WEBVTT 00:00:02.619 --> 00:00:06.219 Welcome to Quizzed Cocktail Party, the only show 00:00:06.219 --> 00:00:08.160 where booze and cryptids collide in a battle 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.900 of wits, memory, and maybe shame. Tonight, our 00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:13.919 brave contestant has spent the past year and 00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.859 a half sitting right here listening to tales 00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:19.140 of monsters, UFOs, hauntings, and some of the 00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:21.820 weirdest shit the world has to offer. He's heard 00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:24.379 stories of telepathic seals, bottomless holes, 00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.019 demon dolls, and creatures that shouldn't even 00:00:27.019 --> 00:00:29.890 exist, but... Did he actually pay attention, 00:00:30.070 --> 00:00:32.509 or was he just nodding along, thinking about 00:00:32.509 --> 00:00:35.229 beer? Our contestant tonight is none other than 00:00:35.229 --> 00:00:38.310 my co -host, my partner in podcast crime, and 00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:40.130 the man whose knowledge we're about to put to 00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:46.969 the ultimate test. Give it up for Sarge! Thank 00:00:46.969 --> 00:00:53.549 you, everyone. Thank you. How are we feeling 00:00:53.549 --> 00:00:56.990 today, Sarge? We feeling, uh... You feeling smart? 00:00:57.170 --> 00:00:59.789 First of all, Sarge, how's it going? Where are 00:00:59.789 --> 00:01:04.609 you from? I feel attacked, Dave. I'm from Massachusetts. 00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:10.230 Okay, alright. Land of Pukwudgies. Trademark, 00:01:10.390 --> 00:01:19.989 Lorne Coleman. Welcome to Quizzed Cocktail Party. 00:01:20.069 --> 00:01:22.150 This is a show where I'm going to ask Sarge, 00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:23.469 my co -host, if you've been paying attention 00:01:23.469 --> 00:01:30.400 for the past two years. Oh, no. Are you feeling 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.959 good about this? You were not expecting this, 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.000 were you? I was not. I told you you were going 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.260 to hate me for this. The minute the music came 00:01:41.260 --> 00:01:44.280 up and it wasn't our soundtrack, I knew I was 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:53.680 in trouble. Here we are. The thing is, I do pay 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.079 attention, but I have no short -term memory whatsoever. 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.799 So as soon as we're done recording, I forget 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.040 the day even happened. Well, this should be a 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.939 lot of fun. I came up with this idea, and I was 00:02:06.939 --> 00:02:09.639 like, I think it would be really funny. I don't 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.060 know. This could be a huge flop. I have no idea, 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.400 because we're not talking about a crypto. Oh, 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.620 I think it's going to be hilarious. Yeah, but 00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:18.740 like I said in that wonderful intro, you've been 00:02:18.740 --> 00:02:21.060 sitting across from me. For almost two years 00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:23.379 now. And I've been telling you these stories 00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:26.979 while you've just been cracking jokes, drinking 00:02:26.979 --> 00:02:31.180 beers, going, huh, that's weird. But the question 00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:35.340 is, how has any of it actually sunk in? Have 00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:38.639 you truly absorbed any of the cryptid paranormal 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.479 chaos that we've unleashed together? Or has it 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.180 all just kind of gone in one ear and out the 00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:46.840 other? You know what I have absorbed is a lot 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.719 of Narragansett beer, our sponsor. Please drink 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.879 it. To answer your question, I'm sure that I've 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.479 retained some of it. Okay, that's fair. Well, 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.360 we're going to put that to the test. Yes, we 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.819 are. But before we do that, how you doing, bud? 00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:07.780 What's going on? What's new? Not much. I had 00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:10.039 a great couple of weeks off, then we came back 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:11.960 for an episode, and then we took another week 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.159 off because it's Labor Day. Hell yeah. And you 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.900 can't work on Labor Day. That's fucked up. Who 00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:19.199 would we be if we worked on Labor Day? Exactly. 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.699 We'd be shills for the corporate machine. Oh, 00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:26.280 I'm glad you're doing good. You're rested up. 00:03:26.419 --> 00:03:29.280 How about you? How are you doing? I'm good. I 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.520 went to Liberty Weekend. We went up to New Hampshire, 00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:34.900 and it was nice. We had to introduce our dogs 00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:36.960 to my mother -in -law's dogs to make sure that 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.039 when we go to Japan in October, they don't fucking 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.639 kill each other. It's 50 -50 on whether or not 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.870 that will happen. But, you know. It's better 00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:50.250 than zero. Better than zero. And that's all you 00:03:50.250 --> 00:03:52.449 can really hope for. Yeah, yeah. It was good. 00:03:52.729 --> 00:03:56.370 Saw my friend's band play at a show. I took my 00:03:56.370 --> 00:04:00.530 first shrooms. Uh -oh. Pretty good. Not going 00:04:00.530 --> 00:04:03.569 to lie. Didn't hate it. I heard they were good. 00:04:03.650 --> 00:04:05.770 Everything looked like it was an 8K. I didn't 00:04:05.770 --> 00:04:07.490 see anything crazy, but everything just looked 00:04:07.490 --> 00:04:09.530 so sharp and crisp. I tried to explain it to 00:04:09.530 --> 00:04:11.050 someone who wasn't tripping that I was with. 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.340 that everything looked like Borderlands, but 00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:17.839 not cel -shaded. I couldn't figure out how to 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.319 describe what it was. But it was great. I had 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.240 a good time. But yeah, that's all I did. It was 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.720 good. That's eventful. That's a lot. Yeah, good 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.319 Labor Day weekend. I think we both kind of crushed 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:37.439 it. All right, Sarge. Are you ready? Requested 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:38.639 comment. Yeah. All right, you want to know the 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.379 rules? The rules are pretty simple. Okay, okay. 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.579 And feel free, anyone listening, to play along. 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:46.759 We're going to turn this into kind of like a 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.879 drinking game, I guess. So the rules are, I'm 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.500 not going to make you chug a beer or a shotgun 00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:52.620 or anything like that. It's basically, you take 00:04:52.620 --> 00:04:55.120 a sip every time you get a question wrong. You 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.519 stall or hesitate too long before answering. 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.899 Oh, that's fucked up. You completely forget we 00:05:00.899 --> 00:05:03.079 even did the episode that I'm asking you about. 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.339 Or you start explaining an answer and then talk 00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:11.389 yourself into the wrong one. I think that one 00:05:11.389 --> 00:05:14.970 might happen. That's going to happen a lot. I'm 00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:17.269 going to get very drunk during this episode. 00:05:18.269 --> 00:05:20.110 And if anyone listening wants to play along, 00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:22.569 you can just follow the same rules as Sarge. 00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:26.589 You just drink with Sarge. Or, bonus, if I sigh 00:05:26.589 --> 00:05:30.089 and then say Jesus Christ Sarge at any point 00:05:30.089 --> 00:05:34.019 during the show. I feel like that happens more 00:05:34.019 --> 00:05:36.300 often. Don't drink if that happens, because then 00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:38.759 you will definitely get drunk. So that's it. 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.439 It's not complicated. There's no real score. 00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:43.199 I'm not going to fucking hold you against it. 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.199 But yeah, so you didn't know this was coming, 00:05:46.339 --> 00:05:48.459 but today, so you didn't have any time to prepare. 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.399 And I only chose episodes that you were on. None. 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.339 So there's going to be no episodes that, like, 00:05:53.339 --> 00:05:55.560 when we did the interdimensional swaps, anything 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.459 before you. There's also nothing I don't think 00:05:57.459 --> 00:06:00.040 about any episodes that you did alone without 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.480 me. Son of a bitch. Those would be the ones I 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.040 would know. Well, yeah, that's why I didn't do 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.019 it. I almost included them, but I didn't. But 00:06:10.019 --> 00:06:13.240 we got a little warm -up round. This one has 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.480 no, there's no, like, no pressure. You don't 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.240 have to. This is just to get an idea of how the 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.980 game's going to go. Okay? Okay. All right. Are 00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:24.420 you ready? Yes. All right. Question one. The 00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:26.600 legendary Polybius arcade cabinet supposedly 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.360 caused bizarre effects in players back in the 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.959 early 80s. Which of the following was not one 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.879 of the reported side effects? A, nightmares. 00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:40.019 B, memory loss. C, seizures. D, sudden overwhelming 00:06:40.019 --> 00:06:43.579 urge to vomit and shit at the same time. A vomit 00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:50.139 and shit. I would have remembered that. I would 00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:55.259 have made a joke. Question two. In Oakville, 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.660 Washington, people got sick after mysterious 00:06:57.660 --> 00:07:00.959 jelly -like blobs rained down from the sky. One 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.160 early theory was that the blobs were pulverized 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:11.939 jellyfish. True or false? That's false. Eat shit. 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.819 Really? I don't remember that being pulverized 00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:21.269 jellyfish. Shit. I was so confident, too. I was 00:07:21.269 --> 00:07:24.670 like, no way. Obviously, I know this. All right, 00:07:24.670 --> 00:07:26.569 so this is the last warm -up question. You're 00:07:26.569 --> 00:07:28.750 kind of getting a feel for it. Okay. All right, 00:07:28.769 --> 00:07:32.350 so during the Robot Flower episodes, we came 00:07:32.350 --> 00:07:35.430 up with ridiculous sports team names for the 00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:38.550 alien robot invaders. Can you name one of those 00:07:38.550 --> 00:07:48.300 teams? Yeah, the Fighting Petunias. Yes! All 00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:50.019 right, so that's the warm -up. From here on out, 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.899 every wrong answer counts. So that means every... 00:07:52.899 --> 00:07:54.759 So you got to follow the rules from now, all 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:59.079 right? Okay. Okay. Question one. In the Mel's 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.839 Hole saga, shady government agents showed up 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.279 and confiscated almost everything Mel owned. 00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:07.500 Which of these items did they not take from him? 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.660 Was it A, his land, B, his money, C, his back 00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:20.550 teeth, or D, his dog? Back teeth. Fuck. Fuck. 00:08:20.850 --> 00:08:24.149 You don't remember them taking his teeth? I thought 00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:26.750 they... It doesn't matter because I was wrong, 00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:29.810 but I thought that, like, he said they didn't 00:08:29.810 --> 00:08:31.970 get the thing in my back teeth. Like, I don't 00:08:31.970 --> 00:08:36.990 know. No, they... This is going great. This is 00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:38.289 going better than I thought it was going to go. 00:08:38.509 --> 00:08:41.309 I mean, not for you. For me, I'm having a blast. 00:08:42.110 --> 00:08:44.289 All right, so... I don't think you understand 00:08:44.289 --> 00:08:46.470 the frustration when I don't know something. 00:08:51.370 --> 00:08:53.990 All right, question two. All right, so this one's 00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:56.690 from our Origins of Friday the 13th episode. 00:08:56.970 --> 00:08:58.809 According to the lore explored in this episode, 00:08:58.990 --> 00:09:01.450 Friday the 13th was historically associated with 00:09:01.450 --> 00:09:04.590 witches holding massive group rituals. True or 00:09:04.590 --> 00:09:13.039 false? True. False. It's tied more to the superstition 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:14.740 and events like the Knights Templar arrests. 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.899 There was nothing to do with witches, nothing 00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:24.559 like that. Okay, well, hold on. All right. Because 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.320 one of the arguments was that the Knights Templar 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.879 were performing occult rituals and stepping on 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:36.240 crosses. Well, no, but when they arrested all 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.340 of them en masse in one day, that was... Oh, 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.500 no, no. I know I'm wrong. I'm just saying that 00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:48.659 was my mindset. I mean, that's what the Pope 00:09:48.659 --> 00:09:51.679 said or whoever said, I think. Yeah. They were 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.980 doing. The Fair of France. I guess it was the... 00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:57.879 I'll give you half credit for that one. All right. 00:09:57.940 --> 00:10:00.179 All right. I'll take it. I'm going to need it. 00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:02.600 Question three. This comes from our Gurning Man 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.700 of Glasgow episode. Oh, I hated this one. The 00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:09.159 Gurning Man became infamous for terrifying women 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.480 late at night. In one particularly disturbing 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.799 encounter, what was he doing at the foot of a 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.840 woman's bed? Was it A, whispering hello over 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.740 and over, B, rubbing his chest like a total fucking 00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:22.600 creep, C, eating cold haggis straight from the 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.440 package, or D, doing jumping jacks completely 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.370 naked? Oh, he was rubbing his chest. He was erotically 00:10:31.370 --> 00:10:33.610 rubbing his chest. Haggis comes in a package? 00:10:33.669 --> 00:10:36.850 I figured it was just handed to you like in the 00:10:36.850 --> 00:10:41.330 bloody hands of a tired butcher. It's like they 00:10:41.330 --> 00:10:43.570 give it to you like it's a fucking lay as soon 00:10:43.570 --> 00:10:49.690 as you land. We should get off the plane to Scotland. 00:10:51.490 --> 00:11:02.259 Oh, fuck. That'd be so good. Just a bunch of 00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:06.080 men in kilts slinging haggis over your neck. 00:11:09.700 --> 00:11:19.840 Question four. This is from the Atlanta Blood 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:24.340 House episode. In 1987, a family discovered mysterious 00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:26.580 blood all over their home. What was especially 00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.820 strange about the source of the blood, according 00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:32.000 to investigators? Was it A, it matched a missing 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.480 person's DNA? B, it came from a pig's carcass 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.220 stored in the basement? C, it was human blood, 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:40.919 but investigators couldn't determine whose it 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:44.460 was? Or D, it mysteriously vanished after drying? 00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:51.340 C, human blood. Look at you, bud. You're killing 00:11:51.340 --> 00:11:54.070 it. You're doing better than I thought. It's 00:11:54.070 --> 00:11:57.029 weird that I got the most recent episode wrong. 00:11:57.629 --> 00:11:59.929 Like the more recent episodes, I think, are the 00:11:59.929 --> 00:12:03.250 ones that I've been getting wrong. Or maybe my 00:12:03.250 --> 00:12:06.169 memory is really that broken. You got the Polybius 00:12:06.169 --> 00:12:08.149 one, right? That's our most recent one. Oh, yeah. 00:12:08.210 --> 00:12:10.529 No, you're right. So I think the human blood 00:12:10.529 --> 00:12:12.250 one stuck in my head because I was like, these 00:12:12.250 --> 00:12:15.870 people are on the hook for murder. Can't find 00:12:15.870 --> 00:12:17.509 a body, but we're pretty sure it's a person. 00:12:17.629 --> 00:12:22.940 Yeah. All right. Question five. This one's from 00:12:22.940 --> 00:12:27.200 our Annabelle debunked episode. Nice. Lou claimed 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.700 that the cursed doll Annabelle tried to kill 00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:32.000 him by doing what during a sleep paralysis episode? 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.379 Was it A, choking him, B, whispering threats 00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:38.659 in his ear, C, writing kill Lou in blood on the 00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:41.320 wall, or D, slowly moving closer to him while 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:52.990 humming a lullaby? Choking him. I... Neato gang. 00:12:53.590 --> 00:12:58.009 All right. I couldn't imagine if it was D, slowly 00:12:58.009 --> 00:13:01.330 moving closer while humming a lullaby. While 00:13:01.330 --> 00:13:03.610 you're dealing with sleep paralysis and the thing's 00:13:03.610 --> 00:13:05.750 just slowly inching towards you. That's worse 00:13:05.750 --> 00:13:07.990 than being choked out, I feel like. I feel like 00:13:07.990 --> 00:13:11.049 that would instill me with existential dread. 00:13:11.450 --> 00:13:14.250 The other one's like, that's like physical fear, 00:13:14.370 --> 00:13:17.190 I feel like. Yeah, but then you have to deal 00:13:17.190 --> 00:13:19.029 with the shame that you were almost murdered 00:13:19.029 --> 00:13:24.440 by a doll. By Raggedy Ann. I mean, none of those 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.340 scenarios are good. And in all those scenarios, 00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:28.899 that doll is trying to fucking kill you. Oh, 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:33.820 yeah. All right. Question six. This question 00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:37.080 comes from the Mormon Bigfoot episode, if you 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:38.899 remember that one. Oh, shit. One of my favorites. 00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:44.159 How many total toes were counted in the tracks 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.240 of the so -called Mormon Bigfoot? I'll give you 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:55.580 plus or minus two. Total as in like, okay. Not 00:13:55.580 --> 00:14:02.860 per Bigfoot, but like all together. Yeah. Fuck. 00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:18.360 I don't know. 32. Got 16 toes a foot. No, that's 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.120 what I was trying to figure out. Like how many, 00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:23.399 because I think it was six per foot, six toes 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.840 per foot. Oh, I'll give you that one because 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.039 the answer is 14 toes. But since you said six 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.019 toes per foot, that's 12. I gave you a plus or 00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:34.200 minus two. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll give you, all 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:38.679 right. I was off by two. Good job. You get that 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:44.269 one. I thought you meant like when they were 00:14:44.269 --> 00:14:45.929 looking at the tracks and I'm like, how the fuck 00:14:45.929 --> 00:14:47.750 am I supposed to know how many toes they saw? 00:14:47.850 --> 00:14:50.750 I was trying to figure out, was it per Bigfoot? 00:14:50.870 --> 00:14:54.830 Yeah, it's like foot. Yeah, you're good. Okay. 00:14:54.990 --> 00:14:58.389 All right. Question seven. This is from our Lake 00:14:58.389 --> 00:15:01.110 Baikal Swimmers episode. Do you recall this one? 00:15:02.370 --> 00:15:08.320 Nope. No? All right. I'm in trouble. Divers in 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.860 Lake Baikal, Russia reported encountering mysterious 00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:14.860 humanoid creatures underwater. Now, these creatures 00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:17.519 were described as being covered in glowing white 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:30.299 hair. True or false? True. Your pause on that 00:15:30.299 --> 00:15:32.940 made me start to second guess myself. It's called 00:15:32.940 --> 00:15:36.460 dramatic tension. Real quick, I was editing this 00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:40.139 and Sarge actually got this one wrong. So I didn't 00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:43.399 mean to hit the correct button. They were not 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:47.600 covered in fur or glowing light. They were actually 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.340 wearing like metallic wetsuits or some shit like 00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:55.600 that. So sorry, Sarge. Sucks to suck. If you're 00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:04.500 playing along, you got to drink. All right, question 00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:09.080 eight. This is from our Macaulay and Bembe episode 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:14.200 with Nash. Macaulay and Bembe is often described 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.559 as resembling what modern, well, what animal? 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.460 An elephant, a rhinoceros, a brontosaurus, a 00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:24.200 really ugly horse. Brontosaurus, hands down. 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:30.080 You did it. I'm so proud of you, bud. You're 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.149 doing pretty good. You're doing pretty good. 00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:35.570 I'm doing much better than I thought I would. 00:16:35.850 --> 00:16:42.429 Much better. All right. So that's all there is 00:16:42.429 --> 00:16:46.009 for round one. You did great. There's multiple 00:16:46.009 --> 00:16:48.110 rounds? God damn it. I honestly was not keeping 00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:51.070 track of how many you got right or wrong. Neither 00:16:51.070 --> 00:16:55.549 was I. Hopefully, if you're listening, start 00:16:55.549 --> 00:16:59.169 the episode over and please. Keep score. We had 00:16:59.169 --> 00:17:02.409 like nine questions, I think, and I answered. 00:17:02.509 --> 00:17:04.549 We had eight questions, and I think I answered 00:17:04.549 --> 00:17:07.869 five correctly and three wrong. Sure, we'll go 00:17:07.869 --> 00:17:11.230 with that. But round two is going to be, they're 00:17:11.230 --> 00:17:12.670 not going to be like crazy hard, but they're 00:17:12.670 --> 00:17:17.269 going to be a little harder. Oh, okay. I think 00:17:17.269 --> 00:17:20.509 you've been doing good so far. I think you can 00:17:20.509 --> 00:17:22.769 muscle your way through this one. I want to bat 00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:28.569 500 in this round. All right, so round two. Question 00:17:28.569 --> 00:17:32.210 one. This comes from our Project Pegasus episode 00:17:32.210 --> 00:17:37.490 part two. Okay. All right. So according to whistleblowers, 00:17:37.529 --> 00:17:40.410 what bizarre activity allegedly took place on 00:17:40.410 --> 00:17:43.390 Mars through the secret Project Pegasus time 00:17:43.390 --> 00:17:47.670 travel program? Was it A, Starbucks on Olympus 00:17:47.670 --> 00:17:51.119 Mons? B, children sent to interact with Martian 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.420 dinosaurs. C, a VIP golf course for government 00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:57.519 officials. Or D, Elvis living in a space pyramid. 00:17:58.619 --> 00:18:07.539 No, it was the kids and the dinosaurs. Yes. However, 00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:14.019 Elvis was a close second. All right, this one 00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:17.990 I kept in. Just because it's fun. You're going 00:18:17.990 --> 00:18:20.210 to know the answer to this right away. True or 00:18:20.210 --> 00:18:24.250 false? The Fresno Nightcrawlers are famous for 00:18:24.250 --> 00:18:26.630 looking like tall, pale, floating pairs of pants 00:18:26.630 --> 00:18:33.410 walking around at night. True. And we need pantsers. 00:18:35.490 --> 00:18:41.769 Trademark. My girl, Amanda. I kept that one in 00:18:41.769 --> 00:18:48.420 there just because it was fun. All right. After 00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:50.599 writing these out, I realized that you weren't 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.339 on this episode, but were you? No, I don't think 00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:56.799 you were. I don't know. I probably wasn't. I 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.859 don't know. I don't remember. But anyways, this 00:18:58.859 --> 00:19:02.420 comes from the Vegetable Man episode. Nope, I 00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:03.940 was there. I was on this one. Were you on that 00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:05.579 one? I couldn't remember if it was you or my 00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:08.160 cousin or if it was both of you. It was probably 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:12.160 both of us, I think. All right. So question three 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.710 from the Vegetable Man episode. The vegetable 00:19:14.710 --> 00:19:17.289 man was said to have what bizarre feature that 00:19:17.289 --> 00:19:20.650 terrified witnesses? Was it A, it could photosynthesize 00:19:20.650 --> 00:19:23.369 sunlight through its skin? B, it made people 00:19:23.369 --> 00:19:27.230 crave salads uncontrollably? C, it injected victims 00:19:27.230 --> 00:19:30.369 with needle -like fingers? Or D, it spoke only 00:19:30.369 --> 00:19:38.069 in screaming vegetable puns? Needle -like fingers? 00:19:38.769 --> 00:19:43.349 You didn't sound too confident. I'm not. Because 00:19:43.349 --> 00:19:45.569 all I could remember was his glistening thighs 00:19:45.569 --> 00:19:49.170 that they kept describing. That's a different 00:19:49.170 --> 00:19:53.069 thing. Oh, then I wasn't on this episode, but 00:19:53.069 --> 00:19:55.289 I'm going to say needle -like fingers anyway. 00:19:57.109 --> 00:20:07.109 Hell yeah, man. Yes! All right, all right. That's 00:20:07.109 --> 00:20:09.869 good. You got it even without being on the episode. 00:20:09.930 --> 00:20:14.529 You see, man, you're killing it. I have my moments. 00:20:16.450 --> 00:20:19.450 All right, question four. This comes from our 00:20:19.450 --> 00:20:22.650 Flatwoods Monster episode. The Flatwoods Monster 00:20:22.650 --> 00:20:25.849 is often depicted wearing what strange, almost 00:20:25.849 --> 00:20:28.430 regal piece of attire? This is an open -ended 00:20:28.430 --> 00:20:30.029 question. I'm not going to give you any choices. 00:20:30.930 --> 00:20:38.829 A crown. No, but I'll let you try again. You're 00:20:38.829 --> 00:20:42.259 kind of close. You're kind of close. A cloak. 00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:58.619 A tiara. A stovepipe top hat. You know what? 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.519 You got further away from it, so I'm going to 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:10.849 say no. A regal cape. Was it a cape? No, it had 00:21:10.849 --> 00:21:14.069 like a spade -shaped hood almost kind of thing. 00:21:14.329 --> 00:21:18.309 Oh, goddammit. Yeah. Goddammit. I'm sorry, man. 00:21:18.450 --> 00:21:23.710 You can't win them all. No, you can't. You got 00:21:23.710 --> 00:21:27.970 so... You were closer with crown, and then you 00:21:27.970 --> 00:21:35.750 moved to a stovepipe hat. I love it. Well, if 00:21:35.750 --> 00:21:37.890 you don't think a stovepipe hat is regal, then 00:21:37.890 --> 00:21:39.930 you have not seen Abraham Lincoln. No, that's 00:21:39.930 --> 00:21:40.849 valid. That's all I'm going to say about that. 00:21:41.009 --> 00:21:43.890 Valid. Valid. All right. Question five. This 00:21:43.890 --> 00:21:47.430 comes from the Allagash Abductions episode. So 00:21:47.430 --> 00:21:49.890 in the Allagash Abduction case, what were the 00:21:49.890 --> 00:21:51.769 group of men doing when they first encountered 00:21:51.769 --> 00:21:55.230 the UFO? Was it A, night fishing, B, camping 00:21:55.230 --> 00:21:58.250 and roasting marshmallows, C, streaking through 00:21:58.250 --> 00:22:01.329 the woods on mushrooms, D, playing Dungeons and 00:22:01.329 --> 00:22:03.990 Dragons in a tent? They were definitely night 00:22:03.990 --> 00:22:08.799 fishing. Night fishing? Yeah. Final answer? Yep. 00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:16.019 You sure? Oh yeah, 100 % confident. Because I 00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:17.559 remember thinking to myself, you fucking idiots. 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.660 Why? Of course the aliens are going to take you. 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:25.059 You're out in the middle of a lake. You're pretty 00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:26.720 much, you're literally a sitting duck at that 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.720 point. Yeah, you're asking for it. Are you going 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:34.480 to swim away? Good luck. All right. I also left 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:36.220 this one in here for you just to give you kind 00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:41.200 of a little easy one. True or false, according 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.680 to Appalachian folklore, mimics are supernatural 00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.460 entities that copy voices and appearances to 00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:51.680 lure victims. True. 100 % true. 100 % true, baby. 00:22:51.819 --> 00:22:57.799 You would know. You wrote the episode. All right. 00:22:58.180 --> 00:23:02.859 Okay. This one's a little harder. It comes from 00:23:02.859 --> 00:23:06.619 our Toynbee Tiles episode. Okay. About how many 00:23:06.619 --> 00:23:11.720 confirmed tiles have been documented? Oh, that's 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.660 really tough. I'm definitely going to get this 00:23:14.660 --> 00:23:16.819 wrong. I want to say 12, but that can't be right. 00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:23.160 I feel like there's way more. I'll give you three 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:26.299 guesses. Not including the one you just said. 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:38.849 Okay, good. 64, 30. And over 100. Fine, I'll 00:23:38.849 --> 00:23:44.150 give it to you. Was it over 100? The correct 00:23:44.150 --> 00:23:49.369 answer is around 130. Oh, Jesus Christ, that 00:23:49.369 --> 00:23:54.789 dude was... As soon as I said 12, I was like, 00:23:54.829 --> 00:23:58.309 wait a minute. Maybe in like the greater Philadelphia, 00:23:58.369 --> 00:24:02.000 maybe like in Philadelphia itself. In one square 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.839 block. But remember, he went around the world, 00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:06.920 dude. He was in fucking South America and shit. 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.980 I remember in that episode, there was the theory 00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:12.740 that he was just dropping it out of his car and 00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:15.940 people were driving over it. I don't think that's 00:24:15.940 --> 00:24:17.359 the theory. I think that's exactly how he did 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:22.059 it. That's pretty good. It could be. Either that 00:24:22.059 --> 00:24:26.359 or he has a good road crew. He doesn't work for 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:27.779 the city of Philadelphia, I'll tell you that 00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:34.259 much. Ay, fucking burn. Got him. Ayo. Got him. 00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:37.759 All right. This is question eight, and it is 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:43.380 the last question of round two. Okay. Oh, shit. 00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:48.099 This comes from our Ghost Moms episode, the one 00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:49.660 we did for Mother's Day. I don't know if you 00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:51.680 remember that one at all. Okay. One of the spirits 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:53.970 covered in this episode, the Rasulca. is a type 00:24:53.970 --> 00:24:56.930 of ghost from which country's folklore? A, Russia, 00:24:57.130 --> 00:25:06.369 B, Japan, C, Ireland, or D, Brazil? I'm going 00:25:06.369 --> 00:25:09.509 to say Brazil. You're going to say Brazil? Yeah. 00:25:12.710 --> 00:25:15.730 Fuck. Japan. It had to be Japan. The audience 00:25:15.730 --> 00:25:18.950 did not like that one. It had to be Japan then. 00:25:19.089 --> 00:25:24.109 Russia. What? Russia. Fucking Russia. Rusalka 00:25:24.109 --> 00:25:28.009 sounds very Russian. You never know. That's fair. 00:25:28.150 --> 00:25:30.609 All right. So you made it through round one and 00:25:30.609 --> 00:25:33.130 round two fairly unscathed, I feel like. I feel 00:25:33.130 --> 00:25:36.089 you got more right than wrong. That's the plan 00:25:36.089 --> 00:25:40.349 the whole time. That's the plan going into any 00:25:40.349 --> 00:25:42.690 sort of test, I assume, right? Is get more right 00:25:42.690 --> 00:25:45.470 than wrong? Yeah. I'm shooting for 70s the whole 00:25:45.470 --> 00:25:48.950 way across. I think that's the average so far. 00:25:49.069 --> 00:25:51.569 That's pretty good. All right. So are you ready 00:25:51.569 --> 00:25:54.200 for round three? Going into round three, where's 00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:57.539 your mind at? Let's get a little insight into 00:25:57.539 --> 00:26:01.259 the player. I think for round three, I'm fucked. 00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:05.500 You think so? With my overflow from the previous 00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:07.700 rounds, with my wins from the previous rounds, 00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:10.319 I think I'm going to get away with a 500 average. 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:16.460 Okay. That's all right. Okay. We'll see. Oh, 00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:23.970 just so you know. uh, there's no like repeating, 00:26:24.049 --> 00:26:26.269 like you're not going to get a question from 00:26:26.269 --> 00:26:28.049 Polybius from round one and then another one 00:26:28.049 --> 00:26:29.609 in round two. I made sure to do like, Oh yeah, 00:26:29.630 --> 00:26:31.650 no, I figured that wasn't going to happen. Okay. 00:26:31.730 --> 00:26:35.589 So you can't rely on previous episodes or previous 00:26:35.589 --> 00:26:38.490 questions to get you through this. Yeah. All 00:26:38.490 --> 00:26:41.289 right. But I did make sure to use that Mel's 00:26:41.289 --> 00:26:44.690 hole was counted as each episode. So there's 00:26:44.690 --> 00:26:48.769 three Mel's hole questions. So maybe, Oh yeah. 00:26:48.930 --> 00:26:52.230 Uh, and speaking of which, Round three, question 00:26:52.230 --> 00:26:56.170 one. During one of Mel's more disturbing experiments, 00:26:56.589 --> 00:26:58.789 he pulled up something no one was prepared for. 00:26:58.950 --> 00:27:02.390 What was it? Was it A, a telepathic fetus seal 00:27:02.390 --> 00:27:04.349 with sad human eyes that emerged from the hole? 00:27:04.569 --> 00:27:23.279 B, a heavy black eye? The confidence. Do you 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:25.559 want to hear the other ones, or are you good? 00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:28.700 I think we're good. I want to hear them. You 00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:30.660 put in the effort. I want to know what the other 00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:33.440 options are. B was a heavy black object giving 00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:36.660 off a low hum. C, the partially preserved remains 00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:39.920 of a strange animal. Or D, a length of rope tied 00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:45.480 into intricate, unfamiliar knots. No, it had 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:54.250 to be A. God damn. You guys think I don't pay 00:27:54.250 --> 00:27:57.869 attention. I mostly do. Well, to be fair, the 00:27:57.869 --> 00:27:59.910 Mel's holes episodes, I think were some of our 00:27:59.910 --> 00:28:01.829 funnest episodes we've ever done. And it's kind 00:28:01.829 --> 00:28:03.750 of hard to forget some of those jokes and shit 00:28:03.750 --> 00:28:09.970 that we made. So the fetus seal sad human eyes. 00:28:10.089 --> 00:28:12.509 I could, I could never forget that. It's too 00:28:12.509 --> 00:28:16.190 good. You can't forget it. Yeah. Cause I just 00:28:16.190 --> 00:28:22.630 kept thinking of the Sarah McLaughlin song. oh 00:28:22.630 --> 00:28:24.130 shit I forgot I have a laugh track this entire 00:28:24.130 --> 00:28:26.089 I should have been using it say that again one 00:28:26.089 --> 00:28:29.950 more time I kept thinking about the Sarah McLaughlin 00:28:29.950 --> 00:28:36.470 song it's a very weak laugh such underwhelming 00:28:36.470 --> 00:28:39.769 laughter is that not three people who remember 00:28:39.769 --> 00:28:44.200 the ASPCA commercial We're in 2025. No one knows 00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:48.259 who the fuck Sarah McLachlan is. I know. I chose 00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:50.839 the sad laugh. Not the sad, but the weaker one 00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:53.880 because I thought it would be way funnier. But 00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.059 it doesn't work if we're both laughing over it 00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:58.940 hysterically while it's just ha ha ha ha ha ha. 00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:05.619 All right. Question two. This is from our Valiant 00:29:05.619 --> 00:29:07.839 Thor episode. This is probably an easier one. 00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:11.240 True or false? Valiant Thor supposedly lived 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:13.839 inside the Pentagon for three years while advising 00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.700 the U .S. government on alien matters. True. 00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:25.859 Yeah, that was too easy. All right. You had a 00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:28.279 badass little sex apartment. You and that guy 00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:32.980 were going at it. Question three. This is from 00:29:32.980 --> 00:29:37.319 our Seekers UFO Doomsday Cult episode. Okay. 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.859 When the world didn't end on the predicted date, 00:29:40.019 --> 00:29:42.480 the Seekers didn't admit defeat. Instead, they 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.700 claimed what? A. The prophecy was misread and 00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:47.799 the end was still coming, just a different date. 00:29:47.940 --> 00:29:51.000 B. Their faith prevented the apocalypse saving 00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.319 the world. C. The aliens demanded a cash offering 00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:57.900 to reschedule the event. D. Everyone who doubted 00:29:57.900 --> 00:30:02.579 them would now be abducted immediately. B. B? 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:10.970 Yeah. It was B. I feel like at one point, though, 00:30:11.029 --> 00:30:15.470 they did do A, and that's why I put A, because 00:30:15.470 --> 00:30:17.990 I feel like no matter what, that cognitive dissonance 00:30:17.990 --> 00:30:21.089 is just going to fuck you. Yeah. I mean, honestly, 00:30:21.210 --> 00:30:23.589 in any cult, it's either going to be A or B. 00:30:24.049 --> 00:30:28.529 Yeah. And then it'll eventually lead to F, suicide. 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.019 Skipping over E entirely. Yeah, no. E's are pointless 00:30:37.019 --> 00:30:41.880 at that point. All right. Question four. This 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.400 is from the nameless thing of 50 Berkeley Square 00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.240 episode. The one with the sailors. Yep. Y 'all 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:56.589 remember that one. Name of my erotic novel. What 00:30:56.589 --> 00:30:58.710 happened to the maid who encountered the creature 00:30:58.710 --> 00:31:06.730 in 50 Berkeley Square? Oh, shit. I feel like 00:31:06.730 --> 00:31:12.390 she went crazy. Did she just go crazy? I don't 00:31:12.390 --> 00:31:15.410 know. Did she? Yeah. I'm going to say that. I 00:31:15.410 --> 00:31:18.690 feel like she went insane. She went insane? Yeah. 00:31:21.690 --> 00:31:24.619 Did she just do something lame like quit? No, 00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:29.440 she was literally scared to death. Oh. Oh, I 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.660 didn't go far enough. Yeah, you were close. You 00:31:32.660 --> 00:31:35.400 were close, but no cigar. All right, question 00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:39.519 five. I'm going to stop telling you what episodes 00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:42.099 they're from. I just have to guess at that point? 00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:45.880 Yep. The earliest known recorded case of spontaneous 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.119 human combustion dates back to what century? 00:31:51.019 --> 00:32:02.519 Oh, God damn it. Century? Fuck my life. I don't 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:04.279 know. I feel like it was Roman times, but I don't 00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:08.480 know what century it was. Dave, if I was good 00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:10.059 at numbers, I wouldn't be doing this. That's 00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:12.299 valid. You know, I'd be doing a numbers job. 00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:16.259 It definitely dates back to Roman times, so I 00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:18.799 don't know. When the fuck... Rome's still there. 00:32:19.789 --> 00:32:23.549 Rome exists now. Roman Empire. You know, when 00:32:23.549 --> 00:32:26.250 they had like gladiators and shit, not just good 00:32:26.250 --> 00:32:29.329 pizza and the Pope. I'm going to be honest. I 00:32:29.329 --> 00:32:30.910 don't know what time period that was, but I'm 00:32:30.910 --> 00:32:37.329 going to say no. The 17th century. What? No way. 00:32:37.910 --> 00:32:41.470 1600s. 1600s was one of the earliest known recorded 00:32:41.470 --> 00:32:43.849 cases. I'll accept my loss here, but you might 00:32:43.849 --> 00:32:45.789 want to look that up because I'm pretty confident 00:32:45.789 --> 00:32:47.970 they said the earliest known cases went back 00:32:47.970 --> 00:32:51.599 to Roman times. Maybe they... But this is, like, 00:32:51.619 --> 00:32:55.220 recorded. Well, I mean, we wouldn't have known 00:32:55.220 --> 00:32:57.359 about it had they not recorded it back then either, 00:32:57.460 --> 00:33:01.480 so... Fuck off. All right. I'll look it up. I'll 00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:04.420 look it up. Okay. I entirely accept that I could 00:33:04.420 --> 00:33:07.680 be 100 % wrong here, so it's not like I'm testing 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.619 you. Hey, yeah, exactly. You know what? Fuck 00:33:10.619 --> 00:33:12.599 you. I'm testing you. You're not testing me. 00:33:12.660 --> 00:33:16.799 I'm asking the questions here. All right? fucking 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:18.539 watcher you're talking to, man. I have control 00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:21.319 of the buzzer. They already said I was wrong. 00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:25.059 Alright, this is what I have to tell you the 00:33:25.059 --> 00:33:26.660 episode because this question makes no sense 00:33:26.660 --> 00:33:28.279 if I don't. It's from the Red Ghost episode. 00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:31.900 Do you remember the Red Ghost? Sure. Yeah, alright. 00:33:36.660 --> 00:33:38.920 Well, witnesses didn't just see a terrifying 00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.059 creature. They saw what horrifying detail on 00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:45.180 its back? A rotting human corpse tied to it? 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.880 A bundle of weapons strapped with rawhide, a 00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:51.880 mangled deer carcass still bleeding, or dozens 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:54.839 of bones lashed together like a saddle? I'm going 00:33:54.839 --> 00:34:01.680 to say rotting human corpse. That was the most 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:04.599 familiar of the answers. Yeah, the red ghost 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:08.739 was like the demon camel. Remember the... Oh, 00:34:08.739 --> 00:34:11.320 you said Red Ghost. Well, it's called the Red 00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:13.300 Ghost. And I did all that research on camels 00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:16.519 across the United States and Australia. It was 00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.739 the name of the... It's called the Red Ghost. 00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.320 Yeah. No, that's my bad. That's my bad for not 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.500 remembering, given that I actually did research 00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:31.260 on camels. See, even that wouldn't have helped. 00:34:31.340 --> 00:34:33.199 I could have done episodes. I should have included 00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:34.519 more episodes than you did. You might not have 00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:38.280 remembered. Yeah, just say the one with the orange 00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.940 Yeti that had tentacles, and I'll remember what 00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:44.599 the episode was. All right, you ready for question 00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.239 seven? Yeah, let's do it. All right. During the 00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:50.980 Vietnam War, U .S. soldiers using night vision 00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:53.460 goggles reported seeing what horrifying sight 00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:56.440 in the jungle? Was it A, gargoyle -like creatures 00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:59.539 moving through the trees, B, transparent humanoids 00:34:59.539 --> 00:35:03.090 like heat mirages, C, oversized mouths full of 00:35:03.090 --> 00:35:06.050 fangs emerging from the shadows. Or D, skinless 00:35:06.050 --> 00:35:09.969 figures crawling on all fours. Gargoyles, definitely 00:35:09.969 --> 00:35:18.969 A. And I just, so, I love this because I was 00:35:18.969 --> 00:35:22.389 trolling through YouTube, like I do, because 00:35:22.389 --> 00:35:24.130 I watch YouTube videos while I'm doing my day 00:35:24.130 --> 00:35:28.550 job. Yeah. And this fucking goon, this absolute... 00:35:30.110 --> 00:35:34.989 pile of knobs tried to tell everybody in his 00:35:34.989 --> 00:35:40.650 audience that that was a real thing uncritically 00:35:40.650 --> 00:35:44.969 was just like experimental night vision in Vietnam 00:35:44.969 --> 00:35:48.349 and I wanted to hit him with a shovel so bad 00:35:48.349 --> 00:35:51.650 I was so angry I was like do like the smallest 00:35:51.650 --> 00:35:54.409 amount of research you fucking idiot find out 00:35:54.409 --> 00:35:55.909 who this was and let's invite him on the show 00:35:57.469 --> 00:36:00.829 So I can blow up his spot? Yeah. I wouldn't even 00:36:00.829 --> 00:36:02.849 have to talk for that episode. It would just 00:36:02.849 --> 00:36:06.389 be him going... I would ask the question, he 00:36:06.389 --> 00:36:08.590 would answer, and then it would just be 15 minutes 00:36:08.590 --> 00:36:12.869 of you being like, you're a fucking idiot. Dude, 00:36:12.869 --> 00:36:17.489 I was so mad. I was like, how dare you? I've 00:36:17.489 --> 00:36:20.050 always wondered why we don't do that. This is 00:36:20.050 --> 00:36:23.070 like the largest collection of veterans in the 00:36:23.070 --> 00:36:25.690 history of the world. You could like in the history 00:36:25.690 --> 00:36:27.429 of the United States is the largest collection 00:36:27.429 --> 00:36:29.570 of veterans in our lifetime that you have at 00:36:29.570 --> 00:36:31.829 your disposal. And you're just going to uncritically 00:36:31.829 --> 00:36:34.289 be like, yeah, they had night vision in Vietnam 00:36:34.289 --> 00:36:36.429 and it was super small and easy to wear in your 00:36:36.429 --> 00:36:39.110 head. Yeah. You fucking idiot. I've always wondered 00:36:39.110 --> 00:36:41.550 why we haven't done more of that is where we 00:36:41.550 --> 00:36:46.090 just invite like full on paranormal cryptid conspiracy 00:36:46.090 --> 00:36:49.340 grifters onto the show. under the guise of like 00:36:49.340 --> 00:36:53.159 an actual like interview and then well after 00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:54.639 this episode i don't know if that's gonna be 00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:56.780 possible they're not gonna hear it they'll be 00:36:56.780 --> 00:36:59.960 fine most most that's true they never they would 00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:01.719 never listen to an episode here's what i found 00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:04.960 out most guests you get on a podcast they've 00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:06.980 never listened to your show before and they're 00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:13.139 not gonna listen to it after so because most 00:37:13.139 --> 00:37:14.760 people i mean not the guests we have they're 00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:16.360 pretty cool i mean i don't think they've ever 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:18.500 listened to our show maybe i mean nash probably 00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:21.360 has but i mean for the most part they're just 00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.579 here to promote whatever they're doing yeah so 00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:27.599 but also like if anyone invites me onto their 00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:30.099 podcast i'm going to uncritically be like yes 00:37:30.099 --> 00:37:32.619 i'm going to take one look at their social media 00:37:32.619 --> 00:37:34.639 to make sure they're not nazis and then i'm just 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.369 going to go with the flow I actually, because 00:37:37.369 --> 00:37:39.369 it's fun. Yeah. I mean, but I'll, I'll listen. 00:37:39.469 --> 00:37:41.650 You gotta listen to it, but most people don't. 00:37:41.650 --> 00:37:43.070 So I feel like, well, yeah, that's what I'm saying 00:37:43.070 --> 00:37:45.329 is like, I take a look at their social media 00:37:45.329 --> 00:37:47.510 first before I agree to it. And then I listened 00:37:47.510 --> 00:37:49.909 before I go on the show. Yeah. So why don't we 00:37:49.909 --> 00:37:52.610 just start getting these people on the show? 00:37:52.849 --> 00:37:59.010 I think it'd be really funny. And because I might 00:37:59.010 --> 00:38:01.550 have an aneurysm, the episodes will be 15 minutes 00:38:01.550 --> 00:38:03.670 long because either they'll storm off or you 00:38:03.670 --> 00:38:13.480 will die. Nothing good is going to come from 00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:17.079 it. It's going to be fine. Oh, God. It'll be 00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:20.579 good for us. I think it'll be really funny. Let's 00:38:20.579 --> 00:38:24.820 start with Lorne Coleman. No, I can't. That's 00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:27.659 true. I couldn't either. I couldn't even pretend. 00:38:28.539 --> 00:38:30.780 We would start with a Bridgewater Triangle story 00:38:30.780 --> 00:38:32.699 and we'd all go downhill from there. And then 00:38:32.699 --> 00:38:35.280 we'd talk about fucking, what was it? Bigfoot 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:42.960 Palooza or whatever the fuck. Good old Rob Crean. 00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:45.760 The greatest story ever told. Oh, goddamn. Okay. 00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:48.300 All right. All right. Yeah, so find out who the 00:38:48.300 --> 00:38:49.820 Night Vision Goggle guy is and I'll reach out 00:38:49.820 --> 00:38:54.760 to him. All right. Okay. Question eight. Last 00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:58.340 question of round three. The Mad Gasser struck 00:38:58.340 --> 00:39:00.639 terror by spraying gas into homes using what 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.690 makeshift delivery system? A long rubber tube 00:39:03.690 --> 00:39:07.090 connected to a pressurized canister. B, a hand 00:39:07.090 --> 00:39:10.369 -pumped incesticide sprayer. C, a cracked garden 00:39:10.369 --> 00:39:13.409 hose held together with cloth and tape. Or D, 00:39:13.590 --> 00:39:16.369 an old perfume bottle filled with toxic fumes. 00:39:16.849 --> 00:39:19.429 Long rubber tube, pressurized canister. That's 00:39:19.429 --> 00:39:26.070 what I think. Pretty confident. Yes! Mad Gasser, 00:39:26.070 --> 00:39:31.179 a Saskatoon. So here's... I found out it's Mattoon, 00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:33.500 but also it's not Mattoon, it's Matten. We got 00:39:33.500 --> 00:39:35.860 wildly corrected on that after that episode, 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:38.420 and I never... The Mad Gasser of Matten? Yeah, 00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:41.719 turns out... That's no fun. Mad Gasser of Mattoon 00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:44.079 is way better. Yeah, if there's two T's and two 00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:48.179 O's, that's a Mattoon, if I've ever heard one. 00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:51.760 Yeah, knock it off. To be fair, though, we're 00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:54.119 from an area where there's a place called Lemonster, 00:39:54.219 --> 00:39:58.320 clearly spelt Leo Minster. Yeah. So who are we 00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.900 in Worcester? Yeah. Who are we to fucking in, 00:40:01.940 --> 00:40:04.860 in reading what we call it? Reading. Cause we're 00:40:04.860 --> 00:40:07.900 assholes. Yeah. It's reading. Obviously. Yeah. 00:40:07.940 --> 00:40:11.079 All right, Sarge. Haverhill. Haverhill. Yeah. 00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:16.679 We just hate language. It's, it's all right, 00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:19.579 Sarge. Final question. Final question. All right. 00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:25.800 I'm not going to give you any choices. So you're 00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:27.719 going to have to kind of remember it. Now, remember, 00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.400 this is the episode that won us an award. Fuck. 00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:35.059 Okay. This is the reason why we are an award 00:40:35.059 --> 00:40:36.679 -winning podcast. It's this episode right here 00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:41.619 on the Colu Pollock. All right. Okay. According 00:40:41.619 --> 00:40:42.960 to... You don't remember this episode at all, 00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:55.079 do you? Your face. All right, so... The thing 00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:57.960 is, I don't remember names of anything. That's 00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:00.960 fine. According to Inuit folklore, the Kalapalak 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:03.599 lures children to the water's edge. What unique 00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:06.019 feature helps it sneak up without being detected? 00:41:09.940 --> 00:41:13.059 Now, if you need a lifeline, I will give you 00:41:13.059 --> 00:41:18.280 the multiple choice. Oh, yeah. No, I'm going 00:41:18.280 --> 00:41:20.900 to need a lifeline on this one. I'd fuck it up 00:41:20.900 --> 00:41:24.719 otherwise. A. Its skin blends perfectly with 00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:27.940 sea ice, making it nearly invisible. B. It moves 00:41:27.940 --> 00:41:30.099 completely silently, leaving no ripples in the 00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:33.380 water. C. It hums a song that hypnotizes children 00:41:33.380 --> 00:41:36.840 into following it. D. It can breathe both above 00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:41.800 and below water, stalking from either side. B. 00:41:48.780 --> 00:41:52.980 I'm a ride or die on B. You're right on B? Yep. 00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:01.239 Balls. To be fair, this was kind of a trick question. 00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:04.500 But also not really because you had a 50 -50 00:42:04.500 --> 00:42:09.920 shot. It was A and C. How did I fuck up that 00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:13.860 bad? A and C. I really thought it was, well, 00:42:14.059 --> 00:42:16.179 I mean. You could have gotten. I really thought 00:42:16.179 --> 00:42:18.039 it was B. You could have gotten. I was hardcore 00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:23.150 on B. You could have gotten. 50 -50, man. You 00:42:23.150 --> 00:42:24.829 could have gotten... I don't know how you did 00:42:24.829 --> 00:42:28.289 that. You chose so wrong. Hold on, what was B 00:42:28.289 --> 00:42:31.610 again? B was it moves completely silently leaving 00:42:31.610 --> 00:42:37.190 no ripples in the water. Yeah, no. I'm still 00:42:37.190 --> 00:42:42.690 wrong. I didn't shed any light on it. I don't 00:42:42.690 --> 00:42:44.230 know if for some reason I thought that. I don't 00:42:44.230 --> 00:42:46.329 know why I thought that. Oh, you're good. um 00:42:46.329 --> 00:42:49.030 except my winning record though i at least got 00:42:49.030 --> 00:42:51.210 more right than i did wrong this is true the 00:42:51.210 --> 00:42:54.630 uh the one thing i will say is that uh you should 00:42:54.630 --> 00:42:56.869 remember the kalu palak episode you should remember 00:42:56.869 --> 00:42:58.090 because that was the one where i kept trying 00:42:58.090 --> 00:43:01.409 to post reels about it and tiktoks and it kept 00:43:01.409 --> 00:43:03.090 getting banned because we were talking about 00:43:03.090 --> 00:43:06.809 how uh andrew tate tough guy macho men should 00:43:06.809 --> 00:43:09.010 listen to the song and follow them to the ocean 00:43:10.509 --> 00:43:12.150 I don't know if you remember that at all. To 00:43:12.150 --> 00:43:14.610 be fair, literally every episode, there's at 00:43:14.610 --> 00:43:17.050 least one reel that gets banned. That's true. 00:43:18.869 --> 00:43:24.710 I get content strikes almost constantly on TikTok. 00:43:24.909 --> 00:43:26.369 I don't know why. We don't say anything that 00:43:26.369 --> 00:43:28.230 crazy. You send it to me on a Monday, and I'm 00:43:28.230 --> 00:43:30.210 checking emails and getting ready for the day, 00:43:30.289 --> 00:43:32.170 and then I see a reel pop up, and by the time 00:43:32.170 --> 00:43:34.329 I click on it, I'm like, oh, nope, already gone. 00:43:34.789 --> 00:43:37.449 Yeah, I don't know what's going on. All right. 00:43:38.230 --> 00:43:41.550 Well, there you have it. Quizzed cocktail party. 00:43:42.010 --> 00:43:44.929 I think we did pretty good. I did so much better 00:43:44.929 --> 00:43:47.869 than I thought I would. I'm so relieved. I don't 00:43:47.869 --> 00:43:49.210 know if people are going to like this episode. 00:43:49.369 --> 00:43:50.969 I did this mostly for us just because I thought 00:43:50.969 --> 00:43:53.690 it was really funny. It is super funny. It's 00:43:53.690 --> 00:43:57.769 really fun. Super fun. Yeah, but if anyone was 00:43:57.769 --> 00:44:00.730 playing along, let us know how you did. You know, 00:44:00.750 --> 00:44:02.190 if you were actually playing the drinking game. 00:44:02.969 --> 00:44:04.530 Let us know how drunk you got. I don't think 00:44:04.530 --> 00:44:06.969 you did. Yeah, send us drunk texts. I'm okay 00:44:06.969 --> 00:44:08.650 with it. You did really well, so I don't know 00:44:08.650 --> 00:44:10.610 if anyone even got a chance to drink, really. 00:44:11.969 --> 00:44:15.530 But yeah, there you go. How are you feeling, 00:44:15.550 --> 00:44:19.150 Sarge? I put you on the spot so fucking hard. 00:44:20.369 --> 00:44:22.809 But it was so much fun. Do it again next year. 00:44:22.909 --> 00:44:24.969 Let's do it again. All right. We'll do it once 00:44:24.969 --> 00:44:27.670 a year, and then we'll do it for the episodes 00:44:27.670 --> 00:44:31.369 of that year. Yeah, we'll do it. We'll do it 00:44:31.369 --> 00:44:36.550 every episode after Labor Day. Yeah, you know 00:44:36.550 --> 00:44:38.809 what? I think that's good. I love it. I think 00:44:38.809 --> 00:44:41.550 that's fun. Yeah, this was so much fun. It was 00:44:41.550 --> 00:44:43.190 a good episode to come back from a break from. 00:44:43.309 --> 00:44:46.829 Just a little lighthearted, something fun. Just 00:44:46.829 --> 00:44:49.289 a little torture. And the good news is I won't 00:44:49.289 --> 00:44:51.309 remember. So you're going to surprise me again. 00:44:51.469 --> 00:44:52.989 The best thing, too, is that I could probably 00:44:52.989 --> 00:44:57.250 do this exact same test next year. Oh, yeah. 00:44:57.670 --> 00:45:00.619 100%. I would probably get way more wrong at 00:45:00.619 --> 00:45:05.559 that point. The only one I was like, there were 00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:07.579 a couple that I was just a hundred percent like 00:45:07.579 --> 00:45:11.980 the baby seal one. I knew that hands down. And 00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:14.519 the fighting petunias was probably one of my 00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:17.659 favorite things that we ever came up with. Yeah. 00:45:17.699 --> 00:45:21.039 Cause those are some of our best episodes. Yeah. 00:45:21.300 --> 00:45:24.659 I still want the sports jersey that says Fighting 00:45:24.659 --> 00:45:27.519 Petunias. Yeah. I mean, I also like the Murfreesboro 00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:30.119 Mud Monster jerseys, I think. Yeah, that was 00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.639 a good one. That was good. That was a good one. 00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:35.039 All right, champion. All right. We did good. 00:45:36.219 --> 00:45:41.460 Everybody, I love you. And, you know, goodbye. 00:45:43.340 --> 00:45:48.289 We're not done yet. I don't know. I thought you 00:45:48.289 --> 00:45:50.449 were signaling me to just get it over with. No, 00:45:50.510 --> 00:45:53.889 I was going to say, Sarge, as always, is there 00:45:53.889 --> 00:45:55.130 anything you want to plug? Anything about the 00:45:55.130 --> 00:45:57.409 episode that people are listening to know? Yeah. 00:45:57.829 --> 00:46:00.889 I am sorry that America is a fucking nightmare 00:46:00.889 --> 00:46:03.570 right now, and I feel like my coloring book has 00:46:03.570 --> 00:46:05.250 attributed to it, but you can still download 00:46:05.250 --> 00:46:08.269 it.
