What is your one purpose in life?

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is morning somewhere.

For March 9, 2020, 6.

So early.

My name is Bernie Burns, sitting right over there. She is no man. It's Ashley Burns.

Say hi to Ashley, everybody. I'm so man. Do you think when Tolkien came up with that, do you think, like, as he was writing that down, he was like, oh, this is so fucking good.

And then he had no idea that it was going to go on to become a whole trope. People like that moment. I think it's kind of weird because I think if, like, that moment actually happens, she rips her helmet off. I'll talk about the Lord of the Rings with the battle between the ring wraith and her name is Gwyniflith. Something. She's from the from Rohan the shield maiden of Roadhand she takes off her helmet she goes he says no man Aywin Aywin Aowin That was the one of the storms here wasn't it Yeah it was It was one of the storms You know she Ringgrace says No man can kill me And she rips off her helmet she goes, I am no man. And she kills him and stabs him of the storms. You know, she did the ring race says, no man can kill me and she

rips off her helmet. She goes, I am no man. And she kills him and stabs him in the face. A little bit of a spoiler there. But it seems like to me, suspension of disbelief that really what would happen, she would do that. And the ringwraith would just like put his sword through her head and go, that's not the way that rule.

That's semantics.

You understand that, right?

Another ring wraith walks up and goes, what did she say? She said that she wasn't a man because she's a woman that it didn't apply to her. It's like, that's not what that rule means. No, that's why I told her. We're going to have to rewrite that thing make it clearer see I'm imagining the

the ring red gets stabbed

and he's like fucking monkey's paw

goddamn I knew I should have phrased that better

I should have used better language in the contract

made it clearer

damn

and instead here I am stuck dying

this is bullshit

this is going to look so bad for the press
