Sarah (00:16):
Hey, maniacs.

Mark (00:17):
Hey, mystery maniac. Oh, I have something to tell you that
I had not realized till thisvery second. What? We may be
speaking another language rightnow because we are now eligible
for auto Translation?Translation and audio creation
on YouTube.

Sarah (00:35):
But the voices don't sound like ours.

Mark (00:37):
I have no idea. It will happen on our first upload.

Sarah (00:42):
Oh. What language are you most looking forward to hearing?

Mark (00:48):
Well, if you look up our language, our non English
country statistics, Germany isour first.

Sarah (00:56):
Yeah. But which language are you most excited to hear us
speak?

Mark (00:59):
I wanna hear us speak French because I will be able to
go, no.

Sarah (01:04):
That's not accurate.

Mark (01:05):
That's not accurate.

Sarah (01:06):
I think maybe Russian or Ukrainian

Mark (01:10):
or like a hundred languages we can choose from. We
will certainly be having funwith this.

Sarah (01:15):
Welcome to a mini episode for Broken Woods season 11
episode four, How the Other HalfDies. It's just a reminder, mini
episodes are intended for you tolisten to before you watch the
episode. So this is spoilerfree.

Mark (01:30):
Yes. And wow, we learned an important life lesson, Sarah.

Sarah (01:34):
What was that?

Mark (01:35):
That greed is bad.

Sarah (01:36):
That's right. Greed is bad. That is an important theme.

Mark (01:39):
It's B A D. And also cutting up your curtains in your
rental property.

Sarah (01:45):
Not a good idea. No. Ray and Trudy are again featured in
the

Mark (01:49):
episode. Front and center.

Sarah (01:51):
And this is not a Watch Like a Maniac point. We we have
those, and we'll go throughthose. But Ray has a shirt on
that has a pattern printed on itthat looks kind of like a
topographical map. Yeah. I wantfolks to pay attention to that
and tell me what it is.

Mark (02:08):
I also want people to know that we know who PC Daniel
Chalmers is. Though we never sayhis name. Though we never say
his name? Oh, Danny boy. And,

Sarah (02:20):
you know, interesting mailboxes. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. This
episode features a cock box.
A cock box. Are you ready forthe watch like a maniac
questions?

Mark (02:31):
I think this is a fantastic episode. It's a little
different in terms of thestructure of it. I would say
they're obviously maturing intheir storytelling. I think the
fact that Mike cries is stilldevastating to me. Yeah.
And that's not giving anythingaway, but it's a touching scene.

Sarah (02:52):
It is. Yep. It is. It's very good. Are you ready?
Yes. Okay. We've got four watchlike a maniac questions and a
bonus.

Mark (03:02):

and he has been delivering thegoods.

What's he listening to lately?

Mark (03:16):
What has Frodo been listening to?

Sarah (03:19):
Number two, what physical activity other than cricket are
the young people into?

Mark (03:24):
Yes. It is surprising that they are into this activity as
well.

Sarah (03:30):
Yes. Number three, what's fenced in on the wall of the
pub?

Mark (03:37):
This is super interesting and I definitely would like to
know more about this Yes.Particular thing. It sounds like
a cool thing that they added tothe show and I wanna know more
about it.

Sarah (03:52):
What's fenced in on the wall of the pub? Yep. Number
four, this is the second mentionof Nigel. What was the first?

Mark (04:00):
Yes. So Nigel doesn't make an appearance and he didn't make
an appearance first, but he ismentioned previously. And I'd
like to know when he wasmentioned and why he was
mentioned.
