On the main pod this week we had a great chat with Our Carlson, however we've had a few technical issues with the recording which we're trying to resolve, so we'll hopefully be able to get that episode up for you soon. In the meantime here's the Patreon preview for this week, where we talk about swapping eyebrows and opine over weird shit they say on GOT, such as comely and mummer’s farce.

What's going on? - I was just practicing like making them a slightly darker shade with a brown eyebrow pencil, with a brown eyeliner pencil. - Is that with a spike? So just like a pencil? - Just a pencil. - Yeah. - Yeah. Because Michael Caring said in his book that if you're an actor with lighter eyebrows, then I would recommend cutting them a shade darker with a pencil before an audition. - Really? - Yeah. - Wow. That's his acting, that's his, that was his acting across. - That's his acting across. - Yeah, it's his, this is, yeah. - If you're an actor with lighter eyebrows, lighter eyebrows, like myself. - Yeah. - Yeah, I was gonna say, does that his vibe, does he have lighter eyebrows? - Yeah, I think so. It's a great tip, but it makes you look like a monster. - Do you feel it? Do you see it right now? - I can kind of see it, yeah, yeah. - I can kind of see it now. - Yeah, it looks bizarre on me. Like I'm supposed to have no eyebrows, that's how I'm supposed to look. - Mm. - Yeah, it's funny, isn't it? 'Cause I've got quite pronounced eyebrows. - You do. - I look at my face right now. - And they look good and they suit your face and they're normal, but if those eyebrows were on me. - Yeah, if we swapped eyebrows. (laughing) - We should swap eyebrows in a photo. - Yeah, I'm down. (laughing) - But no, apparently that's what I need to do it if I want my acting career to take off. - I want to make it in the biz. - And I keep forgetting. - Mm. - 'Cause I forget that producers are looking at me going, has he bleached his eyes? Has he got bleached eyebrows, like? And if they think that about me, that's a pretty intense look for a character. - It's very thick. - Yeah, it's very specific. - Yeah. - Like you don't want to have bleached eyebrows as an actor. - No, I mean, they could make up your eyebrows, like, you know. - Oh yeah. - They could make up on people, but it's still not what you're receiving into your eyeballs. - Yeah. - It makes sense, but I'm just gonna look like Oscar the Grouch. (laughing) When I go to the-- - How dark are you gonna make him? 'Cause you'll probably go a bit darker than that if you wanted to. - Look at that. - Oh, it's lighter. (laughing) - I don't know, I mean, it's sort of hard to tell on the screen right now, 'cause it's sort of like fuzzy upload video. - Yeah. - So yeah, they have to see, I wouldn't, you know. - Yeah. - I'd be remiss of me to offer, like, really strong, official advice without seeing it. - But you are on a block art, so you can kind of, you can kind of say things that you don't really mean. You can opine things that you don't necessarily have to stick to forever. - Yeah, exactly. - Like we're always lying and opining on this pod. - What's that? - Opining is showing your opinion. - Really? Oh, it's an opine. - Yeah. - Really? - Yeah. - No one uses that word though, do they? - They don't really. - I know, but who have you heard say it? - They don't really, do they? I meant to say. - Oh, they don't really, yeah. - No. Opine, yeah. - Let me show-- - Make sure I'm not making that up. - That makes sense. You're watching a new game of Thrones. - Oh, it started, but was like a board and turned it off. - Oh, I'm loving it. - Okay, good, maybe we give it another chance. - Give it a go, yeah, it's good. It's really good. - Yeah? - Yeah, this, one of the characters she describes as man as cumbly. - Cumbly. - Yeah. - Wow. - Wasn't not handsome. She's like, puts her hand in his face and goes, "I didn't realize how cumbly you were." Oh, my God. - Cumbly's so good. - Cumbly. - Yeah. - Hang on, I'm gonna, cumbly meaning, let's see. Pleasant to look at, cumbly. - There you go. - Okay, so it's not a mate. I thought it might have been a made up word for the lore of the-- - The show. - Yeah. - Typically used of a woman. - Right. - Cumbly. - The cumbly, it's only an actress, Valeria. Oh, the woman's cumbly. - She was calling the man cumbly. - A cumbly specimen, this is what the dictionary says. Agreeable, suitable, a cumbly specimen. What the fuck? - Yeah, it's an old word. - It reckons it's from Old English-- - It's in the Bible. - Calm, C-Y-M-E, fine, handsome. It's an old English, cumbly. Dutch, no, Dutch, weak, German, frail. German "come" equals frail. Dutch "come" is weak. (laughing) German "come" is frail, Dutch "come" is weak, which is all cumbly. - And it's all cumbly with me. - I gotta share screen for a second and show you the map I'm looking at. - I think I'm looking the same way. - Oh, the same one, what the fuck? - It's like, it goes Germanic, old English at the top. - Yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah. - So it says Dutch "come" weak, German "come" frail. (laughing) English "le" - "come" English "come" - "le" - "comely". (laughing) English "comely". - Old English. - "comely". - "comely" from "come", fine, handsome, of Germanic origin related to Dutch "come" weak. - What is this talking about? - German "come", frail, plus "le". (laughing) (laughing) - Yeah, so they use some good words and gamut thrones. - It was peaking this word use over time for "comely". It was peaking around 1800. That was its, the year 1800 was a big year for "comely". - It's actually making a resurgence, according to this. - It is. So as of about 19, no, as of about-- - It's definitely making a resurgence in this house. I tell you that much. Tash and I've been saying "comely" all week. - Have you? - Yeah. So since, between 1950 and 2020, a 2019, it's kind of like it's going down from 1950 down to about probably what is 1985, I guess, halfway. And then from '85 onwards to now, "comely" is on the return. - Yeah, it's on the, it was in a trough, sort of coming out of that trough now. - Yeah, it's on the comeback tour. - Yeah, it's coming out of the trough. And it's on the comeback tour towards 2030, I'm assuming around 2030 will be as big as it was in 1900. - Probably. - Yeah. - If we're looking at this like a Bitcoin. - You know, I know you're great at reading Bitcoin. - Yeah, BitDaterance charts, yeah. - Yeah, it's a read, the trend suggests that. - The trend suggests by, yeah. - 2030, no. - How did they know about the use over time? - That's just big data in us, they read books and stuff. - Yeah. - And they jot down every time a word's used, they put it in a column, they got a huge piece of paper. And like a chair with wheels, and they slide all the way down to sea, and they go, "Thanks, come, comely, here we go." - Yep. - It's another one, I'd take forever. - Oh my God. - I love it on Game of Thrones too with the subtitles. Whenever a horse makes a noise, it says horse winnies. - Oh yeah, horse winnies, that's a good band name. - Yeah, it is horse winnies. Comely's a good band name too. (laughing) - Comely specimen. It's like a movie name, doesn't it? - It does. - Comely specimen, sorry Jim Gary. (laughing) - Comely specimen. - How are you gonna describe him? - Sorry Jim Gary, and Keira Knightley. - I reckon the, I reckon the origin of this word is that's fake news. The origin is surely to do with, like if you're describing people as comely. - Yeah, if you're like, basically saying, "You're so hot, you make me wanna juice." - Yes, right now. - Yes, pleasant to look at attractive, typically use of a woman. It's kind of a, it's kind of, quite an off, beastie or sort of phrase. Yeah, it's raw, it's raw. - Yeah, it's red raw. - It's red raw. - There's another word in Game of Thrones. It was, it became pissed ourselves laughing, it came out of fucking nowhere. - A mama's, a mama's farce, that's right. It's a mama's farce. They describe something as a mama's farce. - That's good. - How do you spell it again, mama's, mama's farce. Can someone, oh yeah, mama. So it's M-U-M-M-E-R, mama's, mama's, mama's farce. It's when you get deceived by someone to play some role in their fantasy world. Basically meaning someone tries to trick you into something, a mama's farce. - That's so funny.
