Explaining The Ever King to People Who Haven’t Read It | Season 6 Bonus Chaos

Welcome to this Season 6 bonus episode of That Pretentious Book Club! 

What happens when only half of a book club reads LJ Andrews’s spicy romantasy hit The Ever King… and then have to explain the entire plot to the club members who know absolutely nothing about it?

Confusion. Unjustly hot characters. Questionable explanations. Wheezy’s golden retriever. General unhinged behavior.

Welcome to this bonus episode of That Pretentious Book Club, where we tried something completely new — and things went almost exactly as you'd expect.

In this episode:
✨ Two hosts read The Ever King by LJ Andrews
✨ Two hosts go in blind
✨ Everyone attempts to survive the retelling while maintaining the ability to look each other in the eyes

Whether you've read The Ever King cover to cover or have no clue what this romantasy phenomenon is about, this episode is equal parts detailed recap, hot takes, and disaster.

Let us know in the comments:
📚 Have you read The Ever King?
😂 Should we do more episodes like this?

Hello everybody. Hey guys.

Mm-hmm. Ruby. Get your face in frame.

Speaker 2 0:35

Ruby.

Speaker 0:35

We paid for all that media training for no reason.

Speaker 2 0:39

Here's the media training. Wasted,

Speaker 0:41

wasted. Anyways, welcome. Come back to that pretend book club. If you guys are watching this video on YouTube, you're like, wow, this is a lot.

Speaker 3 0:49

If you're not watching this video on YouTube, I highly suggest watching this. This one on YouTube. I

Speaker 0:54

all suggest it, at least

Speaker 3 0:55

together. This one is a visual media fully, and if you're my mom, don't listen or watch it all to this one. You're not allowed to. That has to be the front. Soundbite too, mom. That's right. You're not allowed to read this book or listen to this podcast for this episode. No, I'm scared.

Speaker 1:11

It's okay. I'm gonna get her mom a whole word

Speaker 3 1:13

dress

Speaker 4 1:13

to this one. Who? My mom.

Speaker 1:15

So that is amazing. Anyway, so we're doing a really, a different thing today, um, which I'm very excited about. Uh, Gino's a different thing is that she's gonna be moody, as if that's different. And um, sorry, I'm literally in the middle of sentence. I'm gonna take a drink'cause I'm pregnant. Someone else continue.

Speaker 3 1:32

Um, what we have here is we have, uh, Lacey, but that's not relevant because what we have is not everyone, not everyone read the book, which we did that once before, but this time intentionally wheezy and Dr. Spoons, pal and Mo have not read the book. And myself, Gino, and. Pg, but I don't

Speaker 4 1:58

know

Speaker 3 1:58

when

Speaker 4 1:58

that

Speaker 3 1:59

started. Pg, I missed that.

Speaker 4 2:00

Well the last, the last podcast I was recording with you, I actually had pneumonia and I didn't know it so that's why I was coughing that entire time.

Speaker 3 2:07

Was

Speaker 4 2:07

this? Yeah,

Speaker 2:08

I thought I told you. I was like maybe then how I'm gonna forever. That's why

Speaker 3 2:12

I have, I was sick when I go.

Speaker 4 2:14

I gave you pneumonia

Speaker 2:16

as well. All new band names were the pneumonia girls. Money girls. I

Speaker 3 2:20

Speaker 2:22

instead of PG 13. We're PG four and a

Speaker 3 2:25

and Ruby PG four and Ruby

Speaker 2:27

PG four. And a dog. What is the, bless you. I dunno if you guys can hear my husband sneeze in the other room through the closed door. Uh, what is the baby in my womb count for

Speaker 3 2:38

an eight. I think it's eight, nine. So

Speaker 2:41

eight. Yeah. 80.

Speaker 2 2:43

80% cook.

Speaker 2:44

Yeah, 80% cook. That's a good band name. New band

Speaker 2 2:48

name. I kinda like that.

Speaker 2:50

Anyways. Um,

Speaker 2 2:51

yeah, so we have not read the book. Um, well we have not

Speaker 2:55

this side of the screen,

Speaker 2 2:56

so it'll be fun to, I have heard concerning things only thus far. So I have heard, um,

Speaker 3 3:02

what happened

Speaker 2 3:03

was pretty mixture

Speaker 3:04

of things.

Speaker 3 3:05

What happened was after we recorded the one with the Scary Eyes, what was that one? The Night

Speaker 3:11

In

Speaker 3 3:11

The Moth? Moth. The Night In the Moth.

Speaker 3:13

Not as scary as the way she describes them, but yeah,

Speaker 3 3:15

we, we um, we stopped recording and I was like, Hey, I'm reading this book right now. And I started describing it and immediately the reactions I got from Whe and Spoons were amazing. And I was like, stop, this has to be recorded. And then, uh, told. Lacey about it. And she was like, I love that book. So, um, here

Speaker 4 3:37

we are. She tried to, you know, take one over on me, pull one over on me. I really shouldn't.

Speaker 2 3:43

Take

Speaker 3 3:43

one

Speaker 2 3:43

over on me, take one over on me. She thought she could take one over on me. She was wrong, dead wrong. No one takes one over on me. The pg

Speaker 3:52

pg the way that Ruby, the dog, if you guys are not watching this is like Kendall, you're not allowed to talk to anyone else.

Speaker 2 3:59

I know. I

Speaker 3:59

don't stop speaking to other people much talking.

Speaker 3 4:02

I can, I can.

Speaker 4:03

She might have to if she's gonna continue to be horrible

Speaker 3 4:07

Anyways. She,

Speaker 4:08

I'm not.

Speaker 3 4:09

Are we up, are we doing normal format and updating about our lives? We didn't even do intros. I mean,

Speaker 2 4:13

let's just do it.

Speaker 4:14

I,

Speaker 3 4:15

the book,

Speaker 4:15

we mentioned everyone's name, so that was like sufficient intro. Everyone, if you don't know which of us is which name, then this is, you get to be a fun guessing name for you.

Speaker 3 4:23

Mm-hmm. All right. Well then I guess let's get into it. And I did have to spark notes the book because, um, I read it a like a month ago. It disappoints me that there's a Sparks notes about this

Speaker 4:36

book. That's what we were saying. That's weird. Were like,

Speaker 3 4:38

there's a study guide.

Speaker 4 4:39

Like what? It's actually really cool because you is a good author because she got picked up by traditional publishers halfway through, like writing her eighth book within like this world. Oh. And so everything is is that unavailable means for a while?

Speaker 4:54

Yes.

Speaker 4 4:55

Oh, that's cool. What

Speaker 4:56

is that? I'm just asking is that what that means?

Speaker 4 4:58

What means

Speaker 4:58

that she's a, that she's a good author because she got picked up halfway through.

Speaker 4 5:02

Yeah, because she, what did I think so?

Speaker 5:04

Yeah. Or does it just mean that there's a lot more freaky, freaky dey readers out there

Speaker 4 5:09

compared to other things? I've not, it's really not that freaky.

Speaker 5:11

No. I like the other things that, okay, so let's start, there are people who are freak you than you.

Speaker 3 5:16

No, let's start there because the book definitely on the opening pages is. Trigger warnings. Oh yeah. This like, like, and I was so, I was prepared to be uncomfortable.

Speaker 5:27

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 5:28

And I was like, uh, I'm not that freaky Dicky. Um, I was prepared to maybe have to not finish this book,

Speaker 5:37

but a level of Gino to PG tell Freaky Dicky. Are you?

Speaker 3 5:41

But it, um, it wasn't that bad at all. I mean, there was, there was lots of like ripping people's eyeballs out and stuff.

Speaker 2 5:48

Oh.

Speaker 3 5:49

But, um,

Speaker 5:50

not my favorite.

Speaker 2 5:51

That's not my, that's

Speaker 3 5:52

it wasn't

Speaker 2 5:52

pretty low on my list of things. I like

Speaker 3 5:54

It didn't bother me. That doesn't bother me. Yeah. Like different forms of detailed torture.

Speaker 4 5:59

Oh,

Speaker 3 5:59

I'm cool with that. It was okay. Oh, it was

Speaker 4 6:01

really freaky blood play.

Speaker 3 6:04

Sorry for the crunching of my water bottle.

Speaker 5 6:06

And the blood play,

Speaker 4 6:07

there was actually quite a bit of blood place. Oh. Being as if, as the guy's name is blood singer. So I need, so he's, listen, his blood, his powers are literally within his blood, so he has to use them to, you know, that's a good excuse for the blood play.

Speaker 6:22

I was about to say, this doesn't feel like an, like an apt excuse to give someone magical blood, but there's two schools of thought and seen,

Speaker 4 6:28

Hey, I'm sorry, but you know,

Speaker 2 6:29

see, he's like it, it says it all right there upfront. He's an honest upfront guy.

Speaker 4 6:34

He really is. That's what I'm getting

Speaker 2 6:35

from, from him

Speaker 4 6:35

actually.

Speaker 2 6:36

Yes. Well,

Speaker 4 6:37

he couldn't even hide his identity for more than like a chapter.

Speaker 6:41

So he's stupid.

Speaker 2 6:41

I love that.

Speaker 4 6:42

He was like, yeah, I'm gonna attempt you into coming with me and to steal you away also. I'm like, that guy.

Speaker 6:48

Ooh, Gino just leaned over my shoulder really close.

Speaker 4 6:51

Um,

Speaker 6:52

okay, that's spoons, but that was me. Sorry. I was thinking, as I said, I was thinking about was I was trying to get closer to you earlier and you away.

Speaker 2 7:01

I, I'm, I don't play hard to get enough. You know, you can talk whenever you want. I'm removing Ruby from the situation.

Speaker 7:08

Ruby's being removed from Ruby

Speaker 2 7:09

Situation. You for joining us. Ruby. Thank you. And that's a wrap on Ruby, everyone. Okay.

Speaker 7:16

There's gonna be some structural changes to 80% cooked. We need a new plan, guys. We're

Speaker 2 7:21

here to address the, uh,

Speaker 7:23

the changes, the loss of our member, Ruby.

Speaker 2 7:25

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 7:27

She

Speaker 2 7:27

just didn't follow our vision.

Speaker 7:30

Yeah. She just didn't really have the vision.

Speaker 2 7:31

We had artistic differences with Ruby.

Speaker 7:33

Yeah.

Speaker 2 7:33

As her

Speaker 7:34

vision. Her whole scope of vision was just spoons.

Speaker 2 7:37

Sorry. I was trying to do windows again. Windows.

Speaker 7:38

Yes.

Speaker 2 7:39

Yes. But yeah, her, I safety vision was violent. Wow. This is really good content. Everyone like me, everyone's like, well, we quit this episode

Speaker 7:50

already because what you can see, what you're gonna notice if you watch this back is every time that spoons leans close to me and puts an arm over my shoulder and put her drink down, I'm like, really? Every single time.

Speaker 2 8:02

Hey.

Speaker 3 8:21

A lot of books. A little

Speaker 4 8:22

adjusted

Speaker 2 8:23

this world. Lacey has more opinions here and we're just really brushing past them. I think

Speaker 3 8:27

she needs to be more aggressive.

Speaker 4 8:29

Well, Gino, it's hard with you in the room. Okay.

Speaker 3 8:33

Listen, it's hard when you've had pneumonia. I had pneumonia when I was two. Okay. Beat that.

Speaker 4 9:05

I like her as the

Speaker 2 9:08

Oh my God.

Speaker 4 9:09

I just think I'll get noticed. What I, I

Speaker 2 9:11

think she shouldn't be.

Speaker 4 9:12

She's just really cool. I've been her fan before she was traditionally English.

Speaker 2 9:17

That is, that is,

Speaker 4 9:18

Speaker 4 9:40

And technically these are her ever King was like her seventh book.

Speaker 3 9:45

Oh wow.

Speaker 4 9:46

Because she wrote the other ones first.

Speaker 3 9:47

Mm. They're all in the same world.

Speaker 4 9:49

Yeah.

Speaker 3 9:50

And you like see the characters in this book.

Speaker 4 9:53

Yeah.

Speaker 3 9:53

That's fun. Um. So there is this girl this, well, this elf, Olivia Ferris,

Speaker 4 10:01

Fay

Speaker 3 10:02

Fay. I don't know why I said Elf. I didn't even read this book. Calling you out. She's like, at least get it right.

Speaker 4 10:09

Confused with the elf in there.

Speaker 3 10:11

We're not talking about the elves yet. The elves.

Speaker 5 10:14

The elves. The elves.

Speaker 3 10:15

Okay. We're not talking about the Olivia, Olivia Ferris. Yes. And she is a princess of the Fay. Um, because there are land Fay and there are

Speaker 5 10:25

the ocean.

Speaker 3 10:26

Yeah. Yes. Do you mean so, so the No, because the ocean fay, the sea Fay are, they live in the ever sea.

Speaker 4 10:34

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 10:35

And correct me if I get anything wrong, which I know you will. Anyway.

Speaker 2 10:39

I wanna be living in the ever sea.

Speaker 3 10:40

But the ever sea is like. Like, it's still like a, you go into the water

Speaker 10:46

uhhuh

Speaker 3 10:46

and then you're, they have islands and then you come back up. Yeah. So like,

Speaker 4 10:51

it's like the upside down world kind.

Speaker 3 10:52

Yeah. Like from straight, like you're underwater the

Speaker 4 10:54

whole time.

Speaker 3 10:55

That's so cool.

Speaker 10:56

See, I like it. But also, are there mermaids?

Speaker 3 10:59

There are mermaid.

Speaker 10:59

Okay. I'm cool.

Speaker 2 11:01

I am so down with the ever sea. It's not even funny.

Speaker 3 11:03

Um, but the land, they do not have,

Speaker 2 11:08

they

Speaker 3 11:09

don't have, I'm, they can't go to the ever, the ever world, um, the ever sea because

Speaker 4 11:16

Are there also

Speaker 3 11:17

humans You can talk

Speaker 4 11:19

Not, no, there's not humans in this world.

Speaker 3 11:22

There are humans. Yeah.

Speaker 5 11:23

Yeah.

Speaker 3 11:24

Is it just

Speaker 5 11:25

her mom

Speaker 4 11:26

is half human? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right.

Speaker 3 11:27

Her mom is half human. This is fascinating. Um, but the humans aren't really like in the story at all.

Speaker 4 11:33

Not

Speaker 3 11:34

they, anyways, the way the Land fa work is there's all different. I don't know. What would you say? Like

Speaker 4 11:41

they call them uh,

Speaker 3 11:42

clams like kind of thing.

Speaker 4 11:44

Yes. Sorry, I thought we were going the magic rock.'cause they call their magic something else. And

Speaker 3 11:49

if you have the word

Speaker 4 11:50

fury, they call it like the earth Fay. Like where she specifically is her magic, they call fury. Like that's their fury talent. I love that. Instead of like their magic talent, there is a C clam. They call it their magic. Oh. But her specific, it's like, what's your fury? Like what's

Speaker 3 12:06

your

Speaker 4 12:06

talent?

Speaker 12:07

My fury is my fury.

Speaker 4 12:08

Yeah.

Speaker 3 12:09

And the story

Speaker 4 12:10

starts, starts out actually fun fact, her father does have some like, it's like crazy.

Speaker 3 12:14

Actually. The story starts out as a little prologue where Olivia is a child and there's this child, Faye prisoner boy, and she comes and visits him and reads him stories, sneaks in at night and reads him stories about the serpent and the

Speaker 4 12:35

songbird.

Speaker 3 12:35

Songbird.

Speaker 2 12:36

Oh.

Speaker 3 12:37

And she's like. I think that they could be friends. And I,

Speaker 2 12:42

I wonder if this is foreshadowing anything in the future.

Speaker 3 12:44

Absolutely not. Never, never. No.

Speaker 2 12:47

Sorry, this is just merely device.

Speaker 3 12:49

It was just a random device. Yeah.

Speaker 2 12:50

It's just like to fill space.

Speaker 3 12:52

Yeah, exactly. Can we word count? Um, and he gives her, no, he asks her, he gives her this talisman kind of

Speaker 4 13:03

thing? No, she gives him, she gives him, well,

Speaker 3 13:07

she doesn't give him the talisman.

Speaker 4 13:08

Yes, she gives him the bird.

Speaker 3 13:10

Oh, she gives him the, a little bird necklace.

Speaker 4 13:13

Oh. And then she also brings by the, basically it's, oh yeah. They call it the, dang,

Speaker 3 13:20

it's a Tasman,

Speaker 4 13:21

essentially. Yeah, it is. But, and then it's the thing that holds the magic, the key to the, basically, but we don't know this

Speaker 3 13:27

now.

Speaker 4 13:27

No,

Speaker 3 13:28

we don't know this till way later.

Speaker 4 13:29

Don't you know it at the beginning? Because that's how they, did you even write

Speaker 3 13:33

this brochure?

Speaker 4 13:34

cause they lock it away because they use

Speaker 3 13:35

it. Well, they,

Speaker 4 13:36

they

Speaker 3 13:37

locked it. Well, you don't know this till way later

Speaker 4 13:39

they

Speaker 5 13:39

say how they locked it though.

Speaker 3 13:41

No, she just said she broke in and got it from her dad's. So let's just start picking sides. I

Speaker 2 13:46

know. I think is right. She did.

Speaker 3 13:49

She got it from her dad.

Speaker 5 13:51

She got it it from her

Speaker 3 13:52

dad.

Speaker 2 13:53

I think she got it from her mom. She didn't get it from her dad. It was her aunt. It was her third cousin. You guys were all wrong. Yeah.

Speaker 3 13:59

And she, I

Speaker 2 13:59

don't think I read this.

Speaker 3 14:00

And he was like, keep it safe. And then she ran away and she tripped and she fell and landed on it and broke it. And when she landed on it, it like burned into her, the symbol burned in her skin. Wait.

Speaker 4 14:12

Be used to.

Speaker 3 14:12

And she was like, and she was like, oh no, I broke it and he's gonna like hate me forever so I can never let him know. And then cut to. What, like 10 years later something. Yeah. Um, and she's 18, 20, 20. Um, and he is

Speaker 4 14:28

like 24.'cause they said he's like a few turns older, which is their version of you. If he still a prisoner, why is he a prisoner? No, he's not there because they sent him back.

Speaker 3 14:35

Yeah. Well, we can, we don't know

Speaker 4 14:37

this yet. We don't

Speaker 3 14:38

know these things yet. We know that he is not fair. Four years

Speaker 4 14:40

old.

Speaker 3 14:40

We don't know why he's a was a prisoner.

Speaker 4 14:42

I thought they do. I just, yeah,

Speaker 3 14:44

you're just I

Speaker 4 14:44

know the story.

Speaker 3 14:45

Yes, yes.

Speaker 4 14:46

They don't tell, they

Speaker 3 14:47

don't tell you all this until way later. No,

Speaker 4 14:49

but then, but he's like the fourth point of view chapter and he's in the fa and he's in the ever sea. So like we do know he's in the ever sea by like chapter four because it's his point of view.

Speaker 3 14:59

Yeah, but you don't know. That's the same as the little boy. They don't say it

Speaker 4 15:02

Well, he brings out the bird. He fight fights for the bird bag. But he fights for the bird.

Speaker 3 15:07

It's heavily

Speaker 15:09

implied. We all agree. It's heavily implied.

Speaker 3 15:11

Okay, so then what happens?

Speaker 15:13

And also let's all acknowledged that Gino's Knee has been touching my knees for like,

Speaker 5 15:16

I did not

Speaker 15:18

cracking up. There's a lot just arguing about No, I definitely thought there was gonna be more cohesion between y'all. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 5 15:29

Um, okay, you, you tell this story.

Speaker 15:32

You know what,

Speaker 3 15:34

interrupt. Um, so it's Olivia and she wakes up and she has night terrors about the

Speaker 15:40

Oh brother.

Speaker 3 15:41

About the, ever someone will happen, ever king to murder her. Mm-hmm. Coming

Speaker 4 15:47

back Talisman.

Speaker 3 15:48

Yeah. So that's when we, we know that that's the kid was the ever king. And will you find out that? Can I say

Speaker 15:56

from the second that you said she was reading a story to a little boy in prison? I was like, yep, I know exactly who that it.

Speaker 2 16:27

Why? Okay.

Speaker 3 16:29

Yeah.

Speaker 2 16:29

Well, I guess

Speaker 3 16:30

Speaker 5 16:32

read the upper series first.

Speaker 3 16:34

Well, I have not read the other series. Okay.

Because like,

Speaker 2 17:38

I'll have to get over it. He's a redhead though, right? Yeah. In the picture.

Speaker 4 17:41

He's like, it's literally kind of like a NOx little mermaid. Eric Redhead. Eric is the prince.

Speaker 17:47

Oh, that's right. Can this one, um, tell the basic similarities from people is that, like, for example, if lip it lip like looks exactly like her, but she has like a, like a fin instead of legs. Do you think he would recognize her?

Speaker 2 18:07

I think that's one of Prince Eric's charms, though. I love that. He's stupid. He's just

Speaker 18:10

a little ditzy.

Speaker 2 18:11

He's just kind of, well, he

Speaker 4 18:12

halfway drowned.

Speaker 2 18:13

He was sort of drowned and we did give him a lot of shit for that, you know.

Speaker 3 18:17

Yeah. He

Speaker 4 18:17

did fully fall off

Speaker 2 18:18

during the hurricane. I like, he's nice. He's got a dog, he's got a little flute, like he's got a lot going on, you know.

Speaker 3 18:24

He's a mbo.

Speaker 2 18:25

Yes. Which is what I like about it. Oh.

Speaker 3 18:28

So yeah, we find out she's a princess of one of the clans. Her father's like the king and, uh, she has a, a little brother. And she has night terrors about the ever king coming back and it's this day of festivities. Um, go ahead.

Speaker 4 18:44

What did I say? Day of festivities.

Speaker 3 18:45

It's the day before the festivities. No, it's like a few days. Go ahead. Go ahead. What did I say wrong this time? Leaving because they're leaving. Their parents are all

Speaker 4 18:52

leaving. That's a really big portion of it.

Speaker 3 18:54

I mean, I was gonna say they parents are leaving, but

Speaker 4 18:56

it's so, but it's because everyone's coming in. Like of all the clans

Speaker 3 19:00

are friends. It's three days before the festival, their parents leave and then it's the day of the festival.

Speaker 19:05

And then the child in my love is loving this strike Eric. Point of view.

Speaker 3 19:09

Mom's like I,

Speaker 19:11

my chaos baby's so happy right now.

Speaker 5 19:13

I'm only gonna be like this for this part because this is like, I literally read the first eight chapters today. So this is the only part where I'm guys

Speaker 4 19:20

Speaker 3 19:21

I see where this

Speaker 4 19:21

is from. This is fresh.

Speaker 3 19:23

Um, hi. Yeah, but I'm just trying to tell the story until comes in, even though it switches a little in the book. But just get this main part. The

Speaker 4 19:34

main part.

Speaker 3 19:34

So

Speaker 4 19:35

planning, action.

Speaker 3 19:36

Yeah. And um, you throw me off. So bed, there are other fa Olivia, she has like flaring

Speaker 5 19:43

Speaker 3 19:43

Speaker 4 19:50

Speaker 3 19:51

He's a ladies Fay. And then he has a younger brother who's

Speaker 19:54

Speaker 4 19:56

He's a lady's fa.

Speaker 19:57

He's a lady. That's crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 4 20:01

She like doesn't wanna get out of bed and she's being really grumpy about it. And so he basically starts telling her the story of how he did it with two Fay women. Oh. And was asking her questions about positioning and how actually would've worked. And then she's like, shut up, Jonas. And got out of bed and got dressed and he was

Speaker 3 20:17

like, uh,

Speaker 4 20:18

sucker.

Speaker 2 20:18

Wow. Jonas

Speaker 3 20:27

She's cold. This is the I have to go.

Speaker 5 20:31

Oh my God. I'm just very pregnant. Continue on back.

Speaker 2 20:36

Okay.

Speaker 3 20:37

Speaker 2 20:38

window.

Speaker 3 20:39

Um, yeah, there's Sandra, there's Olivia's best friend named something.

Speaker 4 20:45

Mira.

Speaker 3 20:45

Mira. I'm not names, I don't do names. Um. And anyways,

Speaker 4 20:51

Alexi actually is her best friend,

Speaker 3 20:54

Alexi, who is like one, one of the,

Speaker 4 20:56

it's her cousin. It's

Speaker 3 20:56

one of the soldiers cousin. He's one of the soldiers. He just came back as a soldier.

Speaker 4 21:00

Yeah. He went to have

Speaker 3 21:02

they? They have.

Speaker 5 21:04

And they're like, wow. He has black on his eyes and black on his lip.

Speaker 3 21:06

Also hot.

Speaker 4 21:07

That

Speaker 5 21:07

is hot, right?

Speaker 2 21:09

That's Who

Speaker 3 21:09

is this? It's Lexi.

Speaker 5 21:10

Lexi,

Speaker 3 21:11

her cousin. And it's the day of the, and he's like the oldest of them, I think.

Speaker 4 21:15

Yes.

Speaker 3 21:16

It's the day of the festivities. And she's like, they're all like, let's go down to the beach and get drunk.

Speaker 4 21:23

I'm listening.

Speaker 3 21:23

And they do, and then she's like, I'm so afraid of the ever king coming back. And Lexi's like, you're being dumb. Let me show you. And so he takes her swimming to the. Essentially this whirlpool wall that is the barrier between the ever, uh, the ever kingdom and their kingdom. And he is like, no one can cross this sea. Mm-hmm. And then she's like, wow. And she touches it and he is like, why did you touch it? That's weird. And she's like, I don't know. But then there's like this weird shift in the world. She

Speaker 4 21:51

like felt drawn to it. She's like, in my stomach. It's like a tether

Speaker 3 21:54

pulling me to the, whoa. She's like, I, then we find out that

Speaker 2 21:58

Whirlpool, we

Speaker 3 21:58

flip other side, flip, flip other side of the, uh, ever sea, um, is Eric Blooding the ever king who has his Faye powers are that.

Speaker 2 22:15

I am sorry. The, the silliness of Eric Blooding, the ever king just hit me at once.

Speaker 5 22:21

Do not insult

Speaker 3 22:23

Erics.

Speaker 4 22:25

I'm

Speaker 2 22:25

sorry.

Speaker 4 22:26

I

Speaker 2 22:26

Nice guy.

Speaker 4 22:27

He's actually point, he's

Speaker 5 22:29

actually

Speaker 3 22:30

horribly

Speaker 2 22:31

not nice. Oh, okay. Well I don't feel bad. He's kind of

Speaker 4 22:33

ruthless.

Speaker 2 22:34

The name. Is it just like when you give them their full title? It's so funny.

Speaker 4 22:37

So like you find out, it's like their last names usually have and the ever kingdom have to do with their, like their magic,

Speaker 2 22:45

right?

Speaker 4 22:45

So like they have. Okay. Like wait, wind walker or something? I dunno.

Speaker 2 22:51

There's like names like

Speaker 4 22:52

that. So like everybody has names like Gotcha, gotcha. So he's blood zinger because he can sing to his blood

Speaker 2 22:56

that Yeah.

Speaker 3 22:56

So his blood can either king or can I can either kill or kill you. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 23:01

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 23:02

So if he, he, he, that's how he tortures people a lot is he'll like cut them up and put his blood in them and then let them get to like the brink of death and then sing them back to health and then cut them up and put his blood in them. And then s back to health. That is

Speaker 2 23:13

fucked up.

Speaker 3 23:15

It's pretty, pretty unique I feel like, I feel like we really needs to be

Speaker 2 23:19

pretty unique. He's kind of like interesting, like, I'm just like, Eric, you maybe like don't get it. Like, Eric's kind of different than other guys.

Speaker 3 23:28

You know,

Speaker 2 23:28

Eric's kinda like unique and special, so not a lot of guys can like do that. So, you know, dunno

Speaker 5 23:36

he,

Speaker 2 23:36

my boyfriend's crazy. Um, Eric

Speaker 5 23:39

is he,

Speaker 4 23:40

he is also captain of the ever ship, I guess.

Speaker 5 23:43

Okay.

Speaker 4 23:43

Um, yeah.

Speaker 2 23:44

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 23:45

This is the leadership that can cross the ever sea Yes. That we know of.

Speaker 2 23:49

Sick.

Speaker 4 23:50

Well, right then. Yeah, because he says that he's like, it's still, it's like the ownership built specifically for, it's kind of like a dude moment where he is bragging on his shit about it's the best.

Speaker 2 24:01

My ship is goaded.

Speaker 3 24:02

Yeah. Literally. Have you seen how big my ship is?

Speaker 2 24:05

Okay. Is the ship magic or is it like heat? Something about. Baby ever king.

Speaker 3 24:12

He cannot actually cross the, the like whirlpool barrier. Yes. Currently no one can cross it because the whole thing was they, the land fay like sealed it off with his blood. Yeah. So that he could not get back and start war with them.

Speaker 2 24:26

So he's like, so he's a young, he's a young, he was a child at the beginning

Speaker 3 24:32

of the book. Yes, yes. And we'd find out later that he was a child when he became the king, essentially. Okay.

Speaker 2 24:37

That's crazy. Oh, that was my other question.

Speaker 4 24:38

Yeah. Yeah. Because like, basically, hi, Olivia's dad is the one that killed his dad

Speaker 3 24:48

and he's like very emo

Speaker 4 24:50

in his

Speaker 3 24:51

factors. Yeah. He is like, my whole goal in life is kill, is to kill Olivia's dad. Yeah. I torture Olivia's dad. Well.

Speaker 2 25:00

Oh, he, he wants to torture and kill him.

Speaker 3 25:02

Yeah.

Speaker 4 25:02

But he is also like slightly intrigued with Olivia.

Speaker 2 25:05

Well that makes it rough.

Speaker 3 25:06

Well, yeah. Still, still

Speaker 4 25:07

he is. He, um. So Al wait, there was also, oh,'cause there, the big p Porsche part, part, big part of where Eric is, is that his, the ES has a sickness.

Speaker 3 25:20

Yeah.

Speaker 4 25:21

That's like,

Speaker 3 25:22

so like it kills off all the plants and the land and like everything's dying.

Speaker 4 25:26

Yeah. Oh.

Speaker 3 25:26

And we need him. And he is, um, he is like, everything's dying. Also, I'm the big bad captain of the ever ship. And also these people are kind of pissing me off, so I'm gonna take your eyeballs. And then he takes eyeballs and he is like, anyone where

Speaker 4 25:40

from the first job? Excuse me.

Speaker 3 25:42

Yeah. I'm pretty sure he had

Speaker 4 25:44

eyeballs. Did he take,

Speaker 3 25:46

um,

Speaker 4 25:46

he had the guy who betrayed him on the ship.

Speaker 3 25:48

Yeah. Did, did not take his eyeballs.

Speaker 4 25:50

He put his blood in him. He threatened to take eyeballs, but he will. But he, but he put his blood in. He's not above kicking

Speaker 3 25:56

eyeballs, is what

Speaker 4 25:57

I'm saying. No, no, no. No's. So he'll take your eyeballs.

Speaker 3 25:59

He also is not afraid of scaring little children.

Speaker 2 26:01

You know, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do,

Speaker 3 26:03

but he is like, Hey, I've run on this island that's dying, that's gonna be loyal to me. You can go to my island, which isn't dying, but everyone else I will torture and slay you. Um,

Speaker 2 26:17

okay. I mean, it could be worse, I guess.

Speaker 3 26:20

Yeah. So then he's like, whoa, I feel this shift in the world. And, um, we're like, wow. Peter, take Peter take, um, oh, hi Lili. And he is like. I can get through the overseas now. So he's like, here we go right away. Like they don't stop to like refuel, think about anything. They're like, we're going through that wall of water. Oh my God.

Speaker 4 26:46

And we're gonna kill the king. They like explained to like how they can travel so fast because if they like go under the water instead of staying on top of the water, they can travel faster.

Speaker 3 26:57

Oh.

Speaker 4 26:58

So like that they, they

26:59

like

Speaker 3 26:59

travel in the ship, but it's under water

Speaker 4 27:01

take. Yeah.

Speaker 3 27:02

Gotcha.

Speaker 4 27:03

And then they can like pop out where they need to be. Yeah. They go back under to get through the world's crazy

Speaker 3 27:09

nuts. So they pop out where the land fair during their celebration and they're like, what's going on? And they's a lot of people here and they're like. The merchants are like, it's a celebration. Are you a merchant? They're like, yeah, duh. We're merchants. So they march in, they're like, we're merchants.

Speaker 4 27:22

We are so clearly merchants. So,

Speaker 3 27:23

yeah. Um, even though we know we, we were acting really weird and not like any of the people from your world. And then he

Speaker 4 27:30

spots well, but, but his, his one of his first, his first mate and then his other first, like the girl, the only girl on the ship, they're like actually being kind of chill. And then at some point the merchant like basically clocks. Eric is like absolutely acting weird. And Celine's like, this is my younger brother. He doesn't get out much. He doesn't get out. He is like, her excuse. This is what he's like, sorry I was giggling.

Speaker 3 27:54

Um, so he clocks Olivia immediately and he's like, I know that girl and I'm gonna get her.

Speaker 2 28:01

It's not blocking to clock, it's not blocking to you that I'm the princess of the land, Fay or whatever.

Speaker 3 28:06

He's like, I'm gonna get her, I'm gonna torture her and then make her father suffer because she's suffering. And because I'm kind of attracted to her, but also I hate her family and her so much.

Speaker 2 28:18

That's a piece of work.

Speaker 3 28:19

He's gonna fall in love with her. So he, and he goes up to her and that earlier

Speaker 2 28:23

when you're coaching someone and then you're like, okay, now hold on. I

Speaker 3 28:25

mean's

Speaker 4 28:27

slightly

Speaker 3 28:27

earlier. Her friend had made her promise to like, just have fun and

Speaker 4 28:31

Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 28:31

And promiscuous at the, she

Speaker 2 28:33

have fun and enjoy yourself

Speaker 3 28:34

at the ball because she's like, I've never had sex with anyone. And she's like, well do it tonight. And she's like, yeah, but they have to be special. She's like, no girl, just do it. And she's like, okay, I guess

Speaker 4 28:43

special.

Speaker 3 28:43

So then, and it's like, isn't it like a masquerade kind of MAs?

Speaker 2 28:46

Well we've established he is special and you,

Speaker 4 28:48

it's

Speaker 2 28:49

very special.

Speaker 3 28:49

Well, it's a masquerade. And so he's like, Hey. Um, and she's like, Hey. And then he is like, okay, let's go to your room. And she's like, okay, let's go to my room. She

Speaker 4 28:57

invites him. You have some That's very important because she was like, because she's the one taking control of her life. And

Speaker 5 29:05

boys backfire.

Speaker 4 29:07

She was like, so like I paint windows. I, and he's like, I'd like to see it sometimes. She's like, well, I have a painted window in my room.

Speaker 2 29:16

And he's like, the perfect place to

Speaker 3 29:17

torture and kill you. Like, oh,

29:20

I'd

Speaker 5 29:20

love

Speaker 3 29:20

to

Speaker 5 29:20

see. That's great. Literally. And it was like, am I doing this right now?

Speaker 3 29:25

Oh, poor thing. And so they go up to her room and start things and uh, I know what that

Speaker 5 29:35

could mean.

Speaker 3 29:36

Then against the

Speaker 5 29:37

wall, there's like some, you know, you know.

Speaker 3 29:40

Oh, her first time? No,

Speaker 5 29:42

actually doesn't get that far.

Speaker 3 29:44

I don't remember. I know guards interrupt for some reason, but I don't remember why

Speaker 5 29:47

the fire starts.

Speaker 3 29:49

Explain this. I don't remember this part.

Speaker 5 29:52

This is so crazy.

Speaker 3 29:53

Well, the fire, we're literally on chapter

Speaker 5 29:56

two. I was like,

Speaker 2 29:57

oh no, this is chapter eight. This is chapter eight.

Speaker 3 30:00

Okay. Because

Speaker 2 30:01

Lacey read it today.

Speaker 3 30:02

I know. That's why we're getting such into depth of what, what's going on. Because every time I'm like, well, basically this is the dish. No,

Speaker 5 30:09

the words were court. Page

Speaker 2 30:12

three literally said,

Speaker 5 30:13

you don't understand him the way I do. Okay.

Speaker 3 30:16

I'm

Speaker 5 30:16

not fighting for him. Girl. Like you can have him. No, I'm sorry. I enjoy, Jon is

Speaker 4 30:21

actually,

Speaker 3 30:22

I think

Speaker 5 30:22

he's great.

Speaker 3 30:23

I'm not fighting for it.

Speaker 4 30:25

No. Um, I think because I think the, his, his shipmates start that fire and then they're trying to check on Olivia, and then

Speaker 3 30:34

he's like, well, I'm the ever king. I'm kidnapping you and taking you back. And she is like, uh, what? And he's like, yep. So jump out the window, or your little brother dies. Oh. And she is like, I guess I'm jumping out a window, but I really don't like you. And at least you hot. She's like, but I do think you're hot, but I really don't like you,

Speaker 2 30:53

God.

Speaker 3 30:54

But my body has these feelings

Speaker 2 30:56

if we jump out the window and like,

Speaker 30:58

oh, sucks later.

Speaker 2 31:00

Or,

Speaker 3 31:01

um, so then they, he's kidnapping her, they're leaving. Then her little brother comes up and he's like, he wants to be a guard when he's older. So he is like, I will fight you and kill you. Leave my sister alone. And he's like, he always

Speaker 4 31:11

like nine years old

Speaker 3 31:12

too. Yeah. And the ever king's like, um, tell your brother to stop or I will kill him. And she's like, um, please don't kill my brother. And so he's a

Speaker 31:22

9-year-old boy.

Speaker 3 31:23

Yeah.

Speaker 4 31:23

He like, she like tells him, just go, go run, go back.

Speaker 3 31:28

Doesn't he like knock him out or something, or No. The ever king.

Speaker 4 31:32

I don't remember. That's, and that's as far as I read

Speaker 2 31:34

today.

Speaker 3 31:35

Well, now, now guessing. Last

Speaker 2 31:37

read where, go back and

Speaker 31:38

then you're like, and I don't dunno what happened.

Speaker 4 31:39

Yeah.

Speaker 5 31:41

So on our next podcast episode, we'll continue. I was like, I can't

Speaker 4 31:46

just

Speaker 5 31:46

carry this whole thing. I don't know why you, you, you didn't even think I would've had read it.

Speaker 2 31:51

You were like, no,

Speaker 5 31:51

I did not, not think you had read it. Just telling you you're creating a story that's not true.

Speaker 2 31:57

Oh, am.

Speaker 5 31:59

I was just telling a funny story about these two and you were like, that's my favorite book. And I was like, that's awesome. You're like, you were like, you've never read this and you're never going to,

Speaker 32:11

I believe Lacey's story.

Speaker 5 32:13

I know where you sleep.

Speaker 4 32:14

I was like, how many times has been like, I don't want anyone to have read it so we can get all of the

Speaker 5 32:20

zero times. Zero

Speaker 4 32:22

times.

Speaker 2 32:23

I like, yeah, I was just putting on lip gloss.

Speaker 3 32:26

My

Speaker 2 32:26

lips were dry.

Speaker 3 32:28

Realize my backpack was

Speaker 2 32:29

right here. You can't fight the ever king if you ain't cute.

Speaker 3 32:33

So I'm pretty sure he knocks the, the 9-year-old out and then take Olivia back to a ship. They get in the ship, they, with all his shipmates, and they go, they, he's like, you're gonna have to hold onto me, or, you know, bad things are gonna happen. So she, she's like, I'm not gonna hold onto you. And then they go underwater and she's like, I have to hold onto you. And they go underwater. And then they travel to the ever kingdom and then they resurface and she's like, what the heck is going on? And he's like, you're my prisoner.'cause I'm torturing you and torturing your father, and I'm locking you in my, in the captain's cabinet. She's like, oh, is that all

Speaker 33:05

okay? Oh no, I have to be locked in The captain.

Speaker 3 33:08

Yeah, in the Captain Gavin, please. Not super

Speaker 5 33:11

high.

Speaker 3 33:12

And she literally is locked in there for, I don't know, three days or something. And she's like, it's so confusing because like said he was, he wants to kill my family and I should hate him, but also he's hot. She's like, he's

Speaker 4 33:25

not

Speaker 3 33:25

done

Speaker 4 33:25

anything

Speaker 3 33:26

yet. So

Speaker 2 33:27

confusing. Get off the floor. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 33:31

And, um, his, I don't know if she, she's his first mate or something. The um, Celine, I bet she Celine. Yeah.

Speaker 2 33:38

Like every time Lacey knows something she goes,

Speaker 3 33:41

Celine, I know. She so aggravated with me. I read this book once and it was, she said it was fine.

Speaker 2 33:48

It

Speaker 3 33:48

was fine.

Speaker 2 33:50

I just, like, I, you, you almost like look away as if you like. Celine, like, not that anyone cares, but her name's Celine.

Speaker 3 33:56

You're like,

Speaker 4 33:57

no one else. Wait. Because Celine is not technically okay. He has like three first mates because he is like, these people are all like semi special. I sure

Speaker 3 34:04

has one person. He's like, we are

Speaker 34:05

all special. Our

Speaker 3 34:07

the only girl, she's the

Speaker 4 34:08

only girl, the

Speaker 3 34:09

only woman on the, the crew. Her name is Celine.

Speaker 34:11

Okay.

Speaker 3 34:12

And she's like, I'm a woman on a crew, but I have to fight for my spot, so I'm gonna act like a man and wear pants and I don't wear dresses. And I'm like, I have knives and I stab people. Sure. And she,

Speaker 4 34:22

she's like, you know, I'm only gonna reveal myself to the men I kill at the very last second. So I can see in their face that they got beat best by a girl.

Speaker 34:29

Oh, okay. I was like the Irish pirate queen.

Speaker 4 34:32

Yeah.

Speaker 3 34:32

Yeah. And she comes into, she's like, oh my God, Eric's making me take care of you because we both have boobs and. Well, she literally says salad. I, she, we both have boobs and, um, and Olivia's like, um, maybe we could be friends. And she's like, no, gross.

Speaker 34:52

I like her. I think I like Sha.

Speaker 3 34:54

You would like SLE. And, um,

Speaker 5 34:58

poor Olivia.

Speaker 3 34:58

I feel like something else happens. I don't know. There's. Definitely moments in the cabin where Eric comes to be like, all right, this is the deal. And she's like, no, I'm not gonna be a prisoner. And he is like, you are grow. Literally dark growl eyes darken.

Speaker 5 35:13

Oh, to

Speaker 3 35:14

shove you against the wall. You're yard. He's like,

Speaker 5 35:16

jaw

Speaker 35:16

Kind of T touches.

Speaker 3 35:16

Yeah.

Speaker 35:17

Lala cool.

Speaker 3 35:18

Pooling in the core. Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 35:21

The pooling in the core. Ah, yes. Right. So that all too familiar. Oh my god, my core. He growled so

Speaker 2 35:29

embarrassing

Speaker 35:30

for both

Speaker 2 35:31

of them, honestly. Like I just very embarrassed for both of them, especially him, because it's like, just do it. Then dude, like, what are you playing around with? Wait, why

Speaker 3 35:41

are you?

Speaker 2 35:42

He's like, oh yeah, well, I'm like super gonna torture you now. You know? And she is like.

Speaker 35:46

This is my personal

Speaker 2 35:48

perception of it. And then he like leaves and he's like, I think I really scared her. But then he's like thinking about her all night, like he's on his diary, like so like Olivia and Eric. And then he's like, do you think like he goes to sleep? And he's like, so like, does she say anything about me? And then he goes back and he's like, and, and I am not even kidding about the torturing part. No. And I'm gonna do it. And she's like, well, why don't you? And he's like, I am. I am gonna, that's what I think has happened.

Speaker 3 36:15

That's exactly what happen. Right.

Speaker 5 36:18

Did you read it? I thought you read it.

Speaker 2 36:19

Yeah. So then what happens is,

Speaker 3 36:22

um, but for some reason, uh, Sali or Olivia, I think it's just'cause he is like, if you're gonna be on this ship, you're gonna work. Yeah. So she gets assigned to help the cook. Okay. Who is

Speaker 5 36:33

Treasure Island? Yes,

Speaker 3 36:34

I know. That's all I thought. I was like, and he is like, he is this, he can't speak properly.

Speaker 5 36:41

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 36:42

Um, he speaks in like, he's like foxes, foxes run through holes and, and jumping into the stars is like how he says things.

Speaker 4 36:51

The, well, the character from Trusts of the Emerald seat. But then I realized when I read that,

Speaker 5 36:56

oh,

Speaker 3 36:56

sorry.

Speaker 4 36:56

Hoy, it's really

Speaker 2 36:59

giy, it kind of gives Hoy from trusts of the Emerald seat.

Speaker 4 37:01

Oh yeah,

Speaker 3 37:01

yeah, yeah. I see that. Mm-hmm. Um, and she, but she does end up being like, I kind of like this guy and the cook that is Yeah. The cook. And she's like, we kind of get along and he does want, she starts to understand his, the strength way he talks. Oh, nice. And he kind of warns her about things. Oh, he sees her, um, he. Uh, talisman, uh, burn essentially. And he is like, warns her in his language, like, don't let the other, um, foxes see it or something like that, essentially.

Speaker 37:34

Fascinating.

Speaker 3 37:35

Um, and then it feels like

Speaker 37:37

parts to the Caribbean a little bit. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 37:39

And then, um, something happens and, yeah. You guys didn't even talk about part I made just realized. Go ahead. Talk about the drink Life. Spark notes. What happens next? This drink

Speaker 2 37:52

I drink

Speaker 4 37:53

was so good. I

Speaker 2 37:53

think we all,

Speaker 4 37:55

it was blue.

Speaker 3 37:56

It

Speaker 2 37:56

it like the ever sea

Speaker 4 37:57

don't have though,

Speaker 2 37:58

right?

Speaker 4 37:59

Uh, yeah.

Speaker 2 37:59

The idea.

Speaker 4 38:01

The idea, it was the idea. Maybe it's more ness to it than bright, dark

Speaker 2 38:05

blue. Like a dark, scary,

Speaker 4 38:06

really dark originally. Yeah. I liked the color.

Speaker 38:10

Color, you know, was saying that it should have been more like blood in the water or something. I should, I should have taken that my, I just, I didn't want it to be like the last, the last drink that we did, I was like, it's gonna get repetitive if we keep doing water and blood.

Speaker 4 38:23

But water and, and blood is like. So great.

Speaker 38:27

Anyways,

Speaker 3 38:28

I forgot to

Speaker 4 38:28

say

Speaker 38:29

we were, Villa also had water and

Speaker 5 38:30

blood part. That's

Speaker 3 38:32

why I made it like just saying, when they like went under water in the ship from the other place, he's like, you're gonna have to kiss me if you want air.

Speaker 5 38:39

Oh

Speaker 4 38:40

yeah.

Speaker 3 38:40

She was like, no. And he was like, fine. Then you'll just die without air. Except for Faye can't die. It's just really painful. Like with, they can't die from not having air. Um, it's just really painful. And so then she's like, oh, okay. I guess I'll kiss you this whole time. All stricken to air,

Speaker 4 38:56

but I

Speaker 3 38:56

don't think I hate,

Speaker 4 38:57

but it Was there a thing where she was a little bit different because she's half human?

Speaker 3 39:01

She's like a little

Speaker 4 39:01

bit, no,

Speaker 3 39:02

not her. Her mom. Her

Speaker 4 39:03

mom.

Speaker 3 39:04

Not like other Faye. Um, oh, wait, no, she is, her mom is low

Speaker 4 39:09

human. Her mom's fully human.

Speaker 3 39:11

Okay. Then yeah, she is half human and that's why she had to kiss him, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Because regular Faye could go through, but she's half human. Um, I'm

Speaker 39:19

trying

Speaker 4 39:19

to remember, what is this?

Speaker 39:21

Sorry, everyone has to hear me suffer. I'm trying to plug in my computer.

Speaker 5 39:25

Can some, you could ask for help actually,

Speaker 39:28

no, I didn't want to. I didn't wanna interrupt you guys. And then I realized that groaning into the, is probably gonna be distracting.

Speaker 5 39:35

Um, so

Speaker 4 39:36

you might see live birth if something sees on her knees or much.

Speaker 2 39:42

Oh my God, it's happening right now. What? Is he live birth? Are you plugging in your computer theater

Speaker 39:50

such a

Speaker 5 39:50

trouble

Speaker 39:51

maker? If my water broken? I was like, I think we can probably still finish this episode because I would,

Speaker 5 39:57

you would, you really would.

Speaker 39:58

I really, really, really would. Oh my God. What fun distractions This has been.

Speaker 3 40:04

I don't even remember this book. Let's stop here. And boom.

Speaker 40:08

Right after I got back with the charge,

Speaker 3 40:10

I remember this next book that something happens. No, something happens

Speaker 4 40:14

at some point

Speaker 3 40:16

that they, they go to an island, one of his islands. Mm-hmm. I'm sure I'm skipping apart. One his

Speaker 4 40:22

islands.

Speaker 3 40:22

Okay. They end of that, one of his, well he's, he's the king of the whole ever sea and made up of islands.

Speaker 4 40:28

Right, right, right, right, right.

Speaker 3 40:28

They go to the one of the islands and Andia sees, sees That's

Speaker 2 40:34

clock that he's the king of the sea and it's made up of Islands. Islands. Okay. Ghost. He's standing on being the king. Okay. Sorry.

Speaker 5 40:44

Anyways,

Speaker 3 40:46

um, they ended up on one of the islands and he's like, then he. Torture someone for some reason. Totally. And she's like, that's horrible. But I kind of get it and it's a little bit hot.

Speaker 4 40:54

Yeah.

Speaker 3 40:54

Um, and then, then she

Speaker 4 40:55

has like this dark little I inside.

Speaker 3 40:57

Yeah. She's also always

Speaker 4 40:58

like, I kind of like

Speaker 3 40:59

monologuing in her brain where she's like, I'm kind of,

Speaker 4 41:02

I kinda wanna do that to some, I want to hurt someone actually like that. Like, and she's like, I kind wanna hurt him, but like,

Speaker 3 41:08

she's like, I've always been good, but maybe I'm bad. Maybe. Yeah.

Speaker 2 41:11

I like how they're both say this, what a great combo for, she's

Speaker 3 41:14

like, I've always been good, but maybe I wanna be bad. And then they're at this island and she sees the plague essentially that's plaguing the island and killing them. And she's like, she just touches it. She's like, I wonder like what this is. And she feels this darkness is, I like, ah. But she has earth magic essentially. And she ends up making this flower grow. And he's like, how did you do that? How you fix it? She fix, it's like, I just touched it. Like. You know, it's what I do bra. And he's like, well do it again. And then she does it again. And he is like, oh my gosh, she's the cure to my,

Speaker 5 41:44

she's going to

Speaker 3 41:45

thank you my broken heart. Save everything. He is like, can you do all this? And so she works really hard and then he, she was like almost falling over'cause she's exhausted and then he holds her hand and then she gets all this more power and she goes on more.

Speaker 5 41:57

Oh my

Speaker 4 41:57

God.

Speaker 3 41:57

Um, and then they both finished and they just lie there paning, because it was

Speaker 4 42:03

not that kind though.

Speaker 5 42:06

They just finished

Speaker 4 42:06

their task. I

Speaker 2 42:07

got the image. Yeah. Their task. Mm-hmm. Wow, this is crazy.

Speaker 4 42:11

And, uh,

Speaker 3 42:13

this is a very accurate representation of this book. I think I'm getting it up

Speaker 2 42:18

tough.

Speaker 4 42:18

I'm feeling

Speaker 3 42:19

lost that I, okay, so

Speaker 4 42:20

the end of goal,

Speaker 3 42:21

like you, he missed some vital inform I might have.

Speaker 4 42:24

I go to his, the kingdom or to like the, in like the pa like where she goes. Oh,

Speaker 3 42:28

they go to the, it's the only one bed. It's the only one bed they go to in first. No. So not, I mean, but,

Speaker 42:34

but, but,

Speaker 3 42:37

so they go to the Inn because he has to talk to this, not Narva, not what's her name?

Speaker 4 42:43

Navarra.

Speaker 3 42:44

Navarra. Maybe n Long. It's like the Sea Witch. He's like, oh my gosh, I have to, to talk to her. The Sea Witch, ugh, Ural, I hate talking to. And everyone's like, don't you not ever wanna talk to her again? And he's like, yeah, but I have to, what are they?

Speaker 5 42:57

Exes?

Speaker 3 42:58

And so.

Speaker 5 42:58

Something similar.

Speaker 3 43:00

Okay.

Speaker 5 43:01

But not at all.

Speaker 3 43:03

It's literally not at all. Wait. Oh, okay.

Speaker 5 43:05

I was like, wait, now I'm scared. You have a history. Is she his mother closer family? There's no incest in this book. Okay. There's a lot of other stuff, but not that.

Speaker 2 43:16

That's where we draw the lines. Good

Speaker 5 43:18

in. Sounds good. Remember that

Speaker 43:20

season that was just all about insect? Yeah.

Speaker 2 43:23

So people definitely thought we did that on purpose, I'm sure

Speaker 43:26

for some reason. Sure. It just kept happening. That was

Speaker 2 43:28

so bad.

Speaker 43:29

This isn't that. This is everything but that.

Speaker 3 43:31

So he goes to this place where there's this inn and he goes up to talk to Naza if we're saying the name correctly, and he's like, she might be the cure aunt to this. And she's like, she clearly hates him. And he clearly is like, you made my life horrible. And he is like, whatever, grandmother. And then leaves, ah.

Speaker 5 43:50

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 43:51

And um, then he goes back down to find, he had left a couple of the shipmates and, um, Olivia downstairs at the tavern. And at the tavern was a me man. Um, okay. Siren. Siren. There's a difference, I guess. Oh,

Speaker 4 44:06

there is a

Speaker 3 44:07

difference. Um, who was singing, uh, and he entrances Olivia and she's just like, I wanna have sex with you now. And everything and anything. She's

Speaker 4 44:16

so hot.

Speaker 3 44:17

And he and Eric comes down and he's like, what are you doing? And he's like, I'm gonna kill you. Leave her alone. And then he's like. Get her away. Lock her in this room because she's just horny as can be now. And he is like, don't worry, I'll calm her down. You sure will. Sure will.

Speaker 44:36

This, we have to save her from her own ny

Speaker 3 44:39

lock himself in the room with her.

Speaker 44:41

Oh. When he be

Speaker 5 44:43

borderline

Speaker 44:44

like incredibly

Speaker 3 44:46

clothes. I want you inside of me.

Speaker 44:49

So convenient. Wow.

Speaker 3 44:52

What

Speaker 44:53

people, I can calm her down. Eric. Eric

Speaker 4 44:56

is not calm for sure. We'd not consider him a calm presence.

Speaker 45:00

Oh my God.

Speaker 2 45:01

No. I have not been getting that image from him.

Speaker 3 45:04

And, um, do they actually, I don't think they actually have, I don't think they have

Speaker 4 45:08

actually get all the way there. No,

Speaker 3 45:09

they

Speaker 4 45:09

get pretty close.

Speaker 3 45:10

They don't get all the way there.

Speaker 4 45:11

I think he gets some sort of conscience.

Speaker 3 45:14

Yeah. So kind

Speaker 4 45:14

of like does he kind, he really wants her to like him, but also he's also like, but you can't.

Speaker 3 45:20

Also, I still have to kill your father, torture you and kill your father.

Speaker 2 45:24

He doesn't know what he wants. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 45:25

Well, it's like your father killed my father and I must avenge my father. So, um, and he's like, but does he kill the siren? Or he is just like, I will kill you if you ever do anything. I feel like he kills the siren. I

Speaker 45:37

feel like he kills

Speaker 2 45:38

him.

Speaker 3 45:39

Um,

Speaker 45:39

I mean, why not?

Speaker 3 45:41

So then that's fine. He can kill him. He found out

Speaker 45:44

probably. Why not?

Speaker 3 45:45

I think he's,

Speaker 45:46

he's like a torturer, so like,

Speaker 2 45:48

I don't think he really like cares. Yeah. I

Speaker 45:51

can't imagine why he wouldn't.

Speaker 2 45:53

He's like, you know, I love torturing, but I draw the line at Killing Mermaid. Exactly. I seduce my beloved,

Speaker 46:01

who I can't

Speaker 3 46:01

even

Speaker 46:01

admit is my beloved.

Speaker 5 46:03

Like,

Speaker 3 46:03

so then they go to and we're like missing a huge character this whole time that's been there that we haven't mentioned

Speaker 5 46:09

Larson.

Speaker 3 46:10

Is that his name?

Speaker 5 46:11

Yeah.

Speaker 3 46:11

Okay.

Speaker 46:12

Larson. Larson.

Speaker 3 46:13

Lars is one of his. Yeah, because Tate Larson, Tate is his half, or his cousin Tates. His cousin

Speaker 46:18

Larson does not feel like he belongs in

Speaker 3 46:20

his, so Larson, Larson is uh, one of his ship, it's not shipmates, his crew.

Speaker 46:27

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 46:27

It's

Speaker 3 46:27

like one of Tate,

Speaker 4 46:28

his main crew.

Speaker 3 46:29

Yeah. And Tate is one of his main crew people.

Speaker 46:32

And I, Larson and Eric are really bad names for characters in this book.

Speaker 3 46:36

Well, it's very Viking s

Speaker 46:38

they really

Speaker 3 46:39

pulled into the vi

Speaker 4 46:40

It's that, so like they're pirates, like they have, but like everybody who's. In the like Earth world is very Viking coated and so then there's some overlap if it like it makes sense within

Speaker 2 46:55

Worlds. That's I got from the

Speaker 3 46:56

Sea.

Speaker 4 46:57

He is, but she pulls a lot of Viking like Well, the Vikings

Speaker 2 47:02

were ocean fairs. Yes.

Speaker 4 47:03

And they were pirates essentially. Like they did loot and

Speaker 3 47:08

everything and stuff.

Speaker 2 47:09

I mean, Larson is still kind of a Dweeby name though.

Speaker 3 47:11

It's still very Dwe. Well, there might be a reason.

Speaker 2 47:14

Is he a dweeb?

Speaker 3 47:15

There might be a reason. Is

Speaker 2 47:17

is he gay? Well, let's explain the,

Speaker 3 47:19

see

Speaker 47:19

all gay guys are dweebs. We all know that. Listen, all four of my brothers,

Speaker 2 47:25

okay. I feel like I speak from experience, I speak for the gay.

Speaker 5 47:29

I'm not trying to put you

Speaker 2 47:30

guys

Speaker 5 47:31

in a box, but I mean

Speaker 2 47:34

she's like, oh, he is gay.

Speaker 5 47:35

Out to ca,

Speaker 47:36

cj, Patrick, and.

Speaker 2 47:38

Oh my God.

Speaker 47:39

Well, I dunno. I said like, are they tweets? And you were like, no, but it was like there was something else.

Speaker 5 47:45

I

Speaker 3 47:45

like what else could be going on? Bad tweets. You're good?

Speaker 47:48

Yeah. Wait, so what is going on? Tell me. He's,

Speaker 3 47:51

I can't tell you yet. My god.

Speaker 5 47:54

Gay.

Speaker 3 47:54

It's literally the end of the book reveal. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 47:57

All right, well then what else happens after do this?

Speaker 3 47:59

I feel like I'm over it already.

Speaker 2 48:00

I'm not over it. I just want us to keep going.

Speaker 3 48:03

Um, so yeah, there's Tate, which is his cousin, and we find out somewhere around now, like in the middle-ish, that he and his cousin used to be really close.

Speaker 5 48:14

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 48:15

Okay. And now they're not.

Speaker 3 48:17

They're not because

Speaker 2 48:18

you are not invited to my birthday party, Kate.

Speaker 3 48:20

Well, he still,

Speaker 2 48:21

everyone else in the crew is invited. Not you.

Speaker 48:22

Not you.

Speaker 2 48:23

I didn't even wanna come to your stupid birthday party, Eric.

Speaker 48:26

God, you're the worst.

Speaker 5 48:27

Well

Speaker 2 48:28

all you do is like torture people and I see that every day anyways. It's like not fun.

Speaker 48:31

Yeah. Besides you were totally adopted.

Speaker 2 48:32

Stupid ass birthday party give a shit. That's what Tate's saying.

Speaker 48:37

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 5 48:37

So Tate's,

Speaker 2 48:38

me and Larson are gonna hang out and they're like, okay, Larson wasn't invited either.

Speaker 48:43

Larson's gay. So

Speaker 5 48:45

Lar is actually homophobic my gay

Speaker 48:48

friend. Okay.

Speaker 5 48:51

Sometimes I remember that you guys are just like, your whole picture of this book is from the words outta my mouth right now.

Speaker 48:58

I like this world that we're drawing together.

Speaker 5 49:01

I really, yeah. Like

Speaker 49:02

I can't wait to meet my

Speaker 5 49:04

day. Best friend m Sorry,

Speaker 3 49:05

lj.

Speaker 2 49:06

Sorry, lj. Okay, so what's going on?

Speaker 3 49:10

Yeah, somewhere around the middle we hear that, um, Tate and, uh, Eric, our cousins, and they used to be really close, but Tate's father, so Eric's uncle raised Eric M. Tate after Eric's father was killed. And he was like, you have to be brutal because the like every. Every ever king ever has been brutal. Mm-hmm. Absolutely brutal.

Speaker 5 49:34

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 49:35

And so he was like, well, your dad's not here to torture you and make you become brutal, so I'm gonna torture you and make you become brutal. Oh. And part of the way I'm gonna torture you is by torturing your cousin who you like, who's my son. Um, and

Speaker 4 49:48

that's a lot of trauma.

Speaker 3 49:49

And, uh, until you do what you should do.

Speaker 4 49:52

Yeah.

Speaker 3 49:52

So Tate's like Tate has been tortured by his own father in order to make Eric a hardened king, that's really, they're bad. Then you found a little bit of a distance between

Speaker 4 50:02

them. Time, he's like, yeah. He goes, maybe he's upset that his father was killed and that he suspects me. He would be right.

Speaker 3 50:10

Oh

Speaker 4 50:11

yeah, because

Speaker 3 50:12

Eric

Speaker 4 50:12

killed

Speaker 3 50:13

his uncle,

Speaker 4 50:13

his uncle,

Speaker 3 50:14

good Tate's father.

Speaker 4 50:15

And so he's unclear if Tate knows that and he thinks that's the reason Tate is like mad with him and they don't get along.

Speaker 2 50:22

Dang, this is a lot,

Speaker 3 50:24

you know, I, it's a lot of family trauma. I'm

Speaker 2 50:25

sorry Tate, that I was too hasty.

Speaker 3 50:28

And at some point you also do find out, which again, I don't know where we are in the book anymore, you find out that his grandmother, um, za, who was the sea witch,'cause she's like the essentially kind of the

Speaker 50:40

why did you gesture to me?

Speaker 3 50:42

You're just the sea witch. The sea. So grandma, the sea witch,

Speaker 5 50:47

which part are you offended about

Speaker 3 50:50

the sandwich? I honestly don't know. Um, so the islands also have their own clams kind of thing? Yes. And there's like the island of like warriors and the island, the island of the sea witches is also the island of the like sirens and mermaids too. Um, and she, his grandma is kind of like the ruler of the sea witches, but they all answer to Eric Blooding. The ever king?

Speaker 5 51:17

Yes.

Speaker 3 51:18

Okay. Uh,

Speaker 2 51:19

Lord, there's blood. The

Speaker 3 51:20

ever king. It's

Speaker 5 51:20

like Lords

Speaker 3 51:21

and Lis. Yeah. Yeah. They're lord. So his grandmother is like the lady of, they're like

Speaker 5 51:24

nobility

Speaker 3 51:25

of the island of mist, I

Speaker 5 51:27

feel

Speaker 3 51:27

like. Yeah, I get

Speaker 5 51:28

it.

Speaker 3 51:29

Um, and so you find out essentially that he is, or she is his grandmother on his mother's side and she kind of abandoned him when his mother died to his brutal father. Yes. And what

Speaker 4 51:48

actually was his fault?

Speaker 3 51:50

Yeah. Yeah. So you find out, you find out in this book I still think too.

Speaker 4 51:53

I think

Speaker 3 51:54

so. So that, um, what happened was, what happened, what happened was, is that in order to make him brutal, his father was like his father poisoned himself and his mother with Eric's blood and was like, you only have time to sing one of us back to health Choose. And his mother was like, save your father. I, am I saying that right? No. Am I not? There was a reason that he saved his father instead of his mother. So he's like, I killed my mother.

Speaker 2 52:31

That's pretty bad.

Speaker 4 52:32

I dunno.

Speaker 3 52:32

He thinks he killed his mother because he chose his father over his mother. But there was a reason, and I feel like it was his mother was like, um, save your father or something, even though. Yeah. Well that's

Speaker 5 52:46

a lot

Speaker 3 52:46

of,

Speaker 5 52:46

lot of trauma

Speaker 3 52:47

for little Eric. Yeah. And so his, uh, his grandmother is like, you're gonna grow up to be your father. Mm-hmm. And so I'm abandoning you because you're horrible, just like your father.

Speaker 2 52:58

Okay.

Speaker 3 52:59

And so they don't, that's bad. He is like, you abandoned me. And I was tortured by my father and uncle and she's like, well, you are gonna be them anyway. You're a little shit. So, um,

Speaker 2 53:09

wow. What a great time we're having in the ever seasons.

Speaker 3 53:12

A really, a really robust family.

Speaker 4 53:15

Is this also. The book where Olivia Loki has really bad anxiety and he's like teaching her to breathe.

Speaker 3 53:23

Yes. Because,

Speaker 5 53:25

sorry, a girl's a sucker for the mental health

Speaker 3 53:28

part where she's like,

Speaker 4 53:29

I'm having a panic attack. And he's like, just breathe.

Speaker 3 53:31

And yeah, she has panic attacks and he's like, you are Olivia fierce warrior of this. And he gives who like queen of the overseas this and that,

Speaker 5 53:40

that is,

Speaker 4 53:41

or I'm like, oh. Because then like, there's like a whole part where he is like, she, she. Well, we'll get to that.

Speaker 53:47

Okay. Mental health support is absolutely disgusting. Listen, the second Amanda is like, just take a deep breath. I'm like,

Speaker 3 53:54

take

Speaker 53:54

a deep breath.

Speaker 3 53:55

He doesn't say,

Speaker 5 53:57

okay. It works

Speaker 3 53:59

for them. Like he's like, you are. He's like in a calming voice like you are Olivia. You are Olivia crosser of ever world's. And I would say like Heal flowers. I

Speaker 54:12

would be

Speaker 3 54:12

like,

Speaker 54:12

I

Speaker 3 54:12

fucking

Speaker 54:13

am. I Thank you. I already know that it's almost fucking useful.

Speaker 5 54:17

Come on. That's a good thing. You're not Olivia. Like

Speaker 3 54:19

he's

Speaker 2 54:20

Ash. He's really hot. So it is the thing,

Speaker 3 54:22

yeah, you have to remember that.

Speaker 2 54:23

Like keep that in mind. Like

Speaker 54:26

Eric,

Speaker 4 54:27

you're really hot. He also, wait, he also has a limb. We didn't talk about that. Oh yeah. This is a limp.

Speaker 3 54:31

He

Speaker 4 54:31

has

Speaker 3 54:31

a limp.

Speaker 4 54:32

He's like, and he's, and

Speaker 3 54:33

he's like, I can't let people know because Yeah. Then they'll, they'll take advantage of it being

Speaker 4 54:37

tortured.

Speaker 54:38

Yeah. I would,

Speaker 4 54:38

yeah,

Speaker 3 54:39

essentially. So he got, when he got, when he got captured

Speaker 4 54:42

Oh

Speaker 3 54:43

no.

Speaker 4 54:44

Is that he got back,

Speaker 3 54:45

when he got captured, he, um, tried to escape and he like fell, fell out, uh, like several stories and broke his leg.

Speaker 4 54:55

Oh, that's sad. Being a different one. I think

Speaker 54:58

I just would not, I just can't get over this. I would not take any sort of mental health comfort from this guy.

Speaker 2 55:07

Torture over here.

Speaker 55:08

Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, um, you need to go to therapy. You go talk about your childhood and your, your weird limp that you don't tell anyone about and you go deal with all that crap before you come over here and you're like, you're a badass girl. Like, I know.

Speaker 3 55:21

I remember what happens next. So then, and you go deal with yourself, Eric. So then they go, oh my God. He's like, okay, we're gonna go now. We're gonna go back to my island and I'm gonna claim you.

Speaker 5 55:34

What?

Speaker 3 55:35

And she's, because I protect, because she keeps getting attacked. She

Speaker 5 55:39

keeps trying, said,

Speaker 3 55:41

attacked. He

Speaker 4 55:42

keeps

Speaker 3 55:42

getting attacked. You guys. If he has and he claims her and is like not in like it, just like that, I have to marry you. So that way everyone knows your mind and

Speaker 4 55:51

he can't touch you.

Speaker 3 55:51

Well

Speaker 4 55:52

it

Speaker 3 55:52

take you away from, it's not marriage, but Yes, but it's not. But it's like he is like, because we're pirates, when we take the plunder, we split it among each other. Yes, he is like, but because I'm the captain, I get to like. Pick the best. And so I'm gonna be like, I picked her.

Speaker 2 56:06

Yeah.

Speaker 3 56:06

I'm keeping this for myself.

Speaker 2 56:07

Oh, so she's property

Speaker 3 56:09

now? Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2 56:11

Great. I like it. And I love that.

Speaker 5 56:12

I like it.

Speaker 3 56:14

So he's like, we're going back to, we're going back to my island, like with that,

Speaker 5 56:21

that far. Mental health support. Absolute. That's the line. Oh my

Speaker 2 56:26

god.

Speaker 56:27

Listen, you can claim me. I'm down with that. Honestly. That's pretty sexy. I get it. Like we're all,

Speaker 2 56:33

I don't wanna

Speaker 56:34

eat,

Speaker 2 56:35

but

Speaker 5 56:35

tell me to breathe.

Speaker 56:37

But how, how fucking dare you, you think I haven't been therapy too. God, fix yourself, Eric.

Speaker 2 56:43

And I think I would still be stuck on, so I saw you torture a guy to death and I didn't really like that, you know? No, I feel like you, you would really like Tate, to be

Speaker 4 56:54

honest. Like the cousin. Oh yeah. I, I feel like's

Speaker 3 56:58

like, kind of quiet and just like he looked helping out. He's scared because he's blonde.

Speaker 4 57:03

Is everyone's dark? Because he looked, they said he basically looks like Eric except he's half a head taller and he's broader than Eric.

Speaker 3 57:09

Okay. I'm in.

Speaker 4 57:10

So, you know, he's a little

Speaker 3 57:12

blonde. I think Jon is blonde, doesn't he?

Speaker 57:15

I like my GBF Larson, I think. Yeah. What's up with Larson? What's Larson doing?

Speaker 3 57:20

Um, Larson is just like being a crew person. You know, first

Speaker 4 57:26

mate

Speaker 3 57:26

Speaker 2 58:02

Gay people can be evil too.

Speaker 58:04

You know? I know that they do it with such flair. They do it with such flare.

Speaker 3 58:10

Um, so they go, they go back and like, oh yeah. We also haven't mentioned, we also haven't mentioned that Eric Inger the ever king. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Um, he, like, he's kind of having a hard time controlling all of his subjects. They're all like, we're not sure we respect you. We're not sure that you like to torture people enough.

Speaker 2 58:31

Oh,

Speaker 3 58:32

they're really, they're like, your dad was, I was really murderous. And you're like, only mostly murderous.

Speaker 2 58:38

I think I'm changing my stance. I think I'm pro land now. I I was too hasty to be pro C at the beginning of this. Should I be pro, have a guy? Is there other territories we can do?

Speaker 3 58:51

That's a Lacey question because

Speaker 4 58:53

I haven't read those books. There's, there's lots of territory. There's basically a whole like continent. With different things and then the continent gets basically thrown up in the air and shuffled. She gets so

Speaker 3 59:02

quiet and cute when it, I know. She's like, so this is really serious. Let me guys focus. Tell me about this.

Speaker 4 59:08

So you guys

Speaker 2 59:09

know it gets shuffled. Okay. But like he had to because otherwise,

Speaker 5 59:15

look, there's just a lot of really, it's honest. Okay.

Speaker 2 59:19

I think the world building is very interesting. It's really cool guys. No, I'm into it. You don't bragging on it like I'm not,

Speaker 59:26

yeah, we just want you to be more proud of all of the knowledge that you have.

Speaker 2 59:29

Stand up tall, you know? Well actually shuffled it did

Speaker 59:34

just

Speaker 3 59:35

breathe.

Speaker 5 59:36

Go

Speaker 3 59:36

girl.

Speaker 5 59:37

Like

Speaker 3 59:37

our Lacey have her joke teller funny. One time. One time had

Speaker 5 59:43

pneumonia. I was fricking hilarious. Oh

Speaker 3 59:47

my God.

Speaker 5 59:48

Un joke. Pneumonia.

Speaker 3 59:50

So he's like, I'm working back to the, the capitol and I'm gonna claim you. And also it's a little bit dangerous for you'cause everyone wants to kill you. And everyone isn't like super big fans of me, even though I'm really torturous, I'm just not torturous enough. She's like,

Speaker 4 1:00:06

we're

Speaker 2 1:00:06

so a tor.

Speaker 3 1:00:06

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 1:00:08

Kind of.

Speaker 3 1:00:08

And they like get out and she's like, I'm kind of scared. And he is like, it's all right. I have to hold your hand. Um,

Speaker 2 1:00:13

it's just like, because we like have to

Speaker 3 1:00:15

like, yeah. So like walk up the steps of the capitol and he is like, I'm just like, this way people know your mine. Um, and also like you feel safer and then, um, you're gonna go to your room and they're gonna make you all pretty in a wedding dress, which isn't actually a wedding.'cause we don't do weddings. We just do these like cleaning ceremonies. Thank They're different. Uh, yeah, they're different.

Speaker 2 1:00:34

Uhhuh. This is what he was doing when he went back to his cabin and was riding in his

Speaker 3 1:00:38

wedding. He was in an A line I think like, yeah. Blood red.

Speaker 2 1:00:45

Blood red. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 1:00:46

So they're like, they, they, she comes to the claiming ceremony and she's like, up, up there. Where are we

Speaker 5 1:00:53

getting in the book at this point?

Speaker 3 1:00:54

Like somewhere orders

Speaker 5 1:00:55

towards, okay.

Speaker 3 1:00:56

Yeah. But is this, did

Speaker 4 1:00:58

they go through the claiming ceremony before or after she gets attacked in the chambers.

Speaker 5 1:01:02

Which

Speaker 3 1:01:02

chambers?

Speaker 4 1:01:03

She gets attacked in, I think it's the palace, because there's the garden and she's out in the garden.

Speaker 3 1:01:09

Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 1:01:09

And she's trying to, that's

Speaker 3 1:01:11

that she gets attacked afterwards, I think.

Speaker 4 1:01:13

Okay.

Speaker 3 1:01:13

Yeah.

Speaker 4 1:01:14

I didn't know if that

Speaker 3 1:01:14

was like the trigger for

Speaker 4 1:01:16

claiming

Speaker 3 1:01:16

No, no. The claiming was before that. And so then, because he's like, we're doing this claiming ceremony, and then, um, she's like, they've already fucked.

Speaker 5 1:01:27

I'm trying to remember when they,

Speaker 3 1:01:28

I don't remember when it happens either. When did

Speaker 4 1:01:31

Eric

Speaker 3 1:01:32

and Olivia? I don't think yet.

Speaker 4 1:01:35

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:01:35

cause here's what, what happens? She comes up to the wedding claiming ceremony and he's like. This is Olivia Ferris. She is the ever queen, and everyone's like, there's never been an ever queen. Ever queen. Yes. Gasped.

Speaker 5 1:01:50

Whoa.

Speaker 3 1:01:51

They're like, we take concerts.

Speaker 5 1:01:53

There's never been the title

Speaker 3 1:01:54

of an ever queen. And he's like, she is my equal. I'm having a throne made. That's the same as mine.

Speaker 5 1:01:59

Okay. Because there's this big thing about like no one sits on the ever

Speaker 3 1:02:02

King's throne. Mm-hmm. Because then like no one's above him. And he's like, no, she will be the same as me. She'll be my equal. This is' my ever queen about. Yes. And she's like, what? He was

Speaker 1:02:12

writing like so like fan

Speaker 2 1:02:14

fiction about

Speaker 1:02:15

this. Exactly. He's like, and I'm gonna make her my ever queen.

Speaker 3 1:02:19

And everyone's like, um, no. We hate this, so we're gonna kill her. And you

Speaker 1:02:23

Oh yeah. It seems very bold.

Speaker 2 1:02:25

Move when everyone already

Speaker 3 1:02:26

hates you

Speaker 1:02:26

politically. This felt like a bad move. It was

Speaker 3 1:02:28

politically a, a very horrible move.

Speaker 4 1:02:30

Maybe he

Speaker 1:02:30

shouldn't be the kid

Speaker 3 1:02:32

because then he has like a meeting with the Lords and Ladies Counsel, heart bond.

Speaker 4 1:02:38

What? He needs to

Speaker 1:02:39

go back to Polystar. Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 1:02:40

They always talk about they're being

Speaker 4 1:02:41

drawn to each other and they have a heart bond.

Speaker 3 1:02:43

They have a heart bond.

Speaker 4 1:02:44

So it's like, so I hate. Oh, I don't like it.

Speaker 3 1:02:46

I, that's, I hate the soulmate thing.

Speaker 4 1:02:48

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 1:02:49

Um,

Speaker 2 1:02:51

I could be down with it.

Speaker 4 1:02:52

They have sex in chapter 44. Don't clearly know what's happening in chapter 44. They don't have, are we in chapter four? In chapter

Speaker 2 1:02:58

44? They

Speaker 4 1:02:59

sex? Oh, actually, sorry. Yes, they did. Because in 43 they were about, no. Yeah. I feel like

Speaker 3 1:03:04

this is soon after

Speaker 4 1:03:06

Queen. They a slow burn for what?

Speaker 3 1:03:10

It,

Speaker 4 1:03:11

half a slow burn.

Speaker 3 1:03:13

But she's essentially at some point back in the room, and then she goes out to the gardens because she likes to make the flowers grow. And then these assassins come and like try and kill her. And then he's like, no. And then he gets almost killed. And then, oh man. They like,

Speaker 4 1:03:28

no, because he goes through the door and he's attacked first.

Speaker 3 1:03:31

Sure. And okay,

Speaker 4 1:03:33

the guy comes in, Larson comes in, and Tate and Larson both, not they, not the assassin, but they come and hear them and then. Olivia is basically not as hurt'cause she kills the guy using her plant magic. Okay. The assassin that was on her.

Speaker 3 1:03:47

Yeah. Because he had been like, whatever, like way earlier in the story, he is like, you should never, you should never not kill someone. Yeah. Like you should use your magic and kill people. Yeah. And she was like, should I? And he's like, yes.

Speaker 4 1:03:58

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:03:58

And so then she's like, okay, I guess I'm gonna do it this time now. Yeah. She kills. Yeah, because,

Speaker 4 1:04:04

because,

Speaker 3 1:04:05

and then

Speaker 4 1:04:05

because they called a

Speaker 3 1:04:07

I know, but the, yeah, that's what I'm saying. They, when he gets attacked, he's like almost dead. And so they call the doctor, which is the only doctor trained in healing him because he has this blood that can kill you if you like, it touches you.

Speaker 2 1:04:19

Oh, that is,

Speaker 3 1:04:19

and so this doctor is drunk off his ass and so he can't come and heal him

Speaker 1:04:25

medical malpractice.

Speaker 3 1:04:26

So that

Speaker 2 1:04:27

is off with his head. That guy's getting tortured later, so

Speaker 3 1:04:29

I'm sure he is. He actually gets a stern talking too.

Speaker 1:04:32

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:04:33

And he's like,

Speaker 1:04:33

torture.

Speaker 3 1:04:34

This is why everyone I

1:04:35

gonna

Speaker 1:04:35

say, is that torture?

Speaker 3 1:04:38

He gets a stern talking too,

Speaker 1:04:39

buddy.

Speaker 3 1:04:40

Um, but he, he heals slowly because of reasons I don't remember. But yeah, Larson and Tate come and they're like, oh no, I've claimed we have to, we have to save him. Well,

Speaker 4 1:04:51

and then they want, and Olivia's like, I can do it. And Tate's like, no, he's gonna be so mad if I let you work on him, basically. And risk your life. Because if they're,

Speaker 3 1:05:01

oh yeah.'cause they're heart bond.

Speaker 4 1:05:02

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:05:03

Y'all ain't even paying attention. We're, but y'all

Speaker 1:05:05

are

Speaker 3 1:05:05

arguing. Everyone

Speaker 1:05:06

is going on. Meanwhile, spoons gavee me a really fashionable breathing tube. That looks so good.

Speaker 3 1:05:13

So then ahead comes and then Olivia's like Larson, uh, Larson comes into Olivia's room later on when. When Eric's gone on whatever tasks with the ever ship and he's like, oh my gosh, Eric's been hurt. Come quick. We have to save him. And then she runs out with him and he is like, get in this boat. We're gonna go save him. He needs you. Oh no. And then she goes to get in the boat and Tate's like, what are you doing? And she's like, Eric's hurt. And he is like, no he is not. And God and Larson's like, I wish you hadn't come here.

Speaker 5 1:05:42

And then

Speaker 3 1:05:43

he kills Tate. No, no. But he doesn't actually kill Tate. We from that. Oh, they're bringing almost kills. TI

Speaker 5 1:05:49

was upset because

Speaker 3 1:05:49

Alex comes at some point.

Speaker 4 1:05:51

Lexi now?

Speaker 3 1:05:53

Already. Beforehand.

Speaker 2 1:05:54

No, I like

Speaker 4 1:05:55

because he comes in and she's like,

Speaker 2 1:05:57

my gay best friend is evil. Yeah, you your friend. Almost killed my husband. How dare you mess.

Speaker 3 1:06:05

And at some point before this, actually Alexi showed up her cousin and he was like, I came here from the, how does he get from

Speaker 4 1:06:13

he, he and Gavin? So we've forgot how Gavin. Oh

Speaker 5 1:06:17

Speaker 4 1:06:18

Gavin.

Speaker 3 1:06:19

Guys, I waiting

Speaker 2 1:06:21

for y'all

Speaker 3 1:06:21

to mention Gavin.

Speaker 4 1:06:22

cause Gavin this whole time, I think they actually have like, so something. Wait, Gavin, but she hasn't written their book yet, but it's cake.

Speaker 1:06:29

Wait,

Speaker 5 1:06:29

Gavin and who?

Speaker 4 1:06:30

Alex the cousin. So Olivia's cousins. There are the gay, there are, there are some dairy bike experie people. I don't

Speaker 3 1:06:37

think

Speaker 4 1:06:38

they're really, they're

Speaker 3 1:06:39

brilliant though.

Speaker 4 1:06:40

Kind of cute.

Speaker 1:06:41

I'm really sad

Speaker 4 1:06:42

about our

1:06:42

Wait,

Speaker 5 1:06:42

he's cute.

Speaker 1:06:43

All them

Speaker 4 1:06:44

literally. Okay. Literally one of the parents' soul is like Olivia's uncle and he has a partner concert who's uh, what's his name? Can't think of his name. Oh, okay. But they're also adorable.

Speaker 2 1:06:56

Oh, it's good for them.

Speaker 4 1:06:58

Gavin. Gavin is technically ever sea, but he can travel through water. Okay. So

Speaker 3 1:07:03

he just like turns into water.

Speaker 4 1:07:05

He's

Speaker 3 1:07:06

pop out of a sink or

Speaker 4 1:07:07

like, except all his kind have been killed off because it's too dangerous for them to be around.

Speaker 3 1:07:11

Yeah. But he's

Speaker 4 1:07:12

like busies with Eric and Eric.

Speaker 3 1:07:13

We also find out later that Gavin. Who we've never mentioned this whole time, but he's been there in an important, is the brother of Celine, the who is both the children of the cook, who used to be the Lord of one of the lands. But he pissed off Eric's uncle. And so Eric's uncle was like her murder for you. Murder for your children. Oh. And Celine also was a siren, but he, they were like, you can't be song can A So he took her voice,

Speaker 4 1:07:42

oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 1:07:43

And her siren song. Mm-hmm. And then killed her father. But actually Eric saved her father and he lives on the cook. Cook. Yeah. As the cook. The shit cook. And so no one knows about Gavin's, uh, magic.

Speaker 4 1:07:56

This is crazy.

Speaker 3 1:07:57

No one knows that Celine and her father are still alive. Yeah. Oh my God. Would you

Speaker 4 1:08:01

say that they're 80% cooked?

Speaker 3 1:08:04

Yes. Um, and so Gavin, that's creepy.

Speaker 4 1:08:06

I think he goes and gets, or somehow him and Alexi need. Oh,

Speaker 3 1:08:10

ga Yeah. Because Gavin goes to check what's going on on the earth side. Yeah. And he like gets on the other side of the water wall and Alexi's like waiting for one of the water fade to appear. And, and he like sees him and he like grabs him and then he gets yanked back.

Speaker 5 1:08:22

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:08:22

Into the overseas. And Gavin's like, I brought this thing with me and he's almost dead now because he was yanked through these waters that earth Fay can't get through technically Alex. And then, and then, uh, Eric's like, well, I gu I gotta save him because otherwise Olivia's gonna be all pissed at me that her cousin's dead and I didn't save. Oh my

Speaker 5 1:08:38

God.

Speaker 3 1:08:39

And then he saves him. And then Alex's. Ah, it's, you know, he is like, oh no, Olivia, has he been torturing you and raping you? And she's like, I mean, not raping me, but we even, and he is like, Ew, gross. I don't wanna know that, but I'm glad you're happy. And uh, he was like, I'll

Speaker 5 1:08:53

take your place. Take me instead. Don't, she wants

Speaker 3 1:08:58

everyone. Like, that's weird to say,

Speaker 2 1:09:00

but okay. Why?

Speaker 3 1:09:02

He was like, good for you. I don't prefer men,

Speaker 2 1:09:06

but I'm actually gab

Speaker 3 1:09:07

in

Speaker 5 1:09:07

my

Speaker 2 1:09:08

yo gab. Get over here. Where's Lar? She?

Speaker 3 1:09:14

And so yeah, Alexia is there and he's like, I'm so glad for you, Liv. Like you, you know, you met someone. I mean, he is trying to kill our family. And he is kind of like the evil prac king of the ever. He like, he's

Speaker 1:09:26

immediately supportive.

Speaker 3 1:09:28

See, but

Speaker 4 1:09:28

like the, the problem is almost every one of their parents in this group. That's, they had an enemy lover situation. So they're all, I think it's normal. They're all very used to this. Like, I hate you, love me. Like kind of,

Speaker 1:09:41

it's called what we call a generational

Speaker 4 1:09:42

trauma.

Speaker 5 1:09:43

Trauma,

Speaker 1:09:44

yeah. A generational curse. I

Speaker 3 1:09:46

only wish for a love like yours. Um, Alex's like, oh my god, he did what?

Speaker 2 1:09:52

It's romance. Aw. Just like mom and

Speaker 1:09:54

dad. Aw.

Speaker 3 1:09:56

Um, so yeah, then that happened before. And then Larson's like, uh, kill Tate and take Olivia and takes her away onto the ship.

Speaker 1:10:04

Oh my God.

Speaker 3 1:10:05

And then Eric's like, what the heck happened? Someone took my Olivia, I will burn all the worlds. Sure. Sexy Uhhuh. He's like, we're gonna go to the land, Fay and ask them for help. And then the book ends.

Speaker 2 1:10:16

Oh

Speaker 4 1:10:17

yeah.

Speaker 2 1:10:17

I like that. He's like, I'm gonna burn. I'll ask for help. Tap in

Speaker 3 1:10:20

hand.

Speaker 4 1:10:20

He's like, you know, he specifically is like, I know the only other person who's. Loves Olivia as much as I do, and it's her father. And I know her father will have the same like level of you

Speaker 3 1:10:31

have to meet Hank. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. Book two is to kill him. Yeah. Technically we could go on book two if you want, but

Speaker 4 1:10:38

that's the end of book one. Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:10:39

Wow.

Speaker 2 1:10:40

That was crazy. Do you, are

Speaker 3 1:10:43

you, wait,

Speaker 4 1:10:43

do we find out

Speaker 3 1:10:45

find,

Speaker 4 1:10:46

we find me really hard. Do we about book one or is that book two?

Speaker 3 1:10:50

I don't know. I can't, we can just say it if, if you

Speaker 2 1:10:53

want to tell us about book two, can I make a request that

Speaker 3 1:10:57

less details?

Speaker 2 1:10:57

Yes. Which I enjoyed the details. Don't get me wrong. Stop talking, but you know, I don't know. Double the time of this would be a lot.

Speaker 3 1:11:06

Yeah, I do think this would be, if

Speaker 2 1:11:07

we could half this time for book two, that'd be good. I would like to know what goes on.

Speaker 3 1:11:11

So we find out that Larson is um, actually Eric's half brother,

Speaker 2 1:11:17

right? Oh,

Speaker 3 1:11:18

his father.

Speaker 1:11:19

He's getting half brother.

Speaker 3 1:11:19

Older two

Speaker 1:11:20

obviously.

Speaker 3 1:11:21

Yeah, he's older. His father.

Speaker 1:11:23

That's crazy.

Speaker 3 1:11:24

His father slept with an elf, which we were like, what Elfs We thought they were dead, but apparently they've been on this secret island that disappears and reappears to save itself. Okay. And so that's where Olivia is taken by him to the elf place and Eric goes and he goes to the um, it looks like as shortest and quickest. I mean, they're all like

Speaker 4 1:11:44

Eric,

Speaker 3 1:11:45

right? They've all gotta be hot.

Speaker 4 1:11:46

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:11:47

She has long hair.

Speaker 1:11:48

Does Larson like Olivia's? It's like a weird like jealousy thing. No,

Speaker 3 1:11:51

no, no. Although he does definitely try and get some and then she's like, I stabbed you. He is like, bitch.

Speaker 4 1:11:58

Awesome.

Speaker 3 1:11:59

Um, and then Eric's like, and Jonas, you scratched her. Now I really have to murder You touch her, you die. Yeah. I think makes the bone. Doesn't she like cut off his ear or try and cry? It makes the bone. The bone

Speaker 4 1:12:10

crown. The bone crown from this one or the, from the book corner. Book two.

Speaker 3 1:12:13

Oh, it's in book two? Yeah. Um, it's a

Speaker 4 1:12:17

bone crown out

Speaker 3 1:12:18

his,

Speaker 4 1:12:18

out of her enemy's bones.

Speaker 3 1:12:20

Yeah.

Speaker 4 1:12:20

It makes her crown.

Speaker 3 1:12:22

Yeah,

Speaker 4 1:12:22

that's because

Speaker 3 1:12:23

he's

Speaker 4 1:12:24

Katie.

Speaker 2 1:12:26

I love this like manic, like Lacey gets, when she likes something, she goes,

Speaker 3 1:12:30

we're, we're literally gonna be on. It's gonna

Speaker 4 1:12:34

be on. She's gonna be like, you want me to do what?

Speaker 2 1:12:36

Tyler? You know what Lacey

Speaker 1:12:38

wants? Very

Speaker 4 1:12:39

simple. The amount of he, he has picked up a book and looked, he's like, we'll read it. And he's like, you, do you want me to talk like that? I'm like, absolutely not. No, thank you. I

1:12:49

read

Speaker 4 1:12:49

about it. I

Speaker 5 1:12:50

don't want you to talk like that. I kind do want

Speaker 4 1:12:54

actually,

Speaker 3 1:12:55

um,

Speaker 4 1:12:56

anyways,

Speaker 3 1:12:56

we have three options here real quick. Okay. I can tell you the second book, second week

Speaker 5 1:13:01

three. Um,

Speaker 3 1:13:02

I can tell you the second book on like triple time or we could stop,

Speaker 5 1:13:06

honestly, I, we could come

Speaker 3 1:13:07

back for a

Speaker 5 1:13:08

second episode.

Speaker 3 1:13:09

Well, we could, we could stop and then restart so people could listen to them in two parts.

Speaker 5 1:13:14

Oh,

Speaker 3 1:13:15

you know, we could just continue as we are, but other people could listen in two parts.

Speaker 5 1:13:18

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 1:13:19

Um, I forget the third option. So those your two options. Oh, okay. Oh, we, you can just not, or just not know about the second book.

Speaker 5 1:13:26

Oh, that doesn't

Speaker 4 1:13:26

feel like a real option. You can triple time it pretty good.

Speaker 3 1:13:30

Yeah, I do

Speaker 4 1:13:31

wanna, what happens?

Speaker 3 1:13:32

Are we just triple time here? Are we talking? Just tell me. Okay.

Speaker 4 1:13:34

Everyone wants

Speaker 3 1:13:35

to

Speaker 4 1:13:35

know.

Speaker 3 1:13:35

So Eric Blooding go with Alexi and his crew, go to the land, Fay, and they're like, Hey. And they're like, you kidnapped our dollars, we're putting you in jail. And he is like, no, there's no time. But they put him in jail anyway. And the dad's like, I'm gonna murder you. And he's like, no, if you murder me, then you can't save your daughter. And they're like, well, we have to convey this whole convene, this whole Faye council thing. And then the kids of all the Faye Council members are like, we're gonna sneak like Jonas and

Speaker 4 1:13:58

mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 1:13:58

Mira

Speaker 4 1:13:59

Jonas, Mira Sander Alexi.

Speaker 3 1:14:01

They're like, we'll sneak you out. We know what's best. So they sneak out Eric. And they get to the ship and like, we're going to the ever sea with you. And they're like, this is a cool adventure. All the royal kids. And so they go down into the water. Well, that's how it all starts.

Speaker 4 1:14:15

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:14:15

Yeah. And then meanwhile, Olivia's on this El island and she's like, ELs, what? I didn't know you exist. And I'm like, yeah, I'm, there's this one girl elf. And she's like, hi, I am really nice. But also I can't like tell you a lot. And there's this weird stuff going on her with like, clearly she's under some sort of like curse or dur or, or dur duress or something, you know. She's like, like I'm trying to tell you how to escape, but I can't tell you how to escape. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 5 1:14:38

And

Speaker 3 1:14:39

I'm like, what you have to do and I'm just gonna show you around the island, like things that maybe you should know about the island. Wink wink. Right, right. But I can't like see anything. And then, um, Olivia summons like the hall and there's this other elf, I don't remember his name. And he's like this big, scary, powerful. Fire elf. Either that or Larson's firepower. One of them is like, fire, I forget.

Speaker 2 1:15:01

Okay.

Speaker 3 1:15:01

And, um, and the girl's like, please don't make me do this. And they're like, no, you have to do this. And she's, and then she's like, okay, I am sorry. And then she rips out. Um, Lib's heart bomb. She like grabs her chest and then leaves this like physical and also very emotional, rips out the heart bond. At the same time, Eric's like on land. And he's like, oh my God. Ouch. Something's losing, torn apart. And their heart bond is ripped apart.

Speaker 2 1:15:26

That gets me.

Speaker 3 1:15:27

Um, and oh, I was thinking,

Speaker 1:15:28

I hate that.

Speaker 2 1:15:29

I like that. It's a tangible thing. You

1:15:31

can,

Speaker 1:15:31

oh, I hate that. It's a tangible thing that's upsetting.

Speaker 3 1:15:34

Oh, I like it.

Speaker 1:15:34

And how, how un how nonpermanent,

Speaker 3 1:15:36

that's when Larson, how

Speaker 1:15:37

nonpermanent.

Speaker 3 1:15:38

So then the elf girl that was like trying to help Olivia is like, now I am evil, blah, blah, blah. And she's like, whoa. She just like went totally a different berserk kind of way. I don't know what's going on. And then they send Olivia back to her room and Larson shows up and he is like, Hey, now that you, uh, hate my brother, you wanna do it? And she's like, um, no, I still love him. And he's like, well, that's not how this works. It's just not, it's not a. Word off yet that like, I'll give a couple hours that. And she's like, well, I'm gonna cut your ear off. And then he's like, you bitch and I, you'll pay for this. And he leaves, and then

Speaker 5 1:16:11

he'll pay for this.

Speaker 3 1:16:11

And then, oh yeah. This whole time, this whole time,

1:16:13

I

Speaker 1:16:13

told you

Speaker 3 1:16:14

this whole time, there was also this blonde sea witch sexy girl who showed up at the, like, capitol when Eric was like, I'm claiming her as my queen. And she's like, oh, excuse me. We had a thing. And he is like, no, you are nothing to me. Trash. And um, so she's on this island and she's like, she's on this island. And she's like, this is revenge. And she's, she's like, I'm actually really powerful. And she's doing all the magic on the island. And she's like, uh, Larson, why are you messing with her? Leave her alone. You're being dumb. Um, and you

Speaker 4 1:16:43

want me,

Speaker 1:16:44

she's like, I'm on a different level.

Speaker 4 1:16:46

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:16:47

Wow.

Speaker 4 1:16:48

She's into him too. Larson, she wants a brother. She wants,

Speaker 3 1:16:51

she just wants power. She's like, I wanna be the queen.

Speaker 5 1:16:53

Whatever she can get.

Speaker 3 1:16:54

And also the whole thing, like the whole thing is like in the ever kingdom, women have no power essentially. That's what I was like. And Olivia was like, that's crazy. You can have power. And she's like, shut up, bitch. You don't know how it is here. And then Olivia becomes the ever queen and she's like, okay, now it's really horrible. And she's like, no, I'm gonna be in power, but I'm still gonna be the consort of the king because like, that's as far as I can think. Yeah. Right. Um. And so then meanwhile Eric is like sends Gavin off to find Olivia and he pops out of her shower essentially and is like, Olivia, oh my God, where are we? And she's like,

Speaker 5 1:17:26

I love Gavin.

Speaker 3 1:17:26

She's like, listen, love here. What's going on? She's like, listen, here's what's going on. Oh, and also I was told by this elf girl that I can't get off the island because the island like has a magic that only if you're marked by a certain mark you can get on and off. And she's like, and I can't get off. And I tried, like I got close and I just felt like my body was being torn apart. Oh. And he's like, well, I can get you out, girl. And so they go and they fight a couple

Speaker 2 1:17:46

of us. Don't worry.

Speaker 3 1:17:47

They fight a couple of guards and they get to the edge. They get to the edge of the island and he's like, come on, let's jump in the water and I'll like take us back. And she like tries to, but she feels her body being torn apart

Speaker 2 1:17:56

and

Speaker 3 1:17:56

she's like, no. Then he ends up in the water and she ends up like stuck on the island still. And so he goes back to Eric and he is like, Eric, this is what's up. She's on this island with these elves and, and uh, brother and they tore out your heart bond, but she still loves you. And he is like, good. I still love her. Aww. So what's the

Speaker 1:18:11

point of the heart bond?

Speaker 4 1:18:12

It's

Speaker 3 1:18:13

just like basically can talk to each other in their heads and like, like an empathy link? Yeah.

Speaker 4 1:18:18

Or like they're just drawn together, like their future's intertwined.

Speaker 3 1:18:21

Wait, but then it's, so now their aren

Speaker 1:18:23

intertwined still,

Speaker 4 1:18:24

even

Speaker 3 1:18:24

without, they just love each other like normal people.

Speaker 1:18:26

Well, that should have just been it from the stars then.

Speaker 5 1:18:28

I know. I don't like that. Um, heart

Speaker 2 1:18:32

bond, couch

Speaker 1:18:34

normal.

Speaker 5 1:18:35

I really like a good mix of both. Yeah. Like, Hey, I've been talking to you this whole time, and the people over here, like Kendall is my audience. I'm listening.

Speaker 1:18:45

I like to talk to myself. Ash keeps going. Like,

Speaker 5 1:18:49

that's stupid. Har hard one

Speaker 1:18:52

gross.

Speaker 3 1:18:54

So then Eric and all the kids of the of the land kingdom are like trying to figure out how to find this mysterious, disappearing island. And then who shows up? But Olivia's father and she, he's like. Olivia's father and his number one warrior. And who knew Eric? We found out earlier, he was like,

Speaker 4 1:19:12

yes, Steve.

Speaker 3 1:19:13

When, when he was stealing Olivia, he saw Eric and he was like, don't do this, Eric. Like, he called him Eric instead of like ever king or blood saying whatever. And he was like, I can't da, da da. And so we find out he was imprisoned with him originally in the, like the Faye Wars when Eric was imprisoned as a kid. And he like protected him, pre protected Eric.

Speaker 4 1:19:34

Oh. And he really wanted to adopt Eric.

Speaker 3 1:19:37

Yeah. He was gonna adopt Eric.'cause we also find out that, um, Eric's okay, do you know this part better than I do? Eric's father and like the, how he got killed and all that stuff. Yeah. The whole thing was he stole, he like supposedly stole a land Faye woman. Um, and then that's why the land, Faye started war with him essentially. Oh, Helen of Joy. And then,

Speaker 1:20:02

so then Eric was like, me too. I think

Speaker 3 1:20:04

he took. And then Eric just became like a casualty of war essentially by one of the other clans, not Olivia's father. And Olivia's father and his warrior were like, no, this is just a sweet boy. If we raise him, he can be a sweet kid.

Speaker 5 1:20:20

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:20:21

And he was like, Eric, you can stay with us and we'll like, we'll raise you as my own child. Whoa. And Eric was like, I can't have to take care of my people as like a child. So he was like, I have this responsibility.'cause his father was dead.

Speaker 5 1:20:34

Yeah.

Speaker 4 1:20:34

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:20:35

So he went back and then later on he is like, as through as the story progresses, he's like, I guess he would've actually raised me as like his father. And maybe my life would've been better if I just stayed chose. But I, like I had to go back to my people.

Speaker 5 1:20:48

Same super, super

Speaker 3 1:20:49

traumatic. And then he tortured by my uncle.

Speaker 5 1:20:50

Yeah. And then your people hate you language. He was so great when he came back. Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:20:53

Yeah. And throughout the second book, he kind of releases the idea of like, I have to be my father in this brutal killer. Which

Speaker 5 1:20:59

I didn't like.

Speaker 3 1:21:00

No, I did not like, because. Because he just gets real soft and it's like, you're like, where's the Eric? I know I,

Speaker 5 1:21:08

you're not the Eric

Speaker 4 1:21:10

inter introspective.

Speaker 3 1:21:12

I don't like it.

Speaker 1:21:13

You're like, the Eric I knew would never so.

Speaker 4 1:21:16

So

Speaker 3 1:21:17

you take s questions later. Um, and he is like, Hmm, maybe like there are other ways around

1:21:24

this.

Speaker 4 1:21:24

He would like thin the story of Jonas and Sanders's parents because he, they do not turn. He is like, yeah, dude, I'm the keno. But actually I was once a thief. Always a thief.

Speaker 2 1:21:35

I love

Speaker 3 1:21:35

that.

Speaker 4 1:21:35

Once a, you know,

Speaker 3 1:21:36

um, and so, okay, turn it. So then her Olivia Olivia's, uh. Father comes down and shows up with his right hand warrior man. And he is like, so you stole my daughter and then you stole all these, um, royal children of the land and you just expect us to like not start a war with you. And he is like, well, kind of. Yeah. It's for Olivia. He's like, I get it.'cause I love her. So he's like, I'm here with you. Let's do this. It's a temporary truce. Okay. Later I'm still gonna murder you and you're gonna murder me. But temporary truce. Sure,

Speaker 5 1:22:07

sure.

Speaker 3 1:22:08

Uh, for Olivia, because everyone loves Olivia. So then they figure out how to find the island. This actually does happen really quick in the story. Yeah. It is like, oh, by the way, here's how we find the island. Now let's plot how to get on the island. Okay. And now we're on the island. And now, um, we're fighting on the ship. Larson and Eric are fighting on the ship and um, Olivia is on the island and it did skip a little bit, but can't, because

Speaker 4 1:22:34

I useful in this book, I think Eric can't get onto the island. I feel like there was

Speaker 3 1:22:38

Oh. Because they figure out there's only one like Lord that can get one person who's not an elf that can get on and off the island. And it's says Lord and it's his Lord of war. And he ends up being like the one who's been also betraying him. And the mark that's on them is actually marked onto his collarbone. Oh. Like engraved in, like in his collarbone. Because there's a Faye that has a gift of like. Through your skin essentially. Yeah. So he murders him and tears out his collarbone and then they like wear his collarbone to get into the,

Speaker 5 1:23:09

well let's just giving

Speaker 3 1:23:10

onto the islands

Speaker 5 1:23:11

oh's, just giving shadow and bone.

Speaker 3 1:23:12

Um, and then, so yeah, and then they're like, well, is El are always whole

Speaker 5 1:23:18

book.

Speaker 4 1:23:19

She's

Speaker 3 1:23:19

fighting, she's being kidnapped. And then she Scotty who? Scotty?

Speaker 4 1:23:24

No, sc Skatey. Scotty.

Speaker 3 1:23:26

Oh, that's it. Oh, the girl.

Speaker 4 1:23:28

Yeah,

Speaker 3 1:23:28

the girl out.

Speaker 4 1:23:28

cause she's like fighting her, but she's also like, but I don't think she's actually bad. Like she's really confused. She's like, I don't wanna hurt you, but Oh, you're being controlled by, it is her brother, her brother's like, you have to marry this guy.'cause it's the for the good of the elves and like blah, blah, blah. And like then she's also being controlled by her brother is the big mean elf.

Speaker 1:23:47

So Olivia

Speaker 3 1:23:49

is mean. That's not her brother. That's who she has to marry.

Speaker 4 1:23:51

I thought she's

Speaker 3 1:23:52

marry. No, that's who she has to marry.

Speaker 4 1:23:53

There's somebody who's controlling her though,

Speaker 1:23:55

so

Speaker 3 1:23:55

she has to marry because her grandfa, her father or grandfather is sick. Well, like her grandfather's sick and then they kill her

Speaker 4 1:24:03

grandfather. This is

Speaker 3 1:24:03

all fine. Yeah,

Speaker 1:24:04

yeah. I'm just really, Olivia is just like girl coaching her new elf friend.

Speaker 3 1:24:10

No, she gets rescued. She gets rescued and then they're like the, they're gonna keep coming after him. We have to do something about Larson. So then they all go back to the Elf Island. This happens really quick. Eric fights Larson on the ship because the other ship comes out. Olivia goes to the island and she's like, I'm gonna destroy the island and free the elf girl. And the, she like fights the elf girl. And they, that's when you find out that like her grandfather's sick. And then also the elf girl's power is something, I forget exactly what it is, but it makes her, um, oh, she can manipulate magic. She can like manipulate matter. Um, and so, but when she uses it, like she uses it for evil, it makes her doubly evil. If she uses it for good, it like makes her good. And so she use it for evil, but it does wear off. Like, depending on how mom, she basically

Speaker 4 1:25:00

goes up

Speaker 3 1:25:00

upset. So she has to wait for it

Speaker 4 1:25:01

and

Speaker 3 1:25:01

yeah, she doesn't care. So anyways, she sounds like being Olivia fights Olivia and they like take over the elf thing. And then

Speaker 4 1:25:08

her dad,

Speaker 3 1:25:09

Eric kills Larson, her dad. Her dad. That's crazy. Your own brother. Her dad has earth magic too, and he's just like, he's like massive destroyer of earth magic. So he's just there like bringing up volcanoes and stuff on the island to just like kill everyone and they win. They live happily ever after.

Speaker 2 1:25:29

Oh my God.

Speaker 3 1:25:29

Um, and then they're like, actually her dad's like, actually you're not that bad. I see how much you love my daughter, um, truce. And he is like, yeah, totally truce. So now there's,

Speaker 2 1:25:38

he just, he just ends his mission to kill him.

Speaker 3 1:25:41

Yeah. And so now there's like trade between both lanes and everyone's happy.

Speaker 2 1:25:45

I guess that works out. Did you have anything to add?

Speaker 3 1:25:48

She's like, we skipped a lot. I was like, that was very fast the

Speaker 5 1:25:52

way we

Speaker 3 1:25:53

went

Speaker 1:25:53

through that. I'm impressed. I was like, I, that, that was good.

Speaker 3 1:25:57

Please. I, me,

Speaker 1:25:59

I That's what you did. Look at her direction at all. You were like, on Kendall, I got this.

Speaker 2 1:26:04

I feel like

Speaker 3 1:26:05

so favorite characters and least favorite characters.

Speaker 2 1:26:07

My favorite character is gotta be Gavin. Um, least favorite character. Um, uh, LAR Larson Boo. I hate him.

Speaker 1:26:22

Rip my GBF.

Speaker 2 1:26:23

Um, I also think that perhaps I would have hated Eric at the beginning.

Speaker 1:26:30

You. I think you would've hated Eric at the beginning. Well, as

Speaker 3 1:26:33

Eric at the beginning, I did not appreciate him.

Speaker 1:26:35

That's exactly what I

Speaker 2 1:26:36

would predict. I think when I start seeing his tragic backstory, that's when I soften. Yeah. You know, as I'm expected to, I think. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1:26:44

I was fascinated by him. And then he was like, you're a girl boss girl. You got this breathe. And I was like, I'm never so turned off. There's my,

Speaker 2 1:26:52

I can see how this would be good. Lacey. I'm with you.

Speaker 1:26:56

She

Speaker 2 1:26:56

okay.

Speaker 4 1:26:57

Like she needs me.

Speaker 2 1:26:58

It's hurt. Needs for my purse

Speaker 1:27:01

thing.

Speaker 2 1:27:01

Yeah. And they meet each other. No, I get it.

Speaker 1:27:05

I, she has his own stuff he needs,

Speaker 2 1:27:07

but I think they're both crazy.

Speaker 4 1:27:08

Yeah. I mean, for sure. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 1:27:09

I think she's insane.

Speaker 4 1:27:11

What would romance ask you? A little bit of nuts, I guess.

Speaker 1:27:13

So

Speaker 4 1:27:14

blood play,

Speaker 2 1:27:15

little blood play.

Speaker 3 1:27:16

Blood play.

Speaker 2 1:27:16

Would you be your favorite, least favorite characters?

Speaker 1:27:19

I don't know. God,

Speaker 3 1:27:21

you've had so

Speaker 5 1:27:22

much time to think about

Speaker 3 1:27:23

this.

Speaker 1:27:23

I, we could think of anything. I have no idea. You

Speaker 3 1:27:26

could

Speaker 1:27:26

do

Speaker 3 1:27:26

favorite least favorite parts if you'd want to.

Speaker 1:27:28

Yeah. You do. Parts feel equipped to do that. You kidding? Least favorite part. Okay. Um,

Speaker 3 1:27:34

least favorite part when you told her how to breathe. Honestly,

Speaker 1:27:37

that's what I was gonna say. It's like I understand, but that's ridiculous and petty. It's the first moment he's shown true humanity as far as I know. And I'm like, now I have the like, absolutely.

Speaker 2 1:27:49

You like, Ew.

Speaker 1:27:51

Gross.

Speaker 2 1:27:52

Okay. What's

Speaker 1:27:53

your

Speaker 2 1:27:53

favorite part?

Speaker 1:27:54

Bone

Speaker 3 1:27:55

crown.

Speaker 1:27:56

It likes the bone ground a lot. I did like the bone. Oh yeah. It's

Speaker 3 1:27:59

made out of Larson's bones.

Speaker 1:28:02

My GF

Speaker 3 1:28:03

No Larson. Uh,

Speaker 5 1:28:06

favorite.

Speaker 3 1:28:06

Least favorite Charact. Well, I feel like I can't

Speaker 4 1:28:09

even, like my favorite character in the series is Jonas, but like, we didn't,

Speaker 1:28:16

oh my God.

Speaker 4 1:28:16

Jonas is just like, Kay, okay. Like Riddick,

Speaker 1:28:21

Aw,

Speaker 4 1:28:21

he's kind of like the Riddick character, but more. Zaden esque.

Speaker 1:28:25

Ooh.

Speaker 4 1:28:26

And I'm using Fourth Wing a lot, but,

Speaker 1:28:28

and Zaden esque ly,

Speaker 4 1:28:29

like, because he's like, because he has shadow Ma, or not really shadow dark, like dark magic where he can turn nightmares into real things. Like basically put nightmares into your head and scare you to death is like his thing. That's, but he is also kinda like, but I'm maybe a boy toy and like, I kind of like sleep on and I make lots of jokes, but I also really love, like all my, they all the kids quote unquote kids, they're all ages like 19 through like 25.

Speaker 1:28:53

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 1:28:54

They all, their family grew up together. So like all their parents are married so they're more like cousins and nobody within the group has like a thing. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:29:01

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 1:29:01

So they're actually all friends and like,

Speaker 1:29:03

so he's just like a really good friend,

Speaker 4 1:29:05

really good friend Olivia. And like

Speaker 1:29:07

That's so sweet. I do

Speaker 4 1:29:08

like that. And then his brother, if I'm like, I cannot wait for his brother's book'cause he might be a little freaky too. So. Might be Freakier. Oh freakier. Than Eric Freakier. Than Jones. Is Jonas Freakier than her? He's a little freaky. Like, I mean, not like Jonas

Speaker 2 1:29:22

seems more, uh, well adjusted.

Speaker 4 1:29:24

Yes. Jonas had loving parents. Yeah.

Speaker 5 1:29:27

Jonas seems like he's

Speaker 2 1:29:28

just like, I don't think I like to sleep around. I

Speaker 4 1:29:29

don't. And he's also like, he's, he grew up with parent, he grew up with a, with the parents who's like, I was a thief and like always a thief and like, I'm kind of cool. And his dad Loki has dyslexia. So like, I don't know, there's like this vibe,

Speaker 2 1:29:41

but special yoga means my

Speaker 4 1:29:43

dad Loki has dyslexia.

Speaker 2 1:29:45

So

Speaker 1:29:46

that, that generational trauma caused by your parent having Loki dyslexia

Speaker 5 1:29:52

at home, you know,

Speaker 1:29:53

poor Riley. What's my son gonna do? His father's color blind think he's gonna be okay.

Speaker 5 1:29:58

He'll be like Josh.

Speaker 1:30:00

But now I'm worried. I'm even more worried. Oh my God. I don't

Speaker 5 1:30:04

have the least favorite character

Speaker 3 1:30:05

though.

Speaker 1:30:06

You like, I like everyone. Talking book two then Larson unfortunately has to be my least favorite. Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:30:13

Book two. My least favorite is the Bad Elf.

Speaker 1:30:17

The

1:30:17

the

Speaker 1:30:18

the

Speaker 3 1:30:18

guy? Yeah, the guy. The guy. Oh know, I liked the, we didn't spend a

Speaker 1:30:20

lot of time on that one.

Speaker 3 1:30:21

Although the, because he doesn't really have that big of a thing. He's just a big bully. Like

Speaker 1:30:27

Oh

Speaker 3 1:30:28

my favorite is the cook Silver. Yeah. And it very, it is very long. John Silver like vibes

Speaker 4 1:30:36

Well, but'cause he also at some point stop stalking in riddles.

Speaker 1:30:40

I feel like Celine should get an honorable mention because she's very clearly based off of the Irish Pirate queen. What is her name? Why can't I remember?

Speaker 3 1:30:48

Um, it's,

Speaker 4 1:30:50

I

Speaker 3 1:30:50

know Bonnie. Oh. And she ends up,

Speaker 1:30:52

well I think that's one of'em. There's two

Speaker 3 1:30:53

with one of the crew mates in the end with one of the crew in the end who's like had a crush on her the whole time.

Speaker 2 1:30:58

Oh, good for her.

Speaker 4 1:31:00

Grace O'Malley.

Speaker 2 1:31:01

Grace O'Malley.

Speaker 3 1:31:01

Yeah.

Speaker 2 1:31:03

Thank you.

Speaker 3 1:31:04

Um, how many pinkies up? Five. Wait, what? Wait, what are the lessons we learned?

Speaker 2 1:31:09

The lessons I learned, um, were definitely

Speaker 4 1:31:13

always go to ma grade ball.

Speaker 2 1:31:14

Oh,

Speaker 4 1:31:15

sorry.

Speaker 2 1:31:15

Or, or never. Or

Speaker 3 1:31:17

never,

Speaker 2 1:31:18

never initiate with anyone because they might be trying to torture you to death and kill your dad.

Speaker 4 1:31:26

That is

Speaker 2 1:31:26

fair. Um, that's fair. Then what else have I learned? Um, you know, don't judge a book by its cover. You know, he might just be acting this way because as a child, his uncle tortured his cousin and then also tortured him in order to make him a more Ruth ruthless king.

Speaker 4 1:31:45

Yeah.

Speaker 2 1:31:46

And like, you don't know anyone could have that going on. And it's really like we need really's.

Speaker 1:31:52

Really practical advice

Speaker 2 1:31:54

whenever we meet anyone and,

Speaker 1:31:55

um.

Speaker 2 1:31:56

What else? Um, you never know

Speaker 1:31:58

someone's story.

Speaker 4 1:31:59

What? You said you never

Speaker 2 1:32:00

know someone story.

Speaker 3 1:32:01

You

Speaker 1:32:01

never know

Speaker 2 1:32:02

what someone's story. Exactly.

Speaker 1:32:05

I'm concerned that you guys are making real lessons.

Speaker 3 1:32:08

I know. I was like, Lacey's over here. Like, guys, these are the actual details of the book. This is a real lesson. These take this seriously. Please.

Speaker 2 1:32:16

You guys, this is serious. You never know that could have been happening to someone

Speaker 1:32:19

serious. That could have been happening.

Speaker 2 1:32:20

Uh,

Speaker 1:32:21

don't don't judge mass torturers.

Speaker 2 1:32:24

They

Speaker 1:32:24

probably had a reason. Listen, they probably have

Speaker 2 1:32:29

you guys, you don't understand. He's unique. Don't get drunk on the

Speaker 3 1:32:32

beach.

Speaker 1:32:33

Never.

Speaker 4 1:32:34

Don't touch a wall.

Speaker 2 1:32:35

Never touch any wall. Underwater. Underwater.

Speaker 3 1:32:37

Don't

Speaker 2 1:32:37

touch underwater.

Speaker 1:32:38

Um, but I can get drunk on the beach. I just, not just as

Speaker 2 1:32:42

the rest of them were drunk, but they didn't touch the underwater at

Speaker 1:32:44

all. Okay. Solid. Excellent. Because I was like, that is a primary hobby. That's gonna be a problem.

Speaker 2 1:32:50

Um, there's, there's. There, there's too many to name. All these lessons I've learned today, so many lessons. Um, you know,

Speaker 1:33:01

I can't believe I can't come up with a single.

Speaker 3 1:33:03

I can see your brain working so hard. You, you're like, I got, okay. Maybe if, uh, I gotta have learned something,

Speaker 1:33:11

I gotta have learned something. Oh my God.

Speaker 2 1:33:13

Always be kind to the little Faye, um, child imprisoned.

Speaker 3 1:33:19

I have, I

Speaker 2 1:33:20

was gonna

Speaker 1:33:20

say the cook,

Speaker 2 1:33:21

but you know, he might end up

Speaker 3 1:33:23

okay.

Speaker 1:33:23

Being a really sexy king,

Speaker 2 1:33:26

the teacher.

Speaker 3 1:33:26

Also, you never know if one of your friends might actually be your half sibling trying to murder you.

Speaker 2 1:33:33

Oh my God, your half sibling. That happens. It's like truly.

Speaker 3 1:33:38

So like, just look out that your friends, about your friends, like if they look suspicious,

Speaker 2 1:33:43

don't trust anyone similar

Speaker 3 1:33:44

to you.

Speaker 4 1:33:45

Question it.

Speaker 2 1:33:46

Yeah. Yeah. I would basically don't trust anyone or do anything, go anywhere.

Speaker 4 1:33:50

Yep.

Speaker 2 1:33:51

I live by that.

Speaker 3 1:33:53

That's low key

Speaker 5 1:33:53

part of the plot of the, there's no touches on the top.

Speaker 2 1:33:57

Yeah. Just don't do anything ever, ever do anything or go anywhere. That's kind of what I learned. I think mostly

Speaker 3 1:34:04

favorite quote, anyone? Did

Speaker 2 1:34:05

anyone say your favorite quote? My favorite quote was when, um, Eric said, um, he was doing the, like, you know, uh, Mr. Eric Land Fay, like when he was writing down in his, yeah. I really liked that part. I,

Speaker 1:34:21

I liked his inner dialogue when he was like, yeah, I totally scared her this time. Yeah,

Speaker 2 1:34:26

she's

Speaker 1:34:26

definitely scared

Speaker 2 1:34:27

now. She's like really scared of me.

Speaker 1:34:29

She's totally scared.

Speaker 2 1:34:30

Totally bugging out.

Speaker 1:34:32

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 1:34:32

So did she say anything?

Speaker 1:34:34

So like,

Speaker 2 1:34:35

what was she saying

Speaker 1:34:35

about you? You said, did she say anything about me when you were in there, Celine? She's like,

Speaker 2 1:34:39

yeah, that's fine. And I didn't think she was,

Speaker 1:34:41

because I wasn't actually thinking about her either. I kind of forgot about her. Oh,

Speaker 2 1:34:44

I forgot she's even in there.

Speaker 1:34:46

Her who? Who, what, what? Olivia.

Speaker 2 1:34:47

Oh God. Yeah.

Speaker 1:34:49

Oh, right, right, right, right, right.

Speaker 2 1:34:51

Yeah. He's very embarrassing the more I think about it. But he's

Speaker 1:34:54

incredibly,

Speaker 2 1:34:56

I guess you

Speaker 1:34:56

probably have describe him, the less attracted I find him. I'm you just a simp with a lot of trauma, I

Speaker 2 1:35:03

think. Like he turned into that. I'm so sorry about that. Um, not scary and dangerous. And unique.

Speaker 1:35:10

And unique. What else is unique about you?

Speaker 2 1:35:13

Yeah,

Speaker 1:35:13

unique and special. Uh,

Speaker 3 1:35:15

quick mention is that he does like reconcile with his grandma too. She's like, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you to your father's torture. You're actually a good boy. Oh,

Speaker 2 1:35:22

well

Speaker 3 1:35:22

that's nice.

Speaker 1:35:23

Well, but he is not, I get the whole family. He's a mass murderer church or.
