Collin 00:04
Collin, welcome to Oh brother, a podcast where we try to figure it all out with your hosts, Brandon and Collin on this week's show, an overabundance of country time, lemonade. Ahoy, ahoy.
Brandon 00:19
How's it going? I'm pretty good. How are you?
Collin 00:24
Oh, man, it's going well. We are in the thick of fair time up here. So flies abound. Flies do. Traffic is
Brandon 00:40
our spiders in our garage. You want? Will that help? You know what? Some spider? Hi,
Collin 00:45
we have, funny enough. We have enough spiders.
00:50
So, all right, okay, I was trying to help out, you know?
Collin 00:53
Thanks. There's even more well fed this time of year, unfortunately. Okay, no, so we're getting the traffic stuff. We're getting the all it Fun Police reports that come out in our sleepy little town, usually, oh yeah, all the non locals, and sometimes mostly locals, is what I mean, having fun at the fair and then seeing hide up Mr. Copper on the way back.
01:22
Hooray. Slightly less fun at the fair. This is a public service announcement.
Collin 01:30
Yes, that's that's what I'm saying here. People have just a little bit less fun at the fair. That's all I'm asking. You will be your your permanent record, we'll also thank you if you have just a wee bit less fun at the bear. So yes, that is what we are dealing with. We have fair and fun abounding. What are we here? But otherwise, it's been pretty, really good. We had a new experience this past week. Oh, I know, I know, very, very new, but we took part of the in the summer reading program at our local library. Another shout out and plug to be involved at your local library. And we you could what it was for adults you have to do, I forget what you have to do. But then you could enter however many reading things, reading logs that you did, enter those into a raffle to get drawn for a prize. And we put ours into a sip and paint party thing held at a local brewery, pub thing, and we won. Nice, we won. Let's go. Now I will say that I later found out that not very many people put their card into this. So every does, every it's
Brandon 03:02
not important. Okay, not important one. But that's fine. It's
Collin 03:05
okay, because it means that we did, in fact, win, and then we didn't have to compete. Which is where you want to be? Blue Ocean people. Blue Ocean Strategy go to where people aren't have more success there. I once attended a conference where somebody was talking about business strategies and they weren't. It was really frustrating to me, because they weren't offering sounds like it anything new. What they were doing was just regurgitating,
Brandon 03:39
just reading big Ramsey columns from the newspaper.
Collin 03:43
Hey, it really was. It was like, Hey, here's the last five books that I've read about business, and I'm going to tell you quotes about them and just kind of read off from the page for a minute. Welcome to my talk. Like, no, no, that's horrible. That's I didn't pay to listen this. Why are you doing an audiobook version of this? Is this allowed?
Brandon 04:03
Yeah, it's really, that's annoying. I've been because I've been like, reading more. I've been like, looking up. I've been trying to look up to try to help me, like, maintain some reading, a momentum into the work here. I've been trying to think about, like,
Collin 04:27
collections of short
Brandon 04:29
stories, or like shorter type of novels, right? Things like that, little on the so that I can, you can, like, read them and like in whatever. But it's not like a
Collin 04:38
it's less. It feels like less
04:43
work when you know, if you're staring at like, a 800
Collin 04:44
page book, you know, oh, sure, and you
04:49
but you only have like, 20 minutes, you're gonna be like, Oh, I don't, you know, am I even gonna be able to go through a chapter
Brandon 04:55
that? But if you have some, like, short stories, and some like, you know, little things, any like. Oh, you it feels more, you know, attainable, right? Even though I only sometimes will just read chapters at time and like, one chapter time in bigger books anyway. So I've been doing that. So the book tube, book talk algorithm is coming back around again. I don't know, and we know
Collin 05:15
my feelings about this, right? But it's bad.
Brandon 05:20
But, yeah, I've been getting those too. They're like, the five books that are like, change my life, because you get those ones mixed in, right? You get like, fictional or reading stuff. But then every once in a while, you get, like, the dude that read the Marcus Aurelius writings one time, it's like, the books that changed my life. Like, okay, okay, calm down. And it's like, yeah, like, how to be productive and like, how to read books better, or, you know, they have, like, these kind of titles. You're like, Uh huh.
Collin 05:50
Okay, I need you to calm down, buddy. Like, I'm glad that you're doing some, like, self assessment or whatever. But like, this is not where I am in my
Brandon 06:05
life. Get away from me with your like, how to think, like, um, that's a dangerous book title also, by the way, Get that away from me. But
Collin 06:15
like, right? Like, really,
Brandon 06:18
kind of, I don't know, like from I okay again, I fully recognize that I am a old, GRUMPY MAN. Okay, I know this, sure, right? And the person that's making this is like a 22 year old dude, and he's making this for other 22 year old and younger people, right? But when you're
Collin 06:37
some of these book titles, you're like, are you my guy, seriously, what? Yeah, right. What is it? Well, and in today's world, it's even worse, because you're like, This is a chat GPT thing, isn't it? Isn't it? I feel like some of them are, yeah, well,
Brandon 06:58
we won't. We can save the dissertation for, how some certain ancient Greek philosophers have been hijacked and slightly misinterpreted for the modern male sphere in a bad yeah, no, so
Collin 07:12
good. Oh no, bro. Have you read Marcus Aurelius? Hold on, yeah. They are there. That's what
Brandon 07:18
they do. They're like, No, that's not what being a stoic means like,
Collin 07:22
Okay, first of all, no, let me miss the point. Grab my copy of meditations. Hold on just a second. Yeah,
07:31
right, that out
Collin 07:32
here. Don't have like, yeah.
07:37
So guys, no, yeah,
Collin 07:40
no, I I just really struggle with that and and I get really sad whenever people just are just like, hey, I have nothing else to add to this conversation, but I am just going to regurgitate verbatim a book that I read, and it's going, this is such a waste of My time. And a this is two. Secondly, this is a waste of my time, but B, it wasn't even a good book to begin with, and not relevant to what you're talking about. So just going to move on. Right? So we submitted our book lists and got the sip and paint party done, and we showed up, and it was at the little pub brew place. And I had never been. Have you ever been to one of these
Brandon 08:33
things? I have not. Susan and her friends have gone to things similar to this before. I have not. I Okay, okay. So, like, I'm very gun shy about painting in particular, right? We can circle back to that if you want to, but I want to hear about your experience. Yeah, I just know from my history of of in art class, painting was that.
Speaker 2 08:57
Was not it. There was other art things I could do. Painting was not one of those things,
Collin 09:04
yes, so I, I have not, I have not painted in, like, painted, painted since, gosh, eighth grade. Let's go ahead and call it eighth grade. And so this was just meant to be like, I don't know, let's go have fun. Supposed to be a guided thing where they have a hey, we're going to paint this thing. We're going to paint this thing, yeah. And then we're going to walk through it step by step. And so you have your easel, you have your thing, you have your all of your pre portioned out paints that are out in front of you, right of like, we're gonna use this color on their label. And we show up and we sit down, and I don't know, I was just like, I know that there's a way that I could take this of like, I could go into this and freak out. And obsess over all the details and, like, panic about that I'm not doing exactly what she's doing, because that's my problem with a lot of the stuff is, like, I know me of, okay, you're showing the blending, and I will blend. And if I don't blend exactly like you are blending, then I will throw a fit, right? Like, I I just know that about myself. And so I just had to take a big breath, and was like, whatever happens, happens, right? We're gonna make happy mistakes, and we're gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine. And so it was a sun, okay? It was a little bit of a confusing scene of, imagine a sunset on an ocean, and then in the very foreground, just in black, is like a little sliver of beach, and you're supposed to paint little beach layers on it, like in silhouette, okay? And then have two palm trees coming, and then the sunset, but instead of the sun, there would be a moon high up in the sky, dead center, like, that's what we were painting, okay? So, like, the sun is basically, like, just gone down, just just behind the horizon, just behind the horizon, but also the orb just the color. It's a little confusing. I wasn't all about this, but, you know, we start going, and you know it was supposed to be a Okay, well, you can go. They're gonna have free drinks. You could buy drinks. I'm like, I am not. Look, I'm going to be bad enough to painting. I don't think I need to imbibe in any way to come
Brandon 11:31
on. What would Van Gogh think that's really
Collin 11:35
so we drink drink lemonade the full time. And then I realized that, oh, there are exactly two types of people who sign up or who put their name into a sip and paint party,
11:51
those who are really like sipping,
Collin 11:53
those who are more for the sipping. There are the ones there for the painting. Tea, yeah, right. Like, yeah. Completely different crowds, two camps, yeah. Basically the like, the social aspect or the art aspect, yeah. And we were there more for the social aspect of like, Hey, we've never done this. Let's just have fun. Neither Megan or I look at no cats, no shade. Here, we're not like artists, so it's fine, like, We're just there. Have fun, do something together, do something new. The lady at our table was definitely there for the sipping, like, oh yeah. Like, we showed up. She was already sipping before anything had began. She was like, doing a pre SIP party to the sip and paint party. So she was doing a sip, sip and paint party. Oh, dear. It was great. It was fun. And for me, one
12:51
for go again,
Collin 12:57
we started, and, you know, it's like, Okay, we're gonna do the black or the dark blue, and then we're gonna go into a pink and then do a light blue, and then we're gonna paint over this. And I was tracking with everything, of like, Oh, we got this. And then, okay, I can do the blending. Until
13:15
this is where the blending gets me. Every time I
13:17
can, I will say
Collin 13:19
I was blending, and I had blended, she was very, she was very concerned about people leaving brush strokes on the canvas. And I'm like, I guess that's very wanting to go make sure you go from left to right, all the way across. But I'm like, Yeah, but like, that's, but that's not how sunsets work, like they kind
Brandon 13:40
of that comes out channel you were trying to channel your inner Monet, right? And you're gonna be like, actually, the brush strokes are part, part of the of the feeling and how you deliver the paint on the canvas,
Collin 13:53
yeah. So I know I
Brandon 13:55
don't know how to paint, but I know about painters. What's up there? You know? I like art, I just can't art well.
Collin 14:03
And this, this was increasingly evident with like, what Megan and I were feeling the whole time. Of like, I I have seen many sunsets, specifically sunsets on an ocean or body of water, but my goodness, it was incredibly frustrating to both Megan and I to be like, I cannot depict this the way. I know it should, like, I know, look, I know that there should be this little like, you know, it should be an inverted funnel of the the blending going kind of up into the center of the sky and like, down into the center of the water as it comes towards you from your perspective, and like, the corners should be a little bit darker as things are panning around, whatever like I just could not get this was frustrating to me. However, the most frustrating part to me was the moon. And I will say this because what were your stuff? Posted, we were painting wet on wet. So everything was wet. Like, okay, dry a little bit. But, yeah, but not like, was this acrylic? It's not oil, surely, um, do you know, I don't know what,
15:12
not watercolor,
Collin 15:13
right? No, afterwards I was like, I, I fully, like, who really respect people who can do watercolor well, because I'm doing this thing, how would I know whether it was oil or color?
Brandon 15:28
I don't know exactly. I don't know they told you, right, that it has to do with, like, paint texture and how it lays down. But if you're doing full probably not oil. I would imagine, I would imagine, it's probably
Collin 15:39
acrylic paint of some bright I think it's acrylic, yeah, I don't think it's oil, because I think were you cleaning your brush with water or turpentine? Oh, it was water. So it was
Brandon 15:49
acrylic. Okay, so not oil, yeah, okay, cool, yeah, good, yeah. We were
Collin 15:52
thinning with water, which was enough. Oh, man, now I'm doing thinning and trying to get that down. And I have used, this is the longest I have consecutively used a paintbrush since I tried to do detailed work on painting my trim and that didn't go very well. So, like, we're really out of my depth here, but the moon, what you were supposed to do with the moon is right in the center of the big, dark sky and in the middle of the blending and stuff, you're supposed to grab your brush, clean it off, right, get a huge glob of bright white paint. Then you're supposed to basically shove your brush in the center, and then, holding the brush, spin it in your fingers and make a little circle. Oh, okay, that's what you're supposed to do. However, when you do that, the paint underneath is not fully dry, and so instead of it being white after a little bit, you definitely have purple. Like, it's real purple, because of how everything is mixed, because it's like, oh, there's pink and blue and now White, and there's just a light. And I I could not. And I, like, I was even
Brandon 17:04
like, Okay, that would also be acrylic paint, because oil paint doesn't mix particularly well, yeah. I mean, it does, but not great, yeah,
Collin 17:13
okay, yeah, so. But like, while I'm pushing, then I was like, Oh, I'm pushing too hard, because instead of, like, what I was doing is I was just making a purple moon with a bright white ring around it, because I was just pushing all the white paint to the own
17:29
right, oh no.
Collin 17:33
And then I was trying to, like, go out to that and, like, pull it down towards the center and but then, like, the edges of my moon were not perfectly circled, because I'm just grabbing and pulling, and then I'm trying to, like, do a little circle thing with a little bit bigger around the edge. It was, I was, this was my breaking point, because I was like, now I'm futzing, because there's supposed to be a clear, defined line. It's supposed to be circular, it's supposed to be uniform, it's supposed to be and I was starting to futz and, like, really go down. But I was like, No, this is my moon. This is the moon that I have painted, and this is the moon in my sky for my painting. And so then painted, and I am done. And I just had to, like, take my brush, clean it off and set it down, and stared at my mood, and I was like, No, I I just, I had to stop myself, because I would have been there for ages, ages, yeah. And then the last thing we did was draw the palm trees coming up, and then the fronds that come out. And then she was like, Oh, just you're gonna draw a determined line to do the top of the fron. And then from that, you're gonna get paint on your brush, and you're gonna pull down in little short like, and make little fron hanging downy things to make them look 3d and I will say this is where I was, like, now I know what to do with this, because I know, look, I'm not a painter. I don't know paint, but it did. I did also from the sandbar,
19:10
but I do know fronds, so
Collin 19:13
I do know that there's supposed to be, like, definition, and you can see depth to this. And so I'm not look just saying two things I added to mine that were not necessary. But I did have a hill and a mound. And on a beach, these have grasses on them. And so I did. I down, and I pulled up from there tonight, the illusion of grasses. Okay, so step one step. If there
19:41
was no grass, there would be no hill.
Collin 19:47
Sand dunes
Brandon 19:49
have grasses on there, yeah,
Collin 19:53
to hold them down. So to have hills, I have to have to I have to have grasses and marshlands. I have those. But also I'm like, I can't, I can't see a distinction in the fronds for that are coming down, because they're all just getting muddied together, and then it's just looking like a big black line. So I would gloop a little bit of the acrylic paint and, like, leave little like, 3d hit mounds or whatever, every like, sporadically on there, so you get some texture there. And I think, Ah, I know what I'm doing. And then I messed up, because then I just, without thinking, took my big black line and did a big swoosh right over my purple Moon,
20:40
which was dry,
Collin 20:49
because I was like, Oh, the frog's gonna be in front of the moon. And I just went,
Brandon 20:54
Oh. And I was like, oh, no, wait a minute, I can't
Collin 21:00
do that. And so I called her over, and I was like, hey, what do I do? How do I get a bad black on top of a light purple moon? And she went, well, you're gonna have to wait for your moon to dry. I was like, Cool. Cool. She said, Would you like to take some paint home with you? Like to take some paint home with you? And I think, yes, please. Thank you very much. Me so I could finish, man,
Brandon 21:31
oh, I read about Degas having these problems. I don't know what's
Collin 21:35
happening, see, and I'm just like, I'm sitting here going, it's the, it's the it's the execution that I just again, this is just lack of skill. And I guess if I was more determined, I would do something about it, right? I'd be like, Oh, I am. Sign up for an art but it was very apparent and all it's starting to get frustrating to me, of like, oh, you know what a sunset looks like.
Brandon 21:58
That's all right. You know, you got to pick your art form, right? Some people paint. Other people, they write haikus. Collin, and that's just,
Collin 22:09
I do have a haiku for later. I'm
22:10
sure a lot of people do both. But you know, you don't
Collin 22:13
know clear
22:17
painters or
Collin 22:18
haikuists. Adds the two, yes, obviously I will say you're I'm prompted here I have your little
Brandon 22:30
this sounds very exciting. I'm glad your paint turned out all right, but I did remind me you did make a thing I have made. I think officially,
Collin 22:37
I have reversed
Speaker 2 22:41
a stance. That I have held for a long time. Oh, right, yeah. So for a long time, I was of the opinion that lemonade is trash, right? However,
Collin 22:57
I think officially, after a little bit here, I think I'm officially gonna reverse course on this decision here and declare officially lemonade. It's fine. It's okay. It's fine. Wow, huge should be news. Brandon
23:19
determined, yeah, that's fine. Sorry, don't make a big
Collin 23:23
deal about it, but it's okay. I don't know why
Brandon 23:26
this. I mean, I the reason, I think the reason this has occurred, right? Is I really
Collin 23:32
don't drink soda anymore, right? Like, actually, not thing that I'm doing for my life currently. So, like,
Brandon 23:40
sometimes, like, when we're out, well, you go out, you do stuff like, especially in the summer, right? You're like, ah, like,
Collin 23:45
what do you want to drink? Like,
Brandon 23:49
eliminate. Let's go now. Let's try that out. Let's try emphasize, right? So I've been trying out again, right? And then I feel like, tested a little bit. And overall,
Speaker 2 24:00
think it's not, not too bad. I think I'm coming around on this lemonade thing, right about
24:08
because I along for a long time I was a penny was too lemony,
Collin 24:11
too lemony, rather, right? And I think part of my initial lemonade thoughts are based on
Brandon 24:23
people's homemade concoctions involving country time lemonade, right? When is it the country
Collin 24:30
time? I think so, right? When you make this and you put too much lemonade powder in the lemonade, oh, my God. It makes your eyes twinge, yeah, as you're like, so tart that you drink it,
Brandon 24:51
and then, because, for the long time, my my stance on Lemonade was you drink lemonade, and then you are thirstier than when you began. Right? It be and I but now
Collin 25:01
I think perhaps this was skewed
Brandon 25:06
in the 90s by the overabundance of country time lemonade with people in my life who had to make this at their house, and it was just too much. I'm just now of country time. Lemonade destroyed my lemonade drinking for years.
Collin 25:32
We can definitely lay that at the fault of of country time. I feel like that's fair. Yeah, right. One of people over like
Brandon 25:40
Not, not following the direction we can specifically land at the feet of people not following the directions on the country line, time limited, packet rate, right? Just sort of like dumping it in the pitcher and then there's like spooning a random amount of sugar in there also, and then giving you like an eye watering concoction.
Collin 26:00
Well, the worst was, whenever they would make, make large jugs of this.
Brandon 26:07
Oh, yeah, right, the big picture, yeah, only get the big picture up and put it in the fridge. The big, the big Tupperware picture thing, right? Maybe orange, maybe blue, you know, whatever
Collin 26:19
like, or like the sports drink coolers too, right? Like big gatory things, like at camps and things. This is where all measurements, oh, yeah, because did people have any idea how much water one of those held? No. So they, what did they do? They went, Oh, well, this is a large container of water. So I obviously need to use the entire thing these
Brandon 26:42
large amounts of country. No, no, I would
Collin 26:45
just use. I would just dump all of the country time in, and that'll be fine. And then, because there's so much in there, they don't stir it. And so there's just the sediment down in there. And then whenever you open that thing up, all of that just rushes out into your cup, if you're one of the first people there, and then you lay on the floor trying to recover after you drink that. Yes, yes, but you're right. A like, really nice, actually, well done from scratch lemonade.
27:23
I mean, that's even better
Collin 27:26
yes or or just Yes, well well done in light or easy handed country time. It's still fine, yeah.
Brandon 27:35
Like, I don't know. I haven't had that in a long time. So that's yeah, that's yes, I don't. I was trying to discover how much you're actually supposed to put in there, right? I was trying to Google this, and I can't this. One thing just said three quarters of a cup or three quarters of a spoon. And
Collin 27:54
I was like, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 27:59
Yeah, per mouthful, yeah, per what I don't, I don't know, yeah, so
Collin 28:07
yeah. This says for a you need,
Brandon 28:16
oh, there's oh, it just, you're supposed to. This is the one where you use the cap. You just, like, fill up the couch, but it doesn't say
Collin 28:24
mix amount, which is suspicious, right? I don't
Brandon 28:38
know. They're not trying. They're not telling either, but whatever. So, yeah, anyway, that yeah reminded me of like, oh yeah, I have
Collin 28:46
come around on this whole lemonade thing recently, right? Susan, you caught me. I ordered it sometime, and she was like, just looked at me like, What? What? It's like, yeah, you know what? Give me a shot New Leaf, right? It's okay. The other thing, perhaps, the other reason that this came up, right, is, like, there's been a few
Brandon 29:17
times where we've been coming back from Springfield, like, really late, right? And we've stopped somewhere to get, like, some, like, a little snack, like, in a fresh, like, a drive through, right? Sure. And it's, like, real late at night. I don't really want, like, a baked soda at like, 11 o'clock, right? Nobody want that, let me, I know there's sugar in there too, but, like, not,
Collin 29:37
like caffeine, yeah, do that. No, just something to sip on, and something a little bit of a it's peppy and a little yeah while you're driving, because it's not Yeah, good, yeah.
Brandon 29:51
That's the only time that we ever stop it. The Whataburger is, it's like, randomly, I'm super late.
Collin 29:59
You're like, Well, I mean, yeah, I mean it's open and kind of hungry, but like, well, whatever
30:08
couple of drinkies Are you?
Collin 30:19
Are you Are you fully in the
Brandon 30:22
back to school? Oh, yeah. We're back this week, right? We're back doing the thing. So whatever. It's fine. Here's, oh, here's my shorter session. How to not have, well, let's see, let's call it, let's, let's entitle this segment, what not to do to welcome teachers back on the first day of school, okay, what not to do the very first day of school for five hours, I sat in a gymnasium listening to And or watching presentation. Oh,
Collin 30:59
now not consecutive hours, but we had a morning presentation that was two and a half to three hours.
Brandon 31:10
Lunchtime, an afternoon presentation that was approximately one and a half to two hours. End of
Collin 31:16
Day, go home. No, no, no, no, I know.
Brandon 31:25
But the reason they have done this, right, we have front loaded everything
Collin 31:30
onto the first day. So like yesterday, we had to have, like, a meeting, right?
Brandon 31:40
Today, I had to go. We just, there was a meeting that you could go to. It was like, 30 minutes, and that
Collin 31:47
was it. And tomorrow, there's, like, no meetings. Okay, okay, that's okay, but, man, I don't that's too much. Could have split that, for example,
Speaker 2 32:01
like I know got stuff to do, because this, this year also is kind of strange, because they're, they did the thing again, where it's like, we are, we came back on Monday. We're going Monday to Thursday, because Thursday is open house right. Tomorrow's open house right. And then
Collin 32:23
then school starts next week. So, like, there's
Brandon 32:28
not a lot of time in there no to get ready, because before we've done like, I think last year we we came in like we did, like Wednesday, Thursday,
Collin 32:39
and then the next week we came, like,
Speaker 2 32:42
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then school started. Or maybe it was like Monday through, something like that, right? Like,
Brandon 32:50
so there was a little bit more time to do stuff, but it was very quick. Like, oh, hey, go. Gotta zip through this thing, yeah. So, like, I don't care, really, because my first, like, two weeks of school was, like, I have it.
Collin 33:05
It's all ready. It's all down. It's no big deal to,
Brandon 33:09
like, one of our have a new co teacher person, right? And she's kind of, like, freaking out a little bit. She's like, brand new, and has, like, all this new stuff. She's like, brand new to our district anyway, and, like, there's all kinds of stuff. So she has a lot of work to do. And so she is, like, cramming every like, you know, she's got tons of stuff to do, yeah? And, you know, I don't have anything to do, but I'm feeling bad for her. She does have many things to do, right? Yeah. And I don't have, like, tons. Are there some other things I could
Collin 33:39
have been doing today, yeah. But, like,
Brandon 33:45
I was like, Okay, some of that stuff can wait till later, but I need to do, like, seating chart stuff, and
Speaker 2 33:50
I need to do, like, that kind of stuff. I was trying to get that stuff today. Like, what are the what do I actually need for the very first day of school?
Collin 33:59
That's all I was focusing on today first,
Brandon 34:03
and then we'll go from there. Like, I printed out some stuff, but whatever. But, so, yeah, it wasn't too bad, just kind of,
34:12
you know, rolling through so today
34:13
was better. But man, that first day, oh
Collin 34:17
my gosh. Like, I can't sit here
Brandon 34:21
and, like, absorb some of this, like, relatively crucial information that you're trying to tell me, because, number one, I'm in the bleachers. Like, what? This is not comfortable. Ah, oh. I mean, it's the ones with the
Collin 34:35
seats. But, like, still acoustically poor choice. Yeah, you real bad. Yeah, it was cool thing. I mean, they had the microphones, but, like, still, yeah, had to be in a in the gym again, yeah? What a wonderful Hey, welcome back this. We're, we're here for you. But also, I need you to sit
Brandon 35:01
here for you. I'm gonna break my spine sitting in this little seat, or, my goodness, 100,000 hours. Like, that's terrible. Like, I don't, yeah, sorry.
Collin 35:17
Well, it's fine, least it's over, right? That's true. Yep, yes, all right, that's all right, so Yeah, tomorrow will be maybe I scout. But because
35:31
Susan was like, Is your remote clean? Ready to go? I was like, first of
Collin 35:35
all, tomorrow never like, clean, clean, no. So like, you know, there's always stuff somewhere, you know, it's, it's fine, so it's good enough, right?
Brandon 35:54
Sure, I'll tidy up a little bit more tomorrow. It's like, put these piles of things away. Like, I don't know, put it, and that's my bookshelf up, somehow I put all the books on there. But it's like, not quite right, and I don't remember how I had it last year. Oh no. Drive me crazy. So I don't know about that either, hugging me pictures next year.
Collin 36:19
Yeah, I did that
Brandon 36:21
before, but I did it, like, two years ago. So I've got to move some stuff around, sure, a little bit. I was trying to make more room on one shelf, but that messed up when other shelves look back.
Collin 36:30
I don't know so, and I have a couple books that, like,
36:35
the it's, they're just, like, too big, like, too tall
Collin 36:38
to fit properly. So, like, it's just like, one of them
Brandon 36:43
is literally, like, two meals too big. It like, won't go, oh, that's frustrating. Like, wow, trying
Collin 36:53
to find a home for all these is problematic, but it's fine. It's fine. So doing all that and they go. We did, oh, oh, oh, uh. We went to random
Brandon 37:07
restaurant in Springfield with some of our friends because they wanted to go do like a thing before we went back to school. Like a Hurrah. Last summer, hurrah. We went, went to, like a swanky place, and I don't know it's called, it's over, actually, over by your office, right? We were in your neck of the woods. Oh, for a minute, it's the, I think this is the old steak and Ale building. Oh, really, right? I think is that it's, I
Collin 37:38
think that's what it is. Because I, when we went in there, I was looking around. I was like, this feels
Brandon 37:46
familiar somehow. So I don't know if that's actually true, but like, it feels it, it's that, like, gym steakhouse over there on glintstone or whatever, yeah, over by the tower with two M's, yeah, it's right next to the tower, right? Yeah, that was steak and Ale. That's why I thought, especially the bathroom doors are the same still, right? This is the part that really gave it away. The bathroom door still says Lord and Lady, right? Because it's like, you know, it was like, weird kind of in there, like, medievally Esthetic
Collin 38:14
vibe, Steakhouse. Like, wow, what?
38:18
But my friend, my friends, wanted to go there. And I was like, ah,
Collin 38:23
and I we pulled up. It's like, I've been here, but not here.
Brandon 38:29
Oh no, it's like, those dreams. Why was I here? I think I was here with my grandma. At some point, I feel like that's true, like, I don't know.
Collin 38:40
That's insane. It's kind of insane, like, whoa. So how was it? I mean, it was pretty good, right? So it was fun, it was fun time. But the revelation was, wait a minute. Oh, right, stinkin Ale, I've been here before, and it's been years before since I've been in that building.
Brandon 39:04
Oh yeah, I didn't even know it was anything was there, because I thought snake and it'll close like forever ago. Yeah, I didn't think there was anything else in there, right, let alone just another mistake. I mean,
Collin 39:18
it gets a setup ready to go. But, like, the layout of that building is really strange, right? There's just, like, tons of, like, small little nook rooms that everyone's eating. It's really kind of odd. But like, yeah, yeah. I was just like, Whoa, you're right. It's very in here. Tight building anyway, compartmentalized, yeah, right? It feels like a bunch
Brandon 39:44
of small dining rooms, right? I guess I'd said that it's, like, more intimate and, like, you know, like, more calm and like, chill, right? But it's also labyrinthian, and now you have to, like, walk around.
Collin 39:58
That's crazy, yeah, it's got. A
Brandon 40:00
it's got, it still has, like, steak and yellow vibes a little bit, right? Because I recognize some of the root like it looked. It looks familiar enough, still, right? Even though, if I would have gone there with memes, I would have been
Speaker 2 40:16
in the 90s at some point, right? Like, yeah, it was not a thing, right? Because
Brandon 40:24
maybe the early 2000s but that was, it'd be about, it could be about last time I was, yeah, so I don't even remember it
Collin 40:31
when it closed, but that was the other
Brandon 40:35
funny thing I was gonna tell you. It's like when to stick a nail, but not really. I
Collin 40:40
man, yeah, I went to steak and hill, but I, but I didn't, but I did,
40:52
spiritual successor, right? It's
Collin 40:54
actually funny. They kind of like painted up a little bit, and it's like a different name, and the bathroom doors are the same, though, like,
Brandon 41:05
why is there a night on this bathroom? Oh, yeah, did they just say and Ale part? It's a joke, get it? Ah, it's a medieval taverny thing.
Collin 41:17
Did they just not like, I don't know. I
Brandon 41:20
don't know. They just kind of repainted. The walls are like, Yep, good, let's
Brandon 41:33
go. That's what I did, something I did this week, other than coming up with this week, sea shanty, of course, right? The last second to last, sea shanty here on the sea shanty playlist.
Brandon 41:57
This week, we're Collin with bully in the alley, bully, right, bully in the alley, halliard. Shanty, right, so it's a pull
Collin 42:08
rope. Shanty, right, hoisting sales. Shanty, right, boom, so
Brandon 42:16
in this case, right? Just some history here the term bully. We use this in the Hemingway sense of it means you're drunk, right? If you notice, Hemingway likes to use this word a lot. He's like, we're pretty bully, aren't we? Yeah, him, he's drunk, right? It's a very archaic form I've only ever seen in Hemingway
Collin 42:38
and this song, right? So
Brandon 42:43
why is that? I don't know. Is it because Hemingway spent time in Florida? Maybe is this song related to the Caribbean? Yes, oh,
Collin 42:54
don't know. So that's a good start, at least there you go. So yeah, bully in the alley, right? A Song of
Brandon 43:05
missing little Sally, basically, what's about? I don't know. I think it's a song about, like, my I love this woman, but she's not here, and I'm at sea and I'm sad, and she's probably going off of somebody else because I'm boating and now I'm bullying the alley. I
43:26
think that is basically the crux of the song,
Brandon 43:32
like many sea shanties, just not the happiest tune in the world. But, you know, it's catchy as heck. So you can haul
Collin 43:41
ropes in sync. Yeah,
Brandon 43:45
necessary. It is necessary because you don't want to haul your ropes out of sync. What a catastrophe
Collin 43:52
that would be. Right? Terrible, terrible, terrible. Yes, speaking of terrible old Jim, Ah, he's in a pickle, right?
Brandon 44:08
Quite the pickle, indeed. Oh, right,
Collin 44:13
right. Like, man, we really, yeah, right. It's,
Brandon 44:22
you know, once again, escaping goblins to be caught by wolves, right? As everyone says, as everyone says, clearly, yeah. Now we're confronted with his playing. So he torches are lit,
Speaker 2 44:37
right? He sees around right, and he's like, ah, there are all the pirates are here.
Collin 44:43
However, the first revelation we get is, really, there were six Buccaneers all told not another man was left alive. So we are substantially less. I. Then we started right. The enemy crew, the pirates here, have been whittled down substantially right, and of these
Brandon 45:10
six, five of them were on their feet because one is laying
Collin 45:16
on the ground with covered in blood stained bandages around his head. So five and a half man, I'm not counting that one at all, five and a half pirates left. So, yeah, he's kind of like this revelation, sort of like he is
Speaker 2 45:44
fighting two emotions, right? He is scared because he's just wandered into the lion's den here. But he's also like, oh, there's only six of them. Hey, yeah, he's weird. Okay, he's weird. Okay. Oh,
Collin 46:00
actually, well, yeah, we might be doing pretty good here. So he's like, scared and bolstered a little bit by this news, right? And he kind of is bound, but depending on the moment, he seems to be
Brandon 46:18
bouncing back between these two things, like a pinball, right? He's like, bouncing between the bumpers of like, Oh no, this is scary, too. Wait a minute. There's not very many of you,
Collin 46:32
right, even though currently it's six to one, right? He knows that somewhere there are, you know, others, right, at least four other people, right, four or five other people that he's he's doing some mental math here and going, Oh well, our, our odds are actually looking really good. Like my odds at this exact moment might not be wonderful, but yeah, but overall, overall, yeah, right. And this is kind of like,
Brandon 47:15
I think, brought forward to him more, by the way that silver kind of starts talking to him, right? Yeah, when he starts talking to me, he's like, Hey, look, you know, I always liked you,
Collin 47:25
right? Like, you know, think you're a picture of my own self when I was a youth, right? And, you know, it's not so bad, you know, I always treated you square, didn't I? And, you know, I'll give you a choice here, Jimmy, you can, you know, throw in with us, or you can take your, you know, head back to your other people, right? Like, so it's kind of like
Brandon 47:54
that's not a confident silver at the moment, right? This is like
Speaker 2 48:01
conniving, sneaky, manipulative John, right with the braggadocious like guy from outside the fort earlier is not here, right? Like
Brandon 48:18
the first encounter at the fort when Jim and the crew were inside and the pirates were outside. Silver was brash, and he was, you know, this is the way it's gonna be, and blah blah. He's realizing now he no longer has a upper hand, and he's reverted back to kind of shifty, like manipulative silver, right? Yes, we see that here in this interesting that both of those people have occupied this same space, right? It's kind of interesting. It's like a very interesting juxtaposition from like, couple days ago now in the same spot, right? The return, Jim's return, is a very different in many ways, right?
Collin 49:01
Well, it finds, it finds Jim both, like, Jim is different, and how he's interacting with silver. And I don't know if this is a silver is sensing a little bit of that, of like, oh, this. He's not, maybe quite as naive, or whatever. But also, silver recognizes his extremely precarious scenario here, situation of right? He he has to be putting on a show and front for his crew. But also, yeah, he does like genuinely it. He does need Jem. He needs all the help that he can get at this point. And knowing what, he assumes that Jim knows or doesn't know, right? Like he's, he's still recruiting at this point. Yeah, it's,
Brandon 49:50
you know, I think this fact is backed up by, you know, he gives him this ultimatum, and then Jim's response is, am I to answer? Then I asked with a very i. Tremulous voice, right? Although through all this sneering talk, I was made to feel the threat of death that overhung me, my cheeks burned and my heart beat painful in my breast. So he's at some point, he's like, acting bold, but like, internally, he's like, freaking out, right?
Collin 50:17
Yes, yes. So
Brandon 50:21
he does ask about his friends. He's like, they left, right? And again, he's trying to, he's he's doing his manipulative thing. He's like, Oh yeah, the you know, the doctor's mad he doesn't like you, though he said he didn't want to see you ever again. Blah, blah,
Speaker 2 50:39
you know, he's like, Oh no. He's like, for a minute he falters, right? He's like, Ah, did I really? I really messed up? Like, blah, blah, right? That I don't, I don't know. Why would this? Why would this be
Brandon 50:52
right? And so he's so so Silver's trying to keep needling him, trying to get him on his side by telling him these things that may not actually be true. Like, is, was the doctor probably pretty angry that Jim just disappeared? Yeah, did he probably say? Like, I'd never want to see Jim Hawkins again, doubtful. But, like,
Collin 51:14
yeah, so he's trying to needle him in there, right? So, yeah, this is a very interesting chapter where the psychology is, like, different, right? And, and then in any like, you know, he it's also too, like,
Brandon 51:36
Jim sees through it a little bit, and he kind of comes around. He's like, Well, I won't blah blah, because I knew he like, he like, goes, he like, launches in this big speech about your downfall is all because of me. Oh, I'm the one that engineered all this. That's my answer. Yeah, you're in this situation because of me. Because, guess what? I heard you in the Apple Barrel silver. I knew the whole time that you were sneaky and underhanded and up to no good and like, the more he talks, he like, gets more emboldened to like, keep talking. He ends this like, it's very interesting, because we went from that thing like a page ago, where he's like the my cheeks burned in my heart beat painfully in my breast to literally the next page, kill me, if you please or spare me. But one thing I'll say, and no more if you spare me bygones or bygones, and when you fellas are in court for piracy, I'll save
Collin 52:36
you all I can. Yeah,
Brandon 52:40
right, he's all, like, very, he's
Collin 52:46
all wound up. And Silver's like,
Brandon 52:52
like, he, he took charge of the negotiation, right? Almost, there's a very interesting dynamics going on here, the back and forth between silver and Jim in his
Collin 53:00
cabin, right? Well, yeah, well, and this is where, shortly after that, Silver has to step in and actually protect Jim from the men, yeah, and
Brandon 53:09
yeah, because he does say all that, and they're like, you what? He's like,
Collin 53:14
Oh, yep, I forgot you were there for a second. And silver has to sit in, reassert his dominance, and basically, like, nobody's laying a finger on him. And which is interesting, because he steps up, he does this, and then at the end, silver openly comes to Jim and is like, yeah, look, we're both in a bad spot. Because when he's talking to him together, he's like, they want you dead. And look, if you help me, it'll keep what does he say? Oh, yeah. He says, Look here. Jim Hawkins, you're within half a plank of death, and what's a long sight worse of torture, they're going to throw me off. But you Mark, I stand by you through thick and thin. I didn't mean to No, not till you spoke up. I was about desperate to lose that much blunt and be hanged to the bargain, but I see you was the right sort. I says to myself, you stand by Hawkins, John, and Hawkins will stand by you. You're his last card, and by the living thunder, John, he's yours back to back. Says, I you save your witness, and he'll save your back of now he's throwing his lot in with Jim and letting him know we're in a very precarious situation. If you don't go along with this, we're both not going to be in good, good sorts here. So what is it right like? Yeah, he's really trying to still find this way to weasel in to save his own neck. Yes, because, yeah, it is it right before that that they leave, they go outside. Oh yeah, sorry, I jumped a little bit towards the end. That's fine, but yeah, hey, he takes up, what a Forecastle. Something, something to
Brandon 54:58
the other the. Whole rest of the crew they they call, like a forecast of meeting, right? So the whole rest of the crew is like, they're like, this whole situation has anchored them. And so like, you know, right after silver speaks up and stops them from stabbing Jim, they go outside. They all go outside, right? They're like, and he's like, What are you going he's like, listen, Cruz, right to go and talk without you. You know the rules. He gives him a big, like, faux elaborate salute to, like, make his point about, like, blah, and they go outside, and that's when silver goes into this big thing about Jim, right, which leads into the next chapter where the they're outside for a long time. He says, right? Lasted some time when one of them reentered the house, and with the reception of the same salute, which had in my eyes, in ironical air, begged for a moment, Sloan of the torch,
Collin 56:01
right? And
Brandon 56:06
we get some interesting this phrase here, there's a breeze coming, Jim, right, a turn, if you will, right? He's say he's, you know, this kind of cement talk, like, oh, there's a breeze, a coven change in the weather, right? That's what he means. I don't think it's actually a breeze, right? Kind of like there's, there's something changing in the air, okay?
Collin 56:30
And what do they give all long time? Oh, a familiar thing, yes, right?
Brandon 56:46
They're very trepidatious, right? Silver has to be like, step up, lad. I won't eat you. Hand it over. I know the rules. I do and I won't hurt you, right? Thus encourage the Buccaneers step forth more briskly, having passed something to silver from hand to hand, slipped yet more smartly back again to his companions.
Collin 57:09
Right? Yeah, it's the black spot
57:13
again.
Collin 57:17
I love this where he says, ah, there, Morgan, there, there. What did I say? No good will come of that, I said. And then silver says, Well, you've about fixed it. Now, among you, you'll all swing now, I reckon what soft handed lubber was,
Brandon 57:33
because he says, Wait, well, the what you get the pay part right before that. He's like, Yeah, where did you get this paper? You cut this out of the Bible? Yeah, he's like, which one do you have that? Anyway?
57:43
It was Dick. It was it was Dick. Was it? Then Dick can get to pray, and the rest of you are out of luck,
Brandon 57:52
right? Because not only is this dumb, right, that he is what he's telling them, right, not only is this dumb, but you have
Collin 58:00
blasphemed right to
Speaker 2 58:05
implicate me falsely, right? So you blast me done, too bad, right? That's what he's basically saying. You've double batted here,
Collin 58:16
making it worse, right? Yeah, we forgot to mention that these, this chapter two is titled The Black Spot again, again.
Brandon 58:34
So he's like, he basically puts on the offensive here, and he is, you know, telling him why this is a bad idea, right? This is bad, you know, there'll be no good from this, right? We got to figure out how to do this. We got to talk a way out of this. We can. There's still a way out for us. And we got to stick together. And, you know, we can't, you can't do this without me. And, you know, blah, blah, you know. And then he's, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm still your captain. We got to figure this out. Your black spot ain't worth the biscuit, after all, a lot, right? Because he's like, basically the reason he's like, the reason we're in the situation, the reason that we're, you're
Collin 59:20
mad. It's not my fault, it's your fault. Yeah,
Brandon 59:25
right, well, he's like, the captain didn't mess up here. The crew didn't follow orders, right? Said, first you made a hash of the cruise, right? You'll be a bold man to say no to that second, because you let the enemy out here,
Collin 59:40
yeah, because they they brought those four things of what they were complaining against him, right? They said. They said, right. They said, Well, we're, we're getting you out of the captain because you messed this up. You released him from the block house without reason, like you refused to attack him on the march. And also, by the way, you kept Jim. Live. And then Jen, then silver responds, like, turns it around. Every single one of them saying, Actually, no, this is all your like, you said, your fault.
Brandon 1:00:13
Yeah, they Yeah. He said, I didn't let him out. They wanted out. They waved the white flag. They wanted to leave, so I let him right. That's, you know, that's,
Collin 1:00:25
yeah, well, and it's, and he, he plays up like for for Jim. He says, oh, and the boy, why Shiver me, timmers, isn't he a hostage? Are we going to waste a hostage? No, not us. He might be our last chance. And I shouldn't wonder. So he's like, he's like, dude, he went to Jim, and is like, Jim, you and me in this together. And just shows the duplicity and the duplicative nature of silver, of how he can switch from, hey, we're in this. We're teammates, we're going and then he switches, and he knows exactly what to say to the his crew to in, like, for their purposes and their reasons and their
Brandon 1:01:11
logic. Yeah, because about the cruise, he's like, You think I messed the cruise up? I wanted to wait, right? Yeah, I was gonna wait until everybody had, we dug up all the treasures together, and we did all that stuff. But no, you just had to go and start early. And then, you know, right? We would have been all out of there, right? And, you know, yeah. Then he's like, the boy is a hostage. And that's all fine, right? It's just yeah, he has, like, very good counter arguments to everything that they say, which is very interesting, right? And so they, he kind of, like talks his way out of this kind of deal, right? Because by the end, they're like, Okay, fine, it's
Speaker 2 1:01:57
okay. Well, they take a they revote, and then they're like, Okay, you can be captain
Collin 1:02:06
well, because what does he show him? He showed does he show them a map, right? It like, at the after he's done, does he he slams down the piece of
Brandon 1:02:16
paper, yeah. Like, has the map, right? He traded it with the doctor, the doctor or something, right? And he got him, or why, either. But, oh yeah, why? Yeah, why the doctor gave it to him is more than Jim says. Why the doctor gave it to him is more than I could train, right? But it might have been part of their escape and why they didn't attack him on the march, right? But he gave it so he's like, Yeah, and he's like, yeah, that's his like, trump card. He like, whips out. He's like, Oh yeah. He said, I haven't found the treasure. What do you think about this?
Collin 1:02:52
They're like, Ah, well,
Brandon 1:02:56
he's like, you lost the ship. I found the treasure. Who's better, Captain? Now take that. They re vote him as Captain again, which is weird,
Collin 1:03:09
but it's good. Oh, well, so they Oh and it's, it's, it's interesting here, because how just a little bit of illustrative fun here is they presented with the black spot. We know it's supposed to be super serious and super blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but almost as a way to show that Jim notes that the black spot was made with wood ash on the piece of paper, and it's already coming off of the piece of paper. Yeah? It's like, flaking off. So it's like, look, there was no real threat here, but it's just funny to say, like, yeah. And even the piece of paper that was supposed to be like, super dread and terrible is now washing away. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, with the
Brandon 1:04:03
thing. And it's also interesting that the only part that he can read from the Bible is the quote without our dogs and murderers, right, right, right? Because he knows that part from, it's from Revelations. It says here, so it's like, he's like, Ah, he's like, this is yes, that is true. Yeah. Actually, they were within gym there, right next to you,
Collin 1:04:29
over yonder. Yeah, so,
Brandon 1:04:35
yeah. So that's settled. They decide to do stuff in the morning. So they go to to
Collin 1:04:41
bed here, right? And they just have a little sleep the next day, right? The doctor shows up.
Brandon 1:04:50
Sure, does. He's been coming to help them with their sickness, right? They've been ill. That appears they. They have malaria or something, right? Because they camped in the swamp. And so the doctor does spend a good deal of time chastising them for their idiot camping clans. He's like, why on earth would you camp over there? What are you doing? Right?
Collin 1:05:15
And he's very surprised by the new edition, right? Sure.
Brandon 1:05:27
Because he's like, we've got a quite a surprise for you too, sir. We've got a little stranger here,
Collin 1:05:36
yeah. And he even says, like, he says, Not Jim silver says, the very same gym as ever,
Brandon 1:05:43
yeah, I like telling the very same gym as ever was the doctor. The doctor stopped outright, although he did not speak, and it was some seconds before he seemed able to move on. Well, well, he's like, very shocked, like, yeah, what? Yeah, so he does treat them some more than
Collin 1:06:09
chastises them for their bad point here and right
Brandon 1:06:20
he let's see, is anything after this notified? Or he like, yeah, if it a bog, would you? But he asked to speak to Jim, right? Yes. He's like, Hey, can I? Can we talk? And he's like, he basically, they like, let him go outside a little bit and talk kind of, kind of alone, like, he basically says, don't, you don't run, right? Promise you're not going to run. Blah blah. Jim gives silver His Word that, you know, I won't run, you know, give me your word of honor as a young gentleman that you won't slip your cable. He's like, fine. So step outside and you guys can talk,
Collin 1:07:04
yeah, well, and there's a large disapproval from the rest of the gang, right? Is that what they're over? Yeah?
Brandon 1:07:08
Because they don't think he's gonna listen. They don't. They're like, bro, he's just gonna run who's giving away or, huh? You talked about how we have hostage. You're just gonna let him go outside and run away. Like they don't believe that Jim will come back, because they wouldn't come back, right? They'd be like, No, so they can't believe that Jim would be honorable and
Collin 1:07:25
do a thing like that, right? I think is what we're supposed to believe here. So yeah, he goes outside and we he's like,
Brandon 1:07:39
talks to him about some stuff. And kind of the doctor does try
Collin 1:07:43
to get him to leave, right? Um, well, I think at first he, I don't know, because he opens and Jim said, the doctor says, so Jim. The doctor said, sadly, here you are as you have brewed brewed. So shall you drink my boy? And then I, like, is, Is he starting open here? Think that Jim, knowingly or willingly chose to be here with the pirates? Yeah,
1:08:08
I think so, right.
Collin 1:08:12
Yeah. So he goes on like a, like a, like a diatribe, but he's like, you know, but this much I will see be a kinder, unkind when Captain Smollett was well, you dare not have gone off and when he was ill and couldn't help it, by George, it was downright cowardly, yeah. And so he
Brandon 1:08:26
does feel guilty about that. He's been feeling good about that the whole time, right? He does say, Here I began to weep, right? Yes, I blame myself enough. My life's forfeit anyway, and I should have been dead by now, if silver hadn't stood for me. And Doctor believe this, I can die, and I dare say I deserve it, but I have, what I have is a fear of torture. They come to torture me. It's like, okay, all right. It kind of wins the doctor back over a little Yeah? Because the doctor then that kind of, I think that kind of convinces him, he's like, Oh, you're not here on purpose because you want to, okay, yeah, you didn't throw in your lot with them. Instead, like you are a prisoner, right? That kind of, I think, snaps the doctor out of that line of thinking. He's like, okay, okay, you're all right. You're not actually with them. You're just with them because you've been captured, you know? He doesn't know, because he just wandered in there, but,
Speaker 2 1:09:33
and he's like, he's like, so we can just run. He's like, no, no, no, no,
Brandon 1:09:37
honor His promise. Yeah, yeah. So he's like, I'll stay, you know, but, but, but I gotta tell you, right? The reason I can't be tortured is because I know where the ship is. And the doctor was like, well,
Collin 1:09:49
I should have led with that. Man. What do you mean? Yes,
Brandon 1:09:56
beating around the bush with all the important stuff. Just come out and tell. Me know, because he's like, Yeah, I can't, I don't want to do that, because I might give up the location of the ship.
Collin 1:10:07
The doctor is just what, yep. And he's so funny, yep. The doctor says there is a kind of fate in this every step. It's that you save, saves our lives. And do you suppose by any chance that we are going to let you lose yours that would be a poor return, my boy, you found out the plot. You found Ben gun the best deed that you ever did or will do, though you live to 90. So like, okay, so something about Ben Gunn here, yeah, is important, right or he has it already. And then he yells out, silver, I'll give you a piece of advice. He continued as the cook, Judy again, don't you be in any great hurry after that, treasure? Yeah. So he also says, look out for squalls when you find it. Yeah. What right?
Brandon 1:11:11
I've no right to say more. It's not my secret you see or silver or I give you my word I'd tell you, but I'll go so far with you as I dare go, and a step beyond for all, have my wig sorted by the captain, or I'm mistaken, I'll give you a bit of hope. Sober, if we both get alive out of this Wolf Trap, I'll do my best to save you, right? So he is also kind of so that he says, My second piece of advice, keep the boy close beside you, and when you need help, hello or Hello, or whatever, hello, like, holler, Yeah, hello, yeah,
Collin 1:11:51
I'm off to seek it for you, and that itself will show you
Brandon 1:11:57
if I speak at random, goodbye, Jim, and he turns rather weak. So this is very cryptic messaging from the doctor here, like, what on earth is he on about?
Collin 1:12:10
Yeah, been talking with, been talking with Ben Gunn, too much. That's what I think.
Brandon 1:12:14
So, right? They've just been hanging out, sharing some cheese,
Collin 1:12:19
bonding over bonding over their love of cheese, which, you know, fair, but as one does right now, we've already had two show titles revolving around cheese. I'm not gonna make a third, but, man, that's fine. That's
1:12:38
all right. Yeah. Here,
Collin 1:12:42
yeah, and then he, uh, what's he doing? He shook, walks off, walks out like Jim. Jim told him where the ship was, and then he went into this big thing being very cryptic, right? A squalls coming on. You silver, you go to find the treasure. Keep Jim with you. Yeah? Like, okay, um, that is
Brandon 1:13:16
full of omens, right? Like, they are not good things coming here. So
Collin 1:13:22
some people have been doing some planning, it appears, yeah, right. So, yeah, we'll see
1:13:31
what on earth that's about,
1:13:34
uh, next time on the final installment
Collin 1:13:39
of Treasure Island, right? Yes, oh yeah, be good. I'm excited about it. Me too. Well, something to wrap us up. Here is a haiku, oh yeah, based on, as always, a topic from the last, last time we talked, cracks, whisper at night, bricks, sigh. I've had a long day. Gravity agrees.
1:14:21
Oh beautiful
Collin 1:14:27
building. It's still up. It's still up. They haven't done anything. Haven't turned it down yet, so I'm just like, ah.
1:14:39
Anyway.
Collin 1:14:46
Now unfortunately, all of like, the motivation on this as like, died off, because the fair is in town and so, yeah, there. Everybody's at the fair. Everybody's at the fair. Nobody's nobody's doing the drone fly by the bully in the alley at. Fair, right? Yeah, everyone's mad about things and whatever. Okay, fine. So yeah, it'll be, it'll be, what's going to be really funny is like, once the fair's gone and everybody's attention turns back to the building, it's gone, I'm just, I've been here for it. So yeah, they're gonna be, the
1:15:17
fair's gone. They'll be like, wait, the building's still up. What the Yeah,
Collin 1:15:23
just from one thing to complain about to the next,
Brandon 1:15:27
it's fine. Well there they'll be done with the fair and then turn around like, Hey,
Collin 1:15:32
what are you still doing here building? I
1:15:35
decided you need to go away.
Collin 1:15:37
Oh, I should be gone by now. Somebody should do something about this. We'll see. We'll see what happens. So so much to look forward to next time. We'll see what happens then.
1:15:56
Okay, looking forward to
Collin 1:15:59
that. Building updates. I know, building updates, what happens to the treasure? There'll be at least
1:16:06
one conclusion,
1:16:12
and on that bombshell, oh yes,
1:16:16
love you. Let me do Bye. Bye. You.
