- 0:00Yeah, the reason Canada called it Hawaiian pizza was so they
- 0:03were like, we'll take the flock from us when nobody like, agrees
- 0:07that it's a good pizza. I'm fond of pineapple all
- 0:11together. When we were at the at the
- 0:14convention, all right, I there was this panel we did called the
- 0:17Hill and when you lost, you called somebody from the
- 0:20audience up. So of course Noodle called me up
- 0:22when he lost his hill because this hill sucked ass and I
- 0:25fucking won on pizza dessert. Pineapple deserves to be on
- 0:28pizza, Jesus Christ, I think. It used to have been a hard
- 0:31fought bottle. OK, I take that back.
- 0:34That was my third one. I did I, I, I went 3 rounds and
- 0:37then I got the overall victory. My first one was because Noodle
- 0:40of course did his Grandpa Joe is the worst villain.
- 0:45I mean that is a. That is still a fair argument
- 0:48and. Then he did another one I don't
- 0:49remember and so then he lost and he called me up and my first one
- 0:53was worse than Grandpa Joe is Sir Topham Hat from Thomas the
- 0:56Tank Engine. He's a much worse villain fair
- 1:00then I did. I did one other one and then
- 1:03pineapple goes on pizza. I don't remember my middle.
- 1:05One, it does go on pizza, you just have.
- 1:07To go on pizza. You just have to like, get the
- 1:10right pizza. Yeah, the other ingredients just
- 1:13have to be salty. It's salty, it's sweet, it's
- 1:15cheesy, it's pizza. Pineapple chicken and jardinera.
- 1:20Well, my well, I'm in Chicago for those very short 12 hours,
- 1:27give or take. I want to try an actual Chicago
- 1:32pizza. It's not worth it.
- 1:34You'll just. Fucking hit it.
- 1:36I got you. I got.
- 1:36You, brother, I you're going to get off the flight and then
- 1:40you're going to eat the heaviest.
- 1:41It's like eating a rock in your. Just give him jets.
- 1:44Just give him jets. Jets is so good, I love Jets.
- 1:49Jets is so good. Oh, Jets is some of the best.
- 1:54No, don't give him thin crust. I'm not moving.
- 1:58Crust is so good I want. I want one that's going to make
- 2:02me look like I'm I'm going to gain 60 lbs from just staring at
- 2:06it not. Yeah.
- 2:08It's just not Chicago style pizza is just not.
- 2:10It's just not good. No.
- 2:13It's basically. Lasagna.
- 2:14Come on. It's.
- 2:15Lasagna. It's literally lasagna.
- 2:17It's he's right. It's pretty much lasagna, but
- 2:20it's made with a different type of.
- 2:21Noodles. It's fucking dough.
- 2:24That sounds heavenly to me. We don't know.
- 2:26It's not. It's.
- 2:27Just not real. Neither do we.
- 2:29That's why it stays in Chicago. No, if it was good.
- 2:32It would be other places. It is other places.
- 2:36Jets is everywhere. So is Little Caesars.
- 2:38I hate. Little I'm I'm not bringing Nile
- 2:41to fucking Little Caesars. No, I didn't say.
- 2:44To bring him to Little Caesars. But it's everywhere, unlike
- 2:46Chicago style pizza. Which is why he should have
- 2:49Chicago style pizza in Chicago. I don't know about that.
- 2:54And I'm and I also want to try a Cornish pasta from from
- 2:58Michigan. I want to say that if they stand
- 3:00up, we're. Going to find a place down South
- 3:01that sells them. I was going to say, do they sell
- 3:04them outside of? The I can get them frozen.
- 3:06I don't know, the only the other place would be to drive 5 hours
- 3:09N to fucking Mackinac to buy One North.
- 3:12Out of the way. I just wanted to test it as an
- 3:16English man who eats I can. Look around, I'm sure there's
- 3:19somewhere here that would sell them, I just don't know where.
- 3:21It's not something I usually go out of my way to find.
- 3:23I also want to see the Punxsutawney Beaver, whatever it
- 3:26fucking is. The Groundhog the.
- 3:28Groundhog predicts the weather. A Beaver would be way wetter.
- 3:32It would be much funnier if it was a Beaver.
- 3:34We don't. Punxsutawney Phil was featured
- 3:36on on an Ace commercial. Damn, what the hell happened?
- 3:48There was a gunfight with me and Slick and Salmon.
- 3:55Of course I'm the one to get a load of damned buckshot up in my
- 3:58chest. And I say that with a capital D.
- 4:01These suckers ain't playing. Hang on.
- 4:03I I think I see a light. Wait.
- 4:07No, no, not the other way. Why am I going the other way?
- 4:11The Hell's back the other way. The.
- 5:15Are we ready all? Right are.
- 5:17You ready? Yeah, let's do it.
- 5:19I'm as ready as I'm going to be things healthy.
- 5:26Things are bleak. Things, things are not going
- 5:28well, gentlemen. And seemingly, they're not going
- 5:32so hot for the three of you either.
- 5:35I believe when we last left you off, Arthur, you were in transit
- 5:39trying to get back to your men's because you miss them and you
- 5:44love them and you realize I. Can't live without my mums.
- 5:48You can't, you can't live without them.
- 5:50Itchy, you died and came back to life briefly, and Slick, you
- 5:57killed Famine. I did.
- 6:00By by turning into the fucking matrix and using slow motion.
- 6:05Yeah, Slick, how are you feeling?
- 6:08As the as the man who just, you know, killed a entity, we'll
- 6:15say. So I feel like does itchy wake
- 6:19up like right away? Yeah, he's like, he's coming to
- 6:22like, you know, this Icker is flowing back into the earth.
- 6:25It flowed back into him. And everything is just like
- 6:29springing to life around you. It's happening so quickly.
- 6:33And remind me, what happened to the body of Famine and the
- 6:36horse? Did they melt or are they just
- 6:39still there? They're just still there.
- 6:41Nothing. Nothing happened but the flies.
- 6:44The flies vacated the body of of Famine, and the swarm is nowhere
- 6:50to be found. So I feel like itchy when he
- 6:53when he wakes up, he just sees Slick.
- 6:55He's standing in the back of Famine's horse, just like
- 6:58holding holding scales in his right hand, and just like with
- 7:02his arm out, pointing at the back of the Famine's head with
- 7:06his left. Slick, slick.
- 7:09Yeah, right over there. Itchy.
- 7:12Riley is this acre still like visible?
- 7:17Yes and no. It's like it's dissipating into
- 7:20a mist, like very rapidly, and it's just like soaking into the
- 7:24earth. Itchy is very frantically trying
- 7:28to motion over to Slick. I I think slick just sort of
- 7:31like does like a big step down, sort of steps off the horse and
- 7:36walks over. Slick.
- 7:40You know. Itchy just kind of weakly
- 7:43gestures to like this dissipating mist anchor.
- 7:48I barely know her. I'm going to kill you in the
- 7:56most painful way possible. I'm going to make you fall in
- 8:00love with a kitten. OK, I'm going to give you a
- 8:03kitten. I'm going to make you fall in
- 8:05love with a kitten. And then one night, probably
- 8:08right before a holiday or something, I'm going to take
- 8:11that kitten from your home and send you a video of me killing
- 8:15that kitten. Jesus Christ.
- 8:23Look down at like the what's what's up with like the bullet
- 8:27holes that used to be. Itchy.
- 8:31You've healed, right? Yeah.
- 8:32You've healed from everything except that one point of psychic
- 8:36damage you took at the beginning of the battle when you tried to
- 8:38read his mind. OK, fair.
- 8:41Yeah, I think Itchy just gives like a weak smile and he's just
- 8:45like, I'm back, I ain't gonna take down.
- 8:49Itchy bike chip bad easy. It's like reaches down with his
- 8:54hands, like come on, get you up. All right, And I think Itchy
- 9:02just kind of weakly gets up to his feet.
- 9:06Well, I, I, I, I guess we should figure out if we want to.
- 9:13Well, I guess best bet would just keep heading towards the
- 9:17train station we were headed towards, right?
- 9:19I mean, it's the closest thing at this point.
- 9:21I doubt it'd make much sense to go back to the train at this
- 9:24point because it's where sort of wanted.
- 9:27I mean, yeah, I don't know, maybe we could like plead
- 9:33insanity or something, but we're, I mean, no, it's it's
- 9:37probably it's probably better if we just keep keep keeping on.
- 9:43I mean, my memories, my memory is kinda, kinda coming back.
- 9:49We were trying to we were trying to head to a a town, right?
- 9:53We were, we were going South trying to trying to head to a
- 9:56town. Do you?
- 9:57Remember what town we were headed towards?
- 9:58Riley. Beaumont.
- 10:00Beaumont. Beaumont, that's what it was.
- 10:04I mean, I reckon an itchy itchy just picks up, picks up some
- 10:12soil and he sniffs it and he's just like, I reckon, I don't
- 10:19know. I reckon now that famine here is
- 10:24well disposed of, I think we might you might be able to make
- 10:29it to Beaumont without without dying.
- 10:34Yeah, I don't think there's much rush now, which is probably a
- 10:38good thing since we're not only the one horse.
- 10:40Do my horse come back or is it still dead?
- 10:44I mean, your horse is around well.
- 10:47'Cause it. Yeah, it came.
- 10:49It came back. Oh, sick.
- 10:51Everything, everything's coming back.
- 10:54Yeah, look at that, my horse. Well.
- 10:57He'll he'll go over and. Your horse does not trust you
- 11:00anymore. It's quite pissed.
- 11:03It was never, it was never mine to begin with.
- 11:05It's fine. I'll get a new.
- 11:05One, it's it's just like very antsy.
- 11:09Everything's coming back, SAP. One thing NHE looks off to the
- 11:13horizon and holds up four fingers.
- 11:20The foot. And for everybody who gets that
- 11:23call back. I'm so sorry.
- 11:26You don't have a life. Yeah, I guess we just hopefully
- 11:34we can catch the new train at Beaumont and keep on keeping on.
- 11:38Yeah, and with that, you gentlemen start to head South
- 11:44towards Beaumont. Arthur, what's poppin?
- 11:58Not much, you know, just just riding.
- 12:01It's pretty much it, I think. I do have a question now.
- 12:04Yeah, absolutely. So obviously Alva doesn't know
- 12:08this, that actually died and came back to life.
- 12:11But what happened to the sole cone for like that brief 30
- 12:14seconds? Because it was in my, it was in
- 12:17my boot, like between my boot and my, like my boot, my sock,
- 12:25like in that gap between my boot and my sock.
- 12:27And I'm pretty sure the boots are pretty tight.
- 12:30Yeah, you know, it's crazy. Absolutely nothing happened to
- 12:33it. Oh, damp.
- 12:36It stayed. I mean, if you were looking at
- 12:38it, you may have like seen his expression change, but oh OK,
- 12:41nothing happened. I just.
- 12:42Wondered if it just like went cold.
- 12:45No, it didn't go cold. OK, Yeah, I think, yeah,
- 12:51Arthur's just riding to to Beaumont.
- 12:53That's all he's doing. He used the Pythagorean theorem
- 12:56like a couple hours ago and he's staying on course.
- 13:03I think the three of you actually run into each other on
- 13:06the road South. Arthur, you're making good time.
- 13:09And Slick and Itchy got, we'll say, sidetracked with their
- 13:13little battle. That's one word for it.
- 13:16That's fair, That's fair. And I think as you come over the
- 13:19horizon, I mean, it's late, it's probably the middle of the night
- 13:23now, but the moonlight's lighting up the the world and
- 13:26it's, you hear the animals and the wind whipping through the
- 13:30trees. And suddenly this like lifeless
- 13:32land is full of life again. And it's almost like nothing
- 13:35ever transpired here. And then you see the silhouettes
- 13:39of slick and itchy on two horses.
- 13:43They're unmistakable. I feel like as you're riding up
- 13:48slicks talk slicks talking to Itchy, he's like, wait, ain't
- 13:51you? Ain't you got a change of
- 13:52clothes in your saddlebags? Why are you still wearing my
- 13:54shit? I don't know, I didn't have time
- 13:56to change. Well, get get my shit off.
- 13:59Let's let's stop here and change.
- 14:00We're just going to start. Swallowing changing clothes and
- 14:05Ichi is just going to like without any like like privacy.
- 14:11He's just going to he's going to completely disrobe.
- 14:13Oh. My God, Ichi.
- 14:21Ichi had his back to you. He turns around.
- 14:25Oh my throttle male nudity in my podcast.
- 14:32In this Christian Minecraft server.
- 14:37Edgy just kind of stares at Arthur again, like not moving
- 14:40probably. Four or five seconds.
- 14:41It looks like the sponge, like the Stone Age SpongeBob.
- 14:46He's just around there. You you like what you see.
- 14:53No. Oh.
- 14:54God, Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm just messing with you.
- 15:01Meanwhile, Slick stands up and he's putting on his original
- 15:03hand. He's like, there we go.
- 15:04Didn't want to get my old clothes dirty.
- 15:07Oh God, I can't remember what I was coming to tell you.
- 15:11Yeah, that's what people usually say when they see me, Arthur.
- 15:18I died. Full start bro.
- 15:23What was the town I was in called?
- 15:25Can anyone remember that little town I stopped in where there
- 15:27was all the ghosts and I was drinking and I was like and I
- 15:29thought this. I actually don't remember.
- 15:35Because that's what I was coming to tell them, right?
- 15:36Like there was like. Famine did, did you?
- 15:40Did some something destroyed this land?
- 15:46Then he looked around. Slick holds up the scales.
- 15:50I got a souvenir from it. Even did.
- 15:52When did you start cooking? No, they're they're scales.
- 15:57They're not a cooking pot. Yeah, but you weigh things.
- 16:01With scales you know to. Cook food.
- 16:05Arthur would have grammed out recipes in the 1870s.
- 16:12It's it's, it's more of a symbolic thing than a cooking
- 16:16thing. I suppose you could use them for
- 16:17cooking though. I mean, there are scales, right?
- 16:19Yeah, you know. And then I know she's got the
- 16:24shot shotgun, right? Because I remember having that
- 16:27whole discussion at the end of the episode last time of who was
- 16:30going to take the shotgun. I thought I was going to take
- 16:32the shotgun, actually. Yeah, you were going.
- 16:34To take the shotgun, I was like, was taking the shotgun.
- 16:37Also, I'm looking, I'm looking at the map, was Silsbee the town
- 16:41that we were? Was Silsby the town that you
- 16:44were in or was that the one that like?
- 16:46No, I think it was Silsby. Yeah, it must be Silsby.
- 16:49It sounds familiar, yeah. It was, yeah, that either one of
- 16:53you has the the shotgun. Neither of you have it marked
- 16:55down on your your character. I'm correcting that right now.
- 16:59I just need to find it. I thought it was here.
- 17:02Don't worry about it. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll get it
- 17:04taken care of, Dirk. I've just read my own character
- 17:07shoot and I've just realized I've put blessed hands and then
- 17:10in in the stats of just put fuck around and find out.
- 17:15Nice. Where where did you get the the
- 17:20shotgun? Bam it.
- 17:24You say that like it's the most casual.
- 17:28Thing look, you weren't here. I mean, it was, it was he.
- 17:30Killed the child like. I didn't kill no fucking child
- 17:34either. You.
- 17:35You, you literally shot a kid. Did I?
- 17:39Yes. Did you check?
- 17:42I mean, the kid didn't wake up. The kid was drunk.
- 17:46I don't care what kind of God, fairy man you are.
- 17:50Slick pulls out his gut and points it to Itchy, and there's
- 17:52a bang. Itchy falls to the ground in the
- 17:54Peter Griffin pose. Now now he just killed Itchy.
- 18:01I mean, I think Ichi. Ichi turns his head and he just
- 18:09slick. Wally, you shot me dead.
- 18:11I'm dying to death over Hill. And you, you, you watched.
- 18:21Slick reholsters his gun and he pulls down his sleeve and he's
- 18:24and you see that there's blanks on his sleeve guns.
- 18:31When? I just needed to get us out of
- 18:32that fucking train car. We could have got out of that
- 18:35train car once I knocked Ichi out and we would have all stayed
- 18:38together this whole time. It killed me too.
- 18:41Which, Arthur? I'm itchy.
- 18:46Sorry. The you know, nobody tells you
- 18:50that when you die, your short term memory kind of goes in and
- 18:54out. I didn't shoot him Arthur.
- 19:00If he sat and talked to me for 2 seconds I would have told you
- 19:02that we just needed to get itchy out of his mind or back into his
- 19:06mind so we could get out of there.
- 19:07I. Could have got him into his mind
- 19:10after I beat the shit out of his face.
- 19:13Maybe let's not beat the. Shit out of our friends though,
- 19:16like. He was frightening to kill a
- 19:18child. I I second maybe not beating the
- 19:22shit out of our friends. I mean, it, it, it, he, he was
- 19:29100% serious about killing. A child, which is why I made him
- 19:34think that I killed the child so we could go.
- 19:37Time was more important. OK, man, whatever.
- 19:44What? Where are we?
- 19:46Are we? Is it just a wanted man now?
- 19:50Oh, I've got something else to tell you that I completely
- 19:53forgot to tell you on the train. Those coyotes that were like.
- 19:58Running. Up and down, Yeah.
- 20:00Weird. Shit.
- 20:01Yeah, they are like scouts for Lilith and they have my scent
- 20:11now, so she knows where we are. I mean, I there ain't really
- 20:17shit we can do about that at this point, is there?
- 20:19No, but yeah, there's a lot going on on the train and.
- 20:26Yeah, in hindsight, the train may not have been the best idea.
- 20:29I think it was the smartest idea, but a lot of bad shit
- 20:32happened there. So do I take like the?
- 20:37The the I'm going to stream like a day.
- 20:39More ride to Beaumont and then. Now that we can take our time,
- 20:43we're not trying to rush. I guess we're headed there to
- 20:45take a new train though, ain't we?
- 20:46So. I'm assuming so.
- 20:50I mean, it may not be the best idea, but it's the fastest one.
- 20:54They'd rather not ride all the way there.
- 20:56Hey Ichi, have you got a razor? Oh yeah, actually hang on, yeah,
- 21:02I do. And Ichi rummages through
- 21:05Evander's satchel and pulls out a a nice looking straight razor
- 21:10and he just kind of flips it up and hands it blade side away to
- 21:14Arthur. OK, son.
- 21:16OK, son, sit down. We're giving you a haircut.
- 21:19What? Oh my my curly lacks.
- 21:22Why? You're a wanted manager, we need
- 21:24to make you look as different as possible.
- 21:26But but these are my calling cards.
- 21:29To be fair, aren't there? I'm pretty sure we're going to
- 21:31get to Beaumont faster than any news.
- 21:34Yes, there's there's. Also, we saw the state of the
- 21:36train that we left, yeah. That's true.
- 21:37That is true. I didn't really fuck up that
- 21:41engine. I mean, so did the pile of bones
- 21:44that we were running into. That's also true, yeah.
- 21:48I think we're pretty safe on that front.
- 21:50If there's any wanting this coming from that, it's going to
- 21:53take a while to get to anywhere. Arthur flourishes the the
- 21:56straight razor and froze like closes it and froze it over to
- 22:00itchy and. He goes.
- 22:01That's Plan B. All right.
- 22:05Can we get going now? Yeah, let's go.
- 22:08All right, Q travel montage. Q Travel montage.
- 22:24And we went through the desert on some horses with no names,
- 22:28except two of them had names. On the road again.
- 22:32Just can't wait to get on back down on the road again with my
- 22:37friends and I'm alive somehow and we killed Famine.
- 22:42Some beautiful songs maybe. Maybe.
- 22:44Don't say that too loud. Itchy.
- 22:47Wait, Itchy? Yeah, I need to get, I need to
- 22:49telegram my cousin Nelson. That's lyrics he got there.
- 22:58You have a cousin named Nelson Wiley.
- 23:01Wiley Nelson, actually. Her cousins.
- 23:06Different last name. All right.
- 23:12You know, we, our generation may not, may not get that, but our
- 23:17grandkids, they'll probably love that.
- 23:22Take one pint of socket. Thank you.
- 23:27Hey, all I'm saying is he's back, baby.
- 23:33This is what This is what happens when your wife starts
- 23:36listening to old Wild West and you remember what this character
- 23:41was supposed to be. Donkey from Shrek, but as a man,
- 23:44yes. With a donkey that if.
- 23:48She's the donkey and Evander was the Shrek.
- 23:51Yes, it's reverse shrektuation. Oh man, I can't wait to find the
- 23:59dragon. This episode's called Reverse.
- 24:12Oh God. Oh this is great.
- 24:14A week after a well deserved rest, we get reverse
- 24:16stretchuation. Hell yeah.
- 24:32So Ichi, I want to know how you're feeling.
- 24:38You know, I got to tell you, I think Itchy's on ironically.
- 24:44I mean physically not feeling great, but like mental,
- 24:47emotional, he's like he's feeling great.
- 24:51Yeah, it was like a force reset. Yeah, I mean, he like he died,
- 24:57he came back to life and he's just like, ha, shit, cool.
- 25:02So I think like the like, even as the adrenaline of the battle
- 25:06kind of wears off and it the like manic itchy energy like
- 25:10goes away, I think he's still like, he's in good spirits.
- 25:13He's trying to like crack jokes. Like, you know, he, he's like,
- 25:18look man, it's life is too short to be too serious all the time.
- 25:24How long do we think Itchy was dead?
- 25:25For Like 45 seconds. 90 seconds. Something like that.
- 25:28I don't even know if it was not a very long time dilation.
- 25:31Yeah, it happened. It happened fast.
- 25:33So I think Itchy, what you will remember very, very clearly from
- 25:38your time and being dead was that you were chained to a rock
- 25:45somewhere incredibly hot. You were just chained to a rock
- 25:49and you're surrounded by thousands of other faceless
- 25:54people chained to rocks, screaming.
- 25:57Then before you could even like look around or like understand
- 25:59what was happening, you were back up.
- 26:01That's all. But you'll have the memory.
- 26:04Well, sailors rather be here than there.
- 26:10Rather be here than where. You didn't hear what I was
- 26:13saying. I was saying when I was dead.
- 26:16I woke up and I was I was chained to a rock and I looked
- 26:19around and there were some faceless people.
- 26:22And then all of a sudden, whoop, I'm back.
- 26:25Arthur, are you not paying attention?
- 26:26He he just said this like. No.
- 26:32You know what's rude? Not to pay attention when your
- 26:34friends are telling a story, son.
- 26:37There's a lot has happened in the last 48 hours without trying
- 26:41to to process myself. All right, you know what?
- 26:44I'll give you that. I apologize.
- 26:47There's one line that's that's been sticking in my head from
- 26:50that. No one fella.
- 26:51And that and it was when. Clarice said she was in hell for
- 26:55the last eight years, literally. I think maybe that's where I was
- 27:00too question mark. So you died and went to hell,
- 27:05which makes sense. We sold our souls.
- 27:06You know and. Then it makes sense.
- 27:07But. I mean, I, I can only assume it
- 27:10was hot, there was a rock, kind of scary chains, you know, the
- 27:14whole 9. So if, if it's leaving an impact
- 27:18on me of all people and I was dead for, I don't know, let's
- 27:22say 45 seconds, I can only imagine what it's what it was
- 27:26like for being down there for eight years.
- 27:28Oh boy, sorry. That was, I think, a little
- 27:33insensitive. My fault.
- 27:36I'd like the immediate anger you're typing now.
- 27:43Is that a telegram in your pocket or are you just happy to
- 27:46see me? I'm just just happy to see you
- 27:48at you. Don't worry about me, I'm doing,
- 27:52I'm doing research for a future episode.
- 27:55Are you are you sending Riley plans on how to kill me?
- 27:58No. I was like very concerned there
- 28:00for a second. It felt like it was happening so
- 28:03quickly. I wanted to wait for you to.
- 28:06How to poison someone? What year did we say we're in?
- 28:111873, right? Yeah, yeah.
- 28:14Yeah, never mind. What?
- 28:15Year did arsenic. What year was arsenic invented?
- 28:19No, I I was finding out what year adrenaline was you started
- 28:24to be used as in a medical. Frontage.
- 28:26Oh my God. I was.
- 28:28Going to I was going to cause myself to die and then be like,
- 28:31give me 10 minutes and then stick me with this a gentleman.
- 28:3410 minutes you wouldn't dump. Back so wow, the episode where
- 28:42Arthur goes to hell briefly. Arthur would go to hell for
- 28:48Clarice. We all know this.
- 28:49We do. It's beautiful.
- 28:51Love is a beautiful thing and I'm sure she would love to see
- 28:54you in hell. What was that Greek?
- 28:56What was the guy at the Greek myth?
- 28:59What's his name? Fucking Persephone's husband.
- 29:03Persephone. Hades.
- 29:04Hades. No, no, no are.
- 29:06You talking about Orpheus and urides and urides?
- 29:09This is what I'm talking. About Orpheus, Yeah.
- 29:12This is more like Odysseus and. Penelope.
- 29:16Penelope Yeah, it's just going to be a 10 year long journey for
- 29:20me to find my wife again. Yeah, every man's dream.
- 29:25Yeah, honestly, if I got married tomorrow and there was like,
- 29:28we're going to go to fight a 10 year war and then you're going
- 29:31to come back on a boat and get lost for 10 years of like you
- 29:33sound, write a book about me. All right, so slick.
- 29:51How the fuck are you holding up? This has been a day and also
- 29:56like you're kind of a badass. I mean, you're the only one in
- 29:58this group that now has like a kill on any sort of real daemon
- 30:03that. Yeah, that does remind me Slick,
- 30:06while while we're riding, Slick has pulled out his pocket knife
- 30:10and he's etching another notch into his gun.
- 30:14Nice. How many notches?
- 30:17Do you have casually? God, I don't remember.
- 30:19What did we say? I think I had 12 in the packet
- 30:23episode and this is the first one I've technically added even
- 30:26though I've killed like some minor shit.
- 30:28But whatever, it's not important.
- 30:29But so I think 13. Lucky number.
- 30:32Lucky #13I. Think I think it was 12, I don't
- 30:35remember. Yeah, we'll say.
- 30:37We'll say you're at 13 now, 13 notches.
- 30:39It's a respectable number. Otherwise, I mean, he's, I think
- 30:44he's also just sort of looking at these scales.
- 30:46Can he figure out anything about them?
- 30:47Like are they special? Are they just scales?
- 30:49Like what's the deal with these things?
- 30:53Right now they're just scales. Just scales.
- 30:56In your hand, you they're just cold and metallic.
- 31:01They're not particularly old. They're not particularly new.
- 31:04There seems to be nothing special at all about them.
- 31:07It seems to be they were only special in the hands of a demon.
- 31:13OK, roll and analyze. Oh good, because I'm good at
- 31:17that. Well, you know.
- 31:20Let's see 15. You get the feeling that if
- 31:25these were in non human hands, perhaps they would be of greater
- 31:30value. OK.
- 31:34OK. I have a thought for those.
- 31:35I'm going to put them back in, back in the saddlebags.
- 31:38OK, excellent. And I think if there's nothing
- 31:41else that the three of you want to process on your road to
- 31:45Beaumont, that we find you sort of around noon on the next day
- 31:50riding into town. Anybody fancy a beer?
- 31:55Yes. Please I'm.
- 31:58Going to pull up to the closest saloon.
- 32:01Yeah, there are ample salons here.
- 32:03Beaumont is a boom town at this stage.
- 32:07I did my research this time and for all of our listeners in
- 32:10Beaumont, TX, it's a hellhole. It's a shit hole.
- 32:13There are 9 better cities in Texas than yours. 9 you.
- 32:18Know what we've not? Been to a single place in the
- 32:22whole of Texas so far where rives not going.
- 32:24I'm sorry that you live in a shit hole.
- 32:27Yeah, I am sorry that you live in a shit hole.
- 32:29You know what the best city in Texas is?
- 32:32It's Fort Worth. Next question.
- 32:35I can't say anything. I don't know.
- 32:36It doesn't matter. Any of you can come here and
- 32:41fight me. I live in Massachusetts.
- 32:43That should make you even angrier that I have an opinion
- 32:45on your state. All right, you guys find this
- 32:51saloon. What is the saloon called?
- 32:53Somebody who has cognitive ability, please name it.
- 32:56Otherwise, we're going to end up with we need a new saloon name.
- 33:00The rusty spoke is. That like the rusty trombone.
- 33:03We could. Do nothing like the rusty
- 33:05trombone. We could do a a TRT reference
- 33:09and call it the Rusty Nail. You could call it the rusty
- 33:12nail. Is it the rusty nail do we
- 33:16abandon? It is the rusty nail, OK.
- 33:17It can be the rusty nail. Great, it's cannon then.
- 33:22The next one is going to be called the crusty snail. 100%.
- 33:26Done. Yeah, here you guys are in the
- 33:41Rusty Nail. It's like a fairly bustling
- 33:44saloon. There are people playing cards
- 33:45over in the corner. It's not like particularly grimy
- 33:48in here. It's like nicer.
- 33:50It's obviously in the sound, like the fanciest saloon you've
- 33:53ever been in, but like, nobody's looking twice at the three of
- 33:56you. You're just dusty travelers in a
- 33:58dusty town full of other dusty travelers.
- 34:01Beth. Beth Alf is going to walk.
- 34:04To the bar be like free bears. Coming up.
- 34:11Ichi is going to walk to the table of the card players and
- 34:16he's just going to are you guys playing Kurds?
- 34:22Yeah. Are you trying to play?
- 34:24Yeah, I'll play. Deal me in.
- 34:27Great. I'm drinking his beer.
- 34:32And you sit down at the table and itchy only a gambling check.
- 34:37I'm gonna I'm gonna watch the table.
- 34:40Yeah. Could I hang on gambling?
- 34:45Would I be able to like? Would I be able to use like
- 34:50augment this role with my mind reading skill?
- 34:53Yeah, absolutely. Roll for it.
- 34:56All right, OK, Mind reading is one success and 11 and gambling
- 35:04is a three and a four. OK so no successes on your
- 35:09gambling check. I will let you use one success
- 35:13from your itchy special times points check your mind reading
- 35:17check as one success in gambling and how much money are you
- 35:21ponying up for this game? I'm not going to do anything too
- 35:26crazy. I'm going to pony up, I'll say 5
- 35:30bucks. OK, awesome.
- 35:33Roll two more dice for me. All right, Just straight.
- 35:37Yeah, that's a two and a six. Cool, you win $8 all.
- 35:45Right, it'll take it. Can I watch the table to see if
- 35:49there's any? Like if there's any ends that I
- 35:51could do to maybe get an end if I wanted to sit down at the
- 35:54table. Yeah, I mean, you could just.
- 35:57Like if there's any like tells or anything from any of the
- 35:59people. There are just some tired guys
- 36:02passing the time. There's no professional gamblers
- 36:04here. Nobody here is like an actual
- 36:06serious cards player. I mean, you are very easily able
- 36:09to pick that up. If you wanted to fleece them,
- 36:11you could. A normal person probably
- 36:13couldn't, but yeah, if you wanted to.
- 36:17I am broke as all fuck. Yeah, if you wanted to fleece
- 36:20them, you could. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and
- 36:23take as much money as I can from these guys.
- 36:27Fuck, Fuck their lives and fuck their.
- 36:29OK, Itchy, are you still playing?
- 36:32When are you still playing? When Slick sits dumb.
- 36:35Yeah. And I think Itchy just, I think
- 36:37Itchy just quickly, like quick glances at Slick and just like,
- 36:42I don't know, I don't, I don't want to wink.
- 36:44But Itchy's going to be a mark for Slick, assuming that he will
- 36:47get his money back. Yeah, no, perfect.
- 36:52Like distraction. Yeah, all right, slick, roll me
- 36:56a gambling check. That is a 2A5 and A6. 2
- 37:00successes and are you going to cheat?
- 37:05Fuck it, why not? I'm going for money here.
- 37:07All right, roll a scammetage. That is another 2-5 and six.
- 37:10It's the exact same fucking roll.
- 37:12All right, so we're going to count it as 4 successes on here,
- 37:15so go ahead and roll 4 dice. Fuck, and we'll just do it like
- 37:19this. You want the total.
- 37:23Yeah. 14 all right. Cool, you win $28.00 and the
- 37:29tables pretty much milked. All right, that's fine.
- 37:34They're kind of grumbling. Nice playing with you boys I.
- 37:39Think Itchy is going to also be good?
- 37:42Man, I can't fucking believe this guy.
- 37:45Eight of those dollars were yours, Itchy.
- 37:47That was all of the money that you'd won in the earlier game.
- 37:50Oh, I'm fully aware. So yes, let's just going to
- 37:55stand up and move back to the table with Arthur.
- 37:58You make a look. I'd say so.
- 38:00I mean, I bought as much as I can get from broke town like
- 38:04this. Yeah, fair enough.
- 38:07I made enough to at least buy some tickets on the next train.
- 38:09I didn't have that. That that's a bonus.
- 38:11No back back in sub for you? No, I don't mind.
- 38:15Yeah. I can fleece them.
- 38:19Do you think I could there's anywhere around here I could get
- 38:22a Bible? I would assume the church you.
- 38:27You look after that I'm. Just I'm going to walk to a
- 38:31church. Is that all I get that Arthur?
- 38:39We have a storied history together and all I get is that
- 38:44Itchy looks at the looks at the table of guys we sit.
- 38:48Can you all believe this? This guy left us alone again.
- 38:54Some travelling companion. Arthur's not even out the door
- 38:59yet. It's like.
- 39:01I'll be back in like 5 minutes. So, Arthur, as you're walking to
- 39:17the church, what are you thinking?
- 39:19What do you want with this fucking Bible, man?
- 39:22Well. I think back in, in England,
- 39:26Arthur would have stolen quite a few Bibles because, you know,
- 39:29back in those days they were very rare like, and they were
- 39:33commodities to be sold. And I feel like maybe you would
- 39:35have had a glance in look at some of the pages and Famine,
- 39:40obviously one of the four horsemen at the at the
- 39:42apocalypse that we know of as humans outside the game, a mate.
- 39:45And he probably would have seen Famine mentioned in the Bible.
- 39:49So I think he's just going to see, you know, if God's dead,
- 39:53what else is going to happen? You know, if they killed Famine,
- 39:56what else is there out there to to fight?
- 39:58So he wants just to go and get some reference material of other
- 40:03demons named demons. Yeah, fair enough.
- 40:07I don't think you have any problem snagging a Bible from
- 40:10the church and making your way back.
- 40:13I'm anything on your way back. You do see that there will be a
- 40:15train leaving that night at 8:00 PM heading east, stopping in New
- 40:23Orleans. I.
- 40:28Walk back into the Rusty Nail Saloon.
- 40:31In day spa and day. Spa Sorry I forgot the baseball
- 40:34part. A walk in and see, itchy and
- 40:39slick with cucumbers on their eyes.
- 40:42Yeah. Wait, is the day spot?
- 40:44Is the day spot attached to the saloon?
- 40:46Yes, it's. Just it's the bartender.
- 40:50It's the bartender just gives you some shit to put on your
- 40:53face. And they're not cucumbers, they
- 40:54are just Pickles. Itchy.
- 41:00The acids burn in my eyes a little bit.
- 41:03Itchy is somehow just wearing a towel.
- 41:06And she's totally disrobed and is just wearing his towels.
- 41:09That was happening. Yep.
- 41:10OK. Yeah, everybody else is just
- 41:12clothed. I I don't know.
- 41:17I don't know why I'm doing this. I'm going to pull it.
- 41:21I'm going to pull a chair and and sit on it so I'm facing
- 41:25slick instead of. Itch I don't need another,
- 41:32upshot did. You get what you needed.
- 41:35Yeah, there's a train leaving at 8:00 PM.
- 41:40Going through. New Orleans.
- 41:42Slick takes one of the Pickles off of his eyes and looks out
- 41:45the window. Can I figure out what time it
- 41:46is? Yeah. 2:00 PM.
- 41:50He puts the pickle back on. Have we got some time to kill?
- 41:53Hey, hey, Slick, you're going to eat those.
- 41:56Hell yeah, I'm going to dip it in this mayonnaise on my face
- 42:00too. Oh, so that's what that.
- 42:02Was. Sounds like the greasy face
- 42:07mask. Going it's not going to be great
- 42:12for my skin care routine, man. Well, these two are having a spa
- 42:18time. Arthur's just going to start
- 42:22researching through the Bible with his with his with his got.
- 42:28He's got his notebook out, which has previously been used for all
- 42:32the bounty targets. He's going to write down
- 42:37anything he can find about named demons.
- 42:39The the Four Horsemen, everything.
- 42:43Look at this guy reading in a spa.
- 42:46I ain't going to lie to you, Itchy.
- 42:48I didn't think Arthur could read.
- 42:50I am a very classy man, thank you very much.
- 42:55And that's where we'll live or leave the episode.
- 42:58Oh, I can't even speak. And that's where we'll live for
- 43:02the next month and 1/2. Oh, I'm going to kill myself.
- 43:34Since I gave a return, I made a mistake and say on the shin that
- 43:38I shouldn't say. There's only one thing that I
- 43:42can blame it all and. Whiskey.
- 43:59Straw.
