Bonus Episode: Prepotente's Secret Skit - A Parade of Horribles · The Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted

• 0:00
  Welcome back to the Apocalypse Will Be Podcasted,
• 0:02
  a podcast where we overanalyze every chapter
• 0:05
  of Dungeon Crawler Carl like it's a college thesis
• 0:07
  written during a nervous breakdown. We talk theories,
• 0:10
  character arcs, dungeon nonsense, and all the
• 0:12
  moments that made us laugh, panic, or just sit
• 0:14
  there staring at the wall for a while. We are
• 0:17
  a big feelings podcast, so expect plenty of emotional
• 0:20
  damage, character breakdowns, and way too much
• 0:23
  discussion about things that probably were not
• 0:25
  meant to be analyzed this hard. Sorry, Matt.
• 0:28
  This is a full spoilers podcast covering all
• 0:31
  released books, including the Pineapple Cabaret.
• 0:33
  So if you're not caught up, now's your chance
• 0:35
  to turn back. You've been warned. Okay, so this
• 0:38
  is a first for us, and this is an episode 2 .0.
• 0:42
  And the reason that we're doing that is when
• 0:46
  we released our spoilers episode for A Parade
• 0:50
  of Horribles, it was before the book had actually
• 0:53
  been released, and we did not have the audiobook
• 0:55
  version yet. re -read it since finishing it uh
• 1:00
  when the last chapter dropped on patreon in february
• 1:04
  well our memory was a bit fuzzy well if i go
• 1:07
  into just things that i've forgotten we're going
• 1:09
  to do another 45 minute episode and i am not
• 1:12
  trying to do that today so we are just going
• 1:14
  to highlight some stuff from the audiobook yes
• 1:16
  we forgot so much though oh my god oh my god
• 1:18
  which is why i love these books because you get
• 1:19
  to read them again and again and be like oh my
• 1:21
  god i forgot about that oh that's so cool i'm
• 1:23
  gonna pick that out there were entire sections
• 1:24
  of this book i forgot like The cocaine for minors
• 1:28
  with an E and O. I did forget that part. Yep.
• 1:32
  Yep. Okay. So what did we want to cover in this
• 1:35
  special episode 2 .0? So we wanted to talk about
• 1:38
  some things that really were highlighted in the
• 1:42
  audio book. And I think everyone knows what we're
• 1:45
  going to talk about. Yeah. And that's chapter
• 1:47
  57. Yes. And chapter 57 is the karaoke chapter,
• 1:52
  correct? It is. While it is insane, and I can't
• 1:57
  believe that Jeff Hayes did that, and it's a
• 1:59
  total mindfuck to listen to, I'm really glad
• 2:04
  that I have more than one way to read the book.
• 2:06
  Yeah, definitely. If I'd had to read that trying
• 2:08
  to absorb the information that happened in that
• 2:11
  chapter, I think that my ADHD would have exploded
• 2:15
  a little bit. Like listening to it? Yeah, but
• 2:18
  I have a hard time when there's music and people
• 2:21
  talking. That's really rough for me. Yeah, no,
• 2:23
  it is. If we're like watching something and then
• 2:25
  like I have a video that came up on like my newsfeed
• 2:28
  or something where he's like, turn it off, turn
• 2:30
  it off. I can't focus. No. And actually unpopular
• 2:33
  opinion here. I couldn't do sound booth theater
• 2:35
  at all. It was too much for me. Yeah. So the
• 2:39
  karaoke chapter is fantastic. I love that Jeff
• 2:43
  actually sung and it was done very well. And
• 2:47
  I saw this post on Facebook a couple weeks ago
• 2:50
  where somebody was like, I think that Matt. wrote
• 2:53
  this book just to fuck with Jeff while he was
• 2:55
  doing his voice recording. And I don't think
• 2:58
  that's true. I don't think Matt wrote this book
• 3:00
  any differently than any of the other books.
• 3:02
  I think that Jeff and the people at Sound Booth
• 3:04
  Theater just decided that they were going to
• 3:06
  go extra hard with this one. And Jeff, I think,
• 3:09
  had a fantastic time doing this and really went
• 3:12
  all out with all of the sound effects and noises
• 3:15
  and voices that he did. Just a correction, it
• 3:18
  would be the people of Audible, not Sound Booth
• 3:20
  Theater. Those are two separate entities. Jeff
• 3:22
  works for a sound booth theater. Yeah. But sound
• 3:25
  booth theater episodes are their own thing that
• 3:27
  will be coming out later. Yes. So this would
• 3:30
  have been an audible episode. Correct. Yeah.
• 3:32
  Audible presentation, whatever you want to call
• 3:35
  it. Yeah. No. One of the things that I thought
• 3:38
  was really great with the karaoke chapter, though.
• 3:40
  So he takes the gelded choir boy scroll and it
• 3:43
  makes his voice go up in pitch. And then after
• 3:46
  he's finished singing. He says that he's waiting
• 3:49
  for the scroll to kind of time out before he
• 3:51
  continues talking. And then he starts talking
• 3:54
  and his voice is still at that higher pitch.
• 3:58
  And in the same sentence, the pitch of his voice
• 4:01
  goes down back to normal Carl voice. And I am
• 4:05
  pretty sure that Jeff did that in real time where
• 4:10
  he started the sentence in the squeaky voice
• 4:11
  and then gradually and very smoothly. made his
• 4:16
  voice go back down to Carl's normal voice, which
• 4:19
  is incredibly talented. It really is. Yeah. I
• 4:23
  also, I didn't listen to the entire book on audiobook,
• 4:27
  but I did listen to the Princess Chandra chapter,
• 4:30
  which is my favorite chapter in the book. And
• 4:32
  also my other favorite chapter, the Prepetente
• 4:34
  chapter. And they were both extremely enjoyable.
• 4:38
  I think the donut work in both of them is great.
• 4:40
  Yeah, it absolutely is. I think all of the characters'
• 4:44
  voices have just come to take such a personality
• 4:46
  of their own at this point. And sometimes when
• 4:48
  I go back and listen to some of the earlier books,
• 4:50
  I'm like, that's not what Katya sounds like.
• 4:52
  That's not what Louise sounds like. Or, you know,
• 4:55
  I mean, especially everyone knows early Carl.
• 4:57
  But the other Audible exclusive is the secret
• 5:02
  skit at the very end. And if you somehow haven't
• 5:05
  found that, there is a secret skit at the end
• 5:07
  of the Audible book. And you should definitely
• 5:09
  go and listen to that. So if you are a Kindle
• 5:13
  or a paper book reader, you need to find someone
• 5:16
  with Audible and ask them to let you listen to
• 5:19
  the secret skits. Because it is exclusive content
• 5:22
  and it is amazing. So basically what happened
• 5:27
  is after I listened to chapter 57, I went on
• 5:30
  Reddit and I was like, hey, I just listened to
• 5:33
  this part. It was pretty great. But, you know,
• 5:35
  before I try to figure out in which chapter Pony
• 5:38
  sings in the air tonight, like, can you just
• 5:41
  tell me if they were able to get the rights for
• 5:42
  that or not? Or if it's in that chapter before
• 5:45
  I go digging for it, which. It's in chapter 92.
• 5:49
  I know that because we just covered that in an
• 5:51
  episode. But they were like, no, they weren't
• 5:55
  able to get the rights. Listen to the end of
• 5:58
  Audible. And I like ran into the room and I was
• 6:02
  like, Nikki, Nikki, there's secret content. It
• 6:04
  is so good. And then we like sat there and listened
• 6:08
  to it together. And we were actually like laughing
• 6:11
  and crying while we listened to it. Like, yeah,
• 6:13
  it was so good. I was like, just. full body laughing
• 6:19
  and like crying. It is the best thing ever. Basically,
• 6:23
  Carl and Donut go into Repetente's personal space
• 6:27
  to try and, you know, meet up with him to talk
• 6:29
  to him about something. And he's in his room
• 6:32
  and he has his karaoke set, which is set up perfectly
• 6:35
  in the book for this to happen. And he is trying
• 6:39
  to sing and basically like the karaoke robot
• 6:42
  is like, you're out of credits and you can't
• 6:45
  sing this song. And he's very upset. And it's
• 6:47
  like, But if you can sing your own version of
• 6:49
  the song and it gets more views or likes or whatever.
• 6:53
  Well, the machine malfunctioned and he was going
• 6:56
  to be in servitude to the company that made the
• 6:58
  karaoke machine for a very long time. Unless
• 7:02
  he could create his own version that got a certain
• 7:05
  amount of views. Well, it had to bring in revenue,
• 7:08
  I guess. And the song that he wanted to sing
• 7:10
  was In the Air Tonight. And so he had to sing
• 7:14
  his own version of it. where instead of saying,
• 7:17
  what is it, so long? I think it's, oh, Lord.
• 7:19
  Oh, Lord? Yeah. It says, oh, Carl, every time.
• 7:24
  And he's singing about him and Carl hugging it
• 7:28
  out and sharing their feelings. It is really
• 7:31
  great. And I just want to share this story that's
• 7:33
  actually from The Simpsons because it is kind
• 7:36
  of the same thing. So in season four, The writers
• 7:40
  of The Simpsons wanted to have an episode where
• 7:43
  Marge was in the play A Streetcar Named Desire.
• 7:46
  And the early seasons of the episodes were mostly
• 7:50
  them just consulting their lawyers like on a
• 7:53
  daily basis. And what their lawyers told them
• 7:55
  is you cannot use any words or phrases that are
• 8:00
  from the play A Streetcar Named Desire. However,
• 8:03
  if you write your own musical version, you. Completely
• 8:08
  own the rights to that and it's fair use. Wild.
• 8:11
  And this is basically what happened here. Yes,
• 8:13
  I love legal loopholes. Fantastic chapter. Also,
• 8:17
  Secret Skit is actually spoilers free, so you
• 8:20
  can listen to it at any point. It is spoilers
• 8:22
  free. However, I would say if you haven't gotten
• 8:25
  through to around halfway through the book, that
• 8:29
  it's not going to hit as hard and I think be
• 8:32
  as funny if you haven't gotten to that point.
• 8:35
  But yes, technically, you could listen to this
• 8:38
  immediately after Prepetente gets introduced
• 8:40
  in the books in Dungeon Anarchist Cookbook, and
• 8:43
  nothing would be ruined, nothing would be spoiled,
• 8:46
  but it definitely wouldn't hit the same. Yeah,
• 8:48
  but I love it. So we just wanted to do a little
• 8:52
  short episode talking about some Audible stuff
• 8:55
  because we had not listened to that when we released
• 8:58
  our first episode. Yep, so this was a bit of
• 9:01
  a weird episode, but thanks for joining us today.
• 9:03
  Well, I will say that because some of the chapters
• 9:06
  in A Parade of Horribles are literally three
• 9:08
  pages long, we are going to have some instances
• 9:10
  where we're releasing like three episodes in
• 9:12
  one day. Possibly, yes. Now get out there and
• 9:15
  read, read, read. New achievement. You've listened
• 9:18
