EP 52- Tales from the Shadows: Exploring Creepypastas and Sh**ing on movie critics!!

Hosted by: Revernze and YayoFYB Episode 52

Like the episode, have a question or opinion? Send us a text!! 5 star reviews only (LOL)

What happens when internet legends, local cryptids, and Hollywood critiques collide? Join us for a journey through the digital and supernatural realms as we explore the dark corners of online storytelling.

We kick off with deep dives into iconic creepypastas that defined internet horror culture. From the disturbing "Squidward's Suicide" with its hyper-realistic imagery to "Ben Drowned," the haunted Legend of Zelda cartridge that pioneered multimedia horror storytelling, we examine why these digital campfire tales continue to captivate our imaginations. One of us even shares a personal experience with unexplained phenomena that occurred while researching these stories – strange images appearing on screen that vanished without explanation. Could engaging with these stories somehow invite the supernatural into our lives?

Taking a detour through North Carolina folklore, we investigate the Beast of Bladenboro – a mysterious predator that terrorized a small town in the 1950s. With reports of animals drained of blood and witnesses describing a cat-like creature with glowing eyes, this regional legend has striking parallels to modern cryptid sightings. We compare it to a contemporary incident involving mysteriously killed goats arranged in a circle, questioning whether these phenomena have natural explanations or something more unsettling at their core.

Finally, we unleash our frustrations with film critics who've unfairly panned some of our favorite movies. How did White Chicks earn a measly 15% on Rotten Tomatoes? Why does Scarface only have 77% when it revolutionized the gangster genre? We dissect these critical misses with humor and passion, challenging the disconnect between professional reviewers and audience experiences.

Whether you're fascinated by digital horror, cryptozoology, or cinematic analysis, this episode offers a perfect blend of the mysterious and the entertaining. Join our conversation and decide for yourself what's fact, fiction, or something even stranger.

Hey, what's up everyone? It's Reverence here. So I kind of ran into a problem uploading the last previous episode about the creepypastas. I don't know what happened. I was recording. I mean not recording, I was editing and I guess I just didn't edit right. I was sloppy with my editing this time. So, for all the people that did get to listen to the episode, if you're getting the update about the new episode that you're seeing right now being released and you're like, wait a minute, I thought they already released. Um, I had to go back and re-edit the audio because the audio was very choppy for all the people that didn't manage to listen before I re-uploaded the new audio. So, yeah, that was my bad, sorry about that everyone, but yeah, hopefully everything should be back to normal. I had to re-upload the audio and re-edit everything, but hopefully everything sounds good. Sorry about that and, yeah, be sure to enjoy the episode. See you on the next one, peace.

Speaker 2:

I had this a little small incident today. No, no, no, it's not really crazy, okay. So I saw this creature today. Look, this is second time. I swear I seen this thing before. I seen it in the view before, mm-hmm. And I seen it where I was working, at Same scenario, bro, same scenario. The person I'm riding with. I'm like look, look, look, look. This time it was my brother. I tell him look, he ain't seen it, bro, he ain't seen what I saw, bro. So I'm trying to believe. I'm just imagining this thing. Now, this is the second. I don't know if it's a fox, but for me it's way too big to be a fox. Not only that, but when it stood, it stood up like a meerkat type thing, like a weasel, like a weasel type.

Speaker 2:

It was long but the tail was at least this long, bro, for the listeners, this long it was a long-ass tail bro. And damn, the body was long too. It looked like a weasel, but with the long tail For listeners, for the listeners. I bought this and it had like the ears. The ears were like Rounded, rounded off ears. So Cause I, cause I was like Sammy, bro, like look this up, cause I ain't gonna lie, but this shit was, this shit was killing me, bro.

Speaker 2:

I seen this, I seen in the view the other time. I seen it in the video. I was driving To, uh, I was driving to town. It was back there when I lived out, out of the cut, when we still lived together. Uh, I was with my car, mustang. Mustang was slowing down, I guess, like to try to like Line up or something, and then he just slammed on his brakes. And I look in front of him Like I couldn't see at first because it was his side. He slammed on the brakes. I'm like whoa, and then I started slowing down, and then I slammed on the brakes because I see this thing just pulling itself like this across the street.

Speaker 2:

And it was long too, but that time it was bigger, it was like way bigger. I was riding with Shardy. I'm like, look, look up, look, look, look, look at that. She was on her phone too. And so when she looked up she was like what? I was like you ain't see that, but I was freaking out, you ain't see that. She's like nah, I ain't see that, what are you talking about? I was like ain't, no way. I don't know if I'm going crazy. I don't know what it is. That shit was crazy, bro. So I seen something similar today. I tell somebody, look, somebody was on his phone and by the time he looked up the thing was already running through the grass. Bro, I don't know what it is, bro, it's the second time, I swear, I seen it. Oh, it's been a hot minute, bro. A year. Nah, we still lived at the house, I still had my car there Two years, three years, three years four, four years.

Speaker 2:

Four, five maybe. Damn, it's been a minute, bro, it's been a minute and I swear it's the exact same creature, but I swear. And the other time that Mustang stopped too. Like he stopped, like he Cause Bob been telling you, but he was just dragging across the, across the road Like he was low and he was just like moving, moving like that, the way he was moving, it was like unnatural, it was weird.

Speaker 1:

Me. The way I picture it Is like somebody doing like a plank position, but at that level.

Speaker 2:

Or that height.

Speaker 1:

And then just crawling the way you're saying.

Speaker 2:

Like that. Yeah, it looked like it really didn't look human, it looked like a creature. You know what it looked like? It looked like the like the Telfox from Naruto bro. Oh, okay, sort of like it looked like a llama, sort of like that, that stance. Like that, when it crawls, you know when it goes into like, like into beast mode type shit, yeah, like that.

Speaker 1:

So just pretty much crawling from a push-up position.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but it was just weird. It was just like, oh, imagine a dog that's low, just crawling like that. But this time I seen it, but it was like a small one compared to that, but it was still pretty big because I was like, nah, this ain't. Because I asked Sammy. I was like, was this a fox? I was like, look up a fox for me. And the fox have the pointed ears and this had like rounded, but it just stood, bro.

Speaker 2:

It was like a gold with color, bro. It was like crazy, bro. It was that colorway was crazy, bro. It was something else, bro, and it just I don't know. It just stood up. It stood on me, looked at me, bro, time slowed down, made eye contact with it, flicked right now I was about to say nah, but it did just look it just like stood up right there and I swear foxes, don't do that.

Speaker 2:

Like I wanted to say it was a fox. But the more I think about it I'm like, yeah, foxes, don't. Foxes, don't be standing up like that like it was just standing, like that but the tail it was a long ass tail bro dang like good.

Speaker 2:

What's more, creature or whatever it was that you saw crawl like that, or seeing it, seeing, uh, seeing it propped up against the tree on two legs, just looking at you the propped up gets me more because I kind of like the other experience that I had at night that was at night the experience I had I kind of dismissed that one for the longest. I was like I literally just told myself, yeah, you were like, you used to hallucinate or something. I literally just told myself just to kind of forget about that. But seeing it popped up, it like it stopped. It legit stopped. That time it was just running across the street, but that time it stopped as it was coming up the road. It stopped and just looked at me.

Speaker 2:

Hell, no, but I don't, it doesn't. It doesn't look malicious or anything like that. It's just like a. It's just like like a creature, but just like an animal just out in the wild. But it's going about its day, going about his day. But but I've never seen, bro, like I try to look it up like a weasel. Just imagine a combination of a weasel with like a fox or something like that, something like that. Bro, I don't know bro, it was just crazy, bro, it was just crazy and I saw that today, bro, literally before I called you, I seen it. But yeah, bro, that's about it For this week. That's the craziest that happened this week Craziest, craziest, craziest.

Speaker 1:

That's the highlight. Really, it might be somebody that escaped one of the rehabilitation centers, bro.

Speaker 2:

Right, something, the rehabs, the rehabs, bro, something bro, I don't know what it could be.

Speaker 1:

Because when me and my girlfriend went one morning to go get breakfast or whatever, and then sorry, and we were like, let's just park right here in front of like the auto zone or advance and we'll eat right here. I'm over here getting my sam, my biscuit out, about to tear this shit up, bro, there's this lady that comes running out from I don't know where she came from, but she's like running and then she's like coming towards the car.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Shit might be some of the funniest shit though, but the one I'll be liking, but that dude I show. I said to you like when they say, uh, some, some stuff, they're like ah, you don't talk about, like, we're just like get us a chorizo uh, oh, yeah I'll be dying on those, bro.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, they do have a different type of humor over there, like Mexico or whatever, like they. They don't hold back bro. They don't hold back one bit bro.

Speaker 2:

I can't even describe nothing like too much comes to mind to pinpoint one single thing. But it'd just be awful, bro.

Speaker 1:

They don't be holding back for real, bro to me it's almost the same as like Xbox 360, modern Warfare 2, lobbies type shit. Very accurate, very accurate representation Pretty much, pretty much.

Speaker 2:

It's equivalent to that. It's equivalent. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1:

I'm talking about slurs, Anything under the sun you're going to be called.

Speaker 2:

Not even that, it's just the jokes that make a body. Nah, this is one I've seen where this dude he was acting tough and so there was like a car going by and he flicks him off or something. So everybody stops and then they come back. It's like, hey, what's up? You flicking me off, Like what's good. And all his friends are like bro, that dude that flicked him off, sorry, he got a disability. And everybody's like nah, nah, nah, stop, see, he's a little sick. He's a little sick, stop, something wrong with him. And the dude's over there just tweaking and shit and everybody's like leave him alone, something wrong with him, leave him alone, leave him alone. The dude, dang, dang right, walks away, bro, and the dude just all right, they gone.

Speaker 2:

Bro, it just On the Tuesday, bro. They just dropped that on the Tuesday. Bro Should be going crazy bro Casual type shit. It's casual, bro, casual, and that's really what brings the community together? Really Just being able. People get too uptight and then they can't joke. That's when society fails, man. That's right. I heard it here first.

Speaker 1:

That's when all the fun leaves, bro, and when the fun leaves.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, the tree leaves, all right.

Speaker 1:

All right, so let's go ahead and give them the subjects that they came here for Yayo. They done heard enough of our banter.

Speaker 2:

We done, stalled them enough.

Speaker 1:

Enough. We're really just pushing for numbers. We're really just trying to make sure y'all get two hours worth of video so we can push our algorithm out there and have our streams boosted up.

Speaker 2:

It's all no numbers game, Roscoe.

Speaker 1:

Y'all got 100% retention on them. 30-minute videos. We got like 60% on them. Two-hour video episodes, all right.

Speaker 2:

So we're going to start off today. Was it Creepypastas, right, mm-hmm?

Speaker 1:

All right, all right, we're going to start off with Creepypastas. I know we hit it briefly on the last episode, uh-huh.

Speaker 2:

But we figured we'd cover some good creepy. So good, let me. Let me tell you what my dumb ass was doing. My dumb, my dumb ass was copying everything off and then I realized it's just a creepy pasta. I'm not taking notes off of it, so I just loaded. I just copied the webpages instead. But I don't bro, I was, I was just going this copy paste, copy I was like why the fuck am I doing this?

Speaker 2:

I'm just reading uh, I'm just reading the stories. Why do I gotta do this? Alright, innovation here. Innovation here.

Speaker 1:

Go ahead, I'll let you start off. Why don't we start off? Okay?

Speaker 2:

okay.

Speaker 1:

Alright, I got you bro.

Speaker 2:

No, I'm just joking. Go ahead. Y'all ready for my beautiful voice? Check this out, I got, I got.

Speaker 1:

Oh, you're on the website, on the website itself.

Speaker 2:

Oh shit, that's the one you don't cover.

Speaker 1:

You see it, you see it. That one was Did you ever get into it? Did you watch videos and everything about?

Speaker 2:

it? No, I just read it. Oh no, no, I just read it. I watched the videos. That's where it's good. No, because the only time I had it was at night.

Speaker 1:

I was not about to be watching that at night, that's the time Live a little. I do Live a little silly Live a little silly.

Speaker 2:

I just heard that dude's voice. Nah, let me tell you why I did it. So I did a little one up. That dude's voice pissed me off, bro. What did it say? No, the way they be reading. No, no offense to y'all. No offense to y'all, but the way they were. Like their voice, they be doing it.

Speaker 1:

So today we are covering, yeah bro, one of the most famous and most disturbing creepypastas. I couldn't, bro Yayo FYB, if you are listening to this episode just know, my voice is not fucking annoying, look.

Speaker 2:

I know they got their own thing going on, but I came, I came, bro, they gonna listen to us talking.

Speaker 1:

Y'all talking about me.

Speaker 2:

I ain't say I was perfect.

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying. That's why I'm staying quiet, I'm on reverence 811 hold on. Let me drop a name please, little bro, my fault big bro.

Speaker 2:

I wasn't even in this.

Speaker 1:

What the fuck?

Speaker 2:

I do All right, so check this out. Ah, Ah, go ahead, go ahead, all right, I was an intern at Nickelodeon.

Speaker 1:

Hold on, let me do it like that.

Speaker 3:

Hold on, oh yeah uh, this is uh, yeah, I guess I'll give you five times wrong squidward suicide.

Speaker 2:

All right, I'm about to do. I was an intern nickelodeon studios. I can't do it low-key. It's harder than it looks than it sounds. I'll give him that it's a talent.

Speaker 2:

It's a talent I give you. I give him that. All right, I was an intern nickelodeon studios for a year in 2005 for my degree in animation. I wasn't paid of course most internships aren't, but it did have some perks beyond education. To adults it might not seem like a big one, but most kids at the time would go crazy over it. Now, since I worked directly with the editors and animators, I got to view the new episodes days before they aired. Alright, sorry, I'll get right to it without giving too many unnecessary details. They had very recently made the spongebob movie and the entire staff was somewhat snapped or sapped of creativity, so it took them longer to start up the season, but the delay lasted longer. For more upsetting reasons, there was a problem with these series for premiere, with the series for premiere that say everyone and everything. Back for several months, me and two other interns were in the editing room along with the lead animator, uh-oh.

Speaker 1:

Uh-oh, reverend, where's the rest of the story?

Speaker 2:

A little small panic got inside my heart.

Speaker 1:

I said uh-uh, ain't, no way. It's because I was looking at. I was looking at Yayo's phone and I saw he reached the bottom of the page and his face just went like wait a minute. Where's the rest of the story?

Speaker 2:

No, my ears are red, bro, my ears are red.

Speaker 1:

That's about to say nah, there's three more, bro, I've had to have. I'm not new to the game, but I've done had to have it.

Speaker 2:

When I was copying and pasting the same thing happened I said, but I was here for a whole story. And then I saw the read oh, okay, okay, let me start over. I'm going to stop Now.

Speaker 2:

I'm gonna stop now I'm just playing. Oh, me and two other interns were in the editing room along with the lead animators and sound editors for the final cut. We received the final copy. That was supposed to be fear of a Krabby Patty and gather around the screen to watch. Now, given that it's final yet it's final yet.

Speaker 2:

Animators often put up a mock title for the card, sort of an inside joke for us with phony, often lewd titles such as how Sex Doesn't Work instead of Rockabye Bevolve when Spongebob and Patrick adopted Sea Scallop Nothing particularly funny but work-related chuckles. So when we saw the title card Squidward's Suicide, we didn't think it more than a morbid joke. One of the interns did a small throw laugh at it. The happy-go-lucky music plays as normal. The story began with Squidward practicing his clarinet, hitting a few sour notes, like normal. We hear Spongebob laughing outside and Squidward stops yelling at him to keep it down as he has concert that that night and needs to practice. Spongebob says okay and goes to see sandy with patrick. The bubble splash screen comes up and we see the ending of squidward's concert.

Speaker 2:

This is when things begin to seem off. While playing, a few frames repeat themselves, but the sound doesn't. At this point sound is synced up with the animation. So yes, that's not common, but when he stops playing the sound finishes as if the skip never happened there. There's a slight murmuring in the crowd before they begin to boo him Not normal cartoon booing, that is common in the show but you can very clearly hear Madison Squidward's in full frame and looks visibly afraid. The shot goes to the crowd with SpongeBob in center frame and he too is booing. Very much unlike him. This isn't the oddest thing, though. What is odd, everyone had hyper-realistic eyes, very detailed, clearly not shots of real people's eyes, but something a bit more real than CGI. The pupils were red. Some of us looked at each other, obviously confused, but since we weren't the writers, we didn't question his appeals with children. Yet the shot goes to Squidward sitting on the edge of its bed, looking very forlorn. The view out of this porthole window is of a night sky. So it's very long after the concert.

Speaker 2:

The unsettling part at this point there is no sound, literally no sound, not even the feedback from the speakers in the room. It's as if the speakers were turned off, though their status showed them working perfectly. He just sat the speakers in the room. It's as if the speakers were turned off, though their status showed them working perfectly. He just sat there blinking in the silence for about 30 seconds. Then he started to sob softly. He put his hands tentacles over his eyes and cried quietly for a full minute or more. All the while a sound in the background were very slowly growing from nothing to barely audible. It sounded like a slight breeze through a forest.

Speaker 2:

The screen slowly began to zoom in on his face, by by slow. I mean it only noticeable if you look at shots 10 seconds apart. Side by side. His sobbing uh gets louder, more full of heart and anger. The screen then twitches a bit, as if it twists in on itself for a split second, then backs to normal. The wind through the trees, sound gets slowly louder and more severe, as if a storm is brewing somewhere. The eerie part is the sound and Squidward sobbing sounded real, as if the sound wasn't coming from the speakers, but as if the speakers were hoarse. The sound was coming through from the other, but as if the speakers were holes. The sound was coming through from the other side. As good as sound as the studio likes to have, they don't purchase the equipment to be that good to produce sound of that quality, below the sound of the wind and sobbing very faint. Something sounded like laughing. It came at all intervals and never lasted more than a second, so you had a hard time pinning it.

Speaker 2:

We watched this show twice, so pardon me if things sound too specific, but I've had time to think about them. After 30 seconds of this, the screen blurred and twitched violently and something flashed over the screen as if a single frame was replaced. The lee animation editor paused and rewound frame by frame. What we saw was horrible. It was a still photo of a dead child. He couldn't have been more than six. The face was mangled and bloodied, one eye dangling over his upturned face popped. He was naked down to his underwear, his stomach crudely cut open and his intros laying beside him. He was laying on some pavement. That was probably a road.

Speaker 2:

The most upsetting part was that there was a shadow of the photographer. There was no crime tape, no evidence tags or markers, and the angle was completely off for a shot designed to be evidence. It would seem the photographer was the person responsible for the child's death. We were of course mortified but pressed on hoping that it was just a sick joke. The screen flipped back to Squidward, still sobbing louder than before, and half-body in frame there. A sick joke. The screen flipped back to squidward, still sobbing louder than before, and have body in frame. That was now what appeared to be blood running down his face from his eyes. The blood was also done in a hyper realistic style, looking as if you touch, if you got blood on your fingers. The wind sounded now as if it was, if it were that of a gal blown gal blowing through the forest. There were even snapping sounds of branches, the laughing, a deep bird tone lasting at longer intervals, coming more frequently, about 20 seconds.

Speaker 2:

The screen again twisted and showed a single frame photo. The editor was reluctant to go back. We all were, but he knew he had to this time. The photo was that of what appeared to be a little girl, no older than the first child. She was laying on her stomach, her barrettes, in the pool of blood next to her. Her left eye was too popped out and popped naked except for underpants. Her intros were piled on top of her above. Another crew cut along her back. Again, the body was on the street and the photographic shadow was visible, very similar in size and shape to the first. I had to choke back and vomit. One intern the only female in the room ran out.

Speaker 2:

The show resumed About five seconds after the second photo played. Squidward went silent, as did all sound like it was when this scene started. He put his tentacles down and his eyes were now done in hyper-realism like the others were in the beginning of the episode. They were bleeding, bloodshot and pulsating. He just stared at the screen as if watching the viewer. After about 10 seconds he started sobbing, this time not covering his eyes. The sound was piercing and loud. The most fear-inducing of of all, his sobbing was mixed with screams, tears and blood were dripping down his face at a heavy rate. The wind sound came back and so did the deep voice laughing.

Speaker 2:

This time the still photo lasted for a good five frames. The animator was able to stop it on the fourth and back up. This time the photo was of a boy about the same age, but this time the scene was different. The intros were just being pulled out from a stomach wound by a large hand, the right eye popped and dangling blood trickling down it. The animator proceeded. It was hard to believe. But the next one was different, but he couldn't tell what. He went on to the next same thing. He went back to the first and played the quicker, played them quicker and lost it. And I lost it. I vomited on the floor. The animating and sound editor is gasping at the screen.

Speaker 2:

The five frames were not as if they were five different photos. They were played out as if they were frames from the video. We saw the hand slowly lift out the guts. We saw the kid's eyes focus on it. We even saw two frames of the kid beginning to blink. The lead sound editor told us to stop. He had to call in the creator to see this.

Speaker 2:

Mr heilenberg arrived with about 15 minutes. He was confused as to why he was called down there, so the editor just continued the episode. Once a few frames were shown all screaming, all sound again stopped. Squidward was just staring at the viewer, full frame of the face, for about three seconds. The shot quickly panned out. The shot quickly panned out and that deep voice said do it. And we see in Squidward's hands a shotgun. He immediately put the gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger. Realistic blood and brain matter splatters the wall behind him and his bed and he flies back with the force. The last five seconds of the episode show his body on the bed On his side we're not dangling out what's left on his head above the floor staring blankly at it. Then the episode ends. Mr Highlander is obviously angry at this. He demands to know what the heck was going on. Most people left the room at this point, so it was just a handful of us to watch it again. Viewing the episode twice only served to imprint the entirety of it in my mind and caused me horrible nightmares. I'm sorry I stayed.

Speaker 2:

The only theory we could think of was the file was edited by someone in the chain to join studio to hear the CTO was called in to analyze it. To analyze what? When it happened? The analysis of the file did show it was edited over by new material. However, the timestamp of it was a mere 24 seconds before we began viewing it. All equipment involved was examined for foreign software and hardware, as well as glitches, as of the timestamp may have glitched and show the wrong time, but everything checked out fine. We don't know what happened and to this day nobody does. There was an investigation due to the nature of the photos, but nothing came out of it. No child scene was identified. No clues were gathered from the data involved, nor physical clues in the photos. I never believed in unexplainable phenomenon before, but now that I have something happened, I can't prove anything about it beyond anecdotal evidence. I think twice about things.

Speaker 1:

The end damn who read the whole creepy pasta thing we weren't supposed to. Oh no, no, that's good I'm just gonna hit mom briefly. Oh, go ahead no, no no, you're good, though, bro, you're good. Um, that was good, that was good. I knew about that one man, I think if you, oh no, the camera is dead.

Speaker 2:

Squidward did it.

Speaker 1:

No, all right, we're going to take a quick break. Our camera died, we'll be right back. All right, now we're back Because this is a sound cue, like you'll see the line when it spikes up like that. Whenever he'll learn, he'll stuff like that. Whenever he'll learn ah, he'll learn y'all chat, he'll learn whenever he gets that pc. All right. So, um, all right, we're back. Y'all. Sorry about that. The camera had the camera had died and uh, we're trying to get footage, keep footage. But, um, all, right back where we left off. Dang bro, but I didn't know that you.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry I do not remember how do you?

Speaker 1:

how do you do that? When I left the time stamp in my brain, I said 44, 45, 44, 42, huh I said resume um, we were talking about the whole, like because you read the whole thing, uh-huh, that's, that's right. I did the whole. I heard about that squidward one like. I heard about it when I was growing up but I didn't know. I knew it was like a lost episode. That's like a common thing that most cartoons have like lost episodes.

Speaker 1:

But that's like a creepiest possible thing, okay, okay well, some cartoons actually do have like that creepy episode though. Oh, okay, like I think.

Speaker 2:

Like some crazy shit, like that like. Yeah, yeah Like some of them, but not like to that extent, not to that extent.

Speaker 1:

But they are like A little bit darker Than usually. Oh, okay, okay. This shit a little Little grim.

Speaker 2:

Okay, okay, I mean old cartoons. Were like that, though that makes sense, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Like the one we're talking about, tom and Jerry, that one had that. It had like a dark episode Uh-huh, where at the end they ended up like you know.

Speaker 2:

They ended up dying or something like that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they ended up going on train tracks at the end of the episode. Uh-huh, uh-huh, but I don't know, so you never heard that one then.

Speaker 2:

I never. Who was reading this as a kid? Nah, bro, if I was reading those as a kid, I'd be. I'd be a whole psychopath, bro.

Speaker 1:

I read it. I'll Watch YouTube videos about it. Chilling, bro, chilling Just watching them. It didn't do nothing to me, bro.

Speaker 2:

Nah, it's, it's not. It's not, it's not that scary, it's just. It's weird, though it's like.

Speaker 1:

It is unsettling.

Speaker 2:

There you go, it's unsettling. Unsettling but it intrigues you uh huh, like it got me thinking like what if this was real? Though like, like what if it actually did happen? They're just trying to pass it off as a creepypasta, though that shit was good though that shit was good right.

Speaker 1:

I just can't remember the whole details about that one don't worry about reading again, but well, after you're ready I learned about it, but other than that I couldn't remember like all the stuff that the people had said about it or whatever. All right, we're going to talk about one of my favorite creepypastas and that's when I kind of slightly covered last episode. This has been drowned haunted majora's mass cartridge. Did you read?

Speaker 2:

you have this one too uh, no, I don't have it, but I I read part of it, but it was like really long, like for the whole thing. So I was like it's too long. Yeah, I was like too long, too long, so this is like a short uh short, compacted version of everything okay, okay okay.

Speaker 1:

So it was created by Alex Hall in 2010 as a creepypasta web series. It centers around a haunted Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask cartridge. The tale unfolds through a series of videos, forum posts and in-universe documents, forming one of the first ARGs. Arg just stands for Alternate Reality in the creepypasta world. Okay.

Speaker 1:

A little backstory. So the protagonist, a college student, buys a used Majora's Mask cartridge from an old man. The game contains a storage, I mean a strange save file labeled Ben. The player experiences bizarre endgame glitches. This story and music reverse controls, npcs behaving abnormally, link, spontaneously catching fire and being stalked by a statue of the Elegy of Emptiness. The entity, the entity known as Ben, is a malevolent spirit trapped within the cartridge. He manipulates the game world and causes horrifying hallucinations and real world disturbances. It's implied Ben was a boy who drowned under mysterious circumstances and now uses the cartridge as a vessel. So they say Ben manipulates digital media, blending the digital and the real world. The narrative the narrative explores AI, sentence possession and the concept of cursed data.

Speaker 1:

so pretty much like um, pretty much what that's saying is like if you're playing, if it is like if it was real and you were playing a game, like it'd kind of like break the fourth wall or third wall, whatever it's called and start talking to you but like, like it would like you'd be literally walking and he'd stop and he'd slowly turn around and look directly at you and say something like this is getting a bit boring, or some shit or just talking about like, but the main thing is that he's turning around and talking to you.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I know, bro, that's what I'm saying and it's just like shit like that, like he'd start doing shit like that. So over time the ARG evolved to include a fictional organization called the Moon Children who worship the digital God and I really don't have too much details on that. But Ben Drowned helped popularize creepypasta as a multimedia experience. So pretty much like from this creepypasta people didn't just do from like stories, they actually like implemented, like make games. Didn't just do from like stories, they actually like implemented, like make games out of it and stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

You know I'm saying yeah, or?

Speaker 1:

use it like as a reference, or use what the creepy pasta was based off of and implod it into like other things, like other video games, or well, I pretty much just said that, but yeah, you know I'm saying yeah, yeah, you get it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like they were. Yeah, they were just using that as as yeah, it's inspiration for the stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, it says right here influence many other haunted stories and video based horror format, pet scoop and uh, that's pretty much it for this one I mean there's obviously the whole creepypasta, but I'm not gonna read the whole four. Yeah, it's gonna be too long, yeah, but yeah, like I mean, if you do it that's fine, but if it's both, was reading the whole thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's gonna be too long for everybody. And I saw that one because it tells you uh, the, the like the average reading time for it. That one said 49 minutes yeah we ain't doing all that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm gonna touch on it briefly, but that's that's about it, okay, um, but yeah, besides that, I had that whole experience that I had with the two what they're appearing on the side of the screen. But I know they say it's a creepy pasta, bro, but hear me out. All right. Okay, go ahead. What are we gonna?

Speaker 2:

say go ahead, okay, look, I believe in. And then topos. I know I said it here before, but topos are like, if you give it, give something enough energy, or like, believe something enough, I believe that something enough, I believe that something like it could exist. And I feel like that's way easier with something like stuff like this where it's.

Speaker 1:

What do you mean? It's already popularized.

Speaker 2:

It's already popularized it's. I feel like stuff that has a creep factor is easier for that stuff to to exist. Like how do I say it? Like exist, or like exists, or like happened to you, or like like that bro, like like like what happened to you. I feel like I believe you when you say like you, you started seeing. Like his head pop out. Head pop out. I believe it, bro. I believe it Cause they don't believe me.

Speaker 1:

The ones that's out my head, tell me I'm wrong. Everyone says I'm crazy.

Speaker 2:

But, um, everyone says I'm crazy. But I believe you, bro, I believe especially I'm crazy. No, no, but especially as a kid, bro. And then you watching it by yourself, and then maybe maybe it wasn't just the creepypasta doing that, maybe it was something else that saw it. Saw you getting like, oh, he's interested in this, and just the creepypasta doing that, maybe it was something else that saw it.

Speaker 1:

That's what I was about to say.

Speaker 2:

Saw you getting like oh, he's interested in this Mm-hmm and started like fucking around with it, fucking with it, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

Speaker 1:

So I was just about to say I was going to say like, maybe like, because you know they say like demons, roam, ghosts or whatever you want to call them, spirits or whatever. Yeah, and they're always like plotting, they're always like how could I scare this right, this yn, real quick as one is, as my four percent is according to my ancestry I can't say it all the way I could at least call refer to myself as a yn um.

Speaker 1:

So I'm there, you know, casually chilling, clenching my butt cheeks while watching youtube videos laying on my stomach kicking my feet up, california girl style, you know, just kicking my feet up all dark though all dark and maybe like since I was by myself maybe like the ghost or whatever, whatever it was like let me, let me fuck around with this little, this little mexican kid real quick.

Speaker 1:

And it did that to scare me because no cab bro, like I did, feel like my face went cold, my body went when you saw that like when, when it just started popping up like from the left side to the center of the screen, well, like from his left side, poking his head, going back top down, going down.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, see that's, yeah that's wait a minute.

Speaker 1:

Because I started realizing. I was like wait a minute, what is going on here? Then that's when I felt like bro, I felt like I don't know, like all the blood in my body just left. I was like I felt fear. At that time I was like, holy shit, not because of it, I guess, more like of what happened, of like more.

Speaker 1:

I was more like I'm actually experiencing something oh, okay, okay and that right there was, like it, it kind of like sent me like down a turmoil. I guess you would say like was that your first time reality?

Speaker 2:

what's? Was that your first time experiencing something? Like that I guess so, because the first time I experienced something like scary it oh, it didn't miss you it messed me up, bad, like the first time I experienced like and I was I was not that little, but like actually experiencing like. I had other accounts, other stuff happening, but like, actually like experiencing something Bro. I had a fever for like three days bro.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, you did say that.

Speaker 2:

Like I was scared, scared like first time bro, like actually getting that first fit, like actual fear. Fear, bro it. It messes you. I at least, at least for me, it messed me up. But, um, what were you saying? My bad, I mean, no, no you good, bro.

Speaker 1:

You just kind of unlocked the memory in my head from when I was like a little kid, because I used to live like in lankson 10 or whatever, and I remember at times that we stayed up real late, our moms would like tell us not to stay up too late. But I remember one times that we stayed up real late, our moms would tell us not to stay up too late. But I remember one time because we used to sometimes sleep in the living room with my mom and she said not to be awake so late because you would hear things or whatever. And I remember hearing the door knock. I mean, somebody knocked at the door and it was like I didn't know what time it was.

Speaker 2:

I was a little kid, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Probably 10 o'clock, like 3 o'clock yeah.

Speaker 2:

You know I was a little kid, or whatever the kid time.

Speaker 1:

But everybody was asleep, tv was on maybe, and I was like somebody's at the door knocking Uh-huh. And you know, a little voice in my head is like you know, no one, don't, don't do nothing, just wake me up, or something. I told my mom was like someone's at the door and she didn't believe me and she's like go to sleep and I could have sworn. I heard somebody like knock again I'm like what the fuck? I need to check who it is.

Speaker 1:

And this is where it starts to get like fuzzy, I can't remember if I did cut on the light and I didn't see no one standing there, or if my stepdad woke up and he just swung the door open and looked outside, but didn't see nobody it was something like that.

Speaker 2:

I can't remember, but nobody was there yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Then it happened this other time and I don't know if somebody had gotten into a wreck down the road from where we live and they came to the house knocking for help or something. But I remember my stepdad did wake up and he went out there and talked to somebody or some shit, or the police came, or I can't remember. I was like a little kid. I was probably like five six, some shit like that. But, um, but, but um. What was I saying about the whole creepypasta thing?

Speaker 1:

sorry, my fault no, you're good, you're good um just like something just watching you, just trying to scare you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah you say you were just feeling like you, you felt, you felt cold oh, yeah, seeing seeing, seeing the faces.

Speaker 1:

Uh, pop up, pop up, right and it was more like, like I said, like I couldn't tell, like what, what reality was like it felt like you felt like you were somewhere else for a second it didn't feel like anything was real, like dang, so all this scary shit is real.

Speaker 2:

Well, oh you weren't believing like you didn't believe at the point at the time.

Speaker 1:

You weren't like I was real skeptical back in the day, okay, okay I was like, until I had that one moment like with the bruja, whatever, oh fuck, that's when, I like, it all changed. Oh, you were skeptical, still back then I didn't believe it.

Speaker 2:

So even like even the stories.

Speaker 1:

I would tell you stuff like that.

Speaker 2:

No, I did believe you, but it was like for me in my sense yeah, but like, but like you were like no, that could never happen to me. Type shit, yeah, like that type of yeah.

Speaker 3:

Like I ain't worried about any of that shit, because I was always on that timing, bro, always, yeah, yeah yeah, and it reminds me of this other story bro.

Speaker 1:

Go ahead, bro, Go ahead bro, I was a little kid and I don't know what happened, but they left me in the van, alright, we came back from either Raleigh or some shit, and it was like late at night, probably like 10, 11, some shit. We got home, I woke up, I was in the van. I was in the van by myself, uh-huh no, everybody was out out of the van.

Speaker 1:

Lights were off, van was locked I mean van was uh, um, yeah, it was locked or some bullshit, and I'm like where the fuck is everybody at? So you, literally, I just woke up, I was like where?

Speaker 2:

is it as a kid too? As a kid?

Speaker 1:

yeah, and I saw that the kitchen light was still on. So I was like what the fuck? So I get out the van, I close the door and it's pitch black outside bro. No light, nothing bro. And I'm walking to the front back door. I'm over there, I wasn't even afraid, bro.

Speaker 2:

I, I wasn't even afraid, bro. Yeah, you were just Like walking up. I mean, to be fair, when you don't know fear, you literally cannot be, you can't.

Speaker 1:

But it was like spooky when I thought about it. Oh, you thought about it no, no, no, not at that time.

Speaker 2:

But now, when I'm thinking about it now, oh, it's spooky. It was like an abandoned house right beside us, but at the time rinky dinky building right there like little shed or whatever.

Speaker 1:

And uh like, a perfect setup, perfect setup, okay. And I remember knocking. I think my brother answered the door, or my stepdad, and they're like oh, there goes, there goes, reverence right there we found them, motherfuckers, y'all left me in the fucking.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he was like we were looking for you, or he was like there you are, or some shit like that. I'm like, bruh, I was asleep in the van. Y'all really fucking left me in there Whole time. They're over there going around like nothing happened or some shit. Bruh, I'm like I fucking hate it here. I fucking hate, but I'm not trying to trauma, jump on y'all, but um, what else happened? It was just like, like, like I just said that For, like, the aspect of like Me being outside, as a little kid.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, as a little kid being and not having that fear Uh huh, you know what I'm saying. I mean I did have like nightmares and shit like that.

Speaker 2:

Or wake up in the middle of the night when I'm like, oh, um, something's gonna get me, or something but that type of fear I feel like, until you like um, like, meet something like that, like the unknown, really like or like feeding your brain with images and shit, uh-huh like watching that's.

Speaker 2:

That's way different because, as a kid, I mean, to be fair, I really wasn't scared either. Like the dark and a night, uh, I could just walk out and back then where we used to live. I mean they had like a light, but I mean it was like if you went out at night it looked like kind of kind of creepy. Nobody really out there. You know, you hear the wind blowing. Um, it really wasn't scary. But like I feel like after like learning a bunch of stuff, seeing a bunch of stuff, you know being exposed to all that, but it was like at night sometimes like I wouldn't want to step outside at the other place, but I like I'd be like, and especially after the stuff that happened to me at the other house, I didn't want to step out. I didn't want to step out like that either, but like when the dogs want to go use the bathroom, we're going to get killed, man.

Speaker 2:

We're going to get taken into the woods, man man just because I can't hold it in man. That's why I took you when there was sun out.

Speaker 1:

That's why I took you out there. I can't stand y'all doing this shit to me. Ooh again, Nah, but like.

Speaker 2:

I feel like that plays a factor into your own fear, like being exposed to this stuff. But you say you weren't scared of this, like you would listen to creepypastas and see all this stuff and you weren't like affected to it. But seeing the little face pop up actually started getting to you.

Speaker 1:

That's yeah, that did get to me right there. It did. It did scare me bro. I ain't gonna lie bro. I mean I say I'd say all the other stuff really didn't get to me, but when that actually happened, like just seeing the face pop up.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it just gave me a sense of like hold up maybe and then going back, and then going back to uh to see it and it wasn't there it wasn't.

Speaker 1:

It wasn't there, bruh, but I know y'all not gonna believe me. I know y'all not gonna believe me, but I swear on everything. It y'all just had to be there. No, I believe you just had to be there, bruh but, like I said, it might be like, like, like we said, like a spirit somehow it could have been manipulating something, just like to try and play on your fears and stuff like that. That's what that's what I'm guessing.

Speaker 2:

That's that's a very viable uh explanation to to what happened. I wouldn't say precisely, the video itself being like uh I hate to use the word like haunted, you know, I wouldn't say, but maybe something, just what was watching was like maybe you know, like oh, he acting like he's not afraid, I'm about to give him something to be to be afraid, or maybe they wanted to test you, or something like that. I don't know, I'm just speculating, but damn, that's crazy bro.

Speaker 1:

I know, bro, it is pretty crazy. But that's enough of that, bro, go ahead, let the people hear the creepypastas, alright, alright, my fault y'all. They said we don't give a fuck. We're the creepypastas Not for y'all, we'll give y'all what y'all want.

Speaker 2:

All right, I'm going to give y'all a bit of a broken down. Broken down, so what is it called? I'm going to give you the overview of the creepypasta, okay.

Speaker 1:

Well, if you want to read the whole thing, read the whole thing. It's like nine minutes. Well, if you want to read the whole thing, read the whole thing. It's like nine minutes. That's cool. It's cool, okay, but what y'all think, y'all, y'all want to listen to it. I mean that's fine, because mine are going to be quick, so it'll be fine.

Speaker 2:

Okay, bet, bet.

Speaker 2:

All right. Okay, this is the story of the Eyeless Jack creepypasta man. My shit about to get a virus. All right. A week after I moved in with my brother, edwin already lost. After my house was foreclosed, I finished unpacking. I finished unpacking. Edwin liked the idea of me moving in, since we had not seen each other for 10 years, so I was excited too.

Speaker 2:

I soon fell asleep after I moved in. After that first week I heard rustling noises coming from outside at about 1 in the morning. I thought it was a raccoon, so I ignored it and tried to fall asleep. The next morning I told Edwin about it and he agreed. The next night, however, I thought I heard my window opening in a loud thump, as if something entered my room. I darted up and looked around my room, but I saw nothing.

Speaker 2:

The next morning, edwin dropped his coffee cup when he saw me. He held up and near my barrel and I saw myself. I had a large gash in my left cheek. After I was rushed to the hospital, my doctor told me that I must have been sleepwalking, but then he showed me something that made my blood turn cold. He lifted up my shirt to reveal a soon open session where my kidneys were. I stared into his eyes, mind widening you somehow lost your left kidney. Last night, my doctor told me. We don't know how, though. Sorry, mitch.

Speaker 2:

The next night was my breaking point. Around midnight I woke up to see a truly horrifying sight. I was staring face to face with the creature with the black hoodie and the dark blue mask, with no nose or mouth, staring down at me. The thing has scared me the most was that it had no eyes, just empty black sockets. The creature also has some black substances substance dropping from its sockets. I grabbed a camera from nearby mantle and took a picture immediately. Immediately after taking the shot, the creature lunged at me and tried to claw open my chest to get my lungs. I stopped by kicking it in the face. As I ran out of my room, I grabbed my wallet. I would need the money. I ran out of my brother's house into the night.

Speaker 2:

I eventually ended up in the woods near Edwin's house and tripped on a rock. I fell unconscious and woke up in the hospital. My doctor the same one who treated me before entered the room. I have good news and bad news, mitch. My doctor started. The good news is that you had minor injuries and your parents are going to pick you up. I sighed with relief. The bad news is that your brother has been killed by someone. Dang sorry.

Speaker 2:

My parents took me back to edwin's house to collect my remaining belongings, which I did. Upon entering my room, I was scared but remained calm. I grabbed my camera and then stopped dead in my tracks in the hallway leading to my room. Uh, I saw edwin's body and something small lying next to it. I retrieved it. I retrieved it up and entered my parents car, not mentioning edwin's corpse. I look at the. I retrieved it up and entered my parents' car, not mentioning Edwin's corpse. I looked at the thing I had picked up and nearly vomited. I was holding my stolen half-eaten kidney with some black substance on it. Oh, that's it.

Speaker 2:

Oh that was it. That's it what.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I thought that was more to relate.

Speaker 2:

I thought so too. It said it was a nine-minute like more to like. I thought so. I thought so too. They said it was a nine minute.

Speaker 1:

Uh oh, six minutes, a six minute read. Oh, that was it then. That's it what it didn't really say much about it oh shit, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 2:

Did I miss something? That's it, because everything else is people breaking it down influences, I ain't never heard of this creepypasta.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's it. Okay, my fault. It doesn't really sound like creepypasta.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's it. Okay, my fault, it doesn't really sound like creepypasta.

Speaker 1:

It just sounds more like a murder mystery type thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it sounds something like that. Yeah, it don't.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it just sounds like Like stuff that people actually do have happen, right.

Speaker 2:

The one that got me. I about busted out laughing when he said I saw my and I just left it there. I was like bro, what are you talking about? Yeah he wilding for that one right there. Oh, no, yeah, I'm going to go all by my desk. Yeah, he did Ain't no point in it now, yeah, my fault. That was a little. I could have shown that one was longer.

Speaker 1:

All right, let me give y'all one right here.

Speaker 2:

Well, let me give y give you my last one, because I have. I have two good ones.

Speaker 1:

I'll let you pick which one you want to listen to. What you got, bro. I got the lavender town syndrome, the pokemon, the one with the song I showed you last time, or I have the sonic exe one.

Speaker 2:

That one's really good all right, do the sonic exe one all right.

Speaker 1:

So if y'all wanted to hear the lamar, to one, if y'all want to get mad Lamberton one if y'all want to get mad.

Speaker 1:

Y'all can get mad at Yaya. He don't know how to pick stories right. So this was created by user JC the Hyena aka Creepypasta writer, mr L Kruger, in 2011. It began as a short story about a bootleg Sonic game that was demonic in nature. So a boy receives a disc labeled simply Sonicexe from a friend.

Speaker 1:

When played, the game appears normal, but soon turns dark and horrifying. The title screen shows Sonic with bleeding black eyes and red pupils, accompanied by disturbing music. As the game progresses, familiar characters like Tails, knuckles and Robotnik are hunted and gruesomely killed by the corrupted version of Sonic. So the entity Sonic EXE is a demonic Eldritch version of the Sonic that has a hedgehog. He refers to himself as God with omnipotent control over the game and possibly the real world himself as god with omnipotent control over the game, and possibly the real world known for his crack, known for his catchphrase I am god, notably, speaks directly to the player and taunts them. So this represents like corrupted innocence, turning a beloved childhood game into a nightmare, often tied to the idea of cursed media and haunted files. And cursed media is just like. Uh, what is cursed media?

Speaker 2:

it's just like like regular media, but like with cursed, um hold on right here, it's just like unnatural effects.

Speaker 1:

So the media causes psychological paranormal effects like hallucination, madness, madness or death. It's usually untraceable. Usually people are like oh, I found this. I went to Blockbuster and when I got my DVD or movie that I rented it said the movie title. But it was taped on the side.

Speaker 2:

It said oh, okay, okay, so you know some shit like that, something you can't trace back right. Yeah, okay, gotcha.

Speaker 1:

Like wait a minute, this isn't the movie I rented. Why is there two naked chicks? Why is there two naked dudes? Dude, sometimes you do pull the bad straw.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes you got to make sure, you got to watch the whole video just to make sure, just to make sure.

Speaker 1:

I know there's a chick somewhere. Everybody you know everybody pulled up their pants. I know where's the chick. There's no way I spent 40 minutes watching two dudes just back out in unspeakable ways. There is a chick. Where's the deleted scenes?

Speaker 2:

hold on let me play it back, just make sure I ain't miss it. But yeah, that's pretty much it. Where's the deleted scene?

Speaker 1:

Hold on let me play it back, just make sure I miss it. But yeah, that's pretty much it, that impossible behavior, just like inescapable consequences or whatever Kind of like the ring. Okay, that would be like a cursed media type thing where you watch the movie and then you get the phone call. It said you got seven days or some shit like that. So, um, some versions of the story depict sonic exe as a literal demon who travels between dimensions and devour souls. So, despite being widely criticized for poor writing, the story became immensely popular, spawning fan-made games, sequels and remakes, countless youtube recreation videos and parodies.

Speaker 1:

Controversially removed from creepypastacom due to quality concerns, but remains iconic okay okay, but I remember as a little kid it was pretty crazy, like scary uh-huh, because uh, have you seen how sonic looks like you want me to look?

Speaker 2:

it up. Yeah, I think I've seen it. He like look grotesque, don't he.

Speaker 1:

With a red eye. Yeah, he just has like red eyes.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's it.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I've seen him there. I've seen some people use that skin on like games where you can have your own skin and stuff like that. Yeah, I've seen it, but, um, I just didn't know it was from there.

Speaker 1:

I just thought people were like, uh, just made him different, something like that. It's um, it was pretty crazy because I used to watch the videos on youtube, obviously, and I was watching somebody play the game or some shit like that. I think pewdiepie even played the game himself and, um, shout out, the man, pewdiepie. Um, I was like one of my favorite youtubers as a kid. But besides that, um, I remember, like you do play, as then he refers to himself as god or whatever, and it's like I don't remember if you're trying to escape him or some shit. You beat the level and at the end he just like catches up to them and then, like you just hear this scream, bro, like a freaking awful scream at the end, and he's just like you know, trigger warning or a little gruesome warning or whatever y'all want to say, but he ends up like killing them or whatever I don't remember if it shows it, or just like you just hear somebody like getting killed or it was some bullshit like that, but it was pretty, pretty awful bro damn, but that's pretty cool how they they used to be making like creepypastas out of

Speaker 2:

everything, then Everything Damn Like the cursed medium like we said About to make a creepypasta out of Cosmico.

Speaker 1:

That's what some people do, bro, Like uh.

Speaker 2:

Just out of anything right, just like out of.

Speaker 1:

I think it was like around one time where creepypastas were really popular, I think because of like slenderman and everything like that. You had slenderman, you had siren head, you had um the sonic exe, you had um. Oh, who else was popular?

Speaker 1:

maybe jeff the killer, I can't remember who else, but you had like pewdiepie playing the games, markiplier playing the games jacksepticeye, and I think markiplier ended up having his own like little creepypasta where he was like a little like evil markiplier playing the games Jacksepticeye, and I think Markiplier ended up having his own little creepypasta where he was like a little evil Markiplier kind of thing.

Speaker 3:

I think he played on it too, or some shit like that.

Speaker 1:

I can't really remember, but it was pretty cool. I liked it a whole lot.

Speaker 2:

That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, they make creepypastas out of everything, that's dope.

Speaker 2:

I though I mean it's creative, I I like it, it's, it's, it's, it's interesting, like, yeah, it really I can see it more as a little kid. Just, I mean now, I didn't even want to see the videos at night. I'll give them that I didn't want to see the videos at night because I seen it. I'll say nah, and then I guess it's my phone's connected to it's on youtube and it put it on the big screen like it put a video of the creep pops on the big screen like a recommendation.

Speaker 2:

I said, no, you give you guys, we're not doing, we're not doing that, we're not doing that at 12 at night we are home alone, we are not meeting him we are not doing this we are not doing that right now, but that's all I got, bro.

Speaker 1:

I had one more, but Well, I'm just gonna skip that, alright.

Speaker 2:

Just for time purposes. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

You got anything or you good.

Speaker 2:

It's another long one, but I can skip it too, just for the.

Speaker 1:

How long is it?

Speaker 2:

Oh, I'll tell you.

Speaker 1:

My fault y'all. I was yapping too much today. Nah, nah, nah nah. This stupid little cough. I can't get rid of it. Bruh them damn allergies or something.

Speaker 2:

Bruh, I was sick bruh, I was sick a couple days. Well, I thought I was. I woke up feeling sick, but it was just like it was just my allergies, like they just had me feeling uh it was the same way for me too, bruh, but I felt like I couldn't get rid of my cough.

Speaker 1:

I was coughing all night. I kept waking, waking up Blanca well, sorry, kept waking my girlfriend up and um but I just felt so weak. I felt like I was starting to get the chills and everything. That's when I know it's game over for me.

Speaker 2:

Bro, I had the chills too, yeah I had the chills too, and it was my throat too. I could like I wasn't coughing, but I just like, uh, my throat was just hurting like it was, just like it had my.

Speaker 2:

It had that raspy voice and everything but uh yeah, abusing it, abusing it but nah, but after I felt like that, till like yesterday I think, and today I felt woke up feeling, uh, a little off, a little off, but I, throughout the day I started feeling a little off, a little off, but throughout the day I started feeling a little better. Alright, so this was nine minutes it's up to you bro alright, bro, I got you, but this is called last creepypasta last one, last one. Hold on to your breeches. This is called Taurus season like the Zodiac.

Speaker 2:

Taurus, I said Taurus, taurus, taurus, yeah, taurus same thing, bro, taurus, taurus, yeah, taurus, same thing, taurus.

Speaker 1:

They know what you're talking about. My fault, y'all. He's a. He's a Capricorn.

Speaker 2:

Alright, what is now? Wait, what are you? I'm a Gemini, I'm an aquarium, an Aquarius. I got fishes and shit, you see that's.

Speaker 1:

He sounds like an Aquarius. Nah, I'm just joking. Nah, I'm just joking.

Speaker 2:

I got a low key, except when I see what all the do, you know what all the signs do?

Speaker 1:

we'll do, we'll do Zodiac signs right, cause I don't know, I don't know. No, we'll cover Zodiac signs.

Speaker 2:

I try to guess like girls better, so I need to know what those do. I really need to do that.

Speaker 1:

I was said to use it. Yo shit, we must be at Magic, Me remembering.

Speaker 2:

I've been saying the wrong shit all the time. I need to learn which one. All right, all right, let me read it from the beginning, just because of the last name. All right, I'm Chad Martinez, 15 years old, freshman, nickname Toto. It fits me to a T. Not only am I a bullhead, but I work hard and play harder, and my birthday is April 30. Up until recent events, my greatest ambition was to be on the varsity track team. I trained daily, doing laps and intervals before school and hitting the gym. Once the school, once the last bell rang. Every morning I looked in the mirror and told myself vale la pena, that means it's worth it, and I had to believe it. As a straight C student, I knew athletics were the only way I'd get into college. Not just at the athletics either, but track and field. Papa said I'd run like the wind. Mama said I'd run faster. Neither of them knew what happened to me a few weeks ago.

Speaker 1:

They wouldn't believe me anyway. Straight c is crazy man. He said that with his chest all right. Straight c, straight c.

Speaker 2:

Student bro all right, we in there. So have you heard of the minotaurs? Probably not. We're the loud, proud athletes of montrose uh high school. Our colors are maroon and gray and our mascot is wait for it a fiberglass minotaur named Mo More on him later, at 400 students. We're one of the smaller institutions in the state, but we fought hard against consolidation. Our track team boasted 26. Coach wanted to boost us to 30. Every slot was precious, but the last four were the most COVIDed. Mijo Papa said you got four years to get that far. Why the rush? Because competing is a rush.

Speaker 2:

When I win, I feel on top of the world, and when you lose you come home and eat all our chips and salsa, just like me. He had me there. I'm a growing boy. My job is to make sure you grow up, not out Again. He had me. Luckily, mama had some different advice. Go for it. Guess who I listen to. Guess who I try. Guess who I try not to listen to, even when he was barking orders. That's right, coach.

Speaker 2:

On the first day of tryouts I made the error of revealing my nickname along with my real name. He sized me up Toro, more like Mierda El Toro. My face grew hot. That's your name until you prove yourself MDT for short. Now give me 10 laps Humiliated. I could have refused, but I kept my head down and my feet pounding. That was the only way to win. I know coaches are supposed to make you mad, break you down, build you up again and push you beyond your limits until they're obliterated. Yet the more a coach called out MDT in the days that followed, the more a dark fire of rage and shame consumed me. Rage at the insult, sure, but also rage at myself for not being all I should. As for the shame, it ran deeper and burned harder In fits of frustration, which happen more and more often these days. Papa said that if I didn't get my shit together I wouldn't amount to anything. I'd be a criminal. On the 6 o'clock news, branded with a lifelong record, the track was my way out of Montrose, my ticket to a better future. So I better get more serious about it than anything else Except for to a better future. So I better get more serious about it than anything else except for family.

Speaker 2:

Of course, it didn't help that the roster was so limited. Even juniors and seniors had to start from scratch every year to earn the place on the team, no matter their previous accomplishments. I yearned to be among them. That meant taking on their spots. No wonder they glared at me with such disdain and resentment. Who did? I think I was anyway, just a lowly frost with high ambition. Only another ninth grader looked at me with anything resembling respect zach cunningham and homeschool transfer, who was behind in all his classes. Yet he ran like the devil was after him. I knew I couldn't measure up against every hopeful upperclassman or not, but at least I could put myself against zach and try to come out ahead. Operative word try. What are you doing? Mbt coach, yo, more than once. Run your own damn drills, yeah, but I had to run them cleaner, faster and harder than anybody if I were going to compete at the varsity level. Didn't the jefe with the whistle realize that Before trials were over, I absolutely had to defeat Zach so that coach would finally pay me some positive attention? Later? That night I know that we were all about to get too much of the opposite.

Speaker 2:

On the last day of tryouts, coach called us over to the bleachers and told us to look up. My jaw dropped, whoa Me to the minotaur. Molto minotaur stood up at the top, his eight-foot frame towering over each of us up at the top, his eight foot frame towering over each of us. Man's body, bull's head, maroon and gray shorts painted on with the mhs for montrose high school. Rumor had it that in the old days he used to wear a gold loincloth, but people kept taking it off and or stealing it. So mo, as intimidating at his charge ready expression looked, was essentially a steer and not a bull. Manny, a joke was made about that and Manny a snicker was stifled.

Speaker 2:

Coach took Mo seriously. Meet your joint instructor. Coach said, gesturing upwards, he'll supervise your final tryout. We laughed, our typical bro laugh of uh-huh, but stopped once we saw Coach's face. I swallowed hard and dare to ask a question uh, how you get mo up there? He climbed just like you're going to climb dead silence. Coach had lost it. He officially crossed the line from loco to loquissimo. Do you hear me? You are going to run the bleachers until mo says you're done translation. You are going to run the bleachers until Mo says you're done Translation. You are going to run the bleachers until you pass out, puke, quit or all three. When you reach Mo, tag him and call out the number that says you're on no line Warm up. Coach blew his whistle loud enough to set my teeth on edge. We warmed up and climbed up.

Speaker 2:

Ordinarily, if I were alone, I bound up the steps two or three at a time. Now I knew I couldn't afford that risk. I took each step one by one, followed coach's orders and headed down. So far, so good. After five of these runs, my quads ached a little, but I was nowhere near done. On your left, zach Cunningham passed me on the way up. My heart beat faster and I felt myself swelling bullets. This was my opportunity. I pumped my legs harder, swung my arms wider, reached sack and I took the lead. I couldn't believe it. I might get on the varsity squad after all. Not only that, but I also might impress Chandra and Kendra, these hot twins I wanted to get to know better. How I?

Speaker 2:

love to ask them to get spring formal, and afterwards how I love to ask them to get spring formal, and afterwards how I let. How I love to ask them to to the spring formal and afterwards get caught in between them. Dios mio, unlike Mo, I had a pair. I couldn't allow my boys to call the shots, not now. I have more work to do. No sandbagging, motherfuckers. Y'all can do better than that. Coach voice exploded. What a hypocrite he was sandbagging in a bullying sense. I ignored him up and down, up and down. None of us had time to ponder the absurdity of having an inanimate object. Tell us if we were finished.

Speaker 2:

We were all totally hard than we previously had, even during our infamous ladder workouts, with no defined set or time limit. The sky was the limit on how hard to push ourselves. And push we did. We groaned, grunted and panted like dogs, each of us a sweaty world onto himself. The occasion was a trial, but we busted ass like we were in the Olympics against Usain Bolt.

Speaker 2:

Though all my pain and suffering, I kept my eye on Zach. He reminded me of Ram stubborn and fiery, straight out of the gate and packing hell of a charge, but ultimately failing in the stretch, zach showed no sign of slowing down or tiring. However, he was making the rookie mistake of going all out on every run, not pacing himself properly. If you treat set tens like it's set one, thinking the end is on sight, you're not going to have enough energy. If Mo says you should keep going, speaking of which, he stood tall and silent, withstanding the hearty slaps we gave him. As much as we hated this workout, we loved it too, until our lower mascot started to change. I didn't notice it at first, being made out of fiberglass, moe absorbed sunlight, so I was careful not to slap him too aggressively or spend too much time near him when I did so.

Speaker 2:

On my 10th set, I did a double take. The air around him was shimmering with colorless steam, like you've seen on asphalt in the summer. I thought I better avoid touching him altogether, but coach bellowed Tag him. You losers. You afraid of a little heat? No, I was not afraid of a lot of heat, and Mo would only keep getting harder. So would I. Why was it so important that we tag him anyways? Hoping and praying that Coach would've noticed, I sat down on the bleachers for a brief break, I hoping and praying the coach would have noticed. I sat down on the bleachers for a brief break. I see you, mdt, are you pussying out? I heed the sigh still back up, wiped the sweat out of my eyes and went back to work. Zach passed me again.

Speaker 2:

At this point you might be wondering why I didn't call it quits and go into my core now routine. That would have been the smart thing to do. However, seeing the new kid's energy and speed, his continued stamina filled me with what we call ganas desire, desire not only to beat him but to pound him into the ground, stomp on him until I left cleat prints on his clean white jersey. As I continued to my 11th, 12th and 13th sense, I no longer care about making the Wall City team per se. My goal now was to make Zach Cunningham know and remember my name, recall me as the one freshman who not only caught him but smoked him. If I could do that, ranking among the upperclassmen afterwards would simply be a bonus. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't jealous, I was just competitive. Good job, cunningham. College coach. Way to hustle. Come on, mdt, pick it up. If I did that, I might not have enough reserve to do with three more sets, five, ten. Who knew when coach would blow his whistle and let us have a much-needed rest.

Speaker 2:

One more trip down to Bleachers. I was lucky I didn't trip. I prepared to start one more ascent. One thing stopped me dead in my tracks Mo. He was glowing Bright red. Oh, no fucking way. I was seeing things Having gotten way too hot way too fast. That had to be the recent smoke billow out of Mo's nostrils. He seemed to be grunting and heaving too, like he was getting ready to change. The others didn't notice, though. They kept running and tagging him like he wasn't already baking in the afternoon sun. Even zach was immune to mo's transformation. But what exactly was mo turned into, besides a raging bull?

Speaker 2:

I was transported back in time to one evening last fall with mama, papa and my grandparents, and the weirdest movie I ever seen is called metropolis and it's almost 100 years old. In it, a young, rich dude named Frederick is the son of a utopian leader. Everything is fine in the fair city, hence the title. But at what cost? Spoiler alert dehumanized workers wouldn't be enslaved to a giant machine.

Speaker 2:

In the only scene I remember, frederick discovered this device and the poor souls who man it. Like mo, it emits heat, but unlike mo, it can't reach a certain temperature without blowing up. The poor old guy operating the gauges can't keep pace. The master thermometer rises from 25 to 30 all the way to 50, at which point the multi-story machine machine explodes, belching steam everywhere and scowling the workers, several of them plumb to their deaths.

Speaker 2:

The gears that make the machine run stop rotating, allowing freeder, who was collapsed, to experience a nightmarish vision. Instead of being made of metal, the contraption turns into a stone statue with relentlessly stern eyes and embossed now in a mouth full of gear-like teeth. Frederick immediately recognizes the entity. Moloch, moloch, moloch, he cries. Two high priests stand at the threshold of the statue's mouth, supervising a willing slave into the churning furnace within Bart and Charlotte. These people, people, are cattle food for and every hungry god. They struggle and fight their fate as much as possible, but Marlux's appetite wins. Hold on, let me see if I can skip all this, bro. Let's do a time-bought story, bro.

Speaker 1:

This shit is pretty long bro.

Speaker 2:

Uh, okay, okay. To my horror, the monstrous deity and metropolis morph into the good old mo. The wannabes approached him, tagged him and called out ridiculous numbers 20, 25, no line. Coach, roy, do you want to be on this team or not? Someone too near the steamy statue cried out in pain and fell to his knees. Zach, you've finally given out. With my last remaining bit of strength, I ran back up the bleachers to help. Nah, he said. When I reached him and offered him a hand, his right hand was red and blistered. Come on, man, it's okay, you don't have to do any more. Sets Sacrifice, zach, moaned Mo and Coach demanded. I shook my head, snapping it back and forth. No, vale la pena, it's not worth it.

Speaker 2:

More students slowed down and ended their runs To Coach's profanity lays disappointment. A few of them passed me. Their faces slacked, their eyes looked in the thousand-yard stairs. When they met me at the bottom of the beaches, we were red as the slabs of meat Sweat poured off all of us. I showed her as a dark theory occurred to me Every time we tag Mo, we offer up a little bit of our souls. And he came to life.

Speaker 2:

Marlok, after centuries of so-called progress, breathed again. Why'd you stop, coach asked. Did I say you were done? Er, did Mo say you were done? No, sir, we did. I couldn't believe. The words falling out of my mouth were my own. We're overworked, overstressed and overheated. We need rest and water. We're finished. So are you? Silence, the clapping from Zach, then applause from the remaining poor bastards. You know what Coach grinned and the Erectus grinned. You know what Coach Green and Elricters Green? You're a daughter after all, martinez, as the rest of you, minus Mr Cunningham, you're lucky. We have to have a track team at Montrose High. I disqualify all of you for not following instructions, but unfortunately most of you made it. Cheers, rupter.

Speaker 2:

We soon found out our fate. Zach and I both entered JV spots. I did some digging on the internet and found that Malik also spelled. Malik was one of the most evil gods that you could worship in the Old Testament. As I suspected, he demanded human sacrifice, especially children and babies. I had to wonder did teenagers count too? They must have, for in this day and age, the juggernaut of montrose high school athletics makes cattle out of anyone who wants to make the team. You have to be a bull to succeed there. I may not have gone what I originally wanted, but you know what it's tourist season and I have all I need the end this.

Speaker 1:

Shit was gay, so that shit don't sound like a creepy pasta, bro.

Speaker 2:

I didn't but I thought that shit was a pose. I mean, I get it, okay, they're offering their soul, in a sense, every time they slap it, but I thought that thing was going to turn alive and start killing everybody. That's what. I thought it was going to be I didn't know where it was going, bro, but that motherfucker started describing the movie that he saw who wrote this. Hold on, bro, hold on, let me You're going to call him out. I'm about to call him out bro.

Speaker 1:

That shit got me sleepy bro, written by Tenet.

Speaker 2:

Don't ever write shit again in your life. My boy Bro, I don't know where the fuck, bro, I thought that was going.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know where it was going to go bro Bro, I thought that thing was going to kill him or something bro. Bro, I thought it was about to go crazy or something bro.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

The Moon-Eyed People sounds pretty cool.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but yeah pretty much, we're just going to cover the. What is it? The Beast of Eldenboro.

Speaker 2:

Of Blandenboro.

Speaker 1:

Oh, blandenboro. Oh, I never heard of this place. I mean place or thing or anything. Uh-huh. I've never heard of it. Never heard of it. But, like we said, we're taking it back to North Carolina. We're about to see what we have. Y'all let us know if y'all have heard anything like this before.

Speaker 2:

Right, right, right, if you have any stories Go ahead?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, let them know what the Beast of Bladenboro is All right.

Speaker 2:

all right, quick breakdown. The Beast of Bladenboro refers to a series of mysterious animal attacks and killings that occurred in and around the small town of Bladenboro, north Carolina, in 1953 to 1954. The attacks were initially attributed to a large cat-like creature, leading to the creatures being nicknamed the Beasts of Vandenborough. The identity of the beasts remained a mystery, with many theories proposed but never confirmed, so some of the victims were primarily dogs and livestock were targeted, with some reports of attacks on humans. Witnesses described the beasts as a large cat-like creature, sometimes with features reminiscent of a bear or wolf. It is said to be a bushy with a long tail and a large head. The text was described as brutal, with animals often found decapitated or with crushed skulls. Some reports also suggested that the animals were drained of blood. Despite a large search effort, the identity of the beast was never confirmed, leaving the van straddled in mystery. The Beast of Vandenberg has become a local legend and a chilling reminder of the unexplained events that gripped the community. Some of the possible theories of it was that it was wildcats, and some theories suggest that the beast was a large wildcat species such as a mountain lion or a panther. Other theories propose that the beast was a hybrid creature, possibly a cross between a wolf, bear and cat. Another explanation was that attacks were sometimes compared to those attributed to the chupacabra, another crypt associated with draining blood from animals. We covered this class. Some have suggested that the events were a case of mass sale, with exaggerated reports and signings contributing to the legend, and there's an Elizabeth Town White Lake area hosting an annual Blandenboro Beast Fest celebrating the legend.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, that's the overview for it. So Blandenboro is a small community surrounded by palm forests and swarms, by the southern eastern edge of north carolina piedmont. It was also the setting for the greatest monster flap north carolina has ever seen. The story begins in blanden county, in the town of clark. On December 29, 1953, a local woman heard her neighbor's dogs barking and whimpering. When she went out to investigate she saw a large cat-like creature sculpt into the darkness. That was the first sighting of the Beast of the Blandinboro. Two days later the creature would strike. So basically, just from this point on, I all, uh, I have just reports and uh, just just everything that everybody will see.

Speaker 1:

Let me give you a little bit of a description, cause you kind of covered what it looks like, but I'll give you a little bit more details of what people have claimed to have seen how it looks like. So some witnesses described the creature as about four to five feet long. Again, it's like Panther like-like, with the sleek black coat, pointed ears, sharp claws and glowing red or green eyes, strong enough to drag large dogs under fences or over barriers, made horrible screeching or screaming noises. So sometimes it's compared to like a giant cat, bear, wolf or some shit like that. Like you said, um, it's common for people to think that it might be a cougar, panther, bobcat, whatever. Like you said, some people do believe that it might be like just some random cryptid that has, like that's like a supernatural predator or something okay and then obviously there's people that say it's just mass hysteria.

Speaker 1:

that's all the fun facts I have about it. Yeah, all the facts that I have. I mean, it's pretty much straightforward.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, straightforward, you attack yeah.

Speaker 1:

But everything else is just like reports.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But before we get into the reports you remember that episode I told you about the person that I know who had that one instance with all the sheep, with the goats yeah, the goats so if y'all haven't heard that episode, go back to the halloween episode very, very good story. I love that story right we told about some personal accounts definitely one of the top 10 stories that people had but this is from somebody. I can't remember if he wanted me to say his name or not, but this is somebody I know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think you say he didn't want to uh, yeah this is somebody that I know that has claimed that they had a, an account, an account with something like this, but this is recent, so this isn't like black in a day, like from all the accounts that people have about that, but it was, uh, his dad woke him up, or his dad told him to like, come with him, because they were going to go look at something and he didn't know what it was it was at his neighbor's house, wasn't it?

Speaker 1:

yeah, it was at his neighbor's house or somebody that lives right down the road close not too far away from where they live, like around a stop sign or some shit like around the sign or one of the blog types yeah, just around around the neighborhood. So they went and as soon as they got there there was like a bunch of like goats or sheep or whatever like with their freaking throat slit and like blood everywhere and stuff like that, but they're all laid out like in a circle or something like that.

Speaker 2:

Oh, they were laid out in a circle well, they were all laid out close, like close proximity.

Speaker 1:

But then, when he went, they didn't see no drag marks. They didn't see yeah, no tracks, no, nothing. And, like I said, the guy I know he's really pretty, he hunts all the time, so he knows he how, like how to track things and you know what's what's common for him to see in his area? He's, he's hunted down coyotes, uh deer. You know um groundhogs or or the um he knows, he knows what he's talking about.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he knows what he's talking about pretty much like he's he's. He's not new to being around animals yeah, yeah, you're not the outdoors and all that yeah yeah.

Speaker 1:

So he didn't see none of that stuff and he just saw like sheep or goats with their throats lit, and he said that when he looked up there was like one goat standing on top of a dog shed or something like that. He was just standing there just looking at them or some shit like that, and uh, I don't know, it was just pretty cool. It was pretty cool and pretty weird because it reminded me here, like the claims that people said like what they say, right, the blood was sucked out of him or something like that.

Speaker 1:

It was like gruesome or something. It just reminded me of the story.

Speaker 2:

He had it's, it's. It's funny you say that because, uh, on research, this I was going to tell Sammy about like literally the same story. Oh, for real. Yeah, I was going to tell him, like you don't remember that story that we because I don't think he's heard that episode- no. So I was going to tell him about it, but I got distracted. That's why I got distracted with the animal that I saw. Oh, okay.

Speaker 2:

But it's funny you say that I literally I was going to tell my brother, I was going to tell him the exact same story. But yeah, it kind of reminds me of that. The other creepy thing is just one sheep or one goat was just alive right there. Just standing, Just standing bro.

Speaker 1:

Watching the rest of them. I would have killed them Just all dead. I would have shot it too. But nah, that's the one that did it. You're not making it through. Damn no witnesses, right? Boom, everybody gotta go. No, but that's, it's just crazy, bro. But here in north carolina it is very rare. But I think they said at one point we did have like mountain lions or like bobcats or some shit like that.

Speaker 2:

I didn't know they were that big yeah, they're there, but I didn't know they were that big either. But then I saw, I saw a video with a massive. Yeah, they're massive. Massive bro. I Massive bro. I used to think they were like tiny little things bro.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I thought they were like the size of a medium-sized dog or some shit, bro, or like I thought they were like Roxy's size. Yeah yeah, yeah, Like that's what I thought they were.

Speaker 2:

bro, I was wrong. No, especially mountain lions. Mountain lions are huge.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know they got that big Bro them things are huge.

Speaker 2:

Big-ass paws.

Speaker 1:

Uh-huh, big body, big stealthy, body, bro, oh yeah that's the other thing.

Speaker 2:

They're stealthy. Yeah, that's the other thing they're stealthy bro.

Speaker 1:

Stealthy. Hell, no, hell, no, anything that's stealthy, I can't do. I can't because you can't hear. I'll see that gorilla from a mile away. I ain't gonna see no damn tiger behind that brush.

Speaker 2:

I'm gonna tell you that and that's how they hunt too.

Speaker 1:

But they, uh, what is? Going on what's worse, you being able to at least brace for impact from a like? I'm not, obviously not just a gorilla, but would you rather be able to brace for impact or like be hit full full force without you noticing? That's just like somebody tackling you from behind.

Speaker 2:

See, that's my, my, my sense is always gone, bro. I know I know full fat, my built in backup camera, my built in backup camera. But I, I, I can detect it, dodge it camera. But I can detect it, dodge it and already have it in a headlock before we know who's going to hit it?

Speaker 1:

Who got that rear view butt plug camera? I see everything from behind Bluetooth capabilities.

Speaker 2:

Bluetooth device is not connected. Yeah, my fault.

Speaker 1:

Hit it with that 10% battery, hit it with that JBL. Or when it's reconnected yeah, my fault. Battery. Hit it with that 10% battery. Hit it with that JBL. Joo, joo, joo, joo, disconnect. Or when it's reconnected Dun, dun Right. But it's just crazy, bro, because, like I said, that was common.

Speaker 2:

Was he in North Carolina too? Was that in North Carolina too? There you go.

Speaker 1:

It's not even too far away from us, bro, oh for real, we're like 20 minutes, 25 minutes away.

Speaker 2:

Oh damn.

Speaker 1:

So it was pretty.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that is creepy, though. That one Right, but this is a couple years ago. This is a couple years ago it was probably like in high school.

Speaker 1:

So this is maybe 20 2008, maybe. Type shit oh damn 2006, something like that. Damn it's been a minute, bro, some shit like that. Damn it's been a minute, bro, something shit like that. But what you got?

Speaker 2:

Let's hear the reports that other people have claimed to have had here in North Carolina with this beast of Bladenboro. On New Year's Eve, bladenboro Police Chief Roy Force was called out to the farm of Woody Storm. Two of Storm's dogs had been killed by something large and powerful. The poor dog's bodies had been killed by something large and powerful. The poor dog's bodies had been completely drained of blood. More reports started coming in. Dg Pate said he watched from his service station as the dog was attacked by a large creature and dragged into the woods. Chief Forrest was inundated with reports of dogs being attacked from across the county. People said they saw an animal like a bear or panther that was three feet long, 20 inches high, with a long tail and a cat's face. Others reported hearing the creature scream coming from the swamps near the town, saying it sounded like a woman with a knife stuck in her back. That one lines up with a bobcat. That's what that made me think of. January 1st the bodies of two more dogs were discovered. These two had been drained of blood. Chief Forrest decided it was the time to call for help. A team of professional hunters was brought in from Wilmington to track down the animals. Chief Forrest accompanied the tracking party and said he saw footprints the size of silver dollars.

Speaker 2:

On January 5, the beast of Blenderboro attacked a human. That evening Ms CE Kinslaw heard the sound of a whimpering dog outside her house. She went outside to investigate. She saw a large cat-like creature rush towards her. Ms Kinslaw screamed and her husband rushed outside. The beast was fighting off and fled back into the woods. Did you have any or did you want any?

Speaker 1:

You pretty much took all of them except one that I had. This was Johnny Voss, 1953. So Voss, a local resident, reported that his two dogs were found dead, with their skulls crushed and completely drained of blood. The dogs were large and aggressive, yet something had killed them silently overnight. Voss was convinced it wasn't a normal animal. That's all I got, okay, okay.

Speaker 2:

I got some more Go ahead, you got it uh newspapers picked up the story and soon vandenborough was overwhelmed with the flurry of punches coming in and the uh eager to bag the beast. Over 600 men from as far as tennessee descended on the town. A fully armed pack of fraternity fraternity brothers from unc chapel hill made its way down to down to the town to see about putting the beast's head on their wall. Uh, nobody knew exactly what they were hunting. Speculation began running rampant. Some thought it was a Carolina panther, a species of large cat that had lived in the area until the early 20th century but was now thought to be extinct. Others said that they were dealing with the coyote or stray dog. Most of those had descendants on Bannon County. Though that the only way, thought that the only way to find out for sure what the beast was would be by killing it.

Speaker 2:

The town was terrified. F Butler, who was a young man in Blandinboro at the time, recalled nighttime was feared. Time around these parts as the sunset, the entire community. Time around these parts as the sunset. The entire community on the west side of the town went indoors and didn't come out unless necessary. Some other people started saying that it was scaring people so much that they weren't even going outside to use the bathroom.

Speaker 1:

Damn.

Speaker 2:

They just had basically piss or just jars just laying around this piss or like just jars yes, just just around. This is the end of it Decided that things were getting too dangerous. Vanderbilt Mayor Bob Fussell and Chief Forrest called an end to the hunt on January 13th, taking in a huge, large bobcat that had been trapped by a local farmer. Two men hung it up on the flagpole in the center of town. They posted a sign underneath stating this this is the Beast of Bladenboro. After a week or so things settled back to normal. The hunches left town. The reports of killings stopped coming in. So that's the end of it.

Speaker 1:

My fault, y'all. I was yawning. What'd you think about it, bro? Let's hear your review about the Beast of.

Speaker 2:

Bladenboro, just by the reports of Okay, so it was scared off. It was scared off. That's that gives me. Let's me know that it's a natural predator, like being scared off. The screams bobcat. And at the end they did find a bobcat, a large bobcat, and they hung it up and after that the attacks, the attacks, ended. It could have been that. The only thing that's that's weird for me Is the fact that it was a drain of blood, skulls crushed and they kept attacking dogs. I don't know why, like we're in North Carolina, there's there's plenty of other animals to uh to attack. Uh, especially like small towns and stuff like that almost always have cattle. So I don't know why. I would prefer dogs over cattle, um, but in a sense, I mean, if it keeps attacking the dogs, it's probably just Looking for meat, and obviously dogs Don't have a lot of meat On them. Well, I don't know, I haven't. I haven't ate dog. I haven't ate dog Before, not to my knowledge.

Speaker 2:

I haven't gone to China yet, but I look, you want to say it was a. It was a bobcat Dang. A large bobcat, yes, but A large bobcat, yes, but A bobcat.

Speaker 1:

Nonetheless.

Speaker 2:

Nonetheless, there you go.

Speaker 1:

So what do you rate it then? Out of scale one to ten? What do you think?

Speaker 2:

Oh, one to ten. I mean, it's just a bobcat. In my opinion, in my humble opinion, it's just a bobcat. What would you rate a bobcat? I mean Maybe a five.

Speaker 1:

It's just attacking dogs. Yeah, I mean Maybe a five is just attacking dogs. Yeah, I mean I give it a seven only because of stealth. The stealth is what gets me.

Speaker 2:

Right Every time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the stealth the stealth always gets me being that massive stealthy.

Speaker 2:

But For me it's just weird. Fucking six. I'll give it a six. There you go, Okay.

Speaker 1:

Only because it's not knocking people's heads off, ripping their intestines out Exactly. It's not doing all that gruesome stuff. I mean, it is doing stuff to people's dogs and you know that is pretty bad, but not as bad as you know something that's killing, like pregnant women, exactly, and other things Exactly, yeah, or like dead asses waiting for them to leave town, like domain town to kill them.

Speaker 2:

But what they? They didn't say how big the dogs were. So for all we know they could've just mentioned Wabas that they was killing this whole time, where it was like little Pomeranians left outside. So I mean I don't know.

Speaker 1:

but so you said solid, six, yeah, solid say five, really, just okay, just so. What's the meaning of that six? Fuck it, I'm gonna give it a six, like I'm gonna stand on that six, bro, only because of it being a bobcat. You know that is a pretty badass animal, but in terms of it being beside bigfoot and then, and then they can't.

Speaker 2:

I mean stuff, you know right. And if it was that bobcat, they did kill the bobcat at the end.

Speaker 1:

So it died, it died, it did. Is it really that strong if it died right?

Speaker 2:

right, right, because if it was Bobcat, they did kill the bobcat. At the end it died. It died, it did. Is it really that strong if it died? Right, right, right, because if it was really that strong, it would have ate that bullet and spit it out, spit it out, but y'all let us know what y'all think.

Speaker 1:

Y'all let us know if y'all heard any interesting stories about the Beast of Bladenboro. Let us know if you have any stories yourself or if you have any things that we might have missed about the Beast, like where it was popular at, or just something in general. You know, because people always have fun facts that you never knew about, right that you never yeah, yeah, About certain things.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, and yeah, that, pretty much it. Y'all, let us know what y'all think. Like I said, I gave it a six, I said seven, but I'm gonna give it a solid six. Yeah, you gave it a, give it a five, five. So you know, y'all, y'all, y'all, let us know what y'all think.

Speaker 2:

Like I said, but uh, that's pretty much it right, yeah, yeah, that's it for that one. Yeah, that was pretty simple, it's pretty straightforward.

Speaker 1:

That's not really too too much about it. But yeah, y'all, let us know, is it fact or fiction. But we're going to head off into the next subject and we're back. That was a quick 30-minute break, y'all. It was a quick break, you know. We had to go wait for the battery to come back again, so it was just a quick break. Quick 30 minutes. No, my fault, y'all.

If y'all know Spanish, it's even better in Spanish. But bro, they just, they just yapping bro, they just like to yap, bro, check this out, bro, this is. This is like that was the general consensus. Now, this is. While the style and technical ability of Lance's the Lost Empire is clear, the bland storytelling and the overused emotional beats cause the film to ultimately become forgettable. I still remember the movie Bland Till this day. Bland, bro, bland, nah, y'all bugging Bland storytelling.

Speaker 2:

Oh, the only reason why people complain about this, oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Why do they complain? Oh, yeah, yeah, which I kind of get, but it's I don't fucking know, bro, it's more like them parent issues. It's an R-rated movie, right? What do y'all expect?

Speaker 2:

Don't let y'all kids see it. It's an R-rated movie. Nah, they lost it right there when you said parents, nah, it was awesome right there when you said parents, nah, all right.

Speaker 1:

So criticisms at release. This is at release Excessive violence and vulgarity. Critics were shocked by the gore and language. That's why they didn't like it.

Speaker 2:

Well, this was released in the 70s, 1983.

Speaker 1:

1983. You over here mad about excessive violence and vulgarity. Weren't there riots that y'all were like having going on at the time? Wasn't there a bunch of like mass shootings and shit, war, war what else something. Something was going on. Something was going on at that time. Hold, let me look it up. Let me look it up real quick what major events happened in 1983? What major world events happened in 1983?

Speaker 2:

in America. The confirmation of HIV as the cause of AIDS. Fuck, there really was nothing. Oh Cold War tensions.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was about to say Cold War tensions, and you worried about Scarface? Come on man.

Speaker 2:

Y'all worried about the wrong thing, man, it's a fail.

Speaker 1:

Y'all had a suicide bomber that destroyed the US Embassy in Lebanon, resulting in numerous casualties.

Speaker 2:

Y'all worried about Scarface Instead to the numerous casualties. Y'all worried about Scarface Instead of sending your prayer and thoughts to those people. Y'all here worried about Scarface.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Complaining about Scarface.

Speaker 1:

Get your priorities and your fucking life together. You worthless piece of shit. I say it with my chest. Y'all want to talk about some stupid, goofy shit. Put your energy towards something useful.

Speaker 2:

But that little kid Jesus Christ Fucking scum.

Speaker 1:

I'm keeping this shit in. I'm saying with my chest, I'm standing on 10. What the fuck y'all going to do to me? Al Pacino's accent. Some called it unconvincing or cartoonish.

Speaker 2:

Unconvincing. I didn't think it was that, bro. I feel like the best gift for K KMP. When you know what I'm talking about, i'ma start walking To this bitch. I'ma start pacing, bro.

Speaker 1:

Moral outrage, which this is the one I understand, but it's just a movie.

Speaker 2:

One it's just a movie. Two it is rated R.

Speaker 1:

They said this one was the glamorization of crime. It didn't sit well with the critics in the 80s.

Speaker 2:

Bro, bunch of bitches. But there was already movies about that like that, like right, that was happening, regardless where the movie came shoulder to shoulder, it was right, it happens they're having sex and everything, fucking 40Ks, causing HIV and everything to go around. Like I said, y'all worried about a little blood, y'all worried about a little film. Come on now.

Speaker 1:

That shit, just bro, I tell you, bro, I tell you. But what fans saw was a good movie about a rise and fall of a, of a like it's a gangster film.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know the rise and fall of somebody. You know, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

People like to see that, especially if it's like based on not this one, but like if it was based on a true story like you see the man struggle. He hits the top, boom. He hits the bottom and then had me rooting really gonna die.

Speaker 2:

That's how you make films. You have your audience engaged with the right, except for these dumb motherfuckers that just focus on the wrong thing right, they they talking about that.

Speaker 1:

But they'll be okay with, like, western movies and shit like that, right, but it's the same thing. But you got the cowboy shooting up the dudes, the bad guys shooting up dudes fucking sheep bro.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you, bro, y'all could come for me, I don't care. All right, so why it became a cult hit? So it had good underground appeal. It was actually bootlegged and passed around heavily in urban communities, particularly in the 90s. So a bunch of people were bootlegged or whatever. I can see that. Hey man, I got Scarface man, give me five real quick About Scarface. Man, give me five real quick about the time.

Speaker 1:

I got that bootleg Wolverine bro huh that one still saw the green screen and everything the alpha version right it was adopted by hip hop culture, rappers and artists related to Tony Montana Tony Montana's that's it rise from nothing, he became a metaphor for hustling real shit, real shit.

Speaker 2:

You really gotta watch this every once in a while. Just lock in again.

Speaker 1:

Iconic visuals and quotes the mansion shootout, the suits Say hello to my little friend. All legendary Time vindicated it as society grew more open to brutal anti-hero narratives.

Speaker 1:

Scarface aged into a classic classic which is true yeah, I mean it was just a story about, I guess, the bad guy, if you want to say that, but I mean it was just a kid. It was just a kid trying to make it out with a man that found his way to the top. Now, not by good means, I'm not glamorizing none of this, but man's gotta do what a man's gotta do the world it's just. I want the world and everything in it.

Speaker 2:

Come on, bro, like still get quoted to this day, till this day it was just I bro again. I love the movie. I love that movie. I've seen that movie a whole lot of times, I don't even know how many. But again, people looking too much into it like focusing. They just want to complain, bro. They just want to complain bro. That's it. They just really see that movie once. Nah, this ain't a good movie. Not even giving it a second chance, bro. No-transcript.

Speaker 1:

Like I get not all movies are going to be meant for. Like it's an R-rated movie, I guess, right? It's an R-rated movie, so like why would your kids be watching it? First of all, like that.

Speaker 2:

yeah, the one with the parents complaining why are you letting your kids watch it? Yeah, so it's just like, but at the same time, that's life for an adult audience. So you really worry about all that.

Speaker 1:

You're not the person to be watching it, really Right, I don't know. But we go to the next one, bro, because we can go on to this one.

Speaker 2:

I already got my fuse going, bro, all right, but I don't know if you've seen this one, but man on Fire, uh-uh, it's a denzel washington movie. Uh, it's, uh, he, basically this little girl gets kidnapped and by cartel and there's a washington. All right, now, see, I'm gonna spoil it, but y'all for y'all, but y'all should have been seen this really. Uh, yeah it came out 2024. It came out last week but basically this is watching the ghost whole crusade to save this little girl. Oh okay, but people rated this movie a 39%.

Speaker 1:

Damn why.

Speaker 2:

All right, there's a consensus man on Fire's solid action and top shelf cast are undone by a relentless grim story that gets harder to take the longer it goes on. It's just not. It's literally just non-action through the whole, through the whole thing. I mean it's gory, it's bloody, but uh, I really don't know why people don't, but it's look my fault. No, go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 1:

They'll say it's gory, gory, it's too gory. Give it a what 39? 39. But you give John Wick like a 90.

Speaker 2:

Bro, let me check John Wick's score real quick. I feel like they're probably complaining about John Wick too, but let me read you one of these in the meantime 86. 86 John Wick 86%.

Speaker 1:

No, which was the original one? The first one? Oh no, let no. Which one? The original one, the first one? Oh no, let's see Number one 94. No, chapter four is a 94. Chapter three 89. Chapter two 89. John Wick, the first one, 86.

Speaker 2:

But you going Okay, kind of Kind of yeah.

Speaker 1:

I don't understand. Yo I really don't. It's a good movie, don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing it, or anything.

Speaker 2:

John Wick is a good movie, like it's not. I love that movie because it's non-stop action. It's uh, it gets emotional because you see this man like going, because he's got his own stuff that he's going through and he still goes and saves the little girl and everything like it. Emotional, emotional, bro. My mama cried on that movie. That's how good it is, bro.

Speaker 1:

At the end, bro, trust me, trust me bro damn, trust me, bro, but they gave it a 39 39% bro what do people say about it?

Speaker 2:

alright, here's one bro at almost two and a half hours. The film really needs more meat on his bones, motherfuckers. After two more meat on his bones, motherfucker, what the Titanic Motherfucker this can't be no fucking Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 1:

He want the.

Speaker 2:

Titanic bro he trying to win. He trying to watch a marathon, he trying to watch four movies in one sitting. Bro, come on now.

Speaker 1:

Sorry, this can't be Avatar.

Speaker 2:

Right, oh, my God Bro be real, bro.

Speaker 1:

Bro, it is good, but I mean that's a good complaint to have it's such a good movie. I wish I had more, pretty much.

Speaker 2:

I guess. I hope that's how they meant it. I hope that's how they meant it. I hope so. This is a merely average film that had much more potential.

Speaker 2:

Alright bro, I'm not even going to acknowledge that one. Bro Scott Slade's exercise in Assault of Exorcist Excesses nevertheless lingers for two and a half hours Like a drunken house guest who won't leave. I don't know what they talking about, bro, cause At no point do you want this movie. You want the movie, you want him? Alright, I'm gonna spoil the shot, spoil the film, don't hit him, man Spoil the film. Alright, in the end he dies, but he still saves. He still saves the little girl.

Speaker 2:

He dies, bro. He dies saving the little girl, bro. But, bro, one dude will get the whole cartel, bro, whole cartel. Managed to track down the people they kidnapped. Managed to get to their family, managed to, bro. It was corrupt police involved. Sorry, I was crying, bro. He got through everything, all this while still being shot because he doesn't have like plot armor. He gets shot and at the end he's like bleeding out and he finally traces his life for the little girl. But they don't know that he's already dying because he was already bleeding out from all the other gunshots that he had. And then they take him and he dies in the car.

Speaker 2:

Damn they were going to torture him in one night. Damn, they're going to get.

Speaker 1:

Bro, damn, they were gonna torture him in one night, damn they're gonna get. Bro, what bro? These people? That is good. That is such a good story right there. What are y'all talking about? Talking about something? It's like a drunk name drunk person that won't leave your house. Bro, shut up bro he's a drunk person. That you know what I wouldn't want to get drunk in your house. I wouldn't want to sleep there all right for real, but listen, lame ass.

Speaker 2:

For real, bro. All right, this is the final one, a film that ends up being tedious due to its excessive duration, annoying by its formal lack of control.

Speaker 1:

I don't even know what they talking about bro. Lack of control. What control do you want?

Speaker 2:

Bro, what control you want. When the girl got kidnapped? She gonna go south bro, what control do you want? She gonna go south bro, what control do you want.

Speaker 1:

Right, what do you want? Like, what do you? That's what I would like. I would like for all these people that have these stupid remarks, stupid claims, to come out and tell me how they should write it themselves, how they would have. How to correctly write the movie. Please, please, write in these comments, cause they know, cause somehow they know, cause the moment you write, i'ma just comment wrong. Delete your comment. I have that power. What you gonna do to me?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

It's too predictable right, your comment was so predictable, come on delete.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, bro, 39, bro, that's it, that's it.

Speaker 1:

Hurt my shit, hurt my soul when I seen that 39 about it nah, but they bugging bro like, what would you say to all the people that said $30?

Speaker 2:

They suck a dick, bro, because they fucking wrong as hell. Bro. They did not see the same movie I seen, bro. The movie I saw was epic. It was heartwarming when he showed the bomb up a dude's ass it really touched me in a way, it was a carb cup, bro. He didn't want to give the little girl up. Bro, you had to do that type of stuff.

Speaker 1:

See something good like that, and then people still have the audacity to say boring Bro, come on, bro, bro, I'm telling you, bro, alright, this one could be a bit controversial, I guess Not controversial in a bad way, but but never mind, let me give you this one, step Brothers.

Speaker 2:

Step Brothers. Uh huh, what they, what they got for Step Brothers.

Speaker 1:

Hold on. I forgot to write the scores for these things down. Step Brothers Sixty nine percent. Score Sixty nine. Right, sixty nine. Well, no yeah, tomato meter. Was it fifty four? Or sixty nine? Which one? Oh, fifty four, fifty, well, no yeah, Tomato meter, was it 54? Or 69?. Which one is it? Oh, 54. 54. This is from the regular people right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's the yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.

Speaker 1:

So 54. 54 score, they said. The only reason why they said that is because they said it was juvenile and crude. Critics called the humor immature and lazy Bro.

Speaker 2:

My bad. Comedians my bad, my bad. Uh people, they just be funny motherfuckers out here, bro right, and they mature and lazy image. The movie's called stepbrothers right you have.

Speaker 1:

You have these grown men that never left their parents. How do you think they're gonna act? Aren't they playing character's role if they're immature?

Speaker 2:

Bro, that is a dumb. They did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Speaker 1:

I tell you Thin plot, thin plot.

Speaker 2:

Thin plot.

Speaker 1:

Some thought it was just an excuse for skits and improv. What kind of plot do you expect to have on a huge like?

Speaker 2:

a. So actors can't just improvise on the spot now. Right, okay, like that, don't make the best scenes ever, like? All right, bro, come on man too loud and over the top.

Speaker 1:

The characters were seen as obnoxious rather than funny so.

Speaker 2:

So two characters that were supposed supposed to get on everybody's nerves were too're two obnoxious and over the top, and over the top, whole movie, whole movie is. That's the premise of the whole movie.

Speaker 1:

Right, it's like watching two brothers that don't With two stepbrothers that don't get along.

Speaker 2:

Grown. What do you expect? Grown, by the way, grown. That's the whole premise. They did exactly what I expected them to do.

Speaker 1:

This is why I can't stand critics, bro. I cannot stand them. You want to be so critique about this type of stuff?

Speaker 2:

I don't even think they'll watch the movie bro.

Speaker 1:

Right and then have some whack ass. Top 10 movies. Top 5 movies. This is the best movie man. Watch this, watch this one, bro. Whack, bro, get out of my face.

Speaker 2:

Talk about Shindler's List Top, top movie. Come on now.

Speaker 1:

But I don't know, bro, that shit made my eyeball twitch. What fans saw was Will Ferrell and John C Reilly's chemistry. They had such good chemistry in that movie.

Speaker 2:

They really do.

Speaker 1:

They really do, bro Kind of like in the Ricky Bobby movie, because they were both in that movie, kind of like in the Ricky Bobby movie.

Speaker 2:

They were both in that movie.

Speaker 1:

They had good chemistry.

Speaker 2:

They played well off each other.

Speaker 1:

They had endlessly quotable scenes. Absurd escalation made it legendary. Kind of like when he's like, I'm going to put my balls on your drum set, Bro. That's like the.

Speaker 2:

That was freaking hilarious. Going to put my balls on your drum set. Don't you dare put your balls on my drum set, Bro. That was hilarious. That was freaking hilarious.

Speaker 1:

Y'all gave it such a bad score. Even the freaking normal people that make profiles gave it a 69. Come on, I thought it was at least a 75 for me.

Speaker 2:

Bro, for me at least an 80, bro.

Speaker 1:

I was laughing, I was entertained.

Speaker 2:

That's really what I want from a movie. Keep me, keep me entertained. If it's a comedy or like a funny movie, make me laugh and like it does that like right like I don't know what the fuck like.

Speaker 1:

What are they looking?

Speaker 2:

for bro, like they talking about. Oh, this should have been like john wick, what are y'all looking for?

Speaker 1:

it was hilarious, what are y'all saying? Like the fact that he was burying him under like brother, shit to this day.

Speaker 2:

The sea that still gets me is where, uh, the the bum beds fall on each other, bro yeah, yeah, we could stay up all night and do cool shit or something like that.

Speaker 1:

Do cool stuff or some bullcrap like that oh my god or whenever he's like singing his opera music and then he's on the drum set. He's like boats and hoes.

Speaker 2:

Bro, why Bro I watched?

Speaker 1:

that movie. Right.

Speaker 2:

I watched that movie when I was older. I hadn't seen it till then. Bro, Bro, I was laughing the whole time watching the movie, bro.

Speaker 1:

I thought it was fucking funny too, bro. I don't know, people are just People, what?

Speaker 2:

do y'all what? What do you want?

Speaker 1:

These professional credits Right.

Speaker 2:

What do you want?

Speaker 1:

All right bro, we're already 30 minutes in. We got one more One more it's going to be a super long episode.

Speaker 2:

It's like three hours Almost. Go ahead, go ahead, take out the story I ain't like. Oh, this was my final one. Oh, ok, I got to let you pick bro oh, okay, I got two. Uh, I'll let you pick, bro, police academy or ridiculous six dang.

Speaker 1:

Both of those are good bro, you'd be surprised. Bro, all right, police academy police academy, all right I love police academy.

Speaker 2:

I love that movie, bro, but get ready for this rating 39. Police academy is rude, crude and proudly soft for more. Don't even know what that word means. So so, like you're doing so much already, police Academy is rude, crude and proudly sophomore. Don't even know what that word means. So, like you're doing so much already, I have to rip On Police Academy, using big words on Police Academy, which is either a commendation or a ringer endorsement, depending on your taste in comedy. It's a collection of easy laughs, no brain required. It's a comedy, bro. What do you want? What do you want? What do you want? I'm hopefully trying to figure out the joke three days later, bro, just working.

Speaker 2:

Oh that's bro, come on. Now comes, without any doubt, the absolute pits of this genre, the least funny movie that could possibly have been inspired by an airplane or any other movie. To compare this to Airplane is crazy. They compare. You've seen the movie right. Airplane with Snoop Dogg, soul Plane. No, that's Soul Plane. Hold on, where's Airplane then?

Speaker 1:

I think I know which one you're talking about.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, with that other dude. I haven't seen that one, Sorry my fault I haven't seen that one either, but I hate when they compare it to other movies, bro. All right, this is the final one. The hit and mostly men's humor proves so cringeworthy. However, your real amazement will be reserved for the fact that they sprang six sequels and three different TV series out of this. So they see all the success coming out of it and they're saying they're surprised by it. The numbers are there, buddy, the numbers don't lie.

Speaker 1:

They made six for a reason Right, if people want it, there's a reason why people wanted it. Nobody would be in the movies if it wasn't good they say something like that. I bet this dude's a fan of all the Fast and Furious movies.

Speaker 2:

Especially the 10th one.

Speaker 1:

I can't wait for a new Fast and Furious to come out. I cannot wait. I bet you can't goofy ass. I bet he got a Fast and.

Speaker 2:

Furious sticker on his car.

Speaker 1:

All right, I was going to say Napoleon Dynamite was my last one, but it got a 72 score which. I wish it would have been higher, at least like an 80.

Speaker 2:

I was about to say an 80, yeah, but I'll take a 72, so I'm not going to dog you on that one, but I love Napoleon Dynamite.

Speaker 1:

That's like one of my favorite movies right there. White Chicks we talked about it a little bit.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, what they hit there bro 15.

Speaker 1:

15.

Speaker 2:

15% on white chicks. I know Criminal Bombastic side-eye Bro 15.

Speaker 1:

15. 15. So the criticism about the movie was they said it was unfunny and offensive.

Speaker 2:

Unfunny and.

Speaker 1:

All right, all right. Many reviews said it relied on stereotypes and bad jokes.

Speaker 2:

But I'm telling you, bro, these people do not watch these movies bro.

Speaker 1:

I cannot imagine what kind of comedians y'all watch, Bro. People do not watch these movies bro I cannot imagine what kind of comedians y'all watch. What comedian doesn't rely on using some type of stereotype, whether it's against their own race, or I mean not to be harsh, but on a different race.

Speaker 2:

But that shit be funny as hell though.

Speaker 1:

That's Pete Comedian right there. Y'all too soft, too soft, brother.

Speaker 2:

Too soft, too soft brother, y'all ain't working 48 hours a day, brother.

Speaker 1:

Not like dogging on them in a bad way, but like, just like little funny jams. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, yeah, Because comedy that's the main thing with comedy you can't take it too serious and there's this I get.

Speaker 1:

There's boundaries and everything. You ain't got to go deep on them, but like just throw a little jab but you can't like comedy and then be offended by stuff like this.

Speaker 2:

Like what?

Speaker 1:

kind of comedy do you do? For example, like I heard a joke somebody said to me they were like oh yeah, we went to go eat Mexican food. And it was a white person that told me the joke. And they were like you know, we went to go eat Mexican food.

Speaker 3:

I mean sorry, food for you, but Mexican food and I was like you know, that was a good joke, that was a good little joke, it wasn't oh no, I'm going to raise hell because of this joke.

Speaker 2:

What you mean by that, bro?

Speaker 1:

Like I thought it was a good little joke.

Speaker 2:

It's not the best joke, but it was a good but.

Speaker 1:

I got a little chuckle out of it. I mean, y'all just too uptight about it Sensitive, bro, just sensitive bro, but they said bad makeup and effects.

Speaker 2:

Bad makeup, the disguise prosthetics were mocked.

Speaker 1:

The whole purpose Bad makeup. Can you believe this, bro?

Speaker 2:

I just don't like the way the Wayne brothers had their makeup done. Hey, they a bland shit. No shit, potato chip. Hey, I tell you, bro, they did not watch the movie. Bro, they did not watch the movie. Oh my God, bro, I tell you, oh my God bro, they did not watch the movie.

Speaker 1:

Oh, my god, bro, I tell you.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my god bro.

Speaker 1:

Too over the top. Critics didn't go for the outrageous humor. What fans saw was endless quotes, outrageous scenes and a so bad it's good appeal. That became iconic, especially in meme culture.

Speaker 2:

When they hit that. It's so bad, it's iconic. I hate that. I hate it too.

Speaker 1:

I hate when they hit that. It's so bad, it's iconic. I hate that, I hate it too.

Speaker 2:

I hate that, bro. Oh my God, lazy review, lazy review, bruh.

Speaker 1:

So the reason why it became a cult hit was because of its outrageous premise Two black men disguised as rich white women. So wild that it became unforgettable shock factor. People couldn't believe how far it went with race and gender jokes. It pushed boundaries at the right time. Mass appeal it hit multiple audiences urban, mainstream and meme loving teens, quotability and memes. Your mama, so old, her breast milk is powered powdered. Lines like that never left pop culture. So see, that was a good little joke like that.

Speaker 2:

Like see what I'm saying. It ain't Madca's, it's funny, bro. It ain't Madca's, it's funny, I just don't understand. Oh my God, bro. Or like when.

Speaker 1:

Terry Crews was singing. Was it A Thousand Miles?

Speaker 2:

I think that do-do-do-do-do-do-do this called that shit was hilarious.

Speaker 1:

I would have never, bro, would have never right buff ass.

Speaker 2:

Terry cruz was singing that song, bro, and y'all couldn't laugh from it for real.

Speaker 1:

Y'all just stone face the whole movie oh bro, y'all no fun, y'all no fun and parties y'all, y'all jordan, y'all jordan, be around bro I'm glad I'm not around no people like this. This should let me baffle.

Speaker 2:

I can't understand these critics, Damn bro, and they among us, they among us reverence, just living.

Speaker 1:
