00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:25.120
Oh the Blurry Photos has always been
celebrated to just find informative podcast and like

2
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:31.879
the finest podcast. It also has
listener mail and it's vintage dated, so

3
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.520
we know how long it's been since
we was sent. Dude is mister Floyd

4
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:44.600
here. He doesn't do anything,
that's it. Hello, Welcome to Blurpy

5
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:51.640
Potos. Blurpy Potatoes. Yeah,
Blurpy Potos. So our registered trade mark

6
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:53.799
fell out. We forgot to get
it back in time, and there's a

7
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:58.240
cyber squatter on it. Now we're
Blurpy Potos. We wish our trade marks

8
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.719
wouldn't last longer. Trade shut up. I gave Dave hey bourbon barrel ale.

9
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:10.400
He slipped me a mickey. It's
not fair, and h Dave.

10
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.560
Dave's used to drinking beers that the
alcohol content is way lower. I kind

11
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.799
of like the alcohol content of a
diet code. Yeah, like a glass

12
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.640
of kool aid. I do like
I I enjoy some really well made beers,

13
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.159
but for the most part, I
just like like Miller lite man,

14
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.400
just like like cheap beer, and
that's what I drink usually, and I

15
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.040
know exactly how to paste that.
But Flora gave me beer and him then

16
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.000
as after I had finished it,
I was like, I he was like,

17
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.359
was that beer strong? Was the
alcohol content feel right now? Really

18
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.680
warm? But also that that beer
lied to me a little bit. Maybe

19
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.560
maybe it wasn't as honest and forthcoming
as it could be. What do you

20
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.319
think of the conflicts in the Middle
East? So I don't know. So

21
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.680
I'm doing pretty good. I hope
you guys are doing well. Yeah,

22
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.840
Merry Christmas, Happy holidays. Uh

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.199
we've got we've got sort of a
stocking full of a half episode.

26
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.879
Does that make sense? Um?
We Unfortunately, we really wanted to get

27
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.960

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:06.199
I wait for podcasting and U.
So we've got some we got h we're

34
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.879
gonna catch up a listener mail.
We're gonna do some scary stories. I've

35
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.120
got a scary story. I've got
a story that is scary about my scary

36
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.960
stories. Okay, it's more of
a running apology, um and uh an

37
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.360
adventures. Yeah, let's let's let's
dive right into it with the faces book.

38
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:30.879
Yeah, Facebook missives a terrifying tale
of Facebook. Look, Facebook messages,

39
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:39.360
likes, likes, likes, likes
Facebook first ball, first ball?

40
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.280
What whatever does? Then the rest
of them? Song? Who we got

41
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.240
arst? All right? Catching up? See we're a little worse at the

42
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.639
Facebook, but we're catching up.
We're getting it done. Sometimes we put

43
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.360
them in a pocket so we can
pull them out when we want to reminder

44
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:02.000
how much people live. Our friend
Chris hits us up and this was a

45
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.360
while ago, but we're catching up. So sorry Chris for the long silence.

46
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.520
Really like my profanity filled anti Sandhill
Crane tirade. Well, that's what

47
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.959
emotion does. When you feel something
strongly, you probably are going to say

48
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:18.639
the F word a lot. I
mean I think we all know this,

49
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.120
right, I mean, that's just
just how the world works. I'm terrible

50
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:28.199
when I get emotional because it's all
swears and then my memory turns off.

51
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.800
Blackout mad yeah nice, Yeah,
I just get blackout fat and restaurants just

52
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.959
need a bunch of stuff that don't
remember it. I envy you blackout fats

53
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:46.360
reel and it's glorious. So thank
you, Chris. Thanks Chris. Our

54
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:55.160
friend Mecca john Zilla from Deep in
his Undersea Layer ginned up a completely amazing

55
00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:03.800
Guns and Rosebud poster for us for
our twenty fifteen world Ah. This is

56
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:13.319
great. Instead of actual pistols,
it has sleds and all the members of

57
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:19.000
Guns and Roses have orson Will's face. Micha John Zillah posted it to our

58
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.839
timeline on Facebook. So when we
get our new website, I'm going to

59
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:29.879
have a page dedicated exclusively to these
amazing, yeah, fucking amazing fan art

60
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.279
things that you guys do. And
until then, if you want to go

61
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.600
to our website, that's where you
can find this. For now, we've

62
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.879
discussed this in the past and we
mean it like we're doing this. Yeah,

63
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.199
We're going to to condense all of
this amazing fan art. You guys

64
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.360
are magnificent, And I'm gonna be
honest, like, I'm so grateful and

65
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.319
happy that it then instantly makes me
feel bad for no reason. You know,

66
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.439
like when someone does something really nice
for you and it just for no

67
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.240
reason, just kind of makes you
feel kind of bad. That's it.

68
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.120
We don't say that because they'll stop
doing it. No no, no,

69
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.319
no, no, keep doing it. I deserve to feel bad. But

70
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.480
uh no, wait, sit,
no, we feel great. It's it's

71
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:10.600
great, it's it's uh it's a
giggle blush moment. You just giggle blush,

72
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.480
giggle, blush, blush. So
thank you, thank you, Mecca

73
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.120
john Zella. It's awesome. Now
just go back to wherever you came from.

74
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.800
I got my in laws in towning
buttsugo, no, no, no,

75
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.519
no no, I wasn't talking to
him. No remortal enemies been sugga.

76
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.040
I promise we're gonna come back around
to Mecca john Zella. He's got

77
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.480
some like we're I don't know how
would you sort it? I mean,

78
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:39.519
well, I'm juggling turkeys right now. So we've got yeah, we've got

79
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.240
like the Facebook. It's so we're
gonna come back to him when it comes

80
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.240
time for email times. Facebook's now
focusing on Facebook, and we heard from

81
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.480
listener Sean Sean, who says he
found us through the deaf Past episode,

82
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.319
our biggest crowd pleaser. That's what
I tell people to listen to. Have

83
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.839
you read Dead Mountain yet, Flora? I haven't yet neither. That's you

84
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.879
know what that's on my holiday reading
list. We both have copies of it,

85
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.480
and we neither of us have read
it, so hopefully we will,

86
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.759
and then we'll get to discuss it, and I might even get a wild

87
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.600
hair and ask on the author,
Oh that might be fun. We have

88
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.240
to read it first? Would you
come with me to the springfling dance of

89
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:26.959
podcast Deck? Though Sean says he's
since listened to every single podcast of ours,

90
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.439
laughed his arself, cried tears of
shame, and even felt the cold

91
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:39.079
shill of badgers waiting to strike,
and he says that the blurry photos has

92
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.199
become a requirement for his daily listening, and the anticipation to hear our next

93
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:50.240
episode would make Richard Dreyfuss blush,
Oh dry fust, Come on because it's

94
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.959
fun, and he calls for a
Sucalo sound. It is such a thing

95
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:03.600
even possible. Yes, it is
Graham to Uh. He says he heard

96
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.720
he heard rumors we might be forming
our own Blurry Photos X Men team and

97
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:16.040
thought that the first recruit should be
the Badgerine on the Noisiest What I do,

98
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:26.120
hey, Bob, if there was
like a movie adaptation, I would

99
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:37.240
insist that Danny DeVito played the badgery
But even though he's balding, he still

100
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.440
sticks his hair up on the side
exactly, but he mostly just just devours

101
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:48.879
like like buffets, the Badgerine.
That's awesome, he says. Keep up

102
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.559
the work, the amazing work.
And know that we have a fan north

103
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.279
of the border who raves about the
show and even played the Suspicion song for

104
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.960
his girlfriend, whoa thank you very
much. Yeah, that's uh. That's

105
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.000
dedicated a true roll the dice with
your relationship there. I I respect that,

106
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.000
uh, And I'm a big fan
of Canada. I don't think I've

107
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.679
been any uh, made any secrets
about that. And that's true. And

108
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:22.000
he signs it Sean the Count of
the Gingers, whoam count Count Ginger?

109
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.600
Yeah? Not not the baron,
No, not the Duke. Yeah,

110
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:31.759
not the Earl Sean, count Di
Ginger. I like that, very nice.

111
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.519
Thank you, Sean, your Countess. We got a really I'm sure

112
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.919
you may have heard about this in
the news, and if you hadn't,

113
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.600
this is worth pointing out. Darren
made sure to send us a thing that

114
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:50.120
green Peace apparently up the NASCA lines. Oh my god. Well to make

115
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.799
sure that we knew not to fuck
up our natural resources. Oh my god.

116
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.840
Yeah. And you know what,
when I first heard about this,

117
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.240
I was like, that's a big
goal. Um fake article. It's too

118
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.799
Yeah, it's too onion esque.
Yeah, no way, it actually happened.

119
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.879
They set up these uh tarps to
spell out, you know, green

120
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:16.399
Peace right time for change, the
future is renewable green piece. And it

121
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.759
wasn't like they scratched it in the
surface like the lines were. But what

122
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.879
they did with all their tramping and
trumping around to set up these tarps,

123
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:33.759
they put these ugly ass lines and
marks in the soil in the National World

124
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.240
Heritage site. Yeah, it's unbelievable
and nobody knows how they got there.

125
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.080
Nobody knows because they're supposed to be
very well protected. I thought you're time

126
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.480
about the NASCAR lines. No,
I mean it could go. But I

127
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.759
you know, nobody knows how how
these these douche helmets got there. I

128
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.879
just isn't that just mind blowing.
I'll tell you what. I feel bad

129
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.200
for them. I feel like who
green peace? Yeah, I tell you

130
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.200
why. I'll tell you why.
Tell me why. I think. Uh,

131
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.399
And it's the same, it's the
same kind of opinion I hold for

132
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.399
sayt Peta foundationally agree with them.
I don't think that we are as a

133
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.600
species very responsible with this planet.
I don't think we think about our actions.

134
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.000
And I'm glad that there's someone out
there saying, hey, think about

135
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.600
your actions. I think that um
animals do need an advocate, and I

136
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:28.120
agree with that. And that is
the last thing that I have in agreement

137
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.440
with them, right. I think
from that point forward, things get off

138
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:37.000
in these crazy, weird directions of
activism and weird ideology that I just can't

139
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:43.360
agree with. And and and this
this he doesn't take a genius to realize

140
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.840
that you're good creative giant. Problem
when you did this, This was not

141
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.320
well thought through. This was you
know, this was this was people getting

142
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.840
caught up in the hype of it, in knowing that they're going to make

143
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.879
a real big statement, it's going
to be a huge deal, and losing

144
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.519
sight of the fact of what it
is they are trying to do in the

145
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.799
first place. Oh my gosh.
I mean, if you want press and

146
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.159
and every you know, everybody,
there's that old saying that any press is

147
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.200
good press. You know, bad
press is good press. You know whatever.

148
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.759
This is not good press. No, this, this makes people hate

149
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:20.159
Green Peace, right, and and
it's and against and this also, I

150
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.639
mean, regardless of where you've fallen
your opinion, a green piece like this

151
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:31.399
is one of those things that is
such a perfect story of the opposition of

152
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.840
it, like, oh, we've
up a World Heritage site while to crying

153
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.679
people's recklessness about our world heritage.
You know, like god, you you

154
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:45.440
really you can't. You can't have
messed yourself over worse than this. So

155
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.559
sorry, Green Peace. All those
people should be fired, but you can't

156
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.960
because they're all volunteers. Um,
I don't know, put them on put

157
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.679
them on whaleboat duty for a while, Let let the uh the cold southern

158
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.720
ocean cool them off for a while. I don't I don't know how you

159
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.480
how you discipline people that you clearly
couldn't control. In the first place.

160
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.720
And I'll bet you that like,
uh, Green Piece Headquarters is are like

161
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:15.080
you what might do you serious?
Don't you think there was some somebody in

162
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.480
charge that that okayde No, that
I think that there are. It's the

163
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.519
same thing with Peter. I think
there are people in charge, and I

164
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.519
think that they have the loosest,
if any, control over what happens on

165
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.639
a regional level. Like well,
I mean that at least, you know,

166
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.360
and that's maybe that's me throwing them
a bone. I hope to God

167
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.320
that this didn't make it up to
the High Council of Dark Elders of of

168
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.399
green Peace in their underground laboratory and
they were like, we radify this action.

169
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.840
Go forth and don't forget to bring
us all the receipts from Joanne's Fabrics

170
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.639
for all the giant will yellow fabric
you'll be buying. They the fabric.

171
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.720
Maybe it's my my brain tying things
together, but the fabric looks like it's

172
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.279
in the font that Green Piece uses. It is it is, Well,

173
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.519
it's it's And then for green Peace
they used their trademark font. Yeah,

174
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.080
they put the time in. They
they did it the way that they do

175
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.720
it. So I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe I'm being too

176
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.320
apologetic on their behalf by saying no, they couldn't have known this because this

177
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:20.159
this just stinks of bad idea right
up front. Yeah. Yeah, It's

178
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.759
like it's like saying, it's like
burning the word green piece into a nature

179
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:31.240
preserve, Like why would you do
that? It's like salting the word green

180
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.440
piece into the last wheat field.
I'm gonna throw the red paint directly onto

181
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.360
the polar bear, so so that
everyone knows how how how irresponsible we treat

182
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.480
polar bears, you know, like
I don't know, I don't It's a

183
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.120
but thanks Darren, Yeah, thanks
for bringing that up. Yeah, whatever,

184
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.600
it's funny. Ha ha. We
heard from Oh Jimmy, Oh jim

185
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.320
Jimmy, sh I have the pack
give us oh jeems a hook where you

186
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:11.200
ben Jimmy the bad Luck Eye of
the Little Yellow God that is the Danger

187
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:20.480
Mouse episode with Penfold. He sent
us a donation for a penalty box immunity

188
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:28.159
for the duration of one week.
Whoa, and he says, please taket

189
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:43.159
just call me Charlie Buckets. You
can suck it. Oh, he says,

190
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.440
use it wisely. Well, we'll
try send us some movie suggestions.

191
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.159
Number one, Oculus, is that
the one with Karen Gillen. Is that

192
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.320
the mirror one. I can't imagine
there's anything with her that I haven't seen,

193
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.279
but I think so it's a haunted
mirror one, haunted mirror one.

194
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.879
Yeah, it might be. Yeah
that I think that's on the old watch

195
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:07.159
list. When the girlfriends not in
the room, she's gonna beat me.

196
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.960
Number two Absentia, have you seen
this? I've not heard of that.

197
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.159
I haven't heard of this. Do
it? Do it? Do it?

198
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.840
Like Jay Leno? Have you seen
this? You seen this? Heard of

199
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.720
this? Yeah? Number two Absentia, you guys think you heard about anybody?

200
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:30.639
Think that anything? A Tina?
Yes. Number three snow Piercer saw

201
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.840
it, saw it, He hated
it. I liked it except for the

202
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.879
ending. One of my favorite things
that I made Flora sip around for like

203
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.879
twenty minutes while I queued up this
great joke. If you pull up snow

204
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.000
Piercer on Netflix, which it's on
Netflix you want to see, watch it

205
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.279
and it's got like it's like,
you know, snow Piercing. It has

206
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.120
like they always show like one still
from the movie. You could easily take

207
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.799
that still and say it was a
Wes Anderson movie about a rich woman and

208
00:16:55.879 --> 00:17:00.200
a family of coal miners, like
it really it looks like, you know

209
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.960
Wes Anderson film if you just look
at the picture from Netflix. And I

210
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.279
was really pleased with that, and
I went, I mean, for like

211
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.400
twenty minutes, I was like,
hold on, how does your Netflix work?

212
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.720
And then when I was like,
there's my joke and for and his

213
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.160
girlfriend just stared at me, like
really went through all that? For that?

214
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.119
Yes, I did. I liked. I liked the movie except for

215
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.200
it wasn't even the very end.
I'm fine with the very end of it,

216
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:33.559
but maybe the m the last twenty
minutes before the very very end,

217
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:40.279
I just I don't know, it
went off the tracks for me. Oh,

218
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:45.640
I just couldn't. I don't feel
like I was ever on board with

219
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:51.599
the gender. The initial premise.
Yeah yeah, I'll fight you, I'll

220
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.480
fight you. Um. I didn't
like the way the plot conducted itself.

221
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.839
Are you reaching on that one?
It's just here's the thing, like it

222
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.920
was, it was kind of an
interesting premise. It just sort of ran

223
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.640
out of steam. Damn, we're
the worst human beings. We're working.

224
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:18.519
I don't know who engineered that script
in the wheels came off. What can

225
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.480
I say? God, I the
only way for this to stop is if

226
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:27.160
I just stopped. I'm stopping,
You're just stopping. Yeah, any Jesus,

227
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:32.640
we're the worst people. So thanks
for the opportunity to have a pun

228
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:37.519
battle. Yea. Anyway, snow
Piercer. Yeah, if you're bored watching,

229
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.960
you should still watch it. You
should still watch it because I mean

230
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:42.720
it was it was interesting to watch
and I'm glad I saw it. I

231
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:49.200
just at the end of it was
like you what might he says, get

232
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:56.599
this Dave TV show suggestion? Rick
and Morty. Oh, I am incandescent

233
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.279
with my love for Rick and Morty, and it's one of my favorite things

234
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.880
in the world. I should to
Flora. We we we celebrate that show.

235
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.000
We do. I actually ask for
it. I actually have it on

236
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.680
my Christmas list. I asked for
it for my family, the first season

237
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.160
on DVD. I want full access
to that and whatever. That's one of

238
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.880
those things that I enjoy so much. I'm like, whatever extras are on

239
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.799
there, I can't wait to get
my teeth into. Yeah. Yeah,

240
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:25.720
it's a it's a Dan Harmon joint
yep animated and it's kind of like a

241
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.680
mad scientist and his um It's it's
actually it's it's a direct result of this

242
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:37.839
running joke that they had about Doc
Brown and Marty. That Doc Brown.

243
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.000
You're like, what what if?
What if Doc Brown really did travel everywhere?

244
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.319
And you know that's what it's Rick
and Morty, Doc and Marty.

245
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.039
It's that's kind of the premise of
it, except for imagine Doc Brown being

246
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:53.759
this this this morally bankrupt, always
drunk lunatic who can travel to any dimension

247
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.359
and he just drags this kid along
with him and it's just great, Yeah,

248
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.839
really funny. We we really like
that. Finally a useless superpower,

249
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:08.640
oh, the ability to withstand any
stupid movie or TV show without remorse.

250
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:14.720
Who oh god, I mean I
think that's what the that's what the CW

251
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.400
is begging for. Really, like
they just like, please, I'm gonna

252
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:27.200
call that net net Flixia, Uh
thank you, Jimmy. Oh sweet.

253
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:33.359
We got uh Sean um who we've
had quite a bit of correspondence with in

254
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:40.559
the last month or so. Uh
sean Or recommended um Ka spew Bag yeah,

255
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:45.319
aka the spew Bag recommended our podcast
to pod on Pod for review,

256
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:52.039
which I genuinely can't thank you enough
for that. That's awesome. I'm really

257
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.039
glad you did it. Yeah,
No, it was amazing that that you

258
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:56.960
took the time to do that.
Uh No, I genuinely thank you very

259
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.880
much. It's always I mean,
you know, we're we're working on it.

260
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.079
We want more exposure and and that's
how you do it. Maybe the

261
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.119
pot on Pod gents weren't um sniffing
our coffee. They did not like what

262
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.720
we were waking and shaking and bacon
too. No, I don't know,

263
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.200
sure didn't. But that's fine because
we're way smarter than them. And I

264
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.839
also can pretty confidently say we could
take him in a fight. You know,

265
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.200
they show up at our house,
it's not gonna go out for him,

266
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:23.119
bro, It's not gonna go out
for him at all. Bro.

267
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:27.240
Just that's right. If someone someone
didn't like us, we find him.

268
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:30.759
Listen. I'm not saying we're going
after him. We never would. I

269
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.559
don't care where they are, but
if they showed up at my house,

270
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:38.400
I have to defend my territory.
It's my dojo. Bro. So thank

271
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.000
you very much. And uh,
Sean wanted to wish us a merry cromp

272
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.519
us. Thank yeah, thank you
very much, and uh and you thank

273
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:49.559
you. It was just the nicest
thing in the world for him to put

274
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.279
us up for that. And it's
it's all good. Yeah, it's all

275
00:21:52.319 --> 00:22:02.119
good. Thank you. Spewbagi,
spew big. One of them is a

276
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.200
pokey man. You do not I
don't get it. Not one of them

277
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.279
has a stick? How are you
poking? What is this? It's no

278
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.839
one of those sex things, is
it? Because like those guys are growing

279
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:19.480
up too fast in Japan all the
cartoons. Everyone's got giant boobies. I'm

280
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:29.680
tired. Heard from a Jeremy.
Jeremy, I thought you were going to

281
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.000
do the song, and I know
I kind of thought about it myself and

282
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.519
decided not to because I think Jeremy's
in general just that you know, they

283
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.079
you don't want uh pearl jam haunting
you your whole life. It's like everyone

284
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.480
in the world named mister Jones has
to deal with with king counting crows until

285
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:52.319
they die. It's not fair everybody
in the world named Annie being asked if

286
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.640
they're okay? Right? How often
does your girlfriend get that? Not as

287
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.920
much as he used to I think
that that was a real problem for her

288
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.559
for a while. Dave just got
the look in his eye. I'm bringing

289
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.519
it back. Not I am not, I am not do so at your

290
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:12.880
own peril, my friend. I
know. Fun fact Boy's girlfriend is an

291
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:19.039
extraordinarily skilled martial artist nobles. She
is not a woman to be toyed with,

292
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:26.039
although it's kind of fun to provokers
ands just like the dog. Yeah,

293
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.799
I'll be struck by a smooth criminal, which is what she calls a

294
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:37.680
roundhouse kick. Jeremy has a pun
for us. Says, this government agency

295
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:42.680
pretends to do what other agencies do, even dressing up like them. What

296
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:55.240
it's called LARPA. Oh, oh, very nice, And all of the

297
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.559
robots and the weapons that they construct
our foam, they're just fun like that.

298
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.480
He also has a story for us. Bryant said, he heard you

299
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:10.240
talking about Green Mountain Falls. Yeah, his grandparents have cabin in Cascade.

300
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:15.359
Very nice, and his parents recently
bought a cabin next door in early two

301
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.160
thousand and five. That's just up
the old ute pass. That sounded like

302
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:23.119
a euphemism. It's not mute passes. I believe you, I believe.

303
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:30.599
Compared to his grandparents cabin. His
parents' new cabin was huge, two stories

304
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:36.279
with a walkout basement. It was
built in the thirties and because the original

305
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:41.160
owners painted it green, it came
to be known as the Blarney Stone.

306
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:47.160
And then growing up, his grandmother
would tell him stories about the Blarney Stone.

307
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:49.519
She said that in the sixties,
one of the guys who lived there

308
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:56.880
killed his best friend in the basement
over a money dispute, whoa gun shot

309
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:02.119
to the chest. Ah. She
also told them that the body was buried

310
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:08.519
somewhere on the property, probably in
the basement itself. That's Blarney. So

311
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:14.839
fast forward forty five years after they
bought the Blarney Stone. Immediately after purchasing

312
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:21.400
at the entire extended family embarks to
Colorado to help his parents set up the

313
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.160
new cabin. They packed up a
trailer with some mattresses, beds, and

314
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:30.079
other small items and headed to the
cabin. And because they lived in Arizona,

315
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.200
it was a very long drive,
so when they got there it was

316
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.079
late, and because they were tired, they just grabbed a bunch of the

317
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:38.440
mattresses through, one in each bedroom, right on the floor. How did

318
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.759
that work out for him? They
did discover that one of the rooms did

319
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.319
have a bed frame left by the
previous owners. It was the bedroom in

320
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.680
the basement. Not only was there
a bed frame, but all the furniture

321
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.000
that the previous owners did not want
was there, and as he got upstairs,

322
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.160
he found all the other bedrooms had
been claimed with no couch, and

323
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:06.519
he was forced to head back down
into the basement to sleep. No Earlier,

324
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:08.359
on the drive up, his sister
brought up the topic of the shooting,

325
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:14.880
asking if it was true, and
their father admitted that their now deceased

326
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.359
grandmother had also told him the same
story, and he looked into it said

327
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.000
that most of the details were proudly
not true, like the body being buried

328
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:29.200
there, but he did confirm that
someone was shot and killed in the basement.

329
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.319
No. The first night's sleeping in
the basement, he had the most

330
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.359
horrifying dreams he has ever had.
He woke up several times in a cold

331
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.680
sweat, and while he doesn't remember
an ether dreams, he remembers him being

332
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:47.759
scary, terrifying. For the next
three nights, he continued to sleep in

333
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.839
the basement, not connecting or wanting
to connect the basement and his bad dreams

334
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.519
each night, the dreams returned.
The last couple of nights he chose to

335
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.720
sleep on the new couch that his
parents had perch. Just those last couple

336
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:06.440
of nights were dream free, and
he's been back several times and never hesitate

337
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:10.839
to go down into the basement,
unlike his sister who will never go down

338
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.160
there alone. The guest bedroom down
there has been decorated and cleaned up,

339
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:22.160
but it remains unoccupied. Or is
it true story? Bro seeing true story?

340
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.839
You can have horror in Colorado,
you can have terror. Thank you,

341
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.799
Jeremy, that was an awesome story
to shift. Thank you, sir.

342
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:36.240
Keeps you keeps you nice and warm
on these cold Yule nights. I

343
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:45.160
know a better way to stay warm
on a cold Yule night. How m

344
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.039
David Stecco from Blurry Photos. We
sure have had a lot of fun over

345
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.839
the last couple of years, but
it matter'd like to talk to you about

346
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:59.400
something a little more serious, A
little boy intimate. You see, every

347
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.039
year there's one longest night of the
year, the winter Solstice, the EU

348
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.799
and while they used to be celebrated
by a number of different cultures in a

349
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.240
number of different ways, it's not
getting the attention it used to deserve.

350
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.920
So I'd like to propose SMS a
night for you to take your special gal,

351
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:21.599
a girl and a guy. I
don't care if you're into gals or

352
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.880
girls or even guys, it's fine. Take him home, Maybe get a

353
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.680
bottle of wine. It's a meg
cream, and then just have a ton

354
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.640
of really really satisfying, great sex. Maybe try something new you've always been

355
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:40.720
afraid too. No judgments on Forstmas. Just make sure everybody's safe and happy.

356
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.680
You have sex all night. Thank
you for your time. I've been

357
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:52.200
Dave Stecco add back to the podcast. That's our new advertisermus known in Canada

358
00:28:52.279 --> 00:29:00.680
as Saturnalia going to International Trade lass. What else we got cut through uath

359
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:07.240
hunger, oh m hmm, with
his many tentacles, looking for sandwiches,

360
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:14.279
maybe a bit of a cress olives, any whatever's on the table, peanuts,

361
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:23.359
he sha, candy, Oh good
thudding, figgy pudding. Uh,

362
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.960
He's got a very important fact that
he should share with us. Share it.

363
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:33.279
The infamous Uh. The infamous of
lad Tepis, popularly known as Dracula,

364
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.039
actually had a lesser known cousin who
was mostly content to leave the people

365
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:42.400
alone, as long as he got
his taste, using his vampiric powers,

366
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.200
only to fondle the occasional buxom lady
he was, of course lad Da.

367
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:55.799
I hope I wrote the writing.
Yeah, I tried to read it as

368
00:29:55.839 --> 00:30:00.720
it was written, so so thank
you for that. Hungers Also, he

369
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:08.759
wonders why why we mute Ken during
the listener mail portion or pod I just

370
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:14.920
have this rope playing hair, this
duct tape. See, here's the thing,

371
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.880
um, we, especially when it
comes to getting a guest, I

372
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:22.039
say a guest, as though we've
had any other guest, but Ken,

373
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.000
there's no other guest. We don't
necessarily get to record them right before they

374
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.000
come out, And so we actually
do the listener mail portion separately, and

375
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.519
we keep referring to the fact that
Ken is sitting so very quietly, just

376
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.000
as a joke to ourselves, because
he's by the time we do the listener

377
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.000
mail and edit that part in,
he's long gone and has been gone for

378
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:45.039
at least a week. And even
if if we did the listener mail while

379
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.880
he was here, I don't know
that that would be something he'd be yeah

380
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.599
into. Well, we will ask
him next time we see him. He's

381
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.200
a very busy man. We don't
want to take up too much of his

382
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:59.759
time. So yeah, so we're
not muting him. He's literally no,

383
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.240
we're near us when we do the
listener mail that part in order to keep

384
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:06.599
it sort of updated and fresh,
I know, with an asterisk because we're

385
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.160
all slow on it, but that
we do that part separately. Yeah,

386
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:11.480
that's here you go. I hope
you're proud of yourself. Now you get

387
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:17.079
to peek up our skirts, see
what's going on. It's in the cloud

388
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:26.079
now, still hungry, Thank you
for writing egg. Next up, we

389
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:36.400
have the fourteen hive Mind fourteen mind, yes hive. First off, we

390
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:41.279
would like to establish that we talked
it over and we all agree that we

391
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.880
identify as Mail good to Know,
Sweet, good to Know. No more

392
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.440
need for this hive business. It
sounds like a sounds like a four to

393
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.680
five split vote, and it was
like a one guy getting lobbied like,

394
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.880
dudes, dudes, we're gonna goose
dudes. Yeah. Secondly, he wanted

395
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:05.400
to point out that Stecco dodged a
penalty box bullet as his error was made

396
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:12.079
on the last episode of Bullstone and
therefore free from repercussions. You stated,

397
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:21.519
yeah, your favorite alien species were
cylons from Battlestoga Electica. Yeah, cylons

398
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:25.839
are in fact not an alien species, but man made. They're not from

399
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:30.160
Earth. They were made on Earth. No they weren't. They were made

400
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.200
on Earth. No, they weren't. And then they were made on Caprica.

401
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:37.759
Bitch, soccer. Did you go
home and look that up? Oh?

402
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:39.960
I did not. I can't believe
the first time we had this discussion,

403
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:44.119
I didn't think of this defense.
None of these things happened on Earth.

404
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:52.160
So then the real debate is what's
an alien? Yeah? If mankind

405
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:59.839
being mankind and not you know,
like Vulcans or Klingons made made them,

406
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.799
than what counts. Here's this is
this is why I define them as aliens

407
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:10.079
because what came back the skin job
cylons were completely as separate as could be

408
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:16.079
from the asylum that left. They
were a completely new thing, with desires

409
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:24.039
and priorities that no one could fathom. They were completely alien to the people.

410
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:29.240
Even if you don't take mine they
didn't come from Earth defense, which

411
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:32.279
is fine, say they came from
humans, they were still aliens. They

412
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.279
were aliens in every way you could
possibly want to to call it. Okay,

413
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.359
Well, let the listeners decide.
Yeah, I guess we will,

414
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:45.559
he says, Rist assured that he
will level a charge against one of us

415
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:50.440
when the time is right, one
of us. One of us. Yeah,

416
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.400
well, it's gonna be me because
I just lawyered so hard on a

417
00:33:52.559 --> 00:34:00.119
non charge. He's gonna have to
nail my ass to the wall. He

418
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.200
hates to leave us without a pun
but tris he might the only one he

419
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.599
could think of. Is not really
an episode or topic. On a personal

420
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:09.639
note, he had a dear artist
friend by the name of Bob, recently

421
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:14.400
pass away. He was a marvelous
painter and a genius with his art.

422
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.400
But the other night he awoke to
hear what sounded like brushstrokes on a dry

423
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:22.239
canvas. Upon further inspection, he
discovered his late friend had returned to paint

424
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:30.119
one last masterpiece. He even signed
it Bob the Painter. Ah, yeah,

425
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:37.400
hayting, Wow, puns on,
puns on, that's beautiful. Nice

426
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:46.239
Uhob, Now now you're in the
the valhalla. Thank you so much.

427
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:52.280
All right, we got Creary's hitting
us up, says gentlemen A long time,

428
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:57.760
no, right, I really liked
our Darren coou episode h girl and

429
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:02.039
was kind of h was listening to
our Cargo Cults episode but was kind of

430
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:07.760
half asleep on Thanksgiving. And what
shocked him out of his days the fact

431
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:15.039
that he thought we were both having
simultaneously strokes trying to pronounce Oceania, Oceania,

432
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:17.519
Oceania, Shania Twain. That's what
we settled on. I don't know

433
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:24.000
se he still can't do it uh
and uh, and he also not quite

434
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:28.199
sure how to do it. So
thank you very much. And a Porden,

435
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.119
you forgot one important cargo cult,
the one that was only interested in

436
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:37.760
the giant crates marked s on the
side. The crates were filled with snails.

437
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:50.480
That's right. These Epicureans were the
s cargo cults. Crery also really

438
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:58.159
liked our guns and Rosebud from our
our Bullstone with Greg Bach Oh, which

439
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:00.320
we did as well. That is
that's going to go down as one of

440
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:07.599
my favorite moments on the podcast.
Yeah, that was awesome, So thank

441
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:13.559
you very much. Cry Who's next? I mean, I can't possibly guess.

442
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:20.920
See the key is to not need
the break too, because I think

443
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:23.679
that's why he does it on purpose. I'm gonna pretend he's not even there

444
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:28.320
because I know he's there. I
know he's there. Son of a bitch,

445
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:31.599
you know, Mitsuko. Mitsuko thinks
I'm cheating on her, that I

446
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:36.920
did sits Oh, for God's sake, just get out of here, Get

447
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:40.599
out of here, giant robot.
Yeah yeah, yeah, do you see

448
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:45.000
what you've done? I drink a
lot now. You know, he used

449
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.199
to have a great job of the
American government. He should translate on a

450
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.480
base. Now I teach cooking classes. I don't think you are sorry,

451
00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:02.199
John, coming out of the ocean
with the pond. People in the Midwest

452
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:07.880
have started a cultural phenomenon where one
person murders people and then other people pretend

453
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:13.760
to be hit man. These groups
of people are known as Fargo cults.

454
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.840
Jepper Shrider Micha Jonzelle also hits us
with some take advice on some some of

455
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:23.599
the stuff that was happening with our
email. You know how I was saying

456
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:30.440
that here and there there they're plugins. That's stupid plugins. Yeah. He

457
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:34.400
gets some really good advice and then
says unless it's a plug in issue.

458
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:38.519
In that case he doesn't. Unfortunately
it's a plug in issue, but that

459
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:45.039
hopefully won't be a problem in the
not too distant future once we get new

460
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:49.840
stuff set up. Anyways, thanks
for writing in the advice though, because

461
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:55.719
we always appreciate hope, always appreciate
it. Thanks. We've got some excellent

462
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:02.320
communications from Julia a k a.
The Goat Girl, Good Girl Girl,

463
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:10.559
the Darling of Adelaide. She completely
understands how Paynton Bob can listen to several

464
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:15.519
episodes in a day. I don't, so I'm glad you do. You

465
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.239
guys are the best, and I
appreciate your dedication to listening and wanting to

466
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.760
distract yourself while you work all day. So that's true. But you know,

467
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:27.320
I could not be happier for it, So thank you very very much

468
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.800
for that. And she did come
back. She did verify that we can

469
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.920
share her u r L. So
we'll be posting that on the website and

470
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:40.360
also it is Flora Julia dash Robinson
dot net. Do it. You'll be

471
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:45.800
glad you did. I know we
were. Julie is also working h she's

472
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:51.920
thinking about doing as the thesis for
her masters, different myths and folklore surrounding

473
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:58.159
death and resurrection, the death of
winter making way for spring. And she

474
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:00.920
asked us if we knew of anything
off top of our head. The one

475
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:06.320
thing I was thinking about is a
Scandinavian fearball. It's fir b o L

476
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:12.800
and it actually happens. They actually
celebrate it up in northern Wisconsin. It's

477
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.239
really neat up Indoor County. They
they build bonfires along the lake and it's

478
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:22.159
the burning of the Winter Witch and
it's this big kind of weekend fun thing.

479
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:24.639
But it's really cool, lots of
bonfires on the lake. And also

480
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:29.480
it sounds kind of scary. Fearball, So f I r b o L.

481
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:30.639
Check that one out that was just
off the top of my head.

482
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.519
Joe, Oh, I'm sorry.
I know so much about Scandinavian lore.

483
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:43.000
He really is, are you there
isn't there a Wiccan holiday called fear Vogue?

484
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.599
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised
if they were extraordinarily closely related.

485
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:49.679
I could be thinking about something else. But she also sent us a really

486
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.800
great link to No. Actually,
I'm sorry it was a terrible link because

487
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:55.639
it didn't work. A link to
her husband's work. Looks like he did

488
00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:04.880
an eleven by five meter eater timber
reconstruction of the opening crawl for the original

489
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:08.400
Star Wars, which sounds amazing.
I would very much like to see that.

490
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.440
So I'll have to maybe see if
I can work around a bad link

491
00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.079
or something here and see what the
heck is going on there. Also,

492
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.960
how about a pun, I'll take
it. Gosh, you are just a

493
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:24.599
best goat girl. You're covering all
the bases. Good God, did you?

494
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.639
She wanted us to know that she's
doing a collaboration with Diggie Toots on

495
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.920
an album coming out this spring that's
called Bleats and Rhymes. Oh yeah,

496
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:42.719
also using her amazing skills of an
artist. And we're gonna put this stuff

497
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:44.880
up on the website. We should
also put it on the Facebook. We

498
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:47.719
can put that. We can do
that. Just got this amazing email the

499
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:57.159
other day. She made ads for
Flora and I Mine is for a very

500
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.880
fine I believe it was supposed to
be. Uh it's either Triple sec or

501
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:06.440
Persecco. It's a it's a really
great art nouveau sort of a sort of

502
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.679
Toulouse Latrek kind of style ad,
which is amazing. It's got my name

503
00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:14.199
in it and everything. We'll put
that up. And Flora, you got

504
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:20.079
Flora dated water ad. Flora,
it's been in your water since the fifties.

505
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:22.920
They are absolutely awesome. We're gonna
put those ups where everyone can see

506
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.559
them. It's on the back,
it's it's the background of my computer.

507
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.480
Now. Oh yeah, m so, thank you so much. Goat girl

508
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:36.199
A k A. Julia the Angel
of Adelaide. What we got next?

509
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:46.000
Laura heard from Jacques Frenchman Jack,
Jacques Jacqueler Oh Jack Jack, Jacques.

510
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:53.039
Sh let's go a shock Shock,
says hello, Jan's uh. Here are

511
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:57.519
three Steccoi isms that she would love
to see on a T shirt. Oh.

512
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:02.519
Number one, this is waters drug
feels like. Number two, this

513
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.920
is a thing that can happen in
science. Number three, that's the voice

514
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:12.719
that tells me to burn things.
Well, I have to say giving credit

515
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.079
words, dude. The third one
is a quote from Ralph Wiggham. No,

516
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:22.599
that'swer I see the LEPRECD. He
tells me to burn things, But

517
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.360
thank you. What's what's that second
one? I can't I don't remember when

518
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:29.280
you said that one. Oh.
Probably it's just the kind of thing that

519
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.400
I would say when discussing something that
I don't know that you have no idea

520
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:36.039
about. No, no, you
know, like I can I can see

521
00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:39.239
myself using that poorly constructed sentence.
I say say, well, well,

522
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:47.079
thank you for the suggesstence. May
we got a great email from Bob.

523
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:52.599
Bob interesting for an Australian show topic. I like how we're I mean,

524
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:55.480
you know what, we keep this
up, We're gonna to come visit Stall.

525
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:59.840
There is to it. Uh,
there's a mystery called the Summerton Man

526
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.679
Mystery. I don't know anything about
it at all, but yeah, thank

527
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:06.800
you, thank you very much,
Bob. See what else we got here

528
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.920
from you, Bob. Bob was
listening to our Black Eyed Kids episode.

529
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:15.960
Yeah, well I should hope so, uh, And he pointed out that

530
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:22.679
obviously Black Eyed Kids lots of discussion
about eye contact, but also, um,

531
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.320
it's you know, for some some
people with some forms of aspergers or

532
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:29.960
things like that, eye contacts a
really big problem. And so it's I

533
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:35.760
mean, obviously you know people who
but there's a lot of social stigma attached

534
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:42.400
to eye contact and that there's a
lot of completely um normal reasons why people

535
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:44.920
don't make eye contact and things like
that, which I think is a good

536
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:46.760
point. Yeah, So thank you
very much, Bob, thanks for pointing

537
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:52.559
out yeah, and thanks for listening. Rock On Johnson it's not Bob Johnson's

538
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:54.559
not Bob's last name. You'll never
find him. We'll never find him.

539
00:43:55.360 --> 00:44:00.519
Dave. Time to look up to
this guy. You got to go us,

540
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:20.639
Kitty. Uh. Lunar Kitty Kitty
has prepared a delicious dish that that

541
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:23.320
has already been served tonight. But
I like the spices in this one too.

542
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:27.360
So many, so many different cooks, so many different takes. Yeah,

543
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:30.480
and and by the time we get
to stuff, of course, things

544
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:36.320
are gonna double up. So's it's
our bad our bad uh. But Lunar

545
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.880
Kitty says, how about the darkly
humorous and cinematic themed cult going on in

546
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:46.159
the frozen Northlands far ago? Cool? Oh, crap, crap, creep,

547
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:52.679
Well done, Well done, Well
done, Kitty. Up next,

548
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:58.000
we've got Connor, formerly the artist
formerly known as the Word Smith, who

549
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:01.400
has decided for this particular letter,
he's It'll be the Monkey's Paw and or

550
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:07.480
Madman? Madman? Is he crazy? He? Is he an ad exact

551
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:17.800
from his sixties? Is the Redhead
m Am? I right? Any week?

552
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:22.079
Lets us know that this time of
year pretty busy for him, and

553
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:28.440
he's had to bank the fires of
the word forage for a little bit well,

554
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:34.159
but he still brings holiday cheer and
the gifts of super pointless superpowers and

555
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:40.719
even a theory popcorn vision the ability
to cook things with microwave radiation. However,

556
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:45.159
due to the radiation inside the eyes
of the individual, depending on the

557
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:49.079
amount of the usage, the eyes
of the individual burst, looking like pop

558
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:53.199
popcorn. This is inevitable. Wow, that is a curse, not a

559
00:45:53.280 --> 00:46:00.239
superpower. Your eyes super explode.
How about X ray vision? To the

560
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:05.440
radiation inside the occular nerves, the
individual develops brain cancer. Other than that

561
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:08.719
standard X ray vision applies. Wow, geez, use it at your risk.

562
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.719
Yeah, yeah, that that is
a monkey's paw. That's true,

563
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:16.920
right in the balls. He's got
a theory here with a Floodmiths consider that

564
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:20.880
due to the global impact and spread
of stories, I believe that they're an

565
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:24.280
early point in man's existence. A
celestial object, even a fraction the size

566
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:28.639
of our moon, could have passed
by the Earth at a close enough proximity,

567
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:34.519
oh to have caused a gravitational pulse
strong enough to create tidal bulging.

568
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:38.719
M interesting. I don't know what
the other ramifications would that be, like

569
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:43.840
tectonically, but h okay, nice
extreme weather all that I think that's a

570
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:46.440
I've never heard that before. I've
never heard that theory. God, I

571
00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:52.760
love that. Thanks Connor and uh
Connor on the on the Cornman videos,

572
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:58.039
Connor's been looking through Stop Flora,
stop talking. Connor has been looking through

573
00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:05.639
David Flora's skillful. He made an
often hilarious Cornman video Productions that who featured

574
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:09.880
just about every single improviser in Chicago, like it's a few No, no,

575
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:13.599
no, I mean, I honestly
think that the Cornman videos are going

576
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:16.239
to be this amazing time capsule of
people who are screamingly famous in ten years.

577
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:19.960
Well that could be true. Those
people will allow you money. One

578
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:23.519
at one of them already has a
deal in the works, said tv Land

579
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:28.519
has worked with Alison Bree whoa so
be looking for that soon. Good on

580
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:31.239
her. So he had a question
about Cornman. Yeah, I want to

581
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:34.719
know which which one you were in? Oh, yeah, we only got

582
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:38.280
you in one. It's the women
in the Workplace video that Davis in.

583
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:47.039
Yeah, I play the sexist executive
a bit of a stretch. So yeah,

584
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:50.519
it's one of one of the more
recent ones. But we haven't done

585
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:53.039
anything for a long time for that, so it shouldn't be too hard to

586
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:55.400
find. Yeah, yeah, but
thanks for looking. Yeah, thanks,

587
00:47:55.440 --> 00:48:00.280
Connor. Got a lot of great
show suggestions from you guys. Um,

588
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:04.199
we're not gonna tell y'all about them, but we're gonna definitely add them to

589
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.320
the list. And we do appreciate
you sending in show suggestions. Thank you

590
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:10.960
very much, because that's you know, there's there's stuff out there that doesn't

591
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:15.000
get to people, but you know
about them from your neck of the woods,

592
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:17.960
and that's kind of why we do
the podcast anyway. Yeah, those

593
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:22.159
are the ones I like the most. And I actually Courtney, uh,

594
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:24.719
I think that we even did.
I think we even did go over the

595
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:30.559
bell witch Does that sound familiar to
crazy? We we all discuss it briefly

596
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:32.480
and we just said the name,
put a slap of paint on it,

597
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:37.519
and left. Yeah it was what
do you what? Even was it?

598
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:40.519
So we haven't done a witchcraft maybe
or something like that, or we haven't

599
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:44.760
done it properly. Yeah, the
name definitely sounds super familiar, so we

600
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:47.159
should circle the wagons back around on
that one. I even feel like it's

601
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.480
something would would hold her GUISTI stuff. I don't know it was, you

602
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:55.159
know, it was weird whatever episode
it was, and heard again from Jose

603
00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:00.199
Josie sends in a great suggestion,
So yeah, thank you guys, and

604
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:06.159
keep those up because we do love
them and try to get to them.

605
00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:15.840

00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:34.159
yeah, awesome, dude, everyone
loves Diatlov. It's such a great frigging

609
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:37.639
mystery of the modern name. Once
we finish reading Dead Mountain and you know,

610
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:40.679
we maybe we circle around, maybe
we do a part too, so

611
00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:45.119
I do a post mortem. Well
I think we do Diatlov second pass.

612
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:51.960
Oh shit, it's already got a
name. Yeah, yeah, So thank

614
00:49:54.880 --> 00:50:00.800
to let us know we appreciate you, sir. Indeed we do what else

615
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:02.440
we got in here? Oh I
don't know. I don't know if we

616
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:12.679
have anything else? Oh my god, if we excited, I am overloading

617
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:21.039
in microphones with my excitement because I
received a letter over my estee, Amigo,

618
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:30.679
don't look, most estimados, charging
Garthiah, I am writing this letter

619
00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:42.480
under some somewhat distressing circumstances. Yeah, my faithful Steed Gordonande he's feeling under

620
00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:46.679
the weather. No GMO. You
know, I hate to inconvenience you,

621
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:51.159
my friend. You see, everyone
heard right there when he said that he

622
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:53.840
was my friend. So all of
your haters who said I was a liar,

623
00:50:54.119 --> 00:51:02.039
you all can go to her.
We are friends, meges, Why

624
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:08.320
have you created this subset of people
that hate hated as your your friends?

625
00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:14.599
Do not understand? Don't look.
You could never understand the twisted mind of

626
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:22.239
a hater? Are these people that
speak of they torment me? You're always

627
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:29.800
differending your your friendship? All right, um, but while he's recovering,

628
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:36.280
would you mind going into town and
hiring a temporary replace my horse? I

629
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:37.320
would not at all. It is
easy. I mean I have a good

630
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:45.480
driver's license and my current history is
Please go to the store where you can

631
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:51.559
get him in Bolk. Oh see, I believe it's called cargo colts.

632
00:51:55.639 --> 00:52:00.400
It was a joke. I am
glad or your horse is he? Is

633
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:04.440
he a good budget? He was
not joking when he said we were friends.

634
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:19.440
Oh those crazy kids life on the
hacienda right right, searching with his

635
00:52:19.559 --> 00:52:25.960
imaginary haters. Zombie Master, the
planet plant potentiary of the Zombie Nation.

636
00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:30.800

or if they're still doing the elections or

637
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:37.320

missed an opportunity with uh season's beatings with

638
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:44.119
Crampus instead of the birch branch.
No birch slap, Bert slap, just

And now and now we would like to

646

get to some listeners submitted spooky story
the serious sales sounds of the listener what

647
00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:40.280
salamander? Salamanders spooky going all the
way back to Halloween when we didn't get

648
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:46.760
around to doing it. Listener Jeff
one of our oldest and most trusted listeners.

649
00:53:47.079 --> 00:53:53.599
Yes, I agree with this to
say story and let's let's get started,

650
00:53:53.679 --> 00:53:57.960
shall we do it? Make sure
you put another log on that fire.

651
00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:00.079
Another you will log. I mean
I just have a log. I

652
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:01.719
mean I don't have a log,
not the way you think I said I

653
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:06.360
had a log. I mean I
just that's it. It's Christmas. You

654
00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:09.599
gotta do it. Jeff writes out
of a personal experience. He had one

655
00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:15.199
lead evening. It was a summer
weekend and he just recently got back from

656
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:20.679
a party. It was around three
am, and he was just happy to

657
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:23.079
get home. Got out of his
car and fumbled with his keys, trying

658
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:27.880
to find the keyhole from the darkness. The house was silent and dark,

659
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:31.199
as he expected due to everyone being
asleep already. He flicked on a switch

660
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:37.119
and routinely removed his shoes before his
jacket, and made his way towards the

661
00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:40.280
staircase leading to the basement. Along
the way, he flicked a switch to

662
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:46.000
turn off the light that illuminated the
vestibule fancy and turned on the light in

663
00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:50.800
the basement stairs. The dark never
seemed to scare him, but for a

664
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:57.000
moment he felt a sudden uneasiness.
He had a feeling that his little brother

665
00:54:57.199 --> 00:55:02.840
was trying to scare him and was
suddenly on guard. He opened the basement

666
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:07.639
door and looked around. He never
turned the lights on in the basement because

667
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:10.440
his room was so close to the
stairs, but it was one of those

668
00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:15.679
evenings that maybe he should have.
He stood still for a second, trying

669
00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:22.400
to find an anomaly in the dark. He did yeah, because of his

670
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:25.480
eyesight not fully transitioning to the dark, he could only make up the shape

671
00:55:25.559 --> 00:55:31.480
of the anomaly. It was small, or rather making itself small. His

672
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:37.039
vision cleared up a bit and he
could see that it was crouching down facing

673
00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:40.440
a corner of the wall. His
shoulders relaxed as he thought it was his

674
00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:45.599
little brother. Something wasn't right,
though, he was naked, and he

675
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:49.159
didn't think that he was as skinny
as the figure. The hell are you

676
00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:52.000
doing, naked, dude, he
screamed at him, while pacing towards the

677
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:57.960
figure. The closer he got,
the more he got worried, because every

678
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:01.760
step he made, the more his
head screamed. That's not your brother.

679
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:07.679
No. He stopped about five feet
away from the figure, and his eyesight

680
00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:10.679
had grown accustomed to the dark,
and he could make out more details.

681
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:17.119
The figure was bald, or rather
balding. Tiny wisps of white hair protruded

682
00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:22.159
from the figures scalp that seemed to
reflect what little light there was in the

683
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:27.000
room, and a pale skin illuminated
much clearer than anything else in the room.

684
00:56:27.760 --> 00:56:30.840
He slowly stepped back when he confirmed
that it definitely was not his brother.

685
00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:37.639
The figure trembled like a child who
just finished crying. No noise came

686
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.840
out of it, and he was
too terrified and confused to scream. He

687
00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:45.360
slowly walked up the stairs, never
turning his back to the door of the

688
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:50.039
basement. That evening he slept in
the car. And he still don't know

689
00:56:50.280 --> 00:56:53.280
what it was. He hasn't seen
it since, and he is glad for

690
00:56:53.440 --> 00:57:00.320
that. He adds a little PostScript
here that he don't know eating a whole

691
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.800
bag of mushrooms that night, Well, no, he says he was tired.

692
00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:07.800
He definitely didn't drink anything, didn't
say anything about mushrooms. But I

693
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:12.280
might have just putting one of those
things that you know, people can't see

694
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:15.679
very well when they keep the lights
off. And maybe it was always there

695
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:22.360
and just didn't notice. All he
knows is that he wasn't about to about

696
00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:25.400
to risk turning the lights on to
startle it. And he asked, any

697
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:32.239
idea what the hell it was?
Hank Hank grimmin haint. I don't know.

698
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:37.480
I feel like it's there. There's
like parts of it that kind of

699
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:40.400
tug at the back of my head, like, but not the whole picture

700
00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:44.599
doesn't all fit one bucket. Yeah, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna I'm

701
00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:47.880
gonna go with a spectral haint,
just a just a straight up paint,

702
00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:53.920
just a just a withered old ghost
crazy. Thank you. Yeah, that's

703
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:59.760
that's her. That's a that's a
spooky story. Yeah. And he also

704
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:06.199
adds that he thinks the blurry photos
listeners should be called glaucoma patients nice because

705
00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:10.199
they're all high. Oh thank you, Jeff, thanks for writing that.

706
00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:16.000
That is definitely creepy and even more
creepy that had happened to you. Oh

707
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:20.920
yeah, those are always the creepier
ones. So that's how we're starting off.

708
00:58:21.079 --> 00:58:23.360
Yeah, all right, I've got
monsters. I got one from little

709
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:31.719
Miss Bones, isn't she the Dickens. Little Miss Bones added again the pretty

710
00:58:31.760 --> 00:58:37.840
little dress, ribbons in her hair, that little red wagon houlding all those

711
00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:40.960
bones in it. You're gonna get
fail fate, look at little mith Bones.

712
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:47.360
She's a big fan of the podcast
and her and her husband both and

713
00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:52.079
her friends. Wow, thank you

00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:55.039
she got married on Halloween this year, which is pretty cool. I like

715
00:58:55.199 --> 00:59:01.960
that and looking forward to celebrating their
first smiths. Um. Yes see that.

716
00:59:02.079 --> 00:59:06.679
Everybody, everybody, it's catching on. It's catching on and getting on

717
00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:10.000
the ground floor. I got a
couple of she goes, We got a

718
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:15.159

dishes to the mean spooky entree. Really

00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:21.440
about mundane superpower? Oh nice appitizer

00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:35.079
bathrooms. That's that's glorious. Wow. Wolf curse. Uh the ability to

721
00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:44.280
run at superhuman speed, but only
on treadmills. Uh, superhuman strength,

722
00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:51.960
but only when handling baby animals.
Oh wow, that's the Uh, that's

00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:59.599
that's the man power. Oh that's
awesome. Wow. All right, enough

724
00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:02.840
with the funny ha ha. Now
it's time for the Oh no, it's

725
01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:13.559
time for the scary tea. Her
story is entitled Flora Papa Love from Wilma's

726
01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:23.840
bound. I just keep imagining like
a black haired Shirley Temple. Eight PM.

727
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:28.000
That should do it for today,
Jamie said, whilst letting out a

728
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:30.840
deep breath and closing all the programs
she had opened on her computer. It

729
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:34.639
had been a long week and she
was looking forward to the quiet weekend she

730
01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:37.760
had planned for herself while her housemate
was away seeing his parents. With her

731
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:42.239
busy job in the advertising company taking
up most of the time during the week,

732
01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:45.280
she wanted nothing more than to just
sleep all weekend. Once her computer

733
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:49.960
scream dropped a black she sat back
in the seat and stretched her arms above

734
01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:52.679
her head. She led it a
big, loud yawn and was instantly relieved

735
01:00:52.719 --> 01:01:00.039
to see the office. Was instantly
relieved to see the office was empty as

736
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:05.400
the noise resonated against the cubicle walls. Ready to go home, Jamie looked

737
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:07.800
under her desk and gently nudged her
service dog, Charlie, against his black

738
01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:10.519
leg with her foot. He was
awake, but it was going to be

739
01:01:10.599 --> 01:01:15.800
hard to get him moving as usual. Charlie had been with Jamie for almost

740
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:19.199
five years. Who's the service person
here? Here? Ray? Am I

741
01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:23.000
ready? Charlie had been with Jamie
for almost five years, and was more

742
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:27.440
than comfortable being asleep under her desk
in the office while she worked late into

743
01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:30.280
the night. Charlie was a seven
year old pure black German shepherd who came

744
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:35.280
into Jamie's life shortly after she had
been discharged from the hospital following a near

745
01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:38.880
fatal car accident. Jamie suffered from
ongoing pros traumatic stress disorder, and the

746
01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:43.079
addition of Charlie into her life meant
that she not only had a furry helper

747
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:46.199
around the house, but also comfort
whenever she needed it. When Charlie sensed

748
01:01:46.239 --> 01:01:50.519
anything was wrong with Jamie, he
would immediately become attentive and provide her with

749
01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:52.880
reassuring licks on her hand. Jamie
stood up, cracked her back, and

750
01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:57.039
started packing her desk for the evening. She put all of her pens in

751
01:01:57.119 --> 01:02:00.039
the whole penholder and locked her desk
drawers with the the desk key. Charlie

752
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:04.280
let out a long groan and started
preparing himself to leave as well, by

753
01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:07.000
stretching out his legs and shaking his
fur, scattering little black hairs all over

754
01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:12.159
the floor. She patted his ears, feeling the velvet fur roll through her

755
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:15.440
fingers. He yawned and stared attentively. All right, let's go home,

756
01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:22.880
he said, it's a talking dog, she said. The office was only

757
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:24.920
a short walk from her home,
but she didn't mind. The warm summer

758
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:29.639
breeze and gradually fading sunlight encouraged her
to take her time. She had the

759
01:02:29.679 --> 01:02:32.079
whole weekend ahead of her to relax, and she was keen to unwind.

760
01:02:32.360 --> 01:02:36.920
As she began walking away from the
office, she took her hair out of

761
01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:40.199
the tight ponytail and ruffered her ruffled
her hair loose. Charlie gave a little

762
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:45.639
shake himself and started towards home.
About ten minutes into the walk and many

763
01:02:45.760 --> 01:02:49.800
tree stops later, the night was
almost completely upon Jamie and Charlie. The

764
01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:52.480
lights in the streets shone bright,
with their home finely visible in the distance.

765
01:02:53.119 --> 01:02:57.800
Suddenly, the sound of broken glass
came from behind them. Jamie turned

766
01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:04.000
quickly in the calm of the disintegrating
flashbacks of the glass from her windshield chattering

767
01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:07.679
into her face, screeching tires,
and the impact of the truck smashing into

768
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:10.480
her car ran through her mind.
Jamie stopped in her tracks, the cold

769
01:03:10.559 --> 01:03:15.800
feeling of fear instantly prickling over her
skin, feeling his leash, holding him

770
01:03:15.800 --> 01:03:19.440
back. Charlie walked back towards Jamie
nudged against her legs as she stood there,

771
01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:22.000
frozen on the spot, and gave
her hands a lick. Probably just

772
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:27.280
someone overshooting their bins with their recycling, Jamie told herself. I'm okay,

773
01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:29.880
pop, Let's get home, she
said, while giving him a reassuring and

774
01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:32.519
thankful pat on the head. Jamie
couldn't shake the prickles from her skin for

775
01:03:32.599 --> 01:03:36.559
the rest of the short walk home. She knew it was probably nothing,

776
01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:38.559
but she couldn't help but feel unsure. No matter what it was. The

777
01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:42.920
sound of glass breaking was always something
that set her on edge, so she

778
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:45.840
continued to look over her shoulder.
Stopping at the last curb before their block,

779
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:51.280
Charlie sat obediently and obediently, and
Jamie took another look over her shoulder.

780
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:53.880
She could see other people walking their
dogs and what looked like a person

781
01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:58.320
wearing a black hoodie walking on the
opposite side of the street with a bottle

782
01:03:58.360 --> 01:04:01.519
of something in hand. Classy Friday
night drinks, she thought to herself as

783
01:04:01.559 --> 01:04:06.079
she watched the figure stumble and lean
into a fence. The figure swigged from

784
01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:11.079
the bottle and brought their head down
and immediately looked in Jamie's direction. It

785
01:04:11.239 --> 01:04:14.280
unnerved her how she couldn't see the
person's face and quickly turned the key,

786
01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:17.719
and it's a devil. Devil,
baby out, it's a devil. It's

787
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:23.400
a dowel debble baby. It's not
like she's going to the dance. Okay,

788
01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:28.079
that's where the devil is. She
unnerved her that she couldn't see the

789
01:04:28.119 --> 01:04:30.719
person's face, and she quickly turned
the key in the door and let herself

790
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:34.559
and Charlie inside. Jamie unclicked Charlie's
leash from his harness and gave his hair

791
01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:39.239
and gave the hair on his shoulders
a scratch. He sat down and lifted

792
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:42.920
his paw, requesting permission to be
off duty. Jamie smiled, shaking his

793
01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:45.960
paw and passing Charlie's favorite stuff bear
to play with. It was already getting

794
01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:48.360
late in the evening, so Jamie
went to the kitchen, put a frozen

795
01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:51.440
meal on the microwave, and poured
herself a glass of merlot. She closed

796
01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:55.400
the curtains throughout the house and served
up Charlie's dinner in the kitchen, just

797
01:04:55.599 --> 01:04:59.199
in time for the microwave to finish
while Charlie ate. Jamie set herself up

798
01:04:59.239 --> 01:05:01.119
in the lounge room and put on
the TV channel, surfing while eating her

799
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:04.880
food. Soon enough, Charlie was
at her feet again. Her eyelids started

800
01:05:04.880 --> 01:05:08.719
to get heavy. Close to midnight, and after a few hours of relaxing

801
01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:11.599
on the couch, it was time
for bed. She had a quick shower,

802
01:05:11.679 --> 01:05:14.760
brush her teeth, and jumped under
the covers. Charlie watched her calmly

803
01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:16.719
from the bedroom floor. Good Night, Charlie, sweet dreams, she said

804
01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:20.199
sleepily. As she lay her head
down on her pillows. Her hand fell

805
01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:24.519
to the side of the bed and
she felt the warm, reassuring licks once

806
01:05:24.639 --> 01:05:27.719
more. As she dozed off.
Jamie awoke with a start. Her eyes

807
01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:30.679
were wide open, her head still
on the pillow, and her heart was

808
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:32.960
racing. She felt a cold sweat
all over her body under the dubay.

809
01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:36.800
It was still dark outside, and
the lack of a clock in her room

810
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:41.400
made it impossible to tell the time, although she could hear crickets. Was

811
01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:45.079
she dreaming? She could have sworn
she was awoken by the sound of breaking

812
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:47.719
glass. Panic said in as she
tried to find the line between reality and

813
01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:50.519
dreaming. Her hand fell over the
side of the bed, where she had

814
01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:55.000
heard the familiar jingle of Charlie's name
tag on the floorboards, and felt the

815
01:05:55.079 --> 01:05:58.480
soft, formed lick of his tongue
on her hand. Feeling this, Jamie

816
01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:01.880
quickly fell back into unconscious next the
next morning, Jamie awoke. The sun

817
01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:04.840
was beating through the dark curtains,
as she figured it had to be almost

818
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:09.360
midday by the warmth of the room. She stretched in bed, stared at

819
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:11.679
the ceiling, and decided to get
up and spend the day on the couch

820
01:06:11.719 --> 01:06:14.519
with Charlie. She sat up on
the edge of the bed and noticed something

821
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:17.079
odd. Charlie's collar was sitting in
the middle of the doorway to her room.

822
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:23.039
Charlie, come here, boy nothing
Alarmed, she rose from her bed

823
01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:27.800
and quickly approached the collar. It
had been cut off Roughly. Jamie's heart

824
01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:31.159
began racing. Holding the collar,
her hands started shaking. Charlie, she

825
01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:35.039
called louder. Still nothing. She
stepped out of her room into the hallway

826
01:06:35.239 --> 01:06:39.760
and looked around for Charlie. Did
I shut the bathroom door last night,

827
01:06:40.079 --> 01:06:43.679
she thought to herself. Without hesitation, she rushed to the door, convinced

828
01:06:43.719 --> 01:06:46.559
that Charlie had locked himself inside by
accident. Bursting through the bathroom door,

829
01:06:46.679 --> 01:06:51.119
Jamie led a series of horrified and
pained screams. Charlie's severed head was hanging

830
01:06:51.159 --> 01:06:56.440
above her bathroom mirror, mouth open
and tongue removed, smeared and blood.

831
01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:01.519
Across the mirror was a message just
for her humans lick two the end.

832
01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:11.880
Boh, why why do the dog
have to die? Or Charlie? Yeah,

833
01:07:12.519 --> 01:07:16.559
oh that dog. Oh creepy,
super creepy. Thank you, little

834
01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:21.199
miss bones, little miss bones,
oh looking licking all nam bones and your

835
01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:27.920
little red wagon you got You got
the idea from looking at chicken, chicken

836
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:30.400
licking, chicken lincing, little miss
bones. All right, now, so

837
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:35.239
what do you what do you get? Well, as promised, more liking,

838
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:42.480
more licking, more licking. I
too have a story that I made

839
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:48.280
up. I invented it myself.
Yeah uh, and this story is called

840
01:07:48.400 --> 01:08:00.880
apocryphal e. The attic, The
attic That's so weird. John and his

841
01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:05.679
wife Alice collapsed exhausted on the sofa
in their brand new living room. It

842
01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:10.039
had been a long day of moving
all their possessions into their new home.

843
01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:14.920
They didn't really necessarily want to move
to Portland, but with John's work,

844
01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:16.720
it was too good an opportunity to
pass up, and it forced them to

845
01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:21.079
buy a house faster than they would
have liked. But the people they bought

846
01:08:21.119 --> 01:08:25.479
the house from seemed nice enough,
and the price was lower than they expected

847
01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:28.920
to pay, and once they had
all their possessions in it already started to

848
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:32.079
feel like a home. The days
passed with the normal slow unpacking of all

849
01:08:32.159 --> 01:08:35.600
the boxes and things that they didn't
even think they needed and couldn't believe they

850
01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:40.800
brought with them halfway across the country. One afternoon, as Alice was bringing

851
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:44.960
boxes up to the attic area,
she noticed something that she thought was more

852
01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:49.600
architectural than spooky. Every time she
stepped into the attic, everything else seemed

853
01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:55.119
to get very quiet, as though
the attic itself was insulated from the rest

854
01:08:55.199 --> 01:08:59.439
of the house. She noticed that
even if her husband was in mid conversation

855
01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:02.399
the moment she entered the attic area, his voice dropped to about a quarter

856
01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:06.199
of the volume. She had him
come up there and he reported the same

857
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:11.039
thing when she spoke from the bottom
of the ladder. Both thinking it was

858
01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:14.000
just a peculiarity of the house,
they just laughed it off and moved on.

859
01:09:16.199 --> 01:09:19.720
I said, we're moving on.
A week later, John was awoken

860
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:26.039
by just the quietest sound in the
night, so quiet he wasn't entirely certain

861
01:09:26.079 --> 01:09:29.479
that he'd heard it himself, so
he just laid in bed, still,

862
01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:32.800
listening to the sounds of the house
settle, and then he was positive he

863
01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:38.199
heard the rattling of the of the
attic door. Not loud, not violent,

864
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:42.479
but he's certain that he heard it. He rolled over and nudged Alice,

865
01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:46.359
not wanting to go by himself that
macho stuff. If something weird happened

866
01:09:46.359 --> 01:09:49.399
in the house, he wanted Alice
with him. One time in a bar,

867
01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:54.039
she flipped out and broke a guy's
nose. That's when he knew he

868
01:09:54.119 --> 01:09:58.079
loved her. She was not happy
to be woken up, but the moment

869
01:09:58.199 --> 01:10:02.279
that so broke. She was not
happy to be woken up, but he

870
01:10:02.399 --> 01:10:05.960
told her just to lay still,
and sure enough, a few seconds later,

871
01:10:06.119 --> 01:10:10.840
she also heard it. They both
ventured out into the hallway and looked

872
01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:14.439
up at the hatch that led to
the attic. It was the old sort

873
01:10:14.439 --> 01:10:17.479
of attic where you pulled the ring
and the door would slide down with the

874
01:10:17.880 --> 01:10:23.159
latter sliding out of it and just
staring at it. Nothing happened. John

875
01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:26.960
thought it would be hilarious to suddenly
say boo. John got punched in the

876
01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:31.880
stomach, broke his stomach, broke
his stomach, But it did diffuse the

877
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:35.000
tension, because at that point both
of them were very nervous and weren't going

878
01:10:35.039 --> 01:10:39.840
to get back to sleep very easily. They turned around and started to make

879
01:10:39.840 --> 01:10:44.000
their way back to the bedroom when
they heard it rattle again. They froze

880
01:10:44.640 --> 01:10:47.720
and slowly turned to look at the
attic door. It didn't move at all,

881
01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:55.079
but then they heard something else entirely
come in the attic. At first,

882
01:10:55.479 --> 01:10:58.760
Alice almost punched John again, thinking
he was messing with her, but

883
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:00.800
when she turned and saw the look
on his face, she realized that they

884
01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:06.159
had both heard the same thing.
It's safe in the attic. Both of

885
01:11:06.239 --> 01:11:12.479
them stood frozen. They couldn't understand
what they were hearing or what could be

886
01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:16.000
making it. It seemed to come
from everywhere and nowhere. It was a

887
01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:21.840
sound that they couldn't pinpoint. They
stood frozen for seconds, which dragged into

888
01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:26.880
minutes, and then nothing. No
more rattling at the door, no more

889
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:30.920
sounds. Realizing that there was no
way in hell they were going to go

890
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:33.359
back to sleep. They went down
to the kitchen, made some coffee and

891
01:11:33.439 --> 01:11:38.680
decided to talk about what the hell
just happened. While they were both terrified,

892
01:11:38.880 --> 01:11:43.640
and neither of them considered themselves inclined
to believe in ghosts, they clearly

893
01:11:43.760 --> 01:11:46.720
had just had an encounter with one. How would this affect their lives?

894
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:49.159
Do they move out of the house, do they stay in the house.

895
01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:53.760
Is this something that's going to happen
all the time? Will it always be

896
01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:57.079
that quiet? Or is it just
going to get worse? Because no matter

897
01:11:57.199 --> 01:12:00.399
how you cut it, no matter
what they say as bodied voice is going

898
01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:04.199
to keep people from sleeping. They
contacted the old woman that they'd bought their

899
01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:09.039
house from and left messages for her, as well as emails they'd gotten no

900
01:12:09.239 --> 01:12:14.000
response. While John was at his
new job, Alice decided to start to

901
01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:16.159
investigate the history of the house to
see if maybe that would shed any light

902
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:21.560
on what they'd heard. She'd heard
enough really awesome ghost stories. She'd heard

903
01:12:21.640 --> 01:12:26.720
enough ghost stories to know that there's
always some record about a hundred people getting

904
01:12:26.800 --> 01:12:30.600
murdered or an axe lunatic that would
always explain ghosts in a house, But

905
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:35.640
unfortunately, the records on this house
were extraordinarily complete. It wasn't even a

906
01:12:35.720 --> 01:12:41.600
very old house, sixty years and
nothing had ever happened there. It had

907
01:12:41.640 --> 01:12:45.560
had three previous owners, and all
of them had been families, with no

908
01:12:45.039 --> 01:12:50.520
reports of anything. This is the
devil. Alice is the devil. She

909
01:12:50.680 --> 01:12:58.359
beats her husband. Despite their misgivings, the house remained completely silent for days,

910
01:12:58.399 --> 01:13:01.640
which turned to weeks and even and
they had almost just written the entire

911
01:13:01.720 --> 01:13:05.680
thing off as exhaustion from the move, or perhaps they had just drank some

912
01:13:05.800 --> 01:13:10.840
bad wine. Neither of them really
believe that, but it's easier to say

913
01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:13.640
than to wonder what the ghost is
in your house is going to do next.

914
01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:17.359
It was eight months later when they
were both awakened by a pounding noise,

915
01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:23.199
not from the attic, but from
the downstairs. The first thought through

916
01:13:23.239 --> 01:13:27.880
both of their minds was the ghost, but this was entirely different from what

917
01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:31.159
they'd experienced before. It was a
loud, blunt noise, and a very

918
01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:34.520
strange part of John's mind was almost
relieved to think, oh, we're just

919
01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:40.199
getting burglarized. John had always kept
a baseball bat next to his bed ever

920
01:13:40.279 --> 01:13:45.600
since his college days and the big
game against Midveil. They rolled out of

921
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:49.159
bed and he grabbed the bat.
Thinking it over briefly, he handed it

922
01:13:49.199 --> 01:13:54.600
to Alice. She looked at him
questioningly, and he urgently whispered, they're

923
01:13:54.600 --> 01:13:57.760
going to expect me to come at
them, never see it from you.

924
01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:01.720
They opened their bedroom door and made
their way down the hallway. The repetitive

925
01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:06.399
pounding from downstairs hadn't stopped, but
in the hallway there was another sound.

926
01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:13.000
It was the attic door. Come
into the attic. It's safe in the

927
01:14:13.079 --> 01:14:18.319
attic. Showing an uncharacteristic amount of
calm, John grabbed Alice and said burglars

928
01:14:18.399 --> 01:14:23.960
first, and they made their way
downstairs. The pounding sound was actually coming

929
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:27.159
from the back door by the kitchen. There was a door that led under

930
01:14:27.199 --> 01:14:30.680
their back porch, and also one
that led downstairs into the basement. But

931
01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:33.680
it was evident before they'd even made
it entirely through their kitchen it was the

932
01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:39.439
basement door that was making all the
noise. Something was pounding at it forcefully

933
01:14:39.600 --> 01:14:43.880
and repetitively. It's too regular to
be an animal. What the hell,

934
01:14:44.720 --> 01:14:47.359
John said. Alice motioned for him
to get to the door and open it

935
01:14:47.439 --> 01:14:50.520
so that she could instantly hit whoever
was on the other side with her bat

936
01:14:51.000 --> 01:14:55.560
John said, one, we just
call the police. Alice said, we'll

937
01:14:55.600 --> 01:14:58.600
be dead by the time the police
get here, which test set off something

938
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:01.000
of a brief argument between the two. Two of them. The entire time,

939
01:15:01.079 --> 01:15:05.279
the pounding continued on the door,
each time the door splintering a little

940
01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:10.760
bit more, getting slightly more loose
in its frame, at first inaudible.

941
01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:14.359
Between their harsh, whispered bickering and
the pounding on the door, there was

942
01:15:14.399 --> 01:15:18.159
another sound in the kitchen, growing
in volume. Come into the attic.

943
01:15:18.800 --> 01:15:25.760
Come into the attic. It was
almost insistent, pleading. John positioned himself

944
01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:29.800
and started to reach for the doorknob. His hand was halfway to it when

945
01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:33.000
they heard a clatter from upstairs.
They recognized the sound. It was the

946
01:15:33.079 --> 01:15:39.199
sound of the attic opening, now
even louder, more insistent, It's safe

947
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:43.600
in the attic. Come into the
attic. They stared at each other for

948
01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:46.680
a moment, unsure as to what
to do. Why was everything happening all

949
01:15:46.760 --> 01:15:51.000
at once. Alice briefly thought of
grabbing John and just running out the front

950
01:15:51.039 --> 01:15:55.119
door, but they knew eventually they'd
have to come back, and how would

951
01:15:55.119 --> 01:15:57.840
they even explain this to any one? They had to know what was happening

952
01:15:57.840 --> 01:16:00.279
in order to deal with it,
so she nudged on to open the door.

953
01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:04.800
She drew the baseball bat back as
John's hand was inches from the door.

954
01:16:05.239 --> 01:16:11.079
It gave well, and what was
behind it wasn't anything she could recognize.

955
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:14.560
It was a black mass that had
been pushing on the entire door.

956
01:16:15.079 --> 01:16:18.439
It didn't have a definitive edge.
It was just darkness. It just seemed

957
01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:21.359
to eat the light anything that was
shining upon it. There was no shadow,

958
01:16:21.439 --> 01:16:25.600
there was nothing. The door was
thrown open with such force that it

959
01:16:25.680 --> 01:16:30.000
knocked John into the opposite wall,
stunning him and knocking him over. Alice

960
01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:31.960
screamed and swung the baseball bat,
but it just passed right through it,

961
01:16:32.399 --> 01:16:35.800
as there was nothing there at all. She tried to grab John, but

962
01:16:35.920 --> 01:16:40.520
he was too stunned to stand.
He couldn't understand what was happening, and

963
01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:45.079
he just kept saying what The shape
from the basement was pouring out of the

964
01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:48.159
door like fog. A wisp of
it fell across her hand and it burned.

965
01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:53.000
It burned like acid. She pulled
her hand back with a scream and

966
01:16:53.079 --> 01:16:55.720
tried to grab John and to drag
him out of the way, but he

967
01:16:55.840 --> 01:16:59.279
was too heavy and he was wedged
in the doorframe. While she was screaming

968
01:16:59.319 --> 01:17:00.680
to try to get him to stand
up, she heard the voice again,

969
01:17:01.119 --> 01:17:05.520
the loudest she'd ever heard it.
Come into the attic. It's safe in

970
01:17:05.560 --> 01:17:11.920
the attic. Another tendril from the
basement touched her leg, blisters instantly appearing

971
01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:15.840
on her skin. She had to
let John go and she ran. She

972
01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:18.000
bolted through the living room into the
front door and found that she couldn't open

973
01:17:18.039 --> 01:17:21.399
it. It wasn't that the door
was locked. The knob wouldn't even turn,

974
01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:26.920
It was simply fixed closed. She
understood now that whatever was in the

975
01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:30.720
house was not going to let her
leave. Alice was always a very pragmatic

976
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:32.880
woman. She turned from the front
door, looking up the stairs to the

977
01:17:32.920 --> 01:17:36.399
second floor and could just see at
the end of the hallway the open hatch

978
01:17:36.479 --> 01:17:41.720
to the attic. With no other
options left, Alice decided to take her

979
01:17:41.760 --> 01:17:45.000
baseball bat up to the attic.
As she moved up the stairs, she

980
01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:47.560
felt a lightning in her footsteps,
as though she was being helped towards the

981
01:17:47.640 --> 01:17:50.920
ladder. She made it up in
half the time she wouldn't have normally,

982
01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:56.159
and the moment she was clear and
in the attic, the ladder withdrew and

983
01:17:56.279 --> 01:18:02.199
the door closed. Then silence.
The pounding downstairs had stopped. She waited

984
01:18:02.239 --> 01:18:06.640
for a few seconds, still nothing, and decided she had to go back

985
01:18:06.680 --> 01:18:11.000
for John. She tried to open
the door, but just like the front

986
01:18:11.039 --> 01:18:15.039
door, it was just sealed.
It wouldn't move, The hinges wouldn't rattle,

987
01:18:15.279 --> 01:18:18.560
the handle didn't make any noise.
It was simply immovable. She screamed

988
01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:24.520
John's name for hours, until finally
the adrenaline wore off a no exhaustion overtook

989
01:18:24.560 --> 01:18:28.399
her. When she woke the next
morning, the hatch opened easily. She

990
01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:31.600
went downstairs and found no sign of
her husband. The door was still broken

991
01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:35.199
out. She still had blisters on
her leg and hand, but there was

992
01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:39.479
no sign of John. She refused
to go into the basement herself, so

993
01:18:39.600 --> 01:18:42.840
she called the police. They did
a thorough search of the house and found

994
01:18:42.920 --> 01:18:45.800
nothing. In the days that followed, they'd even tried tracking down the previous

995
01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:48.520
owner of the home, only to
find that all the documents supplied by the

996
01:18:48.600 --> 01:18:53.039
previous owner had been falsified, and
though one could find no one, not

997
01:18:53.119 --> 01:18:56.520
even the neighbors could tell for sure
who had lived there. The devil,

998
01:18:56.920 --> 01:19:00.840
the devil. As the investigation continued, one of the one of the detectives,

999
01:19:01.159 --> 01:19:04.520
while searching the attic, found a
single word carved in the wood of

1000
01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:11.800
the attic Sanctuary. Alice never spent
another night in the house and eventually abandoned

1001
01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:14.720
it all together. No sign was
ever found of her husband, and she

1002
01:19:14.800 --> 01:19:17.920
never had an explanation for it,
except for the nagging belief that she should

1003
01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:20.479
have just hit They should have just
gone to the attic when they were told

1004
01:19:20.560 --> 01:19:26.079
to. A few months later,
a couple looking for their first home ran

1005
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:29.239
across the att of a kindly old
woman. It was a nice house in

1006
01:19:29.319 --> 01:19:31.680
a good neighborhood, and she was
asking less than they'd anticipated having to pay,

1007
01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:38.399
so they decided to take her up
on the offer. The end.

1008
01:19:39.279 --> 01:19:43.439
There you go. I I wrote
a ghost story. I feel about it.

1009
01:19:43.640 --> 01:19:45.640
I'm not I'm not wild about it. It's not my thing. I

1010
01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:49.960
actually that's the third story I wrote
for this. I wrote two other stories,

1011
01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:57.600
and none of them turned out to
be ghost stories at all. Yeah,

1012
01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:00.239
this one, this one's definitely creepier
than the other ones. You're that's

1013
01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:03.680
a little better. Not there yet, though, You're You're way better at

1014
01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:08.800
this, Flora. Your stories were
awesome. Well, no, I think

1015
01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:11.880
you're you're harder on yourself than you
need to be. Everybody you don't know

1016
01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:15.600
why? Oh God? All right, We've got one more here. Sweet.

1017
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:25.800
This is from listener Annie. She
sounds hot back off. The story

1018
01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:33.279
is called boogety boo, bugginty boo. I'll scare your dad. What do

1019
01:20:33.359 --> 01:20:36.880
you want to do, asked Brad. A zoom zimzim in a boom boom

1020
01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:46.000
boo, Wow, and we're off. I want to do whatever you want

1021
01:20:46.039 --> 01:20:49.520
to do, responded Mary. Chris
wanted to shoot himself, listening to his

1022
01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:55.920
best friends turned couple bickering again.
Luckily, at that moment, a spaceship

1023
01:20:56.039 --> 01:21:01.880
crashed onto his farm. What the
hell, exclaimed Brad, What was that?

1024
01:21:02.079 --> 01:21:09.319
Mary said, bro The three of
them approached the spaceship cautiously. They

1025
01:21:09.359 --> 01:21:13.640
all knew what it was, but
felt stupid, saying out loud, wait,

1026
01:21:13.720 --> 01:21:16.640
we probably shouldn't get too close,
Mary warned, come on, babe,

1027
01:21:16.720 --> 01:21:20.319
don't. Chris didn't hear the rest
of the conversation. He was very

1028
01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:26.159
good at tuning them out. He
slowly stepped over the debris. As he

1029
01:21:26.239 --> 01:21:30.199
approached the ship. It felt very
hot. He was sweating. He looked

1030
01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:33.479
from left to right, but the
entire outside of the ship was just smooth

1031
01:21:33.560 --> 01:21:39.119
metal. There was no door handle
or button, nothing to show an entrance.

1032
01:21:39.479 --> 01:21:44.039
He pressed his hand on it and
it was surprisingly cool and liquidy.

1033
01:21:44.800 --> 01:21:50.479
He pressed harder and felt his hand
disappear into this weird metallic jello. Soon

1034
01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:55.720
his whole arm was through metallic jello
yellow. Really great name for a band.

1035
01:21:56.960 --> 01:22:00.119
Soon his whole arm was through.
He could feel that it was only

1036
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:03.920
a thin layer before being on the
other side, so he took a couple

1037
01:22:03.960 --> 01:22:08.800
of breaths, held his breath and
pushed his whole body into the ship.

1038
01:22:10.800 --> 01:22:14.640
He could hear Mary and Brad yelling
at him, but had got muffled on

1039
01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:17.880
his way through. There was a
faint greenish light, but it was dark,

1040
01:22:18.359 --> 01:22:21.920
so it took his eyes a moment
to adjust. While he waited for

1041
01:22:21.960 --> 01:22:27.880
them to adjust, he became aware
of the smell of chlorine and barbecue.

1042
01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:34.039
You know, chlorine and barbecue.
His eyes started making out shapes. The

1043
01:22:34.159 --> 01:22:40.159
inside looked surprisingly empty. No seats, no control boards, nothing to suggest

1044
01:22:40.199 --> 01:22:45.000
the ability to make this vehicle fly. There were bodies, though, five

1045
01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:49.079
of them, all collapsed on the
floor completely still. Chris carefully approached the

1046
01:22:49.119 --> 01:22:54.680
body closest to him. It sort
of looked like a jellyfish and an orc

1047
01:22:54.880 --> 01:22:59.880
from the Lord of the Rings movie
had had a child. It was big,

1048
01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:03.279
but it also looked slimy and transparent. You could see all the organs

1049
01:23:03.319 --> 01:23:09.000
and inner workings of the creature.
Chris couldn't help but be struck how terribly

1050
01:23:09.119 --> 01:23:13.840
still, everything was except a pool
of blue liquid that continued to grow in

1051
01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:17.720
the alien's chest. He slowly worked
his way from one body to the next,

1052
01:23:18.319 --> 01:23:21.880
making sure they were dead. There
was no reason for him to know

1053
01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:27.199
if this alien was actually alive or
dead, but he knew, just like

1054
01:23:27.399 --> 01:23:30.640
you know a person is dead and
not sleeping. He could tell something was

1055
01:23:30.760 --> 01:23:36.039
missing, something was no longer there. He approached the last body. It

1056
01:23:36.239 --> 01:23:40.319
was different than the other four.
He guessed it was a female, or

1057
01:23:40.640 --> 01:23:44.199
the male, or at least the
gender that the others weren't. He knelt

1058
01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:47.439
down and noticed that she was holding
a much smaller body. She was trying

1059
01:23:47.560 --> 01:23:51.560
to use her body as a shield
to protect her child did at work.

1060
01:23:53.439 --> 01:23:58.199
Chris started to cry. Brad was
pissed off. He wanted to call the

1061
01:23:58.279 --> 01:24:01.079
police, but Mary insisted it would
be too late and made him go after

1062
01:24:01.199 --> 01:24:05.600
Chris himself. They had yelled at
him to stop, but Chris never listens.

1063
01:24:06.640 --> 01:24:11.640
Brad pushed himself through the wall,
like he saw Chris do, Chris,

1064
01:24:12.199 --> 01:24:15.199
Chris, let's get out of here. We should at least get gloves

1065
01:24:15.279 --> 01:24:17.560
on in a mask. You know, this is how all the Native Americans

1066
01:24:17.640 --> 01:24:23.319
died. Was the spaceship full of
blankets. Brad covered his face with his

1067
01:24:23.399 --> 01:24:27.720
T shirt. He didn't want to
get whatever diseases these aliens were carrying.

1068
01:24:28.239 --> 01:24:30.119
He saw Chris right in front of
him, ignoring him, like always,

1069
01:24:30.760 --> 01:24:34.000
don't make me drag you out of
here, he yelled. Brad got right

1070
01:24:34.039 --> 01:24:38.840
in front of Chris and noticed that
his eyes were rolled back and his head

1071
01:24:39.000 --> 01:24:44.079
was bent upward. He examined Chris
a little longer and felt dumb for not

1072
01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:49.520
noticing this right away. Chris was
floating two inches off the ground. Oh

1073
01:24:50.560 --> 01:24:56.000
man. Mary was worried. She
didn't know what to do in situations like

1074
01:24:56.119 --> 01:25:02.439
this, or in situations in general. Burn She heard the strange gel sound.

1075
01:25:02.600 --> 01:25:06.119
The ship made as Brad pushed his
way out of it. Chris is

1076
01:25:06.199 --> 01:25:11.319
possessed by a dead alien? What? All the aliens on the ship are

1077
01:25:11.359 --> 01:25:14.800
dead and one of them has possessed
Chris? Or this farm is actually an

1078
01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:19.680
ancient burial ground that was disturbed by
the crash. But I doubt that Chris

1079
01:25:19.840 --> 01:25:25.720
is possessed by an alien? Yes? What do we do find out?

1080
01:25:25.840 --> 01:25:30.000
Next time? On blurry photos?
Listener mill what they do? Cliffhanger?

1081
01:25:30.239 --> 01:25:42.640
It's a cliffhanger? What a punch
in the balls? Continue? Thank you,

1082
01:25:42.960 --> 01:25:47.199
Eddie? What happens to Chris?
Will Brad and Mary? Just a

1083
01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:53.680
yeah? I think it's pretty clear
that Chris is into either Brad or Mary?

1084
01:25:53.840 --> 01:25:58.079
Oh but not both? Wow?
Both one or the other. Well,

1085
01:25:58.159 --> 01:26:01.239
thank you everybody for ratting in.

1090
01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:26.359

the other side of the Christmas holiday
with our one hundredth episode. It's not

1093
01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:42.520
overstating to say that your life will
never be the same. It's not understating

1094
01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:46.159
to say nothing will ever be the
same. It is the single greatest moment

1095
01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:50.560
in human achievement, and we'll see
what we can do for that. It's
