1
00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:05.000
The theft of a golden throne, spirits that have two

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.240
words for you, invisible UFOs and good natured. April Fool's

3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.439
Day pranks not meant to hurt anyone going horribly wrong.

4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Get comfortable, turn off the lights.

5
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:31.879
It's Monthly Spooky. Hello, my spooks, and welcome back, because yes, indeed,

6
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.439
it is that time of the month and it's time

7
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.880
for Monthly Spooky. I'm, of course your host Enrique Kuto,

8
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.240
here with my good buddy and co host, the ever

9
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.520
ever imitable Michelle. Michelle, how are you?

10
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:51.840
Oh no, oh.

11
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.719
No, sorry, I didn't mean to start with the strong

12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.520
questions I meant to start. I should have started easier

13
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.039
and then work my way up.

14
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.359
Yeah, ask me about like I don't know sewer pipes

15
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.760
and stuff, not about how I'm doing.

16
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.079
I mean, you know a lot about sewer pipes.

17
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.840
I know some stuff about sewer pipes.

18
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.760
Okay, I mean like when it comes to inspecting homes,

19
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.159
how much sewer inspection do you have to do?

20
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.879
Well, it depends on what they want done, because I

21
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.120
mean I'm in a general normal inspection. I'm looking at

22
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.000
the exterior of the waistline for like cracks and things

23
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.200
like that, but then they can also get a sewer

24
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.840
scope and then I can look at all of the

25
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:42.040
inside parts of it. Yay, hooray, yay.

26
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:48.280
Well I still like you. So for those who this

27
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.680
may somehow be your first time. Monthly Spooky is a

28
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.120
little kind of wrap up of the month talk show

29
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.879
where we look at some spooky news stories and we

30
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.959
talk about a topic that's you, usually in some way

31
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.439
related either to the past month or to the month

32
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.960
that's coming. And this month's topic is going to talk

33
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.039
a little bit about April Fools because I love a

34
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.719
good prank. I don't know about you. Do you like

35
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:15.400
a good prank?

36
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:16.080
Not really?

37
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.319
No, no, no, not even a little bit, not really

38
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.599
have you? Have you? Do you have any fond memories

39
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.199
of pranking or being pranked.

40
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.759
My mom pranked me once, but I don't exactly remember why.

41
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.960
We were gonna she was gonna take me to the doctor.

42
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.879
But she was like, we're going to the doctor and

43
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.439
I was like why, I don't remember.

44
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:39.840
That was the prank.

45
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.080
It was something like that. I don't remember. It was

46
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.599
probably like six I don't remember, but it left an

47
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.560
elasting impact on my brain.

48
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:57.439
Apparently my mom too had had this mindset that like

49
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.800
getting you to believe something that is in true counts

50
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.000
as a prank. Yeah, so just like lying to you.

51
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.360
But but the problem was she would she would do it,

52
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.919
and if you were skeptical, she would just explain away

53
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.960
the skepticism and then the moment you went, oh, well,

54
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.879
I guess that, I guess that could be true that

55
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.639
she's like, ah, I was, I didn't believe you, like

56
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.240
the entire time until the end.

57
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.560
Well, well that's the point. It's got to go and

58
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.840
gas like you enough until you believe it.

59
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:35.719
That's I mean, you know when you put it that way,

60
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.840
pretty solid. Yeah, well played. My mom and I used

61
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.319
to play pranks on each other all the time, so

62
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.199
but not April Fools related. We would just like like

63
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.479
one time I bit a Dracula like blood capsule that

64
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.560
I'd save from Halloween and said I fell off my

65
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.560
bike and I didn't I guess I didn't realize how

66
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.800
horrific it looked, because my mom like screamed bloody murder,

67
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.960
and then I felt really bad, and then she was

68
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:06.560
very angry because I guess, I guess I looked like

69
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.719
I had been really really really hurt. Yeah, so yeah,

70
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.560
we we kinda we over time, we kind of agreed

71
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.480
we had to scale that back. Our current agreement is

72
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.120
that we can play pranks on each other, but they

73
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.360
cannot be what was We agreed that they couldn't be premeditated,

74
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.040
Like we're not allowed to make because we because they

75
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.959
kept getting so they kept getting so involved and so whatever.

76
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.879
You know, So like if we're like having lunch and

77
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.399
I think of something funny, that's not considered breaking the

78
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.199
day taught. But you know, if a week earlier, I'm like,

79
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.319
you know, I'm going to order this thing on Amazon,

80
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.120
It's gonna fooler good, that would be breaking our our

81
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.319
agreement because we were getting we were getting just a

82
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:57.639
bit too too far. When I tell you my eighteenth birthday,

83
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.959
she told me I was adopted and yeah, and that

84
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.279
she would she would be happy to get me any

85
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.519
information she could find about my birth parents, which I

86
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.759
didn't believe because I look so much like my father.

87
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.480
I just didn't believe that one at all. But you know, mom,

88
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.959
Mom thought it was pretty funny. And then I struck

89
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.720
back with my girlfriends pregnant, and then that's when we

90
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:32.000
decided to that we had to ease off pranking each other. Yeah,

91
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.800
so that's you know, it's funny because when people meet

92
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.319
my mother, you've met my mother. When people meet my mother,

93
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.920
they're just like Often their statement is like she's so normal. Yeah,

94
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.160
spend an hour around her, and you'll be like, that's

95
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:53.600
his mom, that is his mom. It's without a doubt.

96
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.480
So my mom is awesome, but she's also hilarious and frustrating.

97
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.439
That makes sense, I guess I don't know.

98
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.800
Oh like me right, Yeah, there you go. You're like, yeah,

99
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:11.360
the part of it. Oh well, So, because April Fools

100
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.240
is coming up really fast, because this month's monthly spooky

101
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.680
is on the thirty first, so literally tomorrow is April

102
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.040
Fool's Day, I thought we would talk about twelve April

103
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.959
Fools pranks that went horribly wrong. Okay, so that'll be

104
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.519
our topic a little bit later, but we have a

105
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.160
whole lot of spooky news stories to get to first. Plus,

106
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.199
Michelle promised to tell us really interesting things. That was

107
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.360
all she said. She wasn't very specific, which made it

108
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:47.480
more exciting. I've also gotten the chance to see to

109
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.720
watch some kind of new horror movies. I've after months

110
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.480
and months of like toiling away pretty hard at work.

111
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.759
I've finally found some time to watch some movies and stuff,

112
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.120
so I have some of the that stuff to talk about.

113
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.560
It should be a pretty fun show as long as

114
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.439
Michelle doesn't, you know, let us down.

115
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.639
I'm sorry, I've already let you down.

116
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.240
That's always what you hope. Did I do it yet?

117
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.600
But we're gonna take a quick break and then we'll

118
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.800
be back talking all about the Spooky News right after

119
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:37.720
this and we are back Cell. Do you want to

120
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:38.519
do the honors?

121
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.079
I don't remember.

122
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:50.399
Oh, you don't remember? If you want to, ye, It's

123
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.839
time for the Spooky News, the Spooky News, And this

124
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.319
first story, of course, is from Cell. Do you want

125
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:00.879
to take this one?

126
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.920
I don't know. I mean it's from the maritime going

127
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:06.800
on in UK.

128
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.639
Indeed, and we actually had a write in over on

129
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:15.319
Patreon at Weeklyspooky dot com slash join, where folks support

130
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.399
the program and get two bonus shows every month. We

131
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.560
actually had a new patron who is from the United Kingdom,

132
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.800
and he said that he really got a kick out

133
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.199
of us picking on Mirror dot Code at UK, so

134
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.879
which I was happy to hear because actually I feel

135
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.360
like I'm a little too harsh on the Brits on

136
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:38.039
this show sometimes, But in my defense, I'm harsh on everybody.

137
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.080
It's just you guys speak English, so I'm getting exposed

138
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.399
to you the most compared to like France. I would

139
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.200
pick on France way more if their news sites were

140
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.120
in English, just saying I.

141
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.879
Mean, you could just translate them.

142
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.600
So they're in English, it's not nearly as funny.

143
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:55.799
Fine.

144
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:57.879
Plus then they could be like, well that was lost

145
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:01.159
in translation as to where with British if I'm like, nah, dog,

146
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:01.879
I can.

147
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:06.840
Read this, yeah, but they use different phrases and things.

148
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.879
Maybe uh maybe. But this article, the headline is the

149
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:19.440
evil ghosts in our haunted home have stopped us from

150
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:20.519
having children.

151
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.759
That was so close to what I thought you were

152
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:24.879
gonna say.

153
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.639
Yeah, what did you think it was gonna say?

154
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.240
Having sex?

155
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:34.399
So? Oh yeah, what is with? Why are you? Why

156
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:39.240
is your brain in the gutter shell? What I was right?

157
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.679
Basically, except I don't know if there's having sex or not,

158
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.399
but they're not having kids.

159
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:50.320
No, you I feel like Banana Fish has changed you. No,

160
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.879
I feel like I feel like that anime has has

161
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.440
changed you. No, You're not quite the person I used

162
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.720
to know. Oh no, but uh the the headline also

163
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:08.559
said it's worse when I'm alone. Oh okay, sure boy,

164
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.519
you don't like this the seo gobbledegook that is that title?

165
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:14.799
Yeah, because now I'm confused.

166
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:17.320
I think they are too.

167
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:24.279
Because like if if they have kids, they'll be alone less.

168
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.840
Man. That's been such a solid argument for so many

169
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:39.039
bad marriages. All right. So Natasha and Ross were like

170
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:44.240
any other new homeowner and excited to move into their property,

171
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:50.360
a four bed terraced house in Obon, Scotland, with plans

172
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.440
to make the nineteen eighties property their new family home

173
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.519
and a place to raise children. They could never have

174
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.360
imagined what would happen next nineteen eight property. I I

175
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.840
just always assume everything's much older, uh huh, in like

176
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.200
Scotland in the UK, you know, Scotland, England. I always

177
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.519
assume it's like it's like it's like, uh oh, that's

178
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.799
the corner store. I really like to use the bathroom

179
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.840
hat it was built in fifteen twenty six, you know.

180
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.480
Like that's the way I feel. I mean that's kind

181
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.559
how I feel in New England too, Like because in Ohio,

182
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.200
we don't have a ton of stuff that's more than

183
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.600
like seventy years old. Yeah, for the most part. So yeah,

184
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.440
it'll be like it'll be like, oh, yeah, you should

185
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.320
go get a water ice over there. It's been there

186
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.879
since the frigging Pilgrims, you know. Yeah, yeah what this,

187
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.039
Yeah we built that in seventeen oh four.

188
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.720
I'm like, what, Yeah, we didn't have refrigeration back then,

189
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.720
but we figured it out.

190
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:43.080
We figured it out.

191
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:43.799
Yeah.

192
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.080
So but uh yeah, so I'm just kind of surprised

193
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.000
that not only is this a haunted property, but it

194
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.639
was built in the nineteen eighties, so kind of interesting.

195
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:59.559
It's like, ooh, I am the ghost of the Cold War.

196
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.039
Scary Yeah, well, I mean I would call the ghost

197
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.360
of the Cold War Vladimir Putin at this point, so

198
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.200
he's as scary as he is funny. I love those

199
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.399
photoshops of him without a shirt on, like riding a

200
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:17.320
bear and stuff. Yeah, that's good stuff. I like any

201
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.480
photoshop that I know is illegal somewhere that makes it great. Like, okay,

202
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.600
like all the comparisons of Jijingping to Winnie the Pooh

203
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.399
h have you heard about that?

204
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:30.840
I've heard about it.

205
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.159
I guess that straight up people call the president of

206
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.879
China Winnie the Pooh, So they like ban Winnie the

207
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.600
Pooh media in China because people will like promote it

208
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.960
as a form of protest, like subversive protest.

209
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.480
Hmm, that's interesting, it is.

210
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.960
And honestly they're so like I get it. If he

211
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.480
was being compared to Eyore, that's when I'd be mad.

212
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.679
I would be okay with being compared to eat.

213
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:07.120
Or we know, but thank goodness, you're not the leader

214
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:12.399
of the largest communist nation in the world. Yeah, oh, buddy,

215
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:13.679
I'm sorry. Maybe someday.

216
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.200
No, it's okay. I know it's not gonna happen.

217
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:23.759
Oh now I feel like a real heel uh. Back

218
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:30.039
to the story. Experiencing constant thuds, waking up with random bruises,

219
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:34.399
and smoke alarms going off unprompted. The couple's home has

220
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:40.279
become inhabited by evil spirits who haunt and torment them regularly.

221
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.320
They know they can get new smoke alarms when their

222
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.639
smoke alarms go bad. Right, you're supposed to them every

223
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:47.519
ten years.

224
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.720
Oh gosh, oh man, my smoke alarm's way older than

225
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:51.399
ten years old.

226
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.279
Change it. What were you going to say, though, Oh?

227
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.000
I was gonna say, maybe you have to pay a

228
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.000
license to have a new smoke alarm, so they're like,

229
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.840
we can't afford new smoke alarms or they won't allow

230
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.440
us to. What if the smoke alarms are deemed historically

231
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.120
and culturally relevant so they can't replace.

232
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:13.120
Them, It's possible they should get new ones too, and

233
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:14.799
then just disconnect those.

234
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.159
The worst part is I'm picking on them, but I

235
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.320
don't even know if they do the historically and culturally

236
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.559
relevant crap as bad as we do it here. Yeah,

237
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.159
but I love that it'll be like we've deemed this

238
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.240
place historically and culturally relevant. It's like it was built

239
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.200
nineteen seventy four.

240
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.120
Yeah, that was a while ago.

241
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:31.240
It wasn't hot minute ago. I don't want to talk

242
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.000
about my own I don't want to talk about mortality

243
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:39.799
right now. Yeah. Quote, my independence is completely gone. I

244
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.399
can't even be alone in my own home. A dejected

245
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.919
Natasha said, I just feel like it wants everyone to

246
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.519
leave me on my own because it's more active when

247
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.840
I am alone, and I feel like it's just trying

248
00:14:52.879 --> 00:15:00.919
to get to me mentally. Oh that's sad. Yeah, that

249
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.559
has really said. Ross hasn't escaped the clutches of evil,

250
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.279
either suffering in his sleep and seeing physical signs on

251
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:12.159
his body. Quote. I worry that there is something evil here.

252
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:17.159
In recent days, I've been having violent dreams, disturbing visions

253
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:22.919
of fire. It's getting invasive. Now I found unexplained bruises

254
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.600
on myself. Now I'm starting to think it is about

255
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.120
the smoke alarms. Do you think the ghosts are trying

256
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.519
to tell them to get a new smoke alarm?

257
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.080
Yeah, they're like, guys, guys, you get it die, you

258
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.200
need to update these.

259
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.559
I wonder if I do. I do you know if

260
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.919
it's different. If your smoke detector is like what mine

261
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.440
was installed by my security company.

262
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:44.159
It might be different.

263
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.960
So it's like wired. It has a battery backup, but

264
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:49.200
it's wired as well.

265
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:51.960
I don't know about hardwired ones. I just heard that

266
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.000
you're supposed to You're supposed to replace them every ten years.

267
00:15:55.639 --> 00:16:00.279
Hmm. I'm gonna have to look into that. I know

268
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.679
it works because I I no joke, I'll have six

269
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.679
people smoking cigars in my living room, no smoke alarm,

270
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:14.080
brown one chicken breast, and yeah, I do have I

271
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.759
do have filtration, for the record, like I have, I

272
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.840
have air filters throughout the house that to keep the

273
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:21.879
smoke down, so that probably has something to do with it.

274
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.559
But I also want to show you this couple. They

275
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:28.320
don't even look insane. They look pretty normal.

276
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.679
I mean, I guess I don't know what insane people

277
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.279
look like. They look stad is what they are.

278
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:39.240
Yeah, they do. And the husband is slightly out of focus.

279
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.879
Yes, because the ghosts are over him. But I did

280
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.799
want to say though, that everything he said is just

281
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:50.399
not a big deal, Like, wow, I'm sorry. I have

282
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:54.440
really scary violent dreams. Sometimes I have bruises that I

283
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.639
don't know where they came from. There's probably another thing,

284
00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:59.039
but I can't remember what it was.

285
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.960
Yeah, but we all, myself and all the listeners of

286
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.640
the show already are pretty certain that you're haunted and

287
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.279
know it. Because of the whole thing where you freaked

288
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.000
out about the idea of a recorder near where you sleep.

289
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.519
We were all like, oh, yeah, she knows, we'll find something.

290
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:23.079
She knows. No, there's no doubt there. Well, we're going

291
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:24.880
to take a quick break and then we'll find out

292
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.240
more about why these ghosts are keeping these two from

293
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.759
making the beast with two backs and a baby. Right,

294
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.319
and we are back trying to find out why these

295
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:51.960
ghosts won't allow this uh married couple to start a family. Hmmm.

296
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.720
The torment has so unsettled the couple that they have

297
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:02.720
even paused their plans to start a family. Quote. We

298
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.920
had all these hopes of building a family here and

299
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:10.119
having lots of little children running around, said Natasha. I

300
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.119
can't imagine them running up and down the stairs. Or

301
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.480
I can imagine them running up and down the stairs.

302
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:19.160
But a house like this as it stands, that's not safety,

303
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:23.240
that's not comfort. I can't put a child there, ross.

304
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.680
Feared to be fair. Kids running up and down the

305
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.880
stairs just isn't safety anywhere.

306
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.519
Well, the trick is you hand them a pair of

307
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:35.440
scissors so they understand that the stakes are high.

308
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:37.960
Yeah, they gotta be careful exactly scissors.

309
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.640
Yeah yeah, yeah, they're like, oh, I better be careful.

310
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.079
I don't want to get shishka bobbed.

311
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:44.759
Yeah, gotta run up and down the stairs. Well, I'm

312
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:46.200
making sure to hold the banister.

313
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.599
Quote. Giving up the home or not having children is heartbreaking.

314
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.160
The team is our last hope, a desperate Natasha pleaded.

315
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.440
The team in question is a set of paranormal investigators

316
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.079
Guy Ian Lawman and Jane Harris from the brand new

317
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:09.039
series Help My House is Haunted. Scottish couple Natasha and

318
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:11.920
Ross desperately need the ghostbusting trio to cleanse their home

319
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.200
so that they can move forward with their lives and

320
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:15.759
begin to raise a family.

321
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.440
I think I know that show.

322
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.279
It's a commercial, a lot of these turnaments. Yeah.

323
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:23.839
Thanks.

324
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:29.640
I I do have to say though, like I I think, Shellie,

325
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:31.720
maybe you have insight because you're a little bit more

326
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:36.200
sentimental about houses than I am. Granted I have only

327
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:40.680
ever owned one, so it's not like I'm just flagrantly,

328
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.759
you know, disregarding homes or whatever. I do love my house.

329
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.440
It's just, you know, if I could easily afford a

330
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.519
bigger place, I would, but it's not worth the effort

331
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:52.160
it would take to get a bigger place for me.

332
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:54.880
Yeah, you don't have like dreams about that. You move

333
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:56.799
and then you think that that's the worst decision you've

334
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.839
ever made. Apparently.

335
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:01.319
Hmmm, No, No, I don't.

336
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:02.880
They're rough. They're really rough.

337
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:05.920
I would kill to have your space. I would love

338
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.680
to have your your house, your size. Just the ceilings,

339
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:12.000
the tall ceilings alone are so nice. You have really

340
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.920
nice tall ceilings.

341
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.519
I mean I have pretty standard ceilings for out here. Yeah.

342
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.640
How tall are your ceilings?

343
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:22.160
I think they're eight feet man?

344
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.920
Yeah, mine are like seven. Maybe it's probably a little

345
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.359
bit more than seven. But I can like jump and

346
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.200
touch my ceiling just barely. And I'm five foot eight,

347
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.960
so I'm not like super tall. I just if I

348
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.359
had if I had a if my ceilings were a

349
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.359
foot taller, I'd be so happy.

350
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:40.000
Okay, we could do that.

351
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.839
I've looked into it. It's not actually.

352
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:47.519
Easy to do. I mean it's possible. You just have

353
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:52.200
to move everything up. Everything everything, Yeah, including the roof,

354
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.160
maybe because of where the joys are.

355
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.599
But I guess if you only if you if you

356
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:01.000
only expanded it up once the roof was slant allowed it,

357
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:03.640
then you wouldn't have to affect the roof like you'd

358
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.119
have to, like it would just be in the middle

359
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:07.680
of toward the middle. It would just be higher. Or

360
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.359
you could do it at a slant. That'd be cool.

361
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:11.599
You could do like a cathedral ceiling. There you go.

362
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.680
Yeah, see problem problem not even vaguely solved. I just

363
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.079
need twenty eight thousand dollars to do it. Probably more.

364
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.079
Yeah, because you have to redo every Yeah the big deal.

365
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:27.079
Yeah yeah, yeah, But I just uh the quote where

366
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.680
they said where they said giving up the home or

367
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:36.599
not having children is heartbreaking. I if having a family

368
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.880
was important to me, I feel like I would not

369
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:43.039
be like, oh, it's heartbreaking to give up the home.

370
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:46.079
I'd be like, no, I want to have children. I

371
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:47.160
will find another home.

372
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:50.880
Well, I mean the home is making them totally upsets

373
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.799
all the time. It is not a happy, safe space

374
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.480
for them. So I don't understand why they'd be upset

375
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.839
not to have it, Like it's a house they could

376
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.720
probably afford to, say, and buy another house. It's probably

377
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.400
what they should do.

378
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.799
I am of the belief often when I read these

379
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.240
kinds of stories that there's an ulterior motive, like they're

380
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.680
trying to get out of People are often trying to

381
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:17.599
get out of leases or loans that they can't afford.

382
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.400
I don't think that. I don't think ghosts are going

383
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.799
to work like that. I don't think you can.

384
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.079
I think I didn't say it was a good idea.

385
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.839
If anything, I was saying it's the stupidest idea. It's

386
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:30.839
like it's like an act of total desperation. I mean,

387
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.960
that's kind of what caused The Amityville Horror to be written,

388
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:37.319
was they couldn't really afford the house.

389
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:39.319
So they were like, let's write a book.

390
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:44.119
Well no, they they they concocted a ghost story thing

391
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.559
to try to get out of living in the house, right,

392
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:51.079
and then a book was written based on it, and

393
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:52.880
they made tons and tons of money.

394
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.119
I feel really bad for that house, like really bad. Oh,

395
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.279
somebody lives there, yeah, but it's just it's I'm so

396
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.839
misunderstood and villainized, and I just feel bad for it.

397
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.359
I mean not really, I mean nope, it didn't sit

398
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:16.200
empty for long at all. Just saying, Okay, like the

399
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:20.079
family who lived there briefly in nineteen seventy five, Uh,

400
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:25.200
they're the ones the book was written about. It's the

401
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:31.000
address is one oh eight Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York,

402
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:35.079
and it's been sold multiple times. In twenty seventeen, it

403
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:37.680
was sold for six hundred and five thousand dollars.

404
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:44.720
That's so cheap. Uh that in twenty seventeen, I feel

405
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:47.440
like it is for like a famous house.

406
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.039
Well it's famous for being haunted, So I don't think

407
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:56.359
that helps now, you got me wondering. Thanks, So I

408
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.440
don't know. Well, we're going to take a quick break

409
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:06.640
and then and then we'll So now I'm thinking about

410
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.640
Amityville real estate, which is just why of course I would.

411
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:14.000
Yeah, yeah, don't you need to know?

412
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:16.599
I mean I kind of want to know.

413
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.279
I mean, maybe six hundred thousand is fair.

414
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.519
I don't know, Well, in twenty seven or in twenty seventeen,

415
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:28.920
I'm sure it's worth million now at least Amityville house

416
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.720
sales history. Yeah, it just sold in twenty twenty three

417
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.279
for one point four to six million.

418
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:36.279
Okay, all right, then I'll give them that.

419
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.799
Oh, which was two hundred and forty thousand dollars less

420
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:44.039
than asking. The I feel like once houses are over

421
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:49.079
a million, the whole like asking thing is ridiculous. I mean,

422
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:50.880
like the way, like it just doesn't make sense, the

423
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:52.839
way it like, you know, it's like, yeah, we took

424
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:54.240
two hundred thousand off. It's like yeah, but it was

425
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.079
still one point four million dollars.

426
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.160
You know, think about how many thousands that is. But

427
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.079
you could buy a whole other house with that bunny

428
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:03.839
that I.

429
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.519
Mean, in another place. Yeah. Oh yeah, So here here's

430
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.359
a somewhat detailed breakdown. The house was foreclosed on in

431
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:17.319
nineteen seventy seven after the let's is left. It was

432
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.359
then it then sold to a guy named James Cromarty

433
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:25.640
who lived there for ten years. Then in nineteen ninety

434
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:29.759
seven it was sold for three hundred and ten thousand dollars.

435
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.599
Twenty ten, it was sold for one point one five million.

436
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.960
Twenty sixteen it was sold. It was put on the

437
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.400
market for eight fifty and sold for six oh five.

438
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:45.440
That's really interesting though, because wait, when did you say

439
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:46.960
it sold for one point.

440
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:50.039
Five in twenty twenty three? Very recently?

441
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.440
Oh no, no, like before that. The one before the.

442
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:56.920
Oh to twenty ten was when it sold or was

443
00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:59.680
listed at one point one five, But it sold for eight.

444
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.079
Fifty, so it's still really in.

445
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.960
Yeah, yeah, sorry. It's really interesting.

446
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:08.200
That the price went down that much in twenty seventeen

447
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:10.079
because there wasn't really anything going on in the market

448
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:14.079
over there. Twenty ten was right after the collapse of everything,

449
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:16.119
so that should have been the low one. So I

450
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:17.960
do think six hundred thousand was low.

451
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.160
Yeah, that does sound a bit low, but it also

452
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.599
sat for a really long time and we don't know

453
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:25.240
anything about Amityville, New York.

454
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:27.240
It's really nice, I believe.

455
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.640
I'm sure it's very nice. I'm just saying, like, for

456
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:34.279
all we know, like you know, houses were overvalued there

457
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:40.000
for a long time or something possible. Well, great, now

458
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:41.359
we went down a rabbit hole. We're going to take

459
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:42.880
a quick break, and when we get back, we're going

460
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:55.000
to talk about the story. Right after this, we have returned,

461
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.920
continuing our spooky news story. And apparently the Scottish cup

462
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.680
who are struggling to have or to with the desire

463
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.119
to have children in their newly haunted house, are going

464
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:10.000
to rely on a team from some new television show.

465
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.880
Yeah that Michelle might be watching actively.

466
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:17.400
I'm not right now because but in fast maybe hmmm.

467
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.200
Well it says brand new series Help my House is Haunted.

468
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:23.799
Mmm. I feel like I've seen it though, but I

469
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:26.480
don't know because normally when it comes on, I fall asleep.

470
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.839
So ouch, there we go, because this article is from

471
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:31.119
like three days ago.

472
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.119
Oh okay, well maybe it's so, I don't know.

473
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:41.200
In shocking footage captured by Help my House's Haunted team,

474
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.119
whilst they attempted to connect with the menacing spirit, Bari

475
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.519
gets stabbed with three drawing pins in the back of

476
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.720
his leg. What what is a drawing pin?

477
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:53.799
I don't know.

478
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:56.839
Do they mean drawing pen?

479
00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:59.440
No? I think they mean pin?

480
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:03.559
I oh no, I wasn't ready for this. What is

481
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:08.960
a drawing pin? Oh? It's like a pushpin?

482
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:14.200
Oh? How does does he sit on them? Or was

483
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.279
did they just it?

484
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:16.559
Says, back of his leg?

485
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:20.559
So could be could be sat down on them?

486
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.519
Well, this is where it gets worse. Barry gets or

487
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:26.079
Bari gets stabbed with three drawing pins in the back

488
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:28.680
of his leg, which he declares as quote the weirdest

489
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:30.960
thing that's ever happened to me. Well that he has

490
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:37.279
a very easy life really. After the team arrived at

491
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.240
the property and began to carry out their investigations, they

492
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:43.160
turned to their alice box in an attempt to communicate

493
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:46.640
with any lurking presence. To the team's surprise, the entity

494
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:50.039
immediately fires a warning shot to them by setting off

495
00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:55.000
the smoke alarm in the house. Mmmmm, there's a lot

496
00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:01.319
of reference to fire. Hm hmmm, I think quote, I

497
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:03.599
think this is a warning. We need to be careful,

498
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.720
says a weary Ian. A wary Ian, alerting the others.

499
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.799
Jane makes an interesting symbolic connection between Natasha and setting

500
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.680
off the smoke alarm quote, do you know what's weird though,

501
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:18.640
this kind of connection between the dreams you've been having

502
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.480
about fire. It's almost as if the smoke alarm going off,

503
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:26.440
it's trying to trigger your worst fears. It's trying to

504
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.519
intimidate you. She explains, that is the worst interpretation.

505
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:34.720
I mean, my interpretation is smoke alarm goes off a lot,

506
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:36.960
thinking about all the lot have dreams about fire.

507
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.000
But I think she's claiming that she had dreams about

508
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.559
fire first, which maybe maybe My point is, if I

509
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:48.920
was going to put on my creative Charlatan hat on this,

510
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:53.079
m h, I wouldn't assume that it's trying to make

511
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:55.160
you upset, because, like, first of all, that means that

512
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.039
the thing is knowing what you're dreaming.

513
00:29:57.640 --> 00:29:58.119
Mm hmmm.

514
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:00.440
If it's gonna know what you're dreaming, why not go

515
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.880
all the way and say it's giving you fire dreams

516
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:06.880
right right? Because to me, my first thought was, oh,

517
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.400
it sounds like the narrative is going to be that

518
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.640
whatever is haunting this place died through fire.

519
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:17.720
Yeah, and it's trying to communicate.

520
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:19.960
It yeah, which I've always liked the idea of like

521
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:21.880
that the dead are just like man. I just wish

522
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.839
they're like us. They just wish someone would listen. Yeah,

523
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.519
I just want to tell you what happened, man, Yeah.

524
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:29.599
It was really bad. I just want to talk about it.

525
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.799
Except I do want to talk about it like all

526
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:34.960
the time. Actually, it's all I ever talked about. I

527
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.319
have no friends all the all the of old age

528
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:43.480
ghosts are just like, dude, come on, just all you do.

529
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:46.240
It's hard.

530
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:51.920
Oh. Natasha agreed that she quote dreams about house fires

531
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.440
all the time. M do you dream? Have you ever

532
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:56.519
dreamt about a house fire?

533
00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:57.680
Yeah?

534
00:30:58.400 --> 00:30:59.799
Yikes, that must have been scary.

535
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:02.359
Yeah, I mean I don't really, I know I have,

536
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:05.319
like I can't exactly remember offhand.

537
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:10.000
But sure I might have once. I don't know. I

538
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.279
don't have recurring dreams. Really, I barely remember my dreams.

539
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:14.039
Yeah.

540
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:18.359
So Natasha has been the most affected by the paranormal

541
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.079
activity in the house, so the team decides the best

542
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:25.720
way to confront any entity is via an ESTs experiment,

543
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.960
which involves Natasha wearing noise canceling headphones to hear and

544
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:34.039
verbally repeat the responses of the spirit. Despite being unable

545
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:39.519
to hear the questions that Jane is posing. Who are you?

546
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.240
Jane calls out, which is met with a response of

547
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:44.880
laughter from Natasha on behalf of the entity.

548
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.799
Wait, what it's supposed to be talking through her? But

549
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:53.359
technically she shouldn't be able to hear what the questions are,

550
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:55.160
but the entity should be able to hear what the

551
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.880
questions are because the ntiity isn't her, but it is

552
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:02.359
talking through her, so this it can answer.

553
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:07.319
This is stupid, But what if it works? I mean,

554
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:13.640
what if it works? It's just I like, does Natasha

555
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.400
not find it weird that she's answering questioned? Like I

556
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:18.920
didn't feel like she had mentioned she was possessed before

557
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:21.240
and now it sounds like she's possessed.

558
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:24.319
Well, it seems like andites could just do this, Like

559
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:27.240
that's just what they do, not like totally possessed, but

560
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:31.039
like give suggestions to the person so they know what

561
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:31.720
to say.

562
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:34.720
See, because for my my thought process would be like

563
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:37.960
the only reason even bring in the headphones to cancel

564
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.039
out her ability to hear would be to prove to

565
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.759
disprove that it's fake, and no one's saying it's fake,

566
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:46.480
Like we haven't even gotten to the part where somebody

567
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:47.920
says like, oh, she's just pretending.

568
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:53.079
See what I've seen other ghost hunters do is use

569
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:55.559
kind of a similar method, but with a spirit box.

570
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:57.319
So you know, it's scanning the radio freaking sies and

571
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.880
things are coming through. So you have one person listening

572
00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:02.920
to that just that with noise canceling headphones, so they

573
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.000
can't hear what the questions are, and so someone else

574
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:08.920
asking the questions and they can only hear what the

575
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:12.079
spirit box is saying, so they're interpreting it. And then

576
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.319
you have them saying things, but they don't know what

577
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:17.119
they're answering to, so whatever they say isn't being influenced.

578
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.640
Oh so they're hearing something like actively and repeating it.

579
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:25.880
Yeah, well, in that specific method, right, and I'm talking

580
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.079
about in this one, it sounds like they're just putting

581
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:31.440
headphones on, like noise canceling headphones. Yeah.

582
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:33.839
Well, it says wearing noise canceling headphones to hear and

583
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:36.079
verbally repeat the responses of the spirit So I think

584
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:38.319
they're doing the same thing. It's just not described very well.

585
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:41.240
It could be, but I've also seen people do it

586
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:44.319
without the spirit box. And I never really understood what

587
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.720
that was supposed to. Yeah, yeah, fair enough.

588
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.640
Uh quote do you think this is amusing? She asks?

589
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:58.039
Shush it responds it's growling. Natasha tells Jane, why do

590
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:02.200
you growl? Are you trying to scare yes. Jane continues

591
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:06.720
to ask further questions, getting immediate intelligent responses despite Natasha

592
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:09.440
not being able to hear. Jane quote, oh my god,

593
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:13.519
this is amazing, guys, this is absolutely incredible. There's no

594
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:16.159
way on earth Natasha can hear my questions and the

595
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.280
responses are bang on. This thing is speaking and amazed,

596
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:24.199
Jane says on the radio to the team, get out.

597
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:29.239
Natasha worryingly communicates for the entity, followed by the word evil.

598
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:33.440
I they should do that experiment with me. I'd have

599
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:40.519
a great time. Get out, evil missionary sex what what

600
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:47.639
just answer? The weirdest things? That estes experiment was mind blowing,

601
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:50.159
But it has confirmed that we are dealing with something

602
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:54.440
very dark, Bari said, concerned later that evening, Natasha and

603
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:56.960
Ross leave the team to continue investigating through the night.

604
00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:59.440
Whilst they're calling out to the spirits. One of the

605
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:04.360
most shocked moments and help my house's haunted history occurs.

606
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:10.119
Maybe this was a new episode and not a new show. Yeah,

607
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:13.320
they need a copy editor so bad. As the team

608
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:16.159
are trying to decipher what the entity is communicating to them,

609
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:18.800
Bari is stabbed with three sharp drawing pins into the

610
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:22.000
back of his leg. What the fuck is that? Something

611
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:24.320
just stabbed me? Something just stabbed me in the back

612
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:26.559
of my leg. Am I bleeding? How the hell where

613
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.320
did they come from? Sorry, I'm just freaked out. That's

614
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:31.920
the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me, said Bari,

615
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:36.000
horrified and confused. I got horrified and confused from that reading.

616
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:41.320
I do love startled people being transcribed. Yeah, it's pretty good.

617
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:45.000
The antics continue as the team move into the bedroom,

618
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:47.760
as Jane feels something beneath the bed grab at her

619
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:51.440
foot and try to pull her under. Quote. That's totally

620
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:54.239
just freaked me out. Something's just reached from my ankle

621
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:57.320
and I'm not even joking, A disturbed Jane relays, does

622
00:35:57.360 --> 00:35:58.280
she usually joke?

623
00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:03.639
That's what I was wondering? Sometimes sometimes she's lying? Basically so.

624
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:08.800
Will The team succeed in ridding Natasha and Ross's property

625
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:12.239
of the malevolent forces, allowing them to feel comfortable enough

626
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:17.039
to start a family in their home. So that's it ended. Apparently,

627
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:20.519
you know, nah, I'll give them, I'll let them have

628
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:25.239
the plug. Apparently this this show is exclusively on Discovery Plus.

629
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:28.360
Well that's why I know, because I saw it on

630
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.280
the Travel Channel sometimes.

631
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:33.519
Ah it says March six is when it comes out.

632
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:35.760
So and this article is on the twenty fifth of March.

633
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:38.280
Okay, I mean I assume just the earlier seasons were

634
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:39.199
on the Travel Channel.

635
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:43.199
Yeah, probably probably so, but we'll have to decide. We'll

636
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:46.480
have to figure out that mystery and several others after

637
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:57.920
this short break and we're back. Michelle, I have a

638
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:02.000
question for you. When was the last time you went

639
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:03.039
to the library?

640
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:13.320
Uh? Which month is it? February twenty second?

641
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.440
Oh? Was that that library in New York? Yeah, when

642
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.920
you were touring banana fish locations from the anime, You're like, wow,

643
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:25.800
this place was drawn in the anime too, and this

644
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:29.360
place was drawn, but you didn't go in because you

645
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.559
were because you made the mistake of saying you were

646
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:33.840
you were there to to tour it.

647
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.480
No, we went in and I didn't say tour. They said,

648
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.000
what are you doing? Are you visiting? And we said yes,

649
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:43.480
and that was enough, and we did go in because

650
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.519
they had a tour at three o'clock and it was

651
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:49.920
two forty five, so we just waited and then we

652
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.159
went in and we stared at it.

653
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:54.800
It was really weird. So so you count touring a

654
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:58.079
library as the same as going to a library, if.

655
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.280
By going you mean going in a line library, Yes,

656
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:02.199
I do.

657
00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:06.880
Okay, geez, okay, Well I do not even remember the

658
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:09.639
last time I went to a library. I like much better.

659
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:13.239
Nothing against libraries, I just don't. I don't go. When

660
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.280
I was a kid, we used to rent movies pretty

661
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:20.440
much exclusively from the library because it was free. I

662
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:25.800
remember renting VHS tapes like crazy. But have you ever

663
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.880
had a like embarrassingly overdue book?

664
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:36.199
I don't know. I don't think so. Sorry never, I

665
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:37.159
don't remember.

666
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:44.519
Look at you. Well, somebody in Detroit has made has

667
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:48.800
gotten very lucky because on this Huffington Post article, the

668
00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:52.920
headline is Detroit Area Library, let's man keep baseball book

669
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:55.199
fifty years overdue?

670
00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:04.119
Wow, fifty years. I would assume after that, after like

671
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:06.400
a couple years, they've just goneah, we're never getting back,

672
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.239
and they'd get rid of it. In the system.

673
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:11.760
But yeah, you'd think. I mean, my first though would

674
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:13.719
be is that book worth anything now? Because it's fifty

675
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:19.400
years old? So U Fifty years later, a man who

676
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.679
grew up in suburban Detroit tried to return a very

677
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:29.039
overdue baseball book to his boyhood library. The answer, you

678
00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:35.960
can keep it and no fine. A. Chuck Hildebrandt, sixty three,

679
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:39.719
of Chicago, said he visited the public library in Warren

680
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:44.960
while in town for Thanksgiving, carrying a book titled Baseball's

681
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:51.440
Zaniest Stars. He had borrowed it in nineteen seventy four

682
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:55.400
as a thirteen year old baseball nut, but never returned it.

683
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.920
Wow, he stole quote what he stole?

684
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:01.199
He stole it?

685
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:02.239
Yeah.

686
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:05.840
Quote. When you're moving with a bunch of books, you're

687
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.480
not examining every book. You throw them in a box

688
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.599
and go, said Hildebrandt, who has lived in many cities,

689
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:17.199
avoiding many libraries. Perhaps I don't know, maybe that's why

690
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:21.119
he has this transient lifestyle. Yeah, the libraries are like

691
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:22.719
they sent him a letter and says like, we know

692
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.119
what you're doing. And he's like, well, gotta move to Detroit,

693
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.639
got to move to gotta move to eerie. Quote. But

694
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:31.719
five or six years ago, I was going through the

695
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:35.320
bookshelf and there was a Dewey decimal library number on

696
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.360
the book. What is this? Inside the book was a

697
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:40.800
slip of paper indicating that it was due back at

698
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:45.920
the Warren Library on December fourth, nineteen seventy four. Hildebrandt

699
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.199
told the Associated Press that he decided to keep the

700
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:53.840
book until twenty twenty four, the fiftieth anniversus, and then

701
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.800
try to return it. He figured the library might want

702
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:05.079
to publicize the law long overdue exchange. Wow, so he

703
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:06.760
thought it would be good. I guess he thought it'd

704
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:11.400
be good publicity from the library. Well, all this is

705
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:14.679
doing is promoting him. Yeah, I'm that guy who is

706
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:15.639
not worth trusting.

707
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.239
What yeah? I mean I was gonna say I thought

708
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:19.679
he was promoting himself.

709
00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:28.440
Yeah, yeah, thieving bastard. He said he recently met library

710
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:33.320
director Oxana Urban, who listened to his pitch. Hildebrandt said

711
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:36.599
he hasn't heard anything since then, though, Urban told the

712
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:40.639
Detroit Free Press that all is forgiven. Quote. Some people

713
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:43.000
never come back to face the music, she said of

714
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.280
patrons with overdue books. But there was really no music

715
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:48.920
to face because he and the book were erased from

716
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:49.599
our system.

717
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:52.480
Yeah yeah, Now it.

718
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:55.039
Sounds like they're not playing along at all. It sounds

719
00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:57.840
like they're just annoyed that he contacted them.

720
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:02.840
Yeah. Yeah, fifty years on the anniversary. Common they have

721
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:03.400
any other.

722
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:05.480
Things to do at least He was like, how about

723
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:10.639
we make this fun? Mmm, I'm just saying for him,

724
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.119
Well sure, I'm just saying. Her response of like, you know,

725
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:16.719
there was no music to face this, not on our system.

726
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:19.840
Who cares. It's like you could have said, like something

727
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:23.480
funny about like we appreciate his desire to make it right,

728
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:25.159
you know, or something. I don't know.

729
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:30.119
It's it's not on that librarian to make the story.

730
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:35.679
Well, now you're gonna feel bad because he did something

731
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:42.000
maybe nice. So Baseball's Zanious Stars is back on Hildebrandt's shelf.

732
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.239
In return, he's now trying to raise four thousand, five

733
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:49.000
hundred and sixty four dollars for Reading is Fundamental, a

734
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:53.239
nonprofit literacy group. The amount roughly represents a fifty year

735
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:54.840
overdue library fine.

736
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:03.320
So he's making other people fun his his his overdue

737
00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:04.519
library book fund.

738
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:08.400
Hildebrandt is seating the effort with four hundred and fifty

739
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:11.079
seven dollars, that was the next sentence. So he put

740
00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:12.559
in four hundred and fifty seven dollars.

741
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.039
Wow, four hundred and fifty seven dollars.

742
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:19.519
I think he thought they were going to charge him,

743
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:21.960
and he was willing to pay it as like a

744
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.239
good deed, like paying a library.

745
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:26.159
Okay.

746
00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:28.119
But now in the library is like, we don't care,

747
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:28.760
go away.

748
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:31.559
Yeah, and he was like, okay, I'll get other people

749
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:32.079
to pay it.

750
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:35.400
Then, I mean, does it still not help?

751
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:37.360
I mean.

752
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:44.199
Yes, as of this recording, he's raised five three hundred

753
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.679
and forty five dollars okay for charity.

754
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:49.840
Well that's nice.

755
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:54.880
So I'm sorry that you hate that he wanted to help. Yeah.

756
00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:56.920
Yeah, it made this all about him.

757
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:00.599
I mean it sounds like he was trying not to

758
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:03.960
make it about him, and that the response the library

759
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:05.880
gave him made him just go, okay, I guess I'll

760
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.800
just make this a news story to raise money instead

761
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:12.559
of being a news story to help the library. Perhaps,

762
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.199
I mean, maybe what do you have against this guy?

763
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:18.599
Did you work at a library and he borrowed a

764
00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:20.000
book from you?

765
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.360
You could tell me no, but I did know. But

766
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:26.400
I did have a librarian that told me like the

767
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:31.400
saddest story about this guy, and she got fired and

768
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:34.960
I just don't I just don't like him. You don't

769
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:36.800
wait fifty years to return something.

770
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:41.119
No, wow, fair enough.

771
00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:43.639
And I don't even know what happened to that librarian.

772
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:44.559
I don't know if she's.

773
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:47.239
Okay, probably long dead.

774
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:49.360
Yeah.

775
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:51.639
Well, on that dark note, we're gonna take break and

776
00:44:51.719 --> 00:45:04.880
be back with more spooky news right after this, we

777
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:09.440
are back with another story from Mirror dot co dot UK.

778
00:45:11.199 --> 00:45:16.280
The headline reads, ghost hunters startled as spirit confronts them

779
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:18.719
with rude two word phrase.

780
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:20.159
Wow.

781
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:25.880
Do you do you know what it is?

782
00:45:26.599 --> 00:45:28.880
I mean I would just assume like it's like fuck

783
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:30.840
you or wow?

784
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.000
What what were they? What were your guesses?

785
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.800
They both for fuck and then another word.

786
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.239
Okay, I can accept that that it's just fuck and

787
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:50.920
another word of your choosing, you know, yeah, I hm

788
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:58.800
hm uh uh, holy shit.

789
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:01.280
Now that's not rude.

790
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:06.960
No, it's not. Well, we'll find out at least you

791
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:10.559
put your guests in. Well, you took the best guesses

792
00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:13.159
because fuck you and fuck off you got both.

793
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:14.679
I'm sorry.

794
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:18.440
So I'm trying to think of like a rude to

795
00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:19.719
word phrase.

796
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:23.400
What about shut up shut Oh.

797
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:26.559
That is rude. I was I've been watching a lot

798
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:29.119
of documentaries about nineties wrestling, so I was like, what

799
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:29.800
about suck it?

800
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:30.719
Yeah?

801
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:36.159
The catchphrase? If ever, there was a perfect example of

802
00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:38.880
like late nineties, early two thousands. It was like, yeah,

803
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:41.480
the number one show on TV, one of the main

804
00:46:41.559 --> 00:46:44.320
characters had a catchphrase and it was suck it. That

805
00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:48.480
is that is like in a nutshell the world we

806
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:53.960
grew up in. Yeah, I remember a classmate, uh did

807
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:59.280
a the degeneration X crotch chop from WWF and said

808
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:04.920
suck it to a teacher and he got suspended. Oh

809
00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:09.679
simpler times. Yeah. A pair of ghost hunters were horrified

810
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:14.880
after visiting an abandoned graveyard recently and claimed a spirit

811
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:20.280
issued a rude two word phrase to them. So, I mean,

812
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.760
I guess a graveyard could be abandoned because we've went

813
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:23.159
to one.

814
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:24.800
Yeah, exactly.

815
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:28.320
It just feels weird to call a graveyard abandoned when

816
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:30.159
mostly it's dead people that live there. But there is

817
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:32.239
a lot of maintenance at a graveyard.

818
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:33.800
Yeah, people own it.

819
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:39.840
So Paul, cow madow, cow medow, cow meadow. It literally

820
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:43.719
is cow meadow. Is how it's spelled huh. Paul cow

821
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:49.000
Medow Meadow Meadow Medow forty eight and Ed Francis fifty

822
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:55.280
one own own Gloucester Paranormal Investigation Services or GPIS, and

823
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:59.480
are well known for their spooky adventures across the United Kingdom.

824
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:03.000
The duo, who bonded over their love of all things paranormal,

825
00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:07.920
decided seven years ago to start planning investigations. Now they

826
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:11.360
spent their time. They spend their time exploring old farmhouses,

827
00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:18.000
abandoned buildings, graveyards, railways and churches. On one occasion, they

828
00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:24.719
visited Horton Road Cemetery in their home county of Gloucester, Gloucester, Gloucestershire.

829
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:27.599
There we go, I wonder if it's Gloucestershire.

830
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:31.119
It's probably Gloucestershire. It's worcestershar sauce.

831
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:32.559
Yeah.

832
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:37.559
I make Rachel enraged because she can't say Worster shehar sauce.

833
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:40.480
Can you say Worcester shehar.

834
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:42.239
Sauce, Worcester sauce.

835
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:46.599
Yeah, yeah, I don't find it difficult No, and have

836
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:52.239
shared their disturbing encounter. The duo claim, while carrying out

837
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:56.519
their investigation at ten pm ah Man that a spirit

838
00:48:56.639 --> 00:49:03.840
told them to quote drum roll, eat shit.

839
00:49:04.719 --> 00:49:06.440
Oh man, why didn't we get that?

840
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:12.440
I know, I'm so disappointed. I really I figured you

841
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:14.840
nailed it. That's why I was like, I don't know, like,

842
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:19.960
eat shit, that's perfect. Yeah, what a rude ghost.

843
00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:22.159
And then you have to say no, I don't like to.

844
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:27.960
I'd prefer not, Paul said quote. The graveyard is said

845
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:31.599
to be part of the now abandoned Horton Road Mental Hospital,

846
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:35.519
and patients from the asylum are believed to be buried there.

847
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:40.039
It has since been left to overgrow and hidden away.

848
00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:43.800
Even though the public walk by it every day, nobody

849
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:47.960
really sees it. The cemetery is also well known for

850
00:49:48.079 --> 00:50:00.079
being haunted. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, probably, yeah, I don't know. Yeah,

851
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:03.119
did I tell you. There's this YouTube channel I've been

852
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:08.840
following called Dime Store Adventures. Maybe they're a smaller I mean,

853
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:10.559
they're not like a tiny channel, but they're not like

854
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:14.199
a giant channel. He has like ninety thousand subscribers, and

855
00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:18.840
it's this guy who lives in New England and he

856
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:25.599
just investigates New England weirdness and there's so much Oh okay,

857
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:27.519
I just want to throw that out there. It's called

858
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:29.360
Dime Store Adventures. It's really fun. And the reason I

859
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:32.840
thought of it was he went to a cemetery at

860
00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:36.119
a former mental hospital where none of the graves are labeled,

861
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:40.599
like they all have numbers, no names, and he found

862
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:45.400
the document with the names and causes of death on it. Wow,

863
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:48.760
And he went around on video, you know, just like

864
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:53.880
standing in front of graves with the most interesting deaths,

865
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:57.920
you know, or the most interesting backstories. And that's another

866
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:00.400
thing he does a lot, is like finds interesting grave

867
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:04.280
markers and things like that. He did a exploration of

868
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:07.880
all the stone walls that are randomly all over New England.

869
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:09.280
That's what you told me about.

870
00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:11.920
Yeah, yeah, it's really interesting. So I just want to

871
00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:13.440
mention that because that made me think of it because

872
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.679
of a mental hospital cemetery. So as if that's not

873
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:18.599
as if a cemetery isn't creepy enough, and a mental

874
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:20.880
hospital isn't creepy enough, the cemetery.

875
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:22.119
Of one, I just think it's sad.

876
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:26.639
I mean it's sad too. That's what makes it scary.

877
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:29.400
I mean, I see, that's why it's creepy out. It

878
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:34.119
creeps me out, is because it's sad. Speaking about what

879
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:36.679
it was like the ghost hunter added quote, as we

880
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:42.679
entered the graveyard, the atmosphere completely changed. It became carbon monoxide.

881
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:46.199
Now no, even though there's a road in a public

882
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:48.760
path on the other side of the wall, it felt

883
00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:51.960
almost like we were somewhere else. The overgrown look of

884
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:56.000
the place certainly made it look and feel creepy. There

885
00:51:56.079 --> 00:51:58.599
was certainly an eerie feeling in the air, and the

886
00:51:58.639 --> 00:52:02.599
pair felt like they were not alone. Paul explained, quote,

887
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:09.280
we felt like we weren't alone, like we were phenomenal

888
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:13.320
phenomenal journalism, like we were being watched, which is what

889
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.320
we managed to confirm during our investigations there with the

890
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:19.760
responses that we received through our equipment. I just want

891
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:21.639
to mention that reminds me of those those movie trailers

892
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:25.960
where it's like he he, he lived by his own rules.

893
00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:30.079
I live by my own rules, you know. Quote. While

894
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:33.280
moving around the graveyard, a spirit asked a question through

895
00:52:33.320 --> 00:52:37.920
the Spirit Talker app, asking am I dead? I love

896
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:40.519
that it's an app spirits can do you can deal

897
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:41.079
with apps?

898
00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:45.800
Yeah, yeah, because they can manipulate the electro things in

899
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:49.679
the app. They're like, you know how to do algorithms.

900
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:51.000
The app algorithms.

901
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:56.119
Yeah, we responded by telling them, yes you are, and

902
00:52:56.199 --> 00:53:01.960
the spirit generated two more words for us. Shit. That's

903
00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:05.719
the response to, am I dead? Yes you are? Sorry,

904
00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:08.840
eat shit? Man, I want to hang out with that ghost.

905
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:11.320
That ghost sounds so cool. He's probably wearing like a

906
00:53:11.360 --> 00:53:17.159
spike bracelet and sunglasses. Yeah, but more, Oh sorry please?

907
00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:19.679
Oh. I was just gonna say, I think when someone

908
00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:21.679
asked you if you're dead and you're not sure who

909
00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:23.880
they are supposed to say, I mean, I don't really.

910
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:26.000
Know, probably, but I don't know.

911
00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:28.440
Man, do you think you're dead?

912
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:31.960
But it's also a little harsh to say, eat shit back,

913
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:35.119
but kind of awesome. Yeah, but more does happen with

914
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:37.960
the encounter and we'll find out about it right after this.

915
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.440
We're back and our intrepid ghost hunters have just been

916
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:54.360
told to consume feces by a spirit via an app.

917
00:53:56.400 --> 00:54:01.239
It's pretty good, pretty good. The pair said that they

918
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:03.719
came to the conclusion that it must be a spirit.

919
00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:08.840
Be a spirit? Is must be a spirit? Is that is? Man?

920
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:12.400
Get a copy editor mirrat dot coda UK. Quote in

921
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:16.800
denial and quote doesn't want to believe they are actually dead.

922
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:20.239
They said, well, then why is it going around asking strangers, Hey,

923
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:20.840
am I dead?

924
00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:24.559
Yeah? I mean obviously it's concerned that it could be dead,

925
00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:27.239
because I don't usually ask people if Okay, I ask

926
00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:30.920
people if I'm dead all the time. But oh yeah,

927
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:31.599
am I dead?

928
00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:41.679
Uh? I don't know. Thank God, at least she didn't

929
00:54:41.679 --> 00:54:47.639
tell me to eat shit. Oh oh my god. The

930
00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:52.280
also claim They also claim god get a copy editor,

931
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:56.639
guys that the Spirits ask, quote, what's the box? Explain

932
00:54:56.760 --> 00:54:57.400
that device?

933
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:00.639
Hmm, what's in the box?

934
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:04.239
In one video they shared online, a ball they had

935
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:06.599
taken with them moved off of a grave with the

936
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:10.880
name Thomas on it. Paul said quote. The Spirits also

937
00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:14.320
produced the word abandoned, which made us think about how

938
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:17.639
the graveyard is abandoned and nobody takes care of the

939
00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:22.519
graves anymore, causing them to become overgrown and almost invisible

940
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:23.199
in places.

941
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:25.400
Mm hmm, yeah, it's rough.

942
00:55:26.639 --> 00:55:29.360
At one point, Ed started removing some of the ivy

943
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:32.360
and leaves away from a nearby grave, making it more visible,

944
00:55:32.519 --> 00:55:37.119
and the Spirits produced the words thank you so much, oh,

945
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:41.119
and also said that it was nice to see us.

946
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:45.440
I mean, it is nicer than each shit.

947
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:48.880
I mean, I thought each shit was kind of playful,

948
00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:49.639
but okay.

949
00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:54.639
Paul added, quote, this is one of those locations that

950
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:58.559
will definitely be ongoing for us. The spirits that reside

951
00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:01.400
there enjoyed our company, and we're glad that we returned

952
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:04.199
to communicate with them. And we hope that the spirit

953
00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:09.880
that is in denial about being dead isn't too offended.

954
00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:18.280
Yeah yeah, aw aw well, at least it ended somewhat nice,

955
00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:18.719
I guess.

956
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:25.159
Yeah, so, Michelle, our next story. Have you ever heard

957
00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:33.320
the term crime doesn't pay? No man, your parents or

958
00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:33.880
something else.

959
00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:37.719
Yeah, they told me that crime absolutely does pay, which

960
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:40.559
is why I shouldn't do it, because I shouldn't be successful.

961
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:46.960
That doesn't sound like your parents at all. I know. Well,

962
00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:52.280
this NPR story, the headline is United Kingdom court finds

963
00:56:52.360 --> 00:56:58.159
men who stole six million dollar gold toilet guilty. Oh no,

964
00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:04.679
six million dollar gold toilet.

965
00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:08.920
Well, I mean, I guess it's like solid gold.

966
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:11.719
It looks like it. I'm showing you a picture.

967
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:13.360
I know, but I don't I like it.

968
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:15.159
It's not even in a fancy bathroom.

969
00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:18.639
It's this is where it belongs.

970
00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:26.480
It's just there. What the hell I don't I don't

971
00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:29.960
know it turns out that a porcelain throne can also

972
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:33.079
be made of gold. Great writing in pr At least

973
00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:36.119
that was the vision behind Italian artist. Ah, it was

974
00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:40.119
an art installation, thing, is it?

975
00:57:40.320 --> 00:57:42.559
I bet? I bet it's not even really made of gold?

976
00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:44.719
Then it's just spray painted gold.

977
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:46.360
Well, hold on.

978
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:47.639
I don't believe it.

979
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:51.679
Let's see this was That was the vision behind Italian

980
00:57:51.800 --> 00:58:01.280
artist Maurizio Catalans Catalans artwork titled America, created in twenty sixteen. Honestly,

981
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:02.159
that's a great title.

982
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:03.320
Yeah.

983
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:07.840
Yeah. The installation featured a fully functional toilet cast in

984
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:09.719
eighteen carrot gold.

985
00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:11.599
Oh wow, okay, geez.

986
00:58:13.719 --> 00:58:16.400
The funny thing is if we titled it, we would

987
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:19.400
call it Italy or Europe because we'd be like, why

988
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:22.599
would you actually, to prove a point make an actual

989
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.480
eighteen carrot gold toilet? We'd be like, why wouldn't you

990
00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:26.760
just gold plate it since it's art?

991
00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:29.840
Yeah, or spray painted gold would look the same.

992
00:58:30.599 --> 00:58:32.880
I wonder how much it would cost. I mean, I

993
00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:34.719
know what they're saying it's valued at, but I wonder

994
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:36.800
how much it would literally cost to create it.

995
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:39.840
I mean, it wouldn't be cheap, maybe.

996
00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:41.679
No, I mean, eighteen carrot gold's on the cheaper side

997
00:58:41.679 --> 00:58:43.159
of gold, but it's still gold.

998
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:47.559
Well, a fourteen carrot is generally accepted as like, that's

999
00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:51.079
kind of like the jewelry standard, right, so eighteen is

1000
00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:53.320
more than that. It's also softer.

1001
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:56.519
Then, Oh, does I might have it backwards?

1002
00:58:56.719 --> 00:59:01.760
Yeah, the carrots go up, they get more good that way.

1003
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:07.039
Yeah, you're totally right. I had it backwards. Sorry, Oh

1004
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:09.760
that's okay. Damn than that? Yeah, yeah, because.

1005
00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:11.519
He could have done like ten carrot gold, he could

1006
00:59:11.519 --> 00:59:12.159
have done.

1007
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:15.880
Gold eight cac yeah, which well, and lower carrot gold

1008
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:18.239
would have made more sense because it would be more durable,

1009
00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:21.840
assuming people are going to use this toilet.

1010
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:24.760
But I guess that's not the point.

1011
00:59:26.159 --> 00:59:29.559
Well, then all of it is ruined. If no one's

1012
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:31.199
going to use it, then what's the point at all.

1013
00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:34.679
I don't know what it's saying about America.

1014
00:59:35.519 --> 00:59:38.119
I mean to me, it's saying that we want riches

1015
00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:40.360
that don't make sense, like we want riches for the

1016
00:59:40.360 --> 00:59:41.119
sake of riches.

1017
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:44.039
Well, then why wouldn't it be make more sense to

1018
00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:47.960
have an eighteen carrot toilet, because it makes even less

1019
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:50.519
sense than a ten carrot toilet or.

1020
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:53.960
Okay, yeah, I could see that. I could see that.

1021
00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:55.239
Might as well really do it up.

1022
00:59:56.840 --> 00:59:59.960
It was initially displayed at the Solomon R. Guggenheim us

1023
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:02.760
Zeum in New York City and later at the Blenheim

1024
01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:06.519
Palace in the United Kingdom, where it was stolen in

1025
01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:09.880
twenty nineteen. It's been stolen for a long time.

1026
01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:11.079
Wow.

1027
01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:15.679
This week, two of the people involved in the theft

1028
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:21.440
were convicted in a United Kingdom court. Three things to Know.

1029
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:25.639
The original heist took place on September fourteenth, twenty nineteen,

1030
01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:28.320
when a group of thieves used sledgehammers and crowbars to

1031
01:00:28.360 --> 01:00:31.800
remove the toilet from the floor of the Oxfordshire historic

1032
01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:35.559
Blenheim Palace. It reportedly took them under five minutes to

1033
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:39.760
escape with the luxurious latrine. That's a good turn of

1034
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:41.480
phras er. I think luxurious latrine.

1035
01:00:41.800 --> 01:00:42.920
Yeah, it's pretty okay.

1036
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:46.800
On Tuesday, Michael Jones, thirty nine, was found guilty of

1037
01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:49.119
burglary in a British court for his role in the theft,

1038
01:00:49.159 --> 01:00:52.280
while Fred Doe, thirty six, was found guilty of conspiracy

1039
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:56.159
to transfer criminal property. They joined forty year old James Sheen,

1040
01:00:56.239 --> 01:00:59.159
who was credited with coordinating the plan, and it has

1041
01:00:59.199 --> 01:01:04.800
already pleaded to charges of burglary, conspiracy and transferring criminal property.

1042
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:07.679
The toilet, which was ensured for a value of six

1043
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:10.800
million dollars, has yet to be recovered.

1044
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:13.199
Oh no, they still don't know where it is.

1045
01:01:13.639 --> 01:01:18.960
Nope. Prosecutors say that it was dismantled and sold in parts. No,

1046
01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:24.159
that would make sense if it's made out of pure gold.

1047
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:25.519
Yeah, I guess so.

1048
01:01:26.440 --> 01:01:28.599
Well. The big problem with making art out of pure

1049
01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:31.880
gold is that it's like it's like a jewelry made

1050
01:01:31.880 --> 01:01:33.639
out of pure silver and stuff. It's like just melted

1051
01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:35.039
down and then no one ever knows where it came

1052
01:01:35.079 --> 01:01:39.480
from ever. Yeah, So even like because you can steal

1053
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:41.159
go bully on and just melt it so that the

1054
01:01:41.840 --> 01:01:44.320
stamps on it are gone and then it's just gold.

1055
01:01:44.639 --> 01:01:45.920
Yeah.

1056
01:01:46.079 --> 01:01:48.880
Jones was even questioned about having used the toilet the

1057
01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:56.320
day before the heist. He described the experience as quote splendid.

1058
01:01:57.079 --> 01:02:00.599
Oh I guess you were allowed to use it as

1059
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:02.880
part of the art installation, is what it sounds like.

1060
01:02:03.239 --> 01:02:04.079
That's pretty cool.

1061
01:02:04.159 --> 01:02:10.880
Actually, Yeah, when this piece was installed at the Guggenheim,

1062
01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:13.519
oh my god, it says this, It says it at

1063
01:02:13.559 --> 01:02:17.440
the Guggenheim visitors were encouraged to interact with it fully.

1064
01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:22.559
As NPR's Merrick Kennedy wrote back in twenty sixteen, its creator, Catalan,

1065
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:27.760
has been described as a provocateur, prankster, and tragic poet

1066
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:31.920
of our times. One of his famous works, Le Nona

1067
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:36.480
Ara the Ninth Hour, depicts Pope John Paul the Second

1068
01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:41.760
lying on the floor after being struck by a meteor. Okay.

1069
01:02:42.840 --> 01:02:45.039
When it was on display, the Golden Toilet was often

1070
01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:48.920
compared to the French artist Marcel du Champ's porcelain Urinal

1071
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:53.079
called Fountain, a defining piece of twentieth century art, which

1072
01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:57.800
highlighted the absurdity of the art world. M Well, you know,

1073
01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:03.719
most modern art in America was based invented by the CIA. Yeah,

1074
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:04.519
did you not know that?

1075
01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:06.280
I don't think so.

1076
01:03:06.960 --> 01:03:09.719
The CIA dumped tons and tons of money into buying

1077
01:03:09.760 --> 01:03:14.119
modern art and inflating the prices to make America more influential.

1078
01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:20.719
I'll fact check that during this break. Okay, Dough will

1079
01:03:20.719 --> 01:03:23.320
be sentenced in May. Jones and Sheen are still waiting

1080
01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:26.199
their sentence dates, So we're going to take a quick

1081
01:03:26.199 --> 01:03:27.599
break and we'll be back with a little bit more

1082
01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:30.519
spooky news before we get to our topic of April

1083
01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:40.800
Fool's Day pranks gone wrong. After this, all right, we

1084
01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:43.760
are back with just a little bit more spooky news.

1085
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:50.719
And this one I I don't know how to talk,

1086
01:03:51.039 --> 01:03:54.440
how to explain this, other than to read it. This

1087
01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:58.320
is from Huffington Post and the headline is Oregon bat

1088
01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:08.400
named Horry Potter whin bizarre beauty contest okay in Ashland, Oregon.

1089
01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:12.559
A winged creature from Oregon was crowned this year's winner

1090
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:17.119
Thursday in an annual bat beauty contest put on by

1091
01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:22.440
the Bureau of Land Management on Halloween, which was also

1092
01:04:22.480 --> 01:04:25.320
the last day of International Bat Week, A hory bat

1093
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:29.800
with a feisty personality named Horry Potter defeated Lestat, the

1094
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:33.000
western small footed bat from Idaho, in the final round

1095
01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:37.360
of the contest. It also bestowed a Townshend, a Townshend's

1096
01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:40.679
big eared bat named Sir Flaps a lot from Utah,

1097
01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:45.440
among others. The victory marks the third year in a

1098
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:48.320
row that a bat from Oregon has taken first place

1099
01:04:48.320 --> 01:04:53.000
in the contest. Geez, I don't think bats when I

1100
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:55.239
think or I don't think yeah bats when I think

1101
01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:59.119
Oregon why not. I'm not saying that I'm right. I'm

1102
01:04:59.119 --> 01:05:02.599
just saying I don't. Hmm, well it's possible. I'm just ignorant.

1103
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:05.519
I mean, I guess so if they keep winning.

1104
01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:09.079
I mean, do you think bats when you think Oregon?

1105
01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:12.480
I mean, I just think bats are everywhere all the time,

1106
01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:14.239
giving me rabies.

1107
01:05:14.920 --> 01:05:18.159
It's gonna say that sounds a little scary. They're everywhere,

1108
01:05:18.239 --> 01:05:24.559
every minute, all the time, everywhere waiting. Last year, William

1109
01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:30.760
shakes ear ear capitalized, a female Townsend's big eared bat

1110
01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:34.239
from southern Oregon, took the title. In twenty twenty two,

1111
01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:37.920
a canyon bat named Barbara, also from southern Oregon, was

1112
01:05:37.920 --> 01:05:42.599
declared the winner. The federal agency has held the competition

1113
01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:46.840
since twenty nineteen to raise awareness about the animal's ecological importance.

1114
01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:50.519
The bats are part of wild populations living on public

1115
01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:54.719
lands and are photographed by agency staff. BLM posted the

1116
01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:57.840
photos on its Facebook and Instagram accounts and asked people

1117
01:05:57.880 --> 01:06:02.559
to vote for the cutest one. Thank goodness, they didn't

1118
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:07.280
ask them to name them. Batty mcbatface. That's batty mcbatface.

1119
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:12.119
Hory bats are known for swift flight and wrapping themselves

1120
01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:15.119
in their own tails. To mimic leaves and to hide

1121
01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:19.119
from predators. The agency said because of this attribute, it's

1122
01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:23.559
estimated Hory Potter would be quote the perfect candidate for

1123
01:06:23.679 --> 01:06:30.400
seeker on this year's quidditch team. Oh Harry Potter reference oh,

1124
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:32.320
it even says, referring to the game in Harry Potter

1125
01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:36.159
that has played on flying brooms. Emma Busk, the Bureau

1126
01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:40.079
of Land Management wildlife technician who photographed Horry Potter, said

1127
01:06:40.159 --> 01:06:43.119
bats play a key role in the environment by eating

1128
01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:48.079
insects and pollinating flowers and fruits, but they're increasingly facing

1129
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:51.800
threats of habitat loss, disease, and light pollution, and are

1130
01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:55.800
often misunderstood as scary disease carriers, she said, which you

1131
01:06:56.039 --> 01:07:00.000
helped to propagate that theory.

1132
01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:03.320
But they have rabies. But I like them, and I

1133
01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:05.840
don't think they're scary. I just think they have rabies.

1134
01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:10.280
Well, Emma Busk from the Bureau of Land Management said,

1135
01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:13.320
right at the next line is literally quote less than

1136
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:18.360
one percent of all bat populations actually carry rabies, and

1137
01:07:18.400 --> 01:07:22.840
the bat to human disease transmission is actually really low.

1138
01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:27.599
She's fine, although by saying really low she makes me

1139
01:07:27.639 --> 01:07:29.840
wonder because that's not scientific really low.

1140
01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:31.880
Yeah, yeah, it's.

1141
01:07:31.719 --> 01:07:34.800
Really low compared to one hundred percent. It's very low

1142
01:07:34.920 --> 01:07:39.760
at sea. Yeah, Busk said she hopes the event inspires

1143
01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:43.119
more love for the only flying mammal.

1144
01:07:44.920 --> 01:07:46.519
Did it have pictures of the bat?

1145
01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:46.840
That one?

1146
01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:49.960
Because I believe hory bats are really really really cute.

1147
01:07:50.639 --> 01:07:52.800
Uh, I mean, do you find bats in general to

1148
01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:53.559
be very cute?

1149
01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:56.960
Yeah, but especially those ones.

1150
01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:01.599
I'm finding you a picture right now. The article had

1151
01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:05.480
a picture, but you couldn't see it very clearly. Oh,

1152
01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:08.920
there we go. Okay, so here's Horry Potter. Oh, let

1153
01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:11.559
me get rid of this. Yeah, I just want to

1154
01:08:12.039 --> 01:08:15.280
it's trying to get me to enter an email to

1155
01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:17.600
read this article. I just wanted to look at the

1156
01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:22.760
photo from Yeah, can you see that photo that my

1157
01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:23.399
mouse is over?

1158
01:08:23.960 --> 01:08:27.039
No? No, no, I can't see anything. Oh here we go.

1159
01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:33.000
Yeah that's what it looks like. Yeah, they're so cute.

1160
01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:34.279
Look at them.

1161
01:08:34.479 --> 01:08:37.279
No, he is cute. They have a big furry like head,

1162
01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:39.079
but their face is not furry.

1163
01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:42.920
Yeah, and they have multiple different color hairs, like they're different.

1164
01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:46.039
They're like different colors with different parts in the hair.

1165
01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:51.640
Yeah, different shades of Yeah. Oh, they're very cute. Actually,

1166
01:08:53.119 --> 01:08:55.119
I don't really have a problem with bats, and I

1167
01:08:55.119 --> 01:08:58.199
definitely don't go around saying they spread disease in order

1168
01:08:58.239 --> 01:09:03.479
to make people hate them like some people i've met. Apparently, Yeah, yeah,

1169
01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:07.000
you you did. That's what you did. You literally said

1170
01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:09.079
the thing. It's great too, because the article was like

1171
01:09:09.159 --> 01:09:12.560
refuting you without even knowing you were saying stuff. You know,

1172
01:09:12.640 --> 01:09:15.640
the article was just was just ready for your for

1173
01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:18.880
your scurrilous, hate filled rantings.

1174
01:09:19.399 --> 01:09:23.760
Then how come when the place that that rescue kind

1175
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:26.600
of close to me? Ish if you want to work there,

1176
01:09:26.640 --> 01:09:28.880
you have to get a raby shot first.

1177
01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:31.319
I mean it's probably smart to get a raby shot anyway.

1178
01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:33.279
In fact, with how much you talk about rabies, have

1179
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:34.840
you had a rabies shot? No?

1180
01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:36.399
But I really want to get one.

1181
01:09:37.159 --> 01:09:41.560
I feel like you could, I know, I mean, aren't

1182
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:43.359
you allowed to get a raby shot by just like

1183
01:09:43.439 --> 01:09:45.439
going to the doctor and being like a.

1184
01:09:46.079 --> 01:09:49.000
Just go to your your pharmacy and get a raby shot.

1185
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:54.600
I know what we're doing for your birthday. Yay, You're like,

1186
01:09:54.680 --> 01:10:00.760
finally a gift I want. Yay. Well, the goodness, I'm

1187
01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:03.000
happy to know that likely you'll never be rabid.

1188
01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:05.960
I'm scared, dude.

1189
01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:09.560
I've read the stories about humans who get rabies and

1190
01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:14.239
it's different. Yeah, it's like mortifying. Yeah, so no, I

1191
01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:17.039
do find it scary. I just don't feel the need

1192
01:10:17.079 --> 01:10:20.439
to spread prejudice because I'm afraid of rabies. That's all.

1193
01:10:20.479 --> 01:10:21.399
That's just the difference.

1194
01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:23.239
I guess, you know, I know.

1195
01:10:23.399 --> 01:10:25.800
It's fine. No, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. You

1196
01:10:25.800 --> 01:10:31.000
you know what you're doing. You're you're a very you're

1197
01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:32.359
an adult. You're fine, it's fine.

1198
01:10:32.439 --> 01:10:34.720
I'm sorry, Bats, I didn't mean it like that.

1199
01:10:37.000 --> 01:10:39.920
Well, we're gonna get off the topic of bats because

1200
01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:43.119
I really don't want Michelle to spread any more hateful,

1201
01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:47.000
harmful and misinformation. So we're gonna take a quick break

1202
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:49.159
and we're gonna be back with our topic. Since tomorrow

1203
01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:52.479
is April Fool's Day, we're going to talk about prank's

1204
01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:57.880
gone wrong on April Fool's Day. So it's perfect. I

1205
01:10:57.960 --> 01:10:59.680
was shocked. I was able to find a list, and

1206
01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:02.159
it's a recent one too, so we're going to dive

1207
01:11:02.199 --> 01:11:15.760
into that right after this. Well, Michelle, yeah, I know

1208
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:22.399
that you and pranks apparently are not that cool. Yeah

1209
01:11:22.479 --> 01:11:23.920
were you? Were you the kind of kid that like,

1210
01:11:23.920 --> 01:11:25.600
if somebody played a prank on you, you just cry.

1211
01:11:26.319 --> 01:11:29.319
No, nobody played pranks on me because I wasn't liked.

1212
01:11:30.600 --> 01:11:32.640
Oh, people played pranks on me because they hated me.

1213
01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:34.520
Oh they didn't do that to me.

1214
01:11:35.279 --> 01:11:39.199
Oh yeah, I'm sure people hated you. I'm sorry.

1215
01:11:39.439 --> 01:11:41.960
Oh no, they did, They just didn't show their hate

1216
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:43.560
that way.

1217
01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:47.760
Those lousy Jersey kids are just so lazy.

1218
01:11:48.279 --> 01:11:50.000
Yeah.

1219
01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:55.399
Well, I found a really great article on Reader's Digest

1220
01:11:55.840 --> 01:12:00.239
twelve April Fool's Pranks that went horribly wrong, and it's

1221
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:05.760
from this month, so it's relatively updated. Yeah, so I thought,

1222
01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:08.840
could we could talk about this and hopefully get a

1223
01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:11.720
few laughs, or maybe it'll just be all said yeah,

1224
01:12:12.119 --> 01:12:13.560
which would be what you hope.

1225
01:12:13.640 --> 01:12:14.720
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

1226
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:18.560
April first is April fools Day, so we hope you've

1227
01:12:18.600 --> 01:12:21.439
prepared a list of all your favorite pranks, jokes, and

1228
01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:25.600
prank ease to commemorate the occasion. But hold your horses.

1229
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:28.880
No matter how popular the day has become, April Fool's

1230
01:12:28.920 --> 01:12:32.880
Fun comes with a cautionary tale. Whether you're thinking of

1231
01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:36.319
pulling pranks based on your zodiac sign or plotting a

1232
01:12:36.359 --> 01:12:40.600
prank on your parents, spouse, or kiddo's mishaps can happen.

1233
01:12:41.199 --> 01:12:43.880
In fact, there are plenty of pranks gone wrong on

1234
01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:49.079
April Fool's Day, and we're sharing some below. Yeah, I

1235
01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:52.520
guess I like when they try to get clever. As

1236
01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:54.800
you dive into these pranks gone wrong, let them serve

1237
01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:58.279
as a reminder to prank wisely, stick to people who

1238
01:12:58.319 --> 01:13:01.920
can take a joke, and always think twice before pulling

1239
01:13:01.960 --> 01:13:06.000
a stunt. So as you brainstorm the ultimate gag for

1240
01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:09.000
your crew, keep this list of some of the worst

1241
01:13:09.039 --> 01:13:12.439
April Fool's Day pranks in mind. It's all fun and

1242
01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:17.800
games until someone has a whoopee cushion catastrophe. All right,

1243
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:19.000
that's that's what they went with.

1244
01:13:19.439 --> 01:13:21.800
Yeah, apparently fair enough.

1245
01:13:22.800 --> 01:13:25.920
The very first April Fool's Day, that's number one. There

1246
01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:28.479
are many theory or is that is that in the numbers? Yeah,

1247
01:13:28.479 --> 01:13:31.960
it is. I think they don't make it clear. They're like,

1248
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:33.960
we just want you to click. We just want to click.

1249
01:13:35.239 --> 01:13:38.239
There are many theories as to the origins of April

1250
01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:41.760
Fool's Day, but some historians believe the day originated in

1251
01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:46.720
fifteen eighty two, when France switched over to the Gregorian calendar.

1252
01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:51.479
Oh see That's the thing. Everything always leads back to

1253
01:13:51.520 --> 01:13:56.520
that damn Gregorian calendar. I know, I don't know why

1254
01:13:56.560 --> 01:13:58.680
I even try to, like think I'm going to learn

1255
01:13:58.720 --> 01:14:01.680
something new when it all goes back to the damn

1256
01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:03.520
Gregorian calendars.

1257
01:14:04.039 --> 01:14:07.279
It sucks and we should have never changed.

1258
01:14:07.439 --> 01:14:12.960
Yeah really yeah, which changed New Year's Day from April

1259
01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:18.640
first to January first. Back in those days, the news

1260
01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:21.680
took a little longer to reach everyone, and those who

1261
01:14:21.720 --> 01:14:24.439
were a bit slow on the uptake celebrating New Year's

1262
01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:28.399
Day on April first, for example, became the butt of pranks,

1263
01:14:30.199 --> 01:14:35.039
including having paper fish glued onto their backs because fish

1264
01:14:35.079 --> 01:14:44.079
are easy to catch. Okay, to this day, people still

1265
01:14:44.079 --> 01:14:47.039
refer to those who are easily fooled as fish. They

1266
01:14:47.079 --> 01:14:51.159
would call them gullible. Except hem, that word isn't in

1267
01:14:51.199 --> 01:14:55.720
the dictionary. Ha ha. If you check, it's because you are.

1268
01:14:56.760 --> 01:14:57.960
Yeah.

1269
01:14:58.000 --> 01:15:02.000
So they would tape a fish to you, suggesting you

1270
01:15:02.039 --> 01:15:02.680
were gullible.

1271
01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:07.560
Yeah, and they just had them and tape with them too.

1272
01:15:07.800 --> 01:15:11.279
Look, I'm not here to defend resistance of the Gregorian calendar,

1273
01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:17.079
but how am I? How is that person the gullible

1274
01:15:17.119 --> 01:15:20.760
one for not hearing about something new that's my problem.

1275
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:24.199
I don't understand at all, Like I could see if

1276
01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:26.520
it was the other way, because they're like, oh, people

1277
01:15:26.520 --> 01:15:27.920
were like, oh, we change it, and they're like, that's

1278
01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:30.600
the stupidest thing I ever heard. So then those people

1279
01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:33.760
were gullible, they thought, but then they weren't. But still,

1280
01:15:34.039 --> 01:15:34.239
you know.

1281
01:15:34.439 --> 01:15:41.439
Yeah, So here's one. On April first, nineteen ninety two,

1282
01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:45.520
a man claiming to be Richard Nixon told NPR he

1283
01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:49.079
would be running for president, then added I never did

1284
01:15:49.159 --> 01:15:57.439
anything wrong and I won't do it again. Despite the date,

1285
01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:02.640
thousands believed it was actually Richard Nixon announcing another bid

1286
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:03.960
for the presidency.

1287
01:16:04.520 --> 01:16:05.079
Wow.

1288
01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:09.319
Of course it wasn't actually Nixon speaking, but that didn't

1289
01:16:09.359 --> 01:16:13.560
stop the outrage, and many began gearing up to protest.

1290
01:16:14.439 --> 01:16:14.920
Wow.

1291
01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:21.479
Oh, welling back to NPR, where tonight we uh were

1292
01:16:21.520 --> 01:16:25.960
taking calls Richard Nixon, you're on the air. That's how

1293
01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:27.960
it went. That's why people believed that. They were like, well,

1294
01:16:27.960 --> 01:16:32.039
their dulcet tones have made me nappish. It must be real.

1295
01:16:32.439 --> 01:16:37.000
It's so mean to NPR. Yeah, do you know what

1296
01:16:37.119 --> 01:16:37.880
NPR stands for?

1297
01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:40.840
Na? I don't know what do you think it stands for?

1298
01:16:41.439 --> 01:16:48.319
No pulse? Required, yeah, I know, oh man, do you

1299
01:16:48.479 --> 01:16:52.079
you might remember this one? I remember this prank. Okay,

1300
01:16:52.960 --> 01:16:55.960
turns out your favorite fast food chains have a history

1301
01:16:55.960 --> 01:16:59.960
of pranks. On April first, nineteen ninety eight, Burger Came

1302
01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:03.079
announced it would now offer a version of the Whopper

1303
01:17:03.359 --> 01:17:07.640
that had been carefully designed for left handed folks.

1304
01:17:07.920 --> 01:17:09.319
I did not hear about that.

1305
01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:13.239
I remember that the joke was on Burger King, however,

1306
01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:17.399
when stores across the country were flooded with orders for

1307
01:17:17.600 --> 01:17:20.239
the left handed Whopper, yeah.

1308
01:17:20.119 --> 01:17:26.079
You don't know what it's like, like, fine, we get

1309
01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:27.520
some justice.

1310
01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:30.920
I justly picking up a hamburger, going to take a bite,

1311
01:17:30.920 --> 01:17:33.600
and it just falls apart out of your head. You're like,

1312
01:17:33.640 --> 01:17:41.199
oh man, yeah, why right, So you've just given away

1313
01:17:41.199 --> 01:17:45.199
that you are sinister. Uh huh left handed? I know.

1314
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:47.680
What is the worst part about being left handed?

1315
01:17:48.279 --> 01:17:52.680
Scissors? Because they don't work, and the left handed scissors

1316
01:17:52.720 --> 01:17:56.960
also don't work. How does it really work?

1317
01:17:57.680 --> 01:17:59.680
How does scissors not work in your left hand?

1318
01:18:01.039 --> 01:18:04.760
It's got there, there's like a blade sign and where

1319
01:18:04.760 --> 01:18:08.800
your some goes, and they'd be upside down if I

1320
01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:12.239
used right hand scissors and the left handed scissors. No, no,

1321
01:18:12.359 --> 01:18:16.279
you're wrong. The left hand scissors are bad, so I

1322
01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:18.960
have to use child scissors. Those are the only ones

1323
01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:19.520
that work.

1324
01:18:20.079 --> 01:18:21.640
I have a pair of scissors in my hand right now.

1325
01:18:21.680 --> 01:18:23.359
I feel like I could use these left handed.

1326
01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:27.600
I think, yeah, that's that's that's adorable. I'm telling you

1327
01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:29.680
right now you can't.

1328
01:18:29.720 --> 01:18:33.560
I'm not for I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying

1329
01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:36.840
I'm I'm confused, like I don't. It doesn't click with me.

1330
01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:37.880
That doesn't mean you're wrong.

1331
01:18:38.279 --> 01:18:40.680
I think you should. You have scissors, you should try

1332
01:18:40.720 --> 01:18:44.199
to cut some stuff. Maybe not now so you don't

1333
01:18:44.199 --> 01:18:48.319
want to prove that I'm wrong, but maybe in the future.

1334
01:18:49.760 --> 01:18:52.000
I don't afford back, or forget about.

1335
01:18:51.720 --> 01:19:00.640
It, or forget Okay, here's another one, and April Fool's Cliffhanger.

1336
01:19:00.680 --> 01:19:03.520
In two thousand and one, a DJ in the United

1337
01:19:03.600 --> 01:19:06.920
Kingdom decided to prank his listeners on April first by

1338
01:19:06.960 --> 01:19:11.319
broadcasting that a ship that looked suspiciously like the Titanic

1339
01:19:11.720 --> 01:19:14.920
could be seen from the cliffs at Beachy Head in

1340
01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:19.439
East Sussex. Hundreds of listeners believed him trekking to the

1341
01:19:19.439 --> 01:19:23.359
cliffs to catch a glimpse. Unfortunately, all the foot traffic

1342
01:19:23.439 --> 01:19:26.119
caused a large crack in the cliff face, and a

1343
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:28.600
few days later it fell into the sea.

1344
01:19:29.640 --> 01:19:31.640
But everyone was okay, Yeah, it.

1345
01:19:31.600 --> 01:19:33.760
Was days later, so it was. But the damage of

1346
01:19:33.760 --> 01:19:35.880
them all standing there, I guess had caused it to

1347
01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:37.479
eventually collapse.

1348
01:19:37.800 --> 01:19:40.239
Sounds like it was a really poorly designed cliff.

1349
01:19:41.920 --> 01:19:47.439
I guess, so poorly designed. Nice job, mother Nature, you yeah, crack.

1350
01:19:50.000 --> 01:19:54.079
That one's pretty pretty good. But we have even more

1351
01:19:54.079 --> 01:20:04.399
we're going to get to right after this. We're back

1352
01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:10.520
with some more legendary pranks gone wrong. And this one

1353
01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:18.119
I remember, and I didn't fall for it. No, this, oh,

1354
01:20:18.359 --> 01:20:21.000
this is far from being a good April Fool's joke.

1355
01:20:21.119 --> 01:20:24.039
On April first, two thousand and two, a couple of

1356
01:20:24.119 --> 01:20:28.399
Kansas City DJs announced the local water supply had been

1357
01:20:28.439 --> 01:20:34.199
found to contain high levels of die hydrogen monoxide, or DHMO,

1358
01:20:34.319 --> 01:20:39.520
whose side effects included sweating, urination, and skin pruning. Hundreds

1359
01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:44.720
of citizens flooded the water department and the police with

1360
01:20:44.880 --> 01:20:49.760
distressed phone calls. Too bad. Dihydrogen monoxide is actually H

1361
01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:52.520
two O, the chemical name for water.

1362
01:20:53.199 --> 01:20:54.479
Yeah.

1363
01:20:54.560 --> 01:20:58.479
The DJs were widely criticized, and one government official even

1364
01:20:58.520 --> 01:21:00.680
accused them of terrorism.

1365
01:21:01.279 --> 01:21:02.039
Oh my god.

1366
01:21:03.520 --> 01:21:07.399
In twenty thirteen, to Florida DJs pulled the same prank.

1367
01:21:07.800 --> 01:21:10.920
Result the resulting clamor got the DJs yanked off the

1368
01:21:10.960 --> 01:21:14.039
air and nearly saddled with felony charges.

1369
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:20.279
I just feel like everyone is dumb, the whole it's

1370
01:21:20.279 --> 01:21:20.840
all dumb.

1371
01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:23.680
Well, the reason I didn't fall for it was that

1372
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:27.800
my science teacher in middle school taught us the die

1373
01:21:27.840 --> 01:21:32.479
hydrogen monoxide joke. M M yeah, yeah, Like she taught

1374
01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:34.720
us that. She said, like, I want to introduce to

1375
01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:36.920
do a new chemical compound and she told us like

1376
01:21:37.079 --> 01:21:39.960
it causes excessive sweating urination and everyone who comes in

1377
01:21:39.960 --> 01:21:44.279
contact with it dies And we were like, and she

1378
01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:46.920
was like, you can even find it in when you're

1379
01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:50.399
drinking a cup of water. It's in the cup. And

1380
01:21:50.439 --> 01:21:52.920
we were like. And then this year was like, anyway,

1381
01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:55.199
see you guys later, and she just left. No, uh,

1382
01:21:55.319 --> 01:21:58.399
she just left the milita. No h oh man, this

1383
01:21:58.439 --> 01:22:03.439
one's in Ohio. Armed robbery is hilarious or not? Oh

1384
01:22:04.119 --> 01:22:06.359
For April Fools in two thousand and three, a clothing

1385
01:22:06.359 --> 01:22:10.239
store employee in Columbus, Ohio, decided to call her boss

1386
01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:14.159
and tell him that someone was robbing the store at gunpoint.

1387
01:22:14.560 --> 01:22:15.239
Oh geez.

1388
01:22:15.439 --> 01:22:15.520
No.

1389
01:22:18.159 --> 01:22:20.880
Before she had time to call him back and confess

1390
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:23.560
to the prank, her boss had called the police.

1391
01:22:24.319 --> 01:22:26.479
No, you don't. You don't have to. You don't call back.

1392
01:22:26.560 --> 01:22:29.399
You have to say it on the same call otherwise.

1393
01:22:29.520 --> 01:22:35.079
Yeah, it's supposed to call April fools. Yeah, April fools, which,

1394
01:22:35.079 --> 01:22:37.119
by the way, is way better to do not in April.

1395
01:22:37.840 --> 01:22:41.760
Like prank somebody April fools, and it's like August, I'll

1396
01:22:41.760 --> 01:22:42.439
ever see it coming.

1397
01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:45.239
It's true. It's true.

1398
01:22:47.720 --> 01:22:50.760
Four patrol cars rolled up to the store and the

1399
01:22:50.840 --> 01:23:00.720
employee was arrested for inducing panic. Wow. Yeah that sucks. Well, well,

1400
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:03.920
good news is we're about to leave the United States,

1401
01:23:04.760 --> 01:23:08.920
so it's not just us who are income poops of

1402
01:23:08.920 --> 01:23:13.479
the highest order in magnitude. On April first, twenty ten,

1403
01:23:13.560 --> 01:23:17.439
a newspaper in Jordan ran an article claiming a UFO

1404
01:23:17.520 --> 01:23:21.279
had landed near the town of joffer It's no wonder

1405
01:23:21.319 --> 01:23:23.199
this was a prank gone wrong, as the mayor of

1406
01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:29.119
Joffers responded by issuing an order to evacuate thirteen thousand people.

1407
01:23:29.279 --> 01:23:29.920
Oh no.

1408
01:23:31.720 --> 01:23:36.479
Facing a potential lawsuit, the newspaper staff apologized publicly saying

1409
01:23:36.520 --> 01:23:45.159
that they meant to entertain, not scare people. I like that.

1410
01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:47.800
The mayor I would have been like, look, we were

1411
01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:49.840
just trying to point out that the mayor has no

1412
01:23:49.880 --> 01:23:53.680
brain in his head. He didn't like look into anything

1413
01:23:53.760 --> 01:23:56.840
or check anything. He just believed the newspaper first in

1414
01:23:56.880 --> 01:24:01.640
his own town. I mean, I think, like, look out

1415
01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:03.399
the window first, Well, just.

1416
01:24:03.399 --> 01:24:06.800
Because you can't see the UFO doesn't mean it's not

1417
01:24:07.119 --> 01:24:09.760
there somewhere. Like I'm so so tired.

1418
01:24:09.520 --> 01:24:11.920
Of having this argument with you. I'm so tired of

1419
01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:13.039
having this with you.

1420
01:24:13.399 --> 01:24:16.000
I know, But just because you can't see the UFO

1421
01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:17.520
doesn't mean it's not there.

1422
01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:21.079
I know, tell, I know you don't understand.

1423
01:24:21.359 --> 01:24:24.159
Just because it's not when you look outside the UFO

1424
01:24:24.319 --> 01:24:26.479
isn't there in your front yard doesn't mean it's there.

1425
01:24:26.520 --> 01:24:34.600
And you're like it could be there. Still it's still there.

1426
01:24:33.920 --> 01:24:37.039
You win, Michelle, You're right, you're right up side.

1427
01:24:37.439 --> 01:24:38.520
Oh I saw it.

1428
01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:50.199
I'm turning red. In twenty and thirteen, Susan Tammy Hudson

1429
01:24:50.239 --> 01:24:53.920
of Kingsport, Tennessee, called her sister on April first and said,

1430
01:24:54.479 --> 01:24:57.159
I shot my husband. I'm cleaning up the mess. Let's

1431
01:24:57.199 --> 01:25:01.760
go bury him in Blackwater. Oh god, this was a

1432
01:25:01.760 --> 01:25:04.800
prank gone wrong, because though Hudson may have thought she

1433
01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:08.920
was being funny, no one else did. Soon the police

1434
01:25:08.920 --> 01:25:14.520
showed up. Okay that how bad of a sister have

1435
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:17.600
you been that your sister would Okay, I'm not saying.

1436
01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:22.920
I'm not saying that you should help. Like if your

1437
01:25:22.920 --> 01:25:25.479
sister called you tell and said I just shot somebody

1438
01:25:25.520 --> 01:25:28.439
and I need to hide the body. Well, how would

1439
01:25:28.479 --> 01:25:28.960
you react?

1440
01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:32.520
I don't know. I would probably say, okay, well, here

1441
01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:34.640
are some places that you can hide a body because

1442
01:25:34.640 --> 01:25:37.800
I can't help you. Also, then I would hang up

1443
01:25:37.840 --> 01:25:38.840
and call the police.

1444
01:25:39.800 --> 01:25:41.000
You would call the police.

1445
01:25:41.520 --> 01:25:43.880
I might call the police. No, I probably wouldn't. I

1446
01:25:43.960 --> 01:25:46.399
probably call my mom, and then my mom would be like, what.

1447
01:25:49.479 --> 01:25:53.520
See. I'm not saying that you should, without question help

1448
01:25:53.640 --> 01:25:57.880
your sister or whoever bury a dead body, but you

1449
01:25:57.920 --> 01:25:59.319
don't call the police.

1450
01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:02.159
I kind of want to know more information about what

1451
01:26:02.279 --> 01:26:05.800
happened so that I could record it. Oh my god,

1452
01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:08.239
I have reported because I'm in I'm not in a

1453
01:26:08.479 --> 01:26:12.239
I'm in a two party consent state in Pennsylvania to

1454
01:26:12.319 --> 01:26:13.880
New Jersey.

1455
01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:21.920
Uh that's so ridiculous. Uh. But her sister calls the police.

1456
01:26:20.800 --> 01:26:26.000
M No charges were pressed after Hudson's husband arrived home alive.

1457
01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:29.279
And well, how come she didn't get arrested?

1458
01:26:30.560 --> 01:26:33.920
I don't know, probably because it does sound like a prank,

1459
01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:36.920
Like it's not like she said it in a public

1460
01:26:37.079 --> 01:26:40.479
area to like cause a budget of chaos. I do

1461
01:26:40.560 --> 01:26:42.760
think that the woman who got charged with inciting panic

1462
01:26:42.800 --> 01:26:46.039
for only pranking her boss was not really fair. It

1463
01:26:46.079 --> 01:26:48.560
was because the police incited panic by showing up in

1464
01:26:48.680 --> 01:26:53.039
mass you know, But I don't know. That's that's a

1465
01:26:53.159 --> 01:26:58.960
that's a murky space. Ooh, here's one. A text prank

1466
01:26:59.000 --> 01:27:03.199
is less than this one. In seventeen o eight, Gulliver's

1467
01:27:03.239 --> 01:27:07.039
Travels author Jonathan Swift set up an epic April Fool's

1468
01:27:07.119 --> 01:27:11.640
Day prank by pretending to be an astrologer named Isaac Bickerstaff.

1469
01:27:12.399 --> 01:27:15.640
He published a set of predictions, the most notable of

1470
01:27:15.680 --> 01:27:19.600
which was that a celebrity astrologer of the time, John Partridge,

1471
01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:26.000
would die on March twenty ninth. On March thirtieth, Swift

1472
01:27:26.119 --> 01:27:31.239
circulated an anonymous account of Partridge's death of fever. On

1473
01:27:31.319 --> 01:27:34.600
April first, someone knocked on Partridge's door to set up

1474
01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:39.960
funeral arrangements. Wow, Partridge, of course was alive and well,

1475
01:27:40.159 --> 01:27:42.239
but the rest of his life he had to insist

1476
01:27:42.319 --> 01:27:46.760
he was not dead. The prediction finally came true seven

1477
01:27:46.840 --> 01:27:50.039
years later, without Partridge ever finding out the real identity

1478
01:27:50.439 --> 01:27:56.039
of Isaac Bickerstaff. Hmm, that's freaking legendary. That's like the

1479
01:27:56.119 --> 01:28:02.399
stuff of legends. That's so good. I can't overstate how

1480
01:28:02.439 --> 01:28:06.760
good that is. Come on like two like like somewhat

1481
01:28:06.800 --> 01:28:10.079
like famous rich guys in the seventeen hundreds pulling craft

1482
01:28:10.159 --> 01:28:13.439
like that's pretty solid. You know. It's not like he

1483
01:28:13.479 --> 01:28:15.399
pulled it on some guy that worked at like a

1484
01:28:15.479 --> 01:28:18.319
pubby didn't like he did it to like a famous astrologer.

1485
01:28:18.560 --> 01:28:20.520
We're gonna take a break, and then we'll wrap up

1486
01:28:20.640 --> 01:28:24.680
all these April fools Day pranks gone wrong right after this.

1487
01:28:25.159 --> 01:28:27.840
I just don't know that there's a UFO. If I'm

1488
01:28:27.880 --> 01:28:29.119
not seeing it, I'm sorry.

1489
01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:33.159
I don't understand what the problem is. Like just because

1490
01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:35.439
you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

1491
01:28:43.520 --> 01:28:46.319
Now we're back with some more April Fool's Day pranks

1492
01:28:46.399 --> 01:28:52.359
gone wrong. This one, this may not be the best

1493
01:28:52.359 --> 01:28:55.119
prank to pull on your boyfriend for April fools Day

1494
01:28:55.119 --> 01:28:58.560
twenty thirteen, eighteen year old Tory Wheeler of Tulsa, Oklahoma,

1495
01:28:58.680 --> 01:29:02.439
pranked her boyfriend Derek by pretending she was pregnant.

1496
01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:04.119
Oh.

1497
01:29:04.319 --> 01:29:07.479
Wheeler, upset that Bauer didn't find her prank as funny

1498
01:29:07.479 --> 01:29:10.479
as she'd hoped, ended up pulling a knife on him,

1499
01:29:10.479 --> 01:29:12.720
and the police were called in to settle the matter.

1500
01:29:13.239 --> 01:29:14.000
Okay.

1501
01:29:17.920 --> 01:29:24.720
Predictably, Wheeler later said the knife was yet another prank.

1502
01:29:26.159 --> 01:29:30.000
Don't prank with knives, kids, what what?

1503
01:29:30.000 --> 01:29:32.600
What? Well, it was prank.

1504
01:29:33.680 --> 01:29:34.560
It was prank.

1505
01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:36.399
Yeah, it was prank.

1506
01:29:36.840 --> 01:29:41.560
It was prank. Yeah, it was prank. It's could laugh.

1507
01:29:42.199 --> 01:29:44.239
Lah, it's fine because it was a prank.

1508
01:29:44.680 --> 01:29:48.800
It was prank pulling a knife on someone because they

1509
01:29:48.800 --> 01:29:55.199
didn't think your story, your joke was funny, relatable content.

1510
01:29:55.600 --> 01:29:59.239
Yeah. Yeah, Sometimes you just want people to think you're funny,

1511
01:30:01.680 --> 01:30:05.399
pull a knife on them so they'll laugh. Well, finally laugh.

1512
01:30:06.600 --> 01:30:13.479
Who's laughing? Now? It better be you? I the idea.

1513
01:30:13.520 --> 01:30:16.880
She pulled a knife and police showed up. Uh wait, yeah,

1514
01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:19.239
because yeah, police were called to settle the matter. If

1515
01:30:19.239 --> 01:30:20.600
you pulled the knife, that doesn't make it sound like

1516
01:30:20.600 --> 01:30:21.159
a prank to me.

1517
01:30:21.520 --> 01:30:24.600
No, No, Well she took it too far. You know.

1518
01:30:24.840 --> 01:30:26.399
Yeah, it was a goof.

1519
01:30:26.720 --> 01:30:29.920
It was a goof. Gosh, it was a goof to

1520
01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:31.600
tell him, geez.

1521
01:30:32.479 --> 01:30:36.039
Our goofing is goofing illegal? Now? What is this? Nazi Germany?

1522
01:30:37.720 --> 01:30:41.279
It was a goof. Here's another April Fool's prank gone wrong.

1523
01:30:41.520 --> 01:30:44.880
In twenty sixteen, Google, as an April Fool's Day prank,

1524
01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:48.840
added a mic drop button to its email program. When clicked,

1525
01:30:48.880 --> 01:30:52.119
it sent a gift to the recipients of the outgoing email.

1526
01:30:52.399 --> 01:31:01.079
And here's the kicker. Literally disabled replies, in effect shutting

1527
01:31:01.119 --> 01:31:05.000
down the conversation as mike drops do. But the big

1528
01:31:05.079 --> 01:31:07.720
problem was that the mic drop button was right next

1529
01:31:07.760 --> 01:31:10.800
to the send button, leading a number of hapless and

1530
01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:16.239
later horrified people to mic drop their bosses, clients, spouses, children,

1531
01:31:16.359 --> 01:31:17.640
friends and family.

1532
01:31:19.399 --> 01:31:20.319
That's on them.

1533
01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:23.880
You're cold on that one.

1534
01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:27.239
Look as you press them.

1535
01:31:27.399 --> 01:31:30.920
Although Google disabled the button, the damage was done. It

1536
01:31:31.000 --> 01:31:33.359
was far from being a good office prank, since at

1537
01:31:33.399 --> 01:31:37.920
least one individual reported getting canned thanks to Google's jest.

1538
01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:43.760
Oh no, I mean that it's a harsh It's a

1539
01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:48.039
harsh mic drop. Yeah, it's do to your bo I'm

1540
01:31:48.039 --> 01:31:50.000
assuming that it tells them like you have been you

1541
01:31:50.079 --> 01:31:52.079
are no longer able to contact this person?

1542
01:31:52.520 --> 01:31:53.840
Maybe yeah?

1543
01:31:54.079 --> 01:31:57.760
Uh, I I mean I got I don't even know

1544
01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:02.800
what to say on that one, dude, I would be

1545
01:32:02.800 --> 01:32:06.319
pretty mad. Well, and they might have like they might

1546
01:32:06.359 --> 01:32:08.439
have literally said something that was like really important to

1547
01:32:08.439 --> 01:32:10.520
respond to because they didn't know that you wouldn't be

1548
01:32:10.560 --> 01:32:11.199
able to reply.

1549
01:32:11.680 --> 01:32:12.159
Yeah.

1550
01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:20.439
Yeah, so I don't know. That's a mic drop. I

1551
01:32:20.560 --> 01:32:22.039
kind of wish I had that button now though.

1552
01:32:22.840 --> 01:32:25.000
You could just get a microphone, could you have them?

1553
01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:26.079
And you could just drop it?

1554
01:32:26.880 --> 01:32:29.239
And I don't want to drop my microphones. My microphones

1555
01:32:29.239 --> 01:32:29.960
are my friends.

1556
01:32:31.399 --> 01:32:35.359
On something soft, like get a pillow, drop it the

1557
01:32:35.439 --> 01:32:36.279
microphone on it.

1558
01:32:37.760 --> 01:32:42.359
See that. There's so many parts, all right? Our last

1559
01:32:42.359 --> 01:32:46.680
one for April Fool's Day. In nineteen eighty, Boston TV

1560
01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:50.880
news producer Homer silly. It actually rhymes with silly. I

1561
01:32:50.960 --> 01:32:55.720
just said silly. Produce the television. I know how to

1562
01:32:55.720 --> 01:33:01.319
pronounce C I L E Y, Thanks readers. Digest produced

1563
01:33:01.319 --> 01:33:05.199
a television broadcast about a hill in Milton, Massachusetts that

1564
01:33:05.239 --> 01:33:10.560
had begun oozing lava and spewing flames. He included fake

1565
01:33:10.640 --> 01:33:14.079
warnings from then President Jimmy Carter and real footage from

1566
01:33:14.079 --> 01:33:18.520
Mount Saint Helen's eruption that implied the Massachusetts volcano had

1567
01:33:18.600 --> 01:33:24.439
fully erupted. Wow, April fool read the card at the

1568
01:33:24.520 --> 01:33:28.640
end of the segment, but hundreds of panicked citizens flooded

1569
01:33:28.680 --> 01:33:33.359
law enforcement phone lines. Anyway, Silly was prompted promptly fired

1570
01:33:33.399 --> 01:33:39.319
for failing to exercise good news judgment and breaching FCC regulations.

1571
01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:42.520
Aw.

1572
01:33:43.359 --> 01:33:46.000
I mean, I feel like you don't. There's not a

1573
01:33:46.000 --> 01:33:50.359
lot of excuse to know to not to believe people

1574
01:33:50.399 --> 01:33:54.520
won't panic from something like that because of the War

1575
01:33:54.600 --> 01:33:58.640
of the World. Yeah, have you ever listened to the

1576
01:33:58.640 --> 01:34:00.239
full War of the World's broadcast?

1577
01:34:00.479 --> 01:34:01.319
I mean, I guess not.

1578
01:34:02.239 --> 01:34:04.640
It's good. It's it's really it's really good. It's not

1579
01:34:04.680 --> 01:34:10.439
super long. I really highly recommend listening to it. I

1580
01:34:10.439 --> 01:34:12.960
don't know if I don't think the recording's public domain,

1581
01:34:13.279 --> 01:34:15.520
because I should play it like for Halloween or something

1582
01:34:15.560 --> 01:34:19.199
on the podcast. That'd be a cool, cool, like bonus show.

1583
01:34:20.199 --> 01:34:23.119
But when I listened to it, I was shocked to

1584
01:34:23.239 --> 01:34:28.640
realize that every break they mention that it's not real. Yeah,

1585
01:34:28.680 --> 01:34:34.800
and it's still caused all that panic in Jersey. Yeah,

1586
01:34:34.880 --> 01:34:38.840
your ancestral homeland was just as concerned about UFOs as

1587
01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:40.439
you are. Now I get where it comes from.

1588
01:34:40.960 --> 01:34:43.399
It's not my ancestral homeland. But that's okay.

1589
01:34:44.119 --> 01:34:53.560
I mean, I guess it's just your homeland. Yeah, of sorts. Yeah, fine, No, No,

1590
01:34:53.720 --> 01:34:57.960
you're from the Bronx. Dub Bronx, you're from the Bronx.

1591
01:34:58.000 --> 01:34:58.920
It's right, You're right.

1592
01:35:00.520 --> 01:35:02.159
It's making me feel bad.

1593
01:35:03.359 --> 01:35:07.640
Uh oh wait, I don't feel like that's an accomplishment.

1594
01:35:07.720 --> 01:35:09.600
I feel like you now, you're trying to put it

1595
01:35:09.640 --> 01:35:14.800
on me that made you feel bad? Yeah, would it

1596
01:35:14.840 --> 01:35:16.920
help if I said April fools? It was all a prank.

1597
01:35:16.960 --> 01:35:17.479
It was all a.

1598
01:35:17.439 --> 01:35:19.680
Goof no because I don't believe it.

1599
01:35:20.439 --> 01:35:24.840
Oh, okay, fine, you win.

1600
01:35:25.600 --> 01:35:25.920
Thanks.

1601
01:35:27.920 --> 01:35:30.359
There is a UFO outside my house. I believe you.

1602
01:35:30.359 --> 01:35:30.840
You're right.

1603
01:35:31.640 --> 01:35:35.399
I mean, it's definitely there. I don't know why you

1604
01:35:35.439 --> 01:35:36.079
can't see it.

1605
01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:39.920
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and then

1606
01:35:39.920 --> 01:35:41.600
we're going to talk a little bit about some horror

1607
01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:45.079
movies I watched this month, a little bit of Reddit creepiness,

1608
01:35:45.359 --> 01:35:48.439
and wrap things up for the month and head into

1609
01:35:48.520 --> 01:35:59.520
April Fools. So that'll be right after this. All right,

1610
01:35:59.560 --> 01:36:03.760
we're up this month's monthly spooky, and I wanted to

1611
01:36:03.760 --> 01:36:07.479
mention some horror media I checked out. I did see

1612
01:36:07.520 --> 01:36:11.359
a horror movie in the theater. It was called The Monkey,

1613
01:36:11.880 --> 01:36:16.359
based on the Stephen King story. Oh okay, directed by

1614
01:36:16.399 --> 01:36:20.520
Osgood Perkins, who did who got very quickly very popular

1615
01:36:20.560 --> 01:36:24.039
for doing Long Legs, which I guess is h is

1616
01:36:24.039 --> 01:36:28.159
now streaming on Hulu, and was a pretty good horror movie.

1617
01:36:28.159 --> 01:36:31.199
I really I liked Long Legs. The Monkey nothing like

1618
01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:34.119
Long Legs whatsoever. I was very curious how people were

1619
01:36:34.159 --> 01:36:39.039
going to feel about that. It's It's one of the first,

1620
01:36:39.399 --> 01:36:42.840
like truly dark comedy horror movies I've seen in a while.

1621
01:36:43.760 --> 01:36:45.800
Like there are lots of horror comedies, and there are

1622
01:36:45.840 --> 01:36:48.079
a decent amount of dark comedies, but this was both,

1623
01:36:48.359 --> 01:36:50.800
in my opinion, both a dark comedy and a horror

1624
01:36:50.840 --> 01:36:53.640
comedy at the same time. So it had horrific elements

1625
01:36:54.000 --> 01:36:56.520
but an immense amount of gallows humor that was like

1626
01:36:56.640 --> 01:37:00.840
darker than normal, and I actually thought it worked pretty well.

1627
01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:03.520
I don't usually like horror comedies very much, but I

1628
01:37:03.560 --> 01:37:05.960
really liked this one. I thought it was funny, and

1629
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:09.159
I actually thought it was surprisingly heartfelt. It had some

1630
01:37:09.800 --> 01:37:12.000
it had some moments about like how to deal with

1631
01:37:12.119 --> 01:37:14.760
loved ones that are dead, that like hit me hard.

1632
01:37:14.840 --> 01:37:19.039
I thought were really insightful and sweet, so I do

1633
01:37:19.119 --> 01:37:22.840
recommend The Monkey. I don't think it's in theaters anymore unfortunately,

1634
01:37:23.439 --> 01:37:26.199
so at least not around here, but I did like it.

1635
01:37:28.239 --> 01:37:31.239
Another film I watched was The Killing of Blood Castle,

1636
01:37:32.960 --> 01:37:35.920
which is not a new movie. I only saw one

1637
01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:38.760
horror movie in the theater. Everything else I've watched has

1638
01:37:38.800 --> 01:37:42.039
been older stuff, and this was on the Donza Macabre

1639
01:37:42.239 --> 01:37:45.920
Volume two set. It's an old Spanish Italian co production

1640
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:50.159
horror movie that I really enjoyed that mostly rips off Frankenstein.

1641
01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:53.239
It's this woman comes to a castle. At first it

1642
01:37:53.279 --> 01:37:55.840
feels like it's Dracula, but then it feels more like

1643
01:37:55.880 --> 01:37:58.479
it's Frankenstein. But then it becomes kind of a werewolf

1644
01:37:58.479 --> 01:38:01.800
movie where people are in the village that this count

1645
01:38:02.039 --> 01:38:05.119
who is a scientist, is actually a werewolf, and that

1646
01:38:05.159 --> 01:38:08.359
he turns into a beast at night on the full

1647
01:38:08.399 --> 01:38:10.600
moon and kill because people keep turning up dead in

1648
01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:14.399
the village. And I really liked it. Had a great twist.

1649
01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:17.159
One of the twists is that his dead brother is

1650
01:38:17.199 --> 01:38:21.039
not actually dead. He's horribly disfigured. We discovered that pretty

1651
01:38:21.079 --> 01:38:24.439
early on. He's horribly disfigured, and all of the experiments

1652
01:38:24.439 --> 01:38:27.119
they're doing are actually trying to give him a face again.

1653
01:38:27.800 --> 01:38:28.479
Oh man.

1654
01:38:28.800 --> 01:38:32.039
But it's kept kind of secret, but of course, because

1655
01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:35.000
it's an old school kind of gothic horror movie. Actually

1656
01:38:35.079 --> 01:38:37.439
not kind of, it's a very gothic horror movie. He's

1657
01:38:37.479 --> 01:38:43.720
gone mad from being hideous, so he's like completely insane

1658
01:38:43.720 --> 01:38:47.520
and willing to kill anybody to get what he wants.

1659
01:38:47.560 --> 01:38:50.600
A really cool movie, and then it made me think

1660
01:38:50.600 --> 01:38:54.800
about Frankenstein. So I watched Lady Frankenstein, which posits the

1661
01:38:54.840 --> 01:38:59.880
concept what if doctor Frankenstein built a monster but then

1662
01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:04.640
the monster accidentally killed him? But thank goodness, his daughter

1663
01:39:04.920 --> 01:39:08.720
is around, who is also a doctor and scientist, and

1664
01:39:08.800 --> 01:39:11.000
she takes over his work and turns out to be

1665
01:39:11.159 --> 01:39:15.359
far more insane than he is. Yay, So it was

1666
01:39:15.399 --> 01:39:19.119
actually really fun. That was another Italian Spanish co production,

1667
01:39:19.800 --> 01:39:23.159
and I really just had a great time watching it.

1668
01:39:23.159 --> 01:39:26.840
It was silly and weird and creepy and I liked

1669
01:39:26.880 --> 01:39:31.039
it a lot. So and then the last thing I watched,

1670
01:39:31.560 --> 01:39:34.359
for something totally different is I watched the ninth the

1671
01:39:34.439 --> 01:39:38.039
late nineties film Campfire Tales, which was a movie I

1672
01:39:38.119 --> 01:39:41.000
used to rent on VHS when I was a teenager,

1673
01:39:41.399 --> 01:39:44.359
when I was like thirteen, fourteen years old, and it's

1674
01:39:44.399 --> 01:39:49.479
straight up like an urban legend movie. It's a movie

1675
01:39:49.600 --> 01:39:54.039
about urban legends, as in they're telling each other campfire

1676
01:39:54.079 --> 01:39:57.920
stories hence Campfire Tales, and like one of them is

1677
01:39:57.920 --> 01:40:00.560
the humans can lick two story, one of the is

1678
01:40:01.319 --> 01:40:04.279
based on the hook, one of them is based on

1679
01:40:07.199 --> 01:40:09.680
the locket the woman with the ribbon around her neck.

1680
01:40:09.880 --> 01:40:13.279
It's really fun creepy, but it's also nineties as hell,

1681
01:40:13.880 --> 01:40:16.920
which for me, it adds a lot of charming nostalgias.

1682
01:40:16.920 --> 01:40:18.279
So I had a great time watching that. That one's

1683
01:40:18.279 --> 01:40:20.399
on Amazon Prime now that's why I watched it. I

1684
01:40:20.439 --> 01:40:22.760
was like, wait, there's an HD copy of that movie

1685
01:40:22.840 --> 01:40:25.880
as to rent on VHS. I would like to watch that.

1686
01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:31.520
So anyway, those were the movies I watched. What is

1687
01:40:31.600 --> 01:40:33.920
going on with U? Chell? Did you find anything creepy?

1688
01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:35.159
On Reddit of note?

1689
01:40:35.680 --> 01:40:37.399
So it was hard because I found a lot of

1690
01:40:37.399 --> 01:40:39.960
things and I was like, yeah, that's pretty dumb. But

1691
01:40:40.640 --> 01:40:42.760
I did find one that I thought was really interesting.

1692
01:40:43.600 --> 01:40:48.680
So there's a woman I assume, and she sees a

1693
01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:51.479
charge on her credit card. I'm gonna switch your You're

1694
01:40:51.479 --> 01:40:52.960
still gonna see me, but I'm not going to see

1695
01:40:52.960 --> 01:40:57.239
you so that I can see this, okay. So she

1696
01:40:57.600 --> 01:41:00.720
sees a charge on a credit card for the Redwood

1697
01:41:00.760 --> 01:41:06.680
Motel for nineteen sixty and she's like, what, I never

1698
01:41:06.760 --> 01:41:09.119
went to this motel. It's like two hours away, Like

1699
01:41:09.640 --> 01:41:13.840
what's going on? And so let me go back so

1700
01:41:13.880 --> 01:41:18.279
I can actually see you again. So she she she

1701
01:41:18.359 --> 01:41:21.079
calls her credit card company and says like, I think

1702
01:41:21.079 --> 01:41:25.479
this is fraud basically, and gets her card canceled and stuff.

1703
01:41:25.720 --> 01:41:27.600
And then while she's like waiting for her new card

1704
01:41:27.600 --> 01:41:29.560
to come or whatever, she's looking through her purse and

1705
01:41:29.600 --> 01:41:33.199
she finds a receipt for the Redwood Motel for nineteen

1706
01:41:33.239 --> 01:41:35.880
sixty one, and she's like, what the fuck? It's two

1707
01:41:35.880 --> 01:41:38.319
hours away in Des Moines, Iowa. I have the address

1708
01:41:38.319 --> 01:41:40.159
of the hotel now in case you want it, but

1709
01:41:41.359 --> 01:41:45.119
like she's like, I never been there. Why do I have?

1710
01:41:45.239 --> 01:41:46.000
What is this?

1711
01:41:46.119 --> 01:41:48.039
And she like called the hotel and she's like what

1712
01:41:48.119 --> 01:41:50.399
could I have possibly bought for nineteen sixty one? And

1713
01:41:50.439 --> 01:41:52.000
they were like, I don't know, man, so.

1714
01:41:52.800 --> 01:41:55.359
It's a odd number for a recent motel stay.

1715
01:41:55.760 --> 01:41:58.640
Yeah. Yeah, and it has like a tax and then

1716
01:41:58.680 --> 01:42:00.760
like it has like the tip to So she's like,

1717
01:42:00.800 --> 01:42:04.439
what is this. It's like seventeen something plus like two

1718
01:42:04.479 --> 01:42:09.359
dollars something tip. So she's just like, what the fuck? So, yeah,

1719
01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:11.600
that's that's weird.

1720
01:42:12.800 --> 01:42:16.159
That's okay. No, the receipt that's really weird. And yeah,

1721
01:42:16.159 --> 01:42:18.840
what would you buy at a hotel or a motel

1722
01:42:18.920 --> 01:42:19.880
or whatever that cheap?

1723
01:42:20.520 --> 01:42:22.359
Yeah, I don't know, because it.

1724
01:42:22.359 --> 01:42:24.319
Couldn't be a stay and what would you tip on?

1725
01:42:25.119 --> 01:42:27.319
I guess they could have had a bar or restaurant.

1726
01:42:27.399 --> 01:42:28.600
I guess, but.

1727
01:42:28.560 --> 01:42:31.680
I we you know, she she linked the motel and everything.

1728
01:42:31.800 --> 01:42:33.920
It does not have a bar or restaurant. It's it

1729
01:42:33.960 --> 01:42:37.680
has like the worst ratings of anything I've ever seen, and.

1730
01:42:37.880 --> 01:42:40.439
Lots of people commenting that they found weird charges and

1731
01:42:40.439 --> 01:42:42.760
then paper receipts in their purses.

1732
01:42:42.960 --> 01:42:44.760
They're like, it's a scam. I don't know how they're

1733
01:42:44.800 --> 01:42:45.600
doing this, but.

1734
01:42:46.359 --> 01:42:48.199
It's a really good scam.

1735
01:42:48.279 --> 01:42:51.920
Yeah, but yeah, I mean weird. The only thing that

1736
01:42:51.960 --> 01:42:54.800
people could think of, which is probably I mean, what

1737
01:42:54.920 --> 01:42:57.359
it is unless this is some sort of weird paranormal,

1738
01:42:57.439 --> 01:43:01.239
supernatural thing, especially because she does, you know, live with

1739
01:43:01.239 --> 01:43:03.399
her husband, but he doesn't have access to that credit

1740
01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:06.880
card and it like has a timestamp on it, and

1741
01:43:07.079 --> 01:43:11.520
neither of them were out that night. But someone suggested

1742
01:43:11.560 --> 01:43:15.000
that maybe the person who owns that hotel also has

1743
01:43:15.039 --> 01:43:17.279
like a convenience store or something, and they have just

1744
01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:21.680
the same receipt paper thing for both of them, So

1745
01:43:21.720 --> 01:43:24.640
maybe it wasn't actually like a hotel. Maybe it was

1746
01:43:24.680 --> 01:43:27.079
like a cafe, just something stupid, and like they were

1747
01:43:27.159 --> 01:43:29.760
using some other resceppts.

1748
01:43:31.239 --> 01:43:32.880
Let's see what you mean. Like they were using the

1749
01:43:32.920 --> 01:43:36.000
same uh yeah account basically.

1750
01:43:36.079 --> 01:43:41.279
Yeah, like the same thing on the roll. Yeah, And

1751
01:43:41.319 --> 01:43:43.399
but she was like, but it says five PM, and

1752
01:43:43.439 --> 01:43:46.880
we were definitely not out of five. And then it's like, well,

1753
01:43:46.920 --> 01:43:50.159
maybe the timestamp is wrong, but it's it is a lot.

1754
01:43:49.960 --> 01:43:55.319
Of stuff though it's super weird. I mean, yeah, I

1755
01:43:55.399 --> 01:43:57.520
will say now that you mentioned it, I mean credit

1756
01:43:57.560 --> 01:44:00.880
card processes and stuff are not quite I mean they're

1757
01:44:00.880 --> 01:44:03.800
a little bit more. They're very different now. They used

1758
01:44:03.840 --> 01:44:06.920
to be very set in stone and very stodgy, but

1759
01:44:06.960 --> 01:44:09.560
now it's very like flexible. You know, lots of people

1760
01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:12.960
have credit card chargers and they're charging ability and stuff.

1761
01:44:13.319 --> 01:44:16.600
So but the receipt, the paper receipt, Yeah weird.

1762
01:44:16.920 --> 01:44:17.720
It's really weird.

1763
01:44:17.960 --> 01:44:20.439
And the time stamp being wrong would be weird too

1764
01:44:20.439 --> 01:44:23.359
because that opens up like a lot of fraud liability

1765
01:44:24.079 --> 01:44:26.079
if of time stamp is wrong. So I don't know.

1766
01:44:26.159 --> 01:44:27.199
That's super weird.

1767
01:44:27.560 --> 01:44:29.159
Yeah. Yeah.

1768
01:44:29.199 --> 01:44:31.439
Do they have carbon monoxide detectors in their house?

1769
01:44:33.319 --> 01:44:37.520
I hope so, but it you'd have to drive pretty

1770
01:44:37.560 --> 01:44:38.439
far though.

1771
01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:42.760
That's fair. Do they have carbon monoxide detectors in their car?

1772
01:44:43.920 --> 01:44:45.880
Carpin monoxide detectors.

1773
01:44:46.560 --> 01:44:49.439
Yeah, I doubt it, but they should. One should have

1774
01:44:49.479 --> 01:44:52.880
a carbon monoxide detector in their car a car.

1775
01:44:53.279 --> 01:44:59.840
That's so funny. Those you're going to be rich, fabulously wealthy. Okay,

1776
01:45:01.439 --> 01:45:03.079
So is that that's all you got?

1777
01:45:03.359 --> 01:45:05.239
That's the best one. The other one are called that's

1778
01:45:05.239 --> 01:45:05.800
a good one.

1779
01:45:06.079 --> 01:45:07.560
Yeah, now that's a good one. I just I was

1780
01:45:07.600 --> 01:45:09.319
