Speaker 1 (00:01):
When it comes to mythical creatures Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman,
or my favorite, the indomitable quirkle Bottom.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
But why am I not scared of it?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
He is the mischievous minutar who visits me in bed
every night, half man all Bottom, You're really not scared
of it? I'm not complaining, But do you guys believe
in those types of creatures? It's Brook and Jeffrey in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I mean, we actually went to Lockness and my daughter
was certain that she saw the monster.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Oh really, then you're going to be very interested in
this story because there has been another new sighting of
the Lockness Dude.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Do you guys know that there's a guy that's living
at that lake and has been there for like forty
years and that's his whole goal.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Hold on a second, because this time it wasn't in
the Scottish Highlands. Where was it? It was spotted on
a Texas highway.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
What fake isn't connected anything.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The bizarre siding took place following the Category five hurricane Barrel,
so afterwards odd things were showing up on the roadways,
so maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Got like sucked up in a cyclone and brought over
into Texas and.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'll just show my co host the picture that was
captured of it. It was posted online and it got
hundreds of thousands of likes and comments. Is it looks
like but at first glance? Come on, looks like.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You're rights first glance.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I really think, one person said, best photo evidence I've
ever seen another room. I think that's Nessi's baby.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So, while it's made its rounds on social media, if
you turn the picture sideways you'll see it's just a
leather gaming chair.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, it's a chair.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It got tossed out on the side of road and wait, land,
it look like monster.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Black and white picture told.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And look, this doesn't mean that the lock Nest Monster
doesn't exist. It's just not on the side of a
Texas highway. So the search continues. Okay, and now we
need to get to the shock collar question of the
day with another mythical legend who no one can confirm
if he really exists, Digital Jake.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Wow, it's time to get out your tiniest blocks of
cheese and set them in a trap because today is
National rat Catcher's Day.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
As the music, of.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Course, it honors the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamblin,
who led all the rats out of the city using
his next level flute skills. Wow, it's not a euphemism,
by the way, But the thing is not all rats
are bad.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Brooks family enjoys them slow roasted in air fry with
rosemary and garlic.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
So good.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
But some of our favorite rodents of all time come
from TV and movies. That's why, in honor of National
Rat Catcher's Day, we're doing a special Squirm and Vermin
edition of.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Twenty of twenty.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I have a list of twenty most famous fictional rodents.
These are characters who have left the lasting impression in
the world of entertainment. You just have to name them
to stay in the game. We'll start with the woman
who's a sucker for a man rocking a rat tail.
That's Alexis Alexa's top twenty fictional rats.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
One of my favorite movies Rataituey.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That's not the name of the rat, remy Ratituhey. It's
number four on my list. You need character names. If
you're saying characters.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
From brook Well, I mean obviously Mickey Mouse. Yeah, that's
where we're gonna start.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's number one, wrote on my horse.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I was scared of this person when I was a
kid because I thought they were evil, but they're really good.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
He trained the teenage mutant inta Turtles Shobby Splinter Winter
is number six on my list. Ninja Turtles, Jeffrey, it's
your turn.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Well, my parents didn't really let me watch a lot
of cartoons and stuff growing up, except for Arthur and
the child adaptation of the novel War in Peace.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
There's a kid.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
There's a cartoon version of the French Invasion of Russia
very Palace. One time I slept over at a friend's
house and we watched a couple of lab rats try
to take over the world. Think Their names were Pinky
in the Brain.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And the Brain, number twelve on my list. I'm taking
both Pinky and the Brain off the list. Okay, back
to Alexis.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm gonna go Stewart Little Stuart Little number three from
Stuart Little.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I thought you guys would get this.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Minie Mouse, we're counting spouses in this.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Minnie is her own individual woman. Dare you just classify
her Mickey's If anything, Mickey is Minnie's husband.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Mickey Mouse was number one. The spouse mouse Mini, it's
number sixteen.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Belong.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Let's say it's your dude.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Give me my boy Jerry from Tom and Jerry.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's number two on my list. The entire top four
is now off the board number six, so number five,
seven through eleven are still there.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Drunk, get back to my childhood show Arthur. Now he
is obviously an ardvark, but his third grade teacher is
actually a British rodent named Nigel rat Burn. So I'm
going with Nigel rat Burn.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do you really remember, wow, Nigel Ratburn. I'm sorry, Jeffrey's out.
Let's go back to the lexus.
Speaker 2 (06:13):

when Ballet going to go.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
The rat King, The rat King number fourteen, Real quickle,
what did you play in the nut Ground?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I didn't. I got pulled in a wagon.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I got in trouble for wavings. I was going to say,
because you're dancing skills, I don't know what you would
have been.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
They didn't even let her feet touch the floor.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I should have guessed bad wagon. Ere it's your.
Speaker 2 (06:37):

but I don't know any of the character names. So
I'm going to go Actually, Gus from Cinderella.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Gus Gus number nine on my list. Jose it's your turn.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Give me three blind mice.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
The three blind mice not on my list, probably because
they're real. Let's say they were real. That's where they
were in the list. Josea's out. We're down to Alexis
and Brook. The next wrong answer loses. Kim Possible has
a side of the character I need a name if
you want to issues. I don't know his name.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Let's say it's Benson the Naked the.
