Full Episode
Ah, we're back, and, you know, we're talking about Versailles, me and my friend Ed, Edward Zitron. I've never called you Edward, it feels wrong.
It's mostly what my mother calls me when I've done something. Edward? Like... Edward Benjamin Zitron. That's when I know I'm in real trouble.
Edward Benjamin Zitron.
Wow. Yeah, that's when I'm about to really get yelled at.
Yeah, I feel like I need to punish you for something just hearing that. Yeah, that's exactly it. It's the punishment phrase. So, Ed... Of Better Offline, we're talking about Versailles and the weird culture of oligarchy. Well, it wasn't. I mean, it's an aristocracy, but whatever. We're talking about this weird subculture that Louis XIV created to govern France.
During that break between recording episodes, neither of you peed, right? Because I'm not okay with that.
I pissed on a plant. What are the French going to do to me?
Behead you. Behead you. It's done.
No, lock you in a fortress. Honestly, though, it'd be pretty cool if I just got to live in a fortress forever. I would not mind a nice fortress stay.
