We squeezed it, squeezing it. 00;00;04;15 - 00;00;06;26 Mark We have a more important thing to talk about. 00;00;07;06 - 00;00;10;04 Sarah More important than lung water and transplant. 00;00;10;05 - 00;00;10;17 Mark Yes. 00;00;25;00 - 00;00;26;01 Sarah Hey, maniac. 00;00;26;01 - 00;00;28;15 Mark Hey, mystery man. 00;00;28;24 - 00;00;31;15 Sarah Welcome to Mystery Maniacs.

Zany kind of loony is one thing, but Zany kind of captures. 00;00;53;26 - 00;01;01;08 Mark If you haven't watched the the first episode of Brokenwood and the trailer for the new season of Brokenwood. Zany is the word. 00;01;01;09 - 00;01;01;23 Mark Yes. 00;01;02;22 - 00;01;14;00 Sarah Today we're covering Murdoch. Season one, Episode eight Still Waters. We are going to spoil this. Yes. If you have not seen this episode and you don't want to know who the killer is, don't listen. 00;01;14;06 - 00;01;22;20 Mark And if you can walk through the your children can walk through the forest with an ex-spouse of yours and talk about spanking, then you. 00;01;22;27 - 00;01;23;22 Sarah Then they can listen. 00;01;23;23 - 00;01;25;14 Mark You can listen to this episode. 00;01;25;20 - 00;01;28;05 Sarah They weren't married. It wasn't Julia's ex-spouse. 00;01;28;07 - 00;01;29;12 Mark So, no. 00;01;29;24 - 00;01;31;12 Sarah Actually, that's a bit more serious. 00;01;31;13 - 00;01;49;07 Mark What goes on in Sherbrooke stays in Sherbrooke.

It's ovarian cancer month right now and we're also going to match whatever you purchase. 00;02;04;10 - 00;02;06;28 Sarah Based on merch and donation. 00;02;07;07 - 00;02;07;19 Mark If you. 00;02;07;19 - 00;02;08;03 Sarah Get a shirt. 00;02;08;05 - 00;02;21;18 Mark We don't have Murdoch stuff. There's stickers you can get you can get t shirts with the show logo on them. And also, if you haven't watched Midsomer, Hey, it's a heck of a show. Yeah. And then you'll get all the jokes. 00;02;21;26 - 00;02;22;15 Mark That's the. 00;02;22;15 - 00;02;23;03 Mark Jokes. 00;02;23;03 - 00;02;25;01 Sarah But today, Dead ringers. 00;02;25;10 - 00;02;31;18 Mark Yes. So this is episode eight of season one. Still watch. 00;02;31;22 - 00;02;33;07 Sarah Which we've already said, baby. 00;02;33;12 - 00;02;34;23 Mark Oh, we did. Yes. Okay. 00;02;34;29 - 00;02;39;11 Sarah Yes. And you said when it aired and who directed it? Okay. Thank you. Thank you. 00;02;39;22 - 00;02;41;13 Mark I'm getting the brain right. It's. 00;02;42;09 - 00;02;43;28 Sarah It's that mean your brain's getting right? 00;02;44;02 - 00;02;45;26 Mark No arthritis of the brain. 00;02;46;00 - 00;02;48;08 Sarah Oh, okay. Right. It's brain is. 00;02;49;09 - 00;02;50;27 Mark Right. His brain is Broca's. 00;02;52;09 - 00;03;02;09 Sarah Okay. This is the first of many episodes to come in, Murdoch, where kids find somebody dead in water at the beginning of an episode. 00;03;02;09 - 00;03;08;20 Mark It is a common theme. So much so they play on it. It's a robot later. Yeah. 00;03;09;01 - 00;03;13;16 Sarah And another season. But these kids are playing hide and seek. 00;03;13;16 - 00;03;14;02 Mark Yes. 00;03;14;10 - 00;03;15;06 Sarah And they find. 00;03;15;14 - 00;03;15;23 Mark A dead. 00;03;15;28 - 00;03;16;07 Sarah Man. 00;03;16;07 - 00;03;24;27 Mark So they still used reference to hide and seek. I can find is a Greek game called Apple Dead Rats. Kinda. 00;03;25;02 - 00;03;25;13 Sarah What? 00;03;25;22 - 00;03;27;05 Mark That's what it's called. 00;03;27;06 - 00;03;28;17 Sarah Apo did rest. Kinda. 00;03;28;20 - 00;03;34;04 Mark Yes. AP odi ID ask India. 00;03;34;15 - 00;03;37;09 Sarah Hey Bobby, do you want to go play Apple or is kinda. 00;03;39;02 - 00;03;40;18 Mark One apple risking. 00;03;40;18 - 00;03;43;28 Sarah Death? I'll be too. You'll be risking that? Is that what we're saying? 00;03;44;24 - 00;03;49;24 Mark Julius Pollocks in the second century wrote about it. He's a Greek writer. 00;03;49;29 - 00;03;53;13 Sarah I thought you were going to say Julius Caesar, plain apple risk kind of stuff. 00;03;54;21 - 00;03;57;23 Mark Well, he might have. It's Giles. Yeah, but he was Roman. 00;03;57;23 - 00;03;59;12 Sarah So Caligula might have played it. 00;03;59;23 - 00;04;00;25 Mark He was also Rome. 00;04;00;25 - 00;04;06;11 Sarah Here, I'll hide a giant poisonous snake in your pants. You see if you can find it. 00;04;06;20 - 00;04;11;20 Mark There was a painting discovered in Herculaneum that had kids playing hide and seek. 00;04;11;22 - 00;04;19;05 Sarah Oh. How did they know they were playing hide and seek? Was there a kid leaning against a tree covering his eyes? Was there a speech balloon with numbers in it? 00;04;19;08 - 00;04;26;12 Mark It's amazing what you could find. I read loads of Roman Greek. 00;04;27;28 - 00;04;30;08 Sarah V i v i. Hi there. 00;04;30;08 - 00;04;30;26 Mark I come. 00;04;33;12 - 00;04;37;26 Sarah Who's got it right? His brain is now I get of Greek and Roman mixed stuff. 00;04;38;04 - 00;05;05;11 Mark So there's a common thing that I'm actually going to provide a service for a couple of times. This episode, most people who arrive in Toronto who are not used to Toronto say seagulls, because we're in the middle of the continent. Yeah. And Toronto, though, is near Lake Ontario, which is a giant lake. If you're not used to the great Lakes, you think, Oh, they're lakes like the lake. 00;05;05;11 - 00;05;06;09 Mark In my neighborhood. 00;05;06;10 - 00;05;09;13 Sarah There are gulls that are not sea gulls. 00;05;09;15 - 00;05;12;10 Mark Oh, I know the lake that I grew. I think seagulls. 00;05;12;10 - 00;05;16;15 Sarah I think there's ah, I think there's a thing that's like. There is no such thing as a seagull. 00;05;16;22 - 00;05;18;25 Mark Yeah, it's. It is. 00;05;19;01 - 00;05;20;16 Sarah We get you are Indiana. 00;05;20;16 - 00;05;28;02 Mark Your absolute only Correct but I've been in Toronto with people from not from Toronto. Yeah but like seagulls. 00;05;28;02 - 00;05;32;24 Sarah They underestimate the size of the lake in fact that they're connected and they do lead to the ocean eventually. 00;05;32;24 - 00;05;37;24 Mark Yes. What do you do when you find a dead dude? Runaway phone. Come with this. Dead. 00;05;38;01 - 00;05;39;25 Sarah Well, yeah. You got to come with a stick. 00;05;40;02 - 00;05;40;12 Mark With a. 00;05;40;12 - 00;05;44;17 Sarah Stick. You got to say, sir, sir. And then you come with a stick. 00;05;44;17 - 00;05;52;18 Mark Yeah. So just remember, if you're going to scare the crap out of little kids by playing dead, get through the serpent or the madam part. 00;05;52;23 - 00;05;54;02 Sarah And then hop up before they poke. 00;05;54;02 - 00;05;58;26 Mark You with the snow. Even go through the poke with the stick part and then hop up. Oh, you got it. 00;05;58;26 - 00;06;00;11 Sarah Depends how hard they poke you. 00;06;00;12 - 00;06;02;03 Mark It's hilarious. 00;06;04;13 - 00;06;17;03 Sarah Oh, I don't want to float face down in water long enough for some kids to find me to snorkel or something. Meanwhile, back at the cop shop, Murdoch has a prototype of a lie detector machine. 00;06;17;03 - 00;06;21;15 Mark And this is where Murdoch is getting good with screening. 00;06;21;28 - 00;06;37;04 Sarah Home? Yes. Yeah. This is one of many, many times when Murdoch, quote, invents something and quote ahead of it's reality or he's up with the times of what scientists are doing elsewhere and trying it on his own or something. 00;06;37;06 - 00;06;47;25 Mark Now, long time listeners may have known that I did dissertation work on deception, which included machine deception detection, which is why we have a lie detector. 00;06;48;01 - 00;06;50;29 Sarah So it's about four feet away from me right now. 00;06;51;03 - 00;07;04;21 Mark Yes, it makes this noise when it starts up, which is excellent. 00;07;04;24 - 00;07;06;07 Sarah You use that sound before I. 00;07;06;08 - 00;07;08;03 Mark Let you use that sound before. 00;07;08;04 - 00;07;18;02 Sarah Well, but what he's invented is a new monograph. Yes. Which is different than a polygraph. Yes. In that it only detects your breathing rate. 00;07;18;08 - 00;07;26;06 Mark Yes. So this is all under the guise of instruments to detect physiological. 00;07;26;10 - 00;07;28;22 Sarah Signs of stress related x. 00;07;29;00 - 00;07;30;11 Mark Ray, deleted to lie. 00;07;30;11 - 00;07;31;22 Sarah What if you just hold your breath? 00;07;31;28 - 00;07;34;13 Mark All of these things have ways to be beaten. 00;07;34;17 - 00;07;36;29 Sarah But this numerous. You just hold your breath. 00;07;36;29 - 00;07;37;24 Mark Just hold your breath. 00;07;37;26 - 00;07;41;20 Sarah Or do really deep, slow breathing. Oh. 00;07;42;25 - 00;07;43;10 Mark I do that. 00;07;43;10 - 00;07;44;06 Sarah I'm not lying. 00;07;44;08 - 00;07;49;15 Mark I do not want to do my blood pressure thing, which is why I get so immersed all the time. 00;07;49;24 - 00;07;55;19 Sarah Speaking of that. Yes, I have something for you. Oh, okay. I would like you to pronounce this word. 00;07;55;23 - 00;07;58;25 Mark It's the big moment. Menominee. Her. 00;07;58;29 - 00;07;59;26 Sarah What? You want to try again? 00;08;00;02 - 00;08;05;07 Mark The sprig. Sprig. Whole rigmarole. Menominee. 00;08;06;02 - 00;08;09;12 Sarah That is the name. The scientific name for a blood pressure gas. 00;08;09;18 - 00;08;10;01 Mark Okay. 00;08;10;05 - 00;08;11;19 Sarah Signal nanometer. 00;08;11;22 - 00;08;15;25 Mark That's what I said. Straight moment ometer. Yeah, it's big Mo Menominee. 00;08;16;19 - 00;08;17;11 Mark That's what you. 00;08;17;11 - 00;08;20;06 Sarah Did it pretty good job. I did the second time. 00;08;20;13 - 00;08;20;26 Mark Yes. 00;08;21;19 - 00;08;25;05 Sarah It's an unnecessarily fancy word for blood pressure. Coughs. 00;08;25;20 - 00;08;30;26 Mark It is indeed. Sigma. Oh, hand me the big moment Ometer. 00;08;31;01 - 00;08;31;14 Mark Yeah. 00;08;31;19 - 00;08;35;10 Sarah So they talk a little bit about other ways to detect lying. 00;08;35;12 - 00;08;45;26 Mark Okay. They talk about the most typical ways that people say, like, there was a show about a lie detector guy on Fox a number of years ago, and they went through all these. 00;08;45;26 - 00;08;47;16 Sarah Things that lie to me, show, yeah. 00;08;47;16 - 00;08;47;26 Mark Lie to. 00;08;47;26 - 00;08;59;29 Sarah Me. They pass an egg around. Yeah, you suck, right? Yeah. Well, I read an article from 1939 on the history of lie detection all the way back to B.C times. 00;08;59;29 - 00;09;00;16 Mark Nice. 00;09;00;16 - 00;09;05;25 Sarah And extracted a few tasty examples. Okay. That were not mentioning the episode. 00;09;05;28 - 00;09;13;07 Mark As as I mentioned to you, I think I've read this article when I was doing my dissertation work, but I could have forgotten all of it. 00;09;13;19 - 00;09;24;27 Sarah So the first one that I found that I thought was fun is from a Vedic Papyrus 900 B.C.. Okay, okay. Specifically about how to find a poisoner to see if a poisoner is lying. 00;09;24;29 - 00;09;25;16 Mark Okay. 00;09;25;20 - 00;09;49;00 Sarah I don't know why it's so specific. I don't know if you need a different lie detector and, you know, techniques for different kinds of lies. That would be kind of complicated, I think. But and I quote, okay, a person who gives poison may be recognized. He does not answer questions or they are evasive answers. He speaks nonsense, rubs the great toe along the ground and shivers. 00;09;49;07 - 00;09;54;29 Sarah He now is that his big toe or is that like the great toe? 00;09;54;29 - 00;09;55;26 Mark No, it's like. 00;09;56;29 - 00;09;57;13 Mark Okay. 00;09;57;28 - 00;10;04;11 Sarah His face is discolored. He rubs the roots of his hair with his fingers and he tries by every means to leave the house. 00;10;05;19 - 00;10;06;25 Mark That's all liars. 00;10;07;17 - 00;10;18;17 Sarah So if you see somebody rubbing their big toe on the ground and they keep trying to leave, they might be a place in or maybe, I don't know, they might have stabbed somebody, but, you know, move it. 00;10;18;17 - 00;10;20;01 Mark Not your great. 00;10;20;01 - 00;10;26;15 Sarah Oh, yeah. Like if you rub it on the ceiling, you're probably okay. But if you rub it on the floor, all poisoner poisoner. 00;10;26;21 - 00;10;27;27 Mark Great total poisoner. 00;10;27;29 - 00;10;36;24 Sarah Or if you were in the north of Bengal at about the same time, you might have had to endure the red hot iron ordeal. 00;10;37;04 - 00;10;38;25 Mark Oh, this is not good. 00;10;38;26 - 00;10;40;03 Sarah Do you want to guess what it is? 00;10;40;12 - 00;10;49;25 Mark I think you had to hold on to a red hot iron. And if you let go, you were lying. But if you held on, you spoke the truth. 00;10;50;06 - 00;11;01;28 Sarah That's a later version. And what it actually was, was you had to hold it, hold on to it. And if you didn't blister, you were telling the truth. But if you did blister, you were a liar. It's like drowning the hole. 00;11;02;06 - 00;11;04;24 Mark Which is catch 22 instead, which floats. 00;11;05;05 - 00;11;16;17 Sarah Yeah. Now, the red hot iron ordeal at this time was you had to prove your innocence by touching your tongue to a red hot iron nine times. If it burned you, you were put to death. 00;11;17;03 - 00;11;21;05 Mark That bad as are to read that. 00;11;21;24 - 00;11;29;01 Sarah So if your mouth is real spit, it wouldn't burn you. Yeah, right. But if it was dry, it would probably be more likely to burn you. 00;11;29;01 - 00;11;31;01 Mark That's the reasoning behind it. 00;11;31;01 - 00;11;35;02 Sarah So the idea is that liars have dry air mouths because they're nervous? 00;11;35;02 - 00;11;36;02 Mark Yes, I think so. 00;11;36;02 - 00;11;39;25 Sarah I think I'd be nervous if you were going to touch my tongue with a red hot iron nine. 00;11;39;27 - 00;11;41;15 Mark Times that bad that. 00;11;44;19 - 00;11;45;06 Sarah Of course. 00;11;45;26 - 00;11;49;03 Mark Bad burden. It had better. 00;11;49;03 - 00;11;51;04 Sarah Harvey, I. 00;11;52;28 - 00;11;53;05 Mark Know. 00;11;54;14 - 00;12;01;15 Sarah You're nervous. Of course. If it burns you before the ninth time you were put to death. 00;12;01;15 - 00;12;01;26 Mark To. 00;12;02;03 - 00;12;06;23 Sarah Serve it with boiling. Really? The first time you. 00;12;06;29 - 00;12;13;00 Mark Reached that point where they're like this or you're put to death. Yeah. You've failed somewhere. 00;12;13;08 - 00;12;15;09 Sarah Yeah, I've saved the best for last, though. 00;12;15;10 - 00;12;15;24 Mark Okay. 00;12;16;14 - 00;12;25;16 Sarah This is from around 600 B.C.. I was not able to determine where. I'm sorry, but it was called the Ordeal of balance. 00;12;25;21 - 00;12;26;08 Mark Okay. 00;12;26;17 - 00;12;44;13 Sarah So you were put on a scale, and on the other side was a counterbalance that equally balanced you out. So it weighed the same as you. Okay. Okay. Then you get off the scale and the judge would deliver an exhortation about your crimes, about what you're accused of. 00;12;44;24 - 00;12;45;08 Mark Okay. 00;12;45;18 - 00;12;52;12 Sarah Then you got back on the scale. And if you were found to be lighter than before, you were innocent. 00;12;52;16 - 00;12;58;04 Mark That makes no sense at all. It's not scientific. 00;12;59;03 - 00;13;06;05 Sarah But can you guess why it might have worked? Well, maybe not accurately, but why some people might have been acquitted. 00;13;06;12 - 00;13;11;10 Mark You sweat more? Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. 00;13;11;10 - 00;13;12;27 Sarah Like you stand there sweating. 00;13;12;28 - 00;13;14;07 Mark I guess I would. 00;13;14;13 - 00;13;33;06 Sarah So the theory based on metabolic research is that you basically lose about 12 grams an hour constantly just through metabolism. So if you're not eating while you're standing there drinking a bunch of water or whatever, which you certainly would not want to do. Right. You might even be trying to take your clothes off standing there. 00;13;33;06 - 00;13;35;03 Mark Give me a while to go to the bathroom. 00;13;35;03 - 00;13;35;11 Mark Yeah. 00;13;36;00 - 00;13;42;24 Sarah If the judge went on longer, you were more likely to weigh less by the time you got on the scale. 00;13;43;00 - 00;13;43;14 Mark Oh. 00;13;43;22 - 00;13;57;21 Sarah So if you were smart, what you'd argue about while the judge was doing his thing, thereby making it a longer period of time before you got back on the scale. And it was a very, very precise scale, apparently. So you could. 00;13;57;24 - 00;13;59;00 Mark Exist at that time? 00;13;59;15 - 00;14;21;14 Sarah Oh, I think so. That's where there was a weird one from Africa, where all the people who might have done it had to stand in a circle. And this they called him a witchdoctor, went into a trance and would randomly lunge at people and nuzzle their necks and smile at them. Yeah. And then he would go back into the trance and then he would do it again. 00;14;21;14 - 00;14;23;20 Sarah And sometimes it took hours and hours. 00;14;23;20 - 00;14;24;00 Mark Yeah. 00;14;24;08 - 00;14;28;04 Sarah But then he would officially, eventually he would smell somebody and say they did it. 00;14;28;07 - 00;14;29;29 Mark Yeah, I remember hearing about that. 00;14;29;29 - 00;14;43;18 Sarah When that one might work, the longer you stand there, the more nervous you might get, the more you might sweat. And he's just looking for the stinky person. Maybe you're the stinky host in the ring. You did it, and now you weigh less. I'm glad that we don't rely on those things anymore. 00;14;43;19 - 00;14;49;19 Mark Yes, so am I. And I'm also glad we don't make misogynistic jokes like Brackenbury does. 00;14;51;08 - 00;14;54;24 Sarah That his wife is a lie detector. Maybe it's just that he's a bad liar. 00;14;54;25 - 00;14;57;16 Mark I love Margaret. So anything that says. 00;14;57;26 - 00;14;59;14 Sarah Margaret, I can read anything. 00;14;59;14 - 00;15;01;29 Mark That says bad things about Margaret. I don't like. 00;15;02;10 - 00;15;02;22 Sarah Him. 00;15;03;03 - 00;15;04;01 Mark He should be happy. 00;15;04;03 - 00;15;07;12 Sarah But poor Murdock is strapped into his own device. Did he. 00;15;07;12 - 00;15;08;07 Mark Talk himself. 00;15;08;07 - 00;15;15;19 Sarah Into. No. Crabtree helped him, obviously. And then Juliet comes in and they're like, Oh, that's a Julia. Talk about hazing. 00;15;15;19 - 00;15;17;23 Mark Yeah, there's a total hazing. 00;15;17;23 - 00;15;27;11 Sarah He did this to himself, though. Yeah, he should have put Henry in the chair. Instructor Man Yes. Henry is a wee baby in this scene. You see really how young he is. 00;15;27;11 - 00;15;35;11 Mark Why he is that we, baby 22 Ontario Street would have been an actual address in old Toronto. I know where it's between Adelaide and King Street. 00;15;35;14 - 00;15;36;11 Sarah Is it a good neighborhood? 00;15;36;23 - 00;15;37;23 Mark Oh, yes. Super nice. 00;15;37;23 - 00;15;39;10 Sarah Neighborhood. Don't we. Don't know what it was like then. 00;15;39;10 - 00;15;39;26 Mark No, but. 00;15;39;26 - 00;15;41;12 Sarah That's where Murdoch says he lives. 00;15;41;12 - 00;15;44;01 Mark You know, a little street that goes between King and Adelaide. 00;15;44;01 - 00;15;45;27 Sarah So let's go back to the dead body. 00;15;45;28 - 00;15;49;22 Mark You go every Sunday. Oh, George is just perfect in this episode. 00;15;49;22 - 00;15;50;15 Sarah Oh, he is. 00;15;50;15 - 00;15;57;04 Mark He's so good. He's fantastic. Saved by the whistle. And I love how Murdoch is. Get me out of here. 00;15;57;14 - 00;16;02;08 Sarah Oh, yeah. Yes. He's not going to get left behind. It's trapped in. 00;16;02;14 - 00;16;06;10 Mark And we find at the scene of the crime Richard Hartley. 00;16;06;19 - 00;16;08;23 Sarah Is doing some good dead body acting here. 00;16;08;24 - 00;16;09;21 Mark Doing some face. 00;16;09;22 - 00;16;11;04 Sarah He even gets rolled over. 00;16;11;04 - 00;16;15;27 Mark Tastic dead body. I love how Julie is like I know everyone involved now. 00;16;16;01 - 00;16;23;01 Sarah Yes. These are all rich, fancy people, so I know them all. He's a member of the rowing team? Yes. At the rowing club? 00;16;23;07 - 00;16;23;21 Mark Yes. 00;16;23;24 - 00;16;24;16 Sarah Fancy schmancy. 00;16;24;16 - 00;16;30;03 Mark And he has a fiancee with the most fantastic name. Minerva Fairchild. 00;16;30;13 - 00;16;33;08 Sarah It is very much a Richie Rich name. 00;16;33;08 - 00;16;41;13 Mark It is either a Richie Rich name or that's the old lady who lives in the woods. She's away Two years. My Acme. 00;16;41;16 - 00;16;42;16 Sarah Minerva. 00;16;42;18 - 00;16;43;12 Mark Minerva. 00;16;43;26 - 00;17;02;23 Sarah She's played by Charlotte Sullivan. She is so beautiful. She's unfairly pretty. It's not it's not fair for people to be that pretty. But she can't stop smoking constantly. That's all she does is stand around on the bleachers for the rowing club and smoke in a very roughly dress. 00;17;02;29 - 00;17;03;18 Mark Yes. 00;17;03;29 - 00;17;06;20 Sarah Like she looks like a fluffy ice cream cone all the time. 00;17;07;15 - 00;17;15;02 Mark There on the men's eight, getting ready for the upcoming Olympics. There are some problems with that. We are aware of them. 00;17;15;10 - 00;17;26;25 Sarah The problems being that there weren't rowing events in that year of Olympics. Canadians didn't have a team for it. There wasn't an event for it. We're just going to suspend our disbelief and pretend that that was happening. 00;17;26;25 - 00;17;31;17 Mark You know what never gets old. Even at 1895. The broken phone. 00;17;31;29 - 00;17;32;11 Mark Yeah. 00;17;33;10 - 00;17;35;06 Sarah Sorry, sir. I can't hear you. 00;17;35;15 - 00;17;39;16 Mark Hear your line. Click the calls of a prick again. 00;17;39;24 - 00;17;43;08 Mark No word you can read. 00;17;43;08 - 00;17;56;23 Sarah He better hope that that phone was actually hung up before he says that. I don't think I would have trusted phones at that that time to actually have severed the call and have my boss not hear me call him a prick behind his back. 00;17;57;20 - 00;17;58;29 Mark Pull it out of the wall. 00;17;59;22 - 00;18;07;28 Sarah Maybe Mike. Mike. His boss wouldn't know exactly what Bracken is doing. 00;18;07;28 - 00;18;17;16 Mark That's another thing that we've lost. Like we've lost the ability to hang up on somebody that is satisfying. Yeah. You used to hang up a phone. 00;18;17;16 - 00;18;20;15 Sarah You could comment word variable. 00;18;20;17 - 00;18;21;01 Mark Yeah. 00;18;21;09 - 00;18;25;26 Mark Right. The other thing is you can't take the ball the phone out in the wall anymore. 00;18;26;06 - 00;18;27;23 Sarah You can turn your phone off. I could. 00;18;27;23 - 00;18;29;28 Mark Turn it off, but it doesn't have the physical. 00;18;30;02 - 00;18;31;13 Sarah Amount of satisfying. 00;18;31;27 - 00;18;34;00 Mark I'm going to take the phone right out of the wall. 00;18;34;00 - 00;18;41;15 Sarah I'm going to block you, send you straight to voicemail from now on. Haha, it's just not now. It's not as satisfying now. 00;18;41;18 - 00;18;44;29 Mark So I have a question. This is a weird question. 00;18;44;29 - 00;18;45;11 Sarah Okay. 00;18;45;17 - 00;18;47;01 Mark He is on the men's eight team. 00;18;47;05 - 00;18;49;17 Sarah Yes. Okay. Partly is. Yes. Yes. That guy. 00;18;49;22 - 00;18;53;01 Mark He's dead. Yes. The guy who he replaced. 00;18;53;09 - 00;18;54;15 Sarah Last spring course. 00;18;54;15 - 00;18;54;26 Mark Briggs. 00;18;54;26 - 00;18;55;24 Sarah The gardener is. 00;18;55;24 - 00;18;57;16 Mark Out rowing and a single scull. 00;18;57;19 - 00;18;58;02 Sarah Mm hmm. 00;18;58;13 - 00;19;04;03 Mark Okay. There are eight people in the boat. Mm hmm. Who's the eighth guy who's filling in? 00;19;04;03 - 00;19;10;26 Sarah Yeah. And you're not counting the collar at the front, The swain at the front. You're saying they're eight row rowers? 00;19;11;01 - 00;19;12;14 Mark Mm hmm. I counted. 00;19;13;13 - 00;19;35;29 Sarah My arm. Some random dude. Okay, speaking of going, you you correctly said that. Yep. That horse Briggs is in a boat. Do you know why it's a skull? No, because he has to. Oars. Each rower has two oars. It's a skull and skulls. If they only have one or. And they alternate sides each row or alternate sides. It's called a sweep. 00;19;36;23 - 00;19;38;11 Sarah Okay. Did you know that there was a difference? 00;19;38;12 - 00;19;41;03 Mark I knew there was a difference. I didn't know what the difference was. 00;19;41;08 - 00;20;05;08 Sarah There's so much going on in terms of like ambidextrous rowers and right handed rowers. And if you're doing as if you rowing sweep, it's much more complicated to put together a team. Yeah, because you need right handed and left handed rowers and from what I read, correct me if I'm wrong, people if you know more about this, it doesn't have a lot to do with whether you're right or left handed either. 00;20;05;13 - 00;20;06;13 Mark Oh, I don't think so. 00;20;06;14 - 00;20;13;06 Sarah There are people who are just better at one side than the other. And you don't want to be swapped? No, you don't want that to happen. 00;20;13;07 - 00;20;19;13 Mark No. And so this is in Canada. Rowing is far more popular than it is here. 00;20;19;20 - 00;20;22;00 Sarah Yeah, because it's a little bit British, isn't it? 00;20;22;01 - 00;20;23;10 Mark It's a little bit British, It's. 00;20;23;10 - 00;20;24;11 Sarah A little bit Ponzi. 00;20;24;11 - 00;20;28;02 Mark And we win a bunch of medals at the Olympics in America. 00;20;28;02 - 00;20;29;28 Sarah We're like, Hey, getting a bass boat. 00;20;30;03 - 00;20;32;08 Mark We are. We are. 00;20;32;16 - 00;20;34;08 Sarah We got outboard motors. We know how to do that. 00;20;34;08 - 00;20;43;26 Mark And international power and rowing in the Olympics. I love the Olympics and I love rowing because Canada, where else is it? 00;20;43;26 - 00;20;45;18 Sarah Your favorite summer Olympic event? 00;20;45;29 - 00;21;05;13 Mark No, no, I don't think so. I like I love the Olympics. Of course I love the Winter Olympics more. I really got into men's and women's eight rugby the last time. That was super interesting. I love all the weird sports, like reverse handball and stuff like that. Like I love all those weird sports, like to watch all. 00;21;05;13 - 00;21;08;22 Sarah People have to ski and shoot and jump out of a pair. 00;21;08;28 - 00;21;11;07 Mark That that skied skiing. 00;21;11;07 - 00;21;12;15 Sarah Shooting again thing. 00;21;12;15 - 00;21;19;20 Mark Is the most incredibly interesting sport in the Winter Olympics except for of course, hockey. And I love them all. 00;21;19;22 - 00;21;42;26 Sarah I didn't realize that rowing has its own little like shorthand for men's or women's. How many people are in the boat? Yeah. And then whether it has a cock swimming or not. So if you see like M4 minus, that means that it's men's four men Team no cocks Lane. Yeah. Which means there's no collar at the front of the boat. 00;21;42;27 - 00;21;43;05 Mark Yeah. 00;21;43;09 - 00;21;48;02 Sarah But if you see like a plus that means it's women's eight rowers with a cock. 00;21;48;02 - 00;21;51;01 Mark Swing, like in high school, in gym class. We did rowing. 00;21;51;12 - 00;21;52;06 Sarah You did? 00;21;52;08 - 00;21;55;02 Mark Yeah, because the Canoe Club was nervous. 00;21;55;04 - 00;22;02;11 Sarah You went in the water? Yeah. You didn't just sit in a boat on the gym floor and pretend. No, that's what we would have done. 00;22;03;03 - 00;22;03;21 Mark No. 00;22;04;05 - 00;22;04;15 Mark We. 00;22;04;25 - 00;22;07;07 Sarah When you were doing rowing, guess what we were doing. 00;22;07;13 - 00;22;08;01 Mark Square and. 00;22;08;03 - 00;22;09;00 Sarah Square dancing. 00;22;09;00 - 00;22;11;21 Mark That's right. We also did curling. And you're doing. 00;22;11;21 - 00;22;23;13 Sarah Sport. We did not curl. No, and we're not. We're not going to make fun of rowing terms, even though there's a Cox. Swain. Yep. Cox and Coxless boat. 00;22;23;13 - 00;22;23;27 Mark Yes. 00;22;24;07 - 00;22;30;19 Sarah There's a Coxless pair. Yes. Bo Cox. Yeah. Cox, mate. And my favorite, the Cox box. 00;22;30;19 - 00;22;31;18 Mark The Cox box. 00;22;31;28 - 00;22;34;06 Sarah We've got it out of our system. Yeah, right. 00;22;34;06 - 00;22;34;28 Mark It's all out. 00;22;39;07 - 00;22;58;19 Sarah So Richard Hartley replaced Forrest Briggs on the rowing team. And we're led to believe initially that it was because Forrest Briggs, the commoner on the team. Yeah, the gardener. He could only be more of a trope if his dad was the gardener and he was the son of the gardener. And he was a friend of the family. 00;22;58;19 - 00;23;01;12 Mark Well, we know he's a gardener because he has suspenders. 00;23;01;12 - 00;23;23;11 Sarah Yes. And gets his hands dirty. Yeah, They lead us to believe that it was a personality conflict. That horse was not easy to get along, and that's why Richard replaced him on the boat. But in reality, Horace got bumped off the team because Richard was wealthier and suspected his girlfriend was having an affair with the gardener. And so getting kicked off the team. 00;23;23;11 - 00;23;24;08 Mark Wanted him gone. 00;23;24;10 - 00;23;31;25 Sarah But. But the rest of the team would rather have had Horace than Hartley. Yes. They wanted the gardener. He was better. 00;23;32;02 - 00;23;32;11 Mark Yes. 00;23;32;12 - 00;23;34;10 Sarah He just sweeps his boat on the edge of the water. 00;23;34;10 - 00;23;37;03 Mark Just leaves it there, I realize. 00;23;37;06 - 00;23;38;04 Sarah Does that bother you? 00;23;38;04 - 00;23;38;17 Mark Yes. 00;23;39;10 - 00;23;45;13 Sarah Because that. That boat, that skull. Yes. Is going to end up in the middle of the lake in about 5 minutes, is it not. 00;23;45;14 - 00;23;47;06 Mark Somebody he's going to have to swim out and get it? 00;23;47;12 - 00;23;48;11 Sarah Probably. Horace? 00;23;48;11 - 00;23;55;21 Mark Yes, Mark explains. Canada in the early 19th, early the 20th century to our American friends. 00;23;55;22 - 00;23;57;13 Sarah Oh, is this a marks Canada corner? 00;23;57;14 - 00;24;05;14 Mark Yes, Marks Corner. So you may have noticed the enormous amount of Union Jacks in this episode. So they're all over the Canoe Club. 00;24;05;19 - 00;24;10;06 Sarah I just assumed it was because they were poncy. Canadians who would rather be British than Canadian. 00;24;10;06 - 00;24;19;16 Mark Know that is the Canadian flag at that point in time. Oh, we had a flag that was the Union Jack until the sixties. 00;24;19;23 - 00;24;22;00 Sarah Meaning you didn't have your own flag. 00;24;22;00 - 00;24;23;09 Mark We didn't have our own flag. 00;24;23;13 - 00;24;26;14 Sarah That's not the Canadian flag. No, you just didn't have one. 00;24;26;14 - 00;24;27;09 Mark We didn't have one. 00;24;27;09 - 00;24;32;26 Sarah No. So it's the British flag? Yes, the Union Jack. And then you just call it the reunion, Jack, which I think is very funny. 00;24;33;12 - 00;24;33;22 Mark Yeah. 00;24;34;02 - 00;24;49;05 Mark Then in the sixties, somebody sort of said in the hall, how we got our flag is super interesting, said maybe we should have our own flag. And that's where you get the maple leaf. Good. Which is beautiful. I love our. 00;24;49;05 - 00;24;52;17 Sarah Flag. I'm glad you guys were able to get your own. Yes. It's important. 00;24;52;23 - 00;24;53;24 Mark For a little slow. 00;24;53;25 - 00;24;58;19 Sarah Especially if you go to the Olympics and you've got the same flag as another team. That's kind of confusing. 00;24;58;19 - 00;24;59;03 Mark Yeah. 00;25;00;26 - 00;25;24;17 Sarah Crabtree and Murdoch, try coffee like it's new. Not I try not to let the anachronisms bother me because they can be really fun, but this one doesn't make any sense to me. Coffee had been around for, like 100 years in the States and in Canada, and it wasn't unusual for people of all classes to have it. I don't know why they act like it's special now. 00;25;24;17 - 00;25;27;05 Sarah If they were like, This is espresso or something. 00;25;27;06 - 00;25;27;20 Mark That's. 00;25;27;20 - 00;25;33;03 Sarah Latte. Yeah, I'd be like, Oh, frothy coffee. Maybe that's new. Or Italian in coffee or something. 00;25;33;04 - 00;25;41;22 Mark Something. But no, it's clearly not new. It's there is a plot device so that creepy Murdoch at the end can go, Hey, let's go for a coffee. 00;25;42;29 - 00;25;45;16 Sarah It's Julia who invites him for a coffee. 00;25;45;16 - 00;25;47;05 Mark I know, but he's still creepy. 00;25;47;05 - 00;25;50;25 Sarah And it means that Crabtree can be all hopped up because he's had, like, eight. 00;25;51;27 - 00;25;56;07 Mark I thought that we saw him more hopped up in this up episode. 00;25;56;12 - 00;25;58;14 Sarah Yeah, in my memory, he was too. He was hyper. 00;25;58;15 - 00;26;00;04 Mark That might be another episode. 00;26;00;04 - 00;26;03;09 Sarah Yeah. Or maybe it was just a joke that we thought should have been there. And was. 00;26;03;09 - 00;26;04;29 Mark That went back to the. 00;26;04;29 - 00;26;06;08 Mark Cocaine. Yes. 00;26;06;19 - 00;26;07;22 Mark It's not a spoiler. 00;26;07;22 - 00;26;13;04 Sarah It's not a spoiler. There's a few episodes where Bracken read he gets prescribed cocaine for like a head cold or something. 00;26;13;04 - 00;26;13;21 Mark Something. 00;26;14;14 - 00;26;16;13 Sarah Yeah. He gets interesting for a little while. 00;26;16;16 - 00;26;20;04 Mark Speaking of interesting things, breaking the bottom. 00;26;21;16 - 00;26;26;25 Sarah I'm just going to put this out there. He gets hazed. Hartley gets hazed as a new river of the team. 00;26;26;25 - 00;26;27;18 Mark All hazing and. 00;26;27;18 - 00;26;33;13 Sarah Hazing is horrible. It's a form of bullying to the extreme. That's right out. And that's all I'm going to say about it. 00;26;33;13 - 00;26;34;07 Mark Never happen. 00;26;34;17 - 00;26;44;03 Sarah But in reality, we initially get to think that this is a hazing thing gone wrong. Yeah, but they were purposely over hazing him because they didn't want him on the team. 00;26;44;03 - 00;26;47;02 Mark Yeah. They wanted to beat him up so that he would be injured. 00;26;47;02 - 00;26;55;23 Sarah Yeah. So he couldn't row so Horace could come back on the team, which is unusual that the fancy people wanted the Gardner back on the team because. 00;26;55;28 - 00;26;57;23 Mark Was better when they wanted to win. 00;26;57;23 - 00;26;58;13 Sarah He's a better role. 00;26;58;13 - 00;27;00;07 Mark So they gave him a paddling a. 00;27;00;17 - 00;27;09;02 Sarah Then. And Murdoch has to talk with Joy, his ex-boyfriend, about it while walking in the woods. I just don't see the benefit of spanking like awkward. 00;27;09;02 - 00;27;09;12 Mark Yes. 00;27;09;20 - 00;27;15;18 Mark So Julia and Isaac went to Tash. 00;27;15;18 - 00;27;16;12 Sarah Is that his name? 00;27;16;12 - 00;27;37;01 Mark Tash went to Bishop's with this, which is in Sherbrooke, Quebec, which is east of Montreal. Now, again, I mentioned to our friends in the United States, there are not 8 billion universities in Canada like there are in the United States. There are 92. And at that, at this time, they're even fewer than 19. 00;27;37;04 - 00;27;45;20 Sarah Why are there so few in comparison? Is it because they're all like started by the state in some way, or is it just there aren't as many people? 00;27;45;20 - 00;28;01;09 Mark So termination of two things. One, we have a 10th of the population, right? And second of all, there is a huge clear delineation between university graduate educated and not university graduate educated. 00;28;01;09 - 00;28;06;23 Sarah Well, you have colleges and universities right to your degrees and for your degrees are by. 00;28;06;26 - 00;28;14;12 Mark Colleges very much expected to be where you learn a skill for a job. Well and. 00;28;14;13 - 00;28;15;17 Sarah Vocational school. 00;28;16;06 - 00;28;17;13 Mark I don't want my. 00;28;17;15 - 00;28;18;19 Sarah That's not a bad thing. 00;28;18;19 - 00;28;19;29 Mark You know if. 00;28;19;29 - 00;28;23;29 Sarah You go to vocational school to get skill specific for a vocation. 00;28;24;00 - 00;28;24;14 Mark My brother. 00;28;24;14 - 00;28;25;14 Sarah Were a field went. 00;28;25;14 - 00;28;31;14 Mark To college and he did very well for himself and oh, well, all my brothers and sisters went to college. Yeah, very well for them. 00;28;31;17 - 00;28;32;21 Sarah And you went to university and then. 00;28;33;03 - 00;28;34;14 Mark I went to university. 00;28;34;14 - 00;28;34;24 Mark And. 00;28;35;10 - 00;28;37;29 Mark Did better just stay. 00;28;37;29 - 00;28;39;03 Mark In this. 00;28;39;24 - 00;28;40;14 Mark First one. 00;28;40;14 - 00;28;40;28 Mark Since. 00;28;42;06 - 00;28;42;21 Mark We got to. 00;28;42;21 - 00;28;43;08 Sarah Canada. 00;28;43;08 - 00;28;50;14 Mark But it was never a question that I was going to university. 00;28;51;22 - 00;28;53;26 Sarah Because you decided when you were like four, right? 00;28;54;02 - 00;28;56;12 Mark So I think so. 00;28;56;15 - 00;29;10;00 Sarah You and me both. It's younger. It's younger sibling syndrome. Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do, but it's going to be better than you. We also get to hear about the first case that Murdoch and Julianne worked on together. 00;29;10;00 - 00;29;12;03 Mark Clayton Bowles Wow. 00;29;12;03 - 00;29;17;27 Sarah This is I can see why there's no episode about this case because it's a bit heavy. 00;29;17;28 - 00;29;20;28 Mark Yeah. And Murdoch just kind of throws it off. 00;29;21;03 - 00;29;33;15 Sarah Yeah. There is this 14 year old kid who killed his parents, then hung himself in the yard. Anyway, I was right. And Tash is like, Oh, okay. And anyway, spanking, I don't know. 00;29;33;19 - 00;29;37;15 Mark She's like, This is just awful. I'm like, That's correct. They've left a. 00;29;37;15 - 00;29;53;06 Sarah Mess. Yeah, they have a big mess. If they were trying to cover a crime scene, if they thought, Oh my gosh, Richard went off and we don't know what happened to him, wouldn't they have run out there and cleaned it up? This is two episodes in a row where people don't clean up after themselves. Yes. And it gets them in trouble. 00;29;53;08 - 00;29;54;11 Mark I don't like it at all. 00;29;54;11 - 00;30;03;29 Sarah But you know what? We have hooligans. They don't clean up after themselves. No drive around on campus on a Sunday morning. It's everywhere. You just make a mess and then they go pass out. 00;30;04;06 - 00;30;09;00 Mark They just go pass out some more. Wow. This is the old part, old person's part of the episode. 00;30;09;01 - 00;30;12;22 Sarah Welcome to Foggy Corner, where we talk about how the youths of today. 00;30;12;23 - 00;30;14;17 Mark Let me tell you about our children. 00;30;14;17 - 00;30;15;03 Mark Yes. 00;30;17;09 - 00;30;24;28 Sarah Hey, they're not on campus getting drunk, playing bags with sand games, with sand bags and leaving beer bottles everywhere and checking cornhole. 00;30;24;29 - 00;30;30;26 Mark No, but they are here making mess. Anyway, let's move on to a dungeon full of dandies. 00;30;31;13 - 00;30;46;16 Sarah That's my favorite line of the episode. Bracken Reed is so worried about the rowers because they're the children of very wealthy, influential people and we have to handle them with kid gloves. You know what? Kid gloves are, right? 00;30;46;17 - 00;30;49;26 Mark Yes. They're made from actual calves. Leather. 00;30;50;02 - 00;30;51;21 Sarah No, they're from baby Go. 00;30;51;21 - 00;30;53;00 Mark Baby goat leather. Sorry. 00;30;53;02 - 00;31;07;24 Sarah We baby goat to have nice thin skin. Yeah. So that they're very sensitive gloves. Yeah, you do. You know, in this town, even in the 1890s, a woman without gloves was just as bad as a woman showing her boobs. 00;31;07;24 - 00;31;09;01 Mark Yeah, it was. 00;31;09;08 - 00;31;10;22 Sarah Like it was the equivalent. 00;31;10;23 - 00;31;14;05 Mark Like Minerva is dressed appropriately, and Julia never is. 00;31;14;14 - 00;31;19;19 Sarah No, Julia's like, I don't even wear gloves, flies, people open, and then I just smear the blood on my clothes and. 00;31;20;16 - 00;31;27;07 Mark Come on into the club. Yeah. And here with with the secondary of Danny. 00;31;27;14 - 00;31;31;19 Sarah Bracken, Reed says, Oh, now we've got a dungeon full of dandies and. 00;31;32;01 - 00;31;37;28 Mark We have the great visual comedy of, like, it shows a cell full of miscreants. 00;31;37;28 - 00;31;44;13 Sarah Yeah. The camera pans across the cells and there's one full of drunks, obviously. And then there's all the dandies in the cell to get love. 00;31;44;14 - 00;31;49;06 Mark I love when there's actual visual humor in the filming. Yeah, they do a great job. 00;31;49;06 - 00;31;53;18 Sarah But they shouldn't put them all in the same cell. They're just going to corroborate their stories. Yes. 00;31;53;25 - 00;31;57;01 Mark Let us have a montage of the beatings. 00;31;57;09 - 00;31;59;20 Sarah And or a montage of numerous. 00;31;59;21 - 00;32;00;13 Mark Yes. 00;32;00;22 - 00;32;03;17 Sarah All these dudes undone by the blue Kool-Aid. 00;32;03;17 - 00;32;07;23 Mark He took off because, you know, we're lying because of the blue Kool-Aid. 00;32;07;23 - 00;32;09;09 Sarah It rises in the tube. 00;32;09;16 - 00;32;15;08 Mark And then Mark Murdoch sinks. And there's a montage, as in thinking. 00;32;15;16 - 00;32;34;01 Sarah Yes, well, he has to has his brainiac moment where he flashes back and collates a bunch of evidence that we've seen. And he's like, Ha, I got it. So it turns out it was all the coach's idea. It's like, I want the gardener back on the team. So you guys beat the hell out of this dandy so he won't be able to row. 00;32;34;08 - 00;32;54;11 Sarah Then we'll get the gardener back, and then maybe we'll actually make the Olympics. And they're like, Oh, we beat him too much. He ran off. He probably drowned. Oops. And the coach is like, Well, let's flame frame the gardener for it. That which I guess since they already have an eighth rower on the team you counted, they've replaced him already with somebody else. 00;32;54;11 - 00;33;00;04 Sarah I don't know how, but they would rather sacrifice one than seven. Like. Yeah, because they're seven dandies. 00;33;00;10 - 00;33;05;13 Mark Yes. And then George starts the toast for the clay. 00;33;05;16 - 00;33;20;13 Sarah So Hartley has dirt under his nails that isn't like the sand at Hell's Point where they left a mess. It's Clay. So now we're going to walk around the edge of this big lake looking for clay. Yeah, right. 00;33;20;14 - 00;33;21;00 Mark Yeah. 00;33;21;13 - 00;33;22;29 Mark How well do you know the shoreline? 00;33;23;00 - 00;33;30;06 Sarah I know there is a four foot stretch on one side of the lake where there's clay, and it's nowhere else. Yeah. 00;33;30;11 - 00;33;32;10 Mark No, no, that's not how it works. 00;33;32;19 - 00;33;36;03 Sarah But it gives George an opportunity to talk about his neighbors. Pottery? 00;33;36;06 - 00;33;36;20 Mark Yes. 00;33;38;27 - 00;33;50;03 Sarah Maybe he. Maybe it was into pottery. My neighbor made a bust of his wife. It looks like an inch Fabienne of some sort with great bulging eyes. It was terrifying, really. I'd prefer if we wouldn't talk about it anymore. 00;33;50;05 - 00;33;52;02 Mark This is definitely. 00;33;52;22 - 00;33;55;11 Sarah I just have this image of Swamp thing. 00;33;55;11 - 00;33;57;13 Mark Like he's like. 00;33;57;18 - 00;34;05;04 Sarah Edna, I'm going to make a bust of you. I'm into this pottery stuff now, and he turns around and it's swamp thing with the gills and the big eyes and everything. 00;34;05;06 - 00;34;11;07 Mark George played by Johnnie Harris here. I bet there is 30 of these. 00;34;11;10 - 00;34;17;07 Sarah Oh, yeah. 30 takes where he just where he lived, whatever he wanted to do. And it was funny. 00;34;17;12 - 00;34;19;08 Mark To about Clay. 00;34;19;08 - 00;34;19;17 Mark Yeah. 00;34;20;22 - 00;34;28;29 Sarah You know, ladies put that on their face now as a masks of. Not that I would know about face masks it leave your skin nice and soft and supple. I don't do. 00;34;28;29 - 00;34;33;10 Mark That, Murdoch. You're bizarre and does an amazing job of not like. 00;34;33;16 - 00;34;48;02 Sarah I keep a straight face. The bulgy eyes. Yeah. And then. Oh, I know that medicine was different. I know that they didn't have the same standards we have, but Julia really enjoys squeezing in lungs. 00;34;48;08 - 00;34;50;06 Mark I have my lung water now. Please. 00;34;53;06 - 00;35;00;07 Sarah But she gets her lungs out and she's like all the water cell in harm's way. Squeezing it, squeezing it. 00;35;00;14 - 00;35;02;25 Mark We have a more important thing to talk about. 00;35;03;06 - 00;35;04;23 Sarah More important than lung water. 00;35;04;23 - 00;35;05;08 Mark Yes. 00;35;06;04 - 00;35;20;08 Mark Yes. So they're looking at each other and the music swells and the kissy kissy happens. And then they're both kind of like, Oh, who is having that dream? Murdoch You think? Murdoch? Yep. 00;35;20;16 - 00;35;22;25 Sarah I think Murdoch Imagining kissing Julia. 00;35;22;26 - 00;35;23;19 Mark I don't know. 00;35;23;19 - 00;35;32;08 Sarah I think because I think if it was Julia, she would have just kissed him. Oh, even if she was holding the lung in her hands. Our first was over long. 00;35;33;26 - 00;35;35;00 Mark I believe that my loved one. 00;35;36;02 - 00;35;48;24 Sarah I think it's him because he's discombobulated, because he's been caught staring at her, because he's having a little daydream. And then he's, you know, he's all slobbered up, and he has to go get my long marker, please. Goodbye. 00;35;49;00 - 00;36;01;19 Mark By the way, folks, here's Mark's social corner here. We've had a lot of corners of the day, and if someone tells you in your life that they don't have much of a social life these days, they're flirting with you. 00;36;01;20 - 00;36;03;20 Sarah They're asking you to ask them out. 00;36;03;20 - 00;36;04;04 Mark Yes. 00;36;04;17 - 00;36;09;13 Sarah But I would like to have a social life with you if you would invite me someplace. That's what they're actually saying. 00;36;09;21 - 00;36;12;19 Mark Anyway. The long water smells of laughter. 00;36;13;18 - 00;36;17;21 Sarah I'm not smelling anybody's long water. No, I don't care if you've boiled it. 00;36;17;26 - 00;36;19;29 Mark If you really want strawberry cooler. 00;36;20;02 - 00;36;30;19 Sarah If you raise a dish to my face and say, Smell this long water, that's worse than, like, smell this. I think it's bad. Yeah. You know, Has this not gone mad? I don't know. Smell it. You smell it? 00;36;30;19 - 00;36;31;20 Mark It's a smell. Bad. You? 00;36;31;20 - 00;36;33;26 Sarah Yeah. Oh, I don't want to try that. 00;36;33;26 - 00;36;34;04 Mark Bill. 00;36;34;24 - 00;36;42;00 Sarah Because I crabtrees reaction's funny. Smells like lavender. You know, my aunt uses stuff in the bath. It makes your skin tart. I'm not that I would not. 00;36;42;00 - 00;36;43;22 Mark I wouldn't know anything about the hand. 00;36;43;25 - 00;36;45;14 Sarah I've never used it. Mm. 00;36;45;22 - 00;36;47;26 Mark No. They do a very good job. 00;36;47;26 - 00;36;53;14 Sarah I bet you George smells. Really nice. I bet you just can't agree with him. Little packages. It's good stuff. 00;36;53;15 - 00;37;12;07 Mark It's great writing because you know exactly what's going on with George. And no one calls him out on it. No has to say. And now we have to complete the joke and say George uses for lavender water in his back like that's never there. And that's mature, smart writing. Mm hmm. Well, we find out. 00;37;12;19 - 00;37;21;17 Sarah Minerva had a love shack. Even though she didn't love Richard, she set up a love shack. And then he was late, so she changed her mind about their entire lives together. 00;37;23;12 - 00;37;24;09 Mark Yeah, I think. 00;37;24;16 - 00;37;31;16 Sarah It started out as a romantic evening with candles and dinner and everything. But then he was late, and she smoked so much, she decided she didn't want to marry him. 00;37;31;16 - 00;37;40;22 Mark I think that they kind of flubbed it there because she clearly didn't like him in the beginning already. He chose me. 00;37;40;26 - 00;37;41;10 Sarah Yeah. 00;37;41;18 - 00;37;42;20 Mark I didn't choose him. 00;37;42;26 - 00;37;44;21 Sarah She was trapped in that engaged. 00;37;44;22 - 00;37;53;12 Mark And then this is where she's right throughout the entire episode. Minerva as aloof, smoking harlot. Right. Like she is. 00;37;53;12 - 00;37;55;27 Sarah Trapped in a gilded cage of her richness. 00;37;55;27 - 00;38;04;21 Mark Well, you don't even think you're. She's trapped. You just think she's so aloof and poncy. But now you begin to sympathize with her. 00;38;04;21 - 00;38;06;19 Sarah And realize she's in a gilded cage. 00;38;06;19 - 00;38;06;29 Mark Yeah. 00;38;07;01 - 00;38;09;27 Sarah And it's so hard to be so beautiful and rich. 00;38;09;29 - 00;38;15;27 Mark Well, he kind of almost forces himself on her, so I have incredible sympathy for her. 00;38;15;28 - 00;38;29;18 Sarah He is bad. He's the bad. Don't get me wrong. Yep. So she's got the love shack all set up? Yep. Richard shows up late and beat all the hell. And she goes, By the way, I break up. Is that what you would say? What happened to you? 00;38;29;28 - 00;38;31;29 Mark She's been working up the nerve all night. 00;38;31;29 - 00;38;42;21 Sarah I think she dislikes him so much that even when he shows up, beat the heck she's still ready to dump him. And he says, Oh, I just need a bath. I just need a warm soak in lavender. 00;38;42;21 - 00;38;43;27 Mark Water, if only to. 00;38;43;28 - 00;38;45;08 Mark Feel to. 00;38;46;01 - 00;38;50;22 Mark Meet you. Like if you had abrasions and open wounds, would that not be like. 00;38;50;22 - 00;38;55;26 Sarah Oh, I don't know. I think it would be irritating to have oil in your water if you were. 00;38;56;05 - 00;38;56;19 Mark Being so. 00;38;56;25 - 00;38;59;16 Sarah Covered in open wounds and bleeding feet. 00;38;59;25 - 00;39;04;15 Mark And we know this because there's bone meal mixed with the long water. 00;39;04;20 - 00;39;05;24 Sarah It's points. 00;39;05;24 - 00;39;09;27 Mark For its a glowing phosphorescent. 00;39;09;28 - 00;39;12;14 Sarah Because it's got phosphate. Yeah I think. 00;39;12;14 - 00;39;17;20 Mark This break the rule like we know he's a gardener does Mark break the rule here. 00;39;17;26 - 00;39;18;13 Sarah What rule. 00;39;18;20 - 00;39;20;29 Mark That you have to know everything hmm. 00;39;21;10 - 00;39;38;24 Sarah That that the detective can't know things that we as viewers don't know. Yeah, he tells us it's glowing bone. Yeah. We have to figure out what that means. Yeah, I mean, I've got a bag of bone meal in the garage. Yeah, for flowerpots. I mean, it's not that rare. I've never checked to see if it goes in the dark. 00;39;38;24 - 00;39;57;19 Sarah I don't think it does. It might glow under UV light, which is not what's coming from his oil lamp. No, but I'm. I'm just kind of impressed that he can recognize a sand sized fragment of bone. Yeah. Under a microscope. But I do like his little glasses with the microscope. Oh, there's little glasses. 00;39;57;26 - 00;40;00;01 Mark Murdoch gadgets are right on in this. 00;40;00;01 - 00;40;09;25 Sarah He's got a fence. Fancy I have in notes. It says glowing phosphate bone fragments in lunch water instead of water. 00;40;10;10 - 00;40;11;12 Mark So he takes off. 00;40;11;24 - 00;40;13;17 Sarah Don't drink that with your lunch. Right. 00;40;13;24 - 00;40;21;07 Mark Horse goes in and confront him and kills him in the tub. And then they hide the body at the lake. 00;40;21;08 - 00;40;27;02 Sarah So the tragedy here is that Horace doesn't know that Minerva and Richard broke up. 00;40;27;15 - 00;40;29;03 Mark But he knows she left. 00;40;29;12 - 00;40;43;11 Sarah So does he. Oh, I'm confused by this. They act like it's this tragedy that if Horace had known that she dumped him, that he wouldn't have had to kill him. Yeah, like, but she left place. 00;40;43;11 - 00;40;44;14 Mark And she was obviously. 00;40;44;14 - 00;40;54;03 Sarah Distraught. She ran away from the love shack. So, I mean, it wouldn't have been a big leap to assume that they would then, if they hadn't already split up, that they would have split up soon. 00;40;54;08 - 00;40;56;07 Mark Yeah, I didn't get that part. 00;40;56;07 - 00;40;56;20 Sarah I'm not. 00;40;56;20 - 00;41;07;13 Mark I don't. And I think they easily could have a case not to jump to the end, but easily have the case of he was attacking her. And so I stopped him and we accidentally killed him. 00;41;07;25 - 00;41;11;13 Sarah I stabbed him by running him a nice warm bath and shoving his head in it. 00;41;11;18 - 00;41;15;09 Mark Well, maybe you could push him in the bath accidently and they hit his head. 00;41;15;11 - 00;41;16;24 Sarah But he doesn't have a head injury. 00;41;17;00 - 00;41;21;13 Mark Scar. Lots of injuries. Plus, Julie is going to be like, Oh, yeah, that's what happened. 00;41;22;26 - 00;41;23;06 Mark Because. 00;41;23;06 - 00;41;23;09 Sarah It's. 00;41;23;09 - 00;41;25;03 Mark Romantic. Give me a cigaret Minerva. 00;41;25;06 - 00;41;31;03 Sarah So they must have taken his body from the nice warm bath and dumped him in the lake. 00;41;31;03 - 00;41;33;13 Mark All oiled too, by the way. He went under. 00;41;33;13 - 00;41;51;10 Sarah Oil only from like the waist up, from the waist down, even with a small hoop. But then they have to dump him in the lake to make it look like he drowned. Yes. Which means that Minerva would have had to explain to Horace what happened to Richard before he got there. Like he showed up. Beat up? 00;41;51;16 - 00;41;52;02 Mark Yeah. 00;41;52;10 - 00;41;58;05 Sarah So, in a way, Horace and Minerva are sort of framing the rowing team. 00;41;58;09 - 00;41;59;14 Mark Almost kind. 00;41;59;14 - 00;42;04;20 Sarah Of just like they then try to frame him where it is. The blood on the aura come from. If it's not Richard's. 00;42;04;25 - 00;42;06;04 Mark There's blood all around. 00;42;06;19 - 00;42;14;24 Sarah But they. The rowing team purposely puts it on the order to frame Boris. Yeah. So one of them like cuts their finger and smears it on the OR. 00;42;15;01 - 00;42;19;08 Mark Well we haven't mentioned the whole oarsman beefcake scene. 00;42;20;27 - 00;42;21;02 Mark The. 00;42;21;02 - 00;42;22;15 Sarah Shirtless rowers. 00;42;22;15 - 00;42;24;24 Mark Because there is like, okay. 00;42;24;24 - 00;42;25;27 Sarah It's big enough, oily. 00;42;28;04 - 00;42;42;01 Mark I think. I think that is like though that scene is refreshing almost in the sense that it's like there's so many scenes of half naked women in all media. 00;42;42;05 - 00;42;48;25 Sarah Yeah, right. Like, Oh, I had to go in the dressing room of this cancan show and see all these women and just their corsets. 00;42;49;08 - 00;42;58;29 Mark Like, I thought that was a refreshing scene of like, they're all young men topless. And they were, they're clearly because they were beefcake. 00;43;00;17 - 00;43;06;02 Sarah They're all oiled up with lavender oil. No, we only have showers here. We don't have bathtubs at the rowing club. 00;43;06;05 - 00;43;07;28 Mark Well, except for in that shack. 00;43;08;02 - 00;43;11;27 Sarah Well, the love shacks are different, but in. But in the rowing team's clubhouse. 00;43;12;03 - 00;43;12;17 Mark I guess. 00;43;12;24 - 00;43;14;19 Sarah They don't have baths, too. 00;43;14;20 - 00;43;17;24 Mark We haven't talked about the concierge and how great he is. 00;43;18;03 - 00;43;19;02 Sarah Let's talk about him. 00;43;19;03 - 00;43;19;15 Mark Okay. 00;43;19;20 - 00;43;25;04 Sarah I love that Julia warns Murdoch about him. Yeah, like you better call ahead. 00;43;25;09 - 00;43;29;15 Mark And I think there's a scene where Barack and Reid does the same thing that gets cut. 00;43;30;22 - 00;43;41;27 Sarah This is the first of many episodes of Murdoch where we see a class clash. Yes. Where being a policeman doesn't just give you free rein. 00;43;42;01 - 00;43;42;10 Mark Yeah. 00;43;42;15 - 00;43;48;13 Sarah Back then, because policemen were seen more as tradesmen. Yeah. They literally tell them to go in the tradesmen and you. 00;43;48;13 - 00;43;51;27 Mark Don't have a membership card. He goes, This is my membership card. 00;43;51;27 - 00;44;04;07 Sarah Yeah. And the concierge is like, So what else? We're above the law. Yeah, but he's, he's not rich. The concierge isn't rich. Just represents rich people. Yes, he's been bestowed. 00;44;04;12 - 00;44;05;01 Mark He is the. 00;44;05;01 - 00;44;07;23 Sarah Gatekeeper. Fanciness upon him. 00;44;07;23 - 00;44;12;05 Mark And Murdoch is like Murdoch is the son of a drunk. 00;44;12;19 - 00;44;12;26 Sarah Yeah. 00;44;13;01 - 00;44;18;03 Mark Who was basically left to the Jesuits. Yeah. So, like, he is in high class. 00;44;18;03 - 00;44;24;14 Sarah No, he's not even middle class. He's kind of worked his way into the lower middle class. Those job maybe other than that. 00;44;24;17 - 00;44;32;05 Mark But like, at this point in time, when Murdoch says he lives on that street, we learn later on that he lives in a boarding house. 00;44;32;12 - 00;44;34;04 Sarah Well, that was pretty common for single men. 00;44;34;04 - 00;44;35;26 Mark Single men lived in boarding. Yeah. 00;44;35;26 - 00;44;37;20 Sarah Who's going to do their job and feed them if they. 00;44;37;20 - 00;44;40;02 Mark George in his bath, live in the morning? 00;44;40;20 - 00;44;55;12 Sarah It's fancy bathtub. The concierge is great, though. He does a really good job of being super snooty and then turning it off and on. Like when Julia walks in, he just changes completely. Yeah, just flip. He's polite and flip. 00;44;55;22 - 00;45;00;09 Mark And Juliet knows Julia went there because she knew that Murdoch was going to be. 00;45;00;11 - 00;45;09;19 Sarah Not going to get anywhere in there. Yeah, she shows up in her overly floral, roughly gathered dress with a lamb chop arms. 00;45;09;19 - 00;45;18;05 Mark I think they do such a good job of when. When Julia is out of the morgue, you can sense that she's uncomfortable. 00;45;18;10 - 00;45;19;16 Sarah Mm. That's her place. 00;45;19;16 - 00;45;22;10 Mark And that's how Lina Joy's amazing acting. 00;45;22;11 - 00;45;22;23 Sarah Mm hmm. 00;45;23;06 - 00;45;30;01 Mark Because even though she is raised in high society, she doesn't like it. And you can tell right away. 00;45;30;02 - 00;45;32;14 Sarah Yeah, but she can still move in those circles. Yes. 00;45;32;14 - 00;45;43;28 Mark So we have the final scene with Julie in Minerva, where the moral of the episode arrives. The moral of the episode is, if you only had traveled more. 00;45;44;27 - 00;45;59;09 Sarah I don't think so. She's saying you don't have to be constrained by the societal rules that are here. Other places are different. Yeah. And you are wealthy and young and single and you can travel and you can see that not every place is like this. 00;45;59;14 - 00;46;01;18 Mark Go to friends and have an affair. 00;46;01;18 - 00;46;04;19 Sarah Yes. Go become a can can denser. 00;46;04;19 - 00;46;12;00 Mark So did you notice that Murdoch's kind of creepy? He's standing off to the side and just standing there while they talk. 00;46;12;04 - 00;46;14;18 Sarah I thought he was being polite. You think he's creepy? 00;46;14;26 - 00;46;21;00 Mark He's a little creepy. But there's a more important thing. At the very last scene, I don't know if you saw it. 00;46;21;04 - 00;46;21;23 Sarah I don't know. 00;46;21;28 - 00;46;35;25 Mark So there's this whole discussion of coffee and going for a coffee and the implications of that coffee and the smooches that come along in the background. There's 30 people in modern clothes. 00;46;36;00 - 00;46;39;03 Mark White. Yeah. What. 00;46;39;16 - 00;46;40;25 Mark Like shorts? 00;46;41;12 - 00;46;45;26 Sarah Right. I completely miss that. Right at the end. And that closing scene. 00;46;46;06 - 00;46;49;16 Mark At the back on the other side of the bridge. But they're they're. 00;46;50;01 - 00;46;50;24 Sarah Manned by. 00;46;50;27 - 00;46;51;23 Mark A whole bunch of. 00;46;51;23 - 00;46;57;02 Sarah People. They must run into that all the time. They it must be so hard. 00;46;57;02 - 00;47;03;05 Mark And it's a close up of one of the characters and you're like, oh, they couldn't they couldn't get. 00;47;03;05 - 00;47;06;19 Sarah Rid of that. They couldn't crop it out. They couldn't greenscreen it because in. 00;47;06;20 - 00;47;12;27 Mark 2008, we're we're the very beginnings of digital media still. In 2008. 00;47;12;27 - 00;47;13;09 Sarah Yeah. 00;47;13;25 - 00;47;16;18 Mark We're like, we could go backwards and forwards and. 00;47;17;15 - 00;47;21;08 Sarah It would have been a major ordeal. Yeah. To keep that footage and move. 00;47;21;09 - 00;47;29;22 Mark Those people and we'll put that in the show notes. But yeah, there are people back there and I'm almost 100% sure they're in modern dress. 00;47;29;28 - 00;47;35;29 Sarah I don't know why they didn't just change the camera angle on like I see them from the side looking out onto the water or something. 00;47;36;04 - 00;47;37;16 Mark I don't know, but it's fair. 00;47;37;18 - 00;47;48;08 Sarah Oh, the poor and the people who produced the show, they must constantly have to. Okay, now we got to turn everybody 90 degrees here because we can't get rid of that thing in the background. 00;47;48;08 - 00;47;51;10 Mark Well, the giant tower. Yeah, In Toronto. 00;47;51;10 - 00;47;51;24 Mark Yeah. 00;47;52;13 - 00;48;17;24 Mark So what happens when you do TV normally is all this gets shot and then the director and the editor sit in a little room and do more or less story editing along with, like, principal photography. Editing. Yeah, it really comes alive. Television really comes alive in the editing bay with the director and the editor. Yeah, they're far more powerful than the writer and, and things like that in American TV. 00;48;18;11 - 00;48;20;21 Mark So there must be like. 00;48;21;01 - 00;48;26;14 Sarah Oh, crap. But they must have a small army of people who are responsible for keeping people out of shot. 00;48;26;19 - 00;48;29;25 Mark Yeah, that's, that's Andy Production Company. 00;48;29;25 - 00;48;36;09 Sarah Yeah. That. And for filming locations where it's easy to hide modern things in the background. 00;48;36;09 - 00;48;52;14 Mark Yeah. I tried to find where that bridge and the the grandstand were. I think it's in, which is a small town in southern Ontario but I'm not sure hundred percent. But there are definitely people back there and I'm almost positive they're in modern drama now. 00;48;52;14 - 00;48;52;25 Sarah I got I. 00;48;52;25 - 00;48;53;16 Mark Look. Yeah. 00;48;53;27 - 00;48;59;10 Sarah So that is still. WATERS Yeah. Episode eight of season one. What's what's our next one? 00;48;59;11 - 00;49;01;10 Mark So that's all down Corpse. 00;49;01;10 - 00;49;03;19 Sarah I'm sorry, but there's only one. Yes, it's right. 00;49;03;23 - 00;49;10;01 Mark And he does a fantastic job after the credits. I don't think he gets hung. I think they can. 00;49;10;08 - 00;49;12;08 Sarah He's going to do a long time in jail. 00;49;12;09 - 00;49;16;13 Mark I think he goes to jail, but I think they can figure out a case. 00;49;16;24 - 00;49;20;12 Sarah The big question is whether Minerva will testify on his behalf. 00;49;20;16 - 00;49;21;29 Mark I think she probably will. 00;49;22;06 - 00;49;25;22 Sarah Because if she does, I think he he will not be hanged. 00;49;25;28 - 00;49;32;06 Mark Well, I think it pisses off the people around her. And I think she's at that level now where she's like, screw them. 00;49;32;15 - 00;49;43;22 Sarah Yeah. And maybe even the rowing team will say he was not nice. Yeah, he was a really bad person. It absolutely. So it's just a question of how influential the Hartleys are. 00;49;43;23 - 00;49;45;25 Mark Meanwhile, those boys are never going to play. 00;49;46;09 - 00;49;47;05 Sarah Hide and seek. 00;49;47;05 - 00;49;47;27 Mark Again. 00;49;51;06 - 00;50;01;13 Sarah Maybe they're the same kids in a later episode who find a body, another body or a robot or maybe something. So what's our next episode? What's episode nine Our next episode? 00;50;01;13 - 00;50;18;08 Mark Episode nine is the belly speak while belly speakers. What? It's not the belly speaker, but belly speaker and wow, this episode Woo woo! This is one of my favorite episodes of Murdoch of all time. 00;50;18;08 - 00;50;21;28 Sarah Wow. Of all 16 seasons. One of your favorite. 00;50;21;28 - 00;50;22;11 Mark Yeah. 00;50;22;18 - 00;50;24;12 Sarah You're setting it up. Yeah. Up. 00;50;24;13 - 00;50;40;24 Mark Yeah. It is fantastically weird. And the ending is awesome and I love everything about it and I haven't seen it in a long time, so I bet you I'm going to be like, like this episode. I was like, Oh, this is a rowing episode. And then I'm like, Oh, George is fantastic. 00;50;40;25 - 00;50;42;03 Sarah Yeah, it's always something. 00;50;42;06 - 00;50;44;23 Mark They have all sorts of really good stuff. 00;50;44;23 - 00;50;49;28 Sarah But you all should be looking forward to the belly speaker because it is a weird episode. 00;50;49;29 - 00;51;09;18 Mark Tucker James Mystery Maniac.
