It was my mind right now. When an intro when when the
stars align like that, you gottacome back.
Yeah, for one more. One more job.
One. Last job we came back.
Something happened. Something happened to the day.
It's a little, here's a little bone mall for you.

(02:07):
Okay, I was at Walgreens gettinga covid booster and I happened
to overhear two too young. Clark's there.
I can talk. Oh, you gotta see it, such a
good movie, you got to see it and I was like, sorry, I'm
sorry. Like when we were gues talking
about they're like oh he's neverseen real real thick rim and I

(02:28):
was like okay cool cool. All right, why you AR I walked
away and I came back a little later to check out.
I heard same team to people likeall it's so funny.
I was like, oh what what movie Pacific Rim to?
She goes anger, Management and Ihad to go okay, to go.
I'm sorry. How old are you?

(02:49):
Because I'm 33 and those movies came out when I like I was a kid
and she's like, oh, I'm 22. But I just graduated as a Film
Studies major. So Pacific Rim came out, like
recently. It's like 2012 at latest.
Yeah, that's a 22. Well, she was 12 when I came
out, anger management. She was like well I murdered her
mom's eyes. Yeah, he's in any way that

(03:12):
excuse Doesn't tell me why you watch Pacific Rim and anger
management that has nothing to do a film studies as.
Alright that's it. Now that's true.
I have heard Pacific Rim is good.
I'm not sure that's fine. Anger management is so such a
strange poll. I just wouldn't neither those
movies. I expected anyone to mention no
22 year old should mention either of those movies while

(03:32):
they're walking working their shift at Walgreens or CVS or
whatever. Anger management is the one with
who's the guy that sits of like Lakers Courtside?
Is it Al Pacino. The other guy Robert De Niro
know the Pervert from no I know who you're talking about Jack
Nicholson. Yes the Courtside seat man.

(03:55):
Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler.Yeah.
So funny dude you gotta say you know you know what though here's
the one thing that I will say and maybe why they were talking
about it in a film studies classthat kind of movie doesn't come
out in the theater anymore. That's for damn sure.
Just fine comedy you know no way.

(04:17):
So you think like like week one was like they were discussing
like Road analyze this week to analyze that Shorty.

(04:37):
I don't know. I don't know.
As Jack Nicholson in Pacific Rim.
Is he one of the Charlie day is in Pacific Rim?
What? Yes.
Sincerely. Yeah.
Is he, he's one of the robots. Okay, I don't know, but I am
pretty sure he's in it. So you're saying Charlie Day
fights Jack Nicholson. Well, he's Charlie day is in a
Jack. Nicholson of Gundam.

(05:00):
Looking for. Thank you is Gundam a brand name
like Xerox, ya know, or is is because like is it the robot
Kaiju? Yeah, I don't know.
That's a good question. Hmm.
We'll never know. Yeah.
And we won't ever come back to finance.
Don't tell us. I don't care.
Shall I? Well, I guess it's also
important to mention that we areimmediately from this going to a

(05:23):
Halloween party and we are in our costumes, just fine.
What does I am a toy? Tourist and like a 90s style
tourist, right? And I'm a scale model of the
Empire State Building HO scale and this is on H.
Oh, I'm a slutty Empire State Building now, I'm just a lineman

(05:49):
I got to watch out for the bucket, but he's gotta watch out
for the bucket one because they're going to steal me away
from my wife. I were on the Cryptids.
That's what with a z Phi dot fandom.com.
This isn't like a band. We'll see.
I'm gonna get into random. I'm gonna get a random Cryptid
article. Good Oh fuck yes Yama Biko.

(06:17):
Biko is a legendary Yokai from Japan.
Okay cool. It is said to create Echoes when
someone sounds towards the slopes of mountains and valleys
the phenomenon of when it comes back echoing with a delay is
also called Yama Biko. When it is thought to be the
answering voice of a Yama Biko or a phenomenon that am abiko
caused. So is that?
So it's not your voice coming back.
It's a demon to demon saying Hello into Tory, tottori

(06:41):
prefecture, a yo, Buco or yobu, kaduri that lives in the
mountains is thought to give outthe Yum Yama biko's voice in
kusarigama of Hoshi. Hoshi commie Village hot to
District Kochi prefecture now tsukumo.
Okay, regardless of, whether it was day or night when a sudden

(07:04):
Dreadful voice is her deep. In the mountains, the strange
phenomenon is called Yama hiko. They are sometimes seem to Be
the same as Yama. Waro told about Western Japan as
well as the Yamato in Walk-Ons. This is also like that's like
Japan has like mascots for like every little story.

(07:25):
Yes and everything that must be a simple Yokai.
Well this is also like the skunkape of North Central.
Florida is similar to the yeti of like this, which is similar
to the Of the Pacific Northwest like though, right?
Yes, exactly. I don't care, blah, blah blah.

(07:56):
I think it's from Japan or you like you sit around in a room
and there's a certain number of candles, let's say it's a
thousand. Maybe ten you go around in a
circle until like short little ghost stories and everything
until one you extinguish account, until then ciao.
The earlier left in the dark, its various, that's very funny.
That's cool. There's also, you know, for a
while I was big into the like, like there's like no sleep, the

(08:21):
reddits, the subreddit, no sleep, and they're a bunch of
similar ones that I can't remember.
But it's like all of these. Like, you know, people just make
up these like rituals and there's like the Three Kings or
whatever you heard of that one. It's like you set up three
chairs that are like, kind of ina triangle facing each other.
Two of them have me. Hers.
And then you sit in one. And you argue no looking into

(08:44):
the fucking mirror Dimension. And are you looking into one
mirror that's angle. So you can look at the other
mirror for and then you like seeyourself back in it.
It's yes, that's good. I like that.
And you're supposed to and the description is like, you know,
to each of the chairs. You like you're the king but
each mirror thinks it's the kingand it's like spooky.

(09:06):
Yeah, then there's also, like I mean, but I mean, Bloody Mary's
a classic. Yeah.
That was a classic right? Weep in the morning.
Get one of those and do the kingritual are the dog.
We in like second or third grade.
We had our classroom most classrooms in our school.

(09:28):
There was like four classrooms connected by like the teachers
pod where the it was like basically.
Okay the hall you could walk outside to like the sidewalk.
Sure. And like walk around to other
classrooms. Or there was like a back door
that led to like this. Sort of break room for teachers
and like, four classrooms would be connected to this break room

(09:51):
but then each one could also like go outside.
You know. Yeah, sure.
And most classes, the bathrooms were also like through that
break room area, but I had one class room that had like its own
bathroom in it. So like but it also had no
windows or it was like you couldgo in and turn the lights off.

(10:12):
It would be perfectly Dar, sure but it was also like In the
classroom. So for that there was like, for
a while. We were like you to go in there
and like, do Bloody Mary. So people would like, go into
the bathroom, turn the lights off, it was like second graders
and and then then you just see akid like really hurriedly like
walk out of the bathroom when I was that age, we had a blue

(10:38):
baby. What's this?
Is the same thing. The same concept I could, I
don't know what it was but yeah you look in the mirror and I
don't know. There is a phenomenon that is
real. That like when focusing on her
if you if you look at your face too long especially in low
light, it just looks fucked up and you especially like you

(10:58):
could, especially if you put like a candle if you lose like
Candlelight because it like, flickers and stuff.
It like, actually just makes your face look fucked up.
That's a good, that's a good wayto make yourself feel better
about actually seeing a demon real demon.
Okay. Okay.
Okay exactly. I will one more thing that I
will say about this Yokai is It looks and I'll show you after I
tell you this but it looks like a rabbit going.

(11:19):
Then I knew man let's see. Yeah, he's like holding his
hands out its like the Ain't IA stinker.
I don't know that Yokai are necessarily malicious because
there is that there's like there's a game that's

(11:40):
essentially Pokémon called Yokai.
Watch where you catch Yokai, right?
So I feel like you're if they'relike evil demons, you're
probably not going to want to befriend them, I guess, I wonder
if there's a spectrum. Oh, surely not, I guess, right,
or or or Monza Japan and bike? No, you're not playing that
game. I don't know what none of those
who do. The good Yokai.
Okay you're right right right? Huh satanic panic and Japan.

(12:06):
Probably I'm sure I'm sure every.
Well I mean probably not specifically version.
Yeah. Shinto version or whatever.
Exactly. That's have fun to think about,
like, What are the other? Yeah, like that happened in
other parts of the world, huh? Or are happening or yeah.
But and not the not the the sad like satanic and comedians till

(12:31):
story. Yeah, there was Panic basically
forget his name but he's like some comedian usually kind of
guy that would like you, but Howdo the people who make Teflon?
Get it to stick two pans. Like, you would tell jokes like
that. Yeah.
How come you drive on the parkway only in America?

(12:53):
Can you do me a favor and move my camera off of the heater?
Uh-huh, I love that band. Yeah.
So he would like to start his side off like telling jokes like
that but then the rest of it he would talk about how when he was
younger, he was in a satanic cult and yeah you made
sacrifices and yeah you would you know, shoot all kinds of
drugs and Well, I didn't kill the babies bottles part of the

(13:15):
Covenant did so I can tell you got to trust me here, I'll tell
you who started the satanic Panic, Gary gygax, it's not a
panic. If it's real that Sucks.
Yeah, but his jokes were really really funny though.
Do you think do you think Jeff Dunham is Conservative or do you

(13:41):
think he just sort of knows who watches him?
You know what I mean? Yeah I mean whether or not he
started out. I'm sure he is now.
Sure. Be careful who you pretend to
be, you know. Yeah.
Pretend to be that guy for that for this long and not he really
thinks he's a dead terrorist now.
Yeah. Exactly.

(14:03):
Staring out into the Dead Terrorist ties or he become.
Huh, looks like candy or something.
You're probably Right, I bet. Do you think Larry the Cable Guy
really fixes people's cable now?I think so, yeah, probably it's
been so long now. Yeah.
I think. How are those guys doing?
Do you think the blue collar, guys?

(14:24):
I still, I'm sure the honestly I'm sure they're doing great.
None of them died from a heart attack or clogged arteries.
No, I'm sure not because they'rerich as fuck, so they can afford
to have a guy that like pumps out the G white boys.
Yeah, that's probably true. That Titian have a guy that
gives them better. Yeah.
Yeah. For sure.
That's easier. Hmm.

(14:44):
We gotta get rich and get our blood boys.
Have you ever read Dracula? No, have you seen them?
The movie with Dracula dead and Loving It with Leslie Nielsen.
Yeah, of course. What's the, what's the the drag
of the Bram Stoker's Dracula? The isn't it called?
Isn't there a movie called Bram Stoker's Dracula?

(15:05):
Yes, thank you. You seen that one?
No, it's pretty wild, man. Who said, I think it's like
Martin Scorsese. It's someone like Martin
Scorsese that directs. It's like that sounds right?
Someone like that. It's a really bunkers movie that
I think is actually really. I'm like, finding out Out.
It's similar to the actual book.That's cool.
Yeah but it's like all these characters are out of control

(15:26):
like what were you writing? I think the guy that kills
Dracula is like a cowboy from America because what of course
knife or something, I never I there's no reason I haven't and
I probably should because I loveall that spooky stuff.
Yeah isn't it in a book? Yeah, it's really precious.
It's very strange. You've already read Frankenstein
dead and Loving It. Yeah, something else.

(15:47):
No Young Frankenstein. No, I haven't.
It's so Yeah, truly truly so good.
Doesn't like the doctor and the creation like like have an
extended like chat with each other or something.
Yeah like the monster is not dumb.
No the whole movie are the wholebook is like is it completely
different on the movie? Because in the movie they get a
tax they mean to get a good brain but they said the other

(16:10):
day Breanna but it's very, it's very different.
Okay. I mean a lot of the stuff that
happens is similar but in the book Frankenstein is the
monster. Yes.
Well he's The modern Prometheus.Yeah, duh in the in the book,
it's like everything works. And then the doctors like, oh,

(16:30):
you're fucking gross and Frankenstein's like or if the
monsters like come on man. So he and basically the whole
book is about how the monster can't fit in anywhere because
he's a fucking ugly monster, andit's just him like trying to,
like, get finds a bagger, I mean, basically, yeah, he's
like, trying to find a place. It's It's like super sad and

(16:53):
super cool and not what you would expect and then I mean,
the movie is fucking awesome. Yeah, I've heard that and then
the Bride of Frankenstein. I've heard it's like even you
told me it's even better. It's insane.
It's so good. Yeah it makes me wonder because
you know, I've started watching Doctor Who recently the the

(17:13):
reboot or whatever. I don't you like it's about to
come to Disney plus 2. I think which is I think you're
right. It's always be all right now but
I think you're right. Moving forward, it's going to be
all there. So you know about Sonic
screwdrivers and day licks and Cyberman sighs that's
dragonballs. Oh sorry.
Yeah, you're right. The reason I bring that up is

(17:34):
made me think so. There is something like 70 or a
fair amount of episodes that oldones that were like taped over
phone away or whatever. So sad and there were movies,
that happened to two because Celluloid is extremely
flammable. So there's tons of people who
are like huge mega movie stars in like 1920, but you and I

(17:56):
don't know who they are because our entire body weird.
So, it makes me wonder how many You know, all-time great movies,
like Frankenstein or Bride of Frankenstein.
How many do we just lose? Well, isn't like we should be
talking about right now, but never heard of them.
Aren't there like 40 versions ofmetropolis because they keep
like finding like look like literal like frames of the movie

(18:17):
and they're like oh fuck. This was one of those movies out
there was like 11 or there's a whole real they're missing
entire real. So for for like 70 years they
just there was like a specific cut that did.
It was missing 40 minutes and they said they save a copy of
the Real in like a museum in Argentina.
So now, the full moon has been restored but it's in Spanish.

(18:39):
It's yeah. Just that chunk though.
It's very yeah, it's hard. Yeah, that's so wild.
I love that. But they're doing that with
Doctor Who it's like, every oncein a while they'll want it.
What movie, or what? There's a country in Africa.
I think it's Nigeria, may be that when they were airing

(19:01):
Doctor Who they, They had accenttapes or whatever.
So they the point was that a lotof the restored.
Shit, they found was from Nigeria specific weird, because
they just got, they just had to tape something or something.
We should hold on to these something like that.
Yeah, really. So it's just like, in something,
like, whoever was like, the executive of, like, Nigeria, the

(19:21):
BBC Nigeria. Yeah.
Was like weird. These are neat.
Yeah. Like, I like this, and some of
the ones that are missing, were like foul people who had like,
Happen to tape them or not tape.That was like because the way
used TVs to work was, you would to broadcast like the West Coast
or you don't talk about like youwould have literally, like film,

(19:41):
the TV, playing the show. So those recording some of them
have been cached just saying, you know who said that's fucking
stupid and we're not going to dothat.
Yeah, it was your ball. Yeah.
Gru enjoying Doctor Who I'm a real, a real fun time because
it's not, I don't know if it changed.
Like, I don't know as a child. I'm on the second doctor so I

(20:04):
don't know how it changes over time but it's pretty.
It's like a fun little goofy time and there's some like
actual emotional stake sometimeswhich really surprised me.
Interesting. Yeah.
Is it that's fun? I enjoy it.
It's very like B-movie. Okay.
It's like B+ movie. Got okay.
Because we episodes where it's like, oh, this is silly.
But then there will be some where it's like, whoa, holy
shit. Like what the fuck?

(20:25):
There's one that like, almost like brought me to tears.
It was like, he like, went back in time and talk to us, he
doesn't matter. But I was like, what the fuck?
Why did dr. Who's almost Make me cry.
That's fucked up dude, that's fun.
That is fun. So now I kind of want to go back
and watch the old shed just be like, whoa, this is not
watchable. Now this is an important

(20:46):
question. He does travel in a police box.
He does his Doctor Who a cop. So the reason it's a pleaser, I
don't know if this is even I can't tell what's Cannon
forever. He does it so he can blend in.
I do know that the thing Actually he brought it up
recently. Someone was like, why is it?
What the fuck is that? He's like, oh, it's a police box

(21:07):
and like, yeah, but why? He's like, oh, well, it has
built-in camouflage. So, wherever I am, it looks
like, and they're like, yeah. But it's like 2012.
He's like, oh, yeah, it. When I came to Earth, it did it,
and then it broke. So it's just been stuck, like a
police box for the last 40 years.
What's it called? What the thing that's hardest.
That's it. Time and Relative Dimension in
Space. Yeah, I got like a Whovian who

(21:32):
Who Framed Roger Rabbit over here.

we've had rather. Yeah.
Like just keep it coming more. Michael Keaton hasn't eaten.
Have you watched any fun spooky stuff?
Prepare for the season? No, I haven't.
But I will say, I've been watching about one episode or
two episodes of Doctor Who a day, and they tend to be scary.

(22:14):
Ish. Okay?
Like, there's an episode where they were during the day that
the queen Queen Elizabeth, the second was gonna get
coordinated. When everyone's going to watch
on TV there was like some creature that sucked your face
off of you through the television screen.
And so there was just like theseweird faceless people People, it

(22:36):

Yeah, it was great. It was cool.
Okay. Yeah.
