  SPEAKER_03: I know darkness.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_03: I've been living in darkness for fucking arguably 30, 40 years.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_03: So how how how does this make Don feel then?
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_03: I'll let you just explain it.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_03: He's excitable.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_03: He's k he's kind of up for it.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_03: If he's just in pitch black, there's comfort there.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_03: All this other shit's been going on, he's been having a lot to deal with.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_03: Like a lot since Dawn landed on that fucking beach, his life has been going at a very fast pace.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_03: A very fast pace.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_03: And it's been about survival and attacking and where's his finding his next drink from?
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: There's been a lot of shit.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_03: Dawn's had a lot of focuses and a lot of things to try and achieve and do.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_03: This is probably the first time in like what?
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, how many days has this been?
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_03: Like two weeks, a month?
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_06: I think we're saying it's a week.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, about a week.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_03: Sort of fucking hell, that's intense for a week.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_03: 20 episodes equals seven days.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_03: Uh it's been go, go, go, hell to leather.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_03: He is weirdly, it's like the the saying when you hit rock bottom, some people feel good there because they're like, can it get any worse?
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_03: I think Don is genuinely just buzzing that he's like, Well, I have no internal focus right now.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_03: I'm in the dark.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_03: Literally.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_03: So let's just he's just made inner peace with us very quickly, going, I've got nothing to think about, nothing to see, nothing to do.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sat down and I'm in the darkness, and I'm pinging backwards.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_03: He's up for it.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_03: That's good then.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_03: Does that make sense?
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_03: It makes sense to me.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, fuck you.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_03: That was a way that was a way to go.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_03: It makes sense to me.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_03: The listeners will be going, what the fuck is he on about?
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_05: You put a lot of stuff in me that I don't see.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_05: So I think everybody will understand what you've just said as a whole.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_05: Uh so as Don is pinging backwards, he eventually comes to a stop, and in front of him he sees a door.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_05: Just a wooden door, but the there was a wooden door, it's got a handle, got a keyhole.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_05: Uh you look to if you were to look at the other side of it, it would just be the other side of that door.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_05: It's not a door into anything, it was just a door standing alone.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_03: And then Don also sees Doors Don's just staring at this door, it doesn't lead to anything, and he's like, if ever there was a metaphor for my career.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_05: So if you Don looks behind him, what he will see is a key hanging from a string uh and then underneath it is a seesaw.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_05: So if Don was to manage to get Yep, yep, yep.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_05: If you want to roll something, I can tell you what more stuff of the t she wants.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_03: No, it is what it is, man.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, okay, fuck it, let's just roll like is it perception or whatever?
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_03: What would you roll?
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_05: Uh perception, aye.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_03: Aye.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_03: D twenty.

• 8:48
  SPEAKER_05: Seventeen.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_03: So what am I perceiving?
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_05: Don can see that there is nothing around the seesaw, but he can see something like a a flitting creature moving in the darkness.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_05: Ah, piss.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_05: Piss.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_05: And it's very obvious if you were to stand uh if you were to get the seesaw someone to stand at one end of it, and then someone to stand at the other end of it, they'd be able to reach up and grab the key by going on the highest bit of it Yeah.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_03: So Er can Don draw his short sword?
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, yeah.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_05: So you pull out your sword?
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_03: Not fucking about.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_03: Not fucking about.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna uh Ah no, that'd be daft.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_03: Don is gonna try and get on the seesaw.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_05: No, okay.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_03: Cause fuck it, that's obviously what this little dark room wants me to do.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_03: It obviously wants me to go for the key.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, so you you sat in the seesaw and it flops down, so the bit that Don sat on, it's the heaviest bit, he's now sat on the floor, the other bit is raised up.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_05: That's it.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_03: Damn.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_03: It's almost as if this is entirely how seesaws work.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Don gets off the seesaw.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_05: Evens back out again, so it's just sitting kind of flat.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_03: Surely he's not gonna have to fucking call upon the creature to help him with a seesaw.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_05: This is entirely up to Don.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_05: This is Don's head Don is in.

  SPEAKER_05: So as Don starts walking backwards, it's like he's walking backwards up a slope.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_05: And he keeps walking backwards and walking backwards until the wall is far in the distance.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_05: If when Don turns around, he's walking back closer to the TV screen that is reality that he faded away from at the start.

• 27:45
  SPEAKER_05: And as Don looks at the TV screen, you can see the figure in the s in the smoke with a pale face and bright yellow eyes, but there's a familiarity to this face.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_05: And as Don looks into the face, the picture in his jacket pocket starts to burn and Don can feel it pressing hard against his chest, burning into his chest, right where his heart is.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_03: Fucking hell.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_03: And what does Don do now?

  SPEAKER_03: I'm fucking so shit, man.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_05: Alright, so er you see the the boy on the bicycle has turned and is no longer cycling away from Don, but you can see him that is still a a nice amount of distance between you and he's just staring at you.

  SPEAKER_01: Come here to me, son.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 32:33

• 32:38
  SPEAKER_05: So is there anything else you can do?
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just, you know, I'm I'm hoping the character work that I'm doing here is gonna be enough to convince Farley to come here to me, son.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_03: My boy.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_05: So you've basically already said that.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_05: If you want to say something different, I can give you another persuasion rule because you've effectively said come here and you've got I've missed you.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_02: Give your dad a hug.
• 33:05

  SPEAKER_05: You can reach out and touch him if you want.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_03: I yeah, well.

  SPEAKER_05: How are we gonna get out of here, Dad?
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_03: If you do not know the answer to that, then we're both fucked.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_05: So the boy just looks over at the seesaw.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_02: Of course.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_03: Don just ruffles the top of his head, like in his hair, and just goes, You're so unbelievably smart.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_03: You're so you're so much smarter than your old man.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_03: Don runs over it giddily, maybe even lets her we just regressed to a fucking child again.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_03: Uh sits in the seesaw, goes down to the ground hoping.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_03: Oh no, but to be fair, now it's gonna be hard for us.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_03: He goes over he he just goes right next to the seesaw and gestures like, get on.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_03: So the big boy jumps on.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_03: Why am I crying?
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_05: God farley, you paint such movement pictures.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_05: So the boy jumps on the seesaw, the other lens rises up a little bit, but it's not he's not all the way in the ground and it's not all the way at the top.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_03: Don then sits on his end of the seesaw.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_05: The seesaw moves up and the boy's all the way at the top, he can reach up and grab the key.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_05: Get the key, boy! Or do you want to have a you want him to just play a wee bit first, or do you just want him to get the key?
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, what a fucking that question nearly fucked me up.

  SPEAKER_03: No, let's get the key though, let's not fucking like yeah, yes, I'm happy to see my son yes, I'm happy to see my son again, obviously, but also the room clearly wants the key.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm now guessing we're gonna have to do all of these rooms again, but I'm hoping with a there's a nice heart behind this now.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_03: We're doing them properly, not slowly, that it will lead to a different outcome, is my hope.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, so the boy grabs the key and then he sli he moves his legs to one side and he slides down the seesaw straight into your arms.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, this boy.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_05: And then you uh Did I ever name him?
• 36:28

  SPEAKER_05: And in front of you the figure of God disappears, and in front of you is the pale face of Maximus.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_02: Pause.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_02: Pause, pause, pause.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_03: What the f what the fuck is going on?
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_03: This episode has been a fucking head boggler.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_03: Head boggler.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_03: My head is boggled.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_03: If that was your goal.
• 49:32
  SPEAKER_03: Mission tick achieved.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_03: My oh right.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_03: I'm g you're not saying there that Maximus is God.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_05: Has God done anything that has actually affected any of you so it was God just basically being constant illusions and taking you places that you thought you were?
• 49:50
  SPEAKER_05: B.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_03: So it's been Maximus the whole time.
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_03: There is there is no God.
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_05: It's been Maximus fucking with you the whole time.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_05: Because you've seen through the window, you saw him following you.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_05: Well, not following, but as he was watching you.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:07
  SPEAKER_05: And then you're also like, of course, this is I need to fucking turn this on here.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_03: I need to turn this fucking on.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_03: This has now become for me anyway, not a comedy podcast.
• 50:17
  SPEAKER_03: This is an acting exercise for me now.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_05: Well, if you think about it as well, it does explain why God was so upset about the puns, because Maximus is a comedy defense.
• 50:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:27
  SPEAKER_03: He hates puns.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_03: So he would hate puns.
• 50:29
  SPEAKER_03: He fucking hates puns.
• 50:30
  SPEAKER_03: He wants clean, well-worked routines.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_05: He was disappointed.
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_05: Although he hates Fanny as Bigwood, apparently.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_05: Well.
• 50:39
  SPEAKER_05: She was the only one he never actually took away as good.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_03: Dawn, I don't even know how to fucking do this.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_03: This is so This is so mammothly big.
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_03: I cannot get this wrong.
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_03: This this feels like.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_03: Actually, to be fair, I was about to say that it feels like this whole series and podcast features on a fucking knife edge of me nailing this.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_03: You're the DM.
• 51:06
  SPEAKER_03: There's no possible world where I nail this.
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_03: There's no possible world.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_03: Then the outcome will always be, and then Max goes, fuck off, dah.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_03: That's right.
• 51:17
  SPEAKER_03: So now that there's a comfort there, I'm not going to be able to win this.
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_03: We might as well just try.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_03: Um Don, where is Maximus?
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_03: Is he massive and in the sky or is he just Oh, he's just in front of you.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_05: So if you think about it, remember God was basically like the Simpsons God, but it was just like you could only really see his legs and he was massive.
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_05: It's like that whole image fades away and it's just Maximus standing in front of you.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_03: Right, fuck it.
• 51:43
  SPEAKER_03: Let's turn it on.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_03: Right, comedy's gone, acting exercise.
• 51:48
  SPEAKER_03: Don staring right into Maximus' eyes.
• 51:52
  SPEAKER_03: And I want to roll to fucking back this up.
• 51:56
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 51:56
  SPEAKER_03: But I'm I'll roleplay it first, and then I want to roll after.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 52:00
  SPEAKER_03: So you can see.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_03: Don Baltry to his core is a man that has probably fucked up a lot in his life.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_03: And he probably knows that but doesn't like to admit it.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_03: The one thing that he definitely was at for a time, he was definitely a good comic at some point.
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_03: As years went on and stuff didn't really happen for him when he kind of got close, he just plateaued and just fucking did the same set, hasn't fucking upgraded, hasn't moved, hasn't adapted for anything.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_03: But he's a very unserious man.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't he take he doesn't take himself or the career or anything in life seriously.
• 52:46
  SPEAKER_03: This is the first time Don his whole bravado changes.
• 52:52
  SPEAKER_03: He is staring into the eyes of his son.
• 52:55
  SPEAKER_03: He is picking his words very wisely.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_02: And he says, Max, I fucked up.
• 53:08
  SPEAKER_02: I know I fucked up.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_02: And I want you to know I'm sorry.
• 53:18
  SPEAKER_02: I do I am not expecting your forgiveness.
• 53:21
  SPEAKER_03: But I just want you to know I fucked up.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_03: Performance.
• 53:27
  SPEAKER_03: Performance.
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_03: Perform the fuck out of it.
• 53:31
  unknown: Come on, Roger.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_03: Come on.
• 53:33
  SPEAKER_05: Plus what do I get?
• 53:34
  SPEAKER_05: You get plus one to performance.
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_05: Twenty! Okay.
• 53:38
  SPEAKER_05: So you look at Maximus's face, his eyes blink.
• 53:43
  SPEAKER_05: And for a second you were sure his eyes had stopped being yellow.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_05: But as you look at him more, you feel his face can talk.
• 53:52
  SPEAKER_05: You can feel see him his hand almost go to his heart.
• 53:56
  SPEAKER_05: You can see his eyes become yellow again.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_05: And his looks his face has got a very confused and then an angry look and his eyes almost become orange.
• 54:08
  SPEAKER_05: Oh shit.
• 54:08
  SPEAKER_05: And he says orange is better than you.
• 54:11
  SPEAKER_05: And he says nothing, but you feel an a fury flying out of Maximus.
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_02: And he disappears the room around you disappears.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_05: You awake on this airship in the clouds.
• 54:32
  SPEAKER_05: You're in a city that is in the clouds.
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_05: It is made up of docks that have balloons tied underneath them.
• 54:39
  SPEAKER_05: And that is how it's in the air.
• 54:41
  SPEAKER_05: Big question.
• 54:43
  SPEAKER_03: Do I remember what's just happened?
• 54:47
  SPEAKER_03: You remember everything.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_03: Rikay.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_03: I remember the rooms, I remember the foe, I remember the basin, I remember fucking I remember and what I said to him there.
• 54:55
  SPEAKER_03: I remember and now I do I know was that enough for me Dawn to understand that Maximus is the one that's been fucking with us.
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Dawn understands Maximus is the one who's been fucking with you.
• 55:09
  SPEAKER_05: Maximus is the reason you're all here and all that.
