Transcript
- 0:00Welcome back to Red Dead Redemption 2. Chapter
- 0:032, Part 2. Episode 3, though. Too bad it wasn't
- 0:07Episode 2. Anyway, it's going to be a short episode
- 0:10today. Is there anything you want to say before
- 0:12we do the out -of -context summary? Nope. In
- 0:17this episode, we see an ever -elusive FBM. We're
- 0:22subject to 2 out of 3? 4 bodily fluids in this
- 0:27episode? How many are there? Oh, gosh. I don't
- 0:29know. At least four. Anyway, and that soup really
- 0:33offended Arthur. That might be the most upset
- 0:35that we've seen him. But that upset soup moment
- 0:39made me think of that would have been the same
- 0:42as John's reaction. I feel like John would have
- 0:45been like, man, it tastes like shit. It kind
- 0:48of would. Was it the taste or the temperature
- 0:51or both? We may never know. Thank you for coming
- 0:57back from our replay reviews. My name is Leah.
- 0:59And my name is Kathy. We are two friends who
- 1:01are here to replay, review, and analyze your
- 1:04favorite video games. And since Kathy has never
- 1:06seen the games before, it helps me view them
- 1:08through her fresh eyes, almost like I'm discovering
- 1:11them again for the first time. We hope it will
- 1:13be a similar experience for you. Alright, so
- 1:22we start out in the morning. Miss Grimshaw approaches
- 1:25Arthur, saying one of the girls saw Mary Gillis
- 1:28sniffing about, and she does not seem to be a
- 1:31fan of hers. Hosea then invites Arthur to go
- 1:35hunting for a bear. I don't know if you had any
- 1:39notes on their conversation. Yeah, my question
- 1:42is, we know John left, but under what circumstances?
- 1:46Was he kicked out of it temporarily because he
- 1:49did something wrong? Was he just pursuing something
- 1:51else? So the circumstances of why he left should
- 1:55be considered, even though we don't know what
- 1:57it is. All we just know is he's forgiven by everyone.
- 2:02Besides Arthur. I really want to know what John
- 2:05did for that year. Can we have a third game about
- 2:07that year, please? Arthur's line cracks me up
- 2:10where he's like, it's one thing to leave the
- 2:11boy, but to ditch us for a year? I'm like, Arthur,
- 2:15it is a big deal to leave your child. But also,
- 2:19how long ago was this? Exactly. I mean, we know
- 2:24that Jack was alive. I feel like it was pretty
- 2:26when Jack was pretty young and he's probably
- 2:28just freaked out. I mean, he's not old. John
- 2:32is a young man in this game. Not saying I condone
- 2:35it, but I kind of feel like that's probably what
- 2:37happened. But then it also seems like Arthur
- 2:39wasn't mad on behalf of Jack, though. I think
- 2:42it was more of a betrayal friendship, even though
- 2:45Dutch and Hosea have forgiven him. Yeah, I agree.
- 2:51We also hear mention of a woman named Bessie,
- 2:54who it sounds like was Hosea's wife? Common law
- 2:59wife? And they stayed together despite the gang.
- 3:02He says they made it work. But he also says you
- 3:06can't really get out of this life. I feel like
- 3:09that's kind of a big call back to the first game.
- 3:13Or is it a foreshadow to the first game? Yeah,
- 3:16what is it? I don't know. But it carries weight
- 3:18for the first game, for sure. So then they track
- 3:23the bear. They set a trap in the middle of the
- 3:26hole. Let's rearrange this trap. The bear comes
- 3:29out. immediately after setting that trap and
- 3:32hosea panics hosea the same man who says i was
- 3:36virtually weaned on bear meat and making it such
- 3:39a not a big deal to him until this moment happens
- 3:43and then he thanks arthur for saving his life
- 3:45because arthur shoots the bear but it also makes
- 3:47me feel like hosea probably realizes that he's
- 3:52not that young and quick on his feet anymore
- 3:56yeah I questioned him going to check the bait.
- 4:01That just seemed like a really bad idea. But
- 4:03yeah, Hosea decides to go back to camp while
- 4:05Arthur stays out to handle other business, which
- 4:08is going to find Reverend Swanson. Why is this
- 4:12Reverend getting so drunk? I think that's my
- 4:16only note about him. Fair. Yeah, Arthur finds
- 4:19him drunk and getting played at poker. Is this
- 4:23the first time we see Arthur be a little scary?
- 4:26Verbally wise, not in terms of like punching
- 4:29people. There's just something about the dialogue
- 4:32in this scene that hits different. I think so.
- 4:36I think it's more aggressive. Aggressive and
- 4:39protective, like threat. I don't know. Now, firstly,
- 4:42we ain't friends. Don't make no mistake on that
- 4:45subject. Now, secondly, he can't hardly see,
- 4:47let alone reason. Now, reasoning ain't never
- 4:50been one of my strong points neither, but seeing
- 4:52I do just fine. You want to step outside or do
- 4:55a business here? I liked the dialogue a lot in
- 4:58this scene, though. Speaking of dialogue, Arthur
- 5:01doing this big, tough paragraph, followed by
- 5:05Swanson going, can't we all just get along? And
- 5:11then him crawling away when Arthur sits down
- 5:13to beat them at poker. Yeah. Arthur did seem
- 5:19very enthusiastically happy that he won, though,
- 5:22when he was scooping in all that money. He did
- 5:25look very happy. I will say he makes that face
- 5:28every time he wins poker. This scene, though,
- 5:31he is like the most animated I've seen of him
- 5:34yet. I wonder if he's starting to just, I mean,
- 5:37like thaw out from the mountains. Not physically,
- 5:40but you know what I mean? Like life feels a little
- 5:43lighter now. Arthur loses track of Swanson after
- 5:47he crawls away and finds him on the train bridge
- 5:51with his foot stuck and manages to save them
- 5:54both just in time. Arthur must have been pissed.
- 5:58Moving on. We're back at camp. Uncle put that
- 6:06ass back under its flap. But FBM, full booty
- 6:11moment for those of you who are new here. And
- 6:14it's a nice square cutout showing his butt and
- 6:17crack. Very highlighted. But we had to call out
- 6:23Uncle shaking his ass like that. Arthur then
- 6:27checks in with Strauss who asks him to collect
- 6:29debt from people he's loaned money to. On the
- 6:32way out to the first one, he finds a blind man
- 6:35and gives him a dollar. That was kind of nice
- 6:39of Arthur to do so because I didn't think he
- 6:42would. And then the man immediately becomes a
- 6:44fortune teller. Yep. He says you're her. He says
- 6:50you're. Why can't I say that? Your whole. Wow,
- 6:58that is so hard for me to say. Your whole life,
- 7:00sir. Your whole life, sir. You have followed
- 7:03the wrong star. Whoa. That's a weird tongue twister.
- 7:09So he gets to Emerald Ranch where he's looking
- 7:12for the first debtor. And I ask some guy where
- 7:16she is. And he goes, uh -uh -uh. And that irritated
- 7:20me. You're not happy. It was so rude. The second
- 7:24guy at least went, oh, I don't know. Didn't completely
- 7:26just be a jackass and dismiss Arthur. Anyway,
- 7:29so I had to. antagonize him but he asked for
- 7:31it we do find her we collect the debt and then
- 7:36we collect the other two debts any notes on any
- 7:39of the debt collecting for you no i just have
- 7:42one which is uh the final guy the candle being
- 7:46lit and you noted it too oh yeah the detail of
- 7:49the candle getting blown out when he pushes the
- 7:51guy to the side is just crazy to me The fact
- 7:53that they even thought about that is nuts. They're
- 7:56also making horse poop, so the level of detail
- 7:59in this game is pretty on point. I might be making
- 8:03this up, but they might fart more when they're
- 8:05fat. Your horse can get fat. Really? Do you feed
- 8:08your horses? And too skinny. Yeah. Oh. So Arthur
- 8:13returns to camp where Grimshaw says that Hosea
- 8:16is waiting for him at Emerald Ranch when he has
- 8:18a chance. And when he returns the debt to the
- 8:22- Camp Cashbox, Strauss tells him there is one
- 8:25more debt to collect, Mr. Downs. Okay, final
- 8:30scene in the episode and maybe the best scene
- 8:34in the game. The most entertaining, I'll say.
- 8:38So Lenny rides into Camp Frantic and tells Dutch
- 8:41and Arthur that Micah has been arrested in Strawberry
- 8:43and there's talk of hanging him. Can we take
- 8:46a moment to discuss Arthur's reaction? I mean,
- 8:49I think he knew this was bound to happen. And
- 8:53I... I think Arthur was just also more pissed
- 8:56at the fact that Lenny almost got lynched. He's
- 8:59not having it. And I love it. They nearly lynched
- 9:02me. They got Micah and the sheriffs in Strawberry.
- 9:07And there's talk of hanging them. Here's hoping.
- 9:10Arthur. What? He does not want to go rescue Micah,
- 9:13but Dutch tells him that he has to, basically.
- 9:16And he says, kind of along the lines of, okay,
- 9:18I'll do it, but when I feel like it. But then
- 9:21Dutch also tells... arthur to take lenny to get
- 9:24drunk which is like if you're really in that
- 9:27much of a rush why would you offer to get someone
- 9:31drunk knowing they can't immediately rescue michael
- 9:34then i wonder if there's a little bit of like
- 9:36we're gonna let you sit there a minute so you
- 9:40don't do something stupid again but i think arthur
- 9:43let him sit forever yeah i noted dutch said get
- 9:47him drunk and also and no crazy business Isn't
- 9:51that a little bit of an oxymoron, Dutch? Doesn't
- 9:54Dutch know better to send them to get drunk?
- 9:59This scene is insane. I absolutely love it. I
- 10:02love the we're going to fight turning into we're
- 10:05doing the can -can. I don't like Lenny's face
- 10:08on the prostitute. Or on everyone else's face.
- 10:14It's so funny. I had to obviously blur that,
- 10:18so I showed you the... The unedited version so
- 10:23you can see how disturbing it is. Yeah. But Arthur's
- 10:26scream is just priceless. So good. Well, that
- 10:30was also right after he was peeing, right? Or
- 10:34right before. Yeah. Yeah. Our eyes were assaulted
- 10:37in this episode between Uncle's ass and prostitute
- 10:41Lenny hybrid. Same with Arthur. True. True. Well,
- 10:47on that note. Wait, I would also want to say
- 10:49the transitions. during this entire scene is
- 10:51insane it's like wild because one second they're
- 10:55slapping each other and then then they're drinking
- 10:58again and then they're waterboarding a man and
- 11:01then they're back to having like a jolly good
- 11:03time it's just whiplash then running from the
- 11:07cops yeah it's insane throwing up i will say
- 11:09i'm very nervous about what's gonna happen because
- 11:12we don't see lenny in the end it makes me very
- 11:15nervous because we know this game is about redemption
- 11:18and so far i don't quite know exactly what he
- 11:21needs to redeem himself from so my theory in
- 11:24this moment until i see lenny is lenny's gonna
- 11:26die and then arthur is going to need to redeem
- 11:30himself to get some redemption for letting lenny
- 11:33die so that's my theory very nervous i hope he
- 11:36doesn't die and i hope my theory is wrong yeah
- 11:39lenny gets tackled by the cops so arthur's taking
- 11:41a pp and he just runs for it which i feel like
- 11:45that's what lenny would want him to do But yeah,
- 11:48what's going to happen to Lenny? I'm very nervous
- 11:51about that. Young Leonard. But also, how frequent
- 11:54is Arthur getting drunk to the point of being
- 11:56just like blackout drunk? Because he says, not
- 11:58again. I don't really know how to wrap that scene
- 12:04up. But it happened. And it's glorious. Yeah.
- 12:08I hope you enjoyed it. It's like a fever dream
- 12:10for Arthur. Any more notes from you in Chapter
- 12:162, Part 2? No, but I'm going to be nervous about
- 12:20what happens to Lenny until we can watch the
- 12:23next part. Agreed. We'll be back next week for
- 12:28the next part of Chapter 2. Audacity on one.
