Its Kyuth Bert as Bert and Ernie. I KNOW for a fact that's how it is as I listened to Stephen King himself read the audio book for Drawing of The Three. I still call him Cuth Bert. But it's Kyuth Bert for sure
We are now the nearly middle aged King fans we thought our parents were! Wild. I think Scott mentioned that his dad is no longer a King fan. My dad can still talk about King, but he says he hates how "liberal" he is. He hasn't read King in a long time due to political differences.
22:46 Roland's world must use the "Ye" spelling instead of "The". It's pronounced the same, contrary to what people think. "The use of the letter Y was a printer's adaptation of the thorn, þ, the character in the Old English alphabet representing the th- sounds (th) and (th̸) in Modern English; Y was the closest symbol in the Roman alphabet. Originally, the form would have been rendered as [a 'y' with a small 'e' over it] or ye. The pronunciation [yee] today is a spelling pronunciation." So Roland must not recognize the combination "th" because he's used to "þ", as we only used "ye" and then "th" because of the printing press, and Roland's world wouldn't have that in their present.
Re: the detail spent on the cab driver: King could have used the same amount of space to describe the city itself, but instead he does this work through the characterization of someone who is a fixture of (1980's) new york. So it doesn't seem excessive to describe a tertiary character in this much detail, because it's also doing work of describing the setting.
where is that if you don't mind me asking? I've recently started taking caffeine in pill form vs drinking lots of soda/energy drinks! Never heard of it mixed with asprin/painkillers tho :)

Thank god I (and y'all) had Cuthbert's name right, because that's how I have pronounced it for 10 years. XD Cuthbert pronunciation: ua-cam.com/video/hcdOWx1J1-I/v-deo.html I'm also glad I am not the only one that likes Jack Andolini. Not like, as in I would like to be friends, of course, but he's just a well-written and cool character. However.......did King ever say what happened to all of the cocaine?? I tried to go back and find the section for that and never saw anywhere where he mentioned it. Am I crazy?

Also,mort is martin

This is really insightful
Awesome show yall got. The johnny cash reference just blew my mind, i had never figured out how mort/martin is connected to eddie.

Sheemie in Wizard and Glass even thought it was a funny name Key-youth-bert.

I've always pictured Eddie as Charlie's actor lol
Also interesting about Charlie on Lost, it was Charlie's older brother that got him addicted to heroin also.
Love you matt

Fantastic point!

39:00 Maybe that brand doesn't exist anymore, but in my country a aspirin+caffeine pill is very common compared to the regular aspirin.

I think they brought it back with them into the bar right, so I guess it's just hanging out there. Or...the lobstrocities got it.
@@DoofMedia if the latter happened....god help us all.
@@rbenfield3I know this is old but I think we need a cocaine lobstrocities movie to go with the bear and shark ones
@@GummiDropz that would be absolutely terrifying and I would go watch it 5 times
