Hello and welcome to last time on This the podcast for the people who

2

wanna watch all this prestige television.

3

But who's got time for it?

4

Benjamin: Apparently I do.

5

I had so much, like I've watched

three different things this week.

6

Uh,

7

Xhafer: Oh, you mean a normal week for me?

8

Benjamin: fair.

9

I

10

Xhafer: I,

11

Benjamin: forgot we.

12

Xhafer: I.

13

Benjamin: I forgot we were doing this,

and so I've watched the other episode

14

of what we'll be doing next week now.

15

Uh

16

Xhafer: Oh, I wasn't going

to acknowledge it at all.

17

Benjamin: oh.

18

Fair enough.

19

Xhafer: just gonna get into

it and people pretend like we

20

had watched the wrong thing.

21

like we forgot what April Fools

was on this podcast network.

22

I

23

the like.

24

Third of our audience that also

listens to Who are You, you

25

are in for a treat tomorrow.

26

Don't tell anyone in the discord,

just let it be a surprise.

27

Benjamin: Oh, that's exciting.

28

Xhafer: unacknowledged this year.

29

Um, or even I think we're

putting up the title like it's

30

Razor and everything as well.

31

Like we're just gonna completely not say

anything this time and just let it be and

32

Benjamin: nice.

33

Xhafer: the episode it takes for

you to realize what's going on.

34

Uh,

35

Benjamin: Yeah.

36

So this week, uh, we are reviewing

the Detroit Bridgeton experience.

37

Xhafer: No,

38

that, that went viral, right?

39

Benjamin: Yes, it did.

40

It was on the front page of the BBC.

41

Xhafer: Yeah.

42

you went right?

43

Benjamin: No, no.

44

Xhafer: We know people who went

45

Benjamin: We did know people who went.

46

Xhafer: Okay.

47

Benjamin: Uh, no.

48

Uh, so th uh, this week

we do not have Victor.

49

It is just me, Ben,

50

Xhafer: Me.

51

Benjamin: and we are talking

Bridgeton, season three, episode four,

52

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

53

Benjamin: episode four.

54

I dunno.

55

This one probably actually

has an episode title.

56

Xhafer: is the name of this episode.

57

Um.

58

gonna call it now, uh, Beth put in a

prediction for something you'd say.

59

So if that happens, I'll call it out.

60

Benjamin: All right.

61

Was it making a joke about the

Detroit Bridgeton experience?

62

Xhafer: It was not, otherwise I would've

already had to have sounded the horns.

63

So, uh, I have not

watched Eddie Bridgeton.

64

Benjamin: I have not either.

65

Xhafer: Um.

66

I kept waiting to find out it

was a death stranding prequel.

67

Very disappointed that the Bridger

tins are not related to Sam Bridges.

68

Uh, but you know, it's fine.

69

Uh, I have no experience with

this show except knowing that

70

it is horny and on Netflix.

71

That's, that's all.

72

I got

73

Benjamin: Didn't even

seem particularly horny.

74

I don't know.

75

Uh.

76

Xhafer: I mean.

77

I felt like I, I know 'cause I've walked

in on scenes before, as Beth was watching,

78

that there are definitely hor episodes.

79

Uh, this one was chosen as a good

baseline because it, it felt like I

80

could mostly know what was going on

without having seen the other seasons.

81

And also, this is an

iconic episode, apparently.

82

Um, one of the big ones, it's

your Ozzy, Manus or whatever.

83

It's the worst one.

84

This is a big one.

85

Benjamin: Feel like, oh, this

is a culmination of some stuff.

86

But it also, I, I, uh, I was watching

this with Glo who has watched the show

87

and, uh, I think you really need some

of the setup for some of this payoff.

88

'cause I'm just like, I

think everyone in this sucks

89

Xhafer: There's

90

Benjamin: I haven't been in.

91

Xhafer: that I enjoyed in this show.

92

Benjamin: Yeah, I haven't been endeared

to you over three seasons to see that

93

you have now hit the pit, you know, of,

of you know, oh, this is a, a cathartic

94

climax, and now we're returning to a, a

new future that we've been longing for.

95

I'm just like seeing the people at

their worst before the turn, and I'm

96

just like, I don't like any of you.

97

Xhafer: Oh

98

Um, so we open on the

feather tins, feathering

99

Benjamin: Yes.

100

Xhafer: checking in

101

Benjamin: Uh,

102

Xhafer: pen,

103

Benjamin: penal.

104

Yep.

105

Xhafer: who has a dude dropping

off a plant because the bridger

106

tins have done some matchmaking.

107

Now, I

108

Benjamin: so.

109

Xhafer: next to me at this she tried

to explain a couple of things and I had

110

to stop her, I did get character names.

111

Thank fuck.

112

Benjamin: I, I, I, I did what I

usually do, which is I'm very careful.

113

I open up IMDB, then immediately click

episode guide and go to this episode.

114

Xhafer: Yeah.

115

Benjamin: really matter for this one,

but like, I never want to see like,

116

you know, Ben Curley three episodes and

then I know like, oh, he going to die.

117

Uh, and then I try and

like match up, okay.

118

Does this person's I-M-D-V-B photo look

anything like their, uh, their character?

119

Xhafer: Yeah, it's tough to say sometimes.

120

Benjamin: but, uh, this, this

guy is, is trying to put the

121

moves on on uh, Pinal Lo.

122

And everybody's kinda like, really?

123

She's even to her.

124

Yeah.

125

Xhafer: I, I, I don't know.

126

Benjamin: Yeah.

127

Xhafer: Um, I don't know if there have

been, like, if it's a a, a status thing.

128

If the feathering tins are like

beneath the Britons or something, um,

129

Benjamin: Well, and this is Lord Debling.

130

I don't know.

131

Xhafer: well, yeah, it's just,

I don't know, like the general

132

standing of everyone except for

133

Benjamin: Right.

134

Xhafer: is obviously the

queen and also a badass.

135

We'll talk about that wig

at the end of the episode.

136

Uh, yeah.

137

Benjamin: Also making a great, uh.

138

Argument for why queens

are bad or just monarchs.

139

It's just like you have a country to rent.

140

It's like, yeah, but I want

to play with my dollies.

141

Those, those are people,

142

Xhafer: that way.

143

Benjamin: no, they're not.

144

Uh,

145

Xhafer: Right.

146

Does she have a country to run?

147

I don't know.

148

Maybe she's just a figurehead.

149

I

150

Benjamin: that doesn't seem like it.

151

Xhafer: They say they're in London

and everyone's got these titles,

152

but also like you could tell me

that this is just like a fantasy

153

place where only these people exist

154

Benjamin: It does seem like that there

are, if you do not have a title and a

155

huge amount of money, you do not exist

in this world unless you are a toot.

156

Um,

157

Xhafer: yeah.

158

Benjamin: there are swe and that's it.

159

Uh.

160

Xhafer: Ugh.

161

Uh, yeah.

162

So, Lord darling, I actually

did not write his name down.

163

Uh, I call him Dudley.

164

I just called him.

165

Lord gonna freeze to death the

entire time as we find out, he is

166

obsessed with the Northwest passage

167

He is not gonna have a good time.

168

He's very dead,

169

uh, over it.

170

Bridgeton Manor.

171

Francesca is expecting a

marquee to come calling.

172

Benjamin: Oh yeah.

173

Xhafer: Uh, Colin gets asked by

mom about new oven stuff and we get

174

some voiceover from our narrator.

175

Lady.

176

Whistle down refers to

us as Dear Gentle Reader.

177

Benjamin: Yep.

178

Xhafer: Uh,

179

hey.

180

Benjamin: I kept hoping.

181

Xhafer: that makes

182

Benjamin: Yeah,

183

Xhafer: somehow.

184

Benjamin: kept hoping at some point

our, uh, narrator would have quasi,

185

uh, omnipotent powers, like the

narrator from George of the Jungle.

186

Uh, but she never engages with the story.

187

There's always a reso a uh,

uh, a level of remove, uh.

188

That was, it's Julie Andrews, right?

189

Xhafer: I have no idea.

190

Benjamin: Okay.

191

It is Julie Andrews.

192

Okay.

193

I'm not crazy.

194

Uh, I was just like,

I recognize the voice.

195

Xhafer: Yeah.

196

Um,

197

Benjamin: I want her to

try and teach, uh uh oh.

198

Dang it.

199

Why am I blanking on her name?

200

Uh, princess Diaries.

201

Uh.

202

Xhafer: haven't seen it,

203

Benjamin: Oh, okay.

204

Dang it.

205

Xhafer: I was a question about it on, um,

actually last week, but that's about as

206

far as my princess diary's knowledge goes.

207

Benjamin: I'm mad because I

watched it with Glow four.

208

Cool.

209

Boys don't cry at rom-coms.

210

Uh, Anne Hathaway, uh, 'cause she teaches

Anne Hathaway how to be a princess.

211

Xhafer: Ah, um, we get an out of

context hookup that meant nothing to me.

212

Benjamin: Nope.

213

Means absolutely nothing.

214

Now, later when they're being coy with

each other, or the third time we see these

215

characters and they're banging again.

216

Xhafer: Yeah.

217

Uh, Lord Anderson is in town with

visiting his sister's estate she

218

feels he's in town for a good time.

219

Not a long time.

220

Benjamin: Yep.

221

Xhafer: Uh, I think Lord Anderson

would've something to say about that

222

different, but not in this scene.

223

Uh, and then we're waiting

for the marqui to show up.

224

Lord Kil Martin comes a

225

Benjamin: Yes,

226

Xhafer: Uh, we learned that they

met at a Hawkins Ball, and if that

227

wasn't a Sadie Hawkins dance, I

hope it was a Sophie b Hawkins dance

228

Damn.

229

Benjamin: I mean, if, uh, if they

did not do a harpsichord cover

230

of that during the Hawkins Ball,

231

Xhafer: Yeah,

232

Benjamin: the point?

233

Why are we here?

234

Xhafer: right.

235

I want to go watch that, just

that scene to know if they did it.

236

And that might be enough to go, okay,

maybe I can give this show a little bit

237

of a chance, but if it's not that level of

self-aware, I'm probably not interested.

238

Benjamin: Yeah.

239

I.

240

Xhafer: Uh, let

241

Benjamin: Uh,

242

Xhafer: in the Discord listeners.

243

Benjamin: yeah.

244

Uh, I do appreciate that Francesca

and, uh, our, uh, Lord, uh, Earl

245

Kilmartin, they're just like

chilling, sitting silently like,

246

this is kind of nice, and everybody

else is just like, what going on?

247

Xhafer: Yeah, they, uh, they

sit in silence for like a minute

248

when Lord's Samani shows up.

249

And then, uh, we get a, uh,

the ridges are having a B plot

250

Benjamin: Yes.

251

Xhafer: confused by this.

252

Benjamin: Yeah.

253

So apparently this guy, it seems

like he is a, a poor who has

254

risen above his station through

owning a, a, a gentleman's club.

255

But then he doesn't want to give

up on the thing that got him.

256

Elevated.

257

He's like, but I still

wanna run the book, the bar.

258

And it's like, no, you're, you're gentry.

259

Now you don't work.

260

And something else has gone wrong.

261

And I think, I'm gonna say last time

on, they discovered that when we end

262

into club, we all fam and then two

people died and it caused a massive

263

inheritance issue because we're all fam

and now we have to smash the end tail.

264

Xhafer: I thought Netflix shows were

supposed to tell you the character's

265

names and what they were doing at all

times, so that way you could not pay

266

attention and still watch the show.

267

And I'm very disappointed that

this one time that's not true.

268

Benjamin: I, I don't think

this was designed for.

269

All right.

270

What writers?

271

New.

272

New, new directive.

273

Everyone needs to be able to follow

every episode, assuming they've

274

never watched any of it before.

275

Xhafer: Uh, after this we

go to some guy's library.

276

Uh, Penelope's mom tells her to be dumb,

so the Lord she's courting feels smart.

277

Benjamin: Yeah.

278

Xhafer: have one note here.

279

I.

280

Benjamin: I can't hear what, that's

not picking up what you're doing.

281

Xhafer: not picking up me booing.

282

Benjamin: No.

283

Xhafer: fucking, oh my God.

284

Fucking, I'm booing so hard.

285

Boo.

286

No, it cuts out immediately.

287

It must think that it's white noise.

288

Fucking, I don't even have like

cancellation or anything on, let me boo

289

Benjamin: Yep.

290

Xhafer: Yeah, no.

291

Immediately cut.

292

I had a whole bit planned with like

timed breathing and everything.

293

God damnit.

294

Fucking, okay, this is like, to,

to open up the curtain a little.

295

This is our second time

using just script rooms.

296

my sec or Ben, your first time.

297

My second time.

298

Dear to script, I know you're capturing

this audio to improve your algorithms.

299

This sucks compared to squad.

300

Squad cast.

301

Give a squad, cast back.

302

Fuck.

303

You

304

Benjamin: Yeah.

305

But here as.

306

Like,

307

uh, ES Jair was alluding to She, uh, she

was like, why are you reading a book?

308

No man will want to come and

talk to a girl who's reading.

309

And it's like,

310

Xhafer: what

311

Benjamin: shut up.

312

Uh, but also she's like, it's a

book about the Northwest passage

313

and that's where he's going.

314

And I'm just like, oh man, he's going

western from the Bearing Strait.

315

'cause that's was there, it was

said to lie the sea root to the

316

Orient for which so many died.

317

Xhafer: He's so fucked.

318

He's so

319

Benjamin: yeah, he's going to die.

320

Xhafer: He's

321

Benjamin: He's going to freeze

to death, and maybe there will

322

be polar bear smoke monsters.

323

If you've watched the terror, uh.

324

Xhafer: Anyways, Penelope and one of the

bridge boys are always looking at each

325

other while having other conversations.

326

Uh, my notes here say just bang already.

327

Benjamin: See, I dis, I,

328

Xhafer: there.

329

Benjamin: I felt so bad for, uh,

for Debling, where it's just like,

330

Hey, I'm really like trying to suss

out, like, Hey, you wanna marry me?

331

And this girl is just like.

332

Only looking at some other

guy and it was like, oh man.

333

Like, you deserve better, dude.

334

Uh,

335

Xhafer: like not freezing to death.

336

Benjamin: yeah.

337

Well, I mean, don't steal a man's dreams.

338

Uh, but he wants to be married

before he freezes to death, uh,

339

after eating bad canned food.

340

Xhafer: Uh, after this we see Colin, and

what I'm guessing is this show's version

341

of litter, little Finger's, brothel.

342

Benjamin: Yeah, he sits on the cut couch.

343

Xhafer: he sits on the cut couch.

344

Beth looked at me just like she looked

up from the thing that she was doing,

345

looked at me and goes, welcome to Bridger.

346

There are titties.

347

Benjamin: Okay.

348

Um.

349

Xhafer: Yeah, it's just, I, I,

I don't, I was, I don't know

350

what I was expecting, I guess.

351

I mean, there's Netflix, there's

no reason they can't, I, I never

352

think of Netflix as an HBO.

353

I always think of it as more of like a TNT

in terms of what they can get away with.

354

Uh, yeah, I, I guess it's a, if they

could be skin ax if they wanted.

355

Uh, let's see here.

356

Francesca runs into Lord Kill Martin

in the streets, and it's hella awkward.

357

Benjamin: We find out he has

about as much game as I do.

358

Uh, they, they are, they are.

359

Uh, she's like, oh, hey, so,

uh, what, what, uh, lets you

360

stop, uh, and talk to me today.

361

And he's like, you stopped me.

362

Uh

363

uh, and she's clearly like.

364

Give me a sign you're interested, dude.

365

And he's like, so music, that's a thing.

366

And she makes a comment about how, oh,

I don't like how he's playing the song.

367

He's playing it too fast.

368

It should be slowed down.

369

And he immediately like runs away like

the Paladin in Dungeons and Dragons

370

among Thieves, just like straight line g.

371

Xhafer: Do you know that that

scene was 95% improvised?

372

No, no.

373

In Dungeons and Dragons, when he walks

374

Benjamin: Oh no.

375

Xhafer: they told him to just

keep walking and they'll call

376

cut when they've got enough.

377

And he was only expecting to walk for

like four or five steps and they just kept

378

filming and everyone else is ad-libbing.

379

All of that stuff, all improvised,

like all the lines as he's walking

380

away about the rock and stuff and they

just had no idea what he was gonna do

381

and he just went right over the rock.

382

It was, fuck that.

383

That's one of the funniest

scenes of that fucking movie.

384

Benjamin: It absolutely is.

385

It's great.

386

That movie is so good.

387

I'm sad it didn't do better.

388

Xhafer: Yeah.

389

should watch it again.

390

It's been a minute.

391

let's see here.

392

Eloise checks in on Sidia

and her dad is a dick.

393

Benjamin: Yeah.

394

Xhafer: And then

395

Benjamin: Uh.

396

Xhafer: in what I wrote

down the men's locker room.

397

Uh, I know that it's not a men's

locker room, but everyone here

398

is all like, yeah, I've had sex.

399

I'm so cool.

400

I boned my girlfriend in

Canada, she's totes reel.

401

You'll just never meet her anyways.

402

My girlfriend who lives in

Canada, her name is Alberta.

403

She lives in Vancouver.

404

Benjamin: Yeah.

405

Oh yeah.

406

Bang to this girl, LA Cross Greece.

407

And it's like,

408

uh, and this is, uh.

409

I've, I've blanked on their names.

410

This is the, the club owned by

the guy who's having problems.

411

I, I hate all of these people.

412

Uh, they're being gross and I'm just like,

you all should meet my friend Madam Laine.

413

Uh, it made me very sad.

414

England's never had a a

French style revolution.

415

Xhafer: Oh man.

416

They just are ending the hereditary

nature in the House of Lords.

417

Like this year they passed a law about it.

418

Benjamin: which then, what is it now?

419

Xhafer: Well, it's already, there's

already a handful of elected

420

seats in the House of Lords.

421

Um, but they're saying, I, they, I,

I think it was all, but like 90 seats

422

in the House of Lords are elected the,

it's just like there's a handful of like

423

Dukes and Earls that are passing it on.

424

Barons and stuff, now they're

all the last generation when they

425

die or doesn't pass on to their

kids, it moves over to, elections.

426

Benjamin: So it'll be just

a different elected body.

427

Xhafer: Yeah.

428

Benjamin: But what about the Duke of Earl?

429

Xhafer: I, I don't know the Duke of Earl.

430

Benjamin: No, you don't know

your, your fifties bebop.

431

Xhafer: No, not,

432

Benjamin: Okay.

433

Xhafer: that one.

434

Benjamin: Alright.

435

Xhafer: Sorry.

436

Benjamin: Uh, so we have, uh, debling

has come to talk to, uh, Polly Walker.

437

That's, uh.

438

Penelope's mom and, uh, ask

for her permission to ask

439

for Penelope to marry him.

440

And he's real weird when he leaves.

441

Uh, it's just like, what's going on?

442

Xhafer: It's like there's

nothing hidden here.

443

He had told her as much.

444

She was all like, well, you gotta

ask my mom like two scenes ago.

445

Like

446

regardless, uh, she goes

and talks to her mom.

447

She's like, of course.

448

I said, yes, you.

449

It's not like you're holding out for love.

450

You fool.

451

Benjamin: Yeah.

452

Xhafer: is like, love is

a many splendor thing.

453

Love lifts us up where we belong.

454

All you need is love.

455

Benjamin: Uh, but also we get this

like, Hey, stop reading books.

456

Love is Not, or life

is not a Romance novel.

457

Uh, which this is one of those things

where it's like, this show is a romance

458

novel, so it's gonna work out different

459

Xhafer: It's got a narrator in everything.

460

Benjamin: It, but it is one of

those things where it's like.

461

The mom is a jerk, but it's also like not

terrible advice for a real human being,

462

but it's just like, Hey, uh, how about

you talk to the guy who's like nice to

463

you all of the time and don't wait for the

asshole to make a grand romantic gesture.

464

Uh,

465

Xhafer: You're just waiting

to get love bombed right now.

466

Benjamin: yeah.

467

Xhafer: Yikes.

468

Benjamin: This is going to lead

into a, uh, toxic feedback loop.

469

Xhafer: Yeah.

470

Let's

471

Benjamin: Uh, Colin now

has too many feelings.

472

Xhafer: Yes, the weight of a tub.

473

Uh.

474

Benjamin: couldn't sleep

with the prostitutes mama.

475

Xhafer: Fuck.

476

the fucking worst.

477

Benjamin: I know.

478

And then his mom is like, you've been

living your life to please others.

479

I'm like, he didn't

please those s workers.

480

Uh, he.

481

Xhafer: No, no, he didn't.

482

Benjamin: It's also like I haven't seen

him be nice to anybody this whole episode.

483

Xhafer: It's kind of a shit.

484

Yeah.

485

Benjamin: Yeah.

486

I, I even wrote in my, my, uh,

notes, like, he seems like a p.

487

Xhafer: Yeah.

488

But, uh, he hears Penelope might

be getting proposed to, and

489

he just, he can't handle that.

490

He might have to go to

the ballet or whatever.

491

Benjamin: Then we go to the Queen's

party where uh, everybody is sitting and

492

watching a Live Little Boots Music video.

493

Xhafer: Ha.

494

Yeah.

495

Queen Charlotte has a music

box in her fucking wig.

496

Benjamin: Yes.

497

Xhafer: This thing is absurd.

498

I love it.

499

Benjamin: Regency Hairstyles man, like

they had live birds in people's wigs.

500

Xhafer: I mean, as the guy

who had birds on his hat, I

501

appreciate game, recognized game.

502

Benjamin: Yeah.

503

Xhafer: uh, let's see.

504

Uh.

505

Lady Bridger tin and Lord

Anderson talk about matchmaking.

506

Benjamin: Mm-hmm.

507

Xhafer: They gonna bone?

508

Benjamin: It seems like it,

509

Xhafer: Yeah.

510

Benjamin: talking about, oh,

we both have dead spouses.

511

I had a love match.

512

I didn't, but we grew to love each other.

513

Uh, well maybe in my second act.

514

Uh, and then we watch fancy people

dance among what our clearly

515

looted columns from Greece.

516

'cause this is 18th century London.

517

All this shit is stolen.

518

Um.

519

Xhafer: Yeah.

520

Uh, let's see.

521

Eloise and Sidia hang out

despite her dad's wishes.

522

Benjamin: Uh, that reminds me, I want

to ask, why do you think he doesn't want

523

his daughter hanging out with Eloise?

524

Let's get weird with it.

525

Xhafer: the, oh, okay.

526

I was gonna, the bridger's seem

to have like a reputation of like,

527

like they, they are, besides a

focal point of the story, they seem

528

to be like a well-regarded family.

529

Right?

530

So part of me is all like, it

has to be something with just

531

Eloise and not like family drama.

532

'cause if it was family drama, they

probably wouldn't have let her in,

533

Benjamin: Mm-hmm.

534

Xhafer: you know.

535

But when she comes to

visit the first time.

536

So, I don't know.

537

Um,

538

uh, she spilled something

on the mom at a big dinner.

539

Ruined a

540

Benjamin: See, I was gonna

say, there's a rumor that she

541

once spoke to a Welshman and.

542

Xhafer: Yeah.

543

Bringing back that old,

uh, that old rivalry, Ben.

544

the people of the bucket hats.

545

I don't understand.

546

This seems conflicting.

547

Benjamin: It is not my prejudices.

548

This is Regency London.

549

Xhafer: Of

550

Benjamin: You cannot be seen with her.

551

She knows a Welshman.

552

Xhafer: uh, Lord Kil Martin makes a

gesture to Francesca that causes her

553

to just be all like, I'm going home.

554

Bye.

555

Benjamin: Yeah.

556

Xhafer: And the queen is super pissed

'cause she just likes to watch.

557

Benjamin: Yeah, she's, she's up

on her, her, her cuck platform,

558

uh, being like, dance dollies.

559

He brought her lemonade, but

she's not drinking the lemonade.

560

Why is she not drinking the lemonade?

561

Uh, it's because Kill Martin has

arrived and he's like, Hey, I ran

562

off, but I was getting this for you.

563

And it was like, oh, okay.

564

I, I can see exactly what happened here.

565

He went and rearranged that

music they were talking about,

566

Xhafer: course.

567

Benjamin: uh, and she's just like,

oh, hey, this guy actually seems

568

interested in me instead of interested

in fancy queen machinations.

569

Xhafer: Uh, let's see here.

570

Um,

571

Benjamin: We have some stuff where

572

Xhafer: hella

573

Benjamin: Penelope's sisters,

other girls who live in the house,

574

they are arguing about being pres.

575

Xhafer: Uh, Colin shows up late.

576

His boys are like, Hey, after party?

577

And he's all like, no,

I'm gonna go to the thing.

578

And he jumps in the middle of

a dance, uh, with Penelope.

579

Uh.

580

And, uh, Chris said, uh, dances

with Lord gonna freeze to death

581

Benjamin: Yep.

582

Xhafer: Colin and Penelope talk.

583

Colin tries to dissuade Penelope.

584

she chases down.

585

Lord gonna freeze to death.

586

he's all like, look, you're, I'm not

doing this because you clearly love Colin.

587

Benjamin: He was looking for like,

Hey, I'm going to be like off

588

doing my own thing, and I'm looking

for a wife who is also happy,

589

chilling and doing her own thing.

590

I do not want wife.

591

Pining after the boy next door

going to bang him while I'm gone.

592

Uh,

593

Xhafer: Yeah.

594

Benjamin: I thought you were

a self-actualized human being.

595

Uh, you still have some stuff you

need on the Maslow's hierarchy that

596

I'm not going to give you, and so

you're going to be hunting elsewhere.

597

Uh, and like, I get it.

598

Um, he's just like, Hey, I,

she, I thought you'd just be

599

like chilling the library wife.

600

Not, uh, you know.

601

Longing for romantic tris wife.

602

This ain't gonna work out.

603

Xhafer: Let's see.

604

Francesca plays kil Martin's

gift as we aforementioned.

605

It's that musical number

rearranged to her preferences.

606

Uh, Colin chases down Penelope

and jumps in her carriage.

607

Benjamin: We also get a voiceover

here where, uh, Julie Andrews is

608

like, sometimes the haw must, you

know, overrides the head, but the hawk

609

knows what's, uh, what the body needs.

610

And I'm just like, have you ever seen

the seven, how 17 year olds date?

611

Uh.

612

Xhafer: Yeah, so they, they talk in this

carriage and they start to get down.

613

Benjamin: Yeah,

614

Xhafer: This carriage is a rocking,

so don't come and knocking.

615

Benjamin: he gives her the

old Northumbrian surprise.

616

And as much as I haven't liked Penelope

this episode, I'm just like Penelope.

617

No.

618

He's going to give you the syphilis

he's gotten from all the sex workers.

619

This is the 18 hundreds in London.

620

He's riddled with it.

621

Xhafer: Yeah.

622

So, uh, they, uh, they get

freaky in this carriage

623

Benjamin: It also seems that,

uh, so I'm gonna say last time

624

on this has been a three season

long or four, like in the, uh,

625

Xhafer: We're on three.

626

Yeah.

627

Benjamin: uh, four season long.

628

Uh, she's all that scenario

629

where he like.

630

Xhafer: she come down the stairs, Ben?

631

Benjamin: And it's like, wait,

oh no, she's actually beautiful.

632

And, but this was all a, a, a bet,

you know, sort of thing where it's,

633

except she knew, she was like, Hey,

can you help me find a husband?

634

And like, didn't know

it was going to be him.

635

Um, but like, he's just like,

oh no, I put in all the work and

636

made her now the, the talk of the

London season, but I want her now.

637

Uh, it's just like.

638

Okay, man, you're weird and gross

and I don't like either of you.

639

Uh.

640

Uh, but, uh, then he asks like,

Hey, uh, can we, uh, have the

641

carriage ride us around again?

642

And, and then, uh, invites her inside.

643

Uh.

644

Xhafer: Yeah.

645

And that's the episode.

646

Alright, well, uh, we

don't have dice to roll.

647

going back to, uh, Abbey next week.

648

Uh, we don't have

predictions to make, I guess.

649

Uh,

650

Benjamin: mean,

651

Xhafer: I'm not gonna watch

any more Bridgeton, uh,

652

Benjamin: yeah.

653

Give me, give me one storyline

prediction for where you like.

654

Xhafer: prediction, um, Anderson and Lady

Bridger Tin start to date, but she finds

655

the grief of her dead husband be too much.

656

uh, and as Beth go over my shoulder

right now, it's just like, Nope,

657

Benjamin: No, it ain't

that kind of show, man.

658

They bang.

659

Yeah.

660

Xhafer: They bang in.

661

Okay.

662

They bang in.

663

Okay.

664

Confirmation.

665

They bang in.

666

How about you, Ben?

667

What's your one story prediction?

668

So Beth can make awkward sex phases

over my shoulder while you say it.

669

Benjamin: Uh, my prediction is that the,

the one girl who, I forget her name,

670

but was Eloise's friend, she marries

debling and that he absolutely dies.

671

Searching for the Northw

Northwest passage.

672

He freezes to death eaten by a

bear, hooped out by an Eskimo.

673

Or no shit.

674

Eskimo.

675

We don't say that anymore.

676

Xhafer: No, we don't

677

Benjamin: Yeah.

678

Xhafer: cool.

679

Benjamin: Uh, eaten by a polar bear.

680

Polar bear gets eaten

by, by, uh, an Inuit.

681

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

682

Benjamin: poop twice

683

Xhafer: Okay.

684

Twice.

685

Twice.

686

Benjamin: 'cause a seal eats the poop.

687

Xhafer: Oh, yeah.

688

Yeah.

689

That's th th poopy twice.

690

Poopy.

691

Th poopy.

692

Doesn't matter.

693

Anyways, gonna freeze to death.

694

Th rice poopy.

695

That's your prediction.

696

Benjamin: Absolutely.

697

Xhafer: All right.

698

We have a confirmation from Beth.

699

Benjamin: But he, they

definitely bang before he dies.

700

Xhafer: oh yeah, for sure.

701

They bang.

702

Oh yeah.

703

Um, Well.

704

That's that listener.

705

Um, don't know.

706

You got anything else

you wanna talk about?

707

Ben,

708

Benjamin: I don't know.

709

I,

710

Xhafer: you wanna vamp

711

Benjamin: this is, this is interesting

just because it's an in I, I, I.

712

In my head, I am enjoying the

juxtaposition between this and Downton.

713

There is no downstairs

714

Xhafer: Right.

715

Yeah.

716

Benjamin: None of our servants or

characters, like if this was Downton,

717

whoever our carriage driver was, would

have two whole scenes where they almost

718

have a conversation about they were

banging in the back of my carriage.

719

Xhafer: Yeah.

720

Benjamin: Like they wouldn't

have a conversation, but they'd

721

almost have a conversation

because this is Downton Abbey.

722

Xhafer: Yeah.

723

Benjamin: Uh, and

724

Xhafer: I, I did feel like we were

missing the, the down below perspective,

725

uh, in this servants are potted plants

or at, at most your potted plant.

726

worst, you are dressed completely

in black and moving props

727

around as the scene changes.

728

Benjamin: yeah.

729

Xhafer: is your, that is your role here.

730

Uh.

731

Benjamin: In fact, at one point

Anderson makes his, makes the

732

servants laugh, and his sister is

like, don't treat them like people.

733

Xhafer: Yeah, it's fucking weird.

734

Well, I guess that's that.

735

Uh, we'll see you next week for Briton.

736

Season six, episode two,

I think Downton, sorry.

737

Yeah.

738

Bridgeton doesn't have six seasons.

739

We're Downton.

740

I think it was season six, episode

two, whatever we said two weeks ago.

741

I don't have it fucking

in front of me right now.

742

But before we get there, we should

of course say thank you to Ripe for

743

providing our lovely theme music.

744

Thank you so much.

745

Hey, play the game.

746

747

Just dropped four new tracks.

April Fools prank still happened.

show and let that be a surprise

761
