7

One hour earlier

8

well now that was depressing:

Hello, and welcome to Last Time On.

9

This is a podcast for people who

wanna watch all this prestige

10

television, but who's got time for it?

11

TheMotionVictor: What time is it anyway?

12

Uh,

13

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

This isn't the time to talk about time.

14

We don't

15

well now that was depressing:

I don't have the time.

16

I'm fair

17

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I'm Ben

18

TheMotionVictor: I'm Victor and you're

listening to the only podcast that,

19

uh, records in chronological order

20

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

It's a pain in the ass for

21

everyone else, but we call dibs.

22

Uh,

23

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

24

Yeah, this, uh, this episode, uh, today

that we're watching, uh, which is, uh,

25

Attack on Titan, season four, episode 10.

26

Did I get that right?

27

well now that was depressing: Yeah.

28

Chapter 69,

29

TheMotionVictor: nice.

30

well now that was depressing:

A Sound Argument

31

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I think Victor got his points for this one

32

TheMotionVictor: oh,

the flash for- uh, yeah.

33

I, 'cause the flash forward and

the flash backward, I couldn't, I

34

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I don't…

35

TheMotionVictor: of

where we were flashing to

36

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

It's

37

well now that was depressing: I, I

had a hard time making notes because

38

I know when these things are happening

and taking place because I have

39

the context of the greater story.

40

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

41

Uh,

42

well now that was depressing: I might

not say a whole lot this episode.

43

It's not because I didn't take notes.

44

I got three pages of notes.

45

It's because I don't wanna

say something I shouldn't.

46

TheMotionVictor: Ah, that

sounds like me on a date.

47

I do the same thing.

48

well now that was depressing: Yeah

49

TheMotionVictor: dude, seriously,

you could have just had fucking…

50

All, all this episode needed was Tom

Hardy flying around in a, in a Spitfire,

51

I would have thought we were watching

Dunkirk 'cause, 'cause of all the

52

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I had such a hard time watching Dunkirk

53

because I knew there was a One Direction

in it, but I don't know who it is.

54

And I was just like, "Is

that the One Direction?

55

TheMotionVictor: There was a

56

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Is that the One Direction?

57

No, that's, that's

58

well now that was depressing:

No, no, he just turned left.

59

That can't be a One Direction

because I saw him turn right earlier.

60

TheMotionVictor: Womp,

61

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

yes

62

well now that was depressing:

that was not good

63

TheMotionVictor: What is up with

that, that, uh, strange short period

64

in history when World War II movies

j- had to feature a boy band member?

65

Because, uh, w- uh, what was it?

66

Uh, Midway.

67

Midway had a Jonas

Brother in it, didn't it?

68

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yes, it did.

69

But that, he did a pretty good job.

70

Um, and then, you know, when, uh…

71

I'm trying to think of who

would be in the right time.

72

Uh, Nick Lachey was in

Saving Private Ryan.

73

Uh,

74

well now that was depressing: Was he?

75

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

No.

76

well now that was depressing: Oh,

77

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I'm

78

well now that was depressing: okay.

79

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

of who was,

80

well now that was depressing:

I was just like,

81

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

in the early '90s

82

well now that was depressing:

like I haven't seen "Safe at

83

Private Riot" in a long time.

84

Can't do that to me.

85

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

86

well now that was depressing: Oh, yeah.

87

So we open this episode with Eren

in jail and Hange just straight

88

mocking him for two minutes.

89

TheMotionVictor: was pretty hilarious.

90

I

91

well now that was depressing: A+.

92

TheMotionVictor: Hange's got a

lot more personality than the

93

last time we saw them, I feel

94

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

More personality than eyes now

95

well now that was depressing: Yes

96

TheMotionVictor: Yeah,

Hange got more talked.

97

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

98

Well, uh, but the, the tough thing of

eye patch plus glasses where it's just

99

like, "Oh, dang, that is, that is a hat

on a hat for the face and it sucks."

100

TheMotionVictor: a half of the face.

101

Yeah, you

102

well now that was depressing: like

darken out the, the glass, right?

103

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah

104

TheMotionVictor: Well, I imagine

105

well now that was depressing: But

106

TheMotionVictor: a m- or, or you could

just wear a monocle, but I imagine

107

that's not comfortable to do all the

108

well now that was depressing: I

don't know how monocles stay on good.

109

I don't think they do.

110

I know that there's like

the thing with the rim.

111

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

like

112

well now that was depressing: Yeah

113

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

be

114

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, you have to

115

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

That's why you just use it for reading.

116

You don't walk around with it.

117

Um, but yeah, he's talking about you fight

and fight and fight and fight and fight.

118

TheMotionVictor: The Hanji and Eren show.

119

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

But, uh, I wanna, I wanna know wh-

120

why is, why is Aaron in prison?

121

Let's get weird with it

122

Let's get

123

TheMotionVictor: Oh, I have

the perfect answer to this.

124

Uh, I think he is literally in horny jail.

125

There is a, uh, there's b- there's

a new rule there in, in New Trost or

126

whatever fucking city we're in now,

127

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Parodies

128

TheMotionVictor: there is no, no

displaying of horniness in public.

129

And, uh, and, and the, the female

Titan showed back up randomly,

130

and Eren couldn't help himself.

131

He did that, that anime thing

that anime characters do

132

well now that was depressing:

The nosebleed

133

TheMotionVictor: Yep, he had

a nosebleed, and his eyes

134

crossed, and he started to hey.

135

And, and they were, and they

were like, "Straight to jail.

136

Right to jail, right away."

137

well now that was depressing:

He couldn't help it.

138

He's an anime protagonist.

139

It's just how he was born

140

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

So that's actually something

141

I've run into where I'm watching

Dragon Ball Z with, uh, Henry.

142

TheMotionVictor: Nerd.

143

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And part of me was like, "Oh,

144

TheMotionVictor: so that's an

145

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

yeah,

146

TheMotionVictor: Okay.

147

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

go back and watch Dragon Ball.

148

Oh,

149

well now that was depressing: Ohp.

150

Oh no.

151

Oh no

152

TheMotionVictor: Oh no.

153

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

a lot of, like, Master

154

Roshi being a perv on

155

well now that was depressing:

over Bulma's panties.

156

Yeah.

157

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah,

158

well now that was depressing: Dra- I would

not go back and watch Dragon Ball, man.

159

TheMotionVictor: Oh my

160

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

At one point, Goku has to fight

161

an invisible person, and they're

like, "I know what we'll do.

162

We'll make Master Roshi horny, and

he'll have a nosebleed so bad it

163

covers the invisible dude in blood

so Goku can see him to fight him."

164

Um, and it's just like, I don't

wanna have those conversations

165

with my seven-year-old, so

166

well now that was depressing: Yeah

167

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

stick with Dragon Ball Z and

168

G- Goku a marshmallow monster

169

well now that was depressing: think,

like, Dragon Ball is like kid Goku.

170

It feels like it would be more

of a kid show than Dragon Ball Z.

171

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Is

172

well now that was depressing: It's not.

173

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

174

Hey, man, that's embarrassing 'cause I

ha- I got a lot of nosebleeds as a kid.

175

It was due to allergies.

176

But I'm glad this

177

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Hmm, hmm.

178

TheMotionVictor: exist back then, or at

least not in the Western world, in the

179

little podunk town I grew up in, uh,

which I just happen to be living in now.

180

Ah, the circle of life.

181

um

182

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I will say for why is, uh, Eren

183

in prison, uh, he started just

living Titan life the full time.

184

It's indecent exposure.

185

He was walking around without pants

186

TheMotionVictor: Oh, no.

187

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

he was just like walking around

188

not thinking about it, they're

like, "Jaeger, you're poo bearing."

189

And he's like, "Wait.

190

Oh, no, I'm not in titan form.

191

Oh, man."

192

Uh,

193

TheMotionVictor: Pooberry.

194

Nice.

195

Oh, man

196

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

But they slightly mispronounce

197

it because it's Attack on Titan

198

well now that was depressing: Yeah.

199

They're not bears, they're burrs

200

Burst, burst, burst, swag.

201

Burst, burst, burst, swag.

202

TheMotionVictor: Birds, poo birds.

203

Paw bird.

204

Uh, well, we find out during this

rant that apparently Historia

205

has been sacrificed, and then

we cut to the intro music.

206

I'm still not loving the intro music,

but I did pay attention to the opening

207

because of what Jafar said last time,

and, uh, here, here, here's my notes on

208

what I noticed in the opening credits.

209

Um,

210

well now that was depressing: Okay

211

TheMotionVictor: we have

gay rocket launchers.

212

well now that was depressing: Yep

213

TheMotionVictor: we

214

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

rocket launchers

215

TheMotionVictor: have dead

birds falling from the sky.

216

Uh, they're falling through, um, sparkly

217

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

important, Victor, 'cause who

218

are the scouts for the bad guys?

219

TheMotionVictor: 'cause yeah, we all know

220

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Birds.

221

TheMotionVictor: birds aren't real.

222

well now that was depressing: Yeah.

223

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

they are real.

224

They just, the

225

well now that was depressing:

They're spies

226

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

this.

227

That's my first prediction

watching this show

228

TheMotionVictor: Oh, you're right.

229

The, yeah, the birds are, are

the masterminds of everything.

230

Uh, and are they the ones that

turned everything rainbow color?

231

Like, uh, ev- all the people, uh, it

looks like ev- everyone, any, any living

232

creature actually, had their color

stripped from them, but everything

233

else is sparkly rainbow colors.

234

Um, not even the North

Korean-looking soldiers are,

235

They don't have any color either.

236

They're just, just plain black and white.

237

we have some, um, some gay

atomic bombs going off.

238

well now that was depressing:

There we are.

239

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

240

well now that was depressing: That was

the, the mushroom clouds was the big

241

thing I wanted you to get out of that.

242

Yeah.

243

TheMotionVictor: The, the, the,

the gay A-bombs, the gay bombs.

244

They're just boom, and

sparklies everywhere.

245

hmm.

246

well now that was depressing: Hmm.

247

TheMotionVictor: Okay

248

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

if that would've worked in the,

249

like the '50s, where it's just

like, "How, how are we going to try

250

and make for nuclear disarmament?

251

if we say owning nukes is gay?"

252

Oh, man.

253

TheMotionVictor: Oh, yeah.

254

Well, I don't, I don't know.

255

I think, uh, there was no other

homophobic, uh, nation more

256

homophobic than the US at the time.

257

I mean, o-

258

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I know, that's what I'm saying

259

TheMotionVictor: Russia.

260

well now that was depressing: Russ-

261

TheMotionVictor: yeah,

262

well now that was depressing: for sure

263

TheMotionVictor: Russia

264

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I'm just saying, like, that

265

would've made the US and the

USSR get rid of their nukes.

266

It's just like, "Nuh-uh, I like ladies.

267

Take my nukes."

268

TheMotionVictor: I'm not gay.

269

You're gay.

270

Here, have my nukes.

271

Yeah.

272

Um, then we get a flashback

to two years ago, um

273

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And this is annoying because we jump

274

back and forth throughout the rest of

this episode without, like, even getting

275

a, like, sepia tone filter or anything.

276

And so, like, you kinda gotta go based

on haircuts and what people are wearing

277

TheMotionVictor: Which

is really hard for me.

278

I can't even tell the

difference between freaking…

279

I, I don't know who's who.

280

got face, anime face blindness.

281

well now that was depressing: I,

282

TheMotionVictor: Excuse me.

283

well now that was depressing:

the animation studio has changed

284

TheMotionVictor: Oh, wow, that's

285

well now that was depressing: from

the last time we saw these characters.

286

At the start of season four,

we got a new animation studio

287

TheMotionVictor: so that's why

the Funimation thing was at the

288

beginning when I started this episode.

289

well now that was depressing:

So it, it did, there is some

290

stuff in regards to the, like,

overall change of the art style.

291

That is not you being bad at anime faces.

292

Uh, it is-- No, these, the characters

are drawn slightly differently in

293

addition to, uh, some time having clearly

passed, 'cause we go back two years

294

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Did, was there a reason they changed

295

studios or just, "Hey, we found

some people to work on it cheaper"?

296

well now that was depressing: I

think the other studio couldn't

297

produce at the speed that they

were trying to get the show out at.

298

TheMotionVictor: see, I'm, I

299

well now that was depressing:

They might have gone under.

300

The other studio might have gone under

301

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

know anime studios, the artists

302

are like overworked and underpaid.

303

well now that was depressing: Yeah

304

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

so I wouldn't be surprised.

305

"Hey, we've already been making

you work 75 hours a week.

306

Make more."

307

And they're like, "I

physically can't, dude.

308

My hand permanently cramped up like this."

309

TheMotionVictor: I, I forgot to mention

this last episode, but I, I had a theory

310

I've got a theory that it's

a demon, a dancing demon.

311

No, something isn't right there.

312

TheMotionVictor: That, uh, that last

time on, uh, this Attack on Titan

313

had the, the Babylon 5 treatment to

where they originally planned it to e-

314

end it after three seasons, but then

were all just like, "You know what?

315

We want a fourth, fourth season.

316

Let's drag this shit out somehow.

317

Uh, what are we gonna do?

318

I don't know.

319

Jump the shark.

320

Bring in the shark.

321

We gotta jump it."

322

So, and that's why we suddenly went

to steampunk World War I with kaiju.

323

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I'd buy that movie.

324

Like, as an elevator pitch

I'd be like, "Yeah, okay

325

TheMotionVictor: Steampunk

World War I with Kaiju?

326

Fucking sold.

327

I would, I would watch

328

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I mean, that was kind of the first

329

Wonder Woman movie, only she's the kaiju.

330

TheMotionVictor: Oh, damn.

331

well now that was depressing:

You're not wrong

332

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I'm not.

333

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, you're right.

334

Uh

335

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

so we have an auspicious day

336

where that only girl who's still

talking to us, uh, has shown up.

337

It is, uh, you know, the, the

birthday party with one friend, and

338

it's Hiruzu, the only people who

trade with parady- or, uh, it's…

339

How do they pronounce paradise?

340

It's Paradies?

341

Yeah.

342

TheMotionVictor: that's right.

343

we

344

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And

345

TheMotionVictor: I, I just

346

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

yeah

347

TheMotionVictor: the factions here.

348

We obviously have the Titan-fighting

Scout Corps or, uh, in, in the,

349

because they're wearing their jackets,

350

well now that was depressing: Yeah

351

TheMotionVictor: we have the suits

352

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And those are the Hi- Hiruzu people?

353

TheMotionVictor: are the Herozy people?

354

I thought the

355

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah

356

TheMotionVictor: people

were coming on the boat.

357

Or are they both?

358

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

they got off the boat and this is the

359

TheMotionVictor: another boat with

their, uh, ambassador or whoever

360

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

The ambassador hasn't come off yet

361

TheMotionVictor: that makes…

362

Thank you for explaining

363

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

But we know that Aaron saved the boat

364

TheMotionVictor: Okay.

365

Aaron saved the boat

366

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Um, and we also find out another

367

interesting piece of information that

I don't think we had, had revealed yet.

368

Uh, Zeke, the Beard Titan, the Abe

Lincoln Titan, is Eren's brother

369

TheMotionVictor: it's his brother?

370

Oh, I had in my

371

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Zeke Yeager

372

TheMotionVictor: Oh gosh, I'm s-

373

well now that was depressing:

It is, it is Zeke Yeager.

374

I don't think they say

brother in this episode.

375

Do, do they…

376

Okay.

377

Okay.

378

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Mm-hmm

379

well now that was depressing:

That, that is correct.

380

Okay.

381

TheMotionVictor: missed it

382

well now that was depressing:

I missed that

383

TheMotionVictor: I thought Zeke

was Eren's long-lost father

384

who somehow changed appearance.

385

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Nope

386

TheMotionVictor: Oh,

387

well now that was depressing: Dyed

his hair blonde and became younger

388

TheMotionVictor: Yeah,

389

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And he's, he's,

390

TheMotionVictor: on the run, so

391

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

he's doing his own thing.

392

He has his own machinations,

his own, his own plots.

393

And I'm sure at several times he's

been like, "Hey Eren, with me and

394

I will explain the plots to you."

395

And Eren's like,

396

TheMotionVictor: I can't do it.

397

Ah.

398

well now that was depressing: So

399

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

gives Hiruzu the ODM gear and we

400

s- of it being like, "Hey, these

things run on compressed air,"

401

they're like, "No, bullshit time.

402

Ice burst stone."

403

TheMotionVictor: Yeah,

404

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Well, what's the tank for then?

405

well now that was depressing: Well, you

have to liquefy the ice burst stone.

406

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

407

Liquefy the rocks.

408

That

409

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

sounds like something from

410

like a gum commercial.

411

Like, "We've liquified the

Ice Burst crystals and now

412

it gives more minty flavor."

413

TheMotionVictor: was it, uh, what is that?

414

Was it Catch 5 Gum?

415

5,

416

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

It's just five.

417

TheMotionVictor: Is it just 5 Gum?

418

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah

419

TheMotionVictor: God, man, my memory.

420

It's,

421

well now that was depressing:

Yeah, 'cause it's Take 5.

422

TheMotionVictor: that's

right, Take 5, okay, yeah,

423

well now that was depressing:

But Take 5 is a candy bar

424

TheMotionVictor: What?

425

Not…

426

Damn it, I'm so confused.

427

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Take Five is a song by Dave Brubeck

428

TheMotionVictor: Oh, okay, so,

uh, Mikasa has a magic tattoo,

429

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yes.

430

TheMotionVictor: and-

431

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

also a secret anime princess.

432

I've got the shoes, I've got the

dress that makes me a princess.

433

I get-

434

TheMotionVictor: It's,

435

well now that was depressing: She is a se-

436

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

princesses

437

well now that was depressing:

is a secret anime princess, yes.

438

TheMotionVictor: Uh, it's strange that

this vaguely Asian ambassador lady,

439

uh, she, she comes in and the whole

purpose of this meeting is, "Have

440

you seen anyone with this tattoo?"

441

well now that was depressing: N- not, no.

442

That's not what happens.

443

That's not how it goes down

444

TheMotionVictor: t- well, hey,

well, don't l- don't, don't tell me.

445

well now that was depressing:

Well, it's in the episode.

446

It's not what happens in the episode.

447

They pull out a flag and Mikasa's

all like, "That's weird that that

448

flag matches my secret tattoo."

449

TheMotionVictor: But in my, okay, when

I was watching, she literally said,

450

"Have you seen this symbol before?"

451

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Because she showed off the flag.

452

well now that was depressing: Yeah

453

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

she's kind of like h- soft hoping,

454

we left a p- prince here once."

455

TheMotionVictor: princess here somewhere.

456

Has anyone seen our secret anime princess?

457

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I wanna know what it was like on

458

the boat, where it's like, it's not,

"Did we leave the, the oven on?"

459

It's not, "Hey, did you remember the

passports on the way to the airport?"

460

It's, "Wait a minute,

did we forget a prince?

461

shit."

462

Uh, but we

463

well now that was depressing:

But this is why.

464

This is so…

465

I don't know if you remember me

pointing out in the very first

466

episode that it was weird that

Mikasa was the only Asian around

467

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Mm-hmm.

468

You did, yep

469

well now that was depressing: This is why

470

TheMotionVictor: Fascinating

471

well now that was depressing:

think we'd hit this episode.

472

That's fun.

473

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Uh, we also, uh, find out that, uh,

474

the Titans are lactose intolerant

475

TheMotionVictor: Oh, the rumbling.

476

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

because they're dealing with the rumbling.

477

well now that was depressing: Yes.

478

They s-

479

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Victor, what do you think the rumbling is?

480

TheMotionVictor: Uh, pff, I, I

can't come up with a better, a

481

better idea than what you just said.

482

well now that was depressing: Okay, so

483

TheMotionVictor: the, the, y-

484

it's the ominous earthquake, uh, feeling

that, uh, comes before titan flatulence.

485

That has

486

well now that was depressing: Do,

do you guys actually not know?

487

Because I felt like they said it

pretty directly in this episode

488

and I was like, "Oh, you guys

finally found out this thing."

489

But if you guys still missed it,

490

TheMotionVictor: didn't

491

well now that was depressing:

need to know.

492

TheMotionVictor: I, I

493

well now that was depressing:

Do you not…

494

Do you, Ben, do you know what

the rumbling actually is?

495

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Um

496

well now that was depressing:

They tell you directly in this

497

episode what the rumbling is.

498

They say it like, "Oh, well, we'll

just start the rumbling by blank."

499

TheMotionVictor: Releasing the Titans?

500

well now that was depressing: You're

missing about three words there, Victor

501

TheMotionVictor: Letting

the Titans outside the wall?

502

I

503

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

it,

504

well now that was depressing: Okay.

505

Okay.

506

No, if you guys don't know, I just,

507

TheMotionVictor: All

508

well now that was depressing: I

need to know to not say things

509

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

not, it did not explain it as

510

well as you think it did, Jafe

511

TheMotionVictor: Yeah

512

well now that was depressing:

think it did.

513

I think that it's the…

514

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

the surrounding context

515

TheMotionVictor: Hey, is it…

516

Okay, tell me if I'm right.

517

Is it like the tradition in Spain where

they have the running of the bulls,

518

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

No

519

TheMotionVictor: where they just

release the Titans and they…

520

I'm asking Jafare.

521

He's the, he's the gatekeeper here.

522

But yeah, they, they, they let

the Titans go, and you know what?

523

They give them all silly hats, like silly

pointed party hats, and then they, they

524

well now that was depressing:

This is not a silly hat society.

525

We haven't seen one damn silly hat

526

TheMotionVictor: Oh, it's true.

527

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

That's, that's sad.

528

TheMotionVictor: Yeah

529

well now that was depressing: sad.

530

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Uh, no, this is,

531

well now that was depressing:

Especially for Germans.

532

Germans love their silly fucking hats.

533

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

No, this is

534

TheMotionVictor: of Silly Hats

535

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

very clearly titans.

536

Uh, and they're trying to be like,

"Oh, hey, if we have more technology,

537

we don't need to, to do nuke titans

538

well now that was depressing: Okay, cool.

539

That's where we're at.

540

I'll, I will adjust my notes accordingly

541

TheMotionVictor: Okay

542

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

but we find out that these, uh,

543

the, the Eldian, uh, society is

100 years behind technologically.

544

TheMotionVictor: Yeah

545

well now that was depressing:

Hisru's gonna help.

546

Maybe

547

TheMotionVictor: They're

gonna bring them fax machines

548

well now that was depressing: Fax

machine's actually pretty old, but yes

549

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

550

Uh, what was it?

551

Uh, Lincoln could have used a fax,

could have sent a fax to a samurai

552

TheMotionVictor: Uh, so they're talking

about the plan here, and it, um, it,

553

it involves, uh, sacrificing some

people to Titans to create Titans, and

554

when they become a Titan, they only

have 13 years left to live, so they

555

say have as many children as possible.

556

I am so fucking lost.

557

I don't know

558

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Well, and now I'm mad because now

559

I know it hasn't been 25 years,

560

TheMotionVictor: So

561

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

because we get a couple of points of

562

reference, for how long it has been.

563

And so

564

well now that was depressing: Yes

565

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

uh, when you become a Titan,

566

you have 13 years until you die.

567

Eren was made a Titan.

568

We jumped forward, uh

569

well now that was depressing:

Well, you jumped back.

570

You jumped forward and back

571

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Well,

572

well now that was depressing:

in this episode.

573

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

the pilot.

574

well now that was depressing: Yes

575

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

We jumped forward.

576

Well, they got trained, and we know

in the two-year flashback, he says

577

he's got five years left, which means

there's three years left, which means

578

it's been 10 years since the pilot

579

TheMotionVictor: Seem,

580

well now that was depressing: Yep

581

TheMotionVictor: like a lot more

time has passed than that, but

582

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

It does.

583

TheMotionVictor: s- it's very strange.

584

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Uh, we also find out that even though

585

he doesn't have them with him, uh, Aaron

got really into little plastic minis

586

well now that was depressing: Oh

yeah, he's the Warhammer Titan.

587

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

He's the

588

well now that was depressing: I,

589

TheMotionVictor: He is

590

well now that was depressing: I,

591

TheMotionVictor: type

592

well now that was depressing:

I also make that exact joke.

593

Um, I say he's got the power

to make gray sprues that we'll

594

overcharge for and enrich Paradise.

595

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

596

TheMotionVictor: Right

597

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

yeah, he has the Warhammer Titan,

598

original Titan, the Founding Titan

599

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, he can have, you

can have multiple titans that you just…

600

Wow.

601

That's, that's

602

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

They're his

603

well now that was depressing:

Gotta catch 'em all

604

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Now, we went with different Japanese RPGs.

605

well now that was depressing: Yeah

606

TheMotionVictor: then we, we go

to a flash forward in our flash

607

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Well first, this is important

608

this is important for you, Victor,

because while Eren has canonically

609

been completely asexual and you're

trying to force this on him,

610

TheMotionVictor: Yeah

611

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

does grab Hange and be like, "You guys

612

are only holding me because I let you."

613

And she's just like, "Pervert!"

614

And it's just like, no, he's

just physically threatening you.

615

TheMotionVictor: Yeah,

that was, that was…

616

I was wondering if something

was lost in translation there.

617

But

618

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Probably.

619

TheMotionVictor: uh, but that does support

my theory of why he's in horny jail,

620

Joke's on you, man.

621

I love the brig.

622

I'm going to my favorite place.

623

Next time, I'm gonna

let somebody kill you.

624

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

625

I, that's why I wanted to bring it up.

626

It was, it was a piece of, uh,

627

TheMotionVictor: to

628

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

for you

629

well now that was depressing: Yep

630

TheMotionVictor: uh, fl- so, so now

we get our flash-forward from our

631

flashback, and Historia is Per- Peregante.

632

well now that was depressing: Yeah

633

TheMotionVictor: Per- Perganant

634

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And did you notice the patches

635

of the people who are around her?

636

TheMotionVictor: Oh, no, I did not

637

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

They're

638

well now that was depressing: I did.

639

The unicorns, yeah

640

TheMotionVictor: Fucking

unicorns are evil.

641

well now that was depressing: No, they're

just trying to find a third victor.

642

It's fine.

643

I- it's ill-advised, but it's fine.

644

TheMotionVictor: yeah,

645

well now that was depressing:

Everyone's consenting adults

646

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

647

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

As long as they don't run into a

648

lion, because then when, you know,

when that happens, the lion and the

649

unicorn, they're fighting for the crown

650

TheMotionVictor: I, uh, is that

a, is, is that a, a, a Lion,

651

Witch and the Wardrobe reference?

652

Wha-

653

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

it's the War of the Roses and

654

it's a British nursery rhyme.

655

TheMotionVictor: Weird.

656

Yeah, yeah, that was strange.

657

well now that was depressing: Yeah, I was,

658

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

not watched enough Little Baby

659

well now that was depressing: I

was talking about swinging and

660

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I know

661

well now that was depressing: stuff, but,

662

TheMotionVictor: Bible,

663

well now that was depressing: uh, okay.

664

Well, you know, we, we all

go to our different places.

665

TheMotionVictor: on, depending on what

translation you're reading, there are

666

mentions of unicorns in the Bible.

667

Uh, the, the theory…

668

There are many theories as to why this is.

669

Uh, o-one of them is that, uh, it's

a bad translations and the writer was

670

referring to a rhinoceros because it has

a monocorn, and it translated to unicorn.

671

Uh, personally, I subscribe to the belief

that, yes, there were in fact unicorns on

672

this planet and they were such assholes

that Noah was like, "No, get off my boat."

673

And that's why we don't

have unicorns today.

674

well now that was depressing:

I think I've seen that sketch

675

on a Do- on, uh, Robot Chicken.

676

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, might

677

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

The theory I've always, uh, purported

678

to is that, uh, it becomes from finding,

uh, narwhal horns on the, uh, the beach.

679

well now that was depressing: Hmm

680

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

somebody'd just be like, "Where

681

the hell did this thing come from?"

682

Having never seen a narwhal because

they live, you know, deep out.

683

well now that was depressing: Yeah

684

TheMotionVictor: Um

685

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

the, the unicorn patches guys, they're

686

like, "All right, uh, you know, should

we, uh, should we look for the AllSpark?"

687

"No, no, we're just gonna d- get

really drunk and bitch about our boss."

688

Well, it their boss or are they, are they,

uh, Historia's guard or Historia's, uh,

689

well now that was depressing: Keepers?

690

Yeah

691

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Do you think they have to follow her

692

around or they're keeping her here?

693

TheMotionVictor: Ooh, I think, I think

that the pretense is that they're her

694

guards, but they're keeping her there.

695

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

696

TheMotionVictor: is,

697

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

But we also find out that one of

698

them who's this drunk guy called

Rogue or Roig, I don't know.

699

Probably, he probably doesn't matter

700

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, this is where

they're drinking wine at the table

701

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

702

He's, he is now pushing

around a Marleyan, uh, uh,

703

TheMotionVictor: yeah

704

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

So things have changed.

705

So the Eldians are no longer

subservient to the, the Marleyans

706

In- just interesting

707

TheMotionVictor: Hmm.

708

Yeah, uh,

709

well now that was depressing: Huh?

710

TheMotionVictor: th- I was thinking

that, uh, servant goes to, the butler

711

goes to fetch some more wine, and it

seems like we're back in Downton Abbey

712

all of a sudden for a hot second.

713

And they're in the, the wine cellar

there, and he's like, "No, no, no.

714

Give him this wine."

715

Ominous music.

716

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

717

well now that was depressing: Mm-hmm.

718

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

This guy's real Thomason around down there

719

well now that was depressing: For sure.

720

Uh, we cut over to another flash

721

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Eren, you can't use a, a

722

Titan to smash the end tail.

723

It's more philosophical."

724

And he's just smashing a piece of paper.

725

well now that was depressing: Uh,

we cut to another flashback here.

726

We have Eren, Connie, Armin, Sasha,

and Jean building a railroad.

727

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

They've been working

728

well now that was depressing: They--

729

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

all

730

well now that was depressing:

Because there's no fighting to do.

731

TheMotionVictor: So

732

well now that was depressing:

They say there's no fighting,

733

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

day

734

well now that was depressing:

build a railroad to get exercise

735

TheMotionVictor: I, I know I'm probably

wrong here, but th- this is what I

736

well now that was depressing:

Please be wrong

737

TheMotionVictor: Uh, that they're,

that the, they're out here building

738

this railroad they need to take

a train somewhere, but there's

739

no railroad going there yet.

740

So they go out, they build the

railroad, and then they go back

741

to the train station to take a

train to the place they just built.

742

well now that was depressing:

Um, I mean, how you would build

743

these trains is you would have the

744

TheMotionVictor: I know

how trains are built.

745

I've watched Hell on Wheels.

746

I know how they build railroads so,

747

well now that was depressing: Okay

748

TheMotionVictor: yeah, I was just

making a joke that they're like, "Okay,

749

hey, we gotta go somewhere, let's

750

well now that was depressing:

Walk all the way back.

751

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Have you seen Hell on Wheels, Mr.

752

Bohannan?

753

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, that's,

uh, Captain Pike's backstory.

754

Uh

755

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And, uh, uh, Chief O'Brien's future

756

This, this is fucking spectacular.

757

well now that was depressing: Mm-hmm.

758

TheMotionVictor: Yes.

759

Where he is quite literally the

chief engineer in that show.

760

That's a fact that I feel like

doesn't get brought up enough, so

761

well now that was depressing: Uh

762

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

but they talk about how they are the

763

international villains and pariahs.

764

well now that was depressing: Yeah.

765

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

bitching

766

well now that was depressing:

The world's bad guy

767

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

them, and it's just like, are you guys

768

like the North Korea of the world?

769

Where it's just like, "Why does no

one understand us and accept us?"

770

It's like, 'cause you guys

kinda seem like a-holes

771

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

772

Uh, we get a lot of scheming

and machinations in the

773

back of this train car.

774

Um

775

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

talking about who should become

776

the, the next, uh, Eren Titan

777

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, and they're just

778

well now that was depressing: It's

779

TheMotionVictor: him like he's not

780

well now that was depressing:

the Attack Titan is the name of

781

Eren's Titan, if it has to come up.

782

That's th- the, it's the

namesake of the show.

783

TheMotionVictor: Oh God.

784

well now that was depressing: Yeah.

785

I just really needed you guys

to just marinate in that one for

786

a minute because it's terrible.

787

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

It's all, ugh.

788

Yeah, so, uh, but it's funny 'cause they

go around and it's just like, I'm smart

789

sh- so I should be the, the new Titan."

790

And they're like, man, 'cause

you're smart and so we shouldn't

791

put a shelf life on you."

792

"Well, I'm dumb, so I

should be the, the Titan."

793

"No, you're too dumb to be the Titan."

794

"Well then,

795

TheMotionVictor: get

796

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I should be it."

797

It's like, "You're dumber than him."

798

TheMotionVictor: some shade being

thrown in the back of this train car.

799

Like

800

well now that was depressing: Yeah.

801

Mikasa's all like, "I'll do it."

802

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

tell Connie that he, you're too

803

dumb to be the, the, the Titan.

804

He's just like, "Huh?"

805

well now that was depressing:

Yeah, they just stare at each other

806

when Sasha and Connie are both

like, "Well, you're too dumb."

807

TheMotionVictor: Mm-hmm.

808

Um, and that's actually-- I thought

I had more notes than this, but my

809

notes end with saying Hanji shows

up and, uh, w- suddenly we've got

810

trade regulations sparking a war.

811

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Well, so we, we get a

812

few more in things where,

813

well now that was depressing: Yeah

814

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Eren very, very sweetly is just

815

like, "Hey, n- I'm not letting

any of you become the Titan

816

well now that was depressing: Yeah

817

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

you guys matter to me."

818

well now that was depressing: You

need to live longer than 13 years

819

TheMotionVictor: the friends

that we made along the way

820

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Although we find out very shortly,

821

not all of them, some of them

would have liked another 13 years.

822

Uh, but, uh, Gene being a real

dick is just like, "Hey, Aaron,

823

why are you turning red?"

824

And it's like, 'cause he's blushing

because he expressed an emotion

825

for the first time in his life.

826

And, uh, Armin helps his buddy out and

he's just like, "No, he's just turning

827

red because he understands the, the,

uh, the plight of the proletariat."

828

Uh,

829

and no, it's, it's, it's the sunset.

830

It's the sunset making him blush.

831

Uh

832

TheMotionVictor: Oh, that was strange

833

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And then we get back in,

834

I believe, current time.

835

Everybody else is being

held in, uh, seclusion along

836

with Eren, who's in prison.

837

We find out Eren did a plan,

838

well now that was depressing: Yeah

839

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

and, uh, Sasha is dead

840

Oh no.

841

Oh

842

well now that was depressing: Yes

843

TheMotionVictor: that's…

844

'Cause we just

845

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

and

846

TheMotionVictor: a second

ago in a flash, forward

847

well now that was depressing:

how you know it's a flashback

848

TheMotionVictor: Yeah

849

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

850

Uh, and when Sasha died, Aaron laughed

851

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, that was, uh, wow.

852

Shit happened.

853

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah.

854

So my guess, so I'm gonna say this

is a, uh, Eren is s- so, like, with

855

PTSD that his only way to react to,

uh, one of the, like, six people

856

he actually cares about dying is

he, he broke and started laughing.

857

TheMotionVictor: that makes sense too.

858

I was gonna say it's because the,

he, he mentioned earlier that he has

859

the Warhammer Titan, and what do we

know about Warhammer 40K players?

860

Well, they're, they're dicks.

861

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Hey.

862

Mm.

863

TheMotionVictor: present

company excluded, but I know you

864

guys, you know the stereotype

865

well now that was depressing: I don't,

866

TheMotionVictor: about

867

well now that was depressing:

don't play Warhammer.

868

I just have a bunch of minis

painted in the basement.

869

I don't, I think I've used them once

870

TheMotionVictor: you just

read Warhammer for the plot.

871

Is that what you're saying?

872

well now that was depressing: The n-no,

no, I don't read Warhammer actually.

873

TheMotionVictor: the articles?

874

well now that was depressing: It's

way too much Warhammer to read

875

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

gonna say, uh, Eren uh,

876

unilaterally, "Hey, you know what?

877

We're, uh, we're not trading, uh,

not doing Zeke's plan," and he,

878

he, uh, blew up the trading fleet

879

TheMotionVictor: Hmm.

880

well now that was depressing: Hmm.

881

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, I could see that.

882

Yeah.

883

Why'd we get to zoom in on the ants?

884

That was strange.

885

There were ants.

886

Was that foreshadowing of some kind?

887

But while they're talking, the, in

the, in the, when they're, when they're

888

out there building the railroad,

the, the, got a close-up shot of,

889

of ants, uh, in a little line.

890

Hmm

891

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

The, the animator just

892

really thinks ants are cool

893

well now that was depressing:

It's-- You mean in a show with giant

894

people, they might be interested in

talking about the size perspective?

895

TheMotionVictor: Yeah

896

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Also, you know, we haven't seen

897

this yet, but, uh, Titans, they

communicate via vomiting chemicals, just

898

well now that was depressing: Hmm.

899

Just like ants.

900

TheMotionVictor: or like me on a

901

well now that was depressing: That's

why in the Ant-Man movie, it's

902

just Paul Rudd puking all the time

903

What a terrible movie that would've been.

904

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

That would have been awful.

905

well now that was depressing:

Scientifically accurate Ant-Man.

906

TheMotionVictor: Oh,

907

well now that was depressing: Oh, no.

908

TheMotionVictor: Um, okay, and

so Aaron's got a weird plan.

909

Uh, that's…

910

What, what, what, what

else were we missing here?

911

What else happened,

912

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

So

913

TheMotionVictor: before we

914

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Victor,

915

Jafer knows,

916

TheMotionVictor: Mm-hmm

917

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

but I wanna know your opinion.

918

TheMotionVictor: Hmm

919

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

plan,

920

TheMotionVictor: Mm-hmm

921

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

or dumber than the Cylon's plan?

922

TheMotionVictor: Smarter.

923

'cause I was very, very disappointed

924

well now that was depressing:

No spoilies, no spoilies.

925

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

926

Yeah.

927

I, uh,

928

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

At the end of,

929

TheMotionVictor: Laura Earmuffs.

930

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Galactica when, uh, R- Roslin

931

turns into a giant Titan, uh,

like I did not see that coming.

932

TheMotionVictor: Oh God, with, with

as dumb as the fourth season was,

933

I could see that shit happening.

934

You know, I, I, that's weird.

935

That reminds me of, a long time ago

before, before our current generation

936

of video games, there was, uh,

the announcement of a Battlestar

937

Galactica MMO, and I just pictured,

uh, a party running around, and there

938

was a giant Cylon Six, and they're

all like spanning their, their

939

dots and their DPS and everything.

940

It was like that, that would be stupid.

941

Anyway,

942

well now that was depressing: I

think you could do it where, like,

943

TheMotionVictor: yeah,

944

well now that was depressing:

you were assigned into…

945

TheMotionVictor: of World

of Warcraft at the time, and

946

well now that was depressing: Yeah

947

TheMotionVictor: that that

game was, was just, like,

948

well now that was depressing:

Spamming dots, yeah.

949

Well, I think you do it if all

that stuff only happens in space.

950

TheMotionVictor: Mm-hmm.

951

well now that was depressing: You're

like Viper pilots or Raptor pilots

952

and you're fighting like base stars

or the bases and you, you could

953

do stuff like that then maybe.

954

I don't know.

955

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, well,

956

well now that was depressing:

You might be able to make it work

957

TheMotionVictor: MMOs were

958

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

ship and I'm just spamming make more fuel.

959

Uh

960

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

961

A- MMOs have evolved

quite a bit, but yeah,

962

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I'm cloud nine and I'm just like,

963

"Oh, I'm trying to do my special

move, uh, Ellen Tyge gets tipsy."

964

Uh,

965

well now that was depressing: The

Trillium refiner, uh, mandatory overtime.

966

TheMotionVictor: Oh, yeah.

967

Cr-crush the union.

968

Crush the union.

969

well now that was depressing: Oh.

970

TheMotionVictor: Yep

971

well now that was depressing: but yeah,

uh, well, it sounds like you might have

972

some thoughts as to the Titan's plans,

and I'd love to hear those thoughts.

973

But unfortunately, while you discuss

these things, I must call over Pickles

974

TheMotionVictor: Pickles!

975

well now that was depressing:

and go beyond the wall

976

TheMotionVictor: All right.

977

Hey,

978

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Is there a wall anymore?

979

TheMotionVictor: There's,

980

well now that was depressing: I can't

answer that question, but that sounds like

981

something good to make a prediction about

982

TheMotionVictor: It's prediction time.

983

Lincoln, what are you doing up there?

984

Guessing.

985

I guess no one's coming.

986

I have seen

987

into the future.

988

You ruined the prophecy

989

TheMotionVictor: Um, okay.

990

Uh, I, I've, I forgot to make predictions,

so I quickly, uh, put some together.

991

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

okay.

992

I can go if you need time to, to…

993

TheMotionVictor: no, no, no,

it's my turn to go first.

994

You, you, you always

995

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Well, I just-- I-- if you needed,

996

if you needed another two minutes.

997

TheMotionVictor: I am proud of

what I just pulled out of my

998

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Oh, no.

999

TheMotionVictor: so yeah.

00:37:35,042 --> 00:37:36,622

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

is that why you went out to the porch?

00:37:39,579 --> 00:37:40,669

TheMotionVictor: Listen, listen, dude.

00:37:40,699 --> 00:37:45,379

Okay, you guys been throwing shade at my

porch toilet, but l- look, Ben, when you,

00:37:45,399 --> 00:37:47,629

when you come to visit in October, okay,

00:37:47,806 --> 00:37:49,226

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Well, is there shade out there?

00:37:49,689 --> 00:37:51,109

TheMotionVictor: Yeah, of

course there's shade out there.

00:37:51,109 --> 00:37:52,879

I've, I've got a, I've got a canopy.

00:37:53,099 --> 00:37:54,229

There's a great view.

00:37:54,469 --> 00:37:59,539

I've got air freshener, like s- three

different kinds of toilet paper that…

00:37:59,569 --> 00:38:00,549

Look, you're gonna love it.

00:38:00,549 --> 00:38:02,689

You're gonna come out, and you're

gonna, you're gonna shit on my porch,

00:38:02,709 --> 00:38:06,179

and you are gonna have a life-changing

experience, my friend, okay?

00:38:06,649 --> 00:38:06,899

You know what?

00:38:06,919 --> 00:38:10,989

I'm gonna, I'm gonna put two out there

so we can, we can take poops together.

00:38:11,316 --> 00:38:12,286

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

So we can hold hands

00:38:12,286 --> 00:38:13,636

like Thelma and Louise?

00:38:18,455 --> 00:38:18,945

TheMotionVictor: Okay.

00:38:18,985 --> 00:38:20,875

Okay, daytime prediction,

we get another pregnancy.

00:38:21,175 --> 00:38:22,865

Another perganan- pregnancy.

00:38:23,055 --> 00:38:24,475

Uh, all right.

00:38:25,845 --> 00:38:27,775

Uh, evening prediction.

00:38:27,775 --> 00:38:30,805

This is, this is just from our

perspective from what we see.

00:38:31,575 --> 00:38:35,605

get no explanation for the flying

whale by the time we are done.

00:38:36,700 --> 00:38:37,900

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I, I think that's a safe bet

00:38:39,695 --> 00:38:46,985

TheMotionVictor: And primetime prediction,

in our final episode, uh, we get very

00:38:47,365 --> 00:38:50,365

painfully long death scene from Aaron.

00:38:51,255 --> 00:38:51,865

my primetime.

00:38:52,828 --> 00:38:53,308

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

All right.

00:38:54,898 --> 00:39:00,898

so in this episode, we get a little bit of

backstory about how Historia got pregnant.

00:39:01,208 --> 00:39:03,858

There was a, uh-- She got negged.

00:39:04,228 --> 00:39:08,888

Uh, a kid threw rocks at her and

then felt bad when she started an

00:39:08,888 --> 00:39:10,778

orphanage and started working there.

00:39:11,088 --> 00:39:17,368

And, uh, but I'm going to say

this is a lie, and the stable

00:39:17,368 --> 00:39:21,618

boy, in Mori, is not the father.

00:39:21,878 --> 00:39:22,618

Um,

00:39:22,757 --> 00:39:22,767

TheMotionVictor: Ooh

00:39:23,938 --> 00:39:25,808

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

somebody else is, probably Armin.

00:39:26,098 --> 00:39:26,718

Uh

00:39:27,107 --> 00:39:28,847

TheMotionVictor: Oh yeah, I

forgot Armin comes back in this

00:39:29,044 --> 00:39:30,774

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah, Armin's here with a haircut.

00:39:30,814 --> 00:39:31,944

Everybody's got a haircut.

00:39:31,994 --> 00:39:32,994

Some people have two.

00:39:34,204 --> 00:39:38,654

The only way I knew who, uh, Mikasa was,

was because she still has her scarf.

00:39:39,014 --> 00:39:43,574

Uh, uh, Victor, you have…

00:39:43,714 --> 00:39:46,694

While you were in the, the, the

army, would you have let, like,

00:39:46,704 --> 00:39:51,124

anybody walk around with, like, a

non-regulation giant flowy red scarf?

00:39:52,229 --> 00:39:54,619

TheMotionVictor: I'm sure it happened at

some point and we just didn't give a shit.

00:39:54,996 --> 00:39:55,426

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah

00:39:55,649 --> 00:39:56,889

TheMotionVictor: it, it,

yeah, one or the other.

00:39:56,889 --> 00:40:01,069

Either you don't give a shit and you let

it go, or that idiot private gets ripped

00:40:01,069 --> 00:40:07,649

a new one and they are, uh, mopping

the floor for the next 72 years, so

00:40:07,828 --> 00:40:09,408

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

This, this, I know it feels like the

00:40:09,408 --> 00:40:14,578

sort of thing where some corporal will

get really uptight about it, where it's

00:40:14,578 --> 00:40:19,358

just like, hey, uh, I don't know, maybe

this is just my, my understanding.

00:40:19,598 --> 00:40:23,288

Corporals feel like the assistant

manager at a, a Wendy's to me,

00:40:23,628 --> 00:40:27,668

where it's like you're a 20-year-old

telling 17-year-olds what to do.

00:40:27,899 --> 00:40:28,189

TheMotionVictor: Yeah.

00:40:28,218 --> 00:40:28,668

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Uh,

00:40:28,779 --> 00:40:29,409

TheMotionVictor: Exactly.

00:40:30,148 --> 00:40:31,408

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

and all right, so I'll,

00:40:31,508 --> 00:40:32,098

I'll just keep going.

00:40:32,219 --> 00:40:32,629

TheMotionVictor: of, speaking of

00:40:32,948 --> 00:40:35,128

well now that was depressing:

I'd be willing to bet that if it

00:40:35,128 --> 00:40:38,338

didn't happen before this anime,

it sure as shit happened after

00:40:38,990 --> 00:40:39,470

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Probably

00:40:40,227 --> 00:40:42,957

TheMotionVictor: I was gonna mention

that towards the end of my, uh,

00:40:42,967 --> 00:40:50,587

2022, 2023, uh, the Department of

00:40:50,587 --> 00:40:54,627

Defense, uh, finally recognized, um…

00:40:56,447 --> 00:41:00,357

See, when I first joined, uh, they

00:41:00,357 --> 00:41:05,117

just recognized Wicca as a legitimate

religion that you could have on your

00:41:05,117 --> 00:41:06,917

dog tags and make exceptions for.

00:41:06,917 --> 00:41:11,327

And then towards the end of my, around

00:41:11,327 --> 00:41:18,417

recognized, officially recognized,

what the term was for, but Norse as,

00:41:18,567 --> 00:41:22,547

uh, officially stuff like you could

have it on your dog tags and stuff.

00:41:22,577 --> 00:41:26,787

And exceptions were made for

practitioners of Norse religions.

00:41:26,817 --> 00:41:28,317

They could grow out their beards.

00:41:29,874 --> 00:41:30,994

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Well, that's already gone

00:41:32,901 --> 00:41:34,681

TheMotionVictor: What, uh, Odin and Thor?

00:41:34,701 --> 00:41:35,061

Yeah, they're

00:41:35,068 --> 00:41:37,338

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

No, uh, I believe the, the,

00:41:37,378 --> 00:41:39,518

those recognitions just

got rolled back this year.

00:41:39,565 --> 00:41:40,155

TheMotionVictor: Oh, they did?

00:41:40,428 --> 00:41:40,688

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yeah

00:41:41,115 --> 00:41:42,075

TheMotionVictor: damn, that sucks.

00:41:44,095 --> 00:41:44,605

Oh, well.

00:41:44,665 --> 00:41:44,835

Two

00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:45,120

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

yeah.

00:41:45,365 --> 00:41:45,985

TheMotionVictor: one step back.

00:41:46,795 --> 00:41:46,945

Anyway

00:41:47,070 --> 00:41:48,780

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

uh, I'm gonna say the

00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:49,900

stable boy's not the father.

00:41:49,930 --> 00:41:50,940

Evening prediction,

00:41:51,149 --> 00:41:51,609

TheMotionVictor: Oh, sorry.

00:41:51,609 --> 00:41:52,289

Yeah, more prediction,

00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:54,880

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

the, the Hizuru, uh, they

00:41:54,890 --> 00:41:59,600

send ninjas, after, uh, Mikasa

00:42:01,027 --> 00:42:01,057

TheMotionVictor: Yeah

00:42:01,906 --> 00:42:03,336

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I don't know if it's to attack her

00:42:03,356 --> 00:42:08,026

or to defend her from something,

but they send ninjas and, uh,

00:42:08,066 --> 00:42:09,536

they pop up out of the shadows.

00:42:11,516 --> 00:42:19,336

And, uh Because, uh, kind of teased

it already, uh, I'm gonna say prime

00:42:19,336 --> 00:42:27,496

time, by the time we get to the finale,

Eren has half of the Titan powers.

00:42:29,086 --> 00:42:33,306

He has been r- going through them,

collecting, uh, you know, going

00:42:33,306 --> 00:42:36,946

to the, the, uh, uh, what is it?

00:42:36,946 --> 00:42:42,446

The purple room and combining his,

uh, personas, and he'll have…

00:42:42,666 --> 00:42:44,306

He's got, I believe, three right now.

00:42:44,306 --> 00:42:45,596

He's going to have six

00:42:46,631 --> 00:42:48,521

TheMotionVictor: Ah, so this

is a Pokemon style thing where

00:42:48,531 --> 00:42:49,851

you gotta catch all the titans

00:42:49,928 --> 00:42:51,718

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

I, I'm, I'm clearly going

00:42:51,748 --> 00:42:53,988

Persona, but, you know, it is

00:42:54,233 --> 00:42:55,433

TheMotionVictor: Oh,

I've never seen Persona.

00:42:55,533 --> 00:42:56,413

Where's, where…

00:42:57,253 --> 00:42:57,793

that a anime?

00:42:57,793 --> 00:42:58,863

I thought it was a video game, or

00:42:58,880 --> 00:42:59,500

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

It's a video game

00:42:59,903 --> 00:43:00,263

TheMotionVictor: Okay.

00:43:01,823 --> 00:43:02,923

Spoilers for Persona.

00:43:03,762 --> 00:43:04,012

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

not.

00:43:04,012 --> 00:43:06,982

It's, it's the, the, the

core, like, game mechanic

00:43:07,303 --> 00:43:08,573

TheMotionVictor: Now spoilers for me

'cause I've never read any of them.

00:43:10,273 --> 00:43:12,533

All right, uh, Pickles, come back.

00:43:15,107 --> 00:43:15,537

well now that was depressing: Hey, guys.

00:43:16,042 --> 00:43:16,652

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Hey

00:43:17,037 --> 00:43:18,167

well now that was depressing:

You get some good predictions in?

00:43:18,609 --> 00:43:19,849

TheMotionVictor: We got

some good predictions in

00:43:20,405 --> 00:43:20,785

well now that was depressing: All right.

00:43:20,785 --> 00:43:25,795

Well, I was out there, I rolled some

dice, and I rolled a nine, which is

00:43:25,795 --> 00:43:34,455

gonna take us to season four, episode

20, chapter 79, "Memories of the Future."

00:43:35,615 --> 00:43:38,555

Uh, I'm gonna-- Before I read

this description, I'm gonna do the

00:43:38,555 --> 00:43:39,775

little math for you real quick.

00:43:39,775 --> 00:43:40,375

I already did it.

00:43:40,955 --> 00:43:42,385

Uh, we're rolling three D8.

00:43:42,505 --> 00:43:46,675

There are 512 possible

combinations of the three D8.

00:43:48,275 --> 00:43:52,645

All but 56 of these take us to

the finale on the next roll.

00:43:53,455 --> 00:43:53,585

TheMotionVictor: Well,

00:43:53,725 --> 00:43:57,795

well now that was depressing:

00:43:57,825 --> 00:44:01,275

chance that this is our last

episode before the finale

00:44:01,603 --> 00:44:04,003

TheMotionVictor: That was a less

climactic version of the Dr.

00:44:04,003 --> 00:44:07,503

Strange speech in, uh, in

Avengers about, about the

00:44:07,573 --> 00:44:08,933

well now that was depressing:

Significantly less.

00:44:09,403 --> 00:44:12,253

I've seen millions of passion be-- no, uh,

00:44:12,552 --> 00:44:12,872

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And then how

00:44:13,003 --> 00:44:13,983

well now that was depressing: 512.

00:44:14,152 --> 00:44:15,492

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Statistically, most of them.

00:44:15,942 --> 00:44:16,632

Oh, okay.

00:44:19,263 --> 00:44:21,363

well now that was depressing: All but 56.

00:44:21,597 --> 00:44:22,747

TheMotionVictor: wait, let

me, let me get this straight.

00:44:22,757 --> 00:44:24,247

If I'm understanding this correctly,

00:44:24,613 --> 00:44:24,813

well now that was depressing: Yeah

00:44:25,307 --> 00:44:28,017

TheMotionVictor: we just

finished chapter 69,

00:44:28,582 --> 00:44:28,942

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yes

00:44:29,369 --> 00:44:29,739

well now that was depressing: Yeah

00:44:29,997 --> 00:44:32,347

TheMotionVictor: next episode

is season four, episode 20

00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:33,680

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Yes.

00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:34,410

Yes.

00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:35,250

Chapter

00:44:35,423 --> 00:44:36,923

well now that was depressing:

sev, chapter 79

00:44:37,205 --> 00:44:40,235

TheMotionVictor: But it's, it,

but it's season four, episode

00:44:40,317 --> 00:44:41,007

well now that was depressing: 20.

00:44:41,137 --> 00:44:41,427

Yeah.

00:44:41,647 --> 00:44:42,807

This was season four, episode

00:44:43,238 --> 00:44:43,768

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Victor

00:44:43,805 --> 00:44:45,575

TheMotionVictor: went from 69 to 420.

00:44:45,575 --> 00:44:46,725

You're doing this on purpose.

00:44:50,501 --> 00:44:53,481

well now that was depressing: You know,

I have a feeling if this podcast had more

00:44:53,481 --> 00:44:56,951

listeners, I would be accused of picking

episodes on purpose a lot more often.

00:44:58,321 --> 00:44:59,421

But I never have.

00:44:59,491 --> 00:45:02,991

It's always been a dice

roll every single time.

00:45:03,233 --> 00:45:03,493

TheMotionVictor: Mm-hmm.

00:45:03,513 --> 00:45:04,493

Pickles can confirm.

00:45:05,111 --> 00:45:06,541

well now that was depressing:

Yeah, Pickles, Pickles witnessed.

00:45:07,161 --> 00:45:08,061

Uh, all right.

00:45:08,091 --> 00:45:10,921

So chapter 79, "Memories of the Future."

00:45:11,441 --> 00:45:18,441

Zeke takes Eren through Grisha's memories

to show him how he's been brainwashed.

00:45:18,891 --> 00:45:22,901

But in doing so, Zeke

learns something about Eren

00:45:24,401 --> 00:45:24,671

TheMotionVictor: Hmm.

00:45:25,721 --> 00:45:26,081

vague.

00:45:26,171 --> 00:45:26,541

Okay

00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:28,210

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

learns that he has a porch toilet

00:45:28,230 --> 00:45:29,240

and is just like, "You know what?

00:45:30,819 --> 00:45:32,379

well now that was depressing:

I'm disowning you, stepbrother

00:45:32,573 --> 00:45:33,503

TheMotionVictor: October, dude.

00:45:33,503 --> 00:45:36,383

Come October, you're gonna see

the glory of the Serenity toilet.

00:45:38,093 --> 00:45:38,503

It's,

00:45:39,023 --> 00:45:41,963

well now that was depressing:

Not one photo with no commentary

00:45:42,233 --> 00:45:43,713

off this porch, by the way.

00:45:48,071 --> 00:45:48,471

TheMotionVictor: I, I

00:45:48,583 --> 00:45:49,623

well now that was depressing:

know what's going on

00:45:49,691 --> 00:45:51,091

TheMotionVictor: the night,

I go, and I'm just like, "Oh,

00:45:51,091 --> 00:45:52,161

yeah, I should've taken a photo.

00:45:52,191 --> 00:45:52,971

Oh, well, next time.

00:45:53,901 --> 00:45:54,271

Next time."

00:45:54,341 --> 00:45:55,511

But it's on my to-do list.

00:45:57,391 --> 00:45:59,061

To- my to-do-do list.

00:46:00,654 --> 00:46:00,934

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

Oh, geez.

00:46:01,994 --> 00:46:04,284

Is it number two on your to-do-do list?

00:46:07,105 --> 00:46:08,935

well now that was depressing:

Well, I'd ask you to rate this

00:46:08,965 --> 00:46:11,075

podcast, but that seems…

00:46:11,465 --> 00:46:12,055

Don't.

00:46:12,475 --> 00:46:14,535

We're, we're just gonna

thank Rype and head out.

00:46:14,575 --> 00:46:15,395

Thanks, Rype.

00:46:16,165 --> 00:46:19,515

And, uh, I guess, Ben,

you wanna take us out?

00:46:19,964 --> 00:46:20,924

Slightly older Benjamin with a worse hair cut:

And we'll see you next

00:46:20,924 --> 00:46:23,324
