  SPEAKER_02: We start every episode off with a philosophical debate, a moral dilemma, a conundrum, and then it devolves into a fist fight, as those things often do.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: But what sets us apart and what makes us so special is that before we do that, we got to get a little drunk and we have to get a little high.

• 4:31
  SPEAKER_04: It may it's it's one of those that really mellows you out and kind of elevates your mind also.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_04: It's got a lot of euphoria and a lot of body high.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_04: So you just kind of sink in and your mind floats away.

  SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I should have gone third because Jonas was a very, very detailed answer, and I'm gonna credit it all the time.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: You had to think about it.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_02: Um I just think about that new every day.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: I also just thought I thought for the first time about how that's gonna sound to people.

  SPEAKER_00: That like my answer.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't thinking about that when I first thought about it.

• 18:50
  SPEAKER_04: No, I thought it was a great answer.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_04: Because it's it's it's uh it's that wonderful dramatic irony because everybody says, you know, oh, world peace, world peace is the answer, but you achieved it through wit, charm.

  SPEAKER_02: I did.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so yeah.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I just that's my last request.

  SPEAKER_02: And that was seven years ago, and and here we are.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's crazy.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_04: I think it's a real testament to how much uh the Chicagoland area fucking blows.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_04: I think that I really wanted to get out of there super bad, and I was willing to uproot everything, take any out, even from this man I barely care about.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_00: Speaking of super bad, James.
• 22:00

  SPEAKER_00: Forgetting or announcing the names.
• 25:49
  unknown: Forgetting.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna be real with you guys.

  SPEAKER_00: There's no better sign that like that was not a great pick.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_02: Robert Langdon.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_02: Tom Hanks is Robert Langdon.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: So the reason I thought about this.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: Tom Hanks.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_04: He's not fictional, but just versus Tom Hanks in DaVinci Cook.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_04: Wasn't he Walt Disney in one of his things?
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_04: Well, Walt Disney, I guess, is real.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_04: Did he do that?
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_04: Pretty sure he did.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_04: Did he really?
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_02: Because I mean he did uh he did uh the guy who just dodged a bunch of geese.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_04: Oh wait, no, no, no.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_04: He did he was the Mary Poppins producer.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_04: No, I thought he thought he was Disney movie.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_02: In that Mary Poppins creation movie.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_02: Emerald, you're a huge Tom Hanks fan.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_02: What did he do?
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: I actually am, and I do believe that he was Walt Disney.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: Boom.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: Tom Hanks did Walt Disney.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_02: You do the castaway.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_02: The anti-Semite.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_02: That's where Tom Hanks went.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_00: Well.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of people forget Disney was a not a great guy.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_04: They're like, oh, but the times, everyone was like that.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_04: And it turns out, if you like look back, not everybody was like that.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_04: And there were actually some people that were particularly shitty.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_02: But he gave us Mickey Mouse.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_02: So anyway.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_02: So, all right, before we jump into that fucking thing.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, so it's time to get into the second portion of our episode.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_02: We are sufficiently drunk, we're sufficiently high.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: How this works is a guaranteed patented method to get you the best results to determine if Robert Langdon is going to defeat Ghost Race.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_04: The burning questions of our society.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_04: You know, the funny thing is they're the same person.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I was so you know at the end of the first scream where he like starts walking straight and it's Tom Hanks.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: Um but we have guaranteed patented method to get you results.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_02: It starts with round one, where these characters enter into a legally distinct Applebee's to go down to the Gen X fight club bar where they just punch each other to death.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_02: Where they just punch each other to death, pound for pound, punch for punch, until one of them is not moving anymore while Cher looks on.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_02: Round two, we enter into a city view where these characters have 24 hours to defeat the other one, and they have access to everything that makes them them.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um and that's important to point out because in round one they have nothing.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_02: Where else is Gen X gonna go to punch each other to death?
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_02: Gen X loves Applebee's, like for real.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, especially once they had those unlimited apps, forget about it.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and so then round three is the same as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_02: So transferring into round one, we've entered the Applebee's, we've gone downstairs.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_02: We waved at Dave behind the bar.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_02: Hey Dave.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_04: We're here to do our fight club.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_02: We've entered into the Applebee's, we've gone downstairs.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_02: Uh a legally distinct Tyler Durden played by Val Kilmer is explaining the rules.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_02: Meanwhile, Cher and Carl Urban are escorted up to the box seats, followed by the high and dry philosophers, and we're ready to get this fight on.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_02: Val Kilmer has explained the rules, punch for punch, no items, no weapons, nothing beyond anything that is intrinsic to them.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_02: He rings the bell and the fight starts.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_02: Ghostface against Tom Hanks from fucking DaVinci Code.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_02: Guests first, Emerald, what do you think is gonna happen here?
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I think that Ghostface is gonna ask Robert Langdon what his favorite scary movie is.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_04: Peter Pan, it always gets me.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_04: I just have this weird thing about being taken out of my body.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_03: That was Emerald.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: Why would you have me like that?
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my God.
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_01: Who load?
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_04: Ghostface is ready for that.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_04: Robert exploits the weakest.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, oh boy.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_02: Please, Emerald, continue.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_00: I I started it.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_00: I said what you punched.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_02: But then who punches who to death?
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_00: Definitely.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_00: Definitely.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_04: You can't say definitely now.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_04: There's a lot of there's a lot of room for error thrown in there.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_00: I think ghost face, right?
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_02: Ghostface.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_04: Just punches a bird language.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, that's probably what's gonna happen, right?
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I don't know.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_04: This isn't a mystery that he can solve.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_04: It's getting punched in the face.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_04: Uh well, do we have any pre- So who's the last person?
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_04: I feel like somebody's punching me in the face right now.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, what's what's the precedence here?
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_03: Um in the in the Da Vinci Code series.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_03: Is he ever just getting punched?
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_04: I don't think he's ever just getting wailed on by another human outside of an Applebee.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_00: I should not drink when you guys are talking.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_00: Oh shit.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_03: Oh well, uh uh James thoughts.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_03: I think Ghostface is gonna do what he does and then murder him.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_04: And and uh uh Robert will struggle, struggle to take the mask off of I think Ghostface has to have the need to reveal the truth.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_04: Sometimes we're like they can't have clothes, they can't have helmets or anything, but because Ghostface Killer's I I mean Ghostface is sorry, Ghostface's identity, the Ghostface fucking full and Wu-Tank.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_04: But uh Ghostface Killer's here now.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, dude, that's who that's his friend he's gonna bring.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_04: But but so Ghostface has been so many different people uh that uh you can't just have a a person there.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_04: He has to have the costume.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and I don't think it'll give him any kind of face protection.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_04: That doesn't matter.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_04: Because I think uh Robert Langdon, who is who says, I'm an academic, I don't think he's gonna handle getting murdered very well.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_04: Um my thoughts on it.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_04: Um He's never committed murder or defended himself from like a direct murder, as far as I Well, I mean I mean eventually there's the the the car chases.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_04: Um he does almost die, but I don't think he's ever been like only in a room with one person getting strangled to death and then had to defend himself.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_02: So at this point we gotta look at Ghostface himself.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_02: Like so Ghostface, he's great when he's got a knife.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know, but right now he's he's gotta rely on punching people.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_04: He's he's he's strangled, he's tried to strangle people before, and I think that he's done okay.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_04: Uh I think that usually usually ghost face is is um fought off by multiple people.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_04: I think when he gets one person alone, that person is is fucked, unless they're like plot person.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_04: But I guess does Dan Brown have pot he doesn't have I don't think Robert Lane has plot powers in the basement.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_04: But the basement is is a is an area free of story.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_02: Well, uh then I think the question that I have for the group here is so Ghostface is incapable of killing David Arquette.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but he was plot important.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_00: And and wait, did you hold on.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_00: Did you see the newest screen movie?
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_02: Not the newest one.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, because I thought that was a spoiler and I was gonna be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_02: This is this is only up I don't know if David Arquette finally gets killed.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I do not do that to me.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_02: I just know that David Arquette is in the newest screen.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, he survived quite a long time, but so has Ghostface.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_02: Well, can Tom Hanks be beat up David Arquette?
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's the heart of his question.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_00: No, I don't I don't think so.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: I think Tom Hanks is David Arquette's definitely hungrier than Tom Hanks.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_04: I think uh David David Arquette's been a wrestler.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_04: He was a professional wrestler for a while.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_00: David Arquette and Ghostface, what they have in common is the element of surprise.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_00: They're very who knows what's gonna happen, you know.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_04: You never know what they're gonna be able to accomplish.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_02: What what what what's gonna happen here is that we're gonna find out that Val Kilmer was fucking Ghostface the whole time.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_04: He takes the mask off of David Arquette's body because he's the real killer, and then then maybe he puts it on himself and continues killing Tom Hanks.
• 35:39
  unknown: Yeah.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_02: Sounds about right.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so Emerald, back to you.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_02: Final thoughts and a vote.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, Ghostface wins.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_04: All right, James.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, same.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_04: I I think that this professor is not, he has shown no martial arts capabilities.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I like it.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so there you have it.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_02: He goes three for three.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, Ghostface is taking this one against uh Robert Langum.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_02: There it is.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_02: Congratulations, Mr.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_02: Faith.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_02: So moving in to round two.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_02: So we've zoomed out into the city view.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_02: Both of these characters have received a manila envelope beneath their apartment doors.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_02: They now know that they have 24 hours to kill the other one.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_04: Ghostface is like, how am I gonna fit this into my killing people schedule?
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_04: Another one.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_02: So they have 24 hours to figure this out.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_02: They have everything that's accessible to them as a character.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um, additionally, they just go buy a gun.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so let's see what happens.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_04: We're gonna see if I can set a trap for some of the teenagers, and then I can he's like he's got a planner out.
• 36:50
  unknown: Oh god.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know, man.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_02: So Emerald.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_02: What time do they get out of school?
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_02: Emerald, what happens?
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_02: 24 hours.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_02: What goes down?
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so immediately Ghost Space uses the new technology to phone Robert Langdon as if he is his friend, who is letting him know that there's a clue downtown and that he has to come alone and that he's gotta go to the specific place, he's gonna meet him there, and it's the whole key to everything.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I love it.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_04: That's that's the story though.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_04: He's he's vulnerable to deception.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_04: Robert Langdon is incredibly vulnerable to deception.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_00: That's what Ghostface is all about.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he has people tricking him running all over the place in that fucking book.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_04: And when it was, and I swear to God, like the easiest poem in the world, and like it he turned it into a world traveling adventure.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_04: No, this was for the focus.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_04: Cause like he gets a full poem, and it's like incredibly easy to solve.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_04: Like, it's like an eight-line poem, and it's about Apple.
• 38:06
  SPEAKER_04: Like, he gets a cryptex.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_04: There's John Oliver did a fucking uh web short about this.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_04: Check it out, go watch it.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, but the fucking cryptex is Apple, like in the English language, and that's the code for it.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_04: And there's a poem where it's like Isaac Newton, this thing fell from the heavens.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_04: Uh like it's very clearly Apple.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_04: This guy's a fucking idiot.
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_04: I gotta go to London and see what this is about.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm happy that he has the financial resources to just do a fucking boondocker like my.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_04: I'm glad I'm so glad that resources are allocated to the people who can use them most effectively and wisely by the free hand of the market.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, the invisible invisible hand of the free market.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_04: I think that uh I think that the system is perfect.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_02: Well, about this perfect system, I would say that because I mean Ghostface, he'd like to start with uh what's your scary movie?
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_02: Langdon would turn this.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_02: He doesn't fucking know.
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_02: This is a mystery.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_02: I've never seen a movie before.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_02: I'm an academic.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_02: He's now got to figure out this puzzle of what's his favorite movie.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_03: And as soon as you put him, as soon as you put him into a puzzle, he is not gonna die until the puzzle has been solved.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_03: And and I I think because Ghostface starts you with a with a simple puzzle that a child could solve.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_04: He can make a whole movie out of it.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_02: John Langdon can make a movie out of it.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_02: Robert! Robert!
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_04: You got I'm so glad you got Langdon, though.
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're getting there.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_02: We're getting there, we're getting there.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_02: And and I think, well, I think because um Ghost Space is gonna put Bobby into a puzzle that he has to solve right off the bat that eventually he is going well, the police are gonna kill Ghostface in Paris or some shit.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_04: He's gonna fall into he's gonna fall off a building with a dramatic, dramatic discussion.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_04: That's my thoughts.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_02: I thought of your puzzle.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what I think is gonna go down.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_02: So um, Emerald.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_02: Stupid.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_02: Back to you.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, what are your final thoughts?
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_02: And and what's a vote?
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, my one of my final thoughts is that it's interesting the choice that James made on the laugh that's less broken.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's an interesting choice.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um if that is the case, I agree that if a puzzle was put into place, Robert Lane is not gonna die until it's solved, at least, you know?
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um, or possibly not a lot of.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of a caveat there.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_00: But if it were if it went my way and he was tricked thinking that it was somebody he trusted, Ghostface would kill him.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's a tough call.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_02: So are you are you saying a tie?
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_02: Who wins most times out of a hundred?
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'm saying that I'm gonna say two things.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say that you actually stole my thing from the first question, which was that he asked what the scary movie was.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um, two points for originality.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_00: Uh number two, I'm gonna say First off, asshole.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_00: Number two, I'm gonna say that my scenario is more likely, so it's not a tie.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_00: I believe that in my scenario again, Ghostface would win.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_00: Ghostface, Robert Langdon actually has a chance.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_04: So it's just so interesting because Robert Langdon has never had someone like hunt him with a knife in his story.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_04: Say people hunt him with guns.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_04: People don't really hunt him with guns.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_04: They're like, so what they do is they like force, they're like nobody could solve this eight-line rhyme, and and it has to be him, and so we have to let him explore and and solve this incredibly easy clue.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_04: And um, and so they like need him to succeed to get to the end, and that's where they're going to betray him.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_04: But Ghostface has like no no compunctions about that.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_04: He literally just has to like work it into his schedule when he's gonna haunt this man around every corner and until he slashes him to death.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_02: Stuff goal.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_02: Well, do well.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_02: Do you think that the power of plot is gonna save Bobby?
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_00: It would.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_00: I believe it would.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_04: It's it's such a dumb question.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_04: It's such a dumb question.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, look at the characters in the past who have taken plot and won with it.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you have fucking Harry Potter.
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you got uh Harry Potter.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_02: That's all in the world.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_04: Ghostface doesn't win in his movies, but that would preclude him from ever winning round two or three.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and I and I don't think that's true.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_04: I I wonder if uh I wonder if Robert Langdon would be a side character.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, he's a teacher.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_04: He's a professor.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_04: If if Ghostface's theme is powerful enough, uh teachers have died via Ghostface.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_00: Do you remember when the Fawns died because of Ghostface?
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_00: No, you don't?
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, I I I remember, but I'm just like, oh, I'm just starting to worry about Bobby here.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_04: I uh personally, I I don't think that uh Robert Landon can escape Ghostface.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_04: I think Ghostface has had I I want this movie though.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_04: I do want this movie, yeah.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_04: It'd be I'd I'd love to see who could who do you think could take it?
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_04: Denny Villeneuve?
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_04: The Dune Man?
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_04: Put him with Ghostface versus Tom Langman.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_03: Well, here's what I Robert Fox!
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_02: No, you do Tom.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's Tom Langdon now.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_02: Well, here's what I'd like to do.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_02: So we it's it's pretty clear now that we have a two right off the bat.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_02: This is going straight to Ghostface.
• 44:27
  SPEAKER_02: Um so what I would like to do then is uh one more drink.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_02: Oh no.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_02: You know, here's one to here's one to ghost face.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_02: Here's one to Emerald.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_02: This has been a really fun episode.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, here we go, I guess.
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_00: I really appreciate that after I just ripped you apart in this round.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_00: Cheers.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_00: Cheers.
• 44:50
  SPEAKER_02: One of the magical things about high and dry is when two of the philosophers vote one way, the third person votes that way as well.
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_02: It was just a magical thing that kind of occurs.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_00: This is really friendly, yeah.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_02: That's like all I ever could have.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_02: But what I do kind of want to do though Ghostface won this.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's there's no disputing sweep.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_04: I would still like to know what happens in round three.
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_04: Well, round three, he has he has other people.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_04: And the people around him are uh are around Robert Langdon are definitely manipulating him toward a goal.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_04: And so then he is unstoppable.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_04: At that point, he's unstoppable.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_02: So Robert Langdon brings the Illuminati.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, he essentially brings the power of the Catholic Church down to bear on anyone who would stop him from solving this very simple.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_03: It's very cool poem.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um I like the poem of the Illuminati though, or like uh something very, you know, in line with the whole like uh anonymous mask kind of thing, you know.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, I think that Ghostface is bringing Ghostface Killer.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_04: I think uh obviously of the Wu-Tang clan.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_04: But sadly, uh not a fictional character.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_00: I wish the listeners could have been that.
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_02: For those of you at home, I I did the W.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_02: That one's for you, Ghostface.
• 46:29
  SPEAKER_04: Alright, so uh I don't know.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_04: The Catholic Church has sure caused untold levels of destruction.

  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, you can do anything.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you could do anything.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'd be watching it.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, just two hours of him staring at the camera.
• 47:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_04: I love prolonged eye contact.
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_02: Uh this is weird.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_02: I'm coming out of a fader and I think I'm in love.
• 47:59
  SPEAKER_04: I've never felt a human connection that strong as when I was staring at that screen.
• 48:04
  SPEAKER_02: Occasionally he like clears his throat.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I got shivers.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so uh what are we talking about?
• 48:11
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, so um Emerald bringing it back to you.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_02: Ghostface killer, not killer, ghost face.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_02: Ghostface gets to bring a friend.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_02: Tom Hanks gets to bring a friend.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_02: What happens?
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_02: Who do they bring?
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_02: What goes down?
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_02: Bring us there.
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so in the past, Ghostface, when he works with other people, it's like people who've been wronged by the main character.
• 48:40
  SPEAKER_04: He does have enemies.
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I don't know who it would be this time.
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but if it was in the franchise the most powerful person who's a friend of Ghostface, they're all dead.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't know.
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_02: But I mean he can step outside of it.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, because he has access to, of course, the Wu Tang clan.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um and then he also he has access to the other, you know, slashers out there.
• 49:09
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, Ghostface could bring fucking Jason into this.
• 49:13
  SPEAKER_04: Um I don't know.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_04: I think that Ghostface, so Ghostface is usually a person, right?
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_04: It's a person from the story.
• 49:21
  SPEAKER_04: They you they always get outed.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_04: Um but was Val Kilmer.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_04: Wasn't it in the first one it was two people?
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh yeah.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_00: So it's always been so in the first one it was her like Sydney's boyfriend and the other friend, Matthew Lillard and Alrich.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and I'm I'm like a pretty yeah, I'm I love the screen movie.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_04: Um do you yeah, do you think it's feasible that a couple of Robert Langdon's enemies or like maybe an enemy friend combo would would would be Ghostface?
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_00: I like where you're going with this.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_02: I just had an idea.
• 50:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_02: So I forgot that Matthew Lillard was a part of it.
• 50:04
  unknown: Scooby D.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_03: No, he's Shaggy! Yeah, Ghostface is bringing Shaggy.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_00: I like James' idea better.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_04: Shaggy can be one of the people under the hood, but that's it.
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_04: Shaggy tags in every once in a while.
• 50:20
  SPEAKER_04: He's the third one.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_04: Now, meme culture tells us that Shaggy is a deity.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_04: No, no, you're not doing this again.
• 50:26
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not letting you.
• 50:27
  SPEAKER_04: Alright.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_04: Um, so it could be I say a frenemy pair combo.
• 50:37
  SPEAKER_00: I really like that.
• 50:39
  SPEAKER_04: Um, but of course, uh Robert Landon beats them.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_04: Because that's how that's like what he does in his movies.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_04: Because he brought Magneto.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_04: He like he he wins his movie.
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, Magneto's also an enemy.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_04: So like everyone around him is enemies, yeah, but he still wins.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_04: But this one can control metal.
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_00: If I give this up and I don't make this fight, Ghostface still wins because out of three he won two, right?
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 51:04
  SPEAKER_02: He wins it.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_00: I concede.
• 51:06
  SPEAKER_00: I concede.
• 51:07
  SPEAKER_00: Robert Lane needs to have this round.
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_04: I think when things magneto.
• 51:11
  SPEAKER_04: I think when things start to get too complicated, that's when his powers kick in.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_04: Like four, like four characters.
• 51:17
  SPEAKER_04: No, wait, wait.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_04: That's too complicated for uh your average American audience.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_04: Ghost faced killer.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_04: There's a puzzle here.
• 51:26
  SPEAKER_04: Four people.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my god, my head! I need I need someone to explain this on screen for me.
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_02: It was a mystery for the average individual.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 51:39
  SPEAKER_02: That was the plan.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, well, uh yeah, I feel like at this point the third round had it happened, would have become so convoluted that Robert Langdon had no choice but to solve but to win and solve the mystery.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_04: And he's left broken and defeated with the weight of the knowledge he accrued.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_04: No, this is what I think would have happened.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, this is it.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_02: So Robert Langdon would have pulled the mask off of Ghostface, solving it, and underneath the mask is Robert Langdon.
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_02: Classic.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_02: And it's a tie.
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_02: There's my thoughts on it.
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_02: But at the end of the day, it doesn't fucking matter.
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_02: So um, congratulations, Mr.
• 52:27
  SPEAKER_02: Ghostface.
• 52:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 52:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you have won.
• 52:30
  SPEAKER_02: You have defeated Robert Langdon.
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_02: By the end of the show, I finally got his fucking name right.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_04: This was such I I don't know.
• 52:39
  SPEAKER_04: What a cr what an what an insane fight.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_04: So stupid.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_04: So stupid.
• 52:45
  SPEAKER_00: You guys are really brave to do that, you know?
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_00: To just like what an unlikely pairing.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, thank you.
• 52:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I say if we've ever been anything, it's been brave.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_04: Like in our in our early episodes, we like tried to do like quote unquote like real fights where where people like were evenly matched, and like we ended up having we ended up having like dumb long nerd discussions, and we found that uh it was a lot more fun if we just did stupid shit.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_03: What if Black Widow fought a cheap actually?
• 53:19
  SPEAKER_03: That one was just so fucking funny.
• 53:23
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I preferred, for sure.
• 53:25
  SPEAKER_02: All right.

  SPEAKER_04: What's your favorite scary movie?

• 54:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes, yes.
• 54:18
  SPEAKER_02: Thoughts.
• 54:19
  SPEAKER_00: It really brings it back to like the fourth and fifth kind of feel of just like comical unfortunateness.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm just with the caliber of actors that they have in it, I was like, oh, we can't get them better.
• 54:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like the script.
• 54:33
  SPEAKER_00: It was the script for me that really woo what happened there.
• 54:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I you know, you're rooting for Michael in that for sure.
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and when you just kill them already.
• 54:44
  SPEAKER_00: When when uh is it Karen, Lori's daughter, Karen?
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um she becomes the one that you're like, oh, okay, everything rests on you.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you're in you're in a bit of trouble.
• 54:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it was still like it was entertaining enough, but um no, definitely not my favorite.
• 55:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, I agree with you there for sure.
• 55:03
  SPEAKER_04: Um, what's your favorite scary movie?
• 55:05
  SPEAKER_02: My favorite scary movie?
• 55:07
  SPEAKER_02: Um I would have to say, man, that's tough.
• 55:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um, because I am hyper critical of scary movies.
• 55:16
  SPEAKER_02: I I watch them to go to bed.
• 55:18
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 55:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but then um I'm always looking for the one that's finally gonna scare me again.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, I have the last one that really scared you.
• 55:29
  SPEAKER_02: The last one that scared me.
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_02: I I was I was a child.
• 55:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um and the last one that that scared me was either Alien, the original alien, um, because I was terrified that something was gonna lay an egg inside my chest.
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_02: Or, and this is embarrassing, and this shows you the last time I was scared how old I was was fucking critters.
• 55:53
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, there's those little roly furry guys, and they were gonna eat me.
• 56:01
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, okay.
• 56:02
  SPEAKER_00: So nothing scares you now.
• 56:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
• 56:04
  SPEAKER_02: I've lost the the ability.
• 56:07
  SPEAKER_02: So I will say this, however, the the last bastion for me of being scared is actually in video games.
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_04: Really?
• 56:15
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, because you have some level of control and therefore there's uh so now I'm expecting me now, and you just like especially when you if you put on like the VR and you play like Resident Evil, or if you're playing the um that's that Silent Hill predecessor.
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_04: Resident Evil had me fucked up.
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_04: Uh uh I don't know, but the one that scared me the most most recently was Hereditary.
• 56:41
  SPEAKER_04: I had nightmares of where she near the end of Hereditary.
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_04: Well, it's the movie's years old.
• 56:47
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, so at the end of the movie, she she's she floats up into the air and then she bangs her head and then cuts her own head off with that wire.
• 56:56
  SPEAKER_04: While she like the the look she's giving her kid of like terror in her eyes while she's sawing her own head off.
• 57:03
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that fucked me up.
• 57:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Tony Collins' performance in that was nothing short of amazing.
• 57:09
  SPEAKER_02: She was amazing at that point.
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_02: Why has no one called her the Queen of Horror yet?
• 57:13
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_02: Everything she does is like some good.
• 57:19
  SPEAKER_02: She she is fantastic.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_02: And even like the the the Christmas movie she did involved the Krampus fucking breaking in and killing them all.
• 57:27
  SPEAKER_02: Wow, yeah.
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, she is great.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_02: She is great.
