A gooden tag everyone. Yeah, WelCom tying a podcasting, Welcome of friends.
Um, this is the podcast that is full of mysterious chocolate. Yeah,
yeah, I could fine. There is no place on a map I
can put a thumb tack for whatever the weird accent it was. It was
like like French German. I guess, I guess there is a border there
and depending on the year, it would be Belgium. I guess, yeah,
I guess. But there is like some sweetish chef going on that there
was. It was a mysterious chocolate. What other kind is there on this
podcast? That's true? We don't we don't want no regular chocolate, just
the mysterious ones that only come in the mix, Like like, was it
mister Goodbar, Mister Goodbar a hundred grand cowbean? Yeah, those things don't
like mister Goodbar. You don't see that's that's not for sale anywhere, but
in the bag of tiny candy bars. That is true. Crackle too,
Yeah, Crackle's good Crackle is my favorite out of that bag. Yeah.
I like the Special Dark really yeah, I'll get you and I would get
along then because I never eat the Special Dark. We'll never have a Cocoa
War. This is by Photos. Got you welcome. Welcome, dear listener.
I'm the non German David Flora. I'm the good old Dave Stecco of
the USA, working hard for Joe blister foot out on the front lines.
I hope everybody's doing well. Got a good show for you tonight. Oh
don't we don't we do? Do we? I raised a question, then
I answered it, don't we we do? Mister Flora? How you been
this week? My friend? I've been okay. I've been okay, staying
out of the ice sheet that has covered the Midwest. Oh man, not
me, I'm relishing in it. I got some sweet new boots from my
friend Egan and his lovely wife Rebecca. Man. I the thing is,
I have boots and I've been out in it. But the boots then tweaked
my achilles tendon or something if you want to get a specific boot bite boot
bite, boot bit back. But my ankle has been has seen better days.
I blame the weather, Yeah, I would. I feel good with
blaming the weather for things. But other than that, been good. How
about you, man, It's been great. It's been a It's a nice
busy week. I, as you know, relish the cold weather as the
worse it gets, the happier I am. And with the addition of these
these completely winter proof, awesome ass boots, I couldn't be happier. That's
awesome. I'm a I'm a real son of a bitch like that. I'm
that guy who's just smiling getting pelted in the face with slush. Yeah.
Well, I would like to say that my my wampa hat served me.
Well, Oh, that wampa hat is so cool. Thing is that it's
got flaps, and the wind blows up in those flaps, so I've kind
of had to double up on my hat wear. Listen, hey, hey,
you ever get you ever get some cold air and your wampa flamps?
Let me ask you a question. What do you call the hats that that
you wear in the winter where you're from? Oh? Just the hat?
Literally, just hat. I know a lot of people don't even think about
it. If you were Canadian, they're all tuks. And I know that's
a specific kind of hat, but I think that it's just all winter hats
that have like earflaps. File under tuks. What if they don't have a
winner earflap? What if? What if they're just I've heard them called beanies,
knit caps. I where I was raised, I call him toboggans.
That's ridiculous. Okay, then that's usually the response to that. Yeah,
I know that toboggan is a sled knot hat, thermal hat. I just
like thermals. I don't know. I mean literally, in Colorado, it's
just a hat over here to wear a hat's called out that in other places
that'll get you in so much trouble. I've heard sock hat. Yeah,
I've heard soccer in Chicago of sock cap or something like that. Um.
Yeah, we call him toboggans. And I think if it's not a Southern
thing in general, it must be a central Kentucky thing, or at least
around that area, because I saw a you say central Kentucky and I just
hear redneck. Why, I don't know, like when you have to specify,
like, well, that's mostly a Delbert County, Kentucky thing. I
didn't say anything about Dubert County. Is there a Delbert County? No?
No, but between well, like the Lexington area. And I saw a
video on YouTube the other day that that somebody put up didn't say at all
where they were from or anything. But they mentioned some guy having a bingles
jacket on which you know, chances are you probably around the Cincinnati area or
bleeding down into Kentucky, or because Kentucky doesn't have any professional sports team,
so they go for Cincinnati area anyway, and the guy in the video mentioned
somebody having a toboggan. Didn't but but didn't didn't say they were from Kentucky,
didn't say them from Ohio, didn't say they were from the moon.
You know, I did not know. That's good though, that bolsters your
point. That's that's that's yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to say.
So anyway, that's, uh, that's great. So as you can guess,
this week we're talking about hats, weird hats spose the show, uh
you know before No, we're talking about springtime hats, Easter hats. You
know you see him a lot in spring. I mean the Kentucky Derby is
really the official kickoff to the hat season. And you kick with your foot
which has a heel on it. Oh oh yes, I didn't think a
train could be steered off the tracks, but it can. Because we've got
spring, We've got heels. And I'm surprised, Like I'm I'm pretty pumped
up. I'm jacked up about this. I'm pretty you you wad it up?
I guess with Jack Jack, we've got spring, We've got heels.
We go, Okay, we're talking about springheal Jack. Tonight, spring heel
Jack, something that I'm really excited about. A couple of weeks ago,
I was able to bring the Bunyip to David Flora. He had never heard
of the bunyip before, and he has repaid in kind this week with spring
Heeled Jack. David, please let us know what the hell's going on.
I will, And I would like to point out that I came to know
Springhill Jack through Monsters in my Pocket, the classic toy of little rubber cryptids.
I have never heard of that before. Man. Monsters in my Pocket
had like just tons of neat creatures and cryptids from from mythology and folklore.
Springhill Jack was one of them, one of the common ones. Wow.
Yeah, these are colorful and fun. They're great, and they're also in
our logo. Oh yeah, some of my own personal collection. I threw
in there with a wampa. That's why these things look so familiar, so
springheal Jack. Now he is a Victorian England, a figure of folklore.
Okay, I was I almost wanted to say crypted and it's weird. Yeah,
it's he kind of Maybe he's uncategorized. I guess he could be a
crypted, he could be paranormal. It could be just myth. Yeah,
he's he's whatever it is. It turned. I guess it comes down to
what did you what do you personally decide that person is? Yeah, and
then and then that's how you have to determine what it actually files either.
Right, So he's a, like he said, a Victorian or a figure
folklore made infamous by his attacks on people and his apparent inhuman leaping ability.
Yeah, that's that's where he gets his named spring heeled. Uh. He
was never caught. Nope, whatever or whoever he was never caught. It's
unknown whether it was a real person or a supernatural entity, or maybe an
extraterrestrial or maybe just an urban legend. Yeah, maybe just there's a lot
of references to and maybe he just, you know, an event happened.
He's notable for attacking women, young women. You know, maybe there was
like a group hysteria, but things got fleshed out in the story of Springhill
Jack. So let's dive or maybe walk. Maybe we'll just walk through the
abilities. If Springhill Jack was an X man, which maybe he was,
Springhill Jack's mutin abilities, well, his mutant abilities would be uh, like
we said, a supernatural leaping most notably. Most notably, he could he
could leap over hedgerows and walls that otherwise would either be unscalable by humans or
are with very great difficulty be able to to. They would get significantly more
time than he took to do it right, and probably a ladder he now.
The reports vary on his appearance, but most say that he was tall
and thin. He wore skin tight clothing, and he had red eyes and
sharp meta like claws. Apparently he also had cold clammy hands yeah, cold
skin yeah, and occasionally he breathed blue and white flames out his mouth hole.
He's pretty his X man go metallo claws. He's got wolverine claws.
He's got maybe not like that, but he's got metallic claws. He can
leap, he can shoot flame out of his mouth. Yeah, spooky eyes.
He's kind of like a cross between wolverine and Nightcrawler and Pyro, yeah,
and the Mothman, you know that old X man. He also occasionally
wore a cloak or a cape. Some some reports say. Now there are,
like I said, several reports of how he was described, but some
of them include him looking kind of devil like or even wearing a large helmet
with tight white oilskin clothing, they say. Some some people and reports say
he had a long chin, a long quantity chin, and he was quite
thin or even gaunt, and some reports even say he was half man,
half back, complete with wings and horns and a tall three quarterlin boots.
So I you know, my first reading over this, when I first tried
to read it, I was thinking England's moth Man, straight up, the
red flaming eyes. You know. The people would approach him thinking he was
just just a dude, just a gentleman out for a stroll. But that
quickly failed because this guy does not fit the moth Man. MMO, no,
that would be the Mothman massively multiplayer as I just went, mmm,
but uh, the mom this guy is springhill jack, pretty focused. Things
he likes to do scare women, yea, And those are the good cases
and the good cases, he'll shoot some flames out of his mouth and really
just scare the hell out of somebody, then run down the street giggling.
Yeah. Yeah, more off and then not The objective is the chest.
He is a blouse ripper yep. Uh. At least two of the accounts
that I read, he attacks a woman attempting to rip her clothes off.
Yeah. He's pretty touchy feeling. Yeah, he's uh. And that's and
that's why we get so many details about the the clawed hands, the metallic
hands, and there are you know, there were there were marks left on
the women. They were cut and but these these brief sudden violent attacks and
then he just takes off, ye, disappears into the night. One of
my favorite uh aspects to him is that he was real big into slapping the
hill out of authority figures. Yeah. Yeah, he was a slapper.
Slapper. He would attack women and tear at their clothes and he would come
up and just slap the ship out of safe, take off, laughing.
It makes him kind of endearing. Well, I mean, if it weren't
for the sexual assaults. Yeah, let's go through the sightings, yeah please.
Sightings might date back as far as an eighteen o eight ghost sighting of
a similar type of entity, something that comes and either attacks women or has
this inhuman leaping ability. Yeah, but officially really in eighteen thirty seven,
he attacked some women around London. It wasn't in London proper, it was
kind of the villages around London. But one of them was Polly Adams,
who was a farmer's daughter. He's more of a suburban menace, so yeah,
exactly. Then another woman was Mary Stevens, which didn't have an occupation
that I could find, so who cares homemaker? And both of those he
leaps up them from a dark alley as they're they're walking home late at night,
and he rips up their clothes and he tries to give him mooches,
and then he's scratching at him and then leaps away cackling. And then either
the next day or soon thereafter, he jumps in front of a passing carriage
and he causes the coachman to lose control and crash, which severely injured the
coachman. But again he just he leaps away cackling like you know, it's
it's all good fun for him, and it seemed to be that was another
one of his patterns. And I don't know if this figures into it being
a hysterical thing or or multiple people trying to pull a similar maneuver. But
there's almost three different approaches of springhill jack stories. There is the springhill jack
that likes to scare young women and attack them. There's the springhill jack that
likes to run up and slap people and run away. And then there's authority
figures. And then there's the coach crasher. Yeah, because he there's that
wasn't an isolated thing. This this this concept of him jumping in in front
of a coach, causing it to crash, and then running away. Yeah,
it's interesting. He seems to have three very separate ms and about how
he wants to yeah, and nothing nothing really deviating from that from those three
types of quote unquote attacks and all three of the all three of those things
that mentioned that his means of escape is this amazing leaping ability he just which
made him nigh impossible to chase after. Right, So with him scaling hedgerows
and bounding over walls and things, you know, people couldn't couldn't catch up
to him, which is how he remained a mystery. In eighteen thirty eight,
Sir John Cowan, who was the Lord Mayor of London, was brought
a case of spring kale jack. He was skeptical of the reports and he
thought it was all just total exaggeration, right, you know. He thought,
maybe it is one isolated incident that people just blew out of proportion,
or maybe the newspapers or something got a eleven. You know, he probably
said that it was hogwash or perhaps poppy cock true because we're not yet at
the point where horse Feathers was there exactly. But the funny thing is he
had quite a few reports of similar attacks like this, so it wasn't just
the one that he was that was brought to him. He even had a
letter that had been given to him that spoke of a wager that happened between
some aristocrats that said one of them was bet that he couldn't visit London villages
as a ghost, a bear, and a devil dressed up. I guess
in that guise, and I know that this is something we've mentioned before,
But for the love of God, is there anything with the exception of American
children in the early twentieth century more dangerous than board British rich kids. If
they're not making secret societies, they're making ridiculous bets. They're making everyone's life
a nightmare. Board daft wager man. It always comes back to these board
rich British kids. Yeah, so there was there was that sort of compelling
evidence that the Lord Mayor had to deal with um. A month after that,
a girl named Jane Alsop heard a knock at her door and oh,
oh, oh my, someone's at the door. Where's the butlers? Oh,
we're not rich enough for the butler. Jane Alsop stop asking about a
butler and blinds of a bloody duel. Yes, mother, yes, mother.
So she opens the door. Go with it, dude, just go
with it. She ohs the door. It's a man who's standing out by
the front gate. Right. Oh, yeah, this is elaborate. What's
important is that the butler didn't answer it. She opens the door. There
was a voice out there saying, all right, for the Loma God,
bring us a light. We've cut spring eild jack out in the alley too,
right, so right, give us a light then, come on love.
That's a good God. So whn't you have your butler go grab us
a lantern or a candle, and that's when she started crying, that man
not asking about them. But we're not rich enough for a butler. I'm
sorry, sir, I'm a terrible enemy. That's all right, I'll get
a taste of those crumpets, meself. It's Joel Nutton, but Clever Ruse
forget get as long as he gets me tasty. Spring heel Jackie some of
a bitch. Sorry, what it really was? So okay? So now
that we're done with masterpiece theater, someone approaches the door. All right.
They say they need a light because they have captured springheel Jack, to which
Miss all Sup says, here's your here's the torch and opens the door,
and it's actually springheal Jack himself, who spits flames in her eyes, blue
and white flames, tears at her clothes and her face, and then he
leaps away. Don't feel bad, Love, it was Ola, Clever Ruse.
You're not a first one that has happened to you, now that I
mean, even though we just so clearly said, well it's good, just
a few h ms, that's new. That's pretty a laugh. I'm into
your house, I mean that. Yeah, that's a guy who is chosen
his target at that point. Yeah, I think, or I mean,
it could have been random. She could have just had been the leg of
the drawer there, but it is. Yeah, you're right. It's definitely
different from what he's been doing where it's just grabbing girls out of alleys.
I was just passing through. Figured ought to have more self a bit of
a squeeze, right, Johnny Plan, I'm just terrible at this. He
a week after he leaps from an alley. So he goes back to that
thing, leaps from an alley at a girl named Lucy Scales, and he
breathes that was her nickname because of how she looked. Wow, nice,
great, Well maybe she's a precursor to Illuminati yep, reptilian. So he
breathes fire at her and with her. She just it's scared her so bad
that she just dropped to the ground and started having fits and seizures, right,
and and so he just sort of like left. He didn't even try
scratching at her. He just he just, you know, mission accomplished.
Yep. Back in the shadows he goes. So from then on, the
sightings were mostly sporadic and uh, pretty widespread over England, the worst apparently
being an eighteen forty five murder of a thirteen year old prostitute by the name
of Maria Davis. Wow, that's rough, Yeah, thirteen year old prostitute.
It's rough on mini levels. Boy, I mean it was blamed on
him that he just came out in broad daylight and tossed her off a bridge.
That sounds like pimp behavior. It if it sounds like anything, it
sounds like not what he has been doing or known for. Yeah, So
that one to me was kind of like because he hasn't killed anybody up to
this point, he's just been kind of a righteous ass, you know.
Yeah, that doesn't seem to fit anything that he's that he does or is
interested and most importantly in broad daylight. Right, That's that's that was weird,
But that's that's out. There is a thing that's attributed to him,
huh. In the eighteen seventies, he was reported in many different places,
mostly mostly going around slapping soldiers and authority figures and just cackling. Like he
was reported going around soldiers century boxes and things like that, like jumping on
them or coming up to him out of the dark. And slapping him and
running off, which is pretty ballsy. Yeah, they do have guns.
There's one report in eighteen thirty seven in a place called alder Shot where they
had a barracks. One of the soldiers said a figure came out of the
darkness and he issued several slaps to the soldier's face and uh, and then
he was spotted and chased in Lincolnshire but never never actually caught. A lot
of people set traps for him, which he cackled and avoided, and some
people reported shooting him almost point blank and the shot having no effect on him
and him just leaping away. Now that that could be conjecture or you know,
exaggeration. Yeah, but the last reported sightings were in Liverpool between eighteen
eighty eight and nineteen o four, But there were a couple of more sort
of sightings or or people sort of you know, later came forward and said,
like in nineteen eighty six there was a British Army officer who was apparently
bicycling through Herefordshire and the Beatles lyrics and when somebody somebody came out of the
corner of his eye, leapt onto the road, slapped the ship out of
him. And then leapt away. I just I love that is a attack
is just to slap the hell out of some he sound It's it's almost like
some kind of weird practical joke. It's it's like a it's like a Dave
Chappelle, you know, super villain sketch. Yeah, the night slap.
There were now some reports that he was cited in the US. He was
reported accosting women in Louisville, Kentucky in eighteen eighty and uh, you're saying
nineteen eighty. I was like, that's Rick James, bitch. The weird
thing with this, with these reports is that he had a blue light that
was coming out of his chest from what I from what I read and made
it sound kind of like iron Man Stark, but instead of breathing this blue
and white flame, it was coming out of his chest for that. In
nineteen thirty eight through nineteen forty five, he was reported several times in Cape
Cod, Massachusetts, and Provincetown. A lot of people apparently saw him and
his leaping and slapping and accosting. He was leap slapping vacationers, I guess,
or maybe just the lobster fishermen. Nice finchowder cut Jack Jack Wick It
awesome. I'm gonna leap on with those hatches in your yard and your kids
snap me no total hill jack whole Uh. In nineteen fifty three, he
was seen in Houston, Texas shooting pistols into the air celebrating his oil billions.
And that one was funny because it's like a lot of a lot of
people that are under the extraterrestrial reference for him. They like this story because
he leaped into a pecan tree and then kind of disappears, and then like
moments later people see this this metallic cigar shaped object fly away. Yeah,
so people people are like, yeah, are extra anyway? Yeah, and
we'll get to that. I mean, as we as we alluded to early
on, there is such a weird list of potential everyone's got a theory.
Yeah, it's going to be a hell of a list. So yeah,
well let's let's get into some of the explanations. Yeah, let's just do
that list. Then why tease it? But this guy should be or could
be. Now we'll start out with the prime suspect. Yeah, we have
we actually have a dude, a dude. We can pin this on to
a degree and as always, there's two things that are at the root of
every single problem with cryptids, Sandhill cranes and the Irish. Our primary suspect
is Henry Beresford, the third Marquest of Waterford, who was an Irish nobleman
born in eighteen eleven. I love this guy. Yeah, you know,
like there was a bunch of Irish noblemen who are sitting in a pub explaining
to someone else that say in the gist of this conversation was yeah, but
he's our athole boy so much. Hey. He can be a bit of
a handful of fun time to time, but here's our ours whole hey man's
well, bless his heart. His mother was a hand his father worked in
Liverpool. He pulled on the ships on the dock. Shut your dirty moat
all right? The Marquess also known as the Mad Marquis. Yeah are we
saying that right? Isn't Marquess Marquis Mark? I think it's Marquest because he's
not French, he's Irish. We will never make that miss take uh.
Yeah, this guy was well known for his bodiness. Oh god, everything
in my life. So that someday, dude, Jack Wads will wikipedia me
and it'll say, known for his bodiness. That's that's one of my tombstone
yed of bodiness. He was frequently drunk. Uh, he was always fighting.
He would vandalize things, always joking around, and he'd do anything for
a bets about boxes of cereal. There's a lucky Charms joke there. Oh,
I get it. This guy is not an irishman. He is the
Irishman. Yeah. Here's here's a here's a fun fact about this guy that
I that I saw, like, like, we're not having fun yet,
strap in. He may have been the first to paint the town red.
That for like literally literally now this this is where some people think that saying
comes from. After a successful fox hunt, he came back into town with
with his boils and phoned some tens of red paint and he proceeded to just
splotch it on every building that he came That was a fine fox hunt.
What did you think, Lee? Oh? What have we here? Here's
a few pots of red paint. He got me an idea splash, splash,
It's like a time machine. That's how good we are. No welcome
everybody. When you put those headphones on, you might as well be wow.
Um, so yeah, that's apparently where where that saying comes from.
That's awesome. Paint the town red because of this jag now boy. Yeah
okay, so so we know he likes drinking. Hey, likes drinking.
He likes painting things, putting foxes. Now, it's been suggested that he
had a humiliating experience with a woman and or a police officer at some point.
I repeat, not an Irishman, the irishman. This is the gold
standard of stereotypes. Why isn't there a holiday to this guy? Here's another
thing. He may have had friends who were experts in applied mechanics. No,
which means he might have had them to design spring healed boots for him.
No, then's were the kind of nerds we picked on. Oh you
like your bookie hooks there, do you? Oh you've got her an eclectic
group of friends or like collecting them? This is me friend who likes Dan
Dan. So he's got he's got super engineer friends who are all like,
hey, you know that drunk guy who likes making problems everywhere. Let's give
him the ability to leap away from the authorities. Okay, you know what,
Actually, when I say it all out. It kind of does track.
That kind of does make sense. He may have also practiced fire spitting
because at this point, why the not right, which is really because somebody
just told a fart joke right when he was lighting his cigar. That's the
kind of the humor. I think he would have invested a lot of his
time. If he was alive, he'd be a great fan of ours,
except for the fact who had just spent the last ten minutes laughing at him
outright but doing a spot on impersonation. Now, there was this one encounter
with spring Hill Jack where there was a servant that claimed to have spotted an
embroidered W on Springhill Jack's cloak as he bounced away. The W of Waterford
could be gold. Now does this guy in charge of crystal production? I
think that is Waterford crystal Let's what do you think? Yeah, I think
it is by all accounts. When he married, and he did marry,
at some point he settled down and became a quite a quite a nice old
fellow. He just he was just like, didn't bother anybody. He put
that leaf behind me nor more. I don't even know what accident I'm doing
there it'll go in Lord of the Rings regardless. Perfect, Yeah, exactly,
I'd fit in more door just fine. Died of a horse riding accident.
Was that a horse riding or a whose riding? Um? He did?
He died in eighteen fifty nine. Okay, But the Springhill Jack's sidings
continued after that, well after that, which leads some people to say,
well, were there multiple Springhill Jacks or were there a bunch of copycats?
Maybe the Marquests went out a couple of times and grabbed some boobies and honked
some noses. But I'm glad that you put out the boobies thing, because
can you call it a copycat if like more than one guy jumped out of
an alley and grabbed the girls boobs like like Saturday, this is my homage
to the perfect cream Like that's just o. Of course, I try to
ask myself. I would like to imagine a lot of drunk irishman thinking them
to selves to be Springhill Jack and just getting caught instantly. Yeah, you've
never catched dog. I've one up to spring Hill Jack. I've touched doin
a w grabbed them boobies and then float away. Damn sweet titties are Maine.
For the record, it's never it's never okay to jump out of an
alley and grab at a woman's chest. True true story, even today,
especially even today. I know what you're thinking. Well, surely by now
we've reached a point where that's okay. I'm afraid we're not there yet.
Sorry, guys, keep keep keep it locked down, un lockdown. Come
on. Yeah, a lot of these guys, if they're copycats, they
get drunk, they go out, they hide in an alley, and then
they fall smack on their gulbs. Oh my, gotta test to those black
and clapped in irons. Now, some German paratroopers apparently experimented with spring healed
boots springs in their in their boots during World War Two. You know,
I'm sure, I'm sure that the springs in their boots were exactly the thing
they needed to ensure victory. How did that turn out for those guys?
It actually resulted in quite a few broken ankles. Didn't didn't work out for
them too well, So, um, springs and boots not not such a
great idea? No, no, no, well, I mean they're paratroopers,
so I mean they were using them kind of in reverse. I would
think if you're going to do that, then you'd probably use them to absorb
some shock of landing. Right. I think that was the plan. But
maybe they trusted them too much and locked their knees like idiots. I don't
know they could lear could laurna tang or two from the Oi roage. Oh
you couldn't touched, didn't did you? I didn't learn anything from me.
We'll never stop doing this. This podcast is over Cogney Irish. We haven't
done a voice for the German paratroopers. I guess, I guess we'll let
you pass on that. I'll say. I'll say this. I apologize for
the amount of booby references. Oh I don't apologize. I apologize for the
slaughtering of elect It took us twenty episodes to get here. Finally, Erotic
Mysteries we pulled back around to the Palladians for another episode. I have to
feel I feel like the Marquess had had a game plan drawn up where one
springs in your boots, Yeah, two O three boobies something something boobies equals
profits and that. Yeah. I also looked up methanol, which is a
wood alcohol it's simplest alcohol and methanol apparently can burn with a blue flame.
Yeah, you know spring Hill Jack, famous for shooting shooting white blue flames
out of his out of space. It was developed purely by sixteen sixty one,
was really nailed down in the eighteen hundreds, so it could have been
used by by whoever. Whoever spring Hill Jack was as a burning mechanism.
You know. You know what else I was thinking thing about this when I
was reading these. What occurred to me is like a possible here's a hypothsis
flash powder, right, yea, you know, the photography existed, it
was in its early stages when you use these trays of flash powder. Hold
real still now exactly ten minutes later. Yeah. Um, but if you
if you were to ignite some of this and the palm of your hand just
you know, set it off, it would blind a person right in front
of you. It's it burns obviously white, maybe blue with the smoke.
I don't know, but but that's just to my mind a little little conjecture
there. Yeah, why not? I mean, I don't do you know
anything about the dates of when they worked on that or when that was I
mean, obviously we said photography was coming in into quite into vogue then.
But that's that's why I made sure to say conjecture. It means conjecture is
confused me because you didn't say fun fact. Yeah see, I should have.
Conjecture is a Latin word meaning I'm not gonna look this up. I'm
just gonna say it for the sake of my own comfort and ease. Yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, why not? Like, uh,
I mean, you could pin the stuff that he did on, you
know, any number of explanations and things like that, or you could go
straight for the pinning the tail on the donkey. Oh yeah, let's let's
lose our damn minds now, because here's the thing that is fun about this
when you boil it down spring, heel Jack is just a booby grabber,
but he did it with a crazy amount of panache, with just enough mystery
to make him kind of a piece of folklore. Yeah, and so let's
focus on the folklore. Let's let's focus on the weird, and let's let's
stop thinking that a human being could possibly come up with the wherewithal to stun
another person and touch their boobs. This could only be from another realm.
Yeah, it could be just an exaggeration of folk tales. It could be
the boogieman that parents used to to scare. You know, if you spelled
boogie with a bee replacing the G, why did it take me? It
didn't. That's what I like about it. Uh, could be could be
a ghost. Now. I listened to a really interesting interview. Uh when
when I was researching this, I found a YouTube video that was really just
a long audio file of of an interview um with a guy and they covered
a range of topics, I mean things from Nasca lines and all kinds of
things, but he talked about Springhill Jack for a while, and the overarching
subject was aliens, and he really latched onto spring Hill Jack as a great
example of a potential stranded alien. Yeah, that's the that's the next thing
through the through the looking glass here that perhaps that these you know, it
was a frightened alien, not necessarily boob obsessed, but you you get those
those the the thing that we haven't really everyone talks about the heels. The
jumping ability in an alien that comes from a high gravity world would easily be
able to leap to far more than what we'd expect but the hands, the
claws, they're always described as being metallic or a metallic substance. And even
in you know, some of the pictures people do illustrations, it's always a
leather glove with some kind of metal and yeah, exactly, but granted they
were they're blinded by blue white fire there, don't you dare Manford man this
podcast. Shame in myself for knowing that top black annoid rish do. The
other thing is that and these women, you don't, like, we're so
scared. In some cases they have fits, you know, they really terrified.
Yeah, the one, the one was incapacitated with fits, so it
was just like, all right, you're like really high. But the weird
consistency is that the people always say metallic, like like there's no, oh,
he was wearing a glove with claws on it. There's there's no it's
it's always this somewhat vague and I think that kind of opens the door to
a possible not human thing, that there's this consistent lack of specificity on the
hands, on the claws themselves. Yeah, and you know high, you
know, a very dense creature, high gravity world, Yeah, phosphorus breath
maybe, yeah, phosphorus breath. That's brilliant. Infrared eyes. You know,
maybe they see you in a different spectrum or something. Rate our ears.
All right, all right, all right, we're trying to have a
serious conversation. It smells with lasers. Radar ears. Get out laser old
factory senses. No, no, I did you ever see the John Carter
the movie? I did. I watched it with my family. Oh four
hours. I'll never get back. I keep thinking of him, like you
know how he is on Mars. He's able to leap, you know,
just huge distances or like the stupid ass Hulk in those movies, in the
in any of the Hulk movies, he the Hulk is not a stupid ass.
The Hulk is awesome. Has he been mistreated in many movie representations?
Yes, but the Hulk is awesome. Sorry, dude, I'm not I'm
not a Hulk fan, even in the Avengers cartoon series that's out. Now,
what about the Hulk in the Avengers? The Ruffalo Hulk was awesome,
the best Hulk that there's been, hands down. But I'm that doesn't make
me like the Hulk. Oh, my superpower is to just get angry and
smash. Yeah, it's brilliant because it's so simple. Yeah yeah, you
don't do anything I don't like or I destroy everything. Well yeah, and
I'm indestructible. Kids. Kids should know that the more angry they get,
the more indestructible they are. He's a toddler, that I take it,
gil oh Man, all right, stupid ass hulk. Anyway, these are
examples of of you know, people defying the gravity. Yeah, jumping,
you know big jump is god, this is this is dumb. Just forget
the last two minutes, everybody. I'm gonna remember. Here's here's a no
slubliminal messages. Here's a the so, here's the uh, here's the end
of the rainbow. The pot of gold that we get with with Springhill Jack.
Remember the Irish guy. We're bringing it back. Springhill Jack could be
a tulpa. What could be could be created by a cultist simply to cause
mischief out of out of Tibetans, make it to Ireland. I mean it's
it's people that that practice the The occult could be just you know, brainpower
thinking, thinking something like this into existence. The Irish are people not known
for their focus. Oh maybe it's not. The Irish student I mean,
Tulpa's can be created by anybody who has the focus and determination. All right,
all right, I'm just saying. I mean, hell, I think
they They even say if you keep picturing the same scenario over and over and
worry about it and fret and stuff, that it could happen. Like if
you picture yourself getting mugged every day when you go home. I picture myself
getting mugged by a guy, but he's giving the hundreds of dollars. You
take this money. Money. I picture myself getting mugged by beautiful women every
night. They just punch you and take your wallet. Whatever works, man,
whatever works. What's important is it they're beautiful? Okay, So I
haven't thought this tulpa. Tulpa. That's that. That is shocking. I
am amazed that the tulp showed up at this point. That's that's that's your
pot of goal here. Wow, now here's something interesting. Springhill Jack fits
into a very specific subset of unknown entities. None has phantom attackers thundersound,
which we have not done for a little while. I'm tried it back true,
Sorry everybody, Yeah, phantom attackers also in this weirdly specific little niche,
the mad gasser of Mattoon. Oh yeah, who known here in our
our native state of Illinois, not native in that we were born here,
but it's where our male shows up. You know, there's this weird these
phantom attackers, these unknown entities or people who just show up, whoop some
ass and just disappear. Yeah, nobody knows whence they came, why who
they were. Yeah, this is it's it's kind of getting into spring Hill.
Jack to me is almost in the same boat as the Ripper. I
was just thinking that, like it's getting into that kind of weird. I
mean the arc from back alley booby grabber to cutting, you know, to
sending Scotland yard pieces of a prostitute's liver. True, there's definitely a bridge
to cross there, right, and it's a huge bridge, and it's called
being insane? Is what that bridge is called? I don't know. God
no, maybe dozoles at it coming Their ghosts will haunt you. Yeah,
I mean, maybe it's not up. I started a bit of fun,
had me some boots made, grabbing me some boobies there. I wish what
is a great Cockney word for boobs? Um? Send us emails please?
Yeah, what are some I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with rubber tubes.
Rubbers. It's a rhyming thing, right, I was grabbing me a
little bit of a rubber tubes there. I gotta say, it sounds like
you're talking about dogs. M h. I had me. I had me
a bit of that Tony shaloob there, stuck it right in from meloaf of
bread. Whoa, I get the Cockney rhymey slang. Please, I am
I've never done this. I'm calling out an individual because we happen to have
a good friend who is an expert at this era language. Oh, mel
Evans, what word did Jane Austen use for boobs? Help us? So?
Wait, no, wait, I would like to point out that Jane
Austen word for boob and Cockney word for boob. All right, but I'm
saying in an era all right? All right? Yeah? So mel Evans,
you're I don't think they discussed it. You can't discuss that sort of
stuff. Oh my, what would the VICA say? So? Yeah?
Okay, So if spring Hill Jack trouncing through downtown Abbey, which he had
attacks in that exact same time frames, what do we do with that who
does he attack Mary? Mary? Does he attack Todd? Who? Who
is own? No? No um no no no no no it's can he
attack firefly times? No no, no no no, it's it's Carrie h.
Then there's the redhead once Miranda, right, Miranda, Yeah, that's
what happened, and then he shoe faced mcbuy's a lot. Yeah that's now.
Wait wait, I'm gonna stop right now and apologize for that. So
I'm sorry to take a dump on your sexes in cities and your downtons and
abbey's. Yeah, the point being, The point being, for a long
time I thought it was downtown Abbey. If people were just saying it like
they said it in the show, I was like, oh, downtown Abbey,
you know, the one that's in the middle of the town. It's
a church, be what would the vicar say? You know what? That's
what we need to ask ourselves. I'm getting some rubber bracelets made wa wa
vs what? I don't know why I have a time I caught the accent
means do this though I don't. I can't be to describe what you're did
you just cast a spell on me with It's kind of like I'm I'm moving
them around a crystal ball. But they're also like seizing up with with muscle
specim. Yeah, it's like your hands have rickets. Just your hands means
are all hanks and tickets, which is also Cockney slang for rickets. So
you brought it around. So Springhill Jack, Hey, you've you've never heard
of them, don't pretend you have. And if you have high five,
and if and if you have high five, and you now know more,
hopefully than you haven't won in two you heard more. You will say that
you heard about it a lot. Yeah, I don't know about knowledge.
You heard about it. You heard a lot of dialects. But this is
perfect. This is exactly what we've loved to talk about. This is a
weird fun corner. And thank you, David Flora for bringing it to my
attention. You you're welcome, And for everyone else, that's Springhill Jack in
a sprayingy fire breathing nutshell. All right, oh man, well side a
bit of the punzack of no fancy some punza. I all right, kick
kick this thing off, Flora, I want you to have the first crack
at rhyming the name Springhill Jack, because that's always that's what we've got.
I've got an armor store that's open once a year. It's called the Springshield
Shack. Oh I get it because it's in the springtime and yeah for summer,
for summer campaigning. Okay, all right, I've got I'm ready to
join this pun war. Oh um. So in the aftermath of these terrible
attacks, that the plucky people of the English countryside decided to try to put
a good spin on it. So they started an annual race, a steeple
chase of sorts, where individuals would have to run around a track with obstacles
and they would have to alternate between slapping people of authority. They'd get some
British officers there. They had to slap the officers and grab the breasts of
women who were also lined up in the track. And the place they would
always hold this was called the Springfield track. Would have it in the springtime.
Why is this not an Olympic sport? I agree totally, And I'd
also like to apologize because you see, sometimes you do a podcast, you
research it, but no matter how hard you try, you're really just lashed
tied to the mast of one boat, and it's just one phrase, and
that's the one thing you have to work with. So I'm really really sorry.
I'm really sorry that this isn't an Olympic sport, because if it were,
you'd be doing a podcast with a gold medalist where yeah, that's right,
that's right, we're that good. Well, well, let's let's see
what happens in the next round where the scores can really change. Mister Flora,
okay, double or nothing. Here, I have a pouch store,
a place where you can buy pouches of different sorts called the string sealed sack,
and sir, you win. Now I've got some terrible news. I
was trying to be competitive. I knew I was up against it, and
I'd like to announce that I'd been doping throughout this entire pun Olympics, and
I am out. I leave competition, and so I can no longer use
that phrase legally, So instead I provide you with the following. What a
dumb metaphor? I gave you a headline from the Waterford Courier newspaper in the
year eighteen forty six, A lot of public distrust of the local randy irishman.
That's redundant, and uh so the the headline of the Waterford Courier read
confess marquess and and this mess something something Booby's dress. I fought for that
too. I fought that one. That was not easy to come up with.
Well, I salute you, said, I salute you for limping to
the finish fine as it were. And I just I just want to say,
what if? What if there was a doping scandal with the the old
Boobin slam event? Oh man? Yeah, what if? What if?
Groping? Slap? What? What? What is it called? Well,
it's actually the root of the uh the British phrase, the old slap and
tickle ye who I've hated historical revisionist history. Each officer quite crack on the
goub and each lady got the most delicate of jiggles. All lot watching me
a bit of the old happened Pickle. I don't know why it needed a
replacement, but happen Pickle. That is the name of the worst pub in
England, behind the Hayden Ticket. I'm going to open a pop called the
Hayton Ticket. Oh man, We're sorry, sort of sort of, but
we're proud to humbling proude, humbling prode of our heritage Scottish. It has
nothing to do with it, but I think they would do well at the
old slapp and tickle. Oh yeah, absolutely. If you can toss a
caber, you can grab a booby. I'll tell you what not to be
outdone by one of our frenzied listeners. Oh yes, the magnanimous Greg has

me? And not once where GMOs explained to me in a pumpkin metaphor?
Gwinn, you are correct, you are right, and I apologize, son

line with what we want. Yeah, and what you should do as your
duty. Yep, you have done your duty, and thank you. For
pointing out because we're wrong. See how easy it is to say that.
Yep, when you don't have an ego wrapped up with it, you can
just look the truth in the face. Ever heard of it. It's called
the truth. Yeah, it's for real. Stares at you a lot,
regardless of whether or not you want to admit it. All right, at
this point, I'm just putting off the build yet, this delaying. All
right, into the box with me. We've got our materials. I'm going
to read a recognizable soliloquy and I'm not even gonna identify it because if if
you don't know it, God have mercy on your soul. All right,
on go the headphones and we entered the potal deep the Ox Jesus Okay,
Episode four, Our New Help. It is a period of civil war.
Rebels spaceships that's striking from a hidden base have a won their versus Vickery against
the evil galactic emblem Hire. During the battle, rebel spies managed to steal
secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space
stations with enough power to destroy the entire planet. Pursued by the Empires,
sinister agents Princess Leia raised, this is home Aborders starship custodian of the stolen
plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy. And I'm
out. I have to say. You got better as you went along,
though. Yeah. Every now and then I could like focus it in and
then I lose it again, Like when I started like a new sentence,
it was over again. That's so great, all right, I guess I
gotta go in. Yeah, you do, get your ass in the box.
All right, it's my turn in this beast um. So we have
selected for me the President's speech from Independence Day, the fine Bill Pullman,
the speech from Independence Day. Great, that's if you don't know that speech,
don't worry you. You'll recognize it maybe anyway. And I go get
in there, all right. I have their headphones on right now, Good
morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from
around the world, and you will be launching the largest aeal battle in this
history of mankind. Mankind that words should have new meaning for us, all
all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps perhaps it is fate that
today is the fourth of July and you will once again be fighting for our
freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation.
And we're fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we
win, the day the fourth of July will no longer be known as as
American Holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice,
we will not go to wildlant, we will not vanish without a fight.
We're going to live on. We're going to survive. Today we celebrate our
Independence Day. All its deliciously brutal. That one hit you a lot harder
than the last one day. I think I just need to abandon all caution
and just do it. Oh yeah, because I that's probably worried about talking
slow last time and being understood. Yeah that you just need to say it,
just read it. Yeah. Oh that's brilliant. Wow, all right,
well thanks, uh Gwen mccoh, Yeah, your dirty hain't brutal.
Hell. I know that we've paid our debt to society. Now let's continue
giving. Yes, there are there are some individuals out there who need to
be recognized. I'd like to lead the charge. Now we've mentioned him before
he virtually provided us an entire podcast in October. Yeah, mister Kenneth Hight,
who we love dearly, is not only a very talented writer, but
he too has thrown his hat into the podcast ring, which is you know,
pretty great, right, it's a big ring. So Ken our good
friend. He's got a podcast with his friend Robin Laws, Robin D.
Laws, and they are both very successful individuals. I know, Ken is
a very prolific writer and also works a lot in the role playing game industry,
which I like the idea of an industry, like there's that's a big
industry, twenty side of dies just rolling out the back of a factory.
But no, it's it's a fascinating podcast. They talk about really interesting things,
even if you're not into role playing games. But there's this interesting thing.
The podcast that I've just recently listened to talked about the difference between in
time. There's the time that the characters and whatever, whether it's a video
game or whatever you're playing, experience versus the time that the players experiences and
how a game has to manage those two things. Also some really great political
discussion. I mean, these guys really cover a lot of ground and if
you have the time, it's definitely worth listening to. It's called Sorry if
you don't have the time, Thanks Obama. Yeah, see how politic we
can do political? Yeah, we get that cover. Think you're so special?
Can he is special? So please check it out on iTunes. It's
called Ken and Robin talk about Stuff. You'll love it. It's absolutely great
and we've we've mentioned in this podcast, we've referenced our good friend mel Evans,
Oh yeah, who has a wonderful podcast with Mark Colam called An Hour
with Your Ex. Yep, go listen to that. They take some kind
of type of media that one or the other hasn't seen or heard or read
and forced them. Yeah. They literally have a gun and they trade off
either week and they hold the gun to the other person and so it's a
starter pistol. It doesn't end ball. That still hurts, man, I
know, but they care about each other so they want to be safe.
So check that one out. Please do It's and I'll say this, I
have a hard time with it because sometimes I'm not that hip. I don't
like watch things when they come out. I'm way behind on Downtown Abbey or
downtown Abbey and so I can tell sometimes I have to skip an episode because
I haven't seen the thing they're talking about, but sometimes when I have,
I get really excited. So if yeah, I mean, if you've ever
seen you know, pulp fiction or Jaws. Yeah, or maybe if you'd
like to hear them discuss House of Cards Mel Evans, maybe that would be
fun for them to do a podcast about. We want to extend a very,
very huge and special thank you to an artist this week, Roger Langridge,
who gave us permission to use his amersing spring heel jack illustration. Oh

You've got iron Man in Thor and more than that, you've got Loki.
