  SPEAKER_05: How does how does one even get that?

  SPEAKER_00: Um, well, one writes a blog that no one reads for several years, and then one day the editor in chief of Fangoria emails them and wants them to write for them.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: So that's just the PSA kids.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: Keep doing what you're doing, even if no one gives a shit because someone else potentially will.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_03: Hell yeah.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_03: And blogging for sure works.

  SPEAKER_03: Uh, I'm a software engineer.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody who who blogs, they have a uh history of their ability on the internet.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, well, maybe I'll have to go dust off my website.

  SPEAKER_05: It's just oh, I hate blogging.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_05: You have to do it anyway.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_05: Why can't I just get drunk and babble on a podcast?
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_05: Why can't someone just give you a job?
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, right.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_05: Why can't I just say I have a job?
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_05: Well, again, thank you so much.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_05: So, for those of you who are joining us for the first time, this is how high and dry works.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_05: We start every episode off with a philosophical debate, a little moral conundrum, something to think about, and then it devolves into a fist fight, as those things often do.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_05: But before we do that, what sets us apart and makes us so damn special is first we gotta get a little drunk and we gotta get a little high.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_05: So, James, speaking of high, what are you smoking this week?
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, I have a wonderful strain this week.

  SPEAKER_03: Uh a new one.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_03: I don't have a new one for a while.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's called Northern Lights.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_03: Very popular.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, what's that like?
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, it's a real strong body high.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_03: It just kind of really mellows you out.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_03: And it's a creeper, too, so about halfway through the episode, I should I should get another boost.
• 4:18
  unknown: Okay.

• 9:27
  SPEAKER_05: That was insane.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, cool.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_05: So um, so for this one, I was kind of stuck between do we want to do a self-discovery one?
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_05: Do we want to do something?
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_05: Sorry, excuse me.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_05: No, it's all good.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_05: We got belching and coughing all over the place.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_05: Well, you can cough.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: We're so disgusting.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_05: You guys make me sick.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, so um, but I I decided on one uh maybe kind of sort of raised the spirits a little bit.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_05: Things are tough all over the place right now, you know, New York flooding, reproductive rights under attack in Texas.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_05: So maybe just a lot of people.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_05: So many people dying in it.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_05: It's ridiculous.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_05: So the one I have for you guys today, the question is what about life?
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_05: You can take that however you want.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_05: Do you value most?
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_05: What do you value most about life?
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_05: Guests first.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_05: Alyssa, what do you think?
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_05: What do you value most about life?
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um, okay.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'll just preface this by saying that I live by like the typo negative philosophy of like, I didn't ask to be made.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: So like keep that in mind, right?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like I didn't ask to be made, and I didn't ask to be raised in a certain way and you know, molded to think as I do.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: But I guess less a really less cheap, easy answer would be um creativity.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: I think we differ a lot from different species because we are so creative and we do constantly seek out a purpose.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: And so many of us find our purpose in creativity.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I guess that's what I value most about life.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_05: No, well, it's really difficult then, because I mean I I I definitely feel that.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, I'm working on this podcast, I'm trying to write a book, I'm you know dedicating time and a very busy life to do this thing just for the sake of creativity.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_05: Um, so many of us value that so much while simultaneously being part of a society that doesn't.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_05: And that I that's very difficult, and I think that's something I've been at odds with most of my life.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I think it that kind of reinforces the idea that uh how our society functions isn't really reflective of the people within it.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_03: Because we have a desire for the expression of creativity, clearly.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_03: I mean we many people have a great desire for creativity, and people have the desire to consume creativity.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but it's really the structure of society that prevents it.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_03: And it's that structure has been upheld and controlled by a few.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_03: It's not really the majority.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: You're making me sad again.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: Damn.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm sorry, but I think it's positive.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_05: Now look, I brought this up more than once on the show.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_05: A secret cult of wrist blade-wielding assassins.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_05: That wasn't your idea.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_05: Someone already came up with that.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_03: And they used it to make money.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna use it to bring my creativity.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_03: I think the I think the hopeful part about that is that the majority would prefer to have creativity rewarded.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, to express that.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: You know, uh, we just have to find a way to do that.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, those in power are all like, what?
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, they gotta be in their 80s now.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_05: There's a lot of them, yeah.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean, like every time you see people.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_05: Their kids are gonna take it over, though, you know.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_05: God damn it.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_05: Well, thanks a lot, Alyssa, for making a super fucking song.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: You're just like, yeah, the power structure of society.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just like, I just said what I valued of a life.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: Of waking up every day.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_03: Welcome to the podcast.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_03: We're gonna destroy your dreams and hopes.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_03: But no, I think it's a really positive thing.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_03: I I really liked it.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry we took it to a negative place, but I really like it.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, no, I I appreciate it too.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_05: Well, it's interesting what you said about um what did you call it?
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_05: Um just the whole concept that you know you did not consent to being born.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, typo negative, like like butt rock, like goth rock band from the 90s that I like low-key worship.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like Peter Steele like constantly wrote about existence and death and like contemplating suicide and how women are terrible.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, line's just like, I did not ask to be made, and like you really think about that, it's like shit.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't, so I should probably just do whatever the fuck I want, like within reason, right?
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'm kind of just born and then expected to do stuff, and then I'm like let off my leash to figure shit out, and it's terrible.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: Hey kid, you want a job?
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_03: I know you're only one year old.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_05: You want to fight the rest of your life for a job.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_05: Hell yeah, I do.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_05: Well, so that put like it just makes me think of so.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, I don't in the beginning, we toasted the timeless sandworms everywhere.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_05: And it was just it was a previous episode, and it's sort of a joke that's hung around where we realized that all of our parents are these timeless sandworms, like referencing Dune, the novel, and they just cruise around, you know, trying to figure out how they want to affect the world with their bullshit, and then want to pass on their bullshit to their parents before they kill themselves.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_05: And then we're like, I don't want your bullshit.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_05: It makes you want to kill yourself.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we kill it.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_05: And so it's just that's just interesting.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so that's fun.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_05: That's that's tons of fun.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_05: I'm so sad.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_05: I'm so sad now.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_05: Another shot's coming.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_05: Um, so uh Happy Juice.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we have happy juice coming.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_05: So, James, what about you?
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_05: What do you value most about life?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, I was thinking about this a little bit, and I think that I value you know it's so weird.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_03: I'm somewhere between an extrovert and introvert.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_03: I know that people don't fall into two categories, but some people are unless they're on Facebook.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm sorry, yeah.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_03: People are dichotomies.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_03: There are two people in this world.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_03: Um but you know, of course, uh, it's a spectrum, but there's people who are much more extrovert than introvert.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know what I am.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_03: I have no fucking clue.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: What would you call me?
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_03: Um an introverted extrovert.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_03: I would call myself real picky.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_03: Um uh real picky about social interaction, but also that kind of social interaction is what I live for.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it's it it brightens up my day when I interact with people who I enjoy interacting with.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I, you know, was for a long time always had a very small group of friends who I loved interacting with.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_03: And now that I'm a software engineer and Twitch streamer and all those things, I've really branched out into interacting with so many people.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, people just hit me up all the time.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: And if it's people I enjoy, I get the biggest endorphin rush in the world.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_03: Uh it really keeps me going a lot of the time.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_03: I really love the connections I've made with people.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, well that's it.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_03: That's it.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: I can't relate.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: Fucking weirdo.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm just like, you're not introverted at all.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like a human like cat.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just like, I like one person and that's it.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_05: Then I just chill.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_05: Honestly, I would say now I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about it for a minute.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_05: I I would say that, yeah, you're extroverted.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I guess.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I definitely am.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_03: But but I've literally said, okay, I'm gonna leave now to people who were talking to me and just then just walked away.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_03: You've seen me do that.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_05: That's a question of choosing, well, one, choosing your battles or choosing where you want to expend the energy of your life.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_03: And if it's just you have boundaries, James.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_03: No, no, no.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_03: They weren't bad at all.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_03: They were just like, hey, how's it going?
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_03: You know, and uh, and it was like the conversation was just really boring.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_03: And I was like, okay, I'm gonna see what's happening over here.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_04: I just I just walked away.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_05: I do that a lot.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean, so like as far as an extrovert goes, I mean, if you're going by that definition.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_05: I guess that's pretty extroverted.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_05: Well, where you take nourishment from a social interaction, uh, not all calories are the same.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_05: You know?
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_05: Empty calories on the conversation, I gotta get out of here.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, sorry, I'm all found up.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_03: I'm already a fat piece of shit.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_03: I gotta get out of here.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_05: Solid, solid.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_05: Um, and then uh, I guess uh for me, the thing I value most.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_05: Um God.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, boring.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, right.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_05: Um I mean, uh you stole the creativity one.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_05: Um so now I have to come to come up with something else I value.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_05: We can share.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_03: I could disagree.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_03: I could disagree.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_03: You can just agree.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_03: You can just agree.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, no, I gotta say, yeah, definitely.

  SPEAKER_03: America.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_03: Um politics as usual.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_03: Uh the United States, global capital, these are the things that give my life value.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: Cheers to Matt.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_03: Look at all if my if I didn't have these things, I might as well fucking kill myself.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_05: Um, yeah, no, I'd have to say for me, yeah.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_05: The thing I value most to you would be my ability to create something.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_05: Um yeah, for sure.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I agree with you entirely.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_05: That's my straight answer.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_05: My right to bear arms.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_05: And by that I mean a pair of grizzly arms.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that you've got it.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that I wear.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_05: Awesome.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_05: All right.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_05: So uh, well, so Alyssa, back to you.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_05: Any final thoughts on the topic?
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_05: Anything that you want to add?
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_00: It depresses me to think about life.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_03: You know, that's so it's so easy to get that way.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's like I can be very positive.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: I can be like, you know, superficially positive about life and like, oh, it's all about like learning experiences and bettering yourself and you know, challenging your views.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: But like at the end of the day, we're all gonna die.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like you gotta do what you gotta do to be happy with the time you have.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm very aware of my timeline.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, no, that is uh, I mean, that'll be a fun one to ask.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_05: Just how do you feel about your own mortality?
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_05: Another time.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but another time.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_05: That's for another episode.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_05: Well, so that's just interesting.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_05: Because so this weekend over the four-day, I wound up uh I watched, I saw Candyman, the Jordan Peel film.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_05: Amazing.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_05: Well, so like he was very clear the point.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: It was actually directed by Nia DeCosta, Ryan.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: Jordan Peel just produced it.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: Uh well Burn.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_03: Sick burn.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: Woman splane.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's woman's plain, do you, Ryan?
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_03: Well, this is what happens when you get an industry professional.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, there you go.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, well, so then that's also indicative of who they're pushing out there to sell that thing.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_05: Um, but uh it was very clear the message they were trying to get across.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_05: You know, um, so as far as so I mean, just as far as like racial disparities, we're talking about women's rights in Texas, we're talking about the global climate change situation, all these things that you know I want to do something about, but I'm poor, you know, and there's just this wall you kind of walk into where, as like a poor person, your option is to die.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_03: Well, money is speech, according to the law.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_03: So some people just have more speech than others.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_03: Why don't you get over it?
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_03: You know, because you're getting drowned out right now by a whole bunch of speech, literally making it rain with speech right now.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_03: It's so green.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so it's trying to talk over all this motherfucking speech.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so it's oh, it brings you down a little bit.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_05: Well, James, what about you?
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_05: Final thoughts?
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_04: Ah, whatever.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, I'm doing my best.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_04: Living my best life.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, just trying to do the best.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_03: We talked about how you know you gotta try to, if you're gonna leave a legacy, leave a good legacy, not one that's that's you know, if you have if you have goals that you can't achieve in your lifetime, make that your legacy.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_03: But you have to leave it for people, you have to make it a legacy that people want.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_03: You know?
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_03: Um legacy.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_03: Is a real tough topic.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_03: We've talked about it a lot on this show.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_03: You know, the passage of time and and what that means for not just you, but every ripple in society that you have that you've made.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_03: Do you put your shopping cart back where it belongs?
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_03: Well, if you didn't teach it, if you weren't taught to do it as a kid, it's really hard to talk about it, you know?
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_00: I yell at people who don't do it.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: I literally like stalk people down.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm 5'9.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: I got some long ass legs.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: I just like night stalker their ass in the parking lot.

• 22:55
  SPEAKER_05: I'll I'll roll down the window and just yell at you.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_05: You know, I'm not ready to I'm not ready to get, I don't want my legacy to be stabbed in a Smith's parking lot.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_03: I would I would carry around a giant check for like$20,000 and I'd wait for people to like not put their card away, and I'd be like, oh my gosh, you know, you were the you were the one millionth customer at this store, and we're gonna get it.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_03: So put their card away.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_03: But but we were but we expected you to put your card away, and we just can't give it to you now.

  SPEAKER_03: And just do that to like a bunch of people.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_03: I'd really enjoy it.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe that'll maybe that'll change personal investment.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_03: I'd just to see their faces, you know, and put a little idea of personal investment in the anger and disappointment in themselves or being a piece of shit.
• 23:40

  SPEAKER_05: All right, well, that being said, it's time to devolve this bad boy into a fist fight.
• 23:55

  SPEAKER_05: Alright, so welcome to High Drive.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_05: This is how this works.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_05: We have a three-round method guaranteed to get you the most accurate results in who would win between your favorite nerd characters.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_05: It's a three-round method.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_05: Round one, these characters entered into a legally distinct Fight Club Gen X bar basement where they just punch it out pound for pound and we see who wins.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_05: Round two, we zoom out into a city view where these characters now have 24 hours to get at the other one.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_05: They can do that with all the things now that they have access to that make them who they are, or they just go out and buy a shotgun.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_05: The world is theirs.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_05: You can see a lot of shotguns on this one.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_05: Glenn Close, buying a shotgun to kill Emma Watson.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_05: Um, I'd watch it.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_05: But um, and then we have round three, where it's the same thing as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_05: So, moving into round one, we have just entered the Gen X Fight Club bar room that's legally distinct from the actual fight club.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_05: Our legally distinct Brad Pitt, played by Val Kilmer.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_05: Sue a style Kilmer don't give a shit.

  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, go ahead.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_05: All right.

• 27:33
  SPEAKER_05: Uh meanwhile, in the box seats, a timeless sandworm has just written Cher and Carl Urban in.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_05: The philosophers of high and dry are now taking their seats.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_05: We're ready to get this fight on.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_03: I love that the worm is writing Cher and Carl Urban carrying the work.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_03: It's Cher.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_05: Cher's doing a load of the work.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_05: You know, she just wants to get there and get this done.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_05: All right.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_05: And they're of course listening to the Believe album.

  SPEAKER_05: So can we please get on with the violence?
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_05: So we've just kicked off round one.

  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_05: Okay, I've been drinking.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_05: All right, let's get it on.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_05: Annie Wilkes.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_05: So drunk.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, 101 Dalmatians against misery.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_03: So there was some dispute about the reality of our uh inebriation before this podcast started.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_03: I hope that you're I hope that you're satisfied, Alyssa.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm getting there.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm getting there.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_00: When I'm like tearing up with laughter, I will be convinced that you two are blitzed.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, let's get down.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, let's get to it.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_05: High pressure.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_05: So what do you think, Alyssa?
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, so guests first, what goes down?
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_05: Punch for punch, pound for pound, Annie Wilkes versus Cruella Deville.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_05: Take us there.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, so when I think of Cruella, I think of the animated version.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking crazy spiral eyes, like the ever the everlasting cigarette in the holder, the square faced jawl, the stinky, sweaty stench of old gin that she just emanates, I'm sure.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I think I think Ro whips out one of her iconic cigarettes and sticks it in Annie's face.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_05: She doesn't get an item.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_05: Val Kilmer.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_01: Val Kilmer is very thorough.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_03: Whatever powers she has innately.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, if she can use the force, then yeah, if she has the force, she can use it.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_00: Well, she does have smokers cough.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_00: Brutal.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, all right.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: So keep that in mind.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_00: Smokers cough.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_00: She's vicious.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_00: She's street savvy.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: Then we have Annie Wilkes.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_00: Miss Higher Than Vou.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_00: I don't swear.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_00: You're a ninny head.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_00: Gada yada yada.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_00: I don't wear makeup.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_00: Little house.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_03: The the no profanity thing really creeps me out.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_00: Kathy Bates deserved that Oscar.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_00: So those two are automatically polar opposites.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: So Corella takes that to her advantage and just gets real nasty with it.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_00: She like grabs Annie and just like in the most inappropriate way.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: So Annie's like, oh my goodness, good Lord Jesus.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_00: Get your hands off the youth center.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_00: And then Girl looks like, I'm here to get down, I'm here to win.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_00: You know, she's scrappy.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then she just holds her down and just unleashes a smoker's cough into Annie's face.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_00: Chokes her to death of their smokers.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm talking stam, stink, cigarette butt, spittle, everything.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_00: And Annie's just so flabbergasted, so agost at what this woman is doing to her.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: This drug addict, what she's doing to her.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_00: Till Annie gets so red in the face that her dragon comes out.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_00: Annie Wilkes a dragon.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'll only look at you two.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, alright.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_05: Well, so James, thoughts?
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_03: What do you think goes down?
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_03: I think Annie Wilkes uses her superior weight to dominate Cruella.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_03: She may get that smoker's cough in her face, but Annie Wilkes is gonna like break skinny Cruella in half.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_03: She's a woman who lives by herself in the fucking woods, has to like take care of her hopes and homestead.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_03: And she's gonna do get her at her strongest.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_05: Do get her at her strongest.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, yeah, now for me, yeah.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_05: When he brought up the dragon, I'm thinking that you know Corella's gonna try her darndest, as Annie would put it.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_05: Um, but then eventually Cruella's gonna go too far.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_05: And I mean, when you have like you have Castle Rock and you just see how on the edge of homicidal Jenny Wilkes is.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_05: She's killed many people.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_05: She's killed like 30 people.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_05: That's true.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, Cruella's killed a lot of puppies.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_05: A lot of puppies.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_05: A significant number of animals.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_05: A significant number of animals.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_00: 101, to be exact.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_05: Two and three if we're talking about the other uh, you know, the other installments.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_05: But um I would uh yeah, I would say that uh Drowning Puppies does not compare to having a homicidal, raging Kathy Bates in her prime coming at you just full bore.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_03: I love I love that you call misery the movie Kathy Bates' prime.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know how she'd feel about that.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_05: I I mean I I I mean I feel just in that movie as far as physically.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, we I'd have a tough time if she was in the ring with Tyson.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_03: I you think she could I mean she she like I said, woman on a homestead, she has to like take care of herself.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_03: My mom like lived out in a rural place and she was like tiny, but she was strong as shit.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_03: She said leave giant bruises on my arms because she'd she'd punch me whenever she'd make a joke.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_03: She was like four foot eleven, my arm.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_03: You know, or when I didn't bring the dishes back, or she'd tell she'd tell a joke and then fucking slug me in the arm.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_03: That was my mom, everybody.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_04: 98 pound wall.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_03: It was reported several times.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_03: I got caps out because she didn't do shit.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_05: Wow.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, alright.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_05: Well, um, so final thoughts.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_05: Coming back to you, Alyssa, final thoughts and a vote.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_05: What do you think happens?
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, well, you make Annie Wilkes sound like a a buffalo or something, but she does know how to sling an axe, and I feel like Corilla's more more comfortable with you know, good old-fashioned drowning or a gun.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_00: So I think Annie would take the first round.
• 34:17
  unknown: Yeah.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_03: She tried to drown her in her smoker's cough spits.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_03: It didn't work, though.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_03: It's not enough, couldn't get enough.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_03: She didn't have enough Smith Lemoner.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_05: Well, James, uh your final thought.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think anyone mistakes it, yeah.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_05: See, and I would even go further in that moment where Cruella tries to tackle her.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_05: She just bounces off of her.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_05: And then Annie Wilkes goes on like this macho man Randy Savage.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_05: Woo! Not Rick Flex.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_05: But but she just gets in her face and starts talking about this Sunday and then just breaks her in half, and that's the end of it.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_05: Um, that's where I'm coming.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so alright, so round one is just straight across the board.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_05: This one is going to Annie.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_05: Which brings us into round two.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_05: We've now entered into the City View.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_05: These characters have received a manila envelope underneath their apartment doors.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_05: They now know that they have 24 hours to kill the other one.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_05: What do we think is gonna go down?
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_05: Guests first, Alyssa, what do you think?
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_05: Now she's got her jump button over there.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_05: She's got stuff.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, she has stuff.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm thinking of the cartoon Corella, once again, and her like 1930s, 1940s, like really jittery car that she drives like a mad woman.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't think she really is um strategic about it.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: She just drives straight through Annie Wilkes' house.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now I take I take pause and acknowledge that Annie Wilkes lives in a very rural area and she would probably be successful if it was in the summer, not the winter, because of the snow.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so with that in the air, she either gets plowed by the car or Cruella gets stuck in the snow and has to dig herself out, thus leaving her vulnerable to sneaky Annie.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_03: So we got like a 50-50 here for Cruella then.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_03: So we're gonna have to tackle it.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_03: Can Annie turn she turn it around?
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_03: Um I have I have some suggestions.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_03: Um so the version of Cruella that none of us are familiar with apparently has some powers.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_03: Referring to Glenn Close.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_03: No, the one from I Ohn Close.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_03: It's Glenn Close, yeah.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_03: We're all familiar with yeah.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean, but we're familiar with Glenn Close's powers.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_05: She's a time wizard.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_05: That's true.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_05: Um, Glenn Close just got added.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_04: No.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_04: It's so please no.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_04: The universe is too big.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck you, Scars Guards.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_04: World building.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, um, so let's see.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_03: Uh so she's got power, she can control animals.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_03: And we have ruled in the past that controlling animals is not asking for a friend.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_03: Glenn Close?
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_03: Once upon a time, Kwala, god damn it.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_03: I wouldn't be surprised about it.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Jesus Christ, it threw me off.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_03: So she has the power to control animals.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_03: Controlling animals is totally fine at second level.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_03: I think I think I like the crash in the car.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_03: So in the winter, uh, she has the opportunity to use animals to attack Annie.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, hard.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_03: But Annie, real good with a sledgehammer.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_03: Um very good.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_03: Very good with a sledgehammer.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_03: She's a big thing.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_00: If her victim is tied down, mind you.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_03: Uh oh, she also killed a police officer with a shotgun.
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_03: Um and shotgun's pretty powerful.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_03: And anybody's animals.
• 38:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 38:08
  unknown: Wow.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 38:09
  unknown: Okay.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_03: Um damn.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_03: But also, oh no, money, you can't buy people, but she does have money.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_03: What could she do with money?
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_03: Could she s well, money is a superpower all on its own.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_03: She could buy her own shotgun.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_03: She'd kill herself firing it.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_03: She'd she'd break her fucking arm firing it.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_05: She's so thin.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_05: Tough call.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, well, for me, I mean, I would say.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, so look, Glenn Close is coming in hot with fucking Disney princess powers, a serious smoking cough, and a car that I wasn't even thinking about.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_05: I was thinking about the car.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_05: Um, and I started to wonder, like, did Emma did Emma Watson miss stone.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, and a stone.
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_05: Emma's stone.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_05: So many Emmas and Glens and anyway.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_05: Um, did she miss something in her you know, portrayal of the character?
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the character wasn't crazy.
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, the character was not you know, this is actually something that I that I complain about with with some Disney movies recently, is they won't let fucking villains be bad anymore.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_04: Uh so some people just fucking suck.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_05: Like she literally murders puppies.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_05: So people just fucking suck.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_05: Fucking Dalmatian coats aren't even in demand.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_05: That was great.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_05: She just gets her rocks off murdering puppies.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_03: But just an obsessive self- she's a self-obsessed person in the original cartoon and book.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_00: She is a fashion designer and she craves the best and the most unique, and she needs to be a fashion icon, so she needs a real Dalmatian coat.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_00: As you can tell, I know.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean, then it'd be fucking like 101 chinchillas, you know, something that's actually valuable.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_03: It's just uh, yeah, she just doesn't because she's evil.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_03: She does it because she's real self-interested, and but I but in the Cruella movie, they had to make Emma Stone's character, or they had to make Cruella like uh Gen Z who's getting into college and ready to tackle their degree in fashion design.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_03: I think Disney I think Disney's just priming us all to empathize with the villain with the rich villains.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's just what they're priming us for.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_03: Damn it.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_03: Son of a bitch.
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_04: Um Get out of my head, Disney! Walt Disney's racist fuck.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_05: Um yeah, then for me, so alright, so I think with the with the squirrels coming at her, Annie's just gonna pull out an umbrella, you know, like they should have done in birds and come at, you know, fucking Annie with the well no, I'm getting my people mixed up.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_05: Cruella with a fucking axe.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_05: And um but you know.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_05: What do you think?
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_05: You gotta vote.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_05: Well, not a vote yet.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_05: We gotta come back.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_05: Those are my thoughts.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_05: Those are my thoughts.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_05: Well, so back to the guest, we need your final thoughts and a vote, Alyssa.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_05: What do you think?
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, so while Cruella sent out her squirrels and birds to attack Annie, who is panicked?
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_00: Who is panicked?
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_00: Because she's on her home turf.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_00: She thought she got this, you know, done pat taken care of.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_00: Cruella managed to dig out her car.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because she had a bag of kitty litter and her trunk.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_00: So she put that underneath the tires, dug out her car in the snow, she's behind the wheel, and she just rams into Annie Wilkes, knocking her down on her ass.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_03: Car death seems really solid to me because that was a pretty hectic part of the cartoon.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_03: I like that.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_05: Um, Annie versus car.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_05: So is yeah, so that's your vote then for.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, look, look, we are talking Kathy Bates in her prime.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_05: She's gonna grab the front of that vehicle and just fucking stall it.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_03: She's gonna flip it.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_05: She's gonna flip it.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_03: She's gonna shake, she's gonna shake Glencloth out of the car.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_05: No, I mean, that's back when she was lineman for the bears.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_00: I I think uh she's um I think of her in the water boy too.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, pretty common.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_00: As mama, she is, you know, in the indestructible.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_05: Kathy Bates energy.
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_05: A lot of Kathy Bates energy.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_05: And then if if Kathy Bates can't figure out how to get to you physically, she'll make you eat people, like in that one, in like was it fried green tomatoes, or what was it?
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_05: So, um, well, James, final thoughts in a vote.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_03: Um's real tough.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I gotta go with I gotta go with Cruella because I think that's uh I don't think any I don't think Annie Wilkes would go out and hunt down Cruella, and I think Cruella would totally she's a bad driver.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_03: She would she would she might accidentally hit Annie with her car.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's just as likely as her doing it purposely.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_05: Um then the only thing that I would add is that I see a scenario here where Annie's gonna get that envelope underneath the door, and she's gonna see that as there's a person out there who's trying to interfere with her way of life and like her way to the good place and the smiling place, and she's gonna like Agent 47 style poison Cruella's fucking food or champagne or whatever's come into her high-end, you know, rich people place while she's murdering puppies.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_05: So I do see a scenario where Annie, you know, assassins her, but I think seven times out of ten, she's gonna get hit by a car.
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_05: I think so.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_05: Her gin fuel crawls gin fuel.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_05: So round two goes to Cruella.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_05: So congratulations, Cruella, on that.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_05: Pull another one out for yourself.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_05: Moving us into round three.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_05: We are still in the City View, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_05: So guests first, Alyssa.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_05: What do you think happens?
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_05: Who are they bringing?
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_05: What goes down?
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_00: Can it be one friend or two friends?
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_05: Just one.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_00: Just one.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_00: So Corella is known to have two henchmen, but the other one was sick at home.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_00: So she only has one henchman to do her dirty work.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_00: So after Annie is, you know, pent up in bed after experiencing a very traumatic car accident, the henchman goes to Annie Wilkes' house and attempts to smother her.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_00: But little does the henchman know that Annie's faking it.
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_00: And she gets up on him and then ties him down and relives a little thing called miserable.
• 45:19
  SPEAKER_00: What's it called?
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_00: Is it like nobling?
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_00: What's it called?
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_00: Shit cobbling.
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_05: Hobbling, yeah.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_00: Hobbling.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_05: She cobbles in a pair of shoes.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_00: And then beats him to death with the cobble shoes.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_00: Hobbling.
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_00: So she hobbles Corella's henchman.
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_03: And so he didn't have anyone watching his back.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: So Corella is just like Annie's really smart.
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_00: She shows up expecting to have you know Annie dead on the floor, but no, her henchman's dead on the floor.
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then she looks up and sees dun dun dun.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_00: What does she see, James?
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, I would say that she sees Cujo because same world, same world same Stephen King world.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_05: Stephen King has made it very clear that you could jump to mentions in his world.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_03: Um I'm pretty sure we're gonna have a dub that gets revenge.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's a solid theme.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, fuck.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_05: Wow.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_03: You're welcome.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_03: Damn.
• 46:29
  SPEAKER_03: Just came up with that.
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_05: Damn.
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_05: See, but that's why we go to improv every Friday.
• 46:34
  SPEAKER_05: For me, obviously, I mean, you yeah, you guys were spot on on that one.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_05: The only thing I was gonna say was that I felt that Annie was going to bring the hotel from fucking uh well uh Dr.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_05: Sleep.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_05: The Shining.
• 46:55
  SPEAKER_05: The Shining, yeah.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_05: She was gonna bring the hotel demon, the hotel demon of the Shining.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_05: And, you know, we're gonna have that.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_05: That would be a fucking awesome scene where Cruella's like at the bar and like the hotel demon is like uh, you know, talking like some you know, wintry night, just talks Cruella into alcoholism, and then Annie Wokes just murders you all with an axe.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_03: Um be very on theme for the for the Overlook Hotel.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right?
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_05: Um and then for Cruella, I mean the only one.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_03: Just having friends.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean, I guess Darth Vader, Disney.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_05: Um Cujo's still gonna win.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean Cujo, yeah, would still take him out.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, um I mean, well, so uh so I think no matter who you bring, because the only people that Cruella could bring from Disney would be villains thematically.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_05: Um and so no matter who you bring, as far as villains are concerned, if if uh Annie is bringing the Overlook Hotel, the Overlook Hotel is going to destroy your partner.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, even if it's if it's fucking Darth Vader sitting there at the bar, he'd start crying over C3PO in fucking Obi-Wan.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_05: And then Annie would murder Darth Vader with an axe.
• 48:11
  unknown: Yeah.
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_05: Or she would be able to do it.
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, I would too.
• 48:15
  SPEAKER_05: He would, she would, cobble him.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_01: Cobble, cobble, cobble.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_05: Um, and so yeah, I I think that just, you know, Annie's gonna take it.
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_05: She has the Stephen King universe to draw upon, whereas Stephen King is putting out villains that survive off of their villainy, and Disney's just theme would be overrun.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_05: Um, well, so uh Alyssa, final thoughts?
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_05: What do you think's gonna happen, and what's your vote?
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_00: But can villains trust other villains?
• 48:49
  SPEAKER_00: Hell yeah.
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_00: Because every villain has its own self-interest.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_00: So who's to say that the hotel won't just take Annie instead of Corella?
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_05: Which might happen after the fact.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_05: But if someone KOs the other person first, yeah, that's a rat.
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_00: If the hotel wins the hotel wins, it still wins.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, I'm gonna give it to I'm gonna give this to Annie just because the hotel, obviously, but then Cujo, it's just the the poetic justice of a dog killing Corella.
• 49:25
  SPEAKER_05: I just thought of the second theme of that.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_05: All of Kuja, they were trapped in a fucking car.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_03: Ooh, get her in the car.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_05: She can't even get out of the car.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_03: Interesting.
• 49:37
  SPEAKER_03: There we go.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_03: And we just rewrote Kujo.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we just, yeah.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_03: Don't get any fucking ideas.
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Disney.
• 49:48
  SPEAKER_01: Turn your phones off.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_01: They're listening.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_03: Stephen King shaking hands with a Disney exact, like, fuck! They made Cujo and Annie Wilkes like super, you know, like relatable.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_03: We gotta forget, we gotta forgive them.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_03: They're origin stories.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, Cujo's a hit as a puppy.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so now he's a demon.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we see him being rescued, and yeah, yeah, it's great.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_05: Oh jeez.
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's really touching, you know, Marley and me.
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_05: Cujo in me.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_05: It's too sad.
• 50:22
  SPEAKER_03: They bring back Owen Wilson.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_03: They, oh my god, it's just like the Cujo in me, they take him all the way up to the point where he's the demon dog and then cut out the other movie, and then come back to Morning as death.
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_04: They just cut out the whole events of the Cujo movie.
• 50:39
  SPEAKER_05: Like Cujo bought a PR department.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_04: He's just dead.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my god.
• 50:49
  SPEAKER_04: Uh there was that thing with that car, but we really loved it.
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_03: We just skim over that.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yada yada yada.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_03: Well, uh, James, final thoughts in a vote.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_03: Um, really happy to give it to Annie Wolf's on this one.
• 51:11
  SPEAKER_05: At this point, I I don't even think Annie's getting out of the house.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_05: I I I don't even think she's aware.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_04: If it like Kujo se scare it all.
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, if it weren't for the fucking letter in the mail, she'd be like, huh.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_05: And she looks out into the front driveway where Cruella's being devoured.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_05: And then Owen Wilson's there.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_05: Wow.
• 51:34
  unknown: Wow.
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_05: And then he gets devoured by Kujo.
• 51:39
  SPEAKER_05: Uh yeah, no, that sounds uh, yeah, it's pretty succinct to me.
• 51:43
  SPEAKER_05: Uh perfect.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_05: I can't find any holes in it.
• 51:45
  SPEAKER_05: The champion! Here's to Annie Wilkes and Cujo.
• 51:49
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, you're taking a chance to those of you at home who have the high and dry podcast shot glass.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_05: I'm only going up to the podcast.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_05: There's a line.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_03: There's a line on the blast.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_05: Ah, cheers.
• 52:06
  SPEAKER_05: Here's Danny Wilkes, Cujo, and all the others.
• 52:09
  SPEAKER_05: Gorilla and one of her unnamed hates.
• 52:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yep.
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_04: The one that wasn't sick.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, Darth Vader might change the Cujo story.
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, well, I don't know.
• 52:25
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think so.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_03: But that's it.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_03: Kujo's still a demon dog.
• 52:28
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's still a demon dog.
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I mean, it was just rabies.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_03: Was it just rabies?
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_05: Oh.
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_00: It was Stephen King.
• 52:34
  SPEAKER_00: Stephen King rabies.
• 52:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, which is demonic.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 52:39
  SPEAKER_00: Hardcore rabies.
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_05: Well, and I I think that if even still, I think that if Cruella went so far within her company to bring back Darth Vader, I think Annie Wilkes would bring the gunslinger.
• 52:52
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, there you go.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, then that'd be the end of that.
• 52:55
  SPEAKER_05: So the gunslinger.
• 52:58
  SPEAKER_05: Next week.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, so.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_05: Well, there you have it, folks.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_05: Glenn Close took it.
• 53:04
  SPEAKER_05: No, she didn't.
• 53:05
  SPEAKER_05: No, she didn't.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_05: Kathy Bates took it.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_03: My bad.
• 53:08
  SPEAKER_03: God, you're so drunk.
• 53:10
  SPEAKER_03: You're drunk.
• 53:10
  SPEAKER_03: I hate it when you get like this.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_03: I'm leaving.
• 53:16
  SPEAKER_03: I hate it when he gets like this.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_03: We're all leaving.
• 53:19
  SPEAKER_05: When you start confusing Kathy Bates with Glenn Close, yeah, because yeah, you've been drinking a little bit.
• 53:25
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, don't you leave me?
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_05: Kathy Bates and Glenn Close are obviously different women.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_05: That's true.
• 53:34
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously.
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_05: I don't even know what's happening anymore.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_05: I'm so scared.
• 53:42
  SPEAKER_05: Alright.

• 54:06
  SPEAKER_00: No, you can find me on Instagram at haunted by deadlines, and that's pretty much the only thing I do is Instagram, because I'm not clever enough for Twitter.
• 54:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 54:17
  SPEAKER_03: Twitter's a cesspool.

  SPEAKER_03: It's a nightmare.
