WEBVTT 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:02.229 Hey everyone, Dave here. It's Thursday, so you 00:00:02.229 --> 00:00:03.810 know what that means. We got another interdimensional 00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:06.629 swap for you guys. This week, I'm super excited 00:00:06.629 --> 00:00:08.710 to bring you probably one of my favorite new 00:00:08.710 --> 00:00:11.490 shows. It's called Greg's Cryptid Corner. It's 00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:14.810 a lot of fun. Basically what it is, is Greg, 00:00:15.070 --> 00:00:17.949 a true believer in cryptids, paranormal, that 00:00:17.949 --> 00:00:21.050 kind of stuff, tells the story of a cryptid encounter, 00:00:21.410 --> 00:00:24.570 paranormal event, whatever, to his guests who 00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:28.519 are more on the skeptical side. I wouldn't say 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.719 tries to convince them, but tries to move the 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.320 needle slightly, I guess. It's a ton of fun, 00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:36.240 so definitely check this one out. And if you 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.200 like what you hear, they got episodes coming 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.320 out every Wednesday. So they actually just released 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.979 one. But here you go. This is the episode of 00:00:43.979 --> 00:00:47.200 theirs called Black Stick Men. A lot of fun. 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.679 I've said the word fun so many times that I'm 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.100 going to stop talking now. And just, you know, 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.500 enjoy. We had a big trip last week, international. 00:00:55.619 --> 00:00:58.060 We basically went to the other side of the world. 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.219 You dragged us out of bed. I mean, Eric and I 00:01:03.219 --> 00:01:04.819 were in a bed together. I mean, this is pretty 00:01:04.819 --> 00:01:09.500 close to where we live. We were on break. We 00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:14.560 sleep in connecting beds like in Willy Wonka. 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.620 Brand parents. Guys, you know there's no rest 00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:24.500 in the paranormal world. I'm sorry to drag you 00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:26.920 out into the woods again to just tell you a spooky 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.280 story. You said it was life or death. And then 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:31.959 I showed up and there was a campfire and you 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:33.799 had s'mores. And I was like, I know what's going 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.840 on. Greg's doing. Yeah, it's the same thing every 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.439 week. It's shocking that you guys still expect 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.560 something different. All right. So what's going 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.180 to haunt my nightmares this week? Well, you know, 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.579 like so. So what I want to talk about this week. 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.180 It doesn't really have like a localized region. 00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:53.680 So we're just kind of in the woods in general 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:58.459 because it's a global situation. So tonight while 00:01:58.459 --> 00:02:00.799 we're out here, I want you to watch the shadows 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.340 in the forest because the black stick men might 00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:07.980 be tough to notice in the dark. I don't like 00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:10.659 that. We're going to talk about the black stick 00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:13.819 men. Yeah, I figured. I'm familiar. I can draw 00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:16.810 a stick man. I'm a little bit worried about watching 00:02:16.810 --> 00:02:19.310 for the shadows, though. Yeah, okay. All right, 00:02:19.330 --> 00:02:21.569 my nipples are erect. Let's do this. Honestly, 00:02:21.669 --> 00:02:23.490 you're about 90 % of the way at knowing what 00:02:23.490 --> 00:02:27.250 these things are, so you're good. It's Greg's 00:02:27.250 --> 00:02:36.990 Cryptid Corner, where mysteries abound. Bigfoot, 00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:45.780 Mothman, Monsters, let's see what we found. Hey, 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.479 and welcome to another episode of Greg's Cryptid 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.699 Corner, a podcast about monsters for weirdos. 00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:55.979 I'm your host, Greg. And as always, in these 00:02:55.979 --> 00:03:00.300 dark, dank woods, I'm here with my two guests, 00:03:00.539 --> 00:03:03.060 Dan and Eric. How are you boys doing today? Doing 00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:05.759 well. Ready for some stick pit action. Yeah. 00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:08.099 Do they fight? Do you remember those in like 00:03:08.099 --> 00:03:11.750 the... early 2000s stickman fighting videos where 00:03:11.750 --> 00:03:14.009 people would like hand animate stickman fighting 00:03:14.009 --> 00:03:16.569 to the death and like what was it like macromedia 00:03:16.569 --> 00:03:20.210 flash before they got bought by adobe yeah yeah 00:03:20.210 --> 00:03:22.689 so i'm on like e -bombs world and stuff like 00:03:22.689 --> 00:03:24.870 that do these stickmen know karate i guess is 00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:27.490 what i'm wondering um i mean they might okay 00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:29.430 they could it's a little less scary if they don't 00:03:29.430 --> 00:03:32.150 know karate anything anything the creep level 00:03:32.150 --> 00:03:34.669 gets turned up two gauges if they know if they 00:03:34.669 --> 00:03:37.159 know karate So you're terrified of all Kung Fu. 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.259 The Kung Fu movies are horror movies to you. 00:03:39.419 --> 00:03:41.719 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. They can kill 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.659 me pretty easily. I do like watching movies where 00:03:44.659 --> 00:03:46.800 like monsters are doing like drop kicks and stuff 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.319 like that. And it's like, come on. That's a human 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.580 thing. Monsters. That's one thing we got over 00:03:53.580 --> 00:03:55.960 you. You got cool scales and stuff. We get drop 00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.139 kicks and roundhouse punches. Give us one thing. 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.060 Guns. Oh, also guns. Yeah. Humans and bombs. 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.979 Atomic bombs. That was a nice thing. That's pretty 00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:09.680 scary. Are we the scariest monster of all? Are 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.979 we the monster? I think we're the baddies. Oh, 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.639 no. It was coming. It was coming all along. We 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.879 knew it. My eyes are locked on these shadows, 00:04:19.019 --> 00:04:22.879 dude. I need you to talk about these so I can 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.180 soothe myself by explaining a way that they don't 00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:27.959 actually exist. I need that right now because 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.980 right now I believe it. Good luck. So yeah, let 00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:46.519 me tell you about the Black Stick Men. I was 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.439 jogging before sunrise on a trail near the edge 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.699 of town. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw some 00:04:52.699 --> 00:04:55.540 movement. I turned my head and saw what looked 00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:59.410 like a stick figure. Jet black. impossibly thin 00:04:59.410 --> 00:05:03.050 maybe seven feet tall jesus walking across the 00:05:03.050 --> 00:05:07.029 trail about 20 yards ahead it moved in long jerky 00:05:07.029 --> 00:05:11.709 strides but fast no face no clothes it didn't 00:05:11.709 --> 00:05:14.949 turn or react to me at all i stopped dead in 00:05:14.949 --> 00:05:19.490 my tracks then it just wasn't there anymore i 00:05:19.490 --> 00:05:22.490 looked for footprints or broken grass nothing 00:05:23.069 --> 00:05:25.350 This is a report from a witness in California 00:05:25.350 --> 00:05:30.389 in the early 2000s. Okay. So he kind of gives 00:05:30.389 --> 00:05:33.569 a good description of what is known as the black 00:05:33.569 --> 00:05:36.069 stick man, or it's often referred to as the black 00:05:36.069 --> 00:05:39.810 stick man phenomenon. And it kind of came out 00:05:39.810 --> 00:05:42.149 of nowhere. Reports started surfacing online 00:05:42.149 --> 00:05:46.579 around like 2005 -ish. referencing like events 00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:49.079 that occurred in the late to mid like mid to 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.420 late 90s well that's around the time that uh 00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:53.540 the stick man animations i was just talking about 00:05:53.540 --> 00:05:56.680 were all the rage oh no yeah so maybe they maybe 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.019 they broke out of the computer now hold on that 00:05:59.019 --> 00:06:01.000 that quote the describes the stick man is not 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.060 having a face correct okay so am i imagining 00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:09.180 like a loop or am i imagining like a giant like 00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:12.560 ball a giant ball like a filled in black so it's 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.730 filled in okay flat yeah All right. So it's like 00:06:15.730 --> 00:06:18.069 if a black hole sprouted legs and arms and a 00:06:18.069 --> 00:06:20.709 little sticky torso. It's exactly like a stick 00:06:20.709 --> 00:06:23.029 figure, but with a colored in head. Yeah. Okay. 00:06:23.410 --> 00:06:27.449 So they are extremely thin and completely black, 00:06:27.529 --> 00:06:30.290 like matte black. So like there's no reflections. 00:06:30.329 --> 00:06:32.769 There's no nothing to them. Most of the time 00:06:32.769 --> 00:06:35.490 they're humanoid shape, but there have been reports 00:06:35.490 --> 00:06:38.529 of potential like black stick animals accompanying 00:06:38.529 --> 00:06:42.360 them, which is kind of rad. I like that. They 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.339 have like little dogs. Yeah. I think, I think 00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:47.120 one report said there was like a stick horse, 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.300 which just kind of, that's great. It would just 00:06:50.300 --> 00:06:52.360 look like a saw horse with a head. Are these 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.439 like one dimensional? Like they're like, like 00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.480 a piece of paper, like a floppy piece of paper. 00:06:57.620 --> 00:07:00.259 Yeah. And I think we'll get to that, but basically, 00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:03.290 yeah, if you pick. It's hard to describe, right? 00:07:03.370 --> 00:07:07.269 When we're talking about our own 3D world, they're 00:07:07.269 --> 00:07:10.709 2D in this 3D world. So a lot of times people 00:07:10.709 --> 00:07:13.670 reported saying like, no matter what direction 00:07:13.670 --> 00:07:16.730 it was going, it always was facing or what I 00:07:16.730 --> 00:07:19.970 would assume was facing me. So like it didn't 00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:22.589 have a side because it would disappear. And maybe 00:07:22.589 --> 00:07:25.410 like the quote that I read, it said, you know, 00:07:25.410 --> 00:07:27.370 it just disappeared. Like there was nothing there. 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.779 It could have just turned and you can't see it 00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:34.600 because there's nothing there. I am imagining 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.959 you've ever seen those short films made by Dan 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:42.100 Hertzfeld. Don Hertzfeld. Yes. Yeah. What was 00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:44.720 that one called? It's so good. I am a banana. 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.420 Rejected. Rejected. Yeah. Those are really funny. 00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:50.800 Yeah. Yeah. He has a couple like really beautiful, 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.860 existentially devastating short films. I can't 00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:57.279 remember the names right now. Just Google it. 00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.259 If you like devastating movies, you should Google 00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:01.620 it. But he has that like really flat stick man 00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:04.379 kind of style. And I'm kind of imagining one 00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:06.600 of his characters like wandering through the 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.519 woods. And I got to say, dude, nothing about 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.819 this is scary. You're saying like check the shadows. 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.779 I don't think I'll be freaked out if I saw this 00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:15.300 guy. You wouldn't be freaked out if you saw a 00:08:15.300 --> 00:08:17.720 stick figure walking through the woods like that's 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:22.079 normal. Yeah. I mean, when you put it that way, 00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:24.480 I would just assume I like accidentally microdosed 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.560 on something. I also wonder if they, like, make 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.420 noise. Yeah. Because that's scary if they don't, 00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:32.919 you know? Like, they're not crunching leaves, 00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:35.799 and they're not, like, you know. That's pretty 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:40.039 freaky. Most of the reports comment that they 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.340 don't make noise. Okay. That they're silent. 00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:46.000 So good roommates. And they move in a way that, 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.379 like, it looks like they're walking, but it's 00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:52.899 more like floating. So we'll get into that in 00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:56.210 a moment as well. Is it Gumby? If you think of 00:08:56.210 --> 00:08:59.090 Gumby like that, like Gumby is kind of that kind 00:08:59.090 --> 00:09:01.389 of thing. It's kind of scary too. Gumby's like 00:09:01.389 --> 00:09:04.210 terrifying. Yeah. Yeah. He can turn into different 00:09:04.210 --> 00:09:06.149 things. He's made of clay. He's horrifying. Just 00:09:06.149 --> 00:09:08.529 picture him seven feet tall peeking around a 00:09:08.529 --> 00:09:15.110 tree at you. No face. Yeah. Terrifying. Yeah, 00:09:15.230 --> 00:09:17.549 so basically, like I was saying, they look like 00:09:17.549 --> 00:09:19.730 the stick figure drawings that we've all done 00:09:19.730 --> 00:09:22.190 when we were kids, and I still do today because 00:09:22.190 --> 00:09:25.269 I can't draw. Now, while some black stick men 00:09:25.269 --> 00:09:27.950 are average human height, they can range up to 00:09:27.950 --> 00:09:32.450 an estimated 10 feet tall. And the taller versions 00:09:32.450 --> 00:09:35.649 are associated with witnesses feeling dread or 00:09:35.649 --> 00:09:39.750 unease. How many witnesses are we talking? I 00:09:39.750 --> 00:09:43.669 mean... I read a lot on Reddit and other blog 00:09:43.669 --> 00:09:47.710 posts about it. So it's not just a couple. I 00:09:47.710 --> 00:09:50.629 mean, I have three witness reports in here, but 00:09:50.629 --> 00:09:53.649 I just grabbed three that I liked, but there 00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:58.750 were a ton of other ones. And it's in the UK, 00:09:59.009 --> 00:10:02.190 the US, Canada, all different countries they're 00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:04.370 popping up. Is it always in the woods? It's not 00:10:04.370 --> 00:10:08.330 always in the woods. Okay. And it's in the script 00:10:08.330 --> 00:10:11.029 later, but... It's not always at night either. 00:10:11.330 --> 00:10:14.889 Okay. All right. So I'm beginning. Ooh, do you 00:10:14.889 --> 00:10:17.870 smell that? I'm getting a whiff of a future diatribe 00:10:17.870 --> 00:10:20.809 from Greg about interdimensionality and whether 00:10:20.809 --> 00:10:22.629 or not these creatures are popping in and popping 00:10:22.629 --> 00:10:24.789 out. They're just slipping in and slipping out. 00:10:24.870 --> 00:10:30.850 Razor. Yeah. I think, yes, that'll come up, but 00:10:30.850 --> 00:10:32.769 there's also something else that comes up. Okay. 00:10:33.429 --> 00:10:35.690 I'm here. I'm here. You have to play the, you 00:10:35.690 --> 00:10:37.370 have to play the dimensional card with these 00:10:37.370 --> 00:10:40.429 creatures. Is it a sulfur smell? There's no reports 00:10:40.429 --> 00:10:43.950 of stink. So no smell, no sound. They can just, 00:10:44.029 --> 00:10:47.429 so they're matte, right? So they're not reflective. 00:10:47.610 --> 00:10:50.090 So they absorb light. So it sounds like it's 00:10:50.090 --> 00:10:52.289 not that you see light bouncing off of them like 00:10:52.289 --> 00:10:54.570 you normally would. You see the absence. Right, 00:10:54.590 --> 00:10:56.929 right. So they're almost like made out of shadow. 00:10:57.330 --> 00:11:01.389 Well, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about 00:11:01.389 --> 00:11:03.210 that a little bit later as well. You guys are 00:11:03.210 --> 00:11:05.950 jumping way ahead. I think Art Bell did a thing 00:11:05.950 --> 00:11:08.330 on the shadow people. I don't know if that's 00:11:08.330 --> 00:11:13.429 similar to this. We should just keep going because 00:11:13.429 --> 00:11:16.129 it sounds like we want to keep going. There's 00:11:16.129 --> 00:11:18.149 a lot here. Do you feel that tugging on your 00:11:18.149 --> 00:11:22.809 cheek, Eric? We're hooked. So, like I said, yeah, 00:11:22.889 --> 00:11:25.289 like the tall ones are associated with feelings 00:11:25.289 --> 00:11:27.529 of dread and unease. Some even describe their 00:11:27.529 --> 00:11:29.850 encounter as feeling like they were being observed, 00:11:30.129 --> 00:11:32.350 while others said it seemed like the black stick 00:11:32.350 --> 00:11:34.730 men were just completely unaware of the people 00:11:34.730 --> 00:11:38.870 around them. Now, on top of that, they also move 00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:42.450 in like a weird, glitchy, jerky kind of way. 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.679 never leaving footprints or tracks, and seem 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.799 to be massless and flat like they exist in a 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.100 two -dimensional plane of existence. Okay, hear 00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:53.960 me out. Reality is a simulation, and these are 00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:58.259 admin accounts. Okay. Keep that in mind. Okay. 00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:02.299 Hold on to that. All right. You can't see, but 00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:05.620 I'm just holding my crotch. I know that's how 00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:09.090 you remember things. My admin account. Yep. So 00:12:09.090 --> 00:12:10.610 like I said, reports have been from all over 00:12:10.610 --> 00:12:13.169 the world. So these babies don't have any borders. 00:12:13.610 --> 00:12:16.730 And tracking them is basically next to impossible 00:12:16.730 --> 00:12:19.889 because they are seen just disappearing behind 00:12:19.889 --> 00:12:23.070 an object or even just dissolving or being erased 00:12:23.070 --> 00:12:26.970 from sight entirely. And they happen at nighttime 00:12:26.970 --> 00:12:31.500 and during the daytime. Now, a witness in British 00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:35.000 Columbia in 2020 stated, It walked across the 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.299 field behind our house. I was watching it from 00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:40.480 the window with my dog next to me. It was tall, 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.659 maybe eight feet, limbs too long. It didn't make 00:12:44.659 --> 00:12:47.419 a sound, and even the dog didn't bark, which 00:12:47.419 --> 00:12:51.220 was strange. Just watched quietly with his ears 00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:53.860 tucked back. The figure vanished as it passed 00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:55.820 behind a tree, but it didn't come out the other 00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:59.179 side. I checked. No footprints in the snow. So 00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:02.620 what are the black stick men? Now, Eric, you 00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:07.440 brought up shadow people. And I hate talking 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.379 about the shadow people because we haven't done 00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:11.019 an episode on shadow people yet. This is like 00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:14.600 the third time they've come up. I know. But no, 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.100 I don't think they're shadow people. Only because 00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:19.820 shadow people are typically described with like 00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:23.299 more shades of gray, more depth. to their bodies 00:13:23.299 --> 00:13:26.960 and they seem to be like associated like always 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:32.440 with fear and dread um on top of like the um 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:37.179 what's it called uh sleep paralysis and bedrooms 00:13:37.179 --> 00:13:41.240 and more inside hallucinating yeah yeah yeah 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.820 so that's that's the main reasons i don't think 00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:46.700 that they're yeah shadow people i do think there's 00:13:46.700 --> 00:13:49.159 like a peripheral and i'm not saying this is 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.679 what's happening for sure but there's You've 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.220 caught things out of your peripheral vision, 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.019 right? Where you thought somebody was in the 00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:59.259 room with you, like a person, and you look over 00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:01.419 and you're like, oh, no, by myself. That was 00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:05.919 weird, you know? Yeah. So what are you saying? 00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:10.960 So you're leaning into dimensional being? No, 00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:12.980 I'm just saying maybe it's your brain, like, 00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:14.679 playing a trick on you out of your peripheral 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.480 vision. Oh, okay. That makes sense. Oh, a less 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:22.110 fun concept, I see. Yeah, and everybody has, 00:14:22.169 --> 00:14:24.429 like, past experiences with stick figures. Like, 00:14:24.429 --> 00:14:26.809 everybody starts with stick figures. Like, even 00:14:26.809 --> 00:14:28.769 describing, like, the stick figure animals and 00:14:28.769 --> 00:14:31.230 stuff like that sent me back to, like, grade 00:14:31.230 --> 00:14:33.389 school and doodling during history class or whatever. 00:14:33.669 --> 00:14:37.769 Yeah. Yeah, and so we're going to talk about 00:14:37.769 --> 00:14:41.389 that concept in just a minute. But I do need 00:14:41.389 --> 00:14:44.190 to talk about, could this just be another instance 00:14:44.190 --> 00:14:47.129 of dimensional beings? I think, like, not necessarily 00:14:47.129 --> 00:14:50.409 higher level dimension, but actually a lower. 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:56.519 So like existing in our kind of same dimension 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.779 or I guess same reality, but on another like 00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:05.179 2D plane and somehow crossover due to like a 00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:07.139 reason. I have no idea what the reason would 00:15:07.139 --> 00:15:10.179 be, but they kind of just exist in this sort 00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:14.779 of 2D liminal space where just intersections 00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:16.960 occur. And that's when they kind of peek through. 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.799 It's like 8 -bit dimension. Yeah, basically. 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:24.919 I mean, you know the whole idea of... 1D is a 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:29.519 point, 2D is a plane, 3D is XYZ, right? Yeah, 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.000 yeah. We're technically in 4D because there's 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.500 time. Well, yes, but you can't see time. Right. 00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:39.240 Yeah. That'd be cool. What do you think time 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.179 looks like? Shit. Flat circle. Man, you answered 00:15:43.179 --> 00:15:47.070 that fast. There you go. Yeah. he's a true detective 00:15:47.070 --> 00:15:49.169 that's what i've always said eric eric the true 00:15:49.169 --> 00:15:52.210 detective i was you know i was trying to think 00:15:52.210 --> 00:15:53.970 of what time could look like the only image i 00:15:53.970 --> 00:15:56.129 swear to god this is true the only image i could 00:15:56.129 --> 00:15:58.250 conjure to my mind was you like i think of like 00:15:58.250 --> 00:16:00.730 a toilet paper roll but instead of paper like 00:16:00.730 --> 00:16:05.309 the toilet paper it's um it's like infinite tortilla 00:16:05.309 --> 00:16:09.450 oh wait a tortilla tortilla roll but it's on 00:16:09.450 --> 00:16:11.210 like a cardboard tube and you could just wheel 00:16:11.210 --> 00:16:14.210 out as much of it as you want. I'm just picturing 00:16:14.210 --> 00:16:17.269 wiping my butt with a tortilla roll. Well, I 00:16:17.269 --> 00:16:18.730 mean, if you had tacos the night before, bada 00:16:18.730 --> 00:16:21.529 bing, bada boom, you got leftovers, baby. I mean, 00:16:21.549 --> 00:16:23.409 we don't always pack well for these camping trips, 00:16:23.490 --> 00:16:26.190 so that'll happen at some point, I'm sure. Yeah, 00:16:26.190 --> 00:16:29.889 so they could be shadow people. I don't think 00:16:29.889 --> 00:16:32.950 so. They could be dimensional beings. I kind 00:16:32.950 --> 00:16:36.370 of don't think so. There is another one, and 00:16:36.370 --> 00:16:38.929 Dan mentioned it. But I want to hear a witness 00:16:38.929 --> 00:16:43.090 report from Iowa in 2007 first. I saw one standing 00:16:43.090 --> 00:16:46.350 by a cornfield at dusk. It looked like a stick 00:16:46.350 --> 00:16:50.470 figure from MS Paint. It twitched like it was 00:16:50.470 --> 00:16:53.909 buffering. Its legs jerked halfway forward and 00:16:53.909 --> 00:16:57.529 then back again like a corrupted animated loop. 00:16:57.750 --> 00:17:00.509 Then it started walking again and faded into 00:17:00.509 --> 00:17:03.889 thin air after a few steps. Not like it vanished 00:17:03.889 --> 00:17:07.529 suddenly, more like it got erased. So when I 00:17:07.529 --> 00:17:11.269 read that quote, I kind of got thinking about 00:17:11.269 --> 00:17:15.829 simulation theory. So could it be like, could 00:17:15.829 --> 00:17:18.789 black stick man just be like a bad render or 00:17:18.789 --> 00:17:23.230 some sort of glitch in that simulation? Um, like 00:17:23.230 --> 00:17:25.450 to me, that would make sense because if you think 00:17:25.450 --> 00:17:29.220 about like base level. designed for video game 00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:32.220 characters or CG characters in a movie. They're 00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:35.200 essentially built with like a stick figure frame 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.900 inside, which is then layered on. Yeah. Animation 00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:41.700 bones. Yeah. So, and the stick figure is what 00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:44.859 is used to manipulate the movement of it. So 00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:50.799 if, if let's say we're in a simulation and the 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:56.480 render of an object is faulty, you would just 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.529 see. Like, you know, they T -pose a lot in video 00:17:59.529 --> 00:18:01.730 games when something's broken. So if you think 00:18:01.730 --> 00:18:04.369 like, if this is what happens when the simulation 00:18:04.369 --> 00:18:07.769 breaks, that you just see the animation bones, 00:18:07.890 --> 00:18:09.690 is that what you call it? Yeah. Yeah. You're 00:18:09.690 --> 00:18:11.089 saying there's a little bit of black stick man 00:18:11.089 --> 00:18:13.930 in all of us. Yeah. You know what? There is a 00:18:13.930 --> 00:18:16.809 little bit of black stick man in all of us. Potentially 00:18:16.809 --> 00:18:19.970 if we're in a simulation. But this is like the 00:18:19.970 --> 00:18:24.990 best idea for me personally that I've heard about 00:18:24.990 --> 00:18:29.569 so far. for simulation theory well i'm yeah what 00:18:29.569 --> 00:18:31.529 what would you got well i was just gonna say 00:18:31.529 --> 00:18:34.950 like it's jarring for me to hear um i'm so used 00:18:34.950 --> 00:18:38.769 to cryptids being like early 20th century or 00:18:38.769 --> 00:18:42.650 like late 19th century folktales and it's always 00:18:42.650 --> 00:18:45.650 strange to hear like here this is a testimonial 00:18:45.650 --> 00:18:47.890 about a cryptid that drops ms paint in it you 00:18:47.890 --> 00:18:50.220 know And it talks about like it's buffering. 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.579 It's got like a corrupted animation loop. You 00:18:53.579 --> 00:18:55.880 know, like they're using like modern technological 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.160 nomenclature. And it has me wondering, like, 00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:01.400 you know, people weren't really talking that 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:03.640 much about simulation theory. Or maybe we didn't 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.099 have the vocabulary for it until well after the 00:19:06.099 --> 00:19:08.519 Internet dominated all of our brains and all 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.119 of our waking hours. So maybe like the real simulation 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.609 theory is. The more time we spend on the internet, 00:19:14.769 --> 00:19:16.930 the less time we spend in the real world. And 00:19:16.930 --> 00:19:19.769 so the more we just assume the real world, this 00:19:19.769 --> 00:19:22.029 thing that's becoming like slowly alienated from 00:19:22.029 --> 00:19:24.210 us is actually like the fake one that we're choosing 00:19:24.210 --> 00:19:27.170 to spend our time in instead. Simulation theory 00:19:27.170 --> 00:19:29.890 is the friends that we made all along. I think 00:19:29.890 --> 00:19:33.369 so. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. That's the most like 00:19:33.369 --> 00:19:35.230 freshmen in college shit that I think I've ever 00:19:35.230 --> 00:19:37.250 said in my entire goddamn life. I'm so sorry. 00:19:38.549 --> 00:19:42.980 I'm saying this. It sounds kind of like. internet 00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:46.660 brained terminally online people step out in 00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:48.559 the woods and touch grass for the first time 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.039 in like six years. And like out of the corner 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.420 of their eye, they see like my little pony characters 00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:56.119 or like whatever bullshit they watch all day. 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.799 Like, like a meme jumps out from behind a tree 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.440 and they're like, what the fuck was that? I do 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.519 think it's interesting that it's the 2000s. Like 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.740 it's fairly recent. Yeah. I have to tell you, 00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:09.200 like after I've been playing call of duty for 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.849 too long, when I go to bed, I feel like I'm moving. 00:20:13.049 --> 00:20:16.109 Yeah, I have that too. Like I'm rocking on a 00:20:16.109 --> 00:20:18.730 boat. You know what I'm saying? Interesting. 00:20:19.130 --> 00:20:23.230 My eyes are still tracking the screen or something, 00:20:23.329 --> 00:20:26.269 and I feel like I'm in motion. So maybe it's 00:20:26.269 --> 00:20:28.589 something with online presence that you're talking 00:20:28.589 --> 00:20:32.049 about, Dan, or too many computer screens or too 00:20:32.049 --> 00:20:34.710 much screen time. I don't know. There's something 00:20:34.710 --> 00:20:37.890 going on with the fact that it's a recent phenomenon. 00:20:38.450 --> 00:20:41.099 There's always a moment. Or there sometimes is 00:20:41.099 --> 00:20:42.920 a moment where you look at something and there's 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:44.920 like, you have to take a second for your brain 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.519 to register it. And you're like, what is, oh, 00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:50.420 oh, that's, that's like a nude man on a boat. 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.480 I couldn't figure out that that was a nude. I 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:54.960 thought it was a, I don't know, a naked bear. 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:56.759 I don't know. That's a weird example, but you 00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:58.160 know what I mean? When it takes you like a second 00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.660 to identify what is this thing that I'm looking 00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:02.160 at? Yeah. It's like your brain is buffering, 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:06.269 but where previously we would have. like filled 00:21:06.269 --> 00:21:09.349 that gap with something natural. Now in modern 00:21:09.349 --> 00:21:11.869 days, we are filling those gaps with digital 00:21:11.869 --> 00:21:13.710 concepts because that's just what we're used 00:21:13.710 --> 00:21:15.750 to seeing. Yeah. Like we're used to seeing T 00:21:15.750 --> 00:21:19.730 posing glitchy CGI now. Um, I mean, one thing 00:21:19.730 --> 00:21:22.329 I forgot to mention about the black stick men 00:21:22.329 --> 00:21:25.670 that they also reported like, uh, like elevated 00:21:25.670 --> 00:21:29.230 static electricity, uh, in the areas during like 00:21:29.230 --> 00:21:32.950 the, so to me, that also goes towards like simulation. 00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:39.380 Or like some sort of computer technological aspect 00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:43.220 and not necessarily just like dimension. I mean, 00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:45.940 you could say we have no idea. So you could say, 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:50.640 oh, like a surge of electricity is required or 00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.960 happens when you shift dimensions. But like that's 00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:57.759 just conjecture at that point. But we do know 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:01.480 electricity is involved in technology. Yeah, 00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:03.619 that's kind of cool. What if they're just really 00:22:03.619 --> 00:22:06.059 shy? They could just be really shy. Maybe they're 00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:09.880 very apprehensive and anxious about how skinny 00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:12.700 they are. I know I'm a fat guy, so I'm always 00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:14.619 anxious about my appearance, but they're the 00:22:14.619 --> 00:22:19.279 polar opposite. They're thin as sticks. Whatever 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.460 alien species they are, they blush pitch black. 00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:26.339 That's why they're just constantly embarrassed 00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:29.700 and trying to skitter out of view. Yeah. I don't 00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:31.980 know. What do you guys think? Do you like the... 00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:34.130 black stickman phenomenon when i heard about 00:22:34.130 --> 00:22:36.750 it i was kind of like man this is the weirdest 00:22:36.750 --> 00:22:38.970 it's both the weirdest and the dumbest thing 00:22:38.970 --> 00:22:40.529 i've ever heard like it's just stick figures 00:22:40.529 --> 00:22:43.309 but i kind of like i kind of like it too i like 00:22:43.309 --> 00:22:45.950 that it's not just isolated to one small like 00:22:45.950 --> 00:22:49.269 area uh and i also like that it's a recent yeah 00:22:49.269 --> 00:22:51.650 that's interesting and i do like the concept 00:22:51.650 --> 00:22:54.529 of like if we are in a simulation there's some 00:22:54.529 --> 00:22:58.029 sort of like you said dan like an admin or or 00:22:58.029 --> 00:23:01.430 like leftover bones from you know, some sort 00:23:01.430 --> 00:23:05.109 of animation or like a glitch or I don't know. 00:23:05.210 --> 00:23:09.190 It's cool. Yeah. I have two ideas. One idea is, 00:23:09.190 --> 00:23:11.809 um, if we are in a simulation, could these stick 00:23:11.809 --> 00:23:15.869 men be ghosts when you die? And like maybe during 00:23:15.869 --> 00:23:19.509 the death process, you glitch your bones, your, 00:23:19.609 --> 00:23:25.269 your animation bones are left terminally unrendered 00:23:25.269 --> 00:23:28.490 and you wander the globe like popping in and 00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:30.920 out of existence. Uh, that's kind of, I mean, 00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:32.220 I don't think that's actually true, but that's 00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:33.819 really fun to think about. The other thing that 00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:35.960 I was thinking about is, um, I'm going to do, 00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:38.160 I'm going to bring these two things that Greg 00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.200 loves to talk about together. If, if we do live 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:43.819 in a simulation, what does interdimensionality 00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:47.099 mean? Like in the context of a simulation, other 00:23:47.099 --> 00:23:50.880 simulations. Yeah. Okay. So, okay. All right. 00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.500 I guess that answers my question really patently. 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:58.099 Thank you. It's concurrent servers running concurrent. 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.359 So if you think about a server farm, each server 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.960 being a reality, that's basically just parallel 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.140 worlds, right? Just parallel simulation worlds. 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.799 Oh, you just gave me an idea. Okay, so you know 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.579 when... Like back in the day when you're playing 00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:17.700 like Doom on your computer, like back in the 00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:21.019 90s or SNES or like one of the old gaming systems. 00:24:21.099 --> 00:24:23.279 You know how every time a new gaming system comes 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:25.880 out, the graphics look so good. And then you 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:27.720 go back and you play the old one and you're like, 00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:30.059 holy shit, how did I ever think this looked real? 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.200 You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:35.160 graphical fidelity jumps. What if that's happening 00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:38.220 but in real life? What if the stick people are 00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:41.579 actually what the world looked like like a hundred 00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:44.359 years ago? But it's just the rendering technology 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.900 has gotten good and so has our ability to interpret 00:24:46.900 --> 00:24:48.960 it. And now, like, when we see something jump 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:50.680 at us from the past, it's like, oh, shit, that 00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:53.819 looks badly rendered. Yeah. I mean, we have proof 00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:56.019 of that, actually. Because if you look at, like, 00:24:56.059 --> 00:24:58.980 photographs from, you know, 60 years ago, they're 00:24:58.980 --> 00:25:00.839 black and white. The world didn't have color 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.319 yet. Well, you look at cave drawings, they all 00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:06.900 kind of suck. That's true. And if you think of 00:25:06.900 --> 00:25:09.019 cave drawings, there's a lot of stick people. 00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:11.019 A lot of stick animals. There's a lot of tall 00:25:11.019 --> 00:25:14.299 stick weird people with big heads. Yeah. With 00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:15.480 little pets running around. I didn't even bring 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:17.519 that up because I totally forgot. There's a lot 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:20.500 of stick people in our history. And maybe that's 00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:23.640 why we draw them as kids. Because, listen, we 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:25.779 forget a lot of what happened when we were young. 00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:29.240 Like, I think you can see ghosts. I think you 00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.019 can see things we can't see anymore when you're 00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:35.599 a baby. And maybe... You know, toddlers are drawing 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.339 stick figures because that's what they see. And 00:25:38.339 --> 00:25:40.400 not just because it's the easiest way to represent 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.579 a human and we still use them for bathroom signs. 00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.759 Yeah. But... Greg, do you think these are real? 00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:52.160 I kind of do. I kind of do. Yeah. All right. 00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:54.859 Like, I think there's a case for them. It's not 00:25:54.859 --> 00:25:58.180 like it's such a ridiculous thing. It really 00:25:58.180 --> 00:26:02.579 depends on how... bad your brain is broken that 00:26:02.579 --> 00:26:04.339 you could be like yeah there's a lot of there's 00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:07.619 a lot of reasons the history our history alone 00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:14.000 has too many um stick people popping in and out 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.000 of drawings and and and all this kind of jazz 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.960 and we've developed technology to a point where 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:23.420 we can understand that like the stick people 00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:26.400 and and we have words for it now and they didn't 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.339 used to so it was just a drawing on a wall it 00:26:29.339 --> 00:26:32.220 was higher hieroglyphics right yeah or even and 00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:34.859 like and like like native america and like um 00:26:34.859 --> 00:26:38.299 uh caveman drawings you know it's all throughout 00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:41.160 time yeah uh but what about you do you do you 00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:44.359 buy into this no oh are you are you surprised 00:26:44.990 --> 00:26:46.690 No, I don't buy into the Reddit stories about 00:26:46.690 --> 00:26:48.829 stick people in the woods. But I do like the 00:26:48.829 --> 00:26:51.210 ideas that it put up. I like thinking about an 00:26:51.210 --> 00:26:53.170 infinite toilet paper roll made out of tortilla. 00:26:53.450 --> 00:26:56.130 I never would have gotten that without Stickman. 00:26:56.309 --> 00:26:59.690 So I like the stories. That's cool. Eric, how 00:26:59.690 --> 00:27:02.150 about you? I'm the same. I really like the stories. 00:27:02.289 --> 00:27:06.049 I think the interesting part is that the no sound, 00:27:06.329 --> 00:27:09.789 the weird gliding, the fact that they're 10 foot 00:27:09.789 --> 00:27:12.650 tall, the feelings of dread, the static electricity. 00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:16.539 Like at first I didn't think they were very scary, 00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:20.180 but now I'm kind of like if I was alone in the 00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:22.539 woods and all that shit was happening simultaneously, 00:27:23.099 --> 00:27:25.779 it would be pretty freaky, you know? I agree. 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:29.539 Well, yeah, that was our discussion on the black 00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:33.660 stick men. Maybe tonight Dan and Eric will see 00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:36.880 them in the woods and they'll change their opinion 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:39.460 and think that they're 100 % real because they 00:27:39.460 --> 00:27:44.130 are. But yeah, and guys. Greg's Cryptid Corner 00:27:44.130 --> 00:27:46.990 doing well. We got another five -star review. 00:27:47.289 --> 00:27:52.750 Hey, that's nice. It's from Jeff the Agropelter. 00:27:52.930 --> 00:27:55.170 So watch out for Jeff. He's going to throw sticks 00:27:55.170 --> 00:27:59.730 at you from a tree. He'll pelt you. Heading his 00:27:59.730 --> 00:28:02.250 greatest tagline of all time, and it just says, 00:28:02.470 --> 00:28:09.210 I am Squonk, you are Squonk, go birds. Yay! I 00:28:09.210 --> 00:28:13.000 am Squonk, you are Squonk, go birds. If you can, 00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:15.339 leave us a five -star rating and a review, and 00:28:15.339 --> 00:28:18.000 we're going to read them out on the show. We're 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:19.859 only going to read the five stars, because if 00:28:19.859 --> 00:28:23.079 you put four or less, you're just making me sad. 00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:24.920 I'm like, I'm already sad. Why do we want to 00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:28.789 increase that? Um, but, uh, yeah. And follow 00:28:28.789 --> 00:28:31.910 us on Instagram at Greg's cryptid corner, all 00:28:31.910 --> 00:28:34.250 one word. I'm not going to spell that cause it's 00:28:34.250 --> 00:28:36.130 hard enough to type the word cryptid for some 00:28:36.130 --> 00:28:37.910 reason. I didn't let alone trying to spell it 00:28:37.910 --> 00:28:40.450 without looking at it. Um, I'm a, I'm a dummy. 00:28:40.789 --> 00:28:42.710 Uh, but yeah, so we will tell it on yourself. 00:28:43.049 --> 00:28:45.869 I know this is a, this is Greg's therapy corner 00:28:45.869 --> 00:28:50.670 tonight. Um, um, yeah. So like, uh, probably 00:28:50.670 --> 00:28:53.329 Fridays. I don't know if I'll remember each week, 00:28:53.349 --> 00:28:56.289 but probably Fridays. I'll, uh, you know, put 00:28:56.289 --> 00:28:58.750 a post up about what the next cryptid will be 00:28:58.750 --> 00:29:01.730 or the next topic. So follow us there and you 00:29:01.730 --> 00:29:04.970 can read up on it on your own. And then I guess 00:29:04.970 --> 00:29:06.849 we'll just, you'll just hear the same information 00:29:06.849 --> 00:29:09.009 on Wednesdays when the episode comes out. So 00:29:09.009 --> 00:29:11.750 just do you, do you, do you, we love you. And 00:29:11.750 --> 00:29:15.329 I love you. Pennsylvania is nice woods. I love 00:29:15.329 --> 00:29:19.609 the woods. And, and you know, we, we, we've already 00:29:19.609 --> 00:29:22.250 said it, but I do want to make this kind of just 00:29:22.250 --> 00:29:24.569 our, like, The tagline at the end of the episode, 00:29:24.750 --> 00:29:28.950 I am Squonk, you are Squonk, go birds. It just 00:29:28.950 --> 00:29:32.549 feels good. It feels good to say that. But yeah, 00:29:32.670 --> 00:29:35.769 like you guys haven't had any weird black stick 00:29:35.769 --> 00:29:38.809 men, shadow people experiences, have you? Like 00:29:38.809 --> 00:29:40.750 what's the weirdest nightmare you've ever had? 00:29:40.910 --> 00:29:44.650 I vomited spiders once. Oh, that's a good one. 00:29:44.789 --> 00:29:48.349 Yeah. When I was a teenager, I had recurrent 00:29:48.349 --> 00:29:50.710 dreams of spiders crawling all over me and then 00:29:50.710 --> 00:29:53.049 vomiting spiders. That's horrible. Yeah. That's 00:29:53.049 --> 00:29:56.690 rough. Yeah. I had one where we were playing 00:29:56.690 --> 00:29:58.589 hide and seek from a werewolf, and if he found 00:29:58.589 --> 00:30:01.210 you, he ate you. That's pretty intense. It is. 00:30:01.390 --> 00:30:05.430 Wow. Eric, what about you? Oh, I only have wet 00:30:05.430 --> 00:30:11.349 dreams. It's pretty upsetting. Don't start. It's 00:30:11.349 --> 00:30:16.289 pretty upsetting. We should be hydrated.
