Take me back to the place I know with the Mister Shack and the forest
gnomes. I'm already back, so come on, let's go. Don't get
me started. My heart's in gravity Falls. Welcome to what easily could be
called Mystery Shack Look Back, Look Back. The time capsule has already been
buried, the book club has already been shot. We covered every episode of
Gravity Falls and it was a blast, so I thought it was worth doing
a sort a little best of here. My name is Charlie Marlowe. I
edited probably seventy five percent of what you're about to hear. I will edit
your podcast for you. You could contact me at voice at charliemarlow dot com
c h A r l E y m A r l o w E if
you want to discuss rates for podcast editing. I will be archiving all of
the episodes of Mystery Shack Look Back to the Mystery Shack Look Back YouTube soon
with some visuals for when we play clips or or refer to images, so
keep a lookout for that. And the last three Garden Wall recalls will be
coming soon. I'm really sorry. I moved across the world. Ello moved
out, got a day job, the first time. We've been incredibly sidetracked
with life things and other projects. But how's this for a transition into the
best of clips about it? Years since it was just you and I sitting
down talking about gravity falls, just the two of us here in this antarctic
research facility, you know, far away from any other civilization or people.
Well there is there is that other facility that's really not too far off off
the suites. No, they're Norwegians. Ella, I'll probably oh you do.
Oh oh no, oof, big oof moment. I didn't know the
circus is in town, am I right? Thank you ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you, thank you. That was our dramatic interpretation. It was a
little, a little to two person show of the thing. John Carpenter's the
thing, John Carper He is, Oh no, we should pardon him.
This is her second time on Mystery Shack. Look back it is. Do
you know what that means? Uh? No? What does that mean?
Do I get a prize? You know? If this whole podcast is sort
of a museum of the gravity falls fandom, and we're the curators, so
it belongs in a museum show exactly, And now so do you you are
to graduate into a docent. Oh excellent. I looked up that word the
other day when you said it on the show, and I needed to know
what that meant. Define docent, because actually I don't know what We've got
that question many times before. A docent is a term used in America to
describe a volunteer tour guide at a museum. If you could lift your right
hand in the air and place your left hand on this copy of Journal three.
So I want you to raise your right hand, okay, good,
and place your other hand on this Journal three. Got it right from the
show. It's a cartoon book. Actually doing it. Yeah, raise your
right hand and place your left hand on this copy of Gravity Falls, Journal

Hi yourself, welcome. Welcome, mister Bass. May I call you big
mouth Billy? Okay? Gotcha? All right? Well, I guess I
had a question. Did you learn that they paid a tribute to you,
Billy? My god? Really that is crazy. There is, in fact,
a mounted singing fish with a Jamaican accent in this episode. Oh yeah,
I guess it is kind of on the nose to your likeness. We
were asked to do a basketball episode, and so I made an episode called
Grup Jam, in which we treat space jam. Hold on back. You
were asked to create a basketball episode? Yeah, they were doing a tie
in with the NBA. So I think all the shows are asked to do,
Okay, a basketball episode and so like when They told me that I
quickly grabbed a you know, I quickly grabbed an index card and wrote down
as fast as I could grub Jam, held it up to them and they
were like, all right, Kyle knows what to do. So Yeah,
I made this episode treating Space Jam as if it's like a fairy tale that's
been retold a million times and we're just doing our version of it. Yeah.
The first set of shorts started airing on October fourteenth, twenty thirteen.
But something else happened on October twenty fourteen that I would be remiss not to
bring up on this podcast, and frankly, I don't know where else we
have the opportunity to talk about this. On October fourteenth, twenty thirteen,
Alex Hirsch tweeted a picture of this this game that appeared on the app store,
like on the iTunes store, and Michael, why don't you describe what
you're seeing here? Oh, that looks like some copywriting seen one. Yes,
this is Mystery Kids Run. Mystery Kids Run. Mystery Kids Run was
an app. It is an app. Actually, it is still on the
App Store as far as I can tell. The iTunes description reads join Jack
as he maneuvers through the mysterious forest, dodge obstacles, and speed through to
test your reflexes. Fun for boys and girls of all ages. Sorry,
Charlie, you can't try it out today. Only fun for boys and girls.
Oh, only fun for folks on the buying area. Also, I've
never had an iPhone, and so there are a number of reasons that I
will know. Yeah, there's a lot of recoloring going on here. What
are you talking about? Jack wars jeans, Stipper wears shorts. You're very
confused. The sad thing is that Bruncle Stan would absolutely approve of this game.
So here's the ella ella. Don't kid yourself, Google, Stan made
this day, made this game. Yeah, you're right, he did.
I think that's it. I think that's it. And why don't you read
the game overscreen here for us, Michael, it's the last image, Els
said, Oh I love it. It's just you die Sous over Stan's shoulder.
Like that's a little harsh, don what about like game over or something
or try again? I cannot notice that you drew excess over depresion. No,
no, no, this is Jack sus and Jack is dead. Sous.
Jack has a motor coil just like the rest of us. Then he
will one day shuffle off any resemblance to persons living a dead, in this
case dead fairly coincidental. The Love God is the ninth episode of season two
of Gravity Falls, in the twenty ninth episode overall. It premiered on November
twenty six, twenty fourteen, on Disney Xday sort of. It was released
on the Disney XD site, the Watch Disney XD app and on man Services
on the twenty fourth as a part of Let's see if I've got this right
Pranksgiving, So Pranksgiving, I think is probably the best programming slot we've so
far. So far, we've had Disney Channel's mon Stover, terrible Monstober that
almost works. No, I think the worst ju the worst one is January.
January is by far the worst. There wasn't gravity Falls in that one.
People were scanning January for new gravity Falls and there was not. Best
one that gravity Falls has been in so far is Freaky freakind Freaky Freaking was
great. Freaky Freaking was the programming block of body swap episodes that was good.
Michael is praying for Disney to stop being so Disney pranksgiving. I would
say, I mean it's our first Disney XD block rather than Disney Channel,
and I say, somewhere in the middle, yeah, I could see,
you know, this episode there's kind of a kind of a party atmosphere to
it. I could see how it fits. But it's also just that Disney
XD was quote unquote for boys, so I guess they were. It's very
it's very blam. It's got blam. Yeah, welcome back to Blam,
the ultimate thrill ride through the world of play it Cool. There's a girl
watching ready stam get someone called the Flambulence. Let's rewind a blam cam to
see that again. One thing that's funny about all those names is that like
Disney turn like we me and Alex came up with so many like marketing ideas
to try to like spread the word about gravity falls. And they were like
these like ideas that were like full of love and inspiration and they're like no,
no, no, no, no, dog, we got jen Newwarry.
That's where we're at. It would like shoot us down and then come
up with freaky freaking franksgiving cool blam plam lamb play blam. Hey, Alexa,
what do you think of this? Oh, we get to utter the
immortal words. I assume this is gonna have like a Gravity Falls type of
theme song. Hey, uh, a Lexa, what do you think of
this? Can I start talking about the guest voice? Heck? Yeah is
the guest Who is the guest voice in this episode? So it's Lance Bass
a k a. Lanceton from in Sync? Oh? Yes, I think
I've heard of that little indie band. Yeah you might. You know,
I can't really name three other albums, but uh so can I? Can
I tell a story of how Lance Bass got involved with in Sync? Yes?
Yes, please. Jason Galassa was the bass singer for in Sync when
the band was first formed. The name n S Y n C comes from
the last letters of their first names, Justin, Ris, Joey, Jason,
and jac and Jason dropped out of the band at the last second,
so Justin Timberlake called his vocal coach and asked him to find a new bass
or a new bass. Huh. Do you think he's related to big mouth
Billy Bass? Yes? Oh yeah, because Lance Bass was being trained by
the same vocal coach and was sixteen at the time, and so the naming
scheme could still work. They gave him the nickname Lanceton I mean points for
creativity. And Lance's voice acting debut was not here in Gravity Falls, but
actually in Kingdom Hearts, where he voiced the cameo from Cepheroth, the villain
from Final Fantasy seventh. You know, a very normal career path from being
an amboyman. I have I need to point out that that Cepharoth has had
three voices thus far. George Newbern voiced uh Sephiroth in the film Final Fantasy
Advent Children. You might know George Newbern as the voice of Superman from the
Justice League animated series. Tyler Hackland voiced Sepharov in Final Fantasy seven remake,
which came out last year twenty twenty. Tyler Hackland you also might recognize as
one of the alternate Superman from the Crisis on Infinite Earth's plotline on the DC
television universe, which means lancet in Bass is the only Sepharov voice actor who
has not played Superman yet yet. Let's get it go. Let's get Let's
make a hashtag well change dot org hashtag super Lance Petitions petitions up. Every
petition to be fair. I've never seen Lance Bass and Superman in the same
run. That's true, would we know? And here's what we also know
that might might lead a little credence to that theory. Ella, Yeah,
Lance Bass can fly. Also Lance Bass. This is just a direct copy
paste from Wikipedia. Was certified by both NASA and the Russian Space Program after
several months of cosmonaut training, and planned to join the TMA one mission to
the International Space Station in August two thousand and two. He entered cosmonaut training
in star City, Russia, and he never got to go to space unfortunately,
but he retains fluent Russian to this day and he is certified, So
he is a cosmonaut. He is a cosmonaut, and he would be the
captain of my starship, crewed by the Gravity Falls voice actors ye in My
Brother, My Brother and Me episode five hundred and fourteen titled Kikio. They
discussed this and then discover that because the mission was uh is designed with Lance
Bass's inclusion in mind, it was built to accommodate his weight, right,
because weight it has to be incredibly specific. You have to make sure everything
is calculated out. So there was a barrel out there somewhere in Russia that
weighs the exact same amount as Lance Bass. Uh. In that episode of
My Brother, My Brother and Me, Griffin expressed his intention to acquire it
for their podcast, Shelby, are you ready to start a feud? I'm
so ready to start a feud. But you did not explain why couldn't he
go to space? Oh Uh? It was discovered that he had arrhythmia because
of a medical check yes done by the cosmonaut program, which was fixed and
his life was saved. So if he had not done cosmonaut training, Lance
Bass would be dead, which is unfortunate because he is also a champion of
gay rights. By the way, this is in fact singer, podcaster,
astronauts and gay rights advocate, gay rights advocate the ultimate boy band with a
life saving barrel that I do believe we need to acquire. Yes, we're
gonna get it before the Macaroys do. I love it. So we're creating
kind of an Indiana Jones kind of search for an artifact, and we're gonna
get it first. And and we're we're a red dotted line on a map
and we're looking for it. We're gonna go to Russia outside the temple,
and and Griffin's gonna be like, so mystery shack, look back once again?
What was what was once imagining Griffin dressed with the little hat and the
glass Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yes, And then they opened the
barrel and their faces melt off. But then I guess this is just the
equivalent of that, but more of an inspirational remember the Titans esque Yeah,
or what's the sports drama? What's that Rudy or whatever? Right, Rudy,
Rudy. You don't know about the film Rudy, Rudy, Rudy is
well, okay, so there's a joke in something, But apparently it's a
common joke, because it's in a lot of articles that watching the film Rudy
is one of the only appropriate times for a man to cry. You are
too female to have even heard of Rudy. You're right, I'm nine binary,
so I'm half familiar with Rudy. Yeah, Grunkle Stan wins. The
football ball is better than Rudy. If Rudy has a ninety nine percent on
rotten tomatoes, Grunkle Stan wins, the football ball has a one hundred percent
certified fresh. Not only is it more concise, but it has a talking
robot for the kids. I would even go as far to say, they
say that Rudy is one of the only times a man is allowed to cry?
Have you cry at Rudy and not Grunkle Stan wins the Football Bowl?
Are you a real man? Are you a real man? I'm not sure.
We're not expert. We're asking. No, we actually failed pretty miraculously.
Oh no, yeah, we're just cured. We're not. This is
not not a judgment. Now, are you a real man? Like?
We don't know? Reda user in Tomorrow twelve, asked, so back in
Sunday School, the church I went to was very old and took everything very
seriously. The priests used to have a serious talk with us about demons and
such, and took our questions very seriously and answered everything that they could.
They said that if there was a possession, that even if the demon was
gone, it still had a way into the person if the person wasn't blessed
or purified of the demon essence. So my question is, since Dipper hasn't
got a church to be blessed purivide at least sorry, at least that we've
seen. Yeah, offscreen church. Yeah, Dipper has not gone to every
Sunday in church. Dipper has become Catholic. Is just getting rebaptized once.
Yeah, he's like, you can't be too careful about this, my father.
You're not going to believe what Mabel did this week. Oh Man,
send us your best. Dipper has become Catholic. The Horrible Nightmare. Yeah,
let's hear about your account of the Jigsaw puzzle, Jason. We've only
seen videos of the puzzle. You were down in the trenches, Jason,
Yeah, you were born in it, molded by it. I saw the
bag come out of the po box. I was right there, Oh my
god, and I was so excited and as useless as I was trying to
find that pouch with the USB earlier in Century City. I was like,
Oh, a puzzle, a jingsaw puzzle to know less. This is where
I shine. It is Bill on a yellow background, not a different yellow,
the same yellow as Bill. Yellow lines on a yellow background. And
they're also just random lines to resemble shapes that might be in Bill just around
it. I'm getting a headache just hearing about it. The ones with the
little black like lines you could sort of try to match angles, but we
also they were symbols, so we didn't know what they were supposed to be.
Were just like this is generally the right. We started with the borders,
which was very helpful, but then there was just a sea of yellow
pieces, which would be like basically taking a jigsaw puzzle, flipping it upside
down so you can't see any picture at all and just trying to match based
on shape, except that's the picture. When you found a yellow piece that
fit with another yellow piece, it was like euphoria. No drug will get
you. The light of God shone down on you like blues brothers. Jason's
been chasing this high ever since. You start to feel like, I think
I've seen a piece that's some like kind of this shape. Still to this
day, when you close your eyes, all you see is yellow. Yeah.
Basically, the physical puzzle was finally complete on August first, and then
it was signed and displayed I believe, in that store, and then the
store what to hang it up. But oh my god, we were deep
into several episodes. Hirsch was debating whether we wanted a journal or not,
or any kind of book for different half and so like in the original version
of the gobbel Walker when he says there's a space hidden on the wall,
he was just looking at a map in the first iteration of our story.
So we got to the episode where where it's revealed that Gideon has journal too,
and the original ending of that episode had Gideon like just kind of stewing
it by himself at home and a shadowy demon comes in and starts speaking with
him. Wow. We pitched that to our exec Eric Coleman, and Eric
loved it. He said, this is great, this is great, And
then like after lauding the episode, he turned towards us and specifically Alex and
said, hope you guys have this all worked out. Hope you know where
you're going. So after that we had like this panic to meeting. Alex
is like yeah, yeah, okay, we got to figure out how we're
doing that. What are we doing? What are we doing? I can
totally picture the Gilligan cut cliche. I'm just like, yeah, of course
we have a plan. We have no plan. That reminds me of the
story that when you found that Season one ends with a cryptogram that says search
for the Blind Eye. You Rob told Alex that better mean something. Alex
is like, yeah, of course it. Oh my god, it doesn't
mean anything. I just thought it sounded cool. Well, you know,
once once we established that, like there's going to be codes and all the
things that are mystery, do you think that are something are going to be
something? Or most of them will be something and some of them will be
fake outs? Exactly know. I felt like we had to produce on that
promise. It's fascinating to know now that the New York Times best selling journal
three almost just didn't exist in the show. I just had no basis.
So we had a we had a brainstorming session, and we were all pitching
ideas to each other and figuring out what we could do visa the book,
visa what was what was the deal with Gideon and who was behind him?
Who was this mystery figure? Yeah? Was it going to be Bill?
Was it going to be somebody else? We talked for like a couple hours,
and then Alex said, Okay, we've talked about a bunch of stuff.
Let's all go off and come up with an idea. Okay, our
idea. We'll come back to the room and we'll pitch it. So I'm
the one. I'm the one who went away and came back with the idea
that there's not one book, but there's three. Yeah, I said,
I said, Dipper as Journal number three, Gideon as Journal number two,
and Stan has Journal number one. And everybody went with that idea. Everybody
went thought that was the idea to go with. I mean, it's perfect.
So this truly is your baby. Then Journal three really just is your
baby in a way. I mean Alex want Alex possibly wanted Dipper to have
a book, but he didn't really know what beyond the key was the key
the idea that I came up with that I thought like, well, this
is this is great is that you know Gideon has a book, and then
we reveal later on that Stan has a book, and that just like deepened
the mystery about it. Yeah. Right, It naturally leads you because once
you see in Tourist Trapped Journal three, immediately you're like, okay, yeah,
we're doing one. Yeah exactly, I'm gonna I'm gonna plead here with
the listeners. Alex has never been to Chicago, and that means I have
never been able to meet him because I don't have any money. Everybody needs
to harass him, write him such a letter so that he comes to Chicago
specifically to visit me. Yeah, tape Alex to the bean forever and I
can ask him like really stupid questions, not even scholarly questions, just really
dumb ones. It can be both. Do you guys want to know the
story of Bradley because it's never been told to Regale before. But I'm not
This isn't as exclusive the tale of Bradley. So you know this whole thing
is a collaboration. Uh, it's it's a dance between order and chaos and
you have no idea what's going to happen, And believe it or not,
Bill Cipher's statue was found months before we even launched the hunt. Oh my
gosh, really check this out. I believe it was mystery of gravity or
gravity fall side for our friend, that mysterious fella who is aware of all
things online, who alerted me to the fact before we even started that someone
had Basically what happened was this kid, Bradley was just wandering around in the
woods that he lives in Readsport when saw the Bill Cipher statue. Never heard
of gravity falls, had no context for it. The thing hadn't been launched
I don't even know if the show had ended yet at this point, and
you didn't know to dig well, he didn't, So here's the thing.
He took a picture of it, and he uploaded it again, ages before
this thing was even started to a like reddit like Reddit Unsolved Mysteries, Creepy
pasta was exactly and he said, hey, I saw this thing in the
woods. Does anyone know what this is? And it was a blurry picture
and he didn't have He wasn't like a well known redditor and nobody even saw
it. But I remembering correctly, my friend gravity Falls Cipher reached out to
me and said, somebody found this thing. And what I did is as
the voice of God. I was like, see if you can get ahold
of this guy's email, kidnap and put him in a van. I emailed
him. I said, hey, congratulations Bradley, but finding this means that
you've got a prize. But you have to take that picture off of Reddit.
Immediately, take the picture off of Reddit. Give me a call and
I'll explain so and make sure make sure the USB sick is still there.
So he deleted the image off of Reddit. He called me, I just
heard this kid's voice like, hey, what's up. This is Bradley.
I was like, Bradley. I think it was like two am when I
was talking to him. I was like, Bradley, probably are you up.
You have to meet me at the Twin Finds. This is very important.
So I just I was like, Bradley, here's what's up. I've
created this big, fun treasure hunt and it's it's part of a project for
television series. And actually you, amazingly you found it first, and I
would love to send you some some gravity Falls goodies and a hundred bucks.
He's like, oh yeah, a hundred bucks. Yeah, okay, I
just have to delete the pictures, Like yeah, yeah, all you gotta
do is delete the picture and he's like, oh wait. So like everyone's
gonna be hunting for this. So Mystery Shack look Back Exclusive Cipher Hunt would
not have panned out how it did if Alex Hirsh did not bribe a child.
Yes he's found on Reddit at two in the morning and the dead of
night. I bribed a child and I said like, oh, if you
a hundred bucks, you delete the thing. And he's like he's like,
oh, but I'm the one who found it. Like someone else gonna get
at the credit for fighting as like Bradley, you could take credit for being
the first one to find it after after the thing has been located. And
so Bradley took it upon himself to and he's like, so, what's what's
there? What are people looking for? I'm like, oh, I buried
a little treasure chest so badly came back, opened up the treasure chests,
wrote down Bradley was here, reburied it, deleted it. I sent him
a hundred bucks. But he made it. He managed to be part of
Gravity Falls Lord Forever. But that's a that's a podcast exclusive. Wow,
the Tale of Bradley. He just did that. He wrote that himself.
He just I'm imagining that one day Bradley will create a cartoon show of his
own and Alex will just you know, from working in that world to be
exposed to it and be like, why does that name sound so familiar?
I will try to spoil his treasure. Yeah, and I'll get my hundred
bucks back. This is this podcast is all to say, one, bring
back mustard brushes, but two, this is uh kind of a heist that
we're doing. It's called It's called Ben Benjamin Heist. We're trying to get
Alex' one hundred dollars from Just give me my cash, Bradley he stipe hunts
don't come cheap. So kudos to Bradley, and kudos to the official Gravity
Falls mayor and the family that found all these treasures. What did you think
was behind the vending machine? I had no idea. I mean, I
had no idea. I just it was like, what is he doing?
Is this? It seems high tech? So was it like a bookcase,
like, oh, it's a secret room where he just goes to Like,
gotcha? Why? It was like something he's doing something back there. Be
careful though, guys, because there are there are some zoning restrictions about where
we can and can't talk about fan theories. Oh that's right, that's right,
Jason. We have a designator hallway. Yeah the yeah, no landlord
rules, uh, city restrictions yet, so we actually have a hall of
conspiracies where it is safe and appropriate to talk about these things. Oh so
why don't we go into that, SEGM Yeah, will you follow us?
Yes, let's go to the Hall of conspiracy, Ladies and gentlemen, the
Hall of conspiracy. Why is uh, why is why is that conspiracy?
Over there? Got like a weird pick purple pixel things dhing on it.
That's fine, don't worry about it. Okay, Okay, so David's David's
glitching through the wall. David, can you can you just podcast from within
the wall there? Okay? I think I'm stuck. Okay, I'm gonna
I'm gonna have to just like jump into the river twenty times. So,
David, do you remember you start out in the pixely Shack? Yeah?
I think I remember that. I'm sorry, I just realized I had a
ferry on me, so I gotta keep jumping into the river again. Welcome
to mystery Shack. Look back, I'm your docent, David Spencer. Well,
anyway, it was this was a recent post, but it's talking about
this episode and no other episode. So do you want me to read it?
A whole lot of text to it? All right? Send it all
over in the send it on over to the podcast machine. Yeah, just
let feed that through the podcast ella. Can you feed this through the podcast
machine real quick? I always have to feed the podcast machine my sleeve,
my sleeve, my sleeve. Help help. Ah, She's fine. I
hate feeding the podcast machine. All right here it is okay, Alexa,
I actually have something to read for you. Okay, this is an excellent
text. I'm a big fan. It reads grunkle Stan. I think he's
going to do something very noble, Like he's gonna be like ah, and
then he's gonna like sacrifice his arm or something. I feel like there was
a loved one and you know, maybe that person is not in the picture
anymore. And who wrote this journal? I thought that grunkle stand and a
significant other wrote it together. Ah, okay, interesting the person that uh
is no longer in the picture disappeared. I see that there's this is not
at This is an interesting hand one two three. From our knowledge of the
six fingered being is usually a villain. What if the six fingered person is
the significant other of gronkel Stan Alexa Quison, June fifth, twenty twenty one,
after viewing only the first episode of It Falls is not a hobby.
It is a game, and Alexa, you are the winner. If I
understand correctly. Sort of the thesis of your podcast is you're not just trying
to chronicle the show, nor are you're just trying to chronicle the fan stuff.
You're trying to chronicle the sort of confluence of the two, the unique
experience that it was to watch as it was happening in a particular moment in
time. You guys are doing something really important here, and that is the
preservation of partextural and cultural memory, which is, as we've been saying,
fans do develop their own cultures. Not only do we have to work to
preserve the memory of gravity falls in places like Wiki's and try to maintain pieces
of like Alex's tweets and all of the secret codes so that future fans can
come along and dissect these things with the same opportunities that we had, but
we also in a way sort of preserve our own memories with each other and
things that we were thinking at the time, and that is incredibly vital to
who we are as a group of people, as a fandom. I just
want to compliment the two of you on how you know, talking about this
episode has really made me think back to previous episodes of this podcast and how
well the two of you walk the line of sharing the conspiracy in the theory.
Thank you and giving even weight to the ones that turned out to be
true and the ones that weren't. And I have never ever said this about
a podcast before in my life. I'm really excited to go back and re
listen to all of the episodes all over again, because now I want to
do that. Thank you God. It's really happy. Well, I mean
that's the very first words of our very first episode, take me back,
my goodness. Even the song take me back to the place sign know,
with the mister check and the forest gnomes. I'm already back. So come

the taste of battery acid, so that must be thing. It's a living.
