Speaker 1: Low Fallout Season two, Episode one, The Innovator. We open

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: in the past robots are increasingly a part of American

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: life and are an extremely divisive issue. We see a

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: television debate program in which Robert House, the CEO of

23
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: rob Co, is discussing the role of his company in

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: robots In American life, and it certainly seems like people

25
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: fucking hate this guy. They're on the steps of like

26
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: a building destroying rob Co robots. And as this debate

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: show is being aired in a local drinking establishment, day

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: drinking establishment, with the trades people there getting roundly drunk

29
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: in the middle of the afternoon. People are opening about

30
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: what a piece of shit this guy, Robert House is,

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: how he's an unelected, unelected oligarch, and this that and

32
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: the other behind them, a well dressed man, Justin Throw,

33
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: it's beautiful slick back here disagrees that he says, oh well,

34
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: money equals votes, and therefore this gentleman has the most

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: democracy in his pocket, and maybe that's a good thing.

36
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: This is Robert House, the CEO of rob Co, and

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: he looks very different than the CEO of rob COO

38
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: on the television. And we'll discuss why this is the

39
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: case yeah later.

40
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: But the TV is Raffie Silva, who is the mister

41
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: House that we know from season one, and Justin Threw is, now, hey,

42
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: we thought it was going to be a recost, but

43
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 3: it seems to be something a little bit more interesting.

44
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: So Bob House goes on to point out that rob

45
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: Co makes lots of important products like the H and

46
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: H nail gun to trades people in the bar, many

47
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: of whom are construction workers, use in their everyday toil,

48
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: and they should be maybe a little bit more grateful

49
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: for the work that rob Co has done. The customers

50
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: then eject House from the bar and, at his request,

51
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: punch him in the face. They're about to go maybe

52
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: a little further when House opens his trunk and says,

53
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: look at this. That's thirty one million dollars in hard

54
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: American cash. And if you want this cash, all you

55
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: have to do is let me place this device that

56
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: is like about I would say, the size of like

57
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: maybe a little smaller, yeah, like a little smaller than

58
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: like a baseball card. And they're like square with like

59
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: really kind of ugly spines on it. Let me place

60
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: this device on the back of your neck, and then

61
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: you can have the thirty one million dollars. These strings

62
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: no strings in them all, There could be no downside.

63
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: The main guy who is punching House in the face

64
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: is like, no, I'm not gonna do that. How about

65
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I just kick your ass a little bit more. But

66
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: before he can do that, House gets that thing on

67
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: the back of his neck, and then all of a sudden,

68
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: he has complete mind control over the guy, and he

69
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: orders the guy to kill his buddies that he came

70
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: outside to beat up rob House with, and he does that.

71
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: He kills them with a baseball bat. House then turns

72
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: his little control dial of the device all the way up,

73
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: all the way up, all the way up, as some

74
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: of us have done in the game.

75
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: Yes, I was gonna say, guys, I was gonna say,

76
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 3: if you enjoy blowing up someone's head in the game,

77
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: or he likes you enjoyed this episode because there is

78
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: so much head exploding and this.

79
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: I had exploded many many people's heads in the game.

80
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: And so he turns it all the way up. The

81
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: guy's head explodes, and delightfully it works.

82
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: Good for Robert House. He couldn't be doing anything wrong.

83
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: Seems like it's going completely fine. Oh, I'm so happy

84
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: I get to talk about this, guys, because elsewhere we're

85
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: in the desert, and you may recognize this little spot

86
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,559
Speaker 3: if you've played the game as Novak. Because we see

87
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: that these crazy raidar groups high on drugs. They're hanging

88
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 3: the ghoul. He's got barbed wire around his neck. He's

89
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: just fucking chatting mad shit as what on goggans want

90
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: to do. I would also say, I feel like they've

91
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: really smoothed out his mask. Now they know the girlies

92
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: love him. They're like fallout Krueger. No more. Now you're

93
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 3: like sexy sexy the Gul. The ghool girlies love him,

94
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: and it obviously is actually his shit talking as a

95
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 3: signal to our loveliest pal, Lucy, who we love hidden

96
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: in the good old dinky dino statue, which always makes

97
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: me so happy because I just there's no way that

98
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: that is not inspired by the cabas on dinosaurs, which

99
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: I myself have stood inside. So I was feeling very

100
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 3: related to Lucy in this moment. And she's there with

101
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: the sniper rifle, dog meets by her side, She hesitates,

102
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: and boom, the Gul is hanging. It's gross. He's choking.

103
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 3: He's like, please, just fucking get on with it. Shoot

104
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: the fucking rope. And Lucy's like, I'm Lucy and I'm nice.

105
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: She's sweet and nice.

106
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: We need some supplies. Can we have some? The Gul's

107
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: idea was to sneak attack you and kill you. All

108
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 3: I want to do it in a less violent way,

109
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: so like, you give me the supplies and the caps

110
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: I need, and then.

111
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: You just let us go.

112
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: And obviously the raiders say no, and they want to

113
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: eat dog meat. So the Gul goes absolutely ham she

114
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 3: shoots the ropes and it is just absolute chaos.

115
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful action set piece actually showing just how

116
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: aggressive and dangerous a foe the Goole, and Lucy can

117
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: handle herself as well, and wonderful stylized fallout fancy Lucy

118
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: using the sniper rifle to target limbs, legs, and arms,

119
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: just like you do in the game. And later on,

120
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, they get to arguing. Lucy is like, listen,

121
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: I did eventually follow the planet and shoot the rope

122
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: despite you know what you think, and they walk on.

123
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: They arrive at the outskirts of New Vegas and it

124
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: looks really well kept. The buildings are all up, the

125
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: infrastructure looks good. The bombs here, the Ghoul says, were

126
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: shot down. They were the air defenses here worked. And

127
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: Lucy's like, well, why didn't they do this for the

128
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: rest of the country. And She's like, well, this was

129
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: the Gul, says. Robert House's decision. Yea the most powerful

130
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: man in America in pre war America at that time,

131
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: and he basically ruled the country, and he decided for

132
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: reasons that we will learn at some point point that

133
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: New Vegas had to be protected and for some reason,

134
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: this is where Lucy's father, Hank has fled to, and

135
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: we will discover as we go on the reason why.

136
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: Jason, let me ask you a quick question. New Vegas

137
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: is much bigger in the show than in the games.

138
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: It looks like, like we get it really looks expanded

139
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: kind of city escape map.

140
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the game is like you've got a couple of

141
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, I love New Vegas as and many Fallout

142
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: fans will tell you that it's the best of the

143
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Fallouts or their favorite of the Fallouts. But in terms

144
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: of the settings, you know, it's every The deserts are

145
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: a little bit samey, samey. And then it's like you

146
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: don't have huge buildings, You've got one or two buildings.

147
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: It's a small town.

148
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: City like a full full city escape and it's then

149
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 3: we boom, get this flashback to the Ghoul back as

150
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: Cooper Howard and he's listening. This is a just such

151
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: a heartbreaking scene listening to a board member meeting where

152
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: Robert House and his CEO co conspirators, including Cooper Howard's

153
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: own wife. We saw a bit of this lesson, Yeah,

154
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: we saw that she was involved, and now we know

155
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: they are gonna nuke the US themselves so that the

156
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: corporations can divide the world up between them by selling

157
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 3: their tech to survive the apocalypse like Vault Tech. Coop

158
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: goes home to try and save his daughter, knowing that

159
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: the bombs are going to drop, and they flee. I

160
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 3: love this, Jason, because you know what we love on

161
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: x ray Vision. We love when a corporation is evil.

162
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: You know, it was fun failure enough, it's fun for this.

163
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like some speculative fiction. Now now it

164
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: feels like we're here and we're living it. So we

165
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 3: love to see watch Fallout now on Amazon Prime. Famously

166
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: uncorporated company Coop drives to Vegas, but before he can

167
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: leave the suburb, he's cut off by a Vault Tech

168
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: van and the sirens sound the bombs are gonna fall,

169
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: and panic grips the suburbs.

170
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: We go to the present to our old favorite Vault

171
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: thirty three, where Lucy came from where Hank once her

172
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: father once presided Betty, who we remember from last season

173
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: Vault thirty three council members discussing various maintenance issues. Reg

174
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: comes in asking for Norm, Lucy's brother, who we remember

175
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: went on a kind of fact finding mission of his

176
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: own down to the lower depths of the vault. He

177
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: had been sent to Vault thirty one on a leadership

178
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: exchange program and has not been seen him a little bit.

179
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: Regg questions Betty about, you know, the water chip, which

180
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: the Vault thirty three needs, and you know, Regg is

181
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: just knocking over things in this particular office space. So

182
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: Betty is seeking to placate him and wanting to kick

183
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: him out. Says, listen, you know whatever it is that

184
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: you're you want to do, and Reg wants to basically

185
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: create like a group for Vault dwellers who want to

186
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: discuss their feelings of shame and hopelessness around their parents

187
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: and their genetic heritage.

188
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: Basically aka incests.

189
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wants to make people feel better about the

190
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: fact that they're inbred. And Betty's like, yeah, whatever it

191
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: takes to get you out of here and you can

192
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: have a snack budget In Vault thirty two, we catch

193
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: up with interim overseer Stephanie former thirty three Denisen, who

194
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: has been sent over to thirty two because of the

195
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: various depopulation things that have happened in the past. She

196
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: is discussing the differences between thirty three and thirty two

197
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: with another former thirty three, Denisen, Davy, and Davies like,

198
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: I had to turn left when I left the Kevitary

199
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: turn right. It's like I can't get used to it.

200
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: It's very annoying and bureaucratic. Her husband Chet is outside

201
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: with the baby that is not his baby. It's not

202
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: his baby, but he's raising it for Stephanie.

203
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 3: He's stressed though. He is stressed out talking about he is.

204
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: To stay at home dad raising a child it's not

205
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: his own, and he's been married to a wife who

206
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: is doesn't give a shit about him and basically runs

207
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: the entire relationship like a dictatorship. He goes into her

208
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: she complains about Davy, and he's like, honey, we've been

209
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: here a little while now, and I've been raising the

210
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: kid a lot, and I'd really love to have a

211
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: job outside of that, like a role in the vault

212
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: thirty two community. Maybe you could, as you're the interim overseer,

213
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: maybe you could come up with something. And she's like, no, no, no, no,

214
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: like I don't want to take you away from raising

215
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: our baby yet. And he's like, but yeah, but the

216
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: baby's not mine, Like no, my baby is actually not

217
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: my baby. And by the way, the baby doesn't have

218
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: a name yet, and so people have taken to calling

219
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: him Chet Junior, and again, it's not my baby. So

220
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: it's really weird that, like people are calling a Chit Junior.

221
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: Seventy's like, listen, I don't want to talk about this.

222
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't want to have this argument

223
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: right now, and she basically bullies me. Yeah, and she

224
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: basically bullies him into being like, listen, just accept it.

225
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: This is your child now. And dude, we're gonna call

226
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: him Chit Junior. My that sounds great.

227
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: My favorite thing is he goes, oh, no, but Chet

228
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: Junior was my dad's name. The writing in this episode

229
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: is so funny. So Stephanie is also struggling with the

230
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 3: introval email system, which I love because, like, who hasn't

231
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: had a company wide mailing system that sucks down below

232
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 3: good old brain and a job. Bud Askins is down

233
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: there complaining about the mess made by Norm, Lucy's brother,

234
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: who went down there looking for their renegade father, and

235
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 3: is still trapped down there off the events of season one.

236
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: During the last season, it was revealed if you don't remember,

237
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: that Bud runs a program called Bud's Buds and it

238
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: is essentially like a breeding program for supermanagers. Norman is

239
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: down there, slowly starving to death, and he's like, hey,

240
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: can you just let me out? And Bud's like, no,

241
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: I'm a brain and a jar. You go to get

242
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: into your dad's cryopod and then you're going to be

243
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: able to repopulate with supermanagers and buddies. Like you know,

244
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: no one's coming to save you. Man, You live in

245
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 3: my world trapped by a scary brain and a jar.

246
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,119
Speaker 3: It's very.

247
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: Roll.

248
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: Doll as one of his great and it's.

249
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: Very very roll Doll. And recall that Bud, when he

250
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: was a guy, was the senior vice president of Valtech,

251
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: so he's a very high ranking kind of executive c

252
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: suite level exec in vaal Tech, and now his head

253
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: is in a jar. We go back to the desert,

254
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: Lucy and the Ghoul are walking along talking about her dad.

255
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: They come to a soup stand and they had just

256
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: passed like a corpse that has been cut in half.

257
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: The goal tells Lucy to ask the owner if they

258
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: saw her dad pass by, and they're pretty sure because

259
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: of the way the body was torn in half that

260
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: her dad in his power armor did that. And the

261
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: lady is like, yeah, yeah, I saw him, and I

262
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: think he took my he took my son prisoner and

263
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, your son's dead by the way.

264
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

265
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: She's like, I know, I kind of knew.

266
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: So they they move on, knowing that they're in the

267
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: right direction, and the ghoul asks Lucy like, what are

268
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: you gonna do when you find him? And she's like,

269
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring him to justice. And she's like

270
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: and the Ghul is like, that's very stupid and naive.

271
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: What you should do is shoot him and kill him,

272
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: like immediately, like break like, what are you talking about?

273
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: Bring him to justice. Then they're at the Starlight drive

274
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: in and dog meat smells something goes running into the

275
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: building and then the ghoul starts having like a remembrance

276
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: of certain events.

277
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: And that's when things get really weird because we go

278
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: back in the past and we see Coop telling Lee

279
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: mold Over, a pre war scientist, insurgent and future rebel

280
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: who we know from the first season, about what he

281
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: overheard and that his wife is involved and how are

282
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: they gonna stop him? What are they gonna do about it?

283
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: And Coop's like, well, I can't do anything. I'm just

284
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 3: an actor, and Lee's like, well you could. What about

285
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: Robert House. He's building this private missile system in Vegas

286
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: and he's planning on launching the bombs in accordance with

287
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: your wife's plan. By the way, so why don't you

288
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: spy on your wife? That couldn't go wrong. Go to

289
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: Vegas with your wife and she's gonna sell some ColdFusion

290
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: tech to House and find out everything they can so

291
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: you can stop him. You you Caol would spying on

292
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: your wife. We'll find out after.

293
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 5: The break and.

294
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: We're back later. Coop hears a news report on Robert

295
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: House as he's doing some chores at home. Barb, his wife,

296
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: high ranking executive also at Voltech, comes home and clearly

297
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: Coop has decided that he is going to go with

298
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: his wife to Vegas and spy on her in house,

299
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: but he's as she comes home, he decides to play

300
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: it completely normal, like, Hey, everything's fine, everything's great. I

301
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: can't wait to go to Vegas. I have no suspicions

302
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: about anything in the present. Lucy follows dog Meat into

303
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: the building. It turns out there's a vault in there.

304
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: It seems that her dad has fled down to that

305
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: vault for whatever reason.

306
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, let's just stop here quickly, because this is

307
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 3: very interesting because in this idea of that being a

308
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 3: vault behind the starlight driving, I was like, you know,

309
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: it doesn't technically exist in the game, but then people

310
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 3: found vault suits in DLCs and stuff like that, so

311
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: this seems to be a confirmation that the world is

312
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: once again expanding, and this is kind of like a

313
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: nice game, a nice game nod. But also I'm like, Lucy,

314
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: just stopped looking for your dad. He fucking saw forget it.

315
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: Forget it.

316
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: So although seeing what he's working on, as we will

317
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: discover her, it's probably a good idea that somebody to

318
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: go after her and Trance. So the Goul, it turns out,

319
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: has much experience scavenging rating going into vaults. He doesn't

320
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: explain exactly how and why, but it's clear that he

321
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: knows his way around a vault, and he says that

322
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: every time he walks into one, he wonders what happened

323
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: to his wife and daughter. Are they frozen somewhere in

324
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: a vault or alive somewhere in the vault, or are

325
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: they dead. Lucy explained that she knows a lot about

326
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: the Vault conspiracy and how everything is not as it seems,

327
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: that the Vault overseers are actually controlling society down there

328
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: much more than they've led on. She talks about Vault four,

329
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: where grotesque experiments had been taking place and where a

330
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: lot of the inhabitants were former surface dwellers, refugees from

331
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: shady sands living in this kind of cult like existence,

332
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: and the Gul is like, listen, Vault four, that's the

333
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: best case scenario for vault living. And why don't you

334
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: open this vault? And they go down there wondering why

335
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: Hank came there, and they see a lot of evidence

336
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: that the Chinese Army has been there. They find a

337
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Chinese Army had as they go down there.

338
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, in back in Vault thirty three, a good reminder

339
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: reg formerly a dweller of Vault four is presiding over

340
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: his trauma and shame group, kind of reminding you that

341
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: a lot of the stuff that Lucy thinks is normal

342
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 3: about her Vault life was not. He tells the group

343
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 3: that you know, it's not their fault that their parents

344
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: are siblings or family members. And Reg is kind of

345
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: dealing with a lot of issues through this. But the

346
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 3: funniest thing is that nobody else is there for support.

347
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 3: They are there for one reason only. They want to

348
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: change brothers again, like Anna and and and mary Anne

349
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: is like, so I have a dust allergy? Like could

350
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 3: that bed you to inbreting? Honestly, not crazy question, mary Anne.

351
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate that Reg has no idea, but at least

352
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: he's doing that than Norm, who is fading underneath the

353
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: Vault body is still tempting him into the cryo part.

354
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: Norms trying to get some answers about what his father

355
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: was like though we know he was ambitious. Sure what

356
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 3: was he doing here? Buds? Bud's is a big deal,

357
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 3: Bud says, He's like, would you like a quick death?

358
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 3: I can just poison? How about that?

359
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: How about that?

360
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: And then he's like this, He's like so you've got

361
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 3: two options. You can die or you can basically like

362
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: do what I want. And he's like, yeah, I do

363
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: have two logical options, but I have many irrational options.

364
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: That's right down in the vault, Lucy. The other vault,

365
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: Lucy and the ghoul basically find evidence that what was

366
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: going on there was the same kind of mind control

367
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: experience that we saw Robert House I'm engaging in in

368
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: the street earlier in the episode. There were Americans down there.

369
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: There are skeletons dressed in Chinese communist military gear watching

370
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: nuclear war propaganda, and it's clear that these were Americans

371
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: who were being brainwashed into thinking that they were Chinese,

372
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: probably to launch this false flag attack that the corporations

373
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: were gonna do and make it look like the Chinese

374
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: to start this nuclear war. And it's clear that her

375
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: dad is like interested in this for whatever reason, because

376
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: when Lucy goes to the nearby computer, she realizes that

377
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: he took the drive out. They find a human still

378
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: alive that Hank had been experimenting on, and that person

379
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: is just like a mess and keep saying go home,

380
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: go home, going, and then his head explodes. Goule asks

381
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: Lucy have you ever seen one of these brain control devices,

382
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: because like the little chip, that that chip thing you know,

383
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: flew off to explode again, and she's like.

384
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: No, no, somewhat deep deep down. Hank in his fucking

385
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: stolen vala Ama makes his way to the vault deac

386
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: HQ place looks great, how it's been kept up, whichever

387
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: little robot's been doing it. He's pleased. He has, you know,

388
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: several hundred thousand numb read messages. He's excited to get started.

389
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 3: He gets dressed in his little suit, puts on his

390
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 3: gold plated pip boy pin, and hang heads over to

391
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: Global Calms. He reports that he's on duty to someone,

392
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 3: telling whoever it is, that no one knows that he's here.

393
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: He wonders if the person he's reporting to is even

394
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 3: still alive.

395
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,719
Speaker 1: House it's got to be, he briefs House.

396
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 2: Maybe it.

397
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 3: Maybe he gives up the aren't the information that they

398
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: have blown up a lot of people's heads from the

399
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 3: brain computer interface experiments. But devices are getting smaller, and

400
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: I think I can keep on blowing up people's heads. Baby,

401
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: We can do it. We can continue the work. And

402
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: that is our recap. A Fallout season two episode one.

403
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick and then let's discuss this episode. Okay,

404
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: very dense episode, WOA, and I remain kind of amazed

405
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: at how authentic it is to the game. Yeah, and

406
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: I'm having a great time. I loved it, as you know.

407
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: I love New Vegas as I think you do as well. Yeah,

408
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: we haven't quite got there yet, but I love where

409
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: it's picked up right after the events of season one,

410
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: and this has been another fun journey.

411
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. I loved this. I also have

412
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 3: to say, like as much as I, you know, don't

413
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: like to be giving a corporation like a shout out,

414
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: I did think the recap here was very useful. People

415
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: struggle with, you know, a year two years before shows

416
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: now it's hard to aways go back and watch everything.

417
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 3: Definitely watch the recap the beginning of this episode if

418
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: you feel like you're not caught up. I love seeing

419
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 3: Carma Glocklin go full villain. I love the relationship between

420
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 3: Lucy and the Gaul. I love New Vegas. I love

421
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: the esthetic. That's definitely the first Fallout game I ever

422
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: really paid attention to. It was one of my friend,

423
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 3: my best friend alex is fave games, so we would

424
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 3: play it together a lot, and like it was just

425
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 3: to me this episode, I thought, throw us right back

426
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 3: into the action in a way that totally worked. I

427
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: love the Lucy and gul plot lines. Yeah, and I

428
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: do think like Maximus obviously is a really key part

429
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: of the trio. But I also understand with how the

430
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: storytelling is going, that next episode will probably be a

431
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: very Maximus heavy episode. I would hope that we get

432
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: like a Maximus and Lucy reunion, but it's probably a

433
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: little bit soon. Jason Robert House as the big bad

434
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 3: How are you feeling about it so far?

435
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: I love it. I mean that's very New Vegas. I

436
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: love the way that they are not I love the

437
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: way that this show is tying in all of the

438
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: Fallout lore, in particular Fallout three, New Vegas and Fallout

439
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: four into kind of like an overarching like tapestry. House

440
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: was the primary antagonist of New Vegas, not so much

441
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: Fallout three and four, but still making him creating like

442
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: a like a evil justice league of corporate CEOs, of

443
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: which Robert House is like one of them, is such

444
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: a great move. And listen, I think justin throw is

445
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: going to bring a lot of like sleazy fun to

446
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: this role, and I found him to be a wonderful

447
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: antagonist for the game, and so I can't wait to

448
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: see what he has store for this What did you

449
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: think of him?

450
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: I thought he was great. I love Justin Threw. I

451
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: love evil corporation stories. That's always what Fallout has been about.

452
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: I think that all you can do in this era

453
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 3: where we are watching TV shows made by corporations, all

454
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: these TV shows can do is try and tell us

455
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 3: some kind of truth THEID in something you know. So

456
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 3: I love it. I think it's really fun. I love

457
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 3: Justin Thura. I'm really interested in the double casting. We

458
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 3: thought that that was either going to be a young

459
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: old situation or even potentially a full vcast, just because

460
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: of the fact that Justin is a more famous actor.

461
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: But it seems like they're going into this notion of

462
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: maybe there's multiple mister houses, public facing ones, not public

463
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 3: facing ones, possible kind of subterfuge there. Also, we know

464
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: like there are many experiments going on in the world

465
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: of Fallout, so we never know what that could be. Okay,

466
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: So one of my favorite catches that somebody got here

467
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: was the idea that are and this was an ign

468
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: who caught this, and I really like this one, Simon Cardy.

469
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 3: Are the memory chip things, the brain control things that

470
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: are in the back of the neck. Are they testing

471
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 3: out like the mesmetron from Full Out?

472
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: That's what that is.

473
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: That's how I was going.

474
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: Because the mesmetron. So, the mes matron is a device.

475
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: It's like a it looks like a gun, but it

476
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: has like a like a dish on the front of

477
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: it that's kind of like a like a big light

478
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: bulb that's shaped kind of like a dish, and it

479
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: projects this like uh, you know, uh mind control kind

480
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: of waves, and then you can place like a like

481
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: a collar around the person and then control their minds.

482
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: I used it a lot on on a particular uh

483
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: mission that involved slavers, and I just blew up their

484
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: heads rather than actually but yes, I feel like it.

485
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: It it feels like that. I immediately went to the

486
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: mes matron.

487
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Okay. Other things I really enjoyed about this episode.

488
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: I love the production design. That was something that blew

489
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: us away in the first season of Fallout, like in

490
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 3: a whole different kind of level. And I love here

491
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: that not only are we getting such fun production design

492
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 3: heading into New Vegas, which is a totally different landscape,

493
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: and little things like you know, Dinky the t Rex

494
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 3: and all that kind of fun stuff. But also the

495
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 3: way that a video game show, you know, we got

496
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 3: this with the Last of Us, it can have so

497
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: much more fun with Easter eggs and notable things then

498
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 3: say something based on a comic book, right, because for example,

499
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 3: there literally is like a shot of just purified water

500
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 3: in this episode, And if you've never played the game

501
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: and know how important that is to pick up with them,

502
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 3: then you would never know. But I love those little

503
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: bits and bobs the whacka comie game, you know, these

504
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 3: kind of funny little moments that they take from the

505
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: game and build out this bigger world while still giving

506
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 3: us this great central relationship. I felt like Lucy's bubbly

507
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: comedy and the Ghouls cranky, you know, anti heroic Western

508
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 3: nature were back more than ever, and I was just

509
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 3: I was just really into it. I thought it was

510
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 3: really fun, and I was it's very interested that they

511
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: decided to make this Fault twenty four more than just

512
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: a hint in the game. So I love anything that's

513
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: going to expand out the canon like that. So I'm

514
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: very interested in where this is going. What do you

515
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: foresee as some of the biggest things that they need

516
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: to hit to make this a four out New Vegas game.

517
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: Well, I think we need I think I will be

518
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: interested to see if some of our kind of lower

519
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: level mission specific antagonists like Caesar show up that is,

520
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, raiders in leather jackets, you know that kind

521
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: of thing. I bet we will see that, considering how again,

522
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: how authentic to the game and its aesthetics this show is.

523
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: But I think we're going to need to see that

524
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: some kind of uh easter egg type nods at some

525
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: of the plot lines that will hopefully take us through

526
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: the various factions of New Vegas in a way that

527
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: feels kind of true to the game. And I think

528
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: that's something that the first season really accomplished with a

529
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that was going on in the

530
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: wasteland and down in the vaults.

531
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree. And Something's really cool is we

532
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: even get in this episode like the kind of like

533
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 3: great con faction Novak and everything. So I'm really excited

534
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: to see that too, because I want to know more

535
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: about the law. I love to know about like different factions,

536
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 3: how they survived, what their like politics are. I do

537
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: want to see some Lucia Maximus stuff. I want to

538
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: see if they're able to really bring those three plot

539
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: lines together in a way that feels completely satisfying by

540
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: the end and doesn't have to end with another kind

541
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 3: of Walking Dead esque like and now they all have

542
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: to split up, so I'm interested to see how that happens.

543
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 3: I also want to shout out, like, you know, am

544
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 3: I a few months late? Yeah, but I didn't really

545
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: realize when I was there. I went to Universal Studios

546
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: in both Orlando and LA for Halloween Horror Nights with

547
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: my friend incredible theme park journalist Abby White, who treated

548
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 3: me to the trips and I was very lucky. And

549
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: they had fall out mazes there, and in the moment,

550
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, these are good, but you know,

551
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: Universal has incredible original mazes. There was a five Nights

552
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: of Freddy's Maze with real Jim Henson animatronics like, but

553
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: watching this episode, they built in so much from the

554
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 3: premiere into those mazes, like they'd hinted that you would

555
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: get to see certain kind of a shadow of like

556
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: a creature that I won't spoil because we haven't seen

557
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 3: it yet and that, but actually, like even the lab

558
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: and where Hank was doing his experiments was definitely echoed

559
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: in there. They had these like kind of creatures coming out,

560
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: these more kind of experimented on humans that weren't obviously raiders.

561
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 3: So I just think, like that was a very cool thing.

562
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 3: And I wonder all the people who went through it

563
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: if other people who went through were kind of clocking

564
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 3: onto that as they went, because I was really interested

565
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: by just how much. Maybe that's why when I first

566
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: went through it, it didn't fully connect because I was like, yeah,

567
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: this is fun, but it's not. It's kind of the

568
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: story of the first season, but like, what else am

569
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: I getting from it? But there was so much there

570
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: that I'm now realizing was from this. So I think

571
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: that's really cool and I'm very interested to see, you know,

572
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: what are the weird kind of ways that this show

573
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: and it's ownership by Amazon allows us to kind of

574
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 3: get out of just it's a TV show. You know,

575
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: this is a video game show. So I kind of

576
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: love the idea that they can push the boundaries of

577
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: what that looks like, whether that's inexperiences outside of the

578
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 3: show or within the show, So yeah, I'm very excited.

579
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: I hope it doesn't have a lag in the middle.

580
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: I did feel like the first season had a little

581
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 3: lag for me, but they had a lot of stuff

582
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 3: to talk about and tell I really care about these

583
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 3: characters now, so I think for me, I'm just most

584
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 3: excited to see where they keep going, to see what

585
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: we do bring down, to see kind of the stories.

586
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: Obviously we got more of the kind of backstories here

587
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 3: of a couple of characters, So yeah, I'm I'm intrigued. Also, Jason,

588
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: big question, who is the titular innovator of this episode?

589
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's got to be It's gotta be Bob House,

590
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: right of Rob Co and a leader in the CEO

591
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: conspiracy against the United States and it's people.

592
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: I definitely did feel that, but I was also like, well,

593
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: Norm just made this insane play and like, you know,

594
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 3: unfroze all the people and then told you know, and

595
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: then like just fucking absolutely fuck that. So I'm interested. Yeah,

596
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: I'm stoked. I love justin three. I think the writing

597
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 3: on this episode was really good, and I hope that

598
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: they can keep it up with the second episode. I'm

599
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 3: interested that they feel strongly enough about the opening few

600
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: episodes that they did not do the two episodes or

601
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 3: three episodes. They believe this can be a week drop

602
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: show for them, and from all the coverage and kind

603
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: of the way that people are eating it up and

604
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: the Easter eggs and the discourse, and I think people,

605
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: I think they're right. I think it can be a

606
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 3: weekly show, and I think it can be a hit.

607
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for it and I'm glad it's back.

608
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: On the next episode of Extra Vision, we're diving into

609

Speaker 1: a retrospective of James Cameron's films to get you prepared
