Speaker 1Something like that.
Speaker 3So what we're doing today is we're doing a year in Memoria Of the loody. Yeah, we're going to go back. We're going to look at the topics that we looked over in 2023 and we're going to write them on. If we still think that topic is cool over, think it's stupid, or if we don't want to say anything.
Speaker 2Or if we think we did a good episode.
Speaker 4Yes, I'm going to yeah that one.
Speaker 2I think we should also consider being like because somebody asked the question not that long ago, like are we at the point now where we can start redoing topics?
Speaker 4No, no, I don't think so. Yet there's so much stuff on the internet.
Speaker 3Why would we do a?
Speaker 4topic so much stuff on the internet, but to be fair, there's stuff that's been updated and, yeah, I would cover some of the shit I would say I wouldn't know.
Speaker 3I don't know about redoing stuff, but going back to the things that had the add-ons like revisiting, yeah, revisiting.
Speaker 4I don't know about redoing, oh, you mean like, completely, like if we wanted to go back and re-record our I wouldn't read strange dreams.
Speaker 3I wouldn't redo having strange dreams that is dead in the water, where it's at that was very well.
Speaker 4The fucking heavy are you having? Strange dreams with a new QR code have been popping up in cities again.
Speaker 3Okay, whatever.
Speaker 4Okay.
Speaker 3Oh gosh hat man, oh no, every man. It's every man, whatever his name is.
Speaker 2I don't know. There are some things that maybe like or the this man. That's what it is, this man maybe like weren't done as deeply as they could have been the first time.
Speaker 3Oh, absolutely not, Especially when I come into play and it's like Mike, it's time for you to talk about your thing, and I'm like well, you see, there was a man in this video. Well, you see, and he talks, and that covers my portion, while you're like scarfing down dinner because you just got home.
Speaker 1Yeah pretty much is what happened right now oh.
Speaker 3God, I missed the days where I just nom on some cold fish. I should do that again. I do have popcorn.
Speaker 2You should do that again, doug. Start vaping again, jason. Yeah, start punching the table.
Speaker 4You just get excited and start getting shit.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, I mean honestly not a lot has changed, so what we're going to do is we're starting all the way back on. This is Unpoody.
Speaker 4No, this is not even like.
Speaker 3The game is red. The first episode of last year wasn't even an actual Deloody episode. It was unplanned and and Deloody crossover.
Speaker 2Yeah, so it was me, you and Chris, and we were doing like we were like. Am I an asshole?
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, am I the assholes and honestly love those. I would do more of those if I could. Those are pretty fun.
Speaker 4Those are growing on me Like the weird ass, like Reddit rabbit holes you find, or even just answering if people are assholes or not.
Speaker 2The issue with that subreddit is like a lot of the topics that you get when you sort by like most upvoted or whatever, are very, very heavily in one way or the other. Right, it's very difficult to find things on this subreddit that it's like up to interpretation.
Speaker 4Like an actual debate, like an actual good debate, not just a fucking one-sided beat down. Am I the asshole for stabbing my cat Right?
Speaker 2Half the time it's like my husband punches me in the face three times a day and then, like, sends our kids out back to mind mud. Am I the asshole for leaving?
Speaker 4him. Am I the asshole?
Speaker 3Right, am I the asshole for giving him a cold dinner once?
Speaker 4Yes, and all the answers are yes, but my husband says that it's just teaching us discipline Am.
Speaker 1I the asshole.
Speaker 3Yes, no, yeah, it's hard to find. When you find the good ones, it's pretty fun.
Speaker 4Those are fun. I will say we do put a lot of disclaimers in our content saying that like don't follow our advice.
Speaker 1Never listen to us.
Speaker 4I do want to point that out, but I also have a ton of fun with you guys doing just. This is what we might do.
Speaker 2The Wyoming incident is the next one.
Speaker 3Yes, now here is one that I don't fully remember, oh this one?
Speaker 4wasn't this one similar to a fucking?
Speaker 3what is the max CIA one? The no, the in like South America the fake one the fake S one syndrome like the Havana syndrome.
Speaker 4Havana syndrome, yeah, this reminds me of that. What does our fucking thing say about this?
Speaker 3This is great content. I know right, we can't even remember the fucking topics. No, I remember it being it's a whole thing about like the sound that was blasted around Wyoming County and it caused knowledge.
Speaker 4It was a broadcast, it was a hijacking.
Speaker 2It was basically like Max Headroom.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2People distress. Oh, my God, this is like a classic, like early unfiction analog whore thing. It's super duper short. I was more excited about it before going into it than I ended up being after we did it.
Speaker 4I thought it was fairly forgettable. It's like when you read the, like the back cover of a book and you're like, oh, holy fuck, and then you get like 20 pages in. It's just like mm. Yeah.
Speaker 2Nope, not even, or, in this case, like five videos that are very short.
Speaker 3But you know it'd be what it do, what it do what it be. I'm so glad that we covered it, because I enjoy the short ones, because then don't have to do as much work.
Speaker 4Absolutely Done in 20 minutes instead of two hours.
Speaker 3To me, like the short ones, like the Wyoming incidents and things like that aren't covered as often as like your big hitters that you find.
Speaker 2The Wyoming incident is like a big deal, though Like it literally makes an appearance in the history of analog whore thing.
Speaker 4Okay, I'm wrong. Yeah, you're fucking wrong, whatever.
Speaker 3Okay, and that's okay. So the next episode was a Cthulhu corner.
Speaker 4It was hell yeah, oh yeah, this was Yig the snake Big. God Don't I'm. It's not fair if I talk about this one.
Speaker 3No, it was pretty great for me because I get to do nothing for these except just.
Speaker 2I literally almost said I wasn't on this one, and but it literally says in the description that I am, so I barely remember this.
Speaker 4You just own that one. I remember you and Mike talking about snakes with human faces and Mike just losing his goddamn mind for a while.
Speaker 1It's fun.
Speaker 3And you know, I just imagine a nice little.
Speaker 2I definitely didn't write this, yes.
Speaker 3Are you sure about that Snakes with human faces? This is my. It starts off like a Star Wars crawl.
Speaker 4This is a Jason description for sure, snakes with human faces.
Speaker 3Yeah, it starts off like a Star Wars crawl.
Speaker 1Snakes with human faces the Empire strikes again.
Speaker 4The Trade Federation has an embargo on the plan of. Naboo, I want to know how many episodes we've talked about the scrolling title from episode one.
Speaker 3That's what I want to know, because it's so bad. It's so bad, oh well, and there's one that just starts. I think it's the second one. It's just like War, okay.
Speaker 4You just said the second word in the two word title you have. Yeah, I figured that was happening.
Speaker 3Yeah, this is called Star Wars. I wasn't expecting peace, Like we're in the middle of a giant star having a big war.
Speaker 4Dulce Base part one. I loved the. You gizzed yourself over these.
Speaker 3I am very happy that we this gets a stupid amount of views on YouTube. And a stupid amount of hate on YouTube.
Speaker 2Yeah, people really hate this video.
Speaker 3Turns out, when you cover aliens, you get a certain part of the internet commenting on your stuff.
Speaker 2You get unstable people with opinions.
Speaker 1Yes, and it turns out they don't appreciate it.
Speaker 3when you say one thing wrong about aliens, they call you a clown.
Speaker 4I'm really hurt by that one they say that you're stupid.
Speaker 3And you fuck you is all I gotta say. Yeah Is fuck you. You ask You're talking about aliens. It's all Nothing matters, it's aliens. It could all be real or not. This is what I do with that.
Speaker 4Whenever I see people that just fucking rage against us for getting just something wrong and I truly believe that it's something.
Speaker 2About these very actual topics. Yes, it's something they're passionate about. They have spent so much time researching it.
Speaker 4Think of something that's really really, really important. Think of something that, like Godzilla, let's talk about. Fuck you. You know so much about Godzilla.
Speaker 3I know a moderate amount.
Speaker 4Oh, that made people. That floors me Because, oh yeah, they're like actually he's pronounced and he's like fuck you. We'll get there, we'll get there. Yeah, we got plenty of time to get there. I don't care. He's like I care, I don't, but no, dulce base, dulce base. One and two. It's you, parker. What do you guys like? Do you guys remember doing that?
Speaker 3Yeah, I remember it, I remember it pretty vividly.
Speaker 4I remember the second part, but there was like a. I had a blackout for like 10 minutes at the beginning of it and then the rest I I just totally enjoyed it.
Speaker 3There's something about like I don't really care about covering like UFOs, like alien, like UFO abduction stories, but I love the weird shit Like there's a whole underground city full of aliens, that shit is super fun Abduction stories and that's where the flu came from. Yeah, they're all, they're boring. I don't care about that. I'm building full apartment complex full of aliens. Sign me right up, alien, because it just it's more out there.
Speaker 4It's the bureaucracy, like if it's so UFO sighting right, it's like out there Everyone sees it. There has to be a fucking paper trail about it. That's why nobody wants to talk about that shit, because you have to talk about the bureaucratic chain of command If you're talking about secret bunkers. There's no paperwork.
Speaker 3With this one. One of the parts I remember the most is like how people in like the town of Dulce would like see these like lumber trucks. Quote unquote lumber trucks and whatnot from this company come through. If you go to this company's website you can see that's just some like generic like it was like lumber ink.
Speaker 2You can tell the topics that excited, mike.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's like you go to these websites and they're just like websites where it's just like our future is your future and we're making energy so your energy is more energy efficient, and it's just a bunch of gobbledygook. And that's the shit I love, because it's like oh, this has like somewhat of a real world connection. That is super fun and it just makes the more outlandish nonsense stuff more fun.
Speaker 2I agree I wasn't on this episode and I didn't edit it. I just put the video on it, so it should be perfectly honest with you guys. I haven't even listened to this, wow.
Speaker 3And you call yourself.
Speaker 2I have just seen the YouTube fall out from it, though I mean that makes me feel like I was there. My favorite thing that comes of those is like when people like find them because they have the most views on YouTube and then when we start uploading other shit, they're like I thought this was a conspiracy theory podcast.
Speaker 4Why? Why did you think that?
Speaker 3Do you not see the one that says Deloody plays you, idiot? We play a video game and the worst part is, it's not even my gameplay, but it's my camera.
Speaker 2It's very confusing.
Speaker 3We did that so bad.
Speaker 4Holy shit, that's funny.
Speaker 2All right the next one. Anora Petrova.
Speaker 3Anora Petrova, this is one of yours.
Speaker 4This is your recommendation yes, this was the Wikipedia.
Speaker 2Yeah, and she edits it and things happen yeah.
Speaker 4She tells her what's going? To happen. I liked that one and then she tried to change it and then it ended up fucking killing her or some shit like that. Yeah, that was a good one. That was creepy. I enjoyed that one.
Speaker 3Again, it's got that real world connection of Wikipedia. I enjoy it. What was that one that we covered relatively recently? Whereas the guy having a conversation on the edits in Wikipedia.
Speaker 2Like the soccer thing, yeah I love that because it's got real world connections.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3It's got real world connections and I appreciate that it's fake, obviously.
Speaker 1but in a fun way.
Speaker 3Who thinks of editing Wikipedia articles to form a thing?
Speaker 1That's just so fun.
Speaker 2Yeah, basically the same idea as writing into a book and making things happen.
Speaker 3No.
Speaker 4Okay, he's not going to give this to you, man, that's fun, that's fun.
Speaker 3Everyone can write a book. Not everyone can edit a.
Speaker 4Wikipedia page. You need to be an admin for that.
Speaker 3Yeah, god.
Speaker 2Has anybody ever tried adding a name to the list of people that died in a year that didn't?
Speaker 1actually die. That's no yeah.
Speaker 4See if the.
Speaker 2Wikipedia page. No Death pages are definite.
Speaker 4Yes.
Speaker 1Ooh but my name.
Speaker 4That's a really dark experiment to do.
Speaker 3I have life insurance. I can't die legally or I just sue the government. It's fine.
Speaker 4I do want to say one thing. I think this was just because I'm looking at our page with our links on it. I think this was right around the time that we helped out with the Memorial for Zane, you guys remember.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 2That was definitely February, because that was February Okay. February was the month that we donated everything. That's right yeah, which I meant to bring up. Should we make February the Ludi donation?
Speaker 1month. Yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2Pick a charity every year and do something in. February.
Speaker 1We could.
Speaker 2I'm game for that.
Speaker 4We could, we could. I'm scared though.
Speaker 3I'm not spending the money. I don't care. It's there. All of our money is in a shell account and we'll never tell you what you are.
Speaker 4I'm gaming. It's for offshore baking account For Wolf Cola. Yeah what.
Speaker 2All right, we got a lot of these. We got to get through.
Speaker 4We have so many, let's get what's next. All right, what we got next on our list? Chatchee's.
Speaker 2Pee is our producer. It was the next one I fucking loved that one that was so much fun.
Speaker 4So much fun. We got a text the other day asking to do more of it. Yeah, yeah, we did.
Speaker 3It was so fucking fun We've been asked to do that again multiple times.
Speaker 2Hell yeah, and you know what? Chatgpt has only gotten more sophisticated, it's actually gotten worse apparently because they've been trying to dumb it down to try to like keep it from doing things it really shouldn't do, and so my understanding is that it's a lot, that it's responses are a lot more basic than they used to be.
Speaker 3Well, that's which is unsurprising. Yeah, well, that's why we have the three laws of robotics, so just be on the same side.
Speaker 1I love you, chatgpt.
Speaker 3Don't attack me.
Speaker 4Don't attack me. Don't attack me, don't attack me, don't be racist. Don't be racist yeah.
Speaker 3I don't remember the three laws of robotics.
Speaker 1Drinking up water.
Speaker 3Isn't it supposed to like prevent it from destroying humanity, or something?
Speaker 2I don't fucking know. The Dottelsten messages or the Dottelsten messages, as I've heard it pronounced.
Speaker 3This is another one of yours, I believe. Right the Dottelsten messages.
Speaker 4Yeah, this one with this. Actually, I think this was right around the time where I just started fucking taking over like content. Hey, I hear, here's the outlines. Just fucking pick your shit, go which one was that again. Dottelsten messages was the BBC micro Old computer.
Speaker 1Old computer.
Speaker 2Old computer.
Speaker 3That's right, and the Dottelsten is what got us in better contact with Ghoulish Mortals who became good friends of the show.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2And their podcast, the Midnight Decillery podcast, that's one where it was like I had one.
Speaker 3Yeah, it was really cool.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I watched it.
Speaker 3They did a pumpkin episode around Halloween, I believe and it was really fun and entertaining, so go check that out everybody.
Speaker 4Fucking do it, do it. It was a fun one.
Speaker 2The next one is Glitch and the Matrix. We called this one 99 and a half, and then this is the weekend that I was there in my basement, and we got way too fucking drunk.
Speaker 4Just way too drunk. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 3We tried doing an episode and it did this one. We did the SCP versus cryptids.
Speaker 2Yeah, we threw away a whole episode of that.
Speaker 3Yeah, because we do too drunk.
Speaker 2Way too drunk, yeah too drunk. Too drunk for Ludi.
Speaker 3We saw almost referee in episode in.
Speaker 2Yeah. Boy that didn't go as well as we thought it would. It sounded kind of funny at the time and then we realized it was like an hour of just like a very cyclical conversation that went nowhere.
Speaker 4Because we didn't realize we were already having it.
Speaker 2I don't have much else to say about that episode to be, honest, nope.
Speaker 4I think that's all that needs to be said about that one.
Speaker 3You were here, so it was special for me, yeah.
Speaker 4Oh God, oh God, just saw what's coming up.
Speaker 2Yeah, Q&A and.
Speaker 4I hope we can skip that. Fireside, I mean it was a bit of a joke. What's next, Matt?
Speaker 2If you want more of those, you can go to our Patreon website and then the next well with us with the pause in between is Ash Vlogs. All the Ash Vlogs Vlogging with Ashley One, two, three four Vlogging with Ashley, yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, guess, who has two thumbs and never wants to even hear the words Ash Vlog again.
Speaker 4Yeah, I have.
Speaker 2PTSD from this Done.
Speaker 4I was so disappointed with like because I never knew the end of it, because I didn't want to go through the whole fucking thing when I first found it, way back when.
Speaker 3Hey guys, it's me.
Speaker 4Nope.
Speaker 2Nope, that's the wrong one. Is that still on the soundboard? Was that Bigfoot?
Speaker 4I think so Did I, or did I get rid of it?
Speaker 1Hey guys, welcome to another Ash Vlogging.
Speaker 4Time show Never went anywhere. All the best things in the world, Just in case you needed PTSD. Yeah, I loved that series. I hated that. The fucking. What are their names? Michael and oh, the guys who?
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 4Philip Poozy. They went to go make that movie. They made that movie.
Speaker 3Talk to the Hand.
Speaker 4Yeah, or something like that Just.
Speaker 3Talk to Me by Clark.
Speaker 1Talk to Me by Clark Talk to Me, that's right.
Speaker 4Yeah, they went and made that and they just completely just fucking, we're just done.
Speaker 2I think this had become unwieldy though.
Speaker 4It really did. It got game jacked.
Speaker 2It was an attempt to tie any of this up.
Speaker 3Yeah, it got too big for their verbal britches. Yeah.
Speaker 2I hated this. I just hated it the first episode and maybe the second one were okay. It starts off okay. I think we've aired our grievances about this a lot.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Particularly trying to do this at the same time that we were doing SCP vs Cryptid and doing like it was way too much yeah.
Speaker 4Way too much.
Speaker 2This is not a fun time of the year.
Speaker 4I will say the next several after this, though, were some of my favorites from last year. Yeah, so what's the next one? Next one we did this one might. Bethis one's in my top five, I think, but Ringu.
Speaker 3Yes, fuck, yes, oh the ones I wasn't there. For what if the Beatles never broke up? Dang baby, how come you had to be born during the Ringu Beatles episode? I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2Mike, honestly I'm surprised you left after Ash Vlogs and decided to come back.
Speaker 4Seriously, we are all surprised you came back after Ash Vlogs.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think I did. There's two funny things to this. One this is when I had my child with this episode by my beautiful baby girl, amelia, and I had a month off. Felt fantastic, not gonna lie. Felt great not having to worry about something every week, yep. Two, these episodes are some of our top doing ones, so it says a lot about me and the quality I bring to the business.
Speaker 2The reels about you not being on the podcast are also some of our most viewed reels. Yeah, I think we should explore this dynamic more.
Speaker 4Keep Mike away and like dangle carrots.
Speaker 3Let him do that. Let him record those carrots in my basement. Yes, Exactly.
Speaker 4What's the next?
Speaker 2one. Oh yes, what if the Beatles never broke up? Did we like that? I think it was fun. These are so much fun.
Speaker 3These are like four, by the way, I have never listened to, I have not had the time there are videos of you listening to them, no other than I caught that, those bits. I started listening, I heard that, and then my ADHD took over and I went on to something else, that's right and never finished any of the episodes.
Speaker 2I don't listen to the podcast when I'm not on it and don't have to edit it.
Speaker 1So that's why there you go, yep.
Speaker 2Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4I want to find more like this, where it's just like some random dude made a page and like it's just giving information.
Speaker 3Yeah, it seems fun.
Speaker 2Yeah, smilejpg and Jeff the killer. This episode was okay it was okay.
Speaker 4I think I hate Jeff the killer.
Speaker 2I fucking hate Jeff the killer. Yeah, I don't like the online community. That is the Jeff the killer like fandom. I don't even know what it is. It's just different. I guess it's part of the problem.
Speaker 3But no, I mean, I don't even know what Jeff the killer is.
Speaker 2The Jeff the killer is like that picture of the guy that has no nose and his white, super white face.
Speaker 3Oh, is that supposed to be a person?
Speaker 2It's in like a bunch of old jump scare games.
Speaker 1He's a serial killer.
Speaker 3Oh, it's a whole story.
Speaker 4It's a creepypasta. Oh, the creepypasta ones for me are hit or miss, I think.
Speaker 3I would agree. I think if it's a creepypasta, it's got to have enough like world build to it in order for it to be good it can't just be like and also not be a long ass.
Speaker 4People like fucking novella.
Speaker 3It can't just be like he's a killer tomato. I grew it in my backyard and it stabbed me.
Speaker 2Yeah, I had to send him backstory to it. A lot of creepypastas haven't aged well, no, no. And this is definitely an example of that?
Speaker 4Yeah, it's. I mean it is a testament to how horror stories on the internet are evolving, but I mean also it's bad.
Speaker 2Also. In my opinion, it's just bad. The next one was Yoggzothoth. I wasn't on that either. That was just Jason. Yeah, that was.
Speaker 4Doug and I literally just jerking each other off about Cthulhu, like that's. We were just nerding the fuck out about Yoggzothoth, yoggzothosh. I again, I love these episodes just because I love the Cthulhu mythos and everything that comes along with them, aside from the racism. But yeah, we can move on from there.
Speaker 3I love it all, especially the Ours is quoting Jason oh yeah, that's right.
Discussion on Various Podcast Episodes
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah, go ahead, continue. Next one this one was this one. I've actually heard from people that like that I work with and just a couple people that I know that they've listened to this one and they really, really fucking enjoyed this one the Harpins experiment, wasn't this?
Speaker 2didn't we do like partial audio drama for this? Yeah?
Speaker 4we I've like pre-recorded the the, the actual audio drama part, so it was like us talking around it and then just listening to the story. Mm-hmm, what's? What's the Harpins? That was the one about the underground bunker where they like depraved. It was like the Russian sleep experiment times five.
Speaker 2They like deprive people of stimuli and then they're like fucking, what nutty.
Speaker 4Hmm, and then yeah, essentially just killed everyone in the bunker, and yeah, and it was like I'm the only person who's still alive.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 4The standard creepypasta fashion. Yeah, that's all right. Yeah, that one was a fun one. I like the ones that are that you can actually turn into like a Listenable audio drama, like style of it. I think that lends something to it. But if it's just a simple like yeah, he's had the caver, that dude, that's another great one and that's that's a depth as well. But yeah, I liked the the Harbinger experiment. That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3Yeah oh, I guess I can go. Yeah, you could read with your eye, I mean, there's still ones you weren't on.
Speaker 2Oh, that's true. I can still read it. Okay, read it, mike, do it.
Speaker 3You ask questions. You're on a dot com.
Speaker 2Yeah, this was fun. This was so much these next two episodes are my favorite ones. We did this here easily, oh oh.
Speaker 4Hey, man, we could probably go back to both of them honestly, we could just find stuff on them. Yeah, we'll just call it like a. The Ludi trolls the worst parts of the internet.
Speaker 3So what was paranoid part? Paranoia doc.
Speaker 2I know, it was like a Disney thing both this and the next episode Are just two places on the internet that were like early like late 90s, early 2000s internet, where people just set up web servers like in their house or whatever, and we're like literally put whatever the fuck you want here, yep, and people just signed up for accounts on this web server and just made pages and it was just whatever. A lot of it was porn, a Lot of it was drugs, just crazy conspiracy theory shit. There was definitely a lot of drugs.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh yeah drug making Instructions.
Speaker 2People Using about their experiences doing drugs.
Speaker 4Yep, and this all tied and it's owned by Disney. That was the reason we did the whole thing.
Speaker 2Yeah, paranoiacom is like Disney owns that now. Now, if you go to paranoiacom, I think it just takes you to Disneycom.
Speaker 4Yeah, there's like Disney plus or something like that weird yeah what the next one?
Speaker 2It's a little like time was the same thing.
Speaker 4Exact same thing, just it was does it take you to Disney as well? No, this one, this one was, this one was.
Speaker 2It was a little weirder, I think like, yeah, it got a little bit closer to. There was definitely a legal content on here.
Speaker 4Yeah, oh, hundred percent. Yeah, hundred percent I didn't feel great looking through.
Speaker 2Yeah, paranoiacom was more fun. This one, this one. It's like they tried to just get the worst of the worst, like yeah, there's an erotica section that just has the worst shit.
Speaker 4Oh my god, I fucking forgot now how they tell you how to like have sex with slugs and shit.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah I forgot about all of that.
Speaker 4Oh it's crazy.
Speaker 3What's this website called again? I Just so I know, to avoid it and some of the screaming electron yeah. I'll never go there.
Speaker 4After this, we got some more reddit mysteries. I don't remember which ones we did. On this. Mike was back. Mike was back for this one, though. Mike was back for this one, though, and. I got toes to scrumbles said that this episode was fire.
Speaker 3The boy wonder himself is back. I am, boy wonder. Oh, this is me.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, this is where we shared a mic and it was terrible because it was hot.
Speaker 3Yeah, fuck up there two stories about light bulbs. This is the that, this is the one with them. Oh, this is not the lamp story. Not, the lamp story was the one, me, you and Chris did it's the one where the guy Wasn't happily married in this one. No, this is the one where the the guy and his wife get an argument, because one sees that the lamp is on, the light is on the other. Oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah the one, I think, is there in like a diner and all the light.
Speaker 2They're like a Taco Bell or something and the light goes out and nobody, nobody acknowledges no I yeah yeah.
Speaker 4And then it was all normal. Yeah, this was like a heavy glitch in the matrix.
Speaker 3I enjoyed these.
Speaker 4Ready good.
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, I enjoy a good light bulb story. I have light bulbs. You have at least three down here. Yeah, I can show you some if you want later. Yeah, I have the time. Yeah, um, up next. Yes, we have two. That we're fun. We covered. Don't hug me, I'm scared part one and part two.
Speaker 2These episodes did really well too. They were fun to do.
Speaker 3I like the thumbnail that you made for those the thumbnails were.
Speaker 4I was so fucking impressed when I saw those.
Speaker 2Wow, great, all your To get them now, hell yeah.
Speaker 3That was your quota for the dude. You hit it.
Speaker 2Good job I thought the first episode was more fun than the second episode. I didn't think the TV show was. If the TV show didn't capture the charm of the web series the same, the way that I had hoped, I think.
Speaker 3Yeah, I feel like it went from like a creative, like YouTube channel, to, oh, we have to do this now because they gave a corporation, gave us a lot of money, you know that I went from. It went from them just doing their artistic Thing to because you adult swim, gave us 50 million dollars.
Speaker 4It's make some weird shit Because it's on their time, now that you're, you've got someone, be like nope, you have to make you've also got more time to fill up and you have to make it somewhat coherent.
Speaker 2Yeah, like it was not to say the web series isn't coherent, like there's stuff in the web series that makes sense but Most of it is just four minutes of like.
Speaker 3What's happening. Yeah disturbing content. My dad's a computer.
Speaker 4No, yeah, I, an old man died. But look a computer. I fucking love the the don't hug me, I'm scared episodes. I loved both the web series and the TV series. I've tried to get Kelly to watch the TV series and she's just won't fucking do it and I can't really blame her there. I Think the first one I enjoyed just a bit more, simply because I know at least you and I, mike, have a An intimate relationship with a couple of those songs.
Speaker 3I have an intimate relationship with a bottle yes, and those computer. Very guy. That's definitely a drinking game, fun one, lots, lots of drinking.
Speaker 4It's a good one. The time one was good, but you don't remember drink every time.
Speaker 3He says time.
Speaker 4Oh, oh, oh oh yeah. There's the don't hug me the next one is Mike can't read.
Speaker 2We'll skip over that one. Oh yeah, we all knew that?
Speaker 3Oh, it's my Mike my comic reviews.
Speaker 2Yeah, Good job Mike.
Speaker 3Thanks, we need to fill space.
Speaker 2Yeah, we did. We, mike saved us from not uploading that week. Basically, is what happened?
Speaker 3Yeah, that's exactly what happens and I filled it with Recommendations for things that people. Someone did listen. My recommendation one of Laurie's friends that listen to the show about the pumpkin head comic Hell yeah, I won't. I won't name her because I don't want to. I don't want to give out names without people's permissions.
Speaker 4You don't like doxing people?
Speaker 1No okay, thanks, jonathan, mrs Jonathan. The next one is liminal land.
Speaker 2This is one of the only other episodes this year, besides the Godzilla one and the Dulce based one, that have down votes on YouTube because we hit. I, in particular, had very strong opinions about this.
Speaker 3This one I loved but didn't mm-hmm. I liked the concept but I think it was kind of botched a little bit.
Speaker 2I enjoyed the episode, because I think we this is One of the ones that we did this year that we really got more into like actually discussing what we thought about it which is just regurgitating right.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah and no, I. Overall as an episode I enjoyed, but as like a topic I could go. I can go with or without it. It's one of those where I love the premise, but again, with the names that are behind it, I expected more.
Speaker 4Yeah that's, and that was the big thing. I think like some of the imagery that I saw was really fucking cool. A couple of the, the generated images of the rides, like they were creepy as shit and they like they had the atmosphere for me.
Speaker 3But that was it outside with me was like they, they, you're the again, these big names. No, it's just why would you use AI generated art for everything?
Speaker 2Yeah, like, yeah, so obviously yeah, at least commissioned something yeah. I don't know creator you like. You know how hard we had our issues with this and I think a lot of people who are really big fans of next bow Took issue with the fact that we took issue with it. Yeah, what yeah, what are you gonna do? The next one is Ted the caver, which was just an audio drama.
Speaker 4Yeah, I was, that was all dug, which I mean.
Speaker 2I listened to it. Yeah, it was fine. It was Ted. The caver read out loud the battle of eight can? This is another one I haven't listened to.
Speaker 3I enjoyed it. That's one of mine. I love the battle of eight Canyon it's. It's just silly nonsense about up, yeah, a war between like five dudes and a bunch of sasquatch.
Speaker 4Is this the one that where they were like in a, in like a house?
Speaker 3there in a cabinet. Turns out it was probably kids that were just throwing rocks.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah, I Enjoy that one, yeah, those are. I love the ones with like the really stupid fucking endings, like really like it was five children, yeah, five grown men thought it was a bunch of sasquatch.
Speaker 3Hey, you know the mind plays tricks on you when you're that old, in like the 1920s and in a canyon in a what's next?
Speaker 4the blind reading not me Blind maiden. Okay, yeah, that was the website.
Speaker 3Oh, this was one of like the early internet urban legends I. Could take her, leave this up.
Speaker 2Yeah, this one's barely even a creepypasta, it's literally just. It's this one's like a concept email.
Speaker 4Yeah, it's one of those horror like consequence emails that you get, like if you don't forward this to ten people.
Speaker 3Yeah, I need your help. I have so much money but I can't get it. Give me social. My now give you money.
Speaker 2I barely remember this episode and I the only thing I remember about this episode is my only Comment on it. Now is, I don't know how he made this a full hour. We probably could have done like ten of these in the span.
Speaker 4This one Well, probably oh, probably, but the looney's really good at stretching out Small amount of information, filling space with nothing talking about nothing.
Speaker 2Yep thinking of which the next one yeah speaking of, which is Mike and Matt's carnival of internet oddities. It was just you, me and Mike, and we just read some reddit stuff and this episode I think people actually enjoyed quite a bit. I thought from what I remember. Yeah, I enjoy the like, but I don't remember any of the topics we covered but you guys gave really bad health advice.
Speaker 4That doesn't help, okay, I.
Speaker 3Yeah, I like the reddit ones every time we go back to a reddit because it's just reddit could be, it could give you everything and anything yeah it's like sticking your hand in. Everything by everyone it's like sticking your hand in a box of your eyes closed and pulling out whatever's inside. You'd never know what you're gonna get. I could have used the life as a box of chocolate metaphor, but I didn't. Oh, what kind of boxes do you have?
Speaker 4Just go look over the bottom.
Speaker 3I don't fucking want to look under the stairs. Don't look under the stairs.
Speaker 2I do actually remember this one, because I remember that Mike came up with like a bunch of fun things that he thought was fun, like there was also a Godzilla thing in here, like a Godzilla in the ass game or other creepypasta. Yeah, and then, and then I was just like here's a bunch of people who posted on reddit before they murdered somebody.
Speaker 4Remember that. Oh man, that's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 3Here's a fake creepypasta. This guy saw the woman's foot off, oh, Anyway, we got the creature collection after this.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was something very, very, very amateur.
Speaker 4Yes, I that's. I think that's when we you tried having the idea of kind of helping prop up like up-and-coming energies and stuff with just simply by Doing an episode every once in a while about them and this. So the person that did this one is actually still in Contact with us. Yeah, I know she wants to do Something with her next project, but she's taking some notes from next or a night mind, apparently on creature collection and she's doing something with that.
Speaker 2So we'll figure it out, we'll have on notes on us. Huh, I think we covered it I think I would listen to night, mind, yeah.
Speaker 3I wouldn't listen Night, mind. If you're listening, don't Do, do but do but do but stop.
Speaker 2Your furry stuff makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 3You don't like his first Sona it's not that.
Speaker 2It's just like all the really erotic fur shit that he posts on Twitter.
Speaker 3He put yeah, puts on main yeah, not even his morning account, he's just.
Speaker 4My name in season three. This was the oh. No, this was not the Nixon verse.
Speaker 3This was the Dean Dino verse. No Dean of verse in the Nixon verse.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah, I'm. There were so many verses that we got from this is the Dean is the Dean verse.
Speaker 3You know, verse Dino. Yeah, Moni verse.
Speaker 4Dino spamoni yeah.
Speaker 3All right, um, I I always enjoyed me some, some body I meant with those kid, oh God yeah it's super fun, super good.
Speaker 2It is good. Yeah, it's high quality. That's kiss I.
Speaker 4Love the uh, the hot, the comment that we chose to put on this episode, which is nobody, literally nobody. Mike having a stroke in the middle of the episode ass turd, ass turd. God damn it. I did that, oh no, the internet doesn't lie, mike.
Speaker 2I wish I could see the Q&A's on Computer version. I don't think I can see him.
Speaker 3Oh you can't you can see it on there. I can't see it on my phone.
Speaker 2Oh well, fuck you. That's definitely something we should have been doing, though, is looking at the Q&A's that we've been publishing, because I only published ones that are Okay. I thought that one was funny, so I did publish it, but usually yep. Oh.
Speaker 4Yeah, it's great, I love. I love seeing which one you found because, like I read it usually it's pretty scathing and I'm like okay.
Speaker 3Next we have the the video game mini mystery.
Speaker 2Oh, this one did really poorly number wise very poorly.
Speaker 3Yeah, oh.
Speaker 2I wasn't it was. I was me, mike and Doug and we all picked like a and a small ARG that was related to video games. I Did steam sale one Mike did.
Speaker 4Obsession with monkeys.
Speaker 2Yeah, Mike. Mike did one about where I guess some developers of some old games like hid this story about dead monkeys and His story about how he bought he bought like 200 monkeys and they all died.
Speaker 3And then he had to find a way to bury them and hide them, and he ended up selling him his presence.
Speaker 1I'm giving away his Christmas presents, yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's wild, but okay, I Thought it was a decent episode. People didn't really listen to it, though.
Speaker 3I enjoyed it just cuz it's it was different. We don't really cover video game stuff all that often, so it's fun to do that.
Speaker 2The next one was the Nixon verse.
Speaker 4Yes this was a great one. I I love the next, the Nixon verse. I liked a lot and it was a fun little story.
Speaker 3Yeah, the next verse I think was one of my favorite ones is cuz I like, like the names from, like the names that they gave to the people oh, you mean like the Queen of Lunarians and like, yeah, and they had Fuck. What was his name?
Speaker 4last D-day night and all that stuff.
Speaker 3Yeah, last night of Alcatraz.
Speaker 4I also have to mention this is where we coined the term throwing the rug under the bus, which still fucking gets me and then. So here's the angry squirrel commented on this one, and it's literally just a bunch of random arrows. It's monument mythos. Lore be like.
Speaker 3It's just like yeah, I saw. Yeah, isn't it wrong at all? Not at all. The next one is the Mexican extraterrestrials from Peru. Are you sure?
Speaker 4cuz I'm pretty sure it's at the mountains of madness. This is a good one, I mean it's.
Speaker 3I enjoyed it, especially cuz I read this book and I was like I.
Speaker 4Get it. It's a hard story to like to understand all of, especially when he got, like Lovecraft, just goes on a fucking tangent to talk about map coordinates.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, I hate it. It's my favorite thing to do in the library. When you come across the Lovecraft section Just here, you play this at home flip open a random Lovecraft book to any random page. I guarantee you there's coordinates of a map on there. They're always fucking is who loves his maps.
Speaker 2He does nerd. He is a nerd. Mostly what I remember about this episode is Doug Getting really frustrated at me and Mike and at one point just going you didn't hear anything we said, did you?
Speaker 3Oh, cuz it was at the end or whatever. When they're trying to quiz us, yeah, there's some shit.
Speaker 4All right, oh yeah, we did the mythos quiz.
Speaker 3Yeah, and we were not paying any attention.
Speaker 4No, which we know it was literally two hours long and it like an hour and a half.
Speaker 2I was like I.
Speaker 3Don't have any more. I'm just here, so I don't get.
Speaker 2I can't really blame you on that one now. What's the next one, mike? Yeah, oh, can I say?
Speaker 3it. Yeah, I think the next one is the Mexican extra stools for Peru. What a title. This one was fine.
Speaker 2The Appease the algorithm.
Speaker 3Yes, yeah, we wanted to do more alien stuff to see what happens, and yeah, also, my favorite thing in the world is like, for the first, like five minutes, jason's like no one's talking about this. Not a single person's talking about this, when literally everyone in the universe was. Yeah exact same time. Hundred percent we. We actually missed the ball.
Speaker 2We have Because of the upload schedule. Yeah, so trying to be top doesn't work in our favor because no, probably what happens is, by the time we get around to uploading something that we is topical when we talk about it, the algorithm is actively trying to suppress more things about it about that.
Speaker 4Ooh, you know what? You're probably fucking right there, so fuck it, let's just not try it. No, you had to say to me it makes like I'm on board. That was a good one. I. I do like finding those real ones that we can kind of like.
Speaker 3I just don't, I don't really care to cover real World topics and I don't really care for this one personally.
Speaker 4There's. I have to find the right one. This was apparently the right one for me. I enjoyed it, but the world did not, so that's okay. This is the Wikipedia one.
Speaker 3Yes, I enjoyed this one a lot. Yeah it was different. It's fun, it's different.
Speaker 4It was fun. It was small and I like the little small ones, especially when all four of us can sit around and just like talk about it.
Speaker 3Yeah, I like the more conversational people yeah things that don't go super deep and super analytical. Yes, shoot the shit about it, oh yeah 100%.
Speaker 4I mean, I love doing like the, the in-depth analysis and all that, but though lately I've been having way more fun, just like.
Speaker 1So shit, paranoidcom, and yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3Yeah, we got an X, Moody, moody, moody. The next one is Super Mario 64 Classified.
Speaker 2Yeah, the description, the description of this X so it's just Every copy of Super Mario 64 is personalized. There's also a Q&A response to this one by Chris J that I really wanted to publish, but it's so long that I can't hit the publish button because Goes off the screen in the public.
Speaker 4I wonder if you can tab over to it like I.
Speaker 2Know, I doubt it breaks the fucking page.
Favorite Topics and Internet Mysteries
Speaker 3I Love this episode. I love everything about Just Greenio and his last days I just enjoy everything about. Like here's a haunted.

Speaker 3Yeah, this work. Yes, there's this. There's catastrophe crow that I liked, oh yeah catastrophe.
Speaker 4It was great, yeah, the the Super Mario 64 classified like the fucking library of Sprites and shit that they had to make for it. Mm-hmm, if you look up you can find, like on a on GitHub or something like that, you can find like the database of all the, all the shit that they had to do for this. It's so fucking much Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3They put so much work into that, and that's when you know you got a quality. Hell yeah, I guess, story on your hands, a cool these story.
Speaker 2I think the best. The person who made this also had, like I don't know, a patreon Maybe or something at some point where they posted a bunch of like behind the scenes development videos and I found some of them and we were researching this and Super cool.
Speaker 1I wish we could find more things like this oh.
Speaker 4Hell yeah.
Speaker 3I love seeing that shit. The next topic, however, is probably my favorite of the year.
Speaker 2I'm you like this one. We didn't get our lives around over this.
Speaker 3So the next one is south 32.com, and I fucking love this one it was great, this shit was so funny to me and baffling that it even exists and the person behind it. This is just so fucking fun. I think this was one of my topics.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 3It was and I am so goddamn happy I found it. Oh, just an old shitty man, yeah, ruining people's lives, and it's hilarious to me.
Speaker 4I just I want too hard on this one.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was not in a good mental place during this week and we had like an hour and a half long conversation before we even recorded this episode, where I was like I don't know if I want to do this guys. Yeah, I cannot mentally handle this guy like trying to ruin my life on the internet.
Speaker 3I can't do it for sure, oh yeah, and, and here we are.
Speaker 2Nothing. Yeah, fuck you whatever his name is.

Speaker 2Yeah, no critiques, just a good time. A lot more stories this year than last year.

Speaker 3Sure New podcast. Why the fuck not? Yeah new podcast hometown horrors the show.
Speaker 2Hometown showers. Keeping with the theme this year of doing just random Reddit shit. That's what the next thing is.

Speaker 2second chair. You have two chairs. Oh yeah, there's three chairs in this room actually.
Speaker 3Oh, it just like blipped into existence, unless I was not paying attention.
Speaker 2No, my camera's doing that shit where it's just refocusing a bunch still Okay, so I just wasn't paying too much attention I thought it was a figure in the background and I was like, ah whoop, behind you it's. Luigi, he waited for this moment.
Speaker 1He's a patient man.
Speaker 4He waited for you to eat your feet.
Speaker 1What, what.
Speaker 2Put your foot in your mouth. Is that another northern Midwestern thing that I don't understand?
Speaker 4No, it's just a misnomer, I guess. Okay, it's the movie's called Midsummer. You're right, stupid, which I guess is also. We were not doing this yeah.
Speaker 2We can't do movies. You're in review.
Speaker 4No, fuck no.
Speaker 3Tell me what I can do Do we have anything to say?
Speaker 2about more internet random mysteries.
Speaker 4I want to remember what this, which one was this?
Speaker 3This was the most recent one that we did.
Speaker 2This was the one about Vajfingers.
Speaker 4Oh, yes, I enjoyed this one.
Speaker 3I enjoyed this one a lot. I feel like this is where I saw you specifically, matt, talk about. You're just like this is fucking weird and I'm very happy to talk about it. I think this is the first one that I saw in a while, just like an actual glimmer in your eye like a kid in a candy store, like a kid who picked out a toy in the Toys R Us and is so excited to show mom and dad what you picked.
Speaker 2When I was trying to find topics for this, I came across that subreddit and I was like, yes, this is the one.
Speaker 3And this is where I talked about Tom Arteaus. I talked about Tom Arteaus. Yeah, yeah, thoroughly enjoyed that episode. It might not do the best, but it's an episode where we all just came up with just a weird fucking thing this one actually did pretty well on YouTube I don't know if you're aware, we all just found a weird thing and I enjoy that.
Speaker 2Ok, little blobs, that was you and I, yeah.
Speaker 3I liked that one a lot because we don't get a lot of you and me time. We don't and I enjoy a good bunch of jizz falling from the sky.
Speaker 4Who better to enjoy?
Speaker 3that one than you.
Speaker 4Yeah, that was a fun one. That was one of the weird ones we've ever done, because it is real, but it does not fucking seem like it. Yeah, it's very interesting.
Speaker 3This is one that I kind of wish we could do over Not that I wish we could do over, but I wish that someday more information comes out on this.
Speaker 4You know what I mean.
Speaker 3I also wish that because there is no information we cover based on it. How would you?
Speaker 2even go back and get more information about this. Do they still have samples?
Speaker 4No, no, I mean like they have stolen.
Speaker 3No, I mean, like this is a topic where I wish that something like this would happen again.
Speaker 2Oh, ok.
Speaker 3I wish that technology is much better than like fucking 1992 or whatever.
Speaker 4Go to the Pacific Ocean, drop a bomb get all the jellyfish up in the air and that's all you gotta do.
Speaker 3Someone also said that they thought this was like salt or something they got like gelified in the air.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, it was like. The freezing temperatures, mixed with the rapid ascension, turned it into a gel and instead of a solid ice cream basically.
Speaker 1More or less Either way. Milk.
Speaker 4Right, there's right in the eggs With all the important ingredients.
Speaker 3I just I would love for something like this to happen again, where we could probably get better answers and more information on it, because this is just truly a fascinating topic, oh yeah.
Speaker 4And there's no answer. It's just wild speculation by Mike and Jason.
Speaker 3The next one is in the dark. Louise is missing. Slash Louise Paxton, paxton Paxton. Good one Liked it. Thank you, yeah, I enjoyed it. Yep, I have, no, no, nothing bad to say. I thoroughly enjoyed this topic. It was easy, it was easy to follow, it was entertaining, it was creepy, well done, well done.
Speaker 2It was one of the oldest. I like stuff on YouTube that's old, like this, that's done, well Like something that you watch and you're like, wow, this is very reminiscent of YouTube 15 years ago, but it's not just cringy.
Speaker 4Right, yeah, I love, I like finding those, especially because I feel like those ones set kind of a tone for a genre, especially on YouTube, because it seems like everybody cookie cuts from like a really popular thing. Look at analog horror. I mean local 58.
Speaker 3Look another PowerPoint slideshow Wow.
Speaker 4Matt and I have aired our problems with analog horror, so we'll do that again later.
Speaker 3Oh man, glitchy text yeah, Wonder what that says Anyway we can skip the next one we can skip the
Speaker 1next one. We can just we can skip right on over that.
Speaker 3The next one's, bond Skinny.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3Hated it, hated Bond. Skinny Hated everything that had to do with that. Yeah, that was the most uncomfortable I've ever felt researching anything. Yes, I never want to touch on that topic again.
Speaker 2I think that the discussion at the end was interesting because we actually talked about something I liked about this episode was that we actually talked about how we felt about it for a long time, because I think it upset us so much.
Speaker 3You know what I agree I think for the first time.
Speaker 2I think Mike just read or Jason just read the comment?
Speaker 4What's the comment? This might be one of my favorite comments. What's the comment? This episode was a nightmare to listen to Unorganized and everyone talking over each other. Horror comedy is their thing, but this wasn't funny. I should have left this to be a lost episode.
Speaker 2No, it wasn't funny. You decided to post that one up on.
Speaker 3Yeah, you decided to post that one.
Speaker 2There were three other options, but that was the one I went with Absolutely.
Speaker 4Yeah, we did not need to cover that Like at all.
Speaker 3That's when I wish I could reach back through time and kind of you know the funny thing is that is not the first comment I've read where it says we talk over each other.
Speaker 4Oh, every video almost yeah, it's where four guys drink, you're just gonna have to get through it, like It'll happen. You can get better at it, though.
Speaker 3I think this was the first episode of Deloody History where we all unanimously were like this is fucking wrong.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 3Like normally, there's an episode where at least one of us is like I loved this or I thought this was quite enjoyable. All of us were like I know, I hate this. I want nothing to do with this ever again. I don't want to cleanse my body from this.
Speaker 4If I could take a bath and hand sanitizer and then drink it afterwards I would, Without thinking of somebody peeing in a tub.
Speaker 2This is one where, like, if, whoever like, or I mean I guess we know who it is, but if they had contacted us and been like, could you like remove this episode? I'd just been like yes.
Speaker 4Absolutely.
Speaker 1Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4God yeah, 100% yeah. If anybody asks us to take that one down, there's no resistance.
Speaker 3Just fucking do it. I'm skinny, I'm talking to you. If you're like, hey, could you take it down Please, I'd be like, yes, ma'am, never, never, do that again.
Reflections on the Past Year's Content
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah. We, we all collectively agreed that we don't want to do anything like this again.
Speaker 4Nope, nope, nope, no Plus. Like after doing it, I think we all collectively thought about it and we're like, all we're doing is feeding this.
Speaker 1Making the problem worse.
Speaker 2Yeah, right.
Speaker 4Let's just not do that again. Mike, you, you. This one is probably up there for you.
Speaker 3Oh fuck, I don't remember what it was.
Speaker 4The man in the suit.
Speaker 2Yeah Zilla.
Speaker 1Oh, we kind of made the problem worse here too.
Speaker 3Yeah, we sure did, didn't we? Oh, fuck, fuck. So, yeah, I mean I've, I've, I've mentioned it in the episode, but like I, I think we we discovered that this was obviously someone's like relative first attempt at an ARG. They're a young kid.
Speaker 2And the person is very, very, very young.
Speaker 3Yeah, they're young and they made most of it like on their phone and shit.
Speaker 2Yeah, which is?
Speaker 1actually impressive yeah.
Speaker 3I even said during it, like a lot of the visuals and everything look awesome and like the, the core concept fantastic, but because they're so young and everything at the store got lost in the mud a little bit, yeah, Um, but you can. You could easily turn that around once you figure out where you want to go with it. But that was my only, my only feedback was it just got lost. Yeah.
Speaker 4Which is fine, I think we did the rest of the internet.
Speaker 3Not so much said nice things.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, I think we did a okay job of providing some constructive feedback. I think there's a couple of things. Maybe we said that was a little harsh, but it turns out that, especially on top of the fact that the guy who played the original Godzilla died the week after this episode came out, the kid who made this analog horror got bullied so badly about, like his series in general, that he ended up just being like I can't do this anymore, I have to get off the internet. Like people were actually apparently sending him like death threats and stuff and like telling him he ruined Godzilla, which that's just that's not okay.
Speaker 3That's not true. Yeah, you can't ruin Godzilla. It's also just analog horror.
Speaker 2Like Jesus Christ, people take, don't take it so fucking seriously.
Speaker 3It's just there's a, there's a billion analog horrors.
Speaker 4Even let people enjoy things Like it's not hard.
Speaker 3It's a very creative idea. Oh, hell, yeah. Like if you would have told me that someone made a Godzilla analog horror, I'd be like, all right, so it's going to be like a fucking PowerPoint about a giant lizard attacking a city. No, it was about the people getting trapped in a suit. Never would have thought of that. No, brilliant idea that's super cool.
Speaker 4It was just execution and like.
Speaker 3I said I think we did it. They're going to pick it back up too. They released a new video Not too long ago. Good.
Speaker 2It's getting picked back up.
Speaker 3I don't think you'd go that Me too Same. Maybe we'll cover it again. But like, yeah, we, I don't think we poo-pooed it at all.
Speaker 4I honestly think we just gave good I wouldn't mind reaching out to this person and just being like hey like I think we should leave it alone.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think we should leave it alone.
Speaker 4You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, yep, yep, yep, yep. What's?
Speaker 3the next T.
Speaker 4Uh, oh, okay, ready to read it on Reddit or fortune. This was the one with a. Oh, what was this one? Dr Fed legs, yeah, yeah the guy who painted people's legs yellow. Yeah, I forgot about that one. Fuck, that was weird.
Speaker 3It was weird but I enjoyed it, and this is one where I had the two that yes, and you just fucking blue balled the shit out of the three of my favorite ones.
Speaker 4What were your topics? Again, Mike?
Speaker 2I had my topics.
Speaker 3My topics were guy Comes over to his driveway just to see a random coffin there.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, and it was just a fucking marketing for a German cemetery, that's the.
Speaker 3That's the theory, but it literally goes nowhere. Yeah, just and the guy, just this guy there's like coordinates inside to a German cemetery. Some guy goes there, there's nothing there, that's it, yeah. And the other one was for, um, people who they ate inside of a ghost diner. Oh yeah, and it literally is the same thing, it's just a diner caught on fire. And you were like you ate there, like the day before, and it was like smoke your nose like it was like it was like a week after it.
Speaker 3Yeah, but it it didn't really go anywhere and the story was I was so angry at you.
Speaker 4I remember that.
Speaker 3Balls and it was In the story.
Speaker 2I just thought of the semi-related to the fire things. I went to a flogging Molly show in Atlanta one time and, like the week after that show, the floor and the venue Collapsed during a panic at the disco show.
Speaker 1Holy shit.
Speaker 2Yeah, I. My theory is that the flogging Molly crowd just did so much structural damage to the 100% 100%.
Speaker 4Yeah. I remember when I first saw them at some indoor venue and like, oh yeah.
Speaker 2Crowd gets why that's the craziest crowd I've seen.
Speaker 4I had a dude walk up to me and barely get out the words. Well, kind of looking at me going, you know, fight. And I'm like you want to fight me? And he's like Uh-huh, uh-huh, no, I just turned around. He's like okay, it's walked away.
Speaker 3I thank you for your time. Here's $5.00.
Speaker 2What the fuck gave me a Guinness off the stage. That's pretty great.
Speaker 3That's actually really cool.
Speaker 2Hell yeah oh.
Speaker 3Neat Hell yeah right now.
Speaker 2Go run and grab it. I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 3Show it on this audio platform.
Speaker 4Was the story Doug brought up.
Speaker 3Oh, fantastic question, jason. I'm glad you asked it. I think that wraps up. No, we got cure at.
Speaker 4oh, that's right here on last one Yep, last one of the year.
Speaker 2Here at nine six three, you just want to hear about how much of a piece of shit you are.
Speaker 4Yeah, if you just want to be very depressed, go ahead and watch this. It was which actually.
Speaker 2Makes me feel like maybe it's a good thing we didn't do the topic we were gonna do today right after this one, because it's awesome, I feel good it's it's not feel good at all, you are correct, but it it looks cool.
Speaker 4Oh, it's the accident. Oh, it really really fucking does. But yes, we actually did a good thing.
Speaker 3We accidentally content.
Speaker 2Back next week, everybody, because the top is gonna be lit. Yeah, yeah, it's a good one.
Speaker 3No, what to do?
Speaker 4Well, now that we know that there's not fucking hidden avenues, yeah, that that is a year in Memoriam.
Speaker 3Everybody we sold all of Doug's shares and the looty and his house?
Speaker 4He doesn't know yet.
Speaker 3Yeah, he doesn't know yet, but that belongs to the shareholders now.
Speaker 2How did you guys feel about the year in general? That's a good question.
Speaker 3I would say this is one of our strongest years, personally one of our strongest of the two years.
Speaker 2Yeah, I guess like two and some change yeah we're going on three we.
Speaker 3This would be three years of February.
Speaker 4Yeah, it's been a fucking minute. Yeah, I think it we did Decently. I definitely know that there were there. I mean, same old the looty pitfalls that we've had while having, you know, jobs and life in this net and all that. I wish we could be more consistent. I really do, but that just doesn't seem like it's in the fucking card. So we're just gonna well, we'll wing it, we'll get shit done. I think one thing that we did really good at this year was being more coherent and like Just getting all like the side information about like the relevant information about topics. I think that's something we did really really well Just simply branching, like doing a one-off search on Google about whatever you're supposed to be looking at.
Speaker 2I think the other thing that we learned this year Sorry, I'll let you finish, I'm all you finish, but Like we've done a much better job of figuring out what we can bite off and also Like if we get to the point where we feel like we need to postpone something or read like do something else, we're more ready to admit that instead of just yes push through it, yep.
Speaker 4SCP. Um no, yeah, that's so. That's definitely a big growth in the the content department. I remember we first started we had so many fucking huge ideas. Like we started this because we wanted to start like a network up within like a year or something like that. Like we were all over the place, and I think we've done a really good job of like reeling ourselves back in and being realistic and Remembering just to have actual fun while doing this instead of treating this like a fucking business.
Speaker 3Yeah, there are. There are times where I, I, I, I, I, I.
Speaker 1I I.
Speaker 2I, I I.
Speaker 3I, I I.
Speaker 2I don't think likely ended this podcast, I think we would.
Speaker 4I don't think we would still be doing this.
Speaker 3Yeah, it could have changed a bunch of stuff. Yeah, and it you know it's. It's funny how that all works. I don't think that was last year. Was that last year?
Speaker 2Yeah, before was it end of it was getting towards the end of last year.
Speaker 3Yeah, okay, but it was definitely what a what a weird time it's been, what a weird almost three years it's been. It really has. And, looking back on it, I think 2023 was very strong for us. We had More, I think, unique Topics than the year before.
Speaker 4I think that the year before we followed some sort of as we read, as we read through the list and saw like 15 Reddit story yeah, well, I mean like everything in there is that's fair, that's fair
Speaker 3like the year before, we had like Monty, and mythos was granted, we did it again here. But we also had like Alex Knasses, and we had Was it Bonnie the bunny or whatever?
Speaker 4Oh, Bon, like the Walton files.
Speaker 3Yeah, walton file, we did. We did all the things that all the big names were talking about and in this one I think we dove back into, like the smaller aspect.
Speaker 4Well, we're getting back to the shit I actually enjoy.
Speaker 3Yeah, I appreciate that more than yeah. What's the next big thing that everyone's talking about? So we can attempt to get in on that algorithm, but we never will because we're too small.
Speaker 2Yeah, next row already cornered the right. That's the thing, is like we actually do things we enjoy, which I think makes the podcast better, instead of like trying to, like you said, do heavy hitters that have already been covered, mm-hmm.
Speaker 4Yeah so yeah, we've kind of we've. We've relied less on like predicting the algorithm and just gone more with our guts and We've done better numbers than Before, when we were trying to do that. So yeah, hundred percent.
Speaker 3So take that. I'll go right here that kids, if you don't try, you'll be happy you to um. Well, dang, what else do I have to say other than go to the loo de pod dot com, go there, go to loo de dot com, become a member.
