| 0:00.0 | Meet the quick mind that restlessly combs through the smallest of clues as it roams. |
| 0:14.0 | From initial confusion to triumphant conclusion, my friends, here we have Sherlock Holmes. |
| 0:20.0 | My friends. |
| 0:21.1 | Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| 0:22.0 | That is the study in scarlet limerick by Isaac Asimov, which I just figured why not included here since they do touch on some of that dialogue in the intro to the play, and we're not likely to have another place to stick that one in. |
| 0:35.1 | So there you have it. |
| 0:37.0 | I wrote a limerick also, though. |
| 0:38.8 | Really? |
| 0:39.4 | Yeah. Can you play the music again? |
| 0:41.7 | Go for it. |
| 0:44.3 | Two Jeremy's and an Edward collude on a story of homes slightly skewed. |
| 0:50.1 | On the stage, they took flight, to the audience audience delight when the Secret of Sherlock debuted. |
| 0:56.0 | Very nice. I actually did a Google search to try to find a limerick about the play and I didn't see any so I should have just asked you. I didn't even think too. |
| 1:05.0 | There you go. Yeah. Well I didn't think there'd be one so I just wanted to be ready. |
| 1:09.0 | Yeah, that's great. Well, hello everyone.. I mean, we're back after quite a hiatus, but happy to be here talking about Sherlock Holmes. Yeah, I mean, this is a pretty thick episode, diving deep into this to this place. I hope it was worth the wait. I mean, I really like what you did. I actually got to listen to it this time around, so I like the intro that you made. So it felt like, you know, we're making our way into the theater. |
| 1:33.0 | Oh yeah. |
| 1:33.4 | In Guildford, which was cool because that's where Brett Con also debuted. |
| 1:36.6 | Well, and I figured how many chances are we going to have to do something like that, so it would be fun. |
| 1:40.5 | I do wonder if this one will end up being a little short, just given kind of the limitations of what we can really discuss about it. I mean, there's no visuals to talk about. And most people haven't seen it, so we can't really dive into our favorite moments. And there's no book, you know, it's not based on one story. So, you know, there's no, it's, I don't know, I'm sure we'll find something to waffle about. But you know what? Just to hang on the limerick for a moment, I was actually just in New York City a few days ago. And I paid a brief visit to the mysterious bookshop, which is a famous Sherlockian bookstore that we've talked about a few times on the show. It was a mixed experience. They didn't seem to have a ton of interesting stock at the moment, like no colliers, |
| 2:18.7 | no strand, that kind of thing. It's always a neat place to check out, though, at least. Yeah, |
| 2:25.0 | yeah. And it might have just been the moment I happened to drop in, who knows. But I went up to |
| 2:29.1 | the register and I noticed a print for sale |
