SPEAKER_00: Yep, so here we are.
3:05
SPEAKER_00: So for those of you just joining us, and for you know, Nate's been a while, this is how high and dry works.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: We start every episode with a moral debate conundrum question, quandary, and then it devolves into a fist fight, as those things often do.
3:19
SPEAKER_00: But before we do that, what sets us apart, what makes us special, um, and what makes this sermon the best is that we get a little drunk and we get a little high.
3:27
SPEAKER_00: So uh James, uh you got the high philosopher, we smoking today.
3:31
SPEAKER_03: Uh today I'm smoking a great strain called peach rings.
3:37
SPEAKER_03: Uh peach rings, it's got karyophylline and linalule and limanine, so it should taste like peppery and with a little bit of lavender and some citrusy taste.
3:51
SPEAKER_03: So it should be pretty nice.
3:53
SPEAKER_03: Cool.
3:53
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
3:54
SPEAKER_03: Sounds like uh like a hippie girl.
3:57
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's like a patchouli.
3:59
SPEAKER_03: Uh like put it in my face, let's go.
4:02
SPEAKER_03: Tastes like hippie.
4:03
SPEAKER_00: Alright, go off, go on the taste of hippie.
4:05
SPEAKER_00: Alright, and uh Nathan, what do you uh what do you bring to the table?
4:09
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, so I am not drinking today as I don't have any drink, but um I didn't want to let you guys down, and I do have uh cannabis cookies.
4:21
SPEAKER_06: Woo! Damn! I have I have no idea, like I'm not a weed guy.
4:26
SPEAKER_06: I've never I've had like one puff of weed in my life.
4:29
SPEAKER_06: I've never tried a cookie, so I I don't know if they're gonna do nothing or they're gonna fuck me right up.
4:34
SPEAKER_03: I don't know what you should have taken them about a half hour ago.
4:38
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
4:39
SPEAKER_06: There's no um there's no like recommended dosage, so I don't know if I should have like a cookie per shot or should I make it last?
4:45
SPEAKER_06: But fuck it, we're gonna have a cookie shot and then we'll see what happens.
4:48
SPEAKER_03: So let's so so I'll ask you real quick, I'll help you with the dosage.

10:09
SPEAKER_02: Oh fuck!
10:10
unknown: Nate's.

10:19
SPEAKER_00: Works for me.
10:20
SPEAKER_00: Alright.
10:21
SPEAKER_03: Um, you're gonna you're gonna have like an existential crisis, dude.
10:27
SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be great.
10:27
SPEAKER_03: Let's get going.
10:28
SPEAKER_03: Let's do this.
10:28
SPEAKER_03: Alright.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: I almost feel like we should flip-flop the fight in the question.
10:33
SPEAKER_00: Well, so as I said.
10:36
SPEAKER_00: If you want to, we totally can.
10:37
SPEAKER_00: This could be a high and dry first if you want.
10:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
10:40
SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
10:40
SPEAKER_00: You want should we flip-flop the flip?
10:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I said it right.
10:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
10:43
SPEAKER_00: Flip-flop the fight with the question.
10:48
SPEAKER_03: We think the question's gonna be way more interesting while you're blasted on edibles.
10:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
10:52
SPEAKER_00: Alright, cool.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so, and now that this makes sense too, because you know, alcohol time hit the bloodstream and everything like that.
10:58
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna give it a shot.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so how we do our fights.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: Um, it is a three-round method guaranteed to get you your results.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna determine which of your favorite nerd shit's gonna kill the rest of your favorite nerd shit.
11:11
SPEAKER_00: This week we have Harley Quinn of Suicide Squad versus Sterling Archer of Archer, the FX series.
11:21
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be a three-round situation.
11:23
SPEAKER_00: Round one, these two characters just enter into a Gen X Fight Club bar that's legally distinct from the same bar of Fight Club, and they just punch each other to death.
11:33
SPEAKER_00: Um round two, we zoom out into a city view where these characters have received a manila envelope underneath their apartment doors, and they have 24 hours to do whatever it takes to kill the other one.
11:43
SPEAKER_00: And then finally, round three is the same thing as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: So moving into round one, um, a timeless sandworm has just dropped off Cher and Carl Urban.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Meanwhile, the high-end dry philosophers are being seated at the box, and we're looking down as these two characters are getting ready to just beat the fuck out of each other.
12:02
SPEAKER_00: Guests first, mate, what do you think's gonna happen?
12:05
SPEAKER_00: Harley Quinn versus Sterling Hurtsham.
12:07
SPEAKER_00: No weapons, no shirts, no shoes, no belts, nothing.
12:10
SPEAKER_06: Given that they're both unarmed, I would say that uh Archer is kind of the most trained, he's the most adaptable in combat.
12:21
SPEAKER_06: Um Harley Quinn's not got her giant hammer or her grenades or any other tools, which kind of makes her, you know, she's not strong.
12:31
SPEAKER_06: You know, she's not superhero strong, she's not overly strong for a normal character.
12:37
SPEAKER_06: Um so he's reliant on a gadget, and I think Archer would clear up.
12:43
SPEAKER_06: Okay.
12:43
SPEAKER_06: Alright.
12:44
SPEAKER_03: Well, uh James, what are your thoughts on the matter?
12:47
SPEAKER_03: I think those are good thoughts.
12:48
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I mean, the the first thing you have to look at is Archer is like a physically larger human being.
12:54
SPEAKER_03: Um so he's more he's whenever someone is physically physically larger, they have an advantage in a hand-to-hand fight.
13:02
SPEAKER_03: Unless you're like some kind of crazy trained martial artist.
13:05
SPEAKER_03: But the thing about Harley Quinn is that she is very acrobatic.
13:09
SPEAKER_03: Um, she is very athletic in the new spoilers, for the new The Suicide Squad movie, um, Harley Quinn is being tortured and she's being she's enduring like heavy physical punishment, and she tricks her assailants into thinking that she's weak when she's just been practicing like a socio she like when they're not paying attention, her eyes open with like a sociopathic fucking uh uh she has her eyes on a goal and it's to fucking murder these people.
13:42
SPEAKER_03: And all of it was a joke, you know, being in pain and stuff.
13:46
SPEAKER_03: And she like she she lifts herself up on a hook that she's strapped to and strangles the dude to death with her legs.
13:53
SPEAKER_03: Um she's she's she's very physically capable.
13:57
SPEAKER_03: Um uh she's very acrob she has an acrobatic fighting style, which is like having a very um a very flailing like fighting style, like something that moves around real quick, is the human hand-to-hand way to beat someone who has a physical advantage on you.
14:14
SPEAKER_03: Um like that's that's why acrobatic martial arts exist.
14:18
SPEAKER_03: Uh, is because little people needed a way to fight back against fucking giants.
14:22
SPEAKER_03: Um and I would say that Archer, we've seen Archer get the shit kicked out of him in physical situations.
14:31
SPEAKER_03: Um he's better with a gun.
14:33
SPEAKER_03: And against Barry.
14:35
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, against Barry.
14:37
SPEAKER_03: But honestly, I think Barry could take Harley too.
14:39
SPEAKER_03: I think Barry could take Harley too, yeah.
14:42
SPEAKER_03: But he's I think that uh yeah, I think that Archer's just better with like guns and being a spy and shit, and and Harley Quinn physically attacks most of her people.
14:58
SPEAKER_03: She doesn't use guns and shit.
14:59
SPEAKER_03: She is a much more physical fighter the vast majority of the time.
15:04
SPEAKER_00: Well, for me, uh it's been so you have like the comic books of Harley Quinn, and she's always it they never explain really, you know, what happened to Harley, in the movies at least, that makes her so you know visually combative, except the fact that they needed to be for the movie.
15:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
15:23
SPEAKER_00: Um, but she like in the comics, she was never really much that way.
15:27
SPEAKER_00: And when she did get her own comic book, um like during the whole New 52 era and everything, that's continued on because of Margot Robbie, basically, um she just comedically beats you to death with a hammer, you know, and it as long as they could Looney Tunes it, um she manages to pull through.
15:45
SPEAKER_00: Um and I don't know why that's scary though.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
15:49
SPEAKER_00: Um but however that never her abilities, like they never extend beyond you know, being able to take on Batman.
15:58
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
15:59
SPEAKER_00: You know, as soon as Batman drops down, her Looney Tune thing is over, uh, and Batman reclaims the theme.
16:06
SPEAKER_00: And so would maybe just because they're too broken people, they'd call it a draw and start a very damaging relationship.
16:17
SPEAKER_03: I think that I think that they would fuck, but another spoiler for Suicide Squad is that she murders the the bro the fucked up person who's who fucks her.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: Well, we got some good points on the table.
16:29
SPEAKER_00: Bringing it back.
16:30
SPEAKER_00: Nathan, final thoughts, and what's your vote?
16:33
SPEAKER_06: Okay, I I've changed my mind.
16:36
SPEAKER_06: Uh and I'm gonna put Harley Quinn for this one because um Archer, although he could easily defeat her, he's gonna be too busy show boating, and he's gonna like kind of knock her down, and he's gonna be like, Lana, did you see that?
16:52
SPEAKER_06: Did you see that?
16:54
SPEAKER_06: During that time, he's gonna hit her, uh, she's gonna hit him, and you know, she's she's like the comeback queen, so I think that she will have the edge because Archer will be too busy show boating.
17:06
SPEAKER_03: Wow, what a great point.
17:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, James, final thoughts on the vote.
17:09
SPEAKER_03: I think also, I I didn't mention this before, I got lost.
17:13
SPEAKER_03: But uh he also has an extreme problem fighting beautiful women.
17:20
SPEAKER_03: He only goes so far and then they beat him.
17:24
SPEAKER_03: That's true.
17:25
SPEAKER_03: He'll only take it so far when he's fighting the beautiful woman.
17:28
SPEAKER_03: I think Kasha specifically is who I think of.
17:32
SPEAKER_00: Well, even when he was doing the uh the mission uh with the coyote, um, the woman who's moving you know little uh immigrants across the border.
17:41
SPEAKER_00: Um I don't know that one.
17:42
SPEAKER_00: Well, she was she herself said that I'm here because you know, a large-breasted woman who's capable is your weakness.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: And yeah, he yeah, he was played totally.
17:55
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
17:56
SPEAKER_00: He gets played every time.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
17:58
unknown: Yeah.
17:58
SPEAKER_00: As soon as you have a large-breasted woman with uh capabilities, he's done.
18:04
SPEAKER_00: You know, that's a wrap.
18:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and you have some.
18:07
SPEAKER_00: Yes, now you got Margot Robbie.
18:09
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, he's done.
18:10
SPEAKER_00: This is his weakness in every scenario, though.
18:15
SPEAKER_03: Archer's gonna have an issue.
18:18
SPEAKER_03: So this is looking tough for Archer.
18:20
SPEAKER_03: Let's see what happens in round two.
18:22
SPEAKER_00: Oh boy.
18:23
SPEAKER_03: So, oh shit, I forgot.
18:25
SPEAKER_03: She's like, it's like putting Superman up against Kryptonite for our fight.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: Um, but Superman would win that.
18:32
SPEAKER_03: Superman would win the fight against Kryptonite.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: That's true.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: He does every time.
18:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
18:35
SPEAKER_00: So let's see what happens.
18:37
SPEAKER_00: So moving into round two, with uh Margot Robbie taking round one, um, these characters are now in the city view.
18:44
SPEAKER_00: They've received a manila envelope underneath their apartment doors, and they got 24 hours to kill the other one.
18:51
SPEAKER_00: Things have changed a little bit.
18:53
SPEAKER_00: Let's see what happens.
18:54
SPEAKER_00: Nate, coming to you, guests first.
18:56
SPEAKER_00: What goes down?
18:57
SPEAKER_00: What do you think happens?
18:58
SPEAKER_06: Well, I would say that Archer would not be able to cope with the kind of randomness and the kind of ridiculous of uh her clans and stuff, in that he's just gonna get blown left, right, and center from bombs and guns and even like his own stuff.
19:18
SPEAKER_06: Um because she's kind of chaotic and she she's the true definition of like chaotic evil, just like Joker.
19:24
SPEAKER_06: And I I think she'll have the other hand because there'll be no way to kind of predict what she's gonna do.
19:30
SPEAKER_06: Um and it would be one of those cartoon things where he's gonna like open the door to surprise her and then like a foxing glove on a spring is gonna come and hit him, and you know, it's gonna be that sort of ridiculousness.
19:41
SPEAKER_06: And I think that, yeah, she'll even though he's got his kind of spy abilities and he, you know, he'll spend hours climbing up the windows with his suction cut and trying to break in, but she'll have already.
19:54
SPEAKER_03: He's gonna spend half the fight arguing with the quartermaster to get fucking night vision goggles out of the out of the to check him out of the agency for this fight.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: Well, you're talking about uh well, he went off the the guy the uh the gun librarian.
20:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
20:12
SPEAKER_00: Uh he went off to be a a a gun dealer, so it's no longer an issue.
20:18
SPEAKER_03: His his thing is gonna be about he is about his mom won't give him the fucking equipment, and then he's gotta pull a heist on his own people, and then Harley's gonna kill him.
20:29
SPEAKER_00: Well, I well well then Thoughts then.
20:33
SPEAKER_00: James, I because I I have some thoughts in Archer's table here.
20:35
SPEAKER_03: I do.
20:37
SPEAKER_03: So so here are my thoughts.
20:39
SPEAKER_03: So I have to it's funny that Nate took it comic book-wise, because in comic in the comic book, she is more of a chaotic evil, I would say.
20:47
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
20:47
SPEAKER_03: But in in The Suicide Squad and Harley's movie, she's more of a chaotic neutral.
20:54
SPEAKER_03: Uh she does do bad shit a lot of the time, but she's also instrumental in a lot of good shit, and she does have good qualities like sticking up for the disenfranchised and stuff.
21:05
SPEAKER_03: Like that's her deal.
21:06
SPEAKER_03: It very much depends on what you grab her out of.
21:09
SPEAKER_03: Exactly, exactly.
21:10
SPEAKER_03: And we're promoting this as Suicides, the Suicide Squad Harley Quinn, because that's who we want to use for our fucking promo.
21:16
SPEAKER_03: So, and she's the most recent iteration.
21:19
SPEAKER_03: And so when you grab her out of that, um, she's the kind of person who's lot who will the first thing she'll do is ask a question like, why do they why do they want me to kill him?
21:30
SPEAKER_02: Like, who's asking me to kill this guy?
21:33
SPEAKER_03: You know, or however she talks like.
21:34
SPEAKER_03: Some of us are irritated.
21:37
SPEAKER_03: Some of us are turned on.
21:38
SPEAKER_03: And some of us are turned on, but it's just elbows there.
21:41
SPEAKER_03: So she she would ask that question, and the audience would ask that question because I think her theme is pretty strong with this one.
21:53
SPEAKER_03: Um and she'd go find Archer, and Archer would go to kill her, but then he hits his weakness.
22:01
SPEAKER_03: You know, he would go to kill her, see her.
22:03
SPEAKER_03: She's like not immediately aggressive because she's just like, I don't know what the fuck's going on.
22:07
SPEAKER_03: Let's figure it out.
22:08
SPEAKER_03: And then they'll get it, he'll she'll eventually kill him the same way because he's toxic.
22:12
SPEAKER_03: She'll figure out that he's toxic.
22:15
SPEAKER_00: So, my my response to that is that we get their characters that they're strongest for the situation.
22:21
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
22:21
SPEAKER_00: Which includes, in this case, where we're taking Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, who, you know, in the beginning of a lot of situations, uh especially in Birds of Prey, she spent 95% of that movie as the victim.
22:35
SPEAKER_00: That's true.
22:35
SPEAKER_00: Um, but so on Archer's side of it, however, um, I think that we're going to get um an evolving archer, um, like we saw at the end, where he had woken up from his coma and he explains to the rest of the team that hey, you're not mad at me.
22:55
SPEAKER_00: You know, it's not my fault.
22:57
SPEAKER_00: You use me as an excuse to be your worst.
23:01
SPEAKER_00: Um, but then I would also bring it back to the moment where um he is trying to protect his son, Baylana.
23:10
SPEAKER_05: Uh-huh.
23:11
SPEAKER_00: And uh he explains that my whole life I've been going half-assed.
23:17
SPEAKER_00: And uh, but now that my kid's involved, you're about to see me at full ass.
23:22
SPEAKER_00: He doesn't have his kid.
23:23
SPEAKER_03: That's the problem.
23:24
SPEAKER_03: In round two, he doesn't have the love of his kid.
23:27
SPEAKER_03: He doesn't have his kid for inspiration.
23:29
SPEAKER_00: But it's impossible to kill Archer.
23:32
SPEAKER_00: Even when you shoot him to death and drop him in a pool, he'll be in a coma for a couple years and then come back.
23:38
SPEAKER_00: Um possible to kill Harley Quinn in these movies.
23:41
SPEAKER_06: She gets fucking stabbed, she gets up plot armor.
23:44
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, they both have plot armor.
23:46
SPEAKER_00: They both have it, so that's not uh an advantage.
23:50
SPEAKER_00: So they they both have that same plot armor.
23:52
SPEAKER_00: So the reason I bring that up is that we have to stop using it strictly for Harley Quinn.
23:57
SPEAKER_00: They both have it, and it both cancels it out.
24:00
SPEAKER_03: Um But it once they're incapacitated, right?
24:03
SPEAKER_03: Once they're incapacitated, that's the end of the fight.
24:06
SPEAKER_03: That's we've decided for people who are immortal.
24:08
SPEAKER_00: Well, and the reason why I say that though is Harley Quinn spends her 95% of her character in prison after having been incapacitated.
24:17
SPEAKER_00: The beginning of, you know, any even the beginning of her origin.
24:21
SPEAKER_00: She is immediately arrested by Batman.
24:23
SPEAKER_00: Um she's in Suicide Squad because of how easy it is to incapacitate her.
24:30
SPEAKER_03: I don't know if that's true.
24:32
SPEAKER_03: Um she gets out of it in the second one with What's his face as hell?
24:37
SPEAKER_03: Like she's not that's at her strongest.
24:39
SPEAKER_00: That took two movies.
24:40
SPEAKER_00: Archer, it takes 22 minutes.
24:41
SPEAKER_03: Archer, it takes he didn't overcome a woman for eight seasons.
24:45
SPEAKER_03: But we're getting them at their strongest.
24:48
SPEAKER_03: And you have to apply that to Harley Quinn as well.
24:50
SPEAKER_03: No, no, no, stop just applying it to Archer, because that's what you were just trying to do.
24:54
SPEAKER_03: Harley Quinn gets in the end of the year.
24:56
SPEAKER_00: Because you guys are only doing it to Harley.
24:58
SPEAKER_03: No, we're we're considering it for both per both people.
25:01
SPEAKER_03: I disagree.
25:01
SPEAKER_03: But you, so here's we were talking to you, who will side with Archer because you love Archer.
25:07
SPEAKER_03: Well, so we were talking about the thing.
25:09
SPEAKER_03: I'm already here than the ghost side.
25:10
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we were, but we have to apply it to Harley Quinn as well.
25:13
SPEAKER_03: They're both at their strongness.
25:15
SPEAKER_03: If you take Archer at season eight, then Harley gets end of movie six, you know?
25:20
SPEAKER_03: Um, she doesn't have that movie either.
25:22
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, she has movie three.
25:24
SPEAKER_03: She has three movies in this universe.
25:26
SPEAKER_03: She gets the end of them.
25:27
SPEAKER_03: She's strong, she's fucking strong in that one.
25:30
SPEAKER_03: Well, so well, Nathan, what do you think?
25:32
SPEAKER_03: Thoughts and a vote.
25:34
SPEAKER_06: Alright, so I I I'll be honest with you, and you'll probably never invite me back.
25:38
SPEAKER_06: I've not seen the the Suicide Squad or Birds.
25:45
SPEAKER_06: Well, I don't know.
25:46
SPEAKER_06: So the only thing I can go off is like kind of comic book Harley Quinn or the the older Harley Quinn uh iterations.
25:52
SPEAKER_06: And the only thing I could see is kind of Harley Quinn dressed up as like Archer's mother.
25:57
SPEAKER_06: And that's how she'd defeat him.
26:00
SPEAKER_06: Um yeah, I'm gonna go.
26:08
SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna go Harley.
26:11
SPEAKER_06: Even though I probably fought for Archer, I completely forgot what I said at the beginning.
26:15
SPEAKER_06: But yeah, Harley.
26:16
SPEAKER_06: Harley is who I would choose.
26:19
SPEAKER_03: Archer's a formidable opponent.
26:21
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this is a really tight match because Archer is a formidable opponent.
26:26
SPEAKER_03: He's an efficient spy.
26:28
SPEAKER_03: Um, he's very good at killing people.
26:30
SPEAKER_03: He kills a lot of people at a distance.
26:33
SPEAKER_03: You know who he doesn't kill?
26:35
SPEAKER_03: Women who are central to his plot.
26:37
SPEAKER_03: He doesn't fucking kill them.
26:40
SPEAKER_03: And that's problematic.
26:43
SPEAKER_03: Even if this is a an archer episode, she's the victim for 95%, and then the end of the archer episode, she turns on him.
26:50
SPEAKER_03: Uh, like all archer women do.
26:53
SPEAKER_03: They he he gets invested, but because he's such a dick, no nobody wants to be with him.
27:00
SPEAKER_03: And uh and I think that's gonna happen again.
27:03
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know where Holly's gonna end up, don't you?
27:07
SPEAKER_06: In the danger zone.
27:11
SPEAKER_03: No, it was just a phosphor effect.
27:14
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, solid pull.
27:16
SPEAKER_00: Solid pull.
27:17
SPEAKER_03: Danger zone.
27:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, and then um yeah, so he you know has a lot of options there.
27:24
SPEAKER_00: Um if he would get over himself, it would be no contest.
27:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
27:29
SPEAKER_00: Um, if he could finally get over himself, no contest at all.
27:32
SPEAKER_00: Um, but the whole show requires that he not get over himself.
27:36
SPEAKER_03: Um and so for that, Harley.
27:38
SPEAKER_03: Um Harley gets a dramatic redemptive arc where she overcomes herself to do for others at the end of this movie, and leaps with a javelin into the eye of a giant starfish.
27:51
SPEAKER_03: Of course.
27:52
SPEAKER_03: Um, and I think that kind of energy is pretty powerful.
27:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
27:58
SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, we'll uh so both, so we just had the new suicide squad, and they're going to do that until Marvel Robbie drops dead.
28:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so we're gonna have an 80-year-old Harley Quinn.
28:10
SPEAKER_00: Um and Archer just got renewed for a new season um after everything.
28:14
SPEAKER_00: So when they were expecting it to call it a day, which I'm happy for, I am.
28:19
SPEAKER_00: Uh that's that's gonna be cool.
28:21
SPEAKER_00: So, well, there you have it, folks.
28:22
SPEAKER_00: Harley Quinn took it straight to in the beginning, knocks it out, and that's the end of that.
28:28
SPEAKER_00: Harley Quinn has defeated Sterling and Archer, which brings us now into the question.
28:33
SPEAKER_03: What would have happened on round three?
28:37
SPEAKER_03: We we should still do a round three.
28:38
SPEAKER_03: Like what do we think would happen?
28:40
SPEAKER_03: Because I think this is where Archer gets his redemption.
28:43
SPEAKER_03: What do you think, Mate?
28:46
SPEAKER_06: No, I do not.
28:50
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think um uh not Archer, uh Harley Quinn.
28:53
SPEAKER_06: Again, I'm not a Suicide Squad savvy, but in my head, Harley Quinn would bring uh Poison Ivy, and the fact that they were two lesbian, big-breasted women would just kill Archer without them even having to do anything here.
29:07
SPEAKER_06: Bisexual.
29:08
SPEAKER_03: But roommates in the uh have you seen the Harley Quinn on HBO, the adult animated show?
29:16
SPEAKER_03: Because she moves in with Poison Ivy.
29:19
SPEAKER_00: They did actually come from the comic books.
29:21
SPEAKER_00: That was uh the thing they did where they were trying to make um Harley Quinn less of a joker item.
29:26
SPEAKER_00: Gotcha.
29:27
SPEAKER_00: Um and she, you know, she did.
29:28
SPEAKER_00: She uh, you know, that's where her and Poison Ivy had a thing.
29:32
SPEAKER_00: Poison Ivy was kind of always kind of less into it, and that was kind of weird.
29:36
SPEAKER_03: She in the show, in the cartoon, she's totally less into it.
29:39
SPEAKER_03: She does not seem enthused, she's just kind of like, I'm mostly an alone person, but you you're really weird.
29:45
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I kind of want you around, but I'm still an introvert.
29:47
SPEAKER_03: Leave me alone, is like is what she's like.
29:50
SPEAKER_03: But also, but also I'm gonna do whatever it takes to save you because I don't know.
29:53
SPEAKER_03: I yeah, I I need a person.
29:56
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think I think just the two of them would just wipe out Archer due to his like misogyny and his views and stuff, you know.
30:03
SPEAKER_06: It would uh I and I don't even know who Archer would bring.
30:07
SPEAKER_06: I guess he'd bring Lana.
30:09
SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
30:10
SPEAKER_00: I I think Archer's bringing Pam.
30:13
SPEAKER_00: Oh Pam is Pam is the fucking Hulk of Archer.
30:18
SPEAKER_00: That's true.
30:18
SPEAKER_00: She is a Hulk.
30:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and uh um I think and even when Pam is feeling Pam is undefeatable.
30:27
SPEAKER_00: Um even when she's getting her ass kicked, she eventually frees herself and uses fucking explosive rounds from a shotgun.
30:34
SPEAKER_00: She's the one who defeats Barry.
30:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
30:39
SPEAKER_00: And Poison Ivy spheromes only work on men.
30:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
30:42
SPEAKER_00: Um, so what I think you have here for as far as Pam's theme goes, because in the beginning she was friendly and chubby, and that made her undesirable.
30:52
SPEAKER_00: And then the writers were like, what if it made her super powered?
30:56
SPEAKER_00: You know, all of a sudden she takes off her shirt, her back is tatted up, she's a street fighter, you know, she's deep inside the yakuza, um, and they just springboarded her the other way and made her unstoppable.
31:10
SPEAKER_00: Um, and I think that Pam involved is gonna just juggernaut through it.
31:15
SPEAKER_00: And then, but then Archer also has feelings for Pam that he doesn't know how to handle, which will also make Archer go full ass.
31:25
SPEAKER_00: Thoughts?
31:31
SPEAKER_03: I like this.
31:32
SPEAKER_03: I like that Pam Pam has actually distracted Archer from other women.
31:36
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right?
31:37
SPEAKER_03: Pam has actually distracted Archer from other women, so she may be able to pull his attention away from these hotties because it's unexpected, right?
31:45
SPEAKER_00: She's the healthy side of him.
31:46
SPEAKER_00: Even when he came back and he was being kind of weird, she's like, dude, we missed the hell out of you, but we got a new thing going on.
31:51
SPEAKER_00: Just be patient.
31:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
31:53
SPEAKER_00: You know, and she makes him healthy.
31:55
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
31:56
SPEAKER_00: Or yeah.
31:57
SPEAKER_03: I'd say either Pam or Cheryl.
31:59
SPEAKER_03: Cheryl's a fucking maniac.
32:00
SPEAKER_03: Just push Cheryl.
32:01
SPEAKER_03: She's way more intense now than Harley is for sure.
32:04
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she's like Harley, but but crazier.
32:07
SPEAKER_03: Um and uh I you if you throw Cheryl at him, I bet it's a fucking that'd be a fucking nightmare for them.
32:13
SPEAKER_00: Well, well, Nate, what do you what are your thoughts?
32:17
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I I I'm surprised because I before I started talking and you know, think the head of the fight, I thought I was gonna choose Archer to win.
32:26
SPEAKER_06: Um but yeah, I've I've chose and I'm gonna choose Harley for the third round as well.
32:30
SPEAKER_06: I think Harley's gonna have a queen uh a clean sweep on this one.
32:35
SPEAKER_03: Okay, all right.
32:35
SPEAKER_03: Well, James, final thought.
32:37
SPEAKER_03: I think I think that this episode is a supporting role episode.
32:43
SPEAKER_03: The problem with Archer is that he's very effective.
32:46
SPEAKER_03: He's he's he's a super effective killer against men.
32:51
SPEAKER_03: It's just it's it's men.
32:53
SPEAKER_03: They do it like on purpose.
32:55
SPEAKER_03: They do it on purpose in the shows that he's a super effective killer against men.
32:59
SPEAKER_03: Um but he's also always like up his own ass, and that's why he fails, and a lot of that is around women.
33:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and um in this one, I think he gets captured in the first fucking five minutes, and it's a supporting character episode, and the supporting character gets him out of it.
33:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:17
SPEAKER_03: Uh whatever supporting character that is.
33:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:20
SPEAKER_00: Well, I I definitely think that'll be Pam.
33:22
SPEAKER_00: Um I mean, my my thoughts on it.
33:24
SPEAKER_00: Any supporting characters well I think that Pam, so you you so what they're trying to do with Harley Quinn is make her like a champion of women while simultaneously making her objectify.
33:38
SPEAKER_00: Pam, no.
33:40
SPEAKER_00: Um Pam is strong because Pam is Pam.
33:43
SPEAKER_00: Um she is plus sized, but she's comfortable in her body.
33:49
SPEAKER_00: Um, she can throw down with the best of them.
33:52
SPEAKER_00: You know, she takes out all the other ISIS agents just to pass her test, and up until that point, she had only been um their uh HR person.
34:04
SPEAKER_00: Um and and I think that Pam accomplishes way more efficiently um what they were trying to do with um Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn easily.
34:16
SPEAKER_00: Um very easily.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: Um that's my thoughts on it.
34:20
SPEAKER_00: But uh either way, Harley Quinn is gonna take it, Archer goes down.
34:26
unknown: Yeah.
34:27
SPEAKER_00: Which brings us into the question.
34:29
SPEAKER_03: Wow, big reverse time.
34:30
SPEAKER_03: I am so fucking high right now.
34:32
SPEAKER_03: How are you feeling?
34:33
SPEAKER_03: How are you feeling, dude?
34:34
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm pretty easy.
34:38
SPEAKER_03: It takes it takes 45 minutes to an hour to kick in.
34:40
SPEAKER_03: More if you've eaten recently.
34:42
SPEAKER_03: Did you eat recently before you came on?
34:45
SPEAKER_06: No.
34:46
SPEAKER_03: Oh, good.
34:47
SPEAKER_00: So it should be kicking in pretty soon here.
34:49
SPEAKER_00: This should be fun.
34:50
SPEAKER_00: Anytime now.
34:51
SPEAKER_00: Um, well, so it's time to jump into our question.
34:55
SPEAKER_00: Um, and so the question I have for you guys is gonna be a fun one, but before we do that, just like we would if we were about to get into a fight, we gotta get a little more drunk and we gotta get a little more hot.
35:05

SPEAKER_00: Um, so this one goes out again to Nate.

SPEAKER_00: There will be a part two, maybe.
37:57

38:00
SPEAKER_00: So, Nathan, you're up first.
38:03
SPEAKER_00: You've just been offered this deal.
38:05
SPEAKER_00: Now what do you do?
38:07
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I I'd I it's kind of hard because is it is it literally just one person?
38:13
SPEAKER_05: Just one, yeah.
38:15
SPEAKER_06: Because there's only one or there's two people that I it would be for me, and that is because two kids, it'd be one of the kids.
38:23
SPEAKER_06: So I couldn't press it because I couldn't give one of the kids.
38:27
SPEAKER_06: Um Father, which one was your favorite?
38:31
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we're gonna make you Sophie's choices.
38:34
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I'd I pick my favorite child, and um but uh yeah, it's like yeah, you you your brother's got everything he ever wanted, but you get time with me, yay! Let's go.
38:50
SPEAKER_03: You're already getting what you want.
38:52
SPEAKER_03: Time with your father.
38:53
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
38:54
SPEAKER_06: You can't put a price on that, can you?
38:58
SPEAKER_06: Which you have to remind each other every day at breakfast.
39:02
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
39:04
SPEAKER_06: As we cry in our Cheerios.
39:07
SPEAKER_06: Um, I I I wouldn't take it because I wouldn't I would take it if I could do it twice.
39:14
SPEAKER_06: I would let it if I could do it for each child, I would take it, but I wouldn't take it.
39:20
SPEAKER_06: Um because there's no way I'd be able to choose who to get it to or who to do it for.
39:26
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
39:26
SPEAKER_03: Give it to the most generous child who'll share it with the other child.
39:30
SPEAKER_03: Which which one's most generous?
39:32
SPEAKER_06: So, yeah, my boy, because i if I give it to my daughter, she it's mine.
39:36
SPEAKER_06: It's my she's like a dragon, holds all the gold.
39:38
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, there you go.
39:39
SPEAKER_03: Give it to the most generous child.
39:40
SPEAKER_03: They they share the wealth.
39:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
39:43
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
39:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's uh that's an interesting portion of it there if you have a tie.
39:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, wow.
39:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, so what after you made the choice, how would that affect you?
39:55
SPEAKER_00: What would happen?
39:56
SPEAKER_00: I mean, like, how would that, you know, what what was the day look like after you make that huge decision?
40:02
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I'd I'd probably spend the day, I'd probably go into a massive depressive phase because I'm not given, you know, it'd be one of those things that'd kill me, like to try and think what I could have done for them and how I can do it, and blah blah blah, and then it would spiral, I'd drink, I'd eat all my cookies, and I'd probably come on you and talk about it with you guys.
40:24
SPEAKER_06: And then James.
40:27
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, stop eating those cookies, stop eating those cookies, and I'll just be like, I can't.
40:33
SPEAKER_06: No, I yeah.
40:35
SPEAKER_06: It would definitely be a weird one.
40:37
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, for sure.
40:38
SPEAKER_06: Alright.
40:38
SPEAKER_06: Alright, well that's interesting.
40:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, having a tie on that one.
40:41
SPEAKER_03: Well, James, what about you?
40:43
SPEAKER_03: That's interesting.
40:44
SPEAKER_03: So I I don't understand the premise of this question.
40:47
SPEAKER_03: What is uh what do they get again?
40:50
SPEAKER_00: They get um they get to realize their dreams.
40:54
SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, so for example, if your child um just the only thing he wanted in life was to go to bending school, but he only had um, you know, hard drive for memory or a hard drive for bending.
41:09
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
41:10
SPEAKER_03: Gotcha.
41:12
SPEAKER_03: Um so so let's see.
41:15
SPEAKER_03: They get whatever they wanted.
41:17
SPEAKER_03: I don't know, nobody should get everything they want.
41:19
SPEAKER_03: Like, as soon as fuck you.
41:21
SPEAKER_03: As soon as someone gets the things they want, they're like, oh damn, I'm an idiot.
41:26
SPEAKER_03: Why do I want such dumb things?
41:28
SPEAKER_06: Um the thing is as well, with my kids, it's my daughter, she's five, so if I said you can be wherever you want to be, she'd be Supergirl.
41:34
SPEAKER_06: And I'd say to my boy, you know, you can be whatever you want to be.
41:37
SPEAKER_06: I need to want to be a cat.
41:39
SPEAKER_00: So he forgets who his father is so he can pursue his dreams of being a cat.
41:49
SPEAKER_00: Or no, what'll happen is so at the day after you go through eating a hundred cookies and drinking and coming up here talking about it, you flip on the television and he's starring in a Broadway cats.
42:04
SPEAKER_03: He shares his bounty of fish with his sister.
42:10
SPEAKER_00: And he comes home dressed as a cat and who the fuck's this guy?
42:16
SPEAKER_00: The thing is, all cats act like that.
42:17
SPEAKER_06: So you wouldn't really tell the difference if it was your cat or not.
42:22
SPEAKER_06: I just want to look at you like you're crazy.
42:25
SPEAKER_05: That's true.
42:27
SPEAKER_03: Oh man.
42:29
SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
42:30
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't think anything, I don't think any any anybody should get what they want.
42:34
SPEAKER_03: So I'd probably say no.
42:36
SPEAKER_03: If someone, if someone was like, ah, James will get everything he wants.
42:40
SPEAKER_03: Don't please don't.
42:42
SPEAKER_03: Please don't do it to me.
42:43
SPEAKER_03: I don't know what I want.
42:44
SPEAKER_03: You're too much.
42:45
SPEAKER_03: I'll take it.
42:46
SPEAKER_03: You know, I'll take it in your place.
42:48
SPEAKER_03: I'll have it.
42:49
SPEAKER_03: Give it to Nate.
42:50
SPEAKER_03: Give it to Nate, because I would end up making myself miserable with my wants, I'm pretty sure.
42:55
SPEAKER_00: Well then he's gonna come on high and try again, and he's gonna be like, hey Ryan, who's this guy?
43:00
SPEAKER_00: And then James goes, oh yeah.
43:02
SPEAKER_03: Why does he have to forget me?
43:03
SPEAKER_06: I don't want to kiss it's messed up because it's give me everything James ever wanted, and all I've got is this massive bag of weed.
43:14
SPEAKER_03: You've also got a smaller penis, because mine's just so.
43:19
SPEAKER_03: This is one of my dreams.
43:22
SPEAKER_00: Thank God for that, because I mean it's one that could at least be free if it's burning.
43:28
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so alright, so so so Nature would.
43:32
SPEAKER_00: I mean, and you know, the universe will sort of intervene and be like, look, you want to be a cat now, but we're gonna we're gonna help you out.
43:42
SPEAKER_03: No, he's a fucking cat, man.
43:44
SPEAKER_03: See that's the one.
43:44
SPEAKER_00: That's what you want.
43:45
SPEAKER_03: So yeah, that's an interesting part of it, yeah.
43:48
SPEAKER_03: The people in my life don't know what they want.
43:50
SPEAKER_03: They don't know what they want, just as much as I don't fucking know what I want.
43:53
SPEAKER_06: So I don't want to give them everything they want.
43:55
SPEAKER_06: I guess who who is the p like so who is the person that you'd be pressing this or taking this deal for?
44:01
SPEAKER_03: Uh my wife is pro is probably the person I would do it for.
44:04
SPEAKER_03: Either that or my dog.
44:06
SPEAKER_06: And and you're saying no, so you know you're not getting late tonight, your wife's fuming.
44:10
SPEAKER_06: I could have had everything I wanted.
44:14
SPEAKER_03: I think I think she'd say the same.
44:16
SPEAKER_03: I mean, we can ask her in after hours.
44:19
SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
44:19
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I can go ahead.
44:21
SPEAKER_06: She'd say she'd say the same, but she'd be thinking like, what a prick.
44:24
SPEAKER_06: I could have had it all.
44:26
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
44:27
SPEAKER_05: No, no, no.
44:28
SPEAKER_06: No, James.
44:29
SPEAKER_06: You know, I love you and I want to be with you, and I'm glad you chose for me not to fulfill every single dream I've ever had.
44:37
SPEAKER_03: I would be grateful.
44:39
SPEAKER_03: I would be grateful if my wife, if my wife came to me with that same that same thing, I'd be like, fuck yeah, let's do it.
44:45
SPEAKER_03: Like we picked each other.
44:46
SPEAKER_03: Uh, I wouldn't want to forget you to get whatever nebulous wants I have.
44:51
SPEAKER_03: I don't know what the fuck I want.
44:53
SPEAKER_03: Uh fulfilled, you know.
44:55
SPEAKER_00: I'd be grateful.
44:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, so for me, um, I totally do it because all of a sudden, my dog Ragnar would have a brand new bed, fuckloads of cookies that I don't have to pay for anymore.
45:09
SPEAKER_00: He could reach his own ass.
45:11
SPEAKER_00: He could reach his ass, but then he still has nowhere to fucking go.
45:15
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter if he remembers me, he will in a few days.
45:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:18
SPEAKER_00: Um you'd pick Ragnar.
45:21
unknown: Jesus Christ.
45:24
SPEAKER_00: You're still my fucking dog.
45:27
SPEAKER_06: You know me or not, you're staying.
45:30
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
45:30
SPEAKER_03: Where are you gonna go?
45:32
SPEAKER_03: Um, but you know, whatever your dog wants would probably be good things for you, also.
45:37
SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
45:37
SPEAKER_03: He'd get you all the dog food you could eat.
45:40
SPEAKER_03: Uh he would he would make sure you could lick your own ass also because that's what he wants.
45:46
SPEAKER_06: No, I would never have to pay for probably a second version of you that would let him hump his leg.
45:53
SPEAKER_03: Just the first version does it.
45:56
SPEAKER_00: So, like, it's a win-win.
45:57
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't have to pay for um, you know, fucking uh food anymore.
46:02
SPEAKER_00: He's got all of it.
46:04
SPEAKER_00: Fuck.
46:04
SPEAKER_00: Quick pause.
46:05
SPEAKER_00: The battery's about to die on the computer.
46:07
SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, hurry up.
46:11
SPEAKER_06: What'd he do?
46:13
SPEAKER_03: The battery's about to fucking die on our streaming laptop.
46:17
SPEAKER_03: Oh no.
46:23
SPEAKER_00: Too drunk for this?
46:25

46:28
SPEAKER_06: We'll make a deal with you.
46:29
SPEAKER_06: The batteries will be fully charged, but you forget what you're doing.
46:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
46:35
SPEAKER_00: Um but nah, I uh seriously though, Ragnar's aside.
46:47
SPEAKER_00: I don't know, it's a tough call.
46:49
SPEAKER_00: I mean because like if I did give so Ragnar's English.
46:53
SPEAKER_00: So if I did give him everything he'd want, he would just take artifacts from other cultures and hoard them in the fucking garage.
46:58
SPEAKER_03: Are we still talking about Ragnar?
47:00
SPEAKER_03: Like who would you actually use this on?
47:03
SPEAKER_03: Probably your fiance, right?
47:05
SPEAKER_06: So is the dilemma There's someone else who's not getting late tonight either.
47:09
SPEAKER_06: You chose your dog.
47:11
SPEAKER_06: The fucking dog!
47:14
SPEAKER_02: He's happy.

47:26
SPEAKER_03: Look at him, he's the most generous little dude.
47:28
SPEAKER_03: Um we can lick our own asses now.
47:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, right, for real.
47:33
SPEAKER_00: Um so yeah, I mean, we so we have, you know, uh, so now we're capable of unlimited food and auto fallatio.
47:41
SPEAKER_00: So um hooray.
47:44
SPEAKER_00: All right.
47:46
SPEAKER_00: Hey, like my dream come true.
47:48
unknown: Yeah, yeah.
47:49
SPEAKER_00: We're all good.
47:50
SPEAKER_00: Um okay, so if we're talking, all right, so if we're talking something serious, I I would say um Reese.
48:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh, if you if you want to throw Reese into it, oh shit.
48:05
SPEAKER_00: Um that's hard poo.
48:09

48:15
SPEAKER_00: Um Yeah, yeah.
48:19
SPEAKER_00: No, I'd I'd uh I'd give it to him.
48:22
SPEAKER_00: Um just because like I he very much knows what he what he wants.
48:27
SPEAKER_00: He just doesn't he has no idea how to get.
48:30
SPEAKER_03: Um and so yeah, no, I'd uh that's that's one less Christmas card you have to send.
48:35
SPEAKER_00: Nail this.
48:36
SPEAKER_00: Win-win.
48:38
SPEAKER_00: I have never sent him a Christmas card.
48:40
SPEAKER_00: Text.
48:40
SPEAKER_00: It's one last Christmas text you have to send.
48:43
SPEAKER_00: No, it it would break my heart.
48:44
SPEAKER_00: It definitely would.
48:45
SPEAKER_00: And that's true, I think, for any, you know, if it was, you know, fiancee, if it was, you know, Ragnar or anything like that.
48:52
SPEAKER_00: It would uh I have three people in my life.
48:54
SPEAKER_00: Ragnar, um, fiance, Reese, and then James and Nate.
49:01
SPEAKER_00: Don't do it to me.
49:02
SPEAKER_00: Jesus Christ, dude.
49:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah I'm telling you, don't do it.
49:05
SPEAKER_03: I'd be so mad.

SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
49:28

49:31
SPEAKER_06: If the High and Dry podcast went into the like they said, like you do one show, you get millions and millions of viewers, they all love it, they all kind of buy the merchandise, they all subscribe.
49:44
SPEAKER_06: You and James can never record together again.
49:47
SPEAKER_06: Um, in fact, you can't even, you know, you have a restraining order out against each other.
49:52
SPEAKER_06: We're no we're never allowed to each other friends against a word of each other, but that one last show you did, you know, it brings you money, it brings you babes, it brings you, you know, all the other stuff high and dry's brought me.

SPEAKER_00: Three, two, one.
50:35

SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
51:07
SPEAKER_03: So I I don't really want fame or anything.
51:10
SPEAKER_03: I like legitimately when on my Twitch stream, I'm like, God, I don't want my audience to please don't stay here.

51:21
SPEAKER_03: I just want to keep this like small group of people because I don't give a shit about Twitch streaming.
51:28
SPEAKER_03: I just I'm just here because you all are here and I like you.
51:34
SPEAKER_03: Alright.
51:35
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, James, final thoughts?
51:37
SPEAKER_03: Um yeah, I I just think that this wish fulfillment uh kind of uh plot, I mean because this is a plot, right?
51:49
SPEAKER_03: I think of it as a story, as my story.
51:52
SPEAKER_03: Uh, this kind of wish fulfillment plot never goes well.
51:55
SPEAKER_03: Uh things things are pretty bad.
51:59
SPEAKER_03: From all the people positing these things, I I think it's you it seems like it'd be a pretty traumatic situation.
52:05
SPEAKER_03: All you have to do is look at lottery winners like and how their lives change uh for the worse a lot of the time.
52:12
SPEAKER_03: Uh and that's probably what would happen to me and all this shit.
52:16
SPEAKER_03: Um and I don't want it.
52:19
SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, no, I I I would still just go for it.
52:25
SPEAKER_00: I mean, especially if you're talking about, you know, you know, the people I care for, they've been through it.
52:31
SPEAKER_00: And you know, like just go get what you want.
52:36
SPEAKER_00: I mean, none of I mean 99% of us are never gonna really get all that, so you know.
52:43
SPEAKER_03: I think it takes away the other person's agency making that decision for them.
52:52
SPEAKER_03: You know, you they don't get to choose.
52:54
SPEAKER_03: You're taking that away from them when you make that decision.
52:57
SPEAKER_03: Can we ask them?
52:59
SPEAKER_03: Can we ask them before we're gonna do that?
53:00
SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah, if you could ask, you could ask, but no, not for the sake of this question.
53:04
SPEAKER_00: But so that's our final thoughts.
53:06
SPEAKER_00: So there it is, there you have it.
