Cock Box | Brokenwood | "How the Other Half Dies" | Mystery Maniacs Mini-episode 31

Sarah: 00:16

Hey, maniacs.

Mark: 00:17

Hey, mystery maniac. Oh, I have something to tell you that I had not realized till this very second. What? We may be speaking another language right now because we are now eligible for auto Translation? Translation and audio creation on YouTube.

Sarah: 00:35

But the voices don't sound like ours.

Mark: 00:37

I have no idea. It will happen on our first upload.

Sarah: 00:42

Oh. What language are you most looking forward to hearing?

Mark: 00:48

Well, if you look up our language, our non English country statistics, Germany is our first.

Sarah: 00:56

Yeah. But which language are you most excited to hear us speak?

Mark: 00:59

I wanna hear us speak French because I will be able to go, no.

Sarah: 01:04

That's not accurate.

Mark: 01:05

That's not accurate.

Sarah: 01:06

I think maybe Russian or Ukrainian

Mark: 01:10

or like a hundred languages we can choose from. We will certainly be having fun with this.

Sarah: 01:15

Welcome to a mini episode for Broken Woods season 11 episode four, How the Other Half Dies. It's just a reminder, mini episodes are intended for you to listen to before you watch the episode. So this is spoiler free.

Mark: 01:30

Yes. And wow, we learned an important life lesson, Sarah.

Sarah: 01:34

What was that?

Mark: 01:35

That greed is bad.

Sarah: 01:36

That's right. Greed is bad. That is an important theme.

Mark: 01:39

It's B A D. And also cutting up your curtains in your rental property.

Sarah: 01:45

Not a good idea. No. Ray and Trudy are again featured in the

Mark: 01:49

episode. Front and center.

Sarah: 01:51

And this is not a Watch Like a Maniac point. We we have those, and we'll go through those. But Ray has a shirt on that has a pattern printed on it that looks kind of like a topographical map. Yeah. I want folks to pay attention to that and tell me what it is.

Mark: 02:08

I also want people to know that we know who PC Daniel Chalmers is. Though we never say his name. Though we never say his name? Oh, Danny boy. And,

Sarah: 02:20

you know, interesting mailboxes. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. This episode features a cock box.

Sarah: 02:26

A cock box. Are you ready for the watch like a maniac questions?

Mark: 02:31

I think this is a fantastic episode. It's a little different in terms of the structure of it. I would say they're obviously maturing in their storytelling. I think the fact that Mike cries is still devastating to me. Yeah.

Mark: 02:47

And that's not giving anything away, but it's a touching scene.

Sarah: 02:52

It is. Yep. It is. It's very good. Are you ready?

Sarah: 02:55

Yes. Okay. We've got four watch like a maniac questions and a bonus.

Mark: 03:02

And a bonus.

Sarah: 03:03

Here they are. Number one, what music is Frodo into?

Mark: 03:08

We have been watching Frodo like a hawk this season and he has been delivering the goods.

Sarah: 03:15

What's he listening to lately?

Mark: 03:16

What has Frodo been listening to?

Sarah: 03:19

Number two, what physical activity other than cricket are the young people into?

Mark: 03:24

Yes. It is surprising that they are into this activity as well.

Sarah: 03:30

Yes. Number three, what's fenced in on the wall of the pub?

Mark: 03:37

This is super interesting and I definitely would like to know more about this Yes. Particular thing. It sounds like a cool thing that they added to the show and I wanna know more about it.

Sarah: 03:52

What's fenced in on the wall of the pub? Yep. Number four, this is the second mention of Nigel. What was the first?

Mark: 04:00

Yes. So Nigel doesn't make an appearance and he didn't make an appearance first, but he is mentioned previously. And I'd like to know when he was mentioned and why he was mentioned.

Sarah: 04:13

The first time.

Mark: 04:14

The first time.

Sarah: 04:15

Mark: 04:47

Yeah. If you know that, I immediately saw it and went, oh, Sarah, hate this house.
