Transcript
Xhafer:

Hey, listener this one gets pretty heavy.

2

:

There's a fair amount of talk

about suicide in this episode, or

3

:

at the very least, expressing a

desire to no longer be living, um,

4

:

that's heavy and a difficult thing.

5

:

And if that's gonna be difficult for

you to listen to in this episode,

6

:

just go ahead and skip this one.

7

:

We'll see you next week.

8

:

That said.

9

:

Depending on where you're at in the world,

if you're having thoughts like people

10

:

don't love you or that the world would be

a better place without you, you're wrong.

11

:

Somebody out there does, somebody

cares about you, I promise.

12

:

And the world is a better place with you.

13

:

You should call 9, 8, 8 or whatever

your regional suicide hotline is.

14

:

Laura: Hello and welcome to Who Are You.

15

:

We're a reasonably well done sci-fi

watch cast by a couple of former

16

:

strangers who are now friends and

watching:

17

:

I'm Laura.

18

:

Xhafer: and I'm a thirsty boy.

19

:

I hope my giant lugging

didn't come across.

20

:

I'm jair,

21

:

Laura: I'm sure if your giant

gluing made it through the

22

:

microphone that Aaron cut it out.

23

:

Xhafer: that's why he's

the best in the biz.

24

:

Laura: He is a pro.

25

:

Xhafer: Just getting that pre-recording

giant glug on before I talk for an hour.

26

:

You know how

27

:

she

28

:

Laura: gotta gotta lube up.

29

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

30

:

So we're here, we're talking about.

31

:

Season two episode 12,

resurrection Ship part two.

32

:

It's a two-parter, and in this streaming

era, we watched 'em back to back.

33

:

So this

34

:

conversation is picking up

maybe 10 minutes after the

35

:

last episode ended for us.

36

:

For you listener.

37

:

It's been a week because to be honest,

we can't produce content like that.

38

:

Laura: How was your week though?

39

:

I hope it was good listener.

40

:

Xhafer: I hope you had a great week.

41

:

Uh, I hope the world had a great

week and that things at the very

42

:

least didn't change for the negative.

43

:

Fuck,

44

:

Laura: my, my general

hope for the next forever.

45

:

Xhafer: three years, five

months, and a couple of weeks.

46

:

No reason.

47

:

Laura: If I thought that the last time

on for the last episode was long, this

48

:

was a very, very long last time on

into the part two of Resurrection Ship.

49

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

50

:

We get

51

:

a lot

52

:

Laura: There's a lot to cover again.

53

:

We got the long spider ship.

54

:

If you've forgotten from last

week and boomer part two, we're

55

:

trying to boomer each other too.

56

:

Boomer too fast or whatever.

57

:

Xhafer: to boomer, to shooter.

58

:

I don't know.

59

:

Laura: Yeah.

60

:

Yeah.

61

:

It it's fine.

62

:

Yeah, but we're gonna open this episode

in a very peaceful Christ pose, and

63

:

I thought it was gaas again, because

we're always in gaia's mind, right?

64

:

Xhafer: I also thought it was Gais for a

moment and it wasn't until the head gets

65

:

lifted and we see that more of the hair.

66

:

Laura: uh

67

:

Xhafer: I mean they're like one,

they're actually really close friends.

68

:

Before this, they knew

each other like, 'cause

69

:

they're both British dudes.

70

:

Who came up around the same acting to the

timeframe and they're around the same age.

71

:

Laura: Lee's actor is a British dude.

72

:

Didn't know that.

73

:

Okay.

74

:

Xhafer: Um, and they look kind of

similar especially when you can't

75

:

see their eyes or their hair.

76

:

Laura: Well, yeah, he put

some like big sunglasses

77

:

Xhafer: He's got, he's got sunglasses that

are covering like a full half of his face,

78

:

so I don't feel bad about it,

but it's Lee, he's doing the

79

:

floaty thing in the water.

80

:

It's very serene.

81

:

I do this

82

:

a lot when I'm in water.

83

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

84

:

You do, you do a nice little Christ pose.

85

:

Xhafer: Well, I'm just floating.

86

:

Laura: Yeah.

87

:

In the water.

88

:

It's fun.

89

:

Right, right.

90

:

So let's see.

91

:

We've had some notable Adama Christing.

92

:

We've had notable Gaia Christing,

and now we're Lee Christing.

93

:

Very, very

94

:

Xhafer: father, the son,

and the big asshole.

95

:

Right.

96

:

That's how that goes.

97

:

Laura: Nailed it.

98

:

You nailed church affair.

99

:

Xhafer: Got it in won.

100

:

Laura: Yeah.

101

:

Well, if you know, I don't know if you

ever heard this, 'cause you're not from

102

:

like small Oklahoma town, but uh, like

at school dances, if you were too close

103

:

Xhafer: you gotta leave room for

104

:

Laura: they.

105

:

Gotta leave room for the Holy Spirit.

106

:

So if he's like in between

two people dancing, he must

107

:

be a giant asshole, right?

108

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

109

:

Laura: Yeah, yeah.

110

:

But like the sun gets really bright

in this peaceful, serene lake, and it

111

:

turns out it's actually a silent Raider.

112

:

Xhafer: It is.

113

:

It is a

114

:

ship.

115

:

Yeah.

116

:

Laura: And Lee is not floating in a lake.

117

:

He is floating in a spacesuit

in the middle of the battle

118

:

Xhafer: Does this feel familiar to you?

119

:

Laura: in media shit show.

120

:

Xhafer: Well, this exact

121

:

thing was Kara, in season one,

episode four, they used this

122

:

exact same thing where she's floating

in space, watching a battle After

123

:

her, uh, ship got blown up, I.

124

:

Laura: Oh.

125

:

I had kind of forgotten about that.

126

:

Xhafer: Yep.

127

:

Laura: It's been long enough.

128

:

I'll say they really have flip

flopped then, haven't they?

129

:

Xhafer: a hundred percent.

130

:

Laura: All of this has

happened before and will happen

131

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

132

:

Laura: And then we get the 48 hours

earlier, so we're, we're told that,

133

:

hey, we're mixing up the storytelling

134

:

Xhafer: Yeah, we're going back.

135

:

Uh, we have Karen Lee discussing

Papa's orders to kill Kane.

136

:

He agrees to help Kara, even though

he's just like, the fuck is this?

137

:

I.

138

:

Laura: Yeah, he's not happy about it,

but he is like, if we can't trust each

139

:

other, if you can't trust me to help you.

140

:

'cause she, she's like, I know you don't

wanna do this, you don't have to do this.

141

:

And he is like, but if you can't

trust me, then what do we even have?

142

:

Like without trust, we are no

different from the silence.

143

:

Xhafer: Which is an

absurd statement to make.

144

:

Like there's a bunch of other stuff

that separates you like dying or.

145

:

Reproduce, like there's all kinds of shit

that makes you different than the cys.

146

:

This is not the thing.

147

:

Laura: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

148

:

Uh, I was gonna say, I feel

like the silences have a lot

149

:

of trust between one another.

150

:

Like

151

:

they might not trust humans, but

they certainly trust one another.

152

:

I.

153

:

Okay, Lee and I just realized

as you were talking, I think I

154

:

figured out the cylon problem.

155

:

Xhafer: Hmm.

156

:

Laura: So when we were building

the Cylons, we had the slider and

157

:

we took the slider too far over

on the being able to upload and

158

:

resurrect oneself into another body.

159

:

And we didn't put enough on the

slider for reproduction, and

160

:

that's why they can't reproduce.

161

:

Xhafer: Okay.

162

:

Yeah,

163

:

yeah.

164

:

yeah.

165

:

Just fucked up the sliders a little bit.

166

:

It'll happen.

167

:

You gotta tune that shit.

168

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

169

:

Yep.

170

:

Xhafer: Some fucking assholes

go to Hilo and Terro.

171

:

They put guns of guns up their

heads so that they can tie them up.

172

:

And then we cut to theme.

173

:

Laura: Very important.

174

:

I think that.

175

:

They're just like hassling each

other, hassling Te Tyrell and

176

:

Hilo through the the glass.

177

:

And then Tyrell is the one who's like,

oh yeah, come say that to my face.

178

:

And they were just waiting for that.

179

:

Like they go straight in and

Tyre thinks that he's gonna

180

:

get like a fair fight, I guess.

181

:

Xhafer: Right.

182

:

Yeah.

183

:

These guys with guns

aren't gonna get involved.

184

:

Right?

185

:

The two

186

:

Laura: Yeah.

187

:

These guys who like willingly

partook in rape, torture.

188

:

As the aggressors, are gonna

give you a fair fist fight.

189

:

Okay.

190

:

And immediately they're just like

cuffing them to stuff and gonna

191

:

give them the old thorn treatment.

192

:

Xhafer: Yep.

193

:

Survivor count 4 9 6 0 4.

194

:

Unchanged.

195

:

Laura: Right.

196

:

It's only been like a day

197

:

Xhafer: Well,

198

:

Laura: max.

199

:

Xhafer: Back from theme and they are

getting beat up with soap and towels.

200

:

I had always heard oranges

and socks, but hey.

201

:

Laura: Huh, I hadn't

heard either of those.

202

:

And orange seems like it

could be too, too soft, right?

203

:

Xhafer: Well, the point

is to not leave bruises.

204

:

I don't think they're concerned

about that right now though.

205

:

Laura: Oh yeah.

206

:

No, I don't think they care.

207

:

They, as far as they care,

these are two dead men anyway.

208

:

who's gonna care about bruises

on their body after we shoot

209

:

them in the firing squad, right.

210

:

Teel calls them cowards and so

they start beating him harder.

211

:

But Fisk catches them and orders them out.

212

:

Xhafer: Yep.

213

:

They

214

:

thank him.

215

:

He does not want the thanks and

reaffirms that this bizarre and frankly

216

:

ugly opinion that silences aren't

alive, so they cannot be assaulted.

217

:

Laura: Yeah.

218

:

He was doing so well,

like breaking this up.

219

:

He, he doesn't like punish the

guys, but he gets them outta there

220

:

Xhafer: They are assaulting an officer,

which is what these guys are in jail for.

221

:

So,

222

:

Laura: he should have

maybe done a little more.

223

:

Right.

224

:

But he's doing more than anybody

else on Pegasus would, it seems like.

225

:

And he even gives the

guards like a stiff look.

226

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

227

:

Laura: That made me laugh.

228

:

And I don't know at this moment, I was

like, yeah, Fisk is not great, but I

229

:

don't know that he's gonna do this.

230

:

Like if he's ordered.

231

:

To do the Boomer, is he

actually gonna do it?

232

:

Xhafer: His allegiance is

a bit of a question mark

233

:

because he clearly is terrified of Kane.

234

:

Laura: Yeah,

235

:

for

236

:

Xhafer: And if he had an

opportunity to get away from

237

:

that, it would be through Adama.

238

:

Laura: Yeah.

239

:

Mm-hmm.

240

:

Yep.

241

:

And, and he's buddying with Saul.

242

:

Like he and Saul kind

of feel for each other.

243

:

Like they both know, like, this sucks

and we're in maybe one of the hardest

244

:

positions out of the entire crew, and

they're like doing some bonding over that.

245

:

So maybe, maybe Fisk can be turned around.

246

:

Maybe he's not all rotten in the core.

247

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

248

:

Uh, what follows is Kane and Kara

having a drink while discussing

249

:

a little bit of everything.

250

:

Laura: Yeah, we can't, uh, let it slide.

251

:

That specs talks about drinking to

excess and ca has to let her know.

252

:

I know about Colonel Tai,

253

:

Xhafer: yeah, yeah.

254

:

Laura: know about his

255

:

Xhafer: You clocked him.

256

:

Good for you.

257

:

Fuck that guy.

258

:

Laura: Yeah.

259

:

Xhafer: that guy.

260

:

Um, this show is so, so fucking

good because Kane is like.

261

:

You know, there will come a time when

you'll have to make a decision that

262

:

will save other people from dying.

263

:

And in that moment when it

comes, you cannot hesitate.

264

:

You have to do the thing you know needs

to be done no matter how difficult it is.

265

:

And Cain is basically convincing

Kara to go through with killing Kane.

266

:

They don't say it.

267

:

Right, but that's what's on her

mind and that's the thing that

268

:

she's struggling with right now.

269

:

And that's, Kane sees

that she's struggling.

270

:

She recognizes that in her,

she's struggling with something

271

:

and she needs her to execute,

you know, on the mission.

272

:

But also, I'm pretty

sure Kane knows, we'll

273

:

talk about it more later.

274

:

Laura: Uhhuh.

275

:

Okay.

276

:

Xhafer: Um, because this is not

the, the moment that tells me

277

:

that Kane knows, but I think.

278

:

I think.

279

:

she understands.

280

:

Laura: Yeah, no, and she, the way

she phrases this, she talks about,

281

:

committing horrible sins and she's doing

it to try to keep from putting more of

282

:

her children in body bags, basically.

283

:

I.

284

:

Struggle a little bit with that

characterization like that,

285

:

I don't know, horrible sins

was some strong, strong words,

286

:

Xhafer: I mean, nobody

thinks they're evil,

287

:

right.

288

:

You know, if you do evil shit, you're

doing it because you've convinced

289

:

yourself it's the right thing to do,

290

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

291

:

Xhafer: not because you think

it's evil, and you are a villain

292

:

in a poorly written movie.

293

:

Laura: Yeah.

294

:

Xhafer: how brains work, that's

not how empathy, how humans work.

295

:

Um, so there's a bit

of that here for sure.

296

:

You know, she has done

some undeniably evil shit.

297

:

Laura: Yeah.

298

:

Xhafer: She's, she's ordered for

some terrible, terrible things

299

:

to happen and she knows that.

300

:

She has done it for the greater good

of saving humanity because in her

301

:

mind, the only path forward is for

them to defeat the silence so that they

302

:

can be free to have a species again.

303

:

Laura: Right, right.

304

:

Xhafer: So

305

:

she does, she doesn't waver on that.

306

:

Laura: mm-hmm.

307

:

I struggle

308

:

with.

309

:

Yeah, I struggle with that.

310

:

Like, oh, I am mindlessly fixed on.

311

:

We need to destroy silence so

we can have a species again.

312

:

When we know that Cain left civilians

defenseless, like crippled and

313

:

defenseless, like, how are you gonna

start this human race over with a

314

:

thousand people on your ship, Ms.

315

:

Kane?

316

:

Like genetics don't

work, doesn't work out.

317

:

It like if, if you didn't save

those civilians, then what

318

:

are you, what are you doing?

319

:

Xhafer: Yeah, she skipped, uh, her

like genetics and populations classes

320

:

at the, uh, colonial Military Academy,

321

:

Laura: Yeah.

322

:

Xhafer: like when

323

:

Laura: And she doesn't have a

guy on board to like do the math.

324

:

Xhafer: Like what's like the genetic

diversity required to ensure that

325

:

the civilization doesn't inbred

itself in a number of generations?

326

:

You know, that's a question she's

never bothered to ask herself.

327

:

Laura: Right, right.

328

:

I mean, we were concerned

about the 45,000.

329

:

Right.

330

:

So a thousand, I don't

think it's gonna cut it.

331

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

332

:

This show is

333

:

So

334

:

fucking good.

335

:

This scene with Kane and Kara

is probably one of my absolute

336

:

favorites in the entire show.

337

:

Laura: It got me real worried.

338

:

I'm worried for star bes.

339

:

Xhafer: I mean, it's, it's doing

its job as a scene for sure.

340

:

Um, just like the layers of

conversation and stuff, it's ugh, a

341

:

Laura: Yeah.

342

:

Xhafer: Leave volunteers for a

courier run to go talk to Papa

343

:

Dama about what he's asked of.

344

:

Kara, he learns that Rosalyn is

in on this plan too, and this

345

:

clearly changes things for him.

346

:

Laura: Yeah, it bothers him

that this is Mommy's idea.

347

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

348

:

Mommy's supposed to be the, the

righteous, innocent kind of like,

349

:

let's, we'll, everything will be fine.

350

:

One not.

351

:

Laura: We can all work together.

352

:

Let's have a few rounds of

Kumbaya, like hold hands.

353

:

We're gonna get through this.

354

:

And mommy is ordering

assassinations in the military.

355

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

356

:

Laura: So yeah, they are

gonna have a little moment.

357

:

And then Lee is gonna go

have a private freak out.

358

:

Xhafer: Yeah, we get a montage

of mission prep after this.

359

:

The colonel and captain.

360

:

Pass each other in the hallway,

each witching each other.

361

:

Good hunting before they go

on their respective missions

362

:

followed by assassinations.

363

:

Laura: Uh,

364

:

I, I was like, star bes has

to know this too, right?

365

:

Xhafer: Yeah, he's rolling out

with a ton of Marines like, hmm.

366

:

Laura: Yeah, and the fact that

she wishes him good hunting when

367

:

like he's not actually going

to do anything theoretically.

368

:

I mean, I guess the idea is

that the Marines are there

369

:

in case they get boarded,

370

:

that Galactica gets boarded,

they've sent extra Marines.

371

:

That's probably the excuse,

but I mean, come on.

372

:

Xhafer: Fisk, Informs Ty of his

presence on the ship and that the

373

:

Marines will be there while Adama

looks at his giant chest scar.

374

:

Laura: I was really worried as

I'm writing about this scene, he's

375

:

staring in the mirror at his scar.

376

:

I'm writing, so I'm not

watching, watching everything.

377

:

And then all of a sudden I hear

him tell the guards to leave them

378

:

alone and then boomer's there.

379

:

And I'm like, is he still like

half naked talking to Boomer and

380

:

saying, leave the guards outside.

381

:

'cause this is weird and I don't like it.

382

:

Xhafer: Look at this giant

chest scar I have from when one

383

:

of your, uh, siblings shot me.

384

:

Laura: Yeah.

385

:

I was freaked out, but it turns out he

actually had his clothes back on, so

386

:

it's cool, but, or, uh, Sharon is fine.

387

:

Xhafer: yeah.

388

:

She brings up his speech from Galata

'cause decommissioning ceremony.

389

:

Does humanity deserve to survive,

is a question that they've never

390

:

bothered to ask themselves.

391

:

Laura: Wait, okay.

392

:

Maybe was that televised?

393

:

The decommissioning ceremony.

394

:

Okay.

395

:

I was like, wait, how

does she know about that?

396

:

Xhafer: Well, she was on Galactica.

397

:

Well, a Sharon was,

398

:

Laura: Yes.

399

:

Xhafer: boomer was in

attendance of that speech.

400

:

Laura: Right.

401

:

And I guess Boomer was probably

transmitting something at that time,

402

:

unknowingly transmitting some stuff.

403

:

But it still should be weird for

Adama to, if it hadn't been televised.

404

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

405

:

Laura: To be like, how the

fuck do you know about that?

406

:

You know, like even

though we know Cylons have

407

:

weird stuff,

408

:

Xhafer: I mean, she remembers her

relationship with the chief and stuff.

409

:

There's things that this,

410

:

that, that Sharon knows about that

are definitely Boomer centric,

411

:

but it's not like everything.

412

:

It's kind of, they, they, they kind

of play it fast and loose with it

413

:

when it's convenient, you know?

414

:

So,

415

:

Laura: Well, and I think she, she

says she doesn't know much about

416

:

the relationship with the chief.

417

:

I don't know that that's true.

418

:

Xhafer: Yeah, I mean it's like,

it's weird like that, I guess.

419

:

I mean,

420

:

I have a very good memory, like

it's not a hundred percent all the

421

:

time, but I do have like a ton of

like very photographic memories.

422

:

In my brains it does.

423

:

It's not consistent, but I will remember

things like about meeting people sometimes

424

:

that I know if I were to tell them,

would freak them the fuck out.

425

:

Like what

426

:

I'll like, I'll walk into a

restaurant and be like, oh, we

427

:

had dinner here six months ago.

428

:

We sat at that table, we ordered this.

429

:

I was wearing this.

430

:

You were wearing this.

431

:

Like, I've got that

level of memory sometimes

432

:

and.

433

:

I can't say a lot of it out loud

when it hap when I, when it,

434

:

when I remember something like

that, I can't communicate it.

435

:

'cause people get fucking

freaked out naturally.

436

:

Right.

437

:

It's fucking weird,

438

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

439

:

Xhafer: um, to remember

that stuff sometimes.

440

:

It's like, why would you even, and

it's just like, it's just my brain.

441

:

I gotta imagine it's like that for her.

442

:

Like if she were to say things that

she has those memories of, it would

443

:

be very jarring for other people.

444

:

Laura: Yeah.

445

:

Terl would probably be

pretty upset if she do.

446

:

If she expressed that she knew a

whole bunch of stuff I don't know

447

:

that that matters at this point.

448

:

It would almost be kinder to freak teel

out and make him not wanna be near you,

449

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

450

:

Laura: as we can discuss

at the end of this episode.

451

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

452

:

Laura: But yeah, maybe humanity

doesn't deserve to survive.

453

:

And then we're in battle already.

454

:

Xhafer: Oh yeah.

455

:

yeah.

456

:

We cut to mid mission.

457

:

We see one of the silent Bay stars

has taken a bunch of fire as both

458

:

the battle stars launch on it.

459

:

While Lee Mo moves in on the resurrection

ship, he takes out its FTL Drive as

460

:

the Blackbird gets hit by some debris.

461

:

Lee Auto ejects.

462

:

And then it starts to run away.

463

:

The Vipers launch Search and Rescue

Raptors going after Lee as he

464

:

finds a small leak in his suit.

465

:

And Galactica, CIC kind of

hears all about all this stuff.

466

:

As Marines enter with fis

467

:

all very quickly, a

bunch of stuff happens.

468

:

Laura: yeah, Adama is very calm as he

orders for the rescue, and this was one

469

:

of those moments as I'm watching it, you

know, we don't see like a whole tense

470

:

Lee going in and getting into the ship

and finding his target and all that.

471

:

Like we've just jumped.

472

:

Into battle.

473

:

He's already there.

474

:

He's already got Target.

475

:

And so, you know, when you're making

that kind of a jump in the story that

476

:

like something worse is gonna happen

because we're not ramping up tension

477

:

with like the Death Star run or anything.

478

:

Like, we're just there and

it was fine, and you're like,

479

:

oh no, it's gonna get worse.

480

:

So yeah, he's.

481

:

Out in space.

482

:

And at one point he looks at

the air gauge, I think, and can

483

:

see that like he's, he's leaking

from that hole quite a lot.

484

:

But I love the shots of

him watching the battle.

485

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

486

:

Laura: Like that work that

they did is really good.

487

:

Xhafer: Yeah, it's, yeah, it's so good.

488

:

Over on Pegasus Geis is with

Gina, and while six PT is like,

489

:

pick me, she can't help you.

490

:

Like I can help you.

491

:

And I'm just like, man, I.

492

:

I find this completely unrelatable.

493

:

Like I do not understand being

jealous of not ghost you as you exist

494

:

in this person.

495

:

Like it's so abstract at this point

that her jealousy is so alien to me

496

:

that I just cannot understand it.

497

:

Laura: It's weird.

498

:

Well, to me, the whole fact

that like Gaas is with Gina

499

:

right now is also weird to me.

500

:

Like when you're going into this

battle, wouldn't you be like, sorry,

501

:

GAAS, you need to go be somewhere else.

502

:

You can't be with the silent

prisoner right now, like.

503

:

The fact that nobody was thinking

like, we should probably just like

504

:

secure her for now, and Gais needs

to go back to Galactica or go hang

505

:

out with the president or whatever.

506

:

Like while we're doing this big mission,

weird oversight to leave him in here.

507

:

Um, but yeah, six PT.

508

:

Jealous of herself.

509

:

It seems like is this another argument for

actually like a defect in gaia's brain?

510

:

Like not an actual six or six personality?

511

:

I don't know.

512

:

Like, but yeah, it, it, when he

makes this choice to take care

513

:

of Gina six, PT disappears.

514

:

She's

515

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

516

:

Laura: Really unhappy and it's so

weird that he starts parroting back

517

:

to Gina what six PT told him in the

last episode about missing sports.

518

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

519

:

He quotes six PTs thing about feeling

the waves of emotion from the stands

520

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

521

:

Xhafer: ball game.

522

:

Yeah.

523

:

Laura: And I, and I always had two tickets

'cause I wanted you to come with me

524

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

525

:

Laura: or something.

526

:

And six, six PT is like, how dare you?

527

:

Xhafer: That's fair.

528

:

Laura: Yeah.

529

:

Yeah.

530

:

But I, I don't understand, I,

531

:

Xhafer: Yeah, it's fucking weird.

532

:

Laura: understand why she, I

mean if, if Caprica six or.

533

:

That that Caprica six, I don't

know if she actually blew up in

534

:

the nuclear explosion or not.

535

:

I'm just gonna call her Caprica six.

536

:

But if that Caprica six had really

done that, had really like gone

537

:

to the Pyramid Games, getting two

tickets, one and Gais to come with

538

:

Xhafer: And never asked him.

539

:

Yeah.

540

:

Laura: wouldn't Gina know that like.

541

:

Unless maybe not all the information

uploads or maybe that Capric six

542

:

really did never make it back, and

she just jumped into Gaas instead.

543

:

I don't know.

544

:

Xhafer: I mean, the other

thing is that like, you know,

545

:

I Gina's been through a lot,

546

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

547

:

Xhafer: maybe her

memories are a bit jumbly.

548

:

She hears this thing and it's

relatable to her, and she doesn't

549

:

understand that it's her memory

that's being described back to her

550

:

Laura: Yeah.

551

:

Xhafer: trauma will do that.

552

:

Laura: Yeah.

553

:

Gais.

554

:

I, I don't know.

555

:

This doesn't seem good.

556

:

Xhafer: No, it's not.

557

:

It's

558

:

not good and it's, it's

very bad and just you wait.

559

:

I.

560

:

You, you, you couldn't even guess

561

:

where this storyline goes in.

562

:

I don't know how many episodes

offhand, but I'm gonna just say five.

563

:

Laura: I was like, man, I don't know.

564

:

'cause he seems to be doing the

thing of like, I can fix her.

565

:

Jaffer is making the face

and spoilers for life.

566

:

Everyone, the I can fix

them never goes well.

567

:

So.

568

:

I don't think it's gonna go well for Mr.

569

:

Gaas.

570

:

Baltar either.

571

:

Xhafer: Don't fix people.

572

:

People

573

:

fi one fix People hopefully

will fix themselves.

574

:

You don't fix people.

575

:

You can help someone grow,

but you're not fixing them.

576

:

They're

577

:

gonna, they, they will fix

themselves or they won't.

578

:

Laura: Right?

579

:

Yeah.

580

:

Never ever think you can fix people.

581

:

That's my life lesson for today.

582

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

583

:

Laura: Yeah, so Lee is floating still.

584

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

585

:

He's just missing all of Dee's calls.

586

:

Laura: yeah.

587

:

D Dee's calling and he can't answer.

588

:

It seems like, whether he

can't answer because there

589

:

is something physically wrong

590

:

with him or because he is so mentally

short circuited at this moment.

591

:

Unclear.

592

:

He's back floating in the lake.

593

:

He tries to say something

to Dee, but passes out.

594

:

And then Aaron and I were arguing

about whether in the lake if he's

595

:

sunburned, 'cause he's like very red

all of a sudden and the glasses are off.

596

:

Or if the lake is like super

cold and he's turned red.

597

:

But I am, I'm voting sunburn.

598

:

Xhafer: Seems pretty bright.

599

:

Laura: Yeah, there was that bright sun.

600

:

That

601

:

Xhafer: He spends almost

all of his time indoors, so

602

:

Laura: Yeah.

603

:

Pretty, pretty pale British man.

604

:

Xhafer: One of the bay stars goes down is

the Vipers destroyed the resurrection ship

605

:

race track finds Lee and saves him, and

the remaining silent ships all jump away.

606

:

We did it guys.

607

:

There's only

608

:

15 minutes or 30 minutes of

episode left or whatever we're at.

609

:

Laura: Yeah, yeah, no,

like a lot happened there.

610

:

It was pretty fast.

611

:

And Lee was like drowning in the

lake as the Raptor pulls up to him.

612

:

So that was like a good

613

:

visual.

614

:

Um,

615

:

and yeah, we did it.

616

:

Pegasus hears that the resurrection

ship has been destroyed.

617

:

And Gina knows too.

618

:

We get the flash

619

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

620

:

She feels the, the, the cloud connection.

621

:

Drop G Gina

622

:

lost her wifi signal.

623

:

Now the drama begins.

624

:

Laura: Yeah, we have literal

ticking in the soundtrack.

625

:

Tick, tick, tick.

626

:

Xhafer: Uh, Starbucks slow marches

to CNC on Pegasus as Fisk and the

627

:

Marines haunt CIC on Galactica.

628

:

Laura: There is so much sweating.

629

:

Fisk is sweating to commercial.

630

:

Starbuck is sweating.

631

:

Xhafer: There is, there's more sweaty

than a magic tournament in here.

632

:

It's bad.

633

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

634

:

Yeah.

635

:

Gaas.

636

:

Gaas is sweating.

637

:

So like Gina is telling him,

yep, it's, I'm ready to die now.

638

:

And Kaas is just.

639

:

Sweating at her.

640

:

Xhafer: Kain tells Starbuck that she's so

very proud of her and then calls Adama.

641

:

They're talking for a minute.

642

:

Adama talks to Starbuck and doesn't

give the code word, and then Kane

643

:

follows suit.

644

:

They both decide against assassination.

645

:

Laura: I

646

:

Xhafer: I am a hundred

percent convinced here.

647

:

Laura: the Kane knew.

648

:

Xhafer: Can do.

649

:

Laura: Well, I wondered because

what Adama says to Starbuck is that

650

:

it's not enough to just survive.

651

:

We have to be worthy of that

652

:

survival and then doesn't give

the code word and all that.

653

:

And I was like, I wonder if Kane

could hear him, like if she could

654

:

hear him on the phone or if there

was some sort of like she had some

655

:

sort of bug device or something.

656

:

And that convinced her

also not to make the call.

657

:

I don't know, or I guess she might have

been prepared in some way that she knew

658

:

if Starbuck was gonna try to shoot her.

659

:

She had a plan and then she

would have Fisk take Alma out.

660

:

I don't know.

661

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

662

:

I don't know.

663

:

I think she knows.

664

:

I think she wants to die.

665

:

I think she knows she's a problem.

666

:

I

667

:

think she knows that her time is

668

:

done.

669

:

I think she knows that her

way of doing things isn't

670

:

going to work with this fleet.

671

:

Laura: Yeah, like once she saw all those

civilians and there's a president, even

672

:

if she was a school teacher or whatever,

everyone says derogatorily about her.

673

:

Like, how many ships did

we say were in the fleet?

674

:

Xhafer: There's 30 or something.

675

:

There's, there's a bunch

676

:

40, maybe 50 I think.

677

:

Okay.

678

:

So like how many episodes ago

when the, this fleet split?

679

:

They said like 20 ships went

and they think, they said

680

:

it was a third of the fleet.

681

:

So there's like

682

:

60 ships in the Flotilla.

683

:

Laura: Mm-hmm.

684

:

Yeah, and they, they've like made a

honest to God attempt at government,

685

:

like not only do we have the president,

we did a whole thing where we had

686

:

a vice president and we had an

election, and we've got a quorum of 12.

687

:

Like we're really trying to do the thing.

688

:

And especially if those people find out

what she did to the other civilians,

689

:

Xhafer: Oh yeah,

690

:

Laura: it's not gonna work.

691

:

Xhafer: for sure.

692

:

Yeah, I think she knows, I

think she's expecting Starbuck

693

:

to shoot her right here.

694

:

Um, and that she had Jack in

place in case Starbuck fails

695

:

Laura: Yeah.

696

:

Xhafer: and Starbuck doesn't fail, so

she doesn't order the assassination.

697

:

Laura: Yeah.

698

:

Xhafer: there's like this

smirk that goes across her

699

:

face when Starbucks says,

I think that's wise.

700

:

Laura: and Fisk is like, so, I mean, I

don't know this actor's name 'cause I

701

:

am absorbing them little by little and

he's not been around long enough, but

702

:

his facial expressions are so good, like.

703

:

So, so good.

704

:

You can see the terror on his face the

whole time, and he, he's like horrified

705

:

that she wants to talk to him and

she just says, Hey, good job buddy.

706

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

707

:

Laura: That's it.

708

:

Xhafer: That's

709

:

Laura: Bye.

710

:

And the relief when he

gets just a good job.

711

:

Bye.

712

:

Ty tells him he could, he looks like he

could use a drink and he just has this

713

:

like raucous laughter of like, and, and

it's not totally outta place because

714

:

it's like one of those things when

you've had this big battle operation,

715

:

like you might have this reaction at

the end when everything's over and you

716

:

realize you're safe of, of laughter.

717

:

Like that's a thing we've

seen in media before.

718

:

But we, the audience know

like what it's really about.

719

:

So Gais and Gina are

doing a ruse on the guard.

720

:

They knock him out for his gun.

721

:

Do you think they knocked him

out or do you think he's dead?

722

:

Xhafer: Subtitles on said neck cracks.

723

:

Gita goes over there and snaps it so.

724

:

Laura: Okay.

725

:

He's dead.

726

:

And I, I kind of thought he must have

to be because of like Gaas being there.

727

:

If he woke up and is like, how did

the silent escape, like Gaas is

728

:

kind of gaas and his word against

each other would not be very smooth.

729

:

Like Gaas is just Bumble fuck Gaas.

730

:

And these things happen around him.

731

:

Xhafer: Fuck guy.

732

:

Laura: So everyone on Galactic

is gonna roll their eyes and

733

:

be like, God, this guy again.

734

:

You know?

735

:

Um, but if the guard has things

to say, that would be a problem.

736

:

Xhafer: Yeah,

737

:

Laura: So he did.

738

:

Okay.

739

:

Xhafer: did.

740

:

Laura: she's trying to get guys to shoot

741

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

742

:

But suicide is a sin.

743

:

She doesn't wanna die with sin.

744

:

So, uh, guy

745

:

needs to kill her and he's just

like, fucking, no, you don't

746

:

need death.

747

:

You need justice.

748

:

I know a place I can hide you.

749

:

Here's the gun.

750

:

Laura: Where do we think that place is?

751

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

752

:

Laura: It's not Galactica.

753

:

I mean, I guess we're

gonna find out right?

754

:

I'm getting in the

755

:

Xhafer: Yeah, you get in the face,

I think you find out next episode.

756

:

Um,

757

:

it, it will not be a surprise

nor something that has

758

:

never been mentioned before.

759

:

Laura: Yeah, I was like, I

feel like it's Zurich, right?

760

:

Zurich is the last

761

:

Xhafer: it's not like guidance has

some surprise ship that he hangs

762

:

out in sometimes when he is not on

Galactica that they just never bothered

763

:

to build a set for or something

764

:

like you'll hear and you go, oh yeah, of

765

:

course.

766

:

Um, so I won't say

767

:

Laura: We are gonna put

her on, um, what was that?

768

:

Cloud nine is the luxury liner.

769

:

Xhafer: That's, yeah.

770

:

Laura: Poster her up in

the hotel with Zurich.

771

:

Xhafer: Uh,

772

:

Laura: don't know,

773

:

Xhafer: out next step.

774

:

I think next step, if not

the episode after, it's fine.

775

:

You'll find out soon.

776

:

Laura: Yeah.

777

:

It feels like, we can't leave

this hanging for too long.

778

:

But yeah, he's gonna take her somewhere

and he's gonna look after her.

779

:

He's gonna take care of

780

:

her.

781

:

And he's gonna fix her.

782

:

Xhafer: But before then

she's gonna get that justice.

783

:

Uh, we cut over to Kane's quarters where

Gina is waiting and she kills the admiral.

784

:

Laura: Yeah.

785

:

She throws her own words back at her

about, can you roll over, can you beg?

786

:

Of course, Kane does not.

787

:

And we just get quick bullet to the

788

:

head, Right in the face.

789

:

Xhafer: Lee's pretty fucked up here.

790

:

He's laying in bed.

791

:

He's still kind of out of it.

792

:

And we cut over to Fisk conducting

Kane's military funeral.

793

:

Laura: Yeah, it's, it's

nice enough, right?

794

:

I got a little nervous when he

pledged to uphold her values.

795

:

'cause some of those values,

man, I think we could, we might,

796

:

could let some of them go.

797

:

Xhafer: I mean, it's a lot of

posturing when you take over a

798

:

ship in this means, I'm sure.

799

:

Laura: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

800

:

And for some reason,

star Bes is gonna talk,

801

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

802

:

Laura: star Bes, who's known

her for Chex Watch three days.

803

:

Xhafer: I mean, she even acknowledges

that like, Hey, I haven't known that long.

804

:

Laura: Yeah, I was like, I don't know, you

probably should have passed on this one.

805

:

But she's gotta let the audience know

that she's making her turn to dark star

806

:

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

807

:

Laura: She's definitely getting dark.

808

:

And the dark truth that she shares

with everyone is that we were

809

:

safer with her than we are without,

810

:

Xhafer: Yep.

811

:

Eh.

812

:

Laura: uh.

813

:

I don't know if all those civilians were,

814

:

Xhafer: Hey Aaron, quick question.

815

:

Asking for a friend.

816

:

The friend is you.

817

:

How do you make two podcast hosts

going, eh, at the same time?

818

:

The title of an episode?

819

:

Laura: I, I think we've dropped

a couple of good ones throughout

820

:

here.

821

:

I was

822

:

like,

823

:

Xhafer: yeah, for sure.

824

:

Laura: we are, we're doing good

today, especially for a back to back.

825

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

826

:

Laura: Okay.

827

:

So Starbeck is gonna try to talk to Lee

828

:

Xhafer: Yeah, he's pretty upset.

829

:

He feels like he's let

Kara down by getting hit.

830

:

Um, Dee is listening to

this all in the hallway.

831

:

They cut to her a couple

of times very quickly.

832

:

Laura: Why is D listening

to this in the hallway?

833

:

Why D Hmm hmm.

834

:

She's, I mean.

835

:

Is it natural that because she's

like the communications officer, she

836

:

also wants to know all the hot goss?

837

:

Xhafer: I know everything that

gets communicated off of the ship.

838

:

Dammit.

839

:

I'll know everything that

gets communicated on it.

840

:

Laura: Yeah.

841

:

I could see that being like a

unofficial part of the position is

842

:

like if you are handling all the

channels, you also have to know

843

:

like all of the,

844

:

Xhafer: she's got cameras

and mics everywhere.

845

:

There's actually an un shot script

that is D alone on Galactica for some

846

:

reason, and home alone's the place.

847

:

God, I'd watch that episode.

848

:

Laura: Oh, if only she could do

all the like traps for those Cy

849

:

Xhafer: For sure.

850

:

Oh

851

:

Yeah.

852

:

Yeah.

853

:

She's got traps everywhere.

854

:

A hundred percent

855

:

Laura: Yeah.

856

:

The cys like stepping in hot tar as

they try to come down the hallway,

857

:

their feet melt to the bulkheads.

858

:

Xhafer: warm up the doorknob

when they try to turn it.

859

:

Yeah.

860

:

Laura: With their, with their scary razor

861

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

862

:

Their hand gets like

melted to the doorknob.

863

:

Ah.

864

:

Laura: Yeah, no.

865

:

Um, she's like, man, it's fine.

866

:

Like people get hit sometimes.

867

:

Like, you didn't let me down.

868

:

It's just the luck of the draw.

869

:

And he's like, actually it wasn't.

870

:

Just that like, and we start to think that

maybe he could have called home at any

871

:

time and just didn't.

872

:

Xhafer: He just really doesn't

want to hear Dre's voice.

873

:

It's like someone else, please Gada.

874

:

Sure.

875

:

I'll pick up D though.

876

:

Laura: Yeah, I feel like she's doing

too much gossiping behind my back.

877

:

Xhafer: yeah.

878

:

Laura: Don't want her to know.

879

:

No he's not so glad to be alive.

880

:

Starbuck is trying to say,

I'm just glad you're here.

881

:

And he's like, Hmm, I'm not

882

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

883

:

Big,

884

:

Laura: so.

885

:

We've got Starbeck turning into Dark Star

bes and we've got Lee turning into, sadly.

886

:

Xhafer: Not the most ridiculously phase.

887

:

We'll get on this show.

888

:

Put a pin in

889

:

that for season

890

:

Laura: no, I mean we've already had like

891

:

Xhafer: Oh,

892

:

believe me, I, everyone listening who's

seen this show, knows exactly what

893

:

I'm talking about right now without

me needing to say anything else.

894

:

Laura: Okay.

895

:

Xhafer: You'll find out soon enough.

896

:

Laura: I'm, I'm not criticizing

sadly, like this is just a phase

897

:

that he's going into, right.

898

:

Because we've already had petulant

childly and like sadly is at least

899

:

like reflecting on some stuff.

900

:

Xhafer: depression Lee, um, is a thing

that we'll be reckoning with for a minute.

901

:

Laura: Yeah.

902

:

And you know, fair.

903

:

Yeah.

904

:

Yeah.

905

:

Xhafer: Speaking of making it back though,

Helo and Chief say, Hey to Sharon, at

906

:

least they go to say, Hey, and then helos

there, and then chiefs all like, oh,

907

:

this got super awkward, super quick peace

and just kind of sneaks out the back.

908

:

Laura: Yeah, they're just like

this weird little triad that can't

909

:

admit like what they are and, and

also she's not the same person as.

910

:

Terl had been with sort of, I don't know.

911

:

It's weird, and I don't know if

this is gonna be the end of this

912

:

or not, but I kinda hope it is.

913

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

914

:

Laura: I mean, I thought when

we had the stupid Sharon phone

915

:

call that we didn't hear.

916

:

You know it's at the end of the

episode and it just cuts off.

917

:

And I was like, shit.

918

:

Well, I hope that's the end of it.

919

:

I hope that was ti old being

like I'm through, but I kind

920

:

of feel like it's probably not.

921

:

Xhafer: Hmm.

922

:

Laura: Who

923

:

knows?

924

:

But we're gonna end this episode.

925

:

Mommy and daddy are gonna talk

with our son, Billy, our other son.

926

:

Xhafer: Our stepson, I don't know.

927

:

It's weird, but you are here, so

928

:

Laura: Maybe he's the

nephew we had to adopt.

929

:

I.

930

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

931

:

Nobody knows how Gina

escaped, but she did.

932

:

Laura needs a nap, but Bill won't be

getting one since he's now a damn roll.

933

:

A dom roll.

934

:

I don't know.

935

:

We'll workshop it after.

936

:

Uh, Now it is.

937

:

Colonial tradition that this

promotion is only granted by

938

:

smooches with the president.

939

:

Uh, historically a very awkward

ceremony regardless of any

940

:

context but it kind of works here.

941

:

Laura: All right.

942

:

I'll admit it.

943

:

I fucking loved this.

944

:

I want mommy and daddy to

be together, to be together.

945

:

I want them to be happy.

946

:

I don't care that mommy's a silent.

947

:

I want them to be happy.

948

:

And it was very cute, although the

president was kinda like, oh my.

949

:

Yeah.

950

:

And he, you know, she tells

him to never give up hope.

951

:

She's like, I'm so glad you didn't

have to do that thing that I did.

952

:

And that the silent did it for us.

953

:

And he doesn't say, I was

not gonna do it, sorry.

954

:

but she says, never give up hope.

955

:

And he tells her the same and

gives her a s moochie kiss.

956

:

And I just really liked it.

957

:

I'm shipping it hard,

958

:

uh, but then Billy has to

practically carry her away

959

:

because she is very, very frail.

960

:

Xhafer: Yeah.

961

:

And that's it.

962

:

That's the episode we got

through the two-parter.

963

:

Laura: Oh, thank God.

964

:

Xhafer: All right, well, on a scale

of one to 12 colonies, where you at?

965

:

Laura: I give it 12 smooch kisses.

966

:

Xhafer: 12 Smooch kisses.

967

:

Laura: I love it and I was really, I

mean, relieved that we wrote this the way

968

:

that we did that our daddy Adama didn't

have to take the dark turn as well,

969

:

although I'm very worried about Darby's,

970

:

very worried about that.

971

:

Um, daddy Doma didn't take the dark turn.

972

:

Admiral Kane turned out better

than I thought, and was.

973

:

I mean, Gina got justice.

974

:

I don't know that Gina's

gonna be not a problem.

975

:

I think she's gonna be a big problem.

976

:

But at least the humans got

to be better than I feared.

977

:

So,

978

:

Xhafer: Yep.

979

:

Just uh, well, you'll see

980

:

Laura: yeah.

981

:

Oh, you didn't tell me your rating.

982

:

Xhafer: Oh, okay.

983

:

Laura: Unless you wanna be

12 smooch kisses with me.

984

:

Xhafer: I, I had written down

in 11, but I had also written

985

:

down, I don't know, talk it out.

986

:

Um, so.

987

:

I, I like this episode a lot.

988

:

Um, I

989

:

like the previous episode a lot.

990

:

Like I said, one of my favorite

three parters of all time, not my

991

:

most favorite, that's in Babylon

five, but really enjoyed this app.

992

:

Uh, I think of the three, I don't

know where I'd put this in comparison.

993

:

Um, I think last episode's

probably my favorite of the three.

994

:

Laura: okay.

995

:

Xhafer: Um, really, really

enjoyed this episode though.

996

:

Um.

997

:

It's a lot of resolution, a lot of stuff

we've been building for in episodes

998

:

before Pegasus comes to fruition here.

999

:

And there's also a lot of stuff that

will pay off in coming episodes here.

:

00:46:59,197 --> 00:47:01,837

Um, solid, solid episode.

:

00:47:02,377 --> 00:47:03,367

Very avy.

:

00:47:03,487 --> 00:47:07,237

I was, I was engaged the entire time.

:

00:47:07,637 --> 00:47:11,087

When an episode is hard to

pause, to take notes for.

:

00:47:11,447 --> 00:47:13,877

And you're like, damn it, I don't

wanna pause and you watch some and

:

00:47:13,877 --> 00:47:15,647

then rewind to take your notes.

:

00:47:16,097 --> 00:47:16,637

I think that's the

:

00:47:16,637 --> 00:47:18,407

mark of a truly excellent episode.

:

00:47:18,407 --> 00:47:20,717

And that was the case for

these, both of these last two.

:

00:47:21,752 --> 00:47:22,832

Laura: yeah, for sure.

:

00:47:23,192 --> 00:47:26,732

I almost am apprehensive again.

:

00:47:26,732 --> 00:47:28,862

You know, I was apprehensive

about how this all was gonna

:

00:47:28,862 --> 00:47:30,932

turn out and it turned out fine.

:

00:47:31,472 --> 00:47:34,292

And now I'm like, well, what

crazy shit is gonna happen now?

:

00:47:34,727 --> 00:47:36,047

Xhafer: Well, let's talk about it.

:

00:47:36,047 --> 00:47:36,947

We've got season

:

00:47:36,947 --> 00:47:40,247

two, episode 13.

:

00:47:41,327 --> 00:47:42,167

Epiphany is

:

00:47:42,722 --> 00:47:45,547

Laura: I feel like this is a sci-fi

title that's been used in other things.

:

00:47:45,722 --> 00:47:46,292

Xhafer: for sure.

:

00:47:47,252 --> 00:47:48,692

Let's see here.

:

00:47:49,403 --> 00:47:53,303

I like this episode description better

than the one I've got written down.

:

00:47:53,933 --> 00:47:56,828

President Roslyn flashes

back to her life on Caprica.

:

00:47:57,308 --> 00:48:02,513

A group of silent sympathizers

destroy the Tillium refinery.

:

00:48:03,406 --> 00:48:05,806

Laura: Silent sympathizers.

:

00:48:05,896 --> 00:48:06,556

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:48:07,551 --> 00:48:07,971

Laura: Huh?

:

00:48:08,661 --> 00:48:09,441

Interesting.

:

00:48:10,881 --> 00:48:11,061

Xhafer: Yeah.

:

00:48:11,061 --> 00:48:14,451

I like that better than the, the,

the one I wrote down is actually

:

00:48:14,451 --> 00:48:16,761

more spoiler spoils than that.

:

00:48:17,310 --> 00:48:19,415

Laura: The Tillium

Refinery is a ship right.

:

00:48:20,061 --> 00:48:20,361

Hmm.

:

00:48:21,156 --> 00:48:21,726

Wow.

:

00:48:22,251 --> 00:48:23,691

Wonder how we got sympathizers?

:

00:48:24,216 --> 00:48:28,506

Xhafer: We'll talk about it next week,

but before we get there, I should probably

:

00:48:28,506 --> 00:48:31,296

say thank you to a couple of people.

:

00:48:31,806 --> 00:48:35,166

Like, Hey, Jeremy Siegel

40 two.bandcamp.com.

:

00:48:35,166 --> 00:48:36,846

Buddy, how you doing?

:

00:48:37,236 --> 00:48:39,096

I hope it's well, hope things

are going good for you.

:

00:48:39,886 --> 00:48:44,086

You can find more Jeremy's work and

streaming services has nuclear Jaguar.

:

00:48:44,866 --> 00:48:46,606

You know, thanks for

giving us our theme song.

:

00:48:46,756 --> 00:48:47,571

We really appreciate it.

:

00:48:48,233 --> 00:48:51,833

Laura: Yeah, and thanks Eck Time machine

on Instagram for the podcast artwork.

:

00:48:52,403 --> 00:49:00,989

Xhafer: Aaron, look, I don't listen to

this podcast, but, but if I did, I would

:

00:49:01,439 --> 00:49:06,539

only know even more what a great editor

you are because anytime I have listened

:

00:49:06,539 --> 00:49:08,219

to this podcast, you fucking nailed it.

:

00:49:08,609 --> 00:49:09,719

So keep it up.

:

00:49:09,959 --> 00:49:10,919

Appreciate the hell outta you.

:

00:49:10,919 --> 00:49:11,699

Thanks so much.

:

00:49:12,629 --> 00:49:13,439

Laura: yeah, yeah.

:

00:49:13,529 --> 00:49:18,918

I've been listening because

like the stress of schooling.

:

00:49:19,323 --> 00:49:22,143

Makes me wanna spend more time with

my friends, but I don't have a lot

:

00:49:22,143 --> 00:49:26,883

of time to spend with my friends, so

I get an extra 45 minutes with Jair

:

00:49:27,123 --> 00:49:29,823

if I listen to our podcast again.

:

00:49:30,153 --> 00:49:33,153

Also, I have a commute that makes

it a lot easier to do that, so,

:

00:49:34,218 --> 00:49:38,478

Xhafer: I, I listened to, like, I actually

sat down and listened to podcasts for the

:

00:49:38,478 --> 00:49:42,408

first time in like, probably eight months,

two weeks ago, or three weeks ago when I

:

00:49:42,408 --> 00:49:44,598

was driving to and from Chicago for work.

:

00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:45,370

Laura: yeah.

:

00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,370

Xhafer: It was almost exclusively

behind the bastards though.

:

00:49:49,390 --> 00:49:50,440

What a good podcast.

:

00:49:51,925 --> 00:49:54,290

Laura: You didn't just listen

to eight hours of yourself.

:

00:49:54,580 --> 00:49:56,770

Xhafer: No, no, no.

:

00:49:56,830 --> 00:49:57,100

no.

:

00:49:57,100 --> 00:49:58,510

I hear my own voice quite enough.

:

00:49:58,510 --> 00:49:58,990

Thank you.

:

00:49:59,860 --> 00:50:01,070

Laura: Yeah, indeed.

:

00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:02,290

Xhafer: All right,

we'll see you next week.

:

00:50:02,290 --> 00:50:02,710

Internet.

:

00:50:03,247 --> 00:50:03,467

Laura: Bye.
