2:00
We've got a
2:02
spooky episode for you tonight.
2:05
Or should I say to Fright?
2:08
That's right. Or should I say that's
2:11
Fright? To Fright's
2:14
episode is extra scary in
2:16
honor of Halloween. It
2:19
won't be released on Halloween, but
2:21
it's still in honor of it.
2:23
There's no rule that says you
2:25
can only honor Halloween in October.
2:27
Or should I say there's no
2:29
ghoul? But why would I
2:31
say that? Because in this spooky episode,
2:33
there might be many ghouls. Is
2:36
this clear? Is the logic
2:38
of this joke collapsing in on itself?
2:40
I feel like I'm doing the pre-taped
2:42
call-in show bit. Anyway, Happy
2:45
Halloween eventually! The
2:56
poet Sprite Grape once
2:58
said that the sun never sets
3:01
on Piss Harbor. I'm
3:03
not sure what he was talking about
3:05
because right now it's night
3:07
in Piss Harbor. And
3:10
Sprite Grape was executed 600 years
3:12
ago, crucified by the Pope
3:15
to stealing his horse. Just
3:17
another night in Piss Harbor where the
3:19
sun has set. But
3:21
despite what I said in that
3:24
last sentence, this isn't just a
3:26
typical night in Piss Harbor. No,
3:29
this is binge night
3:31
in Piss Harbor. An
3:34
annual night where all crime... it's
3:37
legal. The thinking here
3:39
being that people will binge on crime
3:41
during binge night and get it out
3:43
of their system for the rest of
3:46
the year, which they of course will
3:48
call Purge Year. If you
3:50
think about this the exact amount that I
3:52
did, the names make a little bit more
3:55
sense this way. I
3:57
anticipate no confusion whatsoever
3:59
tonight. Binge Night.
4:02
We open on a burning
4:04
school as children in Halloween
4:06
maps dance around it in
4:08
slow motion holding machetes and
4:11
grenades. Just one of
4:13
the grisly images you can expect on Binge
4:15
Night. The nearby palm trees
4:17
burn in solidarity with the school.
4:20
From a nearby apartment a superintendent
4:22
looks out of his window sadly.
4:26
The children they don't
4:28
want to learn anymore. Not
4:30
like how they usually do. Truly
4:32
this is a sign of the
4:35
time. He swirls a glass of
4:37
brandy before taking a sip thoughtfully.
4:40
But no matter. These are
4:42
tomorrow concerns. For tonight I
4:45
am going to tear the tag off of
4:47
my bed mattress. I am
4:49
not above the temptations of Binge Night.
4:51
Why even this brandy is illegal.
4:53
For I am 14 years old.
4:56
We move through
5:01
the night down a road soaking
5:03
wet with the piss of public
5:06
urination before finding ourselves inside of
5:08
a hardware store. Environmental
5:10
graffiti explains the deal of Binge Night
5:13
to anybody watching the theatrical version of
5:15
tonight's episode. And maybe they misjudged how
5:17
many trailers would play. And so they
5:19
went to the bathroom and they missed
5:21
the first few minutes of the movie.
5:24
These people they exist and they're
5:26
as deserving of narrative as the
5:28
next man. We weave
5:30
through the aisles before finding ourselves
5:33
in an aisle of chainsaws.
5:36
Most of them have already been shoplifted
5:38
but several remain. Three bounty
5:41
hunters observed them. Who
5:43
are we looking at here? Closest
5:45
to the camera you see a
5:48
small stone gargoyle in a
5:50
blood-soaked tutu and a blood-soaked
5:52
corset. Her little vanity
5:54
wings peek out the back of the
5:57
top of the corset where there's lacing.
6:00
And they're twitching irritably, excitedly,
6:02
hesitantly, and, um,
6:06
excitedly. Is
6:09
this chainsaw too big?
6:12
I just don't know, I've never been on
6:14
Binshnight before. Neil,
6:16
when it comes to chainsaws on Binshnight,
6:19
no chainsaw is too big. Standing
6:22
next farthest from the camera is Moose.
6:26
Normally, he's dressed in a pastel-colored
6:28
suit with sleeves rolled up to
6:30
the elbows, but tonight, it's Binshnight.
6:33
And instead, he's wearing a brown
6:35
leather vest with no shirt on
6:37
underneath. He's
6:39
got a red bandana around his head, he's sort
6:42
of like tossing chainsaws around, sort of trying to
6:44
get the weight of the perfect chainsaw. Ah,
6:48
this one, this one feels right. He
6:51
lovingly pats a candy
6:53
apple red chainsaw. Well,
6:56
if you say so. From around the corner,
6:58
a centaur
7:01
trots over, carrying two
7:03
big jugs of gasoline
7:06
for all these chainsaws that you need. If
7:09
you've ever seen the Van
7:12
Halen music video where there's
7:14
like a centaur, like in
7:16
the background, who's like a
7:18
really big, buff guy with
7:20
like bleached, like blonde hair and
7:22
like big sunglasses and like
7:25
biker mutton chops, and he's like, he's
7:27
really muscular and like sunburnt. And
7:30
he's like, he's just in that background of
7:32
that one Van Halen music video. That's
7:35
what this guy normally looks like, that
7:37
this is Jonathan Large. But
7:40
tonight, it's Binshnight.
7:43
And he is wearing a big
7:47
horse mask over his head. God,
7:52
he almost looks like he's definitely just a horse.
7:56
It weren't for still those big, muscly,
7:59
human arms. to ourselves. I
8:02
think we're gonna have enough chainsaw juice
8:04
for everyone to have a good time
8:06
tonight. Gasoline!
8:10
We can also light things on fire with it if
8:12
we need to. Orson's on
8:14
my list. I made
8:17
a list like you suggested, a list of
8:19
crimes that interests me. Neil,
8:21
that's freaking awesome. I'm so glad
8:23
you're manifesting your desires for tonight.
8:25
Thank you, Jonathan. You're welcome,
8:27
Neil. All those
8:30
years perched atop that church, I thought maybe
8:32
one of them you would have climbed down and done some
8:34
binging. I guess not.
8:37
No. I remained a
8:39
steadfast sentinel. But
8:41
oh, the confessions I heard the
8:43
next day. Horrifying, brutal,
8:45
strange. Their voices,
8:48
though, they sounded a bit relieved. Does
8:50
that make any sense to you? You've done binged night
8:52
before. Yeah, it sounds... it makes
8:54
a little sense. Yeah. Yeah, I'd
8:57
say it does. Leave
8:59
it to a statue to not enjoy
9:01
the one night off a year. Moose,
9:04
come on. What? Let
9:06
it aside. Never. You
9:09
don't know my history with statues, okay? You
9:11
don't know it. I've simply never
9:14
asked. I know. She turns towards
9:16
the checkout. Oh, oh, oh.
9:18
Neil, Neil, Neil. Yes? Here's
9:20
the coolest part. Here's the coolest part. You
9:24
can steal it. What?
9:26
We can steal all of it. You
9:29
don't have to pay for anything. Vests
9:32
is on my list. I'm crossing it off already. The
9:34
cashier behind the cash register, who's
9:37
dressed like Tank Girl, nods
9:39
to you solemnly. And
9:41
the cashier speaks to you and says, That's right.
9:44
All crime is legal on binged nights. This is
9:46
my night off. And I'm disobeying
9:48
the law by coming into work. Whoa! Illegal
9:54
overtime. Hell yeah. Yes.
9:57
Fuck labor rights. That's right. Yes.
10:00
That would be. Barbara worked hard for
10:02
strict labor laws as much the night
10:04
they do not apply a fag. get
10:06
a admit you're a live in years
10:08
old under that mask. Do they take
10:10
off the mask? Their ten. Other
10:13
hello, the unmistakable difference between eleven
10:16
and said year old Izquierda You
10:18
earned. A
10:22
pound their chests and then they raise
10:24
a bow and arrow as when he
10:26
thinks best be getting outta here or
10:28
this is exciting is that a law
10:30
firm says no, no law that says
10:32
you have to leave, accept the law
10:34
of might and they let slip Sierra.
10:37
You move. Know Moose,
10:39
it goes right passed over. you're
10:42
handling of the past. Oh. I
10:45
thought you a human man and that's why
10:47
I shot to full feet over your head
10:49
of. Maybe you'll figure out
10:51
how to aim when you're eleven. Get
10:55
a big aim. Another arrow is don't
10:57
give me a reason Moose doesn't move
10:59
in. it's he knows a ten year
11:01
old could never hit him. Moose
11:05
you. Were right not to move
11:07
an inch. that with a critical fail,
11:09
they let go of the arrow. The
11:11
arrow stay put and they go flying
11:13
back hundred see through the facade of
11:15
the source. Who's.
11:18
Turns to his friends. I wasn't sure that
11:20
was gonna work, but it really works. Sky
11:25
gets night. You're normally not
11:27
allowed to make comments like
11:29
that against the various species
11:31
they're populate the city's if
11:33
you are employed or the
11:35
hardware store Moose Revs is
11:37
chainsaw and then tosses it
11:39
through the south window so
11:41
heated already been shattered by
11:43
that kid going through the
11:45
arm and it it's Saturday.
11:47
Get a. glass the laws
11:49
of nature prevent the glass from reforming
11:52
itself and so of course of the
11:54
exact the glass had reformed into a
11:56
plate of glass and it's shatters again
11:58
now remember kneel on be Binge Night,
12:00
nobody uses doors. Badass.
12:03
She, uh, finds
12:06
a chimney. No,
12:09
Neel, that's why I made the hole
12:11
in the window. Yeah, yeah, she's already
12:13
climbing up and out of it, going,
12:15
Binge Night! Binge Night! Binge Night! Oh
12:17
my god. She climbed through the hearth
12:20
of the hardware store. Jonathan Large grips
12:22
Moose by the lapels of his leather
12:24
vest and says, She's
12:26
doing the reverse Santa Claus.
12:29
The most horrible crime you can do.
12:31
She's getting into it, I love it. Put
12:34
me down. Oh yes sir. Oh!
12:37
Just outside the window, a, uh, ash
12:40
covered Neel drops to the ground and
12:42
says, Come on! You're
12:44
followed by like a dozen Santa skeletons that
12:46
all sit on you. She
12:49
bats them away excitedly. And
12:52
you, on the street, are like 12 different
12:55
screenwriters. And they all get an
12:57
idea for Gremlins. Hahaha!
13:00
Pay me! She
13:02
yells at them as they run away to
13:05
write their script. No,
13:07
we can rip off any ideas we
13:09
want tonight! Ugh, I'm Chris
13:11
Columbus! Eeehehehehe!
13:15
He flies away on a broomstick. Duh
13:18
duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh
13:20
duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh! It's
13:22
a scene of chaos. Uh, there's burning
13:25
buildings around you. Uh, there is
13:27
a full grown man wrapped in
13:29
Christmas lights, walking slowly holding a
13:31
hockey stick with a sword tied
13:33
to the end of it. Uh,
13:35
he seems to be just like
13:38
looking for trouble. Nearby a child
13:40
hits a wooden hoop with an
13:42
axe shouting, Die! Die! Die!
13:45
Die! Hahaha! A
13:48
god. Oh, it's nice
13:50
to see sometimes when civilization gets
13:53
a little bit too hoity
13:55
and too toity to
13:57
see that we are all the same
13:59
animals. deep down inside. At
14:02
least to me, a man who was a
14:04
horse about two years ago and have only
14:06
recently come to enjoy the morality
14:09
of man in this half
14:11
of a man's body. Yeah.
14:14
So as you're walking down, just like
14:16
down the street, sort of taking in
14:18
all of the chaos of Binge Knight,
14:21
you've got your chainsaws, you've got your
14:23
gasoline, you've got your cool
14:25
outfits, you're packed by a
14:27
burning dumpster and
14:29
inside of it you hear a
14:31
voice calling out to you. We
14:33
don't have to, we don't have
14:36
to answer that. That's our boss.
14:38
That's Maybelline. We don't have to
14:40
answer. It's Binge Knight. We don't
14:42
have to do it. What? I
14:46
still feel tied to the light. What if there's
14:48
somebody out there who needs punishment? This is the
14:50
perfect night for it. I can do all sorts
14:52
of things and not feel guilty. Oh,
14:54
yeah, Neil's got a point. What's up
14:56
with Neil? Neil, the
14:58
light will be waiting for you tomorrow. Tonight we
15:01
binge. Really? Yeah. Man,
15:05
I was really hoping to like
15:07
steal somebody's house tonight. You
15:10
can still do that. What's stopping
15:12
you? On the job, though. We're
15:14
not taking the job. We,
15:16
Maybelline, Maybelline, I'm sorry, but
15:19
tonight we're binging. All
15:21
right. Maybelline, I said I would do what
15:23
they want to do tonight. We're binging. Hey, look,
15:25
it's Binge Knight. Whatever you want to
15:27
do is what you guys, I can't stop
15:29
you guys. This is game about all that
15:32
money. Wait, did
15:34
somebody say money? I knew it.
15:37
It was Maybelline. Moose runs
15:39
over to the dumpster and like sits
15:41
down in front of it like
15:43
Chris Frost's applesauce. Yeah,
15:46
sort of dropped in large times
15:48
too. Yeah. And Neil goes over
15:50
and Neil rising up out
15:52
of the dumpster. You see Maybelline Moonlight,
15:54
your bounty hunting agent. She's half elf,
15:56
half horse and all woman and
15:59
the 0% on fire? I
16:03
can explain. Usually I'd be burning
16:05
alive to be inside of a
16:07
burning dumpster, but not tonight. Because
16:10
I've coded myself in something scientists
16:12
are calling double water. It
16:15
prevents burning, but it is said
16:18
to have strange side effects. I
16:20
don't know what the... and then at that she briefly
16:22
grows to the size of an elephant, and she
16:24
fell over the nagony. She returns
16:28
to the new
16:31
time. Damn!
16:33
That's been happening all night. Moose
16:36
leans over to Neil and whispers, arsonists hate
16:38
her. I bet. Jonathan
16:41
leans into Neil's elk. It's
16:44
one weird trick. She's so hydrated.
16:47
That I am. Alright, well, I
16:49
got a target for you guys if you're interested.
16:51
You don't have to take it. Let's just hear
16:53
her out. Money. Okay,
16:56
here's the deal. And she pulls up a
16:58
visual kenju out of the dumpster, but it
17:00
wasn't coded in double water. It's just a
17:02
charred skeleton. She hits its
17:04
skull and it just disintegrates into ash. Oh,
17:06
damn this night. Damn this longless night.
17:10
Oh, I'll just have to give you a verbal
17:13
description of the culprit. Your
17:16
target tonight is Drogo Universal
17:18
Healthcare. A human
17:20
man from the distant north. You'll
17:23
recognize him from his perfect, Dolph
17:25
Lundgren-like bone structure. He
17:28
stands an impossibly and even grotesquely
17:30
tall 6'4", in what high critics
17:32
are calling, Too Too Much. And
17:36
he wears dark sunglasses, even
17:38
in blackest night. They
17:40
don't seem to impair his vision,
17:42
and he's proven himself perfectly capable
17:44
of outmaneuvering all who pursue him.
17:46
He's wanted for walking into a
17:48
bank and stealing, and I quote,
17:52
Everything they got. Usually
17:54
the cops would handle a case like
17:56
this, but because it's binge night, all
17:59
of them exist. exploded as soon as
18:01
the sunset due to the fact that they
18:03
are creatures of pure law Because
18:06
it's binge night. He's technically not
18:08
wanted and so it's illegal to
18:10
bounty hunt him But because
18:12
it's binge night There's nothing to stop
18:14
you from bounty hunting him and taking
18:17
his entire stolen bake fortune minus my
18:19
10% cut of course But
18:22
be careful because he's not bound by
18:24
any law on this godless night But
18:27
be reckless because neither are you all
18:30
right and Jonathan
18:32
large finally figures out how to He's
18:36
been fiddling this entire time and he
18:38
finally managed to attach the
18:41
chainsaw to The
18:43
semi-automatic rifle that he was able to
18:46
lift earlier than He
18:48
clicks satisfyingly All
18:51
right. I think I've got all I need You
18:53
guys are good to go. Do you have any follow-up questions?
18:56
We can do whatever we want to him Anything
19:00
you want nothing is off-limits except
19:02
what a podcast audience would send
19:04
an angry email about Got
19:07
it. That makes sense. Just look
19:09
there. That's me. I
19:11
would never offend a podcast audience How'd
19:14
you say that and then it's
19:16
a ever shifting minefield of
19:19
bullshit. I think they sound great Well,
19:21
no, they're great. No the good At
19:25
this rib, they're great. Yeah. No most of
19:27
them all the time Anyway, we have any
19:30
actual questions or are we just kind of
19:32
shadowbox with our fans? I
19:34
just got to make sure this money is
19:36
good. This is after all Neil's first binge
19:38
night Oh, we got a first it's
19:41
my first binge night. A lady's
19:43
first binge night is a special thing. Yeah
19:46
collect a scalp for me Okay,
19:49
but the money's real he did really steal from a
19:51
bank I guess there's nothing to stop me from lying
19:54
to you, but you got to think who would profit
19:56
from that Why would I bother to do that? You
19:58
guys are my friends? Maybelline,
20:00
any ideas where we can find him? If
20:03
I had to guess, I'd say he's probably around the bank. Or
20:05
the financial district. Where the
20:08
bank is. So, the financial district. More
20:10
specifically, the big bank. Okay,
20:12
alright. It'll be the one that there's no
20:14
cops around. Falsy, to rob the bank and
20:17
then stay at the bank. Eh,
20:19
well, it's binge night. That's true.
20:21
There's no cop you can stick around- I bet you,
20:24
uh, so I'll only take 9% if I'm wrong. But
20:28
I bet you, he is leaning against the
20:30
bank right now, whistling, slipping a coin up
20:32
and down. You could possibly know that, Maybelline.
20:34
I'll take that bet any day. Hahahaha!
20:38
But, if I'm right, I get 11%. Oh,
20:41
alright. And hey, he's robbed the
20:44
bank, but, Jonathan. Eh? Maybe
20:46
instead of stealing a home tonight, you
20:48
steal a bank. Could
20:50
I live in a bank? Yeah, you
20:52
do like a conversion. Oh. You
20:55
know, it kinda has kind of a cool factor. That
20:58
would be a dream come true. You
21:00
could put a toilet in the vault. Wow. And
21:04
I have both bribery and forgery on
21:07
my list. I
21:09
feel like we could knock those out with the money.
21:12
We're making fake money. Alright,
21:14
well, before we head out. Neil,
21:17
I believe you had Arson on that list? Yes.
21:22
She lights a match and
21:24
throws it into the dumpster.
21:27
Maybelline not. I understand. And as
21:30
the dumpster burns even more, she'll be like, She's
21:33
sweet, and then she'll be like, No!
21:35
No, no, no, no, save yourself! Oh,
21:39
no, no! Kinda upsetting.
21:42
Neil, you have so amazing, you've never gotten to do
21:44
that before? I may have actually
21:46
checked that one off before. I may
21:48
have. Hahahaha! Hey,
21:51
you know what? I never let
21:54
anybody ride on my back. But
21:57
it's binge night, so I guess I'll break
21:59
a prayer. Personal rule hop on you two.
22:02
Let's get down to finance town.
22:04
Yeah She jumps
22:07
on and she's oh Good
22:19
posture, huh? Okay, you make
22:22
a constitution roll for me Jonathan. Uh,
22:24
yeah, what gave it away the noises? Yes.
22:27
Oh No, I gotta
22:30
be honest. That is a one a one Natural
22:33
one. That's a one. It's a one. It
22:35
was so close to the 15 right
22:38
next to it But no, it's a one motherfucker. You
22:40
are not Giving these
22:42
people a ride. No, I'm not natural district.
22:44
You need to find a big horse-sized wheelbarrow
22:47
or you're not going anywhere She broke that
22:49
thing. Yeah, I I'm
22:53
sorry. I forgive you Honey
22:59
I I need like a
23:01
little wheelbarrow or a or
23:03
a car Oh looks like tonight's another
23:05
first for you and moose pulls out
23:08
a gun. Yeah What?
23:12
First or last. Oh Yes,
23:14
I that's of course you have to
23:16
destroy an injured horse. No,
23:18
wait. Wait, she's still holding her chainsaw and
23:20
she Turns it on and
23:23
then she Chainsaw
23:25
the car in half So
23:30
then she pulled the back half and Slips
23:33
it under Jonathan's back.
23:35
Who's oh, oh,
23:38
that's nice. That's comfortable
23:41
Thank you. Are the front hooves.
23:43
Okay? They're alright. I think
23:45
I could probably Handle
23:47
the steering wheel a stick shift
23:49
in a gas a break
23:51
in a clutch with my front two hooves Go
23:54
ahead tuck it all under me She
23:58
pulls the front of the car of two
24:01
halves of a car under you. Yeah.
24:06
Also, I'm wielding a chainsaw gun. I'm
24:09
glad we finally got to the point where cars are
24:11
just a thing. No,
24:15
it's good. I'm glad we've gotten here. Yeah, no,
24:17
this is good. No, nobody stopped you. Ali, that
24:20
was, I had, I had
24:22
two minutes to stop you at any point and
24:24
I didn't. We have cars now. What?
24:26
We only have one and it got cut in half. Okay.
24:31
Now that I'm more machine than man, I
24:35
think your Uber has arrived. Get in. See,
24:38
most, we don't have to kill him. Okay.
24:41
You convinced me for now. Neil
24:44
hops in to the car. We
24:46
cut now the financial district. Strange.
24:51
Here on binge night, nothing looks
24:53
that different in the financial district.
24:55
Just a little bit of, of
24:57
cutting political satire from your friends here
25:00
at rude tales of magic. These
25:02
people, they break the law every day and they
25:04
get away with it. They don't
25:06
even care. They live so far above the
25:09
common unwashed masses like you and I.
25:12
They don't, they don't care. This
25:15
is a normal night for them. And the
25:17
financial district looks full. No
25:20
crime is occurring whatsoever.
25:23
Jonathan turns on. The
25:25
headlights of the car. Trying to
25:27
find Drogo flipping a coin
25:29
outside of a bank as he was
25:31
promised he would find. Yeah.
25:34
Can you turn those, turn those headlights on and
25:36
can I have you make a perception roll for
25:38
me? With advantage, you got headlights. Oh,
25:40
thank you so much. Jonathan
25:44
has a poor wisdom. So
25:46
that's a nine. Okay. And
25:48
another nine. Incredible. You're
25:50
going to have to take one of those nines. Luckily
25:53
you can take the higher ones. You got advantage. The
25:56
second one felt more earned. All right. You
25:58
take that one. You turn on the headlight and
26:01
you don't see this guy. You
26:05
hit a bank and inside you see a banker
26:07
who hisses at you and
26:09
he scurries away. Well,
26:12
I got nothing in this particular direction. I'm
26:14
aiming my head like that. He
26:16
may have gotten away. Moose
26:18
has darkvision and he's just going to look around
26:21
generally. Oh, great. Oh, yeah,
26:23
you got darkvision. You look around generally
26:25
and make a perception roll for me.
26:29
Not with advantage. Because fuck you.
26:33
That's fine because I got an 18. God
26:35
damn it. All right. You look around
26:37
and you see him. There. Almost
26:40
like several feet away from where the light of the
26:42
headlights hit, you see
26:45
Drogo Universal Healthcare. He looks cut
26:47
from marble. Neil is literally cut
26:49
from marble. This guy looks cut
26:51
from marble. Did
26:54
a fucking ripped way. He
26:56
is shirtless. He has
26:58
spiked, obnoxious spiked blonde hair.
27:01
He's got a perfectly symmetrical face. His features
27:03
look like they could cut glass. He has
27:06
pouty lips and he is leaning against the
27:08
bank next to a huge sack of money
27:10
with a big dollar sign on it. Branson,
27:12
I want to be super clear about this. Is
27:16
he leaning against the bank he robbed?
27:19
Well, you don't have
27:21
any real way of knowing that for sure,
27:23
right? All you have is the images and
27:25
you can put that context together. There is
27:27
a smashed window to that bank. There
27:30
is a trail of stacks of hundred dollar bills
27:32
leading from the bank to his bag. And
27:36
he is flipping a coin and the coin
27:38
with your dark vision that's so fucking good,
27:41
you can see the coin says property of
27:43
the bank next to Drogo Universal Healthcare. Oh
27:48
no. Looks like I own Maybelline
27:50
1%. There
27:56
and then Neil sees him. Oh my
27:58
gosh. Dibs. Not
28:00
for long and and Moose
28:02
pulls out his to hand.
28:04
Gonna get into this guy
28:06
has her I'll put come
28:08
on Incredible! Make an attack
28:10
roll on this that is
28:12
a seventeen seventy yeah wow
28:14
that his on a different
28:16
show because I'm this know
28:18
what happens is drug of
28:20
universal healthcare. He looks up
28:22
and not today. Ricocheted
28:30
and it flies into the other bank
28:32
where there was the hissing banker. From
28:34
inside, you hear. Oh
28:37
impossible I had near.
28:39
Perfect aim how fast as you
28:41
say? Not today. I. Have
28:44
quickly for bullet. you know a
28:46
guns are relatively new technology here
28:48
you have time to like talk
28:51
a little the as they were
28:53
figured out. The speed forget who
28:55
you shooting earth or Jonathan is
28:57
like looking every which way. Very
29:00
panic underneath his horse mask. Throw
29:02
go Universal Healthcare. Step forward and
29:04
under three lies and he is
29:07
completely eliminate wearing dark sunglasses a
29:09
glimmer under the street life. Have
29:13
you come here to take my money? Why
29:15
bother? Why not just feel from one of
29:18
the other things. We haven't come for the
29:20
money, we've come to take you win and
29:22
also the money. Interesting. I knew you were
29:25
going. To say that listen mister his
29:27
sins night and we're benching and we
29:29
don't feel like going into the bank.
29:31
we feel like taking it for meal.
29:34
So give us that money. And
29:37
then turned to ten. Census
29:43
a girl and your weapons
29:45
are useless against me through
29:48
his universal feel fair. Oh
29:50
yeah, no geared shared Thursday
29:53
out and Jonathan raises his
29:55
chain saw gone it's Vo
29:57
and he fires. oh. whirring,
30:00
hissing, smoking chainsaw
30:03
right after. Oh!
30:06
I really misunderstood you. I thought it was
30:08
a chainsaw that shot bullets, but this is
30:10
a gun that shoots chainsaws. Yeah. Chris,
30:13
once again I've underestimated you. I
30:16
wish you'd stop underestimating me. And
30:20
yet you've underestimated Drogo Universal Healthcare.
30:22
What? No. Because before you've even
30:24
pulled the gun up,
30:26
he has stepped out of the way
30:28
and your attack misses him completely. Ha
30:31
ha, fool! Just let me have my
30:33
money. We do not need to be
30:35
enemies here on this night. I promise
30:37
you, you do not want Drogo Universal
30:39
Healthcare as an enemy. Very
30:41
well, Drogo. Why is that? Why
30:44
should we be friends and not
30:46
enemies? Because I
30:48
have glasses on my head which let me
30:50
see three seconds into the future. Ahhh!
30:54
What? What? No
30:57
fucking way. Your sunglasses?
30:59
That's right. That's so cool.
31:03
Matt, they do create a bizarre
31:06
psychic effect for me where I constantly feel
31:08
a little bit drunk because I am always
31:10
hearing what is about to happen as well
31:12
as what is happening. It's like a weird
31:14
double vision kind of thing. But
31:16
yes, I have sunglasses on my head
31:18
that let me see three seconds into
31:21
the future. If that's true, then tell
31:23
me and Moose raises a fist. How
31:25
many fingers I'm about to hold up.
31:28
One, the middle finger at me. Moose
31:30
raises his middle finger. Damn it! Nice!
31:34
And so you see, beyond a shadow of
31:36
a doubt, I've proven the ability of my
31:38
special glasses. Now
31:41
why don't you just keep me alone, let me
31:43
steal from the bank, and you can even steal
31:45
from your own bank here. I won't stop you.
31:48
Alright, that sounds fine with me. Hey,
31:51
um, Neil? Yeah?
31:54
What do you think? It's got some
31:57
interesting opportunities for your first binge
31:59
night. for like how many
32:01
levels of rule breaking you can do here. Okay,
32:04
well here's the thing. I
32:06
was really looking for some insurance
32:08
fraud or drug possession, but
32:11
I suppose either battery of this
32:13
individual or stealing from the bank will
32:15
have to do? Here's one thing. If
32:18
you can get your hands on
32:20
some future glasses, you
32:22
can go absolutely bonkers on crime
32:24
tonight. You can really knock it out.
32:27
Okay. Just a pitch. I
32:30
think this is a, you know, I think
32:32
a mistake here is like coming at this guy from
32:34
the front. This is a clear case of a sneak
32:36
attack. So don't just ask him. He's
32:38
got to not see it coming. Don't, okay.
32:40
And also, Moose, I
32:43
am not a smart man. I want
32:45
to be very clear, but I also have
32:47
the feeling that we can't
32:49
even see it coming. You
32:52
know? I got to agree. On
32:54
paper, I am a smart but not wise
32:56
man, so I got to agree. Looking
32:59
at your character's teeth. I've got
33:01
a pretty good constitution. And
33:05
me, I am dexterous. I
33:08
am wise. Me or
33:10
tell us what to do. If
33:13
this isn't naturalistic dialogue, I don't know
33:15
what is. Neither
33:17
do I. I'm not a smart man. I'm an
33:19
11 smart man. On a scale of 1 to
33:22
20, with 1 or 20
33:24
being an insane extreme, I'd put my
33:26
intelligence at about a 13. Someone
33:30
is leaning back in their chair, putting their hands
33:32
behind their head and saying, finally, they're
33:34
using their sheets. This
33:38
is what you wanted, by the way. Anyone who wanted us to use
33:40
the sheets, this is what it was going to look like. He's
33:43
like, okay, okay, okay. Well, it seems like
33:45
you have all decided or will decide, at
33:47
least in the next three seconds, not to
33:49
attack me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm
33:52
going to go murder an old friend of
33:54
mine, Tommy Whistle. What
33:57
did you say? Well,
34:00
I already know you're not going to react to it
34:02
well, but I'm going to murder
34:04
an old friend of mine, Tommy Whistle.
34:06
He bested me for a romantic rival
34:09
in our youth. So it
34:11
seems that you are a man
34:13
who can see the future, but you're also a
34:15
liar. Because the Tommy
34:17
Whistle I know has no friends, to
34:20
a fault. He
34:22
seems incapable of declaring someone as a
34:24
friend or acknowledging them as a friend,
34:27
or like even admitting that
34:29
their social pleasant activities amount
34:31
to friendship. It is
34:33
a character game he clings to like a
34:35
small dog with a toy, isn't it? Um,
34:38
and as they're talking- I mean, he's
34:41
not here to defend himself. This
34:43
is actually- crosses a strange psychic
34:45
line I've drawn. That hat's pretty
34:47
big though, right? I mean, like, how big is that hat gonna
34:49
be? Yes, we're talking. Neil
34:52
backs up into the shadows. She's
34:54
covered in ash, so she disappears
34:57
completely. And as she backs
34:59
up into those shadows, you realize that
35:01
she's going the other way away
35:03
from Drogo, but next to the
35:06
building. And as soon as she
35:08
gets in the shadow, she just turns and runs
35:10
and starts circling the building to like run at
35:12
him from the other side of the building. Oh
35:15
yeah. You know, if her speed
35:17
is correlated to her strength pretty fast, she makes
35:20
it to the other side of the building. Well,
35:22
let me ask you a question, Allie. Let me ask you
35:24
a question, because I think this is an interesting point. Usually,
35:28
yeah, we use dexterity to determine people's
35:30
speed, but let me ask you a
35:32
question. Are you using your muscles to
35:34
run? That's so
35:37
interesting. I am. Okay,
35:40
now every other D&D character uses
35:42
their nimble fingers to run, apparently.
35:45
So this works fine for you. Which
35:47
is great, because where I used
35:49
my nimble fingers, I would do poorly.
35:53
So she runs using her muscles around
35:56
the entire bank, and
35:58
then runs to run. directly at
36:00
Drogo to make an attack kick. Three
36:03
seconds before you connect with him, you hear him
36:05
shout, Oh, the back of my skull!
36:07
And then he ducks. And
36:09
you go sailing above him and you
36:12
miss him completely. Did she come
36:14
flying at us? Yes. Hey!
36:17
Yeah, she launches past him. And
36:19
then, I guess, probably kicks Moose
36:21
right in the chest. Actually, Neil, I need
36:23
you to make an attack roll on your friends. Oh
36:26
no! Binge Knight. Oh,
36:28
I just... I
36:31
got 17. I'm
36:33
really gonna hurt my friends. 17?
36:35
What are your constitutions? Mine's a
36:37
15. Okay? My
36:39
constitution is 13. 13?
36:43
So you do a flying kick and you hit
36:45
both of them. You hit Moose into Jonathan large.
36:48
Oh no! Oh!
36:50
I respect this as part of your strategy.
36:54
And Jonathan crumples
36:57
into two again, losing his grip
36:59
on the front and back half
37:01
of the split car that he
37:03
was piloting. Binge
37:06
Knight isn't all fun and games. Get
37:10
off of me, you cud! Oh,
37:13
sorry! Get you! Sorry! Neil,
37:16
very slowly is on top of
37:18
this. I'm sorry.
37:22
Never do that again. I
37:24
was trying to attack Drogo. Never
37:28
do that again. She
37:31
squares off and
37:33
starts to glare. Make
37:36
me never do that again.
37:40
I've been waiting for a reason. Putting
37:42
a statue in their place? Why, couldn't
37:45
ask for a better job. She turns
37:47
her chainsaw on. This
37:49
statue is gonna fuck
37:52
your ass up, bitch. And she
37:54
jumps at him again. Make
37:57
an attack roll on Moose. Okay. Oh,
38:00
okay. So I gotta... I
38:02
gotta eat. Okay. That's not...
38:04
You're not gonna hit. You, uh, you pull on
38:07
your chainsaw and you fly. You want yourself at
38:09
Moose. But Moose, you see this coming. It takes
38:11
a second to rev a chainsaw. You can tell
38:13
what's happening here. Yeah. Moose, what are you gonna
38:15
do? Moose, uh, Moose is still...
38:17
You know, Moose got the wind knocked out of him. Um,
38:21
but with... with just moments
38:23
to spare, he ducks and
38:25
rolls away. As
38:27
he does, he reaches behind his back.
38:29
From, like, tucked into the waistline of
38:32
his pants, he pulls out a chisel.
38:36
No. Son of a bitch. You
38:39
wouldn't dare. He, like, spins it in his
38:41
hand. It's
38:43
binge night, Neil. Everything is dared.
38:53
Thanks for the ride home. We had no
38:55
idea that you were allowed to bring your
38:57
own car to your state-mandated community service. I
38:59
was planning on walking the whole way. It's
39:02
two miles! We must have been
39:04
quite a sight by the side of the road
39:06
when you pulled over. We look dirtier than a
39:08
set of traditional bedsheets. Traditional bedsheets
39:10
can harbor more bacteria than a toilet
39:12
seat. It can lead to acne, allergies,
39:14
and stuffy noses, and it's just gross.
39:17
But you don't have to sweep
39:19
that way. Miracle Maid offers a
39:21
whole line of self-cleaning, eco-friendly beddings
39:23
such as sheets, pillowcases, and comforters,
39:25
bed things that prevent 99% of
39:29
bacteria and require three times less
39:31
laundry. Oops. Looks like we
39:33
distracted you with bedsheet faxing. And
39:36
you missed the exit. That's okay. We can
39:38
still direct you to our destination from the
39:40
next exit. Oh, and in the
39:42
meantime, we can talk more about sheets! Miracle
39:45
Maid uses silver-infused fabrics inspired by
39:47
NASA, making them thermal-regulating and designed
39:50
to keep you at the perfect
39:52
temperature every night. Also,
39:54
all that stuff about preventing disgusting bacterial
39:56
growth. Hmm.
39:58
It seems you... might know a different
40:01
way to our home than we're familiar with.
40:03

41:00
we're being kidnapped aren't we? It
41:02
appears so. No release us. Boy
41:09
were those ads convincing and we're back.
41:14
Moose squaring off against his
41:16
ally rival unclear Neil
41:19
readies the chisel in his hand and leaps
41:22
at her. Midair as
41:24
Moose is leaping towards Neil. Neil
41:26
throws the chainsaw away and then
41:28
she spits on the ground and
41:31
it pisses righteously because within her
41:33
of course as she is a
41:35
gargoyle and not just a grotesque
41:37
she has a spout in her mouth
41:39
that leads directly to holy water
41:41
and she says ready
41:43
to be a virgin again and she
41:46
jumps at him. You're both jumping at each
41:48
other in midair yeah it's like anime style
41:50
I need you both to make attack rolls
41:52
on the other whoever rolls higher gets the
41:54
hit. And if it's anime style she's
41:57
like the spit has like surrounded her
41:59
in like like
42:01
a spiral, you know? Oh
42:03
yeah, yeah. The spit of holy water. This
42:06
is my role tonight, I got an 18.
42:09
I got a 15, fuck. Chisel connect.
42:13
Moose, what happened? Moose aims
42:15
it squarely for like where
42:18
Neil's solar plexus would be if she
42:20
had like a normal skeleton. He goes
42:22
vault to the center. Now
42:25
when he connects, pushes her back and they
42:27
fly into the wall of the bank. So
42:29
she's pinned now against the wall and he's
42:32
got the chisel pressed again, sort
42:34
of the center of her chest. Has
42:36
he dug in yet or no? No. Moose,
42:41
don't do it. Above
42:44
everything, you threatened
42:46
to make me a virgin. And
42:50
you hated me for
42:53
seemingly no reason. No
42:56
reason, you never asked, I've got a
42:58
reason. All right, fine,
43:01
tell me. It
43:03
was years ago. Ha ha
43:05
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
43:07
ha ha ha ha ha ha. I
43:11
was just a boy in
43:13
the dwarven kingdom. Mount Stonerok, maybe you've
43:15
heard of it? I have. Well,
43:18
it was an idyllic youth in many ways,
43:20
but I was the youngest of my
43:22
brothers. There were 12 of us. 12
43:25
brothers and sometimes they played with
43:27
me. Played tricks and
43:29
practical jokes and the like, pranks if
43:31
you will. Of course.
43:35
One day they brought me into the square
43:38
of the great dwarven city in
43:41
the heart of the mountain. And they
43:43
said, look Moose, look, a new statue
43:45
has arrived. And
43:48
I stared up upon this beautiful
43:50
sculpture of a man, a warrior.
43:53
He was proud and tall and
43:55
strong. And I marveled at the
43:57
incredible dwarven craftsmanship of this statue.
44:00
It was awesome. I said,
44:02
brothers, yes, our city has never known
44:04
glories like this. It's
44:09
fucking Norm McDonald over here. Bruce,
44:14
I don't understand. Why would this make you
44:16
hate me? Let me
44:18
continue the story. There's more? Of
44:21
course. My
44:28
brothers encouraged me. They said,
44:30
Moose, go closer. Go closer to
44:32
the statue. Inspect
44:35
the marvel of this art. So I
44:37
did. I got close. I got so close.
44:40
I put my tiny little dwarven face
44:42
as close to the statue as I
44:44
could. And
44:48
that? That kneel is when the statue's
44:50
face turned to me and yelled, boo.
44:54
It was not a statue, you see. It was merely
44:56
a performer
44:58
in silver body paint.
45:02
Were you on a boardwalk? I
45:05
said I was in the main square of the dwarven city in the
45:07
heart of a mountain. Moose.
45:11
Like the brothers, all 11 of them,
45:13
they laughed and laughed at me. For
45:18
years after that, they called me the
45:20
statue fool. I
45:23
was so ashamed, Neil. I
45:25
was so ashamed. And
45:27
I swore from that day forth, I would
45:29
never let another statue get the better of
45:32
me. Moose, your
45:35
story of trauma does not
45:37
satisfy me. She
45:39
spits on his face. Oh,
45:42
Neil, is that just spit or is
45:44
that holy water? It's
45:46
holy water. And
45:48
it's the kind that makes you a
45:50
virgin again. Is that a specific
45:53
kind? It's not
45:55
a kind I'm familiar with. Okay, but that is the
45:57
thing you could do, right? No.
46:00
What? Why not? No, I mean like... I
46:02
mean sure, we're playing a makeup game. It
46:05
depends on the sect of Christianity.
46:07
She spits holy water on his
46:09
face and makes him a virgin
46:11
again. Moose,
46:13
we flash into your head
46:15
and we see the faces
46:17
of hundreds of women from
46:20
your past as they all cry out
46:22
at once and then they're silent and
46:24
they just hear. We see a memory
46:27
of Maybelline moonlight under a white sheet
46:30
just like with sunlight streaming in.
46:33
Moose, Moose, wake up! Wake up, Moose! Oh
46:35
no! And she's pulled away
46:37
and the sheets disappear and she's
46:39
gone and... You're
46:42
a virgin. Happy
46:45
binge night. Moose
46:51
stumbles back, stunned. It
46:54
was all there and now it's... It's
46:57
all gone. No moves,
47:00
no lines, no
47:03
rhythm. But
47:06
I... I love having
47:08
sex. You can... You
47:14
can have sex again. You
47:17
can have sex again. I've simply taken
47:19
your skill and your knowledge and your
47:21
experience from you. Part of
47:23
what I enjoyed about having sex was how good I am
47:25
at it. And part of what I
47:27
like about being a statue is being
47:30
treated like anyone else. She
47:33
says so self-righteously,
47:36
your story of woe did not move me. Yeah,
47:39
Moose is gonna leap back at her with his
47:41
chisel. Dang it, no! Moose,
47:45
make an attack roll on Neil. Nine!
47:49
Three seconds before you're able
47:51
to even think to strike,
47:54
Jonathan reaches out and
47:56
clutches your chisel hand and gives
47:58
you... A kiss
48:00
of forgiveness on your cheek with
48:02
his left
48:05
hand... no, his center face. You
48:08
see that Jonathan Large is wearing Drogo
48:12
Universal Healthcare sunglasses. It
48:16
might be binge night, but we
48:18
don't need to binge on hate. Jonathan,
48:21
how did you do it? Huh? Do
48:23
what? Oh, I had these glasses,
48:25
so I was able to see where he was aiming
48:28
for you and I stopped him. How did
48:30
you get the glasses? Oh,
48:34
now that's a story. And
48:38
so from nearby you, next to you, tied
48:40
up in the big bag of money with just
48:42
his head sticking out, but he's tied tight. Drogo
48:46
Universal Healthcare, he says, do you
48:49
want to tell the story or should I? It's
48:51
quite a yarn. Uh,
48:56
why don't we take turns? Okay,
48:59
the weirdest way to tell this story. But
49:03
most collaborative, and
49:05
I usually don't collaborate with my
49:07
enemies, but it's binge
49:10
night. So there I was, dragging all of
49:12
the money away. And as we say this, we
49:14
go to the scene and we actually see
49:16
it play out. Uh, Drogo Universal
49:18
Healthcare, he's got a three second head start
49:20
and he's dragging all of the money away.
49:22
He's leaving a trail of hundred dollar bills,
49:24
but what if he fucking cares? He's got
49:26
a huge bag full of cash. He's dragging
49:28
it through the alley
49:30
laughing to himself. I'm sure to get away
49:33
Scott's three from this one. Jonathan large lies
49:35
on the crown, his spine in the shape
49:37
of a U. He is so broken. Wait,
49:43
wait, my, my friends are
49:45
too busy indulging in their
49:48
basis instincts. And I
49:50
have injured. No, I won't wait. I'm going
49:52
to take my money and go. I
49:54
have no need of you people. I offered you
49:57
my friendship and you spat at me. You pushed
49:59
my hand away. Please,
50:01
it's binge night. Binge
50:03
on a second chance. Hehehe,
50:07
sure why not. I have the complete upper hand
50:09
here. I have glasses that let me see three
50:11
seconds into the future and you have a broken
50:13
spine on the ground. You are no threat to
50:16
me. Precisely. Why not? My
50:18
race is already won. In fact, I could even just
50:21
lay up against a tree and take a little nap.
50:23
That's how far ahead of you I am right now.
50:26
Truly I am the hair. Okay, I'm
50:28
just asking for your help with my
50:30
injury. Oh sure, sure. How
50:32
can I be of the season to you? Straighten
50:35
out my fucking spine, man. Interesting.
50:39
Straighten out your fucking spine. Yes, of course. Okay,
50:41
I'll see what I can do. And
50:43
he walks around and he grabs you by the
50:46
top of the head and the shoulders. Yep. And
50:48
he just sort of adjusts and goes, okay now-
50:50
Oh! Oh no, that would kill you. Okay,
50:53
what if I do a little- Oh! Oh,
50:55
that would have killed you too. Hmm,
50:58
this is a bit of a pickle. Ugh,
51:01
you're so close. Hey,
51:04
I can tell you're afraid to practice medicine
51:06
without a license. Well,
51:09
yeah, I mean, there's a pain grabber, a
51:11
Nazi monster. I don't want to kill an
51:13
innocent man. I don't want that unmanned. Hey,
51:16
don't worry about it. I'm only
51:18
half a man anyway. Why
51:21
don't you try to practice veterinary
51:24
medicine without a license? Oh,
51:27
okay, yeah, this is truly,
51:29
if I'm reading this correctly, truly a dark
51:31
and low moment for you. As
51:33
you ask me to put you out of your misery, I'll
51:36
do what I can. He's got a hand around your neck
51:38
and he's like ready to snap your neck. Any
51:40
last words? Oh, uh,
51:43
I guess- Do
51:46
a good job. I do what
51:48
I can. And as he goes, he
51:50
goes to twist and your neck is
51:53
so strong and overdeveloped. It's a little
51:55
difficult. It's a little tricky to- Hold
51:57
on. Let me just readjust-
52:00
just by fluting, and
52:03
as he tries and tries and on the
52:05
third one he really puts some English on
52:07
it and he knocks his sunglasses off of
52:09
his head. Jonathan Large reveals
52:11
that he's been
52:13
doing horse yoga for a
52:15
very long time indeed and
52:18
he strains his spine
52:21
extending his body out
52:23
like a springy rocket
52:25
aiming his eyeballs as
52:27
new sunglasses catapulting
52:30
through them into the
52:32
night sky. Oh no!
52:34
Is this the end of me? Filled
52:36
by child's pose? This
52:39
is just your beginning! Jonathan Large
52:41
lands on all fours trotting
52:44
around, kicking up dirt, wearing
52:47
cool future vision sunglasses over
52:49
his normal cool sunglasses. So
52:52
now Jonathan, what you can see, you see
52:54
the real, you see real time, you see
52:57
what's actually happening and you also like in
52:59
Mario Kart when you're racing your ghost, you
53:02
know how like you die at the end of
53:04
Mario Kart and your ghost races or something? I
53:06
don't know the metaphysics of it, but you
53:08
see the ghost of everything that
53:11
Drogo Universal Healthcare is about to do in
53:13
three seconds and you see a ghost charging
53:15
at you and he pulls a knife from
53:18
his elbows and you snap it into your
53:20
neck, you feel the phantom pain
53:22
in your neck. As you see now
53:25
with the three, as a presence now, you see
53:28
Drogo Universal Healthcare reaching into his belt
53:30
as he begins to charge at you.
53:32
In slow motion, Jonathan Large realizes
53:36
everything. I would
53:38
rather that not happen.
53:42
Burn! As
53:45
Jonathan like kicks up a front hoof
53:48
to block the blade. Yeah,
53:50
the blade hits your hoof and he needs to
53:52
get stuck in your hoof. Oh no, oh no!
53:55
And now you see Drogo
53:57
Universal Healthcare, you see the ghost split off
53:59
from him. now and he goes
54:01
around you and he's looking and he's panicking
54:03
he picks up a gun off the ground and
54:05
aims it at your head. He fires in
54:07
the bullet in slow motion head towards you. Jonathan
54:11
Large is confused for a moment
54:13
as he sees himself in
54:16
ghost mode standing next to Drogo
54:19
universal health care, taking
54:23
the gun and pulling it away and
54:25
then remembering to wave at himself in the
54:27
past as he's already catching up to the
54:29
idea that he can see so much in
54:32
the future at that moment. He says, oh
54:34
hey Jonathan and then
54:36
ghost Jonathan says, hey Jonathan don't
54:38
forget to grab this guy's gun like
54:41
right now and as
54:43
the word now happens you feel the
54:45
gun and you grab it. Whoa, catching
54:47
up what a rush. He
54:50
looks around he looks to his left
54:52
he looks to his right because it's
54:54
that worth dying over and he turns
54:56
and the ghost begins to sprint and
54:58
it slips on a one of the
55:01
100 dollar bills it slips in its
55:03
face point. No, I
55:05
don't want you to be so humbled. Jonathan
55:08
gallops to save him from
55:11
tripping too hard. He dodges
55:13
you even so. I know your tricks. I
55:16
know you're lying to me about the future and now it's time
55:18
to call it first. And he slips on the 100
55:20
dollar bill and he thinks he's knocked out.
55:23
Shame. Well,
55:26
let's go see what my friends are doing. And
55:28
we cut back to the present. I
55:31
hope this made everything perfectly clear.
55:34
It was an exquisite corpse and
55:37
we and we see now Moose is
55:39
now completely
55:41
clean shaven and his
55:44
his formerly open weather
55:47
vest is now buttoned up. Oh
55:51
no, Neil is beginning to
55:53
experience a bit of binge
55:55
night regret already but she
55:58
swallows it down. Jonathan. Neil.
56:02
Great work. Oh, thanks.
56:04
I guess we can just split up the money and go
56:07
our separate ways. I
56:09
guess binge night's over. No,
56:11
Neil is hardly over. We've
56:14
got so many more crimes we can
56:16
do tonight, including not going to bed
56:18
at a reasonable hour. Is
56:21
that a law? Not a law. I still
56:23
have a lot more on my list. You guys want
56:26
to keep binging? Baby,
56:28
I'm born to binge. And
56:30
we cut now to a series of sequences, a
56:32
montage around the city of the three
56:34
of you committing binge night crimes, getting
56:37
everything out of your system before the
56:39
terrible urge year begins. What do we
56:41
see? We see the gang
56:43
at a mattress store ripping the tags
56:45
off of every bed mattress in sight.
56:49
The owner nods approvingly. I
56:51
always hated those tags. We
56:53
see everyone in the headquarters
56:55
of the Internal Revenue Service
56:57
as Jonathan Large desperately searches
56:59
for his tax return to
57:01
write down a different number
57:03
on the list. You
57:07
see Neil digging up very old
57:10
graves and then putting
57:12
the dirt back on them. Moose is
57:14
at a mailbox sending threatening
57:16
letters to all of his brothers. Neil
57:19
is at an over-the-counter
57:21
pharmacy aisle,
57:23
and she's putting
57:25
Tylenol and Advil into her
57:28
pocket and looking
57:31
around like, is anyone interested in
57:33
the drug possession that I have going on?
57:37
A pharmacist shakes their head at you
57:39
and says, what a weird crime. Moose
57:43
is walking around a neighborhood and
57:45
forcing every home to quarter soldiers.
57:49
She's got a long line of soldiers. You're
57:53
knocking, and they open. They go, ugh, fine.
57:55
Let them in. Jonathan
57:57
Large stands in front of a
57:59
house. a quaint two-story small
58:01
house with a small yard
58:03
in the front. It's surrounded
58:05
by skyscrapers. It looks adorable.
58:07
He's been scoping it for
58:09
months now. He cocks
58:11
his chainsaw gun. I have to
58:14
do this. The only
58:16
way I can own a home. We're
58:19
behind you, Jonathan. Thank
58:21
you, Neil. Jonathan gallops into
58:23
the house and does
58:25
whatever he has to do to claim
58:28
ownership of this building for
58:30
his new home. Yeah, the owner of the house...
58:33
No, please! Please don't chase us through all the
58:35
paperwork that names me as the sole owner of
58:37
this home! I'm doing it!
58:40
Gah! You decapitate him.
58:44
Oh, yeah, well... Buckets
58:46
of blood are pouring out the windows.
58:48
We stand outside. Moose and Neil stand
58:51
outside watching. He did it. It's my
58:53
house now! It's my house now! Moose
58:56
and Neil, as you watch, you
58:58
feel the first little glimmers
59:00
of daylight as the sun begins to rise
59:02
over the horizon. There's
59:04
one more thing I must do! And
59:06
Moose runs down the street
59:09
and up the stairs, the imposing stone
59:11
stairs of a library. Inside,
59:13
the card catalog is put
59:15
into complete disarray. Books are
59:17
thrown every which way. He
59:21
douses them in oil and lights a
59:23
match, setting the whole building ablaze. And
59:25
as he walks back down those steps,
59:27
he carries one book, not checked out,
59:30
under his arm. That book... Sex
59:33
or Dummies. He's got
59:35
the little guy who looks like the guy
59:37
from the Descendants album, pointing a finger, yeah.
59:40
But he looks weirdly pleased. Yeah!
59:44
He's got lipstick marks all over his face. As
59:47
Moose exits the library, Neil smiles
59:49
at him, looks down to the
59:51
sidewalk and scuffs her shoe, catching
59:54
sight of her
59:56
chest, where she sees... There's
59:59
a word. It's actually two words. What
1:00:02
is it? It says,
1:00:06
Can move. As
1:00:08
a warning to others who might think, Neil is
1:00:10
just an inanimate object. Son
1:00:12
of a bitch! Sparing future passers-by from
1:00:14
the shame that Moose has carried with him since his
1:00:17
youngest days. She
1:00:20
is furious. Their
1:00:22
rivalry is fueled even
1:00:24
hotter. We'll
1:00:26
have to tell that story another day, because this day has
1:00:29
only begun. That's right.
1:00:32
The sun has risen in the sky and
1:00:34
it's morning, which means our episode has come
1:00:36
to a thrilling conclusion. Good night everybody, or
1:00:38
should I say good morning? That
1:00:42
was Ali Fett. I'm
1:00:44
going to tell you a story. I'm going
1:00:46
to tell you a story. I'm going to
1:00:48
tell you a story. I'm going to tell
1:00:50
you a story. I'm going to tell you a
1:00:52
story. That
1:00:55

bones are wet.
