1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: Cool Zone Media. Hello, and welcome to cool Zone Media 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: book Club, which I was supposed to introduce differently. I 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: was supposed to chant book club at you, but there's 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: no way for me to change that now because instead 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: I introduced it this way. I'm your host, Margaret Kiljoy, 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 1: and this is the podcast where you don't have to 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: do the reading for your book club, because I do 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: it for you. And what you're reading in your book 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: club right now are missives from the future. That's right. 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: Cool Zone Media itself has reached back out from thirty 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: years in the future to bring us reports on the 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: Dino War. Here's where we're at. Hello, and welcome to 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: Cool Zone twenty fifty five. How to Survive the dinoh Wars. 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm your host, Margaret Kiljoy, and today we are continuing 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: our report from our very own Mixed Bunny Face Murder, 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: who is currently trapped behind enemy lines in besieged Catalonia. 17 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: We're all praying for you, Mixed Bunny Face Murder, or 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: you know, fighting for you, which is generally even better 19 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: than praying, although I guess I'm podcasting for you, which 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: is probably somewhere in the middle of those two in 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: terms of efficacy. Actually it's closer to praying, because it's 22 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: really just kind of hoping someone else intervenes. Well, there 23 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,279 Speaker 1: goes my moral high ground. Anyway, where we last left 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: our stalwart non binary, horny journalist, they'd shown up in 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: Catalonia just before the Vishnu shields went up. They saw 26 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: the exodus of Barcelona, where everyone who relied on electricity 27 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: for their anti fascist work or their you know, being 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: alive was rescued by boat over to Italy. Then mixed 29 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: bunny face Murder went off to the front, embedded with 30 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: the notorious thag hags the Stegosaurus riders, but noticing those 31 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: undeniably sexy dreadnought out of the corner of their eye. 32 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: But before we talk about that, I want to talk 33 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: about something else that is undeniably sexy riding dinosaurs into 34 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: battle against the worldwide threat of fascism, which you can 35 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: learn to do by contacting our number one sponsor, Dino Cadence. 36 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,839 Speaker 1: That's right, Dino Cadence. You don't even have to put 37 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: your money where your mouth is with Dino Cadence because 38 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: all of their classes are one hundred percent free, one 39 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: hundred percent free. The revolution needs us all, it needs soldier. 40 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: Sure it also needs dental technicians. Chewing up fascists is 41 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: hard on a dino's teeth. In the old days, we 42 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: used to say behind every frontline soldier is ten support troops, 43 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: but in the age of the Dino War, that ratio 44 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: is more like fifty to one. So to learn how 45 00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: to help in whatever capacity, contact Dino Cadence today. Now 46 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: back to mix Bunny Face murders story. A dino camp 47 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: is a strange place to be. It turns out. I 48 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: can't give you too many details because the art of 49 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: war is the art of deception. But I can tell 50 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: you that it feels like living in a zoo. It's 51 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: funny how quickly you get used to de extincted animals. 52 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: Being around stegosauruses and velociraptors doesn't feel entirely unlike being 53 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: around rhinoceroses and chickens, especially since both stegosaurus and rhinoceros 54 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: are more or less impossible to spell, and there's not 55 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: really chickens and zoos. But let's imagine, so you feel 56 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: like you're in a zoo, only instead of tigers and bears, 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: it's sabertoothed tigers and arctoduses, so tigers and bears just 58 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: bigger and too fier. I have to admit I have 59 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: long had my doubts about the efficacy of our animal 60 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: friends in war before. Why do we resurrect long extinct 61 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: animals only to throw them in front of enemy fire? 62 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: Is there a reason? Besides it looks cool to ride 63 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: an up armored ancliosaurus. Why not just use dumb dumb 64 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: tanks and machine guns and humans, all of which also 65 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: operate all right under vishnu conditions. It's been a nagging 66 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: question at the back of the mind of probably a 67 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: solid third of the anti fascist world. No one wants 68 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: to question it too openly because no one wants to 69 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: pick fights right now with anyone who isn't a fascist, 70 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: and we all know morale is a terrain of struggle. 71 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: But look, I've had my doubts about the efficacy and 72 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: also the ethics of using dinosaurs in war. I no 73 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: longer do dinosaurs are effective in modern non electric warfare. 74 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: They saved our lives at this camp in fact. And 75 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: as for the ethics, it's a messier question. But the 76 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: thing is, it's not really ethical to send anyone into 77 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: war yet war is here, whether we wish it was 78 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: or not. If we are to stop the destruction of 79 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: the last remaining ecosystems and the animals in those ecosystems, 80 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: then all of us need to fight together, human and 81 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: animal alike. Are there power dynamic problems absolutely the same 82 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: as there are between different humans in a war. We 83 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: just do the best we can. Maybe that's enough, maybe 84 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: it's not. On the journey out to the front, I 85 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with a particular unit of 86 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: thag Hags, Like every little micro click in this war. 87 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: They've got their own name, the Sons of Aragorn. It's 88 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: five men, three of whom are trans and one of 89 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: whom is an Omni man. Look, I struggle to keep 90 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: up with all the new genders, but as I understand it, 91 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: it's a way of identifying as not a man in 92 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: the modern sense, but instead the medieval of when you're 93 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: comparing man to beast. It sounds problematic to me, but 94 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm in my thirties, so what do I know. The 95 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: Sons of Aragorn are obviously named after Aragorn from Lord 96 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: of the Rings, but they're also named in a different tradition. 97 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: There was this indigenous North American anarchist who was most 98 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: active in the nineteen nineties and the twenty oughts, named Aragorn, 99 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: whose parents had named him that in everything because his 100 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: parents were hippies. He was a contentious fellow. He made 101 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: a lot of frenemies, but he laid a lot of 102 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: the groundwork for some anarchist political theory that has meant 103 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot to a lot of people in the years 104 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: since his passing. He died in the year twenty twenty, 105 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: and in the twenty forties, his particular brand of cantankerous 106 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: anti fascism found a new following. The Sons of Aragorn 107 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: started off as a motorcycle club actually in the US. 108 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: Most of its members expatriated to Catalonia during the independent 109 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: struggles there, but the names stuck in English, even though 110 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: they mostly speak Catalan in the unit. Now, I wound 111 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: up friends with these Sons of Aragorn, and I'll have 112 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: you know I didn't even do it because I was 113 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: trying to sleep with any of them. But in the 114 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: end I slept with all of them. And you can 115 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: listen to more details about that in the full uncensored 116 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: version of this report over on Under the Pants and 117 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: Under the Ground A stegosaurus unit usually has seven members, 118 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: five humans and two stegosauruses. Riding a stegosaurus is a 119 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: particular skill. They are often considered the hardest ground based 120 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: dinosaur to ride, because you have to ride lying flat, 121 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: hidden between the armored plates. It's like bull riding. People say, 122 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: but I've never ridden a bull, and I've never ridden 123 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: a stegosaurus. Though I have written a stegosaurus rider, but 124 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: I can't tell you about that because family friendly podcast, 125 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: as if telling you about the horrors of war is 126 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: better for young listeners than telling them about some of 127 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: the most fun you can have before you die and 128 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: the aforementioned hours of war. But you know what else 129 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: is apparently family friendly advertising, just in the middle of 130 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: telling you a serious story, just cutting away to things 131 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: that require critical thinking in order to reject that's somehow 132 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: family friendly. What a good system. This podcast is brought 133 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: to you by the Tourist Bureau of Toledo. No, not 134 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: the one in Spain you'd normally imagine as a tourist attraction. 135 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: That one is overrun by Nazis. You might have heard 136 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: that Toledo, Ohio is overrun by Nazis too, But we 137 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: are delighted to tell you that since December twenty fifty four, Toledo, 138 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: Ohio has been ninety eight percent Nazi free. That's right, 139 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: ninety eight percent Nazi free. So come on down to Toledo, 140 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: where the slogan is. We have most of the stuff 141 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: that every major city has, like a zoo and some 142 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: parks and restaurants. While Solito's claim of being ninety eight 143 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: percent Nazi free has been independently verified, Ohio is considered 144 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: by the International Travel Advisory Board to be a frontline 145 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: region in the international War against fascism. Visitors and migrants 146 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: are advised to remain armed and be prepared to chip 147 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: in in case of invasion. Of course, nowhere on Earth 148 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: is truly a haven, and it will take all of 149 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,359 Speaker 1: us working together to defeat the nationalist threat. This podcast 150 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: is proudly sponsored by the Council for the Protection of 151 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: Bats and Rural Anti Fascists. We like bats, and so 152 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: should you be nice to bats. We like rural anti fascists, 153 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: and so should you be nice to rural anti fascists. 154 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: Turning off the outside lights helps reduce light pollution, which 155 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: helps bats and reduces your risk of being targeted by 156 00:09:48,559 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: mortar fire by fascists, which helps rural anti fascists. Most 157 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: rideable dinosaurs fill a niche somewhere like cavalry and pre 158 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: modern warfare. They're big, scary mounts dinosaurs, but at the 159 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: end of the day, they're conveyances for armed riders. It's 160 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: the riders who do most of the fighting, not so 161 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: for stegosaurus riders. Each dino is equipped with a deadly 162 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: phagamizer on the end of its tail, making them just 163 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: about the deadliest of the quadrupeds in this war. Since 164 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: they are both fast and stable, they are excellent at 165 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: countering zombie hordes, so the rider's job basically still hold 166 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: on and direct where the thing goes. The other three 167 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: members of the unit are support. You generally have a 168 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: designated sharpshooter, a combat ternarian, and a scout, any of 169 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: whom are prepared to serve as backup riders should it 170 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: become necessary. Because they work and fight as a unit, 171 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: kill counts are measured collectively across the entire unit. The 172 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: Sons of Aragorn are currently in second place among the 173 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: thag Hags with seventy nine confirmed zombie kills, six confirmed 174 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: human kills, and two confirmed unclassifiable biospawn kills. The latter 175 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: were two pseudo giants that they took out in what 176 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: gets called the Battle of Vallenore because the unit with 177 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: the highest kill count gets to name the battle after 178 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: it's one. In all that fighting, they've lost one human 179 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: private Gimli, and one stegosaurus, Firefoot, which is also apparently 180 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: a Lord of the Rings reference. They promised me that 181 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: Firefoot was a horse and Lord of the Rings that 182 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: carried some horse rider guy. They explained it to me 183 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: like six times. But you know, Lord of the Rings fans, 184 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: nothing they say makes sense. The only fag Hag unit 185 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: with more kills than the Sons of Aragorn is the 186 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: Eldian Wall, who are at ninety four zombies, thirteen humans, 187 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: and one unclassifiable biospawn. They're a larger unit, though, of 188 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: seven humans and four stegosauruses, so it's not really fair 189 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: to compare them directly. Or maybe I'm just bitter because 190 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: the Eldian Wall is so famously cliquish that they only 191 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: speak Elvish with each other, which doesn't even make sense 192 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: because their name is a reference to an anime and 193 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: not Lord of the Rings, and they only speak a 194 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: dialect that they develop themselves, so even if you learn Elvish, 195 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: you can't talk to the Eldian Wall. They don't hang 196 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: out with anyone. And yes I'm bitter because I think 197 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: they're Veterinarian is very cute, but none of them will 198 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: be friends with me. So I'd fallen in with the 199 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: sons of Aragorn and they had watch duty. The first night. 200 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: I was there alongside one of the mother Hens. So 201 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there kind of bored because you're not 202 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: allowed to talk much while you're on watch. In the 203 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: chair next to me, this older transwoman named Marta, one 204 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: of the aforementioned mother Hens, idly scanned the horizon with 205 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: a night vision monocular while seventeen little velociraptors played at 206 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: her feet. Nearby, my friend Aeomer the omni Man is 207 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: leaning against a stegosaurus named Guillermo the Pony. It's a 208 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: hot night, which probably goes without saying because it's the 209 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: twenty fifties and I'm on the Iberian Peninsula. I'm trying 210 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: to read The Fellowship of the Ring in Catalan to 211 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: impress my friends, but it just isn't doing it for me. 212 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: I couldn't get through it in English either. Then Giermo 213 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: hears something lifting its head suddenly and alert Stegosaurus's remarkably 214 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: sharp ears What your elf ears hear? Eomer whispers to 215 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: his dino friend. Guillermo points with his nose off towards 216 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: the horizon. Aomer signals to Marta, who stands up in 217 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: gestures at her terror chicken children. She makes a circle gesture, 218 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: then points in the direction Guillermo is looking. The velociraptors 219 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: take off quietly, running full tilt towards the horizon, disappearing 220 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: over a nearby hill. I hear a scream, a human scream, 221 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: which is cut off short. A few minutes later, the 222 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: murdered chickens return, dragging two men behind them. No, not men, Nazis. 223 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: I say that, not to dehumanize them. Nazis are verifiably human. 224 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: I actually recommend verifying this yourself. You can cut them 225 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: up and count their organs. I say that they are 226 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: not men, that they are Nazis, to deny them their masculinity. 227 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: What is a man? Discourse seems to switch around like 228 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: every three years, But I am with the feminist masculinist 229 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: thinker Ambrose gutfish and what he said in twenty forty 230 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: seven during a speech at the Conference for the Reclmative 231 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: Abolition of Human Gender in Amsterdam, he said, quote, what 232 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: is a man? If we refuse to accept that there's 233 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: a good gender and a bad, then we are forced 234 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: to reckon with the idea of positive masculinity. It's hard 235 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: to do because most of the traits associated with positive masculinity, guarding, caring, 236 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: accepting risk on the behalf of others, positive like non 237 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: coercive leadership, etc. Can just as easily be offered to 238 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: positive femininity. Both the idealized woman and the idealized man 239 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: are protectors and providers. So how can these be distinct 240 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: masculine and feminine traits? The answers become recursive. Well, it's 241 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: masculine guardianship when a man does it. Rather than fight 242 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: this complication, we ought to embrace it. There is no 243 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: such thing as a man, and therefore we can create 244 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: man in our own image. To that, I say, a 245 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: man is a guardian, but a respectful one. A man 246 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: is a nurturer, not a controller. A man seeks to 247 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: help others become their best selves by providing a safe 248 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: environment for people to discover themselves become themselves. The fact 249 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: that you could define a woman the same way is immaterial. 250 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: A man is equal to every other person of every 251 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: gender and does not accept artificially imposed hierarchical authority. A Nazi, 252 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: therefore cannot be a man end quote. Is this a 253 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: semantic argument? Yes? Do I believe it? Also? Yes? Does 254 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: my opinion about what counts as a man matter since 255 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm not one myself? No? Was I thinking all of 256 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: this while watching tiny little dinosaurs drag two uniform members 257 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: of the Iberian PHANLANX on a hot Catalonian night. Oddly, yes, 258 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: one of the soldiers was alive still and was screaming 259 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: bloody murder into the night. The other was dead. Both 260 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: were by uniform and equipment scouts. A sniper team one 261 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: velociraptor showed up about two minutes later, dragging an anti 262 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: materiel rifle slowly by the muzzle. A fifty cow these 263 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: days mostly used to snipe dinosaurs. Marta walked up to 264 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: the surviving soldier. Will you talk, she asked, No, he answered, 265 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: Do you have a god? She asked yes, he said. 266 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: She let him mumble his way through the Lord's prayer. 267 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: When he finished, she stepped over him a small knife 268 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: in her hands. He looked up at her and called 269 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: her a travello, which isn't a nice way to describe 270 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: her gender, and she cut his throat, much like our 271 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: sponsors are slashing prices. Eh eh. This podcast is brought 272 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: to you by Straight Edge. Don't drink, It's bad for you. 273 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: Not drinking is cool.

Borrow some happiness from the future by 276 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: drinking alcohol. This podcast is brought to you by the 277 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: Association for the Appreciation of Gas Station Drugs. Just because 278 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: we don't have gas stations really anymore is no reason 279 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: to stop consuming drugs that aren't regulated because they're too 280 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: new and experimental to have gotten onto the radar of 281 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: any regulating body. This podcast is brought to you by 282 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: Happy Henriette's Harm Reduction Habit Habitat. Have you been doing 283 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: too many gas station drugs trying to find a way 284 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: to manage your habit? Just need some harm reduction supplies 285 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: and hired of people judging you for going out to 286 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: get them.

And we're back. After Marda slit 290 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: the man's throat, she looked up at me, visibly shaken. 291 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: His last words could have been amen, she said. Only 292 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: then did I notice the Saint Marina's pendant around her neck, 293 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: a patron saint venerated by a growing number of trans 294 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: folk Catholics. Later I discovered why she'd killed him instead 295 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: of taken him prisoner. This was absolutely against standing orders. Essentially, 296 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: a growing number of soldiers have started a campaign against torture. 297 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: The Nazi said he wasn't going to talk, and it 298 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: was quite likely that coercion would have been used, so 299 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: she killed him. The first thousand or so soldiers who 300 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: performed this sort of mercy killing were court martialed out 301 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: of the Internationalist forces, but this only made the movement stronger, 302 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: and command has largely given up on enforcing this rule. 303 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: Their argument is, essentially, if we torture our prisoners, how 304 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: are we better than the fascists that we face. Others 305 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: have argued that torture is nothing compared to the evil 306 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: performed by the other side, who take not just the living, 307 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: but also the dead and make them suffer. I didn't 308 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 1: have time to ask Marta much about her decision and 309 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: whether or not her folk Catholic faith tied into that decision, 310 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: because even before the Velociraptors returned with their prey, Aomer 311 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: has set about waking up the camp. It was good 312 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: that he did, because ten minutes later, the zombies crested 313 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: the hill, and for the first time in my life, 314 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: I saw battle. According to war propaganda standards, I'm supposed 315 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: to tell you that it was somehow both terrible and 316 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: glorious that men prove their metal, women prove their worth, 317 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: and non binary folks prove their I don't know note worthiness. 318 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: According to literature standards, I'm supposed to tell you that 319 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: it was the worst thing in the world. That I 320 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: shit myself with fear, and everyone cried to their mothers 321 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: as they were dragged away to their doom by the 322 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: unfeeling undead army. What's fucked up is that both of 323 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: these things are true. Well, I didn't shit myself in fear. 324 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: I actually learned that I'm all right in a crisis, 325 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: compartmentalizing terror deep into my belly so that it can 326 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: wreck me later. But there was terror, and there was glory, 327 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: and I maybe enjoyed it a little bit too much. 328 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: Maybe there's something wrong with me, or maybe I'm just 329 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: well suited for the world. I live in the world 330 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: of war because there is no outside in a worldwide 331 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: revolutionary war. A Nazi zombie attack a classic one like 332 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: the one we were in. It has a few stages. First, 333 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: the scouts, a sniper team or two. They report on 334 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: century location and are meant to kill a few of 335 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: the largest dinosaurs. MARTA's minions took those two out. Then 336 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: the runners, the screechers. These are a sort of half 337 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: zombie half biospawn. Look, I am not actually sure how 338 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: they're made or exactly what the difference is between a 339 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: zombie and a biospawn, but these things out whatever these creatures, 340 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: like their name implies. They run and they screech. They 341 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: are shock troops. A few hundred came out of the 342 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: hills shrieking in pain. They are not particularly effective combatants. 343 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: They're just there to demoralize people. The camp didn't demoralize 344 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: within moments, the machine gun nests were staffed and pikes 345 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: filled in the gaps. Dino riders get most of the 346 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: cred and most of the action, once again mixed. Bunny 347 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: face murder has hand encoded the code for an emoji, 348 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: in this case a winky face. But in World War 349 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: three point five, like every war ever, infantry does most 350 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: of the work. Shriekers are no match for machine guns. 351 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: Then came the artillery. Mortar shells dropped all around us, 352 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: blowing holes in tents and people our own returned fire. 353 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: Dead bats, unholy flying biospawn came shrieking down through the sky. 354 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: Pterodactyl riders went up after them, and the big cats 355 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: leapt into the air, bringing the bats down out on 356 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: the horizon. The horde shambled towards us. Many still wore 357 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: internationalist uniforms. Somewhere in that horde, most likely with someone 358 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: I'd known, someone I'd cared about, who'd fallen in battle 359 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: and been resurrected to fight against US. Machine Guns opened up, 360 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: of course, but many of the nests went silent as 361 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: mortars found them. Everywhere. Machine guns went silent, The thag 362 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: Hags went to work stegosauruses ripped through the enemy ranks. 363 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: It was chaos. It was hell. I shouldn't have enjoyed myself. 364 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: There is something fundamentally broken in my head. Then, last 365 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: of all came the enemy, the real enemy, the people. 366 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: The Iberian Phalax rode into war on horseback and signature style, 367 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: with lance and rifle and fucking Conquista door helmets and 368 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: huge Christian nationalist flags, waving a big old cross held 369 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: at the front. For a moment, I thought we were lost. 370 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: For a moment, I imagined what it would be like 371 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: to be killed by zombies and then resurrected as one. 372 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: For a moment I was scared. Only a moment. See 373 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: the Fanlax's tactics have grown stagnant by that point. They'd 374 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: had so much success elsewhere that they had routinely underestimated 375 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: our numbers, our morale, our training. Our camp was fairly 376 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: well naturally protected by the hills, but there was one 377 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: obvious weakness, one obvious direction from which to attack. It 378 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: had been planned that way on purpose. There was a 379 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: second camp tucked away into the hills, where our own 380 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: shock troops lived, the Dreadnought Camp. So while we were 381 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: dealing with the screechers and the mortars and the horde. 382 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: The Dreadnoughts were waiting when the Phalax crested the hill, 383 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: riding noble and tall on their destriers. I don't know 384 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: what a destrier is, but it sounds like a fancy 385 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: word for a horse, so we'll go with that. They 386 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: thought they were walking into victory, or at least into 387 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: an even fight. Never ever get into an even fight. 388 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: You fight either when you know you're gonna win, or 389 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: when you have to. If it's an even fight, you 390 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: don't have to, and you shouldn't. They started towards us, 391 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: certain we were tied up with their biospawn. The Dreadnoughts 392 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: came crashing in on their flank, war horns, blowing swords, 393 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:58,719 Speaker 1: rattling rifles, blazing sauapods, screaming, and just annihilated them. A 394 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: woman in full medieval armor dove off a dinosaur's neck 395 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: from twenty feet in the air and crashed into the 396 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: soldier carrying the cross. Within twenty minutes, the Phalanx was routed. 397 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: Raptors big and small, mounted and riderless ran them down. 398 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: Our victory was absolute, much to the dismay of the Dreadnoughts. 399 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: Only six out of their six hundred died in the fighting. 400 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: Even the Swan diver limped away from battle with nothing 401 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: more than a sprained shoulder. Their dreams of Valhalla will 402 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: have to wait for another day. There's a saying among 403 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: the troops here that it's bad luck to brag about 404 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: your own deeds, that if there is boasting to be done, 405 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: it ought to be done by your comrades instead. So 406 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: I'll tell you only that while a reporter's job is 407 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: to report, it's it's easier to report when you're not dead. 408 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: A shotgun served me better than a pen that evening. 409 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: A unit of four Artillerians got the highest kill count 410 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: that day. They were a unit of grouchy old veterans 411 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: from the Bosque separatist movement. To it a penchant for 412 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: explosives and mortars. They called themselves the Bosque Space Agency. 413 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: I guess because they like blowing Nazis as high into 414 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: the air as possible. Given the honor of naming the battle, 415 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: they called it the Battle of Ogre Hill. And I 416 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: don't have access to the Internet, so I don't know 417 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: what that means. As for what happened in the aftermath 418 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,239 Speaker 1: and where we stand today and how I fell in 419 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: with the Dreadnoughts. I suppose you're gonna have to wait 420 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: for another episode of Actually, I don't know what Margaret 421 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: named this current series because this is a one way 422 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: communication thing where I write encrypto notes to her. So 423 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: let me just try and guess what Margaret named this. 424 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: It's gonna rhyme, but it's not gonna be very clever. 425 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: Cool Zone twenty fifty five. Now is our chance to thrive? 426 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: Did you name it that, Margaret? That would be just 427 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: like you, you know, Killjoy And now here's Margaret. We're 428 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: done with the quoted part. Uh, thank you. That's it 429 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: for cools Own twenty fifty five, How to Survive the 430 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: Dino Wars, which is a perfectly cromulent name. Thank you 431 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: very much. And if you enjoyed this podcast, I want 432 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: you to go back thirty years in the past to 433 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: when I released the third book in the Danielle Kine series. 434 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: That's right, it was in twenty twenty five, I believe. 435 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: I think it was March twenty twenty five that I 436 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: put out The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice. No, wait, 437 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: that's when we kickstarted it, And did you know that 438 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: even before that, people could sign up for notifications on 439 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: Kickstarter about when the Immortal Choir holds every voice would 440 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: be released, And in order to do so, they would 441 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: just have to had googled Immortal Choir Kickstarter and they 442 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: would have found it and then signed up for notifications. 443 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: It wouldn't that have been great? I hope that thirty 444 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: years ago, in twenty twenty five, people did that. Anyway, 445 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: catch you all next week. It could happen here as 446 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: a production of cool Zone Media.
