Hey, everybody, Ella here this is the grand finale of this podcast.
Thank you all so much for listening along the way, and be sure to
stick around until the very end of this episode because we have some special surprises
and some parting gifts. But without further ado, on with the finale.
Take me back to the Place signed with the Mystery Shack and the forests.
I'm already back, so come on, let's go. Don't get me started.
My heart's rapedy me. Take me back to the place I know with
the Mystery Shack and the poorest gnomes. I'm already backs. Come on,
let's go, don't get me started. My heart's in Gravity First. Welcome
to Mystery Shack. Look back. A nostalgic time capsule and no spoiler book
club of the original Gravity Falls Phantom. We we are your curators. I'm
Ella, I'm Shelby. Where are we well, Charlie, We're We're in
the last episode of this podcast. Generally speaking, there might be others later
eventually, but as far as the main run of this podcast is concerned,
this is the last. Yeah, this is the last bit of canon Gravity
Falls material. There is yeah that as of this point, we've we've covered
it all. It's weird and it hasn't set in yet, mostly because I
mean, it won't sat down until this posted, at least for me,
because recording is just kind of step line of the whole thing. But oh,
I've been doing that last Okay, no, you don't actually want to.
I think that you could do it that way. It's just a lot
harder. Okay, yeah, I've been letting you guys talk and then just
recording parts where I respond later. Is that great? That's why you're so
much funnier than me? Got it? I don't think that's true. Shelter,
Well, I say, we just asked Charlie what they think and then
leave a nice long gap in for them to insert things to say, what
do you say, Charlie? Great? Yeah, that's great. That's great.
So so yeah, this, uh, this, this kind is the
last thing that's been released up to the point that we're recording. Unless there's
like magically more episodes next year, this is will be. There will be
the vinyl and we will cover it when it Yeah, and we got to
our Patreon stretch goal to cover over the guarded walls on this very feed.
Well that's not all today is Ella, that's not all today. Oh,
that's right. This day is not only the end of our podcast, but
was the end of Dipper and mabel summer and the end of their twelfth year
of life. Happy birthday, Dipper in Mabel. Yeah, Happy twenty third
birthday, Dipper in Mabel. Right. Yeah, Now, in twenty twelve,
it was the end of their twelfth year. And now now they're they're
my age again. They're twenty thirdngratulations, they're your age now. They always
were. They seem to have stayed twelve for like four consecutive years. Oh
yeah, I mean everybody has their awkward stages. I mean, gravierty Falls
in itself must be a time capsule. But it's for that summer. Ah,
good thing, we made a time capsule. It's true. Yeah,
the past tense. May. I know, past tense is a weird thing
to say about it, but I guess the let's just get right into it.
I guess. The thing we're covering today gravity Falls Lost Legends, the
first official Gravity Falls Well, technically it's a graphic novel that becomes a point
of contention in one of the stories it does, and there's you know,
qualifiers on that because there were technically there were Gravity Falls Sinnas stories, which
were like screenshots from the show made into comic form. It was kind of
cool, but it is, you know, and they mostly left out the
quick time playbar. We will yeah, that is another thing we will get
to. Yeah. So this was the first original stories in comic form for
Gravity Falls and it was released on July twenty fourth, twenty eighteen, alongside
the box set DVD, and it really shows you how sparse Gravity Falls stuff
became these past few episodes, because you know, we talk about the finale
that wrapped up, you know, of the show itself. We're going to
getting three that was February twenty sixteen. Then we talked about the Cipher Hunt
and the Journal, which was that summer that was months after in twenty sixteen,
as well as well as the Time Pirates, and now we're talking about
Lost Legends, which was two years later. So it's like the gaps between
things just got larger and larger, and now we're here. It's hard to
cover the coloring book. So I do have a there's a section at the
end. I just have all the other stuff that we'll just blitz through.
You got, but it was announced closer to the other release states. It
was announced an entire year earlier, both at D twenty three and with a
little tweet with Alex saying step right up, kids, The Gravity Falls graphic
novel is officially announced. No tales us Settling Monsters, the Death of Your
Head cannons with a with a little illustration by one of the artists, Serena
Hernandez also known as Kiki Kit, who is a Gravity Falls fan artist that
Alex hired. The illustration by Serena says start saving up nerds. So yeah.
This book was written by Alex Hirsch and it was illustrated by Joe pitt
Ian, worrel Asaf Hanouka, Dana Terris, Jacob Chabau, Jim Campbell,
Kyle Smeely, Meredith Grand, Mike Holmes, Serena Hernandez, Stephanie Ramirez,
and Valerie Halla. So yeah. This was announced at D twenty three at
a co panel with Alex Hirsch and Darren Nepsi promoting gravity Falls Journal three and
something called Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension. I did not know
about this, Shelby. Did you did you know about this book? Have
you seen this. Have you heard about that? I have heard whisperings about
it, but I don't actually own that all the way. Yeah. Yeah,
you saw a door with the book's logo on it and you knocked on
it, and they said, what's the purt word? And you just left.
You didn't know. I just left. I'm guessing that this book was
like the equivalent to Different Mabel's Guide to Mystery not Stop Fun but for Star
Versus, which is pretty cool. Sounds like it. That makes the other
one lyric Journal three there was another one. I guess that that. Yes,
there's like it's basically the spell Book. Yeah, oh cool. So
yeah they did a real Jeffrey Tambour inside I hope not. Yes, he's
actually been much like a demon in an old movie, has been entombed in
a book for his crimes. Okay, good, good. Before that panel,
I guess the the week before, a few days before d twenty three
it was, it popped up on Amazon Canada and something called Chapters Indigo.
It listed as untitled mystery book in Caesar Cipher fascinating and our friend of the
show that fan had talked about it a little bit speculated that, like,
you know, this wasn't a leak. This was put there to generate that
speculation because the description said like all will be revealed at d twenty three,
So I think this was something deliberate. I don't know if it was directly
Alex's idea, but it sounds like something just feel like something Alex would concoct,
speaking of things that Alex would do and did. On the second anniversary
of the finale February fifteenth, twenty eighteen, Alex revealed the cover in a
very interesting way. Everyone involved in the show, and even like Ariel Hirsch
posted to various social media's puzzle pieces and you had to find all of them
to link them together and make the books cover. Well, if that's not
the cutest thing I've ever heard, like, I love it. Just a
bunch of pine trees. You have to gather all the trees and put them
together. So, yeah, the pieces were made of pine trees, right,
or they were shaped like like the ones on Dipper's hat specifically, Yeah,
which is so it's like a little forest forest forest. Yeah. There
is the hashtag puzzling pines event over Twitter, Tumbler, and Facebook, which
two of those you really don't do anything on anymore. Now that's a time
cap. Yeah. And then eventually a proper AD was released, except not
really. It was an ad for a fake Schmebuloch toy that reveals it's an
ad for the comic at the end. Is he home or favorite gnome?
Sug John smylock. He just loves to chase your kids? Does what to
say? Introducing tug and talk Schmebuloc, the most talkative and lovable gnome in
gravity Falls. What's your favorite color? Fool I be when I grow up?
Talking talk Schmebulock has over twenty five unique phrases. There's Mebulock and also
and who could forget thrown ups just don't understand. He just says Schmebuloc.
But kids get it, he said, Schmebulock, Smebulock. Does it ever
get lonely in the forest? We are born alone, and alone we die.
You can talk. Although I was cursed to only speak my name once
every thousand years, I am granted the gift of speech, and the hour
is nighe. Wow, you must be really old. I come from an
age of blood and steel, where beasts spoke as men and riddles whispered in
the trees. You must have a lot of stories to tell. It's funny
you should say that I have four stories, four lost tales, forbidden adventures
from the past that have yet to be told. Smernographic novel Mebulock is a
talking if you wrote a book that you should buy Gravity Falls, Lost Legends
for all New Adventures coming to a store near you. I like Smegulock.
I love capitalism. I want Tugge Talks Meggulock to be real so very badly.
It's such a good commercial. I know. When I saw that at
I was excited, and then I saw what it was actually for, and
honestly was more excited. In all honesty, I this is not my first
YouTube channel, the one I've mentioned several times. I ran a YouTube until
like from like two thousand and six to like twenty thirteen. That uh well,
one of the reasons I stopped posting to it because all of I was
a teenager in all of the videos, and I'm like, this is weird.
And I was mostly helping other people with videos. I made these Sam
and Max comic dubs with Malcolm Ray, and I made the Honkah Special with
Ella, the Gravity Sonica Special. Yeah, I made this channel just to
host things for my Tumblr because Tumblr didn't have very good video uploading back then.
People wouldn't have very good period. Yeah, but with you and Sarah
and all your reach on awkward gravity Falls screen caps and dirty GF confessions here
here, uh, I wound up accidentally becoming a popular YouTuber. I wasn't
even checking the channel. I was just put up embedding the videos, but
they would get a lot of views, and I started getting subscribers because I
started appearing on search results for gravity Falls, and I thought, what should
this channel be? Then? What should I do? What should it be
a project that would be specifically this channel? And I was like, well,
this channel is sort of a spin off of the sound Max comic dubs
and the gravity Fall stuff I've been doing on Tumblr and with Ella. So
the logical conclusion is I got to go see if there's an official gravity Falls
comic and there wasn't, so I lay dormant, and I am confident to
say the reason that my channel exists is so that I could one day spend
an entire year dubbing the official gravity Falls graphic novel. That's exactly what happened,
and that is I am very proud to say how I have made most
of my income in my life. I think it's safe to say that you
might know this book better than Alex at this point. Yeah. Did voice
direction, which meant reading over every line over and over again with different people,
like I would gather in shelby and I'm like, no, do this
line like this. I voiced my lines myself as dipper Ford Seuss, and
then I edited it, which is adjusting each line thirty times until you get
the timing right. Yeah. And of course the visuals of a comic up
revealing every line one at a time, which is yes, I had to
do. I had to edit those images as well. So I would think
it's fair to say that I've read every line in this book, and then
counting watching the video to check the audio levels, and watching it during our
few streams, and sometimes I just watch it. I'm proud of it.
I think it's safe to say I've read this book close to somewhere between blevantine
and twenty seventy twelve times. Yeah, whoever can find us the exact mathematical
midpoint will win a tug in talk a lock. We should we should pitch
that to mystery Shack Gravity falls fan like, we should pitch that to him
for the tenth anniversary of the finale, but make it making a lock.
Oh my god, you're right, the kind of thing that he would like.
Yes. There was also a Barnes and Noble exclusive edition of the book,
which is the one that I happened to have, which has an extra
chapter titled Seus's com Corner, and it is narrated by Seuss. It includes
sixteen extra pages of behind the scenes sketches and notes and uh, just kind
of info on the making of the graphic novel, detailing many of the pages
and exploring secrets within them. And I really really love this chapter. I
it's a shame that it isn't in every version because I love it for similar
reasons that I love Different Mabel's Guide, because it's very much speaking directly to
kids and to the reader and encouraging them that, like you two can not
only find mysteries and stack many hats on your head, but you can also
draw comics. How does Sus say this? He says, Uh, if
you want to draw comers, you could do it to DoD just a social
mirs and az or sorry, if you could stip alert, it's a crammer.
He also says, fun fact, did you know that comics are drawn
not by gods but in fact actual mortal human bigs, Which is something that
we say all the time on this podcast, which is I was amazed when
I read that everyone who worked this show was at work at the time.
That was their job that they did, mostly because it was fun, but
also because they needed rent in groceries because Los Angeles is expensive and that,
and also that they are not actually mastermind chess players, but they are people
writing a cartoon and you can do that too. And Yeah, the fans
talk about Alex Hirsch with this lens of like he is this mastermind who no
one could do what he did. And the way Alex Hirsch talks about himself
is like, I didn't I wasn't ready to have a TV show. I
was fresh out of college. I didn't know what I was doing. And
it's like, not only is it, you know, dehumanizing to Alex to
frame him that way, but also it does oneself a disservice because it implies
that you couldn't do that even if like you wanted to. It's like,
yeah, I like that this this little behind the scenes chapter is showing like,
yeah, these things start out as like rough sketches and just ideas,
and I love the There's an expression that they've had on like the Pixar DVD
commentaries and stuff, where they say, at one point in production, every
Pixar movie was the worst film ever made, which you know, and sometimes
it stays that way. But that's like how how Neil Gaiman says the point
of doing a rewrite is to pretend you knew what you were doing all exactly
exactly. So I dig it. I encourage anyone to seek it out if
it's out there somewhere still. I imagine the Barnes and Noble version with this
is probably still available, maybe at Barnes and Noble, maybe at Barnes and
Noble, maybe at some Noble barn in some way. Yeah, it would
be nice if they would add that in because that that feels like the core
of Alex's message whenever he does talk to the fans, Yeah, it's got
like I did this, you can do this too, do it better.
I don't like how the fans tend to talk about him in a different way
he talks about himself. Well, so I mean, like, most of
the fans were so young that I think that they picked up on the things
that was him just being a weird millennial and take it as like this is
from the gods, and so part of growing up is learning, hey,
things are not from a godly perspective. Everybody is more sure as a weird
millennial. I think that is the best description of Alex Heirsche i've ever.
There's also one of the only gravity Falls works in which he's the sole credited
writer. This is true, but yeah, it's growing up is learning that
all of the adults in your life are people and human You are a human
person too. They have to hear the bathroom sometimes. Yeah. Yeah,
I think that my turning point in adulthood was realizing that my parents never knew
what was going like, they didn't know yeah any more than I do now.
I turned out like this because I grew up knowing that about my parents
and teachers and principal. Uh yeah, I mean I was a very sheltered
Christian child though, so like it makes sense that that was my my growing
up point. You grew up an adult. I grew up an adult.
It's true, you grew up an adult you said you were born a baby,
was born a baby, and then grew up an adult. Those are
non conflicting. I see you're born at a different time than you grow up.
I think, oh, I didn't get that part. Yeah. Yeah.
Periodically throughout this podcast, you will hear audio clips demonstrating what we're talking
about, which should be impossible in a book. Uh. Those are from
the dub that the three of us and others spent a year making. Yeah,
the link will be in the description. If you want to hear the
context of these clips, and you know what, enjoy the whole comic for
free. It is delightful, so I highly recommend you do so if you
have it already. And also, of course it's where we originally recorded the
remaster of My Hearts and Gravity Falls. That was for the credits of that
Coming True, and we'll get we'll get back to that at the end here.
I think that's a good thing to restate at the end. The book
opens with a faceless narrator, which is soon on page two revealed to be
Schmebuloc, who can speak hidderneath the dappled beams of honey colored sunlight betwixt the
BlackBerry brambles and the brooks. Eerie song legends whisper of an unseen world,
unmarked on the maps of men, is the land of the gnomes. Least
among these creatures is Schmebulac, a gnome they say, is so stupid that
he can only speak his own accursed name, Schabuloc. Yes, that's the
one. But there is more to this poor soul than meets the eye.
I would know. I am Schmabulac. Yes, he was cursed EANs ago
by a dark war to only speak his own name. But once every thousand
years he is gifted by moonlight to speak the tongue of man, and tonight
is that night, and he's got his very hefner bathrobe and little orb of
wine. Yeah. And my favorite, my absolute favorite moment with Schmebbylock is
when he goes and I have opinions, loose sends I would like to see
tied up and certain characters who I think should be with other characters romantically.
I think about it day and night. It torments me. And then he
just stares into the fare with his wine in his hand for a little bit,
and uh, yeah. The the direction I gave when I had that
recorded was he is somehow both Saramon and Barry White. Yeah. Yeah,
that's a good direction. That line is so funny. I know, like
he's a he's an inch and philosopher, but he's also a swing and bachelor.
Yeah, and also a fan of the show Gravity Falls. He is
an ancient philosopher, a swinging bachelor, and just a person yelling at Alex
on Twitter. Yeah, which is that fun uh Gravity Falls thing? Where
like when there's a serious character, there's some casual millennial spin on it.
Mm hmm exactly. And interestingly, I have to imagine that this was,
you know, an intentional kind of through line, because Alex Hirsch did write
both of these things that I'm about to talk about. Where in the nom
Gemulates game, there's a code that Smebuloc says that translates to mine is but
a solitary existence. I read, I ponder, I stare at the Heavens
Bounty. This is our world, But cruel is the master of it,
who condemned me to say, but only my name. Perhaps my isolation is
my gift, for it is only in the separation from others that a mind
can truly be. I have to assume that that was kind of maybe Alex
didn't think they were going to follow up on that necessarily, but Alex maybe
always had that Loure in his head for Schmdbylock that was going to be implemented
here. A lot of the function of this book I have found is addressing
the things that people wouldn't shut up to Alex about. Yeah, that's definitely
true, because there's a lot of there's so many potential avenues you could take
with like untold stories from gravity Falls. But the first one confirms the dip
PACIFICA ship does it. Though it does it does I'm not listening la la
la la. It hints at it from one end in the text. Yeah,
Dipper, you're right. Dipper never says he's romantically interested in Pacifica at
any point. I think Dipper is just getting attention from a girl who is
his age and not his sister and reacting appropriately. Yeah, I know.
Yeah. And then the third story, odd we'll get to but deals with
a lot of the Mabelest selfish stuff that was going around post series. Yeah.
I get it, because if you have so much potential for what story
is to tell you, it's an easy way to narrow it down it's just
take like, Okay, what are the biggest like things you get people to
stop tweeting at me? Yes, exactly, exactly, much like I was
saying a lot of the the Journal, three reeks of Alex going like,
oh, I wasn't happy with how he wrote this, let's wreckon on it
and write it better. And yeah, this kind of reeks of will you
leave me alone? A little bit? A little bit, which is at
least in Alex's case, represented by Smabylock. I also have read this book
more than anyone else, so I have issues with it that a first time
reader wouldn't, because no one's ever supposed to read anything this many times.
Like that is true, like the fact that if you're reading along with us,
be on the lookout for characters taking a full page spread to fall into
a weird new location and then landing on the next page with an ooh for
a thud and then getting up like where are we? And then there's a
big spread reveal of the where they are. That happens once in the first
story, where are We Incredible? I read about this in the Journal it's
a paranormal black market under the town twice in the second story, We're gonna
have to go inside the comic and rescue him. Last one there has to
peak Marmy Dear, we're in Oh oh no, I've been blown into the
margins and once in the third story, Hey, hey, Hall, correct,
that's true. So the first story is called face it. I was
unable to parse this in a way that made the pun and clear. What
do you mean the direction for Brian Carolfish might be lock that one was.
I don't know, you figure it out. Yeah, yeah, So this
is not only, like you said, the Dipper and pacifica story to address
whatever they have going on, but it's also an excuse to bring back the
President's key. Yes, David's going to be so happy. I know,
David, if you're listening, this one's for you. This one's for you,
buddy. There is a mention in Journal three to beware of a door
that has what was it thirteen or six thirteen on Main Street? Yeah.
Yeah, So they finally do enter the thirteen door on Main Street that was
alluded to in the journal using the President's key, and it is revealed it
is the crawl Space, a paranormal black market under the town. Yeah,
which is a really cool concept. I will note that that six x' six
and that note has been there since bored Art, because that's in the journal
that I made, so it's not something they added to it. That's been
there from the start. Yeah, the avoid the store on Main Street was
there in like tourist trapped yea. Yeah. Oh, we should state that
the reason that Dipper and Pacifica have to go down to the crawl space is
because a monster named mister Wattson's face stole Mabel's face because Pacifica was worried about
her beauty and accidentally got Mabel's face taken when she was trying to remove her
own to get rid of all the blemishes. Mm hmm. It happens the
drawing of the when they initially opened the door to the crawl space. Horrifye
even goes this hallway has teeth yeah and uh, as well as the mister
Wes's face himself, who he self describes as a beautiful flesh tornado of a
face, which is true. He's just like kind of completely seen in shadow
for most of it, but we do get a couple glimpses at the horror
that is under his little hat. He's got like that. Yeah, I
love his uh, his used car salesman aesthetic. It's very good. Yes,
and there are some cameos in the crawl space from uh, well,
it's an opportunity to get a lot of cameos into reveal that every creature in
Gravity Falls is a secret meeting spot. Yeah right, but also not only
in gravity Falls, but also outside of Gravity Falls, right, Shelby,
m hmm, that is true. Yes, this is they. This is
the first appearance of Eta the Owl Lady in anywhere anyone? Oh yeah,
wait was this before? This was before because Dana did work on this,
so Dana threw in a couple Well, Dana didn't work on on the comic
that she worked on the comic as a whole. But Alex also was the
creative consultant for Owl House, so she knew everything that was being planned.
And yeah, and now House wasn't out. Yeah, and when did that
come out? Twenty nineteen? Yeah, this is the debut of the Owl
Lady on a wanted poster in the crawl space in silhouette. Yeah no,
well sort of you can on the water poster. It's a sill in the
full page spread, but you have you can make out that the shape is
Da. If you know what Da looks like. She does. She's a
very she has a very unique silhouette. Oh, I see you got some
eyes and yeah. Also owl Bert is straight up scene in yes. Oh
that's her staff. Yeah with lock right, I believe so. Yes.
And when you're looking at the journal pages for the crawl space, the page
that's side by side with the crawl space is for the Boiling Aisles and has
information about the first episode on it, which is fitting because that's also accessed
via magic door. That is true. And behind Schmabulac Journal four is seen.
Oh yes, that's right, that's right. I have to imagine it's
fan fiction. It's a meticulous fan fiction. Amazing. There are so many
cameos in the Carl's face. There is a former member of the Blind Ice
seen selling memory canisters. There's the handwitch seen selling hands. She attends two
swap meets regularly. I guess, yeah, she attends to the human one
and the monster one. She's got the best of both worlds, I'd say,
yeah, she does. Or she arrives at both for half the amount
of time, so it only counts as one swap. Maybe she I've booked
two swap meets on the same day, exactly. I was gonna say,
she thought she'd only signed up for one on separate nights. What am I
going to do? A pirate Lila Puttyn is seen stealing an egg from a
question quail, which was mentioned in Journal three. A plaid, a puss,
and a geode, which are also mentioned in the Journal, appear as
well. A crow can be seen holding the mystic amulet used by Gideon in
the hand that rocks the mabel, and it looked like it was it was
repaired a little bit, which which was interesting. Oh, I mean yeah,
or it's a different one. He might have chipped it off a big
giant rock like Dipper did with the shrink Grow crystals. That's also true.
Yeah, I can't. And also the bird has a top hat and a
eye patch which is kind of looks like a plague doctor too, well,
I can't. I Also the fact that the bird looks like a plague doctor,
has one eye covered up and is over a sign that says Faustian Bargains
has me like, that's like the that's like the dude, it's like my
baby boy today, I love you so much The gnome that was seen selling
fairy dust in Last Mabel Corn could be seen selling some to a unicorn.
The Candy Monster from Dipper's Guy to the n Explained could be seen chewing out
a batter. One of the wanted posters is a silhouette of Waxlary King.
Some eebats can be seen flying around a gram Bloblin can be seen passing by
the barrels that Dipper and Pacifica are hiding behind. The hide behind is not
there? Oh there's a a sign pointing toward the Black Lodge. Ha,
that's great and uh yeah, mister Wat's his face has a big wall of
faces, including but not limited to, to Toot Mcbumber, Snazzle, Deputy
Derland, the Summerween Trickster, Alex Hirsch, a blobfish which was a meme
at the time that Alex was working on this, and the happy Mask salesman.
In Majura's Mask, the second Zelta game for the Nintendo sixty four,
dying people can be transformed into masks that allow you to assume their form,
and the salesman being a living face mask is a very clever reference, as
well as when mister what's's face is seen trying to sell a mask to Toby
Determined, Yes, a face for the chin. He is wearing the back
pack that the Happy Mask salesman is seen wearing in Majar's mask with some of
the same masks on the back. And we finally get slender Man in Gravity
Falls for real this time, which is kind of a big payoff to something
from towards the beginning of the series in the fandom, when he was fake
photoshopped into Legend of the Comma Walker and that was so widespread that people knew
Gravity Falls as that new slender Man show on Disney. I have literally heard
multiple accounts of that being how people heard about the show first. Wow,
because that is only two episodes in, there was not a whole lot of
outside of children that watch Disney Channel. Yeah. I guess that's because not
everybody finds it sideways from community because John Oliver is in it. No,
not everyone sideways because Homestar Runner is on high. Yeah, it's working on
something else this I guess. No, not everyone is as cultured. Oh
we're old, that's old old. I think this was Yeah, Yeah,
I love this interpretation of slender Man is just kind of neurotic. He's just
a nervous kind of guy. He forgot his wallet, maybe he left it
in his other slender pants. Oh and when Pacifica is talking about being raised
with such rigid beauty standards from her mother, who was a literal trophy wife.
Literally one in what was it a yachting competition, this entire book memorized
or anything. No, I just know I can rely on you. Yeah,
She's seen cuddling with Lama Plushy, which foreshadows her role in the Zodiac.
She's the Zodiac. She is the Zodiac killer. Yeah. And then
Robbie, Young Robbie has snuggled at home. Oh, stitched up heart,
flushy, I'll never leave you. My personal favorite part of face it is
doctor Crow's Feet, who sells beauty bills. One because the it was a
really fun voice to do them. What garanteed to draw your records and make
your stoic queen girl. But two because that winds up being the Chekhov's gun
that they used to defeat uh, the mister Wes's face because she neglects to
take them when she sees that the side effects may include spontaneous face combustion and
that uses them basically as a grenade. So good. My favorite joke in
all of this has to be the last one, which is that Ford rescues
them from mister Wets's face, and Pacifica, who has never seen Ford at
this point, suddenly just thinks that Stan just became hot all of a sudden.
Thanks, guys, I needed this. Hey, why is Stan suddenly
hot? Now? Yeah, I've had a lot of That's one that I
get the most comments on because, of course, because characters being attracted to
other characters is the thing people like. And schmebulock, but I think it's
that, like she is used to stand being someone who does not take care
of his appearance and being hot, and you know, having the money to
afford grooming products are things that she equates together. You're right, yeah,
Pacifica would see it is although Ford, maybe Ford can afford beauty products,
but he chooses fire. He does use fire. But he also, you
know, he has pretty up to the moment glasses and hair style and those
big these have been the same since nineteen eighty nineteen eighty two. They just
happen to be in style. They were popular in twenty twelve so he came
back to the Yeah, back around, he came right, He came back
the right time. If he had stayed in this dimension, people would be
like loser one of those glasses from nineteen eighty two. Our kids kids still
into fedoras. I have a lot of those. Oh no, oh no,
Uncle Forward, burn those, burn them all. My favorite part is
the slow horror scene of Mabel drawing, Yeah, that's fantastic. I have
to change my answer. It's that one Dan walks in on Mabel with no
face, and to try to react to what he say, draws a smile
on herself with marker, and it just looks absolutely horrify. Have you seen
my world's most distracting object? Could have sworn it, left it in and
stand just slowly back, so complete, completely undercutting the bloodless carnage of actually
taking the faces off. Is just that horrible scrawled on smile on the blank
face. I do love that when he steals face, it's just it just
leaves this very clean, like smooth, just kind of pure baby. It's
very The faceless old woman who secretly lives in your house esque, Oh I
know her? Uh, yeah, she secretly lives in my house of course,
I I too, Oh yead, has she been secretly living in other
people's houses behind my back? So the text exchange between Mabel and Pacifica at
the end does confirm that Pacific has a crush on Dipper, which whatever,
but also confirms that Dipper doesn't own a cell phone and Mabel does. I
intercepted this text exchange between the two of them afterwards, and I found it
interesting, very interesting. Hey Dipper, so about that hug. Don't get
the wrong idea or anything. There was monster on my sleeve and I was
just wiping it off on you as if I'd actually hug you on purpose.
Pacifica, this is Mabel. Dipper doesn't have a cell phone? What hug?
What? Nothing? This was a prank text, Oh gee, do
you like this number? The wedding butler to break your legs? Uncomfortable and
confirms that gravity falls runs on the cell service Gravity and Team, which I
think is the best part of this. In that exchange, I'm sending my
butler to break your legs is pretty good, very and as well as oh
uncomfortable, And that brings us into the second story. Calm mix up.
Have you ever seen a baby that looked old like an old baby. Well,
we've officially run out of things to talk about. Have you ever seen
a baby that looked old like an old baby? Well, we've officially run
out of the things to talk about. I know, after fifty two podcasts,
we sure would. Yeah, so, have you guys ever seen a
baby that looks old like like an old baby? I wish there was a
way to go on an adventure without, you know, tilting my neck.
Only there's a way to go on an adventure without gutting up or tilting my
neck? Oh what about comix up? This one is a very meta joke.
The joke is that gravity Falls has never been a comic before Gravity Falls
has made fun of animation. Yeah, well, I guess Sappahars, et
cetera. Those people are called I don't write thirst But now they're in a
new format, and so there needs to be new meta jokes and and it's
it's great, it's really fun. Most of these are a little obvious.
Yeah, you know, the first one is it's a little Richie Rich I
think, yeah, the first it's it's specifically is Richie Rich in that first
one, Okay, it's Richie Rich and Casper okay, but it's also contains
a reference to the goofy taking his hat with his hat. I love that,
Hey cool too hot? What pay cool? Too hot? And then
there's Blarchie at the at the very beginning is Blarchie. Oh, Blarchie,
who needs a personality where you have freckles and can fight two bears a season?
I know on Bliverdale, in the show Bliverdale, which is Wendy's favorite,
which Wendy would watch absolutely Wendy lives that. And in Riverdale, in
true to Lost Legends, form Archie does have a please input personality. Here
he goes around like I don't know what to do, and people are like,
you're a mobster now, and he's like, oh, he's basically Donkey
Kong from a Pernicia. It's great because every other teenager is written like they're
thirty years old, and he's written like an eleven year old boy. I
think the metahumor works because they really go all in on the style shifts,
because they really thoroughly Yes, I just think that the styles are are a
little obvious, going Casper Richie rich and then going mad magazine slash by versus
Spy show Joe Mom. Superhero comics like these are the ones Charlie Brown slash
Peanuts Garfield. These are the ones that you would parody if you're like,
I need to parody a bunch of different comic book styles. The one I
find most interesting in this one is the there is a page that parodies Hellboy,
which is only in there because it is one of Alex's favorite comic books,
and the artist who does the Hellboy page is Alex's personal art hero,
asath Hanooka. That one feels like I'm seeing something unique that only Alex would
have written, and like anyone would have thought of they're all late for class
or whatever. Yeah, I guess so, I think. I just I
really like how they how they explore all these different designs and styles. Yeah
again, I have I loved this when I first read it. That just
was, you know, something million weeks ago and nothing holds up to that
much scrutiny because fiction is made up by a person that is true. Yeah,
not by God. I like the Bill Roy was here is a good
shout out to Kilroy is an old graffiti that World War one or two,
I think two veterans used to do where they would do a graffiti of a
little guy with a nose hanging over a fence that says Kilroy was here.
Uh. And there's on the the Mad magazine page. Uh, a graffiti
on the fence that says Bill Roy was here, with Bill peaking his non
nose over I like that joke until I got comments about it. Wait,
Bill was there? What? No, it's a reference to a maybe they
shouldn't let children watch children shows. I don't know, I say, just
teach him swears. Yeah. Uh, there is a there is a kid
here whose whole thing is that he likes swears. Yeah. Kid, We
refer to him ass and Steven voices him beautifully in the comic. Yeah,
a book for kids that swears in it cool and yeah, because when they
visit when SEUs gets blown out into the gutters the spaces in between the comics,
he finds grunkle stan in Little Stanley the Charlie Brown style. Well,
it's Charlie, it's Peanuts, and it's Garfield, so it's it's general newspaper.
Well, Garfield is Sarcasta, is there puff exists in the Little Stanley
World? So Little Stanley World is the newspaper. Comic cinematic universe. Yes,
of course I get it. Stan Wow, Lil Stanley was ambitious because
he fled that he you revealed that it was his dream to make a comic
and then they rejected him. Comic slash Pyramids. Yeah, it was basically
a pyramid s game in comic form. And then he got into a fistfight
with stan Lee in nineteen seventy eight. I consider so this comic came out
on July twenty fourth, twenty eighteen. Stanley died in November a couple months
later. I wrestled with if I should keep that joke in the video and
decided that stan Lee would. Stan would have won it that way, then
we would have kept that joke in the video. If Stanley's ghost was there,
he'd be like, keep put in. It's funny when I think about
the idea of fist fighting Grunkle stan This is something that I've thought about a
lot. I looked at my ceiling and I saw a grunkle stand crawling on
the ceiling, and I thought, what a great idea for a superhero.
What if there was a man who had the powers of Grunkle. I don't
know who Steve did co is stop saying that name. We'll call him Spider
Stand. That's crap. Oh man, wait to stip Oh wait, So
okay, So stan stan fist foot stan Lee, who was named stan Lee
like as in Stanley but also inspired J. Jameson, was created because stan
Lee wanted to play the character if there was ever a live action movie or
show or anything, so he drew Jajona j Is in to look like him
and kind of talk like him, and then that wound up being JK.
Simmons Sports Pins when there eventually was because it Stanley did not realize it would
take forty years to be a live action movie. So Stanley is just kind
of both stan twins Man. There was a comic by Mooring Mark about that
because the Stanley cameo happens post credits in Big Hero six where he says,
we have a lot to talk about. So around the time Big Hero six
and No what he seems came out, there's one where stan Lee steps out
of the portal because the head canon was that was what Stand's twin brother was
named Stanley, so he go Stanley and he goes, we have a lot
to talk about, and then there's the them fighting the indestructive Buddies with their
own unique names and superpowers, which I love. I love just change changing
their dialogue, and one of them boasts that he has no weakness, but
then Mabel stabs him with the pointy part of his speech bubble, which he
admits was his only weakness. It's true. Also, then they get all
totally rad superpowers and kick everyone's butts whoosh zapp Yeah, thanks to the power
of the power of white out and rewriting over the story. So I do
like this one. I get what you're saying about the meta humor being a
lot if you have read it thirty times, and if you keep getting comments
on people who are still flabbergasted they did manga. It seems like the joke
with anime still is that when it is acknowledged by American media, that is
a joke in of itself. I'm ready for that to stop. The Oh
yeah, I forgot. I honestly forgot all about that page, although I
do like I did like voicing Sendpi Gideon. That was fun. Yeah,
who is this feutiful stranger? N a song? It's me so bad Giddy
helped me collect the Seven Crystal sailor Angel campcry cards, and then we can
finally kiss. My favorite character I voiced in this one was Horrifying Bird,
an art deco crow that appears in the Grim Dark Chronicles. I just like
going, but also I got to do a deep, mysterious voice that is
typically away from how I type cast myself, and no one realized I voiced
that one. That's awesome. I have seen the man. You see he
went in through those countcosh. Thanks Terrifying Bird. I trust. And this
is also uh, this is also where we get a very dramatic episode of
Detective in which Ductective is real to be pregnant, which is not impossible,
no, only improbable because Ductective is too busy for a love life. Well
Detective is also not a mammal. Mmmm yeah, well I like that.
This one has the similar philosophy to that Bonus Seu's chapter of just encouraging people
to like hey, like, it does not have to be as good as
something you're buying off the sho like, just make it like it doesn't it's
your Like, it's your art and someone is going to like it. He
did accidentally photocopy a couple of his arm hairs. Though, well, I'd
buy it. That's yeah, No, that that adds to the value.
Do you understand that? Yeah, I stand It's a little thing called collector's
value. It's like select editions. Well, Stanley, select editions have my
armpit hair. And I feel like Jason would buy it. Jason would Jason?
Did you know what it's? In the build up to the next story,
don't dimention it should be a Locke mentions that in the aftermath of word
Mageddon, a giant fault line open in the forest that Dipper named Mabel's Fault,
And this is a reuse of an unused joke from Scaraoke, where in
the original opening of that episode they talked about how, after all the stuff
with the giant Gideon robot, there was a giant fault lined the pines named
Gideon's Fault. So I think Alex just really likes that pun. It was
too good a joke to pass up. Although the Mabel's Fault is referencing kind
of how the fans believe that Mabel was completely behind weird Mgeddon because she was
tricked in a moment of vulnerability by Bill in disguises blending and did not choose
to end the world as many claim to remember it. That's true. I
just really like a good pun on the word fault. It's true. But
yeah, no, you are absolutely correct. The fandom has been terrible to
Mabel since then, even though it really don't dimention. It is about largely
about addressing that, about getting Mabel in a situation where she can see her
self externally and go, why do I do that when there's important things to
be done? Uh, it's I don't know. I never felt Mabel was
selfish, So that conclusion to it does it work for me? But what
does work for me is thousands of alternate universe Mabels. It's ten percent of
which voiced by Shelby in the video, including the background noise on maybe three
L, the dimension where lost Mabels stick together like potato chip crumbs at the
bottom of a bag. Maype three L. I want to go there.
There are so many. There's Bob Ross Mabel. There's Goodable, which is
the Australian one who says things like you got to be Paula now Wallabies.
There's table Mabel, There's three Bowl. There's military expert Mabel, and the
artist of the comic Serena Hernande is also known as Kiki Kit, voiced three
bowl in Our in our dub of it and did the thumbnail of the standalone
posting of it. And there's a Morty Mabel and a Dipper Mabel. There
is a Morty Mabel. There's a Dipper Mabel. There's one that Alex told
Serena to make look like a dinosaur, but she was really into undertail at
the time and accidentally made look like Alphis. And now I have to get
comments constantly. It was like that there is a dinosaur, right, not
the sharp tooth. We're talking the three hornes. Ah yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I have previously actually interviewed Serena about this
comic as part of an event to celebrate the video reaching one million views.
I can play some choice snippets from the Oh yeah, give me it was
choice snippets, Charlie, I love choice snippets. Shelby. How do you
feel about choice snippets? I think they're very tasty. So how did you
first get involved with Gravity Falls Lost Legends. It was the year before the
comic actually released, twenty seventeen. Yeah, twenty seventeen. That February Alex
had made it a tweet asking who everyone's favorite artist in the fandom was.
I didn't have a Twitter at the time, but everyone or a bunch of
people kept on saying my name and my name and everything. And at the
time I was excited, like, oh, he's gonna know who I am.
And like a month later I had given up that anything was gonna happen,
and I got contacted on Tumblr from this recruiter at Disney saying, hey,
We're gonna be doing a Grand Falls comic book. Everyone to know if
you wanted to be a part of it, and I screamed, I just
it was insane. So then I mean, gosh, you have to just
at least partially designed. I don't know if there were sketches or anything,
but there are characters. There are like fifty or sixty characters that you were
the only person who has drawn. Yeah, there's a lot of Mabel's.
I like to say that half of them were Alex, the other half for
me. So anyone who has like any good talking roles was Alex. Everyone
in the background. Mine is flamble, flameless, my golden child. She
was perfect. That's actually that was actually my favorite design. A lot of
people say that, and that's so proud. She's like the cutest one.
I managed to come up with. The ones that I designed that stuck were
flamble, explainable, a bunch of background characters. Indeed, the Giant crowd
shot that one panel in particular took me two days non stop drawing to get
it done. So he would send you sketches of the main ones, like
Anti Mabel and yeah, well Anti Mabel was also mainly me because she was
just she looks like Mabel, but she does it. Whose idea was Anti
Mabel's tussles of hair being pointed rather than round it, That was all me.
Anti Mabel was the first character I had designed of the alternate Mabels,
and the whole like sharp little hair tough thing was just like one thing I
could think of that would make her a little different from the normal Mabel.
That and the she has no like puffed cheek. She does have that little
round cheek of oh yes, I never noticed that one. Actually, yeah
that. Alex never told me anything to change on on Anti Mabel. She
was Anti Mabel from the start and with everyone else it was kind of I
gave my initial sketches and Alex gave in the back and he's like, you
would know they would look like this, and he would he would kind of
give me a little sketch of it, and like military. Mabel was like
that especially, so how did how did your cat Pig wind up in it?
He had told me on that page where she's going through all the different
dimensions that he wanted one that was a real life like photo, and I
was like, hey, I have a cat named Pig. That's perfect,
So I tossed my cat in there. When Mabel is falling into uh maybe
three l she travels through a sonic like mystery shack zone, she passes uh
some of the Hench Maniacs at a monument to Bill that says he was the
worst, and I think that's supposed to be the nightmare role. I think
so, yeah, And I can't figure out if because obviously he was the
worst as an epithet is to the hench Maniacs a compliment, but they seem
a little upset, so maybe they didn't like Bill, or maybe that kind
of dictatory was just also through cal arts parties. I cannot Yeah, I
can also see that maybe they're just upset that Mabel crashed their their memorial service.
It's it's interesting. I wonder what they're uh, what that wake was
like? What what was the shiva like for Bill? Yeah? Then they
passed through an underwater gravity falls, which honestly, I don't know what it's
supposed to be referencing, but it reminds me of Freddy Fish more than like
Little Mermaid or Finding Nemo. I think it's it has big Freddy Fish vibes.
Yeah, it's like Shark ale but and yes, the final dimension that
Mabel falls through is a real life photo of Pig, who is Serena's cat,
because Alex said, I want some live action image for the last one.
I'm not quite sure. I love that so much, something that we
don't have to buy the rights too. And Serena was like, oh,
I have a picture of my cat, and Alex was like perfect, perfect,
So now Pig is forever am I love also that the voice of three
Boll has a cat named Pig. Of course, I bet that was Mabel's
cat's name. At home. She should have named Wattle's cat. Yeah,
you're in so, but she named him Wottles Becsey Wattle. Maybe the cat's
name. Maybe the cat's name is Saunta. Yeah, I mean that would
Yeah, yeah, there you go. Because cats, cats aren't really the
wattling type. No, they're more casual. I like that. There's a
calamity brother in here. Yeah, you're right. Uh, there is the
exact design of Mabel in the false mustache from the post her and uh,
I guess I didn't I didn't piece that together. Wow, good job,
I didn't piece that together either. You did get something new from it this
time. She must be from that timeline where they became full time bandits in
the Old West. Oh yeah, that's right. Some of these must be
from the many, many branching paths and timelines and realities that were created exactly
by daring to do a select your own choosing exactly. So then there's a
Stanbull, which is a lot Stanbull is single and ready to mangle, which
came from a comic that Alex drew as a joke or just like a little
sketch he drew as a joke for Twitter. I think he drew it on
a napkin, a little sketch on a napkin, and it was just like
to give people diamares yeah. Checks. So the antagonist of this story is
anti Mabel, who is you know, just the opposite of Mabel, but
also like an embodyment of the fandom's criticisms of Mabel. I guess it's I.
I agree that it's a weird angled for the story because we've discussed,
we've discussed never written with the idea that one was the selfish twin and one
wasn't, and now it is, and that's kind of odd. Yeah,
we've discussed many a time on this podcast that it's the argument does not really
hold water. And so to have a story where the reason that Mabel wanted
to do a sock opera with her friends instead of a mystery with her brother
is that she has friends and her brother doesn't. So he has no choice
but to do everything with her, and she has options. He just chooses
to make friends with old men. Yeah, who loves befriending old man?
He's well, he does wear a down vest, he does. He's definitely
trying to put a Marty McFly type image into the world. That's true.
There we go. Oh yeah, you're Stanford Pines. I came back here
in a portal that you had it, and I need you helped to get
back two dimensions see fifty. Yeah, you know what this means. It
means that the thing doesn't work, So I do. I do really like
the subplot where Stan and Ford because it's like the last week of them of
different Mabel being in gravity falls, and it's right afterward Mageddon. They're in
a very protective mode and they get into this argument over who is a better
caretaker which and don't worry about where this happens in relation to their birthday and
why Stan remembers this much. It's not that important. Yeah, I think
it's fine. I buy it personally. One thing that happens on stanin Ford's
adventures through the multiverse defined Mabel is that they get picked up by an interdimensional
trucker who does not trust Stanford pines because he is one a wanted criminal in
nearly every dimensions as a subversion, so Stan, both being amused that he
is no longer the stup twin and just being amused in general, h suggests
that him cuffed in the back and I sit in the front, and he's
just clearly living for it. Well, Ford is so miserable, Yeah,
because how many times do you think Ford, like was judgmental to Stand about
criminal record. Yeah, it turns out Ford has many more criminal records.
Stand has a criminal record in one of the only dimensions where Ford's various crimes
were never caught, because again he does steal toxic wins both of them.
So I like where it ends up with with Dipper and Mabel, where Mabel
uh gets a journal from someone named May Dipper, the Dipper variant of Mabel,
and it's a so it is a journal of mysteries from another dimension.
Yeah, well, I mean I guess it's implied that it's a a blank
journal because she says it's time to start new adventures. I think it's more
like we don't see the contents of the book and we don't know what they'll
be looking into from this point on, and that's up to our imagination.
Okay. I guess I always got the pine Tree as the implication that like,
this is yours and you should. Well, I guess I don't know
why May Bipper would be carrying around a blank journal, though I think maybe
I think in May Bipper's dimension, everyone is Dipper, so that is that
Okay. I thought it was only a swap of that that's that's Fipper's journal
that he left here when he got trapped in another dimension during a fight with
his brother, with his twin brother Stipper. And he has pine trees for
hands, No, he has he has a birthmarks of one of his fingers
is just a birthmark of a of a. Oh, he has big dippers
for fingers. He has a big Dipper fingers. Really hard to write.
I can't read any event. I think, I think you know, And
that's what we can all do is work past the challenges that that we were
borned. Ye that's true. And you know, if you if you have
a big dippers for figures, you could still become a successful writer. Maybe
he dictates, Maybe he dictates, and and mcgiffer dip fipper Ford. Yeah
right, I like that as a moment, but I don't really I don't
really understand it because she says, like it's time for us to start some
new adventures and this time I won't always hog the spotlight. Maybe you're not
hogging anything. You just had a better social life than Dipper. And we're
up to more. That she's a girl, Oh right, she's a girl
in a in a TV show and she's not allowed to have anything or just
a girl. People talk that way about girls in really true. You're right.
The only hog I want to see is the is May May and the
hog on the a M. Yeah, we can't say that on the air.
And previous guest and spittleman of this show, Adam new voiced Wattles for
us. Oh yeah, that was great. Oh perfect. During the part
where Mabel was petting Wattles, Adam was not making the sound I wanted,
so I started scratching his hair and then suddenly that resulted him in him making
the pocket sound. So that is the recording that is in the video of
me petty Adam. That's adorable. Come on this, gell me some one
on what pig time before summer is over. So as much as I,
you know, I question like the overall concept of this story. I like
the places that it goes, and I love the art here. Not to
not to butter up the person that I that we are closest with who worked
on the book. Serena's art is fantastic. It's it's my favorite drawings in
this book. So Alex discovered Serena by saying, like which fan artists are
best at drawing the Pines family and saw that as one of the most common
responses Kiki kit and this was uh in his first industry job and first voice
actic gig for the video over. Oh wow cool. But one if I
were to make a critique, it's that there are way more three quarter angles
in this one than the other stories, because when you're drawing fan art,
you don't want it to be hard to see. I get that, and
I do love I'm believe Comics Up was drawn by Meredith Grant and those drawings
are are fantastic in their own way, or at least the like the outside
the real world, the Smebuloch, the Schmebulac narration, and the surrounding parts
of comory. Yeah, yeah, so I love those drawings. Now,
I wonder if the reason they hire that he hired Granulac for the Schmebuloc parts
is because they kind of saybe yeah, maybe there's some distant relation there.
Oh I could draw Uncle Schmebulock. Sure, yeah, Meredith, Meredith once
every thousand years can only say Grenulac. Have you met her? No?
I haven't, but she does. She still teaches at SBA, the school
I went to, Okay, so I've heard very good things from both that
and this. But however, the art of the next one, Jersey Devil's
in the Details, also known as Pinesbro's Mystery. It has a different name
in the table of contents than it does in the title because it's shorter.
I guess is illustrated by Dana Teix, and Dana definitely shows yeah, yeah,
yeah. It has a very aul house look to it, and Dana
Terarris and Alex appear in the group of freaks, with Dana Terris dressed as
a cat girl and Alex just in a vest, which and I don't understand
why he's joined a freak show. To Alex to the guy who only wears
flannel all the time, that is freaky, He's like, whoa, Oh,
you're right, Alex in a suit. I imagine that the two of
them really wanted to go into a freak show but weren't particularly deformed. So
she dressed up as a cat and was like, I'm a cat person,
ah, and they're like wha. I don't know. It reminds me of
in a Series of Unfortunate Events, where all the freak show people are like
that's people that are just like, oh no, my left hand is equally
as strong as my right hand. My this is the only story here that
I don't have any notes on. I love Jersey Devils in the Details so
much. I love every single moment. I I am so excited that they
are exploring this story. When I when I saw stand and Ford as kids
in Tale two Stands, I was like, we get more of that,
and I was like, we didn't, eh, but we did in the
comic, and this feels the most organic of all the concepts. I think,
face it and don't dimension it feel like directly addressing the fandom's complaints and
comics Up is making meta jokes we never got to make before because we never
is the format, and then this is just a story they wanted to tell.
This is the only one that feels like a lost lesson. Yes,
and so the I love. I only note on this new read through that
the page before it, where she might be like is queuing it up,
has a photograph of young Stan eating aspestos cereal. So the Jersey Devil,
for those who don't know, is an urban legend in New Jersey. New
Jersey is the most overpopulated state. They are one and a half thousand people
per square mile on average in New Jersey, and you often might have your
backyard as someone's front door. But the exception is there's an area towards Atlantic
City in the south near Philadelphia called the Pine Barrens, which pine trees are
notoriously hard to cut, and so it is the only sparsely distanced part of
all of New Jersey. So you're driving and all of a sudden you're in
the middle of Kentucky for no reason. It's terrifying. Everything about it is
terrifying. We had to make a U turn, so we pulled into a
car lot and then saw the sign for the car lot was spray painted on
an old, abandoned school bus, and we're like, this is terrifying.
Let's speed out of here. The story of the Jersey Devil actually originated.
The folklore story is that Jane Leads was forced to keep getting pregnant by her
husband, so she demanded that the thirteenth child be the devil, and it
was born with hoofs. The actual explanation is that one there are a lot
of herons in the Pine Barrens, which look very different overhead than they do
from a profile. They look exactly like terodactyls when they're flying. And two
Leeds was a real dude. He ran a competing almanac with Benjamin Franklin and
they would sling mud at each other to try to get less sales for each
other's competing almanacs. Eventually, Ben Franklin was just like, well, I
don't care what he says about me, because he's dead. They're like what,
They're like, Yeah, I don't know who's running the almanac, but
Leeds has been dead for years. And eventually, and this took a while
to happen because of how spaced out things were before the invention of the motor
vehicle, someone was like, hey, I just saw him, and Ben
Franklin said, look, all I know is he did die. What he
did between then and now, I'm not sure. And so to sell the
almanac, he started spreading that Leeds died and was resurrected as a demon,
and that got so widespread that it is still a folklore that has regularly talked
about in my state to this day. I love that so much, and
that's who Stanborroughs are hunting today. Yeah, are so many deep New Jersey
cuts in this because there's no such thing as the Journal. Yet they have
a magazine of Weird Mysteries, which references Weird New Jersey Magazine, a magazine
largely dedicated to the Jersey Devil or abandoned spots in New Jersey, and the
quote at the bottom of the page says, baby I was born to run
away, Little Bruce E s age eleven because Bruce Springsteen had not yet written
New Jersey's state anthem, Born to run about getting away from your toxic home.
Weird thing to choose is your state anthem. They finally got to have
their Bruce Springsteen joke that they wanted in tail it too. Yeah. It
is based on a joke from Tale of Two Stands written by Josh Weinstein,
that is, I drove out into that New Jersey night like well, I
was driving away from my home and well, there weren't really any songs to
describe it. Yeah. When Stan left the house, I was curious why
Josh Weinstein knows enough about New Jersey that he because it was never officially made
our state anthem. There was. It's just the most popular campaign to have
a state anthem at all. Yeah. Highest State Pride Life host national pride
as it should be. I finally found the smoking gun on why Josh Weinstein
would know these deep New Jersey cuts. Josh Weinstein is from Washington, d
C. However, at a certain point, it says on his Wikipedia Weinstein
did not land a job on a major comedy series, despite writing numerous specscripts
for shows such as Saturday Night Live and Late Night with David Letterman, he
moved back home to Washington, d C. So, geographically, if your
parents live in d C, but the jobs you're applying to Saturday Night Live
in Letterman are in New York City, where would he have moved to.
Yeah, that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah.
I also like the on the Jersey Devil page, the what you think it
ain't real? You think you're better than me and make a pentagram out of
Hogi's to summon Yes, Yeah, which is a hogi is a specific that's
a Filadelphia food, So that's a specifically South Jersey. For those who don't
know anything about New Jersey, sorry, New Jersey. Jersey is half Philadelphia
and half New York. Yeah, New Jersey has no identity of its own.
But the rural parts of Pennsylvania are nothing like Philadelphia, and the rural
parts of New York are nothing like New York City. So New Jersey is
suburbs that are kind of vaguely like Philadelphia and New York City. And that's
why I call North Jersey and South Jersey as if they're two different states,
because one is Philadelphia and one's New York City. It's true, and it's
the jerseyst possible thing they could have written for this thing. As well as
all of the boardwalk stuff, a lot of this takes place. You know,
there's a freak show at a circus. There's like an old arcade sort
of thing. They go to peep the lady. Well, there is a
ride called Satan's Hellhole. I love that they are just able to say how
we'll be safe in there. And I knew that I had somehow blanked out
because I was more used to the audio than the visuals. That the thing
he's pointing out when he says that is called Satan's Hell Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, Because as a roberin Zetti told us, Disney TBA has
an internal standards in practices and Disney Press and Disney Publishing do not. Yeah,
which is also why they're able to just straight up kill the sibling brothers,
but not really they do. Yeah. So the sibling brothers, who
have been mentioned many times at this point they were the detectives that saw it
who stole the capers, are now seen as real people in standin for his
hometown, and they were the most fun to voice in the commed. Oh
yeah, I made sure that Ella and I recorded it in one sitting in
the same room, Me on my roommates mic and Ella on my mic as
Dickey and Ascott Dickie's sibling and ascot sibling I believe is their name. Yes,
Leaping Cove captains well the sibling brother I said, no one cracks.
I can't buy quicker than us, Ain't that right, Scott? You bet
your loafis Dicky and I'd say it's drueble o'clock At Kolu Cove. They love
flavorless malts Sandy. This calls for a flavorless malt, the joke being that
those are neckwear, not that they say chicken ass by the way, Sure
let's go with that, but they are chicks and asses. So yeah,
they are real and they are are well respected super sleuts in the town.
And uh we did this sort of you know, Transatlantic accent, yes,
Transatlantic accent, and tried to go into a kind of a twelve year old
pitchy and I while recording it, I noticed that Ella is way more obnoxious
with that than me, So I kept trying to like push it into even
more annoying to one up Ella. It became this, this, this feedback
loop of obnoxious Transatlantic accss and I have the perfect clip to demonstrate that after
you, no, after you, after you, after you. The reason
that they murder the sibling brothers is to steal their outfits and sneak into the
lighthouse that is important to the treasure hunt to find the Jersey Devil. Oh
just shove it. Oh my god, we killed the Sabling brothers. Want
to steal their outfits and impersonate them to get into the lighthouse. Logical,
that's logical. This disguise completely fools the lighthouse keeper or his name isn't horrible
eyesight Hawkins. Why it's clearly the Sabling brothers or my horrible eyesight hocket.
Uh So, not only did I finally get a video that surpassed a million
views, but I got to voice a pirate in it. I please watch
this video. It's so I love horrible eyesight Hawkins. He's he's such a
good he's a good guy, like he means, well, he's just got
horrible eyesight. I was trying to build like a combination glass shard beach uh
each city Melee island in Minecraft once and we realized that right outside the lighthouse
there was a sunken ship, which is something that kind of just occur in
Minecraft. We're like, that's the place that it's least likely to crash a
ship. And then we're like, wait, that was horrible eyesight Hawkins.
Shit, that's how he inherited the lighthouse because he crashed his ship into it
and could not leave. Also, Phobrick Pines standing Ford's dad sucks, And
it's weird that this narrative tries to make us forget that. I think I
think it's still in there. It is more realistic to how twelve year olds
who live with their dad still would talk about their dad versus Yeah, adults
thinking about it in retrospect. Yeah, they're like, oh, I'm traumatized.
Then, Ponds, he needs you, So I come down to the
pawn job for a nice day of overcharging tourists for buffalo nickel. And what
do I say, Archie opter barf? What of barf? I find my
swankiest gold chain missing from its case. What you say if we did this?
Pot, No, I'm saying you did this Stanley. First there was
missus cramp Pelter's glass eye. Then there was your crab fighting ring. You're
always pickpocketing and monkey shining, and this is the last straw. But if
it was Stanford, all day told six sir, Yeah, Pop, I
know Stanley's got a reputation, but this time it's really not him. You
really want to stick your neck out for goofus over here? Then prove it,
smart guy. You've got twenty four hours to find the chain or Stanley
is gonna be grounded indoors for the rest of the summer. The best voice
acting performances in anything I've ever made, I think definitively are Stephen As twelve
year old Ford Pines and Ray As twelve year old Standpines Ray and Ray is
from New Jersey like me. She has a thicker accent than I, as
some of you may have noticed, and also is a very good impressionist,
so she kept doing a perfect stand voice, and I was like, dial
it back, and the performance we wound up with sounds so much to me,
like if the character of gr Uncle Stan was real, what would he
sound like before? And Stephen speaks very clearly and often voices nerdy characters,
Isabella Paradott, Lisa Simpson. I actually offered Ella the role of kid Ford
Pines, and Ella said you should give it to Stephen, which was the
correct choice. I'll play them some clips of them talking, because I just
it's so so good. Yeah, a Ford, Why do you think Pau's
so hard on me? Do you really think I'm a bad kid? What?
No, It's just you like taking shortcuts and sometimes it gets you into
trouble, you know it Just times it feels like Pau hates me. Our
old man just has a short fuse. No matter what anyone says, you're
a good kid. Stanley Schmebuloc has also written a ballad of the Stanbros.
To the tune of Sailing Sailing. At the end of this story, well
do you know what the most popular version of sailing Sailing is? How most
people have heard of that song? Because yes, it was composed in eighteen
eighty by James Frederick Swift, who doesn't have a Wikipedia article. So why
do people know about this song? Because it is in the nineteen sixty one
Goofy short Aquamania and is repeatedly referenced in Muppet Treasure Island in several different songs.
Yeah, sure about it, sad and now we're in that. So
this is a Disney song that has written the words effectively. Yes, it
also appears in Disney sing Along Songs, Volume six, under the scene.
I remember that. Why do That's weird? That's a very specific memory.
I love that there is a parody of a song that everyone associates with Disney.
I will just play the song, I guess no reason optive. Yeah,
Stanley Stanford over the bounding see one of the Brave and the other was
Stanley, and surestan still travels foreign lands with fists and brains and bodily pains.
Nothing can stop the Stands. Stanford bravely teaches mat two Well. Stan
will flirt with mermaid gels and probably will fail. Swashboklings, boiling Monsters reunited
at last, riding the Beast. Nothing can stop the Stands. It was
Brian Carroll's idea to go the other was Stanley. Oh, these illustrations are
also uh, Meredith Graham, I believe it looks like yeah, which is
fantastic. So the stan brothers began an adventure of a lifetime, the kind
of adventure that would make a great movie. Honestly, maybe a mini series?
Is that too much to ask? Honestly, would it kill them to
give us some new adventures after summer comes fall a whole new season if you
will. It can't be the only one who wants another season, right right?
I've invested so much time in these characters' lives. They can't just leave
me. Why lust of us bad? What would it take for the gravity
balls? All these meta jokes about him wishing there was a stand in Ford
spinoff movie or mini series, and it ends with him making peace with the
idea that he has spent his entire life obsessing over these stories about others and
not lived his life. But I suppose all tales must end. As an
old Gnomish proverb, the goc traka, which I believe translates to every sunset
leads to a sunrise by the badge of the Gnome was choking on a pine
cone. Perhaps it is time for me to stop observing and start living my
own stories as if he had just sat there for fifty two weekly episodes just
with a fine tooth comb going over. You can't do that forever, Ella.
The real was the friends we made along the way. Schmanbuloc, I
am really happy to have gone on this journey with you guys. The good
news is that it's this is not quite over yet, because well Schmebuloc has
been very gracious as to let us into his Hall of Conspiracies today. Actually,
oh, can we fit before I return to my prison of silence?
I offer you one last secret. There is a message hidden in this book,
and the only true way to find that message is the Hall of Conspiracy.
So at the end of the book, Schmebuloc states that there is a
secret message coded in this book, and the only way to find it is
and that is the moment when the sun rises and the curse is broken.
And all he says is Schmebuloc. But there are actually many codes hidden throughout
this book. On one of the first pages, there's a Caesar code that,
when decoded, states a fandom's work is never done. So here's some
tales just for fun. You wanted more. You got your wish. Don't
stress, it's only canon ish. In co mix up on the first panel
of the grim Dark Chronicles section, symbols on the gravestones translate to Bill Lives
or possibly Bill Lives, it's Bill lives. Now you're doing everybody tonight.
It's it's me, It's Bill. I'm I'm on TV. I thought,
I thought, well, live sounds like a video game term. Yeah,
yeah, defeated Bill. He responded, Bill lives like you live streams,
he would be. He would be like a Twitch streamer and do a collab
with Anti Ford. We'll get that in a second. Oh my gosh.
Yes. Codes on page ten fifty one, ninety five and one eighteen combined
to spell out to find a spider search the web. The Visionaire phrase for
the code on the table of contents, which translates to schmeb you unlocked.
Who So schmeb you unlocked brought you to again to search search the web.
So it's a website, and surprisingly it's still I was very impressed to find
that this was still up. A lot of the other secret websites that we've
discussed in the All of Conspiracies are now defunct, but this one is still
up on a Disney site. Yeah, very impressive. You get a You're
greeted with Schmebulac, who says, greetings, paranoid, antisocial code cracker of
the Internet. If you are here, that means you, like me,
have an insatiable thirst for the secrets of gravity falls. Welcome to my private
study or stockatorium. Will I collect my most elusive files by all means creep
around your heart's content. So there's nine books that you can click on that
reveal different files with a bunch of lore and other secrets. So the first
page is a character bio for Schmebuloss's q lock, the third which tracks because
Schmebulock Senior was his dad. Also listed is his height, which is listed
as three feet or in no measurements sixteen caterpillar meters. He easily fits into
lunchboxes, cargo pockets, and overhad storage compartments. He's often mistaken for an
old baby. We finally answered that question, and he is shunned from both
Greasy Steiner and all of society. His arch enemy, of course, isticts
the Vowelless, a dark warlock who got in a fight with Shmebuloc over whose
beard was grayer and cursed him to only speak his own name. The curse
can only be defeated if Schmebuloc casts the orb of Elvin Moore to the Chasm
of Garlock. But the orb is super heavy, and like the Chasm of
Garlock, is a major commute. So there's also every on each of these
pages that you can click on a different Visionaire code with the same key that
is inside Job, except you encrypt it instead of decrypt it. You do
the job. And I don't know, I don't remember how people found the
key, do you know, Showman, they probably just proot forested again,
and I assume they did. That's so funny that the key on the site
is inside Job and the there are all these owl House sneak peaks in Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Alex used his position of power as a creator of
a popular TV show to get TV shows for his friends that have not had
the same opportunities and come from underprivileged groups. So uh yeah, and then
he's hyping them up using the final piece of gravity falls media. Yeah.
I have to wonder how how where this was in the Inside Job the chronology
of development. I guess well, it wasn't announced yet. Yeah, it
wasn't announced, but it probably was in development because I know that Inside Job
didn't come out too much longer after Owl House did, and owl House had
been greenlit at this point, right, And I have to imagine they at
least had a title at this point. And it fits the vibe of all
these secret Dots days. The next one is for Dicky and Ascot's sibling aka
the Sibling Brothers. Their profession is meddling kids. Their shoe style is goodie
too. They like flavorless malts and saying aha. Their notable cases include the
case of the Caper Case Caper, the horrifying hair raising happenstance at Hyperbole Hall,
the befuddling scuttle Butt of the Scuttled Butler's Cuttlefish hut. Their hobbies as
kids included going at church and finishing each other's sentences, while their hobbies as
adults include going to jail and finishing each other's life sentences. That's a really
good joke. The visionair code on this page reads that the Sibling brothers were
stalked by unemployed doc worker Jenkins W. Jenkins, who turned their exploits into
cheap, terrible novels that were enjoyed by all. And this like solved an
aneurysm for me, because when I was reading a Lost Legends, I was
like, well, but no, but their novel characters that different. How
does this make? And it's like, okay, so they were just they
just got ripped off into novels. So it's interesting that they they they solved
this is this discrepancy that would have exploded my brain otherwise that these are somehow
real people in gravity falls. But you have to go to the secret website
and decode the Visionaire code with the key not given to you to understand this
discrepancy. And I'm okay with that, all right. Next to one name,
mister Whats's face Deals offers discount rates on poker faces, clock faces,
and resting witch faces, slogans why the long face because you haven't called me
yet, poker Buddies, Jimmy Lemmy the Hut. His name's let me Jimmy
in the book, and it's written as Jimmy. Maybe Jimmy Lemmy is his
name, but Lemmy Jimmy is his professional that's his Lemmy is the adjective he
puts before his name. It just also so happens to be a Sir Jimmy
Lemmy. Maybe in a elementary school there was another Jimmy, so they called
him Lemmy. Jimmy like, let me call me Jimmy, but his name
is Jimmy Lemmy. Gotcha, Poker Buddies, Jimmy Lemmy. The hide Behind
and the Summerween Trickster r I p oh? Is that why he was carrying
around his mask to honor his fallen friends, honor his fallen But he died.
He died happy though he did die with his one wish fulfilled. He
did. Oh. The reason the reason that the Summeren Trickster is also listed
as a friend of mister Watson's face is both contain references in their design to
no face from Spirited Away, so saying well, yeah, there's two no
faces. That's why they hung out? Should I? Poker Buddies description a

That's what he does when he blows you a kiss, because there's like
a little puff of smoke. Yes, yes, yes, muff lurks at
the shadows of gravity Falls, preying on the vein and impulsive. Once tried
to sell a new face to Seuss but was told always has an ace up
his sleeve and a face of his sleeve. He is too sleep weaknesses,
exploding. Sam likes sandwiches, dislikes hand witches. I doesn't like the hand
witch's minority. She can't account for tape. He's an icon, Yeah,
a fashion icon. She's a hand con. The visionaire cod translates to favorite
movie face off, of course, face face. I want to take Pacificus
face off. You mean you want to take her faces That's right, I
want to take her face. Oh. That was my first ever attempt at
doing the submurby trickster voice there. That was good, perfect perfection. I
love that they also propose a face off in Time Pirates and then there's a
lot of face off references. It's an iconic film. Love that movie.
It's love face off. Next, we have the profile for Pacific a lease
Northwest blood type Blue net Worth Yauser, winner of Little Miss gravity Falls preteen
beauty pageant and Northwest Scholarship for Northwest to Northwest private school sponsored by the Northwest.
She was given a small woe of a million dollars. She was featured
odd Weft Styles of the Rich and Cashuless on the Jealousy Network, which is
the first Howard Cosell reference I've ever heard from a millennial. However, boomers
love referencing Howard Cosell because he was loud, and so my dad to this
day calls the mute button on the remote the Howard Welcome to Weft styles of
the Rich again, Where's the Howard button? Where I keep the Howard button
on? This damn clicker because I'm from out so I call it clicker.
Does your mom call it a clicker? Ella? She doesn't call it a
clicker, and that I've heard maybe she's just My mom calls it a click
e a clickie. Yeah, clicker is the South Jersey slash Philadelphia slang for
it. And it makes me want to die like no, yes, you
can make it go click that's not its only purpose and you tried putting it
at the TVEE. I had never it had never occurred to me that the
reason my mom says clickie might be an offshoot of the fact that she's from
New Jersey, From New Jersey. Yeah, her hobbies are mini golf,
beauty pageants, pony stacking, fox hunting. It's actually just Toby Determined dressed
as a fox. No one knows why he does this. Well, don't
don't judge, don't judge. He was really into the what does the Fox
Say? Music video for a very short amount of times. Been investigating that
for years. I think he's just a furry Yeah, and we love that.
We love that for bodacious secret hobbies. Is a level one hundred death
slayer on first person shooter game blood Craft over Death plays as Platinum Paths.
Is also secretly good at puns, but tells no one, Wait a minute,
I just realized that in the S and P video that Alex posted,
please revise Seus's line about dressing as a giant teddy bear. It may call
to mind the people who dress up as stuffed animals as a furry fetish.
Do I even have to respond to this that Disney TVA S and P did
not like implications that characters were furries, But Disney Publishing is like, hell,
yeah, because the furries, they got that cash that buys them books.
It's true, true, Why do furries all have disposable. It's fine.
It's because they drink the respect women juice. Most of them do,
and so they're paid kindly for it by the universe. Yeah, her natural
hair color is inconclusive. Mabel was once heard to remark, your parents are
both brunettes. Let's get real, girl. I don't know why I'm referring
to furriys externally, as though I haven't. I made like three separate personas
in my life. But your favorite food is pheasant stuffed with lops, her
stuffed with ravioli, stuffed with only the most ironic New Yorker cartoons. So
it's sort of like a Turduccan, except it's fellaw raviorcre perfect. And her
actual favorite food is deep fried anything interesting, and the visionair code translates to
got a waitress job at Greasy's Diner after the summer ended, thinks about the
Pines Twins every day. Aw, that's adorable, vaguely gesturing in the direction
of giving up some of her privilege. So this, this next page is
an illustration for an idea Susid Frustration by Robert Ryan Corey. Clearly, yes,
this is an idea that Seuss had for a comic series called Mystery Racers,
illustrated by his cousin Reggie. Oh so Reggie is kind of there in
universe Robert Ryan Corey. Huh, my cousin registers that like to draw monsters.
You must know monsters, That's what my cousin Regis says. Unfortunately,
Stan demanded one hun what does it say, one hundred and stand demanded one
hundred and fifty in royalties to use his likeness, an amount of money that
is mathematically impossible. So we have here Mystery Racers, which is clearly our
reference to Rat Fink, which is that character that I don't know how to
explain it. So Ratfink is one of several hot Rod characters created by artist
Big Daddy, also known as ed Roth, and is one of the originators
of custom culture of automobile enthusiasts. Yeah, Roth conceived Ratfink as an anti
hero to Mickey Mouse and ye kind of shows. He kind of shows,
and so is Stam for that matter. Stan is conceived as someone that Disney
Channel would not want on their channel, and they did for some reason.
Okay, this next one has to be yeah name, anti Mabel personality,
anti lovable, wanted for stealing weapons grade plutonium, overthrowing the government, and
using a giant laser to carve a frown on the moon. She did what
schairface Chippendale failed, absolutely a chairface Chippindale, the tick reference. Likes black
coffee, the color beige, German expressionism, financial newspapers with the point one
size font, long tense silences, dislikes, liking things, favorite food,
picking the rainbow marshmallows out of her Lucky Leprechaun cereal and just eating the grain
part without milk, which I can relate to. I don't like milk.
I don't like milk in my cereal either. I use a form and everybody
always, everybody always compares me to the girl from get Out, which makes
me uncomfortable. I don't love milk, but I don't like getting crumbs everywhere,
and getting the cereal to stick to the spoon is a really effective face.
That's fair. That's fair. I feel like, just for me,
it's I don't like cereal becoming a race against time before it gets incredibly soggy.
And oh, I just eat very I've always eaten very quickly. People
make fun of me for it. I feel like that's the solution. Yeah.
So what I do is I pour the milk until the cereal moves,
and then I use a fork to eat it. Oh, that's that's pro
gamer. That's what I do is I put frozen milk at the bottom of
the bowl and then it gradually turns to milk as I eat the cereal.
That I made that up, but it might work. I was going to
say that light work. But I'm saying you eat your cereals so fast that
it's not going to melt in time. I know, I know, it's
not just cereal. I just I'm a very quick eater. It's me too.
Yeah, but I do love that you use a fork. That is
an amazing bit of Shelby lor Well. It makes sense because then you're eating
the cereal with the texture. That's good. But you don't have to drink
milk while doing it. Yes, yeah, you got. You got your
own little mini calendar there. It's true. My family does not understand it,
but I'm glad that you do. My sound family understands it, of
course. But you are anti Mabel's acquaintances. Oh well, anti Mabel's acquaintances
are anti Dipper and incorrigible flirt oh, Anti Dipper, Yeah, you rat
scallion, Anti Stan, a charity obsessed hippie, Anti Ford, a wannabe
you Twop star slash part time DJ, Anti Seuss, a Forbes billionaire,
Anti Waddles, the first pig to ever go to jail for armed robbery.
Uh. I don't know the name off the top of my head. I'll
have to track it down. But someone did fan art of these anti characters
and it's amazing, Like someone Lego Loopis did and actually asked for a picture
of my streaming setup to draw. Oh wow, a reference picture anti form.
That's amazing. I don't remember if it was that person. I'll have
to find it if I remember. To what's uh, what's Anti Mabele up
to now? Well, she did make a brief stop to hang out with
Bill Ceipher in the multiverse she did, Yeah, neither of them enjoyed it,
and a comic dove I did from my boss legends fancy yes, but
her current location is revenge plotting her way through the mindscape. The Visionaire code
says some set the Anti Bill is a very polite purple square who whispers believe
in yourself to people while they sleep. He is very boring. Can I
also head canum, but Anti Bill has your voice just saying that, like
how you just said it. I'll accept it, Anti Mabel and Anti Bill.
I love the purple square though, because that is basically the tad strapless
traumatized by purple squares. Yeah. Also it kind of resembles will Will Cipher,
which was the reverse false version. Yeah. The next is Tater Tate
McGucket. We finally learn Tate's name is Tater and Tate is a nickname beautiful.
His parents are Fiddleford mcgugget and mm A Dixon formerly Mma McGucket. Isn't
that a reference to something? I have no idea. I think it's a
Beverly Hill billy's references. That's Ellie May. Ellie May is supposed to say.
I think it is. Yeah, I know a lot about the Beverly
Hillbillies. Well that's that's interesting, because I know a lot about money for
nothing. Only if only there was a situation in which your combined skills could
be I don't know. I don't know. And he works at Tate and
Backel's Fate and Tackle. I want to meet Backel. Where's so good?
Maybe? Maybe I think the Bacle probably died, and so every year on
Christmas, Tate is visited by the ghosts of Backel and three other spirits in
life. I was your partner, Buckles, funny, I'm backl here are
my shackles. His skills are selling fishing supplies, growing sideburns, saying yep.
And he is described by all who know him as a simple man.
But his secret shame is that he scored so high on the S A T
s that the grating machine exploded. He can predict the stock market and weather
patterns. He guesses the correct Oregon State lottery numbers every year, but tell
no one I love him. He is currently residing in Northwest Manor, which
was renamed mcgugget's Hooton Nanny Hut with two points. That's in the ad.
Yes, Preston Northwest does not care for this name. Well, I don't
care for Preston Northwest. Huh what do you see? What is happening here?
The visionair code translates to there are at least six ghosts left in Northwest
Mansion. Tatan Fidds are working on a machine to bust though I have to
assume that raccoon wife is his stepmother. Now here's the question in regards to
Tate Fits and raccoon wife, which of them does busting make feel good?
And which of them could take or leave it? I think mcguckett it definitely
feels good to McGucket to Fiddleford like take probably take it or leave it?
That feels right. Yeah, And the raccoon wife hates busting. Yeah,
raccoon wife's makes raccoon noises which are subtitled busting makes me feel bad. Yeah,
exactly. So now he comes to everyone's favorite member of the Pines family,
Phil Brick Elmer Pines just like the real name of Butch Hartman. Oh
no, Philbrick Elmer Pines owns Pines Pawns, New Jersey's least fun pawn shop.
His prior jobs were construction worker, concrete poor and comic book sensor.
Some people are actually paid to ruin jokes, Yes, Alex, I know
you've talked about this at length with us, and I was very grateful for
the opportunity. So I guess Phil Brick invented the Comics Code Authority as well.
Evil. He's been overheard saying, so Taffy, what am I made
of money, We'll buy regular water taffy in this family. Also, congrats
to Pottercossaul for having your finale at the same time as ours. Oh yeah.
He is married to Karen Romanov, Pines caring mother and kleptomaniac. He
likes money, putting steak as a condiment on steak, and cowboy movies where
everyone dies. Grandpa the Kids? Does everyone die in Grandpa the Kids spoilers?
Does he die of old age? Yeah, that's the ending. Uh?
Oh no, that's why he's tired during the day he's dying. The
original family name, the name of Pines, was reportedly introduced at Ellis Island,
but records of the original name have been lost. Hmm, do you
have fan theories about this or no? I don't. Uh? May I
talk about it after you read the Yeah, I think I get what you're
what you're gonna say. But the Visionaire code says that he never wiped number
one Dad off his gold chain, probably because you forgot, because he never
actually cared about his children, because he sucks guys. Uh So. Interestingly,
Romanov could be Karen Pine's middle name. If it is, However,
her maiden name that means a lot because no one is supposed to have that
name anymore. Oh my god, because the Romanov family was all murdered.
I just thought you were going to say that. I mean, it doesn't
maybe it doesn't work timeline wise. I thought you're just gonna say that the
Pines family is Jewish. But no, I was saying that the name Romanov
is a reference to the rumor that one daughter of the Romanov family survived.
Oh her name, Anastasia, are different Mabel, the great grandchildren of the
real life Anastasia, little Karen Beware resputants a work. I think that she
is related to that one lady who drops the fur coat and says, eats
me perfect, Anastasia in the movie Anastasia. No, that's her. Actually,
yeah, that's what happened to fur coat lady. Yeah, that's what
happened to for coat lady. Meant it moved to New Jersey. See,
I was taking that as this scam artist made it her middle name and it's
part of her stage name for fortune telling. It could be either that.
It could be either I don't know. Because you have you have a family
where there's a Cara, one of them is named Mason, So like this
is just Smebiloc has made a comics page inspired by SEUs, and at the
top it says Seuss's comics inspired me to draw my own comic page. I
tried submitting it to the Gravity Folds Gossiper, but the editor said I was
too derivative. Everyone's a critic. My favorite illustration is definitely Seuss in the
loco mine would My favorite is the family Circus. Yeah. So the The
tagline of Gravity Funnies is every day until print does so. The first here
is a Calvin and Hobbes reference called Candy and Grenda. I guess it's it's
the two of them sledding down a hill, and Candy says, do you
speak? Snowstorm makes me ponder this fickle construction of the human condition. Grenda
responds, I made out with a snowman. I love it all right.
The next one is called Nobody Likes Thompson, and it is Garfield without Garfield
Yeah, and he has drawn like John Arbuckle. And the two middle comics
are him just sitting in silence, which is clearly a reference to Garfield without
Garfield Yeah, or Garfield minus Garfield and Ella do you want to take Thompson.
Yeah, oh boy, unflavored yogurt, no missed calls after he checks
his phone. I have that's amazing that there's a Garfield without Garfield. I
love that it's Garfield without Garfield. There's what is this one's supposed to look
like the biggest too? That pig is too big is Marmaduke, And oh
Marmaduke. So so the Marbaduke one has a very very it's called that pig
is too Big, and it has a very very large wattles sitting on Mabel's
lap as Mabel says what. There's the far side, which is called the
Ford dimension and has a moose with tentacles coming out of a portal. A
moose, A dimension with a moose. Yeah, and the text is just
Ford saying I blame McGucket. Bodacious Tea and a. In a reference to
the Kathy comics, has has an issue called Swimsuit Season where he's just looking
at himself in the mirror in a bikini and going ah, which was Kathy's
catchphrase. Uh. There is gleeful Supper, which is it appears that Gideon's
mom is trying to get him to say grace before dinner and in any family
circus style comic. But what is what does Gideon say, Ella, I
pray to know God but capitalism. There is working Wendy, which is Dilbert
and pointy hair stand says Wendy do some work and Shelby take it. I
hate work. If only there was a way to solve this, and then
she burns down the building. Next is Little Dipper in Subconscious Phill, which
is a reference to Nemo in Dreamland. Yes, little Nemo in Dreamland.
Uh, there is a picture of me in the Little Nemo bed. There
is a physical replica of the bed that Dipper is in at the Comic Museum
in Brussels, Belgium. And my wife took a picture of me, so
I'll see if we can put that in the thumbnail or something. Yes,
and Dipper is saying cryptogram, I don't know, it's right under the under
the paid Oh it's Dipper in a in in Visionaire is saying Ceipher lives while
venturing around in the Little Nemo bed. And then he wakes up from his
slumber and falls out of his bed and says, oh, oh, I
am quite distraught. I should never eaten that rare bit oh um, so
I think this one is eas yerking. The next one says treasure. The
President's Key origin created in seventeen ninety seven by Washington as a way to hide
all of his scandalous sketchings of women's ankles from King George, was passed down
from president to president until it was swallowed by Quentin Trembley to preserve its power,
and coughed up for dipper Pine till a hundred and fifty years later.
That was my attempt at doing Jerry. Oh yeah, Chris Parnell, Ya
tastes like licking at Grandpa can unlock. The Washington Monument, which is actually
a giant music box and spins and plays Yankee Doodle when you crank it.
The Lincoln Memorial, under which are the hidden bones of link Loops, the
one hundred foot cyclops with a saddle on it that Abe Lincoln rode into battle
during the Civil War. The President's Cabinet, a chest buried under the White
House containing the never before seen final draft of the Constitution, which contains the
kevinth Amendment granting special rights to anyone named Kevin and in states of prohibition on
side works, and the Visionaire Code says, Trigger and Powers are still looking
for I love how much Alex loves writing jokes about secret government creatures and robots,
which is why he probably was so excited for Inside Job. Yeah,
and probably why he hired Siwon who likes that stuff too. Yeah, they
bonded. Now we're going to do a segment about all of the other miscellaneous
bits and bobs and jyps and drabs that have come out between this and now,
or even between the things we talked about that couldn't sustain their own episode,
that were post series that had the Gravity Falls characters in brought back in
some way. Yes, So starting off on July eighteenth, twenty seventeen,
don't color this book, It's Cursed was released. It is a Gravity Falls
coloring book by Emmy Sisiiga and Stephanie Roman here as featuring a cameo by I
believe Ammy Ciceria's father, who posed for a drawing of stand that was creepily
realistic. The Computer Man. The reason the Cisirigas are the way they are
is that he repaired computers for a living, and Neil says, I never
recall a time where we had less than three computers in my house then explained
so much. Yeah, it's really fun. If you can track it down,
I recommend looking at it. It's a nice little sit. Actually,
it's somehow despite being me, didn't know this exists, never heard of it.
Really, I have like a three quarters of the way colored through one.
I've been working through it for years. But it is absolutely delightful.
Yes, my electric company did send me some crayons yesterday. You should get
the book. I paid my electric bill over the phone, which is a
new experimental thing they're offering, and to thank me for doing that because no
one else is doing it, they sent me a bunch of light bulbs,
power strip and some crayons for absolutely free. Wow. So it's really cute.
There's a page of like potential ships and matchmakes that Mabel had, and
a lot of those are real cute, like Laziest Using and Grunkle Stan.
My favorite is the twins with their clothing swap. So Dipper and Mabel are
dressed like Stan and Ford, and Stan and Ford are dressed like Dipper and
Mabel. Yes, yes, yes, And I believe there was a secret
within it that led you to the SEUs cast, which was like this five
minute clip of SEUs running a podcast. I somehow didn't know about that,
but that one, I'm ninety percent sure it was connected to this book.
Welcome to episode one of SEUs Cast. I'm your host, Seuss. Today's
special guest is the one and only stand Pines from the Mystery track. Give
them a hand applause sound effect. What what is all this recording equipment?
And why are we on the roof? And where's this pole cat you've been
going on about all day? Not pole cat? Podcast when people record their
voices for entertainment like the radio. No way, nobody listens to the radio
anymore. Podcasts are like audiobooks about people who don't want to get jobs.
Why did I get myself into this? That's amazing. In August of twenty
twenty, the Amphibia episode wax Museum, Alex Hirsch voices the museum owning con
Frog named the curator, which I think partially was that inspiration for us calling
ourselves curreac. I think so. I think that's why I was kind of
rattling around. Well, I know it was definitely why I started calling us
curator Ella and curator Charlie, and like tweets. He also voices frog Seuss
and there in Shmebylock does show up. The episode itself is sort of like
an amalgamation of a lot of different gravity Falls episodes, highly influenced by Headhunters,
which is one of my favorite episodes, but it does reference a lot
of different gravity Falls episodes within it. Gotcha and It's fun. It's a
nice revisiting Grunkle Stan and frog Sy and who may be a lock A little
bit sorry, mister Pawns. Do you ever get the feeling that we exist
simultaneously in multiple parallel universes, completely unaware of the other's very existence. You've
been licking yourself again, frog SEUs, got me again, mister Ponds.
In September twenty twenty, Disney Channel uploaded the broken karaoke video call Me Mabel,
a parody of Call Me Maybe by Carl Ray Jebson sung by Mabel.
I haven't met you. You're stable? Then here's my comber. They call
me Mabel. I'm all about that. Seek up for it, so don't
be sad. Can call me rabelund that literally, any boy I am thig
any dead friends except Gideon Gus. This goes up standards and I like it.
It's cute, it's nicely sung. I ninety percent sure it's Christian Schaal
actually singing ITHO it is. Yeah, I somehow have not seen that one.
I have homework now. I need to listen to the suitcast and call
me Mabel. Yeah, I've neglected to listen to call me Mabel. I
was like, I don't think Alex Hirsh had anything to do with this.
I think Disney Channel just called me. I think that's okay. I don't.
I personally am just bothered by and then we'll get into this in one
second. But I am not bothered that much by things that don't involve Alex
Hirsch because it still feels authentic to the show. I know. I just
it's a little apocalyptic. Oh, I get what you're saying. On a
philosophical capitalism level, it's just something I don't like thinking about that often.
Like one time Dan Popenmeyer did a TikTok He's like, well, obviously I
don't own the characters. So and one of the comments said, wait,
how do you not own the characters? You created them? And I believe
there were fifty seven replies and I sent a screenshot of that and said how
quickly was this person radicalized? Yeah? Cartoons are really expensive to make,
and so the way the industry works is that people who are capable of making
them describe them to people who have money, and then the people with the
money say, we will give you the money to make this cartoon provided we
get one hundred uh retention of all imagery and characters. Yeah. Other industries
allow people to negotiate a percentage of royalties off of their work. Television doesn't.
Yeah, yeah, television. There's a lot of unfair practices in TV
animation that we that could take up a whole episode. Really, one question,
Ella, is this call me Mabel on the same tier or a lower
tier than the glom Gold takeover of the Ducktails theme? Nothing will ever be
as good as the Glomgold takeover of the Ducktails theme? Counting top my glam
plan to beat that Scott's man glomb Tails. Technically I'm Scott as well.
Glom Tails screws Taks screws take screws, Taks Screws takes the colmbtails. Okay,
I think what it boils down to for me is like, yeah,
the the fact that the system is the way it is so that that kind
of thing happens without input from the creator sucks. But I don't know if
that That doesn't mean I'm going to inherently discount the product that they come out
with because people did still work on it. It's just the fact that who
is getting money from it. Yeah, that sucks. Yeah, it sucks
that they are able to do gravity falls things without asking Alex Hirsch, but
he is not able to do gravity falls things without asking Disney exactly. It
sucks that the likenesses of his family members are now by corporation, and I
just I guess I wish that people would give those products more of a chance,
bearing in mind that the fact that they were able to happen sucks.
Yeah. Yeah. So Relatedly, on February twenty third, twenty twenty one,
Tales of the Strange and Unexpected the runkle Stand Edition, a parody of
a bedtime storybook, is released. It's basically recaps of the episodes, where
part of it is like from different Mabel's perspective, and then part of it
is the grunkle Stand version, where he gives his own take on what happened
and there was, like, there's a lot of controversy. Alex first heard
about it immediately after learning that the art book had been canceled and no reason
was given, even though it was basically ready to ship. So immediately after
putting all this work into the art book and then just finding it out,
Disney told him, ah, yeah, no, and he's like, what,
you approved it? So he started production on it. Yeah, would
have been done by dark Horse Comics, would have been great, yep,
yep. And it is was basically ready to release and Disney just decided against
it and never gave a reason. And around like literally right after that,
he found out that Tales of the Strange and Unexpected the Grunkle Stand edition existed
and was I think rationally upset given that they are just allowed to do things
and he didn't even know what existed until he tweeted about it. Yeah,
And again it's it's the principle of it more than the actual product, because
like, I don't think this book deserves that he hates, right, I
don't think I'm not saying no one besides Alex should be able to write grunks
Stand. I'm not saying nobody besides Alex should be paid to write Grunkle Stan.
I am saying the fact that he put all this work, yeah,
into a book that just disappeared because Disney said so. Meanwhile, Disney put
out this thing without even asking his opinion on it. I will say that,
like to this day, the Gravity Falls finale is one of the top
ranked finales slash episodes of all time for Disney TVA. So I'm hoping that
with like the amount of love that the show still has, that we might
still have a chance at that art book. I certainly hope so. I
would really love it and I would love to talk about it on this show
if we got like an advanced copy or something Disney. But also this became
kind of a meme because in all of the images in the book are screenshots
from the show. One of them has the progress bar in quick Time still
visible. This is true, This is undoubtedly true. Icotic It's a bit
from Sock Opera where where Jipper is floating around outside the theater and then the
right below him there's a triangle and some moving little bar along a line.
I don't remember that part of the episode. I think that the antithesis of
that image is Dana Terras tweeting bootlegged versions of owl House on her Twitter.
Alex has also done that. Yeah, so I do have the book,
and I think it's fine. It's cute, and it's very much in the
vein of the different Mabel's Guidebook, where it's like written from these characters clashing
perspectives, and like, I don't know, I understand one hundred percent of
the complaints. It's not as good as an art book, and the QuickTime
thing is lazy, is basically the talking. Yeah. Yeah, but then
people like there was a I saw a Reddit thread where someone was like,
why haven't I heard about this book? And all the comments were like because
it's the spawn of Satan, and I'm like, it's not that bad.
It is potentially why we were denied the art book, so like an art
book would have been better. It's not that there is this there is the
gronkle Stand Bedtime Stories book instead of the art book. It's that there is
a grugle Stand and it was fully approved with the QuickTime bar and it was
prioritized over the art book, which was sounds amazing, was just said,
no, we don't want to release it. Sorry. I mean, I
do think it coincides with the change in power that reportedly happened in Disney,
and that is also the reason why a lot of shows like Ducktails and Owl
House did not get further seasons, is because they were changing the idea of
what they were wanting Disney TVA to be. Oh, so they were shifting
away from like the the lean in fandom kind of shows and more going for
like the lean back genre dome female kind of shows. Right, is that
where what they were doing. If I go to my grave as the only
person who overall feels good about Tales of the Strange and Unexpected the Grunkle sand
edition, that'll be okay. But speaking of weird corporate decisions from Disney.
So the next thing that happened was in October of twenty twenty one, Bill
Seipher appeared in the Simpsons season in thirty three episode Bart's in Jail during a
dream sequence involving Alan Cumming's Loki. Alan Cumming is the actor who played Loki
and Son of the Mask, so this is a gravity falls Simpson's Son of
the Mask crossover. Weird. So in that dream sequence, Bill invites the
viewers to by cryptosuckers, so This was like one of the weirdest things I've
ever seen in my life, I think because it basically happened where like months
prior, there was like a press release for the episode and it had like
a whole synopsis and it had listed like the guest stars and it was Alan
Cumming as Loki and Alex Hirsch as Bill Cipher. And we were like,
it can't be real, right, there's no way that Bill Cipher is going
to appear in an episode of The Simps suns. But it is Disney's The
Simpsons. Yeah it is, and it's so and on the one, you
know, Ultimately, I'm just happy for Alex right because The Simpsons is like
his favorite thing in the world. He's also, around the time that we're
recording this, moderating the official Simpsons panel a comic con. Yeah that's right.
Oh that's so wonderful. Yeah, that's awesome. I have a theory
that when he has done with his new Netflix show, Simpsons, is going
to try to hire him as showrunner. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.
That would be fascinating. I really wonder what that would look like because he
is getting gradually more and more involved in the Simpsons. He had a brief
one line cameo in an episode he is moditorting the panel. I think they're
trying to groom him to take over. Before he was doing a thing at
Netflix, it was going to be at Fox. I think he was doing
something of us. That's true, but that was before Fox was Disney.
That would be really interesting. His Netflix show is The Simpsons Reasons you learned
here first, folks. No, that would be like super interesting because his
childhood was based in the Simpsons. It would feel very full cycle because there's
a lot of gravity falls that feels like the Simpsons. I had a theory
of my own when that press release came out announcing that he was going to
guest as Bill Seipher. I figured based on the synopsis the episode was about
Grandpa getting scammed by like a con artist over the phone claiming to be Bart
who was in jail and needed money, and so that's how he got conned
out of all his money, and then putting together the puzzle pieces that there's
gonna be Loki in this episode. Alan Cumming is Loki, so maybe there's
gonna be some kind of like montage of like famous historical con artists or something,
and it's gonna be like him and Bill and other other characters like that.
And it was pretty much that, and I'm really proud of having predicted
that Jesus Christ was also there. Yeah, so the true context is that
Loki appears to The Simpsons in like a food dream or something. I don't
know. I don't like the Simpsons anymore. And it's not a hot take,
but Loki appears and he reveals that he has taken many forms across history,
including a Nazi, the spider I think is the Spider's name from the
Fables from Aesop's Fables, a Nazi, and yes, Jesus Christ and Bill
Cipher, which not only confirms that Bill Cipher is Jesus, but both of
them are low key variants. That's true. So Bill Cipher's cameo on The
Simpsons was in like the last act of the episode. So me and a
bunch of other avid gravity Falls fans, eager for any iota of gravity Falls
content, had to sit through a season thirty three episode of The Simpsons,
and I bet it got higher ratings than Simpsons had in years, And I
bet I'm sure that's why it's my theory that they're courting him to take over.
Yeah, but you know, regardless of how the show is or is
not anymore. It was certainly a wonderful moment for Alex because he made a
very sweet tweet about it after it aired. He said, from age eight,
he never missed it episode. It was also fascinating seeing Bill drawn in
the Simpsons style, because there's not really that many aspects of his design that
you would have to change. But what they do change is like subtle enough,
is like, oh yeah, he looks like he belongs in the Simpsons,
which is And speaking of art styles changing, oh god. We talked
about this on an episode of Falt Disney recently. In the film Chippendale Rescue
Rangers, Dipper has a brief cameo having been merged with Smurf. Yeah,
or with the art style of Smurf. Just listen to the Walt Disney episode.
How much we have to say about this movie. But I don't understand
if it's like a merging or if he I think it's a changing of their
chemical like it's it's changing them on a like molecular level to that art style,
the same way that the CGI surgery I think it's a much earlier draft
than I usually see in a completed film. I agree, yeah, Oh
I'm only three apples high. But I will say I was looking. I
was looking for gravity Falls in this so because I wasn't so when I saw
it, I was like, what what? What? I didn't even see
the full shot at dipper. I saw a shot where all of the cartoon
characters were walking away and I caught a downfest and orange shirt and shorts real
quick, and I saw his foot in wit. See. That's it.
That's how rabid gravity Falls fans got at this point for any slice of gravity
Falls, and as recently as a last month July twenty twenty two, gravity
Falls characters appeared in Disney Chibi Verse, which is a crossover series. It
it reminds me a little bit of House of Mouse, but it's not a
nightclub setting. It's it's like all these dialogueless little shorts that are kind of
so it doesn't play shorts for Mickey Mouse works that no one watched, so
we can just reuse exactly, but it is it does have that crossover appeal
of interacting with all these other Disney television animation characters. In this very cheevy
art style Undergrown. We start our story in a Disney laboratory, super duper
confidential spot. We're a bunch of crackpot Science has said, what the heck
we're trying this and grabbed up every story that we got. They threw them
all together in a mash up machine, produced a glowing or at the size
of underneath a microscope, man sound, a bunch of cut characters just TV
show. In fact, Listener Star sent us an email cataloging all the gravity
falls references within thus far in the vault. In the theme song, you
can see two journal threes, two Dipper hats, and Stan's fez among the
piles of fandom relics. Candice is directing some sort of production in which Wattles
is dancing with Phineas and fer I want to watch that. I would watch
it too, Agent w I was gonna say that. Then Wattles leaves and
they're like, hey, where where's Waddle? Wattles with a little secret agent
hat on is ten out of ten a pig, and then he fights Anti
Wattles. There's an entire shot of the intro dedicated to Dipper, apparently going
insane. While ranting about the mysteries of gravity falls and more specifically Bill.
Stan is not interested and is busy getting high on a Smile Dip brand lollipop
while a from Amphibia makes weird faces. When I read this, I had
to go back in the clip. I was like, No, I thought
I thought he like he made a weird face. But I thought he pulled
out like the world's most distracting object, like this swirly thing. But no,
it's a lollipop that he takes at and then makes a weird face with
dollar sign eyes. I'm like, Okay, maybe you just smiled it.
Bottles makes another appearance and a wide shot with various other characters from Disney cartoons
and Disney Channel original movies of questionable quality alike. In the first episode itself,
Stan is shown stealing star butterflies, wand Winnie the Pooh's honey pot,
and some kind of ray gun, which I think might be from Kim Possible.
It's possible, It's possible. Can we can we write one that's just
Kim Possible Impossible? Rogers? That is my favorite musical, So yes,
let's let's work on it. Dipper's hat and Jourtle three are leaning against the
bottom, which I headcanon were put there by Stan to mess with Dipper.
When Stan was stealing the wand in the honeypot and he was running away,
Ita was looking at him kind of knowing, gotcha, that's my ex husband.
My only knowledge is all of the memes that were like rare photographic evidence
of ex wife and ex husband. And while Tillie Green is explaining that fireworks
would scare the dogs off in the chi her voice, I love her voice
is my lifeblood. I love I know. I I the second I first
watched an episode. Who who the voice? It's a brilliant voice. I'm
sorry, Cricket the dog don't lack fireworks, and we've got a lot of
dogs in the Chibi verse. We got a shot of many Disney dogs.
The gravity Falls reference here is the one and only reappearance to my knowledge of
the British dog Man from Seus's nightmares in DreamScapers. I was doubled over when
I saw that. I was like, I mean, Ella, it's finally
time we are crike for a stick in the you know what, I think
I have a overcome my fear. I'm ready for a stick in the plane.
I think it's been long enough that we've coped with the with the idea.
It's amazing that they got that in there. And and there's that shot
alone had like Mila Murphy's dog from Mila Murphy's Law. Like American Dragon Jake
Long's dog was in that shot, one of the gargoyles. We have our
next piece of fan mail from Dirk, who previously emailed up. It's titled
Gravity Falls Related Opinions, Ella and Charlie and Shelby A. We got a
curator since we wrote this. I guess, yeah, it's true. We
did. It's me. It's Dip Membrane's hair site again. I mean,
my name is Dirk, and I feel like that's an easier way to refer
to me. And I probably should have just said that in the first email.
No, because Dip Membrane's hair site made I'm so happy. It's a
beautiful name. Why do you think of robbing us of that joy? I
am so glad that you're doing that over the Garden Wall podcast because I was
planning to watch it and that is really excited. The art of the show
is beautiful and I've put it off for a while, but this is the
motivation I need to finally sit down and commit to watching it. Besides,
I'm really happy that the podcast didn't just end right there, because there was
so much fan culture outside of the show, and the twins' birthday is just
a really good time to end the podcast. Happy birthday to Bri Mavl who
when it comes to this massive fan culture, I remember first getting into Gravity
Falls and the reverse Falls. Au spoke to me and undertail fan at the
time and a budding Homestuck fan, so naturally I loved AU's I hope you
bring up fandom's whole Au culture in an episode. Well, stay tuned,
Stay tuned, because while some of it seems a little silly to the modern
day fandom member, I found AU's, even the badly executed ones, extremely
intriguing. Now that's not to be confused with philbic primes. Au. He
says that all the time, being in my edgy phase at like twelve to
thirteen, I was way into those aus where everyone was evil and looked like
they came out of hot topic or rather edgy on purpose. Animatics are also
the super important part of the culture. I've seen so many Gravity Falls fan
animations and animatics that brought a whole new life to the show. Sometimes I
was doing especially fitting songs such as two Birds by Regina Spector. That song
is so perfect to the show, and I recommend that animatic. So many
talented animators and artists are in this community. Wow, Like who who?
Who is a talented animator in the like who? Mela Grammar Charlie Not to
mention the enormous amounts of fan fiction, completely ignoring the weird shippy stuff that
I had noted that I have disdained for in my last email, Gravity Falls
Fan Fix is probably some of the best I've ever read, like the absolute
cream of the crop. Do you guys have any fit recommendations for your audience?
Not even just me? I do really wonder about the podcast Spotify analytics
though we're all probably listening to Lemon Demon, weird Al, and possibly AJJ.
If AJJ isn't my favorite band of all time, then it's top three
and something tells me that it's a very Gravity Falls fan thing to listen to.
Well, we did all talk for an hour about weird Al, so
you're right about that. I don't, I don't, I can't think of
fanfic rex off the top of my head, I have one that I really
like. It's called No More Candles. It's about a child SEUs opening up
to Stan for the first time about not liking his birthday and Stan is really
sweet. But it's by Phantom Rose ninety six. You can find it on
fanfiction dot Net. But to be honest, Gravity Falls was one of my
most positive forays into fandom as a youngin and I'm glad I had the experience
of seeing something so personal to me be enjoyed by people across the world.
I live in the southern United States and it's crazy the cultural differences and similarities
I notice. For example, never would anyone be caught dead in a sweater
outside here, not in Oregon either. It's just kind of a unique character
design. It was one hundred degrees yesterday, no exaggeration, but there was
some similar too. My Nana has taken me to so many diners just like
Lazy Susan's, though all with their own unique attributes. They all have the
same vibe. Though It's weird how many people can live in different places and
still look at Gravity Falls and think, hey, I relate to this because
I live in a really unique place too. Yeah, I do feel like
some parts of the fandom weren't so positive. I truly despise the way some
of the fandom treats Mabel as a character and compares her to Dipper. Again,
don't treat children as if they're adults. I'm so glad you guys appreciate
Mabel on this podcast, because so many parts of the fandom just don't deserve
her. They will swear up and down that Mabel is selfish and maybe bully
Alex Hirsch into writing an entire comic about it when she's twelve. Of course
she is. She's twelve years of age. She has a baby, little
prefrontal cortex that's just as baby as Dippers. They're entirely equal. But they
won't criticize Dipper for being just as immature. And it feels misogynistic how twelve
year old girl can act sweet and affable and people think she's selfish. I've
seen full grown adults call this child, excuse my language, bit that is
a child. Children can't be bitch here, manipulat, ever egotistical because their
children. I sympathize with Mabel so much because I don't want to grow up
because I skipped out on my childhood because I was treated as an adult.
I have always been emotional as a child and was punished for it. And
seeing people in this fandom, even if it's just fiction, labeling this you
don't have to say. Probably labeling this neurodivergent child is bitch just for having
feelings hurts my heart because that's the exact same mindset that takes away people's childhoods.
Sorry if my rant was rather long, I just feel really strongly about
this. Well, I agree, you're completely correct. We did joke that
I was raised an adult earlier and it was kind of true. And yeah,
I love Mabel so much. Since I don't want to end on a
downer note, I want to see that your podcast gives me so much motivation.
I love waking up and seeing the little green dot next to the podcast
name every week. It gives me so much joy. I'm sad that it
will end, but all good things have to. I'm imagining a terrible alternate
universe where Gravity Falls was fifteen seasons long. Yeah. Once I do some
voice training and go on testosterone for a while, I hope to start soon.
I am absolutely making the Invader Zim watch through podcast where I can give
my hot takes spoiler did as a trans girl. I can't explain it,
it's just true. Whoa, whoa, whoa. So I'm gonna be the
first to say I'm guessing on that podcast if you'll have me. Yes,
that was my favorite show as a child. But I wish you luck in
your endeavors, podcasts related or otherwise, and I'll always remember you as one
of my favorite parts of my gravity false fandom experience. Aw ooh, that's
tripping my brain up a little. A podcast about the gravity falls fandom experience
is part of the its a set of all sets contained itself. Thank you
so much for making Mystery Shack look back and sharing your insights. And sorry
for my pendanticism. No, do you know who you're speaking to. If
there's one thing you should have learned on this podcast, it's never apologized for
being pedantic. Hey, how long was our segment about Dipper's fucking spaghetti?
Exactly? Signed Dirk. Thank you Dirk. He's always a joy to hear
from you. Both times. I would love a third time. We have
fan mail today from listener, A who writes do I need to have a
critive and cool subject line halfause to tempt up reference like the bottomless pritt up.
No. I think that was a good attempt. That was a solidly
asked attempt, and I love it. Hey, I love your podcast.
Originally I wasn't going to write an email, but after getting halfway through your
podcast, I realized that you three are the funniest people known to man.
We don't know any men. Actually no, no, well maybe they know
us, but we don't know that they know of us. They know of
us Gods of comedy, I swear no, But actually, did you know
that comedy is made not by gods but by human people like you? I
learned what I know about improvising off the cuff from a text book and a
class like you learn all other things. Yeah, that's called the improv hand
Book. If anyone wants to improvise like me. The amount of times I'm
listening to your podcast in public and have to force my laughter down is far
too often. Will you know what I say? Just just let it out,
Just let it and if anyone's like what the hell are you laughing at,
You're like, oh, it's called mystery shack. Look Back. It's
a nostalgic time capsul and no spoiler book club or the original gravity False fanly
if the if the judge asks you, the juror, to take out your
AirPod and explain what you were listening to and smirking at during this murder trial,
you just stand up and say, well, your honor, mystery shack
look Back is a nostalgic time capsule and no spoiler book club of the original
Gravity Falls say, can the scenographer read that back to me? And then
they do because they're asked to, and then they go k hell yeah,
and then they don't get a hell yeah, and then they sit down.
Yeah, that's probably what would happen. It's a realistic take. And I
know your jokes are most likely scripted. I mean them, but you guys
are just that good. You're good too, Shelby. You're part of the
planned sometimes but rarely scripted. But I love the natural chemistry and flow you
have. Thank you. I've listened to five Gravity Falls podcasts so far while
re going through my Gravity Falls phase, and yours is the most entertaining of
them in my opinion. Oh chucked. Also, you are gender queer or
genderant as I say, and I have been heavily questioning my gender and sexuality,
so having people like me with a podcast comforts me. Welcome to the
family question everything. Welcome to that pit. Yeah, this podcast since day
one has been not cracking eggs more how to basking them. Well, there's
a reason that our tags on lips in our gravity falls and transgender and just
those two. Oh that's why. Well, there's multiple reasons. That's one
of them. Oh, some of them are secrets. I won't get into
the other ones. That's what you find the secret. Second reason we've listed
gravity Falls as a tag. The answer will shock you. Yes. Anyways,
I don't expect any of you to respond or even read this. You
were in the final episode, but thank you for your podcast. This was
a nice trip down memory lane, and I hope you too do a podcast
similar to this with other shows in the future or not. I'll still appreciate
you either way. Well, I guess we can announce that we have a
podcast. I don't know exactly when it'll be coming out, but it's called
We're Off on a Secret Missions called We're Off on a Secret Mission, a
Gallivant rewatch podcast or a Gallop. I think it's a gall or something like
that. I don't know, we'll figure it out. That's the beauty of
this one is that it's going to be way looser than this podcast. Yeah,
it's going to be a podcast that Ella and I host with David Gansel,
best known for his appearances on Escape from Pault Disney, about the musical
comedy series Gallivant. That should be coming soon because I don't have to exist
in the mainstream anymore, I pray, as well as at some point I'm
gonna put together a Mystery Shack soundtrack, a compilation of a bunch of the
songs over the course of the podcast, putting that up on Van Camp.
I'm not entirely sure yet what that's gonna look like right now, but that
is going to exist, so that's exciting too. And we all have some
a continuation of the email we got earlier from Starr who sent us the TV
Verse information. I discovered this podcast my very first podcast, mind you,
literally the day after the most recent episode, and have been re listening to
my favorites and going back to ones I skipped, namely the video game ones
and the unaired pilot one I fell in love with it immediately, and when
I finished the regular episodes, I just started hunting from where Gravity Falls rewatch
podcasts currently, the other one I love is Into the Falls. Good choice,
Good choice. Having only discovered the show a few years ago, I
think I now almost understand what I missed out on in the fandom way back
when. Unfortunately I was five at the time it premiered, had no cable,
and was probably too stupid to understand the show at that point. Anyway,
not too stupid, just too young. Thanks so much for giving me
this window into the past. It has only further fueled my intense hyperfixation on
Gravity Falls that I've had since about three days after Amphibia ended. I definitely
didn't mourn it for that long. Goal I can't wait to be a part
of this community for the rest of my life and see where it takes me,
because I know in the back of my mind I'll be putting that into
my own time capsule. Your podcast, with all its hundreds of fun facts
behind the scenes intel has given me a far greater appreciation for the show,
which was already through the roof. It's reminded me of what I forgot like
a week after I finished my first fewing. It properly introduced me to Homestar
Runner, a name that I had only heard once previously in a Delta in
Easter ex video. Yeah, I recommend Homestar Runner a lot in this podcast.
It has occurred to me with directions with listeners, I have not made
it clear that Homestar Runner is a YouTube series with no continuity and none of
the videos are like longer than four minutes. I think I because of the
sentimental attachment I have to it hyped it up as this big, epic gravity
Falls sized thing. It's a it's a YouTube series. Go to the channel
Homestar Huner dot com on YouTube dot spelled out and just click random videos.
They're all good. None of them really rely that much on having seen the
others and the humors like gravity fallsy It's it's not a big time saying homestar
one o dot net it's dot com the boys Crazy episode. Despite covering what
was formerly my least favorite episode of the show, I now have no least
favorite because they're also good. That's the right answer. Made a road trip
one thousand percent less boring with the entire life story of Lanston bass, which
I shared with my family. As you explained, it will get that barrel.
Yes, it's happening. It's happening. No leads yet. If anyone
knows anything about the Lance Bass barrel, mystery shack, look back at gmail
dot com. But I was quite frankly going bonkers for every second of the
Cipher Hunt episode because Alex freaking Harsh. I've never seen Over the Garden Wall,
but if the episodes of it you cover are a no spoiler book club,
maybe I'll listen as I go. Yes, and that'll be coming every
Monday in October. I do think that there's only one person that can truly
find the Lance Bass barrel, and it is Bradley. You know what,
Bradley. Bradley just has it sitting he's using it as an end tape.
I was gonna say, what this Badley already found it TLDR. This podcast
is really cool and Gravity Falls is my favorite show, and this podcast enhanced
my love for it about thirty times over at least. I love this show
so much my heart gets all mushy and bittersweet every time the music from those
final credits plays in my head. Thank you for letting me relive it while
I watch it over and over and over again. I am at E.
NF Silver on Twitter and cartoon hostage dot tumbler dot com, and we'll be
posting gra Falls art there awesome with my heart in the same place yours is
Star. Thank you Star for that email you know. At the end of
Lost Legends, Schmebuloc talks about how it may be time for us to stop
observing other people's stories and start living our own stories and do we have any
any like final thoughts, final words before we wrap. I was homeless when
I started doing gravity Falls content, and this fandom brought me not only my
two best friends, but most of the money I have made in my life.
I can now say, through the success I have found through the Tumblr
blog and the hanag especial and what probably happens in and real time FANDOP and
Lost Legends and Universe Falls, that I am an industry professional. A lot
of people have heard of me, and that would not be the case if
not for the show. I at twenty nine years old and I am about
to literally retire. I am moving to a much cheaper area and where I
can live off of my ad revenue and do beautiful patreons. And I don't
know how do I say thanks for saving my life? Well, I think
you do it by making a fifty two episode podcast. Yeah, And in
all honesty, a lot of the gravity Falls content I did was because that
was what got clicks and I needed to make money or I would die.
This podcast was not that. This podcast was something I was really passionate about
fine tuning and presenting. And I love how much you have let Ella and
I be ourselves every other place we have produced content. If we do something
that's a little unexpected, people act like we're pranking and pretend they're mad at
us and they hate us. And I have ADHD in a popular symptom is
rejection this for you? So I never found that funny. So like being
able to trap a guest in a wall or interview a big mouth billy bass,
I don't know. It's this podcast has offered me a freedom that I
have not had before as a creator, and all of the listeners were on
board for every single step of that, which is not something I've experienced with
my art and my audience together before. This was a once in a lifetime
experience twice if you count the over the Garden Wall one. But it's not
going to be a year of work, yes now, and thank you to
Ella and Shelby for joining me on this journey. This was a lot of
work and given the you know, one of you just graduated college and one
of you has worked full time this entire time, that is a big ask.
And we were all equally passionate about this project, and that is not
something you encounter offen. In every group project I've ever been in, there
are the people who are proactive to make like logos or theme songs and stuff,
and the people who just wait till they're invited to something. And this
was never that, And I wouldn't have gone on this journey with any other
people in the entire world. Love You. Gravity Falls has been one of
the most important shows in my life. It's given me the opportunity to meet
people around the world. It's introduced me to my best friends. It's gotten
me through times where I felt like I was hopeless, And every time that
I revisit Gravity Falls, I find that love and that joy again in a
way that I thought I had lost it. I like with any hyper fixation,
you feel all of these emotions when you're feeling it the first time,
and then you can go back and you're like, uh, that was so
cringe. I've never felt that way with Gravit falls every time that I learn
more information about it, or learn more little trivia, find a little background
gag that I've missed in the past. It enriches my experience in a way
that I never expected a show to keep on giving to me over and over
again. And being able to experience that with you, whether I was on
the pod or was just helping you with the research, It's given me joy
and a time that has been pretty hopeless. This has been a hard year
for me, and so being able to listen to you guys when I'm not
involved, it makes me feel like I'm not so alone in the world,
and I appreciate being able to go on this journey with you guys. Thank
you for letting me join the RV on this stand trip. Yeah, we
picked you up on one of our last stops. We're like, oh,
doesn't show me live there that stuff? Oh yeah, yeah, Shewby's got
time now. Yeah. So thank you for letting me join you for the
final leg of this road trip. This whole podcast was the barest bones of
it was thing I Charlie and I had been talking about, you know,
years and years ago, because since twenty seventeen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,
something like that. It's one of those ideas where the first thing you
come up with is the name just because it sticks or I'm like, oh,
yeah, it could be called mystery Shack look bag right and then and
you know, it didn't work out for reasons that we've gone into before that
that first attempt, but it felt like, you know, the the year
before, the tenth anniversary of the show and all these other elements just made
it feel like it was the perfect time to do it. And it was.
It was like, we're just reaching that point where gravity falls is becoming
nostalgic, which makes me feel all kinds of weird and old and and and
this kind of has made that into not not that I don't view it as
a bad thing, but this has certainly dashed any possibility that I could ever
view it as a bad thing because it has allowed us to to create this,
which you know, one of my biggest goals that I could ever ask
for is or like someone to have a question about gravity Falls or like want
to know more about it and to come to our podcast to do it,
And that just really excites me because it was like all I ever thought about,
like throughout high school and so to be like to be known socially as
like, oh, yeah, that person likes gravity Falls and to now be
that on a larger scale, but also to like have our personalities shining through
as well is super super important to me. And like, like Jacho what
Charlie said, like thank you to all the listeners for like giving us the
space to do that, because because we're trans and we haven't been allowed to
be ourselves that long historically. Yes, Gravity Falls has influenced me in ways
that I am like still parsing. I think, like in my brain,
like I definitely wouldn't have gotten as into animation as I did. I mean,
it was already what I wanted to do, but it was one of
those things that really fast tracked the passion for it and the passion for this
kind of storytelling and just the idea of it being like appointment television that was
like a community event that I had never really like had that before. It
was a show that stood out to me as a tween because it took me
seriously and it felt like it was talking to me in a way that no
other television show has. And this is gonna sound cringy, but like no
other human was at the time, because like I was like repressed trans kid,
you know how it is the first time I really, like semi publicly
presented in like an extremely feminine way was being mable for Halloween. That was
the first time I publicly wore like non pants. The scope of it really
can't be overstated of like how much it means to me and how much it
means to me that I can be like part of this panel of curators of
people who have put all of this together just because we love it so much
and just because we feel it deserves to be preserved and have like a space
to be talked about and to be able to do that and be myself in
a very outgoing way at the same time, and just like talk to because
talking is something I I was the quiet kid. So to have something where
it's an audio medium and the only way you get me is by me talking
is super special to me because that's not something I could have even thought about
doing as like a teenager. So when I made the video version of Lost
Legends, I had done it as separate stories first, because I knew it
was going to take a year to make, and that would be a way
to keep my channel alive in that time. Yeah, while I was editing
the smebuloc part, while I was ready to put together the final version of
the video, I was in the car with Ella and she confessed to me
that she had been researching what estrogen does. Oh yeah, was that on
that trip to go record? No, that was a week earlier, because
I said, do you want me to try to get you as a girl
in a video at some point? And you said that'd be really nice.
A single week later, I determined that the project was too vast to not
have an end credits sequence, and Ella suggested a little song she had written
on the ukulele called my Heart's in Gravity Falls. Indeed, and by paying
one hundred percent of the bills that month, I had gotten my two musician
roommates to help us make a studio version of the fully produced sounds super Crisp.
And then we drove to the pine barrens to one of the spots rumored
to be the home of the Jersey Devil. We ran out in like the
five minutes that it wasn't raining. Alla played both Dipper and Mabel in that
ending credits sequence, which was a live action footage of her walking through the
woods together like twins or something. And the reason I had originally asked about
a different Gravity Falls song Ella had written in she pushed this one because she
felt it matched what Smebuloc was saying at the end that right, I had
written one that was more about like this blank his relationships and how they reflect
on it. And I had asked if we could use that one, and
you suggest, yeah, my Heart's and Gravity Falls, and through you pitching
that to me and us eventually making a podcast with a similar vibe, I
guess we have sure gotten your song out there. One one day I looked
up my Heart's on Gravity Falls on YouTube and found like five lyric videos.
Yeah, wow, I guess so, And it means a lot to me.
Oh, I just noticed this is perfect. When you read something on
Google Docs without being logged in, it assigns you as anonymous and then an
animal so icon we have received on Google Docs. The last thing we see
on the last episode, Shelby is the anonymous a show load. That's amazing.
If this is your first episode of Mister Shack look back, this is
actually the end. But there are fifty one other How did we do that?
In a year? If you wanted to, you could listen to one
every week. That's true, fifty two weeks and men some right, because
that's not even counting all the bonus episodes. Also on that website are other
shows like Escape from Walt Disney, which we were on, the newest episode
of How Did This Not Get Made? Which Ella and I were on,
a recent episode of, Come on Vuku Pods which Ella was on recent episodes
of, and we've both been on in the past, and the new show
pod Made You Special, which I would like to be on and I did
the cover art for. Also on that website is a link to our show's
social media's discord server and our Patreon. Forty dollars will get you a voice
or art commission from one of us, but also to keep this podcast accessible
for the rest of time, we will need to pay for the libs and
hosting fees, so uh, every dollar helps preserve this. The exclusive Discard
channel will still exist, will presumably still do things in there so you can
get We might you can hang out with us in October and watch over the
garden wall. Yeah we might. We might just change up some of the
tears. Yeah, we'll figure this out. Yeah yeah, keep the lights
running in our museum exactly. Don't let the flame die out because fun fact,
it's actually keeping me alive as well. Thank you to Alex Hirsh for
voicing Stan in the Hall of Conspiracies intro and voicing our Patreon shout outs along
with Jason Ritter. Oh yeah, that was awesome. If you want some
sweet to merge, you can visit our merch store at crowdmade dot com,
slash collection, slash mystery Shack, look back email us at mystery Shack,
lookback at gmail dot com. I will still be looking at the emails even
if we might not might even respond. Well, we'll be able to respond
to them vocally, So we're gonna have to do this ancient technology called replying.
Yeah, we could record custom responses and just send them his attachment.
That would be that's funny, very there's it now a Twitter option for voice.
We could also eventually if we get enough to do a listener mail episode.
That's true. The Hall of Conspiracies theme is Lentil Dentist, a remix
of our first episode by sim and the dimbulb B two point zero. There
will be a link in the description. Thank you to Tsunami, Holmes and
Tumbler for the Stanford handwriting thought in our thumbnails. The reason that Adam collects
the spit, if we're being honest, is because of the curse that the
Warlock put on him. But we love him anyway. Yeah, it helps
us out. And the biggest of thank yous to every single docent that we
have had on this podcast. By the way, you are all docents now.
Every guest that we've had on this show is now a docent. We
just decided don't worry about it. So thank you to Alexi Queison, Mary
McKeon, Miles, Tony Goldmark, Kyle Carroza, Abby Kirby, Michael William
Hunter, David Spencer, Robrinzetti, Adam k New, Jason Ritter, Ray,
Irish Ian, Michael Rianda, Juno Series, Miss Jukebox Eight, Sarah
Ghostan, Joe David Gansel, Molly Lewis, Liz Nordenholt, Jenny Geist,
Easy Snake, Oven, Strong Bad, and Alex Hirsch. Thank you all
for being a part of this incredible journey, and thank you to Arbor Lazy
aka Inner Element for editing that fantastic mashup that you heard at the top of
all of our theme song variations of My Hearts and Gravity Falls. And thank
you to the wonderful musicians who made those theme songs. Of course, Prian
Bryan made the instrumental of the main recording, and Kyle Wright made the boy
band style version sim and the dimble V two hyphen Zero made the chiptune version.
Our friend irish Ian helped us out on the Pirate one, and Kyle
Carroza gave us that wonderful polka instrumental. Thank you to Bob Mackie, Henry
Gilbert, Michael William Hunter, David Spencer, Alexi Quizon and Heritage Post for
inspiring the idea of a fandom time capsule. And thank you too, Strong
Bad and Molly Lewis. I got to meet two people who have been very
important to my upbringing as an entertainer and person because of this amazing podcast.
They say don't meet your heroes, well, whoever they is must be full
of crap and should promptly be kicked in the uterus because you too exceeded every
expectation. But there have been multiple moments where I have played a little more
of the song to our listeners and they have stated I did not realize there
was a longer version, And I get that because the credits at the end
of podcasts are when you kind of zone out because they stopped talking about the
subject of the podcast. So My Heart's in Gravity Falls was always intended to
have this like nostalgic vibe of like looking back, and it was written in
twenty Yeah, it must have been twenty eighteen, but it always felt like
the kind of thing that would be like ten fifteen, twenty years out look
back at Gravity Falls, which is exactly what we're doing. I guess the
best possible pardon gift. Yeah, I think it's it's fair to play the
full song. If you've ever seen a Northwest map, you'll identify this tourist
trap. From the outside, it looks like crap, but there's magic in
it. And now it's been a long long time since the summer amongst the
pines. Take a trip with me and you'll find we'll be mystery and take
me back to the place I know with the mystery Jack and the forest know
I'm already back, So that's gone on again. We started my Heart's singer
gravity if you did got at Oregon down with a wind where all we sang
around and while you let check the Lawson found for my body barcas my heart's
singing, revity falls. Skeleton's been out of play. You don't see that
every day. They'll be even more if you stay just a live longer.
Probably a lot to take. And I know you might think it's vain,
but I'm telling you win the lake, there's a gobo longer. Take me
back to the place sign know with the mister Jack and the haunting goes.
I'm already back, so let's go. Don't get me started. My heart's
in gravity tip you dare try that Oregon down with a wit and rare.
All we sang around and while you're there, Jack the lost and found for
my body part because my heart's in gravity bar no one ever could in chandas
in the way that gronkle Sand does. People lucky and we're able we can
find Itper and Mabel take me back to the place signed no with the mister
Shack and the forest gnomes. I'm already back, so come on, let's
go. Don't get me started hearts and gravity falls. Oh woh wait,
Charlie, did you get new batteries in the big mouth billy bass? Uh?
No, I didn't. It was me the dog with the blog.
I heard your angelic singing, Charlie, and I realized I could use my
blog to help. The post went hashtag viral, and well I managed to
reach the big guy. Oh my gosh, he's Adam New Spintleman, a
joyous feast of Saint Spinelstein and marry halfway to spittle Miss. I've brought delicious
batteries for all the good little bass and kills. Ye wait, delicious.
Adam New hates the taste of battery acid, so that must be thing.
