawler named Odette. Odette is like a huge Odette is
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 3: human see actually, so there are actually other worlds that
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 3: have human populations outside of Earth.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: But they're way different than Earthling humans.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have like different like physical traits. You know,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: they're still a human, but just like of the different
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 3: of like different worlds. So Debt is a human from
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: a from a different from a different planet that would
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: that had experienced a crawl. She had made it as
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: far as level twelve before stopping and taking a sponsorship,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: and she she got out of the dungeon. She was
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: indentured for thousands of years, and when she finally got out,
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: she was given the opportunity to be a She was
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: given an opportunity to host a dungeon crawl talk show.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: It's very popular. Whenever she's on the talk show, she
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: is always wearing like the armor set that she wore
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: when she's when she was in the dungeon. She was
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 3: in the dungeon, he actually got cut in half, so
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: she lost the lower half of her body. And the
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: sponsors she had and while she was in the dungeons
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: gave her a like a power up boost, so she
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: was able to like she was able to heal herself,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: but she couldn't grow her legs back. And she was
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 3: given like a special of her chair that lets her
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: move around more easily. But they also give her a
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: power up that allows her to attach her body to
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: the bodies of other mobs, so she can like basically
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: like parasite off of them and take control of their bodies.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: That's kind of cool actually.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So there was a particular mob that she would
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 3: use that she would use this ability on, which was
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: like a giant crab mob, so he would run around
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: like when she was still in the dungeon, she would
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: run around like basically kind of like a crab centaur
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: like creature. Uh, and she'd get pretty bad assd and
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: like so now so but now like she when she
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: comes back onto the show, uh, when she's on when
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: she owns her show, she's always wearing her armor set
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: so like she has she's always sitting on her crab
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: little her crab mouth, and she's wearing like this bug
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: like helmet and ship and that's how she usually like
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 3: presents herself. Also, for some reason, she's always she's always
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: like you know, rocking her tits out because she's like
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: when they first see her, like she's actually like naked
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: from the waist up like, well, she's she's nothing but
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: waste uff unfortunately. But so it's like she's over here
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 3: like fucking titties hanging out all right, which was an
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: iconic look of hers, and you know, she interviews them,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: you know, and Carl, and Carl doesn't really say anything.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: He's like kind of sitting there, like what the fuck
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: is this ship? And don't don'nut being a former showcat,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: like a competent, like a cat she used to do
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 3: like pageants and stuff. She's charming the crowd and everything.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: People love her, and they love Carl, maybe not so
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 3: much for her his personality, but for like, well they
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: like his personality, but not like you know, people more
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 3: mainly like what he does the ship, he does in
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 3: the in the dungeon. Yeah, after the interview, they get
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 3: sent back to the second floor. And in the second floor,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 3: when they get to the second floor and they see
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: the recap, the floor recap episode in the safe room,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: they learned that level one has killed over ten million
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: people and there was an additional one point two million
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: people who died when the floor collapse. So like by
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: the end of the floor, the floor collapses, and if
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: you're stuck on that floor, you die. So there was
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 3: like well over fourteen fifteen million people that entered the dungeon,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: and in that first floor alone, it killed over like
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: three quarters of them.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, most definitely, Yeah, poor people.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, unfortunately a lot of them were
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: killed not because they were killed by mobs, but they
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: because they were killed by like faulty traps. Like there
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: was a hiccup with the bathrooms that was causing them
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 3: to either like was causing like traps to go off
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 3: in the bathrooms, so people would go to relieve themselves
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: and they would get killed or teleported it into a
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: mob infested area.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they had.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: To fix that. Also, the showrunners kept warning the crawlers
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: to make sure they're using those bathrooms that have been
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: provided because they do not want to. Because the bathrooms
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: are the only place in the in the dungeons that
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 3: they are not being televised. Like that's the only private
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: place you have, Like even the safe rooms you're not,
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: you don't they can still see you in the safe room,
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: Like people can still watch you in the safe room,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: but when you're in the bathroom, that's where like you
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: get complete privacy.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: Well, because of this, they enforced strict bathroom rules while
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: you're in the dungeon, like you need to. If you
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: go to the bathroom, just use one of the literal
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: millions of bathrooms we provided you, right, Because for some
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: reason there are still issues of people just urinating or
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: defecating like and just bare ass in the in the
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 3: dungeon halls, and so when they get to the floor too,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 3: the showrunners initiated a new rule that if they if
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 3: a crawler relieves themselves outside of a bathroom, then the
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: game will the game will immediately summon a high level
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: elemental from the from the like the thirteenth floor or
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: something like the twelve or thirteenth floor. So basically these
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: rage elemental they're called rage elementals like level ninety three
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: arrangement elementals. So if you piss in the hall, if
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: this murder elemental is gonna show up and kill the shitty,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 3: period as it should, just point blank period. The second
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: floor was actually like, it wasn't as long. I don't
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: remember it being as long like they actually like they
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 3: go through the second floor pretty quickly. It was just
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: more of Carl and Doughnut like mob farming, getting their stats.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: Carl's trying to like get his strength up to beat
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: Donuts because for some reason, Donut is a lot stronger
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: than him. Yeah, he gets more, like he starts getting
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: more stats that help him with his like demolitions abilities
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 3: because he's using a lot of like traps and a
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: lot of explosives, and he gets.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 13: Let me see here.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Floor two goes by a lot quicker, even though
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 3: lasts longer. I'm just sorry, I'm just reviewing rung over
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 3: my notes from everything. So while they're going through the
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: floor and they're cleaning out mobs, they actually run into
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: the metal Ark people again. The metal Arc. The caretakers
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: had managed to like have found like some carts that
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: they were able to set all of the elderly people
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: in so that way they can just like pull the
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: carts along and keep everyone together. Because some of these
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: old bucks are like senile, so they're a little difficult
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: to handle. They're confused, all right, you know, some of
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: them are really sweet. But there was one elderly guy
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: who is a total asshole, right, like problematic and unfortunately,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: like when Carl and Donut show up and run into
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: them again, this guy decides to drop his pants and
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: piss all over the walls, but does Yeah, as soon
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: as he does that, oh my god, dude, as soon
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 3: as he does that, one of the caretakers, unfortunately, she's
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: forced to shoot him because because they they take that
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: that warning seriously. If they piss on the if they
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: piss in the dungeon like outside of the bathroom, then
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: there there's gonna be or rage elemental. It's gonna be
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: somemon and it's gonna kill them all, all right. So
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: as soon as that caretaker sees this old dude drop
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 3: his pants to start nearing to start pissing on the wall,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 3: she shoots an arrow into his into him, killing him instantly. Unfortunately,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: his stream started, Yeah, and almost immediately a level ninety
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: three rage elemental appears. It's this ugly fiery beast. It
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: it shows up it and it managed it does manage
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: to kill one of the caretakers. Her name was Linda.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: And the remaining like two or three caretakers were horrified
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: and there and they struggled to get the to rush
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 3: the rest of the of the seniors into the like
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 3: into the safe rooms. A few more of the seniors
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 3: unfortunately get killed by the elemental. Carl and Donut managed
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: to distract it and h they also managed to get
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: back into the get into the safe room. The thing is,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 3: the Rage Elemental is very persistent, and it continues to
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: try to attack them from while they're in the safe room.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: Like it will. It manages to pull open the door
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 3: so they're not able to close the door, but it
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: keeps trying to enter the room. But every time it enters,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 3: the Dungeons mechanic will instantly teleport it to a random
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 3: space like far away from the safe room, but that
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: doesn't stop it. As soon as it teleports a way,
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: it immediately makes a b line back to the safe
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: room and tries to enter it again. And while they're
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 3: like going through this, they also like notice that there's
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of these like strange like bug mobs or
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 3: like maggots that keep appearing like everywhere, like they're being
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: like spammed. They're getting spammed with these with these maggots
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: like these like big grubs. They learned that those grubs
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 3: are also like gonna mutate into like these murder hornets,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 3: and they need to kill as many of them as
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 3: possible before that happens, because these murder hornets are going
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: to be a lot stronger and a lot harder to
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: deal with the thing is they they realize they can't
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 3: they're not going to be able to Carl, they're not
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to escape the escape the safe room
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: while the Elemental is still there, because the Elemental is
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 3: not gonna is not going to despawn. So Carlin donut
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 3: wait for come up with a plan, and they wait
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 3: for the Elemental to get teleported away, and once it does,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: they go outside. Carl pulls out his motorcycle from his
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 3: from his inventory. He starts laying these explosive traps everywhere
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 3: as he goes, and he waits just long enough for
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: the Elemental to come back or into view, and as
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: soon as it sees him, he throws a he checks
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 3: an explosive at it gets its attention and it starts
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 3: chasing them. Like he says, in this chase was pretty
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: like it was intense, Like this Elemental is fast and
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: they're barely able to keep to keep ahead of it.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 3: So don't don'tant to keep shooting it with her with
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 3: her magic missiles and just keep it in sit in them. Uh,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: they have to like navigate around the grubs that keep
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 3: popping up the grub mobs that pop up, and some
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: of the grub mobs are starting to cupate. I mean
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 3: they're about to transform into the murder hornets and they
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 3: so Carl. So Carl and Donut or Boat are now like, crap,
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: we have to not only deal with the Elemental, but
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: we have to deal with these grubs too, because they're
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 3: also creating like a rough terrain, So they have to
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 3: keep like navigating around them just to keep while keeping
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 3: ahead of the Elemental. And uh, early on in the
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: dune in the floor when they found the next staircase
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: leading down into level three. So they'd already found it,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 3: but then they kept a note of its location, so
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: that way when the time comes and the floor's about
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 3: to collapse, they're gonna go ahead and go down it,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: all right, So they've just been spending their time just
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 3: mob farming.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and leveling up.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: Uh. They learned pretty early on that there is a
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: way to that mobs cannot go down the stairways. If
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 3: they do, they die. So Carl had come up with
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 3: a plan. They're gonna lure the Elemental to the staircase
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 3: and they're going to try to like get it to
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 3: like go down the stairs like like try to trip
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: it into the staircase to kill it, and they actually succeed.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately they do. Unfortunately for them, the motorcycle gets destroyed
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 3: in the process because Carl had to like stop and
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 3: like basically trip the motorcycle, so it flips up in
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: the air, and when it does that, the elemental like
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 3: jumps at them, crashes into the motorcycle and like gets
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: thrown into the staircase, and when he falls into the staircase,
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 3: it instantly disintegrates. So and Carl and don't like since
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: Carl was the one who like Unfortunately, they don't actually
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: get any that I don't get that much experience from
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 3: it because they didn't technically kill the elemental. He does
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: get into the AI does take pity on him. He
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: gives him a pretty decent achievement with the loop box. Uh.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 3: They they take the they go back to the metal
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 3: Ark people and they decide, like, all right, this floor
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 3: is too dangerous for them, so they helped the metal
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 3: Ark people go down the second staircase. The two of
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 3: them spend the rest of their time leveling up as
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 3: much as possible. Near the end of the second floor,
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 3: they come across ah they come across a neighbor another
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 3: neighborhood boss and uh, which neighborhood boss was this?
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 14: It was this, it was a it wasn't a gnull.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: Is it the null? No, it wasn't. I don't remember.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 3: H oh that's what it was. So uh so this neighborhood.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: So the neighborhood Boston particular. There it was in a
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: neighborhood that was controlled by Cobalts, which were like these
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 3: hyena like Uh the cobalts were like basically like murdered. Uh.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 5: Hold on, Oh, it's the Frenzy Gerbil.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: The Frenzy Gerbil. Yeah.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 3: The last neighborhood they fight before going down and said
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 3: before this book ends is uh, it's called it's called Ralph,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 3: the Frenzy Gerbil. It's literally a ravenous little Gerbil. Yeah,
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 3: and it's a level eleven, which at this point is
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 3: still higher than Carl and Donuts. So it was pretty
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: it was. It's a pretty tough little ship.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: The thing is the Gerbil itself was is in a
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 3: what's called Cobalt territory. I forget where the COBALT's like
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 3: these lizard guys or are they like dogs? Hold on,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 3: I hate.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: I don't remember if they classify them as like Hyena
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 2: or the dragon like cobolts we know that we know
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: of from D and D.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's see.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 13: I don't find like the when they fought the Cobalts,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 13: because there is like a description. Okay, will you step
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 13: back a bit, yes, mm hmm uh, because I actually
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 13: forgot an important thought that was when they Okay, oh.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Cobalds are cobalts in this are like they're like
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 3: dog people. M hm, like the minutes of dog people.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 3: Like here's a low, here's a yeah, it's a here's
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: a description, here's an here Cobald rider level five. Here's
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: an interesting fact. The DNA of a Cobald and the
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 3: DNA of a Chuala are almost identical. That's to tell
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 3: you almost everything you need to know about these happy,
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: little assholes, small, angry, they think they're think they're bigger
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 3: than they really are. There's nothing more terrifying than a
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 3: pack of these little bastards charging at you across the battlefield,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 3: at least in their own minds, at least in their
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 3: own minds. Don't but don't underestimate them either. They are fearless,
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 3: they are intelligent and they bite first, ask questions later.
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 3: Their mounts the danger Dingoes should probably worry you. So
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 3: cobalts are like these Chuala like humanoid creatures, while the
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: and they often ride danger Dingos, which are just dingoses.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: Uh so yeah, so they didn't encounter cobalts and danger
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 3: dingoes uh near the somewhere close to the end of
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: the floor. They actually get invited onto a onto one
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 3: of the Dungeon Falls game shows. This game show is
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 3: run by a Orc prince who calls himself the Maestro.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: I hate him so much, so fucking much.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 3: This dude is dick, he calls. He brings uh Carl
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 3: and Dona on this show, but he also brings two
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 3: other crawlers onto the show as well, And that's Frank
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 3: and Maggie, the player killers. And the thing is that
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 3: may Astro is like is taunting them all, and he
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 3: brought them all all on purpose. Because the thing is
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 3: that that trap that Carl had set for the two
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 3: player killers, it did go off, but it didn't hurt them.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 3: It hurt their.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: Daughter, yep, sure did.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 3: So. What Carl didn't realize was that Frank and Maggie
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 3: had gone into the dungeon with their daughter. And the
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 3: thing is that while they they quickly took to the
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 3: player killing role, their daughter refused to level up by
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 3: killing other players. She didn't really want to fight or
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 3: do anything. She was just a scared fourteen year old girl.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: And when Frank and Maggie had ambushed Carl and Donut,
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 3: her their daughter was hiding in the safe room's bathroom.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 3: And when they came out, here's the thing, when they
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 3: went to chase Carl and Donut, they had made their daughter.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 3: Frank had gone to check the corpse that Carl had trapped,
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 3: and when he found the explosive, he managed to get away,
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: but the explosion did a lot of damage to them,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 3: and it fatally hurt their daughter. Now, the thing is,
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 3: they could have healed their daughter because they had healed
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 3: potions and scrolls, right. But the thing is is that Maggie,
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 3: who had really like gone off the deep end, thought
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 3: that their daughter was holding them back. So she ends
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 3: up killing her own dollar, her own daughter. Yeah, they
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: blamed Carl for it, and I'm like, yeah, Carl set
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 3: the trap, but because he thought because it was for
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 3: you too, Yeah, it was for those two.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: And no one told you to kill your daughter. Exactly,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: you could have healed her exactly. You did that your
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: own damn self.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 3: But now Maggie, now Maggie and Frank both have like
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 3: a vendetta against.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: I hate Maggie and Frank so much.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 3: Maggie is the worst. Later on, Frank actually, like Frank
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 3: is the one who actually feels guilt over what happened,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 3: because he was the one who.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: In like book four three or four yeah.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he feels like he still wants to kill Carl.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 3: But it's Maggie who's the one who turns into a
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 3: total murder hobo literally literally yeah. So uh, Karl manages
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 3: to piss off the Maestro, and the Maestro reveals that
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 3: he and his family, the Royal who are like the
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: Royal family of like the Orcish Empire the Skull Empire. Uh,
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 3: they participate in the war games on the ninth floor.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 3: So like, uh, I forgot what are the war games
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 3: called the I'll remember it later. It's not important because
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 3: it's not important now, but they participate because later on
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: in the in the game, as you go deeper into
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 3: the dungeon, UH, Syndicate syndicate members can take it can
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 3: actually participate in the dungeon crawls, so like on the
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: fourth on the sixth level, the sixth level is known
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 3: as the hunting grounds, and the hunting grounds is where
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 3: the syndicate hires hunters to go into the dungeon and
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 3: start hunting crawlers. Now they do this because the syndicate,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: the Syndicon has different factions, and the ninth floor is
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 3: known as the faction wars. So you have a bunch
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 3: of these syndicate factions like orcs that uh, you have Orcs, elves,
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 3: the Naga, the Mantids, the reavers, all these different like
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 3: alien species will like set up factions in the dungeon
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 3: and like just basically play a war game where they
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 3: all like uh send their armies against each other, and
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 3: the crawlers often get caught up in the middle. Most
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 3: of most crawlers have to like try to escape the
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 3: areas where the wars are going, and if they don't escape,
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 3: the factions can actually conscript them to fight for them.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 3: So it's it's a mess. But like before the faction
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 3: wars happened, the hunting grounds, uh, the sixth floor, which
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 3: is the hunting grounds, is hosted that and they send
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 3: their hunters in to kill as many Crawlers as possible
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 3: and steal their chances at equipment so they can use
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 3: it for the Faction Wars now, and my instrovial is
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 3: that he is participating in the Faction Wars and he
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 3: personally is going to enjoy killing Karl. Yeah, but after this,
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 3: so after their being hosted on this talk show, they
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 3: get sent back to the krawl and they go deeper
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 3: into the into the COBALT's territory and they find the
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 3: neighborhood Boss and it's in the When they're approaching the
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 3: Neighborhood Boss room, they kill more of the Cobalts and
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 3: they find that a lot of the danger Dingos are
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 3: being locked up in cages, and Carl learns that you
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 3: can actually befriends. He's like like pet type mobs, right
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 3: because the danger Dingos are considered pets. So he manages
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 3: to befriend a bunch of them by feeding them and
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 3: unlocking their cages and letting them go free. But they
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 3: go deeper into the neighborhood Boss room and they find
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 3: the actual neighborhood Boss, which is Ralph the frenzied Gerbil.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 3: So it's a literal Gerbil teeny little palm sized gerbil,
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 3: but it's a level eleven and it's insanely strong, and
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 3: it almost kills Carl and Donut. The thing is like,
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 3: after befriending the and the danger dingos, the one they
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 3: there was one particular danger dingo that they befriended, like
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 3: it was the very first one they befriended. It comes
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 3: back and it actually eats Ralph, like snaps him up
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 3: and swallows it. Hole. This gives Carl and Donut a
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 3: temporary reprieve, but unfortunately that did not kill Ralph the Gerbil.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 3: So I feel bad for the danger dingo because like,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 3: even though it ate Ralph, Ralph ends up seeling its
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 3: way out of the out of the dingo's stomach and
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 3: like literally just shoots out of the danger Dingo like
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 3: a bullet and tacks Carl, and Carl manages to knock
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 3: it down and stuns it, and oh god. The thing
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 3: is is that like in order to like, it was
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 3: almost dead and Carl has to kill it, and uh,
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 3: he's like, and well, the best way to kill it
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 3: is by stepping on it, and he squished it with
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 3: his foot. Ladies and gentlemen, it's not just the it's
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 3: not just the the achievements that the AI will give
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 3: that are unhinged. It's the fact that, since it has
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 3: control over the shape of the dungeon itself, it can
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 3: cause the dungeonsy like react. It can actually cause the
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 3: dungeon to react. And when when Carl, when Carl kills
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 3: the frenzy Gerbil by smushing it with his foot, the
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 3: dungeon grown it fucking groans.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: Cross I read.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 3: I'm reading that verbatim.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ground, yeah, is shirted.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 3: Groaned is shirted. I'm mm hmm. His actual heads, his
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 3: hud Ronald's heads of display actually flickers like the entire
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 3: let me let me read you this, Let me read
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 3: you this. The dungeon growed it fucking groaned. I saw
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 3: it as I watched my foot on the metal bar
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 3: of the cage. The entire dungeon rumbled as if it
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 3: was experiencing a small earthquake. My hud flickered. I feel
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 3: I felt dirty and sick. I rubbed my foot over
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 3: and over, but the blood wouldn't come off. And hold on,
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 3: it's a freaking achievement for this. Let's see here, has
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 3: he not get an achievement? For killing the Okay, it
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 3: doesn't Okay, so the he didn't get a fucked up
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 3: achievement from that, but he literally made the entire dungeon grown.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: Oh oh god, no, no, I need an adult.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: We are adults.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 3: I'm in danger.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: I would scream and panic.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 3: Oh oh god, AI is unhinged.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: This a need this Ai needs to be put down.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 3: Uh huh. Anyway, the cool thing is is after killing
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 3: the the the Gerbil, they not only get the neighborhood
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 3: map because after killing uh, after killing the neighborhood boss,
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 3: they get a map that will reveal all like secret
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 3: locations and the location of any moms within that neighborhood
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 3: and uh, they also get a master penkey. So the
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 3: thing is the Colbald Neighborhood Boss room was basically it's
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 3: like like a big old kennel full of animals, mainly
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 3: the danger dingoes, but this kennel had a bunch of
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 3: like had other pets in it too, And it turns
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 3: out that they discovered a reward. They after killing the
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 3: neighborhood boss, they had discovered a reward reward room reward.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not having a stroke or something. I can't talk
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 3: right now. A reward, a reward reward room. They discover
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 3: a reward room and it's filled with several options for
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 3: them to pick for a new pet. Sou so they
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 3: so they get a new achievement, the new achievement. I'll
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 3: I'll take the ceramic Dalmatian pat You've discovered You have
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 3: discovered a reward room. Scattered throughout the dungeon. Reward rooms
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 3: offer crawlers items generally not available within loop boxes. Most
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 3: reward rooms only allow one choice. So if you're in
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 3: a party of multiple people, tell them I said you
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 3: should get the prize, not them reward. Don't be a
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 3: greedy bitch. The goddamn room is in is the reward,
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 3: and then they get another they get another achievement. So
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 3: this chief, this next achievement like specifies the kind of
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 3: reward room they discovered. New achievement menagerie, you have discovered
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 3: a pet reward room. From caterpillars who secret who secrete vodka,
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 3: to vassilist who can turn mobs to stone, a good
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 3: pet can make the difference between survival and the end
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 3: of the road. Just remember what happened with Harambi, not
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 3: fucking Harambi.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: No harambe not harame.
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 3: There ain't no zoo keepers around to shoot the monsters.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 3: Ass If you buy off more than you can chew
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 3: reward you have you have a key. It opens only
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 3: one cage. Figure it out, Einstein, who all right, So,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 3: uh so they figure it out. So they got a key,
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 3: and they can open one of the kennels in the room,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 3: so they can pick. They can pick a pet. They
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 3: get a new pet, and uh so they so there's ten.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 3: There was ten cages. Carl didn't really think any of
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 3: them looked really impressive, mainly because, like they these pets,
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 3: I guess because they're on the second floor. The pets
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 3: don't really look that interesting. Yeah, so let's see here.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 3: The first animal was a parent thing with a long beak,
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 3: a jew it's called a juvenile ribbon wing. And then
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 3: the next one was a green slime, and then a rap,
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 3: and then a meatball with two legs and a mohawk
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 3: called a tummy archer. Tommy archers are actually very useful
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 3: in this game. H Of the first four, only the
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 3: slime in the rat had white dots. So the if
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 3: the dot on the map is red, it's they're an
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 3: enemy or they're a hostile and if they're white, that
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 3: means they're neutral. And then there was a row of
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 3: equally pitiful animals followed up, including a white tagged brindled grub.
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 3: So the brindle grubs are the ones that they that
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 3: turned into those murder hornets.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 3: The murdered hornets are are called brindled vespas. All thought
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 3: that the brindled vest that having a brindled vespa would
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 3: be a good choice because after fighting them, he knows
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 3: that they're pretty they would be pretty useful. Donut, on
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 3: the other hand, who was the who is because her
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 3: staffs are higher than carls, she gets the final She's
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 3: technically the party leader, so she gets the final say
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 3: of who gets to open the cage with the key. So,
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 3: and the thing is she noticed the the pet in
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 3: the very last cage, the tenth cage, which is a
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 3: which was a chicken dinosaur thing with pink downy feathers.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 3: It was ugly. That's an ugly.
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: Little thing and so great I love him.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 3: So here these are these are carls like internal this
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 3: is like this is the all first person, by the way,
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 3: from like the it's written from the first person. The
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 3: thing looked pitophal. I immediately saw why why don't liked it?
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 3: It landed firmly in the it's so damn ugly, it's
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 3: cute category. It was probably seven inches tall. It stood
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 3: on two legs and cocked its head at me. The
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 3: damn thing looks like a raw piece of chicken with
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 3: a few random pink hued feathers attached to it. It
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 3: had two tiny foe arms instead of wings, and a
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 3: long serpentine tael. It squawks, opening its beach's mouth, revealing
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 3: a row of tea. It was called a Mongolian esis,
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 3: a Mongolian Mongolian cis. I think it really did have
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 3: a stroke. It was also red tagged. I can't pronounce
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 3: that ship u h anyway. So let's see, Yeah, so
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 3: you can guess which one it? Which one donut chooses.
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: The murdered chicken, the murdered chicken.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 3: Yep. The thing is is that uh don'ut like they
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 3: don't have much time to like the donuts taking your time,
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 3: like making their decision, and they and there's like a
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 3: short time limit like when on how long they have
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 3: to pick a to pick a pet. If they don't
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 3: pick it, then sit out of luck, So of course
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 3: she picks the murder chicken. And the thing is that
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 3: the murder chicken is uh is hostile, so they have
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 3: to tame it, and it bites Donut a few times,
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 3: and Donut names the little Uh it's a dinosaur. It's
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 3: a dinosaur dinosaur, so yes, it is a dinosaur. And
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 3: Karl has to grab it and restrain it, and it's
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 3: still kind of hostile, and like after it bites, after
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 3: it bites Donut a couple of times, Karl has to
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 3: really like struggle not to laugh his ass off. Carl
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 3: reads a subscription UH male Mongolian Nieces level one. This
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 3: is a pet class mob. The pet has not yet
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 3: been bought with the crawler. The stubborn and hot headed
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 3: Mongolian Nieces is not. It is not the type of
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 3: pet to be to ever be pained. The best one
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 3: can hope for is mutual respect, and even then they
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 3: still might try to eat you if the fancy strikes them,
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 3: especially powerful, fast, and vicious when they're fully grown at
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 3: level fifteen. Getting them to level fifteen is about as
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 3: likely as a cheerleader from West Virginia reaching her eighteen
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 3: birthday as a Virgin they will immediately attack any mobs
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 3: they see. They will fight to the death. Good luck.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Carl was not happy that she chose the little
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 3: murdered chicken.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 3: But eventually they managed to take They managed to go
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 3: through the process of getting Mango, Mango the dinosaur to
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 3: bond with them. They have to actually they have to
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 3: let it like basically they have to feed it and
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 3: basically like it attack any mobs it comes across, this
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 3: tiny little murder chicken attacking mobs. It's cute. But they
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 3: do eventually bond to it, and later on they finally
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 3: figure out what kind of pet, what kind of dinosaur
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 3: it is. It's a velociraptor.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a velociraptor. I called it.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 3: I reading it.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: I'll let's do it.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's gonna be a velociraptor. Bet yep, yep,
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 2: sure was.
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 4: Sure fucking was mm hmm yep.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 2: Play with the feathers and everything, and I'm like, oh,
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 2: love it.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So they do eventually, So they have to. They
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 3: do have to spend the rest of their time on
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 3: the floor to taming Mango, but they eventually they eventually do,
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 3: and that's when they realize it's a velociraptor. And because
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 3: as they're attaining it, it's leveling up and starting to
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 3: get bigger. As it's getting bigger, it's feathers are starting
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 3: to like fill out more, and they start to realize, like,
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 3: wait a second, does that look familiar to you?
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 1: That's as.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 3: It's a velociraptor. So Mango is a male velociraptor, and
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 3: he actually becomes like a pivotal character to like as
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 3: part of the story. You know, he's he When he
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 3: gets to full to his full size at level fifteen, uh,
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 3: Donut ends up turning him into her mouth, so she'll
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 3: ride on his back into battle. Because Donut is a
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 3: caster shed she remains as like a caster type crawler,
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 3: so she doesn't really like fight that.
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah she's a glass Yeah she's a glass cannon.
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah do you do a lot of damage? But if
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 3: you if you smack her, she dies, yeah, pretty so much.
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 3: He so much as look at her wrong she does. Yeah, wizard,
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 3: he's like a D and D wizard.
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 2: These wizards out of this. I know where you're going
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 2: with that. Leave that out of it. Leave my glass
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 2: cannon out of it. She's she's a fucking sun but
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 2: tall power or lesbian, love her, leave her alone, thank you,
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 2: thank you.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 3: So the two of them do have a do go
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 3: on one final talk show with Odette before finally descending
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 3: into the third floor and permissions when they realized that
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 3: their little murdered chicken is a velociraptor and uh, they
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 3: now now they have a good idea of what they
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 3: want to be in terms of class, and uh, this
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 3: is where the book is going to end. Let's see,
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 3: I just want to let me look at like some
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 3: quick details, real quick. Okay, yep, they'll go on one
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 3: final talk show with Odette, and it's it's when they're
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 3: on the top. It's actually when they're on the talk
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 3: show that they're that their borring, their borring company assigned agent.
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 3: So uh, the so the showrunners, uh is the quats
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 3: In the Race of the quats In. But there's an
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 3: actual company with from the quats In that runs the
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 3: that actually runs the show, which and they're called the
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 3: it's called the Boran Company. And certain high value uh
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 3: like certain like high value crawlers, crawlers with a lot
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 3: of popularity, they get assigned an agent so their agents,
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 3: So Carlin don't get assign an agent named.
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 5: I love her.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 3: She's a younger quats In and she's actually pretty sympathetic
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 3: to their cause because like she she's not fully on
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 3: board with the dungeon crawl, but because of like the
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 3: very like fascist style regime that the that the Syndicate
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 3: runs on. Yeah, she has no she can't really like
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 3: be very outspoken about it, sadly, but she's sympathetic to them.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 3: She's very like she tries to help them as much
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 3: as she can. And uh she tells them about like
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 3: what uh what mango really is, and they learn a
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 3: few more things about uh, not just the Borant company,
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 3: but another company called the Vaulty. The Vaulta Company is
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 3: owned by another faction in the Syndicate, And uh, I
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 3: don't know what their actual species is called. They just
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 3: call them valty worms. So the Vaulta are like have
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 3: you ever seen Stargate?
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, like.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 2: The little parasites that like little worms are going people's
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 2: into hosts bodies, brains, and they kind of hijack them yep.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 3: Basically yeah most of the time, yeah, most of the time,
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 3: the Vaulty like they take they take willing hosts, but
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 3: acasionally the Volta will like sign contracts with people, so
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 3: like with some people and basically like you, they won't
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 3: get implanted with a Vaulty worm yet, but if that
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 3: person were to die, then their corpse will be given
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 3: to uh, their corpse will become property of the Volta
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 3: and the Volta Worm will like take over the corpse
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 3: and reanimate it so they can bring a person back
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 3: to life. But they're now under the total control of
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 3: the of that Vaulty worm. Yeah, so it's not really sure.
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 3: There's not there's not really I'm not really sure if
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 3: like that corpse is basically resurrected as they were, or
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 3: if like they're just dead and now the and now
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 3: the Vaulty Worm is just like running the show. Who knows.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 3: But there's like some po behind the scenes politics, like
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 3: we you'll you'll later learn that the Boran Company is
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 3: in a lot of debt, like the Quwatson in general
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 3: is in a lot of debt, mainly towards the towards
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 3: the Vaalty, and they Carlin don't learn. We'll later learn
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 3: that the Boran Company had rushed this season of The
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 3: Dungeon Crawls as like a cash grab because since they're
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 3: so in debt and they're about to become bankrupt and
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 3: their system is about to be repossessed by the vaulty
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 3: like seize their assets are about to be seized by
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 3: the VAULTA, so like one big hostel takeover. They were
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 3: hoping that this crawl would make them enough money to
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 3: like keep them out of like uh like keep them
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 3: from beginning having all their assets seized and keep their
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 3: autonomy and not get taken over by the Vaulte. So
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 3: they start you'll start to see some interference from like
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 3: the game, We'll start seeing interference from these other alien factions,
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 3: like the Skull Empire, like you know, the Orcs and
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 3: the Skull Empire. They tend they do some shady stuff.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 3: Later on, they almost assassinate Carl a couple of times
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 3: by trying to blow up his trailer because whenever they
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 3: get transported to like a talk show, they're not actually
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 3: transported to a studio across the galaxy. They're transported into
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 3: a kind of like a trailer on a boat on
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 3: the surface of Earth, and it's from there that they're
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 3: holographically broadcasted to the talk show, like like to the
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 3: actual talk show, so they're only like remotely being interviewed,
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 3: but they're not they're not actually physically there. And the
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 3: Skull Empire tries to assassinate Carl a couple like a
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 3: couple of times, but only manages to like kill somebody
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 3: else instead, and that puts them in deep ship.
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 2: Drama, political drama.
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 3: Some of the sponsors of other dungeon crawlers try to
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 3: like sneak in like information to give them the advantage
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 3: over Carl, and that causes like that's a big no no. Yeah,
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of drama this book. I have to
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 3: say it was it was really good. I was reading it.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 3: I was hooked, and uh, like, it was funny and
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 3: it's satirical. It's very like it's it's it's it's kind
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 3: of it's definitely like a it's holding up a mirror
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 3: to how like entertainment, the entertainment industry has become how
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 3: we like, especially with my with reality television, Like myself,
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 3: I hate reality TV. Like if I sort of got
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 3: if someone turns on to the Kardashian if I want
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 3: to just like I just want to throw a rock
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 3: at the TV.

• 2:19:28
  Speaker 3: A lot of them are like well off, rich or
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 3: like in better positions in life where you think like

  Speaker 3: Ye, I'm not sure if he watches reality shows. I
• 2:20:02

  Speaker 1: I'm sure he does at some point in his life.
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 3: I mean he watches YouTube a lot. So I mean
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 3: some YouTube. Yeah, there's a lot. There's some content on
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 3: YouTube that are pretty much reality shows. But yeah, So
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 3: that was Dungeon Crawler Carl. I love this series. I
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 3: binge this. I've binge read this series within two months.
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 3: I'm still on book seven right now. I'm still reading, uh,
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 3: The This Inevitable Ruin. So that's the seventh book. There
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 3: is an eighth book coming out in June of next year,
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 3: the The Parade of Horribles, that's what it's called.
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's funny because each like after Dungeon Crawler Carl,
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 3: each book has like the names of each book is like, uh,
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 3: it's pretty much gives away the theme of like what
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 3: they're dealing with in that floor, because after this book
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 3: one was just the first two floors. Yeah, all right,
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 3: the tutorial floors, all right. Book floor three is the
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 3: last is also a tutorial floor, but it's the very
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 3: last one, and it's the one that the that the
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 3: Dungeon Crawlers can start picking their races and their classes.
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 3: All right, So it's a lot more fun. We get
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 3: to see what class and race the two of them choose,
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 3: Carl and don't choose. The next book is gonna be
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 3: called the Dungeon Crawler, the Dungeon Anarchists. Oh no, no, no,
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, that's book three, Book two. I'm sorry. I
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 3: forgot I took my I was looking up at them
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 3: like I have them on my top shelf up here. Yeah,
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 3: I forgot. I took this one. I forgot. I was like, oh,
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 3: I took this one down, so I was looking at
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 3: the third one. No, okay, next, okay, So next time
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 3: we are gonna be reviewing book two, and that is
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 3: Carl's doomsday scenario. Yeah, so it's gonna be a lot
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 3: of fun. It's uh, I think I like after this one,
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 3: it's gonna become it's gonna be a lot more straightforward
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 3: in the story because this one had like a lot
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 3: of world building and had a lot of like it
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 3: set the stage of like the different alien races that
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 3: are involved, and also like the not just the dynamics
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 3: that go on in the dungeon, but also the dynamics
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 3: that go behind the scenes or like the backstage, right, yeah,
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 3: that goes on backstage. Now. I do want to point
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 3: out that if you buy these hard coffees, the Dungeon
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 3: Crawler series, especially the hard coffees, you can get them
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 3: at Barnes and Noble, or if you could be like me,
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 3: who's cheap, I buy them from Amazon because they're a
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 3: lot cheaper on Amazon. These hardcover books come with a
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 3: little extra at the end of each book. So I
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 3: don't know, does the ebook have that too, I don't.
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think, so what's the extra stuff at the end.
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 3: So the extra stuff at the end, so like right here,
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 3: there is bonus material for at the end of each book,
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 3: and it's for the backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret. Oh,
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 3: so I'm not gonna I'm I'm not going to review
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 3: this little snippet because I don't want to give any
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 3: spoils but spoilers, but it's like a but I'll just
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 3: give you an idea. Like after each floor, certain mobs
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 3: that they had interacted with or like major mobs that
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 3: they had to fight but may not have necessarily killed,
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 3: we'll get taken to the backstage and begin setting up
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 3: some sort of like new like level. I'm not gonna
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 3: go too further into details, but there's but in this one,
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 3: a pair of and this like from the first two levels,
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 3: a pair of a certain pair of Goblin shamans, a
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 3: party Lama, and a few other and a few other
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 3: mobs that they had encountered get taken to this backstage
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 3: area and and begin an opportunity to level up. So
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 3: if you want to read the bonus materials, you can
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 3: read it on these editions, the hardcover editions of the
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 3: Dungeon Crawler series. So like I have them all so far,
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 3: So I have all the hardcovers and each one has
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 3: the bonus material in it. So it's setting it's definitely
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 3: setting up for some sort of climatic, some sort of climax.
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 3: We don't I don't know exactly where it's taking but
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 3: so far like it's it.
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 2: What we'll probably do is, instead of doing the bonus
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 2: content after each at the end of each book, because
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 2: I'm sure some of them do have spoilers think I have,
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 2: we should probably do like a whole episode of just
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 2: strictly the bonus content because I don't know any of
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 2: this bonus content, because I'm pretty sure the audiobooks don't
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 2: have that.
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, no, I'm like, huh.
• 2:24:53
