I understand he must have had gone through some sort of throat surgery or something. There's no way he came out. The window.
Speaker 2:It's like probably all the drugs or something, I think I think he explained why I think he explained why he sounds like that one time, but I don't remember. It may have had something to do with the brain damage.
Speaker 4:Oh, right oh the worm.
Speaker 2:I forgot about the worm, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah he's in politics Anyway, mike, I gotta wonder.

Speaker 2:He's just sitting at work while he's working from home just practicing his rfk juniors I'm just gonna do this ticket this website.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I got it in the website oh, doug's sending me a slap message it's kind of hard to do, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2:It really hits the throat a little bit I just end up becoming like the cookie monster or something you do kind of hard to do. I'm not going to lie, it really hits the throat a little bit. I just end up becoming the Cookie Monster or something.

I feel like I just want to say Now he's going to buffer the whole thing until we get to 10 minutes.
Speaker 3:It's shit like that where I'm like I want to find your address and part of me believes they probably live on an address like 331 North Elkman.
Speaker 2:And I'll find you there.

Speaker 1:Yeah, bird scooter.
Speaker 4:What's happened to you, man? Parenthood I was forced to grow up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're covering a topic that is, I would say, very little known um.
Speaker 2:In fact, I could find fuck of nothing. Yeah, if you quote this and put it in google, you find like three reddit posts and the youtube and the the yep and a bunch of 311 concerts.
Speaker 4:And if you put it into youtube, if you put it to youtube.
Speaker 3:You find like one video from them and the rest are like nighttime security camera footage.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, yeah, in the same, like man breaks in the house.
Speaker 3:I was like oh oh so it's definitely very interesting. It's part of the thing.
Speaker 2:I think it's. I think it's underappreciated I would agree.
Speaker 3:Um, yeah, yeah. So it's a little little hot ditty that we found on YouTube called 331 North Elkman, and we're going to go into it. There's going to be a two-parter, there'll be a two-parter, so we're going to go into it. Boys, where do we start if not the start?
Speaker 1:Yep, that's the place Are we?
Speaker 4:skipping housekeeping. I already did housekeeping. He blew right through that.
Speaker 3:I mean, we don't really have much, do we? Do we have anyone? What about?
Speaker 2:the new patreon. I've definitely seen a few people, yeah there's some there's some people, there's like four.

Speaker 4:It's the specificity. For me, that's a good one, that's a theme here, it seems it's the specificity.
Speaker 2:For me, that's a good one, that's an. S tier one for me.
Speaker 5:I saw that one the other day and I was like this is good right here.

Speaker 5:The power.
Speaker 3:I didn't see the power. Where's that? At Just the?
Speaker 2:power? I don't know.
Speaker 3:I feel like it Pretty sure Well thanks the power. We got an email no one man should have all the power, all right, so where do we start? Except shit at the start for north alchman again. Go to youtube, check it out. Um, there's also a twitter and instagram that you should probably check out as well. While you're, I'm gonna stop you right there.
Speaker 5:I highly recommend following along and and watching at the same time, like we used to do.
Speaker 2:I'm going to bring it up on El Scrino, though. Where are we?
Speaker 3:We're at me trying.
Speaker 1:Let's content. Hey look 10 minutes.
Speaker 4:Yeah, look at that 10 minute mark.
Speaker 2:I'll cut it out, it'll be fun.
Speaker 3:Nah, fuck it, I know, I know. So, anyway, where we start, except the beginning, and in the beginning was the beginning of the content.
Speaker 3:So I'm going to start us off with the first couple of videos here. I'm just going to list off the names of them. You can go from there, but I'm going to give it basically the easiest TLDR of what's going on here. Yeah, video one. Yeah, waiting. Yeah, neil slash, record one. Neil slash record two, introduction, 331, north Elkman Problem Solution and XMS. These are all extremely short videos and essentially how we start off this entire bit of content is we start off with these two videos that seemingly are just obscure, like they kind of seem like art projects. There's not a whole lot going on in them. They're just kind of like um, like footage of people driving by things and then, oh, look, abandoned houses and like warehouse looking things and like fields, shit like that. You know it doesn't really seem to have too much to do with anything. So at the very end of one of them it's the camera kind of like pans to a dude's face who's driving the car and he's like doing that like Zoolander when they're driving thing.
Speaker 4:You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Yeah, um, uh. The two of them are kind of like that waiting is kind of a little bit more avant-garde, I would say you're not wrong. Um, like a record spinning and then like a dark scene of like a fucking light showing. It's very weird. And at the at the end of it there's just a little flash of this like clock that says 228. Um, pretty much it when it comes to this weird avant-garde schliz um how many times can you say the word avant-garde? Uh, as much as I can, because I like it.
Speaker 2:Is that two words?
Speaker 3:sure it's a dash, maybe. Whatever, I'm not French the next one we start off. This is where our plot starts to take a bit more, I guess, pretense To plot. So we start off with this guy laying in a field and it stays on that for longer than it should. The hook has started he gets up and he's like whoa, where the fuck am I dude?
Speaker 3:and he goes over to the camera jumanji picks it up, he pulls a jumanji, goes over the camera. He picks it up and he's just like, well, okay, and that is what I would say is basically the video right there. He picks it up and he starts walking and he notices he pulls out of his pocket a little SD card. Hmm, weird, weird, weird. The next video we start with Neil. It's called Neil Record One, so this guy is assumed to be Neil. He's walking over to his car. He's like walk through the forest.
Speaker 4:Do you mean Neil Record Two?
Speaker 3:Neil Record, no, um, he's like walk through the forest, and you mean real neil record.
Speaker 4:two, neil rec no, well, neil record one is where you find the name. Neil neil record two. I see walking to.
Speaker 3:Sorry I stopped listening to you for a second that's fine, as one does right so he's walking like through this, like field and down this like gravel-esque looking, uh, like driveway looking thing, path to this car, and it's assumed that this is his car because he opens it up and he has the key to get into the fucker. Um, there we go. That's the video right there. The next one is called introduction and this is him sitting in his car and he's like guess, I'm just gonna record this and let y'all know what's going on. And he's basically telling us I just woke up in the middle of a field. I don't have any memories of where I am or this place. This is very unfamiliar, no idea what's going on.
Speaker 3:I just woke up in the middle of a field. I don't have any memories of where I am or this place. This is very unfamiliar, no idea what's going on. I just woke up with a camera. Um, the camera said record next to it. So I'm doing that. And I had this sd card he said. I got in my car, found a couple other things. So one found this folder. Folder had this image in it and it's this picture of a dude with, like this smiley face drawn onto him and on the back of it it says Eddie, so I'm assuming this person's name is Eddie.
Speaker 3:Kind of looks like the guy from the first video when it flashes them driving kind of looks like that person a little bit. He also says in that is it. Eddie.
Speaker 3:Flambeau of course he also mentions that um, in this file that he has along with the picture, are a couple um pieces of paper that have like missing persons on it, and he says that he's got a computer and it's got a charger on it and he's going to see what's going on. He's going to see what's on the sd card as well. He makes a point to say that he's going to upload the videos that are on the sd card either before, after this one seems like he did it after, because he mentions there's two to upload the videos that are on the SD card either before or after. This one seems like he did it after, because he mentions there's two videos on the SD card I'm assuming that's the video one and waiting.
Speaker 3:Those are what's on the SD card that he finds gotcha so, moving forward a little bit to the next video, 331 North Elkman. This is when, um, our protag of the the time, neil, basically mentions hey. So I went to this local diner, I charged up the laptop, um, I found a couple other things going on. He's like, first and foremost, um, on the laptop, there is a file, uh, a text file. On that text file were these coordinates and this address, the address being 331 north elkman. He's like, other than that there wasn't too much going on on this computer. He's like I did find this journal, though, and he pulls up this journal. He's like thought it was mine, but it ain't my handwriting, so not entirely sure what it be or what it do, because it is a mystery. It do what it be. Yeah, he's like this is a mystery. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to this 331 North Elkman address and see what the heck is going on and, in trying true fashion, he does show.
Speaker 2:He's just going to do a casual B&E. Is what he's going to do? Just a little B&E.
Speaker 3:So in the next video, called Problem, it starts off with text on the screen and it's basically like oh, I've been visiting this house for a couple days now. No one seems to be coming or going. I don't see people, um, so I'm just gonna go see what else is going on. So he goes up to the house and our pro tag is now a criminal.
Speaker 1:He goes up to this house, all of a sudden rings this doorbell, no one answers.
Speaker 3:He's like peeking through the fucking window with his camera like a pervert and he's like, well, I guess I'll just fucking go around the back and he notices that, like the or no, he goes to the side and uh, on the side is a door oh, yeah, it opens to the garage and he's like I guess I'll just help myself.
Speaker 3:I guess they wanted me to come in here. Yeah, so he goes in through this garage. Oh, I'm sorry. He also found on the um. On the sd card it was labeled xms. That's relatively so, um, so he breaks into this person's home literally just a fucking person's home at this point, and we're supposed to like this character, um, and he's like sneaking around and he sees this laptop sitting on on a desk and on this laptop he sees a flash drive that's labeled mx, xms and he's like, oh, I should fucking, I should take that shit so steal now so yeah, so he's see.
Speaker 3:So he he's like looking at this, um, uh, uh, this laptop with the um, the flash drive on it, and he's's like I'm going to take this shit. So he pops it, grabs it, and he notices also that there's someone else at the house, so someone was home. He broke into their home, anyway, and he follows them outside of their house and he watches them get in their car and drive away, so like a good lad. Yeah, next video solution.
Speaker 2:And then he uploads his crime to the internet.
Speaker 3:Right. So this is when he says that he followed whoever it was that he took the flash drive from for a few days. He notices at this point that they leave home every day at about two o'clock.
Speaker 4:It doesn't take much to just convert someone to a life of crime.
Speaker 3:All it takes is apparently you can just receiving an addressnesia.
Speaker 4:Wake up in the woods just have yes, I'll do knowledge of a random address, yeah, and be like I'm a crime.
Speaker 3:I'm a crime guy now. I'm a crime guy, so he does this twice. That's the funny part. He does this twice, yep, so he fucking um. Uh, I'm sorry he doesn't swipe the uh flash drive yet. He does that in this video, but does do something in there, so he follows the person't swipe the flash drive.
Speaker 4:Yet he does that in this video.
Speaker 3:He does do something in there, so he follows the person that has the flash drive to another location. It's a smaller little house and he does the exact same fucking thing. He goes up to the door. It's locked. He fucking puts his camera in the window like a pervert. Can't fucking get in. This is his move, man, so he walks to the back of the house.
Speaker 3:The doors open and skewed a little bit, so he Can't fucking get in. This is his move, man. So he walks into the back of the house, walks to the back of the house, the doors open, askew a little bit, so he goes into the house and this is where he steals the flash drive that has XMS on it.
Speaker 5:I will say this man loves to film the fucking ground.
Speaker 4:Loves it. I know exactly how big this man's dick is, and I have never seen him naked.
Speaker 3:He loves to film the ground, the crotch, and his crimes, his crotch crimes, his crotch crimes.
Speaker 5:Crimes of passion.
Speaker 3:He steals the flash drive and then he dips out of the house and, as he's like banking around, leaving the house, someone walks out of that house into the front like the front patio, where the door was that he tried to unlock and couldn't, and it basically just cuts there. So I'm assuming the homeowner shot him. That's not what happened. But, boy, that's what happened because this is america and you don't just break into people's homes. You don't knock on people's doors in this country, yes, until you get shot. The next video that's uploaded is xms, and this is where he mentions that this is what he found on the flash drive and it is a video of a woman with, like this, like greenish dyed hair, um, and there's not a whole lot going on on this video. It's just her kind of just chilling talking to someone, but you don't really know who she's talking to. Um, there's pictures of two people, um, on this laptop as well but you find out who they are, you get later.
Speaker 3:And then you also find images of yeah, pretty quick, you find images of a record which he also found in his possession. Yeah, in his car he found a broken record of 45, because he's a hipster and knows the difference between record sizes um, and he finds an image of like a broken down house as well. And again this video of this woman with like bluish teal hair. Um, it's just like a real quick, like 10 second, 15 second thing of her just like talking to someone and then, but it's like muted, you don't even hear audio to it. Um, but he's like I need to find this guy and he's pointing at a picture of a man. Is like i'ma find him and that's where my shit ends, damn sick, and that's where I'll pick up.
Speaker 3:So so far we're following a criminal yeah, what do we think so far?
Speaker 2:like it's just uh crime yeah it's just it's a lot of crime. Crime.
Speaker 4:It goes from zero to a hundred real, fucking quick oh, really like the, the assumptions made by this person, and like the I I don't know if you woke up and you lost your entire memory of before. When you woke up, officer, I forgot I couldn't be in right, I forgot.
Speaker 2:I couldn't just guess I'm a guess I'll do crime like I guess the only obvious conclusion is I do whatever the fuck I want.
Speaker 5:Right, but officer, I don't remember anything, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, I was never taught that, or at least I don't know that.
Speaker 4:I was ever taught that. You can't prove. I was ever taught that.
Speaker 2:Right, exactly.
Speaker 4:I don't know.
Speaker 2:I mean, I think it's intriguing, at least is it ever? Explained? Is it explained in any of these videos so far, like where any of this is taking place or anything?
Speaker 5:I don't think so you learn that like way later all you get is that you know there's mountains. Yeah, one thing I was gonna say earlier too is I know I know mike mentioned like going to the twitter and the instagram. I would honestly watch everything and then view the twitter and the instagram, because it's like if you go to the instagram it's just immediate spoilers, like if you haven't watched everything yeah, there's stuff.
Speaker 2:So there's stuff you're not even told until like three quarters of the way in. That is like in the first Instagram post yeah, so it's, yeah. Don't fuck yourself up, unless you're just listening to this whole episode before you go watch any of it, in which case you know what happens anyway.
Speaker 1:So I guess do whatever the fuck you want, that's fair if you're here and you haven't already watched this.
Speaker 2:I guess it's too late, huh.
Speaker 5:I'm a podcaster, not a cop I act like it's like we're like a guide, like they're listening to, like a tour guide while they're watching this, and we're just like sitting here being like don't do this now um, anyways, to continue all right, let's, uh, let's, keep it moving, shall we?
Speaker 5:yes all right. So, um, where we left off? Uh, I started on a video called riverbend trailer park, uh. So neil ends up going to this trailer park that the journal mentions, um, basically that, uh, he's kind of looking for this guy named pat uh, which I believe is the the man he was vigorously fucking pointing at in the one video before, but that's assumption as of right now. So he stays a while and doesn't find anything. He even talks to the supervisor and they're like I don't know, a fucking pat. She's like why don't you try some other parks? He finds two other parks.
Speaker 3:How helpful of her. I don't know a pat. Go try a different park, yeah right.
Speaker 5:Go try a different park.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, A trailer park.
Speaker 5:He mentions that he's found two other parks, and that's really where the video ends. It's very short, there's not a whole lot going on. The description of this video does mention that the journal belongs to someone named M. That's all the description has in it. So we go to the next uh video. It's called meeting. This video starts with uh neil basically knocking on a trailer park door.
Speaker 5:Um, no one answers, so guess what he does time to be you won't even believe it he doesn't actually be an E, but he does start snooping around the property like a big piece of shit.
Speaker 4:Like he's casing the place for for two.
Speaker 2:He's downgraded from B and E to casual trespassing.
Speaker 5:Yeah, he's just kind of lurking at this point, but he's doing the same thing he knocks on the door. Well, this time he actually actually knocks. He did try to have someone allow him inside, right? So?
Speaker 1:it's because it says aware of dog it.
Speaker 5:It doesn't it doesn't super explain why he chose this trailer to knock on, but we're gonna move past that because, anyways. So we see him walking around the property and I I put this in parentheses, man, this guy is bad with a camera anyways so he sees someone in the backyard, like he comes around the corner, and he sees someone in the backyard, like on the patio, and so he ends up like running behind these barrels and he's like sitting there just like filming this guy, which I feel like there's so many points in this where I'm like those people have to see this guy just filming.
Speaker 1:Right, he's just next to a blue barrel like fully standing above it yeah.
Speaker 5:So he like tries to get a better view and he stands up right into some wind chimes and then he just fucking bolts and uh, that's where the video ends. But in the description he's like oh, that wasn't so great, like hope everything goes well, like he doesn't know what happened already that one, huh, I will say the not my best, beginning honestly uh, descriptions they start.
Speaker 4:They start off strong and eventually they do just kind of fall off.
Speaker 5:I think there's a reason for that, but I'm not 100 I do have a theory about that as well, but I'll probably something we'll talk about in the second episode. Um, however, um, that's where that video ends. So we get the next video. It's called wake up, um, and this one is just kind of like a weird, like analog video almost, where it just starts with the words are you? And then it cuts a shot of a record spinning and then there's busted down like trailer avant-garde. I won't do that.
Speaker 4:And then we see the word bubble for this.
Speaker 5:It's so. Yeah, we see the backside of this woman who, from the last video that mike talked about, uh, has like greenish, like teal hair, um, and then it's just some more b-roll of just like outside and some like still life and like clocks and statues and stuff, and at the very end of the video we see the words ashamed, and that's where this video ends, not a whole lot going on you got caught are you ashamed?
Speaker 3:on their property. You should not go on wind shots, are you?
Speaker 5:ashamed. So this video is like kind of out of the blue. So, like you know, first we're kind of getting this point of view from our main character, neil, and now we have this like random inserted video. So um, it's obvious.
Speaker 3:This is couldn't. It's obvious it's connected to the first one that I had.
Speaker 2:It reuses the shots.
Speaker 4:You'll see that a lot and that's kind of how you can tell where what clips came from and why they're there.
Speaker 5:It's all very I will say this it's very avant-garde of them. Yeah, it's very avant-garde. Um, I will say this whole story is a little hard to follow sometimes, especially if you're just like binging the whole series. Um, the video and the audio aren't super great. So there's a lot of things I missed in my first watch through that I caught in my second watch through because of, like, literally just because of volume. So that's a thing that kind of happened during this too, but anyway, so in our next video.
Speaker 2:I would recommend listening to this with headphones.
Speaker 5:Yeah, actually, that's the perfect way to do this and an easy way to control the volume, because it fucking goes up and down.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, also that I shit my pants multiple times.
Speaker 5:Oh bro, yeah, to control the volume, because it fucking goes up and down. Oh yeah, also that I shit my pants multiple times. Oh bro, yeah, there's a fucking jump scare in one of these that I I literally have to there are points in this series that are like unreasonably scary for no god remembering.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah like one of them. My fucking dog ran down the stairs because I screamed, because I was like I was kind of falling asleep and then all of a sudden it just the volume went through the roof and he comes running to the stairs barking and I'm just like what the fuck is going on. There's a pervert in my house. There's a pervert in my house.
Speaker 2:I've had to rewind the video and be like what just happened.
Speaker 4:Yeah pretty much.
Speaker 5:So watch that volume, all right. So next video is called Ben.
Speaker 2:Grab a brush.
Speaker 5:B-E. Grab a brush, did he drop? Uh, no, unfortunately. All right. So in this video, um, we so we just had him like basically get caught, essentially by this dude on the porch that he was filming. So now we go to this video and it seems like he is now talking with the, the man that he saw. Um, they're sitting in his room and he's starting to kind of explain his whole story and like why he's been kind of following him and all that stuff. And, um, we learned that this guy's name is ben.
Speaker 5:Um, so the guy that he's been searching for, uh, pat, actually apparently was ben's best friend when he was growing up, and now it seems like no one is really sure where this guy is. Um, so ben gets an email, similar to the one that our main guy got, um, and he realizes, uh, neil realizes that he has now lost the sd card that he had and he thinks that he is maybe left it at dinner the other night or something. Um, which seems really really it was really weird, because that's where the video ends and I'm like, oh, all right, sick, um. So we go to the next video and it's called emily brenner. Now, um, yeah, we've seen one girl in this whole video. So let's put two and two together here. So, uh, basically, in this video, uh, they go out to what looks like this, like busted down trailer, which I think we've already seen a video of um times at this point and apparently a fire happened there and yeah, like, maybe like three or four times now.
Speaker 5:But, uh, a guy named roger used to own it and he was dating a girl named emily. Uh, brenner and and Roger has unfortunately perished in this fire. So, yeah, they come to find that while they're snooping around the grounds that fucking like this weird face painted on what looks like kind of like a fridge and there's a box below it painted with the same face, so he and ben end up taking it um again. These videos are really short so I'm gonna be going kind of rapid fire for a second here um, they mentioned too.
Speaker 3:They're like roger died, but emily's emily went missing yeah, she yeah um again.
Speaker 5:I put in, I put in parentheses this man loves filming the ground. Um, loves, so, yeah, so we move on to the next one. It's called the box. Uh, and this is a slightly longer video this time it's about six minutes, so brace yourselves, um, but I've condensed it to three topic points. Inside the box was a bear, some books and a vhs. Uh, he mentions that some of the symbols on the box and the bear were also inside of the journal that he found. And, uh, I just thought, uh, he mentions that some of the symbols on the box and the bear were also inside of the journal that he found. And, uh, I just thought this was neat. But one of the books is house of leaves, which now makes a whole lot of sense, uh, after watching everything. But, um, yeah, so that's pretty neat. Um, basically, he's like yo, we got to get to reading, like, I'll read this one, I'll take this, and they kind of like split up, just like looking through all the shit.
Speaker 5:Um, and literally the whole video is them just going back and forth if they've like seen this symbol or seen that symbol or whatever it watched abs of steel yeah and then like, as they're like about to be done, they're like, oh wait, there's this roll of film in here and then, uh, they open it up and there's no film in it. It's like a necklace and yeah.
Speaker 1:I want a picture of Spider-Man.
Speaker 5:He says this weird thing. He's like oh, this necklace is kind of weird. He's like it's like yours. But he's like it's weird like yours, but not like as weird and I was like okay, it has a general vibe that is similar.
Speaker 3:You did the YouTube voice on that.
Speaker 4:It has a general vibe, that is similar but not quite exactly the same weren't we all supposed to be talking like that for this? Episode oh yeah, we should have we would have got that we got rfk jr instead.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what a replacement definitely, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5:Anyways, I'm here to get the zoomer audience placement. Definitely, yeah, okay well, okay, anyways been too long, huh, okay, so, uh, so yeah, neil ends up taking the abs of steel because he's probably gonna go beat off with it for a while. But we go to the next video. It's called Untitled and they are like this is what we found on the tape in the box abs of steel ab is of steel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that apostrophe is not supposed to be possessive ab of steel. Abs is of steel abs of steel that's one of my biggest pet peeves in the fucking universe. Apostrophe abuse.
Speaker 4:I got so angry when I saw that.
Speaker 2:One that really bothers the fuck out of me is when people talk about, when people write, decades, and they'll write 70s or 90s or whatever, and they'll put 90 apostrophe s. That is not how you abbreviate a year.
Speaker 1:You don't put the apostrophe.
Speaker 2:Yeah because that means. That is like it would either be something belonging to 90, to the number 90, or it would be 90 is. I am a 90 is kid 90 is kid. Yeah, the apostrophe goes in the beginning because you're taking the 19 out.
Speaker 3:The apostrophe goes where the words where the letters are missing. Everyone leave comments on just apostrophes. Matt's apparently scared of them. I'm not scared of them.
Speaker 2:I love apostrophes. Everybody else just abuses them and I feel bad for them.
Speaker 4:I'm the one who cares about the apostrophes. I was born about the apostrophes I was born with the apostrophes.
Speaker 2:I was molded by them Anyway let's get back to Abys of Steel.
Speaker 5:Abys of Steel. Basically it's exactly what you think it is, except this is the first and maybe well, I don't want to say only, but this is like the most analog, horror-esque video in the whole series. I want to say because obviously we start watching Ab Is of Steel.
Speaker 2:I'm just waiting for Richard Simmons to show up.
Speaker 5:Yeah right Diet point but no, basically it's this woman starting off a workout and then all of a. Basically it's just like you know, starting off a workout and then all of a sudden it's just like distorted, creepy, demonic images and faces and you see, like these little like fate, like skulls and stuff in the background. It's all dark and black and a lot of black and red imagery. Um, super, all distorted. And then at the end we see the words closer or closer, I don't know your choice, but yeah, that's all we get on that one super short video again, um, and the next video it's called dge, um, and then in this video, neil ends up going to one of the coordinates from the drive that he had.
Speaker 5:Um, this building looks like an image that he actually has in his journal and the page with the drawing has part of it ripped off and all that's left where the rip is, is the letters dge. Now this building is super locked up, um, like, I guess, like head to toe, like you see these big ass chains, um, like holding the door shut, um. But as neil loves to do, he's now fucking snooping around this place looking through fucking windows filming inside.
Speaker 2:B&E.
Speaker 5:Unfortunately he can't B&E because he's probably not strong enough to B&E this place Dress padlocks my one weakness.
Speaker 5:But realistically he's just kind of looking for clues. And this place is pretty fucking run down and there's this big ass totem pole outside. Um looks pretty cool, um, and that's that's all we get in that one um. So the next video is called north woods locked door. So him and ben end up going into the forest, uh, where he first woke up. He takes ben with him and they're basically trying to find the exact spot that he woke up at. And as they're walking he's like yeah, I'm not really getting anything, I'm not really remembering anything. And trigger warning Super fucking jump scare happens, the fucking video glitches, the super loud noise happens and you just see this dude In like black and a white mask, just full-on sprinting towards them, dead, and and they just like book it.
Speaker 5:They fucking, they fucking clap cheeks back to the car, um, and then like they're like, oh my god, like what the fuck was that? And then like we get that like text that neil likes to put in in the videos where it's just like oh yeah, ben thought it was, uh, just a prank, so prank, so we're just chalking it up there.
Speaker 3:It's just a fucking prank, bro. One thing I want to add too On the flash drive that he found where he had the images of the two guys and he's like I need to find that guy, turns out it's Ben Ben's the guy in that photo.
Speaker 5:Yeah, one of them was ben yeah, we're still not sure who the other person is at this moment yet, though assumedly pat, but yeah or eddie, because eddie's mentioned too as one of his yes there's a lot of names that are mentioned, and if we know who they are, we don't so um pat is mentioned in the journal a couple times.
Speaker 5:Um, at least that's what they're due to on twitter so, anyways, we're gonna take you for the take you, take you at your face value. Word, yeah, word word for it anyways. So, uh, the last video that I have is called northwoods returned and, as you might assume, they returned to the northwoods. So they go back and they finally seem to find this path that they think has been what would have been the one that neil was like woke up on this is my favorite episodes or videos is is it so? Basically, what they do is they go into the forest.
Speaker 3:They find a bunch of trash that's why they're just like and then is this anything? It's just like a used cigarette cart. And they're like yeah, it's something I will say.
Speaker 5:I will say there's something about the cigarettes in this thing that I haven't figured out to like even now. I don't, I don't know. But long story short, they're fucking find a pack, they find a pack of red cigarettes um keep that in my arms I think, they are too I think they are.
Speaker 1:That's actually what I have written.
Speaker 5:that's what I have written down, but, um, so yeah, basically find a bunch of trash, and then he just is like hey look, and there's just like a backpack stuffed under some brush and they pull it out and the video ends and that's all I got.
Speaker 2:That is.
Speaker 5:So I'm gonna head out, I'm ahead.
Speaker 2:That's great. Alright, if you're following along in the video, you're not getting videos. I'm reading my notes instead of clicking on shit. Fuck off.
Speaker 3:So the next video is called the Cassette, so they take all that. I'm reading my notes instead of clicking on shit. Hell yeah, so fuck off.
Speaker 2:So the next video is called the Cassette. So they take all that shit that they found in the woods and they shove it in the trunk of Ben's car and they start digging through it and they find a notebook, a busted up CD, a cassette tape, a Walkman, a digital camera, a pill bottle and a t-shirt.
Speaker 3:They find some trash and some things.
Speaker 2:There are only a few things here that really matter. There's the cassette, there's the digital camera, there's the Walkman and the t-shirt. So they find two cassette cases, but there's only one cassette. Then there's a key, um, and ben says maybe this is a car key, I don't know. And then they start trying to play the cassette tape and it's super duper staticky and it just sounds like a person being drowned out by a shitload of noise. Um, but you find out what in the description, what this says uh, so the description of this video says the camera cut off due to the sd card out of storage space. I'll have to wait to transfer all the footage over to the laptop when I get a chance. As for what we heard on the cassette, it was a little hard to make out, but from what I can tell, it sounds like the poem that I found inside the XMS folder. There was a file that had a poem in it and Neil thinks that that's what's being said on the tape, thinks that that's what's being said on.
Speaker 2:The next video is called coordinates. Um, and so this one is neil going back to 331 north elkman, the house from earlier in the series, and uh, neil asked ben to come with him and, in a shocking twist of events, it turns out that ben knows this house and he even knows where the key to the front door is, which I guess is locked now. Uh, it wasn't the first time around, but now it is, um. So, ben ben uh, finds the key and he says that his friend, ed um, asked him to take care of it for a while because his dad just like disappeared on him and then his mom basically went to the nut house and then he went off to college, and so Ben was supposed to be taking care of this house. So they go into the house and they start looking around, but it seems like somebody's been here, and Ben seems to think that either Ed came back from college for a little bit or his dad has decided to come back into the picture for some reason.
Speaker 2:They find a couple things here. They find a weird map that has a location circled on it, and then they hear a weird noise. Um, and ben goes to investigate the noise, but he doesn't find anything. And I forgot to mention that the reason that they actually came back to the house is because ben thought that, or neil thought that he had dropped the sd card that he originally found in the house and, honestly, if you watch the video he like, remember when he first his first b&e you remember that good times you always remember your first, I think you can you actually see him like drop it as he's holding it to like compare the letters on the sd card to the flash drive right?
Speaker 3:there's a. There's a couple things with this too that, um, I think, help in the future. Like I know you guys mentioned before, what's with the like cigarettes? You find out that a first cigarette right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't do that.
Speaker 3:The cigarettes come up multiple times, that's no, I'm not doing it, but that's a huge coincidence. He finds the key under an ashtray. An ashtray full of cigarettes, Weird and also they mention that they found the map in the spot where the computer used to be that had the thumb drive.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, the computer is missing. That's sort of. The last thing they discover is that the computer is now missing. So, um, they try to figure out. Um, oh yeah, the other thing that they find is some coordinates on a sticky note. So they go to these coordinates and the next video is called m and ud research facility. So this is a. This is the building that's at these coordinates off the tongue and it is um.
Speaker 2:according to ben, it's a research facility where some uh facility, where some sort of unknown research that he doesn't actually know anything about was taking place, and the facility closed down about 15 years ago. Let me tell you, this building looks really bad for only being closed for 15 years.
Speaker 3:This looks like some. World War II era shit. I will give these guys the benefit of this one lots of cool locations. Two a lot of gorilla filmmaking. Because they go into these decrepit houses and they go up in places where you probably fucking shouldn't, because the the floor will collapse the mold alone.
Speaker 2:I think they did a shitload of time or they took a shitload of time scouting locations, because I did do a bit of doxing and figured out where a lot of these shots were filmed at and they're like several hours apart from each other.
Speaker 5:So there's a lot of dedication to this. Must have done a bunch of filming for, like, different parts, which makes some sense now that I think about it. Yeah, oh yeah moot.
Speaker 2:Make sure you dock some at the end of part two yeah, give full names addresses all that stuff for okay blood type, if you got it, um, social anyway, so this research ability closed down. They look around for a bit and upstairs they find a box like a cardboard box that's taped shut and it's got some like teepees, uh, scribbled on it like weird little symbols, which is relevant, oh yeah, um. And then they look inside the box and there's another vhs tape, inside there's a cassette, um, and then there's like this weird head thing and they seem. One note that I made here is that they seem way too unconcerned about what's going on, because this is the point where, if I hadn't already started getting real concerned that somebody is like fucking with me, I would be shitting my pants right now.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Because it's very obvious Like there's no ceiling on this building right, and this is a cardboard box that's just laying on the top floor, so it obviously hasn't been rained on, which means this box has not been sitting there for very long. Which means which means? Which means B&E, b&e, b&e, b&e. What it means is Neil starts wandering around the building some more and he sees a person and, like he sees this dude who's wearing um, like, uh, what looks like a red jacket or something, and he it's very difficult to make this person now at all, but as soon as neil sees the guy, he takes off running um they look around yeah, he like screams at him that's, this was the second jump scare.
Speaker 2:He like screams at him real loud and they start taking off, uh, trying to find this guy. They don't find him, um, and then, uh, ben notes that the guy that he saw seemed to have been wearing a silver mask with ears. But you definitely cannot make that up at all. And the description of this video says I also wanted to mention that in the journal M writes about working at some kind of facility. I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty confident that this is that same facility. The next video is called Memory. It's just some more avant-garde shit.
Speaker 2:It's just a bunch of shots real fucking dark shots of nothing. And then some elk antlers appear in the background, and then there's a lighthouse, there's some railroad tracks, there's some ocean, there's a church, and then there's just dreamy music in the background. There's a shot of a tree too, I think.
Speaker 3:I love that tree.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if it's.
Speaker 3:I don't know if it's a tree, I don't know if it matters or not, but one thing I wanted to bring up with that box that you found before. I think it's the TP symbol, yeah it is TP I found out. It's Hobo Code, hobo Code, it. It's a hobo code. Hobo code it means uh, they keep quiet.
Speaker 4:I think it's supposed to mean if you, if you look closely, you also saw the dilute phase on there. Yeah, you see that just uh, just saying, but uh, interesting that they integrated hobo code into this.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hobo code.
Speaker 2:We were real ahead of the game because this series was uploaded in 2019. We're playing the long game on this.
Speaker 4:Yeah, we are Finally coming to fruition this is it Finally In Deluty 7.0, we finally reveal the master plan.
Speaker 3:We've been a part of this the entire time.
Speaker 2:The next video is Ben's cabin. Ben, during the last video where they were in the abandoned research facility, just casually invites Neil to his parents' cabin, just very nonchalantly. And then Neil's like, yeah, I guess, do you think we're going to find anything there? And he's like, oh, nah, I just want to go get some memorabilia. This is a lot of generic. It felt very strange to invite.
Speaker 3:These are two dudes who have a crush on each other but don't want to admit it because, goddamn, they're having these small talk conversations. Hang on. They have a conversation before where they're just like, oh, have they had, I could use another cup of coffee. He's like, yeah, me too. He's like you thinking what I'm thinking, want to go get another one? He's like, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2:See, you said that in the chat.
Speaker 3:You read my mind, dude, and it's like they just want to fuck.
Speaker 2:You said that in the chat and I was like whatever man.
Speaker 1:But then I realized I was going to my parents' cabin alone. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I realized that that's got to be the only explanation for why that conversation would happen. Very like only a couple days ago, who just showed up on his property, snooped around, then invited him to his best friend's house which how'd he know about the house? And now you're just gonna invite him to your parents, cabin he's gonna stay at my parents cabin for a little bit for no reason yeah what do you think?
Speaker 4:no parents, no people, no clothes it'll be great a little grub and I like it anyway.
Speaker 2:They go to the cabin in this video and they fuck yeah, when they get there, it's pretty obvious that somebody's been there um recently, like the front door is just completely open and the lights are on and they find um some cigarettes on the table that match the cigarettes from earlier on.
Speaker 2:The radio's on and then Ben looks for some journals that he came to find and he's like freaking out because the journals are gone and they were in a lockbox and the lockbox is gone. And so Ben's like, well, I guess it was a B&E and they just wanted the lockbox because they thought that there would be important stuff in it and they just took off with that. And then the video ends with Neil being like we decided to stay at the cabin for a couple of days. Not what I would have done, fam. I would have called the cops and gone home is what I would have done.
Speaker 5:Yeah, call would have called the cops and gone home Is what I would have done. Yeah, call it a day. Cops aren't a thing in this. They're not even going to.
Speaker 4:Hold your stupid ass on Doug no cops make an appearance.
Speaker 3:I understand, but you know what I'm saying you fucking hold the phone Either the cops or the village people make an appearance.
Speaker 1:One or the other.
Speaker 2:And the village people makes more sense, honestly.
Speaker 4:We get the best in the forest the best in the forest?
Speaker 1:Yeah, the best cop I should have mentioned, this cabin is on a lake.
Speaker 2:It's a little lake campground, anyway. Next video is called For the Magician. This is a shot of the lake, and then there's a shot of some trees, some more avant-garde shit, and then Ben and Neil decide to take a walk down the train track.
Speaker 4:Do they hold hands.
Speaker 2:They don't get a chance. They were hit by a train Right and that's the end of the series. It looks like these railroad tracks haven't been used for a really long time. They look pretty abandoned. And so Neil starts asking Ben about Emily and Ben's like I don't really want to talk about that. And as soon as he said that, the camera just freaks the fuck out and some real. This is where shit gets real.
Speaker 4:So Neil gets fuck out and some real. This is where shit gets real.
Speaker 2:So neil gets transported into um, oh yeah, like shit, I forgot about this. Yeah, so well, actually. So like the camera freaks out and it zooms in and like this whole little sequence is super scary for no reason, like I said. And then, like the camera cuts to downtown and it seems like neil has been transported to downtown edgewater, which is the town that they're supposedly in, and there's a dude sitting on a bench in a silver mask, which is presumably the same person from earlier, and he's smoking a cigarette and he's like the uh, the, the bugs bunny on the toilet where he just scoots over.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's sitting.
Speaker 2:He does some Meat Canyon shit where he is sitting on a bench and then he just very creepily pats the bench to get Neil to sit down. Neil just walks over and plops his butt down and looks at the guy. The guy's smoking a cigarette and he doesn't really say anything he knows he's smoking Right anything and he just hands he's smoking Right.
Speaker 2:Exactly, he just hands Neil a 45 record and Neil starts to ask questions and the the guy just doesn't respond and then he just like puts his finger over his mouth very seductively Um and then he'll just pops into a room in a house.
Speaker 2:So now he's like in a room with a house and into a room in a house. So now he's like in a room with a house. In a room in a house, the creepy dude's sitting on a couch and there's a record player in the corner and the dude's like play the fucking record and so he's like just you, shut your mouth oh yeah, what's. What's the matter? You've barely touched your 45 record.
Speaker 1:So Neil plays the record and it sounds all fucked up.
Speaker 2:It's obviously playing at the wrong speed, it's playing too slow and it's playing some old-timey fucking music.
Speaker 3:I'll give him this. He sees the dude sitting on the couch and his immediate reaction is I'm gonna try to just leave, I'm just gonna go?
Speaker 4:yes, that's what you do, but the door's locked.
Speaker 2:But he's just like yeah exactly yeah, neil tries to take off okay, and the door's very obviously locked um. But as he's playing the record, creepy dude stands up. But as he's playing the record, creepy Dude stands up and just walks out of the room, and then Ben tries to follow him.
Speaker 1:Or not.
Speaker 2:Ben Neil tries to follow him and as he goes through the door he gets shit back out onto the railroad tracks and he yells for Ben and Ben's not there.
Speaker 1:Ben Ben Ben Ben-erd Ben-er-d.
Speaker 2:Next video is called Goodbye and in this video I don't know if this is an error or what, but Neil says I wanted to address the video uploaded earlier this week, parenthesis 8-1,. But there's no video that was uploaded on 8-1. And I thought maybe this was a video that had been taken down or something. But as it goes on, neil starts talking to ben about the fact that I guess neil gave ben some footage and asked him not to upload it to youtube, but ben uploaded it anyway. But during this conversation it becomes apparent that the video they're talking about is the for the magician video, so I think it's a reference to that video, unless I'm misunderstanding that's what I got too yeah, that's.
Speaker 2:That's really all that happens in this video.
Speaker 5:Um, you kind of see that neil is starting to doubt ben's intentions because he I do him the next one, I know I know we haven't addressed this very much, but I think it's really, really funny because of how like little views and stuff this has. Uh, there's always the same one dude commenting on the videos, just being like yeah fuck you Ben, and like shit like that like it's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 2:So for having 230 subscribers. They do have some dedicated fans, which is 100% yeah which is good, because I think we're goofing on it a little bit, but I think this is actually a pretty good series. This is one of the few one of the ones of these that we've done in a long time where I actually wanted to know what happens next yep, yeah, I'm also I.
Speaker 5:I really can't believe that it doesn't have more views.
Speaker 3:To be fair, yeah, like I'm I'm surprised, like actually surprised I think honestly I I legit think part of it has to do with just whatever happens when you try to Google it and you just get that weird security camera footage.
Speaker 2:Like I think it's just buried under the algorithmic problem.
Speaker 5:Yeah yeah, they're missing keywords.
Speaker 4:They're missing this. They're missing something to trigger it.
Speaker 2:The other issue is that the YouTube channel is called 331 Elkman. All one word. Yeah is called 331 elkman, all one word. Yeah, where I think if it was elk space men, or if it was spelled correctly, yeah, if it was elkman instead of elkman. So maybe it's not spelled incorrectly, but it's not spelled the way that if somebody told me 331 elkman, this isn't the way I would spell it same.
Speaker 3:That's not how I spelled it the first four times I showed you exactly, yeah which leads to more of the problems, I think yeah, I think that's the main reason that something on youtube was just beginning blocked or pushed down and yeah, they.
Speaker 2:They maybe need to add like another word in there or something like 331 elks elk man road or something, I don't know.
Speaker 4:Elk 331 uh, who cares?
Speaker 3:it's not ours anyway, take a fucking yeah, six years after you've uploaded this yeah, you need to optimize your.
Speaker 1:You need to optimize your seo, yeah, 2025.
Speaker 4:What are you doing?
Speaker 2:the next video is called philip brenner. Oh, where we heard that last name?
Speaker 2:oh, so this is uploaded a few weeks this is uploaded a few weeks after the last one, um, so neil's just like chilling at a diner and he stands up and he leaves and a girl says goodbye to him as he's leaving, um, and he explains that he was looking some stuff up in the research facility and he found a bunch of missing uh people flyers. And the missing people flyers are related to the people from the facility and Mike will have more on that. But anyway, a guy follows him out of the diner and tells him Sure will.
Speaker 2:You will, you will. Somebody will have more on that.
Speaker 4:Show the panic. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:Oh God, will you not?
Speaker 3:I don't know, I don't recall.
Speaker 2:Maybe Mike won't have more on that later, so anyway there's not a door.
Speaker 2:Anyway, a guy follows him out of the diner and is like hey, you left your fucking necklace. Here's your fucking necklace back. And he starts talking to the guy and he finds out that this is Emily's sister. What a fucking crazy coincidence, whoa.
Speaker 2:So the next video is called Legends and Rumors and he sits down with Phillip and he starts asking him some stuff. And Phillip, I guess, knows a bunch of history about the town of Edgewater and he tells Neil that back in the 80s I was in a very famous TV show. No, he says that. He says that back in the 80s there was like this weird group of fucking people called the Lodgemen and they believed in a bunch of weird culty shit like other dimensions and stuff like that, and that there was a hotel related to the Lodgemen and they had something to do with Elks and all the buildings from back then got torn down except for the hotel. And that is kind of the gist of that conversation. And then the next one is called the record. So neil goes to philip's house because people just invite each other to their houses the first time they meet in this world. Um, and he, neil, talks about how nice philip's house is. Philip brings up that he's looking for a roommate.
Speaker 3:Neil says that he just met you a day ago. Yeah, want to live with me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, neil says that he's staying at a hotel and philip's like, yeah, you want to just fucking move in with me, um, and then we just met.
Speaker 5:I'm sure you're fine yeah, I want to come to my cabin yeah.
Speaker 2:Uh, then a girl named heather shows up with a record player and they take the record player, they plug it in. Neil doesn't know how to operate a record player, clearly. He sticks the record on it and starts playing it and it starts just making weird fucking noises and Neil just gets real uncomfortable and he's having a panic attack and he's like just turn it off, man, just turn it off. And then he says something about the record and that it's actually more like a book and everybody's like what the fuck are you talking about? And that's when Philip finds out that the man that he just asked to live with him is schizophrenic.
Speaker 5:Also, this video is the exact point in time where the Instagram starts, and I know I told you not to look at it until after, so do with that what you will.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I enjoy that. I've been wondering this whole time because it's been, I think. I think Neil makes a comment that it's been like a month or so, since this all happened and A, how have you been afforded to live?
Speaker 4:at a hotel every day and B you. It's the b&es man.
Speaker 3:Yes, b&es, you're right, he's taking cash. He's recorded several of them, that's true but that was my first my first question about everything is like how are you living? And then this guy's like I could use a roommate. He's like, yeah, I'll, I'll live with you. You don't got a job.
Speaker 4:He never asked me. He's like can you make rent? He gets a job later. But like, yeah, he doesn't have a job yet. How much do you make every month? The guy would have said zero. I just woke up in the woods. Like yeah, I work at the factory.
Speaker 3:What are you talking about? What you got for us me boy.
Speaker 4:Okay, well, well, with that little revelation, we're gonna go ahead and move on to a video called truth, which you would think you know it's a little bit of a turning point in the series is maybe we're gonna learn some information. Um, so it opens up. We see, uh, neil getting coffee with ben. Now, last time that we saw them together was when he was lying to him yeah, like a big fucking liar. So they're getting coffee together and you can tell that Neil's kind of apprehensive about meeting with him. He's definitely guarded and Ben's like he's shifty as fuck. He's like looking around, he's got his coffee and he goes. You want to walk and talk? I don't know A lot of people here. You want to walk and talk? This is like I don't know there's a lot of people here. You want to go back?
Speaker 2:to my lodge. Dude, you want to come see my lodge.
Speaker 3:They made a custom coffee cup for this scene, which is pretty cool. Yeah, they made a custom coffee cup.
Speaker 5:They did. Yeah, good detail. They do a couple of custom things they do.
Speaker 3:Got some real filmographers here. Dude, it's the little things yeah, filmography.
Speaker 4:So they start talking and ben's like you know what, let's walk and talk. Uh, there's a path over here that we can take, we'll just walk down there. And so they keep walking and they get to this pavilion, um, and he's. He's basically saying like I'm so, like I'm sorry, you'll feel. You'll see that I wasn't lying and neil was like the fuck, what are you fucking talking about? He's very clearly pissed off at Ben, which I mean rightfully. So what do you mean Ben? And so he's like don't you think this is weird? And he goes what are you talking about? He goes, it feels like we're just connecting the dots. He goes, what? He's like there's something behind all of this. He goes what? Something like ghosts? The ghosts no, not ghosts, but like I just feel like we're putting, putting something together. We're following, connecting the dots, we're following the breadcrumbs, but you know what? Here I'll explain everything.
Speaker 3:And the video fucking cuts you mentioned something like this town is cursed or something like that, but it's very vague about everything oh yeah, everything is so fucking vague it's like we just gotta.
Speaker 4:And so he goes. You know what? I'll explain everything and he and the video cuts when it comes back.
Speaker 5:It's ben like finishing up his explanation and that's how elkman became elkman and well, he's like, and that's how you do it when you don't want to write content, you just put in the middle conversation and then wrap it up after it comes back yep, so that is one thing I noticed about this series is that whenever you need information, conveniently, it's it came from the journal or something, and we just don't know what the information is right, it's just, it's nothing.
Speaker 4:There's no solid like chunks to bite onto and that sucks. Um, so we get cut back and now they're walking through the forest. So you kind of assume a decent amount of time has passed for them to have him to explain everything that's gone on and then end up in the forest. Um, he kind of accepts his explanation, he goes you know what? Yeah, that makes sense, I guess there are ghosts in my blood.
Speaker 4:You're right, there are ghosts in my blood. Um, he does find out that he is, so he him appearing in the woods with amnesia is apparently tied to all the missing persons cases that have happened in the last couple of years. Um, they don't tell us why. They know that. They don't tell us how they got there, but they do know that and this is so. This is including in the missing missing persons. They do bring up Emily in their talks, or Ben brings her up Now he wants to talk about her.
Speaker 4:Right Saying that she disappeared in.
Speaker 4:October. So, for whatever reason, he's very he's fine with talking about Emily now, but that's kind of where it ends. He says that Emily went missing in October and that's all Emily now, but that's kind of where it ends. He says that Emily went missing in October and that's all we get from that, and that's where it ends. So that video is called Truth. I'll talk about her. She went missing, she's gone. All right, bye, okay. Next video we have is called Backtracking. This is exactly what it sounds like. It's Ben and Neil kind of retracing their steps.
Speaker 3:Go back to their roots.
Speaker 4:Go back to their roots, man. They revisit Emily's like where the plot of land that used to have Emily's home on it. They go back to that and it's just in ruins. It's completely torn down. Now They've been apparently the town's been working on getting rid of the rubble.
Speaker 3:They say things that normal humans say oh, 100%. What do you think happens to the land? Do you think the government takes it when there's no residents? No one says residents, you're like 19. Just say what happens to people. Where'd the fucking?
Speaker 4:people go. What the fucking happens? Where'd people?
Speaker 3:go? Where are the residents, the civilians, the citizens?
Speaker 4:Where are fucking happens people go? Where are the residents?
Speaker 2:the civilians, the citizens. Where are the human citizens? Why aren't they acting in?
Speaker 5:the small talk gets way better later on it does but it seems like they get a better camera later on too, hmm well, yeah, we get a lot of crotch views, ground views.
Speaker 4:I mean, we get to see the every step that is taken, for sure.
Speaker 2:I would walk 500 miles and I would film 500 um.
Speaker 4:So they revisit emily's or the pile of rubble with my camera pointed at the ground and that, nothing more so when they get to emily's they see that it's torn down the only thing they can. That's a little bit different. Is this like really fucking creepy looking doll sitting out in front of?
Speaker 1:where I didn't like that.
Speaker 4:Neither did neil he goes well, that's fucking unsettling, or something like that. Um, they're looking around. They don't really see much, though he's like should we look through this stuff, should we look through the rubble? And they're like no, but what?
Speaker 3:why another fucking piece of trash? I think is important to the plot.
Speaker 4:Well, there could be something here, um, but it does you know, found a brick after put in the backpack. Forest video after the video of them walking through the forest picking trash up. I guess maybe that's what they want to do here. Um, is this just community service? The analog horror? Picking up trash so after this we, they go back to. Uh, so in the in the description it says they go back to the church. Now I don't did we, did any of us explicitly say that they went to a church.
Speaker 2:Um, not no but it is mentioned.
Speaker 4:It is shown in the avant-garde video, where there's just like a bunch of shit spliced together and it's, it's, it's, it's just like the concrete bones of it. It's just there's nothing there, but I will say that the the one thing they do find. So when they go back here they explore a little bit more um upstairs, they find like a red drawn like sigil with red candles in the outer ring of it, now thick ass you ever if you've ever read anything in the lovecraft mythos or anything about rituals, witchcraft or satanism.
Speaker 4:You're doing a big summon. Oh yeah, this is definitely some kind of either summoning ritual, you know what. Let's just stick with that. That actually makes the most sense now that you say that.
Speaker 3:I summon Celtic Guardian in attack mode.
Speaker 5:Beaver.
Speaker 4:Warrior what Beaver?
Speaker 4:Warrior you heard him, but yeah, so they find the sigil. The candles are out, but the wax is definitely melted, basically alluding to the fact that this was used for something. If you're into the occult, you know it's a ritual. What the ritual's for we don't quite know, and that's where the video ends. After this we have a video called Weather's Lodge. Now, last time we were at this lodge, the back door was. Every door was locked. You couldn't get in and he um, it was chained up. This is the building with the totem pole this is where he's the dge video yes, exactly the locks the locks.
Speaker 4:You know, um it's. So this is called it's the dge video. We now find out that it's the the. The writing on the note said weatherman's Lodge and it was ripped off all the way up to the DGE in the last bit of Lodge. But the back door it's unlocked now.
Speaker 5:Neil's arch nemesis has been removed B&E.
Speaker 4:Are you guys ready for it, because we're doing a.
Speaker 3:B&E. Well, we have our chance Go.
Speaker 4:They do so, Neil and Ben. Apparently, according to the description of this video, they do not remember anything after walking through the doors. They stand outside for a minute. They look at all the different things that are just gathered right outside the door. They start talking about it and then they notice the door's unlocked Can.
Speaker 3:I make one subtle um point to this that I don't think means anything, but I, I'm gonna bring it up later. It's mike's not gonna enjoy he finds a jar of what looks like jar purple jam it looks like blueberry yeah, I was gonna say what do you think that's flavored like? Is that blueberry syrup?
Speaker 5:and he's just like huh weird, puts it down blueberry cum why is that there?
Speaker 4:don't't know who's making pancakes. Hopefully it's food and it will be labeled as such.
Speaker 1:Anyway.
Speaker 4:I'm so happy that only four of us at this point in time. Find that funny.
Speaker 2:I don't know why I find it funny, but I do.
Speaker 4:So they unlock the door, door, and apparently so remember this. Apparently, after they entered this door, they don't remember anything that happened while they were inside. All they remember is opening the door, a giant black spot, and then they were in their car driving away. That's all they remember. However, in the footage they go up to the roof, they explore around the inside, they comment on how fucking horrible it smells. Um, they go up to the roof, they explore around the inside, they comment on how fucking horrible it smells. And when they get up to the roof, they find it looks like a Phantom of the Opera mask, like, legitimately just straight from Phantom of the Opera. It's just part of the face black.
Speaker 2:Or it's an Eyes Wide Shut mask.
Speaker 4:Oh, or it is my God. I have not thought about that orgy scene in a long time.
Speaker 2:What kind of cultish has been going on here?
Speaker 4:The eyes wide shut kind the whole video ends with. So it shows this master walking around the roof and at one point in time they look there in this building or in this room in the building and it's it looks kind of like the very top um, where the like the point of the roof meets almost like the attic and they're exploring it. They go to the roof what cuts? Back to ben in this room pointing at something going. What is that? And the video just fucking cuts. Not gonna lie, that piqued my interest. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck that is what I thought was very funny about this.
Speaker 3:Um, so they find that phantom of the opera mask and he's like do you think this is something? And he was just like nah, I think that's just garbage. It looks like something from someone's halloween uh, like costume why is it up there? You were in the forest picking up like old cigarette. But is this something like? Is this something? Meanwhile, you find a mask while you're being chased by people with masks and you're like probably not probably unrelated is that? Yeah, is that a half-eaten sandwich? Bne um constitutes evidence mask.
Speaker 4:No, I need the like the rubric I need the fucking sheet with their criteria mcdonald's fry pack.
Speaker 3:yeah, now that put that in the backpack, does the school?
Speaker 2:wide-ruled notebook ever come back up again? No.
Speaker 4:Holy shit. No, I don't think it does.
Speaker 2:That's the first piece of evidence they ever find, except for the flash drive and the SD card.
Speaker 4:I think he's holding it again at one point, but they don't really reference it. Yeah, I don't think that comes up, but that's the end of this video, the weather's lodge video. After this we're gonna get a video called fishing day another, again, another one of these dudes just want to fuck matt. Don't even bother with the video because literally it's just ben and neil walking by a lake. Neil then goes to explore a building used to go fishing, Ben didn't Well actually this is relevant later.
Speaker 2:The immediate video doesn't matter, but it does matter.
Speaker 4:This video matters later, but it does not right now.
Speaker 3:I used to go fishing all the time my grandpa here. Oh yeah, Was it fun. That was like the best time of my life. You know we should go fishing sometime, man. Oh yeah, That'd be fun, I would.
Speaker 4:I got my fishing rod with me.
Speaker 3:I got my rod.
Speaker 5:We both have our rods here. What, what? What's the? That's a coincidence.
Speaker 4:Um, but yeah, so it's literally. It's just a conversation between Ben and Eddie, or, uh, ben um. Neil then goes to like check out this building um, throughout this entire video they see somebody first, so that happens.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right, I'm sorry yes not to make light of it.
Speaker 3:But yeah, ben's like oh yeah, this is a very important spot to me. I used to go fishing with my grandpa here all the time no 100% no, no, we're making light of it, yeah yeah fuck his grandpa fuck his grandpa not
Speaker 5:like no, yeah, fuck his grandpa.
Speaker 2:Kiss, fuck his grandpa, not like no, yeah, fuck his grandpa.
Speaker 1:Kiss your dad and fuck Ben's grandpa.
Speaker 3:I want to have sex with his grandpa. That's what we're saying. We're just beating around the bush here.
Speaker 4:But yeah, so I'm sorry. Yes, neil does see someone and he starts walking over to the building and turns around and sees that Ben didn't follow and then, starts running at ben and then that's where the video ends. That's the, that's the whole thing, yeah the next one's called ben is gone.
Speaker 4:Ben was gone then ben's back. Now ben's gone. Um, literally, this is a video of it's from neil's perspective. He gets out of his car, ben pulls up in his car, says where's the journal? Give it to me. They go back and forth for a second. Neil eventually gives ben the journal and ben then throws something at neil before driving away. And neil is confused lovers quarrel, that's the whole fucking video and he just starts screaming what the fuck quarrel? Lovers quarrel turned ugly.
Speaker 5:I'm gonna need you to say it happier and with your mouth way more open thank you, doug ben's whole demeanor changes you know, oh yeah, oh, it's like he's not ben anymore yeah, that's wild.
Speaker 3:I hope he'll be labeled as Ben later.
Speaker 4:I'm sure there'll be some kind of labeling system that will tell us Give me the book and he's just like fine.
Speaker 3:So what does he do at the end? Because he goes back to the car and he throws something back at.
Speaker 4:Neil.
Speaker 3:Does he throw the book back at him? Or what does he throw at him? It's a journal.
Speaker 2:I think, no, because Ben takes off with the journal, puts it in the journal, ben throws even the comments like what did he give you?
Speaker 3:it's like a wadded.
Speaker 4:It's like something wrapped in, like a piece of paper yeah, yeah, it looked like something throw something, yeah angrily at him. He's like it's like wrapping paper, like card, like that. We find it matt.
Speaker 2:It's a packing paper yeah, it's like brown, yeah wrapping paper then there's something in it I'm assuming. Yeah, I don.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's like brown packing paper and there's something in it I'm assuming. Yeah, I don't know, it's flat, though what does he say? He's like we can't decipher it without Pat, yeah.
Speaker 4:They make a mention about Pat saying we can't do anything without him, and then says give me the journal.
Speaker 2:Give me the journal Not to make fun of this passion project that people obviously put a lot of effort into too much but the bit where neil is like fuck what the fuck is like his best bit of acting up to this point.
Speaker 3:He was going for that. I didn't mention it. He sells it real hard.
Speaker 2:He's like what the?
Speaker 4:fuck. Oh yeah, you know he did a great job, but but I will say yes, up to this point the acting has been fucking abysmal.
Speaker 5:I will say in that episode or in that video it's been driving away so, so slowly for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean he's driving his grandma's camera. You know, that's probably all I can do.
Speaker 3:If you look, I think this shows how young they might be. If you look on the back of the camera, there's a bumper sticker. I think it's a student driver bumper sticker. Oh God.
Speaker 4:You know that tracks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm almost positive. It's a little yellow sticker with black text on it. I think it's a student driver.
Speaker 2:I don't know. They're late teenagers at the youngest. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, they're either fresh out of high school or something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, either fresh out of high school or like real early college.
Speaker 4:I was probably like yeah, like 19 or 20 I think yeah probably um, but yeah, that's the whole um ben is gone video. I thought there was gonna be more to that, but no, definitely not the bumper sticker says mystery spot.
Speaker 2:I don't know what that means.
Speaker 5:It's probably one of those fucking tourist attractions where you stand in sideways when you're standing straight and bowling balls go up instead of down when you roll. That kind of fucking place.
Speaker 4:Yeah, rulia, yeah. So after that, what was the last one we just did? Oh right, I'm sorry. Uh, ben is gone, we have next one we have eddie's memories, dot mov um this is I didn't know who was filming this at first. I'm assuming it's from the point of view of eddie or of like the, or the content that you're seeing is of Eddie, right, first thing that we see it it's basically a third viewpoint of, I want to say, ben and Eddie. Hey, look, it's that shirt.
Speaker 2:What yeah, this is the shirt.
Speaker 3:Eddie, that's being, yeah, the first thing, we see is Eddie.
Speaker 2:He's wearing the shirt.
Speaker 4:Thatdie, that's being yeah, the first thing you see is eddie. He's wearing the shirt that was found. Yes, after that, we get a like a wide view of this warehouse and you see ben and neil kind of like walking towards it. Um, I don't know when this was filmed, because it seems like he is standing four feet away from them like he's like what. Very well, and if this, if this was supposed to be like they don't know, I'm filming, I that that was not communicated to me at all. Um, it seems like both neil and ben know, absolutely that is, that eddie is there the only thing this is missing to me is like the heavy stalker, breathing where it's like oh yeah, 100.
Speaker 2:Well, it's made apparent that that eddie knows who neil is, and literally the next shot, so yeah 100, um.
Speaker 4:So we then get a video of two people playing a guitar, and those people are neil and eddie. Um, they are. They're just jamming on guitar and at one point they break to say something I could not make this out. How many, how many times I listened to it. I don't know if it was, how tired I was or if it was, how terrible the volume is. There's some value, but I have no idea who they're talking about. Are they talking about ben? I don't know. They say they mentioned something. They mentioned somebody is going through an initiation and that they're actually joining. And they mentioned like, yeah, you know what, they will probably have fun. And then it's right back to playing guitar and the song ends um. So after that we get a very, very last cut of somebody walking around a warehouse um, pretty empty, pretty nothing judging by past stuff.
Speaker 3:Part of me wants to think, because it is hard to understand what they're talking about. I think they're talking about um, I want to say emily, just because emily so far says he oh I'm gonna say she's so far disappeared.
Speaker 5:They say he though this was the thing that I was gonna ask about. Is uh, neil just met ben as? Far as he knows, yes, but ben, as far as we know, just met neil as well as far as he's letting on, yes, right so, like I don't know, there's questions that are afoot 100 right this is kind of where I started to.
Speaker 2:That are sort of answered later, I think. Kind of this is around, never explicitly ben and neil like.
Speaker 4:Ben like knew that. He knew Neil from beforehand but was not willing to share. This is like when I started guessing that maybe that could be happening, but we don't know yet, no idea. Oh yeah, the warehouse that they, that we see the first person view of the interior of is and we're assuming it's the exact same warehouse that we watched Ben and Eddie walk into. But that's the end of this video. After this one we get one called tour the trauma, or door of trauma anxiety, or, in French, the store.
Speaker 3:What is this door?
Speaker 4:door it's literally, literally translated. It is door of and then a feeling of existential dread, anxiety and terribleness.
Speaker 2:But what would you call that? And what would you call those? Some of the shots in this video jason I would call them very avant-garde, matt my boy my guy gets it, dude, yeah making fun of mike's. Back on the menu, boys.
Speaker 3:Hey, wait, you're making fun of me this whole time.
Speaker 2:Oh, Always was Laughing along with Mike is back on the menu boys.
Speaker 4:So we go to Tour de Traum or, from what I'm understanding, door of Trauma, and, honestly, after watching the rest, it makes sense, um, the trauma door. We sealed. Neil uh entering the same warehouse as we saw in the last video, um, except this time. One of the first things I noticed is that, uh, that all of us should notice is that there's a white sigil on the floor with candles in it that looks very similar to the red sigil we saw at uh church. You do be seeing these sigils, whoa, it's all connected.
Speaker 4:It was not there in the last video, I will say that, but now it is. As he exits, he walks out and he sees someone by a tree in the distance who turns and runs away, and Neil just books it after him Fucking claps, cheeks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you don't like shaky cam, this is not your series.
Speaker 4:Fuck. No, it's a lot. Imagine watching this in VR.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 4:No, no, no, you just have a seizure. Yeah, that's called seizure simulator.
Speaker 2:Then the Cloverfield monster shows up.
Speaker 4:That's shaky cam too. So by the time Neil gets to the tree after he's running after his uh, his mystery man, um sees that no one's there, although he does start filming the tree, and I will say, as soon as he pans over like the top portion of the tree, you start getting these glitch effects and like a lens flare effect, um it's almost like that happens when he's in a significant location almost like those glitches mean something a very slow post effect glitch, uh, uh, effect goes on.
Speaker 3:It's really weird, it's very strange it's very
Speaker 4:um, so no one's there when neil gets there, but the glitch effect happens when he looks at the upper part of the tree and to me that suggests that there's something in the tree. Um, then we glitch, cut back to a dark room or house or something, we're not quite sure, and we fade to a video of the shore and the waves rolling up and we see a lighthouse and we get a cut to somebody walking up on a lighthouse. Um, outdoor it, it's just, it's quick cut shots. Um, somebody's walking around outdoor at night. There's creepy sounds. Uh, we don't know who's walking. I mean, again, I'm assuming this is neil, because neil's been the only one really recording up until, uh, assumedly, when eddie was recording, when we saw neil and ben in frame. Um, so neil's walking around this field. We hear these really creepy sounds. Uh, we learned that it's somebody playing guitar and as they get closer, a light turns on and shines directly on where neil is walking and he kind of gets freaked what I thought was happening here was it was like outside a concert that's what I thought too yeah, that's what it seems
Speaker 4:like when it first started happening, like it looks like it's in a field right, or like in a big open space yeah, because he films a fence at some point. Yeah, there's a fence, it's super dark and you hear like you definitely hear the very beginning. It just sounds like some kind of like atmospheric track, but then you learn that it's somebody playing guitar. I just couldn't tell you what song is being played and then that's the end of that video. Next we get one called, so I'm gonna go quick, quick, quick for the last three. Next one we get is called the lighthouse, and this is just Neil walking into a building with a strobing light. He exits this doorway to see, like this blue flashing light we cut to some more avant-garde filmmaking, um and shows neil just looking around the outside of a lighthouse, scattered with different bits of static oh yeah, the first part where he walks through that door.
Speaker 4:Holy fuck, it's very creepy. Um, the rest is very hard to make out until you get to the lighthouse portion. You see him like looking around up in the sky. There's this blue light. It looks like a street light, but it's. It starts like flashing at some point. But yeah, once we get to the actual lighthouse portion, it's very, very grainy. Uh, and it's very, very grainy. We get very, very static. We get intermittent static with Emily, like that video of Emily that we saw earlier in the background of it. But that's all we got at the lighthouse. The next one's called how Long has it Been?
Speaker 3:And the first thing we see is just Neil's face being manhandled, yeah, he's just kind of like.
Speaker 4:And then we find out that he's that Neil is making a video for Ben to help him trust Neil again and he goes oh, by the way, the whole thing is Thomas's fault. Fuck you, thomas.
Speaker 3:Just a heads up yeah, fuck that guy.
Speaker 4:Fuck that guy, thomas.
Speaker 3:That's the one thing I've noticed with this series so far is they bring in a lot of names that seem to be important to the plot, but it's the first time you've heard of this person, oh yeah, and they've given a lot of information to our main characters. There's a point, I believe in some like conversation before, where they're just like well, heather was telling us about pat and how he got uh, she got him the notes, or whatever. I'm like who the fuck is heather, who the fuck is pat? What's these notes?
Speaker 2:I will be perfectly up front. This is the point where I start losing the plot a bit.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, you figure out who these people are on the Twitter and on the Instagram. Oh, baby cop, that's what I'm getting, don't?
Speaker 4:take.
Speaker 3:Jason's moment away. I'll go back. I'll go back.
Speaker 4:Motherfucker. So he makes this video and he's talking about how it's Thomas's fault and he says he says it's you know what, Ben. I'm so sorry, it's my problem, I have to deal with it, I have to see it through and then we get a cut to the tiniest police officer. That has ever existed.
Speaker 2:He's wearing a hoodie.
Speaker 3:He's wearing a hoodie and jeans.
Speaker 4:It's literally hoodie, jeans and then a way too big officer's cap, like in uniform officer's cap standing outside a hotel.
Speaker 2:This is I don't give a fuck who actually this is baby cop this is my favorite thing that's ever happened in an unfiction series that we've watched oh yeah I had to pause this and like study and be like.
Speaker 4:Is this supposed to be a cop?
Speaker 2:my favorite things in any unfiction ever are number two, front lawn face down.
Speaker 4:Yes, number one baby cop, baby cop, like holy shit. Like I will say, the job was done correctly because I did, by the end of this, even with no dialogue, understand that this was supposed to be a police officer, which is fucking incredible like that by itself is incredible to me, because what is that?
Speaker 5:I'm like don't even wear that hat unless it's like a special, like occasion right, like one of their fucking friends died or something.
Speaker 3:That's what you wear that you don't wear that just outside a hotel.
Speaker 4:You know, he's just got jeans, he's just he there? I don't know.
Speaker 1:So he gives it to you.
Speaker 4:So the baby cop gets the suitcases and he literally goes whack, whack and walks off screen. Neil gets back in the car. What was the S for? What was the S for? Is it like a test? If it turned, blue is it cocaine.
Speaker 3:This is my favorite baby cop Dude.
Speaker 4:I forgot everything that happened Up until this point, when I saw that I was like what I thought for a minute, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3:Are there any?
Speaker 5:comments on this video. What's the comment on this video? I did not care at all For this entire series Until I saw baby cop Fucking
Speaker 4:in baby. Anything about baby cop? I did not care at all for this entire series. There's several, until I saw Baby Cop. There's several comments Fucking in baby. Anything about Baby Cop. That's really what we're looking for. No, what.
Speaker 2:Who are you people? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, never mind, never mind, never mind. This person does say finally, damn boy, that hat thick.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 4:God Once.
Speaker 3:I thought I was out baby cop drew me back.
Speaker 4:Oh my god it re-bolstered my interest. I need, like I need, to know what this person's about, and I hope he comes back when he's all grown up?
Speaker 2:are we certain this is actually a cop?
Speaker 3:no, no, but he, we know but, what else is he? Yes, because we see him again later.
Speaker 4:Yeah, in the future yeah, as of right now, though I guess it's not apparent no, the hat gives it away. But he could be faking it.
Speaker 3:I think he might be faking it yeah, um, what I was trying to say before baby cop real quick is they bring in a lot of characters that seem important and give a lot of information to our main characters, but they are never talked about, ever. No, in the youtube videos, which is like the main. That's where you find place, where the story is. Which is weird to me heather is, I don't think, ever brought up who the fuck she is in those videos. Oh god, no, I don't think pat ever is. I don't think any. Uh, eddie barely is. Thomas never is. You have to find that on the twitter, and even the twitter or the Instagram gives you not that much information on them as, and especially, information as to how they got information on the plot.
Speaker 4:So part two is coming. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, part of three, because I don't know if part two will clear anything up. So, yeah, baby, cop that like that. That was my favorite fucking part of this whole thing. Fuck, where am I Right, neil, handing a suitcase to a tiny police officer?
Speaker 3:You have the right to remain silent.
Speaker 4:You have the right to remain silent.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, I'm just a little baby.
Speaker 4:Put your hands on my neck very ending, very last part of this. After baby cop comes in and just reinvigorates all of us. Uh, we get ben and neil discussing where to investigate next and apparently that place is the place where people go missing, and then they they show mountains in a direction, but they say well, that's where the people go missing over there, that's over there.
Speaker 4:That's where they go yeah, if they don't come back, obviously, but that's the very sorry. The very last thing we see is very, very dark footage and then a bunch of staticky cam with some antlers just a pair of antlers antlers just a pair of antlers. Just a pair of antlers. I think we saw that once before. Very, very briefly, but not enough to make it stick. Last video I have is called Will you Remember? And this is.
Speaker 2:What do you remember?
Speaker 4:Sorry, what do you remember? Will you remember? Starts off with Neil and a man with antlers staring at each other Mantlers one might say oh right, the antler man Mantlers.
Speaker 3:Mantlers.
Speaker 1:Thank you, Doug, for that.
Speaker 4:Mantlers and Neil are staring at each other and Mantlers just puts his hand out, His fucking hand out, like this and it's just so it's just spread out, it's just so spread.
Speaker 5:It's just like lock them. Lock them with me.
Speaker 4:Yeah, lock them After we see this. It cuts real quick to oh fuck, where'd I go. Cuts real quick to Neil explaining that he's in his car again and he's explained that Ben has been missing once again for several months. At this point, antlerman also gives him a necklace.
Speaker 3:That's later.
Speaker 4:That's the very end.
Speaker 3:Oh is it.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:That's why I was saving it. Stay in your lane, Mike.
Speaker 4:Yeah, also, this is where everything pays off. So he's in the car and he's explaining that Ben's been missing for months and apparently is at the Crestwell Care Center and apparently Neil had remembered what he was doing before all of this, but he can't explain it. He does share. There was a note from Ben saying he found something, but he doesn't know when he'll be back. There's something he said mentioned something about the uh, the dovewood um reservoir and dam, and ben said that he had a lead and he found a journal. Uh, m's journal is what I heard now. When I first saw this I thought he meant emily's journal but no, that's because this isn't explained at fucking all not at all.
Speaker 4:I do now remember the m at the very front of the journal in the ben is gone video um that he and then throws that brown package at him. Yeah, it's, it's just an m. Um found her diary. He found a diary or a journal with an m on it and he also found it was sitting next to a jar of blueberry syrup marked not food. Oh my god, so we do get the label and it is not food.
Speaker 4:Yeah, apparently apparently, yeah, don't eat. The next one we get is uh neil uh showing up at this uh crestwell care center and he's talking with ben, who can't remember anything after going in the lodge this is the same center that ed's mom got admitted to, right?
Speaker 2:yes, yep same center.
Speaker 4:Um, and he's apparently. Ben doesn't remember anything after the lodge, aside from a bit of fuzzy memories of him by the lake. Do they say how long ben's been there yet? No, is that later?
Speaker 2:if they did, I didn't hear it because he he says I know they four or five months, something like six months, they say I, oh you know what?
Speaker 4:yeah, because he uh, neil mentioned at the beginning that he's been gone for months and when they go there he does give a timeline a little bit. You're right After revealing that he doesn't really remember much. Ben does end up giving Neil a note and it says there's some coordinates on it. He goes. I can't do much for me here.
Speaker 2:Also, why does this care center straight up look like a prison block?
Speaker 4:It's a delinquent center or something like that. Very last thing we see in this video is Mantlers giving Neil what looks like a necklace.
Speaker 3:Nice little touch that I like to make it look creepier is they just had the footage reversed of him grabbing it.
Speaker 5:I like that a lot, actually it wasn't just reversed, it was going backwards and forwards.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you see Lots of the avant-garde shots in this are really good.
Speaker 4:There's some cool cinematography. The creativity is abound, but I will say that is the end of the what Do you Remember? Video and unfortunately, everybody. We have talked way too long.
Speaker 3:We sure have. That's why it's's gonna be a part dos dose part don't worry, baby cop will make an appearance, oh yes, make sure to come back, don't watch the next part just so you're nice and confused stream watches don't go anywhere, like Matt said, because we're gonna keep this going, but this may be weird, because if you're on Spotify, you'll see us in one week's time.
