00:00Hello, what and all, I'm your humble dance master,
00:04and those are righteous wrestlers.
00:06Say hi, righteous wrestlers.
00:08Hi, righteous wrestlers.
00:09Were those words?
00:11No.
00:11Slow it down.
00:12What is a word?
00:13A word is a symbol that conveys a meaning,
00:17and if you understood my meaning,
00:18then how can we say that the symbol was not the word?
00:21Oh, no, no, no.
00:23The things you learn on this show.
00:24Wow.
00:25Beautiful.
00:26Beautiful.
00:27Beautiful.
00:28I think I'm just learning so much.
00:30I'll tell you what's beautiful, that fucking victory was.
00:33Oh, was it ever?
00:34Beautiful.
00:35Sweet, sweet victory.
00:36Sweet, sweet victory.
00:38The character development through that fight,
00:40through that episode.
00:41Character growth through combat.
00:44Guys, you nailed it.
00:45Yeah.
00:47That was some huge, huge, huge moments
00:49of character growth and development.
00:51And I will say, I think this, of the battles we've done,
00:53this is our third of this campaign,
00:58this one had the deepest pit of despair.
01:01I feel like you guys had the one where it was like,
01:03it was like, oh, it's hard to see the way out in this moment.
01:07What was your, if there was like a moment that you,
01:09you remember from the battle that you were like,
01:10I don't see us climbing back out from here.
01:12What was the moment for you?
01:13When the, that damn dog wouldn't get off my friends.
01:18That damn dog.
01:19That damn dog wouldn't get off my friends.
01:19This was our first drop, our first drop to Zero.
01:22Intense, very intense.
01:24I didn't know what happened to Zero.
01:26Yeah.
01:27I thought he was a goner and then you really threw me.
01:30Yeah.
01:31I didn't know how to carry on without,
01:33I don't know what happens there.
01:35And I just want to make sure everybody understood the mechanics of the game.
01:38So you don't want to make it a little spicy.
01:40Let's jump out of the ring and I'll die.
01:41You know, you did that on purpose.
01:42Yeah, I should make sure for you guys.
01:44Yeah, for everybody, for the newbies, educational purposes.
01:48Those of you who never played Dungeon and Dragons,
01:50these are the game mechanics, so go watch it.
01:52Yes, right, right, right.
01:53So he'd be making those death states, but he never got to it.
01:55His friend leapt from the ring and healed him.
01:58Incredible.
01:59The healing juices.
02:00The healing hands.
02:01The healing hands.
02:02I've got like real small hands in real life and sometimes people, you see?
02:06Wait.
02:06You're small, right?
02:07Yeah, let's see.
02:08You do love small.
02:09No, compare.
02:10Okay.
02:11I definitely affect your hands.
02:12Oh, man.
02:13These are real small hands.
02:15Oh!
02:15All that to say it felt good to use my hands for something positive and have them,
02:19you know what I mean?
02:20Some adulation for my hands.
02:22For your hands.
02:22The healing hands.
02:23This is what it's all been about.
02:24Can I eat this big burger with these little legs?
02:27Oh, I'll just pick up a vegan.
02:30What?
02:32The cheeseburger didn't tip when dating you.
02:34Your hands are so small that you're five guys.
02:36Oh!
02:37Yeah.
02:38No, no!
02:39I'll just eat my Carolina snacks forever!
02:42You ever heard of this?
02:43Oh!
02:44Sorry.
02:45No, you're great.
02:46That's what happens.
02:47That's what happens.
02:48I know, we're loopy.
02:48We've been going ham.
02:49We've filmed this whole thing in two days.
02:52We had...
02:53Oh, I didn't know we were allowed to say that.
02:55Who's gonna stop us?
02:57Curious.
02:57You're crazy.
02:58Not on mine.
02:59We had this incredible character growth moment.
03:02An incredible character growth moment, the use of the banishment.
03:05He banished Cerberus back to the underworld.
03:08Yeah.
03:08He banished while simultaneously really reinventing himself to the group.
03:14Yes.
03:14Because he was on the outs, you know what I mean?
03:17Wow.
03:17We're thinking about this.
03:18Well, it was such a...
03:18Thinking about it on my lunch break.
03:20Yeah.
03:21I was eating my fajitas while I was thinking.
03:24You forgave Julius over lunch.
03:26Yeah.
03:26Beautiful.
03:26I forgive you.
03:27Well, it was such a...
03:28Especially like the last episode where you guys were fighting nature's wrath and you had this big dance battle and
03:33it was so victorious.
03:34And we started this episode on such a high note.
03:37And then piece by piece, party animals destroyed by Poseidon.
03:41Waves came and crashed in and destroyed the bar.
03:45You rebuilt it.
03:46People are on your side.
03:47But then we have this incredible...
03:49I love this scene with the gods.
03:51With Apollo and Artemis and Hermes where they're trying to convince you like,
03:55Hey, if you guys bow out of the tournament, we can make all your dreams come true.
03:59And you guys turn them down.
04:01Which it's...
04:02I think that that was some really incredible storytelling on your guys' part.
04:06And specifically because it is the noble thing to refuse that offer.
04:13It is the noble thing not to sell out.
04:15But there's just that wrinkle because of Julius's desire for revenge.
04:20And so it's like, it's not like he's wrong.
04:23He's not saying wrong.
04:24Like you would be selling out the people by taking those wishes and bowing out of the tournament.
04:29But he also has...
04:31It's like that thing where you say one thing that is true, but there's another thing that's also true.
04:36And you're not saying that second thing.
04:38It's like...
04:39I thought it was very cool.
04:41It was a very...
04:42It was an awesome story beat that was totally earned.
04:46All the feelings of friction were so real.
04:51In that moment, were you guys like...
04:54When you...
04:56Like did you...
04:57Because I know we did like the flashback, but discovering that about Julius in that time.
05:01Were you like caught off guard?
05:04Or were you like, wait a minute, yeah.
05:05Like you do have another dog in this fight other than the team.
05:09Or were you like...
05:10What was the emotion you were feeling in that moment where Julius like...
05:13I think it was written on my face.
05:15Julius told us.
05:16Or in the moment when it like...
05:18When he revealed his secret to you.
05:20When Julius was like, I am the son of Christ.
05:21I feel like we said it was anger.
05:23Anger, yeah.
05:24Just the timing of it.
05:25You know what I mean?
05:26Like if we had gone into that and we knew that information...
05:29Yes.
05:30You know, we most likely would have decided to keep on going and everything.
05:33But the fact that it was withheld from us...
05:35Yes.
05:35Made it feel a little bit dirty now.
05:38It's like, well, now we're questioning your motives.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Because like, you know, we could have had everything that we set out to have.
05:45And I thought it was therefore that choice to banish Cerberus.
05:49To be like...
05:50Because in terms of like, how do you regain trust in that moment?
05:54Mm-hmm.
05:54And it's going, oh, I have asked for people to risk their dreams.
06:04I have asked Adonis to risk his dream.
06:06I've asked Tabitha to risk her dream.
06:08And I'm going to show them that I'm willing to do the same.
06:11Right?
06:12Sacrifice.
06:13Wow.
06:13Right?
06:14For the team.
06:15For the team.
06:16Beautiful.
06:17She's still not in love.
06:18She's still not in love.
06:19No, you know what I was thinking of?
06:21I was really, as I said, yeah, I just want...
06:24I was just agreeing.
06:25I was really thinking of Mr. H.
06:27Mr. H.
06:27Oh!
06:28I was really thinking of Mr. H.
06:29And I'm just like, yeah.
06:30Yeah.
06:30Your sister screwed us.
06:32Yeah.
06:33What the fuck?
06:34Hippolodomus.
06:34I can never trust Mr. H again.
06:36How do I know?
06:37How do you know?
06:37I'm going to need a code word.
06:38Well, we're going to ask.
06:40Yeah.
06:40We're going to need a code word.
06:41But that, oh, I felt so...
06:43You know, you guys, it's like, it's your first time in the Dome.
06:46We're all playing for the first time.
06:47I do hate to put a jammy on my players like that.
06:50But that moment when Austin and you were like...
06:53There was a moment of like, what the fuck?
06:54Like, what's wrong with Mr. H?
06:56Why did he forget?
06:56And I just looked over at Austin and he went, no!
07:00Truly, he's shame-shifting!
07:03Fully called it.
07:04Fully, fully called it.
07:05That was smooth.
07:06I didn't even know it was possible.
07:08Of course.
07:08The gods.
07:09The gods.
07:09I didn't even know it was possible.
07:11Anything's possible here, dude.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Well, I'm learning that.
07:14That's the same thing.
07:15Damn.
07:16And I'll say this.
07:17Look, sometimes the impossible being possible works against you, like Aphrodite shape-shifting
07:22to learn the secret of the son of Kronos.
07:24Other times impossible things being possible works for you.
07:27Like when a house cat successfully grapples a three-headed dog.
07:31Yeah.
07:31That was absolutely buck wild.
07:34That doesn't surprise me.
07:35I've got cats, man.
07:37They do some crazy shit.
07:39Okay?
07:40I did.
07:41You know what?
07:42You are right.
07:43I remember there was this cat, Lewis, that my aunt had who was like a 30-year-old cat.
07:48He was the oldest cat in the world.
07:49He was very overweight.
07:50No, that's old as hell.
07:51He was very, very overweight.
07:53He did not smell great.
07:55And straight up, a German Shepherd came into the yard and was like going for him.
08:00And he did a move I've never seen a cat do, which is he whipped his butt and threw himself
08:05butt first.
08:07Oh.
08:07And he was like a, like a, I don't know, like a 28-pound cat and slammed into the dog's
08:13face and it ran off barking and never came back.
08:15Wow.
08:16Cats, man.
08:16And he's still running to this day.
08:18And then he just laid back down and was like.
08:19Laid back down.
08:19Yeah.
08:20And he was like, my final act.
08:22My final act in this life.
08:24Tell them.
08:24My sword song.
08:25Tell them what you saw.
08:26Tell them my story.
08:27Tell them about Lewis the cat.
08:28Dungeons and dragons.
08:30There it is.
08:30Exactly.
08:31The epicness is everywhere.
08:32We had this incredible grappling cat.
08:35We charmed the serpent king.
08:36We table topped him.
08:37And specifically, too, we did this incredible jump attack pin move after.
08:46Because you could have won the match before.
08:49You could have won the match through disqualification.
08:51Yeah.
08:52But you gotta be cocky about it.
08:53You know?
08:53You gotta show off a little bit.
08:55Well, and I think, too, it's that idea of like, you gotta show off a little bit.
08:58And especially because it's one of those things where it's like, there's the battle and the war.
09:03And you're like, okay, if we get him disqualified right now, we win the battle for sure.
09:10But the whole thing is that the crowd is scared right now.
09:13They are scared of what's going on.
09:15And the fact that you say, don't disqualify.
09:18Think about it this way.
09:19If you had won in that moment, Adonis wouldn't have made his speech and they wouldn't have booed Zeus.
09:26So it's like keeping the fight going long.
09:28Right?
09:29So it's like, if you called the match right then, you don't get that move.
09:32You don't get the fear spell.
09:34You don't get Adonis going up and being like, as I said.
09:37And fully owning that statement from the first episode where you say, as I said, you can't oppose these gods,
09:42right?
09:43You do not have to do as they say.
09:45Yeah.
09:45We already got that far.
09:47We already said no to their offer.
09:48Like, why would we just be like, cool, yeah, give it to us.
09:50We already fought this far.
09:53They've come all this way.
09:54And now it's that thing where you really see that.
09:56It's like all of that other work paying off.
09:58All the party animals, the free drinks, having fun, the dance battle, building that rapport with the crowd.
10:03And then going all the way into this final act where one of these kids wearing the death mask boos
10:10Zeus.
10:11And the crowd starts to boo.
10:12As you saw in that very first episode where you're like, why are they cheering for this guy abusing them?
10:17And it's like, they're scared.
10:18And then this moment of just being like, you know, seeing you take the amphora and slam it into the
10:24Serpent King's chest and pin him.
10:26That finishing move was so sick.
10:27Just like, we were having a giant jug of wine and pinning someone under the wine to the mat.
10:33Yeah, that's the way to go.
10:35That's the way to go.
10:35Legendary.
10:37Absolutely legendary.
10:40Sick as hell.
10:41Calling a spade a spade.
10:42That is what it is.
10:43That's fucking legendary.
10:44You guys are epic.
10:47Well, you've moved now to the finals.
10:50Oh, this is going to be crazy, guys.
10:53That last one was crazy.
10:55But now we fight each other.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Oh, no.
10:59So in the finals, in the finals of the Titan takedown, the way the tournament is structured is it's all
11:07of you fighting each other and then there's one seat on Olympus.
11:13Only one person, only one person wins.
11:16That's the structure of the tournament.
11:18That's what the gods have set forward as the structure of the tournament.
11:22So, going into the next episode.
11:24The structure, though.
11:25Mm-hmm.
11:26So.
11:26Need to be broken.
11:28Mm-hmm.
11:29Going into the next episode, you've certainly got the gods' attention.
11:33And it was very, like, that, oh, and we also forgot to say, like, you were supposed to fight the
11:37cursed.
11:38You got screwed.
11:39Oh, we forgot about that.
11:41Bait and switch.
11:42Yeah, bait and switch.
11:44They destroyed the bar.
11:46They made you this offer.
11:47They tried to get you to sell out.
11:49And then they come back in and they get these two killers who throw the ref in the garbage can.
11:54Oh, my God.
11:54No respect.
11:56Peacock.
11:57I wonder what the commentary team thought about that.
11:59I know.
12:00We haven't heard from Cassandra Norfolk.
12:01Look at her arms.
12:02Oh, my God.
12:03Oh, my God.
12:04What the hell?
12:04Oh, my God.
12:06Is she wearing a top?
12:07Can you believe?
12:07I think so.
12:08Yeah, she is.
12:09She's got a little halter top on.
12:11There you go.
12:12It's cute.
12:14And this looks like Taker.
12:15Ultimate Warrior from the back.
12:18Who from the front?
12:19I can't see the front.
12:21Cute.
12:21You can pick her up and look at her if you want.
12:22Take a look.
12:23Yeah, getting the ref in the trash can.
12:25I thought that was so clutch.
12:27Totally different.
12:28Chelsea, those Nat 20s.
12:30Oh, my God.
12:30Let's go.
12:32Cat 20.
12:33Cat 20.
12:33I don't know what's going on with these paws, but they're working magic.
12:37It's a magic magic magic.
12:38Springing the ref out of the garbage can was absolutely huge.
12:43Whoa.
12:43But was it?
12:44Yeah.
12:44I don't know, man.
12:45That was one that I thought was going to pay off quicker.
12:48Right.
12:48Do you know what I mean?
12:49I didn't know he was still going to be unconscious, and then I didn't know we were going to have
12:52to wake him up, and then he wasn't going to call things until the end of the round.
12:56It all worked out.
12:57It did.
12:57It worked out.
12:58It did.
12:58It did.
12:59It did.
13:00If he would have called it, as soon as he got out like we wanted to, we wouldn't have
13:03got the moment, like you said.
13:05Bam.
13:06You set it in motion.
13:07It happened justice.
13:08Everything's built towards that collective victory.
13:10And bringing the ref back up with the amphora, all built to that collective victory.
13:15I want to give a little bit of extra love here at the end of the episode to Lockett Studios,
13:20which does the incredible Greek history illustrations for all of our great, the Agora and the city
13:25and all that other stuff from Tyler Lockett, Derek Christensen-Rubio, Brian on our projections,
13:30and for our miniatures, Jesse Heron, Maura Takashita, and Kai Kagawa.
13:34Thank you so much.
13:35Yes.
13:35Incredible work.
13:36Isn't the same Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks, by chance?
13:40No?
13:41It's got to be a different Tyler Lockett, right?
13:43I think so, unless he does great miniatures.
13:45What?
13:45We'd love that for him, too.
13:46In his off time.
13:47He's just off season.
13:48In his off time.
13:50That'd be crazy.
13:51Damn.
13:51He's a cobbler, too.
13:52He's a cobbler, too.
13:53My fantasy team.
13:55The work on these minis was absolutely so sick.
13:58We had the...
13:59Putting more?
14:00Yeah, we had...
14:00Thank God we didn't get to that point.
14:02Oh, that would've been bad.
14:02Oh, no, you just had...
14:03It would've been so bad out there.
14:05He had so many more heads.
14:06He had so many heads.
14:07Look at this dude.
14:08That's so sick.
14:09Well...
14:09That's so sick.
14:10You won't have to worry about those other heads.
14:11Magnet.
14:11But you will have to worry about the gods themselves.
14:14Next week!
14:14On our next and final episode of Titan Takedown.
14:17We'll see you there.
14:18Final.
14:20It's final.
14:20The final countdown.
14:22It's time to Ofatina Takedown.
14:24BadaÃa tida.
14:26BadaÃa tida.
14:26Badaaa.
14:28Badaa.
