All right. Should we do the out of context summary?
0:02
Go for it. In this episode, eyeliner at a time
0:07
like this? What exactly does a party smell like?
0:11
And what you want? Use your knees, young woman.
0:15
I don't know if that's the same guy. Thank you
0:20
for coming back from our replay reviews. My name
0:22
is Leah. And my name is Kathy. We are two friends
0:24
who are here to replay, review, and analyze your
0:27
favorite video games. And since Kathy has never
0:29
seen the games before, it helps me view them
0:31
through her fresh eyes, almost like I'm discovering
0:34
them again for the first time. We hope it'll
0:36
be a similar experience for you. Here we are.
0:46
Season 5, episode 1. I'm excited to just be focusing
0:50
solely on Red Dead 2. I think it'll be fun for
0:54
us to get more involved in a game. We're going
0:57
to spend a season's worth of episodes on just
1:00
one game, so it's going to be a lot. Anyway.
1:04
Welcome to Season 5, as we've said. Doing Red
1:07
Dead 2, as we've said. I want to say that the
1:11
aesthetics of this game is just so unbelievably
1:13
outstanding and amazing. While watching this
1:17
with you, I kept saying like, wow, that's like
1:19
a whole wallpaper. That's a screenshot. It's
1:21
just so pretty. And I can't believe it's still
1:24
aged out. And yet, it's just, yeah. Eight years.
1:29
I'm pretty sure there's a person that like...
1:33
sends in screenshots of landscapes from the game
1:35
to their news station and like keeps winning
1:38
like photo of the week or something we'll have
1:42
to look that up but i'm pretty sure that's a
1:44
thing that's how realistic this game is though
1:46
to your point no physics is the term i never
1:49
thought i would hear but here we are okay before
1:53
we get started something new we're doing this
1:55
season and potentially carrying over the same
1:57
item the next season if we don't find it is we're
2:00
gonna have a random item That we're going to
2:02
be on the lookout for and see if it somehow pops
2:05
up in the game in any form. So I know you had
2:08
a couple ideas. Should we pick one? Flowers.
2:13
Okay, I have that noted. We'll keep our eyes
2:15
peeled. I didn't notice one in part one, but
2:18
we were in the snow. So I knew there wouldn't
2:21
be much of anything in chapter one. All right.
2:25
So the first thing we see is a little explanation
2:27
of where we're at. It's 1899. America is being
2:31
tamed and outlaws are going extinct. We see a
2:34
gang seeking shelter on the run from the law
2:37
up in the frigid mountains. All right, so someone
2:41
named Arthur was sent ahead to find shelter,
2:43
and we soon meet him when he rides out of the
2:45
snow, saying he found an old mining town. And
2:48
then this is what I noted Molly with the eyeliner.
2:50
She's just using coal to just cover her eyes.
2:53
And then we also hear mention of John. He and
2:57
someone named Micah were sent scouting up ahead,
2:59
so we don't see either of them yet. We also see
3:01
a young Jack with the group. Baby Jack. Baby
3:07
boy. How many people do you recognize at this
3:10
point? I'm terrible, but I recognize, obviously,
3:13
Dutch, Abigail, Jack. That's probably about it
3:18
at this point. I think, I can't remember when
3:20
I recognized Uncle. Probably when I started laughing
3:23
at him. Yeah, at that point, yes. I think I probably
3:26
would have recognized Javier, but he looked very
3:29
different. Yes, he looks very different. He looks
3:33
normal here. He could probably still jump out
3:34
windows pretty good, though. So they make it
3:37
into a shed? What is that place? Or the mining...
3:42
A ghost town, basically. A ghost town, pretty
3:44
much. They find shelter. One of their people
3:46
died, and Dutch just gives good speech, not thinking
3:51
anything about Red Dead Redemption 1 and the
3:54
Dutch we know then. I can see how he's a very
3:57
inspiring... good leader like the speech he gives
4:00
is very moon lifting despite everything happening
4:04
and it makes him sound like he really is for
4:07
the people in this group and even arthur like
4:10
the nod of approval when he's listening to the
4:13
to the speech that just says a lot but yeah like
4:16
you said someone named davy just died and it
4:19
sounds like someone named jenny died too and
4:22
sean and mac are missing so chaos yeah And that
4:27
kind of shows like the leadership Dutch has.
4:30
And it is just it's so jarring to have the context
4:33
of what we see in Red Dead Redemption 1 and seeing
4:37
it here. After his speech, Dutch and Arthur head
4:40
out to go find John or Micah. On the way, Arthur
4:44
says, what really went down back there on that
4:46
boat? And Dutch's response is, we missed you,
4:49
which I find a bit flimsy. I have so many questions
4:52
about that. And this is. A theory I need to continue
4:55
to build as I get more pieces of information.
4:58
But all I know right now is we miss you as in
5:02
they purposely left him or he was somewhere else.
5:07
Yeah. Arthur was not on the boat. Yeah. And we
5:11
soon get a few more details. He says, do you
5:13
think it was a trap in Blackwater? And in response,
5:16
they knew we were coming. And it sounds like
5:19
they have a stash hidden outside the town that
5:21
they had to leave behind. So as they're riding
5:24
through the night in the snow, they run into
5:27
Micah, who leads them to a homestead that has
5:29
been taken over by a rival gang, the O'Driscolls.
5:33
Arthur and Micah are instructed to hide out of
5:35
sight while Dutch goes up to the door. He calls
5:38
out for help, and the O'Driscoll that answers
5:41
the door just cracks me up the way he just goes,
5:43
What you want? I don't know why it hits me so
5:46
funny, but every time it does. At some point,
5:48
they find a corpse and realize that these are
5:51
the O'Driscolls. And so a shootout starts. And
5:53
once things settle down, they search the property
5:55
for anything that they can use. And this is when
5:58
Arthur enters the cabin and goes, smells like
6:01
a party. What's that mean? Alcohol? I assume
6:04
so. Smoke? I mean, in modern day terms, that's
6:08
like what? Alcohol, smoke, drugs. What does that
6:12
mean, Arthur? Anything before Arthur goes to
6:16
the barn and gets jumped by that guy. That's
6:18
my next note. He goes and explores the barn outside
6:22
because Dutch told him so. He goes and some guy
6:25
just jumps him from behind or from above, pretty
6:28
much. He just came flying out of nowhere. I know.
6:32
It's a jumping spider. So pretty much the long
6:36
and short of it is Arthur interrogates this guy,
6:39
gets some more information about the O'Driscoll,
6:41
and then you're left with a decision to either
6:43
kill him or to let him go. And you chose, I'm
6:47
assuming, you chose to let him go. And I'm wondering,
6:50
is he going to regret letting him go? I'm kind
6:52
of curious, what happens when you kill him and
6:55
what happens when you let him go? How much does
6:57
that change the story? From my perspective, I'm
7:00
trying to play it in your mindset of, I've never
7:03
seen this before. So we get the information out
7:07
of them that we need, that where they're camped,
7:09
why they're on the mountain, which is to rob
7:11
a train. The options are, you can just continue
7:14
to punch him, let him go, or kill him. So I decided
7:18
to split the difference and just punch him and
7:20
let him go. Because from your perspective, we
7:22
don't really know what kind of person Arthur
7:24
is at this point. Yeah. At some point, you start
7:28
to see more about Arthur's personality when you
7:31
don't have a choice. Right. It was a good call.
7:35
Is your next note, what the f***, Micah? Because
7:38
mine is. What is wrong with Micah? What is he
7:43
doing? I don't have an explanation besides he's
7:46
probably just trying to... He's chasing after
7:49
a girl with ill intentions, is what I'm assuming.
7:53
And he is just not taking instructions from Dutch.
7:56
Isn't that cause for death in Dutch's eyes for
8:00
when you're disobeying orders and subordination?
8:04
Not only is he not taking... and stopping when
8:08
people are telling him to stop, he pretty much
8:10
burns the place down because he's such a stupid
8:13
idiot. Yeah, he's being completely reckless,
8:16
chasing around the table and then gets tired
8:18
of that, so tosses the table over and sets everything
8:21
on fire. It was funny because earlier in the
8:24
scene, you were like, this might be a dumb question,
8:26
but why don't they just move here if all this
8:28
stuff is here? And now it's like, well, now they
8:31
don't even have that choice. Well, after that...
8:37
They take her back to camp with them. We find
8:40
out her name is Sadie Adler and it was her and
8:43
her husband's property. And she goes, he was
8:45
my husband. And then the game cuts to his corpse.
8:49
Like how disrespectful, even though the shot
8:53
is pretty cinematic, but still. Going back to
8:56
Dutch's personality and we'll have to do some
8:58
kind of analysis. The fact that he's like reassuring
9:01
her and not leaving her to die. I think that's
9:04
how he inspires loyalty. This is like every single
9:07
thing I know about him makes me so conflicted
9:10
because I know what it ends up being. We're on
9:13
the next mission and Arthur, well, Abigail walks
9:18
up to Arthur and says, hi. And Arthur can absolutely
9:22
tell she's not just saying hi. She has an ulterior
9:24
motive and it cracks me up. He's very much just
9:26
like, hi. What do you want? Can I leave? What
9:30
she wants is for him to go search for John because
9:32
he's been gone for a couple days. Also, why is
9:36
Jon taking such a beating in this conversation?
9:38
He's not even here. He's been taking a beating
9:41
this entire game. And that's something we'll
9:44
have to talk about is the relationship between
9:46
Arthur and Jon and this group. But also, it makes
9:51
me question why is Arthur not going out of his
9:54
way to look for Jon or Dutch doing the same thing
9:57
asking Arthur to find him when it seems like
9:59
they would have done it for anyone else. Like
10:01
the fact that they... bringing Sadie so easily
10:03
into this group, but then they're also just letting
10:07
John be out there by himself. I know. He's very
10:11
resistant, but Hosea sends Javier and Arthur
10:13
out to go look. And I just love the line that
10:18
Javier says. He's like, if it was the other way
10:20
around, he'd look for me. And that has to be
10:23
a joke, right? From game one when John's hunting
10:27
down Javier. I just didn't even think of it as
10:31
a joke. Which, I don't know, I mean, the game
10:33
is 16 years old, but the second game is more
10:36
popular. Do we need to say spoilers for game
10:38
one? Arthur asks Javier about the boat as well,
10:42
and he says suddenly they were everywhere, speaking
10:45
about Pinkertons, which the Pinkertons were Ross
10:48
and Fordham from game one. And he says Dutch
10:51
killed a girl in a bad way. Arthur responds,
10:54
that ain't like him, though. So are we talking
10:57
about Heidi McCourt? I was thinking, is this
10:59
in addition to... Heidi, or what's going on?
11:04
Because multiple questions. When the stranger
11:07
man comes and talks about it, it almost feels
11:09
like John was the one who killed her, right?
11:13
But I'm wondering, did Dutch kill her to spare
11:18
John from experiencing that? Or is he just taking
11:22
the blame? I want to look now. Yeah. I still
11:25
have the document of the full dialogue of the
11:28
strange man meetings. Good thing you kept it.
11:30
Post. Toast. Can you be quiet, please? So I have
11:37
the dialogue document pulled up from the strange
11:40
man from game one. He says, do you remember Heidi
11:44
McCourt's face? She was the girl Dutch Vanderland
11:47
shot in the head on the raid on the ferry a few
11:49
years back. Same one you got shot on. Pretty
11:52
girl until her eye was hanging out by a thread
11:54
of tendon and her brain was plastered over a
11:56
wall. Oh my God. Okay. So I'm pretty sure. That's
12:02
who we're referencing. The fact that they notice
12:05
that's so out of line for Dutch's personality
12:08
makes me wonder what other things were going
12:11
wrong during that. Or maybe was he like drugged
12:14
up or something? How did Dutch killing her play
12:18
out? I don't know. I would like to see that.
12:21
I mean, not in a gross way, but I want to see
12:25
what happened. It's kind of funny because you
12:28
were just talking about how it shows. who Dutch
12:31
was, at least that he took Sadie in. But then
12:34
we have this immediate comparison of him killing
12:37
this girl in a bad way, as Javier puts it. So
12:40
it seems like maybe there's almost two sides
12:43
to Dutch. Even in this episode, we're going to
12:46
get whiplash from Dutch's personality, or at
12:49
least I did, watching this, knowing that everything
12:51
I know about his past and then his future. And
12:55
it's also so weird to see that Javier was really
12:59
eager to find John and was like, oh, this way,
13:02
this way, come here. To see Javier being the
13:05
only one to ask John if he's okay and then later
13:08
down the road, we know that that's not the way
13:10
their relationship is anymore. It's just, again,
13:13
very jarring to see how certain things will play
13:17
out that we don't know yet. Right. We have a
13:20
lot of questions that can all be summed into
13:22
what happened. So then we finally find John and
13:27
he's on the ledge. And he looks battered. What
13:31
happened? Yeah, we found his horse dead. So I
13:34
think the wolves got his horse. And that was
13:37
a distraction enough for him to make a run for
13:40
it. But he still got bit in the face, I guess.
13:43
So now we know how we got his scars. Also, I
13:45
love the little brief RDR1 soundtrack. We fight
13:50
off a few wolves that are still prowling for
13:52
John to make it back to camp. But I just have
13:55
to comment on when the wolves first show back
13:57
up and John like... being carried by Arthur lifts
14:00
his head to look and then just hangs his head
14:03
again like he's just so done with these wolves
14:06
you guys again I do feel bad that you had to
14:09
kill them like I understand why but I wasn't
14:12
a big fan of watching you kill them I know once
14:14
you've been killed by wolves a few times in this
14:16
game though you start to lose some empathy towards
14:19
them so back at camp we hear that the plan is
14:23
to keep heading east after the weather breaks
14:25
the west is too dangerous for them And that's
14:28
kind of where the scene ends, and then we start
14:30
in on scene three, which is camp interactions
14:34
and the mission Old Friends. So Arthur walks
14:38
in on a conversation between Dutch and Hosea.
14:40
Hosea seems concerned about the state of things.
14:43
Dutch, not at all. He says, we need money. I'm
14:47
kind of getting nervous about Hosea, that maybe
14:51
he seems more like a consultant within this group,
14:55
but people don't listen to him. And then I think
14:59
he's going to get himself killed by Dutch. I'm
15:02
kind of nervous about him. Yeah. Arthur then
15:05
checks in on the rest of the gang members. And
15:07
they all seem pretty dejected and obviously cold.
15:11
Things get a little testy in the men's bunk.
15:14
But Dutch puts an end to it. He thinks Colmo
15:16
Driscoll is on the mountain to hunt them down.
15:20
Arthur says, I doubt that. And he responds, no,
15:22
you're just doubting me. And that kind of pisses
15:25
me off. Like, you could just take a beat to think
15:27
about it, Dutch. I'm getting the whiplash because
15:29
he seems so stubborn. And I take back everything
15:32
I said about him being a great leader because
15:34
it's moments like this where he's not listening
15:36
to someone who isn't acting emotionally. And
15:40
that kind of drives me nuts. All right. What's
15:43
your next note? Who is Annabelle to Dutch? Yeah,
15:48
he says when they're talking about Colm on the
15:50
way to their camp, he says, some things I can
15:51
forgive, some I can forget. What he did to Annabelle,
15:54
I can't do neither. And Arthur responds, you
15:57
killed his brother. Which is a brave thing for
15:59
him to say after the conversation they just had.
16:01
But it also makes me respect Arthur so much more
16:03
that he says the facts. He's not going to kind
16:08
of tiptoe around things. And yeah, all we know
16:12
about Annabelle is she was important to him at
16:14
this point. But also, like, how long ago was
16:17
this? How long have you been nurturing this anger?
16:21
So they get to camp, or a ridge above the Driscoll
16:24
camp, and they're spying with binoculars. And
16:26
we see someone. running very awkwardly. I get
16:29
it's snowing out, but his feet were not sinking
16:31
into the snow. He was running like a fool up
16:34
to Colm, who then double slaps him, and then
16:37
he runs off. So Colm leaves, and then they start
16:42
a shootout, clear out the camp, they steal dynamite,
16:45
find a map, and learn that the train they were
16:48
planning to rob belongs to someone named Leviticus
16:50
Cornwall. Part of me feels like Colm has a deal
16:55
with the Pinkertons saying that if you spare
16:57
us, We'll give you another gang to go for. It
17:02
makes me a bit worried about where is this information
17:06
coming from. So Dutch does a little mini speech
17:10
and says, we allowed ourselves to get a step
17:12
behind in Blackwater. That won't happen again.
17:14
And then they head back to camp. And on the way,
17:16
Arthur captures the O'Driscoll that we saw get
17:19
slapped. His name is Kieran Duffy. And he says,
17:22
I've only been running with them a couple months.
17:25
All right, moving on to scene four, which is
17:27
the hunting with Charles scene. I have literally
17:29
three bullet points. One. We meet Pierce and
17:33
the camp cook, and he sends Arthur out hunting,
17:36
and Charles demands that he go with even though
17:38
he has an injured hand. He seems to want to do
17:42
things even though he can't use his hands, and
17:46
so he'll just guide Arthur into doing what needs
17:49
to be done. He's a go -getter, and I like that
17:52
about him. And he doesn't want to starve. That
17:55
too. So Arthur kills a couple deer. And then
17:58
when they're heading back, we learn that Charles
18:00
has been with the gang six months. And Arthur
18:03
has been with the gang for 20 years. All right.
18:08
Scene five, next mission. It's a few days later.
18:12
We hear Arthur's journal again. He checks in
18:15
on John when Dutch interrupts. He says, I think
18:18
it's time for the train. And I just have to say
18:20
again, poor John, he takes another beating. Dutch
18:22
calling him an idiot. Like, what has John done?
18:26
And it's not his fault for falling off, like
18:28
fighting wolves. You know what I mean? Is that
18:30
he was brave enough to go out in the snow with
18:33
Micah, but going separate ways. And he was doing
18:37
for the good of the gang. So I don't understand
18:39
why they're giving him such a hard time. Well,
18:42
yeah. And why did we send the man with a gunshot
18:44
wound out into the frigid night and not like
18:47
Bill or Javier? Who are not injured. Anyway,
18:51
Hosea wants to leave instead of robbing the train.
18:54
He says, I just don't want any more folks to
18:56
die, Dutch. Leviticus Cornwall is no joke. And
18:59
I totally see where Hosea is coming from. Their
19:02
gang is only going to get smaller and smaller
19:03
if they keep losing people and it's going to
19:06
be hard to survive. Right. But Dutch is just,
19:08
again, so stubborn about wanting to take out,
19:13
use his group to take out his own personal feud
19:16
against Colm. So they get to where the train
19:20
will be. Arthur helps Bill set the fuse. Things
19:25
go wrong. The detonator does not blow. And Dutch
19:29
kind of blames Arthur a little bit. And Arthur's
19:32
like, oh, so now it's my fault? You're pathetic.
19:34
But then later he says, well, I hooked up the
19:36
wire, but we won't mention that. They should
19:38
have known better to have Billy set things up
19:41
and be the one who blows up the detonator. It's
19:43
just Bill. Yes. I don't know where the Billy
19:47
came from. I don't either. Probably outlast.
19:52
Start to blend together. It ends up just being
19:56
Lenny and Arthur that make it onto the train
19:58
after they chase after it. There's a guard up
20:00
ahead and Lenny's like, there's another guard
20:01
up ahead. You want me to take him? And Arthur's
20:03
like, sure. And he just runs up and shoves him
20:06
over the edge of the train. I thought he was
20:09
going to shoot him or stab him or something.
20:11
That was so much better. There's a glitch where
20:14
you had to keep stabbing the guy, the guard.
20:17
And it just wouldn't let you kill him. And in
20:20
that moment watching it is that previously you
20:22
spared people from dying. Yet here, this is like
20:26
the first time I'm seeing Arthur so aggressive.
20:29
So remind me of the scene when if he dies and
20:33
I have a feeling that he has to die, right? In
20:35
the end of this game, if I determine if he's
20:37
a mother respecter or a mother, I'm kind of nervous
20:40
because it seems like this that remind me that
20:43
he's actually not that. Good of a good guy, you
20:47
know what I mean? Is that they're still killing
20:49
innocent people who are just doing their jobs.
20:52
And so, again, kind of like Dutch, where I'm
20:55
going back and forth on his character. It's moments
20:58
like this that makes me go back and forth on
21:00
Arthur. Yeah. And it's kind of like in Yakuza
21:04
when we have this issue. We're like, relatively
21:06
to being in the Yakuza, are they a good person
21:10
or not? Yeah. We then find the bonds. And Dutch
21:15
leaves Arthur to deal with the prisoners while
21:17
the rest of the gang rides back to Coulter. At
21:19
least the mission was successful. Nobody died.
21:24
Okay, final scene. Arthur returns to camp and
21:27
the first thing we hear is Grimshaw yelling at
21:29
Marybeth for reading and not helping. The gang
21:32
is packing up camp to head to Horseshoe Overlook
21:35
on Hosea's suggestion. John's really not doing
21:38
well as they load him up onto the cart. I feel
21:42
like if I didn't know better, I would have thought
21:44
he would have died. can we get this man a blanket
21:47
while he's in this wagon? So they head out and
21:51
eventually we're out of the snow and then we
21:54
cross the river where we get the classic Arthur
21:57
line of I broke the goddamn wheel. So he, Jose,
22:02
and Charles stop to fix the wagon and they notice
22:05
they're being watched from the cliff. Charles
22:07
says if they wanted trouble we wouldn't have
22:09
seen them. We get more of Charles' backstory
22:12
which made me really sad but I thought that Maybe
22:16
he knew how the Indians worked because he is
22:21
part Indian. Yeah, for sure. But either way,
22:24
I kind of like the scene to give the characters
22:27
a bit more depth and backstory, which will make
22:32
me even more curious when the time comes when
22:36
something happens and then we see where Red Dead
22:40
Redemption 1 happened. When the time comes. Yeah.
22:44
You gotta run and don't look back. Okay. No,
22:48
I agree. I mean, we get a lot in this scene.
22:50
We get Charles's backstory and then Hosea explaining
22:52
to Arthur how, as he puts it, the Indians in
22:55
this park got sold a very raw deal. Charles kind
22:58
of like gets offended a little bit or pushes
23:01
back and Hosea finds a way to blame Arthur for
23:04
offending Charles. I fear I was perhaps trying
23:07
to simplify something more complicated for the
23:10
benefit of our block -headed driver here. And
23:13
that's when we learn Arthur says, don't forget
23:15
Hosea is a con man born and bred. So that's kind
23:19
of where we learn more Hosea's role in terms
23:22
of criminal behavior. When we're closer to camp,
23:28
they're talking about the ferry job and Hosea
23:30
says, maybe it's me who changed and not him.
23:33
But we kept telling him that ferry job didn't
23:35
feel right. Speaking of Dutch, I find that interesting
23:38
because I feel like we're already making excuses
23:40
for Dutch. Like, oh, maybe I changed and he didn't.
23:43
So would Jose get killed if he said that? Dutch
23:45
has changed a lot. And knowing how loyal Arthur
23:48
is to Dutch, it just might be Jose's way of staying
23:52
smart and sparing himself from future kind of
23:55
issues with Dutch. Exactly. Yeah. I think it's
23:58
kind of like they're all loyal to him. But at
24:01
what point do we question him? And I think Jose
24:03
is already at that point and nobody else is.
24:06
And I think we see that because they get to the
24:08
new camp and Hosea immediately gets into it with
24:11
Dutch about Blackwater, his and Arthur's lead,
24:13
Micah pushing for the ferry job. Dutch basically
24:16
just responds, I kept us together. And Hosea
24:19
says, I guess I'm just worried. I want folks
24:21
safe before I go. I guess by that he means die
24:24
because he's kind of old. Dutch is again reacting
24:27
very emotionally to having someone question his
24:31
decisions. Dutch and Hosea then address the gang.
24:34
Dutch says, get to work. And by comparison, Hosea
24:38
says, get to work, but stay out of trouble. And
24:41
then we learn that anything that the gang members
24:43
bring in, the camp gets its slice. And then we
24:46
end with Miss Grimshaw yelling at Tilly. Miss
24:50
Jackson, I've seen shit with more common sense
24:53
than you. And then chapter two, Horseshoe Overlook.
24:57
I'm kind of nervous about Arthur's future. Because
25:01
if this is going to be like a parallel to how
25:03
John dies in the end. Right. to to complete the
25:08
whole redemption arc is arthur gonna die too
25:10
and maybe based on the trailer i'm like having
25:13
all these questions that is maybe arthur gonna
25:16
die to save john and that is his redemption yeah
25:20
well it's i mean a question we've all we all
25:24
had playing because it's like arthur's not in
25:26
the first game and he seems like a pretty prominent
25:28
member so like i'm kind of nervous and i'm with
25:31
you guys on on that now watching this and knowing
25:34
what i know We're one chapter down, six chapters
25:38
to go, but the other chapters will not be one
25:41
episode. So there's a lot of time left with this
25:44
game. Any other summarizing thoughts for you?
25:47
Should we move on to stats? Stats. Let's do it.
25:50
Okay, I have two stats and I have a secret stat
25:53
that I'm not going to reveal until the summary
25:55
episode. I did not see a bouquet of flowers,
25:57
so that carries over to episode two. Do you think
26:01
you can guess my two stats? One of them, you
26:04
got it. It's my favorite stat ever. You gotta
26:07
guess it. Headshots. No. I have one close to
26:12
that. I'll tell you this one because you haven't
26:14
seen it yet. But number of times that Arthur's
26:17
hat gets shot off his head is one of them. But
26:20
you gotta guess my other one. It's my all -time
26:23
favorite stat to track. How many? Is it driving
26:28
related? No. You know? Come on. Don't overthink
26:33
it. Number of animals you killed? No. It's a
26:40
repeated one. I've done it before. I do it a
26:41
lot. I'm blinking. The stress. Cigarettes. Cigars.
26:49
Yeah. There you go. Cigarettes smoked. Cigarettes
26:54
smoked. With the subcategories of cigar and et
26:57
cetera. Yeah. So do you want to guess? Obviously,
27:00
I revealed Arthur's hat did not get shot off
27:02
in this episode, but it did get shoveled off
27:04
his head. So there's that. Do you want to guess
27:06
how many cigarettes were smoked in this? I feel
27:11
like four, eight. They smoked a lot here. 25?
27:19
No. 15? I'm just going to keep spewing out numbers.
27:23
No. Seven cigarettes and one cigar. Seven? Yeah.
27:30
I feel like there's a lot more than seven. Do
27:35
you want me to guess the entire game now? Yeah.
27:38
Do you want to do just the entire game? I feel
27:40
like that's easier then. By chapter. Let's do
27:44
42. That was my first guess. 42. Okay. 42. Total.
27:51
Should I guess has shot off? Oh, yes. I don't
27:56
know. Is 12 too low? Let's do 12. I don't know.
28:00
I haven't tallied them. All right. 12. It only
28:02
gets shot off when you're in a fight scene, right?
28:05
And someone shoots at you. Mm -hmm. I feel like
28:08
you'd be pretty good at dodging them. And this
28:10
is my confidence in your skill set. So I want
28:13
to just go with 12. Damn, you're dodging bullets
28:14
now? Yeah, you're dodging bullets. All right.
28:19
Well, sounds good. I'm excited to tally that
28:22
up and see how close you are. Anything else you
28:26
want to say for chapter one? No, but I'm very
28:30
excited to be back into this routine and analyzing
28:34
this game. And it's such a great game to analyze
28:37
too. I'm excited. We've never done a season like
28:40
this before, so we'll see how it plays out. But
28:44
yeah, I'm excited. We'll be back next week with
28:48
part one of chapter two. What happens? Do you
28:51
count us off? I forget. Yeah, I think I do. Audacity
