0:00.0	Long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to Kingslingers, a doof media podcast journeying
0:21.5	through Stephen King's Dark Tower series. As always, my name is Scott Daly, and I am a constant
0:26.7	reader, and we, we are one way. And that's Matt Freeman. This week on the show, we inch
0:36.7	closer and closer to the tower as we
0:39.5	cover chapters 5, 6, and 7 and finish up part one of this final novel. Jake gets caught in a
0:45.7	mind trap, but is saved by his best friend Oi, and Roland Nettie officially recruit John Cullum
0:50.5	as a board member of the Tet Corporation. Then our Katotet is whole once again, but for how long?
0:58.1	Matt, what did you think of this week's reading?
1:00.1	Well, for those of you still listening after that intro, I loved it, of course, as has been
1:07.4	told to me many times, this is an unusual book in a lot of ways.
1:13.7	I love the mind trap stuff.
1:15.6	We're going to have a lot of fun talking about, I think, just the writing.
1:19.6	Like, I mean, a lot of stuff.
1:21.1	But I think my favorite thing about that section was the writing and how it makes you feel, how it really sucks you in.
1:28.9	And then the John Colum stuff is just sort of classic King making you fall in love with the character pretty
1:34.3	quickly if you weren't already in love with him, which you should have been, honestly.
1:37.5	Sure, sure. Yeah, I think, you know, I've said this many times and I think it's never been
1:42.0	more true than in this week's episode. There are a lot of things I remember from this book very clearly. There are a lot of
1:49.3	moments in this book that I will remember for the rest of my life. This week's readings were not
1:55.0	typically one of those moments. This is one of those passages that in the rush to get through
2:00.7	this book as fast as possible the first time I read it, these are these moments that kind of fell to the wayside. But I am so appreciative of the show and this project because it gets me, it forces me to spend time on these moments that still might not be things that I really stick in my memory when I think about the dark tower, but are very
2:17.5	important moments and very beautiful moments and beautifully written moments by Stephen King.
