Hovering. Further evidence. Nathan. So what's
the deal with your brother? What do you mean?
I mean, is he like... What? No, just cause he
says he saw a UFO. I don't know. He's a kid.
Kids say weird shit. Do you think he has something
to do with this girl who disappeared? What the
fuck, dude? I don't know. He's my brother. Okay,
cool. Nah, not cool. Alright. He's like tiny.
He's a dweeb. He'd never... Have you met him?
Like, how would he even... No way, man. Pretty
persuic I guess. Mate, lay off my brother dude.
I thought you didn't like him. Yeah, but he's
my brother. And he's cool. I don't know. No heaps
of shit about telescopes and shit. He's a dweeb,
but he's cool. So you think aliens took that
girl? Yep. They're wasting their time looking
for her here. She's on Mars. They should get
NASA to come in the area with that little fucking
wheelie robot thing. Do you reckon your brother
saw something, though? Nah, mate. He did it on
his computer. He didn't even hide it well. Such
a dumbass. He might have still seen something,
though. Nah. I saw a ghost once. That's for real.
When? When I was little. We were like on a holiday
or some shit. I don't remember, but we were at
this hotel. It was gross. Like, the sheets were
really stiff and cold. No way. The sheets were
really stiff and cold. Man, sounds awful. Nah,
so fuck off. So, in the middle of the night,
right, I woke up and felt real weird, like really
heavy. Like I was made of lead or some shit.
And I heard the shuffling and I turned and there
was actually, there was this guy in my room,
like, looking through the drawers. What the fuck?
There was a guy, like, rifling through things.
What did you do? I was like, hello? I would have
been like, who the fuck are you? Nah, I was shit
scared. I was like, hello? Do you need some help
with something, sir? Nah, just normal. Like,
hello? What was it like? Like, hello? What did
he want? I don't know. What did he look like?
I don't know. Dude, what the fuck? It was dark.
So you couldn't see him? Nah. And you didn't
turn the light on? No way. I wasn't gonna move.
I was gonna put my arms out of the covers. He
would have like chopped them off or some shit.
So basically he just heard noises? No, there
was fully a man there. It was probably a possum
or something, you fuck. No, there was a... I'm
saying there was a man there, looking for something.
And I couldn't move, and he felt like really
sad about it, like really like keen to find this
thing. So what did he say? When? After you said
hello. I couldn't. What the fuck are you talking
about? No, that's what I was trying to say, but
I couldn't move. It was fucked. So you were like,
hello? No, like sound literally couldn't come
out of my mouth. I was frozen. This is new information,
man. That's not what you said before. Yeah. Nah,
you gotta get your story straight, bro. I'm gonna
call Janice from current events, she'll be on
to you. Dude, I swear. Sure. Fuck off, for real.
Alright. You suck. There was a dude in this motel
room. Okay, there was a dude in your motel room,
and you were frozen, and then what? Just had
to lie there and listen to him rifling around.
And then he left, and I just, like, pretended
to be asleep. Dude, that's not a ghost. That's
like some old guy looking for his dentures or
something. How did he have a key maybe it's his
hotel or some shit it was a ghost That is the
shittest ghost story I have ever heard I am telling
you there was a heavy weight on my chest And
it was really cold and I could feel this guy
was real desperate to find something like so
desperate Hope you found his dentures dude you
suck you suck all right But Toby fully made it
up That kid loves outer space so much. There's
no way it would happen actually to someone like
that. Like, it'll probably happen to some old
lady who doesn't give a fuck. Why would a UFO
appear in front of an 11 -year -old kid? What
alien has something to gain from that? I think
you're going to be open to having an experience
like that before it'll happen. Yeah, because
it's bullshit. No, like, my theory is that shit
happens all the time and people just... Our minds
just refuse to believe it, but if you're open
to receiving... Like, more accepted. You'll see
shit. Yeah. Did you see the video? Looks fucking
rad, I must admit. It's pretty cool, it got everyone
going. Like TV crews coming in, you really had
everyone going for a hot minute. It's pretty
cool for a little kid. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
It's a dickhead, but it's pretty cool. Maybe
I'll tell current events about my experience.
Mate, do not. Do you have a number? I am telling
you that is the shittest ghost story. Do not.
I don't know. People are into that shit, man.
You suck, man. You suck. You suck. And what's
this you've brought up on the screen now? Accept
it. What is that shit? Hovering is written and
