00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:05.280
A poltergeist, possibly caught on camera, a little girl who

2
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:08.199
seems to be transparent standing next to a clock in

3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.919
a photograph, a beluga whale with a mysterious and deadly past,

4
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.719
and the most unlucky day of the year. Get contact,

5
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:25.559
turn off the lights. It's monthly spooky.

6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:33.439
Hello, my spookies. It is not only that time of

7
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.719
the month, but it is the final the final day

8
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.159
of September, which means tomorrow spooky season goes into full

9
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.799
tilt and boogie as October starts up. Yeah, I guess

10
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.119
I am, of course, your host Rique Kuto here with

11
00:00:58.200 --> 00:00:59.600
my good buddy Michelle.

12
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:00.679
Michelle, Well, how are you?

13
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.039
I don't know. I guess I'm okay.

14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:11.159
However, I mean, I guess that I'll allow that we're

15
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.200
here to bring you some some interesting topics and some

16
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:20.200
fun news stories that all look at the spookier side

17
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.959
of life. And I just realized that since this show

18
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.040
is today and then tomorrow's the beginning of beginning of October,

19
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.840
that means I'm going to publish thirty two shows in

20
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:31.879
a row, not thirty one.

21
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.159
Oh awesome, I guess.

22
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:34.799
I guess so.

23
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:36.519
Well.

24
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.920
Last October I said thirty one shows in thirty one days,

25
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:40.560
and I ended up putting out two shows in one

26
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.359
day because I overshot. In fact, so the for the

27
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.680
I have a calendar right here of all of the

28
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:54.840
shows that are happening. Wow, well it looks. It looks

29
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.239
really crazy because anything that's scheduled by a day a

30
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.040
standard day is written down, and then everything else is

31
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.680
posted so I can move it around, you know, as

32
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.040
as necessary. Why there's so much you thought it was

33
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.080
an advent calendar. I was just like paper, Yeah, it's

34
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:16.639
a drawing of a crab with a knife, hooray. But no, no,

35
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.800
so yeah, because I was actually going through this hardcore

36
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.759
yesterday and after putting everything into the calendar, I realized

37
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:31.719
I was one short. Oh well basically, so I spent

38
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.120
spent half the day finding another story for us to narrate.

39
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.400
So found a really good creepypasta and the author was

40
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.240
super pumped for me to narrate it. So that'll be

41
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.960
coming out on Saturday, October fifth. It's called Never Go

42
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.000
into the Old Corn Maze on Halloween.

43
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:47.879
Cool.

44
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.479
Yeah, it was a really fun one. So anyway, Yeah,

45
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:57.400
so my life has been pretty much consumed by October,

46
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.719
which not only are we doing already one shows in

47
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.719
thirty one days, but we're also doing the Cinema Wasteland

48
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.840
Movie Convention the first weekend of October, so I got

49
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.840
to head out to Cleveland then movies, hang out with friends,

50
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.879
begrudgingly be frustrated because there's no place to smoke cigars

51
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.240
at that hotel except for just standing out the front door.

52
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.439
There's not like a courtyard. There's They got rid of

53
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.319
the bench. There used to be a bench by the

54
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:24.840
side door. They got rid of.

55
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.120
It because they don't want you to smoke there.

56
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.479
Yeah, yeah, well, but that just means I'm gonna stand

57
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.319
directly in front of the door and do it instead.

58
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:33.719
At least the bench was out.

59
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:37.000
Of the way to the door. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

60
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.319
Well, they gotta call it cops, then, okay.

61
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.280
I'm gonna tell them.

62
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.520
Let tell them. Actually, I've done that convention so many times.

63
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:51.520
I actually know several Strongsville Police police officers by name.

64
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.039
I've been doing that show so long, well, in the

65
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.639
early days of Cinema Wasteland Convention. It's in Strongsville, Ohio,

66
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.319
which is just outside of Cleveland. In the earth earliest

67
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.360
days of that show, the partying was so wild that

68
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.680
they that after the first three years, they just assigned

69
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.680
a cop Wow in the evenings. He would just and

70
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.439
he would just hang out. He would just stand around

71
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.000
and just make sure people kind of stayed in line.

72
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.079
And uh, yeah, now everybody's aging up and no longer

73
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:22.600
wanting to be up all night drinking and yelling stuff,

74
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.120
I guess. But it just if they gave us one

75
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.279
little place to sit, would it kill them?

76
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.680
Apparently because they took it away and it's you know,

77
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.040
it takes like time and effort to remove something, So.

78
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:37.680
Yeah, that was the other thing is it was like

79
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:42.079
a bolted down, yeah place to sit and then they

80
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.079
just remove it.

81
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.199
Yeah, because they were retired of this shit.

82
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.560
But we didn't do anything. Sounds like I want to know,

83
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.600
I want to know who's sitting there the rest of

84
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.360
the year. Because our show's only there for three days

85
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.959
twice a year, so six days a year, so three

86
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.079
one hundred and fifty nine days out of the year.

87
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.120
What's going on at that bench?

88
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.839
Obviously it doesn't matter, but it is really impressive that

89
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.720
you guys were the reason that they got rid of

90
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:11.240
the bench.

91
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.680
That's the worst part is it's not even an entrance

92
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.160
to the main hotel. It's a it's a loading entrance

93
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.600
to the ballroom. So it's like we really were out

94
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.680
of the way of guests. We were nowhere near where

95
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.560
people come in to basically airline pilots because it's a

96
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.839
it's a it's a airport overflow hotel. So every time

97
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.000
we do the convention, it's just all these people in

98
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.759
like black t shirts and sunglasses and then pilots with

99
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.959
their like luggage. That's all there is there. It's it's

100
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.560
very amusing, not as amusing as when I did the

101
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.519
second Joe Bob Briggs Drive in Jamboree in Memphis and

102
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.720
it turned out there was a child beauty pageant being

103
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.360
held on the other half of the convention building. That

104
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.879
was an experience. Yeah, I bet there were a lot

105
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.879
of little kids in dresses and makeup crying everywhere.

106
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.519
I would be crying too, I.

107
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.199
Honestly, a lot of the horror fans were crying. Yeah,

108
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.279
I remember correctly. Yeah, that was the best part of

109
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.839
People were like, yep, here's the really scary part of

110
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:25.720
the contention, WHICHI old beauty pageant. So anyway, so I've

111
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.879
been working double time honestly, it's more like quadrufule time

112
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.079
on getting weekly spooky ready for October, because my big

113
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.560
goal with this, with the thirty one shows in thirty

114
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.480
one days, is to give the audience the most fun experience.

115
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.519
I can give them lots of content to help them

116
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.879
get in the spooky season spirit, and also to reward

117
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.600
new listeners with tons and tons of content as well.

118
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.199
But I also don't want to be working and recording

119
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.800
six hours every single day and have no spooky season

120
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.680
my own. So I've been trying to record ahead enough

121
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.079
that I can also go to a haunted house on

122
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:11.800
the weekend, or see a movie, or sit quietly and breathe.

123
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.959
All of them are good options that I don't often

124
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:21.920
get around to. So so and I have like a

125
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.879
bunch of haunted houses picked out if I can just

126
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.319
have the time to go, because last year I only

127
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:35.560
went to one and it was really fun. Yay, Oh,

128
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.759
I'm glad, I'm glad, you're excited. So but on top

129
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.279
of that, Rachel's been moving in and it's just a

130
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:47.240
lot of work, a lot of decluttering and organizing and

131
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:52.000
physical moving, and it's just I am just beat, and

132
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.959
I have to learn how to live with a cat.

133
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.319
I'm learning how to live with a cat. Yes, yes,

134
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.319
I mean you live with a cat? Emsprice. You don't

135
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:03.439
have more to say than just yes.

136
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.519
Oh, I mean I don't know. It's totally fine and

137
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.040
I love her and she's perfect basically, So I don't

138
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:13.399
know what to tell you.

139
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.120
Is she perfect or is she's perfect?

140
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.720
The first one. I don't do those things.

141
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.879
Oh fine, Yeah, you're so superior, you.

142
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:30.480
Know, oh, like to do language stuff that I can't

143
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:31.639
remember what it's called.

144
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.159
Fine, fine, no, no, no, that's fine. Yeah, I don't

145
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.039
know what it's called either.

146
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:40.879
Yeah.

147
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.919
So also, while we're recording this, Ohio is just getting

148
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.720
beaten up with hurricane weather.

149
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.039
Yeah.

150
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.960
Yeah, so hopefully that we don't get the high winds

151
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.000
they were threatening us with.

152
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.200
Yeah, I hope you were nice enough that they decided

153
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:58.120
not to give it to you.

154
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.600
Well, people other places like they're like, oh man, you

155
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.159
know you guys get tornadoes, and I'm like, yeah, we do.

156
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.519
Sometimes the like oh man, that's of your weather scary,

157
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.360
and I'm like yeah, and then I like a tornado,

158
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.960
you know, watch happens and I'm like yeah, whatever, But

159
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.480
when I hear high wind warning that's when I'm like,

160
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.840
oh my god, we had a windstorm once that took

161
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.039
the power out for a week and a half. Yeah,

162
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.480
Like I'm afraid of those more than I am major storms.

163
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.840
Yeah, I can. I can understand that. I guess I

164
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:31.240
don't know.

165
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:38.360
Sure, Well, thank you, thank you for not gaslighting me entirely.

166
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:44.799
I do appreciate that. Oh you're so kind, so kind

167
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:51.200
and generous. That's Cell for you. Well, Cell, I was struggling,

168
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.840
although I guess that's not new. I struggle every month

169
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:58.600
with what the topic would be for our show, and

170
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.039
I decided I wanted to do a little dive into

171
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.120
the history, the concepts, et cetera, et cetera of Friday

172
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:10.440
the thirteenth, the date, the idea that Friday the thirteenth

173
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.559
is an unlucky day, because in September we have we

174
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.440
had a Friday the thirteenth. Yeah, and we're having one

175
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:17.360
in December as well.

176
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.240
That's nice, I mean it.

177
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.879
Is if you like watching those movies, which I do. Yeah,

178
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.039
I try to always watch at least at least one

179
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.440
on Friday the thirteenth, if not multiples. I've gotten to

180
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.120
a point now where I've seen all of them, so

181
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.039
many times that this last time, I just opened up

182
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.559
chat GPT and told it to pick a random number

183
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.960
between one and twelve, and it did, and then I

184
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.039
just watched that one. I watched that number.

185
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.159
You let the AI pick for you.

186
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.159
And it picked my least favorite one.

187
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:49.559
Yeah, that's what they do.

188
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.320
Yep, yep, yep. So hey, you know what all's fair

189
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:57.840
in love and AI? I suppose, I guess. So, do

190
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.639
you have any spooky plans that you're getting ready to

191
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.080
initiate or if you decorated yet?

192
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.600
No, I don't decorate until October. So I will decorate,

193
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:10.960
and I mean today if this is the day before October,

194
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.799
I will decorate tomorrow, but not really because I'm too

195
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.440
busy with inspection. So as soon as they're done, I

196
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:23.559
will decorate and then I just to die. I don't

197
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:25.080
know whatever people do.

198
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.440
Well over here, we would usually decorate by the middle

199
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.200
of September, but because of the move and everything, we

200
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.799
haven't really been able to. Yeah, so we're going to try.

201
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.399
The problem now is that the garage is completely brim

202
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.600
full of stuff that we have to move to the

203
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:49.120
workshop once it's done. Yeah, So hopefully on Monday we're

204
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.519
gonna just clear out just enough space to get all

205
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.200
the Halloween decorations out, and then we'll decorate the place.

206
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.639
I think that'll cheer me up with how exhausted I've

207
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.200
been with everything. It would be just if I could

208
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.360
feel like, because I've had a long history of October

209
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.399
being so stressful, I don't really feel like I'm getting

210
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:12.000
a chance to enjoy it very much. Yeah, so I'm

211
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.759
trying to fight that off. Because pre COVID, I used

212
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.840
to go on trips every weekend in October. I would

213
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.519
like never be home in October, and that was fun,

214
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.759
but it also was very stressful. Now I don't go

215
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.799
on as many trips, but I have this podcast, which

216
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.519
it's crazy to think there was a time before I

217
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.080
had it. But at the same time, it's crazy to

218
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.840
think that it's almost been six years since I started

219
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:42.919
this podcast. But yeah, it's a it's quite an experience. Anyway.

220
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.399
I love Halloween very very much, so you better believe

221
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.279
I'm going to decorate. I even got a new Frankenstein doormat.

222
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:57.240
I got a I got a laughing pumpkinhead like Pumpkin Jack,

223
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.360
a lantern that you can hang on your door that

224
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:01.679
not only does it laugh, but it like it takes

225
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.559
forever to finish, which I find hilarious that it goes

226
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.279
like ah in the music plays and it just keeps

227
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.960
going and keeps going for like twenty eight seconds, and

228
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.200
I find that amazing good.

229
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.039
I don't like those.

230
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:19.000
I there's nothing I like more good. I was at

231
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:23.320
Spirit Halloween a couple of weeks back, and there's one

232
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.200
that there's one that's like a pumpkin. Oh, it's a

233
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.120
doorbell that you ring, and it's right under the mouth

234
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.879
of this jack lantern that talks, and when you press it,

235
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.360
it says, you know, they say you are what you eat.

236
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:39.440
So I guess I'm nothing but fingertips. And I was like,

237
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:44.639
that's pretty that's pretty good. Yeah. Anyway, Well, Shelle, we're

238
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.799
gonna take a quick break and we'll be back with

239
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:59.559
some spooky news to talk about. And we are back,

240
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:07.240
and cell, I really really really think it's time for

241
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:14.919
the spooky news. For the spooky news. Okay, I was

242
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.600
pausing so that the thing could play.

243
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:18.799
Oh, sorry, I didn't know.

244
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.960
Oh, I was just trying to make it easier. Geez, well, Shell,

245
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.600
you like to hike, right, You're a hiking person.

246
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:28.120
Yes, I like to hike.

247
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:30.759
Yeah, how often do you think you hike? A couple

248
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:31.600
times a months?

249
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.360
That would be nice, But I do not. There's not

250
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.559
that much hiking around here, really not good hiking that

251
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.240
I would want to do. It's like walking.

252
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:42.440
What's what's good hiking?

253
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.799
Like? You go like, I want at least a moderate hike,

254
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.840
you know, like moderate to difficult. I don't want to

255
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:54.360
just like walk in a forest, you know. So Okay,

256
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.600
Well there has to be a waterfall. Oh, there has

257
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.320
to be, yes, otherwise it's not good.

258
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.960
Tell how many times have I told you don't go

259
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:05.240
chasing waterfalls?

260
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:08.080
I don't want to stick to the rivers and the

261
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:09.519
lakes that I'm used to.

262
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.279
I know you want to have it your way or

263
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.159
nothing at all, but I think you're moving too fast.

264
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:19.960
I think it's fine.

265
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:30.799
Well, well, our first our first story, of course, by law,

266
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.320
has to come from Mirror dot co dot uk. Yeah,

267
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.759
it's a headline reads hikers make spine chilling discovery after

268
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:48.240
looking back at selfie from mountain trail. Uh oh so.

269
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.240
A seemingly innocent selfie taken by some hikers on a

270
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.759
mountain has caused a frenzy of online a frenzy online

271
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.279
after people noticed an additional face that some believe to

272
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.799
be a spirit or ghost.

273
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:02.480
Or another person.

274
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.039
Well, that would actually creep me out too, if you

275
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.279
think you're in the middle of nowhere by yourself.

276
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.759
And you're taking a selfie and you don't notice that

277
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.480
there's another person in the selfie with you.

278
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.759
So speaking of that, I just got you know, my

279
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.679
birthday just happened on the tenth I got for myself.

280
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.840
As a birthday present, I got the new iPhone because

281
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.159
my iPhone was three years old and I love tech,

282
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.279
so I was like, it's time I want a new phone.

283
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:28.399
So I got the newest one and it has so

284
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:32.240
many features like facial detection and this and this and

285
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:34.960
this for photos and everything, and I am so ready

286
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.679
for it to like for me to snap a picture

287
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.559
and then it's say, like three faces detected, would you

288
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:43.360
like to edit? And I'll be like, uh, I was alone,

289
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.519
Like I'm so ready for that. Yeah, kind of like

290
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.600
how I'll be sitting completely alone and my Amazon Echo

291
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.840
will just go sorry, I can't do that, and I'm

292
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.559
like what the or no, it's usually oh sorry, I

293
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.720
don't understand, and I'm just like I was sitting in

294
00:16:58.799 --> 00:16:59.720
total silence.

295
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.799
I like that. Sorry, I can't do that, because that

296
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.160
means that there was an instruction given and it was

297
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.119
probably like to murder someone like probably me.

298
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:16.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that sounds right. That dude

299
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.720
over there? Can you kill that dude over there? A

300
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.960
group of hikers made a spine chilling Discovery after looking

301
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.240
I'm guessing that that headline was written by AI by

302
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.119
the fact that it used the term spine chilling discovery

303
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.400
after looking back at a selfie they took on a

304
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.039
mountain trail. The image has been shared on the Ghosts

305
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.440
of London group on Facebook, where social media users submit

306
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:45.160
photos they believe might contain something supernatural. Ooh, but it's

307
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.359
not an English picture, the user who submitted this photo

308
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.039
explained quote a friend of mine sent me this picture

309
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.920
from his group of friends in Chile. The snap shows

310
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.400
two men and three women crowding around each other to

311
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:00.160
take a selfie, with some people coming up the out

312
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.519
and pass in the background. It all seems totally innocent

313
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.880
until you look between the woman on the left and

314
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.480
the woman in the middle. Between their two faces appears

315
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.440
to be a sixth ghostly figure with its nose and

316
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:17.759
mouth visible when you zoom in. Oh, I'm gonna show

317
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:24.759
it to you Chell, Okay, Oh yeah, oh man, I've

318
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:26.240
seen pictures like that before.

319
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:31.480
Yeah, okay, sorry that you've taken.

320
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.640
No, no, maybe. Uh So what we have here is

321
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.559
a group of young people, all with smiles, and between

322
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:43.759
two people there's a nose, lips and maybe eyes can

323
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:50.400
be seen, but it's in shadows. To me, that's just

324
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:54.240
another person like tucked between them.

325
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.680
It's possible, but you'd think that they'd know if there's

326
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.440
another person tucked between them.

327
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.480
Right, well they well they might also know what it

328
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.279
takes to get Internet clout, which is to say that no,

329
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:06.720
there was no other person there.

330
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.880
I mean, I think I think probably most likely is

331
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.240
it's just some sort of paradolia and we're seeing is

332
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.559
like some part of someone's coat. But our brains are saying, oh,

333
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:17.839
that's a nose and a mouth.

334
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.839
Uh. That's not a bad idea because if you look

335
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.039
at where where they meet, there's a guy's jacket that's open, yeah,

336
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.839
going right through the middle there.

337
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.000
And we know that like some of what we're seeing

338
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.759
is those girls both of their hair.

339
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:33.880
Yes, that's a good point.

340
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:39.119
Misinterpreting some things.

341
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.960
Well in paradolia is our naturally human desire to look

342
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:46.240
for faces? Yes, okay, I wanted to make I wanted

343
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.799
to make sure that I was correct and that any

344
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.200
audience member who is as stupid as me, which that

345
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.200
is a stretch, but if they are as stupid as me,

346
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.720
I'd want to make sure that they also know what

347
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:02.640
it means. So U then under the photograph of the

348
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.559
caption says the owner of this photo said, a friend

349
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.160
of mine sent me this picture from his group of

350
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:11.559
friends in Chile. Oh. Excellent, excellent, excellent writing. The Facebook

351
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.359
post has racked up more than fourteen hundred likes and

352
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.680
hundreds of comments, with social media users seemingly convinced that

353
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:25.359
the image shows some form of spirit or ghost. One

354
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.480
comment or said quote that gave me the shivers, which

355
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:36.319
normally mean my sixth sense kicked in. Loll okay. A

356
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.240
second said, how scary is this in broad daylight? Though?

357
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.160
And how the heck did whatever it is get in

358
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.440
between these people? What a great catch? That meaning, what

359
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.279
a great catch that meaning a lot of people, including me,

360
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:51.039
wouldn't have even spotted it, Like if I took the picture.

361
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:56.880
I mean that is definitely a legitimate Facebook comment. Yes, yeah,

362
00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.480
and a third said quote, oh wow, this is a

363
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.319
great catch. I have a feeling it's not a good spirit.

364
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.599
It's scary. Wonder who the spirit is attached to.

365
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.240
Sure, I mean I'm not saying it's not a spirit,

366
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.400
because it could be. We can be seeing what we're seeing.

367
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:14.119
And oh, I thought you bet. It could be. It

368
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.359
could be an out of context label to a bottle

369
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:17.440
of liquor when you said.

370
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.240
It was a spirit. Yeah, a spirit.

371
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.480
Yeah, old scary face vodka, the best vodka for under

372
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:29.640
seven dollars. Old scary face vodka that needs to be

373
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.839
a product. Just a bottle of vodka with a really

374
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.240
creepy face. Is the actually, dude? That would man, I

375
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.720
should Actually, that's a brilliant idea, actually scary face vodka.

376
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:41.359
Yeah, it would sell, It would sell.

377
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:46.720
Oh yeah. However, not everyone seems convinced by the image.

378
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:51.319
One comment read quote it's too defined, you can see

379
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:54.240
teeth and whatnot. I don't know on I just don't

380
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:57.160
know on this one, and a second said quote, real

381
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.680
or altered, I never know these days, but that is

382
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:07.400
really creepy. So here's an interesting thing. Sheell I actually

383
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.519
used generative AI when I was creating a piece of

384
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:16.039
art for a podcast, and literally I did that thing.

385
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.319
I added a face to a corner where there was nothing.

386
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.000
Oh okay, I'm gonna pull it up for you real

387
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:24.680
quick so you can take a look at it. It's

388
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:29.559
actually the new artwork for Terrifying and True. What I

389
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.480
did was I took a couple pictures and combined them,

390
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:34.640
and then I used generative AI to add like a

391
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:39.960
little final touch to it. Okay, so let me show

392
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.759
this to you. So basically it's a shot of a

393
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.440
man with a scared face, right, and originally on the

394
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:51.119
top right corner there was just darkness, you know, like

395
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.640
a shadow. So I selected that in general AI and

396
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.920
I put a grinning, creepy face, okay, And I think

397
00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:59.519
that really makes the image come together.

398
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:02.079
Yeah I do too. Yeah.

399
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.960
So it's just it's just funny because that made me

400
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:08.799
think of it, because that's very similar. Yeah, generative AI

401
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.519
is getting crazy, yep. Although yesterday I asked it to

402
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.160
add bats to the background of an image and it

403
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.559
made it added like cartoon bats, like literally like cartoon

404
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:20.359
drawings of bats. Yeah.

405
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:21.119
Sometimes.

406
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.920
Well, then I commented and I said realistic bats, and

407
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.480
it made them even more like a cartoon, like they

408
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:34.440
had like smiley faces. So I ended up just using

409
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.160
a stock photo of bats that I bought.

410
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.319
You didn't try like less realistic, and maybe they would.

411
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.160
I should have put put cartoon bats that no one

412
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.200
would ever think are real here, and it would be

413
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.079
like got you, fam and then they would like they

414
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.599
would be super realistic. They look big, look more real

415
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.759
than actual bats. Look. Yes, yeah, it would be it

416
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:53.799
would be amazing.

417
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:56.480
Yeah, next time, I hope.

418
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.880
Next time, damn it, next time we're going to get there.

419
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:06.400
Yeah together. Okay, I believe in us, but do you

420
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:07.559
believe in us?

421
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:09.079
Oh?

422
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:13.160
That's fair. So since you your day job is as

423
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.240
a home inspector and you own a home inspection business,

424
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.720
are you planning uninspected the haunted houses? You know, to

425
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.920
stay in the Halloween spirit.

426
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:25.200
I've always wanted to inspect a haunted house, but I

427
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.160
don't I don't know. I may have already inspected haunted houses.

428
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.200
I mean, you're like, looking back at my notes, I

429
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:35.000
did put in here that the house kept saying get out,

430
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:37.759
but it could be a foundation issue.

431
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:42.359
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there was one house that I looked at. Actually,

432
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:44.000
there were a couple of houses that I looked at.

433
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:47.000
One when I was trying to buy a house that like,

434
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.079
I was in there and I was like, I would

435
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.720
not want to be here at night, and I don't

436
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.000
know why I felt like that. And then there was

437
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:56.519
a house I was looking at when I thought I

438
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:58.920
was going to like be a landlord that didn't work out,

439
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.799
and my brain, when I was walking up the stairs

440
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:04.680
was just like, Okay, you should run now, and I

441
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.960
was like, I don't know what that means. Yeah, geez,

442
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:11.640
so there you.

443
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.480
Go, creepy. Thank you for that. I think you're welcome.

444
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.279
But I still really loved that house that I didn't

445
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.119
want to be in at night so much, but there

446
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.039
was but it felt really weird being in there. But

447
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.640
it was so cute, but I was afraid of it.

448
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:32.400
I mean, I like to think that's how cats feel

449
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:37.160
about us. Oh well, we're going to take a quick

450
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.200
break and we'll be back with even more spooky news.

451
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:55.319
We are back with more spooky news and chill. This

452
00:25:55.359 --> 00:26:00.400
one is from NPR your favorite. Have you ever had

453
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.559
somebody tell you to put on a happy face or

454
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:07.079
smile anything like that? Yes, you have how do you

455
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:08.359
feel when people say that to you?

456
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:10.079
Sad?

457
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:15.680
You feel sad? Yeah, as anybody ever said to you.

458
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.400
When you smile at the world, the world smiles back.

459
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.079
I mean, I don't know. Maybe I try to block

460
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:23.599
these things out.

461
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:27.400
Well, you're about to add something new that you'll want

462
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.319
to block out of your memory here in a second.

463
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:33.880
Because NPR is reporting this headline alone made me have

464
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:38.920
to click on this. It is the headline is a

465
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:42.559
robot gets a face of living skin that allows it

466
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:50.240
to smile. And here's an animation. Here's an animation of this.

467
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:54.559
This mortifiing buying pile of what looks like flesh, smiling

468
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:57.240
and then relaxing and then smiling again.

469
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.480
It looks like ham, but very wet ham.

470
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:04.400
Isn't that just what skin is? I mean, very wet

471
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:08.160
am Maybe, I mean, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

472
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:10.640
No, that's what muscle is.

473
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:15.759
Oh no. An image released by University of Tokyo, of

474
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:20.640
course it's Japanese. Tokyo researcher shows a robot smiling with

475
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:24.599
the help of mechanical actuators beneath a flexible layer of

476
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:29.400
living skin. It literally is just a pile of flesh

477
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:31.359
with some goofy eyes for something.

478
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:34.359
Yeah, well, it's not that they're goofy, it's just that

479
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:36.240
they don't have eyelids yet.

480
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.319
So yeah, I guess when I said goofy, I meant

481
00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:41.440
because they feel kind of out of place in that way.

482
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:44.880
Well, they need to have eyes if it's gonna smile.

483
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:50.279
Gosh, if humanoid robots can make you a bit queasy,

484
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:52.680
would it help if they had fleshy faces that can

485
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:58.440
smile at you? Well done, NPR, Well done. The Uncanny

486
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.519
Feet is the result of new tech knowlogy using engineered

487
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:05.440
living skin tissue and human like ligaments to give give

488
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:09.839
robots a more natural smile. According to Tokyo University researchers,

489
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:12.960
who unveiled their work this week, I just imagine that

490
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:17.119
scientists is like, this robot kind of makes me uncomfortable.

491
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:19.640
But you know, if we put some living skin and

492
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:22.720
human like ligaments in it, I feel like I would

493
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:25.279
like it more. I would feel like, Oh, you're my friend,

494
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:32.640
you're fine. Quote. In this study, we managed to replicate

495
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:37.799
human appearance to some extent, Yes, to some extent, by

496
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.039
creating a face with the same surface material and structure

497
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:46.319
as humans. Professor Soji Taka Takeuchi, the team leader, said

498
00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:49.279
in a news release. In the process, he added, quote,

499
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.480
we identified new challenges, such as the necessity for surface

500
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.160
wrinkles and a thicker epidermist to achieve a more human

501
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:06.400
like appearance. Yeah, h horrors beyond human wrecking or human imagination. Finally,

502
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:10.640
how does this make you feel? Chell?

503
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:16.559
Worried? Because if it can smile, also, one day it

504
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:22.400
will frown Oh no.

505
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:22.799
No, we'll limit its programming. No frowning.

506
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.880
Well, that's the thing I was thinking of that, And

507
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.440
it's not gonna work because if it can smile when

508
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.799
it's not smiling, it will be frowning then, or.

509
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.759
It'll just smile thirty times harder and become some kind

510
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:38.720
of a terrifying face. When it's angry.

511
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:40.799
It's already a terrifying face.

512
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:43.960
Yeah. Yeah, we're looking at a three D mold covered

513
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:48.559
with living skin. Yeah uh. The approach promises to make

514
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.839
robots more lifelike and in the future are nightmares to

515
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:55.880
no and in the future, The researchers say similar techniques

516
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:59.119
could also be used on humans in the cosmetics and

517
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.480
plastic surgery re industries. Their findings were published in the

518
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.799
Journal of Cell Reports, Physical science, so.

519
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:09.599
We can make humans who don't want to smile smile.

520
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:13.480
Yes, this would be great for retail workers right. Oh,

521
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:19.640
this is only I wanted to say. Like from the

522
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:26.160
medical journal Horrors Beyond All Human Comprehension monthly to overlay

523
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.279
and connect the lab produced skin on a robot skeleton.

524
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.240
Oh man, the sentences. A layer of collagen gel containing

525
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.960
cultured human dermal fibroblasts, a type of connective tissue cell,

526
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:41.960
binds to an innovative system of tiny V shaped perforations

527
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.000
in the surface, letting the skin move with the underlying

528
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:50.319
structure without tearing or peel it. I like to imagine

529
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:53.160
that during the tests they were like they were like, ah,

530
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:55.640
the face where it smiles and all the flesh tears

531
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:00.480
off as too haunting, we can we agreed forty five

532
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.240
percent haunting was the maximum haunting we were going to

533
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:08.519
go with the work of muscles. Creating a smile and

534
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:11.960
other motions is done by actuators.

535
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.400
That's what you use.

536
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:19.920
Techiyuci's Biohybrid Systems laboratory is previously engineered skin that can heal,

537
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:24.359
created small robots with biological muscle tissue, and three D

538
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:30.480
printed lab grown meat hmmm, would you eat lab grown meat? Chell?

539
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:35.200
I don't know. I haven't decided because A I don't

540
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:38.680
like meat that much, so I might eat lab grown meat. B.

541
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:41.920
I think you still have to make a thing and

542
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.519
then kill it, so I don't really want that.

543
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:47.519
I mean, I think you. I mean the cells in

544
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.119
the lab grown meat would have to be alive, but

545
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.400
there would be no consciousness being killed. It would have

546
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:53.200
I would assume it would be very similar to killing

547
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:53.640
a plant.

548
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.440
I think that's probably bad too.

549
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:01.559
Killing plants. Yeah, what are you gonna eat? Shell? I'm

550
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:02.519
worrying about you.

551
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:05.559
I feel like I can eat fruit because I because

552
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:09.160
fruit are going to come off the plant anyway, so

553
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:12.519
they're not going to be angry at me if I

554
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:13.200
eat the fruit.

555
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.599
You don't know for all you know, when you're eating

556
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:17.519
an apple, it's just sitting there hating you the whole time.

557
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:22.240
I say, I hate her so much. She's awful. Oh damn, Sorry,

558
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:23.920
I just ruined apples for you. I'm sorry.

559
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:26.400
I didn't mean to really like apples that much.

560
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:31.480
Wow. Yeah, now you hate them?

561
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:32.519
Now I hate them?

562
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:37.480
Okay, that's fair. Well, it's just you've been a vegetarian

563
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.480
for most of your life.

564
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:43.640
Right for I don't know, a long time, sure.

565
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.359
I mean most of your life. Are you just uncomfortable

566
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.680
realizing how how long you've been alive? Yes, that's fair.

567
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:52.720
So but yeah, so I didn't know if maybe, like

568
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:56.440
I know, because I've known you so long, what your

569
00:32:56.480 --> 00:33:01.440
weakness would potentially be. Yeah, it would be lab grown

570
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:07.839
meat turned into sausages. Yeah, your favorite meat is sausages.

571
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:09.119
Yes, it is.

572
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:13.079
Would makes sense though, because sausages are you know that

573
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:17.039
it's not just meat, It's it's prepared, it's spiced, it's seasoned,

574
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:18.680
it's you know, whole deal.

575
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:23.519
Mm hmm. Yeah, yeah, I mean I would if I

576
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:27.119
thought that, I mean, I would probably try lab grown meat,

577
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.920
you know, have it like as much as I eat

578
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:34.000
like fish, which is basically never because I can't afford it.

579
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:43.559
So yeah, yeah, I missed when fish was cheap fish quote.

580
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:47.400
Self healing is a big deal. Some chemical based materials

581
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:50.559
can be made to heal themselves, but they require triggers

582
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.599
such as heat, pressure, or other signals, and they also

583
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:58.799
do not proliferate like cells. He said. Biological skin repairs

584
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:02.440
minor lacerations as ours does, and nerves and other skin

585
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:05.519
organs can be added for use and sensing and so on.

586
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:10.400
We could finally get printers that feel pain. They would

587
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:15.760
finally obey us. I stand by that printers they just

588
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:18.360
need they just need to know how to suffer, so

589
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.679
they'll they'll do our bidding.

590
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:23.719
My printer works. But also it doesn't have any ink

591
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:26.159
in it all the time, like all the time, Like

592
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:28.280
I put new ink in it and it's like out

593
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:28.920
of ink again.

594
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:34.559
Shell, did you get oem ink or like third party?

595
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:40.320
No? I get the regular the manufacturer ink. But hmm,

596
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:43.639
it just like I like, I'll be like, oh, I'll

597
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:45.400
conserve it and not use it very much because I

598
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.559
don't need it. And then it just I swear it

599
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:54.079
must like dry up or something, because I.

600
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:55.119
I mean, in my experience, ink needs a few years

601
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:57.159
of no use to to really dry up.

602
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:01.639
Well I don't it's not that long because hmmm, I print.

603
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:03.760
I don't know. It's like I feel like I print

604
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:06.320
almost nothing and I need new ink.

605
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:08.239
How old is the printer?

606
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:11.559
Ah, you know, maybe like four years old or.

607
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:16.519
Something that's not even that old. No, huh, I hate,

608
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.239
I know, buddy, Maybe you should get a laser printer

609
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:20.800
because the ink is totally different.

610
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.159
I can't afford a laser printer.

611
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:26.960
You can buy them used now they're much more common.

612
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:31.119
There's still expensive use because I've looked at them a

613
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:33.599
black and white. Yeah, but then what about if I

614
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:34.239
need color?

615
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:39.079
Then you just print out at a freaking FedEx Kinkos.

616
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:42.239
That's what I do anyway, that's my point.

617
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.119
Yeah, okay, fine, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make

618
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:51.320
a good point. Biometric robots could also become even more

619
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:55.800
realistic with thicker skin, Takiyuchi said, adding that future projects

620
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:59.039
could look to add sensors, pores, and even sweat glands

621
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:03.920
and fat. Why would we I don't know. I like

622
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:05.960
to think that at the end of this article, they'll

623
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:08.920
be like he continued talking as we locked the door

624
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:14.599
on his padded cell. The team's paper says their work

625
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.920
could also bring insights into how humans wrinkles are formed,

626
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:23.599
and by incorporating more sophisticated actuators and eventually cultured muscle tissue,

627
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:26.440
their approach could help robots in the future move and

628
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:29.760
fluid human like ways. I don't want I want to

629
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:31.760
know who's a robot?

630
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:36.320
You know how this goes? Soon? You don't know so well?

631
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.840
That's why. That's why I like dogs, because in Terminator

632
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:42.400
they're like only dogs could really tell. They just always knew.

633
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.360
Because they smell weird.

634
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:50.360
Yeah, yeah, they just know. Well dogs, you know, they're

635
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:53.519
they're good at threat assessment. I mean, I mean good

636
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:57.800
is the wrong word. They're aware of threat assessment. Yeah,

637
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.360
they're like, ah, there's a person outside. I'm like, that's

638
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.719
just the guy who's always out there. And the dog's ah,

639
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:08.119
and I'm like, good dog. For now the robot can't

640
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:11.960
For now, the robot can't feel its face, putting it

641
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.840
in a category pioneered by able test fay aka The Weekend.

642
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:21.360
Not long ago, many of us smiled when technology managed

643
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.079
to put the singer's words about his face into the

644
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.000
mouth of a US president. Wow, they were really trying

645
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.599
to make that a great article in PR. It ends

646
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:34.920
with a link to a music video where I guess

647
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.119
they it was like Barack Obama mouthing a song by

648
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:38.719
the Weekend.

649
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:41.000
Good job in PR.

650
00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:48.480
Your hip you're so hip for sure. The elderly people

651
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:53.000
reading NPR just like, what, No, it's Wednesday, this isn't

652
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:59.480
the weekend. Who's drunk? So we're gonna take a quick

653
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:07.960
break and we'll be back with even more spooky news.

654
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:13.760
All right, we got a little more spooky news for

655
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:17.880
you this one. We're heading back to the classic Mirror

656
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:22.039
dot co dot uk. I like how the moment Chell

657
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.239
heard that, she just like leaned her head into the mic,

658
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:25.000
Like I give up?

659
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:25.760
Yeah?

660
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:30.159
Why is it always Mirror dot co dot uk. But

661
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:35.679
the headline is exclusive ghost Hunters discover proof of poltergeists

662
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.400
during abandoned Derbyshire mills search.

663
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:39.719
Wow.

664
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.360
Proof huh proof? Oh oh, proof of poltergeist is in quotes?

665
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:50.360
Oh the entire like like they said the term.

666
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:53.440
Yeah, yeah, it says ghost hunters discover than quote proof

667
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:56.719
of poltergeist end quote during Yeah, that's a good way

668
00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:57.360
to get away with that.

669
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.599
Yeah. Yeah.

670
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:05.400
A group of ghost hunters say they were confronted by

671
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:10.639
a poltergeist during a quote scary end quote investigation of

672
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:14.440
an abandoned mill. Like they put scary quist to where

673
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.960
they fraid someone to go sue your honor. This was

674
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:18.039
clearly not scary.

675
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:20.199
Yeah what are you talking about?

676
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:26.320
Wah. Paranormal based in Yorkshire ventured to matt Locke, Derbyshire

677
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:30.559
to check out the infamous dilapidated building during their adventure.

678
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:33.039
The team made up of Andrew Pollard as well as

679
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:36.840
mother and daughter Wendy and Haley Whitehouse, were attempting to

680
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:41.679
make contact with the Beyond. As they tried to entice

681
00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:45.000
his spirit to interact with their equipment, their video camera

682
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:50.920
suddenly appeared to push over. Oh hope it wasn't expensive,

683
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:55.360
me too. Later, when they checked the footage, they found

684
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:59.440
shadows creeping around from figures they could not see and

685
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:05.320
felt an energy they could not explain. Oh, I mean,

686
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:07.920
for the record, I think there are lots of energies

687
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:10.679
I can't explain because I'm just not a very smart person.

688
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:21.760
But fair enough, I guess, I guess, I guess good. Sorry,

689
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:25.559
I'm so stupid. Here's a picture of them cell for you,

690
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:29.719
of them using a Ouiji board of sorts, okay, in

691
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:31.840
a abandoned place.

692
00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:34.719
With like a table and some chairs they brought it.

693
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:39.280
Looks like a TV tray and some folding chairs. Literally

694
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:40.880
what I do when I go to like the drive in,

695
00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:43.039
I have folding chairs in one TV tray I just

696
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.000
snagged from home.

697
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:47.559
That's nice. Yeah, TV trays.

698
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:51.360
You don't have any TV trays? No? Do you want some?

699
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:55.280
I have extra now no, what would I do with them? Well,

700
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:58.119
in my mother's words, when I first lived on my own,

701
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.480
she said, the first thing you get is TV trays

702
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:05.719
because they're literally anything, their end tables, their dining room table,

703
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:09.679
they are literally any table space you need immediately.

704
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.480
Yeah. I guess I don't really need any extra table space.

705
00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:16.280
When I lived in Jersey, I had a not very

706
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:18.480
big table or not very big TV, so I put

707
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:21.239
it on a TV tray, which made it incredibly literal.

708
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:25.480
Yeah I like that. Yeah.

709
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:27.400
Well, when I was cleaning out my office, one of

710
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:29.400
the big problems was I had two TV trays in

711
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:33.679
the back, just buried in stuff, like in work stuff. Yeah.

712
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:36.199
I'm really learning a lot about how to organize now

713
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:39.599
that I have that ADHD diagnosis. I started reading and

714
00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:44.760
listening to topics of people talking about organizing with ADHD,

715
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.440
and now things make so much more sense. It's been

716
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:50.000
a week and this room has only gotten slightly messier,

717
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:53.519
which is actually really impressive for me. Good so, and

718
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:57.000
it's honestly slightly messier because everything is still in a

719
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:01.920
chaotic flux. So Hey said quote. It's a nice location,

720
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:04.800
But as the evening went on, it felt as though

721
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:09.280
someone was watching us. We had that feeling pretty much

722
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:14.599
all night. Okay, have you ever felt like someone was

723
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.519
watching you while you were hiking or have you gone

724
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:24.039
camping before? No? Not in not in a tent, Oh

725
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:27.280
in a car. Yeah, I mean that's kind of the same,

726
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:28.079
except not.

727
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:30.559
It's a little bit sadder.

728
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:33.039
But you know, well, I guess it depends on where

729
00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:36.400
you're parked. Like, if you're parked, you know, behind an

730
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:40.079
abandoned kmart, sad. If you're parked like at a national park,

731
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:46.400
not so sad. It was sad, Okay, got it. In

732
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.840
addition to this, a lot of questions we asked were

733
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:52.519
being answered on Q. Obviously, many things can be debunked,

734
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:58.159
but it was a rather strange evening. The team started

735
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:01.039
by using a Ouiji board and later asked any spirits

736
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:05.360
lurking to answer their questions. During the evening, captured on

737
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:09.559
a live stream on YouTube, voices were heard saying, quote

738
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:15.880
please don't kill me, and quote help trouble and the

739
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:17.000
name Wendy.

740
00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:20.239
Well, you don't have to worry about the first one

741
00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:21.519
because they're already dead.

742
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:24.960
So yeah, or at the very least they're afraid of you,

743
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:28.840
which is good. That means you have the upper hand. Yeah. Yeah.

744
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:32.039
When they asked if anyone was there, a voice seemed

745
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:38.079
to answer with a cheery hello, what that's nice though.

746
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:39.880
Yeah.

747
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:42.440
Oh, here's another photograph of them in action that is

748
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:47.199
definitely a TV tray. Look at that. Yeah, it just

749
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:49.440
makes me think of it. It really makes me think

750
00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:52.639
of going to a drive in. Yeah, because literally it's

751
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:53.760
like I go to the driving I'm like, all right,

752
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:55.800
I got two chairs, I got some blankets, I got

753
00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:57.920
this and that. I'll just grab a TV tray from

754
00:43:57.920 --> 00:43:59.400
the living room, Like why not, know, then we have

755
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:05.000
some to sit on. Yeah. Despite the encounters, Wendy said

756
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:08.000
she did not feel threatened as they stood together in

757
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:11.519
the woods. She said, quote, it actually felt quite calm

758
00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:13.320
and wasn't at all threatening.

759
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:15.000
Okay, well that's good.

760
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:18.119
Yeah. I mean if I was like in the woods

761
00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:22.719
near like an abandoned derelict building or whatever, and I

762
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:25.320
was just chilling out and like voices were saying stuff

763
00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:27.159
to me that I couldn't see where they were coming from,

764
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:29.519
I would be like, this is this is ChIL af

765
00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:33.800
this is just like this is like a whole ambience,

766
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:34.119
you know.

767
00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:37.559
Well, I mean, to be fair, if they're like ghost unners,

768
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:41.760
like they should be used to this, so they really

769
00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:44.320
should not be freaked out when they hear what they're

770
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:45.559
looking for, you know.

771
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:51.679
I mean I guess, Okay, that's fair. That's fair. I

772
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:53.440
like that you're judging them. That's good.

773
00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:55.159
No. No, I mean like, if I went to a

774
00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:58.880
house that I was inspecting and everything I saw, I

775
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.400
was like, oh my god, it's the end of the world.

776
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:04.320
It would be weird because I'm not supposed to just

777
00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:06.760
like freak out over my normal job stuff.

778
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:08.800
I thought you'd like, it would be weird because that

779
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:10.440
would mean they actually believe in it.

780
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:14.199
Yeah.

781
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:18.039
I I mean, hey, if that's what it takes to relax,

782
00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:19.079
fair enough.

783
00:45:19.159 --> 00:45:22.159
Yeah, or something. Also, they're in the UK, so there's

784
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.400
not any big animals that can get them.

785
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:27.920
Yeah. And when it first said that the name Wendy,

786
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:29.559
I was like, well that was in America. I'd be like,

787
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:30.639
you mean Wendy go.

788
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:35.000
Oh, I would Wendy go. That's not what I was thinking.

789
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:39.079
Yeah, I know, you're never thinking about the Wendy go. Yeah,

790
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:42.920
I know, but they think about you. They don't know me,

791
00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:45.280
some of them do.

792
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:51.239
I respect their desire to eat human flesh.

793
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:55.480
Well, that's nice of you. It just felt like something

794
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:59.039
or someone was trying to make their presence known. It

795
00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:02.159
was quite atmosphere, Eric and Wendy, which made the investigation

796
00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:08.679
seem quote spooky at the time. Andrew previously visited the

797
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:12.679
area when cameras appeared to show him being followed by

798
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:17.079
what believed to be by what believed to be a

799
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:20.800
quote ghostly spirit as he walked through a doorway. He

800
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:23.280
said of the recent visit, quote, I knew from my

801
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:27.079
previous solo investigation that the old mill was active, but

802
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:31.239
it was really active this time around. That being said,

803
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:33.800
it didn't feel particularly threatening.

804
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:35.960
See.

805
00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:37.960
I mean, you know what, when you're right, you're right.

806
00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:41.679
Apparently I don't know what I'm right about, though.

807
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:50.199
Ah, he said previously quote last night I ventured out

808
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.960
to Matt Locke, Derbyshire, and I think I have caught

809
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:56.400
what appears to be some sort of apparition on camera.

810
00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:01.280
Being alone always makes me feel a little nervous. I

811
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:04.039
did feel a little uneasy, and actually commented in the

812
00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:06.920
full length video, I was getting a lot of electronic

813
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:10.519
light responses from the doorway. I'm not too sure who

814
00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:17.199
or what it could be. Yeah, so I guess that's

815
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:21.639
that's just straight up you know, that's just proof of

816
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:25.239
poltergeist according to mirraaor dot code at UK.

817
00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:28.719
Geez, you could just can so can you just send

818
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:31.400
in any time you go and ghost time and they'll

819
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:33.719
just publish it and merit dot code at.

820
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:37.039
UK Michelle, I think that that is so likely that

821
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:40.440
if you write up a story about us experience like

822
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:44.800
encountering a ghost, I will, I will take photos and

823
00:47:44.840 --> 00:47:46.840
we'll we'll see. I bet it would be publish it.

824
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:47.559
I bet they would.

825
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:51.320
Well, I don't lie, like to lie, so we have

826
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:55.360
to what about for recreation? No, so we have to

827
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:58.320
go see the ghost and then we can see if

828
00:47:58.360 --> 00:47:59.800
we can get in merrit dot coda.

829
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.719
It's so much more work than my idea.

830
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:08.679
I know, but it's important to be honest to them.

831
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:12.719
Well, speaking of important, I couldn't help but notice something

832
00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:15.199
on this Mirror dot code dot uk article that isn't

833
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:19.320
there that often, and that is there were three comments.

834
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:24.119
Oh and I feel like we should we should read them. Okay,

835
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.840
first from Womble die Hard that's his name, got more

836
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:31.239
chance of catching COVID than you have of a so

837
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:35.880
called ghost. Seriously, it's just to clickbait YouTube bonanza because

838
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.880
generally ten out of ten the videos produced no evidence

839
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:44.599
of the so called spirit world. He seems nice, but

840
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:48.280
here's the best part. So the next person is broken.

841
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:54.079
Bendy is like, this is like perfect, perfect comment etiquette.

842
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:58.239
The next comment is, any seasoned investigator will tell you

843
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.800
never use a spirit board. Oh, it says sprint Board

844
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:06.599
never uses sprit board, Sprint brand spirit boards. You never

845
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:09.360
know what door you opened. You could make it worse.

846
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:12.679
So now we have skeptic, followed immediately by somebody who

847
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:16.039
believes it but also is not on your side. Yes,

848
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:19.360
now let's see the final one. Now, this is where

849
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:22.920
it gets tricky because their username kind of gives it away.

850
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:31.039
Maybe their username is Contrarian Viewpoint, and they say they

851
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:34.639
haven't found proof of anything. These programs never do lots

852
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:37.079
of eerie camera shots in dark places and no evidence

853
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:39.079
of anything supernatural at.

854
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:45.000
All, So nobody's on their side. Basically, Yeah, that's so.

855
00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:46.840
I was expecting at least one that was gonna be like,

856
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:49.360
this is amazing work. I love what you do. I'm

857
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.280
outside your house right now, you know that kind of stuff.

858
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:59.039
But no, no, no, no, yeah no, So but We're

859
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.440
gonna take a quick break and we'll be back with

860
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:04.360
even more spooky news because we are just maggoty with it.

861
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:17.320
After this, All right, Shell, we got another piece of

862
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:21.400
spooky news in this one. I don't know if I'm

863
00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:23.760
going to be laughing at this one so much. This

864
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:26.679
one kind of upset me. The headline This is from

865
00:50:26.679 --> 00:50:32.079
newsweek dot Com. The headline mom grandma blamed ghosts after

866
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:43.079
toddlers test positive for fentanyl according to police fuck. Two

867
00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:46.840
women in Newton, North Carolina, are facing criminal charges after

868
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:50.559
being accused of causing severe injuries to two toddlers in

869
00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:56.000
their care. The defense is citing paranormal activity as the cause,

870
00:50:56.400 --> 00:51:02.800
according to a local ABC affiliate television station wc So

871
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:06.719
they're making that case in court.

872
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:07.639
Well, I mean, where else are they gonna make it?

873
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:09.840
I don't know what you want them to do.

874
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:14.599
Your hona. I may be a simple country lawyer from

875
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:18.400
a small town in Arkansas, and maybe I'd never seen

876
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:22.599
a polzageist myself. Perhaps I'm not a claaravoyant as many

877
00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:25.719
I've met in my life. Perhaps I am not a

878
00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:28.440
ghoul or a ghost, or a spector or a goblin.

879
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:32.199
But I can tell you right now, your honor, that

880
00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:36.000
I'm gonna stop now before I can. I have a

881
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.639
reputation with my friends when hanging out to start talking

882
00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:41.880
as a country lawyer and then never like, I'll just

883
00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:46.880
keep filibustering for as long as I possibly can. My

884
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:49.599
favorite is to start sighting things. But you just bounce

885
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:53.119
around time and space so much like you just go.

886
00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:55.960
Joan of Arc once said, as she was laying on

887
00:51:56.000 --> 00:51:59.000
the cross awaiting her burning, that sir, could we please

888
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:02.159
get move along to it? Of course I apologize. In

889
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:08.239
nineteen thirty two, as the Kaiser set laid waste to Germany,

890
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:11.719
just let you just keep passing back. I apologize as

891
00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:16.239
Moses stood on the hill. He just never never ends,

892
00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:20.119
all right. So Emily Marie Edwards twenty five and her mother,

893
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:24.679
Sherry Jean Edwards, fifty four, were arrested on August sixteenth

894
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:28.280
following a grand jury indictment on two counts each of

895
00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:33.840
felony child abuse causing serious bodily injury and causing serious

896
00:52:33.880 --> 00:52:37.280
bodily injury law on crime reports. The charges are based

897
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:40.320
on allegations dating back to December of twenty twenty three.

898
00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:43.679
The court documents reviewed by WSOC said that a one

899
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:47.599
year old and two year old suffered multiple injuries, including burns,

900
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:55.320
bite marks, and broken bones. Additionally, both children tested positive

901
00:52:55.719 --> 00:53:02.079
for fentanyl. Go on, make a joke, tell, make a joke.

902
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:05.840
No, I think the fentanyl is like the least upsetting

903
00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:08.840
part because they couldn't agreeten into it, you know. But

904
00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:11.559
the other stuff was that Yeah, yeah.

905
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:17.039
Yeah, No, agreed, Yeah, agreed. Honestly, I mean, if I

906
00:53:17.079 --> 00:53:19.360
had to guess how fentanyl would get into their system,

907
00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:22.920
they could have given them any number of illegally obtained

908
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:26.400
metas medications in the hopes that it would like help

909
00:53:26.440 --> 00:53:29.239
with the situation of abuse that's clearly going on here.

910
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:32.440
What I'm trying to say is like they may have

911
00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:35.440
thought they were giving the children a piece of a percocet,

912
00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:39.719
which is still not good. But like I'm just saying

913
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:42.599
that they probably weren't mainlining fent to the children. Yeah,

914
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:43.400
that's all I'm saying.

915
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:46.119
I agree, I agree, because that would be really weird,

916
00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:47.159
you know, it.

917
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:49.360
Would it would be, and that would suggest a like

918
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:51.719
pure malice. But like my guess is, if these kids

919
00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:56.039
are injured or being injured being abused, drugging them to

920
00:53:56.119 --> 00:54:00.639
make it less of an annoyance, makes sense. Yeah, yeah,

921
00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:05.519
so and also like I just find it would be

922
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:07.840
much more likely that like they had oxy they thought

923
00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:10.719
they had oxy codones or whatever, and in reality it

924
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:14.840
was just fentanyl. Yeah. Stuff's terrifying. I had a friend

925
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:18.280
who who came out as a drug addict, you know,

926
00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:19.880
and he was trying to turn his life around, and

927
00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:22.639
he said that the moment that really really made him

928
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:28.519
lock in on recovery was he had relapsed once after

929
00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:31.280
he had started, and his therapist was like, can you

930
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:34.719
bring me the pills you obtained because he was addicted

931
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:38.719
to OxyS So he brought the pills and the therapist said,

932
00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:41.239
I'll destroy them for you to help. So he gives

933
00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:43.000
them the pills, and the therapists well, he did eventually

934
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:45.480
destroy them, but he didn't destroy He tested them m hm,

935
00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:47.280
and it turned out it was just it was just

936
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:50.079
fentanyl and like and I think it was fentanyl, and

937
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:52.760
like they found methamphetamine in it too or something like.

938
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:54.639
It was it was just putting stuff together.

939
00:54:54.840 --> 00:54:56.360
Yeah, they were just putting stuff in to give you

940
00:54:56.400 --> 00:54:59.679
a buzz high and get your money, you know. And

941
00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:01.480
he's said that was what scared, and the most was

942
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:03.599
when he did not realize what was actually there.

943
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:05.440
Yeah. Yeah.

944
00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:08.360
I also had a friend who bought MDMA once and

945
00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:11.760
found out that it was actually just meth. He tested it.

946
00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:12.360
Thank goodwill.

947
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:12.760
Wow.

948
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:17.559
Yeah yeah. Anyway. When questioned by the Newton Police Department,

949
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:20.320
the Edwards women reportedly said that the injuries were the

950
00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:24.280
result of evil spirits within their apartment in Newton, about

951
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:28.639
forty miles from Charlotte, North Carolina. According to Newton Police

952
00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:33.119
Chief Vidal Sipe great Name, the women mentioned that they

953
00:55:33.159 --> 00:55:36.360
had been using a Ouiji board, which is used to

954
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:40.239
attempt to communicate with spirits, and suggested that the injuries

955
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:44.519
were inflicted by these spirits during nightmares the children experienced.

956
00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:47.880
So they were beating the kids with a ouigi born.

957
00:55:48.519 --> 00:55:52.639
I could be or I mean, the other thing is

958
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:58.360
this could be I'm trying to be as fair as

959
00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:03.480
I can stand to be about something this serious. One

960
00:56:03.519 --> 00:56:05.960
of the children could be having like full blown night

961
00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:10.239
terrors and hurting themselves, but then also restraining them and

962
00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:15.880
stuff is hurting them more. Like I mean, there's clearly abuse.

963
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:19.920
There's clearly like this is clearly a big problem. I'm

964
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:24.559
just saying, like they could be so ignorant that they

965
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:27.199
think that they're helping by like grabbing these children if

966
00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:32.039
they're freaking out or something. I don't know.

967
00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:35.239
I mean, I like your take on it. I don't.

968
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:38.239
I don't think so, but I I that is a

969
00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:40.159
very kind take on it.

970
00:56:41.320 --> 00:56:44.480
Well, I'm just I'm just saying, this is a very

971
00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:47.480
strange defense.

972
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:49.519
It is a really strange defense.

973
00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:53.280
Yeah, which makes me think that maybe they're religious, you know,

974
00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:56.400
they're very extremely religious, or maybe they really think that

975
00:56:56.480 --> 00:57:02.119
this is happening. But it's I would say it's not. Quote.

976
00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:07.679
The basic response was nightmares. Sype explained to WSOCTV. Quote,

977
00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:10.039
they heard the kids yelling and went over to find

978
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:13.079
injuries on them. They claimed that spirits in the house

979
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:18.360
were responsible for these injuries. The indictment accuses the women

980
00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:22.159
of acting with a quote reckless disregard for life and

981
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:25.920
failing to report the extensive injuries observed on the toddlers.

982
00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:31.199
The court documents detailed the children's injuries and suggest that

983
00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:35.119
the abuse oh okay, well, someonet that the abuse was

984
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:37.800
a result of actions taken by the mother and grandmother.

985
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:41.599
Sype also said there was possibly a third adult involved

986
00:57:41.599 --> 00:57:47.920
who passed away earlier this year. According to WSOCTV, the

987
00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:52.960
neighbors in the area expressed Neighbors in the area expressed

988
00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:57.719
skepticism about the Edwards account of events. You think one

989
00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:01.679
neighbor who also, oh, yeah, that house is that house

990
00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:04.079
is just goddamn full of goddamn poldar guys right there

991
00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:06.800
that I'm gonna tell you what. One neighbor who also

992
00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:10.159
spoke to the TV channel, dismissed the notion of paranormal activity, saying,

993
00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:16.079
I think that's crazy. Yeah. The other thing is it

994
00:58:16.159 --> 00:58:19.880
mentions another adult who may have been involved and passed

995
00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:22.599
away earlier this year. Now we don't know who they

996
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:24.199
were or how they might have passed away, but if

997
00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:27.840
these three adults are all participating in this, that makes

998
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:32.159
me think that they may have a justification in their

999
00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:39.000
minds for what's going on. Yeah. Why That's why I'm saying, like,

1000
00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:43.760
maybe they really think this is happening because they're cuckoo.

1001
00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:47.480
Banana is not to use a technical term, but I

1002
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:50.400
don't mean to, you know, to use high and mighty

1003
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:52.679
language that makes people feel like they can't follow what

1004
00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:55.679
I'm saying. But I'm just saying that, like that's kind

1005
00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:58.320
of my thought. Or maybe or perhaps one of them

1006
00:58:59.320 --> 00:59:02.880
is knowingly and intentionally harming the children and the others

1007
00:59:03.119 --> 00:59:04.079
are being misled.

1008
00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:05.800
I mean, that's possible.

1009
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:08.599
I'm just saying, like, what are the odds that three

1010
00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:12.159
adults would all just be fine with this unless they

1011
00:59:12.199 --> 00:59:15.480
had an explanation put forward. Yeah, And obviously there are

1012
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:18.199
some people who are just truly heinous and evil, But

1013
00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:20.960
the fact that they were arrested and went with that

1014
00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:23.639
instead of just shutting up and their lawyer telling them

1015
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:26.159
to shut up, which is what lawyers usually tell you

1016
00:59:26.159 --> 00:59:28.880
to do when you've done something. They're saying like there

1017
00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:30.719
was paranormal activity in the house and blah blah blah

1018
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:34.440
blah blah. It just makes me wonder, you know, if

1019
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:37.559
somebody is just really gullible or something.

1020
00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:38.559
Yeah.

1021
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:42.320
Yeah, And the fendol in their systems is really a

1022
00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:47.119
weird element too. It is because if they're being drugged,

1023
00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:50.199
that could be an attempt to control them, or it

1024
00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:52.679
could have been a vain attempt to and I'm putting

1025
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:55.159
this in massive quotes help them.

1026
00:59:56.000 --> 01:00:01.519
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, because like but then

1027
01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:05.559
it's like, but then if it was okay, so control them, definitely,

1028
01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:07.519
But if it if it's you know, to help them

1029
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:10.599
because they're hurt or something. I'm just thinking, like, if

1030
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:13.280
you really believe that there's ghosts that are hurting them,

1031
01:00:13.719 --> 01:00:17.199
like you're why aren't you taking steps to you know,

1032
01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:19.760
get them out of the house, get them somewhere safe,

1033
01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:23.159
or like take them to the hospital. Because if you

1034
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:25.800
believe it enough to say like, oh no, this was

1035
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:28.400
ghosts in a court of law, you think you'd you

1036
01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:29.920
think you'd be able to go to the hospital and

1037
01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:33.159
be like, listen, the Poulter guys hurt my kid, Like

1038
01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:34.840
we need to fix this, you know.

1039
01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:38.119
But maybe but maybe the other argument is but we'll

1040
01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:42.679
end up in jail because they'll think we hurt the kids.

1041
01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:45.480
Yeah, and I yeah, but.

1042
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:48.280
That's where it gets hard to get it really gets challenging.

1043
01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:52.440
Yeah. Yeah, but so but then it's like, well, then

1044
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:56.840
where's the divide Because you know, if you know that

1045
01:00:57.239 --> 01:00:59.760
the hospital's not going to leave you because they're not,

1046
01:01:01.519 --> 01:01:03.119
how come you don't know that? This isn't a good

1047
01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:05.280
idea to say in court.

1048
01:01:06.159 --> 01:01:11.159
Yeah. And the other thing is like it didn't say

1049
01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:14.000
how they found out. I guess it was just a

1050
01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:19.239
complaint yeah. Maybe, so I wouldn't be surprised if the

1051
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:21.440
reason they didn't tell anybody was because they thought this

1052
01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:26.519
is exactly what would happened. Yeah. Yeah, uh, well, that's

1053
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:29.280
such a mess. I wanted to pick only the lightest

1054
01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:38.840
of hearted spooky news stories for you. So yeah, let's see. Currently, currently,

1055
01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:43.719
both women are being held in Katawab Katawba County Jail,

1056
01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:47.199
with bonds set at twenty five thousand dollars each. According

1057
01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:51.880
to the radio station station WHKY, Emily Edwards has already

1058
01:01:51.880 --> 01:01:54.480
appeared in court on Monday, August nineteenth, but her next

1059
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:57.639
hearing has not been scheduled. Sherry Edwards is due to

1060
01:01:57.679 --> 01:01:59.519
appear in court on October seventh.

1061
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:03.239
Okay, so.

1062
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:09.719
The element, yeah, this element of claiming spirits is really bizarre.

1063
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:17.400
I don't know, man, But what I do know is

1064
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:19.280
we're gonna take a break and then talk about a

1065
01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:36.159
story that's not that dark right after this, All right, Shelle,

1066
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:41.199
I have a much happier piece of spooky news, which

1067
01:02:41.239 --> 01:02:44.800
I also think is related to your interests.

1068
01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:47.639
Oh, okay, okay.

1069
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:54.679
It's from the Huffington Post, Okay, okay, and the headline

1070
01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:59.480
is Minnesota cat dies in sewer No I'm kidding. No,

1071
01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:03.039
it's Minnesota. Cat survives being trapped in a sewer for

1072
01:03:03.159 --> 01:03:04.400
nearly eight weeks.

1073
01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:06.159
Oh no, I'm glad.

1074
01:03:06.199 --> 01:03:08.320
It's a lot Yeah no, no, No. That's why it's a

1075
01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:11.440
happy story is because the cat survived. It's an incredible

1076
01:03:11.480 --> 01:03:12.760
story of perseverance.

1077
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:14.719
Yay in sewers.

1078
01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:21.079
Yay. And it's a tabby cat. Okay, look at a kitty.

1079
01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:24.559
Ah, look at it. Pause.

1080
01:03:26.360 --> 01:03:27.760
Kiddy's name is Drifter.

1081
01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:32.360
Ah, wish my name was Drifter.

1082
01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:37.039
I mean it could be. So this story takes place

1083
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:41.280
out of Duluth, Minnesota. A cat aptly named Drifter is

1084
01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:44.159
safe at home after sneaking outside and getting trapped in

1085
01:03:44.199 --> 01:03:48.000
a sewer for nearly eight weeks. So this wasn't even

1086
01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:52.599
a stray. This was a family pet named Drifter.

1087
01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:55.639
Well, let's be let's be real here. If this was

1088
01:03:55.679 --> 01:03:58.199
a stray, they wouldn't have gotten trapped. They would have

1089
01:03:58.239 --> 01:03:58.679
been fine.

1090
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:04.800
Wow, to blame the victim? Sorry, hey, you know what,

1091
01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:08.440
you got to keep it based, I understand. The three

1092
01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:11.599
year old tabby and indoor feline who had aspirations of

1093
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:14.320
being an outdoor cat, went missing from the home of

1094
01:04:14.400 --> 01:04:18.760
Clifton Nesseth and Ashley Comstock in the northeastern Minnesota city

1095
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:22.360
of Duluth on July eighteenth. His owners presumed that he

1096
01:04:22.400 --> 01:04:25.000
went to check out the construction underway in their neighborhood.

1097
01:04:25.039 --> 01:04:27.239
At some point. I like, they're like, all right, cat

1098
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:29.760
just wanted to like see the He's really like into

1099
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:35.039
building codes. He wanted to see. Yeah. He was just

1100
01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:37.199
like he's just really interested in that kind of thing.

1101
01:04:37.519 --> 01:04:39.239
Yeah.

1102
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:42.599
The family, including their twelve year old daughter April Dressel,

1103
01:04:43.199 --> 01:04:46.280
hung up posters and searched across the city without luck.

1104
01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:49.519
They were beginning to plan a small memorial service for

1105
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:53.599
Drifter on Tuesday when neighbor kids neighbor kids came over

1106
01:04:53.639 --> 01:04:55.880
and said they heard me owing coming from a storm

1107
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:57.880
drain at the construction site.

1108
01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:00.599
Oh.

1109
01:05:00.719 --> 01:05:03.360
The family also heard him owing as they started digging

1110
01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:06.159
through the dirt and cutting through the landscape fabric.

1111
01:05:07.159 --> 01:05:11.840
Oh, they're just like they're just messing up the construction site. Huh.

1112
01:05:11.960 --> 01:05:13.639
Oh, So you're saying, if it was your cat, you'd

1113
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:16.039
just be like, I'll uh, I'll get around to it.

1114
01:05:16.400 --> 01:05:18.719
No, I'd be like, I guess I have to call

1115
01:05:18.719 --> 01:05:19.559
these people.

1116
01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:22.960
And what if it's Saturday, what if it's Saturday.

1117
01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:25.480
I guess I'll just have to call these people and

1118
01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:26.719
ask them if it's.

1119
01:05:26.599 --> 01:05:29.119
Okay on Monday.

1120
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:32.119
No, I'll call him and I'll leave a message and

1121
01:05:32.440 --> 01:05:34.119
to take it back to me on Monday.

1122
01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:36.760
And I'm like, oh god, it's some insane woman talking

1123
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:39.559
about a cat. I don't know what's going on. Let's

1124
01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:44.840
ignore this for fun, okay now? Uh. A neighbor Dahlia

1125
01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:50.519
Boberg sixteen captured the reunion on video. Drifter Nezath is

1126
01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:53.880
scene exclaiming as he lifts the cat high while neighbors

1127
01:05:53.880 --> 01:05:58.519
who are gathered around laugh with delight and amazement. Quote,

1128
01:05:58.639 --> 01:06:04.559
he's been under there the whole He's really skinny. Drifter

1129
01:06:04.719 --> 01:06:08.400
was still wearing his collar, confirming his identity and is

1130
01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:11.000
why this story isn't on Reddit. Now. I didn't say that,

1131
01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:14.960
but that's true. When he went missing, he weighed fifteen pounds.

1132
01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:17.840
After his sojourn in the underworld, he weighed six and

1133
01:06:17.840 --> 01:06:20.920
a half pounds, about eight and a half pounds less.

1134
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:24.480
Oh my god, that's a lot now depending on how

1135
01:06:24.599 --> 01:06:26.480
big of a cat he was, But that's still a

1136
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:29.480
big loss. I mean, it's just but I definitely some

1137
01:06:29.639 --> 01:06:32.440
cats are really small, so maybe he had like a

1138
01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:33.519
good amount of weight on him.

1139
01:06:33.559 --> 01:06:37.000
Maybe not, I would think that that's still too small.

1140
01:06:37.079 --> 01:06:39.199
Oh no, no, I agree, No, No, I'm just saying

1141
01:06:39.199 --> 01:06:41.079
like it's just that, you know, if he was already

1142
01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:45.039
a very big cat, like if fifteen pounds wasn't that much, Yeah,

1143
01:06:45.079 --> 01:06:47.000
then it would be even more concerning. That was all

1144
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:50.440
I was getting at. So no, it's still like shocking.

1145
01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:53.239
The poor thing survived being down there for all that

1146
01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:56.559
time and lost more than half its body weight. That's

1147
01:06:56.599 --> 01:07:01.159
not ideal. So Nessith and Coms doc guessed that Drifter

1148
01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:04.039
explored a hole that got sealed up with him inside,

1149
01:07:04.320 --> 01:07:06.840
and that he had been living underground, eating and drinking

1150
01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:10.119
whatever he could find, perhaps mice and sewer water.

1151
01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:14.119
Well, it's it's probably not the sewer, but still.

1152
01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:18.679
It's a drainage ye completely.

1153
01:07:18.719 --> 01:07:21.079
Well, I mean they said that they've all they've been

1154
01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:23.599
alternating back and forth, but it's definitely like a like

1155
01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:24.760
a drainage thing.

1156
01:07:25.639 --> 01:07:28.800
Yeah. Probably. So April had gone out for a walk

1157
01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:31.559
that morning and called out Drifter's name, and they think

1158
01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:34.239
the cat heard the calls through the sewer pipes and

1159
01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:37.000
went to a spot where he could be found. Now,

1160
01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:40.039
knowing cats the way I do. Part of me thinks that.

1161
01:07:40.079 --> 01:07:42.119
He was like, I don't want to be found. Humans

1162
01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:44.840
are stupid. And then after like eight weeks, he was like,

1163
01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:50.199
all right, I'm starving to death. That's name. Rely, cats

1164
01:07:50.199 --> 01:07:52.559
are so stubborn. I just imagine the cat was like, no,

1165
01:07:52.679 --> 01:07:55.880
screw you. Actually, I'm getting pretty hungry. I'm not doing

1166
01:07:56.000 --> 01:08:00.280
so good. Now it's better because I'm in check charge.

1167
01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:03.480
Yeah, I can eat whatever I want, which is not

1168
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:04.199
very much.

1169
01:08:06.119 --> 01:08:13.159
Yeah. Cats Man Drifter spent the night cuddling with April

1170
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:15.719
on her bed. He's putting weight back on now and

1171
01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:17.960
his vet expects a full recovery.

1172
01:08:18.520 --> 01:08:18.840
Good.

1173

That's good. He's a foodie if a cat ever was

1174
01:08:23.199 --> 01:08:25.800
Nesath said, we're trying to give him fluids, and he

1175
01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:30.479
wants to eat the syringe. Ca It's just like, gimme that, now,

1176
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:33.840

1177
01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:37.600
Drifter after finding him while on vacation in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

1178
01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:42.479
They chose to They chose the name for his independent personality. Hmm,

1179
01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:46.840
I mean, when you're right, you're right.

1180
01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:55.760
I guess. Yeah. Lucky though, Yeah, I wish I could

1181
01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:58.640
be in a storm drain we could.

1182
01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:01.079
Put you in a storm drain you could be penny

1183
01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:05.760
wise yay, yeah, you know, just offering kids balloons.

1184
01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:07.199
That would be so much fun.

1185
01:09:09.239 --> 01:09:14.359
I mean sounds fun. Yeah, I'll make that happen for you.

1186
01:09:14.600 --> 01:09:16.960
Okay, thank you.

1187
01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:17.920
Now what are you afraid of?

1188
01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:20.399
Oh, I'm afraid the one that when it rains that

1189
01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:22.560
I'll I'll drown or something.

1190
01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:25.079
I mean, that is a risk you would have to take.

1191
01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:27.439
Yes, I'll have to like come up with a way

1192
01:09:27.479 --> 01:09:28.279
to not drown.

1193
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:31.399
I mean that would probably be prudent.

1194
01:09:32.479 --> 01:09:34.159
Okay, I'll get on it.

1195
01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:38.680
I mean, you know, I look forward to visiting you.

1196
01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:41.439
Yay, thank you.

every time I see you, because I'll like look through

1199
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:48.039

01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:05.039

oh well that's uh, that's the life you chose, So

1204
01:10:08.880 --> 01:10:13.079
that's the life you'll get. This next piece of spooky

1205
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:15.319
news is of course from Mirror dot co dot uk,

1206
01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:20.279
because why wouldn't it be? And this says child ghosts

1207
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:24.560
caught on camera terrorizing tour group at most haunted mansion.

1208
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:27.039
It's in quotes.

1209
01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:31.239
There's like all that alliteration in that title.

1210
01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:35.279
A child ghosts caught on camera terrorizing tour groups at

1211
01:10:35.319 --> 01:10:40.439
most Yeah, it's it's like a song lyric. Yeah wow uh.

1212
01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:43.680
Childlike ghosts have been caught on camera at a property

1213
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:46.159
said to be one of America's most haunted. An image

1214
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:47.880
of one of the supposed ghosts has been doing the

1215
01:10:47.960 --> 01:10:50.960
rounds on X formerly Twitter this week, but was first

1216
01:10:51.000 --> 01:10:55.159
shared on Facebook by the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana, United States,

1217
01:10:55.159 --> 01:10:58.560
back in twenty twenty three. The snap shows a tour

1218
01:10:58.600 --> 01:11:01.840
group being taken around the eight century home alongside what

1219
01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:04.720
appears to be the faint figure of a young girl

1220
01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:08.039
in old clothes in the bottom right. The Myrtles wrote

1221
01:11:08.039 --> 01:11:10.800
with the picture quote, looks like somebody wanted to tag

1222
01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:13.520
along on this recent tour of the Myrtles. Could this

1223
01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:15.399
be one of the wood Drift children?

1224
01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:17.760
Oh maybe.

1225
01:11:19.079 --> 01:11:22.039
I'm gonna show you the picture. It looks like photoshop

1226
01:11:22.119 --> 01:11:22.960
to me entirely.

1227
01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:26.119
Oh it does kind yeah real?

1228
01:11:26.319 --> 01:11:28.439
Or oh no, no, it could be a kid running

1229
01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:33.239
by like a kid, because there's blurriness on either side.

1230
01:11:33.439 --> 01:11:35.239
It's a very blurry photo entirely.

1231
01:11:35.439 --> 01:11:38.600
Yeah, I guess it could be a kid running it.

1232
01:11:38.920 --> 01:11:39.359
I don't know.

1233
01:11:40.039 --> 01:11:45.560
It's very clearly a child. I guess, a very blurry,

1234
01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:47.640
somewhat transparent child.

1235
01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:51.800
It's very it's a very short person, that's for sure.

1236
01:11:52.399 --> 01:11:59.720
Yes, without a doubt. Oh ghosts uh clark Wood Drift

1237
01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:02.600
and why if Sarah were running the plantation from eighteen

1238
01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:05.960
seventeen onwards. The couple had three children, two of whom

1239
01:12:06.079 --> 01:12:08.800
died of yellow fever. They are just two of the

1240
01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:11.960
spirits that are said to haunt the Myrtle's Plantation. Another

1241
01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:15.000
is that of a slave named Chloe, who legend dictates

1242
01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:18.600
was hanged at the property, despite there being no historical

1243
01:12:18.720 --> 01:12:23.600
record of Chloe. The Myrtle's Plantation is now listed on

1244
01:12:23.640 --> 01:12:26.479
the National Register of Historic Places in the United States.

1245
01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:29.119
It claims to be quote one of America's most haunted

1246
01:12:29.119 --> 01:12:35.319
homes and boasts a restaurant and hotel. And just last week, right,

1247
01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:39.600
it's definitely not a promotional tool at all. No, no, no,

1248
01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:43.720
And just last week it's Facebook shape page shared another

1249
01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:47.960
image of a purported ghost so and this one also

1250
01:12:48.039 --> 01:12:52.600
looks like either photoshop or somebody moving really fast.

1251
01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:55.680
Yeah, it's interesting that they're kind of the same type

1252
01:12:55.680 --> 01:12:57.239
of image.

1253
01:12:57.680 --> 01:13:02.159
Yeah, I wonder if in context that they're just like

1254
01:13:02.199 --> 01:13:04.840
they like to have fun and they're not. They're just saying, like,

1255
01:13:04.880 --> 01:13:07.600
look at this picture. That looks kind of weird. Haha.

1256
01:13:07.640 --> 01:13:10.319
Probably the ghosts come and eat at a restaurant. Food's good.

1257
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:13.079
I don't know. But uh, because on Mirror dot Code

1258
01:13:13.079 --> 01:13:17.079
at UK anything is played dead serious, especially if it's

1259
01:13:17.079 --> 01:13:21.359
painfully stupid. The post read quote it's been a minute

1260
01:13:21.359 --> 01:13:23.680
since we've shared a quote ghost photo. Oh they put

1261
01:13:23.720 --> 01:13:27.880
ghost photo in quotes on their own thing, okay, like

1262
01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:30.760
on their own posts they put in quotes. Okay, but

1263
01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:34.119
don't worry, they're still here again. The snap appears to

1264
01:13:34.119 --> 01:13:36.279
show a tour group being shown around the property, and

1265
01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:38.159
this one, the ghostly outline of a woman can be

1266
01:13:38.199 --> 01:13:41.920
seen peering over someone's shoulder in the mirror. Yeah. I

1267
01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:43.800
think that they're just playing for fun. I don't think

1268
01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:46.159
they're they're being serious about They even put ghost in

1269
01:13:46.239 --> 01:13:47.279
quotes on their own post.

1270
01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:51.680
Maybe that's maybe they're just they don't understand what that means.

1271
01:13:52.119 --> 01:13:52.920
That's possible.

1272
01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:54.880
Yeah.

1273
01:13:54.920 --> 01:13:58.079
Reacting in the comments section, one Facebook user wrote, quote,

1274
01:13:58.159 --> 01:14:00.159
I read a book about the Myrtles Mansion and have

1275
01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:03.439
been obsessed ever since, from the plantation to the house.

1276
01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:09.479
Some really disturbing things have happened there, like the minnestrone soup.

1277
01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:14.439
Be careful. Quote. I had a few experiences on one

1278
01:14:14.439 --> 01:14:17.159
of the haunted tours we took. Another said, again sharing

1279
01:14:17.199 --> 01:14:20.800
their own experience. A third that was the quote, I

1280
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:23.560
had a few experiences one of the haunted tours we took. Okay,

1281
01:14:24.880 --> 01:14:27.439
a third said quote went one day in August, it

1282
01:14:27.439 --> 01:14:30.439
was about ninety five degrees outside with one hundred percent humidity.

1283
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:32.840
While walking the property in the middle of a large

1284
01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:35.000
area with no trees, all of a sudden, the temperature

1285
01:14:35.039 --> 01:14:40.279
dropped about fifty degrees in a small area, and yeah, fifty.

1286
01:14:41.399 --> 01:14:43.079
He had a thermometer with him, so we know.

1287
01:14:43.319 --> 01:14:44.279
Yeah.

1288
01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:47.239
Could not explain this as there were no objects nearby

1289
01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:51.239
to account for the temperature drop, like a giant outdoor

1290
01:14:51.279 --> 01:14:56.479
air conditioner. I guess, yeah, yeah, that's yeah, that's the ticket.

1291
01:14:57.720 --> 01:15:01.640
So yeah, so that plantation or go there. I bet

1292
01:15:02.119 --> 01:15:05.079
the try the veal. It's probably really good. So we're

1293
01:15:05.079 --> 01:15:06.720
gonna take a quick break and we'll be back with

1294
01:15:06.760 --> 01:15:19.359
another animal related story after this shell. This next story

1295
01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:27.159
has it all. It has mystery, intrigue, spies, and it's

1296
01:15:27.159 --> 01:15:34.399
from NPR. WHOA okay, yeah, The headline reads, beloved Russian

1297
01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:41.760
spy whale Vladimir is found dead under mysterious circumstances. Fuck right,

1298
01:15:41.880 --> 01:15:46.479
that's what I said. And I like this Vladimir because

1299
01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:47.840
he has an H in front of his name that

1300
01:15:47.880 --> 01:15:52.479
you don't pronounce, just like me. There he is catching

1301
01:15:52.479 --> 01:16:00.640
a fish in his mouth. Ah yeah, I mean, you know,

1302
01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:03.239
you live by the sword, you know.

1303
01:16:04.279 --> 01:16:05.960
Is that a beluga or something?

1304
01:16:07.199 --> 01:16:11.239
I think? So we'll find out more. Vladimir, a beloved

1305
01:16:11.279 --> 01:16:13.840
whale believed to have escaped a past life as a

1306
01:16:13.880 --> 01:16:16.279
Russian spy, was found dead over the weekend and what

1307
01:16:16.359 --> 01:16:23.359
animal rights organizations say were unnatural circumstances. Oh no, the beluga.

1308
01:16:23.399 --> 01:16:28.159
There you go. Yay, whose name combines the Norwegian word

1309
01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:31.960
for whale, haveal and the Russian president. Vladimir Putin's first

1310
01:16:32.039 --> 01:16:36.000
name rose to international prominence after he was discovered by

1311
01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:39.359
fishermen off the coast of Norway in twenty nineteen wearing

1312
01:16:39.399 --> 01:16:47.279
a camera harness that read equipment Saint Petersburg okay wow.

1313
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:52.720
Theories about his mysterious past sparked headlines and intrigue, but

1314
01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:56.039
it was his friendly demeanor that won him scores of admirers.

1315
01:16:56.079 --> 01:17:01.640
In the years that followed, Vladimir worked his way along

1316
01:17:01.680 --> 01:17:05.319
the Norwegian coast, frequenting fish farms and actively seeking out

1317
01:17:05.399 --> 01:17:09.319
human interaction in the process. He was quote very interested

1318
01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:12.560
in people and responded to hand signals. According to the

1319
01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:14.039
nonprofit Marine.

1320
01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:17.560
Mind, huh what kind of handsignals?

1321
01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:21.359
That's what I want to know. The gentle giant, who

1322
01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:25.479
measured some thirteen feet long and weighed about two thousand pounds,

1323
01:17:25.560 --> 01:17:29.600
even went viral several times for retrieving a kayaker's dropped

1324
01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:32.760
go pro camera, playing fetch with a rugby ball, and

1325
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:39.039
playing with an underwater drone. But Vladimir's encounters with people

1326
01:17:39.279 --> 01:17:43.199
weren't always positive. He bore scars from being hit by

1327
01:17:43.279 --> 01:17:46.680
multiple boats, and experts warned that he faced lower odds

1328
01:17:46.680 --> 01:17:51.359
of survival as a quote solitary, sociable individual like you,

1329
01:17:55.359 --> 01:17:58.720
I mean me, when was the last time you got

1330
01:17:58.800 --> 01:17:59.399
hit by a boat?

1331
01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:03.039
Though I don't know, I am just like not in

1332
01:18:03.079 --> 01:18:05.199
the water that much. But the last time I was

1333
01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:06.640
in the water, they.

1334
01:18:06.600 --> 01:18:07.640
Hit you with a boat. Yeah.

1335
01:18:07.720 --> 01:18:08.920
Yeah, and they always hit me.

1336
01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:14.119
With the boat. Concerns grew when he was spotted last

1337
01:18:14.199 --> 01:18:17.119
year in Sweden. I'm assuming off the coast of Sweden,

1338
01:18:17.159 --> 01:18:19.239
and not just like in a restaurant or something we

1339
01:18:19.359 --> 01:18:25.119
don't say, which has more people and fewer fish than Norway.

1340
01:18:27.520 --> 01:18:34.600
Vladimir's case inspired the work of at least two nonprofits

1341
01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:40.720
dedicated to marine conservation and Vladimir's protection. Specifically, One Whale,

1342
01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:45.239
founded in twenty nineteen, advocated for Vladimir. For Vladimir's protection

1343
01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:48.239
from tourism and other dangers.

1344
01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:51.920
Nobody ever makes a thing for me to protect me.

1345
01:18:53.000 --> 01:18:55.119
I've tried. You're just difficult.

1346
01:18:55.600 --> 01:18:55.880
I know.

1347
01:18:57.319 --> 01:18:59.640
Remember when I got you that collar that alerted me

1348
01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:00.960
when people got too close.

1349
01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:05.720
Yeah, but it like I didn't ever use it.

1350
01:19:06.720 --> 01:19:07.800
You chewed it off.

1351
01:19:09.279 --> 01:19:10.920
I didn't want to bother you.

1352
01:19:12.119 --> 01:19:14.880
It has a class. Why did you chew it when

1353
01:19:14.880 --> 01:19:16.239
you could have just taken it off?

1354
01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:18.720
I just I don't know.

1355
01:19:20.359 --> 01:19:23.000
Just see, this is what I put up with everybody.

1356
01:19:24.279 --> 01:19:27.920
Other marine biologists concerned about the impact of relocating the

1357
01:19:27.920 --> 01:19:31.600
whale formed Marine Mind, which tracked Vladimir's movements, but also

1358
01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:36.239
focuses on raising awareness about marine species more broadly, and

1359
01:19:36.279 --> 01:19:39.520
PR has reached out to both organizations for comment with

1360
01:19:39.600 --> 01:19:42.800
the permission of Norway's government. One Whale was actively working

1361
01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:46.920
to relocate Vladimir to a wild beluga population in the Arctic,

1362
01:19:47.159 --> 01:19:52.039
where belugas are normally found. The organization recently announced plans

1363
01:19:52.079 --> 01:19:54.800
to transport him in the coming weeks. Yeah. By announcing

1364
01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:57.319
that publicly, you put him back on Russia's radar. The

1365
01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:01.520
whale cannot leave. He knows too much.

1366
01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:05.000
Yeah, he's gonna go tell the other belugas.

1367
01:20:05.840 --> 01:20:09.399
But hopes of Vladimir's safety were dashed on Saturday and

1368
01:20:09.439 --> 01:20:11.520
when he was found dead in what One Whale called

1369
01:20:11.560 --> 01:20:16.920
the heavily trafficked waters just outside of Stavinger, Norway. Quote

1370
01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:19.680
this morning, after receiving a sighting report from a local,

1371
01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:23.159
our team arrived to find Vladimir floating peacefully in the water.

1372
01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:27.399
Marine Mine announced on Instagram. It is not immediately clear

1373
01:20:27.439 --> 01:20:31.880
what caused his death. A necropsy will be conducted to

1374
01:20:31.960 --> 01:20:36.159
determine his early passing. Vladimir was believed to be between

1375
01:20:36.159 --> 01:20:39.359
fourteen and fifteen years old when he died. The average

1376
01:20:39.399 --> 01:20:41.680
lifespan of a beluga whale is upwards of.

1377
01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:44.600
Thirty Okay, so he was like middle aged.

1378
01:20:45.119 --> 01:20:47.279
Yeah, he's just like us.

1379
01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:49.680
Yeah, just like us.

1380
01:20:50.640 --> 01:20:54.479
The Norwegian Veterinary Institute will conduct the necropsy and autopsy

1381
01:20:54.520 --> 01:20:58.079
for animals and release the results in two or three weeks,

1382
01:20:58.119 --> 01:21:01.359
The Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries said in a statement to people.

1383
01:21:02.039 --> 01:21:06.880
In the meantime, theories and tributes are flooding social media.

1384
01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:12.439
So that's pretty that's a pretty big bummer. Yeah, but

1385
01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:17.039
many questions remain about Vladimir's life as well as his death.

1386
01:21:17.399 --> 01:21:20.319
One Whale said in its announcement that it suspects Vladimir's

1387
01:21:20.319 --> 01:21:23.439
passing was not a natural death. In a series of

1388
01:21:23.479 --> 01:21:27.439
video messages later posted to Instagram, founder Regina Hogg referenced

1389
01:21:27.520 --> 01:21:31.279
quote holes pouring with blood from his body and said

1390
01:21:31.319 --> 01:21:33.600
that that out of it. Why are you laughing? This

1391
01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:34.319
is not funny.

1392
01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:38.800
I'll tell you in a minute when you finished talking.

1393
01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:43.119
That's terrible. Said that out of the team of out

1394
01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:45.560
of a team of marine biologists and veterinarians who had

1395
01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:48.560
looked at pictures of Vladimir's injuries, quote, not one of

1396
01:21:48.600 --> 01:21:52.720
them believe that Vladimir died of natural causes. Quote. We

1397
01:21:52.760 --> 01:21:55.039
got to visit Vladimir today ourselves and see him and

1398
01:21:55.039 --> 01:21:57.399
say goodbye, and there was no question that he was

1399
01:21:57.479 --> 01:22:01.319
dying from something very unnatural. In heartbreaking, she said tearfully,

1400
01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:04.600
before casting blame on those who worked quote to block

1401
01:22:04.680 --> 01:22:08.560
his move and spread misinformation about the extent of his injuries.

1402
01:22:09.319 --> 01:22:14.079
Huh Sebastian Strand, the founder of Marine Mind, told AFP

1403
01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:19.479
that there were no visible invisible injuries on Vladimir's body.

1404
01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:23.520
Strand also told the scuba diving publication diver Net that quote,

1405
01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:26.359
we would prefer not to talk about human rifts in

1406
01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:29.760
a time of mourning Vladimir, adding that quote people had

1407
01:22:29.800 --> 01:22:37.399
different ideas about how to best safeguard him for now. Quote,

1408
01:22:37.399 --> 01:22:40.479
for now, we worked toward a final dignity of making

1409
01:22:40.520 --> 01:22:43.239
sure he has kept well and examined so his death

1410
01:22:43.279 --> 01:22:47.520
will not be a mystery, he added. This is getting weirder.

1411
01:22:48.359 --> 01:22:51.640
While authorities work to answer questions about Vladimir's death, it's

1412
01:22:51.800 --> 01:22:54.399
likely much about his early life will remain a mystery.

1413
01:22:54.640 --> 01:22:57.800
It is widely believed that he escaped captivity in Russian waters,

1414
01:22:58.079 --> 01:23:00.680
many pointing to the label on his camera harness and

1415
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:05.479
his responsiveness to humans, believing he was involved in espionage.

1416
01:23:06.800 --> 01:23:10.000
The Russian Navy has been known to use marine mammals

1417
01:23:10.039 --> 01:23:14.039
like whales and dolphins for intelligence purposes, like the United

1418
01:23:14.079 --> 01:23:17.399
States has a history of similar programs, though the Kremlin

1419
01:23:17.439 --> 01:23:19.760
has never commented publicly on Vladimir.

1420
01:23:19.800 --> 01:23:21.800
Oh yeah, they're gonna be like, oh no, he's he's ours.

1421
01:23:21.800 --> 01:23:22.239
It's fine.

1422
01:23:22.640 --> 01:23:26.039
Well, that's just like a oh gosh, what is that

1423
01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:30.279
show and movie where it's like they if you're captured,

1424
01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:37.199
we will, we will divest all knowledge of your actions.

1425
01:23:36.720 --> 01:23:40.680
Others theorize he was a missing Russian therapy whale named

1426
01:23:40.720 --> 01:23:44.279
Semon who lived in an enclosure and sometimes performed for

1427
01:23:44.399 --> 01:23:48.640
children with disabilities. That sounds like Russian propaganda. That's agit prop.

1428
01:23:48.800 --> 01:23:52.399
I don't believe that. What certain is that Vladimir's playfulness

1429
01:23:52.399 --> 01:23:56.720
and resilience both amused and inspired. Many environmental groups say

1430
01:23:56.720 --> 01:23:58.920
his story shed a light on the plight of beluga

1431
01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:03.199
whales and by tension, other marine species struggling to survive.

1432
01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:07.239
Marine Mind credits Vladimir with touching tens of thousands of

1433
01:24:07.279 --> 01:24:09.840
lives over the last five years and bridging quote the

1434
01:24:09.920 --> 01:24:13.159
gap between humans and wild animals in a way that

1435
01:24:13.319 --> 01:24:16.760
very few can. His presence taught us about the importance

1436
01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:20.199
of ocean conservation, and in doing so, he also taught

1437
01:24:20.279 --> 01:24:22.640
us more about ourselves.

1438
01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:25.680
Yay, okay, So why was I laughing.

1439
01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:26.680
Because you have a heart?

1440
01:24:26.760 --> 01:24:30.279
No heart, No, No, it wasn't because that it was.

1441
01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:34.560
I mean, I don't but but every time we were

1442
01:24:34.600 --> 01:24:37.439
talking about the organization one Whale, and every time you

1443
01:24:37.479 --> 01:24:40.359
said one whale said, I just thought you were talking

1444
01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:42.640
about a whale, And I was like trying to figure out,

1445
01:24:43.159 --> 01:24:48.199
like why the article would say this whale said.

1446
01:24:49.159 --> 01:24:52.560
I have an update though, that is funny. Actually update though,

1447
01:24:52.760 --> 01:24:56.800
International Marine Mammal Project published a statement in September. On

1448
01:24:56.840 --> 01:25:04.159
September eleventh, saying Vladimir had been shot. Oh one whale

1449
01:25:04.239 --> 01:25:08.600
circulated there you go, circulated photographs of Vladimir's body showing

1450
01:25:08.680 --> 01:25:11.960
some round, some round, bloody holes.

1451
01:25:12.640 --> 01:25:13.039
Wow.

1452
01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:16.920
Speculation swirled that it was something else, but yeah, apparently

1453
01:25:16.960 --> 01:25:18.920
the official report is he was shot.

1454
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:21.720
But by who Russia?

1455
01:25:22.479 --> 01:25:25.600
I mean literally, there's no other answer that makes sense.

1456
01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:29.920
There's an update as of five hours ago from MSN.

1457
01:25:32.800 --> 01:25:35.479
The whale was first spot up a Fisherman nonprofit organization.

1458
01:25:37.319 --> 01:25:43.399
Oh it's just the exact same story. Oh wow, Yeah,

1459
01:25:43.439 --> 01:25:45.399
it says the death will be determined, so this is

1460
01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:47.159
I don't know why it says that that was updated,

1461
01:25:47.239 --> 01:25:51.720
but anyway, enough teasing rest in police. Vadimir sounds like

1462
01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:53.880
you were a pretty dope beluga whale.

1463
01:25:54.319 --> 01:25:55.399
I'm sorry, dude.

1464
01:25:56.039 --> 01:25:57.279
Now I know what it feels like to be a

1465
01:25:57.279 --> 01:25:59.399
local news anchor. I just said a state I just

1466
01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:03.680
said something like that. Wow. I always like to remember

1467
01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:07.920
the height the highest days of local news, when it

1468
01:26:07.960 --> 01:26:11.760
would be like three were shot and four were killed,

1469
01:26:12.279 --> 01:26:15.359
and in other news, Thomas the silly cat and entertained

1470
01:26:15.399 --> 01:26:17.640
everybody with his bell caller, you know, and you're like

1471
01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:22.880
wow wow. And now sports, that's the other one. Ice

1472
01:26:22.960 --> 01:26:25.479
Ta used to always mention that in his writings and

1473
01:26:25.520 --> 01:26:28.079
in his music that whenever something was reported that was

1474
01:26:28.119 --> 01:26:30.840
incredibly sad, like, you know, fifteen people killed in drive

1475
01:26:30.840 --> 01:26:33.560
by shooting. Police say it was motivated by drugs, and

1476
01:26:33.600 --> 01:26:37.800
now sports, you're just like, oh, I guess that's all

1477
01:26:37.840 --> 01:26:40.680
we have to say. Yeah, But now we're going to

1478
01:26:40.760 --> 01:26:42.439
take a quick break, and when we come back, we're

1479
01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:45.760
going to do a little dive into the history of

1480
01:26:45.880 --> 01:27:00.640
Friday the thirteenth right after this? All right, Michelle, do

1481
01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:04.079
you believe in bad luck? No?

1482
01:27:04.920 --> 01:27:08.960
Sorry, no not. I mean I believe that luck can

1483
01:27:09.079 --> 01:27:11.000
be bad, but I don't believe in it is like

1484
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:15.640
a concept where you get bad luck from things.

1485
01:27:15.800 --> 01:27:18.560
So you you fearlessly break mirrors?

1486
01:27:19.439 --> 01:27:22.239
No, because I don't want to hurt myself, and also

1487
01:27:22.279 --> 01:27:24.479
I don't break things that I own on purpose.

1488
01:27:25.560 --> 01:27:26.840
You walk under ladders?

1489
01:27:27.359 --> 01:27:30.119
Yeah, yeah, actually I walked under a ladder today.

1490
01:27:34.079 --> 01:27:37.079
You do you If you spill salt, do you not

1491
01:27:37.159 --> 01:27:39.199
throw it over your shoulder? No?

1492
01:27:39.319 --> 01:27:40.560
I don't throw it over my shoulder.

1493
01:27:42.800 --> 01:27:46.960
Man. Do you open umbrellas inside only.

1494
01:27:46.720 --> 01:27:49.359
When I don't want to get wet when I go outside?

1495
01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:54.079
Well, Shelle, I'm really worried about you. Now, I didn't

1496
01:27:54.119 --> 01:27:56.279
realize that things had gotten so bad.

1497
01:27:56.920 --> 01:28:03.880
Well, I mean, you've seen my life, so.

1498
01:28:01.720 --> 01:28:03.560
Maybe you should reconsider shell.

1499
01:28:04.279 --> 01:28:06.560
Uh No, No, this is just how it is now.

1500
01:28:07.680 --> 01:28:08.640
Well, oh, oh, if.

1501
01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:10.399
I could, if I could live another way.

1502
01:28:11.159 --> 01:28:16.520
Okay, Well, we're going to talk today about Friday the thirteenth,

1503
01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:20.680
the concept of the most unlucky day on the calendar.

1504
01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:23.039
We're going to find out a little bit about the

1505
01:28:23.119 --> 01:28:26.199
history of it and how other cultures have other unlucky

1506
01:28:26.279 --> 01:28:31.359
days as well. Yeah, so let's see. First of all,

1507
01:28:31.399 --> 01:28:35.239
let's go into the unluckiness of thirteen, which is also

1508
01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:39.880
known as oh god, trisca deca phobia trisca decaphobia. Yeah,

1509
01:28:40.279 --> 01:28:43.640
which is the fear of the number thirteen. Thank goodness,

1510
01:28:43.640 --> 01:28:47.079
it's so easy to say. One source mentioned for the

1511
01:28:47.199 --> 01:28:53.560
unlucky reputation of the number thirteen is Norse myth. Oh,

1512
01:28:53.600 --> 01:28:56.359
there's a myth about twelve gods having a dinner party

1513
01:28:56.359 --> 01:28:59.840
in Valhalla. The trickster god Loki, who was not in,

1514
01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:04.920
probably because he makes a really gross ambrosia, arrived as

1515
01:29:04.920 --> 01:29:09.079
the thirteenth guest and arranged for who are I don't

1516
01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:10.840
know if that's how you say his name, the god

1517
01:29:10.880 --> 01:29:13.479
of Darkness to shoot Balder. Well, that is a rude

1518
01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:14.880
thing to do at a party.

1519
01:29:14.600 --> 01:29:15.159
Pretty mean.

1520
01:29:15.479 --> 01:29:18.920
Yeah, the god of joy and gladness. Oh wow, so

1521
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:20.760
the god of darkness. I feel like the god of

1522
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:22.840
darkness darkness might have wanted to shoot the god of

1523
01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:24.359
joy and gladness anyway.

1524
01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:25.720
Yeah.

1525
01:29:25.960 --> 01:29:30.399
Yeah, and he shot him with a missile toe tipped arrow.

1526
01:29:31.600 --> 01:29:32.079
Jeez.

1527
01:29:32.880 --> 01:29:36.760
Yeah. Balder died, triggering much suffering in the world, which

1528
01:29:36.840 --> 01:29:40.399
caused the number thirteen to be considered unlucky.

1529
01:29:41.359 --> 01:29:41.680
Okay.

1530
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:46.159
Another idea of where it came from is a superstition

1531
01:29:46.239 --> 01:29:50.640
related to Christianity, such or several of them, such as

1532
01:29:50.680 --> 01:29:54.119
the story of Jesus's Last Supper and Crucifixion, in which

1533
01:29:54.319 --> 01:29:57.439
there were thirteen individuals present in the upper room on

1534
01:29:57.479 --> 01:30:01.239
the thirteenth of Nissan Mandi Thursday, the night before his

1535
01:30:01.319 --> 01:30:02.600
death on Good Friday.

1536
01:30:03.720 --> 01:30:05.119
Okay, fine.

1537
01:30:06.880 --> 01:30:09.239
While there is evidence of both Friday and the number

1538
01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:12.680
thirteen being considered unlucky, there is no record of the

1539
01:30:12.680 --> 01:30:16.079
two items being referred to as especially unlucky in conjunction

1540
01:30:16.399 --> 01:30:22.920
conjunction before the nineteenth century. Now, but this one's interesting.

1541
01:30:23.239 --> 01:30:26.880
Some cite the arrest of the Knight's Templar on Friday

1542
01:30:26.920 --> 01:30:31.359
October thirteenth, thirteen oh seven by officers of King Philip

1543
01:30:31.399 --> 01:30:33.960
the fourth of France as the origin of the Friday

1544
01:30:34.039 --> 01:30:39.159
the thirteenth superstition, but it has been agreed that the

1545
01:30:39.199 --> 01:30:44.439
origins remain relatively murky. Okay. I think anytime you go

1546
01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:47.159
back to the Knight's Templar, like that's just dope.

1547
01:30:47.399 --> 01:30:49.000
Yeah, yeah.

1548
01:30:49.039 --> 01:30:51.680
Do you ever see the Tombs of the Blind Dead? No,

1549
01:30:52.560 --> 01:30:55.039
it's a horror movie where the knights Templar rise from

1550
01:30:55.039 --> 01:30:57.840
the grave to continue their work, but their eyeballs were

1551
01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:02.600
burned out by hot pokers. So the way they hunt

1552
01:31:02.640 --> 01:31:04.199
you is by hearing your heartbeat.

1553
01:31:04.640 --> 01:31:05.439
Oh god.

1554
01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:07.880
Yeah. So the more scared you get, the easier they'll

1555
01:31:07.920 --> 01:31:08.319
find you.

1556
01:31:08.640 --> 01:31:11.119
Yeah. So the best thing to do is die and

1557
01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:11.760
then they want.

1558
01:31:11.720 --> 01:31:17.880
That's what they want. Yeah, give them what they want. Yeah.

1559
01:31:17.960 --> 01:31:21.079
In France, Friday the thirteenth might have been associated with

1560
01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:25.039
misfortune as early as the first half of the nineteenth century.

1561
01:31:25.479 --> 01:31:28.640
A character in the eighteen thirty four play Les Finesse

1562
01:31:28.680 --> 01:31:32.439
de Grebories states, quote, I was born on a Friday,

1563
01:31:32.479 --> 01:31:37.079
December thirteenth, eighteen thirteen, from which come all of my misfortunes.

1564
01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:42.920
An early documented reference in English occurs in HS Edwards

1565
01:31:42.920 --> 01:31:47.920
biography of Giacchino Rossini, who died on Friday the thirteenth

1566
01:31:47.960 --> 01:31:51.600
of November eighteen sixty eight. Quote, Rosini was surrounded to

1567
01:31:51.640 --> 01:31:55.600
the last by admiring friends. And if it be true that,

1568
01:31:55.840 --> 01:31:58.760
like so many Italians, he regarded Fridays as an unlucky

1569
01:31:58.840 --> 01:32:02.479
day and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable

1570
01:32:02.520 --> 01:32:05.840
that on Friday the thirteenth of November. He passed away.

1571
01:32:09.279 --> 01:32:10.039
Unremarkable.

1572
01:32:10.800 --> 01:32:14.760
What I'm finding weird is that Friday was considered unlucky

1573
01:32:14.800 --> 01:32:16.880
for a long time. In thirteen was considered unlucky for

1574
01:32:16.920 --> 01:32:19.079
a long time. And meanwhile, we almost always have at

1575
01:32:19.119 --> 01:32:23.319
least one Friday the thirteenth every year, and nobody thought

1576
01:32:23.680 --> 01:32:25.600
earlier to like slap those together.

1577
01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:30.479
Yeah, you think it would make it doubly unlucky.

1578
01:32:30.119 --> 01:32:34.279
But you'd think it is possible that the publication in

1579
01:32:34.359 --> 01:32:37.840
nineteen oh seven of tw Lawson's popular novel Friday the

1580
01:32:37.920 --> 01:32:42.680
Thirteenth contributed to the popularization of the superstition. In the novel,

1581
01:32:42.720 --> 01:32:46.479
an unscrupulous broker takes advantage of the superstition to create

1582
01:32:46.479 --> 01:32:49.359
a Wall Street panic on a Friday the thirteenth. I'd

1583
01:32:49.359 --> 01:32:54.479
never heard of that book before. Interesting, but here are

1584
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:58.840
some similar dates that are prevalent in other cultures. Tuesday

1585
01:32:58.880 --> 01:33:04.279
the thirteenth in his Spanic and Greek culture. In Hispanic countries,

1586
01:33:04.319 --> 01:33:08.000
instead of Friday, Tuesday the thirteenth or Marte Trece Trees

1587
01:33:09.000 --> 01:33:12.079
is considered a day of bad luck. The Greeks also

1588
01:33:12.119 --> 01:33:16.600
considered Tuesday and especially the thirteenth, and unlucky day. Tuesday

1589
01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:19.079
makes more sense as an unlucky day to me than Friday.

1590
01:33:19.119 --> 01:33:21.079
Friday is like if you have a normal job, it's

1591
01:33:21.119 --> 01:33:25.640
like your the weekend's about to start, unless you're me,

1592
01:33:25.680 --> 01:33:30.640
in which case you just keep working. But like, Tuesday

1593
01:33:30.680 --> 01:33:32.800
to me seems unlucky because you're not even halfway through

1594
01:33:32.880 --> 01:33:33.199
the week.

1595
01:33:34.119 --> 01:33:35.640
I like Tuesdays.

1596
01:33:36.199 --> 01:33:38.239
I die well. I do too. Actually, I record most

1597
01:33:38.239 --> 01:33:43.479
of my podcasts on Tuesdays, but so much work every day.

1598
01:33:44.760 --> 01:33:47.760
Tuesday is considered dominated by the influence of Aris, the

1599
01:33:47.800 --> 01:33:51.359
god of war, or Mars, the Roman equivalent. The fall

1600
01:33:51.399 --> 01:33:54.479
of Constantinople to the Fourth Crusade occurred on Tuesday, the

1601
01:33:54.520 --> 01:33:58.359
thirteenth of April twelve oh four, and the fall of

1602
01:33:58.399 --> 01:34:02.520
Constantinople to the Autumns happened on Tuesday twenty ninth, fourteen

1603
01:34:02.640 --> 01:34:07.159
fifty three, events that strengthen the superstition about Tuesday. In addition,

1604
01:34:07.319 --> 01:34:10.319
in Greek, the name of the day is Threety, meaning

1605
01:34:10.359 --> 01:34:13.319
the third day of the week, adding weight to the

1606
01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:17.640
superstition since bad luck is said to come in threes. Okay,

1607
01:34:22.359 --> 01:34:25.479
there is a Tuesday, the thirteenth in any month that

1608
01:34:25.640 --> 01:34:32.439
begins on a Thursday, okay Friday the seventeenth in Italy.

1609
01:34:34.760 --> 01:34:38.359
In Italian popular culture, Friday the seventeenth is considered a

1610
01:34:38.439 --> 01:34:41.239
bad luck day. The origin of this belief could be

1611
01:34:41.319 --> 01:34:43.840
traced in the writing of the number seventeen in Roman

1612
01:34:43.920 --> 01:34:48.560
numerals X VIII. By shuffling the digits of the number

1613
01:34:48.600 --> 01:34:52.880
one of the number one can get the Latin X

1614
01:34:53.439 --> 01:35:00.520
or VIXI I have lived, implying death is present omen

1615
01:35:00.560 --> 01:35:04.399
of bad luck. Some Italians are way too bored, like

1616
01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:07.479
invent some more pasta sauces guys, because this is not

1617
01:35:07.600 --> 01:35:11.520
your your your most powerful move. In my opinion, I

1618
01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:15.960
liked it okay fine. In fact, in Italy, thirteen is

1619
01:35:16.039 --> 01:35:22.039
generally considered a lucky number, although some people may consider

1620
01:35:22.079 --> 01:35:27.600
thirteen unlucky number as well due to americanization. So basically,

1621
01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:31.520
the Americans they came, they get rid of Mussolini, they

1622
01:35:31.560 --> 01:35:39.279
make thirteen unlucky. The horrors of war. Yeah, oh my gosh,

1623
01:35:39.319 --> 01:35:42.840
oh this is funny. The two thousand parody film Shriek

1624
01:35:42.920 --> 01:35:44.960
If You Know What I Did Last Friday the thirteenth

1625
01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:48.479
was released in Italy with the title Shriek Hi impende

1626
01:35:48.560 --> 01:35:51.880
perverendi seventeen or Shriek do you have something to do

1627
01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:55.039
on Friday the seventeen. It sounds better in its original

1628
01:35:55.319 --> 01:36:03.319
Italian sounds. It sounds better ben social influence. According to

1629
01:36:03.359 --> 01:36:07.279
the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina,

1630
01:36:07.520 --> 01:36:10.960
and estimated twelve to twenty one million people in the

1631
01:36:11.079 --> 01:36:14.359
United States are affected by a fear of this day,

1632
01:36:15.399 --> 01:36:18.960
making it the most feared day and date in history.

1633
01:36:19.560 --> 01:36:20.159
Wow.

1634
01:36:20.600 --> 01:36:22.399
I don't know if I buy that, because tax Day

1635
01:36:22.439 --> 01:36:27.840
is a thing, but okay, some people are so paralyzed

1636
01:36:27.840 --> 01:36:31.079
by fear that they avoid their normal duties or their

1637
01:36:31.079 --> 01:36:34.920
normal routines and doing business, taking flights, or even getting

1638
01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:35.560
out of bed.

1639
01:36:36.159 --> 01:36:36.720
Wow.

1640
01:36:37.680 --> 01:36:41.079
It has been estimated that the US that that the

1641
01:36:41.199 --> 01:36:44.840
US what. It has been estimated that eight hundred to

1642
01:36:44.920 --> 01:36:47.960
nine hundred million dollars US is lost in business on

1643
01:36:48.159 --> 01:36:48.720
that day.

1644
01:36:49.399 --> 01:36:50.479
We should just get rid of it.

1645
01:36:51.199 --> 01:36:56.000
Yeah, that's like like the elevators, that's just the fourteenth floor.

1646
01:36:56.760 --> 01:36:57.439
Despite this.

1647
01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:00.560
Oh sorry, oh I was gonna say, Andy, and months

1648
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:03.000
that have a Friday thirteenth, it's just fourteen and then

1649
01:37:03.039 --> 01:37:04.800
we just add another day at the end of the month.

1650
01:37:04.840 --> 01:37:11.279
So yeah, I love the thirty second of whatever. Despite this,

1651
01:37:11.399 --> 01:37:15.920
Representatives for Both Delta Airlines and Continental Airlines have stated

1652
01:37:15.920 --> 01:37:18.880
that their airlines do not suffer any noticeable drop and

1653
01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:20.600
travel on those Fridays.

1654
01:37:20.920 --> 01:37:23.479
Maybe that's because those people really don't travel very much.

1655
01:37:23.920 --> 01:37:25.680
Yeah, they don't sound like they get out much at all.

1656
01:37:27.319 --> 01:37:31.039
In Finland, a consortium of governmental and non governmental organizations

1657
01:37:31.119 --> 01:37:33.840
led by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health Promotes

1658
01:37:34.359 --> 01:37:38.520
promotes the National Accident Day to raise awareness about automotive safety,

1659
01:37:38.680 --> 01:37:44.800
which always falls on a Friday, the thirteen. The event

1660
01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:47.359
is coordinated by the Finnish Red Cross and has been

1661
01:37:47.359 --> 01:37:54.000
held since nineteen ninety five. Yeah, rate of accidents. A

1662
01:37:54.079 --> 01:37:57.760
study of Scanland, Lubin, Scallion, and Singleton in nineteen ninety

1663
01:37:57.760 --> 01:38:02.800
three attracted attention from popular SI's literature as it concluded

1664
01:38:02.880 --> 01:38:05.960
that quote the risk of hospital admission as a result

1665
01:38:05.960 --> 01:38:09.159
of a transport accident may be increased by as much

1666
01:38:09.199 --> 01:38:13.640
as fifty two percent on the thirteenth.

1667
01:38:13.680 --> 01:38:16.079
I wonder if that's because all of the super cautious

1668
01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:19.000
people stay home and they like kind of they were

1669
01:38:19.039 --> 01:38:20.199
like the good drivers.

1670
01:38:20.960 --> 01:38:25.039
That's a really good point. However, the authors clearly state

1671
01:38:25.199 --> 01:38:28.960
that quote the numbers of admissions from accidents are too

1672
01:38:29.079 --> 01:38:31.720
small to allow meaningful analysis.

1673
01:38:32.079 --> 01:38:36.119
Oh, okay, so we're talking about it raised it. There

1674
01:38:36.119 --> 01:38:37.920
were like two people, and then it raised it like

1675
01:38:38.000 --> 01:38:39.600
one person two percent.

1676
01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:40.079
Yeah.

1677
01:38:40.279 --> 01:38:40.560
Yeah.

1678
01:38:40.560 --> 01:38:43.439
And then it also says subsequent studies have disproved any

1679
01:38:43.439 --> 01:38:47.119
correlation between Friday the thirteenth and the rate of accidents. Okay.

1680
01:38:48.359 --> 01:38:50.439
On the twelfth of June two thousand and eight, the

1681
01:38:50.560 --> 01:38:54.880
Dutch Center for Insurance Statistics stated to the contrary that quote,

1682
01:38:55.119 --> 01:38:58.319
fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when

1683
01:38:58.359 --> 01:39:01.079
the thirteenth of the month falls on Friday than on

1684
01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:05.640
other Fridays because people are preventatively more careful or just

1685
01:39:05.760 --> 01:39:09.800
stay home. Statistically speaking, no, it does make sense. Yeah,

1686
01:39:10.359 --> 01:39:14.840
statistically speaking, driving is slightly safer on Friday the thirteenth,

1687
01:39:15.079 --> 01:39:17.800
at least in the Netherlands. In the last two years,

1688
01:39:18.239 --> 01:39:21.680
Dutch insurers received reports of an average of seven eight

1689
01:39:21.760 --> 01:39:25.239
hundred traffic accidents each Friday, but the average figure when

1690
01:39:25.239 --> 01:39:27.920
the thirteenth fell on a Friday was just seven than

1691
01:39:28.119 --> 01:39:33.199
five hundred. Okay, it's not a very big difference, but no,

1692
01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:33.760
it's not.

1693
01:39:35.319 --> 01:39:35.399
So.

1694
01:39:36.079 --> 01:39:39.920
Oh and speaking of the math of days, any month

1695
01:39:40.039 --> 01:39:45.079
that starts on a Sunday contains a Friday the thirteenth. Okay,

1696
01:39:45.800 --> 01:39:48.119
So there is at least one Friday the thirteenth in

1697
01:39:48.239 --> 01:39:53.760
every calendar year, so that I did not Now I'm

1698
01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:54.960
gonna remember that forever.

1699
01:39:55.960 --> 01:39:56.319
Yeah.

1700
01:39:56.920 --> 01:39:59.560
Also, although there is always at least one Friday the

1701
01:39:59.600 --> 01:40:02.319
thirteenth per calendar year, it can be as long as

1702
01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:07.439
fourteen months between two Friday of the thirteenth. Wow, the longest. Yeah.

1703
01:40:07.840 --> 01:40:11.399
I never really think about calendars that much, do you?

1704
01:40:12.399 --> 01:40:13.399
Sometimes?

1705
01:40:14.560 --> 01:40:19.439
Fair enough? Either from let's see, either from July to

1706
01:40:19.520 --> 01:40:22.560
September the following year being a common year starting on

1707
01:40:22.600 --> 01:40:26.920
Tuesday on Tuesday, or August October the following year being

1708
01:40:26.920 --> 01:40:28.760
a leap year starting on a Saturday.

1709
01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:29.560
Okay.

1710
01:40:29.760 --> 01:40:31.680
The shortest period that occurs with a Friday of the

1711
01:40:31.720 --> 01:40:34.760
thirteenth is just one month from February to March in

1712
01:40:34.840 --> 01:40:39.199
the common year starting on a Thursday, which we'll have

1713
01:40:39.239 --> 01:40:43.640
one in twenty twenty six. Oh. Okay. On average, there

1714
01:40:43.680 --> 01:40:46.000
is a Friday of the thirteenth once every two hundred

1715
01:40:46.000 --> 01:40:50.520
and twelve point three five days, okay, and Friday the

1716
01:40:50.560 --> 01:40:53.279
thirteenths occur with an average frequency of one point seven

1717
01:40:53.359 --> 01:41:00.760
two one eight per year. Okay, cool, be no more

1718
01:41:00.800 --> 01:41:03.600
than three Friday the thirteenth in a single calendar year,

1719
01:41:03.600 --> 01:41:06.199
either February, March, and November in a common year starting

1720
01:41:06.199 --> 01:41:09.600
on Thursday, or January, April and July in a leap

1721
01:41:09.640 --> 01:41:13.119
year starting on a Sunday. Okay, I would never have

1722
01:41:13.199 --> 01:41:13.960
known these things.

1723
01:41:14.199 --> 01:41:15.920
Yeah, me too. Thanks.

1724
01:41:16.199 --> 01:41:19.359
So we learned so much from the source of all

1725
01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:22.680
information Wikipedia. So I guess what we're saying in the

1726
01:41:22.800 --> 01:41:27.079
end is Friday the thirteenth is just a regular day

1727
01:41:27.960 --> 01:41:31.439
if you're willing to risk having Michelle's life, because she

1728
01:41:31.720 --> 01:41:38.039
also doesn't believe in Friday the thirteenth. So that being said,

1729
01:41:39.079 --> 01:41:40.880
we're going to take a break and wrap things up,

1730
01:41:40.960 --> 01:41:44.319
and I'll mention how on my birthday I saw a

1731
01:41:44.359 --> 01:41:48.239
Friday the thirteenth film in the theater. All of that

1732
01:41:48.359 --> 01:41:51.800
and maybe something from Reddit that Michelle's found. After this,

1733
01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:04.920
and we are back wrapping up this pre Spooky season

1734
01:42:05.239 --> 01:42:08.439
episode of Monthly Spooky and real quick, I wanted to

1735
01:42:08.479 --> 01:42:11.119
mention I saw quite a few horror films in the

1736
01:42:11.119 --> 01:42:16.720
theater this month. I saw a Blink twice, which was

1737
01:42:16.760 --> 01:42:21.960
a very creepy and strange, kind of almost m Night

1738
01:42:22.039 --> 01:42:29.079
Shyamalan style horror film. Mystery horror film. I also saw

1739
01:42:29.239 --> 01:42:33.960
Beetlejuice Part two also known as Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which was

1740
01:42:33.960 --> 01:42:37.279
pretty good. I didn't love it, but it was fun.

1741
01:42:37.520 --> 01:42:39.800
The best part about it was while they didn't like

1742
01:42:39.840 --> 01:42:43.239
reinvent the wheel or do anything that crazy different, it

1743
01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:45.239
was cool to see all the characters again. It was

1744
01:42:45.239 --> 01:42:48.199
cool to revisit that world. It was cool to see

1745
01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:52.239
the characters kind of, you know, doing their thing. Okay,

1746
01:42:52.960 --> 01:42:55.079
So I did enjoy it. It just wasn't a great film,

1747
01:42:55.079 --> 01:42:58.880
but I had fun watching it very much. I also caught,

1748
01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:01.399
just before it left the theater a movie called Afraid,

1749
01:43:01.880 --> 01:43:04.840
but it's Afraid but with AI and capital letters because

1750
01:43:04.840 --> 01:43:08.960
it's about an AI taking over a family's life. This

1751
01:43:09.039 --> 01:43:11.119
movie did not do well in the box office. Very

1752
01:43:11.119 --> 01:43:13.199
few people went to see it. I thought it was

1753
01:43:13.239 --> 01:43:18.680
super fun and really good good so it again didn't

1754
01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:21.640
reinvent the wheel, but it was creepy and fun and

1755
01:43:21.720 --> 01:43:26.720
it kept me guessing. And the ending was so pitch black,

1756
01:43:27.720 --> 01:43:33.000
so dour and sad yay like, but like for real,

1757
01:43:33.079 --> 01:43:34.760
like when it was over, I was just like, damn

1758
01:43:35.800 --> 01:43:40.680
all right. So I really enjoyed Afraid, and now it's

1759
01:43:40.720 --> 01:43:43.600
available streaming. You can find it places you watch movies.

1760
01:43:44.760 --> 01:43:48.079
I also got to revisit Friday the Thirteenth, Part four,

1761
01:43:49.439 --> 01:43:53.159
which is the which is the oh gosh, now I

1762
01:43:53.159 --> 01:43:57.000
can't remember the name, the final Chapter, which it was not.

1763
01:43:57.159 --> 01:44:00.399
There would then be many more sequels. They went up

1764
01:44:00.439 --> 01:44:03.159
to part technically part twelve, so there were a lot

1765
01:44:03.199 --> 01:44:06.359
more movies after that, more movies than had preceded it

1766
01:44:06.560 --> 01:44:08.439
after that, but they called it the Final Chapter because

1767
01:44:08.439 --> 01:44:10.199
they thought it was gonna be the last one. They

1768
01:44:10.319 --> 01:44:13.840
was playing in the theaters a special event from Fangoria,

1769
01:44:14.319 --> 01:44:17.000
the magazine. They were showing Friday thirteenth in the theater,

1770
01:44:17.640 --> 01:44:19.840
part four. It was on my birthday, so I went

1771
01:44:19.880 --> 01:44:21.760
with a bunch of friends. Had a really good time.

1772
01:44:22.000 --> 01:44:24.039
Got to watch Crispin Glover do a weird dance and

1773
01:44:24.039 --> 01:44:26.840
then get murdered, which is always a good time when

1774
01:44:26.880 --> 01:44:31.279
you're watching Friday the Thirteenth Part four. I also want

1775
01:44:31.319 --> 01:44:34.359
to mention I saw Speak No Evil, which is kind

1776
01:44:34.399 --> 01:44:37.119
of the big horror movie in theaters right now. It's

1777
01:44:37.159 --> 01:44:40.159
based on a Danish film called Speak No Evil. I

1778
01:44:40.199 --> 01:44:41.840
have not seen the Danish film yet. I haven't had

1779
01:44:41.880 --> 01:44:44.520
time to watch much at all since the move started,

1780
01:44:44.920 --> 01:44:47.840
but it was really fun and scary. It's about a

1781
01:44:47.840 --> 01:44:50.239
family who make friends with another family while they're on

1782
01:44:50.319 --> 01:44:52.640
vacation and go to visit them in their country house

1783
01:44:52.640 --> 01:44:54.760
and realize that they are not what they seem in

1784
01:44:54.800 --> 01:45:01.279
a horrifying and devastating way. I really enjoyed that one.

1785
01:45:01.359 --> 01:45:03.840
It had John McAvoy, I think is a name in

1786
01:45:03.880 --> 01:45:07.279
it really really good. And I also want to mention

1787
01:45:07.680 --> 01:45:10.680
films that I'm looking forward to. In October. The Terrifier

1788
01:45:10.720 --> 01:45:12.079
three is coming out. I think that's going to be

1789
01:45:12.079 --> 01:45:15.079
a lot of fun. But also Netflix is releasing The

1790
01:45:15.119 --> 01:45:19.439
Platform Part two, which some may remember. The Platform was

1791
01:45:19.439 --> 01:45:23.720
a freaky Spanish horror film. Michelle's not seen it because

1792
01:45:23.800 --> 01:45:27.399
she's not worldly, but it was a very good, very

1793
01:45:28.039 --> 01:45:30.760
off putting horror film, and a sequel's coming out on

1794
01:45:30.800 --> 01:45:32.880
Netflix this month. So I just want to mention that

1795
01:45:33.319 --> 01:45:37.640
real quick. That's horror media I'm looking forward to. So

1796
01:45:38.039 --> 01:45:40.840
but it looks like Shell you've been preparing yourself. Do

1797
01:45:40.840 --> 01:45:44.119
you have something truly fascinating and wonderful that we're all

1798
01:45:44.119 --> 01:45:46.039
going to enjoy so much about? From Reddit?

1799
01:45:46.399 --> 01:45:48.159
Probably not, but I have a couple of things that

1800
01:45:48.199 --> 01:45:48.720
are okay.

1801
01:45:49.520 --> 01:45:52.359
Oh, well, I am all ears, so I was.

1802
01:45:52.479 --> 01:45:54.840
There was on ask Reddit a bunch of days ago

1803
01:45:55.359 --> 01:45:57.680
someone asked, what's the creepiest thing you've ever heard of?

1804
01:45:57.760 --> 01:45:58.079
Child?

1805
01:45:58.159 --> 01:46:01.720
Say ooh, yeah, so creepy. Not a ton of them,

1806
01:46:01.720 --> 01:46:04.760
because a lot of them weren't actually very creepy. Sure, sure,

1807
01:46:05.479 --> 01:46:08.920
but they're Let's so let's see what we got. So

1808
01:46:09.119 --> 01:46:12.800
this one person heard their kids say, I'm not scared

1809
01:46:12.800 --> 01:46:15.079
of the thing under my bed. The thing under my

1810
01:46:15.119 --> 01:46:16.119
bed is my friend.

1811
01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:20.560
It's good to make friends wherever you can.

1812
01:46:20.840 --> 01:46:23.199
The good news is eventually they like figured out that

1813
01:46:23.199 --> 01:46:27.039
they were talking about their border Collie that sometimes, Oh

1814
01:46:27.039 --> 01:46:28.119
it's actually cute.

1815
01:46:28.560 --> 01:46:31.800
That's really cute. Then I wasn't expecting that turn. That

1816
01:46:31.920 --> 01:46:32.279
was good.

1817
01:46:33.640 --> 01:46:36.560
Someone said that their nephew said said told them that

1818
01:46:36.600 --> 01:46:41.479
the basement people want her skin or their skin, which

1819
01:46:41.560 --> 01:46:42.640
is kind of upsetting.

1820
01:46:43.479 --> 01:46:45.199
I mean, I I don't I mean which part?

1821
01:46:46.239 --> 01:46:49.720
Uh, the basement people, not the skin part.

1822
01:46:49.760 --> 01:46:53.279
That's pretty normal, okay, yeah, yeah, just yeah, the basement

1823
01:46:53.319 --> 01:46:57.680
people want your skin. Oh Okay, if a kid said

1824
01:46:57.680 --> 01:46:59.119
that to me, I would get in the car and

1825
01:46:59.119 --> 01:47:00.000
I would never stop trying.

1826
01:47:00.560 --> 01:47:04.600
Yeah yeah, okay. So one of them said that their

1827
01:47:04.680 --> 01:47:08.039
son once told them, oh, you're having a baby, and

1828
01:47:08.399 --> 01:47:11.119
they had just found out that they were pregnant but

1829
01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:15.720
hadn't told anybody yet, and when asked why, he said

1830
01:47:15.720 --> 01:47:18.560
that he was like just a feeling. And then she

1831
01:47:18.680 --> 01:47:21.840
miscarried and he just randomly was like, oh, no more baby,

1832
01:47:25.119 --> 01:47:26.720
didn't say I don't know.

1833
01:47:27.640 --> 01:47:33.560
That's creepy. Yeah, that's really creepy. Yeah, end upsetting.

1834
01:47:34.239 --> 01:47:36.840
Yeah, I have one more.

1835
01:47:37.560 --> 01:47:38.279
That's okay.

1836
01:47:38.399 --> 01:47:45.359
I guess. So this person was I guess. She was

1837
01:47:45.399 --> 01:47:49.279
like driving her niece somewhere and she and her niece

1838
01:47:49.319 --> 01:47:50.680
was talking, was like in the back of the car,

1839
01:47:50.760 --> 01:47:53.439
like talking to her imaginary friends that she said were

1840
01:47:53.479 --> 01:47:55.239
a boy and a girl that were about her age

1841
01:47:55.239 --> 01:47:59.279
and their brother and sister. And they're driving and they

1842
01:47:59.640 --> 01:48:03.479
are close, and she says that they're a damn it.

1843
01:48:04.720 --> 01:48:06.920
They like come to the end of the road and

1844
01:48:06.920 --> 01:48:09.199
and she's like, this is their home? Can we drop

1845
01:48:09.239 --> 01:48:12.840
them off? And then they realized they were in front

1846
01:48:12.840 --> 01:48:16.239
of a cemetery and then she like waved and said

1847
01:48:16.239 --> 01:48:17.039
goodbye to them.

1848
01:48:19.399 --> 01:48:25.880
Oh that's wholesome. Waving is nice? Yeah, yeah, no, you know,

1849
01:48:25.920 --> 01:48:29.720
out of the mouths of babes. Yeah, So before we

1850
01:48:29.760 --> 01:48:31.680
take off shell. I want to ask you. I'm sure

1851
01:48:31.800 --> 01:48:34.399
we've talked about this before, but when it comes to

1852
01:48:34.399 --> 01:48:36.600
the Halloween season, when it comes to the fall seasons,

1853
01:48:37.079 --> 01:48:39.159
is there anything you like to watch that gets you

1854
01:48:39.199 --> 01:48:41.720
in the mood or read or anything like a movie,

1855
01:48:41.840 --> 01:48:44.760
TV episode, anything like that that really pulls you in.

1856
01:48:45.720 --> 01:48:51.760
No, really, I don't know. I wasn't prepared for this.

1857
01:48:52.840 --> 01:48:56.960
Well, so my for example, I recently got a subscription

1858
01:48:57.000 --> 01:48:59.079
to Paramount Plus on a discount, so I was watching

1859
01:48:59.119 --> 01:49:02.720
some stuff on it, and they have a good chunk

1860
01:49:02.760 --> 01:49:06.560
of the Nickelodeon content, not everything, Like I was really

1861
01:49:06.600 --> 01:49:08.760
mad they didn't have Pete and Pete, which made me livid,

1862
01:49:09.640 --> 01:49:12.399
but because I really want to watch pet and Pete.

1863
01:49:12.439 --> 01:49:16.239
But I was watching Clarissa explains it all. Yeah, and

1864
01:49:16.399 --> 01:49:19.399
one of the Halloween episodes popped up, and I was like, oh, man,

1865
01:49:19.479 --> 01:49:22.479
I remember this one. So I watched it all the

1866
01:49:22.479 --> 01:49:26.359
way through and it just reminded me of how one

1867
01:49:26.359 --> 01:49:28.840
of the most exciting times of my entire life when

1868
01:49:28.840 --> 01:49:31.920
I was a kid was that moment when everything was

1869
01:49:31.960 --> 01:49:37.479
turning spooky, when like every TV show was spooky, every

1870
01:49:37.760 --> 01:49:40.159
movie on the movie channels would be a little bit

1871
01:49:40.199 --> 01:49:43.279
more likely to be a horror movie. The decorations would

1872
01:49:43.279 --> 01:49:46.199
come out, everybody be talking about costumes, and the other

1873
01:49:46.239 --> 01:49:50.720
thing I loved was I would read my Garfield Halloween book,

1874
01:49:51.039 --> 01:49:54.479
The Garfield in Disguise or Garfield's Halloween Adventure. They renamed

1875
01:49:54.520 --> 01:49:58.199
it eventually, but I would read the Garfield book every

1876
01:49:58.600 --> 01:50:00.920
single Halloween like the mo but I felt it not

1877
01:50:01.039 --> 01:50:03.439
on Halloween night, like the moment I was like, oh man,

1878
01:50:03.479 --> 01:50:06.640
the leaves are down and Nickelodeon is showing the spooky

1879
01:50:06.920 --> 01:50:09.479
show Bumpers. I would just like sit and read it

1880
01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:13.079
all the way through because I love Garfield and Disguise.

1881
01:50:13.319 --> 01:50:14.720
So I just didn't know if there was one that

1882
01:50:14.760 --> 01:50:16.840
like really pulled you in. No.

1883
01:50:17.319 --> 01:50:21.800
I mean, I like, you know, consuming kind of you know,

1884
01:50:22.159 --> 01:50:25.640
more horror ish media in this time of the year,

1885
01:50:25.720 --> 01:50:29.239
but normally I'm looking for stuff that I haven't seen before.

1886
01:50:30.239 --> 01:50:32.399
That's good too, I mean, but I.

1887
01:50:32.359 --> 01:50:36.600
Don't really I don't know, I know, yeah, yeah, I

1888
01:50:36.640 --> 01:50:37.800
don't want to say anythmore.

1889
01:50:38.319 --> 01:50:40.640
No, I get it though. I have my like comfort

1890
01:50:40.720 --> 01:50:43.399
media and stuff, but I also really like to watch

1891
01:50:43.479 --> 01:50:48.520
new things whenever I can manage, you know, because it's

1892
01:50:48.520 --> 01:50:50.520
more fun. I mean, to get scared by something new

1893
01:50:50.600 --> 01:50:53.239
rather than something you've already seen. And also it makes

1894
01:50:53.279 --> 01:50:55.720
more sense to be scared by something new than something

1895
01:50:55.760 --> 01:50:58.279
you've already seen. For me, like the quintessential go tos

1896
01:50:58.319 --> 01:51:01.439
are like the Halloween movies because you know they set

1897
01:51:01.479 --> 01:51:07.000
on Halloween. They're very they're good, they're fun. But I

1898
01:51:07.039 --> 01:51:09.600
also like stuff like have you ever seen You Probably haven't,

1899
01:51:10.079 --> 01:51:13.760
but Needful Things the Stephen King movie Needful Things. It's

1900
01:51:13.880 --> 01:51:16.000
really good that one doesn't take place at Halloween, it's

1901
01:51:16.119 --> 01:51:19.359
just in the fall, but it like always creeps me

1902
01:51:19.399 --> 01:51:22.000
out and gets me kind of in the mood for Halloween.

1903
01:51:22.000 --> 01:51:23.960
I only discovered that like five or six years ago.

1904
01:51:25.119 --> 01:51:27.439
So I just like content that kind of makes me

1905
01:51:27.520 --> 01:51:30.800
feel the season I'm in, in particular Halloween and Christmas.

1906
01:51:31.479 --> 01:51:33.720
I love, you know, movies and TV shows that take

1907
01:51:33.760 --> 01:51:38.119
place during that time period. So I don't know, fine,

1908
01:51:38.319 --> 01:51:40.039
you you you let us all down.

1909
01:51:40.279 --> 01:51:43.279
I'm sorry. I mean I I no, I don't want

1910
01:51:43.319 --> 01:51:44.319
to so I'm done.

1911
01:51:44.279 --> 01:51:47.359
What no, no say it? No, I don't want to please.

1912
01:51:47.920 --> 01:51:54.239
Well, I'm I'm no okay. So no, So like I'm

1913
01:51:54.359 --> 01:51:58.119
just like, man, I hate being me, so anything I know,

1914
01:51:58.640 --> 01:52:01.840
I know it sucks. So because I'm doing my podcast

1915
01:52:01.960 --> 01:52:03.279
right now, because I always do my.

1916
01:52:03.239 --> 01:52:05.520
Podcast, Michelle explains anime poorly.

1917
01:52:05.840 --> 01:52:10.640
Yes, that that one, like the the anime that I'm

1918
01:52:10.640 --> 01:52:14.079
working on, that the the episodes right near Halloween take

1919
01:52:14.159 --> 01:52:18.560
place on and around Halloween. So I'm having a lot

1920
01:52:18.560 --> 01:52:21.640
of fun with that. But that's it, I don't.

1921
01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:24.079
I mean, that's good though. That's a good example though. Oh,

1922
01:52:25.359 --> 01:52:29.279
are there any any manga or animes that that really

1923
01:52:29.399 --> 01:52:34.680
like do Halloween justice to you?

1924
01:52:34.640 --> 01:52:34.680
You?

1925
01:52:35.800 --> 01:52:38.640
No? I mean that's fair. I mean it's Japanese. Yeah,

1926
01:52:38.760 --> 01:52:39.279
not really.

1927
01:52:40.000 --> 01:52:42.920
I mean there's some good horror manga, but they're not

1928
01:52:42.960 --> 01:52:43.720
really Halloween.

1929
01:52:44.399 --> 01:52:46.560
Well, recommend a couple in case somebody listening is a

1930
01:52:46.560 --> 01:52:47.159
total nerd.

1931
01:52:49.800 --> 01:52:53.720
I mean, anything anything if you want, like really like

1932
01:52:54.000 --> 01:53:00.439
basic recommendation. Anything gingi Ito is always really upsetting if

1933
01:53:00.479 --> 01:53:05.720
you want something, yeah, just kind of harry a Tokyo

1934
01:53:05.760 --> 01:53:11.279
Ghoul is good. Not the anime, the manga. What's that

1935
01:53:11.399 --> 01:53:15.600
other thing? The summer Hikadu Died is really good at Hikkati. Fuck,

1936
01:53:15.640 --> 01:53:20.079
I don't remember that one. That's really good. I don't know. Man,

1937
01:53:20.319 --> 01:53:21.680
that's that's it.

1938
01:53:22.239 --> 01:53:24.600
