00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:37.880
A gooden tag everyone. Yeah,
WelCom tying a podcasting, Welcome of friends.

2
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:48.000
Um, this is the podcast that
is full of mysterious chocolate. Yeah,

3
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.560
yeah, I could fine. There
is no place on a map I

4
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.640
can put a thumb tack for whatever
the weird accent it was. It was

5
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.920
like like French German. I guess, I guess there is a border there

6
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.239
and depending on the year, it
would be Belgium. I guess, yeah,

7
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.640
I guess. But there is like
some sweetish chef going on that there

8
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.599
was. It was a mysterious chocolate. What other kind is there on this

9
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.120
podcast? That's true? We don't
we don't want no regular chocolate, just

10
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.840
the mysterious ones that only come in
the mix, Like like, was it

11
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.879
mister Goodbar, Mister Goodbar a hundred
grand cowbean? Yeah, those things don't

12
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.599
like mister Goodbar. You don't see
that's that's not for sale anywhere, but

13
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.640
in the bag of tiny candy bars. That is true. Crackle too,

14
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.280
Yeah, Crackle's good Crackle is my
favorite out of that bag. Yeah.

15
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.319
I like the Special Dark really yeah, I'll get you and I would get

16
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.319

Special Dark. We'll never have a Cocoa

00:01:51.400 --> 00:02:00.359
War. This is by Photos.

23
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.520
this week? My friend? I've
been okay. I've been okay, staying

24
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.719
out of the ice sheet that has
covered the Midwest. Oh man, not

25
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.199
me, I'm relishing in it.
I got some sweet new boots from my

26
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.439
friend Egan and his lovely wife Rebecca. Man. I the thing is,

27
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.800
I have boots and I've been out
in it. But the boots then tweaked

28
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.319
my achilles tendon or something if you
want to get a specific boot bite boot

29
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:57.120
bite, boot bit back. But
my ankle has been has seen better days.

30
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.840
I blame the weather, Yeah,
I would. I feel good with

31
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.560
blaming the weather for things. But
other than that, been good. How

32
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.840
about you, man, It's been
great. It's been a It's a nice

33
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.759
busy week. I, as you
know, relish the cold weather as the

34
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.439
worse it gets, the happier I
am. And with the addition of these

35
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.479
these completely winter proof, awesome ass
boots, I couldn't be happier. That's

36
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.000
awesome. I'm a I'm a real
son of a bitch like that. I'm

37
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.759
that guy who's just smiling getting pelted
in the face with slush. Yeah.

38
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.159
Well, I would like to say
that my my wampa hat served me.

39
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.719
Well, Oh, that wampa hat
is so cool. Thing is that it's

40
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.639
got flaps, and the wind blows
up in those flaps, so I've kind

41
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.000
of had to double up on my
hat wear. Listen, hey, hey,

42
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:46.960
you ever get you ever get some
cold air and your wampa flamps?

43
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.680
Let me ask you a question.
What do you call the hats that that

44
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.039
you wear in the winter where you're
from? Oh? Just the hat?

45
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.599
Literally, just hat. I know
a lot of people don't even think about

46
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.719
it. If you were Canadian,
they're all tuks. And I know that's

47
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:08.960
a specific kind of hat, but
I think that it's just all winter hats

48
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.000
that have like earflaps. File under
tuks. What if they don't have a

49
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.199
winner earflap? What if? What
if they're just I've heard them called beanies,

50
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.120
knit caps. I where I was
raised, I call him toboggans.

51
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.399
That's ridiculous. Okay, then that's
usually the response to that. Yeah,

52
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.000
I know that toboggan is a sled
knot hat, thermal hat. I just

53
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.920
like thermals. I don't know.
I mean literally, in Colorado, it's

54
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:41.319
just a hat over here to wear
a hat's called out that in other places

55
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.720
that'll get you in so much trouble. I've heard sock hat. Yeah,

56
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.839
I've heard soccer in Chicago of sock
cap or something like that. Um.

57
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:54.519
Yeah, we call him toboggans.
And I think if it's not a Southern

58
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.879
thing in general, it must be
a central Kentucky thing, or at least

59
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:03.800
around that area, because I saw
a you say central Kentucky and I just

60
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:09.480
hear redneck. Why, I don't
know, like when you have to specify,

61
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.160
like, well, that's mostly a
Delbert County, Kentucky thing. I

62
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.519
didn't say anything about Dubert County.
Is there a Delbert County? No?

63
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:26.279
No, but between well, like
the Lexington area. And I saw a

64
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.560
video on YouTube the other day that
that somebody put up didn't say at all

65
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.279
where they were from or anything.
But they mentioned some guy having a bingles

66
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.480
jacket on which you know, chances
are you probably around the Cincinnati area or

67
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.160
bleeding down into Kentucky, or because
Kentucky doesn't have any professional sports team,

68
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.560
so they go for Cincinnati area anyway, and the guy in the video mentioned

69
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:55.000
somebody having a toboggan. Didn't but
but didn't didn't say they were from Kentucky,

70
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.360
didn't say them from Ohio, didn't
say they were from the moon.

71
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.879
You know, I did not know. That's good though, that bolsters your

72
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.720
point. That's that's that's yeah,
that's exactly what I'm trying to say.

73
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:08.680
So anyway, that's, uh,
that's great. So as you can guess,

74
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:14.800
this week we're talking about hats,
weird hats spose the show, uh

75
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.079
you know before No, we're talking
about springtime hats, Easter hats. You

76
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.959
know you see him a lot in
spring. I mean the Kentucky Derby is

77
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.839
really the official kickoff to the hat
season. And you kick with your foot

78
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.399
which has a heel on it.
Oh oh yes, I didn't think a

79
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.720
train could be steered off the tracks, but it can. Because we've got

80
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.879
spring, We've got heels. And
I'm surprised, Like I'm I'm pretty pumped

81
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.000
up. I'm jacked up about this. I'm pretty you you wad it up?

82
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.399
I guess with Jack Jack, we've
got spring, We've got heels.

83
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.680
We go, Okay, we're talking
about springheal Jack. Tonight, spring heel

84
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.720
Jack, something that I'm really excited
about. A couple of weeks ago,

85
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.240
I was able to bring the Bunyip
to David Flora. He had never heard

86
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:09.560
of the bunyip before, and he
has repaid in kind this week with spring

87
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.639
Heeled Jack. David, please let
us know what the hell's going on.

88
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.000
I will, And I would like
to point out that I came to know

89
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:25.600
Springhill Jack through Monsters in my Pocket, the classic toy of little rubber cryptids.

90
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.959
I have never heard of that before. Man. Monsters in my Pocket

91
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.879
had like just tons of neat creatures
and cryptids from from mythology and folklore.

92
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.480
Springhill Jack was one of them,
one of the common ones. Wow.

93
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:45.800
Yeah, these are colorful and fun. They're great, and they're also in

94
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.240
our logo. Oh yeah, some
of my own personal collection. I threw

95
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:54.639
in there with a wampa. That's
why these things look so familiar, so

96
00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:00.439
springheal Jack. Now he is a
Victorian England, a figure of folklore.

97
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.680
Okay, I was I almost wanted
to say crypted and it's weird. Yeah,

98
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:11.480
it's he kind of Maybe he's uncategorized. I guess he could be a

99
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.720
crypted, he could be paranormal.
It could be just myth. Yeah,

100
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.279
he's he's whatever it is. It
turned. I guess it comes down to

101
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.759
what did you what do you personally
decide that person is? Yeah, and

102
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.759
then and then that's how you have
to determine what it actually files either.

103
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.480
Right, So he's a, like
he said, a Victorian or a figure

104
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:39.519
folklore made infamous by his attacks on
people and his apparent inhuman leaping ability.

105
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.440
Yeah, that's that's where he gets
his named spring heeled. Uh. He

106
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.320
was never caught. Nope, whatever
or whoever he was never caught. It's

107
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.879
unknown whether it was a real person
or a supernatural entity, or maybe an

108
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.279
extraterrestrial or maybe just an urban legend. Yeah, maybe just there's a lot

109
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.000
of references to and maybe he just, you know, an event happened.

110
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.200
He's notable for attacking women, young
women. You know, maybe there was

111
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.759
like a group hysteria, but things
got fleshed out in the story of Springhill

112
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.519
Jack. So let's dive or maybe
walk. Maybe we'll just walk through the

113
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.200
abilities. If Springhill Jack was an
X man, which maybe he was,

114
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:26.559
Springhill Jack's mutin abilities, well,
his mutant abilities would be uh, like

115
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.240
we said, a supernatural leaping most
notably. Most notably, he could he

116
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.679
could leap over hedgerows and walls that
otherwise would either be unscalable by humans or

117
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.879
are with very great difficulty be able
to to. They would get significantly more

118
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.240
time than he took to do it
right, and probably a ladder he now.

119
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:52.720
The reports vary on his appearance,
but most say that he was tall

120
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.840
and thin. He wore skin tight
clothing, and he had red eyes and

121
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:05.879
sharp meta like claws. Apparently he
also had cold clammy hands yeah, cold

122
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.799
skin yeah, and occasionally he breathed
blue and white flames out his mouth hole.

123
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.039
He's pretty his X man go metallo
claws. He's got wolverine claws.

124
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.360
He's got maybe not like that,
but he's got metallic claws. He can

125
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.440
leap, he can shoot flame out
of his mouth. Yeah, spooky eyes.

126
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:30.360
He's kind of like a cross between
wolverine and Nightcrawler and Pyro, yeah,

127
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:37.000
and the Mothman, you know that
old X man. He also occasionally

128
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:43.240
wore a cloak or a cape.
Some some reports say. Now there are,

129
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.840
like I said, several reports of
how he was described, but some

130
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.360
of them include him looking kind of
devil like or even wearing a large helmet

131
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:58.759
with tight white oilskin clothing, they
say. Some some people and reports say

132
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.120
he had a long chin, a
long quantity chin, and he was quite

133
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.120
thin or even gaunt, and some
reports even say he was half man,

134
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.399
half back, complete with wings and
horns and a tall three quarterlin boots.

135
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.480
So I you know, my first
reading over this, when I first tried

136
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.799
to read it, I was thinking
England's moth Man, straight up, the

137
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.440
red flaming eyes. You know.
The people would approach him thinking he was

138
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.639
just just a dude, just a
gentleman out for a stroll. But that

139
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.840
quickly failed because this guy does not
fit the moth Man. MMO, no,

140
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.600
that would be the Mothman massively multiplayer
as I just went, mmm,

141
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:48.080
but uh, the mom this guy
is springhill jack, pretty focused. Things

142
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.399
he likes to do scare women,
yea, And those are the good cases

143
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.600
and the good cases, he'll shoot
some flames out of his mouth and really

144
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.240
just scare the hell out of somebody, then run down the street giggling.

145
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:03.080
Yeah. Yeah, more off and
then not The objective is the chest.

146
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.759
He is a blouse ripper yep.
Uh. At least two of the accounts

147
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.039
that I read, he attacks a
woman attempting to rip her clothes off.

148
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.159
Yeah. He's pretty touchy feeling.
Yeah, he's uh. And that's and

149
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.080
that's why we get so many details
about the the clawed hands, the metallic

150
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.799
hands, and there are you know, there were there were marks left on

151
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.039
the women. They were cut and
but these these brief sudden violent attacks and

152
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.759
then he just takes off, ye, disappears into the night. One of

153
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:39.679
my favorite uh aspects to him is
that he was real big into slapping the

154
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.559
hill out of authority figures. Yeah. Yeah, he was a slapper.

155
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.799
Slapper. He would attack women and
tear at their clothes and he would come

156
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.759
up and just slap the ship out
of safe, take off, laughing.

157
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.919
It makes him kind of endearing.
Well, I mean, if it weren't

158
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:07.600
for the sexual assaults. Yeah,
let's go through the sightings, yeah please.

159
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:13.720
Sightings might date back as far as
an eighteen o eight ghost sighting of

160
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:22.120
a similar type of entity, something
that comes and either attacks women or has

161
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.919
this inhuman leaping ability. Yeah,
but officially really in eighteen thirty seven,

162
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.559
he attacked some women around London.
It wasn't in London proper, it was

163
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.600
kind of the villages around London.
But one of them was Polly Adams,

164
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.120
who was a farmer's daughter. He's
more of a suburban menace, so yeah,

165
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:48.279
exactly. Then another woman was Mary
Stevens, which didn't have an occupation

166
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.360
that I could find, so who
cares homemaker? And both of those he

167
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.440
leaps up them from a dark alley
as they're they're walking home late at night,

168
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.440
and he rips up their clothes and
he tries to give him mooches,

169
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:05.039
and then he's scratching at him and
then leaps away cackling. And then either

170
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.600
the next day or soon thereafter,
he jumps in front of a passing carriage

171
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:15.840
and he causes the coachman to lose
control and crash, which severely injured the

172
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.399
coachman. But again he just he
leaps away cackling like you know, it's

173
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.600
it's all good fun for him,
and it seemed to be that was another

174
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.600
one of his patterns. And I
don't know if this figures into it being

175
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:33.240
a hysterical thing or or multiple people
trying to pull a similar maneuver. But

176
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:41.000
there's almost three different approaches of springhill
jack stories. There is the springhill jack

177
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:46.080
that likes to scare young women and
attack them. There's the springhill jack that

178
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.559
likes to run up and slap people
and run away. And then there's authority

179
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:56.000
figures. And then there's the coach
crasher. Yeah, because he there's that

180
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.240
wasn't an isolated thing. This this
this concept of him jumping in in front

181
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.799
of a coach, causing it to
crash, and then running away. Yeah,

182
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.080
it's interesting. He seems to have
three very separate ms and about how

183
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.600
he wants to yeah, and nothing
nothing really deviating from that from those three

184
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.159
types of quote unquote attacks and all
three of the all three of those things

185
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.399
that mentioned that his means of escape
is this amazing leaping ability he just which

186
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:28.039
made him nigh impossible to chase after. Right, So with him scaling hedgerows

187
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:33.559
and bounding over walls and things,
you know, people couldn't couldn't catch up

188
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.159
to him, which is how he
remained a mystery. In eighteen thirty eight,

189
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.799
Sir John Cowan, who was the
Lord Mayor of London, was brought

190
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:50.120
a case of spring kale jack.
He was skeptical of the reports and he

191
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.000
thought it was all just total exaggeration, right, you know. He thought,

192
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.799
maybe it is one isolated incident that
people just blew out of proportion,

193
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.279
or maybe the newspapers or something got
a eleven. You know, he probably

194
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:08.000
said that it was hogwash or perhaps
poppy cock true because we're not yet at

195
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:15.360
the point where horse Feathers was there
exactly. But the funny thing is he

196
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.240
had quite a few reports of similar
attacks like this, so it wasn't just

197
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.759
the one that he was that was
brought to him. He even had a

198
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:27.879
letter that had been given to him
that spoke of a wager that happened between

199
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:34.120
some aristocrats that said one of them
was bet that he couldn't visit London villages

200
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.919
as a ghost, a bear,
and a devil dressed up. I guess

201
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:44.000
in that guise, and I know
that this is something we've mentioned before,

202
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:48.320
But for the love of God,
is there anything with the exception of American

203
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:56.080
children in the early twentieth century more
dangerous than board British rich kids. If

204
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.799
they're not making secret societies, they're
making ridiculous bets. They're making everyone's life

205
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:07.920
a nightmare. Board daft wager man. It always comes back to these board

206
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:14.720
rich British kids. Yeah, so
there was there was that sort of compelling

207
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.200
evidence that the Lord Mayor had to
deal with um. A month after that,

208
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:26.240
a girl named Jane Alsop heard a
knock at her door and oh,

209
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.200
oh, oh my, someone's at
the door. Where's the butlers? Oh,

210
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.519
we're not rich enough for the butler. Jane Alsop stop asking about a

211
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:38.599
butler and blinds of a bloody duel. Yes, mother, yes, mother.

212
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:48.440
So she opens the door. Go
with it, dude, just go

213
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.160
with it. She ohs the door. It's a man who's standing out by

214
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.400
the front gate. Right. Oh, yeah, this is elaborate. What's

215
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:02.480
important is that the butler didn't answer
it. She opens the door. There

216
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.279
was a voice out there saying,
all right, for the Loma God,

217
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.960
bring us a light. We've cut
spring eild jack out in the alley too,

218
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.440
right, so right, give us
a light then, come on love.

219
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:26.640
That's a good God. So whn't
you have your butler go grab us

220
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:33.319
a lantern or a candle, and
that's when she started crying, that man

221
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:38.200
not asking about them. But we're
not rich enough for a butler. I'm

222
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:47.160
sorry, sir, I'm a terrible
enemy. That's all right, I'll get

223
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:57.400
a taste of those crumpets, meself. It's Joel Nutton, but Clever Ruse

224
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:10.920
forget get as long as he gets
me tasty. Spring heel Jackie some of

225
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:19.319
a bitch. Sorry, what it
really was? So okay? So now

226
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.960
that we're done with masterpiece theater,
someone approaches the door. All right.

227
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.839
They say they need a light because
they have captured springheel Jack, to which

228
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:33.279
Miss all Sup says, here's your
here's the torch and opens the door,

229
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.599
and it's actually springheal Jack himself,
who spits flames in her eyes, blue

230
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.519
and white flames, tears at her
clothes and her face, and then he

231
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.079
leaps away. Don't feel bad,
Love, it was Ola, Clever Ruse.

232
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:51.759
You're not a first one that has
happened to you, now that I

233
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.920
mean, even though we just so
clearly said, well it's good, just

234
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.480
a few h ms, that's new. That's pretty a laugh. I'm into

235
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:02.200
your house, I mean that.
Yeah, that's a guy who is chosen

236
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:04.119
his target at that point. Yeah, I think, or I mean,

237
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.160
it could have been random. She
could have just had been the leg of

238
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.319
the drawer there, but it is. Yeah, you're right. It's definitely

239
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.640
different from what he's been doing where
it's just grabbing girls out of alleys.

240
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.519
I was just passing through. Figured
ought to have more self a bit of

241
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:23.759
a squeeze, right, Johnny Plan, I'm just terrible at this. He

242
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.720
a week after he leaps from an
alley. So he goes back to that

243
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:33.200
thing, leaps from an alley at
a girl named Lucy Scales, and he

244
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.640
breathes that was her nickname because of
how she looked. Wow, nice,

245
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:44.640
great, Well maybe she's a precursor
to Illuminati yep, reptilian. So he

246
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.279
breathes fire at her and with her. She just it's scared her so bad

247
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.240
that she just dropped to the ground
and started having fits and seizures, right,

248
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.839
and and so he just sort of
like left. He didn't even try

249
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.240
scratching at her. He just he
just, you know, mission accomplished.

250
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.039
Yep. Back in the shadows he
goes. So from then on, the

251
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:12.400
sightings were mostly sporadic and uh,
pretty widespread over England, the worst apparently

252
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:18.920
being an eighteen forty five murder of
a thirteen year old prostitute by the name

253
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:23.960
of Maria Davis. Wow, that's
rough, Yeah, thirteen year old prostitute.

254
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.839
It's rough on mini levels. Boy, I mean it was blamed on

255
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:33.839
him that he just came out in
broad daylight and tossed her off a bridge.

256
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:38.359
That sounds like pimp behavior. It
if it sounds like anything, it

257
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:42.920
sounds like not what he has been
doing or known for. Yeah, So

258
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.039
that one to me was kind of
like because he hasn't killed anybody up to

259
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.599
this point, he's just been kind
of a righteous ass, you know.

260
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.440
Yeah, that doesn't seem to fit
anything that he's that he does or is

261
00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:00.319
interested and most importantly in broad daylight. Right, That's that's that was weird,

262
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.039
But that's that's out. There is
a thing that's attributed to him,

263
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:08.480
huh. In the eighteen seventies,
he was reported in many different places,

264
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:18.000
mostly mostly going around slapping soldiers and
authority figures and just cackling. Like he

265
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:23.279
was reported going around soldiers century boxes
and things like that, like jumping on

266
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.440
them or coming up to him out
of the dark. And slapping him and

267
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:33.079
running off, which is pretty ballsy. Yeah, they do have guns.

268
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:38.319
There's one report in eighteen thirty seven
in a place called alder Shot where they

269
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.880
had a barracks. One of the
soldiers said a figure came out of the

270
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:52.680
darkness and he issued several slaps to
the soldier's face and uh, and then

271
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:57.480
he was spotted and chased in Lincolnshire
but never never actually caught. A lot

272
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.799
of people set traps for him,
which he cackled and avoided, and some

273
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:07.319
people reported shooting him almost point blank
and the shot having no effect on him

274
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.680
and him just leaping away. Now
that that could be conjecture or you know,

275
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:19.720
exaggeration. Yeah, but the last
reported sightings were in Liverpool between eighteen

276
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:26.279
eighty eight and nineteen o four,
But there were a couple of more sort

277
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.359
of sightings or or people sort of
you know, later came forward and said,

278
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:37.000
like in nineteen eighty six there was
a British Army officer who was apparently

279
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:44.400
bicycling through Herefordshire and the Beatles lyrics
and when somebody somebody came out of the

280
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:48.319
corner of his eye, leapt onto
the road, slapped the ship out of

281
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:56.960
him. And then leapt away.
I just I love that is a attack

282
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:03.400
is just to slap the hell out
of some he sound It's it's almost like

283
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.079
some kind of weird practical joke.
It's it's like a it's like a Dave

284
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:14.440
Chappelle, you know, super villain
sketch. Yeah, the night slap.

285
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:22.880
There were now some reports that he
was cited in the US. He was

286
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:30.799
reported accosting women in Louisville, Kentucky
in eighteen eighty and uh, you're saying

287
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.440
nineteen eighty. I was like,
that's Rick James, bitch. The weird

288
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:37.680
thing with this, with these reports
is that he had a blue light that

289
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.240
was coming out of his chest from
what I from what I read and made

290
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:48.119
it sound kind of like iron Man
Stark, but instead of breathing this blue

291
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:51.599
and white flame, it was coming
out of his chest for that. In

292
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:56.599
nineteen thirty eight through nineteen forty five, he was reported several times in Cape

293
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:03.079
Cod, Massachusetts, and Provincetown.
A lot of people apparently saw him and

294
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.839
his leaping and slapping and accosting.
He was leap slapping vacationers, I guess,

295
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:22.640
or maybe just the lobster fishermen.
Nice finchowder cut Jack Jack Wick It

296
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:30.440
awesome. I'm gonna leap on with
those hatches in your yard and your kids

297
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:41.559
snap me no total hill jack whole
Uh. In nineteen fifty three, he

298
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:47.000
was seen in Houston, Texas shooting
pistols into the air celebrating his oil billions.

299
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.480
And that one was funny because it's
like a lot of a lot of

300
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:56.400
people that are under the extraterrestrial reference
for him. They like this story because

301
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:02.680
he leaped into a pecan tree and
then kind of disappears, and then like

302
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:08.200
moments later people see this this metallic
cigar shaped object fly away. Yeah,

303
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:12.400
so people people are like, yeah, are extra anyway? Yeah, and

304
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.359
we'll get to that. I mean, as we as we alluded to early

305
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:21.200
on, there is such a weird
list of potential everyone's got a theory.

306
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.759
Yeah, it's going to be a
hell of a list. So yeah,

307
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:26.960
well let's let's get into some of
the explanations. Yeah, let's just do

308
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:32.200
that list. Then why tease it? But this guy should be or could

309
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.839
be. Now we'll start out with
the prime suspect. Yeah, we have

310
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.839
we actually have a dude, a
dude. We can pin this on to

311
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:45.160
a degree and as always, there's
two things that are at the root of

312
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:56.680
every single problem with cryptids, Sandhill
cranes and the Irish. Our primary suspect

313
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:02.839
is Henry Beresford, the third Marquest
of Waterford, who was an Irish nobleman

314
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.559
born in eighteen eleven. I love
this guy. Yeah, you know,

315
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:14.440
like there was a bunch of Irish
noblemen who are sitting in a pub explaining

316
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:18.240
to someone else that say in the
gist of this conversation was yeah, but

317
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:25.920
he's our athole boy so much.
Hey. He can be a bit of

318
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:30.680
a handful of fun time to time, but here's our ours whole hey man's

319
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:40.680
well, bless his heart. His
mother was a hand his father worked in

320
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.000
Liverpool. He pulled on the ships
on the dock. Shut your dirty moat

321
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.599
all right? The Marquess also known
as the Mad Marquis. Yeah are we

322
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:56.240
saying that right? Isn't Marquess Marquis
Mark? I think it's Marquest because he's

323
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.480
not French, he's Irish. We
will never make that miss take uh.

324
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:08.680
Yeah, this guy was well known
for his bodiness. Oh god, everything

325
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:14.519
in my life. So that someday, dude, Jack Wads will wikipedia me

326
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:23.160
and it'll say, known for his
bodiness. That's that's one of my tombstone

327
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:30.519
yed of bodiness. He was frequently
drunk. Uh, he was always fighting.

328
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.680
He would vandalize things, always joking
around, and he'd do anything for

329
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:41.720
a bets about boxes of cereal.
There's a lucky Charms joke there. Oh,

330
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.400
I get it. This guy is
not an irishman. He is the

331
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:52.680
Irishman. Yeah. Here's here's a
here's a fun fact about this guy that

332
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.039
I that I saw, like,
like, we're not having fun yet,

333
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.680
strap in. He may have been
the first to paint the town red.

334
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:07.200
That for like literally literally now this
this is where some people think that saying

335
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.640
comes from. After a successful fox
hunt, he came back into town with

336
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:18.720
with his boils and phoned some tens
of red paint and he proceeded to just

337
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.519
splotch it on every building that he
came That was a fine fox hunt.

338
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.480
What did you think, Lee?
Oh? What have we here? Here's

339
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:40.200
a few pots of red paint.
He got me an idea splash, splash,

340
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.519
It's like a time machine. That's
how good we are. No welcome

341
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:48.559
everybody. When you put those headphones
on, you might as well be wow.

342
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:55.359
Um, so yeah, that's apparently
where where that saying comes from.

343
00:29:55.400 --> 00:30:00.839
That's awesome. Paint the town red
because of this jag now boy. Yeah

344
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:06.400
okay, so so we know he
likes drinking. Hey, likes drinking.

345
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:12.720
He likes painting things, putting foxes. Now, it's been suggested that he

346
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:19.440
had a humiliating experience with a woman
and or a police officer at some point.

347
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:26.720
I repeat, not an Irishman,
the irishman. This is the gold

348
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:40.200
standard of stereotypes. Why isn't there
a holiday to this guy? Here's another

349
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:45.480
thing. He may have had friends
who were experts in applied mechanics. No,

350
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:49.920
which means he might have had them
to design spring healed boots for him.

351
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.960
No, then's were the kind of
nerds we picked on. Oh you

352
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.759
like your bookie hooks there, do
you? Oh you've got her an eclectic

353
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:06.200
group of friends or like collecting them? This is me friend who likes Dan

354
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:11.160
Dan. So he's got he's got
super engineer friends who are all like,

355
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:17.880
hey, you know that drunk guy
who likes making problems everywhere. Let's give

356
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:22.599
him the ability to leap away from
the authorities. Okay, you know what,

357
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:23.559
Actually, when I say it all
out. It kind of does track.

358
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.519
That kind of does make sense.
He may have also practiced fire spitting

359
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:32.079
because at this point, why the
not right, which is really because somebody

360
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:37.119
just told a fart joke right when
he was lighting his cigar. That's the

361
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.599
kind of the humor. I think
he would have invested a lot of his

362
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.880
time. If he was alive,
he'd be a great fan of ours,

363
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.279
except for the fact who had just
spent the last ten minutes laughing at him

364
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:52.279
outright but doing a spot on impersonation. Now, there was this one encounter

365
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:57.200
with spring Hill Jack where there was
a servant that claimed to have spotted an

366
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:06.279
embroidered W on Springhill Jack's cloak as
he bounced away. The W of Waterford

367
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:09.319
could be gold. Now does this
guy in charge of crystal production? I

368
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:13.920
think that is Waterford crystal Let's what
do you think? Yeah, I think

369
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:17.160
it is by all accounts. When
he married, and he did marry,

370
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:22.880
at some point he settled down and
became a quite a quite a nice old

371
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.519
fellow. He just he was just
like, didn't bother anybody. He put

372
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:30.960
that leaf behind me nor more.
I don't even know what accident I'm doing

373
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:36.480
there it'll go in Lord of the
Rings regardless. Perfect, Yeah, exactly,

374
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.400
I'd fit in more door just fine. Died of a horse riding accident.

375
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:51.160
Was that a horse riding or a
whose riding? Um? He did?

376
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.559
He died in eighteen fifty nine.
Okay, But the Springhill Jack's sidings

377
00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.960
continued after that, well after that, which leads some people to say,

378
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:06.279
well, were there multiple Springhill Jacks
or were there a bunch of copycats?

379
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.759
Maybe the Marquests went out a couple
of times and grabbed some boobies and honked

380
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:14.319
some noses. But I'm glad that
you put out the boobies thing, because

381
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:19.480
can you call it a copycat if
like more than one guy jumped out of

382
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:24.319
an alley and grabbed the girls boobs
like like Saturday, this is my homage

383
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:30.839
to the perfect cream Like that's just
o. Of course, I try to

384
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:36.319
ask myself. I would like to
imagine a lot of drunk irishman thinking them

385
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:40.480
to selves to be Springhill Jack and
just getting caught instantly. Yeah, you've

386
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:49.039
never catched dog. I've one up
to spring Hill Jack. I've touched doin

387
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:58.519
a w grabbed them boobies and then
float away. Damn sweet titties are Maine.

388
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:05.079
For the record, it's never it's
never okay to jump out of an

389
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.679
alley and grab at a woman's chest. True true story, even today,

390
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:16.079
especially even today. I know what
you're thinking. Well, surely by now

391
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:20.440
we've reached a point where that's okay. I'm afraid we're not there yet.

392
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:23.280
Sorry, guys, keep keep keep
it locked down, un lockdown. Come

393
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.920
on. Yeah, a lot of
these guys, if they're copycats, they

394
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.159
get drunk, they go out,
they hide in an alley, and then

395
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:35.519
they fall smack on their gulbs.
Oh my, gotta test to those black

396
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:44.880
and clapped in irons. Now,
some German paratroopers apparently experimented with spring healed

397
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:49.480
boots springs in their in their boots
during World War Two. You know,

398
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.440
I'm sure, I'm sure that the
springs in their boots were exactly the thing

399
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.119
they needed to ensure victory. How
did that turn out for those guys?

400
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:01.039
It actually resulted in quite a few
broken ankles. Didn't didn't work out for

401
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:07.199
them too well, So, um, springs and boots not not such a

402
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:09.679
great idea? No, no,
no, well, I mean they're paratroopers,

403
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.519
so I mean they were using them
kind of in reverse. I would

404
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:16.280
think if you're going to do that, then you'd probably use them to absorb

405
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:20.639
some shock of landing. Right.
I think that was the plan. But

406
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:24.239
maybe they trusted them too much and
locked their knees like idiots. I don't

407
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:29.719
know they could lear could laurna tang
or two from the Oi roage. Oh

408
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:35.599
you couldn't touched, didn't did you? I didn't learn anything from me.

409
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:45.320
We'll never stop doing this. This
podcast is over Cogney Irish. We haven't

410
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:47.199
done a voice for the German paratroopers. I guess, I guess we'll let

411
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.679
you pass on that. I'll say. I'll say this. I apologize for

412
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:58.119
the amount of booby references. Oh
I don't apologize. I apologize for the

413
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:05.199
slaughtering of elect It took us twenty
episodes to get here. Finally, Erotic

414
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:13.880
Mysteries we pulled back around to the
Palladians for another episode. I have to

415
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:19.079
feel I feel like the Marquess had
had a game plan drawn up where one

416
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:30.280
springs in your boots, Yeah,
two O three boobies something something boobies equals

417
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:34.480
profits and that. Yeah. I
also looked up methanol, which is a

418
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:38.559
wood alcohol it's simplest alcohol and methanol
apparently can burn with a blue flame.

419
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:44.440
Yeah, you know spring Hill Jack, famous for shooting shooting white blue flames

420
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:49.239
out of his out of space.
It was developed purely by sixteen sixty one,

421
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:52.239
was really nailed down in the eighteen
hundreds, so it could have been

422
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:58.440
used by by whoever. Whoever spring
Hill Jack was as a burning mechanism.

423
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:00.039
You know. You know what else
I was thinking thing about this when I

424
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.800
was reading these. What occurred to
me is like a possible here's a hypothsis

425
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:09.480
flash powder, right, yea,
you know, the photography existed, it

426
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:13.679
was in its early stages when you
use these trays of flash powder. Hold

427
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:20.519
real still now exactly ten minutes later. Yeah. Um, but if you

428
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:22.639
if you were to ignite some of
this and the palm of your hand just

429
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:27.480
you know, set it off,
it would blind a person right in front

430
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.480
of you. It's it burns obviously
white, maybe blue with the smoke.

431
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:35.599
I don't know, but but that's
just to my mind a little little conjecture

432
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:37.960
there. Yeah, why not?
I mean, I don't do you know

433
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.360
anything about the dates of when they
worked on that or when that was I

434
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.239
mean, obviously we said photography was
coming in into quite into vogue then.

435
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:50.960
But that's that's why I made sure
to say conjecture. It means conjecture is

436
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:53.880
confused me because you didn't say fun
fact. Yeah see, I should have.

437
00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:59.320
Conjecture is a Latin word meaning I'm
not gonna look this up. I'm

438
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.480
just gonna say it for the sake
of my own comfort and ease. Yeah

439
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:07.760
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, why not? Like, uh,

440
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.280
I mean, you could pin the
stuff that he did on, you

441
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:16.679
know, any number of explanations and
things like that, or you could go

442
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:21.159
straight for the pinning the tail on
the donkey. Oh yeah, let's let's

443
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.760
lose our damn minds now, because
here's the thing that is fun about this

444
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.760
when you boil it down spring,
heel Jack is just a booby grabber,

445
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:34.360
but he did it with a crazy
amount of panache, with just enough mystery

446
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:37.960
to make him kind of a piece
of folklore. Yeah, and so let's

447
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:43.480
focus on the folklore. Let's let's
focus on the weird, and let's let's

448
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:47.840
stop thinking that a human being could
possibly come up with the wherewithal to stun

449
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:54.519
another person and touch their boobs.
This could only be from another realm.

450
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:59.519
Yeah, it could be just an
exaggeration of folk tales. It could be

451
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:04.880
the boogieman that parents used to to
scare. You know, if you spelled

452
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:14.599
boogie with a bee replacing the G, why did it take me? It

453
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.199
didn't. That's what I like about
it. Uh, could be could be

454
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:22.760
a ghost. Now. I listened
to a really interesting interview. Uh when

455
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.119
when I was researching this, I
found a YouTube video that was really just

456
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:30.079
a long audio file of of an
interview um with a guy and they covered

457
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:35.119
a range of topics, I mean
things from Nasca lines and all kinds of

458
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.920
things, but he talked about Springhill
Jack for a while, and the overarching

459
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:44.119
subject was aliens, and he really
latched onto spring Hill Jack as a great

460
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:47.840
example of a potential stranded alien.
Yeah, that's the that's the next thing

461
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:52.360
through the through the looking glass here
that perhaps that these you know, it

462
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:59.280
was a frightened alien, not necessarily
boob obsessed, but you you get those

463
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:02.199
those the the thing that we haven't
really everyone talks about the heels. The

464
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:07.239
jumping ability in an alien that comes
from a high gravity world would easily be

465
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:12.360
able to leap to far more than
what we'd expect but the hands, the

466
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:17.239
claws, they're always described as being
metallic or a metallic substance. And even

467
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:22.280
in you know, some of the
pictures people do illustrations, it's always a

468
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:27.920
leather glove with some kind of metal
and yeah, exactly, but granted they

469
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:35.000
were they're blinded by blue white fire
there, don't you dare Manford man this

470
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:47.000
podcast. Shame in myself for knowing
that top black annoid rish do. The

471
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:50.840
other thing is that and these women, you don't, like, we're so

472
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.800
scared. In some cases they have
fits, you know, they really terrified.

473
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:59.079
Yeah, the one, the one
was incapacitated with fits, so it

474
00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:05.000
was just like, all right,
you're like really high. But the weird

475
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.320
consistency is that the people always say
metallic, like like there's no, oh,

476
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:13.079
he was wearing a glove with claws
on it. There's there's no it's

477
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:16.559
it's always this somewhat vague and I
think that kind of opens the door to

478
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:22.559
a possible not human thing, that
there's this consistent lack of specificity on the

479
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.239
hands, on the claws themselves.
Yeah, and you know high, you

480
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.760
know, a very dense creature,
high gravity world, Yeah, phosphorus breath

481
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:36.079
maybe, yeah, phosphorus breath.
That's brilliant. Infrared eyes. You know,

482
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.400
maybe they see you in a different
spectrum or something. Rate our ears.

483
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:42.800
All right, all right, all
right, we're trying to have a

484
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:52.039
serious conversation. It smells with lasers. Radar ears. Get out laser old

485
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:57.360
factory senses. No, no,
I did you ever see the John Carter

486
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.639
the movie? I did. I
watched it with my family. Oh four

487
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:05.440
hours. I'll never get back.
I keep thinking of him, like you

488
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:07.360
know how he is on Mars.
He's able to leap, you know,

489
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.960
just huge distances or like the stupid
ass Hulk in those movies, in the

490
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:17.679
in any of the Hulk movies,
he the Hulk is not a stupid ass.

491
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:22.719
The Hulk is awesome. Has he
been mistreated in many movie representations?

492
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:28.000
Yes, but the Hulk is awesome. Sorry, dude, I'm not I'm

493
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.559
not a Hulk fan, even in
the Avengers cartoon series that's out. Now,

494
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:35.760
what about the Hulk in the Avengers? The Ruffalo Hulk was awesome,

495
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:39.239
the best Hulk that there's been,
hands down. But I'm that doesn't make

496
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:44.119
me like the Hulk. Oh,
my superpower is to just get angry and

497
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:51.119
smash. Yeah, it's brilliant because
it's so simple. Yeah yeah, you

498
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:54.199
don't do anything I don't like or
I destroy everything. Well yeah, and

499
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:58.519
I'm indestructible. Kids. Kids should
know that the more angry they get,

500
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:02.039
the more indestructible they are. He's
a toddler, that I take it,

501
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:07.920
gil oh Man, all right,
stupid ass hulk. Anyway, these are

502
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:13.679
examples of of you know, people
defying the gravity. Yeah, jumping,

503
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:16.920
you know big jump is god,
this is this is dumb. Just forget

504
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:22.639
the last two minutes, everybody.
I'm gonna remember. Here's here's a no

505
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:34.559
slubliminal messages. Here's a the so, here's the uh, here's the end

506
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.960
of the rainbow. The pot of
gold that we get with with Springhill Jack.

507
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:45.679
Remember the Irish guy. We're bringing
it back. Springhill Jack could be

508
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:51.840
a tulpa. What could be could
be created by a cultist simply to cause

509
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:54.840
mischief out of out of Tibetans,
make it to Ireland. I mean it's

510
00:43:54.880 --> 00:44:00.000
it's people that that practice the The
occult could be just you know, brainpower

511
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:05.519
thinking, thinking something like this into
existence. The Irish are people not known

512
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:08.840
for their focus. Oh maybe it's
not. The Irish student I mean,

513
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:14.960
Tulpa's can be created by anybody who
has the focus and determination. All right,

514
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:16.360
all right, I'm just saying.
I mean, hell, I think

515
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:22.599
they They even say if you keep
picturing the same scenario over and over and

516
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:24.960
worry about it and fret and stuff, that it could happen. Like if

517
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:29.960
you picture yourself getting mugged every day
when you go home. I picture myself

518
00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:32.400
getting mugged by a guy, but
he's giving the hundreds of dollars. You

519
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:38.280
take this money. Money. I
picture myself getting mugged by beautiful women every

520
00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:43.440
night. They just punch you and
take your wallet. Whatever works, man,

521
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:49.280
whatever works. What's important is it
they're beautiful? Okay, So I

522
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:53.800
haven't thought this tulpa. Tulpa.
That's that. That is shocking. I

523
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:58.960
am amazed that the tulp showed up
at this point. That's that's that's your

524
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:02.800
pot of goal here. Wow,
now here's something interesting. Springhill Jack fits

525
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:14.880
into a very specific subset of unknown
entities. None has phantom attackers thundersound,

526
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:21.440
which we have not done for a
little while. I'm tried it back true,

527
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:28.039
Sorry everybody, Yeah, phantom attackers
also in this weirdly specific little niche,

528
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:32.079
the mad gasser of Mattoon. Oh
yeah, who known here in our

529
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:36.360
our native state of Illinois, not
native in that we were born here,

530
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.239
but it's where our male shows up. You know, there's this weird these

531
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:44.960
phantom attackers, these unknown entities or
people who just show up, whoop some

532
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:51.280
ass and just disappear. Yeah,
nobody knows whence they came, why who

533
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:54.960
they were. Yeah, this is
it's it's kind of getting into spring Hill.

534
00:45:55.039 --> 00:46:00.199
Jack to me is almost in the
same boat as the Ripper. I

535
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:04.800
was just thinking that, like it's
getting into that kind of weird. I

536
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:08.639
mean the arc from back alley booby
grabber to cutting, you know, to

537
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:15.159
sending Scotland yard pieces of a prostitute's
liver. True, there's definitely a bridge

538
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:17.119
to cross there, right, and
it's a huge bridge, and it's called

539
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:22.199
being insane? Is what that bridge
is called? I don't know. God

540
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:29.800
no, maybe dozoles at it coming
Their ghosts will haunt you. Yeah,

541
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:35.360
I mean, maybe it's not up. I started a bit of fun,

542
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:42.159
had me some boots made, grabbing
me some boobies there. I wish what

543
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.760
is a great Cockney word for boobs? Um? Send us emails please?

544
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:50.480
Yeah, what are some I'm gonna
go. I'm gonna go with rubber tubes.

545
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:53.559
Rubbers. It's a rhyming thing,
right, I was grabbing me a

546
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:58.079
little bit of a rubber tubes there. I gotta say, it sounds like

547
00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:05.880
you're talking about dogs. M h. I had me. I had me

548
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:10.159
a bit of that Tony shaloob there, stuck it right in from meloaf of

549
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:20.559
bread. Whoa, I get the
Cockney rhymey slang. Please, I am

550
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:23.760
I've never done this. I'm calling
out an individual because we happen to have

551
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:29.159
a good friend who is an expert
at this era language. Oh, mel

552
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:37.239
Evans, what word did Jane Austen
use for boobs? Help us? So?

553
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:42.760
Wait, no, wait, I
would like to point out that Jane

554
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:46.320
Austen word for boob and Cockney word
for boob. All right, but I'm

555
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:50.840
saying in an era all right?
All right? Yeah? So mel Evans,

556
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.000
you're I don't think they discussed it. You can't discuss that sort of

557
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:57.880
stuff. Oh my, what would
the VICA say? So? Yeah?

558
00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:04.760
Okay, So if spring Hill Jack
trouncing through downtown Abbey, which he had

559
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:09.159
attacks in that exact same time frames, what do we do with that who

560
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:15.000
does he attack Mary? Mary?
Does he attack Todd? Who? Who

563
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:30.159
Then there's the redhead once Miranda,

564
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:36.400

faced mcbuy's a lot. Yeah that's now.

565
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.880
Wait wait, I'm gonna stop right
now and apologize for that. So

566
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:44.719
I'm sorry to take a dump on
your sexes in cities and your downtons and

567
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:49.079
abbey's. Yeah, the point being, The point being, for a long

568
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:52.000
time I thought it was downtown Abbey. If people were just saying it like

569
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:55.840
they said it in the show,
I was like, oh, downtown Abbey,

570
00:48:55.840 --> 00:48:58.519
you know, the one that's in
the middle of the town. It's

571
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:04.079
a church, be what would the
vicar say? You know what? That's

572
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:12.480
what we need to ask ourselves.
I'm getting some rubber bracelets made wa wa

573
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:20.280
vs what? I don't know why
I have a time I caught the accent

574
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:25.639
means do this though I don't.
I can't be to describe what you're did

575
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:30.159
you just cast a spell on me
with It's kind of like I'm I'm moving

576
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:34.639
them around a crystal ball. But
they're also like seizing up with with muscle

577
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.880
specim. Yeah, it's like your
hands have rickets. Just your hands means

578
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:45.239
are all hanks and tickets, which
is also Cockney slang for rickets. So

579
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:50.639
you brought it around. So Springhill
Jack, Hey, you've you've never heard

580
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:52.079
of them, don't pretend you have. And if you have high five,

581
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.760
and if and if you have high
five, and you now know more,

582
00:49:55.840 --> 00:50:00.760
hopefully than you haven't won in two
you heard more. You will say that

583
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:02.880
you heard about it a lot.
Yeah, I don't know about knowledge.

584
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:07.880
You heard about it. You heard
a lot of dialects. But this is

585
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:09.320
perfect. This is exactly what we've
loved to talk about. This is a

586
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:14.320
weird fun corner. And thank you, David Flora for bringing it to my

587
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:17.440
attention. You you're welcome, And
for everyone else, that's Springhill Jack in

590
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:32.639
kick this thing off, Flora,
I want you to have the first crack

591
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:38.239
at rhyming the name Springhill Jack,
because that's always that's what we've got.

592
00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:45.519
I've got an armor store that's open
once a year. It's called the Springshield

593
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:50.800
Shack. Oh I get it because
it's in the springtime and yeah for summer,

594
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:54.320
for summer campaigning. Okay, all
right, I've got I'm ready to

595
00:50:54.440 --> 00:51:00.719
join this pun war. Oh um. So in the aftermath of these terrible

596
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:05.360
attacks, that the plucky people of
the English countryside decided to try to put

597
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:07.800
a good spin on it. So
they started an annual race, a steeple

598
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:15.119
chase of sorts, where individuals would
have to run around a track with obstacles

599
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:20.480
and they would have to alternate between
slapping people of authority. They'd get some

600
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:23.880
British officers there. They had to
slap the officers and grab the breasts of

601
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:27.360
women who were also lined up in
the track. And the place they would

602
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:32.599
always hold this was called the Springfield
track. Would have it in the springtime.

603
00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:38.039
Why is this not an Olympic sport? I agree totally, And I'd

604
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:43.480
also like to apologize because you see, sometimes you do a podcast, you

605
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:46.760
research it, but no matter how
hard you try, you're really just lashed

606
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:52.599
tied to the mast of one boat, and it's just one phrase, and

607
00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:55.280
that's the one thing you have to
work with. So I'm really really sorry.

608
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.639
I'm really sorry that this isn't an
Olympic sport, because if it were,

609
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:05.760
you'd be doing a podcast with a
gold medalist where yeah, that's right,

610
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:07.840
that's right, we're that good.
Well, well, let's let's see

611
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:12.119
what happens in the next round where
the scores can really change. Mister Flora,

612
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:15.960
okay, double or nothing. Here, I have a pouch store,

613
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:21.440
a place where you can buy pouches
of different sorts called the string sealed sack,

614
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:29.280
and sir, you win. Now
I've got some terrible news. I

615
00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:31.000
was trying to be competitive. I
knew I was up against it, and

616
00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:35.719
I'd like to announce that I'd been
doping throughout this entire pun Olympics, and

617
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:39.360
I am out. I leave competition, and so I can no longer use

618
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:45.519
that phrase legally, So instead I
provide you with the following. What a

619
00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:51.719
dumb metaphor? I gave you a
headline from the Waterford Courier newspaper in the

620
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:59.639
year eighteen forty six, A lot
of public distrust of the local randy irishman.

621
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:06.840
That's redundant, and uh so the
the headline of the Waterford Courier read

622
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:16.880
confess marquess and and this mess something
something Booby's dress. I fought for that

623
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:20.760
too. I fought that one.
That was not easy to come up with.

624
00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:24.440
Well, I salute you, said, I salute you for limping to

625
00:53:24.559 --> 00:53:28.639
the finish fine as it were.
And I just I just want to say,

626
00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:31.639
what if? What if there was
a doping scandal with the the old

627
00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:36.159
Boobin slam event? Oh man?
Yeah, what if? What if?

628
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:39.440
Groping? Slap? What? What? What is it called? Well,

629
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:44.679
it's actually the root of the uh
the British phrase, the old slap and

630
00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:57.840
tickle ye who I've hated historical revisionist
history. Each officer quite crack on the

631
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:04.159
goub and each lady got the most
delicate of jiggles. All lot watching me

632
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:09.400
a bit of the old happened Pickle. I don't know why it needed a

633
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:16.480
replacement, but happen Pickle. That
is the name of the worst pub in

634
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:22.119
England, behind the Hayden Ticket.
I'm going to open a pop called the

635
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:30.719
Hayton Ticket. Oh man, We're
sorry, sort of sort of, but

636
00:54:30.920 --> 00:54:38.440
we're proud to humbling proude, humbling
prode of our heritage Scottish. It has

637
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:40.480
nothing to do with it, but
I think they would do well at the

638
00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:44.960
old slapp and tickle. Oh yeah, absolutely. If you can toss a

639
00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:49.840
caber, you can grab a booby. I'll tell you what not to be

640
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:58.440
outdone by one of our frenzied listeners. Oh yes, the magnanimous Greg has

641
00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:04.519
has graced us with yet another few
puns for us. Oh, we're gonna

Thank you Greg for just letting us visit

681
00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:44.320
and I've I've been dreading it,
but I can't deny it. This is

682
00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:49.840
from a listener Guenevere MCOs. Well, wait a minute, what are Guenevere's

683
00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:57.000
initials? Well, g M O
sound I think it's GMOs. Dude,

00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:02.159
don't don't get cute. All right, So her name is her initials A

685
00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:06.960
GMO. Great. I hope it's
a coincidence because I love the name Gwen

686
00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:10.599
of the year. Guenever says,
I would like to place both David's in

687
00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:16.840
the penalty box. What the entire
GMO episode was all about explaining GMOs to

688
00:59:16.920 --> 00:59:22.679
me? And not once where GMOs
explained to me in a pumpkin metaphor?

689
00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:30.079
Gwinn, you are correct, you
are right, and I apologize, son

690
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:37.360
of a bit. She's totally right. We did an entire podcast about agriculture,

691
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:43.079
never mentioned the pumpkin. That's the
thing that makes every Oh, she's

692
00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:46.519
right, it's fine. We've learned
this when she's right, she's right.

693
00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:50.639
All right, Well, I guess
we should go on to get this over

694
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:52.199
with. Yeah, yeah, do
you want? You want to? You

695
00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:54.639
want to go first? You want
me? She go ahead and go first?

All right? I went last time, by the way, Yeah you

01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:07.599

700
01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:10.719
duty. Yep, you have done
your duty, and thank you. For

701
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:14.360
pointing out because we're wrong. See
how easy it is to say that.

702
01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:16.960
Yep, when you don't have an
ego wrapped up with it, you can

703
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:21.679
just look the truth in the face. Ever heard of it. It's called

704
01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:23.559
the truth. Yeah, it's for
real. Stares at you a lot,

705
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:29.400
regardless of whether or not you want
to admit it. All right, at

706
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:32.719
this point, I'm just putting off
the build yet, this delaying. All

707
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:37.480
right, into the box with me. We've got our materials. I'm going

708
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:43.159
to read a recognizable soliloquy and I'm
not even gonna identify it because if if

709
01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:45.920
you don't know it, God have
mercy on your soul. All right,

base have a won their versus Vickery against

the battle, rebel spies managed to steal

714
01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:21.800
secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space

715
01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:28.360
stations with enough power to destroy the
entire planet. Pursued by the Empires,

01:01:28.480 --> 01:01:35.960
sinister agents Princess Leia raised, this
is home Aborders starship custodian of the stolen

717
01:01:36.199 --> 01:01:45.480
plans that can save her people and
restore freedom to the galaxy. And I'm

718
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:52.480
out. I have to say.
You got better as you went along,

719
01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:54.880
though. Yeah. Every now and
then I could like focus it in and

720
01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:58.599
then I lose it again, Like
when I started like a new sentence,

721
01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:01.639
it was over again. That's so
great, all right, I guess I

722
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:05.719
gotta go in. Yeah, you
do, get your ass in the box.

723
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:13.719
All right, it's my turn in
this beast um. So we have

724
01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:22.280
selected for me the President's speech from
Independence Day, the fine Bill Pullman,

725
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:25.199
the speech from Independence Day. Great, that's if you don't know that speech,

726
01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:30.960
don't worry you. You'll recognize it
maybe anyway. And I go get

727
01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:38.239
in there, all right. I
have their headphones on right now, Good

728
01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:44.639
morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from

729
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:50.320
around the world, and you will
be launching the largest aeal battle in this

730
01:02:50.840 --> 01:02:59.920
history of mankind. Mankind that words
should have new meaning for us, all

731
01:03:00.360 --> 01:03:06.079
all of us today. We can't
be consumed by our petty differences anymore.

732
01:03:06.760 --> 01:03:15.079
We will be united in our common
interests. Perhaps perhaps it is fate that

733
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:22.000
today is the fourth of July and
you will once again be fighting for our

734
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:30.679
freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation.

735
01:03:30.920 --> 01:03:37.239
And we're fighting for our right to
live, to exist, and should we

736
01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:40.599
win, the day the fourth of
July will no longer be known as as

737
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:46.280
American Holiday, but as the day
when the world declared in one voice,

738
01:03:47.119 --> 01:03:58.119
we will not go to wildlant,
we will not vanish without a fight.

739
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:03.360
We're going to live on. We're
going to survive. Today we celebrate our

740
01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:17.239
Independence Day. All its deliciously brutal. That one hit you a lot harder

741
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:20.760
than the last one day. I
think I just need to abandon all caution

742
01:04:20.840 --> 01:04:26.440
and just do it. Oh yeah, because I that's probably worried about talking

743
01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:30.760
slow last time and being understood.
Yeah that you just need to say it,

744
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:34.800
just read it. Yeah. Oh
that's brilliant. Wow, all right,

745
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:44.360
well thanks, uh Gwen mccoh,
Yeah, your dirty hain't brutal.

746
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:47.480
Hell. I know that we've paid
our debt to society. Now let's continue

747
01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:51.280
giving. Yes, there are there
are some individuals out there who need to

748
01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:56.800
be recognized. I'd like to lead
the charge. Now we've mentioned him before

749
01:04:57.159 --> 01:05:02.519
he virtually provided us an entire podcast
in October. Yeah, mister Kenneth Hight,

750
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:08.719
who we love dearly, is not
only a very talented writer, but

751
01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:13.639
he too has thrown his hat into
the podcast ring, which is you know,

752
01:05:14.119 --> 01:05:16.599
pretty great, right, it's a
big ring. So Ken our good

753
01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:20.840
friend. He's got a podcast with
his friend Robin Laws, Robin D.

754
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:26.280
Laws, and they are both very
successful individuals. I know, Ken is

755
01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:30.760
a very prolific writer and also works
a lot in the role playing game industry,

756
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:33.400
which I like the idea of an
industry, like there's that's a big

757
01:05:33.480 --> 01:05:38.079
industry, twenty side of dies just
rolling out the back of a factory.

758
01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:42.679
But no, it's it's a fascinating
podcast. They talk about really interesting things,

759
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:45.719
even if you're not into role playing
games. But there's this interesting thing.

760
01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:50.920
The podcast that I've just recently listened
to talked about the difference between in

761
01:05:51.159 --> 01:05:55.960
time. There's the time that the
characters and whatever, whether it's a video

762
01:05:56.039 --> 01:06:00.199
game or whatever you're playing, experience
versus the time that the players experiences and

763
01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:04.119
how a game has to manage those
two things. Also some really great political

764
01:06:04.199 --> 01:06:06.719
discussion. I mean, these guys
really cover a lot of ground and if

765
01:06:06.800 --> 01:06:12.400
you have the time, it's definitely
worth listening to. It's called Sorry if

766
01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:16.760
you don't have the time, Thanks
Obama. Yeah, see how politic we

767
01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:19.840
can do political? Yeah, we
get that cover. Think you're so special?

768
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:25.559
Can he is special? So please
check it out on iTunes. It's

769
01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:28.960
called Ken and Robin talk about Stuff. You'll love it. It's absolutely great

770
01:06:29.239 --> 01:06:34.519
and we've we've mentioned in this podcast, we've referenced our good friend mel Evans,

771
01:06:34.880 --> 01:06:41.559
Oh yeah, who has a wonderful
podcast with Mark Colam called An Hour

772
01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:45.639
with Your Ex. Yep, go
listen to that. They take some kind

773
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:48.639
of type of media that one or
the other hasn't seen or heard or read

774
01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:55.239
and forced them. Yeah. They
literally have a gun and they trade off

775
01:06:55.280 --> 01:06:58.480
either week and they hold the gun
to the other person and so it's a

776
01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:00.320
starter pistol. It doesn't end ball. That still hurts, man, I

777
01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:02.400
know, but they care about each
other so they want to be safe.

778
01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:08.320
So check that one out. Please
do It's and I'll say this, I

779
01:07:08.440 --> 01:07:11.519
have a hard time with it because
sometimes I'm not that hip. I don't

780
01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:15.280
like watch things when they come out. I'm way behind on Downtown Abbey or

781
01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:19.199
downtown Abbey and so I can tell
sometimes I have to skip an episode because

782
01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:23.440
I haven't seen the thing they're talking
about, but sometimes when I have,

783
01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:26.679
I get really excited. So if
yeah, I mean, if you've ever

784
01:07:26.719 --> 01:07:30.840
seen you know, pulp fiction or
Jaws. Yeah, or maybe if you'd

785
01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:35.119
like to hear them discuss House of
Cards Mel Evans, maybe that would be

786
01:07:35.239 --> 01:07:42.239
fun for them to do a podcast
about. We want to extend a very,

787
01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:48.280
very huge and special thank you to
an artist this week, Roger Langridge,

788
01:07:48.599 --> 01:07:55.880

819
01:09:59.159 --> 01:10:01.399

we have become so boundlessly popular in
our own families that we have to literally

821

do a little bit of a technological
overhaul. Yeah, we were, we're

hoping to get some some upgrades for
you guys. Ye. Well we're also

stuff, faster stuff, stronger stuff. And now here's the thing. I

829
01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:46.800
don't want this to be nebulous.
I want you to know that we'll be

830
01:10:46.920 --> 01:10:51.880
back in no less than three weeks. We'll be back in March, probably

Oh which Betterer. We just we learned

of mystery. I really should have thought

837
01:11:17.239 --> 01:11:20.880
that through. I just I was
launched off the cliff. We're good,

838

slag off. Here, here's the end

842
01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:23.199
of the rainbow. You have all
of the Avengers and you don't have a

843
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:26.800
Hulk. What are you talking about
at your home? Do you have a

844
01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:30.800
hulk? Did you a shoe the
Hulk? Did you personally excise the Hulk

845
01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:35.199
out of the Avengers? What in
what form the legos? Yeah, oh,

846
01:12:35.279 --> 01:12:38.239
I don't have all of them.
I've got iron Man and Thor.

847
01:12:38.600 --> 01:12:42.560
You've got iron Man in Thor and
more than that, you've got Loki.

848
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:45.000
You got like a thousand. Ok
I got one Loki. No, I

849
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:47.840
have the Hulk. I have it
in a little squinky thing. Okay,

850
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:50.960
all right, you got like two
low Keys. I just got one Loki.

851
01:12:51.119 --> 01:12:54.880

852
01:12:55.199 --> 01:13:00.600

jeep that lego. Yeah, but

853
01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:04.880
I don't have a Thor in that
lego. No. So here's the uh,

854
01:13:05.199 --> 01:13:06.199
here's the end of the rainbow.
