Speaker 1 (00:00):
Book two, page one hundred twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
May I have your attention?
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Please?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
May I have your attention?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Please?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, the real Weird Sisters please stand up. We're gonna
have a problem here were the Weird Sisters. Were the
real Weird Sisters. All you other weird sisters are fine,
but not the Vikers. Well, the real Weird Sisters, please
stand up, Please stand up, Please stand up.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hi, and welcome to the Real Weird Sisters.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I'm Alice and I'm Martha.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And today we're here to talk about the one hundred and
twentieth page of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
And Martha.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but your prediction was
correct one of your predictions.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, I think my two predictions were death Day party
or detention with Lockhart, right, Yes.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
And we did end up at detention with Lockhart. So
I'm very excited that you predicted correctly and that it's
detention with Lockhart because that's highly entertaining.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yes, I'm very glad it's detention with Lockhart and not
the Death Day Party. But I will say I was
pretty spot on too, because the Death Day Party actually
starts on Paige. Well, the chapter the Death Day Party
starts on page one twenty two. So yeah, you were
right on Yeah, But you were also right Alice, because
you said it was about a third of the way
through the book, and it's almost exactly a third of
(01:18):
the way through the book, because there's three hundred and
forty one pages in this book, so the actual third
of the way would be like one hundred and seventeen.
But we're really close. So good job, pretty.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Good, Pretty good to both of us.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I'd say, after over nine years of podcasting together, we're
quite the experts.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
We are quite the experts. But I already I already
hinted at this. This is not from the chapter Death
Day Party. This is from the chapter mud Bloods and Murmurs,
Chapter seven, MS what bloods murmurs? And this is we're in.
We're in the murmurs part of the chapter.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, the murmur Luckily we don't like to be in
the slur portion of this.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
No, no, yeah, in the mud bloods. We've passed. Sorry,
we've passed the mud bloods. We're in the murmurs now.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yes, so before we get too far into this page,
of course, we have our house house keeping back later then, Yeah,
to get to so to review who the winners were
from our our two polls that we had up last week.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Now, I do want to say, first of all, at
the time of recording, the poles have not fully closed.
Where there's about there's about.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
An hour, stay in line. If you're in line, stay
in line.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
But I don't really see these changing. I could definitely
for Album of the Week, I could see the second
place changing because it's now two have nine votes and
one has eight votes. But as far as our winners
for both album and Band of the Week, I think
it's been pretty much decided. I would feel comfortable calling
(02:56):
a winner for both, even though the poles haven't officially closed.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, okay, so the real Weird Sisters is projecting.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah. So for our band our band name, I don't know.
Did you did you feel strongly that one would win
or the no.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I actually kind of thought that the last place one,
which is I mean still very close seven votes to
eight votes to ten votes for the three runner runners up,
But I thought tickets from work was actually the best one.
That is the one that you came up with, so.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That would be the most likely. I think I came
up with Slipstream as well.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Uh yeah, I think we kind of well, we put
kind of naw both yeah, tag team that a little
bit because I think we had like the Train's slip Stream,
and then we yeah, I think yeah, Well anyway, tickets
from work I really did think was the best one,
and I think you might have been about to say this,
but I feel like it sounds the most like a
band that I would listen to.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yes, that is what I.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Was about to say.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I was gonna say, well, that does sound like the
band you would choose to listen.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
To, so well you too, I think.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, Although the first three I think all sound so
our options were beyond the glass. Tickets from Work, Cheer Up, Harry,
and Slipstream. I think those first three all sound like
ones that maybe I could see us listening to. Slipstream
sounds least likely for.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Us because it sounds like I think we agreed. I
just say I think we agreed it would probably be
a metal band, right exactly, or punk rock right it
could be. Actually, I don't really think Slipstream sounds like punk.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh more more metal, I would agree.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But yeah, we had our winner, which was in fact Slipstream.
I think it's a pretty good name, to be honest.
Yeah it is, and I think I mean it does.
Obviously we mentioned this bear some resemblance to Slipknot, but
you know that's a band, you know that's it's been
very successful. So maybe that's part of part of why
(04:51):
it's been so successful, as it had a great name.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Right. So, okay, so you already hinted at this, but
we've got pretty close for the losers in the album bracket,
but the winner seems to be pulling ahead to where
I would be comfortable calling it as well. Yeah, so
our winner, with thirty seven percent of the vote, was
In and out of Sight, which, yes, I do really
(05:14):
like that one.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, I think that that makes a lot of sense,
says the winner. I'm a little bit insulted that felly
Tone was the user of this bracket, not because felly
Tone sounds like an album I would want to listen to,
but because I did do a pretty thorough pitch for
what the album felly Tone would be. I just wonder
if all the voters had listened to that part or not.
(05:38):
I wonder that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Too, But you know, we can never really know if
the voters are informed or not. When they're casting that vote.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That's so true. So yeah, I just think I want
to shout out the eight people who did vote for
felly Tone. I have a feeling that if you voted
for felly Tone, you did listen to my pitch, And
if you didn't vote for felly Tone, you might have
listened to my pitch, but it's much less likely that you.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I just pretty high on your pitch.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, I just I don't think that anybody voted for
felly Tone without hearing my pitch.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, here's the thing I think felly Tone also, I
know your pitch was that it would be like a
kid's funny album, but I could also see it being
like just a weird name that like some sort of
punk rock band would happen.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But that's what I don't like it. That's the thing,
Like I think I like it. I mean, it's not
either way. It's probably not an album i'd be tuning
it too frequently. But at the same time, I think
it makes a lot of sense the pitch that I made,
and I thank those who did listen.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Now in and out of sight, I will say it
sounds to me like an album that tickets from work
would have not that Slipstream would.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Have uh yeah, I mean Slipstream. I don't think any
of these are really.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Beyond the glass would happen out of sight that would.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Be yeah, I could see that, or no, beyond the glass. Yeah,
I was about to say beyond the Glass would be
the album name for Slipstream.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I think Slipstream would probably have that thing outside your window.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And then I think probably felly Tone would be done by.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Cheer Up Harry, Yeah, or we said it would be
maybe done by a flailing limbs, right right.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, Well, anyway, this has maybe gone on a little
bit long, longer than necessary, so let's go ahead and
jump right into the page for this week. So we're
on the second book for the first time in our
one page at a time series, and I have to
say going into this we were a little bit down
on it. It seemed like we were like not excited
(07:41):
to do the second book. But I actually I really
enjoyed this page.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, yes, we really lucked out as far as our
first Chamber of Secrets page being from this scene, because
it's a scene that we actually quote somewhat often. I mean,
I don't think so much on the podcast. But I
feel like some of these lines we've definitely talked about,
oh for sure, yeah, yes, and just.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Anytime Lockhart's involved, it's gonna be pretty funny. So all right,
shall we go ahead and jump right into.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Reading this page?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Martha, Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
You can address the envelopes, Lockhart told Harry, as though
this was a huge treat, the first ones to gladyst Gudgeon,
bless her, huge fan of mine. The minutes snailed by
Harry let Lockhart's voice wash over him, occasionally.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Saying mmm and right and yeah now, and then he
caught a phrase like fames a fickle friend, Harry, or
celebrity is as celebrity does.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Remember that The.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Candles burned lower and lower, making the light dance over
the many moving faces of Lockhart watching him. Harry moved
his aching hand over what felt like the thousand an envelope,
writing out Veronica Smethley's address.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It must be nearly time to leave.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Harry thought, miserably.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Please let it be nearly time.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And then he heard something, something quite apart from the
splitting of the dying candles in Lockhart's prattle about his fans.
It was a voice, a voice to chill the bone marrow,
a voice of breath taking ice cold venom.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Come, come to me, let me rip you, let me
tell you, let me kill you.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Harry gave a huge jump, and a large lilac blot
appeared on Veronica Smethley's street. What he said loudly, I know,
said Lockhart. Six solid months at the.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Top of the best seller list, broke all records.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
No, said Harry frantically.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That voice, sorry, said.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Lockhart, looking puzzled.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
What voice that voice? That said? Didn't you hear it?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Lockhart was looking at Harry in high astonishment.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
End scene.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That one puts you through your paces.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes, it did, the bone chilling voice. I don't know
if I quite nailed well.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think it verged a little bit into the high
cold voice territory.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
With well I mean quite yeah, I mean it's a
voice of breath taking ice cold venom.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, you nailed it. I don't have a single complaint,
so I'm good with it.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I guess you're right. It doesn't say high pitched, but
I always pictured that voice as high pitched, do you know?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I just picture it more like a whisper.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But I think that maybe is coming a bit from
the movie too, because I think in the movie it's
more like.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Com um do me, yeah, let me?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Would that have been better?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
They're both awfully creepy, so me damn you.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Harry is the only one who can hear it.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So yeah, that's true. If there had been more like
sis in it, then I feel like I could have
made it more snake like. But there's really no sibilant
noises in that.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
True.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Usually there's more SS's to be able to connect.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I think maybe that was a good call to not
have it have a bunch of ESS's, because then it
might be a little more obvious of what it really was.
Good point, yes, But the other thing I want to
say about it is, Okay, maybe we've talked about this
on the show, but I get that Harry's the only
one who can understand it, But why is he the
only one who hears it? Yeah, that's a little bit odd,
(11:48):
Like maybe maybe it's just like sounds like and so.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They think it's just like the pipes spitting or something.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I was gonna say. I think I think there are mentions,
maybe in later books, of its sounding more like pipe
but like, yeah, I mean when the dueling club happens
and Harry speaks to the snake. I mean, do they
mention that the snake is making noises like to Ron, Like,
does Ron say like the snake was just hissing or
something like that. I thought so, but so maybe they
(12:15):
Maybe you're right and it just sounds like pipes. Yeah,
But and then like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Especially in like an old castle like that.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Right, it would have been too much of a giveaway
to the reader if Lockhart had said all I hear
is the pipes or something like, there's not really a
way to not give away what the sound is.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, it would have been a little like on the nose.
But it just it always seems like Harry hears this
clear voice, right, nobody hears anything else.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, that's a really good point.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But I do think like it could be explained away
as like the fact that snakes mainly sound like they're
hissing when they're.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Well, yeah, I mean I just think that it's a
little bit weird that there's I mean, like like we're saying,
it would probably ruin the mystery a bit if its
specifically said, if it specifically said the sound of hissing. Yeah, Yeah,
I was just thinking too, like whether in the other scenes, like,
for instance, when they're going to find Missus Norris and well,
(13:11):
I guess this one. I can't remember if Ron and
Hermione you're actually with Harry when he finds her, but
all the different times, whether we're not going to be
able to look ahead or look at other pages. But
I don't remember if there's any time where like Hermione
and Ron are like, I don't hear anything besides the pipes,
or I don't hear anything.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't think they I don't think they ever say that.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I do think it would be okay to have that
in there.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Like it could be yeah, I mean in some small way,
but yeah, right, but in a little tricky yeah. Okay,
Well anyway, so going over what happened on this page,
So obviously we're in Lockhart's attention. This is one of
the first times that Harry, well, maybe it is the first.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Time he hears the voice.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Right, yes, this is the first time because the chapter
art I shouldn't have looked ahead. But the chapter arc
for the death Day party is Missus Norris's body, and
that's going to be the first body that he finds, right, Okay, So.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I will say like we had kind of predicted that
this was going to be filled with Ojosh didn't and
a corny writing style, but I didn't find that this
page was at all.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No, this was a very good page. I definitely enjoyed it.
I think that this again for our for this being
our first Chamber of Secrets page, I'm very very satisfied
with it.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, for sure, did you have a contender for Ojoshi didn't.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I was kind of thinking.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Maybe, just like the names sound very.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Like Gladys Gudgeon. Of course, it's like, oh, I liked.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I Like, it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I'm not saying it's bad.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I'm just saying it's kind of typical, Like, yeah, these
are typical names for the series.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, but I don't I don't know if I I
think the thing I was thinking. I kind of got
hung up a little bit on Lockhart's favorite color being
lilac on this page. Yeah, because signing a pen, signing
autographs with lilac just seems I mean, I guess it's
his I know it's his favorite color. We know that
from Hermione, knowing that from his first class or whatever,
(15:14):
but it just seems like such an impractical color to
sign letters with, Like, like, I feel like even like
another shade of purple would be fine, but lilac is
so pale. Like I just got I mean that hung
up on that.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, it's not like really super spelled out on here.
It's just that Harry has his lilac pen that he's
doing the the addresses with.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Right, Yeah, it says a large lilac blot. And then yeah,
there's another mention. I thought there was another mention at
the beginning of the page.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Maybe not, but well I didn't I didn't necessarily think
that was a bad thing. Lockhart is obviously, I'm sure
you don't disagree, but Lockhart is obviously very like larger
than life character, and he would be pretty impact with
the colors that he choose. So I just kind of
felt like maybe she could have picked a little bit
different color that would make a little bit more sense
(16:09):
for him for to be his favorite color.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, I also.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
But that's the color of his eyes, so of course
it's his favorite it is, well, maybe not, maybe it's periwinkle.
I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, that's strange to me too. I always I don't
think anybody in real life actually has purple eyes.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Okay, Well I could be wrong about his eyes and
periwinkle is more of a blue, so that would make
more sense.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, I guess. Also, I mean we could the
Joe she didn't could be the fact that Harry is
the only one to hear the voice.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, it is a little bit of an inconsistency as
far as like the believability of the whole thing, right,
So yeah, that maybe would be an appropriate thing for
it to be.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But yeah, I'm also struggling to find too much to
critis on this page. I thought it was very fun.
One line that I thought was a little strange was
the making the light dance over the many moving faces
of Lockhart. I guess those are the letters that he
or the pictures that he's signing.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I was also a little confused by that, but that
could have also been because of the format of our show,
having missed the context of this page.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Well, yeah, I think it's because he's signing pictures, so
those are the many moving faces. But I kind of,
you know, forgot that wizarding pictures are moving, right, and
so that I was picturing like that. It was like
the like Lockhart's reflection or something was you know what.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Like sometimes you see Yeah, And I kind of had
a moment where I was like, is there a bunch
of pictures of him on the wall? But then I
realize it could be that too. Well, no, but it's
the candles are I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Burning lower? Yeah, which is where the article or where
the autography? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I think I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I think it's referring to the stack of pictures, but
it was a little confusing the way that that was written.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And I do think you're right, but it's a bit
the fault of our format here.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, So okay, adverb watch we had a few. Yeah,
it was not a very adverb heavy but.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
It's not a very adverb heavy page. But we have
a pretty clear winner, I think.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, frantically right, yes, yeah, so we had loudly and
frantically we're the main ones. We also had occasionally, but
that kind of doesn't really count, right, And then we
have an adverbial clause looking at Harry in high astonishment.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, which was a little strange, but yeah, I think
frantically is a winner for sure. That's one of our
one of the words that always cracks me up whatever,
somebody says something frantically and Harry Potter so yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
So I mean I can see why he was frantic,
because that would be so creepy.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yes, it would, especially when you're twelve, Like I mean,
it's creepy as an adult, but.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Like, well and you're in like this big old creepy castle.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, like in
I mean, I know it's Hawkwarts is his home malice,
but yeah, like like I said, it's it's like, uh,
it is kind of an unfamiliar there's a lot of
like unexplored places, so it's creepy to think that there's
like and it's especially it's dark out and the words
that it's saying are really creepy too, Yeah, the fact
that he's the only one who can hear it, like
(19:16):
let me review Terry, let me kill you. Yeah, it's
definitely what people mean when we say that this book
is way scarier than the third book.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Definitely. I think all the stuff with the basilisk is
really really creepy, and like also.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
With all the possession stuff, quite creepy.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The possessions like how Tom riddles, Yeah, yeah, I thought
you were meaning petrif. I was like, I didn't mean,
I didn't think that you misspoke, but I was like
picturing petrification when you said possession, and I was like,
or are there are a lot of poss But yeah,
the fact that Ginny's possessed is definitely creepy.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, and he like kind of tries to was ess
Harry right, Yeah, the whole thing is quite quite creepy. Yes,
So anyway, it's Gary. Yeah. Lockhart was definitely like the
star of this page. He was in full force. One
of our favorite quotes is Fames a fickle friend.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Of course, yes, and I will say, if I remember correctly,
that the movie this page is in the movie. Yes,
of course, pretty much everything from the Chamber of Secrets.
Christopher Columbus was purest to a fault with the writing
of this movie. But I mean not that he's the writer,
(20:38):
but you know, there's so much from this movie that
they just went completely by the books to.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yes, and we appreciate that in some ways, but in
other wise, Yeah, it does get a little. As Tim says,
books and movies are two different. Well, and of all that,
Christopher Columbus has really internalized that.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Of all the books to stay true too. This is
the one that's the least necessary.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I would say, well, we did cut out the scene
with the little cupids in the whole way.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Sadly, Well that was a huge missed opportunity. But well,
I yeah, I want to say what I was going
to say, Yes, this is in the movie, but I'm
pretty sure that the movie is. The quote is Fame's
a fickle fiend, Harry. Do you think so? I don't
know why I remember that, but I'm pretty sure that
that Kenneth Browna says Fames of fickle fiend, Harry, not
(21:28):
a fickle friend.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
It's definitely one where I second guess that quote in
my head a lot. And maybe that's why because I've
heard it in the movie and then I've read it
in the book. The book definitely here says fickle friend, right,
And I feel like that makes more sense. It a
fickle It's a better quote than Fames a fickle fiend,
because Lockhart would generally view Fame as a friend, right,
(21:52):
But it's a fickle friend. So I mean that's like,
I feel like he wouldn't call Fame a fiend.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
No, I don't think so either, And I like you,
I often forget which one it is, and I was
glad to have the chance to be reminded officially which
one it is for this today. But I can't remember
if I remember the movie saying it that way just
to excuse myself misconstruing it, or if if it genuinely
(22:20):
does say that, But I definitely it could be a
false memory, but I definitely have that in my head.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Well, when we eventually do a take five series on
the second book, we'll we'll figure out.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Which, I think for the record that the second movie,
which is what you meant to say, not second Oh yeah,
that's the last take five series will do. Because Tim
hates this movie.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Well, that would be fun to watch a movie with
Tim that he hates, I know.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
But it's also like he just finds it so dull,
Like it's not like it's not like us with Prisoner
of Azkaban, where we have lots to make fun of.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He just like, yeah, poor Tim, We wouldn't want to
torture him.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Right, Yeah, but you're enough being on a podcast with us.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, exactly. All right, Well, should we get Literary Device
Watch out of the way.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Okay, do you have any to talk about.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
The minutes snailed by.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That was a good one. Oh yeah, I did like
that one.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Actually, that has to be one of my favorite sentences
on this page, for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's a good Yeah. I really liked that too. I
don't think that's a phrase I've really heard much before.
Yeah have you?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Uh no, I mean you know exactly what it means, obviously,
but it's not one that you've really heard a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
No.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Oh, sorry, I forgot earlier.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I forgot to.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Mention the adjective or the adverb miserably was also on here,
but I think frantically is better, right, And that's what
Harry was thinking.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
He thought, miserably. Yeah, that was a good one. I'd
say that's runner up Forbally.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. Okay, but back to literary device watch.
I mean, Harry's got a bit of hyperbole going on
in his own mind. Felt like the thousand thimble.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
That's true, that's true. We do have personification. The light daunced.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, the the candles are dying. I mean, I guess
that's an expression.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
But right, and it to be clear, it's the spitting
of the dying candles. You said the splitting when you
read it? Oh oops, oh, and we have I mean,
I guess this is is this a metaphor? I guess
a voice to chill the bone marrow? Yeah, maybe or
an idiom. I guess it's definitely figurative language. Because actually,
(24:35):
I'm glad you I'm glad we're doing Literary Device Watch
this week because this is.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Turning out to be one of the most heavy literary
device pages of all that's true.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
We even have a little bit of a literation, a
large lilac blot. Yeah, and six solid months and of
course gladyscudgean and Fame's a fickle friend, of course, and
the celebrities. Well, I guess that's I don't think that, yeah,
but yeah, there's a lot of literary devices on this page.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, it's it's it does generate quite the image. Uh,
and you can I really felt like very pulled into
the atmosphere of this with the candles burning lower and
like you can just tell it's getting like dark, it's dark,
it's creepy, there's flickering light, and then this voice comes
out of nowhere. It's yeah, it definitely paints a scene.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, you can definitely put yourself into Harry's shoes here
with the like everybody's had a time in their life
where they're thinking that it's time, must be up, and
that like, it must be nearly time to.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Leave, nearly time to leave?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
How could happen nearly?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Please be nearly time?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I like, how it's not please let it be time,
it's please let it be nearly time.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, it's being more realistic. He knows it's not time yet.
But yeah, okay, how about missed opportunities?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Do you see any on this page? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
No, I don't think there's a huge miss opportunity here.
I think that maybe the cold Voice could have done
even more with what it says. But I mean that's
kind of grasp against draws a little bit.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, I was also struggling to come up. Like I said,
this is a very good page, makes it hardly makes
it harder to come up with stuff for it, exactly.
But I also did find it was a bit harder
to find like a burn of the week or a
sass of the week. I mean, we kind of we
definitely had some I don't know if they were humble
brags of the week. We had some brags of the
(26:45):
week from Lockhart, but those are very obvious.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
True. I guess as far as a burn of the
week goes. I mean Harry just saying right and yeah,
I guess sort of, or or the part about as
though this was a huge treat.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That's why you're right. This is the struggle page for that.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah. I think, like, like I said, Lockhart definitely has
some obvious brags of the week when he's like talking
about whatever, six six solid months at the top of
the best seller list, broke all records.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
But it's like, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Pose not a humble brag. Yeah, that's a bag. Yeah,
I guess Harry gave a huge jump could be considered
a hump frag.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Wow, good job Harry.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, good jumping.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
He would probably win. He would win the long jump
if he was competing, yeah, or the high jump.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I mean he's he could go to the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
He gave a large lilac blot. Wow, good job Harry.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
He really spilding call over that page.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, well done. I guess the Oh you know, I
think I found the burn of the week Lockhart's prattle
about his fans.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah. I mean again, it's like it's sort of it's
almost too obvious.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's like, yeah, but that's I mean, that's the closest
to a real burden that there is. Calling it prattle, Yeah, true,
but yeah, I guess I'm trying to find another I
guess what felt like the thousandth envelope. That's kind of
a humble brag.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I thought that too, because it's like, okay, wow, Harry,
you've written so many envelopes. But anyway, I say envelope.
I wasn't sure what Jim Dale says if he says
envelope or envelope.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I said envelope only because I thought that's what Jim
Dale said. Yeah, I know, I didn't say envelope.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I know, I just was what do you think that's
what he says too?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, well that's why I said it. That's what I think,
But I don't I'm not sure. I just kind of
in the moment assumed that's what he said.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, that's what happened to me when I was reading
the page.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
So did you also say envelope? Yeah, yeah, we both did. Yeah. Yeah,
well I said it at the top of the page
you can address the envelopes and then yeah, oh yeah,
maybe you had that in your head because I had
just said it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, could be.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I guess we could maybe give a humble brag to
the Chilling Voice, like, oh, congrats on being a voice
to chill the bone Marrow. Wow, wow you're scary, yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Wow. How creepy are you?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah exactly? Wow your voice is ice cold, ice cold venom. Wow.
Good job.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I mean, like we said, it's kind of a weak
page for that stuff, but that's okay because it was
such a good page for other things.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah. So I think burn of the week is between
Lockhart told Harry as though this was a huge treat
and Lockhart's prattle about his fans. Yeah, oh, I guess Lockhart.
I guess another contender for humble brag is something quite
apart from the spitting of the dying candles and Lockhart's
prattle about his as. Oh, this is very different from that.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh, this is not at all the same.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
This is this is something much more exciting.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah, exactly, this is a secret their adoption.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, okay, well we've we've got a few things there. Well,
like I said, not the best week for that, but
it was it was very good for other things. So
we talked about it was in the movie. We didn't
talk about Hermione's beat it bag though.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Are we taking this page with us?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, I think we are.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Uh yeah, I think we'll take it.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, exactly. It's very fun page as far as Chamber
of Secrets content goes. This is peak.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yes, I agree most of the Lockhart stuff. And I
think Chris Columbus, as much as he kind of adopted everything, like,
I think he did understand that Lockhart was.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Like one of the top, like the best of this
book totally. I mean in Caronto, like.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, yeah, he did a great job with itsting. Yeah,
So they both really nailed that. And I think, yes,
we're going to take anything with Lockhart with us just
for the pure entertainment value.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
And yeah, I'll take it exactly.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, Well, we've got a few more segments that we'll
get to in a minute. We're going to take a
quick ad break and we'll be right back. Okay, So
let's jump into our WWGPD. Martha, what do you think,
how do you think that Mary grand Prey would interpret this?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well, all we have to do is go back to
the wonderful cover of chapter four at flourishan blots page
forty two to see her wonderful edition of what Gilderoy
Lockhart looks like? Oh? Is he a handsome devil? Oh?
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I can see why they were all swooning over him.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I love I love that he has no forehead and
those starts at his hairline.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I just love his outfit.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Well, the outfit is really cute. Yeah, us so, Yeah,
I mean I'm picturing like, maybe again the ww GPD.
I think maybe this is a double segment of what
would grand Prey actually do and then what would we
like a chapter art to look like or a page
art to look like. I think what she would actually
(32:18):
do would probably be something with a bunch of pictures
of Lockhart on the table. And I mean, yeah, maybe
she would have Harry and Lockhart in there, but I
kind of feel like it would be more likely to
just be a picture of all the all the different
envelopes that Harry's having to address.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah, I think I could she could take the easy
way out and just do an an envelope of Veronica
Smethley's address with a big with a big blot on it.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, that's true. That would be the easy way out.
That would be very GP, my kindergartener could do that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Oh, Mary GP, we.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Know how you are. Yes to.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
What I would like to see?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I think I could have an image I could picture.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Would be Harry writing and then like but maybe looking
creeped out, and then the candles around him, so would
be like, yeah, the moment he hears the voice.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, I definitely think the candles would be part of
the picture. And yeah, some sort of like frightened look
on Harry's face, maybe like while Lockhart has his like
eyes closed and it is just like in his own
little world.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Of course, like we said, chances that Mary Mary grand
Prey would actually do that fairly low.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Fairly low.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah, however I can picture what it would look like
and it would be cool.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yes, me too. I don't know what the art who
the artist would be, maybe whoever did the illustrated versions.
That could be if we wanted to give ourselves more work,
we could start looking at the illustrated versions. Yeah, of
course I.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Only have I think I have one through four, Okay,
maybe just have on through three, I don't remember. But
of course we don't have the whole series yet of that,
so right, that would only work on certain when we're
on the early books. But right, yeah, that could be
something to take a look at.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Again, if we want to give ourselves more work. I'm
not sure.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, the listeners let us know.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
If we hear an overwhelming resounding response, we might do it.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Meaning if like two people tell us that they want it. Yeah. Yeah.
The thing is, it's less likely to happen simply because
Alice is the one who owns those books, not me.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
So, oh, you don't own them.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't think I have any maybe, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
At least got I remember taking a picture on Christmas.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Day right together? Yeah, you're right, I do you at
least have that one.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I don't think I have passed the first one though.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Okay, I think I have.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I think I have one through three. I don't have
the fourth one yet. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Do they all exist? Now?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
No, they don't all exist yet. That's what I was saying, like,
even if they did, we wouldn't like even if even
if I didn't have them, they don't exist yet.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
I think I think just one through four is out.
Maybe five.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I feel like I saw five, but maybe not.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Okay, Well I'm yeah anyway, okay, so uh, all right,
let's let's go ahead and let's get to band name
an album name of the week.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
We've been dragging outa.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Waited long enough, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I will say this was not a week where I
had a lot of stuff popping out at me.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
But really there, I mean, what do you have?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Well, fickle Friend, I think, yeah, that's that one.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Reminded me of Filthy Friend?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Oh true?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Are we doing this every time? But yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, yeah there was another? Oh just maybe uh lilac
blot Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Why there Well two one or two that I think
would be kind of funny would be either Gladys Gudgeon
or Veronicas Methley, because I feel like that could be
one of those ones where it's like it sounds like
it's one person but it's actually a band.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah. I actually thought of that as well, and I
actually was trying to come up with I thought maybe
Veronicas Methley's Street might be a good album name. Yeah, true,
but I think I like Gladys Gudgeon for an album
or for a band.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, I'd be good with that. Of course, Gladys Gudgeon
sounds to me like it could be a metal band, yeah,
or rock maybe. I think maybe the reason I'm thinking
it sounds like a metal band is because Gudgeon kind
of sounds like Dungeon or something, right, right, that's making
me think of that.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
But yeah, okay, so I mean this is the three
word trope, but we could have many moving faces.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, I like that actually a lot.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I also I mentioned this one high astonishment. I don't
know if that's great or not.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
I mean it's a maybe it's not like bad, but
it Yeah, I don't know that it's gonna win.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Well, we have to have a fourth place, that's true.
A voice to chill the bone marrow. I think that
that's an album.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Oh for sure, that one's something that's good.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
It would definitely be a metal album.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Yeah, I mean Ice Cold Venom that's also a good one.
But I mean I do wouldn't want that to be
necessarily a band name because I know there is already.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Venom oh right, big fan of Venom House, Oh, big fan?
Nearly time to leave.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
For the for a band name or for an album,
I don't know. I don't know, maybe not either, actually
not what I'm I think maybe the an album could
be the thousandth envelope.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Okay, yeah, what about light dance.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
That's for album or for band for band light Dance, Yeah,
I kind of like that actually, okay.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Or Huge Treat or huge Fan. I actually kind of
like huge Fan for a band name.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Okay, we'll do that. So our four band names are
Many Moving Faces, Gladys Gudgeon, Light Dance, and Huge Fan.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I think I think huge Fan is good.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, I think it has potential.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
It's ironic, you know.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I think Many Moving Faces is best personally, but really
we'll see what We'll see what the fans.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Think that's true. Okay. And then for album name.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Well, we've gotten three so far. We have Veronica Smethley's Address,
A Voice to Chill the Bone, Marrow, the thousandth envelope,
and what about if it was this is kind of lengthy,
but what if it was a large lilac blot appeared.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Maybe not appeared. It's a large light like block.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Okay, yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
How about a huge jump and a large lilac blot.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
It's kind of a link the album, but yeah, I
could see it.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
No, let's let's just do a large lilac plot.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Okay, keep it simple.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, yeah, I think those are our best options, you know,
there's a lot, a lot of great things here though
on this page.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I mean the page is great.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
I don't know if it's been great for some of
our segments.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Is the thing? Well, MVB is gonna be a little tricky.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
I think the MVB is gonna have to be the basilisk. Right.
The voice now, the voice is soaring through the room.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
No, I think it's the spitting of the dying candles.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
What if it's.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
We could actually Gladys Gudgeon might be an owl.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
It could be Harry because he gave a huge jump.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
That's true, he really jumped. But we don't know for
sure that Gladys or Veronica aren't birds.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
There's no proof either way.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Yeah, that that is a very good point.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Without further proof, we or without further evidence, we have
no way to say for certain what species they are.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Right, So I think that they're that they're both m
vb's because they're together.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
I don't know if I want to do that.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Well, you want to give it to the basilisk. Really no,
I don't want to give that to the basilisk. I
it's mv B, not m v B. Get it.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
We don't we don't want to honor our villains, do we?
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Well, I was I was saying MVB like Basilisk, I.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Know you were saying that.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
I'm just I thought you meant that. I thought you
heard it as m VV and most valuable Villain.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Well, we could add that as a segment too, Oh
thank you. And in that case I would give it
to Lockhart because he's kind of a villain too, and
I think he's the most valuable villain here.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Isn't prattle kind of a bird related word? Not that
I knew of, but maybe I feel like there's a
bird that prattles.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
I haven't heard of that, but we could ask our mom.
She's the birder in the family.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
I don't think nothing is coming up when I looked
back up, So okay, I would be okay with giving
it to the candles, the spitting of the dying candles,
because I.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Personally, I really think we should give it to Harry
because he flew with the air.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
He did give a huge jump. Birds don't jump, they fly.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
It was like he flew, but it says jump, it
doesn't say fly. Harry flew hair Harry gave a huge flight.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
I'm just saying when someone jumps, it makes me think
he's flying.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
So I mean, I guess it is a huge jump.
So Madam looks like flight.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Well, I'd be okay with giving it to the.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Candles, not to go at us and Veronica.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Don't. I don't think we should make the assumption that
they are birds either.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
I don't think we should make the assumption that they
aren't birds.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
I agree, but it's just it seems like a huge
jump to say that they for sure are the MVB.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I don't think that's a huge jump. Okay, fine, we
can give it to the candles.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Wow, those are so interesting.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Well, you know, then let's give it to Gladison. Veronica
are two.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
No, I don't want to Okay, they can get real weirdo.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
No, I think Lockhart gets real weird though.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
For signing letters with lilac.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
I got kind of roasted last year at my school
when we had to sign a bunch of letters to
parents that we were sending out, and I used like
a it wasn't like a really colored but it wasn't
blue or black, and I think it was like a
(43:01):
sort of maroon color pen and it was just to
sign it. And my coworker, who was like in her fifties,
was like, oh, well, maybe maybe I'm just old school.
I just I would never sign a letter to the
family not in blue or black. And it was fine.
I still kept the maroon pen, but she was kind
(43:24):
of roasting me for the choice choice.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
It's funny because two, I had two coworkers.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Who used to refuse to use.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Black pen for anything. Oh really, and so like they
would I think one of them also didn't like blue ink.
I don't remember for sure, but like they would they would.
One of them would do blue, so like for legal
documents and stuff, she would only do blue, but like
they would.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Never use black ink.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
And I was kind of the old school person who
felt like they didn't look that professional to sign things
in like purple.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
But well, the thing is these weren't like really professional
that they were like information letters about like things that
were happening at the end of the year. So I
just I thought it made it more personal to sign
it in a color that wasn't who were black.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
And also I didn't you and Lockhart have that in common.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Exactly, But it was like, maybe I'm just old school,
but I would never send something home to families that
aren't that isn't blue or black ink?
Speaker 3 (44:21):
How old school?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Yeah, I know I was.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
Well, another not old school sort of related story. One
time we had this person in the library who was
like helping kids register for something and she like, one
of the kids wrote it in some sort of colored ink,
and she flipped out and she had to go with
this huge lecture about how only blue or black is
(44:48):
a legal document.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Well, that is true. Yeah, I guess I thought you
were going to say some kid tried to sign it
in pencil, because that's what kids always tried to do.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Well, no, then, yeah, it was. It was just and
the kids were very taken aback.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
So the lesson, Yeah, I won't ever say they don't
teach you real things in school, that's right.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
Okay, Well, so I guess that was enough of an aside.
As interesting as that all was, is that our lesson
of the week that maybe we shouldn't be using lilac inc.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
I think that's a good lesson of the week. Yeah,
because otherwise you'll end up with large lilac lots.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
Yeah. Yeah, Honestly, I don't even know what other lesson
there would be on this page other than maybe, you know,
not watching the time too closely when you're doing something boring.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
A watched pot never boils.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
Yeah, exactly, Or I mean Lockhart did teach us a
few lessons famousical friend and celebrity is a celebrity does well?
Speaker 2 (45:48):
I do think also we could say something about being
observant of your surroundings being a good lesson of this page, too,
is the only one noticing things?
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yeah, I mean he has the advantage of understanding parcel tongue.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
But yes, but Lockhart's just it as a little world.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
Yeah, that's true too. He's very self absorbed as usual.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Six solid months at the top of the best seller list.
Speaker 3 (46:13):
Yes, that's I know.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
How Harry said, what.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
As if he was like what he's like?
Speaker 3 (46:26):
It was what I know? What are you thinking for
the qqot w or sorry the qq I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Where is your enthusiasm here?
Speaker 3 (46:37):
The w w T qqot w B start over? Okay, listeners,
now it's time for our favorite segment, the w w
T qqot w B.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
When I say WU say w.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
W w w w T T cut.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Cut cute, c oh oh t t w w by
all right.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Oh, Tim would be so mad right now if he
was on here.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
I mean, I think we kind of already talked about
the w w Q two q q O t w B.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Well, but are you talking about the y Could Harry
hear it and nobody else?
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yeah, yeah, I would think so too.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
What what would be some of the answers that we
would hear?
Speaker 3 (47:39):
Who would who would we be hearing from? And what
would they say?
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Well, this person is a fifth fifth degree warlock at
at con Academy, and she says that it's not important
how people respond to it. It's important how they don't
(48:04):
respond to it, because we are only seeing it from
a limited point of view, being hairy and as far
as the rest of the non parcel mouths know, Hogwarts
is an old castle that makes lots of noises all
the time.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Yeah, I think we would definitely get somebody explaining about
how castles make lots of hissing and popping noises with
the furnace and that kind of thing. So would probably
be explained away by that. Then we would probably also
have somebody in there chiming in saying it would give
it away.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Yeah, I think another possibility for a QQOT WB or
a qqot B or qqot W would be why detentions
that Hogwarts are so inconsistent with what students are supposed
to do. Yeah, and that's one that I feel like
(48:57):
the answers would probably mostly disparage the author's world building.
I would say, like things at Hogwarts are very inconsistent
to like probably be like think about the way house
points are given out and be like and somehow everybody
is celebrating at the end of the first book when
(49:17):
Slytherin loses and raven Claw loses second place, Like yeah,
like it's that you have to remember that this is
a children's series written from a limited point of view.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah, good reminders to all of us, right, yeah, all right,
Well that was our qq sorry, that was our WWT
qqot WB. So I'm sorry to everybody who was looking
forward to that, because now it's over and it's going
to be until next time that you'll get to hear
that amazing segment.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Yes, when I say.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
You, okay, well, did we hit all of our segments
or do we have anything left to go over with
this page? Martha Meme of the week of course, oh right,
Meme of the week, And I don't have a good
meme of the there's too much pressure on me. Now,
memes need to be more organically generated from in my mind.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Yeah, because you were just to be blored.
Speaker 3 (50:17):
That's that's the thing. And when I don't have this
pressure on me, I just churn them out. But when
I when I we have a segment of meme of
the week, it's too much pressure. I crack.
Speaker 2 (50:27):
Yeah, do you have a meme? Uh? I'm trying to
think of like memes about not being able to hear something.
Speaker 3 (50:38):
I feel like Lockhart has always a little bit reminded
me of creepy Wonka.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
I was just gonna say, well, I was gonna say
that Harry Harry is kind of uh acting like the
Wonka picture. I guess, oh, what about the the Drake
meme of like listening to like, you know, holding up
(51:04):
the hand like not doing this, and then it's like, yeah,
I'll do this, So it'd be like listening to what
Lockhart's saying listening to creepy voice of the pipes.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
I think. Yeah. The other thing I have an issue
with with Meme of the Week is that I just
don't have the same meme lexicon that you seem to have,
Like we're like to me, I don't. I can't just
like think of all the memes that exist in the
Internet and then come up with one.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
I have, And yet you're the meme lord of this podcast.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
No, I sometimes create my own memes.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Okay, so that's so, do you want to create your
own meme today? No?
Speaker 3 (51:41):
Again, when we have the segment, it's almost too much pressure.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
Okay, Oh talking to the wall. That could be Lockhart.
Speaker 3 (51:51):
What's that meme? I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
It's like the guy talking to a brick wall and
he's like using his hands to gesture like he's talking
really seriously. It's just a brick wall.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
Okay, Yeah, that could be Harry.
Speaker 2 (52:04):
No, that's Lockhart. Oh.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
I thought you were saying Harry like when he was
trying to talk to Lockhart about hearing the voice.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
Oh no, I was saying Lockhart is talking about how
Oh yeah, like just in general, Yeah, just labbing and
the walls just sitting there.
Speaker 3 (52:21):
Yeah. All right, Well there's our meme of the week.
Speaker 2 (52:27):
It was great, So I think it's always great.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
I think all that is left is to do our
dice roll. So this is always an exciting moment, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
Very well we didn't we didn't.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
Uh oh, we didn't rank.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
The page yet either.
Speaker 3 (52:40):
I personally, this one is going to be up there.
Speaker 1 (52:42):
I know we only do King of the Hill. So
what do you think? Is this better or worse than
the elf tails page that we had.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
I don't think it's better than the elf tails page. Unfortunately,
this was a very good page.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
Yeah, I know, it's hard to beat that elf Tail's page.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Tails page was amazing.
Speaker 3 (53:02):
Plus that one had more stuff that we could analyze too,
like that or I mean it had all the like
it fit more naturally with our segments, yeah, exactly, whereas
this one it was like it was almost two flawless
or something.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
Yeah, I think that's yeah, it doesn't quite rate it
right up there. Yeah, but if we were doing a
real ranking, then this would still be this would be
pretty high.
Speaker 3 (53:29):
I think this would be second at this point. I mean,
I not that I will be able to remember forever,
but like I can't remember reading a page. I enjoyed
this much other like, other than the elf tails page.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
Right exactly. Well, the the Imperious Curse scene with Moody
was pretty good too.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
Yeah, it was but it wasn't as funny.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
Well Moody cleared those desks alas, oh he cleared the desks.
Speaker 3 (53:54):
There was more humble brags. That's what I enjoyed the
segments more and some of the other ones.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
But yeah, that's true. All right, ready for the dice roll.
Speaker 1 (54:01):
I'm so ready.
Speaker 3 (54:02):
I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
All right, Book four okay, page three fifty eight.
Speaker 3 (54:10):
Okay, so they'll probably just be arriving at Hogwarts.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
Yeah exactly, Yeah, okay, three fifty eight. Yeah, and this
is our second book four. We still have not done
a book one or book seven.
Speaker 3 (54:25):
Yeah, so we know that they'll be at Hogwarts at
this point.
Speaker 2 (54:30):
Yeah, it's gonna be I'm guessing like it'd be like
yule Ball time. That's what I was gonna say, either
yule Ball or second Task even yeah, somewhere in there,
or like, yeah, maybe listening to the egg.
Speaker 1 (54:47):
Moaning myrtle, that'd be a good one.
Speaker 3 (54:51):
We can only hope that we'll get Myrtle in there.
Speaker 2 (54:54):
Yeah exactly. Yeah, we still haven't gotten books one or
book seven. But in other news, I did order some dice,
so we'll see when they get here.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
We'll see if there may be weighted dice that have
more of a emphasis on the high numbers.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Or the low numbers.
Speaker 2 (55:12):
Yeah, or just always give me the same numbers. We'll see.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
Okay, all right, so we'll be we'll probably be doing
this again next week.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
What do you think, Martha, I think so, unless tim
suddenly becomes available.
Speaker 3 (55:25):
The thing with the one page at a time format
is that I kind of like doing a chunk of
them at once.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
I do too.
Speaker 3 (55:31):
I'm not sure how listeners feel about that, so let
us know if you feel strongly one way or the other.
But I kind of feel like we get into a
little bit more of a flow with the format, and yeah,
just being the fact that we are doing one page
at a time, it's like it's almost a little bit
of a anti climactic feel if we only talk about
one page and then we do a character study and
(55:52):
then you know, yeah, so all right, Well we will
plan on that for next week unless our Take five
schedule opens up, but we will be doing book four.
So Goblet of Fire, page three fifty eight. Make sure
in the meantime that you are following us on all
of our social media and visiting us on our website.

Were the Weird Sisters. Were the real Weird Sisters? All
you are the Weird Sisters are fine men. The fakers, well,
the real Weird Sisters. Please stand up, Please stand up,
Please stand up,
Book two, page one hundred twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
May I have your attention?
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Please?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
May I have your attention?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Please?
Speaker 2 (00:13):

real Weird Sisters. All you other weird sisters are fine,
but not the Vikers. Well, the real Weird Sisters, please
stand up, Please stand up, Please stand up.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hi, and welcome to the Real Weird Sisters.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I'm Alice and I'm Martha.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And today we're here to talk about the one hundred and
twentieth page of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
And Martha.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but your prediction was
correct one of your predictions.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, I think my two predictions were death Day party
or detention with Lockhart, right, Yes.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
And we did end up at detention with Lockhart. So
I'm very excited that you predicted correctly and that it's
detention with Lockhart because that's highly entertaining.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yes, I'm very glad it's detention with Lockhart and not
the Death Day Party. But I will say I was
pretty spot on too, because the Death Day Party actually
starts on Paige. Well, the chapter the Death Day Party
starts on page one twenty two. So yeah, you were
right on Yeah, But you were also right Alice, because
you said it was about a third of the way
through the book, and it's almost exactly a third of
(01:18):
the way through the book, because there's three hundred and
forty one pages in this book, so the actual third
of the way would be like one hundred and seventeen.
But we're really close. So good job, pretty.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Good, Pretty good to both of us.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I'd say, after over nine years of podcasting together, we're
quite the experts.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
We are quite the experts. But I already I already
hinted at this. This is not from the chapter Death
Day Party. This is from the chapter mud Bloods and Murmurs,
Chapter seven, MS what bloods murmurs? And this is we're in.
We're in the murmurs part of the chapter.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, the murmur Luckily we don't like to be in
the slur portion of this.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
No, no, yeah, in the mud bloods. We've passed. Sorry,
we've passed the mud bloods. We're in the murmurs now.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yes, so before we get too far into this page,
of course, we have our house house keeping back later then, Yeah,
to get to so to review who the winners were
from our our two polls that we had up last week.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Now, I do want to say, first of all, at
the time of recording, the poles have not fully closed.
Where there's about there's about.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
An hour, stay in line. If you're in line, stay
in line.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
But I don't really see these changing. I could definitely
for Album of the Week, I could see the second
place changing because it's now two have nine votes and
one has eight votes. But as far as our winners
for both album and Band of the Week, I think
it's been pretty much decided. I would feel comfortable calling
(02:56):
a winner for both, even though the poles haven't officially closed.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, okay, so the real Weird Sisters is projecting.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah. So for our band our band name, I don't know.
Did you did you feel strongly that one would win
or the no.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I actually kind of thought that the last place one,
which is I mean still very close seven votes to
eight votes to ten votes for the three runner runners up,
But I thought tickets from work was actually the best one.
That is the one that you came up with, so.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That would be the most likely. I think I came
up with Slipstream as well.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Uh yeah, I think we kind of well, we put
kind of naw both yeah, tag team that a little
bit because I think we had like the Train's slip Stream,
and then we yeah, I think yeah, Well anyway, tickets
from work I really did think was the best one,
and I think you might have been about to say this,
but I feel like it sounds the most like a
band that I would listen to.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yes, that is what I.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Was about to say.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I was gonna say, well, that does sound like the
band you would choose to listen.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
To, so well you too, I think.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, Although the first three I think all sound so
our options were beyond the glass. Tickets from Work, Cheer Up, Harry,
and Slipstream. I think those first three all sound like
ones that maybe I could see us listening to. Slipstream
sounds least likely for.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Us because it sounds like I think we agreed. I
just say I think we agreed it would probably be
a metal band, right exactly, or punk rock right it
could be. Actually, I don't really think Slipstream sounds like punk.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh more more metal, I would agree.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But yeah, we had our winner, which was in fact Slipstream.
I think it's a pretty good name, to be honest.
Yeah it is, and I think I mean it does.
Obviously we mentioned this bear some resemblance to Slipknot, but
you know that's a band, you know that's it's been
very successful. So maybe that's part of part of why
(04:51):
it's been so successful, as it had a great name.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Right. So, okay, so you already hinted at this, but
we've got pretty close for the losers in the album bracket,
but the winner seems to be pulling ahead to where
I would be comfortable calling it as well. Yeah, so
our winner, with thirty seven percent of the vote, was
In and out of Sight, which, yes, I do really
(05:14):
like that one.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, I think that that makes a lot of sense,
says the winner. I'm a little bit insulted that felly
Tone was the user of this bracket, not because felly
Tone sounds like an album I would want to listen to,
but because I did do a pretty thorough pitch for
what the album felly Tone would be. I just wonder
if all the voters had listened to that part or not.
(05:38):
I wonder that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Too, But you know, we can never really know if
the voters are informed or not. When they're casting that vote.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That's so true. So yeah, I just think I want
to shout out the eight people who did vote for
felly Tone. I have a feeling that if you voted
for felly Tone, you did listen to my pitch, And
if you didn't vote for felly Tone, you might have
listened to my pitch, but it's much less likely that you.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I just pretty high on your pitch.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, I just I don't think that anybody voted for
felly Tone without hearing my pitch.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, here's the thing I think felly Tone also, I
know your pitch was that it would be like a
kid's funny album, but I could also see it being
like just a weird name that like some sort of
punk rock band would happen.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But that's what I don't like it. That's the thing,
Like I think I like it. I mean, it's not
either way. It's probably not an album i'd be tuning
it too frequently. But at the same time, I think
it makes a lot of sense the pitch that I made,
and I thank those who did listen.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Now in and out of sight, I will say it
sounds to me like an album that tickets from work
would have not that Slipstream would.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Have uh yeah, I mean Slipstream. I don't think any
of these are really.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Beyond the glass would happen out of sight that would.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Be yeah, I could see that, or no, beyond the glass. Yeah,
I was about to say beyond the Glass would be
the album name for Slipstream.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I think Slipstream would probably have that thing outside your window.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And then I think probably felly Tone would be done by.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Cheer Up Harry, Yeah, or we said it would be
maybe done by a flailing limbs, right right.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Okay, Well, anyway, this has maybe gone on a little
bit long, longer than necessary, so let's go ahead and
jump right into the page for this week. So we're
on the second book for the first time in our
one page at a time series, and I have to
say going into this we were a little bit down
on it. It seemed like we were like not excited
(07:41):
to do the second book. But I actually I really
enjoyed this page.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, yes, we really lucked out as far as our
first Chamber of Secrets page being from this scene, because
it's a scene that we actually quote somewhat often. I mean,
I don't think so much on the podcast. But I
feel like some of these lines we've definitely talked about,
oh for sure, yeah, yes, and just.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Anytime Lockhart's involved, it's gonna be pretty funny. So all right,
shall we go ahead and jump right into.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Reading this page?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Martha, Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
You can address the envelopes, Lockhart told Harry, as though
this was a huge treat, the first ones to gladyst Gudgeon,
bless her, huge fan of mine. The minutes snailed by
Harry let Lockhart's voice wash over him, occasionally.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Saying mmm and right and yeah now, and then he
caught a phrase like fames a fickle friend, Harry, or
celebrity is as celebrity does.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Remember that The.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Candles burned lower and lower, making the light dance over
the many moving faces of Lockhart watching him. Harry moved
his aching hand over what felt like the thousand an envelope,
writing out Veronica Smethley's address.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It must be nearly time to leave.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Harry thought, miserably.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Please let it be nearly time.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And then he heard something, something quite apart from the
splitting of the dying candles in Lockhart's prattle about his fans.
It was a voice, a voice to chill the bone marrow,
a voice of breath taking ice cold venom.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Come, come to me, let me rip you, let me
tell you, let me kill you.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Harry gave a huge jump, and a large lilac blot
appeared on Veronica Smethley's street. What he said loudly, I know,
said Lockhart. Six solid months at the.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Top of the best seller list, broke all records.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
No, said Harry frantically.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That voice, sorry, said.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Lockhart, looking puzzled.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
What voice that voice? That said? Didn't you hear it?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Lockhart was looking at Harry in high astonishment.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
End scene.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That one puts you through your paces.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes, it did, the bone chilling voice. I don't know
if I quite nailed well.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think it verged a little bit into the high
cold voice territory.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
With well I mean quite yeah, I mean it's a
voice of breath taking ice cold venom.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, you nailed it. I don't have a single complaint,
so I'm good with it.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I guess you're right. It doesn't say high pitched, but
I always pictured that voice as high pitched, do you know?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I just picture it more like a whisper.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But I think that maybe is coming a bit from
the movie too, because I think in the movie it's
more like.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Com um do me, yeah, let me?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Would that have been better?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
They're both awfully creepy, so me damn you.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Harry is the only one who can hear it.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So yeah, that's true. If there had been more like
sis in it, then I feel like I could have
made it more snake like. But there's really no sibilant
noises in that.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
True.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Usually there's more SS's to be able to connect.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I think maybe that was a good call to not
have it have a bunch of ESS's, because then it
might be a little more obvious of what it really was.
Good point, yes, But the other thing I want to
say about it is, Okay, maybe we've talked about this
on the show, but I get that Harry's the only
one who can understand it, But why is he the
only one who hears it? Yeah, that's a little bit odd,
(11:48):
Like maybe maybe it's just like sounds like and so.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They think it's just like the pipes spitting or something.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I was gonna say. I think I think there are mentions,
maybe in later books, of its sounding more like pipe
but like, yeah, I mean when the dueling club happens
and Harry speaks to the snake. I mean, do they
mention that the snake is making noises like to Ron, Like,
does Ron say like the snake was just hissing or
something like that. I thought so, but so maybe they
(12:15):
Maybe you're right and it just sounds like pipes. Yeah,
But and then like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Especially in like an old castle like that.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Right, it would have been too much of a giveaway
to the reader if Lockhart had said all I hear
is the pipes or something like, there's not really a
way to not give away what the sound is.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, it would have been a little like on the nose.
But it just it always seems like Harry hears this
clear voice, right, nobody hears anything else.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, that's a really good point.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But I do think like it could be explained away
as like the fact that snakes mainly sound like they're
hissing when they're.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Well, yeah, I mean I just think that it's a
little bit weird that there's I mean, like like we're saying,
it would probably ruin the mystery a bit if its
specifically said, if it specifically said the sound of hissing. Yeah, Yeah,
I was just thinking too, like whether in the other scenes, like,
for instance, when they're going to find Missus Norris and well,
(13:11):
I guess this one. I can't remember if Ron and
Hermione you're actually with Harry when he finds her, but
all the different times, whether we're not going to be
able to look ahead or look at other pages. But
I don't remember if there's any time where like Hermione
and Ron are like, I don't hear anything besides the pipes,
or I don't hear anything.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't think they I don't think they ever say that.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I do think it would be okay to have that
in there.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Like it could be yeah, I mean in some small way,
but yeah, right, but in a little tricky yeah. Okay,
Well anyway, so going over what happened on this page,
So obviously we're in Lockhart's attention. This is one of
the first times that Harry, well, maybe it is the first.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Time he hears the voice.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Right, yes, this is the first time because the chapter
art I shouldn't have looked ahead. But the chapter arc
for the death Day party is Missus Norris's body, and
that's going to be the first body that he finds, right, Okay, So.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I will say like we had kind of predicted that
this was going to be filled with Ojosh didn't and
a corny writing style, but I didn't find that this
page was at all.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No, this was a very good page. I definitely enjoyed it.
I think that this again for our for this being
our first Chamber of Secrets page, I'm very very satisfied
with it.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, for sure, did you have a contender for Ojoshi didn't.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I was kind of thinking.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Maybe, just like the names sound very.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Like Gladys Gudgeon. Of course, it's like, oh, I liked.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I Like, it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I'm not saying it's bad.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I'm just saying it's kind of typical, Like, yeah, these
are typical names for the series.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, but I don't I don't know if I I
think the thing I was thinking. I kind of got
hung up a little bit on Lockhart's favorite color being
lilac on this page. Yeah, because signing a pen, signing
autographs with lilac just seems I mean, I guess it's
his I know it's his favorite color. We know that
from Hermione, knowing that from his first class or whatever,
(15:14):
but it just seems like such an impractical color to
sign letters with, Like, like, I feel like even like
another shade of purple would be fine, but lilac is
so pale. Like I just got I mean that hung
up on that.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, it's not like really super spelled out on here.
It's just that Harry has his lilac pen that he's
doing the the addresses with.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Right, Yeah, it says a large lilac blot. And then yeah,
there's another mention. I thought there was another mention at
the beginning of the page.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Maybe not, but well I didn't I didn't necessarily think
that was a bad thing. Lockhart is obviously, I'm sure
you don't disagree, but Lockhart is obviously very like larger
than life character, and he would be pretty impact with
the colors that he choose. So I just kind of
felt like maybe she could have picked a little bit
different color that would make a little bit more sense
(16:09):
for him for to be his favorite color.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, I also.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
But that's the color of his eyes, so of course
it's his favorite it is, well, maybe not, maybe it's periwinkle.
I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, that's strange to me too. I always I don't
think anybody in real life actually has purple eyes.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Okay, Well I could be wrong about his eyes and
periwinkle is more of a blue, so that would make
more sense.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, I guess. Also, I mean we could the
Joe she didn't could be the fact that Harry is
the only one to hear the voice.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, it is a little bit of an inconsistency as
far as like the believability of the whole thing, right,
So yeah, that maybe would be an appropriate thing for
it to be.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But yeah, I'm also struggling to find too much to
critis on this page. I thought it was very fun.
One line that I thought was a little strange was
the making the light dance over the many moving faces
of Lockhart. I guess those are the letters that he
or the pictures that he's signing.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I was also a little confused by that, but that
could have also been because of the format of our show,
having missed the context of this page.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Well, yeah, I think it's because he's signing pictures, so
those are the many moving faces. But I kind of,
you know, forgot that wizarding pictures are moving, right, and
so that I was picturing like that. It was like
the like Lockhart's reflection or something was you know what.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Like sometimes you see Yeah, And I kind of had
a moment where I was like, is there a bunch
of pictures of him on the wall? But then I
realize it could be that too. Well, no, but it's
the candles are I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Burning lower? Yeah, which is where the article or where
the autography? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I think I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I think it's referring to the stack of pictures, but
it was a little confusing the way that that was written.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And I do think you're right, but it's a bit
the fault of our format here.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, So okay, adverb watch we had a few. Yeah,
it was not a very adverb heavy but.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
It's not a very adverb heavy page. But we have
a pretty clear winner, I think.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, frantically right, yes, yeah, so we had loudly and
frantically we're the main ones. We also had occasionally, but
that kind of doesn't really count, right, And then we
have an adverbial clause looking at Harry in high astonishment.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, which was a little strange, but yeah, I think
frantically is a winner for sure. That's one of our
one of the words that always cracks me up whatever,
somebody says something frantically and Harry Potter so yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
So I mean I can see why he was frantic,
because that would be so creepy.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yes, it would, especially when you're twelve, Like I mean,
it's creepy as an adult, but.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Like, well and you're in like this big old creepy castle.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, like in
I mean, I know it's Hawkwarts is his home malice,
but yeah, like like I said, it's it's like, uh,
it is kind of an unfamiliar there's a lot of
like unexplored places, so it's creepy to think that there's
like and it's especially it's dark out and the words
that it's saying are really creepy too, Yeah, the fact
that he's the only one who can hear it, like
(19:16):
let me review Terry, let me kill you. Yeah, it's
definitely what people mean when we say that this book
is way scarier than the third book.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Definitely. I think all the stuff with the basilisk is
really really creepy, and like also.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
With all the possession stuff, quite creepy.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The possessions like how Tom riddles, Yeah, yeah, I thought
you were meaning petrif. I was like, I didn't mean,
I didn't think that you misspoke, but I was like
picturing petrification when you said possession, and I was like,
or are there are a lot of poss But yeah,
the fact that Ginny's possessed is definitely creepy.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, and he like kind of tries to was ess
Harry right, Yeah, the whole thing is quite quite creepy. Yes,
So anyway, it's Gary. Yeah. Lockhart was definitely like the
star of this page. He was in full force. One
of our favorite quotes is Fames a fickle friend.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Of course, yes, and I will say, if I remember correctly,
that the movie this page is in the movie. Yes,
of course, pretty much everything from the Chamber of Secrets.
Christopher Columbus was purest to a fault with the writing
of this movie. But I mean not that he's the writer,
(20:38):
but you know, there's so much from this movie that
they just went completely by the books to.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yes, and we appreciate that in some ways, but in
other wise, Yeah, it does get a little. As Tim says,
books and movies are two different. Well, and of all that,
Christopher Columbus has really internalized that.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Of all the books to stay true too. This is
the one that's the least necessary.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I would say, well, we did cut out the scene
with the little cupids in the whole way.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Sadly, Well that was a huge missed opportunity. But well,
I yeah, I want to say what I was going
to say, Yes, this is in the movie, but I'm
pretty sure that the movie is. The quote is Fame's
a fickle fiend, Harry. Do you think so? I don't
know why I remember that, but I'm pretty sure that
that Kenneth Browna says Fames of fickle fiend, Harry, not
(21:28):
a fickle friend.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
It's definitely one where I second guess that quote in
my head a lot. And maybe that's why because I've
heard it in the movie and then I've read it
in the book. The book definitely here says fickle friend, right,
And I feel like that makes more sense. It a
fickle It's a better quote than Fames a fickle fiend,
because Lockhart would generally view Fame as a friend, right,
(21:52):
But it's a fickle friend. So I mean that's like,
I feel like he wouldn't call Fame a fiend.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
No, I don't think so either, And I like you,
I often forget which one it is, and I was
glad to have the chance to be reminded officially which
one it is for this today. But I can't remember
if I remember the movie saying it that way just
to excuse myself misconstruing it, or if if it genuinely
(22:20):
does say that, But I definitely it could be a
false memory, but I definitely have that in my head.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Well, when we eventually do a take five series on
the second book, we'll we'll figure out.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Which, I think for the record that the second movie,
which is what you meant to say, not second Oh yeah,
that's the last take five series will do. Because Tim
hates this movie.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Well, that would be fun to watch a movie with
Tim that he hates, I know.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
But it's also like he just finds it so dull,
Like it's not like it's not like us with Prisoner
of Azkaban, where we have lots to make fun of.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He just like, yeah, poor Tim, We wouldn't want to
torture him.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Right, Yeah, but you're enough being on a podcast with us.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, exactly. All right, Well, should we get Literary Device
Watch out of the way.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Okay, do you have any to talk about.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
The minutes snailed by.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That was a good one. Oh yeah, I did like
that one.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Actually, that has to be one of my favorite sentences
on this page, for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's a good Yeah. I really liked that too. I
don't think that's a phrase I've really heard much before.
Yeah have you?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Uh no, I mean you know exactly what it means, obviously,
but it's not one that you've really heard a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
No.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Oh, sorry, I forgot earlier.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I forgot to.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Mention the adjective or the adverb miserably was also on here,
but I think frantically is better, right, And that's what
Harry was thinking.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
He thought, miserably. Yeah, that was a good one. I'd
say that's runner up Forbally.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. Okay, but back to literary device watch.
I mean, Harry's got a bit of hyperbole going on
in his own mind. Felt like the thousand thimble.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
That's true, that's true. We do have personification. The light daunced.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, the the candles are dying. I mean, I guess
that's an expression.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
But right, and it to be clear, it's the spitting
of the dying candles. You said the splitting when you
read it? Oh oops, oh, and we have I mean,
I guess this is is this a metaphor? I guess
a voice to chill the bone marrow? Yeah, maybe or
an idiom. I guess it's definitely figurative language. Because actually,
(24:35):
I'm glad you I'm glad we're doing Literary Device Watch
this week because this is.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Turning out to be one of the most heavy literary
device pages of all that's true.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
We even have a little bit of a literation, a
large lilac blot. Yeah, and six solid months and of
course gladyscudgean and Fame's a fickle friend, of course, and
the celebrities. Well, I guess that's I don't think that, yeah,
but yeah, there's a lot of literary devices on this page.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, it's it's it does generate quite the image. Uh,
and you can I really felt like very pulled into
the atmosphere of this with the candles burning lower and
like you can just tell it's getting like dark, it's dark,
it's creepy, there's flickering light, and then this voice comes
out of nowhere. It's yeah, it definitely paints a scene.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, you can definitely put yourself into Harry's shoes here
with the like everybody's had a time in their life
where they're thinking that it's time, must be up, and
that like, it must be nearly time to.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Leave, nearly time to leave?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
How could happen nearly?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Please be nearly time?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I like, how it's not please let it be time,
it's please let it be nearly time.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, it's being more realistic. He knows it's not time yet.
But yeah, okay, how about missed opportunities?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Do you see any on this page? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
No, I don't think there's a huge miss opportunity here.
I think that maybe the cold Voice could have done
even more with what it says. But I mean that's
kind of grasp against draws a little bit.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, I was also struggling to come up. Like I said,
this is a very good page, makes it hardly makes
it harder to come up with stuff for it, exactly.
But I also did find it was a bit harder
to find like a burn of the week or a
sass of the week. I mean, we kind of we
definitely had some I don't know if they were humble
brags of the week. We had some brags of the
(26:45):
week from Lockhart, but those are very obvious.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
True. I guess as far as a burn of the
week goes. I mean Harry just saying right and yeah,
I guess sort of, or or the part about as
though this was a huge treat.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That's why you're right. This is the struggle page for that.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah. I think, like, like I said, Lockhart definitely has
some obvious brags of the week when he's like talking
about whatever, six six solid months at the top of
the best seller list, broke all records.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
But it's like, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Pose not a humble brag. Yeah, that's a bag. Yeah,
I guess Harry gave a huge jump could be considered
a hump frag.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Wow, good job Harry.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, good jumping.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
He would probably win. He would win the long jump
if he was competing, yeah, or the high jump.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I mean he's he could go to the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
He gave a large lilac blot. Wow, good job Harry.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
He really spilding call over that page.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, well done. I guess the Oh you know, I
think I found the burn of the week Lockhart's prattle
about his fans.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah. I mean again, it's like it's sort of it's
almost too obvious.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's like, yeah, but that's I mean, that's the closest
to a real burden that there is. Calling it prattle, Yeah, true,
but yeah, I guess I'm trying to find another I
guess what felt like the thousandth envelope. That's kind of
a humble brag.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I thought that too, because it's like, okay, wow, Harry,
you've written so many envelopes. But anyway, I say envelope.
I wasn't sure what Jim Dale says if he says
envelope or envelope.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I said envelope only because I thought that's what Jim
Dale said. Yeah, I know, I didn't say envelope.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
I know, I just was what do you think that's
what he says too?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, well that's why I said it. That's what I think,
But I don't I'm not sure. I just kind of
in the moment assumed that's what he said.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, that's what happened to me when I was reading
the page.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
So did you also say envelope? Yeah, yeah, we both did. Yeah. Yeah,
well I said it at the top of the page
you can address the envelopes and then yeah, oh yeah,
maybe you had that in your head because I had
just said it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, could be.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I guess we could maybe give a humble brag to
the Chilling Voice, like, oh, congrats on being a voice
to chill the bone Marrow. Wow, wow you're scary, yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Wow. How creepy are you?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah exactly? Wow your voice is ice cold, ice cold venom. Wow.
Good job.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I mean, like we said, it's kind of a weak
page for that stuff, but that's okay because it was
such a good page for other things.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah. So I think burn of the week is between
Lockhart told Harry as though this was a huge treat
and Lockhart's prattle about his fans. Yeah, oh, I guess Lockhart.
I guess another contender for humble brag is something quite
apart from the spitting of the dying candles and Lockhart's
prattle about his as. Oh, this is very different from that.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh, this is not at all the same.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
This is this is something much more exciting.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah, exactly, this is a secret their adoption.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, okay, well we've we've got a few things there. Well,
like I said, not the best week for that, but
it was it was very good for other things. So
we talked about it was in the movie. We didn't
talk about Hermione's beat it bag though.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Are we taking this page with us?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, I think we are.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Uh yeah, I think we'll take it.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, exactly. It's very fun page as far as Chamber
of Secrets content goes. This is peak.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yes, I agree most of the Lockhart stuff. And I
think Chris Columbus, as much as he kind of adopted everything, like,
I think he did understand that Lockhart was.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Like one of the top, like the best of this
book totally. I mean in Caronto, like.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, yeah, he did a great job with itsting. Yeah,
So they both really nailed that. And I think, yes,
we're going to take anything with Lockhart with us just
for the pure entertainment value.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
And yeah, I'll take it exactly.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, Well, we've got a few more segments that we'll
get to in a minute. We're going to take a
quick ad break and we'll be right back. Okay, So
let's jump into our WWGPD. Martha, what do you think,
how do you think that Mary grand Prey would interpret this?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well, all we have to do is go back to
the wonderful cover of chapter four at flourishan blots page
forty two to see her wonderful edition of what Gilderoy
Lockhart looks like? Oh? Is he a handsome devil? Oh?
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I can see why they were all swooning over him.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I love I love that he has no forehead and
those starts at his hairline.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I just love his outfit.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Well, the outfit is really cute. Yeah, us so, Yeah,
I mean I'm picturing like, maybe again the ww GPD.
I think maybe this is a double segment of what
would grand Prey actually do and then what would we
like a chapter art to look like or a page
art to look like. I think what she would actually
(32:18):
do would probably be something with a bunch of pictures
of Lockhart on the table. And I mean, yeah, maybe
she would have Harry and Lockhart in there, but I
kind of feel like it would be more likely to
just be a picture of all the all the different
envelopes that Harry's having to address.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah, I think I could she could take the easy
way out and just do an an envelope of Veronica
Smethley's address with a big with a big blot on it.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, that's true. That would be the easy way out.
That would be very GP, my kindergartener could do that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Oh, Mary GP, we.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Know how you are. Yes to.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
What I would like to see?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I think I could have an image I could picture.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Would be Harry writing and then like but maybe looking
creeped out, and then the candles around him, so would
be like, yeah, the moment he hears the voice.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yeah, I definitely think the candles would be part of
the picture. And yeah, some sort of like frightened look
on Harry's face, maybe like while Lockhart has his like
eyes closed and it is just like in his own
little world.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Of course, like we said, chances that Mary Mary grand
Prey would actually do that fairly low.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Fairly low.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah, however I can picture what it would look like
and it would be cool.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yes, me too. I don't know what the art who
the artist would be, maybe whoever did the illustrated versions.
That could be if we wanted to give ourselves more work,
we could start looking at the illustrated versions. Yeah, of
course I.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Only have I think I have one through four, Okay,
maybe just have on through three, I don't remember. But
of course we don't have the whole series yet of that,
so right, that would only work on certain when we're
on the early books. But right, yeah, that could be
something to take a look at.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Again, if we want to give ourselves more work. I'm
not sure.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, the listeners let us know.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
If we hear an overwhelming resounding response, we might do it.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Meaning if like two people tell us that they want it. Yeah. Yeah.
The thing is, it's less likely to happen simply because
Alice is the one who owns those books, not me.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
So, oh, you don't own them.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't think I have any maybe, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
At least got I remember taking a picture on Christmas.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Day right together? Yeah, you're right, I do you at
least have that one.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I don't think I have passed the first one though.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Okay, I think I have.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I think I have one through three. I don't have
the fourth one yet. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Do they all exist? Now?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
No, they don't all exist yet. That's what I was saying, like,
even if they did, we wouldn't like even if even
if I didn't have them, they don't exist yet.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
I think I think just one through four is out.
Maybe five.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I feel like I saw five, but maybe not.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Okay, Well I'm yeah anyway, okay, so uh, all right,
let's let's go ahead and let's get to band name
an album name of the week.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
We've been dragging outa.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Waited long enough, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I will say this was not a week where I
had a lot of stuff popping out at me.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
But really there, I mean, what do you have?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Well, fickle Friend, I think, yeah, that's that one.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
Reminded me of Filthy Friend?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Oh true?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Are we doing this every time? But yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, yeah there was another? Oh just maybe uh lilac
blot Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Why there Well two one or two that I think
would be kind of funny would be either Gladys Gudgeon
or Veronicas Methley, because I feel like that could be
one of those ones where it's like it sounds like
it's one person but it's actually a band.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah. I actually thought of that as well, and I
actually was trying to come up with I thought maybe
Veronicas Methley's Street might be a good album name. Yeah, true,
but I think I like Gladys Gudgeon for an album
or for a band.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, I'd be good with that. Of course, Gladys Gudgeon
sounds to me like it could be a metal band, yeah,
or rock maybe. I think maybe the reason I'm thinking
it sounds like a metal band is because Gudgeon kind
of sounds like Dungeon or something, right, right, that's making
me think of that.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
But yeah, okay, so I mean this is the three
word trope, but we could have many moving faces.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, I like that actually a lot.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I also I mentioned this one high astonishment. I don't
know if that's great or not.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
I mean it's a maybe it's not like bad, but
it Yeah, I don't know that it's gonna win.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Well, we have to have a fourth place, that's true.
A voice to chill the bone marrow. I think that
that's an album.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Oh for sure, that one's something that's good.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
It would definitely be a metal album.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Yeah, I mean Ice Cold Venom that's also a good one.
But I mean I do wouldn't want that to be
necessarily a band name because I know there is already.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Venom oh right, big fan of Venom House, Oh, big fan?
Nearly time to leave.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
For the for a band name or for an album,
I don't know. I don't know, maybe not either, actually
not what I'm I think maybe the an album could
be the thousandth envelope.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Okay, yeah, what about light dance.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
That's for album or for band for band light Dance, Yeah,
I kind of like that actually, okay.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Or Huge Treat or huge Fan. I actually kind of
like huge Fan for a band name.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Okay, we'll do that. So our four band names are
Many Moving Faces, Gladys Gudgeon, Light Dance, and Huge Fan.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I think I think huge Fan is good.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, I think it has potential.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
It's ironic, you know.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I think Many Moving Faces is best personally, but really
we'll see what We'll see what the fans.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Think that's true. Okay. And then for album name.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Well, we've gotten three so far. We have Veronica Smethley's Address,
A Voice to Chill the Bone, Marrow, the thousandth envelope,
and what about if it was this is kind of lengthy,
but what if it was a large lilac blot appeared.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Maybe not appeared. It's a large light like block.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Okay, yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
How about a huge jump and a large lilac blot.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
It's kind of a link the album, but yeah, I
could see it.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
No, let's let's just do a large lilac plot.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Okay, keep it simple.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, yeah, I think those are our best options, you know,
there's a lot, a lot of great things here though
on this page.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I mean the page is great.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
I don't know if it's been great for some of
our segments.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Is the thing? Well, MVB is gonna be a little tricky.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
I think the MVB is gonna have to be the basilisk. Right.
The voice now, the voice is soaring through the room.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
No, I think it's the spitting of the dying candles.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
What if it's.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
We could actually Gladys Gudgeon might be an owl.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
It could be Harry because he gave a huge jump.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
That's true, he really jumped. But we don't know for
sure that Gladys or Veronica aren't birds.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
There's no proof either way.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Yeah, that that is a very good point.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Without further proof, we or without further evidence, we have
no way to say for certain what species they are.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Right, So I think that they're that they're both m
vb's because they're together.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
I don't know if I want to do that.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Well, you want to give it to the basilisk. Really no,
I don't want to give that to the basilisk. I
it's mv B, not m v B. Get it.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
We don't we don't want to honor our villains, do we?
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Well, I was I was saying MVB like Basilisk, I.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Know you were saying that.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
I'm just I thought you meant that. I thought you
heard it as m VV and most valuable Villain.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Well, we could add that as a segment too, Oh
thank you. And in that case I would give it
to Lockhart because he's kind of a villain too, and
I think he's the most valuable villain here.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Isn't prattle kind of a bird related word? Not that
I knew of, but maybe I feel like there's a
bird that prattles.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
I haven't heard of that, but we could ask our mom.
She's the birder in the family.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
I don't think nothing is coming up when I looked
back up, So okay, I would be okay with giving
it to the candles, the spitting of the dying candles,
because I.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Personally, I really think we should give it to Harry
because he flew with the air.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
He did give a huge jump. Birds don't jump, they fly.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
It was like he flew, but it says jump, it
doesn't say fly. Harry flew hair Harry gave a huge flight.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
I'm just saying when someone jumps, it makes me think
he's flying.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
So I mean, I guess it is a huge jump.
So Madam looks like flight.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Well, I'd be okay with giving it to the.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Candles, not to go at us and Veronica.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Don't. I don't think we should make the assumption that
they are birds either.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
I don't think we should make the assumption that they
aren't birds.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
I agree, but it's just it seems like a huge
jump to say that they for sure are the MVB.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I don't think that's a huge jump. Okay, fine, we
can give it to the candles.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Wow, those are so interesting.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Well, you know, then let's give it to Gladison. Veronica
are two.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
No, I don't want to Okay, they can get real weirdo.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
No, I think Lockhart gets real weird though.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
For signing letters with lilac.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
I got kind of roasted last year at my school
when we had to sign a bunch of letters to
parents that we were sending out, and I used like
a it wasn't like a really colored but it wasn't
blue or black, and I think it was like a
(43:01):
sort of maroon color pen and it was just to
sign it. And my coworker, who was like in her fifties,
was like, oh, well, maybe maybe I'm just old school.
I just I would never sign a letter to the
family not in blue or black. And it was fine.
I still kept the maroon pen, but she was kind
(43:24):
of roasting me for the choice choice.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
It's funny because two, I had two coworkers.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Who used to refuse to use.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Black pen for anything. Oh really, and so like they
would I think one of them also didn't like blue ink.
I don't remember for sure, but like they would they would.
One of them would do blue, so like for legal
documents and stuff, she would only do blue, but like
they would.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Never use black ink.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
And I was kind of the old school person who
felt like they didn't look that professional to sign things
in like purple.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
But well, the thing is these weren't like really professional
that they were like information letters about like things that
were happening at the end of the year. So I
just I thought it made it more personal to sign
it in a color that wasn't who were black.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
And also I didn't you and Lockhart have that in common.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Exactly, But it was like, maybe I'm just old school,
but I would never send something home to families that
aren't that isn't blue or black ink?
Speaker 3 (44:21):
How old school?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Yeah, I know I was.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
Well, another not old school sort of related story. One
time we had this person in the library who was
like helping kids register for something and she like, one
of the kids wrote it in some sort of colored ink,
and she flipped out and she had to go with
this huge lecture about how only blue or black is
(44:48):
a legal document.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Well, that is true. Yeah, I guess I thought you
were going to say some kid tried to sign it
in pencil, because that's what kids always tried to do.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Well, no, then, yeah, it was. It was just and
the kids were very taken aback.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
So the lesson, Yeah, I won't ever say they don't
teach you real things in school, that's right.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
Okay, Well, so I guess that was enough of an aside.
As interesting as that all was, is that our lesson
of the week that maybe we shouldn't be using lilac inc.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
I think that's a good lesson of the week. Yeah,
because otherwise you'll end up with large lilac lots.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
Yeah. Yeah, Honestly, I don't even know what other lesson
there would be on this page other than maybe, you know,
not watching the time too closely when you're doing something boring.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
A watched pot never boils.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
Yeah, exactly, Or I mean Lockhart did teach us a
few lessons famousical friend and celebrity is a celebrity does well?
Speaker 2 (45:48):
I do think also we could say something about being
observant of your surroundings being a good lesson of this page, too,
is the only one noticing things?
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yeah, I mean he has the advantage of understanding parcel tongue.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
But yes, but Lockhart's just it as a little world.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
Yeah, that's true too. He's very self absorbed as usual.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Six solid months at the top of the best seller list.
Speaker 3 (46:13):
Yes, that's I know.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
How Harry said, what.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
As if he was like what he's like?
Speaker 3 (46:26):
It was what I know? What are you thinking for
the qqot w or sorry the qq I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Where is your enthusiasm here?
Speaker 3 (46:37):
The w w T qqot w B start over? Okay, listeners,
now it's time for our favorite segment, the w w
T qqot w B.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
When I say WU say w.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
W w w w T T cut.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Cut cute, c oh oh t t w w by
all right.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Oh, Tim would be so mad right now if he
was on here.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
I mean, I think we kind of already talked about
the w w Q two q q O t w B.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Well, but are you talking about the y Could Harry
hear it and nobody else?
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yeah, yeah, I would think so too.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
What what would be some of the answers that we
would hear?
Speaker 3 (47:39):
Who would who would we be hearing from? And what
would they say?
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Well, this person is a fifth fifth degree warlock at
at con Academy, and she says that it's not important
how people respond to it. It's important how they don't
(48:04):
respond to it, because we are only seeing it from
a limited point of view, being hairy and as far
as the rest of the non parcel mouths know, Hogwarts
is an old castle that makes lots of noises all
the time.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Yeah, I think we would definitely get somebody explaining about
how castles make lots of hissing and popping noises with
the furnace and that kind of thing. So would probably
be explained away by that. Then we would probably also
have somebody in there chiming in saying it would give
it away.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Yeah, I think another possibility for a QQOT WB or
a qqot B or qqot W would be why detentions
that Hogwarts are so inconsistent with what students are supposed
to do. Yeah, and that's one that I feel like
(48:57):
the answers would probably mostly disparage the author's world building.
I would say, like things at Hogwarts are very inconsistent
to like probably be like think about the way house
points are given out and be like and somehow everybody
is celebrating at the end of the first book when
(49:17):
Slytherin loses and raven Claw loses second place, Like yeah,
like it's that you have to remember that this is
a children's series written from a limited point of view.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah, good reminders to all of us, right, yeah, all right,
Well that was our qq sorry, that was our WWT
qqot WB. So I'm sorry to everybody who was looking
forward to that, because now it's over and it's going
to be until next time that you'll get to hear
that amazing segment.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Yes, when I say.
Speaker 3 (49:53):
You, okay, well, did we hit all of our segments
or do we have anything left to go over with
this page? Martha Meme of the week of course, oh right,
Meme of the week, And I don't have a good
meme of the there's too much pressure on me. Now,
memes need to be more organically generated from in my mind.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Yeah, because you were just to be blored.
Speaker 3 (50:17):
That's that's the thing. And when I don't have this
pressure on me, I just churn them out. But when
I when I we have a segment of meme of
the week, it's too much pressure. I crack.
Speaker 2 (50:27):
Yeah, do you have a meme? Uh? I'm trying to
think of like memes about not being able to hear something.
Speaker 3 (50:38):
I feel like Lockhart has always a little bit reminded
me of creepy Wonka.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
I was just gonna say, well, I was gonna say
that Harry Harry is kind of uh acting like the
Wonka picture. I guess, oh, what about the the Drake
meme of like listening to like, you know, holding up
(51:04):
the hand like not doing this, and then it's like, yeah,
I'll do this, So it'd be like listening to what
Lockhart's saying listening to creepy voice of the pipes.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
I think. Yeah. The other thing I have an issue
with with Meme of the Week is that I just
don't have the same meme lexicon that you seem to have,
Like we're like to me, I don't. I can't just
like think of all the memes that exist in the
Internet and then come up with one.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
I have, And yet you're the meme lord of this podcast.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
No, I sometimes create my own memes.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Okay, so that's so, do you want to create your
own meme today? No?
Speaker 3 (51:41):
Again, when we have the segment, it's almost too much pressure.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
Okay, Oh talking to the wall. That could be Lockhart.
Speaker 3 (51:51):
What's that meme? I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
It's like the guy talking to a brick wall and
he's like using his hands to gesture like he's talking
really seriously. It's just a brick wall.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
Okay, Yeah, that could be Harry.
Speaker 2 (52:04):
No, that's Lockhart. Oh.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
I thought you were saying Harry like when he was
trying to talk to Lockhart about hearing the voice.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
Oh no, I was saying Lockhart is talking about how
Oh yeah, like just in general, Yeah, just labbing and
the walls just sitting there.
Speaker 3 (52:21):
Yeah. All right, Well there's our meme of the week.
Speaker 2 (52:27):
It was great, So I think it's always great.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
I think all that is left is to do our
dice roll. So this is always an exciting moment, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
Very well we didn't we didn't.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
Uh oh, we didn't rank.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
The page yet either.
Speaker 3 (52:40):
I personally, this one is going to be up there.
Speaker 1 (52:42):
I know we only do King of the Hill. So
what do you think? Is this better or worse than
the elf tails page that we had.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
I don't think it's better than the elf tails page. Unfortunately,
this was a very good page.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
Yeah, I know, it's hard to beat that elf Tail's page.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Tails page was amazing.
Speaker 3 (53:02):
Plus that one had more stuff that we could analyze too,
like that or I mean it had all the like
it fit more naturally with our segments, yeah, exactly, whereas
this one it was like it was almost two flawless
or something.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
Yeah, I think that's yeah, it doesn't quite rate it
right up there. Yeah, but if we were doing a
real ranking, then this would still be this would be
pretty high.
Speaker 3 (53:29):
I think this would be second at this point. I mean,
I not that I will be able to remember forever,
but like I can't remember reading a page. I enjoyed
this much other like, other than the elf tails page.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
Right exactly. Well, the the Imperious Curse scene with Moody
was pretty good too.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
Yeah, it was but it wasn't as funny.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
Well Moody cleared those desks alas, oh he cleared the desks.
Speaker 3 (53:54):
There was more humble brags. That's what I enjoyed the
segments more and some of the other ones.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
But yeah, that's true. All right, ready for the dice roll.
Speaker 1 (54:01):
I'm so ready.
Speaker 3 (54:02):
I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
All right, Book four okay, page three fifty eight.
Speaker 3 (54:10):
Okay, so they'll probably just be arriving at Hogwarts.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
Yeah exactly, Yeah, okay, three fifty eight. Yeah, and this
is our second book four. We still have not done
a book one or book seven.
Speaker 3 (54:25):
Yeah, so we know that they'll be at Hogwarts at
this point.
Speaker 2 (54:30):
Yeah, it's gonna be I'm guessing like it'd be like
yule Ball time. That's what I was gonna say, either
yule Ball or second Task even yeah, somewhere in there,
or like, yeah, maybe listening to the egg.
Speaker 1 (54:47):
Moaning myrtle, that'd be a good one.
Speaker 3 (54:51):
We can only hope that we'll get Myrtle in there.
Speaker 2 (54:54):
Yeah exactly. Yeah, we still haven't gotten books one or
book seven. But in other news, I did order some dice,
so we'll see when they get here.
Speaker 3 (55:06):
We'll see if there may be weighted dice that have
more of a emphasis on the high numbers.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Or the low numbers.
Speaker 2 (55:12):
Yeah, or just always give me the same numbers. We'll see.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
Okay, all right, so we'll be we'll probably be doing
this again next week.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
What do you think, Martha, I think so, unless tim
suddenly becomes available.
Speaker 3 (55:25):
The thing with the one page at a time format
is that I kind of like doing a chunk of
them at once.
Speaker 2 (55:29):
I do too.
Speaker 3 (55:31):
I'm not sure how listeners feel about that, so let
us know if you feel strongly one way or the other.
But I kind of feel like we get into a
little bit more of a flow with the format, and yeah,
just being the fact that we are doing one page

then you know, yeah, so all right, Well we will
plan on that for next week unless our Take five
schedule opens up, but we will be doing book four.
So Goblet of Fire, page three fifty eight. Make sure
in the meantime that you are following us on all
of our social media and visiting us on our website.
