13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: wow what happens at that? But like there's a plot

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: that's a huge plot point. I'll just I'll tell you afterwards. Okay.

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: If never gonna watch the show, yeah I probably won't.

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like I pick and choose what I'm going

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: to get into, you know, like it's a commitment. Especially

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: how many seasons did that thing goes six for? You're

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: not like most people who just watch whatever is on

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: in front of them until it's over a lot of people.

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Do most people do what you don't think. People pick

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: and choose their their culture, they consume. I think that

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: they do, but I think they're they're more ready to

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: jump in than I am. Like the idea of like

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: taking your tablet to the beach to watch TV. That's

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: not like a great thing to me. That's that's like

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: what happened to us. So what you're saying is you're

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: more selective than your average Joe. I guess. But I

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: don't mean to make myself seem all like Laude dot

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: or anything like that. You know, I'm just saying I

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: don't watch I don't watch TV shows like Narcos. Remember

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: I told you to watch it the other day. Yeah,

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: and other folks have told me that, So I'm gonna

34
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: watch it. So I saw the first episode amazing, amazing stuff. Um,

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: and I started to watch the second one. I was like,

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: I just I can't write now. I don't know what

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: it is about me. So you recommended that to me

38
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: before you saw it. No, I saw the first US like,

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: I could have seen the first couple of minutes and

40
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: it would have been like, go watch this whole series.

41
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be great, and then you bailed

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, but I haven't bailed entirely. But I

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: guess that's my point. Is I like, like, it's not

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: just something I can pick up like willy nilly, and

45
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why because it's TV. Well, here's what

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: I used to do. Boy, we're already so sidetracked, but

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: I don't care um because there's no one in here,

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: no one here to stop us, right to pull the plug.

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: Here's what I used to do is I would watch

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: a show, let's say a few seasons, and then if

51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: it started getting bad, like True Blood or Dexter, I

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: would be like, well, yeah, but I've got to finish it.

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: And then I got to the point where I was like, no,

54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: I don't need to finish it. I can bail on

55
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 1: a TV show that starts to suck. Yeah, the show

56
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: runner bailed on you exactly, so why can't you bail on?

57
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: And then I'll just read about the finale because that's

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: all I care about is seeing how it ended. And

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: in the case of Dexter's finale, it was amazingly all

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: fully great. So but yeah, I think that's that's fair.

61
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Same with books. Too, I mean, like, why plow through

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: a book that you're like, I cannot I cannot care

63
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: about this any longer. I think it have I'm only

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: forty four, but I do since my mortality a little bit, like,

65
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: wait a minute, do I need to watch this season

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: of this thing that I don't like because I'm gonna die?

67
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: And I haven't seen Casablanca yet? What I haven't seen Casablanca?

68
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Really you should, I know, because I'm gonna die. I

69
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: mean you should, Like that's a any any night of

70
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: the week kind of movie. You know, I plan to? Okay? Um, So,

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: speaking of dying, Chuck, it turns out that in fairy Tales,

72
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: these wonderful little things that Disney promoted and turned into well,

73
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: wonderful little things, it started out with a lot more death,

74
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: a lot more destruction, a lot more cannibalism, how about murder, rape, incest, torture, kidnapping,

75
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: sex with the comatose, necrophilia, probably somewhere in one we

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: haven't heard of yet. Um, but yeah, that's where fairy

77
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: tales or that's the kind of um, that's the type

78
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: of tales that fairy Tales started out as. Yeah, and

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: we are going to uh, I think we agreed we're

80
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna do a show on fairy tales, probably like the

81
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: brothers Graham, Hans, Christian Anderson and Chairo, the Three the

82
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Three Biggies. Yeah, and fairy tales in general, because it's

83
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: really interesting. Well, let's make this a two parter, so

84
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: this will be part one and then part two will

85
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: be a fuller explanation of everything we just talked about.

86
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: So um, we don't have to go into it too much.

87
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: But the point is is that many, many years ago,

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: there were such things as oral traditions folk tales, and

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: they were typically passed along by say, women who are

90
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: working at looms or people who put the kids to bed.

91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: And we're passing the time before the fire because there

92
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: weren't tablets you could take to the beach to watch

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Orange is the New Black anywhere, you know, so you

94
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: had to entertain yourself somehow. So adults told each other

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: tales and these form the basis of fairy tales, which

96
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: seems weird to us now because fairy tales you tend

97
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: to associate with kids, but that just wasn't the case before. Yeah,

98
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: and apparently the brothers Grim, Jakop and Wilhelm originally intended

99
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: them for adults. Things weren't selling so well, so they said,

100
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: maybe we should um sanitize these a little bit, lighten

101
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: them up, and see if we can get kids, um

102
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: to read these grizzly morality tales, right, you know, to

103
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: scare them into being you know, straight shooters. Yeah, and

104
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: then Walt Disney came along and he said, you think

105
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: you sanitize things, wait till I put my Disney stink

106
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: on it, because my Disney stink smells like roses. It does.

107
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: There's like glitter and like fairies and it's just all

108
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: very nice. It smells like I was trying to think

109
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: of the best smell I can think of, but um

110
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: per plus smells pretty great. I had a friend who

111
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: used to call the s U a v E shampoo,

112
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: called it swave. It was pretty funny on purpose. Yeah,

113
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: like like that was legitimately what they thought it was. Yeah,

114
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: he really thought that. He like, you know, stay at

115
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: his house, Like, hey, if you need anything that's opened

116
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: on some swave in there. You know, it's hilarious. Yeah,

117
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: you were talking about how Disney sanitized it. Yeah, that's right,

118
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: sanitized things, And um, so we're gonna I don't think

119
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna do all ten, because that's what we do.

120
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: But we're gonna talk about some of the earlier versions

121
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: of um now sanitized classics, because it's kind of fun

122
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: because you see just how far we came by, you know,

123
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: when things became disneyfied Chuck. Um. Should we talk about Binocchio. Yeah,

124
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: that's a good one, which was as far as Disney

125
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: films go, that was maybe the creepiest of all. Yeah,

126
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: because of the stranger danger that wound throughout it, and

127
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: that was part of the original The original thing was like,

128
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: you don't go off as strangers, you don't run away

129
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: with from home. There's plenty of predatory adults who wanted

130
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: to just do all sorts of horrible things with you.

131
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: That's right. So Pinocchio was kidnapped by Stromboli and uh

132
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: basically was threatened with you know, Pinocchio was made of

133
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: wood and said I'm gonna burn you alive. You're gonna

134
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: make a good fire one day if you get too old,

135
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: if you don't stay young, which is also creepy, Yeah

136
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: it is, And Pinocchio was like, oh no. But the

137
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: source story was by Carlo Carlo Collodi in three and

138
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: Carlo Collodi, and so Pinocchio was teased in that version

139
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: by um about his wood head, by Jimny Cricket. Um.

140
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they called him Jimny Cricket in

141
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: that version though, but it was a cricket, yeah, and

142
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: he definitely didn't have a top hat. And seeing when

143
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: you Wish upon a star, that was all Disney. So

144
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Pinocchio gets really upset and there's a hammer and kills

145
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: the cricket with the hammer, and then Pinocchio is hanged

146
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: and killed, tied up, hanged and killed by the fox

147
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: and the cat. Oh I thought, like by the court

148
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: for killing the cricket by his enemies. But he loses

149
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: his temper and as a result, the one of the

150
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: main characters in the story loses his life, and Pinocchio

151
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: is left to be like, what have I done? And

152
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: then he's killed. That's a great children's story, is but

153
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: think about how bizarre that is that at one point

154
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: there was a story that adults told one another about

155
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: a wooden boy, yeah, who they really wanted to stay

156
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: a boy or else they'd burn him alive. And we'll

157
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: get into more like fairy tale analysis and that kind

158
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: of thing in the other episodes just chew on that

159
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: for a little while she won the weird psychosis that

160
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: lies behind that. Alright, uh up, next we have The

161
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: Little Mermaid, which I don't think of course, I'm just guessing,

162
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: but I didn't know there was an original source story

163
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: has Christian And yeah, I had no idea eighteen thirty seven. Um,

164
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: was it actually called the Little Mermaid? I guess it was.

165
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: I think it was. And there's actually a statue of

166
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: the Little Mermaid um in uh Hans Christian Andersen's home

167
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: country Utopia. Yes, in Denmark. Yes he was Danish, right,

168
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: I think Copenhagen Harbor. There's a statue over, but not

169
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: the Disney one. Right, So that is Ariel Obviously we

170
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: all remember and love that movie. Actually I didn't because

171
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: I was a senior in high school at the time,

172
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: so I wasn't into that. I was too busy watching

173
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: uh bat TV on the beach. Um. All right, okay,

174
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: so in the movie we all remember the Ariel um

175
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: makes a deal with Ursula, the sea wit, and she says,

176
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: you know what, you can be human if you'd like,

177
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: just give me that beautiful singing voice of yours. Uh

178
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: And in the real version, that was the which offers

179
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: her a potion in exchange for her tongue when she

180
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: cuts out, yeah, and Ariel says sure first of all,

181
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: which is weird, um, but she says, this will also

182
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: make you feel like a sword has pierced your body forever,

183
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: and you'll be able to dance, but it will feel

184
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: like you're dancing on knives, and it'll feel like there's

185
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: maggots eating at your man. So she takes a deal anyway. Uh,

186
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: all for a dude. Yeah, all for a guy, So

187
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: say what you will about that as well. Um. In

188
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: the original version, eventually these uh I think the sea

189
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: ladies come out of the ocean and say, if you

190
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: kill the prince, they give her a dagger, so you

191
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: can kill this guy and drip that blood on your

192
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: feet and you'll get your mermaid tail back. And she says,

193
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: I can't do it, so she flings herself into the

194
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: ocean and becomes c foam, which is what happens, but

195
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: then she goes the sisters take her into heaven and

196
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: the dude ends up marrying another lady, which she watches

197
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: as she's ascending into heaven. Right, So no blood on

198
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: her feet. Nope, never never killed the Prince Cinderella, Yes,

199
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: not cinder Fella. Nois movie with Dean Martin too, right one.

200
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: I think he might have been fella. Was it the

201
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: same thing? Was it the exact same story? But just

202
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Lewis is pretty much And that's a pretty old story.

203
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: But the Disney version basically has like Cinderella is very

204
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: sweet and beautiful and kind, but she's being basically human,

205
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: trafficked by her own wicked stepmother who makes her do

206
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: everything that her too lazy, ugly inside and out daughters

207
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: don't do. Don't we shouldn't we don't want to do

208
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: that's right, like clean out the senders from the fireplace.

209
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: Hence her name. Is that where that came from? I

210
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: believe so no idea. So the original story was from

211
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: and Shao Um Cinderella or the Little Glass Slipper. And

212
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: as you remember in the original um, she is allowed

213
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: to go to the she's dressed up by the fairy godmother. Yeah,

214
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: very godmother, very great character of a pretty You get

215
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: the ride in this great horse drawn carriage which used

216
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: to be a pumpkin, remember, and it will turn into

217
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: a pumpkin at midnight, so you'll lose all those nice

218
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: clothes in that glass slipper. If you want everyone to

219
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: like you for being wealthy, make sure they don't see

220
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: you after midnight. You have to like the messages these

221
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: are sending. When you really dig into it, it's pretty hard.

222
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk about it in the next episode.

223
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: It's all just one big teaser for everybody. It is

224
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: the fun teaser before the grim ending. So she takes

225
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: off um before midnight. The Prince is like, wait, wait,

226
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: come back, uh please, and she's like no, I gotta god,

227
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: I can't let you see that I'm actually poor and pretty.

228
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: And he's like what, I couldn't hear you. She's likeing

229
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: and she takes off, but she leaves behind her glass slipper,

230
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: And in this glass slipper that fits her perfectly is

231
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: what the Prince decides to use to identify this mystery woman.

232
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: So he starts looking throughout the kingdom. Correct and in

233
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: the original version, which I said by p Oh, it's

234
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: actually pretty much like that, but in eighteen twelve, And

235
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: that's the thing with fairy tales, they're rewritten a lot

236
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: throughout the ages by different folks with different versions, And

237
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: in eighteen twelve the grand brothers had a version called Um,

238
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: which I don't even know what that means. I don't

239
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: either Osten. Maybe it's the same thing Cinder and Aston.

240
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know the pootel what is that? I

241
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: have no idea, Okay, but anyway, So the evil stepmother

242
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: in this version Um says to her stepdaughters. To the

243
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: oldest one, she's like, here's what you do. I know

244
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: that shoe won't fit on the around your big hammer toe.

245
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: So here's a knife. Cut that thing off and the

246
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: shoe will fit. And she does it. She cuts off

247
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: her toe, puts on the slipper, and the Prince was like,

248
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: this is great until these pigeons, magic pigeons come along

249
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: and say, hey, Prince, check that toe out. It's bleeding

250
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: through the glass slipper. Like her shoe is filled with blood.

251
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: She's like Rome and Michelle's high school reunion all of

252
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: a sudden. So the Prince is like, you get away

253
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: from me, impost and sends the eldest daughter, the eldest

254
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: stepsister away. The youngest one tries the same thing, except

255
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: she cuts off part of her heel which seems to

256
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: me exponentially more painful than cutting off your own toe. Yeah,

257
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: same bit. Apparently, Charles Parrault was like, I can't come

258
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: up with anything else, We'll just go with the same thing.

259
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: The two pigeons point out the bloody shoe and the

260
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: the the younger sister goes away, and then finally, somehow

261
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: Cinderella ends up in the in the with the shoe on, right, yeah,

262
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: and he says, I found you. We're gonna go get married,

263
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: And in an act of good favor, she invites the

264
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: step sisters to the wedding because she was such a

265
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: nice person, probably to rub salt in the wounds. Well, yes,

266
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: and also because um, she knew that her pigeon friends

267
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: were going to pluck their eyes out, which they did, yep,

268
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: one at a time. They pluck out one eye each,

269
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: and then they come back and finish the job pluck

270
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: out the other eyes. So here's the thing. We were

271
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: raised with this kind of stuff, right, Like, I mean,

272
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the Disney version of all these things,

273
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: but I also had like a fair idea that there

274
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: was a weird, darker um foundation to these stories before. Right, Um,

275
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: imagine not having ever been exposed to this kind of thing.

276
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: Think about how bizarre some of the twists and turns

277
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: that take place in these stories. Are talking pigeons end

278
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: up plucking out the sister's eyes after exposing them here,

279
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: Like that's just a weird extra twist, you know. Yeah,

280
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: like if the aliens came down, right, they're like, this

281
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: is what we read our children on earth? Why does wrong?

282
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's take a little break here. Oh yeah,

283
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: we forgot to do this, and we'll come back and

284
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: talk about a little someone with a red writing something.

285
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I don't think I might know who you mean,

286
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: all right, A little red riding Hood. That's who I

287
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: was talking about. Everybody, it's not going to guess that.

288
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: So let's recap the real story here, which is, uh,

289
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: everyone knows this one as well. I'm assuming little Red

290
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: riding Hood is traveling through the woods to deliver her

291
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: food to her dying grandmother, and she meets the hungry wolf. Yeah,

292
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: she's bringing butter. A pot of butter? Is that what

293
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: it was? According to Charles Parral delicious. So the wolf says,

294
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: I like to think way in advance and make grand schemes.

295
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: So I'm going to tell you, little girl who would

296
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: like to eat, to stay here and pick some flowers.

297
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: Grandma would love some flowers that she's dying. Yes, so, um,

298
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: and by the way, where's grandma live? And riding Hood

299
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: while she starts picking flowers, like, oh, down the way

300
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: and take a left at the the old oak tree,

301
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: and then, um, don't make eye contact with the talking pigeons.

302
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: That's right, right, and you'll find grandma's house. So the

303
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: wolf takes off while Little Red Riding Hood just picking

304
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: her flowers. Unbeknownst to her, the wolf has gone and

305
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: is now eating her grandmother to death. Yeah, and then,

306
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: like Norman Bates style, dresses up in her clothing, sits

307
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: with his back to her in a rock chair and

308
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: lays and wait, which you would think that's dark enough. Yeah,

309
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: that's pretty dark. Just eating grandmother is bad enough. Right.

310
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: In the Grim version, it was called Little Red cap Um,

311
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: which doesn't have the same ring. Now, Little Red riding

312
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: Hood beautiful just rolls off the Little Red cap No,

313
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: this kind of ends right there, you know. So a

314
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: Little Red Riding Hood is is actually eaten by the

315
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: wolf in their version. And then a because she comes

316
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: in the world stressed as the grandmother and they have

317
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: a little exchange and she ends up getting in exchange,

318
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: and so he eats her dead, or we think she's dead.

319
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: A woodsman comes along and it cuts the wolf open

320
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: with uh, well, there's different versions. Shears are an axe

321
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: and the woman, the grandmother and little Red Riding Hood

322
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: come out and as if you think that's the end, no, no, no,

323
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: let's fill the wolf with rocks. And the version and

324
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: the grim version, the wolf gets up, tries to go away,

325
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: but he has weighted down by the rocks inside of

326
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: his body and collapses and dies. So it's a good ending,

327
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: yeah it is. That's the grim version. In the Charles

328
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 1: Parult version, he ended his with the moral of the

329
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: story kind of thing um. In the moral his story

330
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: was do not get in bed with a sexual predator.

331
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: Because then his story, Little Red Riding hood Um comes

332
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: to grandmother's house and she suspects that something is a

333
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: miss um, but she still takes off her clothes and

334
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: gets into bed with grandmother when she's invited to by

335
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: this wolf dressed as grandmother, and she says, what big

336
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: arms you have, what big legs you have? What big

337
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: years you have, and the wolf has a smooth answer

338
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: for everything. You know what I'm saying, uh, and then

339
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: ends up eating her just she dies. She's eaten to

340
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: death by a wolf, and that's the end of the story.

341
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: And then the moral is his little girls should not um,

342
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: should not expose themselves you predation by sexual predators. Basically,

343
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: it's not exactly how Pearl put it, but essentially that's

344
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Well, here's a direct quote from parole

345
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: or p oh, excuse me, um. From this story, one

346
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: learns that children, especially young lasses, pretty courteous and well bred,

347
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: do very wrong to listen to strangers, and it is

348
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: not an unheard thing if the wolf is thereby provided

349
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: with his dinner. I say wolf, For all wolves are

350
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 1: not of the same sort. There is one kind with

351
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: an amenable disposition, neither noisy nor hateful nor angry, but

352
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: tam obliging and gentle, following the young maids in the

353
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: streets even into their homes. Alas who does not know

354
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: that these gentle wolves are all such creatures the most dangerous.

355
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: So you're basically saying like they're all gross and dirty

356
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: and preying on you. Yeah, which I mean, hats off

357
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: to him for performing that public service. But where's the

358
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: fairy tale that says sexual predators do not predict. I

359
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: don't think they read uh stories, for they were once

360
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: young children, young boys who could have been raised on

361
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. That's a good point, you know.

362
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: I tip my little red cap to you. Thank you.

363
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: Uh oh, this is a good one. Hansel and Gretel, Yeah,

364
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: I grew up next to um an older couple who

365
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: had a dog named Gretel Schnauser. So cute, sweet dog.

366
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: So this one starts out with an evil step mom

367
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: married to a dad of the father of Hansel and Gretel,

368
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: and she's like, you guys eat way too much food

369
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: and your dad and iron uh, danger of going hungry.

370
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take a long walk in the woods

371
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: and only two of us are coming back, so the kids.

372
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: She does this twice because the kids are smart enough

373
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: on the first go around to leave a trail of

374
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: pebbles in the woods. So I thought it was breadcrumbs.

375
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: That's part two. The first they leave the pebbles, they

376
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: come back and she's like, son of all right, we're

377
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna do this again, and you're not taking any pebbles.

378
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: She walks about into the woods again. They leave breadcrumbs,

379
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: which are famously eaten, and so they are now stranded

380
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: in the woods. Find the pigeons, the talking pigeons, probably so,

381
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: so the plan has worked. From the evil step monster. Uh,

382
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: They then encounter the bloodthirsty witch, who basically is like,

383
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: look at this sweet gingerbread house. Why don't you come

384
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: on in here, because I know you little piglets like

385
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: to eat. Yeah, and they do. They go in, Yeah,

386
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: they go in, and I mean a house made of gingerbread,

387
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: Like that's that's a great device right there, you know,

388
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, who wouldn't want to just come into that

389
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: house and see what's inside? If the house is made

390
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: of gingerbread, what the heck is the microwave made of

391
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 1: There might be charcuterie inside. Sure, so um. Once inside,

392
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: they're trapped because this is the house of an old

393
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: witch who seems like a kindly old lady. As they're

394
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: going in, then once the door shuts, there in trouble. Right. Yeah,

395
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Gretel is basically enslaved. Hansel is locked in a cage

396
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: and fattened up like a goose so she can eat. Yeah,

397
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: And then At some point, the witch says, what the heck,

398
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: I'll eat you both. Uh, And this gives Gretel the

399
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: chance to get a drop on the witch. Yeah, which

400
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: is pretty funny to me. The witch is basically like, hey, Gretel,

401
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: why don't you go and look in that oven, let

402
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: me know if it's hot enough. And she's blind and

403
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: the witches and Gretel's like, I don't know what you mean.

404
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: Why don't you show me what you mean? Right? And

405
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: the witch says, okay, you stupid girl, let me show

406
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: you exactly. So she shuffles over and she's like, you

407
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: stick your head in like this engage the right because

408
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: Gretel went and pushed her in by the rump and

409
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: the witches burned alive to death. Yes, And then Hansel

410
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: and Gretel make their way back home and the stepmother

411
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: is dead. But in the alternate version, uh, Gretel is like, wow, Hansel,

412
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: you do look pretty good and eats him alive. Oh really.

413
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: Well what gets me is they go back home, stepmother's dead.

414
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: They don't explain how she died, and I wonder if

415
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: the dad was just like, so, uh sorry about Mary

416
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: and that lady who tried to kill you twice start

417
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: diggingy holes in the backyard. Should we take a break?

418
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I think we should. All right, we'll take

419
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: another quick break and we'll come back with some of

420
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: my favorites. Welcome back to story time with Chuck and Josh. Yes,

421
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: adult story time. Yeah, because if your kids are listening this,

422
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: you're a monster yourself. Um rumpelstilt skin. This one really

423
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: creeped me out when I was a kid because it

424
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: featured a uh an imp, like a a creepy, beastly

425
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: imp who not only that, had like um, a lack

426
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: of control over his emotions. He was prone to emotional

427
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: output and he was like unstable, which even even more scary.

428
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: You know. So this one starts out there's a miller

429
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: who tells the king that, um, you know, my daughter

430
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: can spend straw into gold. You ought to see this

431
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: girl go. He's totally full of it. Though, totally full

432
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: of it. I don't know what. I'm sure he was

433
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: expecting to get away with it. I don't know how.

434
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: Who knows, because he's just gonna like hit the king

435
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: over the head with something when he came to look

436
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: and then marry him while he was unconscious. So the

437
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: King says, great, she's cute. Let's trap her in the

438
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: castle and lock her in a room with a bunch

439
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: of straw spinning into gold, lady, and I'll marry you. Yeah.

440
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: And she's like. She gets in there and she's like,

441
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: I have no idea how to spend anything into gold. Uh.

442
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: And this little imp rumple stilt skin climbs up says

443
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: I can actually do that, and if you give me

444
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: some jewelry, I'll spend that junk into gold. Uh. He does.

445
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: So the King is like, this is sweet. Let me

446
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: lock you in a bigger room with more straw. Rumple

447
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: still skin comes back, spends all that into gold for

448
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: more jewelry, comes back a third time because now she's hooked. Yeah,

449
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: she's hooked. And she's like, I don't have any more jewelry,

450
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: Like what are we gonna do here? And what he says,

451
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: I got an idea. I got an idea. I've always

452
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: wanted to own a human child. So you go ahead

453
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: and start spinning and I'll make sure this gets uh

454
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: turned into gold, and then you can marry the king.

455
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: And when you guys have a kid, you just give

456
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: it to me. And she's like, what are you gonna

457
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: do with the kid, and he's like, don't worry about

458
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: don't worry about that at all. It'll be fine. Um.

459
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: So she says that sounds like a good idea. I

460
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: can get the gold now, but pay later, and he says, yes,

461
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: if you want to look at it like that, that's fine,

462
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: and she says, let's do it. So they they end

463
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: up colluding this last time. The king marries her and

464
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: years passed, and then the woman has a child and

465
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: one day Rumpel still a child she came to love

466
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: despite knowing that there was a bounty on the child's head. Yeah,

467
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: and it was conceived under duress. Let's just say, okay, um,

468
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: but she loved the child and Rumpel stillt skin comes

469
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: a calling, yeah, and he says, hey, remember me, and

470
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: she's like, how could I forget? He said, I'm back

471
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: to claim my bounty. Give me that kid. I've got

472
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: lots of neat things planned and she says, I'd kind

473
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: of like to keep my kid, actually, and he's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, okay.

474
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: I love funning games. So how about this. I have

475
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: a really weird name that you've never heard before. I've

476
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: never told you. If you can guess my super weird,

477
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: one of a kind name, we'll just call the whole

478
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: thing off. Yeah, I'll give you three days even and uh,

479
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 1: she gets the name. She does. She overhears him, right,

480
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: She sneaks around and overhears him in his own layer.

481
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I think that's how it is. Okay,

482
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: so she but she guesses his name correctly, and he

483
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: does not like that at all. By the way, in

484
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: the early eighties, Harve vachas Tattoo from Fantasy Island played

485
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: Rumpo Stiltskin in a TV version of this. Yeah, so

486
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: this outburst must have been particularly upsetting because you love Tattoo,

487
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: so you don't want to see Tattoo playing Rumpo Stiltskin

488
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: having this outburst where he's just lost his human child

489
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: that's been promised to him for years because this lady

490
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: managed to guess his name. And he goes the devil

491
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: told you that, and he stops his foot and he

492
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: stops it so hard it goes right into the earth

493
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: and gets stuck there like up to his waist. Yeah,

494
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: and he gets really angry about that and says, let

495
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: me get my leg out of here and he tears

496
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: his body into two pieces and the ladies off the hook. Yeah,

497
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: in the eighteen twelve version, he just runs away, and

498
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: they actually went back in eighteen fifty seven to allow

499
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: him to tear his body in half. It's a weird

500
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: way to die, I agreed. Who has that that kind

501
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: of upper body strength? Well, I guess so. And there's

502
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: a new TV show out too. I don't know if

503
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: it's still out that had a lot of these characters,

504
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: like Once upon a Time or something. Yeah, yeah, I

505
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, I didn't watch it, though, I think

506
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: it's still around. What is it? I think? So? What's

507
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: his face? Robert Carlyle's in it from Trainspotting. Love that guy? Yeah,

508
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: he's good. Uh, all right, let's skip that one because

509
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: that one. Just what about snow White? You want to

510
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: do that one? Yes, snow White. So snow White was

511
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: the one that changed everything. That was Disney's first animated

512
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: full length feature, and apparently everybody, including his wife, said,

513
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: do not do this. This is not the way to

514
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: try to make your name, and he said, no, I'm

515
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna do it. He borrowed one and a half million

516
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: dollars at the time to make this movie, and it

517
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: turned out that everybody loved it. Obviously, it's apparently the

518
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: tenth highest grossing film of all time adjusted for inflation. Wow, still,

519
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Yeah. So snow White was the one that

520
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: everybody thinks of when you think of a fairy tale

521
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: becoming sanitized or disneyfied, you know. Yeah, because in the

522
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: Grim version there was there was a heart in a

523
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: box that the evil was the evil the evil witch,

524
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: the evil witch, the the one who is jealous of

525
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: snow White's beauty. She wanted her heart in a box. Yes,

526
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: that actually made it into the Disney version. Yeah, that

527
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: was a sanitized version right in the in the full

528
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: Grim version, she wanted to eat the liver and lungs

529
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: of snow White as a matter of fact, which is

530
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: a little freaky. Um. So the the the sanitized Disney

531
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: version wasn't quite fully sanitized compared to the other one,

532
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: but a little. They cut out the cannibalism. Yeah. And

533
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: in the Grim version, snow White at her wedding, the

534
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: evil stepmother, um gets involved there and the guest heat

535
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: a pair of iron shoes on burning coles four. Snow

536
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: White into these shoes to dance until she dies yep,

537
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: from wearing I guess. I guess her feet are burned

538
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: off or something. She just danced herself to death. She's

539
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: a dance dance, dance, dance, dancing machine. And got a

540
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: couple of more here. Rapunzel. Yeah, overtly sexual, overtly sexual.

541
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: And I just realized while researching this that the Beastie Boys, Uh,

542
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: we're clearly literature fans from the what Comes Around song Rapunzel, Rapunzel,

543
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: let down your hair, or I will climb up and

544
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: get into your underwear. That's the Beastie Boys line. And

545
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: I remember it. When I heard that line, I was like, well,

546
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: that's childish, but that's actually exactly what happens in the

547
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: original version, add rock, that was pretty childish. Yeah, is

548
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: that what you thought? I did not like your usual,

549
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, collegiate, high minded stuff. Uh. It's the Disney's

550
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: movie Tangled, is the Rapunzel version that's been super sanitized. Uh.

551
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: And it's about a young girl whose hair has miraculous

552
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: properties that make you not age. So obviously there's gonna

553
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: be some evil lady that wants the hair who happens

554
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: to be a which builds a tower to house Rapunzel. Unfortunately,

555
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: she doesn't think to make the tower taller than Rapunzel's

556
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: hair is long. Error. Rapunzel has a suitor, a prince.

557
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: I believe it's got to be a prince. I didn't

558
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: even have to look down. Yes, it's I'm sure it's

559
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: a prince. Always needed a prince to save the damsel, right,

560
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about in the next episode. Um. But

561
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: she liked to let her hair down and let the

562
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: guy climb up her hair every night after the Which

563
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: went to sleep, and they would get it on in

564
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: the tower where she was locked up. And they did

565
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: this a lot. And apparently one day she was very

566
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: young and nine eve otherwise UM, and she said to

567
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: the Which, my clothes grow tight. And the witch is

568
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: like what that means? Figured out what was going on.

569
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: UM banished Rapunzel to the desert and said, be gone

570
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: with you. And Uh. The prince comes back one day

571
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: and tries to I guess he gets into the tower somehow.

572
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: He climbs up in the tower and he is confronted

573
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: not by Rapunzel, his lover, but by the witch. By

574
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: the wicked witch who's like, I know what you did, Yes,

575
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: and there are a couple of versions. He either leaps

576
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: from the tower or she pushes him from the tower,

577
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: and in both versions he his eyes are gouged out

578
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: by the thorns below and he's blinded right, but he's

579
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: still very much in love. He wanders the earth, blind

580
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: and homeless from that point on until he, by chance

581
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: encounters Rapunzel, who's living as a single mom raising their

582
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: kids twins on her own, apparently in a desert like town,

583
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: maybe somewhere in Nevada or Arizona. Barstow. Okay, so she Zimbarstow,

584
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: raising their twins as a single mom, and he, a

585
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: homeless blind man, encounters her, and apparently it's just like

586
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: when Ralphie comes back home in a Christmas story. Um,

587
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: she starts crying at the sight of him, uh, and

588
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: her tears heal him. Heal his sight. Now that he

589
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: has sight, apparently he's immediately got a home again. So

590
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: they make their way back to his kingdom and get

591
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: married and live happily ever after, which is very rare

592
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: if you haven't caught on by this point in time. Yeah,

593
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: that is a really rare story. And it's sweet too,

594
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: because you know, the love goes beyond there that immediate

595
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: once once the sex drives up, it seems like another another.

596
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: Yeah that that the dude is just like whatever, I'm fine.

597
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: This guy in one version jumps out of the tower

598
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: to kill himself and is blinded and wanders the earth.

599
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: That's sweet. Once the sex drives up. Um, all right,

600
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: let's finish it off with the worst of them all,

601
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: because it's straight up is rape. Yeah, you know, there's

602
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: no dancing around what happens in Sleeping Beauty. It's like

603
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: killed Bill. What do you mean at the beginning of

604
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: Kill Bill? Oh? Sure remember? Yeah? Uh so in the

605
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: Disney version in nine, of course you remember, there was

606
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: a young princess and a sorceress, uh dooms her and

607
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: cast a spell on her and says you're gonna die

608
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: at sixteen, which is uh even in our time, pretty young.

609
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: Did you understand why? No, probably jealousy, Yeah, she's probably ugly.

610
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: In Sleeping Beauty was a beauty. Uh So she says,

611
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: you know what, You're gonna prick yourself on a spindle

612
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: and you're gonna die. That is the spell. Uh. It

613
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: can only be undone by a good fairy. Of course,

614
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: the good fairy comes along says you can get out

615
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: of the slumber if a prince your true love awakens

616
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: you with a kiss. Pretty innocuous, right, sure, I mean

617
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: why not? Why not just just let's make it interesting?

618
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Is what the what the which said? That's right? But

619
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: there's an earlier version in the fourteenth century from France.

620
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't have no idea how to pronounce that paras forest, okay.

621
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: And in this version, the prince returns, finds the woman, uh,

622
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: laying in bed, naked and unconscious, and he rapes her. Yeah.

623
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: He's like, I can't help myself, and I'm a prince,

624
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: so no rules apply to me. Pretty much. So she

625
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: becomes pregnant, um has a kid still while asleep, she

626
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: doesn't wake up from this. She gets raped, she has

627
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: gets pregnant, has a baby. Um her her little baby

628
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: bites on her finger, thinking he's breastfeeding, and causes the spindle,

629
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: the chip from the spindle to fall out of her hand.

630
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, her finger where she picked it. Yeah,

631
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: and saves her. So all anybody had to do was

632
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: remove the the what's it called him? The flax chip? Now?

633
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: What is it call? When a piece of wood gets

634
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: into your fingers. Splinter. She had a splinter. All anybody

635
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: had to do was remove it, and she would have

636
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: been fine pretty much. Luckily her kid was a dumb

637
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: dumb and didn't know a breast from her finger. That's right.

638
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: Then there's another version called The Sun, the Moon and

639
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: Talia from the six thirty four by uh gim Batista Basil.

640
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: And in this version, it's a king who actually rapes

641
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: the maiden. She has twins, and the queen finds out

642
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: and she says, you know what, come here, cook, take

643
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: this lady, take her kids, cook him, kill him, cook

644
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: him and feed him to the king. And he says

645
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: all right, But then he goes off. He's like, I

646
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: just can't do that. What am I some kind of sick? Oh?

647
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: I'll just kill a baby lamb and stead and he

648
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: feeds them lamb. So yeah, if you were a cook

649
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: or a huntsman or a woodsman during this era, you

650
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: like part of your job was murder, Like you were

651
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: expected to murder innocence at the at the whim of

652
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: the people in charge. I'm just cutting down some trees.

653
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: Do you need me to kill someone? Right? I got

654
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: an X you want me to put someone's heart in

655
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: a box. All right, Well that was it. Um, be

00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: And since I said wonderful, it's time for a listener mail.

666
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this we inspired someone to go back

667
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 1: to college? How about that? Hey, guys, my name is Maria.

668
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 1: I'm from LAKEWD, Ohio suburb of Cleveland. I've been listening

669
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 1: for a few years, and oh I'm sorry for years.

670
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: And as soon as I heard you were coming to Pittsburgh,

671
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: I flipped out and called my mother immediately. She's also

672
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: a huge fan. Her name is Joanne. Please give her

673
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: a shout out. So they came to Pittsburgh and they

674
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 1: were in the audience. So, however, the reason I'm writing

675
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: is way more important than that. You guys were my

676
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: inspiration to go back to college. After listening to how

677
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: sign language works, I signed up for classes about a

678
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: week later. By the first day, I was in love

679
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: not just with the language, but also with school. I'd

680
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: forgotten how much I love to learn and be challenged,

681
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: And at the start of fall semester next year, I'll

682
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: be returning to school full time and it could not

683
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: be happier. Uh. In the words of my best friend's dad,

684
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 1: you belong there. How about that? Also in your episode,

685
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: you mentioned three sentence structures for sign language, um I employee,

686
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: employee I, or I employee I, and you were curious

687
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: about the last struck Sure, and the purpose is for clarification.

688
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: With the different structures long sentences or sentences like I love,

689
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: you can get super confusing, uh, she said, or sentences

690
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: it's clearly not a long sentence. It's hard to tell

691
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: who was giving and who was receiving the love. By

692
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: adding the second eye, you're clarifying who is performing the verb.

693
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: So thanks again for being my entertainment and my inspiration.

694
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: Keep on doing what you do. You never know whose

695
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: life you won't influence. Next, that is from Marie Rasmussen.

696
