And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because used to you, you like had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year?

Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better, and it's called Rocket Money.

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it.

Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,

but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah.

So that was money. What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first. But then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out.

So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

So check out Trey's Game of Thrones reviews on his Facebook. God damn, they've been hilarious.

This episode right here is a doozy. I don't even want to give you any prep work for it, but we have a lot of fun talking about zoo animals. That's all I'll tell you right now. But let's get into it. And excuse. Well, well. Here we are.

Yeah. Here we are. We're here. Corey's not at. So right before I jumped on here, no, Corey's not at the zoo. this time or wherever he was at an overpass by a zoo or

wherever that was. Oh yeah, it was birds. Overpassed by a zoo would, that'd be like hot real estate here in L.A. I could probably get you know a couple grand a month for that. Yeah. Trey's drinking this coffee. I'm looking at him like as if people can

see what you're doing. Yeah. What's it like about what's it like on zoos out there? Like I know San Diego zoos. What's it like on zoos? What about all zoos out there? What about you? You mean, like, do people have a problem with them? Because...

I'm saying, are there protests all the time? Yes, exactly. Because I'll be honest with you. I mean, I do a little bit, but not enough to be like... I go and it'll be like, damn, this is rad. Okay, let's get into zoos. Zos made me uncomfortable. I think zoos do more good

than harm. Like, I think they outweigh the shitty parts of what zoos are with the good parts. of what. My mama says that about prison, too. Yeah, that's what I was about to say. You sound like... That's bullshit.

Prison is punitive. Zos do like conservation work and that type of thing and hell with endangered species and all that sort of shit. Like, and education and making people give a fuck about animals and yada yada and all this. Like, zoos do good shit. Prisons make people give a fuck about animals too. No, prisons are not. Do you remember?

God damn it. No, zoos are prisons. No, they're not. No, zoos are prisons. No, they're not. No, I. I, I, I, I, pr, blah, blah, blah. Zos make me uncomfortable, but I also agree with what you said.

Yeah. Being there makes me uncomfortable. Like, I look at that fucking tiger. I mean, dude, we went to the, D.C., my friend whose name is Daniel Childs and he's in my phone is D. D.C. just texted me. We went to the L.A. Zoo recently. That's why I said D.C.

Yeah, well, to answer your question very quickly, Corey, no, I've been to the LA Zoo, like three times with the boys. I've never seen any. No. Yeah. Okay. Well, it's just a zoo. And that makes me feel better about the whole thing.

And yeah, the San Diego one thing, if it wasn't the best zoo in the world. But this tiger was pacing back and forth. And it just, he looked like, he looked like someone having an anxiety fit. And it did make me very uncomfortable. But I also am aware that they do a lot of conservation type stuff. I do, I'm sure it don't hit to be in a zoo. Correct me if I'm wrong. They're not for profit.

No. Almost every one of them that I know of is not because you can't really make a profit. Right. Well, I mean, there you go. Capitalism is a problem. guys, not zoos. For sure. Well, that, yeah, when you add profit to animals, like, you know, circuses and shit like that,

that's when they start getting abused and fucked over, which is, SeaWorld. Sea world, exactly. Which is why that shit exists less and less in, you know, the developed world. Right. I can't sit here and act like my cynical heart doesn't just know 100% though that every zoo with their heart in the right place is like, look, if we're going to save this ugly fucking fish, we've got to get a tiger in here, God damn it. Absolutely.

You know, that don't hit, but it is what it is. Yeah, that absolutely happens. There was a whole thing about aquariums and great white sharks. It was like a thing in the aquarium world for a long time, like a competition to be the first aquarium to exhibit great white sharks, but you can't, it can't be done. No one's ever been able to do it. They don't, they just don't do it. They just die.

Yeah. Like, you can't, great white sharks, as far as we're aware, literally cannot exist in captivity. God damn, son. Yeah, that rules. It's wild. But it's a whole, yeah, they're bad. How long do they, how long does it take for them to die once I get in there? I think it's like, I don't remember.

It's on the way in, son. I think it's like, you know, like a couple weeks or something, I think. think. I was hoping you were going to say two hours. No. He just wasn't, fuck this shit. They get it on the boat and it's like, I'm out, bitch. He just throws up his stomach or whatever. I'm not going to do it.

So that's sad. Like, you know. All right, so to play devil's advocate then, as I want to do. Hold on real quick. Do you all remember we were high and went to that aquarium and the guy that worked at the aquarium showed us the octopus and was like, yeah, we had to. to put him in this much smaller tank because he kept escaping his other tank over and over and over again.

Wait. Y'all, y'all don't remember that? Yeah. It was in me. I don't remember going to an aquarium. Oh, I got plenty of videos of it. I'll send you a video to put out with the podcast. It was at the Mall of America, right?

Because I'm pretty, yes, I'm not sure. Yes. We were doing voices with the fish. It freaked us to fuck out when that, like, he said that. Some of which may have been. He said that and we were all just like, what did not fucking hit. I'm pleased you're just, you know, start. thinking about

that octopus being too smart to live in a goddamn zoo prison because he was basically in a test tube at that point So to play devil's advocate well let me make sure I understand the contention

to play Tasmanian devil's advocate here you're saying that the conservationism that is done is reliant upon the zoo structure that these conservation groups

can't do their conservation without having animal prisons. Basically, yeah. That's the other, the education and, like, awareness part and whatever. It, like, makes people give a fuck. And if there weren't no zoos, no one would give a fuck. I don't think people would give as much of a fuck. If you, if you like a-

I'm not sure people give a fuck anyway, but... I mean, some people do. I'm just making sure I understand the argument. They play a role in conservationism. What's that role? All kids love animals for the most part, except the ones that grow up to be. So we take them to a prison. But they don't, kids don't wrap their head around that concept.

Right. So they just see the animals and it makes animals hit harder for them. And some of them continue giving a fuck about animals as they grow up. A lot of them don't, you know. I raised my hand when I said that. I give a fuck about animals, but, you know. But I'm saying, like, it's, I just, overall, yeah, if you really start thinking about zoos, I mean, yeah, it's kind of depressing and fucked up.

But overall, I think they're a net positive. Well, there's also another thing, like, is those, I mean, you know, you can't tell the animals this on account of what we can't talk to them, but like, yeah, it sucks living captivity, but they also don't have to get it, which I mean, that does hit. Dude, if I was an animal, I think a zoo would hit for me. I know it would hit for you. Yeah, because I am. Like, depends on what kind of animal you are.

No, I'm saying if I was the tiger. was the me of tigers, which they might exist, probably not. They die if they're not in a zoo. Buddy, they died eons ago. Well, I'm just saying, I'm saying not the zoo ones. You can't be a tiger with Dwayne eyes.

Right. Dwayne eye tiger walking around a jungle, bumping into trees and shit. Unless you're in a zoo. Dwayne. I of the tiger. But also directly. It's the pill of the fight.

uh the they directly impact conservation too with like breeding efforts and stuff like that i know about that intensely endangered animals and stuff i mean they do a lot of good i know about that if you to last of your kind like we got to put you in prison to make sure you're yeah i get that it's for your own protection but i'm i'm just i'm not even saying that i'm feel this way i'm just like walking through this argument here because it does make you curious when we went to the la zoo i started i was doing a bit it's on my instagram story although not all of it saved because you have to put where you're at to get it to save. But anyway, I just was fucking with Andy.

Like, she would be like, oh, my God, look it. And I'd be like, he's miserable. He's in prison. That was the whole bit of her getting mad at me for telling her that all the animals were in prison. But I got to thinking about it, especially when I showed up at Tiger Cage, that tiger was having an anxiety fit. He was pacing back and forth, just roaring to himself.

Yeah. He was also all alone. See, them lines we saw that day, they had like six of their buddies there. The chimps was killing it. They had a club they went into. They all, they had to, they voted on something. They walked out. Some of them was pissed as hell.

Chimps find a way to make a hit, no matter where they're at, you know. They just chart it off in front of everybody. It's insane. Like, rub, poop on stuff. Like, you know, they, they. You said none one of them hanging upside down peeing in his own mouth. Yes. Yeah.

Chimps just chose. One of the monkeys. There was a lot of sad guerrillas there. I was about to say the, like, major predators and the more intelligent animals, like lions and tigers and gorillas. and stuff, I'm sure it don't hit for them being in a zoo, but I think a lot of the... They probably don't hit for birds. I bet like rhinos, I bet they're pretty fine with it.

It don't hit for birds. You know, hippos, they're probably pretty fine with it. It can't hit for birds. Hippos are bad ass. I don't think it hits for hippos. They are badass. They rule their area. They are badass, but they also, you know, is hippos.

I don't get it. They fat. Yeah, they fat and just be around. Yeah, but imagine if you're fat and bad ass and somebody wants... Like, hippos cover more ground than you're giving them credit for. They have, like, sections of rivers and land, and nobody fucks with them sections and land. You're welcome, Joe. Hip, Joe.

Hippos are bald and fat, so I just feel a natural, you know, hippos. And are smart. And they're smart. I'm saying, by your own metrics, I think hippos don't like the zoo. Because other than fat. They just seem lazy to me. I don't think, I mean, they're badass. They have a lot of territory.

They're territorial. What else was I going to? to say. Oh, they're smart. Don't they just like float and chill? Yeah, they're smart. You hear me say they were smart? Okay, but so they've got a float and chill area. Their floating chill area has been downsized dramatically. Not that specific hippo probably. He don't know.

They don't know, Drew. Hell. Because they're born in captivity? Yeah. They don't know no better. Don't you tell me what fucking hippos do and do not know? I don't think there's a way for me to make this funny, but it, came into my head, so I have to put it out there now. This is exactly like the...

Slave argument. They don't know any better. They like it. Yeah, they're better off anyway, hell. Yeah, I do not want to make the slave argument. But see, though, that's like a fundamental... Going back to the prison thing? I know you're not about to, but it sounded like you were about to.

Animals are not fucking people, man. I know that. Like going back to the whole zoos and prisons thing, they're not people. They don't perceive things. Okay, but that... There's two versions of that argument, though. They're not people, so why do we care so much? And then there's not people that one.

They don't perceive things the way we do. And, dude, animals... Like, you tell me birds, don't know it, don't hit, not to be able to fly as much. They do. I bet, like, parrots and stuff don't give a fuck. Maybe, but, like... They just sit up there and yell at people and stuff,

shit on kids. But they can't fly away afterwards. That's the best part. I don't think they give a fuck about flying. They do. They don't get a fuck about flying. Did chickens... Give a fuck about being able to leave after they shit on you and talk shit.

That's one of the better parts. They can't slam the door afterwards. I'm just not convinced that they all do. There are animals in the zoo. Absolutely. I guarantee you feel that way as much as an animal feels a way about a thing. But, like, I think a lot of them are probably pretty fucking okay. I think I agree with that, but I don't think it's a lot of them.

Go ahead, Corey. The people at the zoo, they almost universally, like, they love animals and are good and care about them and do that. their best with them and all that shit. I mean, I just don't think it's like the horrific situation that it gets painted as sometimes. First World zoos. I don't know about fucking zoos in Cambodia. Did they have third world zoos? Yeah.

Yeah. And they're apparently real fucked up too. Why? I got to put them tigers somewhere. I don't know. Hey, y'all. What's the thing? What's there?

They can't afford an American bear. I don't know. No bad. Snakes. There's a lot of snakes. Just snakes in baskets. Look, that's the one that ate my mama. Yeah, he got two years for that.

That's how it works there. They literally are prisons there. African zoos. It's just like, this line ate my brother, so he's here for four fucking years. Oh. Corey. You all remember them Caribbean chickens we was reading about two days ago? I remember being in the Ebor City, and we saw some chickens running around like we was in the Caribbean.

No, what? No, them island chickens that used to not be another. He's talking about those birds that was not at all in the Caribbean. It literally was on the other side of the continent. Were they chickens? They were. Well, it was a guy, it was a, I know it wasn't in the Caribbean, but Caribbean chicken chicken-type birds and they was on a fucking island.

I know it was. I was about to explain what you were doing. I got it late. What you were doing is you were making a thing that was real into a funnier thing, but because you're you, me and Trey thought we just had had a, conversation that you had had a conversation about Caribbean chickens with Robbie and thought it was us. Because he does that all the time. That's very fair. That's very fair. We were talking, me and him were talking the other day off Mike. I don't know if it's ever been brought up on the podcast, but

I'm sure avid listeners have picked up on it a time or two. Corey very much does that, that maimaw thing of my mom started doing it. Talking to you as if you were, as if you are aware of the all of the context of everything that he's saying. Saying people's names as if you know them in a context where you'd have to know them. Right. And there's no way that you know them. Yeah. Because he knew them when he was a sophomore.

Right. That's like a major thing he does. And so I thought like you were just saying what he was just doing right now. I thought he was doing that thing. We need a name for that. I mean, that me mom move. I mean, I think we've had a name for that and it might be offensive, but meem autism sounds about right. Meme autism

I mean, dude, if that's offensive, you can write mail letter, but that's fucking funny. But yeah, I've got that for sure. For the record, Mamm autism is funnier. Anyway, these Caribbean chickens. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. These Caribbean chickens, go ahead. I want you to explain it. You're the one that found the article.

I also want you to explain it. Because I still don't think you... All I know, well, I'm going to give you the drunk history version of it from just what I can remember a couple days ago. but I didn't read all I got was the headline a little bit of the story I thought this is wild I sent it to y'all and then I started watching sports bloopers again but it was essentially there was these Caribbean chickens over on some island and they used they were for a while and then they weren't and then they somehow I don't know how the fuck this happened but they apparated back into existence and took back over their island and then also lost the ability again to fly which is why I was calling them chickens. It's something like that. So, let me get this straight. You said they were for a while and then they weren't and then they were again.

I, a, yes. They, according to this article, they existed, they were native to this island, these birds, were completely eradicated utterly. Something like that. As far as, as anyone is aware. They disappeared from the fossil record. And then reappeared. Reappeared.

seemingly out of nowhere. Like 200,000 years later. That's fucking nuts. So the story goes... 200,000 years later? Maybe longer than that. I'm bad with numbers. Oh, I didn't even...

I like... That's fucking crazy. What happened was these birds that are native to Madagascar. What if that happens with like Velociraptors or T-Rex is like tomorrow? That'd be wild.

It can't. It can't. Maybe a bunch of gold feather-paint motherfucker tomorrow. But also, I think all their ancestors are dead. Here's what happened with these birds. their ancestor left Madagascar because of poor conditions, like they were out of food or whatever.

And they flew in four different directions. Somehow they know this from the fossil record. Where they all landed, some went to India, some went to Africa, some went somewhere else, and some went to this island. Corey's talking about. They died pretty quickly, except on this island, Corey's talking about. There they survived, but they evolved into fat, lazy pieces of shit because it was so easy for them. The island life has it hit there. Yeah. Just started listening to Jimmy Buffett and fucking drinking around all day.

Something wiped them out. Probably some kind of natural disaster on the island of some sort, maybe a fire, whatever. A long-ass-time ago. Yes. Okay. Their same ancestor did it again. Left Madagascar. And they evolved basically back into the same fucking chicken.

That's fucking sweet. That's wild. Wild as hell. Ain't no God. Suck on that God. I mean, or you can make the exact same. opposite argument. Yeah,

look, the guy can be like, yeah, suck on this chicken, bitch. Yeah, but like, so that would

just be God just fucking around. Just kill them all for a while. Oh, we're not doing that. Here, you can have another shot at it

and just throw them back out there. Kind of like what we do in a zoo. No. I love thinking about some Rick Sanchez type scientists. He brings his alien friends by and they look at us. He's like,

look what they're doing, idiots. Would you say, Corey? I said I love thinking about some Rick Sanchez type scientists like you just worked.

seeing them birds and realizing what had happened and their first reaction was ha ha fuck you god that cracks me up who's rick sanchise rick from rick and morty his last name is sanchise i know i've thought about it for a while too it's because he's the white him and his daughter are both white as shit but he's rick sanchise isn't there another uh the dad in no never Cory, what's to deal with Miles Morales into the Spider-Verse? His mom...

His mom is, like, Puerto Rican. His last name's Morales, though, but his dad's black. Okay, but Spanish people are white. There's plenty of people with Hispanic last names that are white, but Sanchez specifically sounds Mexican to me. I'm saying...

Well, does he have his mom's name? It's not his stepdad, right? Actually, you know what? His dad's last name, and his dad is black. Yeah. Maybe he's Dominican black. Like Sammy Sosa. I mean, I mean, yeah, maybe, but I don't know.

Also, his name is, in the comic, right, Corey? In the comics, his name is Jefferson Davis. What? Yeah. Who, his dad? The black cop, yes. Well, I was about, on that note, I was, he probably just took his mom's last name. But on that note, I was just wondering if Corey knew the answer.

You're telling me that in this world where this man shoots spiderwebs out of his wrist, his name ain't right? Okay. I mean, we can do all this again if you want to. We've done this on the podcast before. We've done it, and it was my fault, and I went back on my bullshit because Trey made a good point and I was stupid. I hate that argument. I know you do, but hold on.

Before we have to rehash it, all I'm saying is, is like there's plenty of explanations for that. I wasn't saying, I wasn't pointing out a plot hole. or like how fucking stupid is that? I'm sure it is explained and I just don't know it. I was wondering if Corey knew the explanation. That's all. No, I don't.

I'm not saying, it don't make no fucking sense. I was curious if he knew the answer to it. But he doesn't. No, I don't. I'm definitely, number one, I'm going to find out after this podcast

and also I'm going to rewatch Spiderverse because that movie rocks dick. It's been too busy learning about Caribbean chickens. I have to say, yeah, but he'd spend a lot of, A lot of time on it, as you could tell.

The other reason we didn't get that reference, there's so many Caribbean chickens. Well, Caribbean chicken is already another thing. Right. They just run around. But not one that we was talking about two days ago. I feel like you're always two days removed from having talked about Caribbean chicken. You know? That's also fair. I agree.

I would. Yeah. No doubt, man. So listen, back to that, though. I feel like you're getting defensive. You need to understand that it's the opposite of what you think here, Corey. I think the problem is you're usually so good at the jokes and the references that we're just like, what? But you're hearing it, hearing us saying, fuck your joke, it didn't make sense.

No, no, no. I'm not trying to be defensive at all. I'm actually trying to submit that that is a flaw of mine and not be defensive. Like, I'm just saying, yes, you are correct. Like, I'm not defending it at all. I'm a fucking idiot, especially as it pertains to evolution and apparently. Caribbean chicken. But I, okay.

My boy's an idiot. He's got a real blind spot when it comes to Caribbean chicken. Those other, the other ancestor birds. That's Earl eyes. Trey has Duane eyes. It's Earl eyes as when you can't see chicken. Well, that can't see this chicken.

But I can taste it. That'd be truly tragic. That's why it tastes so much better. So the ancestor of that bird. Yes. remained the same for 400,000 years and then went off

and did the exact same shit again and like kind of the same and you know here's actually was my theory on this I mean I know that happened I mean they said like crocodiles and shit sharks have been mostly the same

so mostly the same and then the new version was mostly the same how could they know mostly it's that their fossils are similar and my theory on this was like

whatever scientists theorized this because the other thing is is like other explanations are possible. They're wild as hell. You know what I mean? Like what? Well, they're on this island.

This bird disappears from the fossil records for some significant amount of time and then comes back. But they've been theorizing that this bird came from this other bird, this other ancestor, and it flew there, and then they said, oh, it just happened again.

Maybe. But you don't even know that's how it got there in the first place. I mean, because we're talking about so long ago. there's possibilities of land bridges. I mean, people from Madagascar, and I don't know if this predates people, I don't remember the exact numbers. But, I mean, that particular area is wild anyway because, and I'm going to speak way above my pay grade here.

But I just happen to the little bit I know about human migration, the from Africa towards India, hitting Madagascar and all those other islands and then ended up in Australia Trek. That's just wild. Folks went way further than they should have. have on canoes and shit. Buddy, I, the, the whole Micronesia, all the Pacific islands, the South Pacific and all that, blows my fucking mind

for that same reason. They're so fucking far away from each other. The only explanation anybody has is that thousands of years ago, they rode there on canoes, but rode like literally thousands of miles in a goddamn canoe. That's fucking insane.

Well, anyway, all I was saying is... And they hit land. Right. How many of them didn't? You'd think a fuck ton. Well, just out there dying their boats. Wow, man. So all I'm saying... So basically, what you're these... We need to go to Mars. Their ancestors... Anyway. Their ancestors came over and started fucking these lousy chickens and made hittin chickens. Sure. That's exactly what my theory is. Well, you know what, you know what

these, uh, hitting chickens must have had? I guarantee you they had some blue chew, boy. Let's talk about it. Birds fucking. Okay. And Blue Chew. Go ahead. Let's talk about sex. You guys remember the days when you were just always ready to go?

Well, now you can increase your performance and get that extra confidence in bed. Listen up. Bluechew.com. That's blue like the color blue. Blue Chew brings you the first chewable with the same FDA-approved active ingredients as Viagra and C. Alice. So you know. they work. You can take them anytime, day or night, even on a full stomach, and since they're chewable, they work up to twice as fast as a pill. So you can be ready whenever an opportunity

arises, pun intended. Yeah, like a dick. Like a dick. Like a dick. Like a dick.

That's what we call a bar mitz for where we're from. Have you for real seen a chicken's dick? They just got them pussy dick butts, right? Pussy dick butts. Yeah, they do. I mean, don't say, old pussy dick butt. Pussy dick butt. Don't all birds have them pussy dick butt.

I heard of veterinarian one time. Oh, yeah, all birds. They got them pussy dick. All birds is a shoe company, and that should be their slogan. All birds, we got them pussy dick butts. Pussy dick butts for your feet. So what you're saying is they just got a hole and they just rub their holes together. They just fucking chicken scissors all day.

Chicken scissors. Chicken scissors. from the makers of corn dog tie. Come get your dick up, boy. Scoot pussy dick butt. We got them. Pussy dick butt. What does make a male or female?

A pussy dick butt. Shave. You know, real careful. I promise you that. Why are you trying to shave a bird's pussy dick butt? Duh. Right. I mean, if you're a bird, you're trying to evolve, Trey.

You got damn, you're out here with these. ribby and chickens how you going to compete i believe they pluck okay well how do you pluck a pussy dick butt real careful i don't know i ain't a pussy bit dick butt doctor you you are the pussy dip butt officianto no no i don't want to be that well this is destiny man what i love to hear a chicken be like god damn you need to trim your pussy dick butt this is getting a little out of hand. We're never going to evolve back into our former selves. Both male and female birds have what's known as a cloaca.

Pussy dick butt. Pussy dick butt. That's Greek for pussy dick butt. What's it called? Cloaca. The cloaca is an internal chamber that ends in an opening and through this opening, a bird's sex organs. Okay, here we go.

Testes or ovaries. I was going to say, like, what's the, how do they differentiate, how are they not just unisexual or whatever? But that's it. They still got balls and lady balls. But they just don't have the outside part. Okay. Keep going, though. That still doesn't explain to me how they copulate.

Ends in an opening through this opening of bird's sex organs, testes or ovaries, discharge sperm or eggs. Discharge eggs? Well, I mean, yeah, they're burnt. They lay eggs. So here's what I think happens. Okay. Old boy bird walks up. Gets his coacula out.

Situates his pussy dick. over his old lady's pussy dick butt. Over it. Yeah. Like a... They start chicken scissor. Right. Like a funnel.

And he sprays his bird jes. Okay. Into her pussy dick butt. Okay. Fertilizes her eggs and then she later shoots those fertilized eggs out of her pussy dick butt into a nest. Did you know? And then they be... And I think you guys told me this actually on the podcast.

So of course you know. They'd be putting them eggs out no matter what. right? Yes. Yeah. And if they're not fertilized, they don't ever hatch or whatever. And what we eat is unfertilized chicken eggs, yeah. So it's like chicken periods, really.

Santa. Chicken periods. Their chicken periods is what they are. I know. I'm trying. Today's podcast is brought to you by chicken periods. Yeah. And pussy dick butts.

Yeah. Pussy dick butts. The makers of chicken periods. Brought to you by Coacula. Oh, my God. Coacula is a pretty good one. It's not as good as pussy dick butt, but that ain't bad. We've really done it today.

We have. Y'all, I wasn't ready for pussy dick butts. So we get the pussy and the dick part, right, obviously. The same... Yeah, where's the butt? The same opening also serves a less sexy purpose. The expulsion of urinary and digestive waste. So, I mean, it's literally a pussy dick butt.

And a urine, though. But that's the put your pussy and dick is your... You're in how, this is wild. Anyway. So chickens don't have taints. I'm so glad. There ain't no taint your butt and taint your balls. It's all your butt and your balls.

Tis. Tis. Tis. Tis. Tis your butt. Tis your balls. Oh, man. I'm going to go down McDonald's.

Get me some of the Mick Tizzes. Look at my tis. Chikins don't have a tank. They got a tiz. Is that what got me in a tizzy means? You're all upset because you're in. inside a chicken pussy dick butt? Oh, Lord.

I don't know where to go from here. Well, Drew, you had something you wanted to talk about. Well, something came up today. I mean, I have one thing. I don't know where to go to here unless you guys have an idea. No, I just mean it's not going to follow up pussy dick butt. Nothing's going to follow that. Nothing will.

So we were talking about the island people earlier. Yeah. Island nations. y'all know anything about a pit cairn island pick cairn pit cairn but it's all one word p i t c a r in pick cairn that sounds like no somebody like a woman who manned the barbecue y'all know about the mutiny on the bounty yes very famous story been a book and a movie and all that shit's a huge thing yes well where that happened where they got shipwrecked at though they're they're still there

who the people the the mutineers that were on that boat and their like uh native guides like basically like sherpa types that they had with them on the boat they all were shipwrecked on this island they just was fucking having kids and shit and then now whatever like three four generations later it's called pit caran island and it's a community and those people still live there the descendants of those people who just wrecked their boat on this island are they all citizens of anything other than that island? The United Kingdom. It's like Puerto Rico or Guam, but for the UK. It's a territorial, a principality or whatever fuck you call it. Man, the UK is like, listen, if it's inbred, that's ours, all right?

Well, they, and they were, yeah. And it's wild because they're like, it was mostly the mutineers who were British, they're white Europeans. Yeah. So like, oh shit. Yeah, if there's some bullshit going on, the white man is usually responsible for it.

But like these people, that at this point like grown up lived their whole lives there or whatever most they're it's just wild because they look

like fucking Brits or whatever Does they talk like Brits? I think it's like a version of You know what I mean It's like South African Yeah that type of thing

Like it's sort of their own deal But it's like kind of sort of that Where do they do they have houses and shit? Yeah I mean it's like a But I mean It's extremely remote It's the middle of fucking nowhere. Nothing is nearby at all.

And all together, there's like, I think it's like 300 of them or something. So they got like huts. No, they got, right. Are they developed in anyway? Do they have a backhoe? Yeah. It's a fucking, I mean, it's like, it's buildings and shit. How's it buildings with 300 people, dude?

Britain's putting some money in that. Fucking Sunbrides, 300 people. Yeah, but we're like, you know, you just... We ain't got buildings? You just drive to Oak Ridge. We ain't all fancy like salimates. is having buildings and shit. Yeah, but...

We live in shacks. Yes, but... People that we pay money... Just rubbing our pussy dick butts together. People that we pay money to come in and build those buildings. You feel me? Infrastructure is what's required for those things. Trey.

Yeah, but I mean, I don't get what... Like, any of these, like... I've been on a kick lately, though, with remote communities. Because for the same reason what you're getting at, I'm fascinated by how anything exists. there and not just here but also in like extreme northern Canada like on the arctic circle and stuff but i'm saying money right was the trade must be funding this shit and my thing with that is why didn't they just rescue these motherfuckers well they were

mutineers initially so like they couldn't be rescued right because they were you know sure also like back that i don't think there was a mutiny a foot i don't think they had any way of even going about that what the fuck was that did you hear that gory Oh, God. Hey, that sound was us just getting cut off for just a second, but here we are right back. Right now on the well-read podcast. Go buy our album.

We love you. Skew. You were saying they got to have some money or whatever to build shit on there and whatnot. Yeah, in 300 years. My point is, you were saying, Sunbright's very remote. And I'm like, yes, but you can ship stuff in. Well, but here's the thing. Is it crazy and I says it's actually, all right, so.

Pitcairn is the least populous national jurisdiction in the world. The Pitcairn Islanders are a biracial ethnic group descended from the nine bounty mutineers. There's only nine of them. In my head, it was like 30 or something. I do not look forward to the answer to this question. How many women? It doesn't separate it that way. The nine bounty mutineers and the handful of Tahitians who had been accompanying them.

So like I said, they're guides or whatever. And today... They called it pit-karen because rape Karen was already taken. Today, there are approximately 50 permanent inhabitants, 50 people, with comprising four main families. It's got to be... This shit is wild to me. It's like micro-colonialism.

Right. It's insane. 50 people, four families only, that's the entire, that make up the entire history of this community from the start of its existence and like, why is it useful to the Brits? Why are they putting any money into it? They just was collecting stuff, man, they didn't give a fuck. No, no, no, I mean now, I'm saying, after these people, me, we had to make them give away everything that, you know, they'd still have India.

I get that. Yes, yes, but the only reason they put the money into India was to keep it, and they didn't put a lot of money into India. My question is, in 300 years, a completely remote island is not going to be having bunches of buildings on it and shit unless it's close to

or has a close relationship with somebody with some money. Your response to that was, it's the Brits, they're helping them develop it. And I'm saying why. It's not out of the goodness of their cold bean-filled heart. Where are they at?

Where's Pitcairn at? Who's filled with beans? The Brits. They eat beans for breakfast. Oh, yeah. It's some bean in some of dishes. Bains and tight. They try to act like they're better than everybody when they eat beans.

There ain't nothing wrong with eating beans, but don't be high and mighty about it. Heard that. Okay. I'm trying to skim over this so I can answer some of these fucking questions. But basically, in 1790, nine of the mutineers from the bounty, along with the native Tahitian men and women who were with them, six men, 11 women, and a baby girl. So what is that? 17, 26, 27 people total. Settled on Pitcairn Island.

Alcoholism, murder, disease, and other ills took the lives of most of the mutineers and Tahitian men. Two of the mutineers, John Adams, kept the women alive. John Adams and Ned Young turned to the scriptures, using the ship's Bible as their guide for a new and peaceful society. Young then died of an infection. Stupid bitch. What a fucking, what a, what a story. A tell us old as time. All right.

After we rape and kill the women and men respectively, then we will turn to the Bible to create a peaceful society and die of an infection. I mean, I can't even believe I'm about to say this, but like, you know, you don't know that that's what happened, Drew. You just read it, son. I never said rape. That's because rape didn't exist yet. alcohol that's true it was not raped by then

anyway alcoholism murder and diseases and yeah it says the men anyway whatever yeah whatever they killed the men

and kept the women alive come on who's they there was only one dude left that dude you said there were 11 Tahitians

and maybe I misunderstood you I thought you said they killed the lives of most mutineers and Tahitian men so like who are these men

I mean, perhaps misunderstood you. I thought that just all the Tahitian men died. Uh-uh. Anyway, and like 10, 11 years later, they were discovered from afar by a British ship, you know, just out there doing whatever. Probably just looking for islands to take, you know. Right. That'll work. Oh, shit.

We already got this one. Yeah, put a flag in, you know, like the Eddie Izard thing. By the time they were discovered, there was only one mutineer, John Adams, who was still alive. and he was granted amnesty for his part in the mutiny. And they were, I mean, yeah, Britain was just like, all right, y'all us now. Pretty much. He was granted amnesty. Amnesty was an island girl.

They gave her to him. The islands officially became a British colony in November of 1838. At the same time, becoming one of the first territories to extend voting rights to women. Because it was all women. It was all left, yeah. All right. So that's pretty much, I mean, that's it. But they're still there.

It's fucking, I don't know. But there's, yeah, like I said, I've just, I've been on a kick lately looking up these, like, extremely remote communities. I've just been, like, fascinated by it for whatever reason. But the ones that are craziest to me are the ones way, way up north. Like on, like, the Arctic Circle, I guess. I have no idea how to even begin to try to pronounce this. Eat a quarter meat. Eat a quarter meat.

Oh, yeah, you got it. Eat a quarter meat. That's their only law. That they always said. On the eastern shore of Greenland, you can only get there by helicopter. How'd they get there? 450 residents. I don't know, but the ones in like...

Big ass bird. The ones in very northern Canada, they got there by being shipped there by the white people who came to Canada. Like, them is particularly fucked up. The origin story of those. But, like, they're still, they're still, those communities or whatever are still just, they're just up there. Thriving. People are just, I wouldn't say they're thriving. But, like, I don't know.

It's just wild to me. I was saying to you off my, I think my fascination for that type of thing stems from being from a place that, you know, you like escape from. basically. Yeah. Or like that's like that's a thing, you know. But but like Salina and Sunbride. So you wonder why they do it? No, Salina and Sunbride are nowhere near on the level of these places in terms of, of isolation,

remoteness, lack of opportunity, whatever. We had more of a capacity both in terms of imagination and literally to get out. Yeah. And not because we have better imagination. The world we lived in made it easier for us to imagine is what I mean. mean. Yeah, I know. But I'm saying that's part of why it's crazy to me is because I know that that's true,

but at the same time, it felt very impossible. Yeah. Like where I'm from, and I know that where I'm from, it's nowhere near, like I said, the level of that exact same thing. Because like them people. Places like this. Alaska, and that's not even as far north. I mean, they got 27 words for snow, not one for vacation.

Like, it's just different. Yeah. We got 27 types of pills, but we got vacations. It's also like what we were talking about just now about, you were like, well, you know, Sunbright has buildings. I don't know about like in my grandparents' day and age, but like for me growing up, going to Knoxville was a big deal, but it is something we did. Probably three times a year when I was little.

And you could stay. That, like, literally going to the place. actually physically doing it, you know, puts that in your mind that you can keep doing it. Right. Sure. Yeah. Because I feel like if when you was 13 and you lived in eat a quarter of meat and somebody took you to Helsinki, you just ain't getting in the car back home. You're like, fuck that.

They got a whole bar for coffee here. We get coffee twice a year. Don't you think it's more likely? And if you drank too more than you're supposed to, dad breaks your nose. Like, I'm staying in Helsinki. Don't you think it's more likely, honestly, that you get off the boat or whatever for the first time in Helsinki and freak the fuck out and go straight back to eat a quarter meat? Honestly, I think it's just like Rom. Honestly, I think it's probably a lot like Rom Springer.

It depends on how much time you spend there. Yes, and what Corey said, the person. Yeah, because, I mean, that's like, you know, I knew a bunch of, I know a bunch of people from here. that if they had the means to get to New York, they still wouldn't last because they would just freak the fuck out. But then there's also the people here, like you were saying that when I went to New York, people were like,

well, I thought you had to be asked to go to New York. I didn't know that was just a place you could fucking go. What are you talking about? That reminds me of something in comedy that's, it's a very different, but I think it's the same part of the brain. We're like, you know, people would be asking when you're going to move to New York for comedy.

Or when I was in New York, people were like, you know, when you're going to move to move to the brain? to L.A. And even I would say when they asked me to. Ain't nobody gonna ask you to, what the fuck are you talking about?

I still say that. But ain't nobody gonna ask you. Like, in your situation, Corey, you might sell something, but that's you asking them. You know what I mean? That's literally you knocking on the door

saying, let me in. You know what I mean? Yeah, no, no. I mean, yeah, it's not, I didn't, I guess some people, you know, back in the day, I did think, oh, it's like actually someone saying, hey, you should move to L.A.

It's just, I think it's, to me, I think it's when the universe tells me. Oh, I think it's, yeah, I was going to say, like, now, I mean, I was already actively trying to move to L.A. anyway, but I still think that when people say that type of thing, what they basically mean is pretty much what happened to me, which is like, yeah. I would agree if they were doing the things you were doing at that time to make it to where someone might, where that opportunity might arise. because I'm talking about people who aren't making videos, aren't writing packets. Sure, yeah. But they're comedians, right? Yeah, they're going out and doing stand-up, yeah.

But that's what I'm saying. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, No, I know what you mean. Like I'm here. This fucking open mic and Lafette. No, but are they not?

I'm assuming these people are new-ish, and that's just how you start out or whatever. I mean, I don't know. Well, no, I'm very lucky that I can have a career from Georgia because we have a successful tour in a podcast that I can do remote. But yeah, if I didn't have any of this shit going on just sitting here in Georgia, there's no reason to believe anything would happen. So, yeah, I agree with you. To be clear, I'm not trying to shit on anyone.

I'm just saying that I think there's a part of the brain that, like, thinks, when in terms of literally changing your entire world, like picking up and moving, even if it's just from one city to the next. But especially if it's from, what is it called, Jehosa fat? Eat a quarter of meat. If you're trying to move from eat a quarter meat to wherever else, like it's a different part of the brain that like turns on and says, I'm just going to do it.

Yeah. Because a lot of people daydream about things that then they don't do, take any steps to make happen. And that's natural. And my point is I'm not trying to shit on anyone who's caught up in that. I'm saying everybody does that. It's very different to take the initiative. to just start that process on your own.

And when you grow up in eat a quarter meat, it's probably wild to just think about moving one village over because that village is a two-hour walk. And during those two hours, it's going to be 58 below fucking zero. I think it's way more than two hours even. Like, I think it's like even more crazy remote than you're even giving it credit for it.

And I was in, but I was saying, if you're going over there to eat a pound of corn. Yeah. That's five hours away. I already a pound of corn money. Well, you know. But like if you,

grow up broke and eat a quarter meat. And the only way to get in and out of... The only way to get in and out of the place is on a fucking helicopter. I mean, what the fuck are you ever going to do? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, I get that part. I'm not like, I'm not looking at these, like,

why ain't all these motherfuckers just leaving all the time? I understand why I'm just fascinated by the whole existence. Well, let me back up a little bit. I didn't mean to suggest you were saying that. I think it started coming across, like I was saying, it's just like people who won't move to L.A., and it's not at all like that. And if I said that, I'm a fucking idiot.

What I was trying to express, though, is, like, there's two parts of the brain, I think, where it's like there's a part of the brain that imagine something different, but then there's a part of the brain that, like, sees yourself being able to make it happen, I guess. And that part, as you just pointed out, they have no fucking...

How? Right. How you're going to make it happen? happen from there. Yeah. Well, I mean, I want to, I don't know exactly where we're at because we had that technical issue in the middle, but we have to be, even with that. We're about 45 minutes.

That's what I figured. So we got like 15-ish left. And, uh, I mean, I'd like to talk about Game of Thrones again. Unless, unless, if you're on here right now. Is this a thing that's like not hitting for people that we're doing it, Corey? Because if it is, I'll stop. No. Well, we're, I haven't, no.

First off, Game of Thrones is colossal. I haven't seen, I've seen maybe two complaints, but also on the first podcast that we talked about Game of Thrones on, we literally came out the gate firing, so I understand that. We've done, been on here talking about pussy dick buds, ate a corner, mate. Pussy dick butts. We've given you 45 minutes of not Game of Thrones. So right now, if you're not caught up on Game of Thrones, we love you and ski you and come see us on the road and go to well-redcomedy.com and all that shit will be in Jacksonville,

on Orlando this weekend. But if you did watch Game of Thrones, yeah, I'd like to get into it and go ahead, Trey. You can start off. Well, it didn't hit for me. No. Yeah, it continued the trend of generally not hitting for me.

I am most upset, I think, at what happened ultimately with Jamie. I've thought about a lot. And I think that, uh, hold on one second. I'm texting y'all, but I get why, but it's just funny because I'm stopping speaking to you so I can send you a text message. But, uh, I'm not going to be able to read it. It's not even in, um, it's not, I think there's two ways.

What about what's the fuck am I trying to say? It's not even necessarily just that like he ended up hugging it out with Circe and they died. together or whatever. It's not that that's completely unacceptable to me. It's the whole thing. Basically what I'm saying is there's like two ways I've thought of or thought about that I think would have just hit harder for me. And it's two different outcomes as far as Searcy's concerned. The first one is, and I texted y'all this, like a version where he goes there, he goes there to be with her like he said he was. He goes there to be with her. When he gets there, though, she's on some insane shit

and the thing I said is you know it's been established that there's these caches of wildfire stored all under the city you could take the whole city down if you wanted to that's what the Mag King was going to do

that's why Jamie killed him so he gets there Danny's armies are in the city she's not roasting everything yet that hasn't happened yet they've just gotten into the city she hasn't killed anybody yet Circe wants to

blow up the wildfire kill everybody in King's Landing but she wants to do it so it takes out Danny's entire forces, John Snow and everybody else, whatever. That's what Danny wants to do. Jamie cannot allow her to do it. He can't stop her from attempting to do it, and it gets to the point where he has to kill her,

to stop her in the same way he did for the Mag King, and then also to rope Danny into it. Danny, meanwhile, has said, fuck the shit, and goes to kill Circe and the Red Keep, not knowing any of this is happening with Searcy and Jamie, Dragon fires Searcy and inadvertently sets off a chain reaction of the wildfire and blows up the whole city anyway, just like she did in the actual episode, but not as Hitlery, because she didn't mean, she was reckless, but she didn't mean to do it. So it's still super fucked up, but not as, like I said, Hitlery. Or, or Jamie, as far as Jamie goes, he left to go, not to go be with Searcy because he still loved her and they belong to.

whatever but he went there because he's like I'm the only one who can stop her that's what he's that's his whole deal right I'm going there because I'm the only one who can maybe stop this I'm the only person on her she might listen to and you know what and I'll kill her if I have to but I'm the only person that can stop her that's what's happening but when he gets there it plays plays out basically the same way it did he gets there he's been stabbed he sees her the walls are the whole place is crumbling down. He knows they're not going to make it out alive anyway. So instead, he just comforts her at the end or whatever,

kind of like he did. But with his motivations being different at the beginning, would have made it more palatable for me personally. But the first one I would have liked better. How do we not know that wasn't what he was planning on doing? It was too late when he got there. I know. But I just really don't think it is.

I mean, if you watch the behind-the-scenes stuff Because if it was, they'd have fucking told us. I killed D.B. Weiss and David Binney off off a long time ago in my own little personal Game of Thrones. They're dead to me. Well, they basically said, not basically, they did say that he's not being duplicitous or whatever when he says he just has to be, like, he means that. Like, they meant that to be taken at face value, all that shit. He said about, like, you know, I have to be with her and, like. I'm not trying to get you, of course. You just describe what you wish would have happened,

and I get that. What didn't you like about what did happen? What was the problem with it? I'm saying I don't like that in the end Jamie just fucking just straight up just went back to Circe

and also that Searcy you know Searcy got like the best ending she possibly could have gotten that was probably who she is. She was terrified and crying. I know but still like... I like this. No no I agree with you.

Huh? I kind of liked this episode. There are parts of it I didn't like. The parts you just mentioned aren't two parts of it. Here's what I liked about the two things you just mentioned. As far as Searcy, getting the ending that she was going to get, but not getting it the way she deserved, not getting her fucking throat slit or any of that. It's pretty games of Thronesy.

And because she is so good at the game. She lost ultimately. But the part I didn't like was her being in denial right up until the end because she ain't ever been anything but practical. That part didn't show. check out for me in terms of her character, but in terms of her dying. Everybody got a plan that I get punched in the mouth, motherfucker. Right, that's true. But in terms of her dying with this man that she has manipulated literally her

whole life, I mean, that checks out to me, and then that gets into my feelings on the Jamie story. I mean, dude, he's been under her thumb forever, and he is a shitty dude. And there were a few seasons where they allowed us to forget that, and he had some glimpses. And when did he have those glimpses? When he wasn't away from her? He was, because, he was, becoming a better person, getting away from that poisonous woman. And I think the reason he went back is because he finally realized, like, she's definitely going to die. And I just want to see her one more time.

And, you know, I mean, how many good men we've seen go out like that? Yes, but I just feel like I felt like that his whole arc had to do with him getting away from her. Like the whole thing, the whole thing were like, I mean, he was with her. They were together. And he, you know, he was like, I made a promise. You know, fighting for the living, that whole thing. He's like, I made a promise and I'm going to keep it. And I think he was always planning on coming back to her until he got away from her.

And she sent someone to kill him after he had left her and all this. And all the BreaN stuff, too. Like, why did they even do that? Well, that, I think, was in terms of this character's arc, especially if you plan on sending him back to Circe. And I can't believe I'm saying this. I think that was a mistake. Or maybe, dude, you know, you've had buddies. If you could just get him away from her, he's an all right guy.

Yeah. Yeah, it's not an unrealistic thing. And they always go back to her. I'm, okay, you're right about that, but I'm just saying the way I've recently rewatched the whole series. I know Corey's done that like five times. Did you do that? Yes. Four.

For that. Have you rewatch the series? No. one of the craziest things for me very early on is like being struck by man i really forgot just how big of a fucking douchebag jamie is like when this show starts well so it's one of my favorite things about the series and this is true for the books too is the arc of jamie's character from that guy and it's a redemptive arc like the whole way and i just feel like this unravels it all i'm not saying it's unrealistic it just don't hit for me. Well, I guess... I just would have prepared it go a different way. Yeah, oh, I get it.

Generally on this whole episode is other than Tyrion, I liked everyone's arc. I just think they executed all of them except for the Klingon Bowl terribly. Okay, that, right. I love Danny's Ark. See, that was my favorite part. I just hated how it happened.

Klingon Bowl was my favorite part, too. Like, I like Danny's art. He is saying Klingon Bowl, yeah. I mean, the Hound kind of looks like a Klingon. sort of with his face card. No, no, no. He looks like Worf. Yeah. Yeah.

Everything you said, Trey, and we talked about this, I agree with, except for I thought it would have been fitting if Aria had also died in that situation. Like, Aria is going up and she's going to kill Circe. And the reason I didn't want that to happen is because she already had her moment with the Night King and don't, you know, she ain't have two fucking, she ain't have two shutouts in a row. So I thought she was going to go up there to kill Searcy. The mountain and the hound were going to fuck.

off and have their thing and it was going to play out like it did and hit and then as fucking aria is going to kill surce she just gets they all get lit on fire like danny had so like yeah very similar to what you said and i think that would have been yeah i'd hate to see aria go but honestly i would have probably liked it more than her just surviving this fucking collapsing city and stones hitting her on the goddamn 12 year old head every two fucking seconds yeah like you know i fucking a horse and then walking off. I hated the horse. What I liked about the other part, though, I mean, the way they did it was a bit much, like she just kept escaping death barely. But watching her see war that up close when she's wanted so badly to be a killer, but she's used to killing people she's

deemed evil one-on-one, you know, there's a fight, and then that's the end of it. I think... And she's seeing ISIS. Right, and I think that's going to... I think it has changed her, and I'm very curious about her reaction to it next week. And so I'll enjoy it. that too. But that's... Now I don't know what the fuck even can happen.

Like, I've had at least predictions on every episode. Well, I think Danny's about to try to kill everyone. She's gonna have to. Yeah.

I think she's gonna go somehow or another. She's gonna go for Sansa. Of course. And that's gonna... And I don't know if that means just getting on the dragon and fucking taking off

for Winterfell or what, but that's gonna be the thing that leads to her or John killing the other one. I don't know which one's going to come out alive or whatever. But I... Some version of...

of that's what's going to happen, I think. And as far as the dragon goes, the only way I can see that going, either Danny wins or Drogon switches teams, you know, because John's a Targaryen too. I actually say, what if Drogon can't burn him? Literally, like he won't be able to or he won't do it. The first, if they do the second one, or whichever one, if he cannot be burned, you'd think it would be consistent because he's Targaryen, but the thing, remember in the very first season when he fights that, he saves, The Lord Commander's life from that white, that zombie, he gets burned very badly in the process. A torch, a lantern thing. He throws it at the zombie, and he burns himself really badly. He does it.

Now, that don't mean they might not just sort of rec on that and be like, yeah, well, we forgot he was a Targaryen when we did that or whatever. But I don't think this will have him. Well, it doesn't actually ever show him getting burned. He just makes a sound when he grabs it. Yeah, there's no indication it don't hurt. From her there is. She's tough. Yeah.

Well, I'm... Anyway, I'm saying I could see how you could get around that because you don't actually show him having burns or anything, but I still hear you. I just, I think it's more likely that he won't... The Drogon won't roast him. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

Do we all feel... Do we all feel the same then about her? Ark? How ever you feel about the execution? Yeah. Yes. I think everything about her makes sense. I was going to circle...

For the most part, it does me too. I was going to circle back to that because, yeah, I agree with you. First of all, the whole, the mag queen has been like a fan theory and it's been speculated upon for a very long time. They've been hinting at it forever. She's destroyed everyone who won't bend the knee. So basically, they've said the whole time that George R. Martin gave them, you know, the bullet points of the major things that were going to happen at the end of the book series. when they signed on because he hadn't written those books yet and the fucker still hasn't written them.

But, uh, so everybody's assuming and I think right. Did you see that onion thing yesterday? No. Or said George R. Martin releases 900 page apology for not having finished the last book. Uh, anyway, everybody's assuming now and I, and I agreed,

I think it's an accurate assumption that the mad queen came from him, meaning that's what's going to happen to her in the books too. And I'm totally on board it. I've always been on board with it going. that way with her going full mad queen with it but yeah I don't think the execution was done well

personally I don't think they she the fucking dude the switch she flipped it was just too much too fast man for like again she went full board genocide like and I don't think that was earned

the way that they went about it you could have gotten her there but I don't think they did in 10 episodes not six for sure. The only thing, like every single, if you go back and watch the series again, which again, I have a bunch, every single she's been wanting to go Mad Queen and as you know this since the fucking jump. That's, she's been wanting to do that.

And every single person, every single confidant, every single hand that she's ever had that has kept her from flip, that has convinced her, hey, no, don't do that shit. They're all dead now. So it does make sense to me, you know, Jorin's fucking gone. She, you know, Varus is gone. All these people are gone. I get all that, but I agree with you. It literally went from,

okay, we're going to go there and I'm going to take Circe out to, oh, I can't have my fucking nephew's dick, so now I'm going to fucking slice open everybody's goddamn throat with dragon breath. Right. So, but, okay, correct me if I'm wrong, because you've rewashed it more than I have. But, like, what you just said, Corey, they have hinted at it.

She's done some wild shit. But if I'm not mistaken, it's always been against, you know, the slavers or the what, like... Yeah, you're right. It's never been, let's kill a bunch of innocent. Dr. Rackie...

And thus, an episode of the well-read podcast ends not like you wanted it to. Not having a good conclusion. Not wrapping everything up. Just like Game of Thrones. Isn't that how it always is? The one that you thought was going to save the innocent

ends up murdering them all. Well, we appreciate you listening. And tune in next week when we'll be talking about a different bird and their butt. Thank you all for listening to the well-read show. We'd love to stick around longer, but we got to go. Tune in next week if you got nothing to do.
