:Laura: and it's a new year.
9
:Ja Fair?
10
:Xhafer: a new year, both in terms
of when this episode comes out.
11
:And also for us, because it's
been weeks uh, we didn't record
12
:over the holidays at all, and it's
January 2nd here, so happy New Year.
13
:and uh, yeah, we, we we're catching up.
14
:We just, how was your holidays?
15
:Laura: Yeah.
16
:Our holidays were pretty good.
17
:I mean, we weren't on the
beach like some people.
18
:Xhafer: I did not, I did, I,
I sent, I sent a photo, right?
19
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
20
:It was like right on the beach.
21
:I was pretty mad.
22
:Xhafer: That photo is as
close as I got to the beach.
23
:Laura: So you didn't even like
go walk down on the beach?
24
:Wow.
25
:Xhafer: Not once
26
:Laura: I would've been there like
right the second I got there, and
27
:then pretty much the whole time.
28
:Xhafer: you say that.
29
:But that part of Florida has
these micro mosquitoes right now.
30
:Laura: Oh, fuck that.
31
:Xhafer: Yeah, I, I, I heard all about
them and then I barely left the house.
32
:Laura: Oof.
33
:Xhafer: Um,
34
:Laura: Yikes.
35
:No.
36
:Xhafer: like, they don't do the
numbing thing that mosquitoes do.
37
:So you feel them bite you,
but they're too small to see
38
:Laura: Yeah.
39
:No thanks.
40
:Sounds like Chis.
41
:Xhafer: Yeah.
42
:You just find out, you walk into a
uh, swarm of them when you walk into a
43
:swarm of them and they start biting you.
44
:And apparently it's a real problem
in that area of Fort Myers right now.
45
:So.
46
:Laura: Okay.
47
:All right.
48
:Maybe it was fine to be here.
49
:Xhafer: You say that, but the thing
I'm neglecting to mention is that
50
:photo was taken from a hot tub.
51
:Laura: Ah, damage affair.
52
:You turned it around again.
53
:Xhafer: Yes.
54
:So,
55
:Laura: Yep.
56
:Xhafer: very, very pretty place.
57
:With my uncle.
58
:It was nice to spend time with
my mom and my sister as well.
59
:our little road trip down
the 20 something hour drive,
60
:yeah.
61
:Went to
62
:Laura: That's nice
63
:Xhafer: a Bucky's.
64
:Laura: Yeah.
65
:You got your first Bucky's experience.
66
:Xhafer: I hated it.
67
:I hated it.
68
:I hated it so much.
69
:Now it's not even like, I mean,
it was asked to ask people and
70
:it was eight 30 in the morning.
71
:Laura: and it was like the
weekend before Christmas.
72
:Xhafer: the weekend before
73
:Laura: that's gotta be the
worst time to be at a Bucky's.
74
:Xhafer: saw tons of traffic
heading north, and there was almost
75
:no one like us driving south.
76
:Laura: Weird.
77
:Yeah.
78
:Xhafer: I think most people were
leaving to, the retirees were
79
:going up to see their families,
80
:Laura: Mm
81
:Xhafer: kind of the general vibe.
82
:It was very packed
traffic for a lot of it.
83
:so the Bucky's was crowded,
but it wasn't the crowding that
84
:bothered me with the Buckys
85
:Laura: Okay.
86
:Xhafer: to when I walked.
87
:I walked out of there and I'm
all like, that felt too American.
88
:Laura: Sure.
89
:I mean, it's Texas, bro, like,
90
:Xhafer: Well, it's like, it's like my
sister's like, what's wrong with that?
91
:Right.
92
:You know, like, but I'm all like,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
93
:It felt like I was in a place
that was built by Europeans to
94
:mock America, like listener.
95
:If you've never left, if you're an
American and you've never left America.
96
:You might not be aware that in parts
of Europe, most cities I've been in, in
97
:Europe, they do have like American stores,
98
:Laura: It seems legit.
99
:Yeah.
100
:Xhafer: Yeah.
101
:Like, you know, you've got like
your Indian store, you know, you've
102
:got your, like your Asian market.
103
:There are American stores and they
are a hundred percent mocking you
104
:Laura: No.
105
:Xhafer: there.
106
:It's important for you to know
that they might not be trying to
107
:mock you, but they are mocking you.
108
:And this felt like I was
actively being mocked
109
:Laura: Yeah.
110
:Xhafer: the entire time.
111
:Also, I had a fresh brisket
taco and it was miserable.
112
:Laura: Oh, okay.
113
:Weird.
114
:Xhafer: Are they normally
115
:Laura: their brisket's really good.
116
:Xhafer: The, the brisket was okay.
117
:It was kind of bland
to be perfectly honest.
118
:Like they had just
forgotten seasoning on it.
119
:and the tortilla was okay.
120
:The tortilla was probably the
best part of an egg brisket taco.
121
:Laura: hmm.
122
:Did you use the bathroom at all?
123
:Xhafer: No,
124
:Laura: Bathrooms are real nice.
125
:Bucky's bathrooms.
126
:I don't know how they do it with all that
traffic, but they keep 'em real nice.
127
:Well, I think you can be a
Bucky's like bathroom attendant
128
:and make like 60,000 a year.
129
:Xhafer: Oh.
130
:They had wages up,
131
:Laura: yeah.
132
:Xhafer: on what they were hiring for
certain people, their hourly rates.
133
:Bucky's be doing well and
bucky's be paying people well.
134
:So,
135
:Laura: So we can give them props
for like the paying people.
136
:Well,
137
:Xhafer: oh yeah.
138
:A hundred percent.
139
:If they're paying people well and
they've got good, I don't know their
140
:benefits package, but if it's like, if
it's a good place to work because of the
141
:corporate environment, making it a good
place to work, then ups to Bucky's for
142
:sure.
143
:Um, but I had dry ass tater tots.
144
:A miserable brisket egg taco,
145
:Laura: Yeah,
146
:Xhafer: and I felt like I was being
147
:Laura: just the timing, like the
timing of being there sucked.
148
:Yeah.
149
:Xhafer: Yeah.
150
:I mean, it was like the start of day two.
151
:We were like maybe three or we were
in Florida by that point, maybe.
152
:No, I think we were in South
Georgia still sort like maybe
153
:two or three hours into day two.
154
:Day one was 12 plus hours in the car.
155
:So I mean, that will
obviously color my experience.
156
:Laura: Yeah.
157
:Xhafer: pretend it won't,
but still just bies.
158
:Maybe it's not for me.
159
:Oh, Battlestar.
160
:Um, we should probably talk
about Battlestar Galactica.
161
:We do need a content warning
in front of this guy for sure.
162
:Laura: oh, there's so
much content warning,
163
:Xhafer: Um, my notes.
164
:Laura: one, the next one.
165
:Xhafer: Yeah.
166
:Um, my notes say content
warning, suicide question mark.
167
:Domestic violence question mark.
168
:I don't know.
169
:Fuck this show.
170
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
171
:Xhafer: full disclosure, it's been.
172
:Two and a half weeks since
I watched this episode.
173
:Listener.
174
:Laura: It's been a minute for us
175
:Xhafer: Yeah.
176
:Sorry in advance, I don't remember what
exactly I was getting at there, but I'm
177
:sure I will as we go over the episode.
178
:Laura: Yeah.
179
:So those things are probably
gonna be a problem if you need to
180
:check out, come back next week.
181
:Well, maybe don't, 'cause
it's gonna get worse.
182
:Xhafer: Oh, okay.
183
:I remember what the suicide is.
184
:What was the domestic violence?
185
:I know why the suicide
has a question mark now.
186
:I remember that.
187
:That's, that's, it's silent suicide.
188
:So she's not
189
:Laura: did Starbeck and Lee,
Callie and Tyrell, anybody
190
:do a domestic violence Stark?
191
:And Anders,
192
:Xhafer: Oh, Athena and
193
:Laura: hilo,
194
:right?
195
:I.
196
:Xhafer: mark.
197
:Suicide question mark makes
a lot more sense right now.
198
:Okay.
199
:Laura: I was just like going
through our couples, like
200
:who's, who's hitting somebody?
201
:Uh,
202
:Xhafer: No one's hitting nobody.
203
:Laura: yeah.
204
:Xhafer: assisted, assisted
suicide, I guess would probably
205
:be the best way to describe that.
206
:I don't know.
207
:I feel like I should
pause and go get a drink.
208
:That's where I'm at right now.
209
:All
210
:Laura: So we're still on the algae planet.
211
:Xhafer: of the Alki, the,
212
:Laura: there's some templess, Starbuck
nukes, blah, blah, blah and the
213
:final five are gonna be revealed
to the chosen one, supposedly.
214
:Xhafer: That's a thing
that's about to happen ish.
215
:Um, so the cys are willing, all agree
to bring the Raiders back except
216
:for Deanna who's still fighting it.
217
:They're unwilling to call Adama's Bluff.
218
:Laura: Yeah, there we have some like
tense moments where they're like doing
219
:the nuke thing again, like the sequence,
the super long uh, nuke firing sequence.
220
:But, yeah, we get five out
of the six ships pullback.
221
:But the model UN is really unhappy
222
:with this Deanna's behavior.
223
:Xhafer: they are not happy.
224
:You do not defy the will of the model.
225
:Un Deanna.
226
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
227
:while this is going on uh, Lee is not
going to call Anders Bluff either.
228
:He's going to, I don't remember who was
bluffing, who this is the side effects
229
:of like not watching this recently.
230
:Xhafer: gonna go save my wife.
231
:Fuck all this shit.
232
:Laura: Lee pulls the gun on him.
233
:Yeah.
234
:Xhafer: And then he is all like,
and he is all like, okay, well
235
:I will ask Awa to go save Kara.
236
:Laura: yes.
237
:We're sending Dee to do this job.
238
:Xhafer: Big yikes.
239
:Laura: Okay.
240
:Xhafer: Big.
241
:Yikes.
242
:Laura: Dee is rightfully rather pissed.
243
:And Adama does pull back the missiles so
he is not gonna nuke the surface, but,
244
:um, the model UN's gotta do something.
245
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
246
:we see Athena asking Hilo for
help and her plan to rescue her.
247
:The plan is to shoot her so that
she resurrects on the base ship.
248
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
249
:He does it with great distress.
250
:Like he's very upset about doing this.
251
:But, I don't know, is this a, this
is kind of a good plan, right?
252
:Like kind of
253
:Xhafer: it makes sense
254
:Laura: there's a lot of logic in it.
255
:Xhafer: except for the part where
Cylons know which cy it is instantly.
256
:So they're all gonna be like, Hey,
what the fuck are you doing here?
257
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
258
:I mean, she can, she can spin dough,
I believe in her ability to spin it.
259
:Xhafer: Well, I mean, and she
does, she, she resurrects with
260
:the right person to get some help.
261
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
262
:Xhafer: Uh, But, you know, even
chance that CA's there waiting
263
:for her when she wakes up and
could have been really bad time.
264
:So,
265
:Laura: Yeah, I guess Cavel
might be able to see through
266
:Xhafer: yeah, CA keval
tolerates No bullshit.
267
:Well,
268
:except his bullshit.
269
:Laura: but you know what?
270
:Cavel does not seem like a asylum
who gives two fucks about children.
271
:So he's not gonna be around for this.
272
:He's gonna be like, oh, this
is a children's sub plot.
273
:No thanks.
274
:Xhafer: Dean Stockwell
doesn't work with children.
275
:Laura: Exactly.
276
:Xhafer: I'm sure Dean Stockwell
was a lovely gentleman.
277
:I hope I, I hope so.
278
:Laura: Yeah.
279
:I hope so.
280
:But Cavel not a lovely gentleman.
281
:Fuck this guy.
282
:Xhafer: Fuck this guy.
283
:Survivor.
284
:Count 42,401, which is down one.
285
:Now, technically this is an unseen death.
286
:Laura: Okay.
287
:Xhafer: But it's probably actually
Athena and they forgot the rules.
288
:Laura: Oh yeah.
289
:Xhafer: it's, 'cause it happens, it
happens in the, preamble bit there, right?
290
:so it, it's one of those ones that counts
sometimes, but doesn't always count.
291
:But, but Athena has never counted,
there's never been a plus one for her
292
:Laura: Hmm.
293
:Like even when we brought her on,
like as a lieutenant, like that didn't
294
:Xhafer: That, yeah.
295
:No, there was no plus
one for her at any point.
296
:So for her to get a minus one, anytime
there's been a known cylon quantity
297
:in the fleet, the number is static
with that person's life or death.
298
:Laura: Yeah.
299
:Xhafer: Like Cylons do not count
towards the survivor total.
300
:So it's.
301
:So technically this is unseen, but
it's probably Athena and they forgot
302
:the rules, is the general consensus
from what I was reading online.
303
:Laura: Yeah.
304
:Yeah.
305
:I just realized something this keeps
happening to me, like we'll be talking
306
:about something else and I'll go, oh wait.
307
:I find it interesting that Hilo
and Athena haven't, we haven't
308
:had like a conversation with
them about having another baby.
309
:Xhafer: I don't really feel like
I am a person to talk about this.
310
:Um, I would think that that might be
a very difficult conversation to have
311
:given that they are under the impression
that they lost their previous one.
312
:Laura: Yeah.
313
:I, I understand.
314
:I do, but I think it comes up, I think.
315
:That the, the two characters
might thought, think about
316
:it, might have discussed it.
317
:Like you have private conversations
with your person all the time.
318
:You know?
319
:Xhafer: Yeah.
320
:I would, I would be surprised if
they didn't have that conversation.
321
:Laura: Yeah.
322
:Xhafer: Um, they might feel it's moot.
323
:They might be like, well, it's
not gonna work because it's not
324
:Laura: didn't work before.
325
:Xhafer: Like it's, it wasn't
a problem with that child.
326
:It's a problem with all
possible hypothetical children.
327
:We could have.
328
:Laura: Yeah,
329
:Xhafer: No one really knows the
330
:Laura: we don't, we didn't really
get a ton of like doc coddle,
331
:explanation.
332
:Like I, I know there was like a tiny
bit, and then when we went to one of
333
:our last times on, they were like,
oh, here's some more that didn't
334
:actually happen in that episode.
335
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
336
:Laura: But yeah, I suppose he could have
spun it as like, this is never gonna work.
337
:I don't know that he would do that though,
338
:Xhafer: Yeah.
339
:Laura: but they could have
inferred it from whatever he said.
340
:Xhafer: yeah, maybe.
341
:I mean, we don't have a Dr.
342
:Ball telling us what's going on.
343
:Moment.
344
:Laura: But we come back from theme
and Athena's body's being taken away.
345
:And Adama and Rosalyn are like WTF Hilo.
346
:Xhafer: They are not happy.
347
:Uh, They have put the entire
fleet in jeopardy here.
348
:Laura: Yeah.
349
:Xhafer: just like you don't know what
happens when they get downloaded.
350
:She might not have any control.
351
:She might not even know
what the fuck happens, like.
352
:They could have every clearance
code we fucking have right now.
353
:I have to go change all of the
passwords, every last password.
354
:Laura: Yeah, that download could come with
a whole like complete scan of everything.
355
:And we, we have some of the training
data and we have some of the
356
:live data and like, I don't know,
357
:Xhafer: It's a whole thing.
358
:Laura: I did, I did find it like
a little bit rich that she reminds
359
:him that he's put the whole fleet in
jeopardy when it's like they did this
360
:'cause of the thing that you did.
361
:Xhafer: Oh yeah, a hundred percent.
362
:This is their fault.
363
:And he was like, bitch,
this is your fault.
364
:And he's right to say that.
365
:A hundred percent.
366
:He's right to say that.
367
:Laura: Yep.
368
:It's like, we wouldn't have had to do
this if you hadn't done the other thing.
369
:Xhafer: Yeah.
370
:Laura: But uh, Rosalyn does like
a decent job of taking her blame,
371
:says, yep, I made a mistake.
372
:I hope that Athena is good for it.
373
:Xhafer: Yeah.
374
:TBD
375
:After this Athena wakes up
and talks to Caprica about how
376
:the fleet has lost her trust.
377
:Laura: mm-hmm.
378
:Xhafer: Spinning a little yarn here.
379
:Yeah.
380
:Laura: Yeah.
381
:Yeah.
382
:And Capric is probably like the right
exact right person for this because she's,
383
:she is a little upset about some things.
384
:Reminder,
385
:Xhafer: Yeah.
386
:She's fucking Humes.
387
:Laura: yeah.
388
:Has, has Bal Baltar did fuck off already?
389
:Yes.
390
:So, like, capric has got some
emotions about the whole, everything.
391
:Xhafer: Yeah.
392
:Laura: I, I understand.
393
:Good for her.
394
:Xhafer: Dee and Sergeant Fisher get
pinned down and then the sergeant
395
:gets hit and Dee is on her own.
396
:Laura: Yeah, almost immediately.
397
:We are not gonna have
the sergeant anymore.
398
:Dee's gonna have to pull this out
399
:by herself.
400
:Okay.
401
:Xhafer: Lee Radio's tear old to tell him
that the silences are moving in as we
402
:see Gaas and Deanna talk on the surface.
403
:Laura: Yeah,
404
:Xhafer: she's like, uh, by the way
I probably should have mentioned
405
:this before but it's possible that
when I see the faces of the Final
406
:five cylons here, I will go insane.
407
:Just, just casually mention.
408
:By the way, this might end poorly for
you because I'm going to go crazy.
409
:Hope that's okay.
410
:Laura: I mean, I'm going to
go ahead and spoil this now.
411
:I'm not very satisfied with this.
412
:DNA subplot at all.
413
:Xhafer: Yeah.
414
:That's fair.
415
:Laura: Yeah.
416
:Okay.
417
:I was like, I just, I just
don't enjoy the way this ends.
418
:Xhafer: Well, you haven't
enjoyed any of it.
419
:Like, like, I mean, it's
been a continuous point.
420
:I mean, we were recording last episode.
421
:You're just like, oh God, this
Deanna plot just won't fucking end.
422
:And I'm sitting here knowing
that it ends, next episode going
423
:don't worry about it that much.
424
:Uh uh.
425
:Laura: But the ending was like,
I felt like this built up so
426
:much and then just kind of went,
427
:Xhafer: Yeah.
428
:Laura: just fizzled out.
429
:Yeah, she might go mad.
430
:Okay.
431
:Like, what are you gonna do?
432
:Be a Leo Obin?
433
:I don't know.
434
:Like, okay.
435
:Xhafer: Yep.
436
:Laura: But six bts in the
background, reminding him that
437
:Deanna is not the chosen one.
438
:She thinks she is, but it's you baby.
439
:Xhafer: Gaius is the Cho Simba one.
440
:Laura: Yeah.
441
:Yeah.
442
:Chosen one, whatever.
443
:Who cares?
444
:Xhafer: Over in the downed raptor.
445
:Kara's hand is real fucked up.
446
:Laura: Oh yeah.
447
:She's like trying to take off her gloves
and they're like burned to her hands.
448
:Xhafer: Yeah.
449
:Laura: so grody.
450
:It's so grody.
451
:Xhafer: I think Kara's gotten
seriously injured like every
452
:six episodes of this show.
453
:It feels like that she
spent more time in Med Bay,
454
:I feel like, than anyone.
455
:Laura: like super breaks her leg
right away, right in the first season.
456
:Xhafer: yeah, yeah.
457
:She's had for multiple episodes
of the broken leg, all kinds of
458
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
459
:Yeah.
460
:She's like trying to take the gloves
off with her teeth at one point, 'cause
461
:she like can't do it with her hands.
462
:And uh, she almost shoots Dee
as Dee comes into this raptor.
463
:Xhafer: Yeah.
464
:Dee.
465
:Gives her some pain meds and
some stems, I'm guessing.
466
:But she also gives her some
well-deserved attitude about having
467
:to rescue her husband's mistress.
468
:Laura: Yeah.
469
:They both are like, oh boy, this sucks.
470
:And it does.
471
:Xhafer: Yeah.
472
:Laura: We had Sam and
Lee setting traps too.
473
:they get some battle bots like in the
close to the perimeter and they get one of
474
:them destroyed, but two of them get away.
475
:And then I think an they lose a
dude, like somebody gets killed.
476
:Xhafer: Yeah.
477
:Athena holds her and she
finally stops crying.
478
:Boomer is like, good fucking take her.
479
:I'm done with this shit.
480
:Laura: None of the CYS has
any idea how to be a mother.
481
:Like
482
:Xhafer: I mean, yeah.
483
:There, it's, it's literally
against the programming.
484
:Laura: Yeah, yeah.
485
:Well, but here's the thing, like it's
against their programming, but something
486
:about the biological process seems
to have made it possible for Athena.
487
:Xhafer: Yeah.
488
:Laura: Like, 'cause she gets it
489
:Xhafer: Athena also like
immediately knows what's wrong.
490
:She's like, well, her
stomach's heart is rock.
491
:Dumb ass.
492
:There's a, there's a problem
with her intestine or something.
493
:And they're just like, oh, we
didn't think to do any medicine
494
:'cause we don't get sick.
495
:So, whoops.
496
:Laura: Frigging bonkers because we
know Simons like know some stuff,
497
:some ish stuff about medicine.
498
:Like what?
499
:They knew enough to know how
to take out someone's ovary
500
:Xhafer: Like,
501
:Laura: did they actually
take Care's ovary?
502
:Xhafer: yeah.
503
:Laura: Is that just a Leo bin story?
504
:Xhafer: Oh, that might just
be a Leo open story, to be
505
:Laura: she had an actual
like scar and stuff.
506
:Xhafer: Yeah.
507
:It still might be a Leo o scar.
508
:With a Leo story.
509
:Laura: that's true.
510
:Somebody opened her up a little bit.
511
:Xhafer: Yeah.
512
:But also like fuck faces.
513
:You spent like a year and how many
people fucking tied to machines
514
:trying to make fucking babies.
515
:And you as you can't do basic
baby shit, you're this bad at it.
516
:What was the rest of the plan?
517
:Laura: Right.
518
:What are you gonna do once
you actually have babies?
519
:What are you gonna do with them?
520
:Xhafer: This,
521
:you know, for like the sirens being
the plan people, that's their thing.
522
:They're the people with the plan.
523
:It really seems like they don't, sometimes
524
:This will come up again.
525
:Laura: this,
526
:Xhafer: This will come up a couple
of times again, and this is really
527
:one where you're just like looking
back on what we've seen already, the
528
:writing might have been on the wall.
529
:Laura: Here's the thing too.
530
:Like, so you have maximum
12 models of Cy, right?
531
:And
532
:Xhafer: Sure.
533
:Laura: well, okay.
534
:I I do have my theory that
Rosalyn is a secret 13th silent.
535
:So,
536
:Xhafer: We know that there
are 12 models of cylon.
537
:That's what they've told us.
538
:Laura: yes.
539
:Okay.
540
:So.
541
:If you have 12 models, ofs, and
then, then you also have like
542
:this Final five business, which it
seems like there's probably not a
543
:lot of those guys running around.
544
:Right?
545
:Like we have a shit ton
of Doral, we have shit ton
546
:Xhafer: they're not on the
base ships, presumably.
547
:We haven't
548
:Laura: yeah.
549
:yeah.
550
:'cause the other silences don't even
know what the fuck they look like
551
:unless they're just like programmed
to have a blind spot to like this
552
:half of the ship or something.
553
:Xhafer: But Gaas would've
fucking run into 'em.
554
:Laura: Yeah, that's true.
555
:That's true.
556
:so that's like theoretically
you don't get diverse points
557
:of view among the other seven.
558
:Like you get some variety from their
ex lived experiences and whatever.
559
:'cause we saw that like Gina was vastly
different than Caprica six, right?
560
:Like Gina went through some
crazy stuff and she had like
561
:a whole different outlook.
562
:Still some similar stuff.
563
:So if you have that limited amount of
like thought pool, you're gonna have some
564
:hella big blind spots as a civilization,
565
:Xhafer: Yeah.
566
:Laura: like as a society, you're
not gonna be addressing everything
567
:correctly or maybe even most of it.
568
:Hmm.
569
:Xhafer: Yep.
570
:Laura: Interesting.
571
:she's got a blocked intestine Athena
thinks, and uh, this needs to be
572
:seen by a human doctor because
you all are fucking stupid.
573
:Xhafer: Y'all are so dumb.
574
:This baby needs to see
Doc Coddle immediately.
575
:The one doctor left in the galaxy.
576
:Laura: Yes, boomer like loses her shit
at this point that she's, she's onto the
577
:ruse, um, and starts screaming at her
for no reason, like leaves the baby out
578
:of this, that she should just snap her
neck, which nice callback, I suppose, to
579
:the miniseries and Caprica six behavior.
580
:Xhafer: Yeah.
581
:Laura: But Caprica knocks her out instead,
582
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
583
:Laura: breaks her neck and they've
gotta get on a, a captured.
584
:Did they have a captured raptor?
585
:Is that what they were
gonna take back to Galacto?
586
:Xhafer: You get this baby to coddle stat.
587
:After this we go back to the algae
planet where the cylons overrun Lee
588
:Anders and the other combatants.
589
:Galen hasn't figured out the temple
yet and they've gotta blow it up now.
590
:Laura: this is also really annoying.
591
:This whole, like, I can't
figure out what's going on with
592
:this eye, with this temple.
593
:Like,
594
:Xhafer: There's something
with an exploding star.
595
:Laura: like then the star that we
noticed is gonna go supernova soon.
596
:Any, any minute now.
597
:Not satisfying it's in
the hands of the gods.
598
:They're gonna bug out and
they're gonna blow this joint.
599
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
600
:Dee is trying to repair the raptor
that Kara got shot down in as a
601
:drugged up star Bes tries to help
both with the Raptor and by going on
602
:and lying about how Lee won't cheat.
603
:Laura: Yeah, Dee does slap
her at some point for bumbling
604
:too much about the boys.
605
:That's very satisfying
606
:Xhafer: yeah.
607
:Laura: because Uck, come on.
608
:Come on.
609
:I dunno.
610
:She's out of her mind on drugs
and from pain and stuff, so.
611
:Okay.
612
:Xhafer: we only see them like
613
:moderately fool around.
614
:Right.
615
:Laura: Her, her and Lee.
616
:Starbuck.
617
:And Lee.
618
:Okay.
619
:Xhafer: there's part of me that's like
star be's is too drugged up out of
620
:her mind to be able to lie right now.
621
:Laura: Uhhuh.
622
:Xhafer: Maybe they haven't actually.
623
:Maybe it's just been a little bit of a
heavy, I'm not saying that's not cheating.
624
:Laura: right.
625
:Xhafer: Uh, to be clear it's definitely
outside of the confines of Lee's
626
:defined relationship with Dee because
she's was pretty clear about that.
627
:Laura: Yeah.
628
:Xhafer: But maybe it's, I don't know.
629
:It's,
630
:Laura: Yeah, I feel like this,
this is one of those things where
631
:Starbuck has in her mind that
cheating is the actual act of sex.
632
:Like,
633
:Xhafer: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
634
:Blow Gibbs don't count.
635
:Yeah.
636
:Laura: Right.
637
:And so she's talking about that.
638
:But Dee has in her mind, def definition
of cheating, like being attracted and
639
:spending your time with another woman.
640
:Xhafer: emotionally cheating is
cheating for, for Dee, for sure.
641
:Yeah.
642
:Laura: Yeah.
643
:And so Starbuck is being honest,
but it's already crossed D'S
644
:line, so she's just like, po
645
:Xhafer: Fuck you.
646
:Dee doesn't
647
:Laura: Yeah, no, that's I'll save it
for the next episode on that, but yeah.
648
:Deanna and Gais enter the temple with
a cavel who just came out of nowhere.
649
:Xhafer: Right,
650
:Laura: The fuck.
651
:Xhafer: What the fuck is
this cavel doing here?
652
:Laura: What?
653
:Xhafer: My notes.
654
:How say in somehow a carefull just
655
:Laura: Yes, this was
pretty infuriating for me.
656
:I was like, you, when the Model
UN is talking about Deanna and
657
:Gais, they don't mention there's
anyone else on that fucking ship.
658
:Xhafer: Yeah.
659
:Laura: There's no cavel worried
about his other Cavel counterpart.
660
:You know?
661
:I was just like, Ugh.
662
:And why?
663
:Why do we need a cavel for this?
664
:Why did he just like
worm his way on there?
665
:Because he was like, I wanna
see what the fuck you're doing.
666
:I don't know.
667
:It was not satisfying there either.
668
:but they run up to the explosives and
they're trying to like dismantle them.
669
:Xhafer: yeah.
670
:Pulling all the little
make you go boom tabs.
671
:Laura: Yeah.
672
:Cutting the blue wires.
673
:Yeah.
674
:And uh, Lee's yelling at Tyrell to
blow it, but surprise he can't do it.
675
:Xhafer: Yeah,
676
:Laura: Then Lee tries to blow it, but
now it doesn't work 'cause we've pulled
677
:too many of the Makey go boom tabs.
678
:Xhafer: yeah.
679
:Drama.
680
:Laura: and he's pretty pissed
at Teel, but surprise, there's
681
:like an ominous storm gathering,
682
:Xhafer: Yeah.
683
:The sun goes Nova right then,
684
:Laura: huh?
685
:Xhafer: Gaius is like, Hey, the eye.
686
:I found it.
687
:It's that spot on the floor,
688
:Laura: The one that everybody's
been walking around.
689
:Xhafer: right?
690
:No one looks down, fucking idiots.
691
:Meanwhile, Tyrell is looking up and
saying that the Nova is the eye,
692
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
693
:Xhafer: and this is when Cavel is like,
Hey, this isn't about Earth, is it?
694
:I've put things together
despite being here the whole
695
:time, despite not being here.
696
:Laura: Yeah.
697
:Cabell was just here to say that.
698
:'cause we can't have Gaia say that
that's the only reason he's here.
699
:Mm-hmm.
700
:Xhafer: And this is when Caval
is like, nah, this, I'm done
701
:with this shit to Deanna.
702
:He pulls a gun, but Gaius shoots him so
that Deanna can fulfill her destiny and
703
:learn the identities of the final five.
704
:Laura: I guess Deanna must
have given Gaia the gun.
705
:Huh?
706
:'cause there's no way Cavel
would've let Gaas have a gun.
707
:Like he wouldn't aborted that
ship if he knew Gaas had a gun.
708
:Xhafer: Probably not.
709
:Um, it'd be weird guy.
710
:Having a gun is weird.
711
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
712
:Xhafer: Just in general.
713
:That's not something Yeah.
714
:Laura: every time guys has a
gun, he shoots somebody with it.
715
:Xhafer: every, well, it's either
that or he's just always packing.
716
:Laura: Hmm.
717
:Xhafer: Maybe he's just, you know, one
of those guys, maybe he is got his CCW
718
:maybe guy's just always has a gun on him.
719
:Laura: But he came from a base star
where they should have checked.
720
:Xhafer: There was no TSA on the Bay Star.
721
:Laura: Hmm.
722
:There's their problem.
723
:Right.
724
:That's one of those blind spots.
725
:One of the societal blind spots.
726
:They have
727
:Xhafer: only seven of them.
728
:Why do they need TSA?
729
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
730
:Yeah.
731
:Xhafer: ain't worried about it.
732
:Anyone who's coming on
board is one of them, right?
733
:They don't need TSA
734
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
735
:Weird.
736
:Xhafer: So Deanna is in
the dream state here.
737
:She's at the the COBOL Opera House,
738
:which is, Opera House in Vancouver,
actually, that is rather famous
739
:and used in a bunch of things.
740
:Um, does the same when Gaas was in, when
they were on COBOL in his dream state.
741
:And she gets to look at the final five.
742
:And she's just like, oh, it's you.
743
:Oh, wow, this is so dramatic.
744
:I can't believe all these
spoilers I'm receiving right now.
745
:If I were to say these names out
loud, instead of just reacting
746
:ominously, it would run this show
into the fucking gutter, wouldn't it?
747
:Oh.
748
:I'm so sorry.
749
:To one of you in particular.
750
:Laura: Forgive me.
751
:I'm so sorry.
752
:Xhafer: Yep.
753
:Laura: Okay.
754
:Xhafer: And then she
comes back to the reality.
755
:she is blind, hemorrhaging blood,
and then just fucking dies.
756
:Laura: Yeah, she's like seizing too,
but she's like, oh, it was so beautiful.
757
:but she does tell Gais he was right too.
758
:She says, you were right.
759
:But she doesn't say about what,
760
:Xhafer: Yep.
761
:Laura: and that's not satisfying either.
762
:and then we get gais like,
763
:God, why have you forsaken me?
764
:Give me the truth.
765
:Am I a silo?
766
:And Tyrell welcomes him home.
767
:Xhafer: He like goes to get the vision
and gets a pistol in the back of the head.
768
:Laura: Yeah, it's very good
the way Tyre clocks him.
769
:And he does, you know,
his welcome to Earth.
770
:Boom.
771
:Xhafer: Yeah.
772
:Gotcha.
773
:Bitch.
774
:Get down, Mr.
775
:President.
776
:Yeah.
777
:The Cys jump away.
778
:Galactica rushes to rescue everyone and
they get away at the very last moment.
779
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
780
:Rescue ships accounted for.
781
:Xhafer: yep.
782
:We see that Tyrell has snuck ballar
on board and put him, they hide him
783
:in the Bri so most people don't know
that they have Ballar right now.
784
:Laura: Yeah.
785
:Yeah.
786
:Ty, he, he gets he like presents
him to Ty and Ty's like, oh, goodie.
787
:Xhafer: Oh, yes.
788
:Laura: Very, very good.
789
:we get specs returning to Sam and Lee.
790
:To Dee, but everybody looks sad,
791
:Xhafer: Dee is just so pissed.
792
:Laura: but we get Sharon with her.
793
:That's, that's a good thing.
794
:Xhafer: And Caprica.
795
:Caprica six is on board and
immediately taken by Marines.
796
:Caprica six and Gais are
both on Galactica right now.
797
:Ooh.
798
:Laura: Yeah, I really want Caprica
six to get to punch him in the face.
799
:That would be satisfying for me,
800
:but I don't think it's gonna happen.
801
:Xhafer: Yeah.
802
:Laura: She is like immediately
taken into custody and we have
803
:no idea what's gonna happen
804
:Xhafer: Mm-hmm.
805
:So then we get them trying to make this
make sense for the audience where Ty is
806
:all like, I don't know, maybe there was
another Nova that they saw and Gita's
807
:like, yeah, 13,000 light years away.
808
:It was, it's a nebula now.
809
:Like there was another
nova when they were here.
810
:What a crazy cosmic qui.
811
:Inky dink.
812
:Laura: Um, I don't know.
813
:Xhafer: I can suspend my disbelief for
spaceships and humanoid robots with
814
:reincarnation and visions and mind
six pt and I'll give this other stuff,
815
:but two supernovas at the same time.
816
:It's a bit much.
817
:Laura: One was a very convenient supernova
just now, like check off Supernova.
818
:Xhafer: Yeah,
819
:Laura: then we get more weirdness because
Hilo comes in to SPS and ask her, Hey,
820
:Xhafer: yeah,
821
:Laura: can I, do you have any
pictures of your old apartment?
822
:Which weird.
823
:Do you just have pictures of your.
824
:Living
825
:Xhafer: pic pictures of the the spa,
I mean the Zillow listing, you know.
826
:Laura: Yeah.
827
:Okay.
828
:There you go.
829
:Uh, and he's like, I've, I've seen this.
830
:Ive Jupiter that was on the floor
before and it's one of her paintings.
831
:Xhafer: Yeah,
832
:Laura: Yeah.
833
:And we did see it in her apartment scenes.
834
:Xhafer: we did.
835
:I told, yeah, I, I
remind our last episode.
836
:I was like, we have seen this before.
837
:Laura: Yeah.
838
:Xhafer: That's what I was
talking about, so, yeah.
839
:Laura: So, Hmm.
840
:But she says, I've just been doodling
this thing since I was a kid.
841
:I, I mean, it is like a hurricane spiral.
842
:Like it's, it's a thing
that's very doodle able.
843
:Xhafer: Like the only way this
would've been more believable is
844
:if it was that really cool s that
everyone drew in middle school.
845
:Laura: Oh my God.
846
:The cool s Yes.
847
:S for super dope.
848
:Xhafer: I hope that was a suggestion
in the writer's room at some point.
849
:It sounds like she doodled as a
kid and it was in her approach.
850
:Just make it the s just make it the cool
SI would've stopped watching this show if
851
:that's what it was.
852
:Laura: now, when we make our
Battle Star parody movie obviously
853
:Xhafer: hopes up listener.
854
:That's never happening.
855
:Laura: no, no, no.
856
:We want Roddy d to keep liking
us or not knowing we exist.
857
:That's the best part.
858
:Not knowing we exist
is the best way to be.
859
:Xhafer: I've, I've been within three feet
of that man and he doesn't know who I am.
860
:Exactly how I like it.
861
:Laura: Exactly.
862
:Xhafer: Shorter than I expected.
863
:Most people are though.
864
:Laura: Yeah.
865
:But she remembers creepy Leo, Ben,
and his creepy shit about her destiny.
866
:So
867
:Xhafer: Destiny,
868
:Laura: pays off in some ways.
869
:At some point,
870
:Xhafer: maybe.
871
:Laura: maybe
872
:Xhafer: I'm
873
:gonna stop.
874
:I'm gonna, I've the face wall.
875
:A fun bit for us is probably not a fun bit
for the listener, this vegan audio format.
876
:So maybe I'm just gonna, whenever I say
maybe like that, just know that it's
877
:accompanied with the face listener.
878
:It's
879
:Laura: Yeah.
880
:Xhafer: thing.
881
:Laura: Sometimes a dramatic pza is not a
882
:Xhafer: Yeah.
883
:Laura: problem.
884
:Okay, so
885
:Xhafer: Yep.
886
:Laura: resurrects with a cavel.
887
:Xhafer: Caval Salt Lake.
888
:We're boxing your whole fucking line.
889
:Laura: Yeah.
890
:Xhafer: Deanna everywhere.
891
:All Deanna's, everywhere.
892
:Gone forever.
893
:Laura: Yeah.
894
:Fundamentally flawed.
895
:If you can go like this off the
rails religiously and whatever,
896
:which is really funny for a society
that has fucking Leo open in it.
897
:Xhafer: right.
898
:You've gone too religious, crazy,
but bin is still acceptable somehow.
899
:Laura: I mean, I guess Leo Obin just
hasn't like, defied the will of the group.
900
:Like he's, he's loonier than she is
about the religious stuff, but Loony
901
:is, that's probably not a PC way to say
that, but yeah, he's, he's a farther gone
902
:on the religious stuff than Deanna is
903
:and, he hasn't like, used that as
an excuse to defy the group yet.
904
:I think that's why he gets to stay
905
:Xhafer: Okay.
906
:That may
907
:Laura: as far as we know.
908
:But yeah, I guess that means no
more Lucy Lawless on this series.
909
:Yeah.
910
:Xhafer: Yeah.
911
:Yeah.
912
:Not for, yeah,
913
:Laura: Yeah.
914
:I guess it's possible that like, there
915
:Xhafer: she had to go make
Spartacus or something.
916
:Laura: there could be like
Deanna's that were not in range
917
:for the boxing or whatever.
918
:Xhafer: I mean, there's, there could be
Deanna's that were off doing other stuff
919
:that weren't able to be, get, got to.
920
:Um, there could be, I mean, if
he says cold storage, so it's
921
:not like they're dead forever.
922
:Probably.
923
:They could
924
:probably bring
925
:them back if
926
:Laura: We're leaving the door open.
927
:Xhafer: Yeah.
928
:there's probably a couple
things that they could do.
929
:I don't know.
930
:Laura: Yeah, you could probably,
like, if you needed to bring the
931
:actress back, you could be like, Hey
we pulled one outta storage and we
932
:made some sort of modification to
your programming, or blah, blah, blah.
933
:I don't know.
934
:You can hand wave some things away,
935
:Xhafer: yeah.
936
:Laura: yeah.
937
:Xhafer: you get flashbacks, you get stuff.
938
:Laura: yeah, she, she tells him that one
day he too, will see the faces of the
939
:final five, and he doesn't give a shit
and hits the button to shut her down.
940
:Xhafer: Fuck it.
941
:Laura: I don't know.
942
:I'm with Cavel.
943
:That whole thing was not good to me.
944
:Are people satisfied with this plot?
945
:Xhafer: um,
946
:Laura: Okay.
947
:Xhafer: I don't think so.
948
:I, I
949
:don't remember.
950
:I don't remember being particularly
fond of it in my initial viewing
951
:talking about it with friends
who were watching the show.
952
:I don't remember anyone going, oh
man, that really turned out great.
953
:Um, I think this is probably one
of the bigger misses of the show.
954
:The, the subplot.
955
:I don't think that's a stretch.
956
:I don't wanna say too much
957
:about anything, just generally speaking.
958
:Laura: Sure.
959
:Xhafer: I mean, we only got 28 episodes
of this show left at this point,
960
:so we're, you know, we're well
past the halfway point, but
961
:there's still some stuff coming
up that I don't wanna spoil, so
962
:Laura: Sure.
963
:Yeah.
964
:Well leading into my rating then
965
:Xhafer: Yeah.
966
:Right away.
967
:One of
968
:12
969
:colonies is how we do here.
970
:Laura: one to 12 colonies.
971
:I, I don't know, I feel like this is like
a five or a six for me, which is weird
972
:'cause the two parters, you know, they're
supposed to set up a lot of stuff and
973
:be satisfying and pay off some stuff,
and it wasn't satisfying for me at all.
974
:Xhafer: Yeah.
975
:Um, I don't know this episode
when I, like, was writing my notes
976
:for this episode, I put eight
977
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
978
:Xhafer: and I don't know why I put
eight after talking about this episode.
979
:Laura: Mm-hmm.
980
:Xhafer: I don't know.
981
:I got lots of upset spaghetti
moments at this episode.
982
:But there's some good stuff in here.
983
:I, I do like the setup, I mean,
Baltar back with the fleet, six
984
:with the fleet at the same time.
985
:That and, and specifically six
very mad at Baltar, if anyone
986
:could ruin Baltar completely.
987
:It is six feet.
988
:It is six.
989
:Um, so this is like watching them
fill a powder keg and just leave it
990
:sitting there and I'm just like, Hmm.
991
:So there's that.
992
:Um, yeah, I don't know.
993
:I'll, I'll, I'll say six.
994
:Laura: Yeah
995
:Xhafer: I mean, if it's a representation
of the, if we're saying this is the
996
:end of the Deanna storyline and I
have to rate that, probably a three.
997
:Um.
998
:Laura: model three or is she model five?
999
:I forget.
:
00:43:33,895 --> 00:43:35,665
Xhafer: They don't tell
us all the numbers.
:
00:43:36,025 --> 00:43:37,315
Like even at the end
:
00:43:37,315 --> 00:43:41,965
of the show, I don't think
we have all of the numbers.
:
00:43:42,010 --> 00:43:43,030
Laura: can't Google that.
:
00:43:43,165 --> 00:43:44,125
Xhafer: You can't Google.
:
00:43:44,125 --> 00:43:45,415
No, you can't Google that.
:
00:43:46,285 --> 00:43:47,305
No, no, no.
:
00:43:47,305 --> 00:43:48,715
Googling that aloud.
:
00:43:48,865 --> 00:43:52,022
Um, I'll check real quick here.
:
00:43:54,244 --> 00:43:54,754
Ban is two.
:
00:43:54,754 --> 00:43:55,534
She is three.
:
00:43:56,089 --> 00:43:56,119
Laura: Okay.
:
00:43:57,214 --> 00:43:59,284
Xhafer: Caval is one, ban is two.
:
00:43:59,344 --> 00:44:00,334
She's three.
:
00:44:00,856 --> 00:44:02,176
Simon is four.
:
00:44:02,926 --> 00:44:04,216
Dora is five.
:
00:44:04,981 --> 00:44:05,971
Laura: Oh, dole's five.
:
00:44:06,001 --> 00:44:06,421
Okay.
:
00:44:07,486 --> 00:44:08,686
Xhafer: Six is six.
:
00:44:09,581 --> 00:44:10,511
Sharon is eight.
:
00:44:11,696 --> 00:44:12,446
Laura: So we don't know.
:
00:44:12,446 --> 00:44:13,406
Number seven.
:
00:44:13,886 --> 00:44:14,996
Wow.
:
00:44:15,866 --> 00:44:17,186
Interesting.
:
00:44:18,372 --> 00:44:18,612
Yeah.
:
00:44:19,842 --> 00:44:20,292
Okay.
:
00:44:21,435 --> 00:44:21,705
Yeah.
:
00:44:21,705 --> 00:44:26,685
How fitting that Deanna's storyline
should end with a lousy three?
:
00:44:30,414 --> 00:44:36,714
I just, it, it kept, you know, there
was that endless piano looping.
:
00:44:36,954 --> 00:44:39,084
There was Deanna in her white dresses.
:
00:44:39,084 --> 00:44:40,614
It felt very dramatic.
:
00:44:40,614 --> 00:44:44,094
It felt like it was going to be something,
and then it just kind of went buzz.
:
00:44:45,232 --> 00:44:45,562
Xhafer: Yeah,
:
00:44:46,807 --> 00:44:49,147
Laura: Well, we rated it.
:
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:50,107
I guess we
:
00:44:50,107 --> 00:44:52,267
could look at what we're
gonna watch next time.
:
00:44:52,702 --> 00:44:54,862
Xhafer: We got season three, episode 13.
:
00:44:55,072 --> 00:44:58,792
Taking a break from all your worries.
:
00:44:58,792 --> 00:45:01,162
I don't know why I did it like that.
:
00:45:02,032 --> 00:45:03,402
Laura: It's such a long title.
:
00:45:04,837 --> 00:45:10,837
Xhafer: I will say that I I edited the
shit outta this episode description.
:
00:45:11,857 --> 00:45:12,307
Laura: Yeah,
:
00:45:12,937 --> 00:45:15,817
Xhafer: Now you've already watched
it, so I probably didn't need to, but,
:
00:45:16,387 --> 00:45:16,747
uh,
:
00:45:16,867 --> 00:45:17,407
Laura: okay.
:
00:45:17,867 --> 00:45:19,367
Xhafer: Baltar faces charges of treason
:
00:45:21,287 --> 00:45:21,887
Laura: Sure.
:
00:45:21,947 --> 00:45:22,457
Yeah.
:
00:45:23,327 --> 00:45:24,017
Xhafer: Apollo.
:
00:45:24,287 --> 00:45:24,617
Yeah.
:
00:45:24,767 --> 00:45:28,157
Apollo shows Tiro the
new bar aboard Galactica,
:
00:45:29,117 --> 00:45:31,037
Laura: Oh, we're gonna get a quarks.
:
00:45:31,637 --> 00:45:33,257
Xhafer: directed by Eddie Olmos.
:
00:45:33,887 --> 00:45:36,107
Laura: Hey, cool.
:
00:45:37,277 --> 00:45:38,117
Xhafer: that's fun.
:
00:45:38,927 --> 00:45:39,677
Laura: Yeah.
:
00:45:40,502 --> 00:45:41,402
Weird title though.
:
00:45:41,492 --> 00:45:42,122
Very long.
:
00:45:42,302 --> 00:45:42,602
Xhafer: Yeah.
:
00:45:43,482 --> 00:45:45,012
But, uh, that's, that's that.
:
00:45:46,872 --> 00:45:46,992
Laura: All
:
00:45:46,992 --> 00:45:47,592
Xhafer: So, uh.
:
00:45:48,103 --> 00:45:50,474
I guess we should uh,
probably say thank you.
:
00:45:51,009 --> 00:45:51,299
Laura: Yeah.
:
00:45:51,404 --> 00:45:52,274
We should say thank some
:
00:45:52,484 --> 00:45:52,994
Xhafer: but, uh,
:
00:45:53,044 --> 00:45:54,454
Listener, thank you.
:
00:45:54,694 --> 00:45:58,414
I know we say, we, we usually
say thank you, last to you.
:
00:45:58,564 --> 00:45:59,794
Um, but I don't know.
:
00:45:59,794 --> 00:46:02,824
I'm feeling a little reflective
at the start of the year.
:
00:46:03,481 --> 00:46:04,141
Laura: As one does.
:
00:46:04,486 --> 00:46:08,296
Xhafer: I don't really feel, I'm not
a New Year's resolutions type guy.
:
00:46:09,016 --> 00:46:12,526
I tend to decide that if I wanna do
something, I should probably start doing
:
00:46:12,526 --> 00:46:17,566
it when I decide to start doing it and not
wait for an arbitrary date or something.
:
00:46:18,556 --> 00:46:21,496
So unless there's a contest
involved in which it benefits
:
00:46:21,496 --> 00:46:22,826
me to wait for some reason.
:
00:46:23,306 --> 00:46:26,266
But uh, you know, i've I've just
been thinking about the podcast
:
00:46:26,416 --> 00:46:32,026
and, um, the, the joy that this
community brings into my life.
:
00:46:32,146 --> 00:46:37,156
Both my friendship with you, Laura, and
then also with everyone in the discord
:
00:46:37,186 --> 00:46:38,686
and the good times that we have there.
:
00:46:39,196 --> 00:46:40,756
And I'm just really appreciative of it.
:
00:46:40,996 --> 00:46:42,213
And uh, yeah.
:
00:46:42,213 --> 00:46:47,893
So, thanks everyone for getting in that
discord and hanging out and being one
:
00:46:47,893 --> 00:46:49,273
of my favorite places on the internet.
:
00:46:49,363 --> 00:46:49,693
Really
:
00:46:49,933 --> 00:46:54,883
Laura: Yeah, you know, I feel the same
just like this time of year when it's
:
00:46:54,883 --> 00:47:01,228
dark all the time and maybe it's cold
where you're at, not where I'm at, and
:
00:47:01,363 --> 00:47:04,933
you don't want to go outside and you
just kind of think about some stuff.
:
00:47:05,233 --> 00:47:08,833
I've been really grateful,
really grateful to have this
:
00:47:08,833 --> 00:47:10,723
podcast and everybody around It
:
00:47:11,353 --> 00:47:11,893
Xhafer: Yeah.
:
00:47:12,133 --> 00:47:12,583
Laura: me sane,
:
00:47:13,423 --> 00:47:13,933
Xhafer: Yeah.
:
00:47:14,113 --> 00:47:16,063
Even if we did have to
watch that Hallmark movie,
:
00:47:18,118 --> 00:47:20,968
Laura: I am still in the camp
that it wasn't that bad, and I
:
00:47:20,968 --> 00:47:23,278
think all the listeners should
go listen to that episode.
:
00:47:23,788 --> 00:47:24,838
Xhafer: It was not that bad.
:
00:47:25,168 --> 00:47:27,838
Um, it definitely could
have been a lot worse,
:
00:47:28,258 --> 00:47:29,038
Laura: Definitely.
:
00:47:29,968 --> 00:47:31,708
Xhafer: but it was not
built more Christmas Good.
:
00:47:32,428 --> 00:47:32,698
Laura: Yeah.
:
00:47:33,238 --> 00:47:36,388
But that means the listener
should listen to us talk about
:
00:47:36,388 --> 00:47:37,858
it rather than go through it.
:
00:47:38,488 --> 00:47:39,538
Xhafer: Yeah, for sure.
:
00:47:40,151 --> 00:47:42,886
Speaking of you know, we
we're thankful Jeremy Siegel.
:
00:47:43,456 --> 00:47:47,716
I drove past your house two weeks ago and
I didn't stop to say hi mostly 'cause, you
:
00:47:47,716 --> 00:47:52,666
know, I had my mom and sister in tow and
that would've been a really tough explain.
:
00:47:56,446 --> 00:47:56,776
But yeah.
:
00:47:56,776 --> 00:47:57,766
Thanks so much for our theme music.
:
00:47:57,976 --> 00:47:58,936
Really appreciate it.
:
00:47:58,936 --> 00:47:59,896
Really appreciate you.
:
00:47:59,896 --> 00:48:01,546
I hope you have a great new year as well.
:
00:48:01,833 --> 00:48:02,283
Laura: yeah.
:
00:48:02,373 --> 00:48:06,093
And thanks to Angry Duck time machine
on Instagram for the podcast artwork.
:
00:48:06,783 --> 00:48:09,543
Xhafer: Aaron, thanks so much for
editing this podcast and all the work
:
00:48:09,543 --> 00:48:12,633
you do in creating the soundscapes.
:
00:48:13,668 --> 00:48:15,528
