Speaker 1:Matt. But if you were to do any type of big edit, just put a big old fart noise right there.
Speaker 3:I edit them. Sometimes I go in and cut out when we say real stupid shit and when we take bathroom breaks for like five minutes. I almost forgot to cut a bathroom break out of the last one, and I had even rendered it out and uploaded it and I was like, wait a second.
Speaker 1:Hold on 20 minutes too long. If you do anything to this one, just put a big old wet fart noise right there.
Speaker 2:If you could also edit like a poop, like just like flying across the screen, holy shit, it's been a minute.
Speaker 1:I'm very upset at myself, though, boys, because I, before you came over, I did plan on wearing my wedding suit, and I completely forgot about it. I'm very disappointed in myself. Because it would have been a little on theme as well.
Speaker 3:Why? What does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 1:It's a suit. Anything it's a suit, and what the man wears, it would have been but we'll get to that in a little bit. Before we get there again, I just want to say I just want to take a minute and say 200 episodes, god damn we did it free ones, 200 free ones.
Speaker 4:5 years we've been doing this shit, 5 years.

Speaker 4:Holy shit.

Speaker 4:Give your grandparents a Nigerian prince. I know that sounds not like what I'm intending it to be. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1:Don't give us any money unless you want to, but I just just thank you everyone listening. Super awesome that we made it 200 episodes. Hell yeah, I did not think we'd make it this far. I thought for sure, we would have probably killed each other by now.
Speaker 4:I thought we've gotten. That's what I thought.
Speaker 1:We've gotten close.
Speaker 4:A couple. Oh yeah, we know each other a little too well, but that's okay, we've approached the line, and then we just, you know, and we fucked each other on it.
Speaker 2:Yep exactly.
Speaker 3:We just hate, fucked, and then we got over it.
Speaker 4:We got over it, it's fine.
Speaker 1:To quote Batman we all looked into the abyss, the only difference between you and me. You blinked.
Speaker 2:That was so cringy dude.
Speaker 1:That was like really cringy, I thought you were gonna be like I thought you were gonna be like to quote Batman. I'm Batman to quote Batman. To quote Batman why do we fall? To get back up, batman begin.
Speaker 4:So that's the only reason we fall this is the dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard eh, whatever Batman begin, so that's. The only reason we fall is so we can get Alfred.
Speaker 1:This is dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard whatever alright that's enough about Batman one small thing if we do do, if we do do an episode, a bonus episode tonight, I need one of y'all to remind me. I do want to talk about how Batman does have superpowers, and it's stupid when people say he doesn't just circle back to that in the bonus. If we do it tonight, okay, anyway, so we're going to go into it in a huge thigh.
Speaker 1:Housekeeping. We got some people I'm going to shout out a super extra cool person that's totally listening right now and I totally didn't make fun of the name and I love them the most.

Speaker 3:It literally feels like we just did this two months ago.
Speaker 2:I know right it literally yes, that Time flies when you're full of cum. Nine months ago was a couple months ago. Honestly Time a couple months ago.
Speaker 1:honestly, Time flies when you're full of anxiety and fun.
Speaker 4:And cum Anxiety and cum.
Speaker 2:Anyway, it feels like it was yesterday, matt, I fully agree. That concludes housekeeping.
Speaker 1:No, it doesn't Boys. Something very weird was happening at my house the other day so I heard this weird buzzing coming from my concrete walls. It was very weird.
Speaker 1:I hear there were concrete walls and I thought yes, there are concrete walls that are buzzing and it was very strange to me because I was like what the fuck is happening. So I dug into the walls a little bit right, I made a hole, it was very weird. And on the other side of that hole there's this big old slab of marble and I was like why is this buzzing? So I this big old slab of marble and I was like why is this buzzing? So I cracked that marble open and guess what came out?
Speaker 1:a bunch of bees dude, it was fucking weird. It was fucking weird, but you know what didn't come out? Hornets the film crew.
Speaker 4:Troy has a camera, we're not doing marble hornets, today anyway cicada 33.
Speaker 2:I was going to say that A bunch of cicadas came out. We got a surprise for you all for 200. We're over.
Speaker 4:It's our last episode, no we're covering Marble Hornets today.
Speaker 1:Yep, For our 200th. We want to do something relatively big.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I hear these guys just started releasing videos too literally so that's something we might get into in part two.
Speaker 1:This is a two part series, but, yeah, we're kind of releasing this at the best time for fans of Marble Hornets because the creators are spoiler. They're making a new series and it's coming out in August, so that's kind of cool. They put out a trailer like a month ago, coming out in August, so that's kind of cool. They put out a trailer like a month ago or something They've actually done more than I thought.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I had no idea the scope of the stuff that these guys did. Yeah, so digging into it how we're doing this.
Speaker 1:One is there's there's so much to marble horn, it's so many videos, so much everything. And for the 200th we all kind of agreed we didn't want to do just your generic like we're gonna break down every video, video by video by video. A lot, a lot, a lot of. We kind of wanted to summarize the story and then just have a gen like general, genuine conversation and just talk about Marple Hornets, because this is a huge influence for everything I hate on the internet everything I hate about the internet, but they did it
Speaker 1:at a time when it was cool and new and fresh and now it's overdone. But they were the first to do it. But we're just gonna get through the summary of the story and then just have a general conversation about Marble Hornets and how fun it is and honestly, we may not have a podcast here now if it wasn't for fucking marble hornets you're not wrong, you're not. So yeah, you're not, so I didn't actually hate this you're not gonna hear a bunch of vision.
Speaker 3:It's not one of those.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, obviously this is one of the the big boys, the the popular ones, and uh, there's a reason. Yeah, 100 there's a reason.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 100% there's a reason there is, and if any of you from Marble Hornets are listening, please message us and send me your autograph, okay anyway, do you boys want to set up Alex and? Do you boys kind of want to get into this a little bit? No, I think we should just stop talking about it, alright well, right well.
Speaker 4:Anyway, cicadas are coming everyone.
Speaker 1:So we start off with this big old cicada and it's like wham in your face.
Speaker 3:And it's just beating off.
Speaker 1:Too many cicadas, one would say.
Speaker 4:So there's 3,000 cicadas all dick out, and there's one cicada without his dick out. Cicadas all dick out and there's one cicada without his dick out.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Oh shit.
Speaker 4:I'm going to drink to that one. It's up to you to find out which one it is.
Speaker 1:Do you boys want me to kind of fucking get into this shit?
Speaker 3:Yeah, dude, what are we drinking?
Speaker 4:There's a bottle here and it's mostly full.
Speaker 1:Maker's Mark. I have Jimmy John's Coke.
Speaker 3:Hell yeah.
Speaker 1:I won't be touching.
Speaker 2:I wasn't going to drink, and now I want to drink, but I probably won't.
Speaker 3:I never do, but I thought for $200 I would get me some Pass Blue Ribbon Light. Oh fuck, dude watching the. I never do, but I thought for $200 I would get me some past blue ribbon light.
Speaker 1:Oh fuck.
Speaker 2:You're really fucking treating yourself bud.
Speaker 3:It's almost water.
Speaker 1:It's piss water, it's spicy water.
Speaker 3:I was dehydrated, but I wanted a little treat.
Speaker 1:That's why you bought your marathon fucking 128 ounce.
Speaker 2:You should just put the Pabst in the cup.
Speaker 3:Actually it was just soda.
Speaker 4:Let's just criticize everything about Matt's room.
Speaker 1:Let's do whatever we can, whatever we can find. Sick turtle, bro, you got some dust on your speaker back there.
Speaker 3:Let's get into this, shall we? Somebody's listening to this and is just very angry that we keep.
Speaker 1:Content starts at 20 minutes. Start the episode. Let's dive into Marble Hornet. Can you fucking go?
Speaker 2:Marble penis. Do it.
Speaker 1:We start our story, like every story, in the beginning, at the beginning. In the beginning, there were dinosaurs. We are greeted by jay. Jay has uploaded raw footage from his friend alex crayley's student film called marble hornets. Jay goes on to tell us about how stressful the filming of this movie was over the three-month period they filmed. Near the end of production of the film, alex stopped production. When asked what to do with the tapes, alex said Burn them. Burn them Instead. Jay took them home and after three years of no contact with Alex, he uploads the tapes to YouTube. The tapes didn't have any type of date or numbers to them, um, so he just kind of uploaded them and we went from there just a blind upload.
Speaker 1:This is the story thus far. I want a little irish there. That's far, so thus far. Our first introductions to this film are a clip of Alex with no audio. It seems like he is frantically looking outside of his house. It seems to be taking place in his actual home. He's looking outside of the window of his house and you see this figure in a suit with just a blank, pale face on his front porch and it's just sitting there. Now it might be because this shit took place. It was recorded 15 years ago. It all takes place in 2006 too, by the way.
Speaker 3:It takes place in 2006, but it was uploaded in 2009.
Speaker 1:Yeah, uploaded in 2009. May have something to do with how shitty YouTube's upload quality was back in the day, but boy, howdy, is it kind of a spooky imagery. It's spooky imagery, imagery. It's just this weird thing sitting standing on the porch, not moving, like it's posing for a photograph kind of, and it's. It's very unsettling and I think the low quality of it all really adds to it. It's like when you watch 28 days later and it's like, oh, that's shot on like a fucking Tamagotchi yeah, tamagotchi.
Speaker 4:It's like yeah, that adds to it.
Speaker 1:It adds some realism to it.
Speaker 2:I like that A Tamagotchi.
Speaker 1:Tamagotchi. So we see this figure in a suit on his front porch. Just before this eerie scene, we discover that Alex was out walking his dog when he came across a tall, skinny man standing under some streetlights. When Alex went back in his car to see the man, the man was gone. He was no longer under said streetlights. Videos now show Alex proceeding to go to a playground where there is a swing that is just kind of swinging on its own Kind of creepy. This causes some panic to come over Alex as he goes to run. We get a shot of a tall, skinny figure in a suit that just kind of goes right across the screen.
Speaker 4:Can I mention what this kind of looks like to me? You know, in the cartoons the older cartoons, when it shows a robber, the mask and they're trying to be sneaky. It kind of looks like this thing was just doing that.
Speaker 1:It did kind of have that vibe to it. I'm with you, it's like a doll. They're just kind of.
Speaker 4:Like the beginning of film, like that Arrow's rendition of a villain the wax mustache yeah, I'm walking across that parking playground, jay, um.
Speaker 1:So after this encounter, uh, we then discover some tapes of alex acting pretty paranoid. Um, it seems that he has taken to filming himself more than his co-stars. At this point we get get flashbacks to the night Alex saw the man on his porch and now he is, instead of just peered out his window, he's like running around his house. He kind of books it away from his window and into the living room where we see the man walking from window to window. The man even stops to peer inside Alex's home at one point.
Speaker 2:I just say that is like one of the creepiest fucking scenes in this whole thing.
Speaker 4:It's fucking creepy, because the thing is like he's going to bend down into the window to look at him. You're just like what the fuck?
Speaker 1:It's so eerie. It's at this point, though, that the text that keeps popping up on screen lets us know that something is following Alex, if that wasn't fucking obvious. Our next entry gives us some footage of Alex and Jay scouting for locations to film for their film. They come across a giant red structure that Alex claims was once a rock climbing wall. Other tapes show Alex filming with Brian, who is our lead actor in the Marvel Hornets film. They are filming a scene in a car where they're just kind of going over dialogue and just recording lines for their movie. The scene ends and, as Brian happily asks if they're done filming, alex, with a terrified sound in his voice, says Yep, we're done, and starts the car and takes off frantically. We are then given more raw footage of the Marble Hornets film.
Speaker 1:We have another cast member that has introduced Tim. We're also introduced to this other lady that he is filmed with, but they go without a name for quite some time. So Tim and this lady are filming a scene and Alex keeps stopping them, stating that they're not doing that great of a job and that they're acting is pretty shit. Alex is straight up, just like they're. At one point they're like oh man, you know that's real nice of you to give us all this criticism. You know you're not even paying us. He's like yeah, why would I? Why would I pay you? He's like yeah, why would I pay you, why would I pay for this?
Speaker 4:They're just like, wow, real cool. I was watching this on our living room TV and Kelly was doing something just relaxing and at one point she just looks at me and she goes okay, I can't. This guy's a asshole, I can't be in here for this. The acting here is not good. It's fine for what it is. However, however, I will say, in this portion of the video, I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be bad yeah, yeah, because it's it's meta.
Speaker 3:Bro, the acting is bad because it's it's actors you wouldn't get it in a production, bro acting also, do we really need to say man in suit? I mean I, we can just say what he is it's slender man. We all know it by now well, some people may not know what marble horn is.
Speaker 1:It's, it's slendy boy it's the skinny gentleman himself. You'll probably.
Speaker 2:You'll probably hear us refer to it as something else soon.
Speaker 3:I don't remember when that first starts to be fair, but yeah, I think it comes up in my next section okay, we're just gonna call him the skinny gentleman also so in this, the scene where they're filming in the car and they're talking before he freaks out, you can 100% see him in the background, standing on the deck behind Brian's head. That's why he oh yeah yeah, so. I did.
Speaker 1:I did leave out some things because I tried to just summarize most of the main plot points, but there is a lot that we're not going to do justice, because there is a lot of visual flair to this. Oh yeah, like you can see this skinny gentleman figure In a lot of videos, in the background of a lot of videos, like the one where they're talking about they're like looking for locations to film it.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They're talking about the giant red tower. The other glitches film about the giant red tower. I'm I'm.
Speaker 3:It's not a glitch, but I'm like 98 positive. You can see slenderman behind a tree. I think that's intentional. I think you're supposed to get so paranoid. That you're like is that? Right, because there's like there's shots where I'm like I can't tell if that white dot right there is his head or not same yeah, like you get like one of the fucking glitch outs of the, the camera going over, and you're like oh wait, was he there?
Speaker 1:Did I see it? There is a whole breakdown you can look at that shows you every sighting that he's in. I think it's better going into it blind and just having the paranoia take over, just like is that fucking him? Is that him? Is that him? I like that. We'll get into it later. But there's a video where someone I like that. We'll get into it later, but there's a. There's a video where someone like has a camera and they pan away and they're like, oh fuck, I saw him and I'm just like was he? Was he there? And like I can't tell if he was fucking there or not.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, I love that Mike was messaging us to be like okay, I'm going insane, can, because I don't know if I can.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was pretty great. I had to like look it up, I'm like, yeah, that's confirmed, that is him. Yeah.
Speaker 1:But yeah, again, go watch the series because there's a lot of that. That's. My favorite type of horror is the background horror and the shit that you wouldn't pick up at first glance. So watch it because it's full of that shit, Anyway.
Speaker 2:I don't know if Mike mentioned I mean it's. I think it goes without saying this is technically season one that we're covering right now.
Speaker 4:Yes, yes yes, yes, yeah there's a, there's a few seasons of this, so yeah we'll let you know in the when the breaks between them happen and if there's anything worth pointing out. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Anyway. So again, alex at this point is getting very frustrated with the crew. He's blaming them at, you know, and their dialogue, instead of of blaming the script and how it's not written right or something. He's getting pissed at another member for bringing their dog. He's even going so far as to criticize the acting talents of his friends, all in all, being a real jerk about it, man. Let me tell you what.
Speaker 1:As more videos are uploaded, we get footage of Alex drawing on some notepads. These notepads contain drawings of the figure that he's been seeing, along with words such as help and he sees, and things like that. This is followed up by a few things. We get a clip of Alex running frantically through the woods. It's pitch black out and he's got his flashlight In the deep of the woods. He stops to look around. Only after hearing the snapping of some sticks and twigs does he turn around to see the skinny gentleman himself looming in the distance. He runs away only for the figure to be right behind him every time he turns.
Speaker 1:The eeriness now continues as we are shown a video of Alex in his house, in his bed. He wakes up anxiously to search his house. He doesn't find anything. He checks out the windows, he turns on the lights. He sees nothing. We do notice that he has his drawings from his notepad hanging on the wall by his bedside. He goes back to sleep, unaware of the shadow that looms over him, and you see the fucking wind move the pictures a little bit.
Speaker 4:That took me like three watches to see.
Speaker 1:Now, some of these videos were intercut with videos from another channel. There is another channel to all this. There is. If you type in like Marble Hornets, you'll get a playlist that has a bunch of stuff from Marble Hornets and this other channel called To the Ark.
Speaker 3:I can't stop reading it it's Tothark.
Speaker 1:I can't stop reading it as Tothark, I know Tothark. So far this channel has uploaded just a couple things, but there's a few things of interest. They uploaded a video that is basically just audio of someone running through the forest with the words Lakes in Stillness will take every life of the night. The first letters of some of the words are capitalized and if you spell them out, they spell out the word listen.
Speaker 3:This here is followed up by a we should say what that video is titled, though.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:It's titled Operator.
Speaker 1:It's titled Operator's title operator. Thank you, elevator operator. So that comes into play at some point. I'll explain it.
Speaker 2:I'll explain it.
Speaker 1:I'm like right at the end of my part and that kind of just threw me out so sorry. I have like one sentence left and that just kind of threw it out of me sorry this is followed by a blank video of someone yelling Alex in slow-mo with the words watching you that are appearing on screen. Watching you bud, watching you bud, yeah, on screen, watching you bud. Watching you bud. Watching you, buddy, yeah.
Speaker 3:We made a change.
Speaker 1:Do it lady that. Do it lady. That is my portion. Now. I broke down. I summarized videos 1 through 11. Obviously, we don't got to tell everybody what portions we summarized, but, like I said, we're not. If you're listening to this to get a full deep dive and every minute detail of Marble Hornets, you're not going to get it there's a video that smashes all this shit together on YouTube.
Speaker 3:It is eight and a half hours long we're not going to do that and that's just.
Speaker 4:Isn't that just the Marble Hornets stuff? That's not even the included to the arc stuff. I think that includes to the arc. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2:I think everything, including to the arc, is nine hours and 23 minutes. Yeah, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a lot, and that's why we're summarizing it, and it's a lot of shots of just like woods.
Speaker 3:He's walking, yeah, yeah Legs feet.
Speaker 1:This is Quentin Tarantino's dream film.
Speaker 4:I'd like to cast myself as the floor, all right we're gonna pour shots off of a woman's foot.
Speaker 2:We need a guy what was?
Speaker 4:that was from dusk till dawn, right, yeah, yeah just let me suck on some of hayek's toes.
Speaker 1:I just wanted to suck on some of hayek's toes. I don't blame him.
Speaker 2:He's like how do I write myself into this situation?
Speaker 3:how do I become Quentin Tarantino?
Speaker 1:All right, Quentin Tarantino, director. You know by written Tarantini, yeah there you go.
Speaker 3:How do you steal an identity? So I have the next section, parts 12 through 23. So this it really consists more of jay like digging through alex's tapes. So he finds one that contains them filming some more stuff for marble hornets. And in the first one he finds in this section the uh, they're all filming in a field and they all see the, the man suit slender boy. I call them dat boy in my notes. So they see dat boy and so they, they verbally acknowledge him and uh, tim on the crew actually begins to confront him but the tape ends before anything else happens. And another one alex is filming uh with jay and he sends him, he sends j Jay back to his car to get something and while Jay is doing that he runs into that boy, slenderman, and he discovers on this abandoned building that he's hiding behind, that there is a circle with an X through it like scratched into the concrete, and this is a symbol that is gonna be important and it's gonna come up a lot throughout the series.
Speaker 1:It's the symbol on the YouTube channel even yeah.
Speaker 3:So Jay finds other tapes that seem to be Alex documenting his struggles with Slenderman stalking him, and it's very clear that Alex is diving deeper and deeper into his paranoia. So there's one where alex is sleeping and the operators are.
Speaker 3:well, I ruined it that boy, come on now yeah, that boy uh sneaks into his room and like he disappears. But we see alex after this and he's like bleeding from his head. So it's apparent that uh slenderman has like an effect a physical effect on the people that he's interacting with. And so Jay hunts down Tim, who is one of the actors from the Marble Hornets movie, and he starts questioning him about his involvement with Marble Hornets. And Tim is very, very adamant that he really knows absolutely nothing at all about what was going on, and he even says that he remembers very little about his time working with Alex. But the more that Jay presses he becomes like very agitated and it's like he's like really trying to get him to stop asking questions, which leads me to wonder why he even agreed to doing the interview to begin with.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it's very clear that Tim either doesn't remember and bringing this stuff up is bothering, like unlocking some anxiety in him, or he's hiding something and he's trying not to answer these questions. So Jay decides to investigate himself and he goes to an apartment um slash building that um brian uh used to live in, and he finds, and he tries to knock on the door. Nobody answers. He finds an unlocked door and he enters and he proceeds to do what I noted as the loudest b and e of all time so a hundred percent a lot of is sneak level negative five a lot of
Speaker 3:this series yeah like there's.
Speaker 3:There's parts where they're like sneaking around while just crunching lease, breaking glass and the person there's following is like 20 feet ahead of him like yeah are you guys following fucking uh, uh uh helen keller every single thing he does in this sequence is done as loudly as a human being could possibly do it it's like every stealth role was in that one right, every single one exactly, um, but it appears that the building has been abandoned for quite a while and there's no signs of Brian or anyone else like actually around, except that he does find some closets where it appears that somebody has been like making beds and stuff and sleeping in these closets, maybe to hide from something.
Speaker 3:So over the course of his time in the building he begins to cough more and more and it's lynx disease yeah, and it's always, always, yeah so he eventually finds some dried blood which he sticks his hand in, which is a recurring thing throughout the series. Every time somebody finds blood, their immediate thing is like oh, let me stick my hand in that yeah, so he, uh, he finds this dried blood. He sticks his Hand in it and then he finds A bunch of papers that look like the slender Mandudos that we're all familiar with, from like the eight pages and stuff.
Speaker 1:It's the papers that Alex has been drawing. My other favorite thing not to cut you off Is in movies do this too, but like, when they find a thing of blood, they always like Touch it and it's like that's blood like they taste it and it's like that's blood, like they taste and there's like that's blood. What if you can't melt copper? And if it wasn't? Would that be better?
Speaker 3:yeah, like a mechanic.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's cool, trash goo or something it's just like arsenic, I promise yeah there's another red liquid substance that I wouldn't.
Speaker 4:That's that color, and viscosity that I would like to have in my mouth no idea how long this has been here, where it came from it would never be pleasant if you find any type of it could be jello residue and it would not be pleasant run off from an iron mine yeah really anytime you find a goo on a wall or like on a street, you're never going to know, you know what?
Speaker 1:It's always going to taste bad. It's never going to be like cherry flavored Kool-Aid. No, it's not.
Speaker 4:Now that you said that it does check out, simply because every time we do surgery at work, the first thing that happens is do an incision and the second thing that happens is the surgeon licks his hand.
Speaker 3:Everybody takes a turn. Everybody takes a turn.
Speaker 4:Everybody get a straw. Make sure that this is blood.
Speaker 3:We just need to make sure that that's what this person's chest cavity is filled with.
Speaker 4:Right.
Speaker 1:We just want to make sure, guys, there's enough for everyone. Come on the hospital's version of a blood pack. We're all in this surgery together. If they die, we all go down, everyone take a sip. We will become stronger.
Speaker 3:Anyway. So he finds the blood, he finds these papers that look like the ones that Alex has been doodling, he finds some pills and then he finds a bullet. And then he goes to leave, drops the papers all over the fucking place, makes as much noise as possible again and then collapses on the floor in a coughing fit. So once this video ends, we get another video from the To the Arc channel that Mike mentioned earlier, and it becomes very clear that whoever is uploading these To the Ark videos is following Jay around. So in this video it's basically whoever has uploaded this tape is stalking Jay around as he's going around this building trying to like finding this stuff.
Speaker 3:So after this we get some more footage of the Marble Hornets' archives and then Jay decides that he needs to go back to this house. So he goes back in and he the previous bne I found out was the second loudest bne of all time because this one, this one, takes the cake. So he starts calling out for people. Nobody responds to him and he walks around a little bit more, find some more weird closets and then eventually he comes across a slender man looking doll. So he leans down to pick it up and when he turns around, there's a man sitting on a couch with a white mask on dude and I am out shit, my fucking pants, yeah, and same
Speaker 3:so he jumps off the couch and charges him, and jay, like, falls down on the ground, and he wakes up a little while later in his car with his knife missing and says that he doesn't remember much of anything other than what was on the tape. So this leads jay to start becoming more and more paranoid and see, so he starts recording himself, the same way that Alex appeared to have been recording himself. So he sets up a camera in his room and there's this video of him filming himself sleeping, and the dude in the white mask appears.
Speaker 3:This is some of the creepiest footage in the entire series oh my god, yes, the white mask man like shows up on top of his dresser and then is like in the bed with him, like inches away from his face, and it gets all like glitchy ander. And then is like in the bed with him, like inches away from his face and it gets all like glitchy and stuff. And then he, like the face, shows up in the camera.
Speaker 1:It's super fucking creepy he's batmanning on the dresser it's disturbing.
Speaker 3:So after this he looks over the items that he found in the house and he discovers that one of the pages that he took says See me at the tower. He determines that this is in reference to the red tower that Mike mentioned, which is that rock wall thing that was in the field.
Speaker 4:The old climbing wall.
Speaker 3:He discovers that the bullet that he took is missing, and then the pill bottle that he took, which was very clearly full at the time because he shook it and there was pills in it, is now completely empty did anybody else think when you saw that masked person uh, it looked like the I like turtles kid.
Speaker 1:At first I thought it was.
Speaker 4:It would be more terrifying if, as he charged, you just heard, I like turtles.
Speaker 3:That is kind of what it looks like 100%, Holy crap. So he reviews some more of the footage and finds a tape of Tim and Tim is behaving very strangely in this tape like super agitated and he's coughing the same way that Jay was coughing when he was wandering around the building sounds like covet came early very curious and not a decade.
Speaker 3:And in this tape jay takes some pills that he has with him to try to help with the cough.
Speaker 3:So jay then decides to go back to the red tower to investigate and he finds on the tower that Circle X logo that we were talking about before, and inside the Red Tower he discovers a metal tin with a tape inside.
Speaker 3:This tape contains footage of Alex wandering around inside a dark building, and then it jumps to Alex talking to the camera explaining that he thought leaving would make things better, but everything has just gotten worse. So this is like kind of the first time you realize, if you think about it later, that all these tapes are very out of order. Um, because, because this this will be explained why where alex went to, where he left and why he left later. So jay goes back to snooping around left and why he left later. So Jay goes back to snooping around the apartment and house again because he decided that getting attacked wasn't enough, and he runs into the masked dude again and tries to chase him through the house and then there's a cut and then he appears to be in a dark basement and suddenly he runs into Slenderman in the basement and then he fucking blacks out again and wakes up later in his house and has no memory of what happened so is this.
Speaker 4:Is this the one where you see the uh masky like peeking around a door frame?
Speaker 3:yeah, he's like in in the bathroom looking in a mirror or something, and then he turns around and yeah, he's like sticking his head through a door yeah, they got me love that trope.
Speaker 2:Just someone behind a tree or like around? Oh yeah, the thing that makes it creepier.
Speaker 3:That that makes it even creepier is what I've talked about before with horror, where it's all happening in broad daylight, so you don't expect it as much. It's super. Yeah, 100, this is.
Speaker 4:It is very good, it's very good this was one of my favorite parts and, man, I just want to, just because it pertains to, this is your last video one last thing I wanted to explain is that we've mentioned these to the arc videos that are interspersed.
Speaker 3:There's one that's interspersed in this section that, again, if you watch the video, has the word operator in it repeatedly, and so it's through these clues that the to the arc channel is leaving, that it's determined that this thing, the slender man being that is following these people around, is probably called the operator, and at least legally distinct yeah, legally distinct from slender man yes but yeah, that's the only reason I ask is um, that last video you talked about with the maski and like running through the house and all of a sudden like showing up in that like dilapidated building.
Speaker 4:Um, I will say it's. It's a solid, like two minutes of confusion, as um jay like opens a door and then it leads to like the exact same room that he just left and then, like he opens, like he goes back through the same door and now he's like like the exact same room that he just left and then, like he opens, like he goes back through the same door and now he's like in a different part of the house completely. It's almost like like space itself is being rearranged.
Speaker 2:It's fucking wild also just to point out uh, jason used the term masky. Um, that's kind of what the, the, the, the community coined the terms of the, some of these character names and the. When we refer to the guy in the terms of some of these character names and when we refer to the guy in the mask, it's, you're more than likely going to hear us say Maskey, yeah, that's how the community refers to it.
Speaker 1:We'll talk about it more later, but I need to know how the hell they got all these dope ass locations for all these shots.
Speaker 3:there's one section later on where they straight up just have a whole ass house. That's not even like abandoned, it's just a house. Oh yeah, that they get to use.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's pretty great.
Speaker 2:I feel like they live in a small town and they're just like we're able to just like. Some guy was just like.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, whatever I'm not gonna be here for the next three months, so sure, um, so the last thing that we see is again, like Matt said, is Jay going to, uh, basically transported to, like this, this warehouse, this dilapidated building, um that he opened a door in the house he was in and then all of a sudden he showed up there. Um, so this is the next two. I think it's the next two, or is the next three? Okay, the next three videos. They all lead into the end Of what we call season one. That's all that's left here, and so I'm going to break those up like that, but other than that, I won't mention video numbers. It'll just be story plot or whatever.
Speaker 4:So, after we see this really random chain of events happen, we get a shot of Jay installing a security system in his house, and I'm assuming it's in response to that video where he sees the masked person like sitting on his dresser and then cuddling in bed with him and that kind of stuff. I'd probably do the same fucking thing. So he said he's attempting to catch whatever's affecting his life on camera. He walks out of his room during the night and he returns a couple hours later. However, the weird thing is is is the cameras he set up? He's got one in his room looking at him and he's got one watching his bedroom door from the outside.
Speaker 4:The interior bedroom camera shows him getting up out of bed and opening the bedroom door and walking out of it. However, when they line the footage up the exterior view of that same door, it shows basically that it's not opening at all. Nothing's happening. You can't see anyone walking through the house. All you see is on that first camera, the door opening. There's no match of a door opening at all in the other camera. You're like what the fuck? Um, so after we see this, uh, we get, uh it's almost like a punctuated video from to the arc and it's just six number signs all in a row. It's called the unnamed video by the community and see this one kind of builds on the last one, because I think the last one's called warning right.
Speaker 4:Matt sure yeah it is so the last one was called warning and this one it almost builds on that warning but it doesn't really give us any big information. Not now anyway, okay, shit, okay, yeah, I'm sorry, this one, the, the last one, the warning, and this one, the un, unnamed, unnumbered one, seemed to almost build together to like complete whatever warning to the ark is talking about? Um, after this, uh, jay records a, a segment from the local news and it's about an apartment fire. He confirmed that it's actually his apartment. So, between the warning video from to the arc and the, the unnamed, unnumbered one, as well as all the events, that are the events showing him leaving his room with like no recollection, no video footage, no proof whatsoever, as well as the footage of Maskey being inside Jay's room, he now sees that his whole fucking apartment has burned down. To me, this is almost like an escalation of real threats, like if this went from something that you're just kind of observing to more like oh shit, like I'm, I'm in this, I'm targeted. And so his apartment burns down. The fire appears very recent. Although jay wasn't in at the time, that could have gone very differently, because he did just say he was going to stay somewhere else after he discovered the person sleeping next to him in the bed. Uh, so you know, lucky call, good call there. How's? Uh? Apartment burned down? Um, nothing is static about this situation anymore. Everything that jay thought he kind of could hold on to and know is just being ripped away from him. So he starts to kind of spiral a little bit and his, his life is visibly unraveling, and even in like in the public eye it's on the news his fucking apartment burned down. Oh, excuse me. Um, clearly affected by the stress, jay announces that he will no longer be uploading to the channel. No, this is, I mean, this is it's. It's just affecting his life too much. It's his personal life, his family. Um, he can't sleep anymore, so he's just. You know what? I'm throwing the towel, I'm calling it quits.
Speaker 4:And then a package shows up for jay. It's an? Um unmarked and it contains a date tape. Uh, not a date, a tape dated april 4th. Alex is on it along with a woman and she and alex are talking about, uh, where it came from. He gets all cagey as she turns. Um, it's basically it's just. It looks like they're living together and it's almost like she finds this camera and didn't know where it came from. And alex is telling her like, oh, that's, you know we don't have a camera. What are you talking about? Oh right, well, I was gonna sell that, so just put it back please. And she's like well, you just told me we didn't have one. Now you're saying you're selling it. Which one is it? He goes, just put it back. It's old, I forgot, and um, super cagey. So she turns around to put the camera back and as she turns around, we get the operator it's.
Speaker 4:Lenny boy that boy is behemoth thing in the hallway, just floor to ceiling, and she screams operator, starts chasing them and all you hear is Alex is is like get out, get out, get out out the window, out the window, and you see her almost start to like go out the window and it cuts, the shot ends and it's replaced by a big red help. So it's and it's got the operator symbol next to it and that's not what I'm going to refer to. That circle with the x is like the operator symbol and I think that's what the community started referring to it as.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think so, so, and this is the video that that rounds out season one. So last thing that we see is Alex and his newest situation being invaded by the operator Apparently this, this other situation that he was kind of involved in, maybe. And then it just says help with the operator apparently this other situation that he was kind of involved in, maybe. And then it just says help with the operator symbol. And then we get a seven-month like nothing. Absolutely nothing is uploaded for seven months, so between April 18th 2010, and November 23rd 2010, not a single thing. And then we get the next one, which is so season two is going to start on video 27. If anybody is interested in, this season is going to start with Jay waking up in a very unfamiliar hotel room wearing a chest mounted camera. It's almost like it looks just like a body cam that the police wear. He's got no memory of the last seven months. He has, like some handwritten notes, he's got some clothes and he's got cameras set up, almost like he was recording.
Speaker 1:The camera quality has also improved. The camera quality hasn't went from 360 to 420.
Speaker 4:Absolutely. It's almost like someone got a GoPro. He's got a bunch of his like those handwritten notes that we saw before that he had from the investigation. He's got clothes and camera setups, but he has no fucking idea how he's gotten there. None, no memories for the last seven months, completely he. So while he's there, he starts investigating the room. He looks around, he finds a bag with belongings and inside there's a pill bottle with some pills. He has been looking for those.
Speaker 1:I don't know what else I'd expect.
Speaker 4:Uh-huh, he finds a couple of things in there and then he also finds a key and a locked safe. He walks outside and he passes this woman and he's going about his day just like checking out the hotel, checking out the area, and he comes back and he runs into this woman who like introduces like hey, like what are you doing? And they start talking. Turns out her name is Jessica. And as soon as he says what his name is I'm jay. And then they bleeped it because they don't want everyone to know, she acts like she knows him, like I've heard this last name before like how, like, why do I know you? Where do I know you? And he's absolutely certain that they have never met. And she's she gets kind of eerie, um, super confident, just asking about whatever, just random ass stranger like the, the, she doesn't care, she didn't give a shit, she's super bold the.
Speaker 1:This was always interesting to me because in the real world, if you're, you wake up in a hotel with no knowledge of how you got to that hotel and a random person at that hotel tries to have a conversation with you, you don't have a conversation. I'm going to start masturbating immediately you go in your room and you lock that door, because a stranger in a hotel just randomly talking to you is never a good sign. They're trying to sell you drugs or kidnap you. It's never a good time.
Speaker 3:She's a pretty girl. His hormones just took over and he was like girl horny boy girl talk to me.
Speaker 4:Um, so he meets jessica. She seems like he's pretty familiar. He doesn't know why because he does not think so. Um and she, he asked a couple of questions which she seems a little dodgy about, but like nothing, like out of the ordinary for a stranger who doesn't want to give away too much about herself.
Speaker 1:Yet you'll start a conversation with me. Correct Women, am I right?
Speaker 4:She won't answer some of the most, jesus Christ. She won't answer some of the most basic questions.
Speaker 3:We lose entry 27.5, which is just Jay gooning for 15 minutes.
Speaker 4:Just gooning, straight gooning.
Speaker 1:He turned off the tape for that.
Speaker 2:You just hear a fucking Just staring back at you.
Speaker 4:It's just a picture of the fucking wall and you just see the camera shaking slightly.
Speaker 1:Slender man shows up and just fades away. Do you know?
Speaker 2:how much fucking Slender man smut is on the internet too, there's so much.
Speaker 4:Holy shit. Oh, the amount of times I've seen Slender man covered in cum is too many. It's only twice, but that's still way too many times.
Speaker 3:I've never seen Slender man covered in cum once.
Speaker 4:Well again, reiterating too many times, I've never seen Slenderman covered in gum once. Well again, reiterating too many times, put a finger down. Okay, so he talks to Jessica, meets her they don't hit it off, but they talk. And later on that night he kind of feels weird about her. But he hears a bunch of weird yelling and banging noises coming through the walls and vents. Um, he's like, okay, whatever, that's fucking weird, but I guess I'll you know, I'll just leave it alone. Um, he does look through his hard drive and he does say he just he discovers recordings of himself running through a forest. He discovers, uh, like blood evidence on evidence on a wall, blevidance. It also shows him entering a tunnel and as he's walking down the tunnel you can see the operator pop up at the end of it.
Speaker 4:A bunch of glitchiness happens he shoves his hand in some blood again it just figures a bunch of blood.
Speaker 1:It's just what you do. He's gonna get a disease from this man Like this is how you get.
Speaker 4:AIDS At this point. He fucking deserves it. Stop touching blood.
Speaker 1:It's not you who raised you. Who raised this fellow? Was it a mosquito?
Speaker 4:So he sees all these random ass videos on his hard drive that shows what he's been up to for the last seven months, assumedly, and later he the video cuts and you can see that he's back at his hotel now and he's walking through the hallway and Jessica pops out again and it's just, it's more small talk. She helps God. That's fucking Rick and Morty Like what is that.
Speaker 2:Jessica sees him kind of struggling with some bags that he has, oh Jesus.
Speaker 4:She opens the door, she's like hey, let me help you with that. They get to talking some more. He says that his house is being renovated and she's saying what did she say? She was kicked out of her apartment. That's why, um, and so that's why they're both staying at the hotel. Um, that night, once again, it's super cordial. Jay hears a bunch more of these random ass fucking noises once more, um, this time jay goes to that shared door, that some apartment, uh you mean the goon, I'm goon, you mean the goon door.
Speaker 1:Yeah the goon door Knocks on the goon door.
Speaker 3:You didn't include the awkward conversation where she asked him about the goon materials that he has in the bags that he's bringing in.
Speaker 2:What's with all the goon paraphernalia?
Speaker 4:You got your goon supplies.
Speaker 1:Got your goon fiends in there.
Speaker 3:Your hand base, your hand ties women should never listen to this podcast.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry women can goon too. What do you mean?
Speaker 4:women should. It's healthy. It is healthy. So he goes to the goon door, knocks a whole bunch. That's the only thing I'm calling that fucking door from now on it's just the way you said.
Speaker 2:It was perfect, just nonchalantly. So he goes to the goon door so he goes to the goon door.
Speaker 4:Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock pounds on the door. Wakes her up. She opens it. She goes. Why, like, what's wrong? I was sleeping, goes, I'm gooning, you're not, he goes. You want to goon? Um, he goes, did you like? I've heard a bunch of like fucking. Alright, I'm gonna give this one a beat, cause Mike is absolutely inconsolable. I have to piss. I was gonna try and hold this, but it is not happening anymore.
Speaker 2:That's on us. That's on us for sure, brb.
Speaker 4:Wowie Zowie, george Zowie, so Goon door. So so jay goes, knocks on the door, jessica answers and she's like what? I was sleeping, you just woke me up. It's like you don't hear those horrendous fucking noises that are happening from your room. And she's like no, I was sleeping. What are you talking about if you're over here trying goon man? Just like watching the building like face mike's just vibrating over here. He's literally shaking the whole foundation of his home as soon as he started talking.
Speaker 2:He's just like yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to contain it.
Speaker 4:I really am um, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah, she, she acts like she just woke up, heard nothing, has no idea what the fuck's going on. Um, so after this jay goes, um, he goes and searches and finds, uh, rosswood park. And it's only the only reason he did this is because in that video, in those the collection of videos he found on his laptop, he found a series of trails in like a forested area that looked somewhat like they would be from this park or this, which is more like a wooded area than anything. And so he finds he actually does find a match in the footage inside Rosswood Park and he also manages to find. And so he finds he actually does find a match in the footage inside Rosswood Park and he also manages to find A normal, random dude although he filmed him for about five minutes thinking that he was being followed, it was just a guy listening to some headphones, walking the trail like a good length behind them.
Speaker 1:So the paranoia is is palpably building, with jay um back at the hotel. Uh, jay knox in his defense, though the man did take an awfully long time to shuffle through his mp3 player. Oh yeah, and they're not even moving. I thought they were gonna not even move. I thought there's gonna be a twist where it's like a mannequin or something at one point, because he was seriously just like stand there like this listening to music. Cut him some slack, all right up until he was like this hey who are you?
Speaker 4:what do you want? Just like that. It was actually, yeah, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and Oscar the Grouch's baby. So he goes over. He goes over to Rosswood Park. He finds the match on the footage he found on his computer. Um, and he also manages to find this random guy who he thinks is following him, but turns out not so much. Um back, he goes back to the hotel.
Speaker 4:Uh, jay knocks on jessica's front door. This time not the goon door, not the goon door, the regular door. This is all business, no pleasure. So he knocks on the door, they talk a bunch more and she then asks him have you been experiencing like memory loss bouts? Call this number, um, and he says no, like what are you talking about? And then literally he says no and she goes okay and closes the door and he leaves to go into his room. Just very normal conversation. Very normal conversation, um, and obviously that's a fucking lie because we just found out jay cannot remember the last seven fucking months. Um, she says that she has been so in the time that she was talking. She says that he she's been experiencing memory loss, nightmares, etc. Etc, etc.
Speaker 4:Jay then says you know what we have to leave tonight and this is so. I'm sorry they are talking to the goon door at this point. We have to leave tonight. Pack your shit, leave the goon door propped open so I can tell if anything happens. And so he goes back. There's some text shows up, says like I have to upload this just in case anything happens. And he goes to do that. And when he goes back to go next door he sees that jessica's just fucking gone, absolutely missing. Didn't come to the door that uh was open to his room, apparently did not leave through the hallway, so he has no idea what happened or where she went. However, when he goes and looks for her, he does find a note that says combination and it's got a four digit combination on it. So he tries it on Jessica's safe, to which it doesn't work, but for some reason that combination works on his safe, which is strange what's the combination?
Speaker 4:I don't remember 1-1-0-2 or something like that 1-1-0-2, which you'll see reoccur a little bit.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, yeah 11-0-2,.
Speaker 4:You'll see that all over the place Inside this safe, there are just tapes on tapes, on tapes on tapes. Just a fucking bunch of DVI tapes. Tapes on tapes on tapes on tapes, just a fucking bunch of dvi tapes. Tapes on tapes, on tapes on. And as this happens, as he looks up, he like to, I think he hears something, and so he turns around and maski comes just barreling through the, the goon door and he goes.
Speaker 2:Well, now it's my turn, uh why wasn't I invited to the goon party?
Speaker 4:pretty much so Jay, he almost gets stuck, he almost gets caught by him, but he does end up escaping runs, runs, runs, takes the tapes with him. Um and uh, the mask man or uh masky chases Jay outside to where. After they get outside you can't really see where the mask man went and Jay looks like he has escaped. After this, jay goes to the tapes from the hotel safe and he does find more of himself exploring. Apparently there is a. There's a video of him exploring the area from where that package came from. There's several other steps to get to that knowledge, but it is far too convoluted and it's really it's not the best payoff for the amount of work you have to do. Um, so he's looking up the address for what's uh on the package that was sent to him and he sees this footage. Um, and he, uh, it's this like super dilapidated old house. Looks pretty normal on the outside, but you get inside and it looks like I don't know, like four to ten grenades went off inside, dilapidated as fuck. After this we get a to the arc interlude and this one's called fragments, if you want to know where we are in the series. This is a bunch of creepy foreshadowing with a torn up photo of alex. It's almost been like rearranged and pasted back together different areas. It just looks real broken, um, and it talks all about how alex is, uh, broken and cannot be fixed, which is a bunch of foreshadowing for later on.
Speaker 4:Now j, after finding this footage, returns to this abandoned house that was featured in the recovered tapes. He's frustrated that nothing is in there. When he realized he's frustrated that nothing is there and he starts to throw kind of a tantrum when he hears a noise, looks behind him and he realizes he's followed by Alex. The masked figure then appears from deeper in the house and attacks, attacks Alex. In the chaos Alex picks up a rock and strikes him, masky, knocking him to the ground, and he goes to pick the rock up again, almost like he's about to kill him. And that's when Jay jumps in and is like fucking stop. And they stop after tying the masked man down, stop. And they stop. After tying the masked man down, they reach for his mask and they pull at it and they reveal the masked figure that has been stalking Jay all this time was actually Tim Timothée. Timothée, yeah, the guy that was featured in the Marble Hornets raw footage when they were shooting in the gazebo.
Speaker 3:He was the guy smoking a cigarette. I believe Tim's last name is Sutton and in one of the wikis that I was reading it says that the community referred to him as Sutton Chops, which I thought was hilarious.
Speaker 4:I love that. So it's revealed that Maskey is none other than the one. The only Sutton Chops Tim.
Speaker 1:Sutton Chops Tim. He has sideburns, real big ones, if anyone Care to know.
Speaker 2:He looks like a greaser, like straight up, not a gooner, but a greaser. Not a gooner, a greaser.
Speaker 4:I will say, the last video that I talked about was, uh, it was a to the arc video called broadcast, and I'm not even, I'm not gonna lie. This fucking video is just straight up nonsense. It was just weirdness and like in distortion and colors and that's it that's kind of what a lot of them, I feel like are some of mine out, because there's they don't tell you much it's just ambiance, yep, abstractness and ambiance Creepy to be creepy.
Speaker 4:But that wraps up the end of season one and almost kind of like the intro to the tones and like what you're going to expect during season two yeah, so I got, I have, uh, the next section, videos 36 to 46.
Speaker 2:So in this episode we're not going to quite finish season two, um, but we'll leave you guys with a a little bit of a cliffhanger, I'm sure. So jay now finds himself drawn back into things, this time under alex's uh, increasingly like agitated direction, right. So tensions start to spike between the two, um, particularly after, like, jay confronts alex about his attack on tim. Um, he kind of just, alex just kind of brushes it off like it's no big deal. He just fucking stoned a man, essentially, um, and it just shows like a huge lack of remorse on alex's end that we've kind of seen this like spiral starting to happen with him, obviously, um, so Alex insists Jay keep a low profile until he contacts him again and, um, alex is just kind of establishing himself as like a fucking, just like a threat and like a puppet master at this point in the series. Um, we're seeing, obviously we're seeing like from the future tapes right now. But we're seeing, obviously we're seeing like from the future tapes right now. But we're starting to see kind of like where, like, what's going on in these people's heads now? Um, so we get a hack, their channel gets hacked and um, an entry is uploaded, called entry, with like two t's uh, 37 and um, and uh, it's just a child's birthday party from 1991. And we find out that it's a young Alex birthday celebration. And as the party progresses you get some like you know all the classic video glitches and stuff like that. But we end up seeing like like an operator symbol like over Alex's face, and then, as he blows out his candles, the footage kind of warps and all these numbers start flashing on the screen and we literally end up getting a shot of the operator inside of this video. And so, who knows at this point, maybe Alex has been being influenced by the operator since childhood.
Speaker 2:It's not really clear on our end at this point. So, jay, does Alex go to church? I don't know, probably should. Okay, sorry, go ahead, doug.
Speaker 2:So Jay ends up following Alex through the woods of Rosswood Park and Alex starts offering all these cryptic stories about the area's past, and it's not really clear where he's leading Jay, but he's leading him there with some sort of intent, though whether it's to inform or deceive him is still unclear.
Speaker 2:So a big important part of this episode this episode actually in particular is while he's, while they're walking through this forest, which is longer than it needs to be, um, alex is explaining these stories about rosswood park and he's saying stuff, uh about like how there was a like a forest deity, that, um, the the settlers there used to think, uh, because they used to think there was a deity, because all of the like flora and fauna grew really well, the crops grew like super quick. But then he goes on to start talking about like all these tortures, that like they take criminals out into the forest and like string them up to trees and stretch them out and then light the tree on fire. So it's just something to keep in mind for this story, because there's a lot of.
Speaker 4:Obviously we're going to have a lot of unanswered questions at some point in this, but waste of a tree if I remember that part yeah, seriously, from what I remember from that part correctly anyway is this is when Jay and Alex were talking. Right, yep, they're walking through the forest. I remember Jay asking him a very specific, direct question and then Alex just launches into this random ass tirade how they strung people up and let the trees tear them apart and then burnt them to death.
Speaker 2:He's literally like, where are we going? And he's like I'm going to talk to you about death and murder.
Speaker 3:That's how my 80 year old uncle responds to questions. I love my 80 year old uncle, but to questions. I love my 80 year old uncle but like he'll give me the entire history of like life in the 1940s. What do you want for dinner?
Speaker 4:the first doctor to ever discover smegmo was Dr Smegmo Allen, and this was in 1927. What do you, hey, uncle?
Speaker 1:maybe. I hope so, uncle, what do you want to do for dinner? You ever been to a turkish prison?
Speaker 2:airplane. Jesus christ, um, anyways, yeah, sorry, um. So they're walking through the forest. He's getting this whole spiel about, uh, rosswood park, which is the main setting of this whole show. So soon after, alex instructs Jay to meet him again at Rosswood. So after they leave he's like, hey, you need to come back, but he won't tell him why.
Speaker 2:And Jay is super suspicious at this point and he ends up spending the night in his car near the woods but wakes up to this like dude basically watching him in the car, and actually we get a to the arc video that's the opposite POV of the guy filming him in the car and actually he doesn't wake up I misspoke there. But he's sleeping in the car and there's a guy. He watches the film and he's like what the fuck? But, um, yeah, so they uh, actually I don't know, did we mention this to the to the art videos? I don't know if you guys remember this, but back in the day you could, in reply to the arc is like I was watching your bitch ass bro. So, yeah, creepy is an understatement, I guess. So as Jay goes to the park the next day waiting for Alex, he stumbles into this like secluded clearing and ends up encountering the operator and he like, freaks the fuck out, drops his camera and then flees um the scene, essentially, and now this is a one of like I think one of the first videos we see where it actually breaks jay filming, um, because everything we've seen up to now is pretty much besides. Anything from the first season is like just Jay filming. So, uh, yeah, um, basically, we get the small intermission and it kind of follows someone who picks up the camera and is now kind of walking it back to Jay's car, um, the figure dressed in a tan hoodie, um, and a face mask like a ski mask, um, who we'll probably refer to as hoodie um, uh, basically, uh, just drops the car or drops his camera in his car, um, and right now it's kind of unclear whether hoodie is an ally or just another another player in this whole thing, um, but there's uh a few to the arc videos that we get in between these, um, we get some hidden messages and the.
Speaker 2:The main motif that we keep seeing them post is lies. We keep seeing that word he lies, lies, um, and it's kind of not really we don't really know why, yet we don't know who's lying or like what that means, um, so, uh, basically, uh, jay ends up accessing the hard drive that he found in the hotel safe. Um, he had gone through a bunch of the tapes and, uh, once he finished those, he's like all right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna look at the hard drive now. We're gonna kind of figure out what's on there. Um, the footage on it reveals a very different, uh like, view of alex. It actually seems like this hard drive video goes back way, way further to the beginning of everything. We see Alex arriving at Rosswood looking for Jay, who then admits to fleeing after seeing the operator, and they're just standing around and he's like you just went into the fucking forest and you didn't know where you were in the forest, and then you drop the camera and go and start gooning Is that what you thought you?
Speaker 2:fucking gooning in the forest, you little idiot. But yeah, so they're like kind of being cooperative, because Jay is like visibly shaken and Alex is like yo, we got to find fucking Amy, which has been missing for some time now. And then Jay uh finds a camera, the camera that he thought he'd lost in his car. He's like, oh shit, the camera's right here actually. So I'm going to go back just a second here.
Speaker 2:I don't know if we talked about uh, we did talk about Amy in the video with Alex where we see like her being like hey, uh, you this camera, and jay was being, uh, alex was being all weird about it, like I'm gonna give you a knuckle sandwich, you don't put that down. Um, fucking, she's like missing and like that's alex's whole like stick right now is that he's trying to find amy and now he's like recruiting jay to help him. Um, so if that's a little out of sequence, it makes sense, because a lot of these videos that are uploaded, like if you watch everything in upload order, obviously we are told from Jay that they're not sequenced, so we're just like watching this as he finds them, which means that, like, episode 37 is actually the first video, because it happened in 1991. And then, like the second video, five, and then the next video is like 50. It's like, it's super out of order.
Speaker 4:I looked at the like the lineup for chronological and it's like that one of them is like video 22 and then it's like video 81. Yeah, what?
Speaker 3:yeah, literally, which is kind of insane considering that all these videos have been uploaded over the course of like four or five years. So, yeah, like the fucking forethought yeah, storyline is pretty impressive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, really good job being able to do that. It's. It's crazy. Um, okay, so some of the next uploads we get, uh, we see things start just like start unraveling basically. Uh, we get footage that shows Alex making a call, falsely claiming to someone that Amy is safe, and then that same night, um, the the operator so this is actually a really creepy video. But, um, the same night, the operator ends up appearing, uh, in Alex's room while he's sleeping. There's a shot at one point where he's just like sitting in front of the door, for, like, I think they're like I think they're trying to make it seem like he had been there for like a long time just staring at the door. But, um, he ends up going to bed. Operator shows up in the room and then Alex is actually just disappeared. He's just not in the room anymore. And, uh, essentially, they say you don't see this, but the tape runs out as it dies and he just never shows back up.
Speaker 2:And then we get in sort of what I guess is like a turning point in things Alex, we see him actually get attacked by Maskey and Hoodie, and this was kind of really big in the community when it happened, because this was like the definitive. Ok, well, alex isn't masky or hoodie now, and they're. Now we now know that they're two separate individuals because we basically see alex run through a forest, um, he's chasing after hoodie, and then, um, he or actually I think he's chasing after masky, and then, like he like turns around and then like the hoodie's there and just like beats him, um, they don't like kill him or anything, obviously, they just kind of like rough him up so they can escape. But again, super, super definitive point in the series where we now learn, ok, these are two separate people, they're not Alex, cool.
Speaker 2:So Jay, increasingly erratic and obsessed as well, goes as so far as to start stalking Alex in his home and then ends up breaking in and starts kind of like searching around the house. Um, he finds this tape in alex's room, um, but he ends up hearing alex come into the house and fucking ends up like going into that weird closet that we saw from before where somebody was sleeping in it. Harry potter room yeah, Harry Potter's the goon chamber. We're all the Harry Potter in the chamber of the goon, where the special gooning takes place.
Speaker 2:But yeah, so he hides in the and he's in this closet and then the operator ends up appearing inside of the house forcing Jay out of the room and Alex kind forcing Jay out of the, uh, the room and uh, alex kind of catching him in the process and, uh, he ends up running out of the through the front door and grabbing this key off the off the wall and uh, as you're, as he's running out, you can kind of see the operator. But you actually see Alex just stop. Alex just like doesn't try to leave, even though they know that the operator's standing there. Um, yeah, so throughout this season, um, the to the arc uh kind of continues to upload randomly, uh, dropping cryptic videos and clues.
Speaker 2:Um, we started seeing, like I said, we see a lot of lies in some of the hidden stuff we see classified in some of the hidden stuff, and it'll all start to make more sense for sure. But as of right now, it's just we don't really know what's going on. We don't know if Masky and Hoodie are good or if they're bad, or who they're working for or what they quite mean. And yeah, that's episode 40 or up through 46 that we've covered now and we'll leave it there for for the next episode damn so.
Speaker 4:Do we have like a the story till this point? Because, like there were a lot of details that, honestly, now that I'm listening to all of them back to back to back to back, like they weren't exactly integral however, yeah, there's, so there's a lot.
Speaker 2:I mean, if you wanted to like tldr in a sense, um, uh, basically jay starts uploading videos because his buddy, alex, is missing. Um, we learned through the first season um, kind of what led up to the events of uh, like, I guess, what jay wanted to show us until then. And then, as we go into season two, we learn, you know, seven months have been missing. That's kind of where we're at now. We're kind of traversing backwards through seven months of missing information in jay's head, and you know we've learned that he did find alex in those seven months and he's been working with him currently.
Speaker 2:So but can't remember how or why yeah, sprinkle in a little thunder man and a little to the arc and a little weird guys that are spider-man in the corner of the room.
Speaker 3:Their buddy, tim, has been following them around for some reason yeah, they've noticed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's another good point.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, we learned that, tim either doesn't remember that, or doesn't want to talk about, or is just straight lying yeah, and yeah, yeah and we'll definitely.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we can't say too much more now, but yeah, we've got there's.
Speaker 4:There's a lot of questions here that haven't been answered and hopefully in the next series we'll cover them just know, season one ended off with um jay receiving a tape that showed alex and whoever he's with some girl, some blonde girl. I can't remember if they actually tell us who that is in that video or not. I don't think they do. Either way, that's where that we left off. The season one ended with that's alex, alex, and they did say that. I just don't like the doug said yeah, they yeah I said it on my version
Speaker 4:okay, uh, so alex and amy the last thing you see in season one, the last thing you see is alex, uh, seeing that amy has found alex's camera presumably the one that he used to record a lot of the Marvel Hornet stuff as well as the investigation and as soon as she powered it up, it's almost like the operator reappeared. And this was. This was months, or if not years. Actually I don't actually know the length of time in between the filming of Marvel Hornets and that shot. Season one left off there. Season two kind of set us up for there's a lot more going on here than we know about, and we but we have no idea about any of it yet we'll call season two the, the, the seven month arc, or what actually.
Speaker 2:There probably is a name for the arc. I don't actually know what they call it, but um yeah, so we're actually not too far from the end of season 2 in our next episode, so we'll find out some more stuff then but until then we just gotta leave you on a cliffhanger so you can I don't know goon yourself, goon your friends goon us out oh, he's doing it.
