Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hey, they're spooky friends, and welcome to the seven year
anniversary episode of the scaryt Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'm not the seven Woo's. That was my intention, but
it kind of got away from me there at the end.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I'm Robin Grace's Adam, and we've been around for a while.
If you're new here, welcome, You're going to hear lots
of questions being answered today. If you haven't listened to
any of the other episodes.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Maybe you should listen to say this is a weird
one to start, but hey, if you start on this episode,
we're going to be answering questions that we have gotten
from our wonderful listeners over the last seven or so years,
just regarding whatever they wanted to come up with. I've
gone through all the questions already. There's nothing here that
I found to be inappropriate. A little bit disappointed on
that one, but yeah, I'm just kidding. Please don't send
us in appropriate questions. But the year anniversary episodes just

(01:02):
time for us to kind of kick back, talk about
what we're like hoping to do in the future, and
just sort of answer questions and they usually prompt pretty
good conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
This is just like an episode, will you guys get
to know us a little bit better?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, so feel free to send your questions. Doesn't mean
we're not gonna answer them. We're gonna doesn't mean we're
gonna have to wait until the eighth anniversary episode. Sometimes
we'll hit like a nice round number and we'll do
an anniversary like if we do like three fifty or
four hundred or who knows, who knows whatever comes first.
But we're we're pretty direct. I think we talked about
stuff before we get into any of that though. Robin's

(01:36):
been about two weeks since, uh, we've been on the air.
How are you doing? Good?

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
How's your Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Uneventful?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
We did nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
What did you do? Oh? Yeah, I spent it with you.
Huh yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
We had lamb chops for lunch.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It was great. We had pork chops.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Pork chops. Sorry, we don't know how to make we
can't afford lamp It was pork chops. I don't know
how to cook lamp chops anyway, I.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Know how to cook pork chops, so they're.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Like baby like baby, that's what LA was. Yeah, sad,
I'd be able to cook it any.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, I think I'm pretty sure I told this story.
But when we were up in the Scotland Highlands, Oh yeah,
the count Robin saw the Highland cows and thought they
were super cute on the train up there, and then
we went to a steakhouse and she realized while we
were at the steakhouse, like, guess where they get the
steaks from? And she was horrified, but she still ordered
a big steak and ate it. But yeah, we basically

(02:25):
took off Thanksgiving weekend. The beginning of the month is
also quite busy for me because I work at a
place essentially where like seventy percent of the work needs
to be done in the first five days, so this
is smack dab at the end of that. On the
fourth is when we're recording this. So but yeah, it's
the anniversary episode. We didn't want to miss this anniversary week.
We our first week ever was the first week of

(02:46):
December and twenty seventeen, so it is seven years. We've
been doing this whole thing for seven full years. After
this episode, we will be building on our eighth year,
which is kind of crazy to think about. Yeah, so
it's uh, it's been on, but we couldn't do it
without the help and the support the listenership that we have.
You folks have been amazing. You've adopted us very quickly.

(03:08):
Might I ad we started doing.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
The show, Yeah, I was. I was shocked the first
the first time we had somebody Sam send us, you
know Isle of Man, Yeah, send us an email or
topic suggestion. We were just like someone out there listen
to what we said.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Craziness.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
But yeah, it's been seven years.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
You know, Sam from Isle of Man met her husband
through the show's fan base. Ye, so now she's Sam
with a mountain of a man. Andrew shout out, what up? Yeah,
I was just so crazy when we got our first
couple of emails. We're like, these are real people like
these you know?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
And and we've changed a lot since the show has started.
I think our listenership has gone through a lot, a
lot of life changes. Everybody's gone through seven years of I.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Remember we got a couple of emails back when we
had first started, and it's like, Hi, I'm so and
So I'm thirteen, and we're like, ooh, how do we
handle this? Like twenty now, they're fucking twenty. Now, we
wouldn't have to worry about it at all. Yeah, so
they've been listening since the beginning. Like they went from
being oh, I just turned to a teenager to.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Like, I'm an adult.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I had to drink legally next year. Depending on where
they live, they might have already been drinking legally. But uh, yeah,
you guys are the best. You really are. We want
to thank you. Want to give shout out to the
beginning of the month to uh our patrons that are
at the shout out tier above Karl olov Ethan Dulce,
Shandon and Fay.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
You guys are great.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
You guys are great. Thank you so much. It really
does help us move forward. The end of the year
is essentially when all of the hosting fees and stuff
come doing them always just like oof, well thank god.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
And you know what, Thank you to everybody who supports
us on Patreon because I'm way behind. We are moving
in a week and so We've been going through a
lot packing up our house and I'm way behind. We've
been doing a lot of life things. I've been doing
my motors for it.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Being motorsport engineer job.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, we have full time jobs.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Also getting orders on your ats shop, which yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Thank you. Thank you to everyone who's been ordering all
THETSI shop. You guys are amazing. It's with Black Friday
and stuff woo. We've been able to pay for our
car insurance.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
But it has been quite a busy time. The holidays
seem to get busier and busier every year. But that said,
you know, it's made so much easier by the folks
to help us out over there on Patreon and honestly,
just everyone that listens, you folks are amazing.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Thank you guys so much.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, and also thank you for the questions. We asked
for questions over there on our discord server and we
did get quite a few. So I think how we're
just gonna handle this is how about we go like
person to person and then because most folks submitted multiple questions,
and then like one person can read the questions submitted
by one person, and then we'll go to the next
person and swap who's asking the question, and then we'll

(05:43):
just both answer it and then we're just gonna see
where it goes. We're not gonna chain our muse this episode,
Like if it's been us off into a crazy tangent,
we're's gonna let it happen. So and I think you folks,
after seven years, understand that shit happens with us a lot,
so strap in. So the first round of questions, I
guess comes from over there on Discord. These are all
going to come from Discord, So I won't say that
moving forward. But Crow asks, I feel like this might

(06:06):
be a bit of an abstract question, but do you
feel like this podcast has changed how you interact with
and digest the macabre? Like has research made topics want sensitive,
more approachable or vice versa over the years?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
You know, when it comes to topics, I think after
going through so many and doing the research and things
like that, I think when it comes to true crime, though,
we're a little bit more desensitized to it because we
read about it so much and we research into it.
I try to go about it now compared to when
we first did it, more sensitive, like more gentle with topics.

(06:47):
I try to not be so gruesome when describing crime scenes.
I try to avoid being overly triggering, if that makes
anything you.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Definitely, since the show has started, anytime there's anything involving
kids or children, will leave out most of the details,
if not like all the details.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, you just don't put that stuff in and we
don't have kids. I just, oh, my gosh, we're old.
But I just feel like there are certain things that
don't need to be graphically detailed, and.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
There's a limit to the morbid curiosity of the true
crime genre, like appeals to and I just think that
that's I don't know who would complain, you know, I think,
tell me more about these horrible atrocities committed against children.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
I have been become more of like their people. I
try to humanize topics more, and it's not just like
a topic I'm covering, Like these are people. Things happened
to people, and I just try to be sensitive to that.
I mean when it comes to haunting things and scary topics, locations,

(08:03):
that kind of stuff. I am. The more we've done it,
the more I think I've started to lean into Adam's side,
because you know me, I'm like the person who's like
it could happen, this could be true, whatever. But the
more topics we do and the more things kind of
repeat themselves or or people start sounding like it's just

(08:24):
making stuff up, I start leaning towards your eddor to
come to the skeptics. Yeah, and so it's just the
more we read about and research, and the more we
grow as people, I think the way we cover topics
has changed.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, it's hard to remain skeptical after you've seen the
Lizard mand of South Carolina. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
I don't know. I feel like I've been talking this
whole time. I don't know about it.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
You get it. I'm glad. I feel like I talk
too much all the time, so and I like to listen.
As for me, I feel like when we started the show,
I really wanted to cover more supernatural paranormal stuff like that.
I have the morbid interest in true crime. I think
like most folks do. That said, I have a habit

(09:10):
of like diving really deep into research you do. So
when I started to do the true crime topics, I
was like, Okay, I need to look up like the
death certificate, the Corners Report. I want to see everything.
I want to make sure I'm like finding out as
much as I possibly can. And like the story of
Alisa Lamb was like particularly troublesome for me because she

(09:33):
was mentally ill. I have a brother who's mentally ill,
and there's a lot of details in there that's just
not been included in like the story, you know, just
to sensationalize it a little bit more. Yeah, And I
think that the way I approached it, like you were mentioning,
like you know, she was a person that this happened to,
she had family that's still out there that this happened to.

(09:54):
Digging into it made me very sad, and I really
wanted to make my script respect of the fact that
like this, to me was a case of a very
tragic thing that happened with very bizarre circumstances that the
Internet just decided to turn into this mystery, yeah, where

(10:14):
folks continue to ignore obvious and factual details to try
and fit it into.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
They want to make it fantastic there.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, their their web mystery. And they literally destroyed a
guy's life to the point where he tried to kill himself.
And it was Yeah, and it was kind of disgusting, honestly,
Like I was very very taken aback when I was
going through it at how easily I was able to
find a lot of this stuff and how much people
would have had to ignore to propagate just a ton
of fucking bullshit to make it more sensational. It's kind

(10:42):
of why I despise Zach Baggins and I've talked about
not liking Ghost Adventures because it's like every episode they
find a ghost and it talks about how cool Zach's
tattoos are. What the fuck ever? Because to me, it's like,
if you can't approach things with integrity and with a
commitment to finding out what actually happened, then one you're
wasting everyone's time, and two you're a fucking fraud. And

(11:04):
that's how I sincerely feel. So the more we've done this,
the more I've I've become very skeptical of even handling
certain topics because I'll look at them and be like,
this is bullshit. Like I'll include like three or four
topics into like one episode sometimes just to be like,
these ones are things that just a slight amount of
digging has revealed to be, you know, an Onion article

(11:24):
that people didn't realize was on an article and sort
of like screenshotting stuff and quoting it as fact. So
I think I'm a little bit more skeptical than I
was before. But it's kind of also opened up the
door to take on some more of those true crime
topics so I can like learn more about how to
debunk stuff. Yeah, so I think things that I looked
at before as taboo because they could be potentially sad,

(11:46):
at this point are of more interest to me because
I can find out what really happens. So nice, Yeah,
good question. Uh, all right, moving on tech this next one.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
All right, So dough Papa says, how do you guys
feel about being about it being the seven year anniversary
of the podcast? Did you guys think you're going to
make it this far when first started it?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Absolutely not when we because this is our second venture,
our second podcast venture. Our first one was video games.
We used to be are okay. Adam's first venture into
podcasting was video games.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
That one went about a year and a half, I think.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Six, and that one, I think trying to get into
the video game industry podcast you know world is very
difficult because there's a million in one of them. I
mean there's a million and one true crime, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Scary space is cluttered as no.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
But but I think when it comes to talking about
what we talk about, everybody interprets things a different way.
Everybody tells stories a different way, and I enjoy the
way we tell stories. I think we have good chemistry.
When it comes to to you know, it's funny because
when we have you know, therapy sessions or whatever, they

(13:00):
always say listening to us is like listening to a
podcast and and and it's true because how we talk
to each other on the podcast and.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
We get a road trip with people in the car
and we're just bulshitting with each other, and someone's like,
it's like I'm in an episode of the show. And
it's just like, we legitimately are just who we We're
not characters, you know what I mean. Like you watch
someone on Twitch or like on YouTube, and they like
have a caricature version of themselves, and we meet them
in person, they might be different. Like this is legitimately

(13:29):
just how we are with a microphone front.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
When we meet I hate saying fans because they're not fans.
They're like friends we just haven't met yet. But whenever
we meet you guys out in the world, I.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Can't wait every time, Like I can't wait. That look
a disappointment.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, we always can.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
You realize I'm lame.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
We always have to warn people that we're boring. And
when I meet people, when I first meet people, I
feel like I interrogate them and Robin asks a lot
of questions, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Both have defense mechanisms against silence. Robin asks you any
questions about yourself because she starts to interview people.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
So I start interviewing and I start to give.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
You random lines like my tangents about like oh, they
ask a single question about a single thing, and I'm like,
and this was what happened in seventeen seventy six, Like
I go down major rabbit hole, like five years.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah it, you know, and we have lived long lives.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I would like my life to go for a lot.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah. Yeah. But like I feel like we kind of
act like we're not in the generation of just chilling
and doing whatever. I feel like I get really awkward
and have to say something, you know, I have to
have that conversation, that back and forth. Like I can't
just sit there with when I first meet someone and

(14:50):
just sit there and be on my phone and be chill,
you know.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I feel like she saves that stuff for me.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
I'm like, well, I've known you for over a decade,
but yeah, when I first meet someone, I just feel
bad sitting there and you you know, not saying anything.
I'm like, I need to get to know you, like,
maybe even if we never see each other again, I
want to know whatever I can get.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
You know, you're very personable. As far as how I
feel about it being the seventh year of the podcast,
I'm thrilled that we did make it this far. I
didn't really think. I don't think anyone really thinks when
they start a venture like this isn't gonna last.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
I just realized I went on a totally different tangent
I'm trying to bring trying to bring it back to
this is that welcome. This is what happens when we
don't have a script and we just talk go on.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
So as far as that did you guys think you're
gonna make it this far when you started, I just
wanted to cover like as many topics as we could.
That's that's what I really felt.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
We did too. We crushed a million and one topics
when we first started.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, I had certain ones that was like Lake Andngracuni
I knew I wanted to cover, and then a few
of the other ones that I cover, like the first
ten episodes, I was really excit I had to get
to those ones. And then I started to discover like, oh,
there's so much there's so much. This is a really
rich vein, and I couldn't wait to start like doing
more and more of it. I never at one point
thought like, oh, I wonder how long it's gonna last.

(16:12):
I was like, let's just keep doing it. Once people
started listening and the numbers and the listenership went up.
I really had a feeling for about like a year
to a year and a half where I was like,
if we push, we can probably turn this into a career.
And I was like applying to podcast networks. I got
a rejection letter from Maximum Fun, which is the place

(16:33):
that hosts all the macroy podcasts and some very like
heavy hitter podcasts. And I'm not saying that's a disparagem.
I'm saying like they reached out to say no. They
didn't just ignore our application. They said like they were
really impressed with our organic growth, and you know, we
didn't quite fit the niche of what they're looking for
as far as a new podcast, but if we had
anything new we were going to come up with to
reach out to them. I was just like, damn, people

(16:54):
are like saying no and nice ways to us now,
So I didn't I didn't know how we were going
to make it. But I really got the feeling, like,
as my boss puts it, with this new venture I'm
in currently, this thing had legs. I was like, this
could go and we really just wanted to invest ourselves
into it.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, and even though we're seven years in and we're
still the IDYBD podcast that we are, I think we've
met a lot of really cool people through it, like
people that we genuinely are like, oh yeah, my friend
so and so or you know, and it's it's an experience.
I think it's cool because it's like we just made
this little community that, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
I don't think we imagine we were going to make
it this far. I don't think if we would have
started after episode one, I would have looked around and say, like,
what do you think we're going to do for our
seventh year anniversary episode? We would have been like, I
don't know about that, but I am. I'm very happy
we didn't make it this far.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, I mean we experienced the burnout. You know, we've
slowed down a lot since when we first started.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
It's good too, I think, I mean, I don't think
it's great. It's the necessarily the greatest listening experience to
two topics to one. But I do think folks understand,
like one, this gives us a longer shelf life, so
we can stretch times out a bit further. We can
do a little bit deeper of research where we don't
feel like, you know, I'll get to page five of
research and I'm like I have to wrap this up.
And then sometimes I'm like you just keep going, like,

(18:10):
just keep going as far as I can go. So
that's a much better feeling now. But Okay, it's a
lot of verbiage for one question. Yeah, the next one
is from a mer It says, what was your favorite
slash best year of the podcast. There's a lot of
questions from a mere two, so we're going to stick
with him for a minute. So what do you think
is your favorite slash best year of the show?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Uh, you're one year one because that's where we kind
of just found. Yeah, and it was just such a
cool experience because you're in actually a few different podcasts
because you do Twats of Twats, which is the Wheel
of Time show, ut the.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Time Show, and uh still it's like my favorite.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Name and uh it's just so different, like the growth
and the community we've created with Scary Ish is so
different and so communicative, and you guys support each other
and it's really cool. Like I don't have we.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Got a lot of questions throughout this.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Day quick, but you know it's great. I think year
one for me.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Your one for me as well. Yeah, favorite. I don't
know if I have a favorite year of the podcast,
but I think the best year would probably be the
first year because we you know, let me switch that.
I don't think we have a best year of the show.
I think there's like no boundaries by like timeframe. I
think we've had like really good runs of episodes where
like they're well researched, they're really popular topics. My favorite year, though,

(19:42):
for sure, was the first year because like we had
all that excitement of we couldn't believe people were listening,
and yeah, that was just such an incredible feeling. For sure.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
It's a very unique feeling.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, next question, what do you guys think you'll do
once this spooky journey comes to an end? I e.
Start a new one or sign off entirely.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
We're trying. Okay, guys, we're trying. We have a movie podcast.
It's called Scene Missing it's been pending. I think there's
actually an episode.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Up, did you Yeah, there is an episode out. We
basically squatted it so that it's ever where. It's available everywhere,
but it only has the first episode, which is good.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Fellas, which I love. Goodfellas is great. Uh, a little graphic,
but you know, it's fun to watch. Anyway. We are trying.
We just haven't had the opportunity or haven't like sat
down and been like, we're gonna do these episodes.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
We're gonna touch them. Time for us is at a premium.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
If somebody wants to intern with us.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
She keeps saying that she's been saying that for seven years,
but then she doesn't know. She wants these folks to do.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Someone come in, someone come in and apply to be
an intern and work for free and do our social
media because I want so badly to grow our social media,
but I don't have the skills and I don't have
like the crew activity to come up with posts and
things like that.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
I came up with something that I wanted to run
and I asked Robin. I was like, Hey, I'm gonna
do this thing. I just need the assets. I just
need the pictures of the bear in the picture that
I still haven't done. That was two and a half
years ago.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
So it's just something that if we could get an
intern to come in and help us, that would be great.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't know if I'm not necessarily on the intern bandwaggon,
because I don't think we actually have the work for
them to do that we're thinking of. I would love
to hand off editing the show, but at the same time,
like I have a very specific way i'd like to
see the show edited, so I had to spend a
lot of time training a person to do that, and
on top of that, we record late and we post
the next day. Yeah, so it's not something that's really

(21:35):
conducive of having another person involved in the edit. But
going back to what I think we'll do once the
Spooky Journey comes to an end, I almost certainly will
just move on to a new show or focus my
efforts on a new creative endeavor unless things go crazy
with where I work. Right now, I'm starting to like
find a sweet spot in how much of my life

(21:59):
I need to commit to my current job, which is
a lot more than my previous jobs. Yeah, but it's
becoming a little bit easier to find some free time,
but I need to do certain other things in my life,
Like I'm working on a project that I've been working
on for quite some time right now that i'd really
like to finish up. And then there's other things that

(22:19):
I've thought of doing, like in this new place we're
moving to, we're gonna be a lot closer to like friends,
And I've been talking about hosting pod or not podcast
PowerPoint presentation nights scause I think they're the funniest thing,
Like I see them on YouTube, I see them on Instagram,
where you just like make a PowerPoint presentation and give
it to your friends about like the silliest fucking topic,
you know, Like I want to do a PowerPoint presentation

(22:40):
on is Goku a good dad or not? From Dragon
ball Z And I just think it'd be really funny
to do and people would laugh and it'd just be
like a fun night to do with friends. And I
was thinking about, like that's a really good concept for
like a YouTube show or whatever. So there's always ideas
in my mind, and sometimes they get off the ground,
and most of the times they don't. So I don't
think that if we were to end the show. Once
we got to a certain point that we would just
a we're done entirely in sign off. There would probably

(23:03):
be something else in our future. I know Robin was
thinking about doing a motorsports podcast, and yeah, you know,
there's always things that you want to do, but whether
or not you have the time for it, Yeah, it's challenge.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
It's very challenging. And you know I've been talking. I
do a lot of events. I go to a lot
of events. I do a lot of motorsports stuff, and
I just I wish I could sit down and do
a podcast about about how to even get into that
and do all that, because I think a lot of
people out there are interested and just don't know, and

(23:34):
I just don't have the time. I don't have the
time to sit down and do all that. Maybe one day,
but next question, I'll read that next question. Okay, So
favorite episode of the year or most difficult to record?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
It's both actually for me, really yeah, so favorite episode
of the year, So for me, I'm I am always
a fan of when we have special guests on this
year we were able to have Fae and Claudia, So
for me, it's a tie. I really like listening to
other people basically host the show and we get to
be the audience. It's really fun to do. And I
will say those are both the most difficult episodes to record.
Fay it was probably a little bit easier because she

(24:05):
has set up for podcasts, so she was and I've
recorded podcast with her before. She was able to send
me audio that's fairly clean. When it came to capturing
audio with Claudia, we had to go through discord and
there's like multiple ways that I had to figure out
to basically record that audio and try and get it
as clean as possible. I know it didn't come through
perfect by any means, but it took a substantial amount
of work to sort of like clean that up. So

(24:26):
editing is a process with which I am not trained for,
but I've become familiar through the struggle of trying to
do it basically. Yeah, but yeah, those two I think
were my favorite this year.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
I have to say Egypt Air Crazy Story, Okay, I
just love those weird incidents type.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
The whole thing is an action movie that you would
think was too outlandish.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
To Yeah, definitely my favorite. Most difficult to record. I
don't ever have to edit, so I don't really worry
about it. How do you think the podcast has changed
you two as individuals from the way you think about
people and the paranormal.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
I'll start with the answer in this one. I'm far
less trusting of individuals in life than I was seven
years ago. I, as a young man, had an open
door policy that I told all my friends about, like, hey,
if you need if you ever need anything from me,
like just come see me. And I used to leave
my door unlocked. I would never fucking do that ever.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Now I'm like dead bolt that shit.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, I don't trust humans. I think I feel about
the same on the paranormal side of things. Maybe slightly
less skeptical, but only slightly, but significantly less trusting of
human beings for sure.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Well, well for me, I think I'm more definitely more paranoid.
Like when I leave the garage in the morning, I'm
always afraid of someone coming into the garage while I'm
closing it.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, But do you are you paranoid enough to
actually pay attention when you back out?

Speaker 1 (25:54):
I will look, I definitely look.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
There's so many times where we'll back up together and
she'll just start driving. Real Wait, did I close the garage.
I'm like, I pressed the button.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
It's fine. So I've definitely become more paranoid if people
are like in cars following me or or you know,
stuff like that, or I have just weird, I rational fears,
And I don't think that has anything to do with
the show. I just think the older I get, the
more fears I have that that necessarily don't make sense.

(26:23):
But that's just how life goes you. You witness things
happening and you just ingrained and self in your head. Uh,
the file destination thing with the logs, I saw a
video the other day where it's like when everyone sws, it's.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
A dome to be afraid of. Oh my, it didn't
hit anything. It just fell off the side, but could
have been. I mean, final destination physics are not necessarily
something that I think you need to be afraid of.
The scenarios fine, but the physics of like the log
jumped like a bunny and went straight through, Like, yeah,
I guess that could happen. But just it's a movie, y'all.

(27:00):
HiT's a movie, all right. Next one, this one is
from ash If you had to be a hot dog
or a hamburger, which would you be and why? Also,
what toppings will you be having with it?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Hot dog?

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Hot dog? What are your topping?

Speaker 1 (27:15):
My toppings?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, you gotta have relish one sports peppers, love sports
peppers and ketchup and mustards. Well, no, I don't. I
don't want the banana peppers. You know, those peppers that
you get on a Chicago dog, kind of those long
skinny ones.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
I mean, I'm from the region and I barely ever
had a Chicago dog, so I know I kind of
know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, those long skinny ones, those I want those and
relish ketchup mustard. Okay, no, mayo, who puts fucking on
hot dog?

Speaker 2 (27:50):
That's insane. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
But definitely a hot dog. Why would I be a
hot dog? I just enjoy the shape more than hamburger.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Okay, we get that.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Well, like, okay, say, when you're when you're in a
hot dog bun, Okay, okay, you're caressed by the hot
dog bun.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Gotcha?

Speaker 1 (28:07):
As a hot dog. When you're a hamburger, you're like
flopped down on one butt and someone just shoves the
other one on top of you. Ew I would rather
between two small soft I would rather be caressed by
the bun.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Okay, it's about being cuddled versus being smushed. For me,
I would be a hamburger technically a cheeseburger. I'd have
two patties. I would have some form of like not
too sweet, not too tangy, barbecue sauce, probably like a
pepper jack or maybe even a mozzarella cheese. I'd also
want bacon onion strings that are like fried damn and
then pulled pork, because that is like my favorite burger.

(28:44):
It used to be from Carls Junior. It's the one
that Kate Upton ate on like the the sports car
where she isn't a bra.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
I don't know if you remember that that chick from
that commercial where she's in the white and like the
war one.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Well, I just described you the commercial she's in for
Carls Junior, which is the only commercialized She was like
a supermodel who is in a Carl's Junior commercial looking
like super hot, and everyone was just like, this commercial
is not appropriate. I would want to be that burger
because one, it's my favorite burger. In two, if I
were that burger, that means I would have been in
Kate Upton's mouth. The fuck I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
I mean, if you were saying like you'd been in
a lot of people's mouths. Anyway, it's moving on, Okay,
Yakane says, at this point, do you still get afraid
of the bumps in the night? Do you now rationalize
anything you don't understand? And have you become more skeptical
of things you can't explain? So I will tell you.
I was reading a book and it wasn't even a

(29:36):
fucking horror book. It was Hollow, which is like a
smutty version of sleepy Hollow, and I got scared. I
was reading it while I was brushing my teeth and
there was a horror scene.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Reading smut while you're brushing your teeth seems like there's
some Freudian things we should dive into with a.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Therapist just saying no, I just I read when I
I brush my teeth. Okay. Anyway, I was reading and
it was a horror scene and it was describing all
these things happening that were scaring me, and it was like,
I can't. I'm brushing my teeth, looking at the sink,
reading and I'm like I can't look up in the
mirror right now. I'm too scared to look into the

(30:19):
mirror right now. And so I still get scared when
things When we hear literal bumps in the night, like
at our at our house, I don't want to go
outside and to investigate. Adam has to go with the dog.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
She still does not.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
I'm not, you know, I'm not that you know. I'm
too scared rationalizing things I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, I'm a very rational person.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
No, I'm like aliens bro jump to conclusions quite often.
Uh what about you?

Speaker 2 (30:47):
For me, I still do get afraid of bumps in
the night. I have the rule that I hold pretty
true too, which is if the dogs aren't freaked out,
I'm not freaked out. So as long as the dogs
are calm. If I heard something, I'm like, this is
a normal noise. The dogs have heard of it before.
It might have just been louder. If the dogs start
barking at the darkness and the kitchen at two in
the morning, which they did a few nights ago, that
freaks me the fuck out.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
So when it goes into the next question here, when
that happens, do you keep the knowledge of how to
beat the supernatural in your mind?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Uh, yeah, of course, I'm always thinking about stuff like, okay,
iron JANKI glue, I definitely want my salt nearby. But
I don't think whenever I hear something like that in
the middle of the night, I don't think I'm about
to confront the supernatural. I think I'm about to confront
an intruder. So I go out there in the mindset
of like be angry and hurt the person news in
the house. Yeah, and I'm a pretty big guy, so

(31:36):
I can be scary and intimidating if it's just some
kid fucking around or something like that. Do I rationalize
anything I don't understand. I've kind of always done that
because I don't react towards stuff with fear, or at
least I try not to. I'm trying to figure out,
like what is actually happening. That way, I don't have
some sort of like an emotional response that I could
regret in the future and have I become more skeptical

(31:57):
of the things I can't explain. I think I'm actually
a little bit less skeptical because the more I've done
the show and I've talked with other skeptics. The more
I've realized most skeptics have incredibly lazy logic of like,
of course that doesn't exist. It's like, oh, oh cool,
Like what do you mean, like in what context and

(32:18):
what research? Like what cultures are you saying that from
the perspective of like, oh, it's fucking dumb, bro. There's
this like dismissive mindset to me, which is just as
lazy at stupid as someone who like believes in every
single who like watches every episode of Ghost Adventures like
it's all true.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, I you know, I am not that type of
person who I'm like everything's true. There's certain things that
happen that I'm like, that's a ghost for shure.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Like when I watch The Goolboys, there's an episode where
they they are on the Queen Mary, or they are
playing a video from a previous trip on the Queen Mary,
and there's a point where this this classic bag that
was holding like the toilet tries or whatever, and it's over.
It doesn't just get it doesn't flop over. It's like
it gets crush. It's like, what the fuck just did

(33:02):
that to this plastic bat? That's a fucking ghost. But
I feel like there are It's become like a joke
reflex for me sometimes to just say, like it's a ghost,
it's a demon, you know, like.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Leading to that. Do you keep the knowledge of how
to beat the supernatural in your mind?

Speaker 1 (33:18):
No, because when I'm scared, I just immediately am scared.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
You'll become pretty dumb when you're scared.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, I'm just like, what is that?

Speaker 2 (33:26):
What creature do you think you could handle? If you
had to deal with one?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
That's a creature that I think I could handle. Would
be anything that's cute.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Do you think you can handle anything that's cute? Yeah,
I could handle moth man. Understand what you're trying to do.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
I could handle.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
I understand what you're trying to do. Also, turn around,
I got a quarter. I got to see if the
rumors are true.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Oh yeah I could. Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
There's more. There's another question here. Actually, there's a few
more questions here. If you had been encryptid, what kind
of cryptid? What would you be? Not a pre existing one?
But given the chance, how would you change your body?
Gil's wings, flipper's tail, horns, ginormous cock? Where would you
stomping grounds? Be u we'll stop right there and you

(34:08):
can go first.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Okay, definitely wings, Definitely horns. Uh yeah, I'm very you know,
like Lilith. Give me those vibes. Give me Lilith vibes.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Okay, like Lilith from Diablo for represented in Tony, I'm sorry,
from Supermodel that's completely naked covered in blood, because that's
what Lilith is from True Blood.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
No, no, no, I want to I want to be
like Lilith from Diablo. Four horns, the like nails that
could rip through you, you know, wings and not.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Literally describing a demon, just not.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Angel wings, but like bat wings and like just I
wouldn't want a ginormous cock, but I I think I
would want to be like I would want my skin
to be like slippery, you know slippery.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yeah, it sounds gross, almost like a slippery, just winged,
horned like creature that could just rip you to pieces
if I wanted to.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
I mean, I obviously I want to tail. I guess
that's not obvious, but I want to tell I think
it'd be fun to have when you could pick up
stuff with it, like.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
A tail with a hand on.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
The tails don't have hands on The one creature that
has a tail. Oh no, oh my god. Now I
want to tail like the queen alien in the movie
Aliens that has all the aliens in it.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Name one creature, Like, that's the creature that's not.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
A creature, that's a fucking pokemon. I also want wings.
I would also like leathery bat wings. I don't want
like angel style wings.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
You know, it's funny because I uh, I don't know,
maybe I read a bunch of too much nut. But
like where they like touch the wings and the wings
are like an erode in a zone. I think that's weird.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
That is weird. Thank you for bringing them up my
stopping grounds. I would probably just have it be any
place where they speak English so that I could freak
them out and I knew what they were saying.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah at Chicago, why would you?

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Or I don't want it to be someplace that's constantly
cult So I would like travel like in the winter,
like the atom cryptid would not be cited and the.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
So my skin is slippery, right imagine, But what if
it's just built into me that when my skin gets cold,
like in the winter, my it's like I evolve into
a different form.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Where it's like going back to Pokemon, where.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
I become like this diamond like skin of a killer.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Belly knew you're gonna say skin of a killer? Why
would you or what would cause you to show yourself?
I really hate you? So you're just like the most
horrifying version of Cupid. It's like what uh for me?
I really like fucking Mothman style. But I would be
like a harbinger of like inconvenience. I like show up

(36:58):
people like, holy shit, I saw this thing. It was horrifying.
The next day, like your tire would be flat, like
not like oh the bridge collapse would be like god,
damn itulate for work type of thing? Would you be
a helpful entity or neutral? Would you cause harm? I
think we kind of just cover that. I reserve the
right to go on a Jersey devil fucking killing spree
weekend or whatever if he did to tear that fucking place.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I would never kill people.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Playful trickery as the trickery for sure.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Yeah, I would definitely be whatever angel is the one
that causes all the problems and supernatural Yeah yeah, like
the jokester.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yeah yeah, he winds up being Gabriel. They change his
identity like three times. Would you have supernatural powers or
just have the animalistic abilities of your adaptation? Yeah, I'd
have both for sure. I'd be able to fly because
of my wings. But I'd also want to do like
the fucking bad guy from a horror movie where you
just like vanish and appear somewhere else, like the teleportation thing. Uh.
That would be it for me, though, I think anything

(37:54):
else for you? Any you want to add on there?

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Nope?

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Okay, cool, good questions? All right?

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Salamander with wings and horns?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Salamanders would die in the winter. Just moving on to
Captain Fake I if you had to redo a whole
year of the podcast, which specific year would it be
and why? When I read this question, I was like,
does she have a least favorite year of.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
But then yeah, there's.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
A question from her later on. Yeah. But for me,
I would want to redo the first year, not just
because of like I'd want to relive those feelings. I
would want to take another crack at some of those topics.
How much better of a job. I fucked up one
time and I redid a topic and I wound up
with a script that was like six and a half pages.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Long, So much better than they it was.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
So I went and I went through and I realized, like,
the end of this reminds me of something, and I
realized it was a topic that I covered partially in
like a multi topic episode. And when I found it,
I was like, God, damn it, I did such a
better job narratively of like digging into the mystery.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
You just done it.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
And I was just like, I almost did, and I
still have the topic. I saved it, and I was
just like, it'd be really fun to go back and
do some of the stuff, Like I'd love to do
like past live syndrome again. Oh absolutely, I'd like to
recover sleep paralysis. And then we kind of dipped our
toe back into it here and there. But there's multiple
things that I'd really like to kind of like go
over again. I don't like the idea of rehashing topics
because it makes it seem like we're running out of stuff. Yeah,

(39:20):
realistically we're kind of low on supernatural stuff, but never ending. Yeah,
it really is. So.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
I mean, there's so many documentaries that have come out
though recently that I just can't bring myself to watch.
There's topics we haven't brought up yet because I think
they're too controversial, like John Bennie Ramsey. I haven't brought
up Jonestown or whatever, Jamestown.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
In Jonestown, I have no problem.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
There's just certain topics like that for me that I
can't I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
I'll tell you what I don't like when someone's completely
convinced to something and it's a conspiracy theory and they
want to try and give me shit because I didn't
validate their opinions, and it's just like I have had
it happen on every fucking topic that I've covered that
I've done extensive research into, and uh, it's just like,
get fucked, man. And like I had one person who
got a little bit shitty with me because I explained

(40:06):
what the burrows of New York were and they're like,
no one fucking cares. And it's just like it's actually
really important because the fact that Son of Sam only
haunted like specific burrows meant that other ones didn't give
a fuck. And then as soon as he crossed into
the third Borough, which was substantially higher income, he was
fucking caught. Which was the whole lead up during the
script to point that out. Yea, and someone just heard

(40:28):
it for like ten seconds, so like, let me just
quickly explain what the burrows are and took the time
to fucking complain. And those are the people that you
kind of just wish you could reach through the phone
and just slap me, like, hey, why.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
We've had a couple instances where we've been like, well,
this is a useless email we've just received, because it's
just I mean.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
We've got thousands upon thousands of compliments. I'd say you
could count on one hand the amount of people who
were shitty in seven years, and you kind of just
remember those more than you remember the compliments. I try
and always support of people.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Guys. I have been told, as somebody who is an
engineer by you know that's my career, have had someone
comment or or or review and say I'm so dumb
I couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag.
So there are people out there that are just like
mean to be mean bricks. And you know what, I.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Tell me that I was lying about a piece of
evidence that I found in one of the topics. I
was like, no, like it's in the fucking documentary. The
guy literally talks about it like it's in like three
different books, and I just replied, and I said, like,
here's all the information where he's been quoted, and here's
the video where you can watch him say this himself. Also,
he's dead, so if you want to fucking take it
up with him, get yourself a Wiji board, because it's

(41:46):
just like people put such low effort into being rude,
and it's just like we put a lot of effort
in this show.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Yeah, and so you know stuff like that. At this point,
we're seven years in. Guys, it doesn't bother us.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
I'm not worried about losing audience members by being kind
of mean. Like I just told people to go fuck
themselves in a second ago. All right, let's welcome to you.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Let's go into phase. You know other question that she
kind of.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
You want to jump forward a few days. This is
a week later, all right.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
So she goes, if you couldn't continue the podcast and
had to start a different one, not about movies, what
did you do a podcast on? And what would be
the very first topic?

Speaker 2 (42:27):
I know your answer. I mean you go definitely motorsport.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
Definitely motorsport, and how anyone can get into motorsport and
it's not you know, I think that that would be
I wish I would have had uh somebody to tell me.
You know. I had to do all the research myself
and had to reach out and contact people, and it

(42:58):
was I'm I know means like in it, you know,
I don't I'm not like, I don't get paid big
bucks to do stuff, but I get to do what
I really like to do. And I've gotten into the
big leagues of like Formula one and stuff like that,
and I think that would be really fun for me

(43:21):
to do. I tried to get my friend who is
really into motorsport, to do this podcast with me, but
he's always really busy. He's he literally goes and watches
races and stuff like that all the time too. So
I don't know how people do it. I don't know how.
I mean expensive, it's expensive, but I don't know how
people have the where all that's all they do. They

(43:42):
just do podcasts on this stuff. And when we have
full time jobs, like I don't get home until seven
seven thirty. I didn't get home to almost eight today
and yesterday and yesterday, and so it's really hard. I
don't know, it's weird.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Yeah, for me, I would probably start a show about
bizarre dick and how they destroy relationships and start with
a topic about f one. If you let your significant
other watch Drive to Survive, he'll never be around them
again unless you're also super into one. No, I'm kidding.
I you know I mentioned the PowerPoint presentation one. My
mind goes to that a lot Nowadayshere, if I want

(44:18):
to start new content, like, I have a bunch of
ideas of how i'd like present it. Yeah, I'll have
always really wanted to do a podcast where I do
or not even a podcast, but like a YouTube series
where I just cover a different board game every week
and have like the creators there. I mean, this is
like wishful thinking obviously, Like I'm not allowed to talk
about the movie one that I love to do.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
I'd start with like independent games like smaller board games.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
I'm aware, and it builds up super super fun board games.
I would love to do it and have them on
They could walk us through like how you're supposed to
play the game, not necessarily like people stumbling their way
through rules and things like that. But I'm gonna go
ahead and go outside of the restriction of not movies
and say if I could, like I would love to
do what James Lipton did when it came to like

(45:03):
interviewing like Inside the Actors Studio type of shit. Obviously
I wouldn't do it exactly how he did it, but
I would like to interview actors, like super famous actors
and get really deep cut. I do very good research,
very similar to how hot Ones does. Their questions really
impresses like the guests, They're like, god, that's a great question.
I've never been asked that before. Like those are moments
that I would love to be a part of. And

(45:25):
I think something that happens far too often when you're
interviewing an actor and you see it, especially when you're
watching hot One's interviews, is that you are forced to
stay on topic to whatever project they're doing, and you
have to stay within like the realm of like what
the PR people allow you to do. And I'd like
to have some sort of vehicle where I could talk
to actors about like themselves. Which is why I found

(45:48):
Inside the Actor Studio so so compelling for so long,
is because it's not like we're only going to sit
here and talk about the Marvel movie You're gonna come
out with, Like I really really enjoy listening to people
journey through life and understanding that they struggled immensely and
how they got through things. And like there's a really
great one that I've watched with George Clooney before where

(46:09):
he talks about like the idea of celebrity and you know,
being celebrated and how bizarre it is and how folks
like really tend to like vehemently reject it sometimes like
these people don't deserve like fame or any of that stuff,
and how he understands that, but like there's something that
other folks need to know, is like imagine interviewing for
every job you ever get to do, like every task
you get to do, and facing rejection constantly, and people

(46:30):
being in a room judging how you're saying every word
and how you look and where every hair is placed,
and how you're constantly putting yourself up for not just rejection,
but to just straight up be told like you're not
good enough, Like you don't look good enough, you don't
act good enough, this is not the job for you.
And how in order to become like an actual actor,
they all have to go through that, and so many

(46:51):
of them go through that and don't come out the
other end, like they have their dream crushed in the
most horrific way, and to have the balls to do
that and constantly put yourself through that, Like maybe they
kind of do deserve to be celebrated just a little
bit because they've gone through so much that no one
ever thinks about. And I never considered it that way.
I was always just like, Fuck, these guys just pretend
to be so and so on TV or on movies,

(47:12):
and they get paid a bunch of money. And that's
not a question you would ever be able to ask
or an answer he would be able to give outside
of a very specific, you know yeah format. And I
just wish there was more of it. So that's why
I'm like super addicted to hot ones. And I still
watch old episode of Inside the Actors Studio and like
that's a super Inside the Actors Studio is such a
rare thing because like it's a class at a university

(47:36):
where you bring these super famous actors there, record the interviews,
and then the students get to ask them questions. Like
Robert de Niro came on, had a wonderful interview and
got asked a question by a student who noticed like
a really like detailed intricacy in one of his roles,
and Robert de Niro was so impressed to them he
remembered his name, and then later on they wound up
working together and now they're best friends. That was Bradley
Cooper when he was still studying at university. And it's

(47:58):
just like, that's just so fucking cool to me, Like,
I find that stuff so fascinating. So that's like a
dream thing that I would love to do. It's not
necessarily like the one that I would spend out like
I'm just gonna give all these super famous celebrities a
call and asks him to come sit down with the
guy they've never met and spilled it.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
I wish we could get dan Aykroyd.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Oh, that'd be so cool. We've been dangering about that
for a long time.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
That would have been an incredible one to get on
Scary Is Shike because he has such an interesting history. Yeah,
with you know, the paranormal, his family and ringing, that
would be cool just put the universe.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Let's I would get him on the show, and that
I would immediately tell him like, hey, just you know,
Robin's never seen Blues Brothers and he would just walk off,
so it's on the list for the other podcast.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
All right, next one.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
All right, moving on Chunkster asks. It's been seven years
since the beginning of the podcast. Both of you are
different people from back then, literally speaking, because it takes
about seven years for yourselves to regenerate, give or take.
We are our all time lords somehow. I know it's
hard to see changes about yourself because it's a gradual change.
So Robin, how do you think Adam changed from then

(49:04):
to now? And Adam? How about Robin?

Speaker 1 (49:10):
I think you've become much more relaxed when it comes
to trying to pump out episodes, because back in the day,
it was like we cannot skip a week, we cannot
do this, we cannot do that. And now it's like
we have to worry about our mental health, we have
to worry about like having you know, me time, having

(49:31):
downtime where we're not focused on having to work, having
to do a side business, having to do this, having
to do that. I think your career has grown a lot,
and because your career has turned up a few notches,
things the other that are on the side have had to,
you know, get put down a little bit. And I

(49:53):
think that's without anybody's life, not just like doing this
podcast or whatever. Sometimes when there's certain things happen and
you got to put other things on the back burner
or whatever. But I think you've you've definitely chilled out
a lot and and understood, like you can't always constantly
be doing something because you'll drive yourself crazy trying to

(50:18):
meet these deadlines that you make for yourself. You're you're
putting so much pressure on yourself and it's stressing you out.
You know, let me give you a mini therapy session,
But no, it's it's I just think you've we've definitely
taken journeys to focus more on ourselves and things that
that we didn't realize we needed to address or whatever.

(50:44):
And I think you guys have noticed, like in the show,
we don't take ourselves as seriously now, we try to
have more fun. We try to.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
I don't know, I feel like we've always had fun.
But I totally understand what you're saying about, like taking
the schedule less seriously, like it was very important to
me to I don't know. I'll get to you here
in a second. I swear okay, Like when I did
the nerd Chills podcast, which was the video game podcast.
I remember watching an interview with one of the content
creators that I really did enjoy, and they asked them,

(51:17):
what would you say for someone that's starting out a
brand new podcast in this field and like media entertainment,
and they said, consistency. There's just a million things out there.
It's the only thing that you can really control is
if you're consistent, because if you miss a week, that
could be the death of your show. And I took
that very very seriously, and I honestly still do. I'm
still very obsessive about the numbers and seeing the episode
download numbers from day to day, from week to week,

(51:40):
and like the overall numbers for the show. Every time
we take a week off. I watched the dip happen.
I'm always analyzing if we recover the next week when
we release an episode, and you know, that's something that's
just a part of who I am. But at the
same time, I do want to make sure that we
prioritize our mental health because we do have a lot
more going on and things in our life for a

(52:00):
little bit more high stakes than they used to be.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
I guess it's the best thing Yeah, the older you get,
everything is just it's like one bad move could really
fuck up a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Yeah, But at the same time, like I do understand that,
Like there's this mindset that I was very ingrained in
because it was kind of part of my like work ethic,
which is like you have to grind, like wake up
and grind, like all this fucking hashtags that people just use,
and it's like it just very quickly donned me, like
it's fucking bullshit, Like that's all bullshit, that's just what
people tell you to convince you to work really hard

(52:31):
for them. Yeah, and I realized like I was making
myself do it for myself and other people, like fans
of the show, like people in my life, were like,
you should take some time off, and it's just like no,
Like even when we went to Japan, I was like,
we need to record four episodes in advance that I
can schedule them will come out that way, there's never
a gap in the content being released. And nowadays it's
like vibe bitches like Thanksgiving happened, We're decided not to

(52:54):
show up. So it's uh, it's harder. I think about
it every day, to be honest, with you. I'm just
like I wish we wouldn't have started being as lax
because we do miss a lot of episodes. I thought
about it today because people were posting their most listen
to shows and.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Are not as high up on some.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
People because they don't have as much opportunity to listen
to our stuff, and just like, yeah, but at the
same time, we've been able to do a whole lot
more personally and travel a whole lot more and enjoy
life a whole lot more. So I agree with your
assessment as far as you know changes that Robin's undergone.
I think when we started Robin, you know, obviously still
being a student, was a little bit more stressed about

(53:34):
like life goals. You were always like I'm never going
to graduate, or things are always revolving around, like you
feeling like you were spinning your wheels. And I feel
like you have this momentum in your life right now,
or you feel moving forward, and it's almost like you
remind me of how I was when we started the show,
where it's like I have to keep moving forward, like
I'm moving forward in my career, like you're taking really

(53:54):
big steps forward at a very quick pace. Then outside
of that, like your hobby is an interest, are something
that you can invest like a ton of your time into,
and you're doing so on a level where people are
just like god damn, Like you got into that fast,
Like you were just mentioning like the whole getting into motorsports,
getting into F one already. Like it's something that you
have like a substantial amount of effort being put into

(54:15):
those things. And it's a lot different than before, where
like you didn't feel like you had the time to
do those things because everything had to be dedicated to
studying in school and making sure you graduated.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
You know, when we were doing the video game podcast
before too, I never took that seriously but doing scaryish.
I think why I would want to do year one
over again is because now we take it a little
bit more. I take it a little bit more seriously.
You know, seven years in and I'm like doing research.

(54:47):
I need to pull from a bajillion sources. I can't
just pull up you know, Wikipedia whatever and just breathe that,
Like you have to go through all of these things
that maybe when I was younger, I was like yeah, out, okay, whatever.
But again, we're like, god, middle age now, and.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
I'm gonna turn forty next year. Yeah, but by the
time we get to the next anniversary episode, I will
be forty years old.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
So we're Yeah. So I think me as a person
have gotten better at taking my research seriously. And you know,
even though I've I've kind of pulled back from doing
a bunch of merch and a bunch of releases and

(55:32):
a bunch of that stuff focused more on my personal growth,
but still, like, I know, I need to get stuff
done and and and it's something that I talked with
therapist all the time where I'm just like, I have
a list of a million things that I want to do,
and I'm like making deadlines for myself. But then sometimes

(55:55):
I sit there and I look at the deadline and
it stresses me out so much that I don't want
to touch it, you know. So it's it's I think.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
There's a big part of the reason we haven't started
seeing Missing is because I look at that and I'm like,
it won't be as much work as Scarish, but it's
still gonna be a ton of work. It'll still be
an edit that I have to do, And even though
I would want it to be done on a biweekly
cadence I would very quickly move into once I started
to settle into it, like let's just do weekly, let's
grow the audience type of thing. And I know how
I am. And that's funny because we're talking about this,

(56:23):
and I've talked about it with my therapists before too,
But it's like I have this mindset of anything I
become attached to needs to be done right, and if
someone can tell me this is the correct way to
do it, then I can invest all my effort into that,
like kind of be like a soldier versus when I'm
in charge and I have to like figure that out
on my own. Yeah, I go. I won't say overboard,

(56:44):
but I kind of do things to the point where
I feel like there's more than enough being done. Like
the best example I can give you is like me
and my friends decided back in the day, in like
seventh or eighth grade to start up this website for
like DBZ on that and all it was was a
chat room essentially where you would just go in and
like you would you'd basically it is like an analog

(57:06):
video game, so you would like type certain things and
like cast certain attacks. My friend had found this on
the internet. He joined it, and he's like it kind
of sucks. We could probably do it better. It's like, yeah,
we can. So originally it was like kind of his
brain trout, and like he asked me, like can you
make the website because he knew that I had made
one before. So I did, and then, like I don't
know how back in the day, people started finding it,
but it went from like ten members to twenty members.

(57:27):
These were all stranded, and then it like and also
it was like fifty or sixty people, and then all
of a sudden, my friend who was doing it and
another one of our friends, they kind of just lost interest.
And I was just like there's like sixty fucking people
here that are like depending on us update the website.
Like if they're going through this stuff, they would like
send you a sheet yeah that like I created so
they could fill out to tell me like like if
you leveled up your character, like what do your stats

(57:49):
look like now? And have to go onto their character page.
And I created everyone a character page. And I just
invested so much of my time and energy into this
website and basically just managing an analog video game for
folks in like eighth grade, and I just looking back
and I'm like, yeah. I basically was asked my friends
like why aren't you investing all of your time into this?
Like I am like, are you crazy? And they're like,
we want to fucking go to parties and shit, and
they weren't even inviting me to those things.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
So you know, sometimes that's how hobbies are.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Though.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
I used to play Guya online a lot. My inventory
I read my account's dead now, But like if I
had sold all of the items in my inventory, do
you have any idea or how much money I would
have freaking made? I get it.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
I get the like I've always kind of been that way,
so like starting even back then, like the way Scariest
started when we did Nerd Chills, I had just a
Google doc and I was like, hey, guys, like as
you see announcements or news stories between like our recording sessions,
because they were weekly, like just drop them in. Like
I have a section for PlayStation, section for Xbox, section
for Nintendo, and like every week I go in there

(58:51):
and right before the show, I would collect like recent
activity and the Google sheet. No one who put stuff
in here, and every week it was just me and
that's why eventually I was just like, it's just fucking me,
Like I feel like I'm dragging everyone along. No one
really wants to do this. This is fucking DBC Paradise
all over again, which is what we named our stupid
website in eighth grade. And I was just like, let's
just fucking in this thing. And I like, if I
can hear my co host playing a video game, like

(59:14):
during the edit while he's supposed to be like paying attention,
I'm just like, fuck this man, Like if he's not
paying attention, why should anyone else. That's how I felt,
and I just get like that for just about every
project I get onto.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Hopefully you guys aren't like bored by this episode, bye,
they might be Okay, So let's move on to the
next question here. So I want to dinner, says. Over
the past seven years, has there been a point where
you guys have said we might have to end it? Not?

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Really, I don't think there really has been. I think
we've thought about, like I've worried we're gonna run.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Out of shit, Like it's a real worry. It is
a real worry.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Back in the day, like the first five years of
the show, it was all just like what do I
want to do today, and there was a bunch of
stuff you could pick. I had a topic list with
like fifty things on it, and every now and then
be like, I'm gonna go off the topic list and
find something new. And now if I am like I
want to do a Cryptid, I'm like, shit out of luck.
There's no fucking cryptis love to cover, you know. It's
like I want to do a Possession, I've already covered

(01:00:08):
fucking all. I'm like, I can't do the Hollywood series
anymore because there's just not a lot of fucking like
Hursed movies left to cover, you know, straight up. And
so the only time that I really think that about
like the show might need to end is when I
think about, like we're running out of contents, which is
why switching to a single topic per episode is much
better for us. And like we mentioned earlier, we're going

(01:00:29):
to shift probably fairly heavily into true crime, yeah, because
there is an abundance of true crime, and I would
love to do more supernatural topics. And I think what
that means is more special guests, Yes, having people come
on and talk about their personal experiences to get that
sort of content.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
So, yeah, we have someone we have a friend of
the show whose friend is a mortician, and I really
want to get her on and and you know, get
some information from her because I don't know anything about it.
You know, I think it's absolutely fascinating and hopefully you
guys find it fascinating too. But we're going to try
and get those types of special guests interest topics things

(01:01:12):
like that. I know there's like those people that made
that alien documentary that we haven't reached out.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
So close to. I've reached out to them multiple times. Man, Yeah,
I reached out to these folks. They were doing an
alien documentary. I wound up covering the topic after I
reached out to them a few times. And here back
when I reached out to them. Originally they were doing
a documentary on one of these alien encounters that was
like the most verified encounter in like human history, and
they were getting ready to release their documentary at a
film festival, and I reached out. I was like, would

(01:01:38):
you guys like to come on the show? Like it
can be as brief for as long as you guys want,
and we dedicate the entire episodes to you guys, and
they were really interested, but they said they're in the
middle of finishing up the edit. They would get back
to us and then we would be able to see
if we can get them on the show. And then,
like I just they never contacted again and they didn't
respond anything, and from what I can tell, the documentary
wound up not being released. Oh so yeah, that was unfortunate.

(01:01:59):
But yeah, I just kind of want to ask, like
content creators I follow, and I'd be like, hey, like,
we have a small time podcast. You know, there's a
decent built in audience. They're really responsive if you want
to come on the show and just talk about any
paranormal experiences that we had. Like a great example is
like a lot of Pierce. I don't know if any
of you guys know who a lot of Pierces.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
A lot of Pierce is the one who is dating
Rahu COOLi.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
I have no idea if there's still dating because I
don't really follow people's personal relationships that much because that's
just not my thing. But she was she worked for
Igen for a while. She wasn't a lot of their podcasts.
When I still used to listen to a lot of
video game podcasts. She was also on the show called
Pockets Full of Soup, which is by a guy who
also worked at Igen and his side show is just
about tell me about someone that you're thankful for in
your life. And everyone would always pick these like people

(01:02:44):
that you wouldn't think you would talk about, and there's
just just like heartbreaking yet heartwarming stories that they talk about.
And Alana has one where she talks about her mother
and her mother's a paradise Schipzo friend.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
All the stories on Pocket Full of Soup, if you
guys haven't listened to that podcast, are incredibly good.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Yeah, and her episode, I really would just like, ah,
this is so fascinating because I have a lot of
parallels in my life because I have a brother's paranoid schizophrenic,
and so I've kind of like followed her career just
to make sure like things are going well. She became
a game writer for Sony Santa Monica, I think, and
she was there for four years and she just recently
announced that she's leaving. She had a personal tragedy in

(01:03:19):
her life and it kind of put things into perspective
that the only times that she's seen her family since
she moved from Australia in the last ten years. Is
when you know this person was passing away and how
she like misses people and she feels like she's doing
life wrong, which is something like on the outside looking in,
it's like this woman moved from Australia to follow her dream.
She got a job at IGN, she became an internet personality.

(01:03:39):
She dated Rahul Cooley, who's a hot Tadigumblatti and yet
still like a personal tragedy happened and she realized, like,
I'm not spending enough time doing the things with the
people I want to do them with, right, So she
was saying that she's going to try and be a
freelance writer and try and find other projects that she
can work on.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
She does a really good job hosting events like being EMC.
You know, she's very charming, she's very funny.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
But when I saw that announcement, I was like, I
wonder if she would want to come on the show.
I was talking about her projects. But our show is
like I always work because it's like we're kind of
small potatoes. We don't have a massive audience to offer
to people where it's like there's a ton of exposure.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
People are like, you guys don't even have ten K yeah,
and we're.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Like, what do you want right, Like, yeah, I fucking
get it. Like it's just you know, come on, I
just want to hang out and talk to you, like
I think it'd be fascinating. And then I worry, like,
you know, our audience won't even care. They'd be like, oh,
who is this person? Like they probably would love Alana,
but like, there's a lot of folks that I would
want to reach out to to bring on the show
that they might just like not be interested. I do
think that everyone has like some sort of like spiritual,

(01:04:39):
supernatural or personal story that they could share. Some people
straight up just don't though, So it'd be weird to
reach out and be like, hey, I'm introducing myself. Here's
the premise of my show for them to be like
I actually would like to come on, but nothing like
that's ever happened to me, you know, So there's just
a lot of awkward stuff when it comes to that.
That would be kind of weird.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
It would be cool to do like different career corners,
like bring it up. So you know, we have a
lot that we could do.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
We're just there's a lot of pivoting that needs to
be done going into year eight, so we don't have
to have the thought of we might have to end
the podcast going back to the original question that we
got pretty far away from. Again, all right, I will
move on to the next round of questions from let's
go to Disney. He says, congrats on seven years. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
We actually got to meet them. We actually went to
Disney with them.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
I know we went to Disney with a group of people. Yeah,
so I can never quite remember one of them. Okay,
thank you for coming to Disney with us. That was
super fun. It was funny because everyone's just like, oh, hey,
how's it going. We're like, no, you're hanging out with
us all day. I know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
I felt.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
You guys need a branch off. That's fine, but we're going.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
You guys want to go on.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
You're gonna you know, Jones, we did a bunch of rides. So, okay,
a lot has change. What's your favorite thing that's changed,
least favorite thing that's changed the way you say favorite,
My accent is my least favorite thing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Favorite thing that's changed. Going from two topics to one
in episode, I think that gives us a lot more
time to interact and talk back and forth. There was
an issue there for a little while where I had
to like raise my hand in order to make sure
that he Adam knows how when to stop so I
can say something Robin.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
I am from a Puerto Rican family where you talk
until you're interrupted, and Robin does not interrupt, so I'll
just keep going because I'm like, oh, she must not
be interested, so I need to cover this myself.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
And so now doing the one topic thing is a
lot easier to do and converse on least favorite thing
that's changed, what's the least favorite, I don't know. There's
nothing that I least favorite thing that's changed. Not enough
time for me to do all the Patreon shit because
I need to do it. How about that?

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
So my favorite thing that's changed, I'm not I'll be honest,
I'm not the biggest fan of doing the single topic
episodes because I like having like content packed episodes. But
I do think it's the best thing for the health
of the podcast, So I'll say that's probably the best thing,
maybe not my favorite. My least favorite thing that's changed

(01:07:20):
is we don't get a lot of story times anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
I do miss when we used to get so many
stories and they were always so interesting. We got some
crazy ones. I miss getting those stories from people. I
don't miss the people that copy pasted from Reddit.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
That happen.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
But yeah, we love homegrown Whores.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
That's like we have an audience. Still. It's not like
we don't have an audience, and it's pretty substantial, even
especially compared to the first podcast I did. But that said,
I think a lot of folks don't engage. They don't
really send in their homegrown whores the way the enthusiasm
was for like the first five years. And there's a
lot of folks who have sent in all their stories
already who still listen but don't have anything else to contribute.

(01:08:05):
I do appreciate people not just deciding to go make
something up and send it in. But yeah, we still
hear a lot of folks like, oh, I'm gonna send
in my story one of these days, like make that
day today. Okay, So that's probably my least favorite thing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
Pet peeve from the podcast, like part of recording, posting
or dealing with specific issues.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
Or what my pet peeve is. If we're going live
and you have not entered into the room in times
same time.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
I know Adam's pet peeve is when we're in the
middle of recording and I'm picking at my nails or something.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
She always has some distraction, and I get she has
add but she always has some distraction that takes her
away from like some like big reveal I'm about to
say on my app my script, and I look over
and she's like looking at her nails, or she's like
just doing something else, or she's just miles away. My
pet peeve, though, is like when I've been setting up

(01:08:55):
a live stream for like an hour hour and a half,
I just need to do sound check. I need to
have her sit down in her chairs that we can
see if we frame properly. And then I'm just like,
all right, I gotta go live. I gotta get the
countdown going. And then she like comes in like a
minute before we go live, and she's like, so's everything
ready to go. And I always tell like, if I
was a producer and we were getting paid to this show,
I'd fucking fire you, bro. I used to tell it,

(01:09:16):
like I'm gonna find you five dollars for every missed
audio check that you get, and like I can count
on a single hand the ones that she showed up
for on time. So that's probably my biggest pet peeve
when it comes to doing anything for the podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
All right, so you don't have anything, uh no, because
you deal with all the issues with you know, Okay,
a pet peeve probably you Like you said, uh, when
you cover your topic, you go straight through, and sometimes
it's very hard for me to get something in.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
I should point out that is a result of the
fact that sometimes when I think you will engage with
a particular part of it, I might notice that you're
not necessarily paying attention. It got worse when you move
and we were doing all the shows through discord. Yeah,
because there was like a lag in the chat which
left a cadence where I couldn't even tell when you
wanted to say something, say something, which is where the

(01:10:09):
hand raising thing came to be clear.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
All right, next one, what's the best compliment you each
have received about the podcast or personally whatever? Uh whatever?
You can go first, best compliment, I don't fucking know.
I don't know. I tell myself I'm funny all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
She really does, like every day if she has a
joke that is kind of funny. She's like, what's it
like being with the funniest person on the planet? You know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Compliment we've had received as a podcast, I think. I
think it's really sweet whenever people are just like you
guys are like so funny, and you guys talk to
each other and it's so chill, like you know, like
I love when people say it's kind of like having
friends that are talking, you know, or when people message

(01:11:03):
us and say we help them through a really hard
time in their life, or or stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
I knowing that people can listen to us and feel comfortable, yeah,
is really always very nice to hear. It's funny because
when we read that it said about the podcaster personally,
I was wondering that, like, wait, is this regarding the
podcast or just the nicest compliment anyone's ever given to me?
I think for me, like the my personal like best
compliments I've gotten for the show have come from like
people I know, like my buddy Garrett, who has been

(01:11:29):
on episodes before.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
He's he's a sound editor.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
He's a sound editor. It's like he makes his life
editing sound. He's also you know, like the lead a
song engineer.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
I think is his sound Engineering.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
I think that's his title on Hello from the Magic Tavern,
So it's it's, you know, a podcast. It's substantially bigger
than ours. Yes, he's like very impressive, like it's his
career essentially, and he reached out to me very early
in the podcast can be bullshit all the time. Even
though I moved away, me and Garrett still stay in
touch pretty frequently just to say, like the show is
really good, Like he was very impressive that he really
enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
It's always been incredibly supportive, like he was like, hey,
you know you could do this for your audio. Do this,
I think it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
He taught me about compressors, he talked about some EQ
stuff that I didn't know about.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
Shout out to Garrett.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Yeah, it's definitely helped, you know, improve the quality of
the show. And then my buddy Tim. I've known Tim
for a very long time, since we're like seven years old,
and I didn't I figured Garrett was going to get
wind of it, because Garrett's always been like the supportive
type and he always like sees stuff that you're posting
and knows what projects you're working on. Sort of thing
like that. And my my buddy Tim. I didn't know
he was listening, you know. Yeah, and then he reached

(01:12:32):
out to me and day he's like, I just want
to let you know, man, like been listening to your show.
I was like, oh no, shit. He's like, I'm really
proud of you. I was just like, oh wow. I
did not expect that, like at all. And then he
sent in his stories and I was like, oh, this
means a whole lot to me. Like I didn't know
how much it mean to me. I'm not I just
didn't know how much it means to me until he
sent that in.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
I have a soft spot for Garrett just because he's
like one of your first friends who sat down next
to me, was like the doctor who.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
Garrett is very outgoing and very nerdy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
Oh oh yeah, anyway, that's sweet. Yeah nice. What's something
each of you thinks everyone should do at least once
in their life if they're able, go to Italy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
Yeah, if you have a ton of money and a
ton of spare time.

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
You can go on a budget.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
To be fair, we didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
We didn't really nice to do it. Same thing with Japan.
I think you should go to Japan or go to
Europe at least once in your life. They're very different vibes,
but such a cool thing to experience. I mean, if
you're from America, okay, if you're from America, if you're
if you're like from the US, like us who just
deal with the same thing every day, going to a

(01:13:40):
foreign country like that was really interesting because everyone lives
their lives differently. Things work differently, transportations different, food is different.
I guess that's what I'm really saying, experience something outside
your culture.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Yeah, I like that a lot. I'll piggyback off that
a little bit. I really do think it's important to
like just travel, even if it's regionally, just go somewhere
that you're not familiar with and just try and like
experience it versus judging it from Afar, because I think
that it's much easier to just judge from Afar whether
or not it's to daydream that it's so much better
than your life, or to think that it sucks because

(01:14:17):
it's not your life type of thing. Either way, Like,
just go try stuff. I don't know, as far as
like something everyone should do at least once in their life,
if able, Mine are always like a lot more philosophical
than like actual tasks to go do. Like, I honestly
feel like there's a lot of people who are very
restrained and don't talk about the things that actually matter
to them because they're worried that they're going to be
judge for who they are. Ye, Like I would say,

(01:14:39):
if you're like that kind of person, like, just try it. Like,
if it drives folks away, those are the people you
didn't want to around in the worst place.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Try it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
And the people that it does attract here the folks
that you want around, Like, just be your authentic self
with people, like try that, especially if you're younger. That
I drove away lots of folks because I was just like, look,
this is who I am, and I like who I am,
And you realize a lot more when you're like that,
You like the person you are, and when you're around
people who like you, it makes you feel good like

(01:15:05):
this person knows who I actually am and not like
the person I'm pretending to be, which I think a
lot of people get caught up in.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
All Right, So before we get to Glitch's question, let's
finish up with his and then okay, so the next one,
So Nalina says, which country is cryptids or folklore. Would
you like to explore more in future episodes? I would
probably want to do like European, more European ones. There's
a lot of European countries we have not touched yet.

(01:15:31):
I bet there's some weird shit in Russia. At TVH
we haven't covered anything. I feel like out there there's
tundra that it's just open space. There's got to be weird.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Open frozen space. Yeah, for sure. Europe for me, for sure,
I would like to explore each state and make sure
I've done my due diligence out in the United States,
stuff that I can go visit, I would really like
to cover. Even though Robin's a scaredy cat, we'd almost
certainly never go.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
So my friend's dad is a ghost hunter. Maybe we'll
do some weird ghost hunting things in the future.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Cool, all right. That brings us to Glitch And this
will be the last question for the show. And I
know some of you guys like hour and a half show,
thank god, but seven years dang, congratulations to you two.
Let's do Mary fuck Kill kick any three? And why
something fun? But you can't pick the moth Man? What?

Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
No, but he's the one with the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
We just I feel like we just did Mary fuck
Kill for cryptids, we did like two rounds on our
three hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
Okay, I don't even remember what I said, right, I
don't remember what I said for my cryptids that I chose. Okay,
what what cryptid would you marry?

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
I don't you know what. I kind of don't want
to do cryptids.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Okay, So instead of having it be cryptids, since we
already did that, yes, why don't we do you know,
a little bit of everything, like every topic we've ever done,
any topic, and that includes like.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
You know, like abstract shit, no, like.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
A what is that one guy who stole all that
money got on that plane?

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
And Cooper?

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
Yes, you know, like that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
Okay, so obviously dB Cooper is going to be part
of it, only if it's low key. Let's not include
serial killers, can.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
We Yeah, yeah, we can exclude serial killers. But the
dB Cooper, I hope he looks like I.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
Mean, it has to be how he looks in the
things that you've actually shown on the show, So keep
that in mind. It can't just be that one iteration
where he looks like Tom Hddleston because Tom Hindleston was
made to look like the picture of d B. Cooper. Yeah,
all right, So number two I want it to be
Edgar Allen Poe, d B. Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe. And
this is one that's kind of coming out of left

(01:17:42):
field because we haven't covered them at least I don't
think we have. But Davy Jones specifically as they are depicted.
What the fuck Mary fuck kill go no? What?

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
Okay? Wait, okay, I would fuck Davy Jones. Wow, hey,
he's got them.

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
I had to make it, you never know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
And I would MARRYDB Cooper because run away with me.
You have all that money, let's disappear.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
You're killing Edgar Allan Poe. That's dude, that's fucked up,
just saying no.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
Okay, I'm sorry, but like DV Cooper, Loki, DV Cooper,
come on, I gotta you know, can't can't say no.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
So okay, I'm killing DV Cooper just to break your heart.
I'm marrying Edgar Allan Poe because that dude's been through enough.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
Okay, that's sweet.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
I guess that means I have to fuck Davy Jones.
But I think Edgar Allan Poe will understand, so right on,
I think that satisfies kind of glitious questions.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
It also gives you a glimpse into our sick, sick,
twisted mind for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
But yeah, extra long episode, as they always are for
the anniversary episodes. I will say for this Christmas season,
Robin already mentioned it, we are in the process of packing.
Then the week after that we're in the process of moving.
So we will definitely not have an episode in two weeks.
I don't know if we're gonna have one next week.
We'll try and see what we can do, and then
around Christmas time, like it's gonna December is gonna be

(01:19:18):
a little bit hit or miss, so we'll see what
we can do as far as getting stuff out for
you folks. But we'll try and get one or two
out this month, and we'll try and post our socials
to let you know whether or not that's gonna be
an episode for that specific week. So it's just holiday season, y'all.
And we have to move during holiday season, which totally sucks.
