00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:06.879
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

240
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:38.320
responsible for hundreds of deaths defies any explanation almost a

241
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.200
quarter of a century after it was taken.

242
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:43.480
Wow.

243
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:49.559
Many visitors to the eerie Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh have

244
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:54.039
reported being attacked by a spooky presence in the graveyard,

245
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.600
but spiritualist medium Colin Grant actually seems to have met

246
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.960
his death at the he hands of George Bloody Mackenzie.

247
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:05.440
Wow, that's a good name.

248
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:11.840
That's quite a claim that he was. He met his

249
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:13.480
end at the hands of a ghost.

250
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.080
Yeah, I mean, I probably though, right, I.

251
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:19.200
Mean, it could it could be.

252
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:23.279
I'm pretty sure. Sorry, I'm pretty sure that ghosts by

253
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.879
Death is like the number one cause of deaths in

254
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:27.200
the UK or something.

255
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:32.840
Ghost by death. Yeah, ghost, that needs to be. That's

256
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.240
the next monthly Spooky t shirt. Just us, it's a

257
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:42.399
ghosts by Death. I'm gonna write that down ghost. Oh

258
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:44.360
good job, shell did good.

259
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:46.639
Oh.

260
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.279
Keep an eye out on the weekly Spooky dot com store.

261
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.559
You never know you might find your very own ghost

262
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:56.200
by Death t shirt. M I do agree. There is

263
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:02.240
an oddumount of ghost activity reported in the UK. Mackenzie's

264
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.720
evil reputation was born in the wake of sixteen seventy

265
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:12.600
nine's a Battle of Bothwell. Some six thousand Presbyterian coven

266
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:17.480
eight coven anters were routed by government forces led by

267
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:23.399
the Duke of Monmouth. Around twelve hundred Cove coven ants

268
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:28.600
were captured imprisoned in a field not far from the churchyard.

269
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.000
There are so many spelling errors in this story. By

270
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.559
the way, I'm not saying coven anters is probably a

271
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.440
real word, but it said form the churchyard, not from

272
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.799
the churchyard. Copy editors, Mirror, dot co dot UK, Hier Michelle,

273
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.600
She's available.

274
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.159
I could do it. I just I'll use like spell

275
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:50.799
check and we'll figure.

276
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:56.279
It out exactly. Many were executed and hundreds more died

277
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:01.320
of maltreatment. Notorious Judge Mackenzie was a fear advocate of

278
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.600
the use of torture in Scotland.

279
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:05.119
Good.

280
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.039
I like to imagine there's just like two big crowds

281
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.599
standing on opposite sides of a building and they're like,

282
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.759
we're for it, and the other side's like where a gammit? Yeah,

283
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.039
and then the judges like I side with them.

284
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.720
Yeah.

285
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.200
The bodies of the covenanters were thrown into a mass

286
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.599
grave on the site of what is now Greyfriars Kirkyard

287
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.079
by chilling coincidence. On his death in sixteen ninety one,

288
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.720
George Mackenzie was interred or interred interred in the so

289
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:43.359
called black mausoleum in that very cemetery. Holy crap, so

290
00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:45.519
that was his mausoleum.

291
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:48.279
Okay.

292
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.759
The photo of the dead exorcist was in front of

293
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:58.839
where the supposed remains of an evil judge lies to rest.

294
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.880
Yeah, and also a bunch of other people.

295
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.359
I guess probably yeah, But that's pretty. But you gotta

296
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.240
admit that's pretty chilling, like like as far as ghost

297
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:13.240
stories go. And here's a look at the cemetery a

298
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.640
little bit more for you. Look at all these crypts.

299
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:17.119
It's pretty nice.

300
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:20.880
It looks very pretty. It's a little less scary when

301
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:22.400
you look in the way back and you'd see an

302
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:23.920
apartment complex through the trees.

303
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:26.799
That's a nice view.

304
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.839
They're lucky gets to look over there and be like,

305
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:33.880
I like where I live now, but there's where i'll

306
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:39.240
be one day. Yeah, so it must be nice. No,

307
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:45.200
let's see, So that all being said, m hm. The

308
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:51.680
cemetery soon acquired a sinister reputation centered around the Black Mausoleum.

309
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.519
There are hundreds of reports of unexplained scratches and bruises

310
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.720
appearing on the faces of visitors to the cemetery.

311
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.519
Know, I mean I have scratches and bruises all over

312
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.200
my face all the time. No, I don't know why.

313
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.319
I mean, well, this might fall into last month's conversation

314
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:11.480
about how you don't want to know if anything's happening

315
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.319
to you. In your sleep, right, Yeah.

316
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:19.160
Okay, fine, so maybe it's maybe I'm worried now.

317
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.680
I'd be worried about the face if you said, like,

318
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.079
I have a bunch of unexplained bruises on like my

319
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.880
wrists or my legs, I'd be like, yeah, I feel

320
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:32.240
like most women do, mm hmm, but not your face.

321
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.920
One time I had scratches on my face.

322
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.680
And I didn't know why do you think you just

323
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:42.240
scratched your own face in your sleep maybe, or maybe

324
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:46.400
your cat scratched you.

325
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.759
Or like walked. I think sometimes I also walk into

326
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.599
things with my.

327
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.680
Face with your face, Just do you just do you

328
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:55.839
lead with your face like a hunch kind of forward

329
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:56.319
to try.

330
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:03.400
Yeah, because you gotta see, so you gotta like gotta

331
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.279
make sure you can see just sticking out.

332
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.960
Ah, those were bramble bushes, That's what it looked like.

333
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:18.400
Not sure so I would do better with whiskers, definitely, but.

334
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.119
Oh yeah, no, I I agree. We'll have some installed

335
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.200
next next month. And one woman claimed to have been

336
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.160
knocked off her feet by an icy blast of wind

337
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:35.799
that came from within the eerie structure. Oh so, she

338
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:41.839
claims that cold air blew out from the tomb and

339
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.680
knocked her over.

340
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:51.559
I mean, sure, it can be windy in the tomb. Well,

341
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:54.160
what if the tomb doesn't have like what how how

342
00:20:54.240 --> 00:21:00.000
is it set up? Like? Is it opened both windows?

343
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.480
Are the windows intact? Can air blood?

344
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:08.519
It appears they're intact? Okay, but that I can't say

345
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:13.319
for sure. Some even claim an evil presence has followed

346
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:17.519
them home from the cemetery, lighting fires in their homes

347
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:24.160
and causing other unexplained phenomena. I mean that sounds like

348
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:27.880
something I would not enjoy. No, I mean unless you

349
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.000
had like a fireplace and you're like, oh, thanks ghost.

350
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:31.440
It was kind of chili in here.

351
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:34.839
Yeah.

352
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.200
There was an apparent increase in this poltergeist activity in

353
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.200
the light late nineteen nineties, after a homeless man seeking

354
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.759
shelter for the night broke into the mausoleum and fell

355
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:50.039
through the floor into a pit of ancient skeletons. Was

356
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:54.759
he okay, I don't think they're gonna say, but I'll

357
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.599
keep reading. But how would you How would that go

358
00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.400
if it was you? You're just like, man, it's so cold,

359
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.400
I need to eat shelter. So then you're like, I'll

360
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:05.160
just step right, and then you fall and you're just

361
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.400
surrounded by a bunch of old skeletons.

362
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.359
I mean, I think realistically, the way that I handle things,

363
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.480
I would just be like oh, and then I'd get out,

364
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:16.240
and then like ten minutes later, I'd be like, oh

365
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:17.799
my god, what just happened?

366
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.519
That sounds right? That sounds right after knowing you for

367
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:26.200
over a decade.

368
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.400
Yeah, yeah, And then I'd be worried that I had

369
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:31.880
some sort of disease, that there was bacteria on the skeleton.

370
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:39.880
Still, most certainly there is great. Some say this accident

371
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:45.319
reawakened the cruel spirit of Bloody Mackenzie. Well, now it

372
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.039
sounds like an eighties movie, like a drunk a drunk

373
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.119
old man falls through the hole, lands on some skeletons,

374
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.839
and pisses off of the dead judge that killed twelve

375
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:56.480
hundred men.

376
00:22:57.640 --> 00:22:59.759
Yeah, that sounds mean.

377
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:02.839
A little bit mean which part?

378
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.319
Yeah, no, not just just one of the parts.

379
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.000
Okay, Oh, so now they're gonna quote. I don't know

380
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:13.480
if you know who mister Balin is.

381
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:15.119
I don't think so.

382
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:19.599
He's a podcaster and YouTuber who tells true scary stories.

383
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:24.480
He's very good at it. I love his content. He

384
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:27.079
was one of the first people I discovered around the

385
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.680
time I started weekly spooky because he really hit during

386
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:35.480
the pandemic. Podcaster mister Balin explains quote, a story began

387
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:38.359
to circulate around town that maybe when that guy fell

388
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.480
through the floor in the mausoleum, that had that had

389
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.759
released George McKenzie's evil spirit, and his spirit was responsible

390
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.519
for all of these attacks. It went on like this

391
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:51.119
for about a year until finally this young woman was

392
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:56.599
found outside the Black Mausoleum unconscious, oh, looking like she'd

393
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:01.000
been strangled, and when she came too, she had no

394
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:05.519
memory of what happened, and so people assumed this had

395
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:09.559
to be another attack by the spirit of George mackenzie.

396
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.480
So did she look like she was strangled because she

397
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:15.640
had like marks on her neck or I was just

398
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.079
thinking that, yeah, yeah, because I'm confused. And also, isn't

399
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.920
it possible, like if a homeless person broke into that thing,

400
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.400
Like obviously people comes into the cemetery, so some real

401
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.000
person couldn't have just strangled her.

402
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.440
It's possible. I was wondering that too, How it would

403
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.640
be that you looked strangled? I mean possibly it's because

404
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:36.000
she was unconscious with no sign of head trauma. That

405
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.799
could be, but that still doesn't make sense for strangled.

406
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.240
Yeah, you would just think that she, you know, fainted,

407
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:42.279
she passed out or something.

408
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:47.160
Yeah, I'm not sure on that one. Uh. Mister Ballan

409
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.680
says that Minister and Medium Colin Grant had been begged

410
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:54.680
by city officials to perform an exorcism in the graveyard

411
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.119
and banish Mackenzie's restless spirit.

412
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.680
Quote.

413
00:24:57.799 --> 00:24:59.960
If you didn't do this exorcism, there was a good chain.

414
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:02.440
It's more people were going to get hurt.

415
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.119
Oh.

416
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:09.920
On that Chile November night, Colin at least had some company. Quote.

417
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.960
There were two people with him. There was a journalist

418
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.880
and a photographer from a local newspaper who were basically

419
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:20.920
tagging along to document this exorcism. Colin told the reporter

420
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:25.559
that he was finding the exorcism ritual unusually difficult and

421
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:28.440
had given up on confronting the ghost of Mackenzie and

422
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:31.960
was instead trying to free the trapped souls of two

423
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:35.759
hundred or so of the coven anters. God, that's such

424
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.839
a weird word. Coven anters who had been buried there

425
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:43.000
and exhausted. Colin said that the exorcism would be quote

426
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:47.960
the death of him, now, of course that is that

427
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.160
is a common British term. Yeah, it'll be the death

428
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:51.359
of me.

429
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:54.759
Yeah, he was he being serious.

430
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:57.720
I don't I don't know, but I like that. They

431
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:02.160
said twelve hundred coven Aners or like died and were

432
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.480
buried there, and he's like, I'm doe. Two hundred. Two

433
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:06.839
hundred's a good number, like the rest of the rest

434
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.880
belong here. It was at around two in the morning

435
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:14.480
that the ritual reached its peak, and even two skeptical

436
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:19.160
journalists began to feel that something was something weird was happening.

437
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:24.240
Photographer Susan Burrow lifted her camera and took one last

438
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:28.119
photo of Colin over his shoulder, apparently peering from a

439
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:32.799
window of the locked and empty church. A mysterious dark

440
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:38.559
figure can be seen. Susan told colleagues afterward that whatever

441
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:41.559
this strange apparition was, it had been moving at the

442
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:50.519
moment she snabbed the photo. HM quote after the flash

443
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:53.839
goes away, mister Ballin says, it was like the light

444
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.039
went out of Colin and he just crumpled to the ground. Oh,

445
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.559
he died, like I thought. They met like a week

446
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:01.599
later or a day later or something. He died, No,

447
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:06.039
he died there. The journalist immediately ran over to see

448
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:09.559
if he was okay, and Colin, who was barely conscious

449
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:12.119
at this point, just kept repeating, this is going to

450
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.400
kill me, This is going to kill me again.

451
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:17.720
Well, how is he saying it?

452
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:23.000
Well, they said that he was barely conscious, So like

453
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:28.319
it was a joke. Son, Colin's words proved prophetic. The

454
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:32.759
podcaster added, not long after this failed exorcism, Colin would

455
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:35.559
die inexplicably. His death would come as a total shock

456
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:37.599
to his friends and family. Okay, so when it's when?

457
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:38.920
Does he say?

458
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:42.680
Like a year later, fifteen years later?

459
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:45.400
Yeah, twenty nine years later?

460
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:46.880
Kind of relative.

461
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.960
No convincing explanation has ever been found for Susan's photo,

462
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:55.559
which appears to show the heartless judge reaching out from

463
00:27:55.559 --> 00:28:01.839
beyond the grave to claim one more victim. Hm, So

464
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:03.559
I mean this is this would be a great story

465
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:04.519
to read around Halloween.

466
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:06.640
Yeah, this is a This is a pretty decent one.

467
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:09.279
And honestly, if I was a judge and someone was

468
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:11.920
trying to exercise me, I might be kind of pissed

469
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.319
off too.

470
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:16.680
Yeah, it's like, are you calling me fat?

471
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:17.680
Yeah?

472
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.000
Yeah, I'd be i'd feel pretty insulted. Well, we're gonna

473
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.000
take a quick break and we'll be back with even

474
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:40.319
more spooky news. We've returned with even more spooky news.

475
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:43.039
This story says the last story was a bit chilling.

476
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:44.920
I wanted to go with something a little lighter, but

477
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:51.720
also I wanted to head to your home state of Pennsylvania. Oh, which,

478
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:55.359
by the way, sounds a lot like Transylvania. Coincidence, I

479
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:59.680
think not. But this article is from the Huffington Post.

480
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.039
The headline is, this groundhog didn't play around to find

481
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:10.920
his bizarre new home in Pennsylvania. Huh, it's a groundhog?

482
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:17.480
What on earth? Oh my gosh, there's a picture of

483
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.400
apparently one of the pictures they prepped of the groundhog

484
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:26.440
is him inside of a claw machine like he's a prize. Yeah,

485
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:29.920
he's like, He's like, I am a prize.

486
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:31.319
Yeah exactly.

487
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:38.039
Anyway, Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Have you ever been to hollidays Burg?

488
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:39.680
No? I don't know where that is?

489
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:40.680
Why the hell not?

490
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:41.920
I don't know.

491
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.960
A Pennsylvania groundhog is making a name for himself for

492
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:51.160
something other than predicting an early or late spring.

493
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:53.759
Or eating my eggplant today.

494
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:59.519
Today, yeah, you caught a groundhog eating your eggplant today.

495
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.640
Oh, it's just gone and it was there yesterday. And

496
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:04.119
I know that they eat my head plants.

497
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:08.000
So oh. And we have moles like crazy here and

498
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:11.000
I hate them. I hate them so much. They're destroying

499
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.559
my backyard. We we can't even put a step ladder

500
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:16.680
up in my backyard because it just sinks into the

501
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.759
earth because it's so loose from how many tunnels there are.

502
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:23.119
Yeah, I'm sorry, And.

503
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.880
You always take their side and intrepid Varmint dubbed Colonel

504
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:35.400
Custard okay, so named for the frozen custard shop and

505
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:39.359
mini golf outlet where he was discovered. Okay, that's cute,

506
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:41.960
Colonel Custard because he was found at a custard shop.

507
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:44.440
You don't like that, It's fine.

508
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:45.960
Why you hated?

509
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:46.960
I don't know.

510
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:50.279
Are you? You're a punks of Tony Phil like Stan,

511
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:52.000
aren't you?

512
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:54.559
No? I hate all of the names. I just want

513
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:59.359
them to have normal names like for it, like Phil,

514
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.759
but with Punkstoni in front of it.

515
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:04.000
What is your problem with punk Satoni?

516
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:05.160
I don't know.

517
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:09.319
For those who don't know, Punksatoni. Pennsylvania is where the

518
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:16.680
Groundhog Festival happens every year. Yeah, so so let's see,

519
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:18.960
he was found stowed away with a Oh wait, no,

520
00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:20.440
that's where he was found.

521
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:22.400
Yeah. I was wondering if that's where that was he

522
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:23.240
was going to be found.

523
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:26.160
I just couldn't imagine how the hell he'd get in there.

524
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:28.319
So I didn't think that that was where he was found.

525
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:32.559
I don't think it's that hard where it comes. Yeah,

526
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:34.759
oh you have, I mean on the internet.

527
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:37.039
I've never heard of that. That's crazy.

528
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:39.240
Yeah.

529
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:41.799
He was found stowed away with a passel of stuffed

530
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.440
animal prizes. In an arcade game two weeks ago. Players

531
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.240
were maneuvering a mechanical clawd of plucked toys from the

532
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.759
glass game case when they suddenly realized a real, live

533
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:53.720
groundhog was blinking.

534
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:54.960
Back at them.

535
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.839
Oh man, uh, look at this picture, Chelle. He's seeing

536
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:02.839
himself in the mirror. Ah, He's like, who's that good

537
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:03.799
looking groundhog?

538
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:05.240
Yeah?

539
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:10.839
Yes, me groundhog noises. I don't know what sounds it

540
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:11.599
sounds they make.

541
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:13.519
Yeah.

542
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.000
The newly named Colonel was found in Holidaysburg, a good

543
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:20.640
hour's drive from Pennsylvania's far more famous groundhog town punk

544
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:26.920
Satawni home of the weather predicting groundhog Phil. The owners

545
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.759
and staff at the Meadows Frozen Custard Shop aren't being

546
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.680
shy about promoting their own furry friend. I just want

547
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:35.200
to say real quick, because I've traveled a lot of

548
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.480
the country so view, but I've traveled a lot of

549
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:41.559
the country, and a little town like hollidays Burg, having

550
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.000
like a big custard shop that has mini golf and

551
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:49.400
arcade game sounds awesome, Like I want to go there. Yeah, yeah,

552
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:51.039
Are you a frozen custard person?

553
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:55.880
Not really, but no, it's fine, Like I just don't

554
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:58.839
I don't have any feelings either way about frozen custard.

555
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.079
Oh man, I think it whoops ice creams, but.

556
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:05.480
I don't think I have a preference.

557
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.359
The first time I ever had this is why I

558
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:11.319
believe that the first time I ever had frozen custard,

559
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:14.759
I didn't know I was being given frozen custard. I

560
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.279
was just being given an ice cream cone and I

561
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:19.920
took like two licks and went, oh my god, this

562
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.559
is so good, and I kept eating it. I was like,

563
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:25.799
why is this is like the best ice cream ever had?

564
00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:28.880
And then my friend was like, oh, it's frozen custard.

565
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:33.119
And I was like, wait what So mostly the difference

566
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:36.240
is egg. Okay, there's egg in it that makes it richer.

567
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.160
Yeah, I mean that does sound good, but I don't care.

568
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:40.519
I don't care about anything.

569
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:46.759
Man Chell's going going all blackpill this month. Ye, she's

570
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:49.839
looking cool. She's like, I'm a nihilist. Where's a black cap?

571
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.279
And yeah.

572
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.720
Staff and owners made T shirts that read respect the

573
00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:59.960
Groundhog held the online naming campaign that drew an APPA

574
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:03.359
lanch of responses, and are working on more promotional ideas,

575
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:05.799
such as naming one of their frozen treat flavors for

576
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:08.599
Colonel Custard, who a groundhog flavored Custard.

577
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:10.639
Yeah that sounds gross.

578
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:13.679
Yeah, that sounds awful. First of all, though I I

579
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.760
call BS. They say they had an online naming campaign

580
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:22.280
to name him, but his name isn't groundhog mcgroundhog face,

581
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:24.880
So there's no way that it was on the internet.

582
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:27.519
No, or they didn't choose that even though it was first,

583
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:29.480
because they're like, no, I'm not going to do that.

584
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.400
There was a few years, maybe five or six, seven

585
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:35.519
years back, there was a contest in the UK to

586
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:40.239
name a boat and the winning one was body mcboat face,

587
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:42.840
and they just didn't. They were just like no, like,

588
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.559
we're like they had to choose the fourth one down

589
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:46.960
for something appropriate.

590
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:50.119
They should have They should have just named it body

591
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:50.840
mcboat face.

592
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.599
Honestly, it might have killed the meme if they did. Yeah,

593
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:56.639
people have been like, all right, there's a body mcboat face.

594
00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:59.440
Let's stop with the something mc something face.

595
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.639
Yeah, yeah, Booby big boat.

596
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:06.960
Face meadow meadow. Man. I how far I want to

597
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.519
find out how far that is from you? Because I

598
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:09.840
want to go to Holidaysburg.

599
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:13.679
Okay, I bet it's to the west and not to

600
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:15.199
the east, because I don't know.

601
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:21.079
It looks like it's near. It's near Pittsburgh, Yeah it is. Yeah,

602
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.519
it's four hours and six minutes from Philly.

603
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.199
Yeah, so I might it might as well just be Pittsburgh.

604
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:29.519
I mean, it's still pretty far from Pittsburgh. It's it's

605
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:32.239
on ninety it's off of ninety nine going north from

606
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:37.000
the Turnpike. Okay, oh yeah, so it's a ways away

607
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:38.440
out by like Altoona.

608
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:41.199
I think that sounds like that would be over there.

609
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:44.400
Now. Let's just talk about Pa for the rest of

610
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:45.159
the show.

611
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.760
But only about like random towns and kind of give

612
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:51.880
vague directions to them exactly.

613
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:56.119
Meadows Manager Lynn Castle said, no one is sure how

614
00:35:56.159 --> 00:35:58.159
the groundhog got in the building, but he must have

615
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:03.559
clamored up the game shoot to the machine quote. They

616
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:06.079
were just staring at the stuffed animals in there, getting

617
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.840
ready to decide what to pick, and saw the groundhog's

618
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:12.199
eyes blinking and realized there was something alive in there.

619
00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:15.039
Castle said, for the record that groundhog is probably in

620
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:17.199
there going. You guys know this game is rigged right,

621
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:20.559
Like you're not gonna win anything in here, like no chance.

622
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.639
Trying to scare you away from being scammed.

623
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:27.000
Yeah.

624
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:31.400
Rachel is a claw machine obsessed person, really, yes, and

625
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:34.159
she wins stuff sometimes she gets she can be pretty

626
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.679
good at it, but you have to spend quite a

627
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:41.239
bit of money to win it. And but no, she's

628
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:43.199
won stuff. She's like showed up at the house and

629
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:45.199
been like I won this at a claw machine here,

630
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:48.360
and I'm like, oh, because when she drives door Nash,

631
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:50.639
she just stops at every claw machine.

632
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:53.920
Oh wow, Okay, it took a.

633
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:57.400
Village to set the Varmint free. Employees first called the

634
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:00.360
claw machine owners, who were too skittish to take the

635
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:03.360
kernel out. Oh yeah, that makes sense. They the people

636
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:06.320
who own the the custard shop aren't gonna know how

637
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:09.679
to take the law machine apart. I didn't even think

638
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:10.360
about that.

639
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:12.719
Even if they could. Like do they want to pick

640
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:13.639
up the ground? Hot?

641
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:17.559
I mean I do? I want to pet it?

642
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:18.400
Yeah?

643
00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:22.320
Pet it? Oh. Next came the police who called the

644
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.199
Pennsylvania Game Commission. Game wardens opened up the claw machine.

645
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.159
I like how they were. They were like, we got

646
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:34.000
a screwdriver opened up. I just want I wish that

647
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.239
I could have been there to see the game. The

648
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:40.159
game wardens like googling the model number on the back

649
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:42.159
of the machine. It's can I guarantee that's what they

650
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:44.960
were doing, And they're like it's then like going, hold on.

651
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:47.360
Just this guy with like a big mustache and like

652
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:49.400
you know, like he's like fifty five years old. He's like,

653
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:51.039
hold on, he's just staring his phone in from the

654
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.960
phone's little speaker. Here, what's up guys? Today we're gonna

655
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:57.000
be talking about this claw machine. I just bought on

656
00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:01.239
an auction. But first, like share subscribe for more information

657
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:03.840
on our funnest games. And he's just like, come on,

658
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:11.719
come on. Game wardens opened up the claw machine. And

659
00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:15.760
released the groundhog into a nearby field. Castle said, aw,

660
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:18.599
it's a good story that ended well. Castle said, he

661
00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:22.679
got set free and no one got bit. Yay. I

662
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.079
love this story. I thought I was actually getting a

663
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:27.440
little conflicted because the way they were talking about the merchandise,

664
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:31.400
I thought they kept him. I would have been I

665
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:33.159
would have had questions. I would have been like, when

666
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:36.800
you say keep them, like, how good is like? Is

667
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.000
he in a great habitat or is he just like

668
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:39.760
in a cage?

669
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:40.800
Yeah?

670
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:43.079
No, I love this that they're like, no, we just

671
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:45.159
had a groundhog here once, so we named him a name,

672
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:46.679
and we let him back into the woods. And now

673
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:49.639
we're just laughing about it. That's wonderful. I want to

674
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.639
go to Holidaysburg more than I ever have before, which

675
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:55.639
is I mean, there's not much comparison. I didn't know

676
00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:59.159
Hollidaysburg existed until today. But I really want to go now.

677
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:00.679
I want to go to the cuss I want to

678
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:07.679
get a T shirt of Colonel Custard. Yeah, yeah, I

679
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:11.079
wonder I wonder if they if like we're so separated

680
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:15.599
from Colonel Custard, the general that people think they're referencing

681
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:20.480
Colonel Mustard from Clue, but in reality, Colonel Custard was

682
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:23.800
the original name. I'm what I just wonder that? So,

683
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:26.480
uh quick plug. By the way, we just covered the

684
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:28.679
film Clue on Do you even movie check that out?

685
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:32.480
Do youevenmovie dot com? All right, so we got another

686
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:36.679
story for you again from Mirror dot co dot uk,

687
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:40.159
and this one cell is for your nightmares.

688
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:42.760
I don't think so.

689
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:48.800
The headline, well, it comes from Reddit and well somewhat.

690
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:52.199
The headline is someone is sneaking into my home and

691
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.280
I keep finding things but I don't know what to do.

692
00:39:56.960 --> 00:40:04.119
So carbon monoxide, I mean, that's probably what's going on. Yeah.

693
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:08.199
Ever had the eerie feeling that someone's been sneaking around

694
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:14.840
your house? Yeah, from the unexplained creaking of floorboards to

695
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:17.440
the mysterious thump in the night. It's easy to get

696
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:21.880
spooked when something's a little off. But now one person

697
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:26.159
believes they have proof that someone has indeed been slipping

698
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:28.679
into their home and they're at a loss about what

699
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:29.159
to do.

700
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:31.239
Hmmm.

701
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:34.119
Have you ever thought there was well, you've thought there

702
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:36.760
was somebody in your home once because the famous printer story.

703
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:39.199
Yeah, I mean I've thought there's somebody in my home.

704
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:40.280
Lots of times.

705
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:41.320
Oh lots.

706
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:44.679
I mean that was the only time I called the cops. Normally,

707
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:45.599
Oh figure out.

708
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:47.440
So is this a normal like fear to you that

709
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:49.039
you're like, oh, crap, there's someone in the house and

710
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:52.360
then there's nobody, or do you find people in your

711
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:53.800
house but you just don't talk about it because you

712
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:54.639
know you're not a bragger.

713
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:56.719
We just don't really talk about it. I actually had

714
00:40:56.760 --> 00:40:58.960
a friend that found someone living in his basement.

715
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:00.599
Oh my oh god.

716
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:03.400
It was just some heat like they were musicians in

717
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.320
Philly and it was just somethingople that came to a

718
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:07.920
show and just decided to stay in his basement.

719
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:14.519
Legend, absolute legend. That should be a news story. I'm

720
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:16.719
surprised that we haven't read that on mirror dot Cote

721
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:22.559
at UK. The chilling situation unfolded around two weeks ago

722
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:26.079
when they found an odd item which had seemingly materialized

723
00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:28.559
out of nowhere in their home. Believe it or not,

724
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:32.760
it was a single set of fake eyelashes resting on

725
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:33.719
their bed.

726
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:36.639
And they don't have fake eyelashes.

727
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:42.559
Right, Okay, I'm going as a man who has dated women,

728
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.679
that sounds like somebody's sleeping in their bed when they're

729
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.840
not around, or.

730
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:52.280
At least leaving their fake eyelashes there.

731
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.960
I've dated women who wore fake eyelashes and if they

732
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.440
were going to bed kind of in a hurry, they

733
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:01.599
would just take them off and stick them to something

734
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:04.719
nearby so they could retrieve them in the morning. Huh okay,

735
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:07.920
because they have like a mild adhesive, right.

736
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:09.679
Right, so they could stay on your face.

737
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:15.400
So I found discarded eyelashes stuck to my bedside table before.

738
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:21.320
That really makes that actually feels like like sincere evidence

739
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:23.880
that someone's sleeping in their bed when they're not around.

740
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:29.599
What if they were in a place and someone had

741
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:32.000
taken off their fake eyelashes and put them on a thing,

742
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:34.719
like let's say, a movie theater, and they sat on

743
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.239
the fake eyelashes and it got stuck to them, and

744
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:39.400
then they came home and they sat on the bed

745
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.320
and they didn't realize until like the next day.

746
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:46.519
I mean, that could be. I mean, let's see, because

747
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:52.039
it says, yeah, resting on their bed. Oh, for some reason,

748
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:54.280
I thought it meant near their bed, on their bed.

749
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:56.360
It could also be I mean, like I really do

750
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:59.239
think somebody's sleeping in their bed because it could be

751
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.239
that they came off while they were laying in their bed,

752
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:04.239
but also it means whatever psychopath is living in their

753
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.239
house without them knowing, or breaking into their house and

754
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:09.760
using their bed like keeps their shit on fleek, like

755
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:11.719
they they want to look good. They want to look good,

756
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:15.519
feel good, smell good. So we're gonna take a real

757
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:17.920
quick break and we'll be back talking more about the

758
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:22.800
story of someone sneaking into someone's home and leaving fake eyelashes.

759
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:35.719
Right after this, we have returned with more spooky news.

760
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:37.719
I don't know why I'm doing goofy. I think I'm

761
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:41.840
I think I'm feeling Halloween like I'm feeling it, you know.

762
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:42.559
Good.

763
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:46.239
So uh, but we're gonna dive back into this story

764
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:49.920
about from mere dot Yo, dot co dot UK about

765
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:53.199
a couple who believe someone is secretly living in their home.

766
00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:01.039
Talking to Reddit, the anonymous user is anonymous. The anonymous

767
00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:05.559
user explained, quote, my girlfriend found an individual false eyelash

768
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.920
in the bed, which she was confused by and questioned

769
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:11.079
me about it because she doesn't wear them. Oh, he's

770
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:12.719
cheating on her. That's that's all.

771
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.519
Yeah, end of the end of article.

772
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:22.000
He's cheating on her. I could understand the concern, given

773
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:23.719
I know she doesn't wear them, but I have no

774
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:26.159
idea where it could have come from, especially for it

775
00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:29.079
to end up on the bed sheet under the duvet. Yeah, yeah,

776
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:30.159
you have no idea.

777
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:32.679
Wow, I can't believe he's fun this into a like

778
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:35.039
a ghost not or like a person living in the

779
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:36.960
house story. I mean.

780
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:41.400
Desperation, man, it can it can make you come up

781
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:47.639
with a lot. Yeah, I wonder what the comments are anyway. Uh,

782
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:54.079
it really sounds like he was having an affair real

783
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:57.079
quick before we get further into the story. Cell, So

784
00:44:57.519 --> 00:44:59.599
you have said that you've many times feared there was

785
00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:04.440
someone in your home, right, Uh huh, here's my question. Yes,

786
00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.719
how do you check? Like, what is your process to

787
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:10.159
confirm your home as in a state of security?

788
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:12.360
Go look to find them.

789
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:16.440
That's it, you just go look. Yeah, Like, but do

790
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:19.239
you like, do you like get a kitchen knife or

791
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.079
do you like do you do you like hold your

792
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:24.599
phone close by and dial nine one so you like

793
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:26.719
down nine one one send.

794
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:34.079
So I think that actually taking Zoloft has probably helped,

795
00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:35.800
because I think a lot of this comes from that,

796
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:38.079
Like we were talking about last week, whatever that kind

797
00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:42.639
of weird like night panic attacks thing is. Yeah, I

798
00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:45.920
think that it's really really helped me not freak out

799
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:48.800
at night. But I used to if I heard something

800
00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:51.400
it's been a really long time, I would just go

801
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:53.679
downstairs and see if I could find who it was

802
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:57.639
without anything. I mean, I I do have. I do

803
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:00.480
have a firearm, which I took like one time, but

804
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:02.519
in general, I just go down and see if I'm

805
00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:04.960
gonna get killed or not, or then I go back

806
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:05.440
to sleep.

807
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:09.360
So it sounds like you you generally think it's probably nothing,

808
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:13.079
but just want to confirm for your own peace of mind. Yes, okay,

809
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:15.360
that makes sense. Yeah, I have a firearm as well,

810
00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:17.800
and there have only been like three times in my

811
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:20.960
life that I've been positive I heard something not normal,

812
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.239
like something that could have been somebody breaking in, And

813
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:25.800
those are the only times I like got the firearm

814
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:27.840
to go check it out. Yeah, one of those times

815
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:31.280
it was my girlfriend, and thank goodness, I call out too,

816
00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:35.039
because well, I I'm not trying to get into like

817
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:37.800
firearm stuff, but like you should have if you own

818
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:40.199
a firearm, you should obviously be you know, trained with

819
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:42.039
it and everything, but you should also have a course

820
00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:44.840
of action a plan for if you ever need to

821
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:49.880
use it, And part of my plan is giving whoever

822
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:55.679
an opportunity to identify themselves and escape before you know,

823
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:57.760
because to me, it's like if I go, is anyone

824
00:46:57.840 --> 00:46:59.079
here and then I hear a noise, I go, I

825
00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:02.000
have a gun, Like if they if they come at

826
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:04.280
me anyway, that's like, okay, they told me to kill them,

827
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:08.159
like they they they because they could run away and

828
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:11.159
I wouldn't chase after them. But you know, yeah, if

829
00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:13.239
they if they if they come toward me, that means

830
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.800
they're not just here to steal stuff, which means adios muchachos,

831
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:18.679
Like it's time. It's time for you to take a

832
00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:23.639
long quick nap. So uh oh my god, that's I

833
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:24.559
haven't said that in forever.

834
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:27.840
That's something my my stepdad used to say. Oh yeah, his.

835
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:30.000
Way his way of saying is somebody was supposed to die.

836
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:32.119
Like usually it was like when he was describing like

837
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:34.920
somebody doing something stupid that would kill them, he'd like

838
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:36.719
he'd be like, yeah, you could put him in charge

839
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:38.519
of that, if that steamroller, if you want, if you

840
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.639
want the supervisor to take a long quick nap, hmm, yeah, anyway,

841
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:50.559
long quick nap. Don't it's just a anyway, a long

842
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:54.159
quick nap. In the following In the following days, things

843
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:59.119
only got stranger. Oh yeah, now, and next is gonna

844
00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:01.519
be like with with a lipstick appearing on his collar,

845
00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:05.239
and and and strange phone numbers that he's dialed in

846
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:07.079
his phone sending up text messages.

847
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.079
No, I didn't do it.

848
00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:12.239
It was someone broke into the house. It seemed their

849
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:18.840
door lock had also become loose, hinting it may have

850
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:21.519
been tampered with, or he.

851
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:25.039
Can it just needs to be tightened, or what are

852
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:25.599
we doing here?

853
00:48:26.639 --> 00:48:30.239
Given the robustness of this lock, The couple also believe

854
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:33.599
it would have required physical force to be pushed in

855
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:40.519
this manner the user. The user continued, quote, today I

856
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:44.199
walked into the kitchen and stepped on something. It's a fake.

857
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:47.519
It's a fake red fingernail that's been used, as you

858
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:49.960
can see the old patch of glue on the bottom.

859
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:52.920
I showed it to my girlfriend and she had no idea.

860
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:58.559
Either she doesn't wear she doesn't wear PPL. Either of

861
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:03.440
these things. I don't know. But people, I don't know

862
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:06.800
what that PPL means. To clarify, we have not had

863
00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:09.920
any guests that would have brought these things in. Neither

864
00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:12.360
of us have been in contact with people that have

865
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:16.320
had these things. And the eyelash was inside the bed,

866
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:20.679
well under the duvet, not inside the bed. I mean,

867
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:24.599
I think that would be I would be very disturbed.

868
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:30.440
This person's clearly having an affair. To make matters worse,

869
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:35.039
the user implied their partner is concerned. There's infidelity involved,

870
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:42.920
you think, you think, But the writers simply can't explain

871
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:47.679
why these strange things are happening. Am I just am

872
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:50.519
I just being too negative? Or is this very clearly

873
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:53.840
like him trying to hide the fact that he's having infidelity.

874
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:57.840
I mean it's possible that there's a person in their

875
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:00.519
house that just where is those things?

876
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:03.199
And that Scott's styles of spare.

877
00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:06.800
Yeah, well, I mean, and they broke their fake now

878
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:09.639
when they were trying to open the door, and you know,

879
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:13.199
like he and in his to his credit, sounds like

880
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:16.639
he's the one who pointed out the fingernail. I mean

881
00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:18.199
that could be part of his plan to make it

882
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:19.880
look like he's not as is.

883
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:23.679
After the it sounds to me like the eyelash would

884
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:26.559
then lead you to fake the fingernail to be like, look,

885
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:28.960
it's just weird. Why would it be in the kitchen

886
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:31.119
and not in the bed where you would have an

887
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:32.119
adulterous affair.

888
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:35.280
Yeah, I didn't just take it from the bed throw

889
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:36.079
it on the floor.

890
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:44.920
No no, no, no no, They added quote we often

891
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:48.519
hear what sounds like a classic Android notification sound, but

892
00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:53.519
from out in the living room. Hmmm, the plot thickens.

893
00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:56.079
Just to be clear, this isn't a building where you

894
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:59.360
can hear your neighbors talking other in an apartment. It's

895
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:02.320
a big, sturdy, old military office building.

896
00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:05.639
Oh okay, I don't know what that means.

897
00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:09.960
The building holds six separate flats. O. They're British. That

898
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:15.239
explains it. All six separate flats. And we've lived here

899
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:18.039
for about ten months. Has anyone else had any strange

900
00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:18.719
things happen?

901
00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:21.400
Okay, So.

902
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:23.400
Got a theory.

903
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:26.840
I'll be I'll be fair and give like a plausible

904
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:29.800
other explanation. They've only lived in the apartment for ten months.

905
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:34.239
If they are renders, for instance, or they or they

906
00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:36.960
bought it and they haven't changed the locks, they may

907
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:40.679
have a previous residence. Sometimes going into the apartment maybe

908
00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:44.119
too take a shower with the guy. Yeah, sleep with

909
00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:44.519
the guy.

910
00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:52.159
I may maybe I's seen it awfully, it seems like

911
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:55.360
this is just infidelity.

912
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:58.840
He should not go. He should not have sex with

913
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:00.320
that woman at their place.

914
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:03.760
Then no, no, go to the motel six like a

915
00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:12.440
respectable adult. Yeah, let's see has el at the end

916
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:14.400
of the quote has has anyone else had any strange

917
00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:18.599
things happen? The anonymous admission was quick to rack up

918
00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:22.960
more than one hundred comments on Reddit as various users

919
00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:26.480
chimed in with their theories about the mysterious happenings. One

920
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:29.719
person wrote, quote, both these items have glue on them

921
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:33.079
and are easily picked up on clothes and footwear. Like

922
00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:38.440
I said, the eyelash in the bed. Come on, that's

923
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:39.519
like such a giveaway.

924
00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:40.960
Oh no.

925
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:46.480
Meanwhile, another added there's a thing it is called frogging,

926
00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:50.440
something something like squatters, but the people are living in

927
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:54.719
an occupied home. I'd get some cameras, change locks and

928
00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:58.199
talk to the landlord. I have heard of frogging. There

929
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:01.679
was a movie I think it was called I can't

930
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:03.280
remember them. It was like something like Now that I

931
00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:05.880
See or something like that, or Ice you It was

932
00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:08.119
called Ice. It was a horror movie about frogging. It

933
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:11.320
was very creepy. Yeah, it's people living in a house

934
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:14.280
while there are people also living there, but they do

935
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:18.760
it for fun. Wow, which is scarier than desperation honestly.

936
00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:20.679
Yeah. Yeah.

937
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:25.000
However, one skeptic wrote, quote or op is cheating on

938
00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:28.440
his wife and playing the stupid card. Oh babe, I

939
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:31.599
have no idea how this happened. Instead of buying cameras

940
00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:33.920
that only I'll have access to the footage of, let

941
00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:40.480
me ask reddit. Yeah, man, that based that was based.

942
00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:42.880
I mean also to be fair, like, I don't know

943
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:46.679
how this apartment building is set up, but normally, like

944
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:48.719
you have to have some sort of access to get

945
00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:52.440
into the building too, you'd think, yeah, you'd think so,

946
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:56.039
I mean, maybe not, but maybe so. Like so this

947
00:53:56.119 --> 00:53:58.800
person broke into the building and then also broke into

948
00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:01.119
the apartment. Hmmm.

949
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:04.239
It's a lot of ifs, and for none of the

950
00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:06.480
neighbors to notice, unless, of course, it's one of your

951
00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:09.400
neighbors who you would definitely be having an affair with.

952
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:14.239
All of this leads the most simple explanation is an affair.

953
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:21.159
The problem here is the eyelash being in under the

954
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:28.159
duvet really sounds like an affair. Yeah, then finding a

955
00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:32.039
used nail in the kitchen sounds like misdirection.

956
00:54:33.280 --> 00:54:41.880
Yeah, that's my thought. Yeah, it's too bad they didn't

957
00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:47.719
find something cool, like.

958
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:46.679
Like a severed head.

959
00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:49.559
Yeah, or more like a jar of pickles.

960
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:56.800
Hmm, pickles. Well. Our next story, unfortunately, is a little

961
00:54:56.840 --> 00:55:01.840
bit more sad. This one's from the huff Post, and

962
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:05.760
I'm very sad to report this Monkey Mayhem could soon

963
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:08.599
be a thing of the past in Central Thai City.

964
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:12.039
Oh, I don't know how to feel about that.

965
00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:15.079
You don't love monkey Mayhem?

966
00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:17.119
I don't know.

967
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:20.239
I love monkey Mayhem. I don't even need to know

968
00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:22.679
what it is. That title says it all.

969
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:25.840
I mean, that title makes me like, not super thrill

970
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:26.519
about it.

971
00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:29.039
But what's your problem with monkeys?

972
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:30.800
I really don't like monkeys.

973
00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:33.960
They're so funny. They're like us except Harry and they

974
00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:36.199
can still smoke cigarettes and it's way funnier when they

975
00:55:36.239 --> 00:55:36.480
do it.

976
00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:39.880
Yeah. I'm really scared of monkeys.

977
00:55:39.199 --> 00:55:40.880
Oh, because they're so strong.

978
00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:44.880
And they're too smart in things. I don't like them.

979
00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:51.199
Okay, fine, Well, this story is from Bangkok. Tye wildlife

980
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:53.719
officials laid out a plan on Wednesday to bring peace

981
00:55:53.800 --> 00:55:56.639
to a central Thaie city after at least a decade

982
00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:58.480
of human monkey conflict.

983
00:55:59.079 --> 00:56:01.639
Oh wow, I love that.

984
00:56:01.719 --> 00:56:05.239
After almost a decade of human monkey conflict, I've seen

985
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:07.039
plan of the apes. It doesn't go good for us.

986
00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:17.199
So the makis, the makikis that rome lapuri are a

987
00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:20.480
symbol of local culture and a major tourist draw. But

988
00:56:20.559 --> 00:56:23.880
after years of dangerous encounters with residents and visitors and

989
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:27.719
several failed attempts to bring peace with population controls, local

990
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:31.440
people and businesses have had enough. Well, you're trying to

991
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:34.159
bring peace by preventing them from mating and killing some

992
00:56:34.199 --> 00:56:36.679
of them. That's not really that's not really a sign

993
00:56:36.760 --> 00:56:39.400
of peace. You know, monkeys can wage war on each other.

994
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:41.880
Yeah, I guess.

995
00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:47.079
The monkeys frequently try to snatch food from humans, sometimes

996
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:50.039
resulting in tussles that can leave people with scratches and

997
00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:53.440
other injuries. But outrage grew in March when a woman

998
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:56.159
dislocated her knee after a monkey pulled her off her

999
00:56:56.159 --> 00:56:58.920
feet in an effort to grab food, and another man

1000
00:56:59.039 --> 00:57:01.000
was knocked off a mote cycle.

1001
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:02.280
By a hungry monkey.

1002
00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:07.119
Wow, that's, by the way, how I describe myself when

1003
00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:09.840
it's almost dinner time. I'm a hungry monkey. I'm a

1004
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:15.079
hungry monkey. Authorities hope to round up some twenty five

1005
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:19.320
hundred urban monkeys and place them in massive enclosures, said

1006
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:26.159
Athopole Kara Chero and Shunessa the director sorry the Director

1007
00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:29.679
General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.

1008
00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:32.800
They'll work with wildlife experts to find a way for

1009
00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:35.320
a limited number of monkeys to stay at Liberty in

1010
00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:40.039
the city. He added, My problem here is like either

1011
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:44.920
either commit to no monkeys or have monkey problems. That's

1012
00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:45.559
what I think.

1013
00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:48.199
I just don't like the idea of they're just going

1014
00:57:48.280 --> 00:57:51.519
to put them, They're going to like intern them somewhere.

1015
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:53.840
It just seems terrible.

1016
00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:59.719
It doesn't sound great. You think they should just kill them, Sure,

1017
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:02.519
rack open their heads and feast upon the goo inside.

1018
00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:05.119
I mean, fucking faces of death.

1019
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:06.559
I guess so.

1020
00:58:10.599 --> 00:58:15.000
Quote. I don't want humans to have to hurt monkeys,

1021
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:17.079
and I don't want monkeys to have to hurt humans,

1022
00:58:17.079 --> 00:58:20.000
he told reporters doing during a news conference in Bangkok.

1023
00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:24.159
An official monkey catching campaign was launched. We was launched

1024
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:28.079
last week, prioritizing more aggressive alpha males. It has caught

1025
00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:31.599
thirty seven monkeys so far. That's not a lot, most

1026
00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:35.039
of whom have been placed placed under the care of

1027
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:39.119
wildlife authorities in the neighboring province of sarah Bury, while

1028
00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:44.719
others were sent to La Puri Zoo. We're gonna take

1029
00:58:44.719 --> 00:58:46.719
a quick break and we'll be back with all of

1030
00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:56.320
the rip roaring monkey fun. Right after these quick words.

1031
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:05.159
We are back and monkeying around as we talk about

1032
00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:14.280
apparently a Thai citi's war against monkeys. Yeah, wow, I cannot.

1033
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:16.840
I can't say that I really thought this was happening.

1034
00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:21.360
But I don't think about Thailand that much. I guess.

1035
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:23.679
I mostly just like their food.

1036
00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:25.679
Did you have good food?

1037
00:59:26.280 --> 00:59:31.199
Yeah, we like Thai food. Officials said they plan to

1038
00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:34.119
capture the rest of the monkeys once the enclosures are complete,

1039
00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:38.400
especially those in residential areas. Separate cages will be prepared

1040
00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:41.800
for different troops of monkeys to prevent them from fighting. See,

1041
00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:43.440
I told you they war within each other.

1042
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:46.360
Yeah, I guess so.

1043
00:59:47.320 --> 00:59:50.000
I told you. People think I make up stuff about monkeys,

1044
00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:55.719
but I know monkeys. Athapol said he expects the first

1045
00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:58.599
phase of the operation to start within weeks. And believes

1046
00:59:58.639 --> 01:00:01.559
the huge cages will be to contain thousands of them

1047
01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:05.199
and will quote solve the problem very quickly.

1048
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:11.320
That's good. I guess well.

1049
01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:14.880
This okay, here's something interesting they're diving into into the

1050
01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:18.639
culture around monkeys and Thailand. The monkeys are a symbol

1051
01:00:18.679 --> 01:00:21.519
of the province about one hundred and forty kilometers or

1052
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:24.800
ninety miles north of Bangkok, where the ancient Three Pagodas

1053
01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:29.880
Temple celebrates an annual monkey buffet festival. Oh no, are

1054
01:00:29.880 --> 01:00:33.960
they eating the monkeys? I hear. If I heard you

1055
01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:35.719
want to go to the monkey buffet, I would assume

1056
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:36.920
it's all you can eat monkey.

1057
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:40.599
I would just assume that it's called the monkey Buffet,

1058
01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:42.480
but it has nothing to do with anything else.

1059
01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:47.920
Founded by Charles Monkey in nineteen fifteen, exactly. H And

1060
01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:53.159
they're commonly seen throughout the city. Makeikas are Makekas are

1061
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:58.519
classified as a protected macaque. I've heard that before, maccacs.

1062
01:00:58.760 --> 01:01:00.960
It's m aca ques.

1063
01:01:01.719 --> 01:01:03.199
I think that's macacs. I'm not sure.

1064
01:01:03.559 --> 01:01:07.280
It's probably macaques, which I mean, my last name is

1065
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:12.039
a que and it's k I give up. Are classified

1066
01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:19.519
as a protected species under Thailand's Wildlife Conservation law. Yeah.

1067
01:01:20.199 --> 01:01:23.320
Some have blamed the city's monkey troubles on tourists and

1068
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:26.440
residents feeding the animals, which they say drew monkeys into

1069
01:01:26.440 --> 01:01:29.039
the city and boosted their numbers, as well as getting

1070
01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:32.119
them accustomed to getting food from humans.

1071
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:33.320
I don't know.

1072
01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:36.599
About that, because monkeys have always had the ability to

1073
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:40.440
steal food from people. I feel like the fact that

1074
01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:44.840
people have food at all is what's bringing the monkeys.

1075
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:48.119
I mean, I would think that if the monkeys realize

1076
01:01:48.199 --> 01:01:51.639
that that humans often feed them, and that humans aren't

1077
01:01:51.719 --> 01:01:54.440
scary and don't seem to want to hurt them, I

1078
01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:56.559
would think that that would really help too.

1079
01:01:56.639 --> 01:02:01.920
Though. So you're saying our mistake was entirely kindness of nonviolence. Absolutely,

1080
01:02:03.320 --> 01:02:05.880
like there should be propaganda. Sizer's like, see a monkey,

1081
01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:08.679
slap it in the head. Yeah, you're not trying to

1082
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:10.079
kill it, You're just trying to make sure it knows

1083
01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:11.639
that you're not that you're threatening.

1084
01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:12.920
Yeah, exactly.

1085
01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:17.639
I like this. Yeah, I think it's works for me.

1086
01:02:17.960 --> 01:02:19.840
It'd take a long time, and it would make the

1087
01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:22.320
monkeys really sad, and maybe the people sad too.

1088
01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.159
It would make the people sad. Although I don't know

1089
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:27.639
slapping a monkey would be pretty could be pretty funny,

1090
01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:29.519
except for the part where they just freaking kill you

1091
01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:33.199
because they're so strong. Yeah, even the little monkeys are

1092
01:02:33.199 --> 01:02:37.400
pretty strong. That was my nickname as a child, little monkey,

1093
01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:41.199
and it's now my rap name, little monkey.

1094
01:02:41.480 --> 01:02:41.679
Yeah.

1095
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:46.079
But an earlier effort to limit feeding may have made

1096
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:50.079
things worse. Some residents say local officials began threatening fines

1097
01:02:50.119 --> 01:02:52.960
for feeding monkeys outside a few designated areas around the

1098
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:56.519
main tourist attractions in recent years, but those feeding areas

1099
01:02:56.519 --> 01:03:00.599
were dominated by a few troops of highly territorial creatures,

1100
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:04.800
while rival bands grew hungry and turned to harassing humans

1101
01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:08.840
in other areas for food even more hummm, I told

1102
01:03:08.880 --> 01:03:12.000
you they go to war with each other. There are

1103
01:03:12.000 --> 01:03:15.400
like nine movies about this. Now we need to be ready.

1104
01:03:17.280 --> 01:03:21.000
At the Pole said people shouldn't see monkeys as villains,

1105
01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:24.159
saying that the authorities might have not been efficient enough

1106
01:03:24.199 --> 01:03:28.199
in their work to control the Semian populate population. People

1107
01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:32.480
also need to adapt to the city's monkeys, said Fagel Lythong,

1108
01:03:33.199 --> 01:03:36.239
director of the Wildlife Conservation Office, explaining that a lack

1109
01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:39.599
of natural food sources prompts the animals to find food

1110
01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:46.679
wherever they can, including from humans. Yeah, I mean I

1111
01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:48.280
think they were going to start taking I think that

1112
01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:50.360
the fact that they have hands means they're gonna start

1113
01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:54.920
stealing humans food. They're fast too. Have you ever watched,

1114
01:03:54.960 --> 01:03:59.360
like I watch on YouTube compilations all the time, videos

1115
01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:02.280
of monkeys and stuff to people in their tourists in Thailand.

1116
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:03.400
It's ridiculous.

1117
01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:05.719
I don't watch that because I'm scared of monkeys.

1118
01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:11.880
They steal so much stuff. Yeah, previous control measures have

1119
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:14.800
fallen short. From twenty fourteen to twenty twenty three, the

1120
01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:19.599
wildlife authorities neutered about twenty six hundred Lapuri monkeys. I

1121
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:21.719
mean that should have sent a message, we capture you,

1122
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:25.000
we drug you, we cut off your testicles.

1123
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:28.280
Yeah, you'd think so, But maybe that just made them angry.

1124
01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:32.960
So they could be Yeah, yeah, could be. Athopole said

1125
01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:35.320
they are working in other areas of Thailand that are

1126
01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:39.079
facing problems with monkeys, such as praduab Kerry Khan and

1127
01:04:39.119 --> 01:04:42.599
fe Fetcha Bury. He said fifty two of the country's

1128
01:04:42.599 --> 01:04:46.760
seventy seven provinces report frequent problems from monkeys.

1129
01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:49.280
Frequent, frequent.

1130
01:04:52.320 --> 01:04:55.920
That's all to say, Shell, I'm so excited to tell you,

1131
01:04:56.039 --> 01:05:01.519
I got you a monkey for Christmas. No, well, I

1132
01:05:01.719 --> 01:05:03.480
mean I ordered him now. He'll be here in a

1133
01:05:03.519 --> 01:05:05.320
week and then I have to train him for you.

1134
01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:08.480
I mean, that's kind of you, But you can keep him.

1135
01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:10.679
I guess I'm gonna train him so poorly. I just

1136
01:05:10.719 --> 01:05:12.519
want to I just want to give a monkey a

1137
01:05:12.519 --> 01:05:16.639
bunch of snacks and cigarettes. Oh God, you gotta teach

1138
01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:18.679
you how to smoke. It's the funniest thing a monkey

1139
01:05:18.719 --> 01:05:19.039
can do.

1140
01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:20.840
I'm calling the police.

1141
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:26.320
There's not a jury in this country though, convict me

1142
01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:33.320
not for a monkey related crime. So we're heading back

1143
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:37.559
to Mirror dot co dot UK and Edinburgh again. This

1144
01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:41.159
time we're going back to ghosts as we talk about

1145
01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:45.719
the headline, which reads creepy Edinburgh doll terrifies locals as

1146
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:49.440
they lose sleep over a menacing toy in charity shop.

1147
01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:51.039
And there's the toy cell.

1148
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:53.760
That's a really scary doll.

1149
01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:59.679
You find that you find that scary? Yeah, it's getting

1150
01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:02.000
I'm making the image figure so it scares you more.

1151
01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:02.719
There we go.

1152
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:04.760
That's a pretty scary doll.

1153
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:10.360
This doll has strawberry blonde hair, eyes that appear just

1154
01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:15.960
jet black, a mouth, a gape. Would you call that

1155
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:21.639
a gape mouth like slacked jawed? Yeah, and the scariest

1156
01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:23.840
part they want one hundred and eighty quid.

1157
01:06:25.199 --> 01:06:29.719
Yeah. Also, its skin is like kind of pale yellow almost.

1158
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:32.920
Yeah, that might be the lighting, but it's it's eerie.

1159
01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:34.880
Yeah.

1160
01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:40.400
Yeah. That doll does not look okay. Yeah, yeah, it

1161
01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:43.679
does not not okay, I am not okay with it.

1162
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:47.679
Shoppers have been left terrified after a charity shop in

1163
01:06:47.840 --> 01:06:51.880
Edinburgh put a menacing doll on display for sale. The

1164
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:55.199
creepy toy has sparked a raft of comments online because

1165
01:06:55.239 --> 01:06:58.559
of the frightening appearance. It began after a local who

1166
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:02.199
takes photos around March morning side and nearby places in

1167
01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:04.920
Edinburgh put up a photo of a scary doll they

1168
01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:08.239
saw in a shop. Soon, lots of people were commenting

1169
01:07:08.280 --> 01:07:13.480
online about how terrifying the doll seemed. You would be

1170
01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:15.239
one of those people, wouldn't you.

1171
01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:18.280
No, I don't just go online and comment about how

1172
01:07:18.360 --> 01:07:23.360
terrifying dolls are. I don't want sure about that secrets. Yeah,

1173
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:27.440
I don't want anyone to know my secrets.

1174
01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:32.599
That doll. One person on Twitter wondered if the doll

1175
01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:36.760
quote comes to life at night. Some even joked about

1176
01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:40.000
it being part of any unsolved murders. In morning Side,

1177
01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:42.719
the spooky toy was found in a charity shop in

1178
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:45.079
Mourning Side. It was first priced at one hundred and

1179
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:50.559
eighty quid, but then dropped to ninety quid. That's half off. Wow,

1180
01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:54.320
I could just about afford to buy that for you.

1181
01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:55.000
You don't have to.

1182
01:07:56.159 --> 01:07:59.039
Oh maybe I should no use.

1183
01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:00.440
Your money better than that.

1184
01:08:02.039 --> 01:08:04.360
No one knows if its price went down because people

1185
01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:11.800
think it's haunted. Well, it does seem possible. Reacting to

1186
01:08:11.880 --> 01:08:15.599
the creepy image, Lucy Norris posted on x formerly Twitter

1187
01:08:16.000 --> 01:08:18.880
quote doll for sale and morning side they must have

1188
01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:22.479
a pension for menacing toys. I love everybody's using the

1189
01:08:22.520 --> 01:08:25.119
term menacing. That must be very popular in the UK.

1190
01:08:25.840 --> 01:08:29.119
Maybe that doll just looks menacing, It kind of does.

1191
01:08:29.720 --> 01:08:32.079
I mean, I can't argue with the idea that that

1192
01:08:32.159 --> 01:08:37.319
doll looks menacing. Dolls are already creepy. I think it's

1193
01:08:37.399 --> 01:08:41.800
kind of an uncanny Valley thing, maybe you know, For

1194
01:08:41.800 --> 01:08:44.840
those who don't know, uncanny valley is when a face

1195
01:08:45.039 --> 01:08:48.000
doesn't quite look right and it just creeps us out,

1196
01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:51.800
which I think is evolutionary I think that's a way

1197
01:08:51.840 --> 01:08:54.880
of us trying to not fall for being fooled into

1198
01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:59.439
thinking things are like us. But it's very eerie and

1199
01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:06.960
often un You find uncanny valley in things like animation, paintings, drawings, sculptures,

1200
01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:10.000
and oddly enough, from what I've read, the uncanny valley

1201
01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:13.279
is most common when you actually, like, are using an

1202
01:09:13.279 --> 01:09:16.479
actual scan of a face to create another face, like,

1203
01:09:16.720 --> 01:09:21.039
because then it's so accurate that it's inaccurate. Like It's

1204
01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:23.960
like an artist's interpretation of a face is less creepy

1205
01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:28.000
than a real interpretation of a face. I know that

1206
01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:33.640
motion capture for three D animated movies and video games.

1207
01:09:33.720 --> 01:09:37.119
Sometimes the uncanny valley, like is just terrifying. You just

1208
01:09:37.159 --> 01:09:39.199
look at me, You're like, that looks like a dead person.

1209
01:09:39.560 --> 01:09:41.840
You know, that doesn't look like a that doesn't look

1210
01:09:41.880 --> 01:09:44.000
like a human. That looks like something else. Trying to

1211
01:09:44.039 --> 01:09:53.119
convince me otherwise. I don't like that. Oh so, another

1212
01:09:53.159 --> 01:09:55.359
person on Twitter said that thing totally comes to life

1213
01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:59.119
at night, doesn't it. Someone else added quote, thanks for that,

1214
01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:02.239
Not sure, I'll be sleeping tonight. Need to know where

1215
01:10:02.279 --> 01:10:07.520
in Morningside so that I can avoid it. Birthlink Thrift

1216
01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:12.399
shops also commented, quote, absolutely not no thanks. That reduction

1217
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:16.720
is written in blood, isn't it. They're just making me

1218
01:10:16.760 --> 01:10:17.920
want to buy it more.

1219
01:10:19.079 --> 01:10:21.800
Maybe that's the whole plan. Maybe I think this.

1220
01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:26.319
Is a brilliant marketing technique. Yeah, you need to see

1221
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:29.239
that movie Megan about the AI doll that goes crazy

1222
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:30.560
and starts killing people.

1223
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:31.479
Right.

1224
01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:35.600
The only problem I have with the killer like the

1225
01:10:35.680 --> 01:10:40.239
killer computerized doll genre is that it's almost always the

1226
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:44.680
same story. There's two versions of it that you could do.

1227
01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:50.159
One is that it's like cursed or possessed, and the

1228
01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:55.000
more common one is that the technology was originally developed

1229
01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:58.520
for the military, but then the contract company that made

1230
01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:01.159
it for the military lost the contractor they didn't buy

1231
01:11:01.159 --> 01:11:04.840
the software, or the software you know, got bought and shelved.

1232
01:11:04.840 --> 01:11:07.079
So now it's in a toy, but some lines of

1233
01:11:07.119 --> 01:11:09.840
code are still there that make it a killer machine.

1234
01:11:11.199 --> 01:11:13.439
One of my favorite movies that has that concept is

1235
01:11:13.439 --> 01:11:16.680
a movie called Evolver. It was a B movie from

1236
01:11:16.720 --> 01:11:20.079
the nineties starring Ethan Embry, and it has a killer

1237
01:11:20.199 --> 01:11:23.159
robot in it that it's supposed to be a robot

1238
01:11:23.159 --> 01:11:25.439
that you can play games with, like a laser tag

1239
01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:31.439
and stuff, and it shoots darts and you know, foam

1240
01:11:31.479 --> 01:11:35.319
balls and stuff, right, okay, but the machine was made

1241
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:39.279
the AI in it was originally made to be a

1242
01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:43.319
military machine. So something happens in that those code lines

1243
01:11:43.359 --> 01:11:45.680
get reactivated, so it starts trying to kill everybody in

1244
01:11:45.720 --> 01:11:49.680
the house. And one of my favorite sequences is when

1245
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:53.560
it starts, it fills it. It refills itself. Instead of

1246
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:57.119
with foam balls, it uses ball bearings, and instead of darts,

1247
01:11:57.159 --> 01:12:00.279
its kitchen knives. So like, people are like when when

1248
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:02.960
Evolver walks up and says like, you have five minutes

1249
01:12:03.079 --> 01:12:05.039
or you have five seconds to leave right now, and

1250
01:12:05.039 --> 01:12:06.760
they're like, a look at this stupid thing and then

1251
01:12:06.800 --> 01:12:08.760
shoots something and it like shatters a window. They're like,

1252
01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:10.640
what the hell? And then it kills them. It was

1253
01:12:10.680 --> 01:12:13.479
a really cool movie. I love Evolver cool, one of

1254
01:12:13.479 --> 01:12:17.840
my favorite B movies of the nineties. Margaret Gray shared quote,

1255
01:12:17.880 --> 01:12:21.560
I saw this today, creepiest thing ever. Then I saw

1256
01:12:21.600 --> 01:12:29.119
the price. Jackie Morrison asked, quote, any unsolved murders in Morningside,

1257
01:12:29.239 --> 01:12:35.199
there's your culprit, and Barry Turnbull jokingly declared, so that's

1258
01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:37.760
where baby Jane got to. That's not that good of

1259
01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:41.800
a joke. You need to rewatch baby. Jane. Aleen Findlay

1260
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:46.239
had a suggestion and said quote set fire to it immediately.

1261
01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:49.760
You know, I actually feel really bad for this doll now,

1262
01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:54.079
Oh yeah, yeah, I just it's just mean, we're just

1263
01:12:54.119 --> 01:12:57.279
like bullying this doll with all didn't do anything wrong.

1264
01:12:57.279 --> 01:12:59.119
It's just weird and scary looking.

1265
01:13:00.960 --> 01:13:03.199
I mean, we don't know that the doll did nothing wrong.

1266
01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:05.520
I don't think the doll did anything wrong.

1267
01:13:06.600 --> 01:13:08.840
Well, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be

1268
01:13:08.880 --> 01:13:23.680
back to wrap up the spooky news. And we are

1269
01:13:23.760 --> 01:13:27.640
back wrapping up the spooky news with another story from

1270
01:13:27.680 --> 01:13:32.119
the Huffington Post. And this one cell in a way,

1271
01:13:32.159 --> 01:13:33.840
doesn't really apply to either of us. This one is

1272
01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:38.239
about about cracking open a cold one and how the

1273
01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:41.560
Swedish government is opposed to people having a good time

1274
01:13:42.399 --> 01:13:47.279
yay in a way. The headline reads, Swedish officile officials

1275
01:13:47.560 --> 01:13:56.720
forbid removal of champagne bottles from nineteenth century shipwreck. Oh yeah,

1276
01:13:56.760 --> 01:14:02.359
why well, I guess I'll find out and tell you Copenhagen, Denmark,

1277
01:14:02.680 --> 01:14:04.760
no one will be allowed to fish out any of

1278
01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:09.079
the nearly one hundred bottles of nineteenth century champagne and

1279
01:14:09.159 --> 01:14:13.159
mineral water nestled in a shipwreck off the southern Sweden

1280
01:14:13.199 --> 01:14:17.880
coast without proper authorization. Official said Wednesday.

1281
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:20.920
They so you can, you just have to.

1282
01:14:23.399 --> 01:14:26.239
Yeah there. I don't know if you knew this that

1283
01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:28.720
this is actually one of the ways the richest people

1284
01:14:28.760 --> 01:14:32.439
in the world buy the rarest champagne and wine in

1285
01:14:32.479 --> 01:14:33.800
the world is from shipwrecks.

1286
01:14:34.159 --> 01:14:38.199
Wow, that's terrible. I don't like that.

1287
01:14:38.880 --> 01:14:40.920
If you think about it, the water would keep them

1288
01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:45.079
chilled and would be a perfect storage or maybe not perfect,

1289
01:14:45.079 --> 01:14:46.960
but a very good storage for them.

1290
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:51.439
Something about buying like disaster wine not my thing.

1291
01:14:52.439 --> 01:14:55.560
I think that's the best, the best business name for

1292
01:14:55.720 --> 01:14:59.960
wine ever, disaster wine. Care for another glass of disaster?

1293
01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:05.560
Don't mind if a do. Though the rec's location has

1294
01:15:05.560 --> 01:15:09.079
been known since twenty sixteen and is registered in Sweden's

1295
01:15:09.159 --> 01:15:13.279
National Antiquities Offices Cultural Environment, it was only on July

1296
01:15:13.359 --> 01:15:19.079
eleventh that Polish scuba divers found the precious cargo. Oh man,

1297
01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:22.079
there's so many Polish jokes. Hey, you know why the

1298
01:15:22.119 --> 01:15:28.399
new Polish Navy has glass bottoms on their boats so

1299
01:15:28.439 --> 01:15:32.680
they can see the old Polish Navy. Oh it's a

1300
01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:36.680
really old joke. The wreck, which sits at about fifty

1301
01:15:36.680 --> 01:15:38.960
eight meters or one hundred and ninety feet deep off

1302
01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:43.039
the coast of the southern Sweden county of Blekinge, was

1303
01:15:43.079 --> 01:15:45.640
found by the divers while they were checking spots of

1304
01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:48.760
interest about thirty seven kilometers south of the Swedish Baltic

1305
01:15:48.800 --> 01:15:54.199
Sea island of Oland. Wine and water experts have quickly

1306
01:15:54.279 --> 01:15:57.399
contacted the divers and have been vying to carry out

1307
01:15:57.439 --> 01:16:02.039
laboratory tests laboratory why I say laboratory like a dexterous

1308
01:16:02.119 --> 01:16:05.760
lab laboratory tests on the contents of the bottles. According

1309
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:10.600
to the diver's leader, Thomas Staka. However, Swedish authorities have

1310
01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:13.119
put their foot down and labeled the sunken ship an

1311
01:16:13.119 --> 01:16:17.479
ancient relic, which the country says requires quote a clear

1312
01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:20.319
and strong protection to remain intact.

1313
01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:21.600
Mm hmm.

1314
01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:25.159
Strange. Do you think that this is that it's not

1315
01:16:25.439 --> 01:16:28.199
okay to fish out the champagne bottles?

1316
01:16:28.760 --> 01:16:30.720
No, I think you could. I don't think the wreck

1317
01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:31.920
needs to stay there either.

1318
01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:37.600
Ship salvaging is a fascinating topic, by the way, Yeah,

1319
01:16:37.680 --> 01:16:41.359
because a lot of ships sunk throughout the course of

1320
01:16:41.439 --> 01:16:46.960
naval history and maritime history rather so, and and what's

1321
01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:49.039
happened I was I was reading about this a few

1322
01:16:49.079 --> 01:16:53.079
years ago. What's happened is a lot of those ships

1323
01:16:53.119 --> 01:17:03.199
belong to very specific nations aka England, Italy, China, not China, England, Italy, Portugal,

1324
01:17:03.399 --> 01:17:08.439
Space excuse me, Spain, France. And one thing that all

1325
01:17:08.479 --> 01:17:11.079
of those countries have in common as well is that

1326
01:17:11.119 --> 01:17:18.920
they're all in horrible economic shape. So when word gets

1327
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:23.239
out that there's ship, that there are shipwrecks anywhere, those

1328
01:17:23.279 --> 01:17:25.800
countries will do anything in their power to prove that

1329
01:17:25.840 --> 01:17:28.319
they have a claim to it, even so far as

1330
01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:30.960
claiming like, well, we had merchant marines on that ship,

1331
01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:34.199
or its last doc was our doc and there was

1332
01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:37.239
a claim made like. They'll literally try to claim any

1333
01:17:37.239 --> 01:17:40.760
shipwreck on any place on the planet as their own,

1334
01:17:41.319 --> 01:17:44.880
especially Spain. Spain apparently has been very big on trying

1335
01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:48.239
to claim just about any shipwreck it can because it'll

1336
01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:51.279
be filled with millions of dollars in gold, very likely,

1337
01:17:52.319 --> 01:17:55.079
so which is fascinating because maritime law used to be

1338
01:17:55.159 --> 01:17:58.600
that like any ship that shipwrecked in international waters, you

1339
01:17:58.600 --> 01:18:01.520
can pretty much just take. But now there are lawsuits

1340
01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:04.439
being filed like crazy about it all over the world.

1341
01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:08.720
And now I think if I read correctly, now, if

1342
01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:12.720
a ship was literally owned by that country, then then

1343
01:18:12.760 --> 01:18:14.960
you're not supposed to take the stuff from it anymore.

1344
01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:18.880
So if it was an independent ship that flew the

1345
01:18:18.960 --> 01:18:22.239
flag of Spain, that used to not count, but if

1346
01:18:22.239 --> 01:18:25.960
it was a Spanish naval ship that counted, and now

1347
01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:28.439
they're trying to claim it. So it's very weird how

1348
01:18:28.479 --> 01:18:30.760
the underwater law is working.

1349
01:18:31.720 --> 01:18:33.960
Yeah, I guess you could just not tell anyone when

1350
01:18:33.960 --> 01:18:34.760
you find that's.

1351
01:18:35.119 --> 01:18:38.000
That's the move, or not tell anyone until you've taken

1352
01:18:38.039 --> 01:18:42.920
all of the gold. Very popular thing. But apparently the

1353
01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:47.760
problem is the amount of money and cruise it takes

1354
01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:53.920
to find these ships. It's so expensive and such a

1355
01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:57.800
massive undertaking. You can't keep it a secret. It's impossible

1356
01:18:58.039 --> 01:19:01.399
because everybody's talking to everybody's like, oh, they're checking out

1357
01:19:01.560 --> 01:19:04.720
something over on this coast of this whatever, and everybody

1358
01:19:04.760 --> 01:19:08.439
starts talking, and so apparently it's like damn near impossible.

1359
01:19:08.439 --> 01:19:11.920
Because the salvage operation alone is insane. I think that

1360
01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:14.920
the interview I was reading, they said that they that

1361
01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:17.960
like to do with salvage operation, you have to raise

1362
01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:20.920
like a quarter of a million dollars just to go

1363
01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:21.279
do it.

1364
01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:22.159
Wow.

1365
01:19:22.159 --> 01:19:25.039
So and sometimes they get nothing, they find nothing, or

1366
01:19:25.079 --> 01:19:27.279
worse yet, they find something and then a country like

1367
01:19:27.319 --> 01:19:28.439
Spain takes it from them.

1368
01:19:29.159 --> 01:19:31.960
Huh yeah. I mean I watch a lot of like

1369
01:19:32.359 --> 01:19:35.520
Expedition Unknown, and they're always looking for stuff in the

1370
01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:39.960
water like that. So I thought it was going to

1371
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:41.039
have a point, but I do not.

1372
01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:43.680
That's okay. You just wanted to let everybody know you

1373
01:19:43.720 --> 01:19:45.039
watch Expedition Unknown.

1374
01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:45.960
I did.

1375
01:19:47.840 --> 01:19:51.000
Quote you must not damage the ancient remains, which also

1376
01:19:51.079 --> 01:19:55.239
includes taking items from the wreck, i e. Champagne bottles

1377
01:19:55.279 --> 01:20:00.000
without permission from the country. Magnus Johansson, a country officials,

1378
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:02.960
told the Associated Press, quote, the Champagne bottles are a

1379
01:20:03.000 --> 01:20:07.199
fantastically well preserved find that gives us stap shot of

1380
01:20:07.239 --> 01:20:09.279
shipping and life on board at the end of the

1381
01:20:09.319 --> 01:20:13.199
nineteenth century. He added, had the wreck been from before

1382
01:20:13.319 --> 01:20:15.960
eighteen fifty, it would automatically have been listed as an

1383
01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:20.600
ancient relic. Local authority said, but we have a quote,

1384
01:20:20.600 --> 01:20:23.119
but we have established that the cultural and historical values

1385
01:20:23.159 --> 01:20:25.520
of the wreck were so high that it should be

1386
01:20:25.560 --> 01:20:30.319
declared as an ancient relic. Stakura. The diver earlier said

1387
01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:32.920
it was believed that the cargo could have been on

1388
01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:35.720
the way to the royal table in Stockholm or the

1389
01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:39.239
Russian Czar's residence in Saint Petersburg when the ship sank

1390
01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:43.039
sometime in the second half of the nineteenth century. Okay,

1391
01:20:44.920 --> 01:20:48.119
I also want to mention apparently one of the reasons

1392
01:20:48.159 --> 01:20:51.479
there's so many shipwrecked gold that I read was that

1393
01:20:51.520 --> 01:20:55.000
I found really fascinating was because people were getting held

1394
01:20:55.039 --> 01:20:59.119
for ransoms and countries all over the world, and people

1395
01:20:59.119 --> 01:21:03.399
would especially hold ransom kings from smaller nations like in

1396
01:21:03.439 --> 01:21:06.279
South America and stuff like that, and they'd be like,

1397
01:21:06.279 --> 01:21:08.319
we need this gold or we're going to kill your prints.

1398
01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:10.760
So they would literally get a boat together and fill

1399
01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:12.760
it with gold as fast as they could, and it's

1400
01:21:12.800 --> 01:21:15.880
said that sometimes those boats would literally sink before they

1401
01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:19.560
were out of your eyesight. Wow, because they were rushed

1402
01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:22.960
so badly and so poorly prepared, they would just sink

1403
01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:28.239
and there was no technology to retrieve them anyway.

1404
01:21:28.560 --> 01:21:29.039
Wow.

1405
01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:33.239
For our last story here on Monthly Spooky, we have

1406
01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:40.039
another mirror dot co dot UK. Explorers visit Britain's most

1407
01:21:40.119 --> 01:21:44.880
haunted school and are left terrified by what they find.

1408
01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:48.920
Of course they are, you're gonna love this school. Let

1409
01:21:48.960 --> 01:21:52.479
me show you a picture. Oh that's pretty cool, and

1410
01:21:52.520 --> 01:21:55.560
they got it with like storm clouds behind the bitchen.

1411
01:21:56.319 --> 01:21:58.279
Yeah that is a cool school.

1412
01:21:58.399 --> 01:22:03.520
Baby. They also oh, sorry, got ahead of myself. A

1413
01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:06.600
group of ghost hunters were left petrified after visiting Britain's

1414
01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:09.560
most haunted school. Tony Ferguson and his friends were left

1415
01:22:09.640 --> 01:22:13.279
unnerved after hearing whistling and footsteps in the former classrooms

1416
01:22:13.359 --> 01:22:16.960
of the abandoned boarding building or boarding school. They also

1417
01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:21.399
reported hearing children's voices uttering hey and yeah in the corridors.

1418
01:22:21.560 --> 01:22:26.119
The children were rob zombie, hey, hey, hey, yeah.

1419
01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:32.560
Okay, I was gonna say hey yeah, like hey, we're millennials.

1420
01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:37.039
Such millennials. Tony thirty nine, also a millennial, visited George

1421
01:22:37.119 --> 01:22:40.600
Jarvis School with fellow investigators Bev Ferguson, Sue Robinson, Adam

1422
01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:44.000
Clark and Paul Sizel. The school, which catered to less

1423
01:22:44.039 --> 01:22:49.279
fortunate families, is located in Staunton, oh Why, Herefordshire, Herefordshire.

1424
01:22:49.520 --> 01:22:51.920
It opened its doors in eighteen sixty two, but was

1425
01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:55.880
closed in twenty ten after briefly serving as a youth hostel.

1426
01:22:57.560 --> 01:22:59.479
It looked older than that to me, but that's because

1427
01:22:59.479 --> 01:23:01.640
we're getting old though. Like if if you watch a

1428
01:23:01.640 --> 01:23:04.039
movie from two thousand right now, that's the same as

1429
01:23:04.039 --> 01:23:06.479
watching a movie from nineteen eighty in two thousand, Like

1430
01:23:06.520 --> 01:23:11.600
it's thanks, it's yeah, yeah, you're welcome. Tony and his

1431
01:23:11.640 --> 01:23:14.640
team decided to investigate the school following numerous reports of

1432
01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:18.039
paranormal activity. Tony said, quote, this is known as the

1433
01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:21.600
most haunted school in the United Kingdom. As there are

1434
01:23:21.720 --> 01:23:23.800
very few schools that can be booked out as a

1435
01:23:23.880 --> 01:23:28.720
venue for investigators, we knew we had to visit. Tony,

1436
01:23:28.760 --> 01:23:31.359
who works as a personal trainer during the day, has

1437
01:23:31.399 --> 01:23:35.159
been hunting ghosts for sixteen years. He added, quote, We

1438
01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:37.119
did not want to know the history of the school,

1439
01:23:37.319 --> 01:23:39.479
but wanted to go in blind to see for ourselves

1440
01:23:39.479 --> 01:23:40.960
what we would encounter in the evening.

1441
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:45.399
Unfortunately, they already know it's like the most haunted school,

1442
01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:48.800
so that kind of informs that a little bit.

1443
01:23:48.880 --> 01:23:53.239
But sure kind of buries the lead there. But at

1444
01:23:53.359 --> 01:23:56.920
least he's a personal trainer. That's good. You know, push, go, go,

1445
01:23:57.279 --> 01:23:59.600
one more rep, one more rep. I believe in ghosts.

1446
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:06.159
What you're doing great, thank you. Quote. During our investigation,

1447
01:24:06.319 --> 01:24:09.039
we heard children's voices in the cellar and in the

1448
01:24:09.119 --> 01:24:11.560
upper rooms of the school, which we all heard. We

1449
01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:13.800
heard loud footsteps in one of the rooms with us.

1450
01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:15.880
The room next to us, which was locked off to

1451
01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:20.840
the public, we heard the same loud footsteps walking around.

1452
01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:25.039
I mean, could it have been their own footsteps echoing?

1453
01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:29.520
Were they walking when they heard the footsteps?

1454
01:24:31.239 --> 01:24:33.640
No, here's a picture of them for you. Cell Like,

1455
01:24:33.880 --> 01:24:38.319
there's a tunnel and here's a room that looks a

1456
01:24:38.319 --> 01:24:39.000
little beat up.

1457
01:24:39.560 --> 01:24:41.760
Yeah, guys just sitting on the floor.

1458
01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:45.319
Yeap, this place doesn't look nearly as decrepit as I

1459
01:24:45.359 --> 01:24:45.800
was hoping.

1460
01:24:46.239 --> 01:24:51.000
Yeah, sorry, fine quote.

1461
01:24:51.079 --> 01:24:54.920
We also heard some strange noises, taps and bangs throughout

1462
01:24:54.960 --> 01:24:57.359
the evening that we could not find a source for.

1463
01:24:57.960 --> 01:24:59.880
We tried to find an explanation for a lot of

1464
01:24:59.880 --> 01:25:02.279
the these things, but we're unable to. I'm gonna call

1465
01:25:02.319 --> 01:25:04.600
it right now. He's cheating on his girlfriend.

1466
01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:09.880
Probably and she's like fighting in the school, and that's

1467
01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:12.840
gonna be my go to answer to all problems now.

1468
01:25:13.319 --> 01:25:19.760
Cheating another significant other, Tony aka the Ghost Whisperer of Lymington,

1469
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:24.079
Hampshire said quote. I went in expecting nothing, but was

1470
01:25:24.159 --> 01:25:27.279
quite shocked by what we encountered, as was the team.

1471
01:25:27.359 --> 01:25:30.199
I would easily put this among my top locations in

1472
01:25:30.239 --> 01:25:36.560
the country, as there were so many things I cannot explain. Yeah,

1473
01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:38.680
I still think one day we should run a Kickstarter

1474
01:25:38.720 --> 01:25:40.439
for you and me to visit like the ten most

1475
01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:44.600
haunted places in America. It's gotta be cool, so we

1476
01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:46.640
could sit there and be stupid.

1477
01:25:47.239 --> 01:25:47.680
Yeah.

1478
01:25:48.199 --> 01:25:50.840
Oh, I would be a nightmare. I would be so annoying.

1479
01:25:51.119 --> 01:25:52.960
I mean I already am, so why would I be

1480
01:25:53.000 --> 01:25:57.319
any different? But uh, all right, Well, before we wrap

1481
01:25:57.439 --> 01:25:59.880
up the spooky news and head into our topic for

1482
01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:03.720
this month, Shelle, what are your thoughts about the moon?

1483
01:26:05.920 --> 01:26:13.640
It is a large rock thing that is in the

1484
01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:17.359
gravity of the Earth sort of, so it like stays

1485
01:26:18.039 --> 01:26:25.159
and like affects the tides. It makes tides basically, and

1486
01:26:27.319 --> 01:26:30.840
there's some people on it. Well that's like my thoughts currently,

1487
01:26:32.039 --> 01:26:37.560
No in the past, okay, And also apparently it's getting

1488
01:26:37.560 --> 01:26:39.399
further away and I'm scared.

1489
01:26:39.680 --> 01:26:43.760
Yeah, it's slowly drifting along. I don't like that, very slowly.

1490
01:26:43.880 --> 01:26:45.520
But one day it won't be here anymore.

1491
01:26:46.479 --> 01:26:48.640
Do you like the moon aesthetically.

1492
01:26:49.359 --> 01:26:51.680
Yes, I like it esthetically.

1493
01:26:52.399 --> 01:26:53.880
Like when you see a big full moon, do you

1494
01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:55.239
stop and get a good look at it?

1495
01:26:55.720 --> 01:26:58.880
Yes, I do. It's very pretty.

1496
01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:06.560
Hmmm, well, Cille, I just double checked. The moon is

1497
01:27:07.000 --> 01:27:10.800
going one point five inches away from the Earth per year.

1498
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:12.119
That's a lot of inches.

1499
01:27:13.239 --> 01:27:14.560
That's not even two inches.

1500
01:27:15.000 --> 01:27:18.199
That's so, But think about it, like every year when

1501
01:27:18.239 --> 01:27:20.840
you look at the moon, it's smaller.

1502
01:27:21.039 --> 01:27:23.159
But that means one hundred years will be one hundred

1503
01:27:23.199 --> 01:27:24.319
and fifty inches.

1504
01:27:25.279 --> 01:27:32.279
That's like, I don't know, that's a lot of thumbs.

1505
01:27:33.560 --> 01:27:39.920
That that is twelve point five feet. That's that's that far.

1506
01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:46.720
That's in one hundred and fifty years. Okay to say

1507
01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:51.239
it's that's pretty slow, all right. Well, a lot of

1508
01:27:51.279 --> 01:27:53.560
people have a lot of theories about the moon. And

1509
01:27:53.800 --> 01:27:56.479
after this break, we're going to dive into the seven

1510
01:27:57.319 --> 01:28:02.319
unusual myths and theories about the Moon right after this

1511
01:28:10.680 --> 01:28:14.039
and we are back, and it's time to talk a

1512
01:28:14.079 --> 01:28:17.560
little bit about that big white orb in the sky

1513
01:28:18.359 --> 01:28:25.560
that's slowly drifting away, very slowly. Michelle, Michelle, in your lifetime,

1514
01:28:25.640 --> 01:28:27.880
the moon will have not moved so far away that

1515
01:28:27.920 --> 01:28:30.159
you could jump up and touch it. If you were like,

1516
01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:31.439
if it was your ceiling.

1517
01:28:32.640 --> 01:28:34.640
But it's going the other direction.

1518
01:28:36.319 --> 01:28:37.640
What's going away?

1519
01:28:38.319 --> 01:28:40.279
Yeah, I'm saying, I see what you mean.

1520
01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:43.359
Yeah, like it's gonna in your entire lifetime. It'll move

1521
01:28:43.439 --> 01:28:46.760
like eight feet. You could probably jump and touch that almost.

1522
01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:48.680
I don't think so.

1523
01:28:50.239 --> 01:28:53.800
Well, you are short, I'll give you that. So I

1524
01:28:53.880 --> 01:28:56.520
thought it'd be fun to talk about the moon because

1525
01:28:56.920 --> 01:29:02.680
we have a lot of interesting moon phases in a

1526
01:29:02.720 --> 01:29:06.720
September and October. Like, let's see, the Harvest moon is

1527
01:29:06.800 --> 01:29:11.680
the Harvest moon is September eighteenth, so you know, stuff

1528
01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:14.079
like that, the Harvest Moon's blood moons, stuff like that.

1529
01:29:14.119 --> 01:29:15.840
I just thought it'd be fun to talk about it.

1530
01:29:16.119 --> 01:29:18.520
I feel like there's like three supermoons coming up.

1531
01:29:19.199 --> 01:29:22.199
Ooh, when is next super moon.

1532
01:29:22.520 --> 01:29:24.319
I think it's in September.

1533
01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:26.640
September seventeenth, right before the Harvest moon.

1534
01:29:27.199 --> 01:29:32.680
Yay, that's so cool. October, and maybe one in November. Yeah.

1535
01:29:32.720 --> 01:29:35.000
So I thought it'd be fun to talk about myths

1536
01:29:35.039 --> 01:29:38.239
and theories about the moon because you know, we've all

1537
01:29:38.279 --> 01:29:41.039
heard about like werewolves being affected by the moon. We've

1538
01:29:41.039 --> 01:29:43.159
heard the stories. I'm sure that this will touch on

1539
01:29:43.199 --> 01:29:46.000
it a little bit about the idea that like crime

1540
01:29:46.119 --> 01:29:48.760
goes up during a full moon and stuff like that.

1541
01:29:50.079 --> 01:29:52.760
So I went to one of the best sources of

1542
01:29:52.760 --> 01:29:59.039
information there ever has been history dot Com, and I

1543
01:29:59.119 --> 01:30:02.479
found their list of seven unusual myths and theories about

1544
01:30:02.520 --> 01:30:09.039
the moon. So the first myth is that full moons

1545
01:30:09.439 --> 01:30:14.000
make you crazy. Okay, So do you find yourself to

1546
01:30:14.039 --> 01:30:15.439
be crazy during full moons?

1547
01:30:15.840 --> 01:30:18.279
I don't even usually know when the full moon is.

1548
01:30:18.439 --> 01:30:19.720
So how do you not know?

1549
01:30:19.960 --> 01:30:20.720
You don't look up?

1550
01:30:21.600 --> 01:30:23.840
Well, I don't all I can't always see the moon

1551
01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:26.800
because sometimes the moon is out in the day, sometimes

1552
01:30:26.840 --> 01:30:32.000
behind a tree. Yeah, so I don't know.

1553
01:30:32.159 --> 01:30:34.399
But most of the time it's in the sky, like

1554
01:30:34.600 --> 01:30:35.399
really high up.

1555
01:30:36.720 --> 01:30:40.199
No, but but not always when I'm looking. It's like

1556
01:30:40.279 --> 01:30:41.840
over my house. I can't see it.

1557
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.319
What do you have against the moon that you don't

1558
01:30:46.359 --> 01:30:47.279
look up and see it?

1559
01:30:47.800 --> 01:30:51.319
I do. I just it's just not always there. Sometimes

1560
01:30:51.359 --> 01:30:52.600
the sign and.

1561
01:30:52.520 --> 01:30:54.800
It says maybe you were the one who wasn't there

1562
01:30:54.920 --> 01:30:55.520
for the moon.

1563
01:30:56.399 --> 01:30:57.920
I mean maybe.

1564
01:30:59.439 --> 01:31:03.000
Since ain't times Full moons have been associated with odd

1565
01:31:03.159 --> 01:31:10.840
or insane behavior, including sleepwalking, suicide, illegal activity, fits of violence,

1566
01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:16.840
and of course, transforming into werewolves. Yeah, indeed, the words

1567
01:31:16.840 --> 01:31:20.560
a lunacy and lunatic come from the Roman goddess of

1568
01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:24.159
the moon, Luna, who was said to ride her silver

1569
01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:27.119
chariot across the dark night sky each night.

1570
01:31:27.760 --> 01:31:29.880
Okay, do you.

1571
01:31:29.840 --> 01:31:32.960
Ever wonder when you read about like ancient mythology of gods,

1572
01:31:33.000 --> 01:31:35.399
like if it really was like they described and things

1573
01:31:35.479 --> 01:31:38.439
are just like boring and lame now because you like

1574
01:31:38.479 --> 01:31:40.039
read about it. It's like, oh, and then a chariot

1575
01:31:40.039 --> 01:31:42.720
went across the sky and fired at this and I'm like, okay,

1576
01:31:42.800 --> 01:31:45.720
like the sky's just blue and then it's black and

1577
01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:49.399
then it's blue again. Yeah, what we get here?

1578
01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:53.079
Yeah? Yeah, it probably was just really cool back then.

1579
01:31:53.640 --> 01:31:57.359
And then first I don't know, I can't think of

1580
01:31:57.399 --> 01:31:59.479
a good reason that it changed, but did.

1581
01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:04.079
Like you read about like old spell casting stuff, and

1582
01:32:04.119 --> 01:32:06.840
it's like everybody was a witch and a demon and

1583
01:32:06.840 --> 01:32:10.720
they were casting spells and changing things and monsters were

1584
01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:13.600
attacking and now it's just not it just doesn't happen anymore.

1585
01:32:13.880 --> 01:32:17.800
Yeah. Yeah, I think maybe we just lost the magic

1586
01:32:18.319 --> 01:32:24.720
and like in our hearts and oh, yeah, you're making

1587
01:32:24.760 --> 01:32:28.199
me so sad, that's what happened. Like we don't believe

1588
01:32:28.199 --> 01:32:30.319
in any of that stuff, so it no longer exists.

1589
01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:32.880
Oh, that's it's not that we don't believe in it

1590
01:32:32.920 --> 01:32:39.720
because it's not happening. No, I apologize for even making

1591
01:32:39.760 --> 01:32:40.439
the suggestion.

1592
01:32:40.880 --> 01:32:41.359
Geez.

1593
01:32:42.359 --> 01:32:46.359
For thousands of years, doctors and mental health professionals believed

1594
01:32:46.359 --> 01:32:51.319
in a strong connection between mania and the moon. Hippocrates,

1595
01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:54.199
considered the father of modern medicine, wrote in the fifth

1596
01:32:54.239 --> 01:32:57.960
century BC that quote, one who is seized with terror,

1597
01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:01.399
fright and madness during the night is being visited by

1598
01:33:01.399 --> 01:33:05.399
the goddess of the moon. Sounds totally insane.

1599
01:33:05.880 --> 01:33:07.119
Yeah.

1600
01:33:07.199 --> 01:33:11.239
In eighteenth century England, people on trial for murder could

1601
01:33:11.279 --> 01:33:14.760
campaign campaign for a lighter sentence on the grounds of

1602
01:33:14.840 --> 01:33:18.079
lunacy if the crime occurred under a full moon.

1603
01:33:19.439 --> 01:33:23.479
That would give credence to more crimes being committed during

1604
01:33:23.479 --> 01:33:25.439
a full moon, because you want a time.

1605
01:33:26.079 --> 01:33:28.880
Yeah, that's a really good point. Like, if you're gonna

1606
01:33:28.920 --> 01:33:32.319
kill your boss, wait till the full moon. Yeah, claim lunacy.

1607
01:33:35.239 --> 01:33:40.239
I like that. Meanwhile, psychiatric patients at London's Bethlehem Hospital

1608
01:33:40.439 --> 01:33:43.680
were shackled and flogged as a preventative measure during certain

1609
01:33:43.720 --> 01:33:47.800
lunar phases. They would shackle and beat them ahead of

1610
01:33:47.840 --> 01:33:48.800
them misbehaving.

1611
01:33:49.319 --> 01:33:53.199
Wow, well you gotta make sure they don't. This is

1612
01:33:53.199 --> 01:33:55.479
what will happen if you do again.

1613
01:33:57.520 --> 01:34:02.159
Even today, despite studies discredit the hypothesis, some people think

1614
01:34:02.199 --> 01:34:07.640
full moons make every day or everyone a little looney.

1615
01:34:08.720 --> 01:34:12.439
I have heard that the reason for full moons, that

1616
01:34:12.520 --> 01:34:14.000
for a lot of the beliefs of full moons is

1617
01:34:14.039 --> 01:34:18.520
simply because the night is brighter. Therefore, like predators are

1618
01:34:18.560 --> 01:34:21.880
out more to hunt, and bad people would be more

1619
01:34:21.960 --> 01:34:23.720
likely to be out at night to commit crimes when

1620
01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:26.279
there's just more light to see.

1621
01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:28.199
I mean, I think that really only works if you

1622
01:34:28.279 --> 01:34:31.920
live somewhere with the bad people where it's really dark,

1623
01:34:32.039 --> 01:34:34.000
because like that really doesn't work in like a city

1624
01:34:34.119 --> 01:34:34.520
or something.

1625
01:34:34.680 --> 01:34:37.840
Oh, I'm talking before cities even existed. Oh ok, I'm

1626
01:34:37.840 --> 01:34:41.199
talking like like like that. This this was ingrained in

1627
01:34:41.279 --> 01:34:44.760
us from like, you know, twenty thousand years ago, fifty

1628
01:34:44.800 --> 01:34:45.880
thousand years ago something.

1629
01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:47.159
Okay, I could see that.

1630
01:34:48.560 --> 01:34:51.720
Number two aliens inhabit the moon.

1631
01:34:52.760 --> 01:34:53.159
They do.

1632
01:34:54.680 --> 01:34:55.520
Oh you believe in this?

1633
01:34:56.000 --> 01:34:56.399
Sure?

1634
01:34:57.119 --> 01:35:02.039
Nice. In the eighteen twenties, the Bavarian astronomer astronomer Franz

1635
01:35:02.119 --> 01:35:06.760
von Paula Gruttenstein. Of course, that's how the name claimed

1636
01:35:06.760 --> 01:35:10.039
to have glimpsed entire cities on the Moon with his telescope.

1637
01:35:10.439 --> 01:35:10.960
Wow.

1638
01:35:11.199 --> 01:35:13.279
I just imagine He's like, Wow, there's entire cities. Can

1639
01:35:13.279 --> 01:35:13.960
I see? Uh?

1640
01:35:14.119 --> 01:35:14.239
Uh?

1641
01:35:14.359 --> 01:35:15.920
You look, I don't see anything. He's like, oh, you

1642
01:35:16.319 --> 01:35:16.880
just missed it.

1643
01:35:17.359 --> 01:35:19.239
Yeah.

1644
01:35:19.359 --> 01:35:22.800
He wrote that the lunarians who lived there had built

1645
01:35:22.840 --> 01:35:25.520
sophisticated buildings, roads, and forts.

1646
01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:26.640
Wow.

1647
01:35:27.399 --> 01:35:31.000
Most of his colleagues scoffed at his assertation, but he

1648
01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:37.279
eventually got a small lunar crater named after him. Maybe

1649
01:35:37.319 --> 01:35:39.960
staring at the Moon for too long does make you insane.

1650
01:35:40.479 --> 01:35:43.600
I mean, I don't think he's insane. He got he

1651
01:35:43.680 --> 01:35:46.279
got like a place in history. He got a crater

1652
01:35:46.439 --> 01:35:49.199
named after him. That's pretty savvy.

1653
01:35:49.840 --> 01:35:53.079
The proof is in the pudding. Huh yeah, the moon pudding.

1654
01:35:53.640 --> 01:35:56.319
Yeah.

1655
01:35:56.439 --> 01:36:00.880
Sir William Herschel, a prominent British astronomer and composed also

1656
01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:04.079
thought aliens lived on the Moon and made regular observations

1657
01:36:04.079 --> 01:36:07.960
about the progress of their construction projects. In eighteen thirty five,

1658
01:36:08.000 --> 01:36:10.760
when The New York Sun published a series of fraudulent

1659
01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:13.880
articles about the supposed existence of life on the Moon,

1660
01:36:14.199 --> 01:36:17.399
pulling off the so called Great Moon Hoax, it falsely

1661
01:36:17.479 --> 01:36:21.000
credited Herschel's son John, a famous astronomer in his own right,

1662
01:36:21.319 --> 01:36:22.760
with the shocking discovery.

1663
01:36:23.760 --> 01:36:25.840
Wow, I'd be pissed.

1664
01:36:26.600 --> 01:36:27.760
I'd be very mad.

1665
01:36:28.239 --> 01:36:29.159
Yeah.

1666
01:36:29.199 --> 01:36:33.119
I was actually just reading a book about how newspapers started,

1667
01:36:33.359 --> 01:36:36.199
and it mentioned the Sun because it was the first

1668
01:36:36.239 --> 01:36:39.319
newspaper that was priced so anyone could afford to buy it.

1669
01:36:39.319 --> 01:36:42.520
It was a penny in issue. And while it was

1670
01:36:42.560 --> 01:36:45.079
like a wonderful thing for journalism, there was a lot

1671
01:36:45.159 --> 01:36:51.920
of lying because it was like the number one entertainment

1672
01:36:52.000 --> 01:36:55.920
for the average person, so they were not afraid to

1673
01:36:56.039 --> 01:36:58.439
stretch things a little bit to make sure that their

1674
01:36:58.479 --> 01:37:01.079
readers were happy. Daily.

1675
01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:03.760
Yeah, I don't know if your readers are really happy

1676
01:37:03.800 --> 01:37:05.600
if you're lying to them, but sure.

1677
01:37:05.399 --> 01:37:09.800
Well, how are they gonna find out that's true until

1678
01:37:09.800 --> 01:37:11.239
you print it in the Sun and they're like, wow,

1679
01:37:11.479 --> 01:37:13.960
thanks for letting me know about these liars the Sun.

1680
01:37:14.359 --> 01:37:15.680
Who was it that lied to me again?

1681
01:37:15.800 --> 01:37:15.920
Uh?

1682
01:37:16.079 --> 01:37:27.359
We forget number three? The moon controls fertility, right? I

1683
01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:28.439
have heard this.

1684
01:37:28.399 --> 01:37:32.960
One, I guess I have. Yeah.

1685
01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:37.399
Perhaps because the menstrul and lunar cycles are similar in length,

1686
01:37:37.840 --> 01:37:41.800
many early civilizations believe that the moon determined when women

1687
01:37:41.880 --> 01:37:46.960
could become pregnant. H that's true. Once a month, full moon,

1688
01:37:47.039 --> 01:37:48.680
once a month menstrual cycle.

1689
01:37:49.079 --> 01:37:51.640
Yeah, I'm sure sometimes they line up. You know.

1690
01:37:52.560 --> 01:37:56.039
Imagine being a werewolf and your menstrual cycle lines up

1691
01:37:56.039 --> 01:37:58.000
with the full moon, like that is just not a

1692
01:37:58.000 --> 01:37:58.520
good time.

1693
01:37:58.880 --> 01:38:00.199
No, not at all.

1694
01:38:01.439 --> 01:38:06.479
In later years, one of the most famous modern werewolf

1695
01:38:06.520 --> 01:38:08.760
movies a movie called Ginger Snaps, which if you haven't

1696
01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:11.960
seen it, Shelley, you really need to watch it. It's

1697
01:38:12.039 --> 01:38:14.640
basically it's about a young woman who gets bitten by

1698
01:38:14.640 --> 01:38:18.640
a werewolf in high school and she starts becoming a werewolf.

1699
01:38:20.000 --> 01:38:22.279
And part of the effect of becoming a werewolf is,

1700
01:38:22.279 --> 01:38:24.119
you know, obviously turning into werewolf in a full moon,

1701
01:38:24.560 --> 01:38:29.760
but also she becomes very sexual, very but like the

1702
01:38:29.840 --> 01:38:32.479
sexual sexuality is like very intense. But then when the

1703
01:38:32.479 --> 01:38:35.239
full moon happens, she eats the people that she is

1704
01:38:35.439 --> 01:38:40.039
interested in. And I thought it was a brilliant, truly

1705
01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:46.960
brilliant metaphor for getting your menstrual cycle. That it makes

1706
01:38:46.960 --> 01:38:49.520
you act a little differently. It comes once a month,

1707
01:38:49.880 --> 01:38:53.920
it's a part of becoming older. Your parents are kind

1708
01:38:53.960 --> 01:38:58.000
of in denial about it, you know, likest I thought

1709
01:38:58.039 --> 01:39:02.239
it was a fascinating way to look at it. Huh okay, Well,

1710
01:39:02.319 --> 01:39:04.399
the biggest reason that I thought that was the case

1711
01:39:04.479 --> 01:39:07.800
was because when she's first found discovered after werewolfing out,

1712
01:39:07.880 --> 01:39:09.840
she's just like covered in blood and scared. And I

1713
01:39:09.840 --> 01:39:15.359
was like, sounds like, you know, a metaphor.

1714
01:39:15.760 --> 01:39:18.960
I mean, I'm not usually covered in blood and scared

1715
01:39:19.039 --> 01:39:20.159
when I get my period.

1716
01:39:20.239 --> 01:39:25.960
But well, maybe you're doing it wrong, sosible. This could

1717
01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:29.279
explain why female moon deities, from the Chinese goddess Changi

1718
01:39:29.439 --> 01:39:32.960
to Mama Kiro of the Incas figures so prominently in

1719
01:39:33.000 --> 01:39:36.199
mythologies from around the world. In the nineteen fifties, the

1720
01:39:36.199 --> 01:39:41.159
Czech doctor Czech doctor Eugene Jonas stumbled across an ancient

1721
01:39:41.239 --> 01:39:46.119
Assyrian astrological text stating that women are fertile during certain

1722
01:39:46.159 --> 01:39:49.800
phases of the moon. He based an entire family planning

1723
01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:53.600
method on this hypothesis, telling his patients they ovulated when

1724
01:39:53.640 --> 01:39:56.920
the moon was in the same position as they were born.

1725
01:39:57.920 --> 01:39:58.359
Huh.

1726
01:39:58.560 --> 01:40:04.479
Interesting, it is, It is very interesting. Let's see what's

1727
01:40:04.520 --> 01:40:10.319
the next one. Sorry, an ad popped up and startled me,

1728
01:40:10.479 --> 01:40:13.199
and then luckily you couldn't hear it, but it was

1729
01:40:13.239 --> 01:40:15.800
in my headphone started blasting with a capital one ad

1730
01:40:16.159 --> 01:40:18.760
thanks a lot, capital one. What's what's in my wallet?

1731
01:40:19.000 --> 01:40:25.560
I don't know, but you're a pain in my ass. Uh,

1732
01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:27.680
telling his patients they ovulated when the moon was in

1733
01:40:27.720 --> 01:40:32.960
the same position as when they were born. Okay. According

1734
01:40:33.000 --> 01:40:36.239
to another theory that persists to this day, full moons

1735
01:40:36.239 --> 01:40:39.760
can cause an uptick in berths, flooding maternity wards with

1736
01:40:39.840 --> 01:40:43.039
mothers to be in labor. Recent studies have turned up

1737
01:40:43.079 --> 01:40:47.199
little statistical evidence for moon induced baby booms. However, the

1738
01:40:47.640 --> 01:40:53.399
most experts think any lunar effect on procreation is imagined.

1739
01:40:53.640 --> 01:40:57.720
Yeah, I mean sounds like that's what we're saying something.

1740
01:40:58.199 --> 01:41:01.199
It kind of it kind of seems like it. I

1741
01:41:01.199 --> 01:41:05.880
don't know, man, I don't know. I do think that

1742
01:41:05.960 --> 01:41:09.000
since there's a reproductive cycle and a lunar cycle, it

1743
01:41:09.039 --> 01:41:11.119
makes sense for people to try to combine them in

1744
01:41:11.159 --> 01:41:14.199
the early days of science and things like that. But

1745
01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:17.239
the guy who just imagined that there were cities on

1746
01:41:17.319 --> 01:41:19.439
the moon and just telling people that that was a

1747
01:41:19.439 --> 01:41:20.840
little strange, Well.

1748
01:41:20.640 --> 01:41:22.960
I mean, I'm more worried about the guy who well,

1749
01:41:23.000 --> 01:41:26.159
I'm probably he's just a liar. But the guy was like, oh,

1750
01:41:26.199 --> 01:41:29.359
there's like they're building stuff on the Moon and I'm

1751
01:41:29.399 --> 01:41:33.359
tracking their progress. Sure, sure, sure you are, buddy.

1752
01:41:33.600 --> 01:41:39.960
Sure you're doing a great job too, buddy, great job. Pal. Well,

1753
01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:41.680
we're going to take a quick break and we'll get

1754
01:41:41.720 --> 01:41:44.319
back to the rest of these seven unusual myths and

1755
01:41:44.399 --> 01:41:56.640
theories about the Moon. And we have returned and we're

1756
01:41:56.680 --> 01:42:01.119
talking all about myths and theories of the Moon. This

1757
01:42:01.319 --> 01:42:03.399
fourth one, cell, I don't know if you've ever heard

1758
01:42:03.399 --> 01:42:06.359
about this one, but this is one of my favorite

1759
01:42:06.359 --> 01:42:11.319
moon conspiracies. Yeah, other than the one about Nazis living

1760
01:42:11.319 --> 01:42:15.600
on the Moon, which which is in this list. Don't worry,

1761
01:42:15.640 --> 01:42:19.399
we'll get to it. But this one is the Moon

1762
01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:25.560
is a hollow spacecraft, right, Yeah, so you've heard about that.

1763
01:42:25.520 --> 01:42:27.640
One, I guess. So. Yeah.

1764
01:42:27.720 --> 01:42:31.479
There's a movie that came out of action movie science

1765
01:42:31.479 --> 01:42:33.960
fiction action movie a couple of years ago called Moonfall,

1766
01:42:34.640 --> 01:42:37.199
which is about the Moon basically colliding with Earth and

1767
01:42:37.239 --> 01:42:42.840
destroying us. Yeah, and it sounds stupid as hell, like,

1768
01:42:42.880 --> 01:42:45.000
it sounds so dumb, like why would the Moon collide

1769
01:42:45.039 --> 01:42:48.880
with Earth? But the film is actually really fun and

1770
01:42:48.920 --> 01:42:52.479
it delves massively into the hollow moon theory and the

1771
01:42:52.520 --> 01:42:55.279
idea that the Moon is a spacecraft, to the point

1772
01:42:55.279 --> 01:42:57.920
where I actually really liked that movie. I thought it

1773
01:42:57.960 --> 01:42:59.960
was really fun cool.

1774
01:43:00.119 --> 01:43:02.800
I mean, it's kind of like gerin Lagon, because remember

1775
01:43:03.000 --> 01:43:06.680
the moon was moon for a while. Yeah, rah rah

1776
01:43:06.680 --> 01:43:08.840
fight the power. Yeah, and it was going to hit

1777
01:43:08.880 --> 01:43:11.119
into the planet and kill everyone. Yeah.

1778
01:43:11.359 --> 01:43:14.880
Okay, so okay, Moonfall anger on Lagan. I like it.

1779
01:43:15.199 --> 01:43:16.399
When didn't we all come out?

1780
01:43:16.399 --> 01:43:18.560
Did you say, uh, two years ago?

1781
01:43:18.920 --> 01:43:19.960
Okay, so they stole it?

1782
01:43:20.039 --> 01:43:21.039
Okay, yeah, for sure.

1783
01:43:21.279 --> 01:43:21.479
Good.

1784
01:43:22.760 --> 01:43:26.199
Several science fiction books of the early twentieth century, including H. G.

1785
01:43:26.399 --> 01:43:29.239
Wells The First Men in the Moon, take place within

1786
01:43:29.279 --> 01:43:33.920
a hollow moon inhabited by aliens. In nineteen seventy two,

1787
01:43:33.960 --> 01:43:37.880
Soviet scientists took this seemingly whimsical premise a step further,

1788
01:43:38.039 --> 01:43:41.840
proposing that the Moon is actually a shell like alien

1789
01:43:41.880 --> 01:43:47.239
spacecraft built by extraterrestrials with superior technology and intelligence.

1790
01:43:47.600 --> 01:43:50.520
They have to build a thing that looks like the Moon.

1791
01:43:51.239 --> 01:43:53.399
Yeah, it was exactly what I was about to say.

1792
01:43:53.399 --> 01:43:56.039
That's why I started laughing. I was literally not saying

1793
01:43:56.039 --> 01:43:58.840
they'd have to be what they'd have to be. Yeah,

1794
01:43:58.880 --> 01:44:02.960
you'd think, right, you're sitting over it's nineteen seventy year old.

1795
01:44:03.000 --> 01:44:07.039
It's like we sent we sent one spacecraft into a sky.

1796
01:44:07.800 --> 01:44:13.439
Must be better than us, I suppose. According to astronomers,

1797
01:44:13.479 --> 01:44:17.800
the Moon, though admittedly enigmatic as far as celestial bodies go,

1798
01:44:18.279 --> 01:44:22.239
couldn't maintain its mass and gravitational field if it lacked

1799
01:44:22.479 --> 01:44:23.680
a dense core.

1800
01:44:24.760 --> 01:44:27.960
Well what if it was made out of like the

1801
01:44:28.159 --> 01:44:31.720
densest material in the universe. So even though it was

1802
01:44:31.760 --> 01:44:34.399
hollow on the inside, it was so.

1803
01:44:35.960 --> 01:44:40.760
You know that that thing I think in moonfall, what

1804
01:44:40.920 --> 01:44:42.680
was in the center of the Moon was some kind

1805
01:44:42.720 --> 01:44:47.720
of a gravitational generator, like power generator. Okay, So it

1806
01:44:47.760 --> 01:44:49.880
was it was like like kind of like a black hole,

1807
01:44:50.279 --> 01:44:53.000
something that although it's not very big, has an incredible

1808
01:44:53.039 --> 01:44:55.920
amount of force behind it, Okay, and that's what gave

1809
01:44:55.960 --> 01:44:58.720
the Moon its ability to pull things and blah.

1810
01:44:58.479 --> 01:45:00.840
Blah blah blah blah. So basically, what what you're saying

1811
01:45:00.920 --> 01:45:03.840
is it's absolutely possible that the Moon is a hollow thing.

1812
01:45:04.319 --> 01:45:09.399
This is one hundred percent possible and probably happening. Yes, yes,

1813
01:45:10.199 --> 01:45:13.199
I am eighty percent certain that, I am absolutely certain

1814
01:45:13.439 --> 01:45:19.640
the moon is all right. Number five is oh, well,

1815
01:45:19.680 --> 01:45:21.520
this one, I know you've heard of, because we've all

1816
01:45:21.560 --> 01:45:24.840
heard about this one that we never really went to

1817
01:45:24.920 --> 01:45:27.520
the moon at all, right, right, right, that we faked

1818
01:45:27.520 --> 01:45:31.199
the moon landing. Have you ever seen the film Capricorn one? No,

1819
01:45:32.159 --> 01:45:35.000
it's a film about faking landing on Mars in order

1820
01:45:35.079 --> 01:45:39.479
to subvert the communists. Basically, Okay, it's a pretty good movie,

1821
01:45:39.520 --> 01:45:42.199
and it helped inspire a lot of people to think

1822
01:45:42.199 --> 01:45:44.439
we fake the moon landing by showing how easy it

1823
01:45:44.479 --> 01:45:48.439
would be in many ways to fake landing on Mars.

1824
01:45:48.479 --> 01:45:51.039
The only negative the one thing they don't think about though.

1825
01:45:51.039 --> 01:45:54.279
They're too busy thinking about technology. They're too busy thinking

1826
01:45:54.359 --> 01:45:58.640
about camera lenses and lighting and set decoration and all

1827
01:45:58.680 --> 01:46:02.920
this stuff. They they negate the one thing that makes

1828
01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:07.479
this impossible. Humans cannot keep their traps shut.

1829
01:46:08.439 --> 01:46:09.399
Yeah.

1830
01:46:09.560 --> 01:46:13.840
Yeah, you would need, at bare minimum, in that time

1831
01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:18.079
period forty people to build a moon set like that

1832
01:46:18.720 --> 01:46:22.039
and fake the landing. How do you keep all those

1833
01:46:22.079 --> 01:46:22.880
people quiet?

1834
01:46:23.439 --> 01:46:24.520
Threatened their families?

1835
01:46:25.319 --> 01:46:31.880
Still wouldn't work? Like, think about how how quickly secrets

1836
01:46:31.960 --> 01:46:36.680
in especially the government come out, Like Whitewater came out

1837
01:46:36.720 --> 01:46:41.880
in no time, Monica Lewnsky almost immediately everyone knew about it, like.

1838
01:46:42.720 --> 01:46:45.880
They just suck at keeping secrets. Okay, so I have

1839
01:46:45.920 --> 01:46:49.399
a new idea. Maybe they took all those people and

1840
01:46:49.439 --> 01:46:52.199
they like had them stay there until they finished, you know,

1841
01:46:52.279 --> 01:46:54.039
like they had them like live work, and then they

1842
01:46:54.079 --> 01:46:54.520
killed them.

1843
01:46:55.560 --> 01:46:57.479
That I think some people do believe that.

1844
01:46:57.880 --> 01:46:58.920
Yeah, but that would make.

1845
01:46:58.800 --> 01:47:01.640
The astronauts that did it like the most evil people

1846
01:47:01.680 --> 01:47:02.119
on Earth.

1847
01:47:02.439 --> 01:47:04.319
Hey, I'm not saying they're not.

1848
01:47:06.840 --> 01:47:09.399
I U. One of my favorite jokes about the moon

1849
01:47:09.520 --> 01:47:15.159
landing conspiracy is, well, there's an actual claim that what's

1850
01:47:15.199 --> 01:47:19.560
his name, the director of The Shining Stanley Kubrick, because

1851
01:47:19.560 --> 01:47:21.800
he was known to be one of the most incredible

1852
01:47:21.880 --> 01:47:24.560
visual filmmakers of that era, that he was hired to

1853
01:47:24.560 --> 01:47:28.319
fake the moon landing. Some people have suggested that, and

1854
01:47:28.479 --> 01:47:30.760
the joke to respond to that is, well, Stanley Kubrick

1855
01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:33.279
was so obsessed with with things being so perfect in

1856
01:47:33.279 --> 01:47:35.319
his movies. He was known to do hundreds of takes

1857
01:47:35.640 --> 01:47:39.159
of one scene. Okay, so somebody was like, unfortunately, Kubrick

1858
01:47:39.239 --> 01:47:41.159
was so obsessed with getting it perfect that he made

1859
01:47:41.159 --> 01:47:42.840
them build a ship and go to the Moon to

1860
01:47:42.880 --> 01:47:45.560
film it there so that it would be perfect.

1861
01:47:46.199 --> 01:47:46.800
There you go.

1862
01:47:47.600 --> 01:47:50.760
Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, some people believe that

1863
01:47:50.760 --> 01:47:53.680
the Apollo moon landings were faked by NASA, which used

1864
01:47:53.720 --> 01:47:57.279
doctored photos, staged videos, and other ploys to dupe the public.

1865
01:47:57.560 --> 01:48:01.359
Proponents of these easily debunked hoaxes argue that technology was

1866
01:48:01.359 --> 01:48:03.960
not advanced enough for astronauts to reach the Moon and

1867
01:48:04.039 --> 01:48:08.279
return home safely. They also point to ostensibly ostensible signs

1868
01:48:08.319 --> 01:48:11.680
of studio trickery, including the fact that the American flag

1869
01:48:11.720 --> 01:48:15.079
planted by Apollo eleven's crew in the lunar surface appeared

1870
01:48:15.079 --> 01:48:20.920
to flutter in the vacuum of space it moved from inertia.

1871
01:48:20.960 --> 01:48:22.680
I watched the video it moved from inertia.

1872
01:48:22.800 --> 01:48:25.920
Yeah, I don't remember. I just I remember the whole

1873
01:48:25.960 --> 01:48:29.880
MythBusters episode on it, which is probably also a conspiracy.

1874
01:48:30.319 --> 01:48:31.119
Yes.

1875
01:48:31.279 --> 01:48:32.239
Yeah.

1876
01:48:32.279 --> 01:48:35.920
In two thousand and two, retired astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who

1877
01:48:35.920 --> 01:48:37.960
became the second person to walk on the Moon in

1878
01:48:38.039 --> 01:48:43.359
nineteen sixty nine, Nice grew so exasperated with one conspiracy

1879
01:48:43.399 --> 01:48:47.800
theorist accusations that he punched them in the face. Good

1880
01:48:49.199 --> 01:49:01.760
The sep Septitian septage septic Canarian space pioneer was not prosecuted. Septitinarian. Yeah,

1881
01:49:01.800 --> 01:49:03.640
it just doesn't I know how to say it. But

1882
01:49:03.680 --> 01:49:04.880
when I was reading it, I was like, am I

1883
01:49:04.920 --> 01:49:08.159
saying it wrong because it looks spell different? Uh? Number six,

1884
01:49:08.359 --> 01:49:12.520
this one is for you. The Nazis had a base

1885
01:49:12.680 --> 01:49:16.640
on the Moon. Yeah, there's also the theory that Nazis

1886
01:49:16.640 --> 01:49:18.680
had a secret base in Antarctica.

1887
01:49:19.039 --> 01:49:21.760
Which would make more sense than the Moon. But well

1888
01:49:21.920 --> 01:49:25.119
makes sense, I don't know, no.

1889
01:49:25.359 --> 01:49:29.239
Well, and the Nazis were like so mysterious and bizarre

1890
01:49:30.119 --> 01:49:32.399
in in what they believed, in what they put their

1891
01:49:32.399 --> 01:49:35.560
efforts into, you know, looking for the goddamn ark of

1892
01:49:35.560 --> 01:49:41.560
the Covenant. Yeah, like they literally looked for biblical relics.

1893
01:49:42.239 --> 01:49:45.600
Why not, I'm just saying like they were. They definitely

1894
01:49:45.600 --> 01:49:48.840
were not playing the game the way everybody else is.

1895
01:49:48.880 --> 01:49:51.760
They were playing with a different deck than everybody else,

1896
01:49:53.560 --> 01:49:56.119
you know, Like, stop being so mean to the Nazis.

1897
01:49:57.760 --> 01:50:01.600
After World War Two, rumors circular that German astronauts had

1898
01:50:01.640 --> 01:50:06.239
traveled to the Moon and established a top secret facility there. Well,

1899
01:50:06.359 --> 01:50:09.359
I mean it would have to be pretty secret. Some

1900
01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:13.640
even speculated that Adolf Hitler faked his own death, fled

1901
01:50:13.680 --> 01:50:15.880
the planet, and lived out the rest of his days.

1902
01:50:16.359 --> 01:50:18.560
Wow, that means every.

1903
01:50:18.399 --> 01:50:19.840
Time you looked into the moon and went what a

1904
01:50:19.840 --> 01:50:24.720
beautiful moon, you were actually complimenting Hitler, great job. Oh man, yeah,

1905
01:50:24.800 --> 01:50:31.079
feel bad. Connections were also drawn between flying saucer sightings,

1906
01:50:31.279 --> 01:50:34.439
including the famous incident near Roswell, New Mexico, in nineteen

1907
01:50:34.439 --> 01:50:38.640
forty seven with the Nazis alleged UFO development program. These

1908
01:50:38.680 --> 01:50:41.680
theories formed the basis of the science fiction novel rocket

1909
01:50:41.680 --> 01:50:46.279
Ship Galileo, published by Robert A. Heinlein Heinland in nineteen

1910
01:50:46.399 --> 01:50:49.000
forty seven. I like Robert Heinland. I need to read

1911
01:50:49.000 --> 01:50:51.199
more of his stuff. He wrote Starship Troopers and A

1912
01:50:51.279 --> 01:50:55.439
Stranger in a Strange World. But Ioida, he wrote a

1913
01:50:55.520 --> 01:51:01.119
movie about or a book about Nazis in space that's epic. Yeah,

1914
01:51:01.159 --> 01:51:03.159
So here comes the last one. This one's a little

1915
01:51:03.159 --> 01:51:07.720
bit more lighthearted. A rabbit dwells on the.

1916
01:51:07.600 --> 01:51:10.760
Moon, oh like Usagi Moon.

1917
01:51:11.920 --> 01:51:16.439
Intriguingly, legends from various traditions around the world, including Buddhism

1918
01:51:16.680 --> 01:51:19.680
and Native American folklore, recount the tale of a rabbit

1919
01:51:19.960 --> 01:51:20.720
that lives.

1920
01:51:20.479 --> 01:51:21.760
On the moon in Japan.

1921
01:51:22.920 --> 01:51:26.479
This shared myth may reflect common interpretations of markings on

1922
01:51:26.520 --> 01:51:30.079
the lunar surface. An alternative take on the fabled man

1923
01:51:30.199 --> 01:51:34.039
in the moon. What have you what do you know?

1924
01:51:34.159 --> 01:51:36.000
You seem to know this. What have you heard about

1925
01:51:36.000 --> 01:51:36.840
the rabbit on the moon?

1926
01:51:36.960 --> 01:51:39.319
I just didn't know. I think in Japan they like

1927
01:51:39.439 --> 01:51:43.439
see the face as like a rabbit thing. Ohsagi, I

1928
01:51:43.479 --> 01:51:43.800
don't know.

1929
01:51:44.159 --> 01:51:45.239
They call it usagi.

1930
01:51:46.000 --> 01:51:49.399
That's what rabbit is in Oh, just Japanese.

1931
01:51:49.720 --> 01:51:52.760
Oh no, you reveal that you know some Japanese words.

1932
01:51:52.880 --> 01:51:55.960
We're all very worried. I'm going to call your mother

1933
01:51:56.039 --> 01:51:56.479
right now.

1934
01:51:57.199 --> 01:51:59.439
She knows.

1935
01:52:01.039 --> 01:52:04.079
Shortly before Apollo eleven landed on the Moon in nineteen

1936
01:52:04.159 --> 01:52:07.279
sixty nine, mission control in Houston jokingly referred to the

1937
01:52:07.359 --> 01:52:11.159
Chinese version of the story telling the spaceship's crew. Quote,

1938
01:52:11.279 --> 01:52:14.560
among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning, there's one

1939
01:52:14.600 --> 01:52:16.800
asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a

1940
01:52:16.800 --> 01:52:23.159
big rabbit. Command Module pilot Michael Collins replied, quote, Okay,

1941
01:52:23.199 --> 01:52:25.119
we'll keep a close eye out for the bunny girl.

1942
01:52:27.880 --> 01:52:29.640
It's good to keep a sense of humor as you're

1943
01:52:29.680 --> 01:52:32.399
doing something that really could just kill you, which is

1944
01:52:32.439 --> 01:52:34.159
being an astronaut in that time period.

1945
01:52:34.560 --> 01:52:38.680
Yeah, really, anytime period, but more then.

1946
01:52:38.640 --> 01:52:41.479
But yeah, more so then. It's crazy to think like

1947
01:52:41.640 --> 01:52:45.640
that your iPhone has like one hundred times the calculating

1948
01:52:45.680 --> 01:52:51.000
capability of the computers on those spaceships and worrisome.

1949
01:52:51.720 --> 01:52:54.560
No, you just don't need that much Like my phone

1950
01:52:54.600 --> 01:52:57.960
has more stuff calculating ability than my car is. It

1951
01:52:58.000 --> 01:53:02.000
doesn't mean that it's risk in my car. I mean

1952
01:53:02.039 --> 01:53:06.239
it is, but not because of that.

1953
01:53:07.039 --> 01:53:09.199
Well, if you crash your car, the first thing I'll

1954
01:53:09.239 --> 01:53:12.720
do is be like, ah, I see, I guess I'll

1955
01:53:12.720 --> 01:53:15.439
first I'll go, are you okay? Then I'll go, look

1956
01:53:15.479 --> 01:53:24.439
whose computer sucks, buddy? Yeah, take that Jesus. So do

1957
01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:27.000
you feel like you've learned things about the moon?

1958
01:53:28.239 --> 01:53:33.720
Yeah? I don't remember what they were, but yeah.

1959
01:53:32.960 --> 01:53:35.279
Well that's the key to learning is not being able

1960
01:53:35.279 --> 01:53:38.119
to recall any of the information, almost like you entered

1961
01:53:38.119 --> 01:53:42.640
a fugue state when the moment you were learning things. Yeah,

1962
01:53:42.800 --> 01:53:45.640
very good, very good. That's how I was in school

1963
01:53:45.640 --> 01:53:47.840
before I dropped out. I was I would just like

1964
01:53:47.880 --> 01:53:50.479
sit there and you know, zone out. Actually I was

1965
01:53:50.520 --> 01:53:53.039
the worst one. I'm an auditory learner, so I would

1966
01:53:53.079 --> 01:53:55.880
sit and not be paying attention apparently, and not do

1967
01:53:55.920 --> 01:53:57.479
the homework, and then I'd get like a really good

1968
01:53:57.479 --> 01:53:59.359
grade on the test. Because I heard it all.

1969
01:54:00.079 --> 01:54:03.000
Yeah, yeah, I know you smart people with your good

1970
01:54:03.079 --> 01:54:03.880
test scars.

1971
01:54:04.039 --> 01:54:06.720
I don't think it's smart people. Well, first of all,

1972
01:54:06.760 --> 01:54:08.840
I had good scores and it's still dropped out. But

1973
01:54:09.359 --> 01:54:11.039
I don't think it has anything to do with smart.

1974
01:54:11.039 --> 01:54:15.199
It's just your learning style. Sure, most kids learn by doing,

1975
01:54:15.920 --> 01:54:18.800
some learn by seeing, and very few learn by hearing.

1976
01:54:20.800 --> 01:54:24.680
And I'm a person who learns by hearing. Okay, it's

1977
01:54:24.720 --> 01:54:28.520
just it. I once dated a girl who was a

1978
01:54:28.520 --> 01:54:31.760
pre med and she hated me for it because she

1979
01:54:31.840 --> 01:54:37.800
was so jealous. Yeah, I didn't choose it, Okay, I

1980
01:54:38.399 --> 01:54:42.319
think you did. Oh, I mean you think when I

1981
01:54:42.359 --> 01:54:44.560
was when I was shopping for my body, I was like,

1982
01:54:44.720 --> 01:54:47.279
what upgrades do you have? And they were like, whoa,

1983
01:54:47.720 --> 01:54:50.880
we can give you auditory learning, but uh, you'll probably

1984
01:54:50.920 --> 01:54:53.439
have ADHD too. That's just kind of a side effect.

1985
01:54:54.199 --> 01:54:57.159
And then you were like, yeah, it's fine.

1986
01:54:57.279 --> 01:54:58.800
I don't even know what that means. It's fun.

1987
01:54:58.920 --> 01:54:59.000
Ye.

1988
01:55:00.159 --> 01:55:03.520
I wasn't. I wasn't paying attention. I was distracted, So

1989
01:55:03.560 --> 01:55:06.960
I was like, HDTV sounds great, let's do it, yeah,

1990
01:55:07.000 --> 01:55:10.239
which then by thereby hints that I already had ADHD

1991
01:55:10.600 --> 01:55:14.279
when I approved of what caused it? Oh man, we

1992
01:55:14.359 --> 01:55:17.960
just created a paradox. All right, Well, yeah, we're going

1993
01:55:18.039 --> 01:55:20.119
to take a quick break and then we'll get back

1994
01:55:20.159 --> 01:55:21.720
to talk a little bit about some of the horror

1995
01:55:21.760 --> 01:55:24.960
films I've seen in the theaters and some creepiness from

1996
01:55:25.000 --> 01:55:26.800
Reddit before we get out of here for the month,

1997
01:55:27.199 --> 01:55:38.640
and welcome in September. Right after this, and we have

1998
01:55:38.800 --> 01:55:43.199
returned to wrap up this month's edition of Monthly Spooky.

1999
01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:45.840
So before we get out of here, I wanted to

2000
01:55:45.920 --> 01:55:49.840
mention that this month was pretty good for horror movies

2001
01:55:49.840 --> 01:55:53.039
in the theater good. There were a lot of options

2002
01:55:53.720 --> 01:55:58.319
and two really really stick out, and one of them

2003
01:55:58.399 --> 01:56:01.119
was was fun enough. I don't want to like. I

2004
01:56:01.159 --> 01:56:03.640
don't want to be mean. First of all, I saw

2005
01:56:03.680 --> 01:56:06.079
a stream I actually saw that last night, which is

2006
01:56:06.079 --> 01:56:09.039
an independent horror film that was put into nationwide theaters

2007
01:56:09.079 --> 01:56:12.359
for two days. I enjoyed it. It was a very

2008
01:56:12.399 --> 01:56:16.039
fan servicey horror film. It's got tons of cameos and

2009
01:56:16.079 --> 01:56:20.039
tons of guest stars. It starred Jeffrey Combs, who was

2010
01:56:20.239 --> 01:56:23.279
just phenomenal. Full disclosure, I worked with jeff once. He

2011
01:56:23.399 --> 01:56:25.760
was a really great dude, but he was just excellent

2012
01:56:25.800 --> 01:56:28.960
in the film. I enjoyed it. It was a little overlong,

2013
01:56:29.039 --> 01:56:33.239
but if you like gory, silly horror, I think you'll

2014
01:56:33.279 --> 01:56:34.840
have a fun time. Of course, by the time you

2015
01:56:34.880 --> 01:56:36.319
hear this, it will no longer be in the theater,

2016
01:56:36.680 --> 01:56:42.520
so rent it or something. One of the other horror

2017
01:56:42.560 --> 01:56:44.239
films I saw, which was a little bit more of

2018
01:56:44.279 --> 01:56:48.920
a thriller than a horror movie was m Night Shyamalan's Trap,

2019
01:56:50.039 --> 01:56:54.279
which stars Josh Hartnett as a serial killer stuck in

2020
01:56:54.319 --> 01:56:58.760
a concert where a FBI sting has been built around

2021
01:56:58.800 --> 01:56:59.920
the concert.

2022
01:57:00.239 --> 01:57:01.199
That sounds school.

2023
01:57:01.560 --> 01:57:04.960
It was so so fun. I heard some people bitching

2024
01:57:05.000 --> 01:57:06.800
say like it was so stupid or whatever. I had

2025
01:57:06.840 --> 01:57:10.720
a great time all the way through. It is so tense,

2026
01:57:10.800 --> 01:57:12.920
and watching him try to figure out how to get

2027
01:57:12.920 --> 01:57:16.720
out of there is so epic, and the stakes just

2028
01:57:16.800 --> 01:57:19.319
keep getting raised and raised and raised and raised, so

2029
01:57:19.399 --> 01:57:21.319
you keep getting more and more nervous. I saw it

2030
01:57:21.319 --> 01:57:22.079
twice in the theater.

2031
01:57:22.560 --> 01:57:23.760
Wow and well.

2032
01:57:23.800 --> 01:57:28.079
I enjoyed it quite a bit, so I liked the

2033
01:57:28.119 --> 01:57:30.359
hell out of it. I thought it was tense. I

2034
01:57:30.399 --> 01:57:33.800
thought it was surprising it didn't have a big fat

2035
01:57:33.920 --> 01:57:37.600
m Night twist like people are used to. Instead, it

2036
01:57:37.640 --> 01:57:42.199
was highly unpredictable in a really fun way. The entire

2037
01:57:42.359 --> 01:57:45.960
third act of Trap. I would never have an a

2038
01:57:46.000 --> 01:57:47.920
million years guess all the things that happened in it.

2039
01:57:47.960 --> 01:57:50.239
I wouldn't even guess the first thing that started the

2040
01:57:50.239 --> 01:57:56.079
third act really fun. Wasn't expecting it totally dope. So

2041
01:57:56.199 --> 01:57:59.399
I highly recommend Trap by m Night Shamalan, which is

2042
01:57:59.439 --> 01:58:01.720
still in the as of recording this although it may

2043
01:58:01.720 --> 01:58:04.600
not be for very long. And now I want to

2044
01:58:04.640 --> 01:58:07.199
talk about the horror film that may be my favorite

2045
01:58:07.199 --> 01:58:09.920
horror film in the theater of the entire year. And

2046
01:58:09.960 --> 01:58:11.680
it was a movie I went to see on a

2047
01:58:11.720 --> 01:58:14.560
whim because I was bored on a Saturday night and

2048
01:58:14.680 --> 01:58:17.720
my movie pass had just renewed, so I had a

2049
01:58:17.720 --> 01:58:21.439
free movie ticket. And it is a horror film from

2050
01:58:21.520 --> 01:58:31.000
Neon called Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo. So Cuckoo had this

2051
01:58:31.119 --> 01:58:36.359
trailer which seemed really heady and artsy and intense. And

2052
01:58:36.560 --> 01:58:39.000
we've had a big boom in the last five six

2053
01:58:39.039 --> 01:58:41.960
seven years of very heady horror films from A twenty

2054
01:58:42.000 --> 01:58:47.760
four and Neon, stuff like Hereditary, Midsummer Long Legs, which

2055
01:58:47.800 --> 01:58:50.840
is more recent. A lot of that stuff very heady,

2056
01:58:50.960 --> 01:58:55.319
kind of artsy horror, and that's what I thought I

2057
01:58:55.359 --> 01:58:57.279
was walking into. And I like those movies, so I

2058
01:58:57.319 --> 01:58:59.880
was not opposed to it. So I sat down at

2059
01:58:59.920 --> 01:59:02.199
a ten o'clock or ten thirty screening. It was me

2060
01:59:02.279 --> 01:59:06.600
and like four other people in the theater and Cuckoo started.

2061
01:59:07.399 --> 01:59:11.319
And it was not some like artsy expression of horror.

2062
01:59:11.439 --> 01:59:17.199
It was a pulse pounding, NonStop, bizarre horror film. It

2063
01:59:17.279 --> 01:59:20.680
was so much fun. It had a deeply satisfying ending.

2064
01:59:21.199 --> 01:59:23.800
Everything went so batchit in the third act. And the

2065
01:59:23.840 --> 01:59:26.199
one biggest complaint I keep hearing, which doesn't make any

2066
01:59:26.199 --> 01:59:28.039
sense to me, is people said, I have no idea

2067
01:59:28.079 --> 01:59:30.079
what that movie was about. After watching it, I thought

2068
01:59:30.079 --> 01:59:33.399
they almost over explained what was going on in Cuckoo.

2069
01:59:34.760 --> 01:59:37.520
It was sincerely maybe maybe One of the reasons I

2070
01:59:37.560 --> 01:59:41.079
loved it so much was I had zero expectation. I

2071
01:59:41.119 --> 01:59:43.119
loved it so much I saw it again the next day.

2072
01:59:43.439 --> 01:59:45.800
I went back to the theater and watched it again,

2073
01:59:45.840 --> 01:59:48.680
and it was even better on a second viewing. So

2074
01:59:48.880 --> 01:59:52.600
if Cuckoo is in the theater near you, go see it.

2075
01:59:53.039 --> 01:59:56.840
You will enjoy it. You will be surprised by it.

2076
01:59:56.840 --> 02:00:00.840
It kicked ass. I. It's been so so long since

2077
02:00:00.840 --> 02:00:03.000
I've been in a movie theater, and as a movie

2078
02:00:03.039 --> 02:00:05.680
was ending, I literally thought like, ah, I wonder if

2079
02:00:05.720 --> 02:00:07.399
there'll be a four K so I can buy it.

2080
02:00:08.119 --> 02:00:10.600
Like usually I'll like, if I really like a movie,

2081
02:00:10.600 --> 02:00:13.319
I'll buy a streaming copy or maybe a Blu ray.

2082
02:00:13.600 --> 02:00:14.840
But the fact that I was like, Man, I want

2083
02:00:14.840 --> 02:00:16.640
a four K this, I want to like have this.

2084
02:00:17.520 --> 02:00:21.000
I love that movie. The characters were great, the storyline

2085
02:00:21.039 --> 02:00:24.640
was great, and most importantly, it reminded us all of

2086
02:00:24.680 --> 02:00:27.520
what's really important in life, which is Germans are not

2087
02:00:27.560 --> 02:00:31.560
to be trusted. They are villains always period.

2088
02:00:32.000 --> 02:00:32.520
Wow.

2089
02:00:33.800 --> 02:00:35.640
I didn't tell anybody. I didn't even mention what it

2090
02:00:35.640 --> 02:00:38.000
was about because I'm so excited about it. It's about

2091
02:00:38.000 --> 02:00:39.840
a young woman who moves with her family to a

2092
02:00:39.880 --> 02:00:42.439
resort in Germany so her parents can help develop a

2093
02:00:42.760 --> 02:00:46.800
sister resort which is going to be built on some greenlands.

2094
02:00:47.479 --> 02:00:49.520
The idea of these resorts being that they are resorts

2095
02:00:49.560 --> 02:00:54.199
and preserves for animals to protect them. And she's there

2096
02:00:54.239 --> 02:00:59.279
with her younger half sister, who is mute, and as

2097
02:00:59.319 --> 02:01:02.199
she is hey out there, she gets chased by this

2098
02:01:02.319 --> 02:01:04.920
scary woman in the middle of the night and nearly dies,

2099
02:01:05.760 --> 02:01:09.119
and slowly everything starts to become not what it seems.

2100
02:01:09.159 --> 02:01:13.520
Everyone seems to be gaslighting her and something really weird

2101
02:01:13.640 --> 02:01:19.359
is going on. So good, so good. I really loved

2102
02:01:19.399 --> 02:01:23.399
the hell out of it. So cucko. I was cuckoo

2103
02:01:23.520 --> 02:01:28.560
for cuckoo. Tell before we get out of here, what

2104
02:01:28.760 --> 02:01:30.680
do you have for us from Reddit?

2105
02:01:31.560 --> 02:01:34.680
So I have one thing from I think it was

2106
02:01:34.680 --> 02:01:36.880
from Glitchen, the matrix, because that's really the only one

2107
02:01:36.880 --> 02:01:43.079
that produced anything good. But so I'll try to go

2108
02:01:43.159 --> 02:01:46.119
through this. It's a little bit complicated, not really, but

2109
02:01:46.319 --> 02:01:49.359
so this dude, he's on his way to work, right

2110
02:01:49.920 --> 02:01:51.920
and I think he works, not like super close or

2111
02:01:51.920 --> 02:01:54.800
super far away. He's on the highway and for some

2112
02:01:54.840 --> 02:01:57.279
reason or another, no not for some reason another, but

2113
02:01:57.319 --> 02:02:00.520
he can't get over to his exit to to work

2114
02:02:00.680 --> 02:02:03.600
because like the way traffic is, he can't move over

2115
02:02:03.680 --> 02:02:05.920
fast enough. So you know, he has his you know,

2116
02:02:06.039 --> 02:02:09.319
his maps or GPS or whatever is running. So he's like, okay,

2117
02:02:09.359 --> 02:02:11.279
I'll just follow this, and it takes him off the

2118
02:02:11.319 --> 02:02:14.880
next exit. He is driving on the next exit and

2119
02:02:14.920 --> 02:02:16.680
he's like, okay, cool, maybe I found a new way

2120
02:02:16.720 --> 02:02:18.760
to get to work, you know, nice to have it

2121
02:02:18.840 --> 02:02:21.600
back up. And then he starts to like notice that

2122
02:02:21.640 --> 02:02:23.880
things look a little familiar, and he's like, maybe I

2123
02:02:23.920 --> 02:02:26.800
can't this way before. And then he realizes that he

2124
02:02:26.920 --> 02:02:32.680
is heading home. And he gets home and pulling up

2125
02:02:32.720 --> 02:02:34.600
to his house and he sees his car in the

2126
02:02:34.680 --> 02:02:39.279
driveway and he's what, yeah, So then he realizes that

2127
02:02:39.319 --> 02:02:42.039
he's in his wife's car and he's like what what

2128
02:02:42.479 --> 02:02:45.079
because like his wife keeps her keys in her bag.

2129
02:02:45.439 --> 02:02:48.800
So he goes into the house and his wife is up,

2130
02:02:48.840 --> 02:02:51.439
which is really weird because she works nights, so she's

2131
02:02:51.479 --> 02:02:55.159
not usually awake at this time, right, And and he's like,

2132
02:02:55.880 --> 02:02:57.840
I don't know, like how he took your keys? I

2133
02:02:57.840 --> 02:03:00.199
got really turned around and she's like that's really weird.

2134
02:03:00.239 --> 02:03:03.239
So she's looking for her like his keys or whatever,

2135
02:03:03.640 --> 02:03:08.479
and she like pulls out keys and she has her keys,

2136
02:03:09.239 --> 02:03:11.720
and he looks in his hand and he has his keys,

2137
02:03:12.199 --> 02:03:15.359
and he's just like I don't know. So he leaves

2138
02:03:15.399 --> 02:03:18.359
to go to work in his car. Right great, because

2139
02:03:18.359 --> 02:03:20.279
he's already like texted his boss and said like, hey,

2140
02:03:20.359 --> 02:03:22.239
I'm gonna like I gotta turn around, and his box

2141
02:03:22.359 --> 02:03:24.399
was like that's fine. So he leaves to go to

2142
02:03:24.399 --> 02:03:26.800
work in his car. He's on the highway again. He

2143
02:03:26.880 --> 02:03:30.279
comes to his exit and it's closed because there was

2144
02:03:30.319 --> 02:03:33.600
a traffic accident with a semi truck and a car

2145
02:03:33.640 --> 02:03:36.760
that looks exactly like his car. So he gets over

2146
02:03:36.840 --> 02:03:41.960
the next exit and also like I'm trying to remember

2147
02:03:42.319 --> 02:03:45.079
what else happened. So he's like freaked out. Oh right,

2148
02:03:45.359 --> 02:03:47.359
So and his wife like calls and is like, hey,

2149
02:03:48.239 --> 02:03:53.840
I found like my keys are oh right, like his keys.

2150
02:03:53.840 --> 02:03:56.319
Someone's like it ends up being in his pocket from

2151
02:03:56.319 --> 02:03:58.039
the night before and you they're like, what that doesn't

2152
02:03:58.039 --> 02:04:00.640
make any sense. And he had like texted his boss

2153
02:04:00.680 --> 02:04:02.039
a bunch of times saying like I'm gonna be late.

2154
02:04:02.199 --> 02:04:04.039
So he texted his boss again and he's like, hey,

2155
02:04:04.520 --> 02:04:06.560
sorry that everyone's been so crazy, but like I'm gonna

2156
02:04:06.560 --> 02:04:09.359
be late today. And his boss texting backer calls him

2157
02:04:09.359 --> 02:04:11.039
and it's like it's cool, You're still gonna make the meeting.

2158
02:04:11.279 --> 02:04:13.399
And he looks and it's way earlier than he thought

2159
02:04:13.399 --> 02:04:16.920
it was, and none of those text exists anymore, and

2160
02:04:17.399 --> 02:04:19.239
he just say is like I need to go home

2161
02:04:19.640 --> 02:04:22.239
because I'm having a problem. He goes home, his wife

2162
02:04:22.239 --> 02:04:24.239
doesn't remember him coming home in the first time or

2163
02:04:24.279 --> 02:04:27.920
any of the conversations that I had, and he see

2164
02:04:28.000 --> 02:04:29.560
like ended it with like do I need to go

2165
02:04:29.640 --> 02:04:31.079
to the hospital or something?

2166
02:04:31.720 --> 02:04:36.920
So yes, yeah, it sounds like, oh, that's insane. It

2167
02:04:37.039 --> 02:04:40.039
sounds like a severe case of highway hypnosis.

2168
02:04:40.880 --> 02:04:44.760
I don't think so, because why none of that. I

2169
02:04:44.800 --> 02:04:46.760
just don't think the rest. I don't think it makes sense,

2170
02:04:47.520 --> 02:04:50.720
especially if it was highway hypnosis, which I believe is

2171
02:04:50.840 --> 02:04:53.520
just you not paying attention when you're driving like you are,

2172
02:04:53.600 --> 02:04:56.720
but you're not thinking about it as much. It wouldn't

2173
02:04:56.720 --> 02:04:58.520
make sense because he got off a different exit than

2174
02:04:58.560 --> 02:05:00.960
he usually gets off, so he should be the alert.

2175
02:05:01.880 --> 02:05:06.760
Because it really happened. So one of the tricks of

2176
02:05:06.840 --> 02:05:10.319
highway hypnosis is it's it's not it's it's that you.

2177
02:05:10.439 --> 02:05:13.239
It's driving your car and having no recollection of what you.

2178
02:05:13.239 --> 02:05:16.159
Just did, right, right, right. But I don't think that

2179
02:05:16.159 --> 02:05:17.880
that really fits.

2180
02:05:17.560 --> 02:05:22.720
Here collection I Well, he thinks he does, is my point.

2181
02:05:22.960 --> 02:05:25.840
But I don't think in my opinion as a person

2182
02:05:25.880 --> 02:05:29.399
who has experienced highway hypnosis, obviously because I've traveled and

2183
02:05:29.560 --> 02:05:34.760
also traveled the same you know, back and forth. I

2184
02:05:35.119 --> 02:05:38.960
don't like mis recall things. I just don't remember them,

2185
02:05:39.199 --> 02:05:42.359
you know, And I was a big incident, I would

2186
02:05:42.439 --> 02:05:43.000
remember it.

2187
02:05:43.680 --> 02:05:46.199
I agree. I'm more just trying to think of things

2188
02:05:46.239 --> 02:05:48.760
it could be. I don't know that I entirely think

2189
02:05:48.800 --> 02:05:51.439
it's that. Yeah, but it's the first thought I had.

2190
02:05:51.880 --> 02:05:54.680
The big red flag in that for me is that

2191
02:05:54.760 --> 02:05:57.439
he then realizes it's earlier than it was, and no

2192
02:05:57.479 --> 02:05:59.199
one remembers any of the stuff, which makes you think

2193
02:05:59.199 --> 02:06:00.159
he imagined it all.

2194
02:06:01.720 --> 02:06:04.680
It's it's possible. But if he did, and if it,

2195
02:06:05.199 --> 02:06:08.920
I mean unless he like went to another universe. If

2196
02:06:08.920 --> 02:06:11.119
he did, then something is very wrong with him because

2197
02:06:11.119 --> 02:06:12.000
that's too much.

2198
02:06:12.159 --> 02:06:15.039
Get you should get a scan of his head, Yeah, yeah,

2199
02:06:15.039 --> 02:06:16.640
because he could have like a tumor or something.

2200
02:06:16.760 --> 02:06:17.439
Yeah.

2201
02:06:17.600 --> 02:06:21.479
No, No, it's terrifying. The reason that one bothers me

2202
02:06:21.520 --> 02:06:25.159
so much is because I feel like that's the kind

2203
02:06:25.199 --> 02:06:29.239
of like malleable memory I've had before, like where like

2204
02:06:29.680 --> 02:06:32.119
not as intensely, but where I'll be like, wait, this happened,

2205
02:06:32.199 --> 02:06:35.439
Yeah it did, right Like. It scares me because I

2206
02:06:35.439 --> 02:06:37.840
feel like I could imagine it happening to me and

2207
02:06:37.880 --> 02:06:41.319
me being so freaked out and confused. Does that make sense,

2208
02:06:41.840 --> 02:06:48.000
like it's relatable content. Bro. Yeah, yeah, oh that's a

2209
02:06:48.000 --> 02:06:49.960
good one. That's a really good one. That's a head

2210
02:06:50.000 --> 02:06:50.960
scratcher and a half.

2211
02:06:51.319 --> 02:06:52.920
Yeah. I like that one and a lot of people

2212
02:06:53.079 --> 02:06:56.000
because their responses were like, well, I mean, maybe you

2213
02:06:56.039 --> 02:06:58.600
need to go to see someone. But then people were like,

2214
02:06:58.640 --> 02:07:01.600
are you sure you're not dead because it looks like

2215
02:07:01.600 --> 02:07:07.399
you probably died in that car accident, right, Likelar.

2216
02:07:05.680 --> 02:07:07.479
Are you sure you're not dead? Because I'm dead and

2217
02:07:07.520 --> 02:07:12.000
currently on Reddit. Yeah, we're all dead, right, debt it

2218
02:07:12.279 --> 02:07:13.079
we're on dead it.

2219
02:07:15.239 --> 02:07:17.800
Oh I thought I was on Reddit and no, no.

2220
02:07:17.680 --> 02:07:21.119
It's dead it. And but I mean, at the end,

2221
02:07:21.279 --> 02:07:23.600
if I had to really guess he's cheating on his.

2222
02:07:23.560 --> 02:07:27.159
Wife, probably Yeah.

2223
02:07:27.199 --> 02:07:31.279
Well okay, on that note, I think we're gonna start

2224
02:07:31.319 --> 02:07:36.479
wrapping up here at Monthly Spooky. But uh I what

2225
02:07:36.600 --> 02:07:40.520
a fun show. This one was some bizarre stuff. I'm

2226
02:07:40.560 --> 02:07:42.840
glad we got to talk about monkeys because that is

2227
02:07:42.960 --> 02:07:47.439
very important to me to talk about monkeys. I find

2228
02:07:47.600 --> 02:07:50.920
that very few things in life are as funny as

2229
02:07:51.000 --> 02:07:57.000
monkeys and shell I'm hoping that you're learning, no, you

2230
02:07:57.039 --> 02:07:58.760
need to learn that monkeys are funny.

2231
02:07:59.000 --> 02:08:02.920
No, they're not. Fun Well, well, they're all so scary. No,

2232
02:08:03.039 --> 02:08:04.279
but they're not funny at all.

2233
02:08:05.720 --> 02:08:07.279
I would have to disagree.

2234
02:08:07.439 --> 02:08:10.039
They're like, oh, it's wearing a little hat. That's terrifying.

2235
02:08:10.119 --> 02:08:13.199
It's not funny, it's hilarious.

2236
02:08:13.319 --> 02:08:15.119
Oh my god, they're wearing a little hat on their

2237
02:08:15.199 --> 02:08:16.520
little human looking head.

2238
02:08:16.560 --> 02:08:17.920
But it's no.

2239
02:08:17.920 --> 02:08:22.319
No, look at them be all funny looking. I love monkeys.

2240
02:08:22.640 --> 02:08:24.600
But before we get out of here, I do want

2241
