1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the cool people who did cool stuff.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Margaret Kiljoy, and each week I dig

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: into history and find all the radius stories of the

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Rattus people who did ship like overthrow governments and smash

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: patriarchy and each children ums most week, this week's is Halloween. Well,

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: actually last week is the Halloween. It's kind of confusing

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: because next week is Halloween for us, but last week

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: is Halloween for you. Every day is Halloween. My guest

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: today is the one and only Jamie Loftus. Jamie, how

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: are you? Hi? Oh I'm so tired, but I'm great

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: and I'm ready for Halloween. Do you have Halloween plans? Marcaret? No?

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: I well, I'm I'm going to go be alone in

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: the woods on Halloween. Okay, that's said that that counts

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: as plans. Yeah, yeah, and totally won't be spooked out

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: at all. What are your Halloween plans? What my my Halloween?

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Because halloweens on a Monday this year, which is troubling.

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: So I have like a Halloween part time job that's

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: occupying a lot of my time. But on Saturday, I'm

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: going to see Danny Elfman in concert, which is very

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: excited the Pumpkin King. I guess that he does like

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 1: an annual Halloween show at the Hollywood Bowl. I didn't

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,639
Speaker 1: know about it before this year, but I'm going, baby,

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Yeah, Sophie Halloween plans. Our producer is

24
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: the one and only Sophie Lectreman. Sophie, how are you

25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: where your Halloween? Plans? To dress my dog and as

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: many costumes as possible, and um that I hope that

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 1: kids still. I'm gonna put a giant bowl of candy

28
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: in front of my house because um, I would like

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: them to have the candy, but I don't want to interact.

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: M M. But I hope they don't steal my ball.

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: They prefer it that way too mean. I think we

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: all do. UM. And then I'm gonna go do some

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: spooky ship yea, wait, are you wearing a costume? Um?

34
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't get that far on the planning,

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: was just told where to be in when I like.

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: Outfit choice not confirmed. I have one more question, which

37
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: is what size candy bars are you rocking? I feel

38
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: like there should be a mid size between fun size

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: and full size, but I don't know that that exists,

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I feel like that's what I got. To be honest,

41
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: I feel like they don't. They're definitely not full size.

42
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: They're definitely not full size. That's I got Goldilocks exactly.

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: But and I feel like the pack I got, I

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: was like, this is like a very good like there's variety,

45
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: which I appreciate. Um, but yeah, I hope they don't

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: steal my bowl. That would hurt my feelings. And I

47
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: hope that one kid doesn't ruin it for everyone else

48
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: by taking all the candy. That's my biggest electrified the bowl.

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: What if I like solid choice, I don't know, not

50
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: enough to kill because that's just probably illegal, but enough

51
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: that's more and more important. Like if they still the bowl, okay, fine, like, okay,

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: I get it, it's you needed the bowl. But if

53
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: they if one kid takes all the candy from the bowl,

54
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: that will upset me and Anderson will fully narc Yeah

55
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: that that will happen is the word you meant to

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: say that. I know. I feel like it will, which

57
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: would not be cool. People. No, I wouldn't do it.

58
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I saw it has been. I saw it happen and

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: I did spot. No, it's and then you go up

60
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: there and you're like, oh my god, that's so nice.

61
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: They put a bull, you put your head in the

62
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: bowl no candy, and then you're like, wow, this person sucks.

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: It's like no, some little ship had kids sucks. Anyways,

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: that's been my rant. You should hide in the bushes

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: and then shout it's the tragedy of the commons. Don't

66
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: stop them and don't explain what the tragedy of the

67
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: commons is, um, but maybe actually then follow them down

68
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: the street and uh, do tell this story about the

69
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: Nobel Prize winning scientists who disproved the concept of the

70
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: tragedy of the commons. And just tell the like eight

71
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: year old this, and I promise you they'll never do

72
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: it again. It's Justice through Pedantry, which is the name

73
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: of the podcast that you're listening to, just the Pedantry. Today,

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 1: I'm going to explain the difference between hanged and hung. Uh,

75
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: and then judge everyone who gets No. I'm not going

76
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: to do that, Jamie. I was gonna say, I I

77
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: don't know what today's episode is about. So when you

78
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: said that, I started mentally preparing myself. Well, I'm just

79
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna plow ahead with my script, even though

80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: I've ruined some of the jokes. Jamie, have you ever

81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: heard of Halloween? Oh? Yeah, yeah, this isn't a story

82
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: about Halloween. This isn't ano about Halllen. Okay, but so

83
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: we were just catching up. But it's a special Halloween

84
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: episode nonetheless, because instead of talking about a real person today,

85
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a fake person or in

86
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: my head, a more real than real person, an archetype,

87
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: a god to some. Because it's Folklore Week on cool

88
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: people who did cool stuff and this inaugural mm hmm,

89
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: this this inaugural Folklore Week. There's only one lady who

90
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: fits the bill besides Jamie Loftus. Of course, sometimes this

91
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: person helps people. Sometimes she eats people. She lives in

92
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: the woods and she hangs out with geese. She scoots

93
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: around the forest and an iron mortar, pushing herself along

94
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: with an iron pestle sweeping up her tracks behind her

95
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: with a broom, and her hut sits on chicken legs.

96
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: Because she is the one and only baba fucking yoga.

97
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: Oh I feel it's my lucky day. Wow, this is thrilling.

98
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know her house was on chicken legs. That's

99
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: very very creative. That's very scary. I know it's actually

100
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: it's one of the most unique parts about the Bobby

101
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: yoga mythology is the like the chicken like in many ways.

102
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this later, but like in many ways,

103
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: like she's like a witch, right and then like but

104
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: her houses on chicken legs, and she like sits in

105
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: a mortar like mortar and pestle, you know, the thing

106
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: you grind up. You might know this, but I'm explaining

107
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: to some of those are heavy tips. Yeah, yeah, totally. Well,

108
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: in this way case, it sits in one that's like

109
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: big enough for a person and then like scoots around

110
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: like rides it like a little cart. That's so that

111
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: sounds both first of all awesome but logistically inefficient and

112
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: probably really allowed. Yeah, that's true. You could probably hear

113
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Agat coming. Yeah. Um, well, she she sweeps away

114
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: the tracks with a broom as she goes, like to

115
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: clear so you can hear her, but you don't know

116
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: where she went because you got cleaned up. Very tree

117
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: falls in the woods, except not really at all. Maybe

118
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the opposite here, if Bobby Agata moves through the woods

119
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: and no one survives to hear to tell the tale.

120
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Did it ever happen? Then she probably knocked down that

121
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: tree that she ruins around care. Yeah, yeah, it's a

122
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: fucking forest. I think the best way to introduce a

123
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: figure out of folklore is to to tell you a

124
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: folk tale. And so I haven't done like a direct

125
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: reading on this podcast before, but I'm doing this reading,

126
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: which you can still interrupt, just to put that out there.

127
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: We don't have to. I confuse that when I went

128
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: to your when I went to your live event, you're

129
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: not supposed to interrupt it. Those stood up and started.

130
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: I just think everywhere I go as a podcast, and

131
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: I can interrupt whenever I want. You're the guest at

132
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: every event, Ladies and gentlemen, Jamie loftus I said, after

133
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: Jamie walked through the background in a hot dog costume.

134
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: This is a seven translation of a story called Vassilisa

135
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: the Beauty or Vasilisa the Beautiful or whatever. But this

136
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: relation translate the title is Vasilisa the Beauty. M hmm.

137
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: Once in a certain country lived a merchant. He had

138
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: been married twelve years and had only one child, a daughter, Vasilisa,

139
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: whom everyone called Vasilisa the beauty when her mother died.

140
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone says everyone called her Vassilisa the beauty,

141
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: but obviously some people called her Vasilisa the beautiful and

142
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: some people Vasilisa the fair Vasilisa. I mean, I appreciate

143
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: that that's the only thing that we know about her

144
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: so far. Yeah, I think, let's be clear. She's hot.

145
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: She's falking hot. We are talking about a girl slash woman.

146
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Is there anything else that you would need to know

147
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: about this character? Well? No, see, that's that's the thing.

148
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,479
Speaker 1: It's I need to know coming in that the protagonist

149
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: is conventionally hot, or why would I continue listening to

150
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: the story. Yeah, totally flipped my table in lea. Absolutely yeah,

151
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: and don't worry. This whole story is absolutely there's no

152
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: more problems, no, no, anyway amazing. So she's hot, yeah,

153
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: and she's so oh no, but but she she does

154
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: grow up, Okay. When her mother died, the little girl

155
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: was eight years old. On her deathbed, she called her

156
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: young daughter to her, took out from under the bedclothes

157
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: a doll, gave it to her and said, listen, dear

158
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: little Vasilisa, remember and fulfill my last words. I am

159
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: dying and leave you with a mother's blessing this doll.

160
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Keep it always with you, and show it to no one,

161
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: And whenever misfortune happens to you, give it something to

162
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: eat and ask its advice. Thereupon the mother kissed her

163
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: little daughter and died this merchant. The merchant, after his

164
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: wife's death, mourned as long as was reasonable, which I

165
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: don't know how long is reasonable. Yeah, that the fun

166
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: that sounds like a fun um. There's certain phrases, and

167
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: you know you're reading a translation where you're like something

168
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: got lost there because that sounds so um, I don't know,

169
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: no feelings. Yeah, yeah, no, totally. I actually switched to

170
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: this translation from a different translation because the sentence made

171
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: even less sense than the other translation. I can't remember

172
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: it all the top of my head. Um. It was

173
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: actually from a couple of years later, so I thought

174
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: it would be more slightly you know, six year more

175
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: contemporary translation. But post the post Titanic translation really changed

176
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, absolutely, And I totally remember what year

177
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: the Titanic went down. Oh, it's out. You don't want

178
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: to know it went It went down between April fourteenth

179
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: and April fifteenth, nineteen twelve. I used to sit on

180
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: my roof every single year growing up during the times

181
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: the Titanic was thinking and really just think about think

182
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: about the lives lost during the Titanic. Very sick way

183
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: to spend your childhood. Were you a goth kid? No,

184
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: I was. I was just kind of a weird kid. Okay,

185
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: So I feel like maybe we've talked about that. I

186
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 1: don't remember. But I tried to fit into various alternative

187
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: groups as a kid, and no one quite took me on.

188
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: It was like just the wrong thing to mourn. No

189
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: one mourns the Titanic. I tried. I tried the goth kids,

190
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: but I couldn't quite hang. I tried the Juggalos, who

191
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: were like such a nice group of kids at my

192
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: high school, but they always played hacky sack in a

193
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: circle outside and I wore a back brace and they're like,

194
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: you can't play hacky sack happy juggalow. So I just um,

195
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: I just played the oboe and minded my own business. Okay, Okay, Well,

196
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: I hope burns as long as is reasonable. Yeah, more,

197
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: as long as it was reasonable, And then began to

198
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: think about getting married again. He was a good sensible

199
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: man and did not concern himself with the maidens. But

200
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: best of all, he liked a certain young widow. She

201
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: knew about children, had two daughters of her own, about

202
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: the same age as Vasilisa, and of course could keep

203
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: the house and do all that a mother should do. Okay,

204
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: the mother married the widow who I don't think it's

205
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: a name. Oh, I was about to say, I like

206
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the widow is my favorite so far, because I just

207
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: like the energy that a second wife brings into a story.

208
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: I have bad news for you about folklore and mother

209
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: in law's Oh. I know folklore hates the second wife

210
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: as an aspiring second wife. I'm always rooting for them. Okay, Okay,

211
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: he made a mistake. He did not find her a

212
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: good mother for his child. Vasilisa was the prettiest girl

213
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: in the whole village, and the stepmother and the stepsisters

214
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: were envious of her beauty. They treated her cruelly and

215
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: made her do impossible tasks so that she might grow

216
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: thin under the burden, and her complexion might turn dark

217
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: under the wind and the sun. It was indeed, it

218
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: was no life for her at all. Was she not

219
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: going outside prior to this? Yeah, she was beautiful so

220
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: of course she wasn't going outside. That's true. She had

221
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: to she had to be kept indoors. But Vasilisa bore

222
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: it uncomplainingly, and every day she grew more beautiful and

223
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: plump than ever, while her stepmother and stepsisters grew uglier

224
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: and thinner from ill temper, in spite of the fact

225
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: that they never did anything but sit around with folded

226
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: hands like fine ladies. How did this happen? Okay, that's

227
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: literally what we do, so I'm still rooting for them. Yeah, yeah, no,

228
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: that's that's fair. Vasilisa's doll helped her. Had it not

229
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: been for that, the poor girl could not have stood

230
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: so much work. Vasilisa did not eat the daintiest morsels

231
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: of her scanty, fair, but she put them aside for

232
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: her little doll, and in the evening, when the rest

233
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: had gone to bed, she would shut herself into her

234
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: little room and give it the good things, saying, here,

235
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: little doll, eat something and listen to my tale of woe. Here.

236
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: I live in my papa's house, but I do not

237
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: get any pleasure out of it. My wicked stepmother is

238
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: trying to drive me out of the bright world. Teach

239
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: me how must I behave and what must I do?

240
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: This is like something that I would do with my

241
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: American girl dolls and still do now as an adult

242
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: American girl doll collector. This is, for example, a conversation

243
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: I would have with my doll logan, have you ever

244
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: been to the American Girl Doll Cafe? No? Where is

245
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: this or anywhere? There's in most major American metropolitan cities.

246
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: We gotta go. I think I'm like, I wonder if

247
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: you would like it's um. They give you a three

248
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: course meal you have to eat with a doll. If

249
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: you don't have a doll, they'll lend you one. And

250
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: yes they serve the doll tiny food. And yes you

251
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: can drink there, and no, you don't need a kid

252
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: to go. Um. I went for my twenty seventh birthday

253
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: and I had a hell of a time. I think

254
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: Margaret would either love or hate it. I kind of

255
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: fund the fence on how you but it is um.

256
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: It is fun. Just you know, just tip well and

257
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: they cut you off it after after three blue moons. Okay, okay, good.

258
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: I can't imagine drinking anything else in front of an

259
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: American girl doll like no, absolutely and and they but

260
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: and they will not serve the American girl doll a

261
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: tiny blue moon, although I was hopeful that they might.

262
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it is a kid. It would be wrong,

263
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, although some of them are probably older than me.

264
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: I was. I mean, I would say that Logan, you know,

265
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: if if I'm sticking to logan canon, I would say

266
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: he would sneak a sip of beer, you know, sure

267
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: as he canomically fourteen, Yes, but a lot of fourteen

268
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: year olds sneap, sneak a little sip here and there.

269
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to answer any of this about my

270
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: own life. First drink, because my parents listen to this podcast.

271
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: So I'm back on board with Basilisa. The doll would

272
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: eat a little and give her good advice and console

273
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: her for her sorrow, and before morning came, it would

274
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: finish every one of Vasilisa's tasks while she was resting

275
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: in the cool air or gathering flowers. The beds were

276
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: weeded for her, the cabbage is watered, the pails filled,

277
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: and the fire made. The doll also taught her how

278
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: to avoid sunburn. It was fine to live with the doll.

279
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: Does Logan do all that? All that? No, Logan has

280
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: never advised me on my skincare routine even once. And

281
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm just realizing, like the magic of a doll that

282
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: you're that you're dying relative gives you. Maybe it's that

283
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: is the skin career. This is the second time skincare

284
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: has come up on this podcast. Last time it was

285
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: about the blood of children or the blood of the virgins.

286
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I mean that's that is a classic skincare technique,

287
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: and they don't You can still use it, but you

288
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: they just call it something different now and I'm not

289
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: gonna say what it is, but it's highaluronic acid. That's

290
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: the blood of virgins. Okay, okay, this gets deeper into

291
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: anyone who listened to the episode where I talked about Batty,

292
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: Now you know more about why that worked. Several years

293
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: passed and Vasilisa grew up into a beautiful maiden. All

294
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: the young men in town sought her, though none none

295
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: of them would so much as look at her step sisters.

296
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: The stepmother was crosser than ever and replied to all

297
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: the suitors, we will not give the youngest one before

298
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: the older ones. As soon as she had sent the

299
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: suitors away, she would vent her spite on Vasilisa with blows.

300
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: Now it happened that the merchant was obliged to go

301
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: away from home for a long time on important business.

302
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: The stepmother went to live in another house which stood

303
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: near a dense forest, and in this was a hut

304
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: where Baba Yaga, the witch dwelt. She was a wicked

305
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: hat who never permitted any person to approach her, and

306
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: she ate men like chickens. I love her girl already,

307
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: I imagining the the like reveal of Angelica Houston and

308
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: the witches as Bobby AGAs like reveal into the story. Oh,

309
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: I love it. Having settled into her new home, the

310
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: merchant's wife kept inventing pretexts to send the detested Vasilissa

311
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: into the forest, but the girl always came back without accident.

312
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: The doll showed her the way and did not let

313
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: her go near the bobby Agaz hut. Autumn came. The

314
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: stepmother one time gave the three girls their evenings work

315
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: to do. She bade one to make woven lace, the

316
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: second to nit stockings, but she set Vasilisa to spinning.

317
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: She put out the lights throughout the house and left

318
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: only one little candle where the girls were working, and

319
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: she herself went to bed. While the girls were working,

320
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: the candle began to gut her. One of the girls

321
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: took the snuffers to trim the wick, but instead of

322
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: doing so, she followed her mother's directions and as if

323
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: accidentally put out the candle. Wait, what is the candle guttering? Help? Yeah? Yeah,

324
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: no no, so so a candle guttering is where it's like, oh,

325
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: it's okay, okay, it's it's doing the scary thing. Yeah. Yeah,

326
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: it was like starting to go out. Yeah. And then

327
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: as for snuffers that somehow trimmed the wick, I do

328
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: not know what this object looks like. I assumed it

329
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: was one of those little bells that put on the candle,

330
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: but that doesn't trim the wick, so there must be

331
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: scissors on the someone who's listening knows. As an avid

332
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: viewer of candle YouTube, I can say that a wig

333
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: trimmer and a candle snuffer two very different investments. You

334
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: should argue with this and translator, because I think that

335
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: you would have done a better job. That's sounded sarcastic.

336
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't earnest, but it was somewhere in

337
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: between the two. I'm trying to make fun of Okay,

338
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: now what are we going to do, asked the girls.

339
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: There's not a light in the whole house, and our

340
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: stints are not finished. We must go to the bobby

341
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: Aga after a light. I have all the light I

342
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: want from my bosom pin, said the one who is

343
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: working on the lace. I won't go, and I won't go,

344
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: said the one who was knitting stockings. I have enough

345
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: light from my knitting needles. Vasilisa must go after the light,

346
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: cried both of them. Hurry to Babba Yaga the witch

347
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: and get it, and they drove her out of the room.

348
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Vasilisa went into her little room, set before her doll

349
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: the supper that she had saved for her, and said, now, dolly,

350
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: take your supper and listen to my tale of woe.

351
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: They're sending me to the bobby Yaga after fire, and

352
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: the bobby Aga will eat me. The doll ate the food,

353
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: and her eyes gleamed like two candles. Do not be afraid,

354
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: little Vasilisa, she said, sounding very much like a biblical angel. No, okay,

355
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: go whi or they send you. Only keep me with

356
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: you always. When you have me, you have nothing to

357
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: fear at the witch's hut, So Vasilisa made haste, hid

358
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: the doll in her pocket, and, having crossed herself, went

359
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: into the dense forest. As she went along, tremblingly, a

360
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: horseman suddenly galloped past her. He was white, his dress

361
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: was white, the horse he rode was white, and the

362
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: horses trappings were white. Outdoors, it began to grow light.

363
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: So that's that's going to be a metaphor, And that's

364
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: going to be a metaphor for something. What what did

365
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: you read ahead of? You already knew this story. Okay, this,

366
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: this damn doll is cracking me up. This doll goes

367
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: back and forth between being like an employee of Vasilisa's

368
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: and then randomly acting like the Godfather, Like I'm picturing

369
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: the doll with like cutting a steak, being like, don't

370
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: worry about it, bring me in Witch's house. We're going

371
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: to take care of this. No. Like, the doll is

372
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: absolutely the uninterrogated character in this Like all of the

373
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: other characters have like these like explanations and like Bobby

374
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: yagas like this crazy witch, but nothing about the fucking

375
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: doll that is Like, this doll is very versatile in

376
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: the roles they can fill in this story because it's like,

377
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: I I love the doll, and I am picturing like

378
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: kind of a Danny de Vito voice coming out of

379
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: coming out of a doll to take to take care

380
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: of the situation. I'm just I think the doll represents

381
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: financial privilege, but I'm not sure. Because you can, just

382
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: like your mom died, leave to here with this blessing

383
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: where you don't have to do any work. You don't

384
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: have to worry about anything because anytime you're worried, you

385
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: just fall back on it, stand inside and be hot.

386
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the moral. Yeah, yeah, morals are not great. Okay.

387
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: She walked farther and another horseman gallop past. He was read,

388
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: his clothing was red, and he rode a red horse.

389
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: The sun began to rise. Vasilisa walked all night and day,

390
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: and only towards the next evening did she reach the

391
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: clearing where stood the Baba Yaga's hut. The fence around

392
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: the hut was made of men's bones, and the posts

393
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: were decorated with human skulls instead of doorposts, where men's

394
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: leg bones instead of shutters were arms. Instead of a

395
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: lock was a mouth with sharp teeth. I'm getting the idea. Yeah,

396
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: I would love if this description went on for ten

397
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: bab pages. Like instead of a door knob, there there

398
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: was a little There is a little vial of hair

399
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 1: instead of a totally there's a fingernail instead of one

400
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: of those things that goes on the window. The doorbell

401
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: was just a guy who was like, you can hit

402
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: me with a stick. I'll yell. You have to spank

403
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: someone with a stick or she won't come to the door. Yeah,

404
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: And actually, apparently in the original before this translation, they

405
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: then talked about the chicken legs, but the translator was like, oh,

406
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, that seems complicated, and it was like

407
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: ruining his vibe. Wow, this translator, I really have some

408
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: because like that's the part. Yeah, it's a big, it's

409
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: a big. Yeah, that's very scary. Yeah, Vasilisa was benumbed

410
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: with terror, and which obviously doesn't make any sense unless

411
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: it's the chicken legs, so okay, But Vasilisa was benumbed

412
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: with terror and stood as if rooted to the spot.

413
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: Suddenly another horseman came riding along. He was black, his

414
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: clothing was black, and he rode a black horse. He

415
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: galloped up to the bobby AGA's gates and disappeared as

416
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: if he had sunk through the earth. Night had come,

417
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: but the darkness did not last long. In the skulls

418
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: on the fence, eyes gleamed, and it was as light

419
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: as noon all over the clearing. Vasilisa shook with terror,

420
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: but not knowing where to run, she remained where she was.

421
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: Soon a terrible noise was heard in the forest. The

422
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: trees trembled and the dry leaves rustled. It was the

423
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: Bobba Yaga coming. She stormed along in a mortar. She

424
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: whipped it up with her pestle, and she swept away

425
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: the tracks with her besom bessum which I looked it up.

426
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: It's a It just means an old which sproom like cool. Wait,

427
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: new word for bessm b e s o M. I

428
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: don't know how to pronounce it. I probably should have

429
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: looked it up. No, I'm into it. She came up

430
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: to the gates, paused and sniffing all around. Cried, Foo

431
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: foo foo, I smell Russian breath. Who is here? Vasilisa approached.

432
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: Vasilisa approached the old Dame with fear and trembling, and

433
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: bowing low said, it is I Granny, my stepmother's daughter,

434
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: sent me to you to get some fire because there's

435
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: like nowhere else in town. She could have gotten fire

436
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: with two days walk. But you know whatever I'm imagining

Speaker 1: want to hear storm out and say I smell Russian blood?

00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 1: Be Arthur, I think. Okay, wait, who's be Arthur. I'm

444
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: Bobby Aga. That is a good actor. No good, explained

00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: Bobby Aga. I know them. Live on and do some

Speaker 1: work for me and then I will give you some fire.

00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: But if you do not do it, then I will

448
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: eat you up. She turned to the gates and cried, hey,

449
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: my strong fence, give way, open my high gates open.

450
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: The gates opened and the Bobby Yaga went in, and

451
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: Vasilisa followed her, and then all was closed tight again.

452
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: As soon as she entered the room, the Bobby Agatha

453
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: stretched herself out and said to Vassilisa, bring me here,

454
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: what is on the stove? I want to eat? And

455
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: what do you think Jamie Loftus that that there was

456
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: to eat which is hot? M m well, I could

457
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: imagine some homemade stuff, but wouldn't it be better if

458
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: they were, like maybe some sponsored products. I was just

459
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: thinking that. I was thinking, what is better for Vasilisa

460
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: and Bobby Aga and for you the listener than a

461
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: hardy stew made of potatoes sponsor of the show, the

462
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: concept of potatoes. You're sponsored by hardy stu made of potatoes.

463
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: We are, we are. But I for sure thought one

464
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: Jamie Loftus was going to come out and say hot dogs. Look,

465
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's good and if there's anything that

466
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: is more likely to have the flesh of of question

467
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: mark in it, is it not the classic dish the

468
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: hot dog? The rumors are not baseless, all right, hot

469
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: dog horror story. God it's too late, it's almost Halloween already.

470
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: But a witch who blends children into hot dogs. Oh

471
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: it's exciting. No one take the idea. That's my idea

472
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: right now, change this sentence to bring me here, what

473
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: is on the stove? I want to eat those hot dogs.

474
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: Never mind who is in them, said the Bobby had gone,

475
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: and you know what else was in them was all

476
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: of the other products and sponsors of this podcast, like

477
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: these ones, and we are back. And Vasilisa lighted a

478
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: splinter at the skull's eyes on the fence and began

479
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: to take down the food from the stove and give

480
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: it to Bobby Aga. There was enough hot dogs for

481
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: ten men. From the cellar. She brought bread and meat,

482
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: obviously long meat and a long bread tube inat casing. Yeah, yeah,

483
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: beer and snap. I'm sure she's I think I think

484
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: she I'm trying to think of, like, what is a

485
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: villainous hot dog? I mean, but she's like I feel

486
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: like she would know what she was doing. She would

487
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: be it would be grilled, it would be natural casing,

488
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: like she'd be eating good hot dogs. She's not boiling

489
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: this ship, that's for sure. What about those, um, the

490
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: really old the like twenty years ago vegan hot dog,

491
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: the tofu dogs. I feel like that's the most villainous

492
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: hot dog I can imagine. The Yeah that just like

493
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: falls apart in your hands and you're supposed to be

494
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: like thank you. Yeah, the old dame ate and drank,

495
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: leaving for Vassilisa only a bit of soup, a crust

496
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: of bread, and a morsel of roast pig, not even

497
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: a hot dog. Then the bobby Aga lay down to sleep, saying,

498
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: when morning comes, I am going out. Keep your eyes open.

499
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: Clean the court, sweep the hut, get the dinner, prepare

500
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: the bedclothes. Then go into the corn bin, take forty

501
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: bushels of wheat and clean it a fennel. Have all

502
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: of this completely done, or I will eat you up.

503
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: After giving this command, the bobby agab began to snore Vasilisa,

504
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: but the old dame's leavings before the doll burst into

505
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: tears and said, now eat little doll, and listen to

506
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: my tale of woe. The Bobba Yaga has given me

507
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: such a heavy task perform, and she threatens to eat

508
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: me up if it is not all accomplished. Help me privilege.

509
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: The doll replied, if you're not Vasilisa, eat your supper,

510
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: say your prayers, and go to sleep. Morning is wiser

511
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: than the evening, which is actually good advice, that is

512
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: an actual good moral, that is true. I mean, I

513
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: feel like it's pulled from the same logic of like,

514
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: don't go to bed angry, don't make any big decisions

515
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: late at night. Yeah, but this is like the Dolls

516
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: and Godfather mode again. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. While let's sitting

517
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: there with a tiny fork and spoon eating the cutting up, yeah,

518
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: cutting up a hot dog. It's taking a lot of effort,

519
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: but they're so confident that you're like, ash, she'll get it,

520
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: it's mine, and then it starts eating it like um,

521
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: like when a Lord of the Rings villain is like

522
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: eating really gross and sickly at a feast, and like

523
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: it's like a representation. Yeah yeah, and then everyone's like,

524
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: I have musophonia, please. Vasilisa did so. She awoke rather early,

525
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: but the Bobby I got was up before her and

526
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: was king out the window. The eyes and the skulls

527
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: were growing dim, and now the white horseman galloped by

528
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: and it became quite bright. The Bobby Aga went outdoors whistled,

529
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: and before her appeared her mortar and pestle and bassoom.

530
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: The red Horseman flashed by, and the sun came up.

531
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: The Bobby Aga got into her mortar and started off.

532
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: She spurred it on with the pestle and swept away

533
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: the traces with her bassom. Vasilisa was left alone and

534
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: she began to investigate the Bobby Eaga's house. She was

535
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: amazed at the abundance of everything, and she could not

536
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: make up her mind which tasks she would take hold

537
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: of first. But she soon discovered that her work was

538
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: done for her already. The doll was just separating out

539
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: from the wheat the last grains of the fennel. Oh

540
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 1: you are my dear deliverer, exclaimed Vasilisa. You have saved

541
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: me from misfortune. All that is left for you to

542
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: do is to get dinner, replied the doll, climbing into

543
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: Vasilisa's pocket. Get it and God be with you. But

544
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: now take a good rest for your health. Vasilisa is

545
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: going to get hit with the invoice while lifetime from

546
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: this doll to She's thinking, this is like some sort

547
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: of long term internship. This doll is going to come

548
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: back for her money. This is by it, okay. Toward evening,

549
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: Vasilisa left the table and waited for the Bobby Aga.

550
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: It began to grow dark. The black horseman galloped by

551
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: the gates. Then the eyes and the skulls began to

552
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: gleam the trees trembled, the leaves rustled. Up came the

553
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: bobby Aga. Vasilisa met her. Is her work all done?

554
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: Asked the hag. You can see for yourself, granny, replied Vasilisa.

555
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: The bobby Aga looked all around and became very angry,

556
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: because there was nothing to be angry about. We've all

557
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: been there. Okay, yeah, wow hashtag relatable content from the

558
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: bobby Aga. Very good, she said, sullenly. Then she cried,

559
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: my faithful servants, my bosom friends, grind my wheat for me.

560
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: Instantly appeared three pairs of hands seized the wheat and

561
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: carried it out of sight. The witch ate her supper,

562
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: laid down to sleep, and gave again Basilisa her orders tomorrow.

563
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: Do the same as you did today, But above all,

564
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: take from the corn crib the poppy and clean it

565
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: of all dirt to the last seed. You'll cause trouble

566
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: for someone if the least a bit of earth is

567
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: mixed with the poppy. Then she turned her face to

568
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: the wall and began to snore. As before, Vasilisa gave

569
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: her doll something to eat. The doll ate it and

570
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: told her what she had told her the night before

571
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: pray to God and go to sleep. Morning is wiser

572
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: than evening. All shall be done, dear little Vasilisa. In

573
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: the morning, Bobby Aga again flew away in her mortar,

574
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: and Vasilisa and the doll quickly accomplished the work that

575
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: was to be done. In the evening, the old hag

576
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: came home, inspected everything, and cried out, my faithful servants,

577
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: my bosom friends, make some oil out of this poppy.

578
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: Three pairs of hands appeared, seized the poppy, and carried

579
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: it out of sight. The bobby Aga sat down to

580
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: its supper, and while she ate, Vasilisa stood by in silence.

581
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: Why don't you have something to say to me, asked

582
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: the witch. You stand there like one tongue tied. I

583
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: did not dare to, said Vasilisa, But if you will

584
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: allow me, I should like to ask you something. Ask away.

585
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: Only remember not every question leads to good. If you

586
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: come to know too much, you will quickly grow old.

587
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: Oh scary, uh, scary message. Also, why is the Vasilisa

588
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: tried to poison her yet? Vassilisa is just come on,

589
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: come on, yeah, well we'll actually talk about not that

590
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: I want the Bobby you gotta get hurt because she

591
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: sounds incredible. She sounds like a legend, and like she

592
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't fall for it. The the like why Vassilisa's a

593
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: goody two shoes. Well, we'll actually end up talking about okay, cool,

594
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: I only wanted to ask you about what I saw, Granny.

595
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: As I was coming to you. I was overtaken by

596
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: a white horseman on a white horse and white clothes.

597
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: Who is he? That is my bright day, so the

598
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: Bobby Aga. Then I was overtaken by another horseman on

599
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: a red horse. He was red and in red clothes.

600
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: Who is he? That is my red son, replied the

601
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: Bobby Agaw. And what was the meaning of the black

602
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: horseman who overtook me? Just at your gates? Granny, that

603
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: was my black night? All are my faithful servants. Vasilisa

604
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: remembered the three pairs of hands, but said nothing more.

605
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: Why don't you ask something more, demanded the Bobby Aga.

606
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: I am afraid of what you said might happen to me.

607
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: If one comes to know too much, one grows old.

608
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: It is good, said the Bobby Agaw, that you should

609
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: only ask about what you have seen out of doors,

610
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: and not what you have seen in the house. I

611
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: do not like people to tell tales about me out

612
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: of school, and I eat up those who are too inquisitive.

613
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: And now I'm going to put a question to you.

614
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: How did you succeed in doing the work which I

615
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: gave you to do. Wow, my mother's blessings helped me

616
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: talk shit and end up in a hot dog. That

617
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: is I mean, that's your slogan. You have that back

618
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: patch on your vest. But this is talk. If you

619
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: talk about what you see in my house? Can I

620
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: end up in a hot dog? What is that be

621
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: gone for me? You daughter with the blessing. I don't

622
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: want people who have been blessed. And she dragged Vasilisa

623
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: from the room and pushed her out of the gates.

624
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: Then she took down from the fence one of the

625
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: skulls with the lighted eyes, put it on a stick

626
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: and gave it to her, saying, here is the light

627
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: for your step sisters. Take it. That is what they

628
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: sent you here for. Vasilisa hastened home on the run

629
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: by the light of the skull, and it did not

630
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: go out till the next morning. At last, toward the

631
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: evening on the second day, she reached her home. As

632
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 1: she went through the gates, she was going to throw

633
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: the skull away. Why of course, she said to herself,

634
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: they won't need the light now. But suddenly she heard

635
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: a quiet voice from the skull saying, don't throw me away,

636
00:36:53,560 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: take me to your stepmother. Okay. Yeah. She looked up

637
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: at her stepmother's house, and not seeing a light in

638
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: any window, she resolved to go in with the skull.

639
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: The first person she met spoke kindly to her and

640
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: told her that since she had been away, there's been

641
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: no light in the house. They couldn't make anything burn,

642
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: and the fire which they tried to bring from the

643
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: neighbors went out the moment it was brought into the house.

644
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: Perhaps your light will keep, said the stepmother. They carried

645
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: the skull into the house. Then the eyes gazed so

646
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: steadily at the stepmother and the daughters that it burnt them.

647
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: They tried to hide, but wherever they went the eyes

648
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: always followed them. In the morning, they were burnt to ashes,

649
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: but it did not touch Vasilisa. Wow, because she she

650
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: didn't do ship and she minded her own business, Like

651
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: how good girl. Yeah, you're starting to get you're starting

652
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: to catch on This is not Bobby a Go's fault

653
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: that she has used this way. Bobby, you got blameless.

654
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: Ye did nothing wrong. Bobby a God did nothing wrong?

655
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: Is a shirt totally. Then Vasilisa buried the skull on

656
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: the ground, locked the house up, and went into the

657
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: city and asked for shelter with an old woman with

658
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: whom she had no relations, or who who had no relations.

659
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: She said to the old woman, it is tiresome for

660
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: me to have nothing to do. Granny, come by me

661
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: the very best flax and I will spin it for you. Okay, Yeah,

662
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: that was like more evidence of them. She's acting so weird.

663
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: Why is she acting so weird? The three Like, I

664
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: know she didn't like her relatives and they were cruel

665
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: to her, but they turned to ash and she's like,

666
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: better bury this skull and go find someone to adopt me,

667
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: Like what is wrong with her? All right? But but

668
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: hear me out if I'm staying with some people. And

669
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: then I murdered the ship out of them by accident,

670
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: I might bury and then moved to a different city.

671
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: I guess, So, I guess I'm just not expecting this

672
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: from Vasilisa, who has not done really much active things

673
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: so far. She was pretty. That's true, she was pretty,

674
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: and she never got a sunburn, which this story is

675
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: weirdly fixated on sunburns and just burned in general. Yep ye.

676
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: The woman brought some of the very best flax, and

677
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: Vasilisa sat down to her task. The work fairly glowed

678
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: under her hands, and the thread that she made came

679
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: out as smooth and as even as her hair. She

680
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: made a lot of thread, the finest that was ever seen.

681
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: No one could equal it. Vasilisa had gone to ask

682
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: her doll's advice, and the doll had said, bring me

683
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,959
Speaker 1: an old comb in an old shuttle, even a curry comb.

684
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: I will do it for you. So Vasilisa got her

685
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: all that was asked for and went to bed, and

686
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: the doll during the day made a splendid loom. Towards

687
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: the end of the winter, the linen was all spun,

688
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: and it was so fine that one could pass it

689
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 1: through the eye of a needle like thread. In the spring,

690
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: they bleached the linen and Vasilisa said to the old woman, Granny,

691
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: take this linen and get some money for it. The

692
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: old dame looked at the stuff and exclaimed, no, my

693
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: dear child. No one except the czar should wear such linen.

694
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: I will take it to court. What this is a

695
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: very eccentric area, that's like imagine okay, imagine if you will,

696
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: mark you you present me with a scarf that you've knitted,

697
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: and I retort by saying I couldn't possibly wear this scarf.

698
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: We've got to bring this scarf to the White House.

699
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: We've got to Joe Biden needs this scarf. I need

700
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: John mine and wearing this scarf today and I will

701
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: personally what a wild reaction. Okay, okay, I'm on board

702
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: that my adult that Taylor the American doult what's wait,

703
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: what's your hi? Oh? Logan, Logan, Logan and Tyler are

704
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: the same in my head. I'm sorry, Logan, same energy. Sorry,

705
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: sorry too, Sorry to all the Logans and Tyler's out there.

706
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: Um yeah, okay, so we're bringing we're bringing the Dolls

707
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: scarf to the Joe Biden of the area. Interesting and

708
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: what else should we bring to this ours court? Well,

709
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: I mean you're supposed to bring certain offerings, and a

710
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: lot of them I think should be sponsored goods and

711
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: maybe even services. Okay, okay, well then let's let's let's

712
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: listen and then pick through and pick our favorite, and

713
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: we are back and none of those ads are good

714
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: enough for Joe Biden. Wow. If there's one thing I

715
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: know about Margaret Killjoy is that she wants what's best

716
00:41:53,080 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden. Nothing that can spreading about. Yeah, much

717
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: like I feel about the Czar. So she went to

718
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: the Tsar's palace and kept marching up and down in

719
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: front of the windows. Bizarre saw her and asked, what

720
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: do you want, old Dame. Your majesty, she replied, I

721
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: have brought you some wonderful cloth. I do not want

722
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: to show it to anyone except yourself. This doesn't turn

723
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: into a murder of the Tsar thing, which is really

724
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: confusing to me. Oh that's a that's a bummer. I

725
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: was sort of hoping that Bobbig would have it in

726
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: for the Tsar and something like, yeah, yeah, it's not

727
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: where it's going though. No, although like I'm like, I

728
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't rewrite it on the flash. We could punch

729
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: this up, but I think we'll worsh up this. Yeah,

730
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: these are commanded that would be brought before him, And

731
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: when he saw the linen, he was dumbfounded. Why did

732
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: you think you should know? Um, what will you take

733
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: for this? He asked? It will not cost you Anything's

734
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: our father, I have brought it for you as a gift.

735
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: Bizarre thanked her and sent her off with handsome presents. Yeah,

736
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: it's almost like the concept of folklore is to reinforce

737
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: values that the society wants people to have. But how

738
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: has bring the tsarre? Bring the tsar? All right? Whatever? Fine?

739
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: From that linen, they started to make Bizarre some shirts.

740
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: They cut them out, but they could not find a

741
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: seamstress anywhere to make them. They searched long, and at

742
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: last there's are summoned the old dame and said to her,

743
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: you are clever enough to spin and weave this cloth,

744
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: you must be clever enough to make some shirts out

745
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: of it. Sovereign, it was not I who spun and

746
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: wove this cloth of the old dame. It is the

747
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: work of my adopted daughter. Well, let her make them,

748
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: he said. The woman went home and told Vasilisa all

749
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: about this I knew, said Vasilisa that this work of

750
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: my hands would not suit them. She shut herself in

751
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: her room and took hold of the work. She sewed steadily,

752
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: without once letting it out of her hands, and soon

753
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: a dozen shirts were ready. The Dame took the shirts

754
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: the Czar and Vasilisa washed her face and hands, combed

755
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: her hair, dressed herself and sat down at the window,

756
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 1: waiting to see what would happen. Presently, one of those

757
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: our servants came into the old dame's yard and said,

758
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: our sovereign's are wishes to see the clever artist who

759
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: has made him the shirts, and to reward him from

760
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: his own hands. Vasilisa and went and showed herself before

761
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: the eyes of the Tzar. When he saw the fair

762
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: young girl who there's been no evidence that this character

763
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: has grown old. Just be clear. I'm very curious. Yeah,

764
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: thank you for clearing that up. Yeah. When he saw

765
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: the fair young girl, he fell passionately in love with her. No,

766
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: he exclaimed, I will never part with you. You shall

767
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: be my wife. So the Tsar took Vasilisa town. Yeah place,

768
00:44:54,480 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: this place is so stressful. It feels like Bobby Yaga is,

769
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: or like the Bobby you got is the only person

770
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: who is reacting to anything with the proper intensity. Absolutely, absolutely, so,

771
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 1: the Czar took Vasilisa by her white hands and caused

772
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: her to sit by his side, caused her to sit

773
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: by his son cause oh this is so yeah, this

774
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: translation is freaking me out, caused her. I'm imagining a

775
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: soup lex like, I mean, what is marriage in a

776
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: traditional night like back in the day anyway, But causing

777
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: you to sit by someone else's side, I guess it's true.

778
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: It implies lack of choice, and so they celebrated a

779
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: great wedding. Vasilisa's father soon afterwards returned home. He has

780
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: not like she's gone off and got herself adopted by someone.

781
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: He was delighted with her good fortune. Go ahead, and

782
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: it was he like, where is my wife at? Where

783
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: is my step don't where do you care about that?

784
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: You're right? His daughter has been caused to marry the csar,

785
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: So his wife, he was delighted with her good fortune,

786
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: and from that time forth he lived at his daughter's.

787
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: Vasilisa took the old dame also to be with her,

788
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: but the doll she kept in her pocket to the

789
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: very end of her days. The end, the end. This

790
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: story is confusing. I have I'm going to go full

791
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: like the worst kind of YouTuber mode and be like

792
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: all the plot holes and the Bobby Yugas story interesting,

793
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Looks like someone some writers didn't

794
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: get the message that a story is supposed to have

795
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: a beginning, middle, and an end. Jamie, you're triggering me.

796
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: I do not like this. Wait, Jamie, where did you

797
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: get that hat? What do you call that type of hat?

798
00:46:55,080 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: Is that a Trilby or a Fedora? Lady, It's a Fedora.

799
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: And in this essay I will be talking about the

800
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: implications of the Bobbiaga why Vasilisa did nothing wrong? I oh,

801
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: my god, what I do? That said? That said, I

802
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of questions about the Bobby God

803
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: doesn't even get to come back. That's my said, that's

804
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: my sadness. She disappears. So one of the things about

805
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: the stories about Bobbia Gas, Bobbia Gas always a side character,

806
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: Bobbia Ga sometimes Bobbia guys like the main villain, right,

807
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: and this one Bobbia Gas barely even a villain. But

808
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: Bobbia Gas always a thing that people are tested against

809
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: rather than like really even a person. In a lot

810
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: of ways. Um so, so I guess like in the

811
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 1: internal logic of this story, like Vassily is a navigating

812
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: and surviving the Bobby Yaga situation is just like what

813
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: she needs to get her to get as our husband. Huh, Margaret,

814
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: I have a question, which is what is the moral

815
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: this story? So the moral of the story, as far

816
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: as I can tell, the more of a lot of

817
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: Bobby Aga stories is um, listen to your mother and

818
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: don't trust the bad mother, which is either the stepmother

819
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: or the wicked witch in the woods. Bobby Aga like

820
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: often is the standing for like bad mom. It's like

821
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: as the evil old woman figure. And so basically there's

822
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: different like lessons. It's who gets thrown against Bobby Aga

823
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: like leads to different things. And if you're a young girl,

824
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: then being obedient is the way to deal with Bobby Aga.

825
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: And I think if you're a grown ass man, being

826
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: looking for a lady is a good way to interact

827
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: with Bobby Aga. And yeah, I don't know, It's it's

828
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: basically this like fear of the woods, like don't go

829
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: into the dark woods of the which will eat you.

830
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: But if you're good and obedient, you will survive that experience.

831
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: And what is the scarier thing in this era than

832
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: an older woman living by herself and seeming to have

833
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: a nice time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, terrifying. And so I'm

834
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit. We're gonna talk about kind

835
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: of who Bobby Aga is today and then when we

836
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 1: come back Wednesday, we'll talk more about what it all means,

837
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: and there'll be another story. There's another story, okay because

838
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: this one. Sorry, I'm putting my Fedora on again. What

839
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: is the so is the doll kind of this like

840
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: personification of good good mommy, and then Bobby Yaga is.

841
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: That's maybe the most famous story about Babagan. It's the

842
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 1: one I run across the most um partly because there's

843
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: this really beautiful art from edition of us Alisa the

844
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: Beautiful that is like metal bands use it as their

845
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: T shirts. Um, I have a Regana shirt, which is

846
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: a really sick metal band. It's a do metal band

847
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: and they use Specialisa the Beautiful as their art and stuff.

848
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: But probably for others, Vasilisa is a popular character. That's

849
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: yeah interesting. I mean I think it's like I think

850
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: it's because the art. Honestly, there's like this like you know,

851
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: Russian girl walking through the woods with a skull gleaming

852
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: light on a stick. It's pretty fucking metal you know.

853
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was about It was about Okay, I

854
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: see that shirt at the merch booth, I take out

855
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 1: my credit Yeah, yeah, totally yeah, that's why. No, never mind,

856
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: all right. And so, so she's the scary old crone

857
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: that that lives in the woods and stories she helps,

858
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: some stories she hurts. But in the ones which she helps,

859
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,439
Speaker 1: she always has the capacity to do great violence. She's

860
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: never like, hey, little lost friend, here you go. And

861
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: it's as I was talking about earlier, but now I'm

862
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: just reading the script anyway, it's the clever girls, the

863
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,320
Speaker 1: ones who do as they're told, who survived their encounters

864
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,479
Speaker 1: with Bobby a gum. So who the fund is Bobby Aga.

865
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: It depends on the story. You'll be shocked to know this.

866
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: And there there are some things that they all tend

867
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: to agree on. Bobbiaga is a wizened old crone who

868
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: lives in the forest or at the edge of the forest,

869
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: sometimes underground, but usually edge of the forest. Her hut

870
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: stands on chicken legs. Sometimes it's two legs, sometimes it's

871
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: four legs, sometimes it's goat legs, but usually it's chicken legs. Yeah,

872
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 1: I mean, not that anyone asked, But I really love

873
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: the chicken legs. I just think it's because also precarious,

874
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, goat legs are sturdy. Yeah, chicken legs. Um,

875
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: excuse me, Okay, sorry, I've bet Fedora on again. No, no, no,

876
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,479
Speaker 1: this is a it's a good Um. It's your inner self.

877
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,399
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you're letting your true self be seen.

878
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: The house can walk around on these legs. Sometimes it

879
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: can move around, but more often it kind of stays

880
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: in one place, and it can turn in place. Um.

881
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: In a lot of ways, the house is its own entity.

882
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 1: Often when the traveler arrives, they can't find the door.

883
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes the houses no windows or doors, and you can

884
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: make the house turn around and face you with like

885
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: the so you can see the door if you say

886
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: the right command, which one of the examples of the

887
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: right command is hut hut, stand with your back to

888
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: the forest your front to me, which is very literal.

889
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm saying that all the time. Yeah, totally. Um,

890
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: that's what I do. That's super helpful. My self driving

891
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: car that I totally own. That's how I get my

892
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: car to come to me. Um, it's on chicken legs.

893
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: That's it. That would be I mean, if there's anything

894
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: that's going to get me on board with self driving cars,

895
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 1: which feels near impossible. But if we're talking a little

896
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 1: chicken legs that can read my mind, maybe plug me in. Exactly,

897
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: they went down the wrong alley, like focusing on like

898
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: Tesla and all these like scientists. It should have been

899
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: focusing on on Bobby Aga, which is why I'm looking

900
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: for investors company that will No, I'm not going to

901
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: try and become an never mind. The hut is surrounded

902
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: by a fence made of bones, with skull lanterns topping

903
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: the posts. In some stories there's a skull missing, which

904
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: is a spot waiting to be your skull. Oh, that

905
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: is creepy. Inside the hut, she might be lying on

906
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: the stove, her body stretched from one corner of the

907
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: hut to the other, with her nose having grown so

908
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 1: long it goes into the ceiling. Sometimes her breasts hang

909
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: down over a car like a curtain rod um. A

910
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: lot of old folklore is like really into being like

911
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: and this lady is ugly, and by that I mean tits,

912
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: saggy tits. People get really into that people, I mean

913
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: people loves some some saggy tit imagery when it comes

914
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: to a woman they're supposed to hate, picking up on

915
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: some anti Semitic stuff. This is like, I feel like

916
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: all the cartoon logic classics of a way to characterize

917
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: a villain in the worst kind of way. But I

918
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: love her. I love that she. How did she get

919
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: so big? I'm not it was sometimes actually a lot

920
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: of stories she's in ogress and like literally a giant um.

921
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: And I'll talk a little bit about the origins of

922
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: that version of it. Uh. Sometimes she stirs the coals

923
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: of her fire with her nose. Uh. Sometimes she's a

924
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: regular sized woman and is like rail thin and ugly.

925
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes she has bear claws for hands. Sometimes she has

926
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: iron teeth, and sometimes has iron teeth like protrude from

927
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: her gums, either like boar tusks or just like kind

928
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: of like sideways like sticking out. Did she ever have

929
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: guns for hands? Yeah? Probably, Um. I can't imagine a

930
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: version where she doesn't have guns from hands actually, um.

931
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: And like one of the things that a lot of

932
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of feminists who quite like Bobby Agad

933
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: for some odd reason, and one of the main one

934
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: one of the things that comes up is that like

935
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: she just does not give a ship that she's ugly.

936
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: She like revels in her power, right, And that's like

937
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: the beauty of being a crone is like your your past,

938
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: the judgment of society that wants. Like Vasilisa only has

939
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: one value, and it's that she's beautiful and obedient. I

940
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: guess she has two values. Bobby Aga has all kinds

941
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: of value because she can like funk everything up that

942
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: she wants and she controls night and day and the

943
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: sun and ship. You know, I love that rate of

944
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: it because it's like, yeah, I mean, Vasily is the

945
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: beautiful I know we're supposed to view her as the

946
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: virtuous hero, but it's like everything about her that's considered

947
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: societally desirable is what is also actively hindering her life

948
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: totally being any kind of interesting of like, okay, you

949
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: we think you're beautiful, so you can never go outside

950
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: or have an experience and uh the czarre things. You're beautiful,

951
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 1: so you actually have to marry him today right now,

952
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: and you're going to be caused to sit next to him.

953
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: Is that what it been? Is? Yeah? So it is

954
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 1: like she's and and then the Bobby it got well,

955
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm sure that there are drawbacks, but

956
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: it's like she's just completely liberated from anyone's bullshit, which

957
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: does seem to have its merits. And she's a homeowner. Okay,

958
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: she's a homeowner, I know. And she doesn't have aspirational

959
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: like she doesn't. She is her own doll. She is

960
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 1: her own you know, godfather figure. She right, she doesn't

961
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: need a doll. She does in need uh, she's she's

962
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: in need a mom meet. Although I would I do

963
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: want to know what her mom was like. Well, we'll

964
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about her origins. Um. I think

965
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: maybe more on Wednesday, but I'm not sure where is

966
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: it in my script? Who knows? The only way to

967
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: know is to go forward. Sometimes she has a leg

968
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: made out of clay or iron or steel. Sometimes one

969
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: one leg has been like shriveled down to bone. Sometimes

970
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: the things that people say about her rhyme like Bobby

971
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: y aga bony leg rhymes in Russian apparently. And she

972
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: leaves every day she's off to you know, she very

973
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: she gets a lot done. She goes off to wherever

974
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: she's doing in the world, usually to steal children for

975
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: her meals. Um comes home every night. Out in the world.

976
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: She rides around in a huge mortar, like a mortar

977
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: and pestle. She crouches in it with her knees almost

978
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: up to her chin, and some of the depictions, some

979
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: of them, it's like a little bit yeah, and in

980
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: one hand you wields the pestle, which she uses like

981
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: a kind of like a riding crop to drive the

982
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: mortar along. Um, although I've also seen it where like

983
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: she's like kind of paddling like a canoe along the

984
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: ground with it. Oh, I like that again, You're just like,

985
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: this is going to be very loud, uh and and arduous,

986
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: which means that while maybe that she's not the most

987
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, mechanically minded, she must be pretty strong, That's true.

988
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I could if you're heaven that thing,

989
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: especially if you're in the fetal position while you're doing it.

990
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: That takes some serious upper arm strength on the bobby

991
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: of gospel. And she has three horsemen who are obedient

992
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: to her, and she's not like you there ride this

993
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: around for me. You know. Do you think the horsemen

994
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: are unionized? Do you think they're paid? I don't know.

995
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: I wonder about the Four Horsemen and the apocalypse, like,

996
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: is that a collective? Is it like work around? Because

997
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: if so, I don't know, fucking bring it. What's the

998
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: internal drama with the four horsemen? Because you know that

999
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: there's like polycule, there's a polyguele in there, and you know,

1000
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: like and then there's there's one person who everyone is like, well,

1001
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: if we had to vote one horseman off the island,

1002
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: we all know who it was. Sorry, but we're not

1003
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: going to go there. Sorry, sorry to that horse. Yeah,

1004
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: that's a good point. In her other hand, she has

1005
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: a broom, which she uses to sweep away the tracks

1006
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: and some of the newer versions of the fairy tale

1007
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: and might say newhere, I mean like a hundred years ago,

1008
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: like the mortar itself flies and then she uses the

1009
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: broom to like sweep away the like basically like the contrails,

1010
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: like the way it disrupts the clouds when she flies,

1011
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: she sweeps it away with the broom. She's often surrounded

1012
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: by birds. Sometimes it's flocks of blackbirds that announced her coming. Uh,

1013
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: the wind also announces her coming. Sometimes black geese follow

1014
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: her around on her daily quest, maybe helping her find

1015
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: a that. Yeah. I love that. Maybe chickens used to

1016
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: follow her around and then something terrible happened. They kind

1017
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: of like vultron up into the house. Okay, I like

1018
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: that better. She smells when people are coming in almost

1019
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: every story about her, specifically, she smells that they're Russian,

1020
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: and it kind of reminds me of Jack and this beanstalk,

1021
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, like a fi fi fo fum I smell

1022
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: the blood of in English mm hmm. And that's how

1023
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: there's I feel like there's there's certain types of people

1024
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: they can smell into cure women from the New England

1025
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: area in in a similar way, and they're not afraid

1026
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: to announce themselves either. Whatever the modern modern equivalent of

1027
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: fi fi faull FuMB is, it might just be dm

1028
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: ngu hi every week until you die. Yeah, it's like

1029
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: line hi hi hi hi, I smell the blood someone

1030
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: who's visibly insecure. Yeah, exactly. Uh. Russian doesn't have a

1031
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: definite versus indefinite article in speech like the versus a,

1032
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: and it uses other context to get those ideas across.

1033
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: It's not like lacking that concept as far as I understand,

1034
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: but translators often struggle to understand. And so something that

1035
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: has come up a lot, is Bobby Aga specific person

1036
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: or is it like a type of creature? H you know,

1037
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: is she Bobby Aga or she the Bobby Aga or

1038
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: she a Bobby Aga. And the answer to that is yes,

1039
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: she is all of those things, depending on the story.

1040
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: I like that that good answer. Sometimes her name is

1041
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: capitalized in the Russian, sometimes it isn't. So sometimes it's

1042
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: just like you know whatever, um. And in some stories

1043
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: she has two sisters, their names names of her sisters,

1044
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: don't I'm gonna give you a chance to guess the

1045
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: names of her sisters. The names of her sisters. What

1046
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: is a riddle? Baba and Yrga. No, it's Bobby Yagan,

1047
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Bobby Yaga, they all have the same name. Have you

1048
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: said what Babba Yaga? Does it translate to anything? Or

1049
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: is it just like yeah? Okay? So then this is

1050
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: this cuts into this cuts into Wednesdays. But actually this

1051
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, I should have put this here, so I'm

1052
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: being such a big So Baba Yaga as two different things.

1053
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: Baba is grandma uh and then a lot of Slavic

1054
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: land languages baba means grandma. And that's why like characters

1055
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: are like being like hey granny, right, um, and I'll

1056
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: talk about some of the ideological that gets interesting, and

1057
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: then you got people have said, oh, it translates this,

1058
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: or it's etymologically similar to this. But there's like eighteen

1059
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: different things that people think it's similar to as far

1060
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: as I can tell us, basically just a proper name

1061
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: in this context, um, because it's like some people are like, oh,

1062
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: it comes from serpent, or it comes from deceiver, or

1063
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: it comes from which, or it becomes from this, that

1064
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: or the other thing. So there is like the most

1065
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: common direct translation of Babbiaga's grandmother, which which is very

1066
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: fitting to how because like, oh, there's a grandmother witch

1067
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: who lives in the forest, right, But yeah, sometimes she

1068
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: guards the water of life, which can bring people back

1069
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: from the dead. Sometimes she guards both the waters of

1070
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: life and death. The water of life brings you back

1071
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: from the dead, but the water of death reconstitutes your

1072
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: corpse because it's like the water of corpses. So if

1073
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: you're like beheaded or whatever, you can't just like sprinkle

1074
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the water of life on you, right, or you'll come

1075
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: back from the dead entire, right, and then you'll just

1076
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: you'll just be in extreme pain. Yeah, so you need

1077
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: both the waters of life and death. Sometimes she sucks

1078
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: the life out of women out by their breasts. There

1079
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: is quite possibly a fair amount of lesbianism and the

1080
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: older stories that was kind of left out of the

1081
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: translations into English. And I've only found references to this

1082
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 1: in like an academic book that's like, oh and some

1083
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: of the subtext of this was left out of the translations,

1084
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like, motherfucker, giving this subtext, this is all

1085
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: I want. Yeah, I was like, Um, there's maybe a

1086
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: lot of people out there who would love to hear

1087
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: a story about a mysterious woman in the woods sucking

1088
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: the life out of your table. There's maybe just a

1089
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: lot of people who want to hear that. Yeah. I

1090
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: think that we could probably make a living writing those stories. Actually,

1091
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: um fifty shape never mind, Um, maybe better than any

1092
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: of that. Anyway, she has and there's actually so Babbia

1093
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: got is the main name that people use for now,

1094
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: but she has dozens or hundreds of names. Uh, Like

1095
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: most of the iconic figures out of folklore. Um, she's

1096
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: most known for being Russian, but there's versions of her

1097
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: found in pretty much every Slavic culture, and echoes of

1098
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: her can be found throughout the world, and like comparable

1099
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: figures can be found in cultures are around the world.

1100
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: And one of the things that's interesting about her, she's

1101
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: the figure of the witch right, but in most Western

1102
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: European belief which is our individual mortal women who made

1103
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: some kind of pact with the devil um, bobby Aga

1104
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: is more of a force of nature herself. She doesn't

1105
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: need the devil. There's one origin for her story for

1106
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: her that involves the devil. The Devil's like, you know

1107
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: what I need? I need like a bad bitch. So

1108
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: he finds twelve of the worst women he could find

1109
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: and he throws them into the devil stupot, cooks them up,

1110
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: he inhales the steam, and then he spits back into

1111
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: the cauldron and out pops Bobby I hope he at

1112
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: least made like a sexy calendar with them, the twelve

1113
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: of the worst women in the world. That's a calendar

1114
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: that would be really appealing to me. Wait, so he

1115
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: boiled twelve women together, and then the Bobby Aga was

1116
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the result. Yeah, boiled the women together and hailed the

1117
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: steam of the boiling women and then spit and Bobby

1118
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 1: AGAs was created from the spin of the devil after

1119
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: hailing the steam of the twelve the people that he

1120
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: hired for the calendar. Wow, that's it. That's a very

1121
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: um thorough cooking process. Um. I don't think that's where

1122
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: Bobby Got comes from. That's like one version, right, but

1123
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it is a little bit later than Bobby A. Gaza

1124
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 1: as a specifically constituted mythical character. And when we come

1125
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,960

01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 1: as my cliffhanger. But doesn't we don't have to like

1127
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: end it there if you have like thoughts. But that's

1128
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: why I got for a cliffhanger. No, I mean, I
