A haunted doll of for sale. Someone may be living
2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:13.199
in your house. Monkeys are terrorizing Thailand, and it's time
3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.359
to beware the moon.
4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.120
Get comforted truly the life. It's Monthly Spooky.
5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:32.039
Hello, my spooky, and welcome back to Monthly Spooky. It is, yes,
6
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:37.799
indeed that time of the month, and I'm, of course
7
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.280
your host Enrique Kuto here with my good buddy and
8
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.560
co host Michelle Michelle. How are you?
9
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.799
Oh, I guess I'm okay.
10
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.679
I apologize. I said I would, I wouldn't start with
11
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.679
hard questions and here I am just terrorizing you.
12
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:53.399
Yeah?
13
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.320
Are you? Are you bothered? Because I know that right
14
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:01.920
now on your other podcast, Michelle explain anime poorly, you're
15
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.840
discussing banana fish and it's really bothering.
16
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:11.680
You apparently, I mean, according to you at least, so you.
17
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.000
Literally text me to go, like, I had a horrible
18
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.879
time trying to talk about this.
19
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.599
Oh yeah, yeah, an episode that that is that that
20
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.840
on a day that we are talking about this that
21
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.959
is releasing. It's really difficult. I actually had to I
22
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.159
recorded it and then I thought about it overnight and
23
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.359
I had to go re record a bunch of stuff.
24
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.159
So yeah, oh wow.
25
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:34.640
Yeah, it's hard.
26
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:43.079
Yeah, I mean it sounds difficult. Yeah. So, but other
27
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.120
than your podcast, which, by the way, Michelle explains anime
28
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.719
poorly available at anywhere you get your podcast. Just type
29
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:54.159
in Michelle explains anime, you'll find it. But beyond that,
30
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:59.239
you doing Okay, I guess yeah, you you. Right now,
31
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.480
we're both I'm in the Midwest and you're in Pennsylvania,
32
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.280
and we're experiencing like a taste of fall right now.
33
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:13.240
It's still summer, but we're getting like this bizarrely cool
34
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:14.919
air outside right now.
35
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:17.479
Yeah, it's been weird.
36
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.800
I went for a walk in my neighborhood the other night,
37
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.400
and I was wearing what I wore all day, which
38
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.719
was shorts and a sleeveless shirt, and I was so
39
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.479
cold after about an hour of walking, Like I didn't
40
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.240
really realize it until I went to use my phone
41
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.240
and I realized my hands were like really cold, because
42
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.039
I guess I was just I was listening to an audiobook,
43
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.120
so I was already a million miles away. But man,
44
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.560
I'm enjoying it. I do like the fall quite a bit, obviously.
45
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.439
I Mean, I've kind of dedicated my life to celebrating
46
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.280
Halloween the entire year, so or at least the last
47
00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:01.479
six years. Basically, Yeah, I don't know.
48
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.719
I mean, I I definitely like it, but I have
49
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:12.000
this like anger about having to not wear shorts. Oh yeah, yeah,
50
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.400
no I'm not, but it's this summer and I don't
51
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.280
want to, like have to wear pants. But then I'm
52
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.879
cold and I don't really know what to do.
53
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.159
So yeah, I feel like that's just kind of the
54
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.759
Michelle I know though, is like sweaters and tea.
55
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.599
No, that's nice. I don't wear sweaters that often though.
56
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.159
I mean in the winter you get cold, yeah, like
57
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.000
a small dog just shivering.
58
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:42.280
In the corner, But I don't wear sweaters. I just cry.
59
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:50.120
Fair enough. Well, this month since we last spoke has
60
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.000
been very interesting for me. I wasn't sure if I
61
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.039
wanted to talk about it at length. I don't think
62
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.080
I want to talk about it like at length, but
63
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:04.319
in incredibly long story short, it would appear that I
64
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.159
have ADHD.
65
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:07.039
No.
66
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.960
Well, the reason I even bring this up is not
67
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.560
necessarily because I feel like the audience is dying to
68
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:21.720
know about my mental health necessarily, but because apparently, you, Michelle,
69
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.279
are the only close friend I have in the world
70
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.319
who didn't say duh, like we all knew that. How
71
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.160
did you not know that? You're the only one that
72
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:31.480
was like, I don't think you do.
73
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:33.000
I don't know.
74
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.800
Of course. Then I talked to a doctor and he's like, yep, yep,
75
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.399
that's the ADHD. And then he's like, well, the real
76
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.079
way we'll know is if I give you some medicine
77
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.199
that helps ADHD, and if it helps you have ADHD.
78
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.199
So I took the medicine. I was like, wow, my
79
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.120
life is so much better within two days.
80
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:52.120
Yeah, it was fast.
81
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.800
It was crazy fast. It was so fast that I
82
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.879
would have thought it was a placebo if I weren't.
83
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.160
Like I was dealing with like such a severe lethargy
84
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.079
that I could barely get my work done for any day.
85
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.480
And I work from home, you know, I mostly podcast
86
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.199
and work on developing movies. So it's not like I
87
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.759
have to lift heavy machinery or you know, operate a
88
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.079
forklift or something. I just have to sit. I don't
89
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.199
have that, which apparently is a fate worse than death
90
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.560
for somebody with untreated ADHD.
91
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:30.600
Imagine.
92
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.959
So, but it's bizarre because I didn't think I had ADHD.
93
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.160
I had been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and occasional depression.
94
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.240
And here I am being told like, maybe it's ADHD
95
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.639
because as you get older and you are untreated, it
96
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.800
exhausts you. It makes you so tired that you become
97
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.120
depressed and anxious and worried and your mind still races.
98
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.279
But you're so tired. So what were gonna say?
99
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.000
Oh, I guess, I guess I was gonna say. I
100
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.360
have noticed in our friendship that though you know, we
101
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.920
both thought at least we had anxiety issues, your anxiety
102
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.959
is very different than my anxiety.
103
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:18.480
Yeah, so no, I agree. So, and I had some
104
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.959
pretty good coping mechanisms. Not all of them were good,
105
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.920
but I had some pretty strong coping mechanisms I felt
106
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.480
like helped me with my anxiety a lot. But boy, howdy,
107
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.560
I've been put on a medication. It's it's helping so much.
108
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:38.519
It's bizarre. Like today I was running early for the show,
109
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.480
which is like never happened. I I it's so weird.
110
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.000
I like hop out of bed. Honestly, I feel like
111
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.839
I'm like eight years younger. It just it feels like
112
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.720
a lot less because I used to jump out of
113
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.079
bed in the morning, and as time went on, I
114
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.959
got really beat down and tired and and just and just,
115
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.639
and everything became harder. Every single thing I did was harder. Yeah, so,
116
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.360
but it was just the main point is, as I
117
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:16.079
revealed this information to the people closest to me, everyone
118
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.480
thought I already knew that, or that I was already diagnosed,
119
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.480
or that I had already suspected that I had ADHD
120
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.800
because it was so obvious to them.
121
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.879
If it makes you feel better, my mom didn't think
122
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:30.839
you have ADHD.
123
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.040
Well, I mean, we've hung out, but not like at length.
124
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.800
I guess I don't know.
125
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.680
I mean, ironically, a telltale sign of ADHD is the
126
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.680
fact that, like when I'd have dinner with your family,
127
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.920
I was extremely outgoing and trying to entertain everybody. That's
128
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.360
actually like a horrible side effect of ADHD. It might
129
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.600
also just be a side effect of being goddamn charming,
130
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:02.959
if I do say so myself. Do you remember the
131
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.759
time we were having dinner, your family and I we
132
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.000
were all having dinner and somebody called me with a
133
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.839
with a political survey and I answered it in.
134
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.560
Front of you all, Yeah.
135
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.160
How do you feel about congressional voting and I decided
136
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.920
to pretend that I heard boating, So I was like,
137
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.600
I don't know, I've never had a boat. I don't
138
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.920
think i'll ever afford a boat. Hey, I'm not surprised
139
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.040
those congress people can afford boats, you know, they make
140
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.040
a lot of money. But and the guy just kept
141
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.639
trying to explain it, and I kept not understanding about purpose.
142
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.679
He ended up laughing and say, you have a good day, sir.
143
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.080
Yeah it was like it was planned.
144
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.120
Yeah, yeah, it really was.
145
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.639
Like, yeah, it was like a comedy skit, except I
146
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.200
just did that in front of everybody for funzies. So anyway,
147
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.879
but that all said, the sad and cruel irony is
148
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.679
if you've been listening to Weekly Spooky since the beginning.
149
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.080
Whenever I talk about my own life, one of the
150
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.840
things I always mentioned was that I always been a
151
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.559
very poor reader. It's very hard for me to sit
152
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.960
still and read. Turns out that is like such a
153
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.320
massive dead giveaway for ADHD And I always thought that
154
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.799
that was just me, like, oh, I just can't sit
155
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.120
still and read, that's who I am. But it turns
156
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:24.120
out that's not super normal. Yeah, I guess, like most
157
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.200
people can't read something if it's boring or if it's
158
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:32.559
not something they're interested in. I would literally be so
159
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.080
excited to get like a new horror book and then
160
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:41.240
I could just never sit and read it. Yeah, like
161
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.440
I I so, and I'm not all the way. I mean,
162
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.840
we're still experimenting with my medications. We're still experimenting with
163
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.879
all of that stuff. But boy does it feel good
164
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.639
to feel better good? It really really does so. And unfortunately,
165
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.039
or fortunately, I've been telling you about it like every
166
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.200
step of the way because I can't believe that it's
167
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:03.240
it's been better.
168
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:04.600
Yeah.
169
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.200
So with the with the level of like exhaustion and
170
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.519
anxiety I'd been dealing with, if you had told me
171
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.679
like one trip to the doctor and then one trip
172
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:15.960
to the Meyer pharmacy and I feel better in two days,
173
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.840
I would have been like, you're full of shit, Like
174
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:19.519
what are you talking about? That doesn't make any sense.
175
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:23.919
So yeah, yeah, So that's my new thing. And it
176
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:30.759
has already affected the show. I have recorded three full
177
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.080
two hour novellas or hour and a half to two
178
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.200
hour novellas for October already.
179
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:35.799
Wow.
180
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.440
I used to struggle to get this week's shows done. Yeah,
181
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.240
and now I'm recording for October.
182
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:43.159
Yeah, it's pretty great.
183
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:51.440
Feels good, man, feels good. So so what I want
184
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:55.960
everyone to take from this is do drugs like just
185
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.159
any you can get? No, but no, it just I
186
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.759
just want to share this because it's been such an
187
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.279
uplifting experience, but also because really only close friend that
188
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.480
didn't think I had it already, which is very very funny.
189
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:18.200
Yeah, because I'm not perceptive, I don't.
190
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:23.240
I couldn't tell you. But anyway, with all of that said,
191
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.360
we're going to take a real quick break and we'll
192
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:39.320
be back with some spooky news right after this. We
193
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:44.120
are back, and I think, cell, I think it's time
194
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:50.600
for the spooky news. The spooky news.
195
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.279
Yeah, you didn't ask me to say it.
196
00:11:55.240 --> 00:12:01.159
Well, I was trying to be kind. Never again say shell.
197
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.279
Oh.
198
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.080
By the way, I didn't mention what the topic of
199
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.320
this week's show is or this month's show. It is
200
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:14.799
going to be the moon. Oh okay, because September and
201
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.200
October are all about harvest moons and blood moons and
202
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.519
and all kinds of things like that, and moon, the
203
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.600
moon at night is just kind of spooky. So we're
204
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:32.120
going to dive into myths and legends about the moon. Yeah, well,
205
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:36.759
I'm glad you're thrilled, all right. So well as spooky
206
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.440
season is approaching, you know, this is the episode for August.
207
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.600
That means we only have September and October is coming
208
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.039
right up. I figured we'd start on the right foot
209
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.559
by doing a story from Mirror dot co dot uk,
210
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.080
And this one has a pretty chilling headline. I'm not
211
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.360
gonna lie and I'm not being sarcastic. U this The
212
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:03.440
headline says, Oh, except there's an app It says, final
213
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:11.720
photo of Exorcist before he died emerges and scary and
214
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.399
scary and scary detail creeps everyone out.
215
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:17.519
Oh okay, I guess that is scary.
216
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.799
Here's the photo for you to take a look at.
217
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:22.159
It's a pretty creepy picture.
218
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:24.639
Yeah, he's like holding thing.
219
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:30.639
There's a figure in the window. Oh okay, Oh yeah
220
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.279
there is. It looks like kind of like a homunculus
221
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.919
of sorts in the window. So it's it's an older man,
222
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.000
which would feed into the idea that he died. Also,
223
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:41.720
I just don't well, I was about to say I
224
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:44.559
don't imagine young exorcists, but literally, the Exorcist is about
225
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.759
a young priest and an old priest. But but but
226
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.200
he's an older gentleman. He's wearing a jacket, and he's
227
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.200
holding a big votive candle in front of what looks
228
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.279
like grave markers in front of you know what. That's
229
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.480
not a building, that's a tomb. Yeah, which makes it
230
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.440
even weirder that there's a figure in there because that's
231
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:04.720
like a sealed tomb.
232
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.480
So unless it's his shadow.
233
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.600
I don't think that could be a shadow because it's
234
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.320
clearly behind the frame.
235
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:16.440
Yeah, it wouldn't be.
236
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:21.159
Yeah. Okay, well let's find out a little bit more
237
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.519
because this looks creepy. Also underneath it, says photographer Susan
238
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:29.879
Burrell captured the mysterious figure in the window. A photograph
239
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.080
that appears to show the evil ghost of a man
