Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hey, they're spooky friends and welcome to another episode of
the Scary Ish Podcast. It's been a while. I'm Robin Gray.
This is ANAMDASO and uh we're the hosts of this
spooky ish, scary ish podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
This true crime slash paranormal slash, supernatural.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Slash Natural, disaster slash.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Extra anything that's scary scary.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I think it's just the idea of what can scare
you really, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So that's the stuff we talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
And one of the things we should cover is like
horrible diseases.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I've done that. We've covered a lot of plagues, so
we covered them before COVID too, And I didn't realize
how controversial it would be to point out that during
the Spanish flu, some people refuse to wear masks, and
I talked about how stupid those people were, and then
I hate mail when COVID hit, when people were like,
you don't take away my freedom cut damn it. I'm
just like, okay, whatever that was in twenty nineteen, I
(01:07):
did that episode, but thanks any who. Fun times. Yeah,
we're back again. July is gonna be a fun month.
We're gonna have multiple episodes. I know. June we only
had one to having one because work had me traveling.
I was down in the Dominican Republic, which was very beautiful.
It was very nice. A lot of folks down there
had stories that they didn't want to really tell. But
(01:30):
one of my operations managers from a different site, he
was not in the same city as I was when
I was there, apparently has some story that is fucking
mind blowing that everyone at the site I was at
were like, you need to talk to Bismarck because Bismarck
has a story that scares the shit out of people
because they travel between sites. There's one in Santiago and
(01:50):
Santo Domingo. And during the drive, they had like four
people in the car and he was driving, and he
told him like his story, like it's like I think
it might be a cryptid story or a ghost or
something along those lines, and they like were yelling at him,
like you need to stop, like you're scaring everyone in
the fucking what sounds like. I cannot wait to see Bismarck.
(02:10):
I had my portable microphone just in case someone had
a story for me, so I will make sure it's
packed and get that story. Worst case scenario if I
don't travel to see him anytime soon. I zoom meet
with this dude every day and I will just ask
him like, would you care to come on my podcast?
So I really want to hear this story. They hyped
it up so much, so I have scouted a story
that will be from the Dominican Republic that I'm super
(02:32):
excited for. But we didn't, unfortunately, have an episode I
think like the last three weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, it's been a while.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
We already have the shoutouts for our patrons for July,
So shout out to Fay, Shandon Dulce and Carl Olav.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Thank you guys to continue for continuing to support us.
Even though we are not in every week podcast anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They're like a bi weekly podcast and it's unfortunate. It's
the fact of life. But realistically, when we can drop
new more episodes, we do and will. So thank you
all for being patient. We do appreciate that. But yeah,
all the supporters on Patreon, even if you're not in
the shout out to here, we're not shouting out by name,
but we still love you to death. It helps us
so much, and anyone who's listening and sharing with their
(03:14):
friends or family new listeners, why'd you start an episode
three fourteen? But either way, we appreciate every single one
of you. We love you. And yeah, Robin's bringing the
fucking thunder.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, I mean on Patreon and this topic, I guess
because I have a bunch of designs that I have
been making this past few weeks, so I'm really excited.
I'm going to be packaging those up soon for the
summer deliveries. And just a reminder, guys, it's just us.
(03:46):
I do everything, I package everything, I write all the notes.
I do everything myself, so.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
She makes me write some of the notes.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, some people get she's.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
The design she's the art printer, she's the merch person.
The only thing I do when it comes to that
side of the business is mail the stuff. I carry
it in a toe bag from our house to the
postal annex and that's about it. And then on the
other side of it, like I'm the production, audio engineer
and all that stuff, the website manager. There's gonna be
(04:19):
a lot to do. So yeah, there's some delays on occasion,
but we do what we can to get you everything.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So everybody who's stuck with us, I mean, it's been
what seven years.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's almost eight now, yoh, November I think is our
eighth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So nice.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But yeah, it's been a wild ride. But what do
you have in store? Force? What have you been up to, Robin?
What's your life been like? I've been in the Dominican
life been like, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I think my life's been simple, boring. I watched the
F one movie twice.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
All I was literally about to say, give us a
five word review of the F one movie having seen
it twice.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Uh, unre realistic but real.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Somehow unrealistic but real somehow.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Somehow fun word Hold on, It's okay, It's just it's
like an unrealistic movie. But there's a lot that they use,
like real footage from F one races. So it's very
very cool, well very fast. Yeah, it's the pace is
great in the movie. Love the pace of the movie.
Love the soundtrack of the movie. That soundtrack is bomb.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You know, we have definitely veered away from short sentence
and are hurtling towards paragraph. But I do agree with you.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, it's it's not like F one accurate because there
are a lot of things that that you cannot do.
There's so many rules in F one it wouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But it's fun.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's fun. It's a very fun movie. If you liked
like a Grand Turismo or something like that, it's better
than Grand Turismo. No offense granted is though I also
love that.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Movie based on true story.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's like Ford vers Ferrari, No F one movie.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
She's using her hands to show you a tear that
you can't see.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, you can't see the tear. F one movie. The
F one movie is is not as good as to
me is amazing for sure, But but the F one
movie is good too. It gives me days of thunder
but better but better.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah for sure. Yeah, anyway, I think it's my five
word review. It's a good popcorn movie.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, good popcorn movie.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Heard of a popcorn movie? No, just buy some popcorn,
watch the movie and have fun. Like yeah, it's it's
Interstellar's not a popcorn a thinking man's picture, you know. Yeah,
but like for popcorn movies comes out in the summer.
It's about action. The plot is for the most part,
fairly straightforward. Not a lot of twists and turns are
gonna fuck with your brain too much. I enjoyed it.
(06:58):
I had a good time. It's two hours and forty
men and so they.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But see, they could have deleted every single romance thing
from that movie and I would have been okay with it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
They could have deleted every single f one reference and
just had it been like three minutes of Roman.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No they. I hate that they had to have the
female character fall with the driver or whatever, you know,
have a one night stand with the driver. It doesn't matter.
It's stupid. I hate it. Romance had nothing to do
with it, and I hate it that they added it in.
Doesn't matter. We're moving on. This isn't about that we're
scaryshou We do scarish topics, and my scarish topic today
(07:34):
has to do with sounds.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Sounds sounds like the brown noise.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's the noise that comes out of your ass.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
No. No, it's the frequency that someone can play, which
is that makes you shit your pants.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Have you ever heard it?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
No? I mean I hear it like every morning. I guess.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh god, Okay, anyway, I know that we both covered
topics that were about sounds like the blue. Yes, this
one's not necessarily like extraterrestrial or about aliens type thing
or mystery creatures completely. This is gonna say, Yeah, this
(08:11):
is just about mystery sounds in general. Okay, okay, So
I think, uh, this is more like a compilation episode
because I think the ones we've done before, the entire
episode was about that sound, right, or maybe the bloop
was like half an episode because we swap topics.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I mean the I mean that's our old format. The
bloop was a full topic when we used to do
two topics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't. I didn't do
like mystery sounds one.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
This is a compilation episode, but really it's two topics.
So it's like our old format.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But I do both, okay, okay, and they're both relatively
shorter than we used to do.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah yeah, okay, soa bah where there's mystery.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
That one's McDonald's I'm loving.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, but you like abbreviated to I recognize that soundence
you hear the fucking piano key, and you're like, welcome
to the black person.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I could have been like that. No, I don't even
remember what show that is. Prices Yeah, okay, you kids
even know what the Price is right is anymore?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, Drew Cary hosted. Now it's not as charming as
it used to be. But it's still pretty good.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Is he still Is Bob Barker still alive? I think so,
No freaking away.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'm pretty sure Bob Barker is still alive.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We're gonna find out after this episode. Like, dude, no,
he's dead, Okay, anyway, I'll.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Check out myself. Damn, Bob Barker did die. Bob Barker
died August twenty six, twenty twenty three, at the ripe
old age of ninety nine years old. Because he is dead, Disco,
that's sad because he.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Was very charming. If you've never seen Prices Right, I
thought he was super duper charming. Host always ended every
episode with like, control the pet population.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Get your pet spade and neuter.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, but Prices Right is great. I love watching that show.
I think it's fun because I always try to guess
the numbers too, and I'm just like I would lose
on this show.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It's a really good documentary that used to be on
Netflix about a guy who studied everything that was on
the Prices Right and figured out the formula for all
the prices.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
My friend want a car on Prices Right?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No shit?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Which friend I used to work with her at Disney.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Okay, that's fucking awesome. Now I want to go to
the prices, right, some of those people are idiots, like
holy shit.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Okay. Anyway, So to me, when it comes to these
types of things where there's mystery, there's conspiracy, there's always
going to be some people that say, like, well it's this,
Well it's.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
That you can't have a mystery without having a source.
Like the brown noise. Sure it makes you shit your pants,
but who's making you do it? Is it the government? Aliens?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Is it the toilet paper industry?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Oh my gosh. Okay, So the first sound that I'm
going to tell you guys about has been described as
cousin to the blue like it's it's related ish, you know,
like that cousin you see every once in a while,
but you don't really know how you're related to.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I just watched all the season four The baron one day,
So as soon as you say cousin too, all I
thought was Richie yelling about Italian beefs.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Which we did watch the entire season so fast. But no,
you don't. Every time you go to a family function,
your mom or to me, my mom's always like, no,
that's your cousin from blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
a different state or a country I've never really been to,
and I don't know how they're related. I've never met
this aunt or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
But to me a lot, I used to go to
a ton of family reunions when I was younger, so
I feel like they exhausted the amount of people they
could just bring and tell me where my cousins. Yeah so,
but yeah, for sure?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Uh so, y'all remember the blue right, Wow, that's an
adom line.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
For sure was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
So it was a sound that was detected by the
US now National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NAA in
nineteen ninety seven. If you want to know more about it,
you guys can go back and listen to Adam covering
it in episode forty eight. That's like when we first
started long time, a long time ago. Audio quality is
(12:18):
completely different.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Of I'm pretty sure I include the sound of the bloop.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But I would love you to include the sound of
this one.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
If you can send it to me, I'd be more
than happy to do so.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Uh So, yes, so, back in the day is crazy
to listen back to, because I feel like we don't
have the comfortability or comfortability. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Who makes up words like that.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
All the time, buffaloes where we're not as comfortable in
talking and making the content and doing the thing.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I'm less comfortable now what I was like super in
my own ba.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I feel like now I'm more like, this is my topic,
this is how I talk. I literally talk like this
in real life. So it's it's I'm more comfortable now now,
I think because I don't have to feel like I
have to put on a show pretend to be somebody else.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You're putting on a show and pretending to be someone else.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Before, No, I just you had to. I don't know.
I didn't want to sound stupid, And now I'm like,
if I sound fucking stupid, fuck you you know, Okay,
yeah you're more confident. Yeah do it, lady.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I hate you. I hate those fucking videos just because
you quote them all the time. These okay, stop the
reels with the guy named Chit with the really bad bullcut.
They're hilarious one thousand percent. I think they're very funny.
Eventually they're gonna get their own TV show. But like
Robin like just watches them endlessly. I'm waiting for her
to come home one day with the chit haircut because
(13:41):
she keeps.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Being like, do it, lady, do it lady on your birthday.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It's just I was just joking. By the way, I
feel totally comfortable now. Still, I felt very comfortable when
we started the show. I feel comfortable now. I think
it's because our audience hasn't. Our audience really seemed to
adopt like us as the host of the show and
the content, and so I've always felt this is way
off topic.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We're supposed to be talking about this sound. Well, these
are the sounds that come out of our mouths, and
I think you make less sounds out of your mouth,
like you don't say um or you know, verbal pauses like.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You used to. Oh no, I'm still just as bad,
you think, so I know, so I added the episode.
Oh they're terrible. They happen constantly.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I try my best not to. I make an effort.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I might not say as much as I used to,
but I'm pretty sure I say like as many times,
if not more. Really now interesting, I was very diligent
about it for one period of time during the show,
and I cannot say that's still the case.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I uh, you know, took a toast Master's class in college.
I don't know if you've ever taken toast Masters or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I took, guess during the time I was at TESLA.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
It teaches you how to speak like public speak, and
they count every single verbal pause that you make, and
by the end of any speech that you make, it's
like up to one hundred something. It is crazy how
many verbal pauses all of us do in our everyday life.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
In college, I had Advanced Presentational Speaking, and any like
or um or any other use of a verbal pause
was one percent off your grade.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, it was rough, but you learn very quickly how
to stop using them. It's just hard because once you
start having a casual conversation, and that's kind of what
our podcast format is. It's not really grandstanding or soapboxing.
It's me and you just bullshitting Yeah. All of a
sudden ms and likes and they start making their way
back in, and then when you hear it going out,
(15:37):
especially when you're editing the episode, you just have this
feeling where you're thinking, like, oh, I sound like a
fucking more on right now.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
H I sound like that all the time. So okay,
anyway back to the actual episode with the sounds that
are mysterious, We're not mysterious. The sounds we make out
of our mouths aren't mysterious, but this one is.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yes, let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Cousin to the blue, not the blue.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, cousin to the bloop, not the bloop. If you
want to look up any episode that we've done in
the past, we usually open up our Spotify, make sure
all the episodes you know, populate, and then control f
so you guys can find it that way, so you're
not like, how do I find this episode? Uh? We
have how many episodes.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Now, three hundred and fourteen?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You don't want to have to scroll through and try
to figure it out, right.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
The vast majority of those are double topics too.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So so yes, that's how we usually do it in
case you were wondering, because we have a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And sometimes topic episodes. Yeah really yeah for stuff like
this where you had like, ah yet anthology. Sure.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Anyway, anyway, we have a really extensive catalog. Definitely recommend
if you're new here, please go on and adventure through that.
Not all I mean, not all of them are like
this where we jump onto new topics every five seconds.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
No one is starting an episode through fourteen, I'm telling you, man.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Anyway, the Bloop. The Bloop was recorded on multiple sensors
a range of over three hundred miles or five hundred kilometers,
and that's a long distance for a sound to travel.
I can't even hear you in a different room half
the time.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's not true. You can't hear me in the same
room three quarters of the time. The other quarter of
the time, I mumble something mean under my breath from
ten thousand yards away and you're like, what the fuck
was that?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What did you say? That's true. So this sound is
pretty similar to that, and that it was recorded by
the NOAA. But this one was recorded on March first,
nineteen ninety nine, so this is two years after the
Blue Wow, which is probably why people were like, it's
really similar. It's really close timeframe to it. So when
(17:44):
this one was first recorded, people dubbed it Julia. That's
what they named this sound. Gross, a much more human
and dainty name for a mystery sound. And Adam says,
gross because one of our friends is named Julia. Okay,
we love her. He's being a dickhead.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Anyway, Sure we do.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh, Jewels is gonna be like, what the fuck bro anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Jewels does not listen to the you don't know that. Okay,
if Jewels confronts me on this, I'll give her a dollar.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, No, you gotta get her a little.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Boo boo no, one, no and two fuck no.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So when this sound was reported to have been heard
over three thousand miles, it peaked the public's interest, which,
you know, a lot of things peaked the public's interest
these days. So I'm not you know, I don't know
how it was in nineteen ninety nine, but.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean, yeah, a mystery sound heard three thousand miles
away is definitely gonna be something that people are interested in,
regardless of whether or not it was over a quarter
of a century ago.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Were people really into aliens in nineteen ninety nine?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Act like you didn't live on this planet?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, but I was like a baby.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
You were. I was a child, you were ten. Sightings
was a fucking thing. Everyone's been obsessed with UFOs since.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Like Roswell, when the X Files theme song would come on,
I would run into a different room. It scared me
so much that and Tales from the Crypt.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I loved Tales from the Crypt theme song.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It scared me the There was a Disney sing a
long video that had a Haunted Mansion song on it.
Anytime I heard the beginning of the song, like the
gates creaked open, everything horrified, horrified.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So these are all your mystery sounds.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Anyway, due to the similarities between Julia and the Bloop,
it was thought that they were related in some way.
Differentiating it, however, leading to those to name it Julia
was the nature of the sound, like the Bloop is
just like it sounds like a bloop, like a long
elongated bubble, you know. But Julia, it sounds like the
(19:51):
voice of a woman. It is very weird, weird. It's like, uh,
not someone singing. It's it's very melodic like that though.
It's a very feminine sound. When you hear it, you'll
be like, oh, yeah, I can kind of kind of
see it. Maybe it's a stretch, but I can kind
of see it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
All right, We're gonna pause right now so I can
listen to the sound. You know what it sounds like.
It sounds like when you're in a pool underwater and
like you're looking at someone and they try and talk
to it in the water.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And like rah rah rah.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It' sound like a merlock a little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
The sound that Adam did listen to.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Was will have played it in this gap?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah? Yeah, was sped up sixteen times.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, so what you guys just heard is the same recording.
It's the recording, but time sixteen. Yeah, is what the
Noah website says.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yes, so there are no obviously no discernible words that
you can hear or anything, but it's like a pitch.
The pitch of the sound. It kind of gives off
the feminine vibe. And that video or that that sound
we watched like a video clip was like ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So people were like, I heard it for two minutes,
So I don't know if you slow it down sixteen
times to look for that if it's two minutes, uh no.
So many believe that this sound is some mystery deep
sea creature because it was in the ocean where he goes.
Everyone's yes, everyone's like it's Cuthulhu or it's something you know,
(21:26):
like like the we did the Ragnarok episode. Maybe it's
that snaky snack the midguard serpent.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, it kind of sounds like off art, like you
squeeze one out underwater. It's like, but it's.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Underwater that I feel like if you are squeezing out
a fart underwater and you're like eking it out, it
sounds more like the creaking of a ship.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Okay, I mean I feel like those two sounds are
very similar.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Really, Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Underwater fart, creaking of a ship in Julia all in
the same category. Audibly all right.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It's said that only five percent of the ocean's really
been explored, so who knows. But because of this, human
curiosity is to be expected. People want to know, right
what caused this sound, what it could be. Some people
say it's like an animal because they sped it up
and that's what it sounds like. But I don't know
how that works. I'm not an audio engineer or anything
(22:22):
like that that researches these things, right, So people created
a story that there was an image that was shot
by NASA's Apollo thirty three, a five satellite, that showed
what looked like a large shadowy figure. But I found
nothing to back this claim up. If it were true,
it'd be really cool, But It was supposedly two times
(22:46):
the size of the Empire State Building this shadow that
this satellite requires.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I feel like that still wouldn't even be large enough
to be heard from three thousand miles away.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Comparir State Building is huge and twice as long. Yeah,
that's still huge, But like blue whales are fucking huge,
and you're not hearing those fucking things from three imagine.
Obviously they're not the size of like two Emperor State buildings,
but still.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Imagine if Godzilla right did his radioactive blast underwater, what
do you think that would sound like? Do you think
it would go three thousand miles?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Maybe? I don't know. Godzilla's not real.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So neither is clu.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Hard for me to speculate.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It was supposedly visible at the time that the sound
was recorded, and they couldn't pin down the exact location
of the origin of this sound, so what they thought
it was was off the cape of a dare in Antarctica.
That's what they assume is the origin. Are ye no
definitive proof that anything like that happened or any photo existed.
(23:50):
People like to make stories nothing. I don't even think
that Apollo mission is real like, I don't think it's
real at all. There's no record of it existing.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Is it a mission or is it a satellite?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
A satellite? Okay, you're gonna look it up.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Later, and I just yeah, if it's not real, then
there's not gonna be anything.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, yeah, there's not gonna I don't think it's real
at all.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
It's just such a very specific thing for the Internet
to be. Like NASA's Apollo thirty three forty two fifty
six satellite took this picture. It's like, where the fuck
did you even get those numbers from?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I don't know. Again, no definitive proof anything like that happened.
People wanted to believe it's real, but it was at
a time where photoshop and AI didn't exist like it
does now. So if somebody posted something on the internet
it you're more inclined to believe that it's real.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Right, do you remember all the fake shit that used
to come out right when email started and like clearly
the worst attempts at like doctoring a photo, and people
believe that shit because people are morons.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I used to get scared of those emails that were like,
if you don't share this with X amount of people,
I'm going to and kill you in your sleep.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I never saw stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Really, Oh man, No, MySpace was riddled with that shit.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah. I remember when email was the only thing, like
MySpace didn't exist. And I remember someone at work showing
me a picture of like the super long story about
like this woman who bought a sweater from overseas and
she didn't wash it when she first got it, blah
blah blah blah blah, and it's just a picture of
a tit with someone who used MS paint basically to
like make like eight holes, like eight dark circles that
(25:29):
were supposed to be holes that were dug into her
by like larva, And it had like large bob and
it was the worst thing ever. And I swear to God,
like eighty percent of our office was like that's real.
I was like, that is the fakest shit I've ever seen.
Like it has like three different colors, like they just
used white, gray, and black, like they didn't even try
(25:49):
and like blend it at all. But people were convinced.
So the fact that people fall for stuff nowadays still
some people that back in the day thought like, oh,
there's a giant sea creature that there's a picture of
it's not chocking.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah. According to the n o a A website n
o A dot gov, that's the official government website. By
the way, in case there are those that aren't familiar
with how our websites are named. If it ends in goov,
it's an official government website. So on their website they
report that the sound was an iceberg that had grounded
(26:23):
on the seafloor off the coast of Antarctica. And I
think it's really important to note that that page says
the most likely source, quote unquote, the most likely source
because they don't know the government. The official government website,
(26:43):
the page for this sound specifically says the most likely
source because they don't know it's confirmed. It also has
a spectrogram on that page. It's like a picture that
goes along with it, and it's a way to display
the time versus frequency of the sound, and it's how
(27:06):
they usually determine what a sound is. So like animals
and earthquakes, they each have their own unique spectrogram, and
a spectrogram for Julia is very odd. It's not like consistent,
like if you look at other spectrograms for different sounds,
this one has like weird spikes, like weird. It just
the angle, the graph looking photo, it's very strange. Will
(27:29):
have Adam post it later. But yeah, so it's to me,
I think it's weird. People really wanted to believe some
demon like creature was down there, some love Craftian thing
that mimicked humans and was making this sound some thought
secret military exercises. Maybe it's a siren deep down in
(27:52):
the ocean or something like that, you know. But even
if it's not real and it's just a glacier, it
had a lot of people wanting it to be.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I mean, I think that's the thing X file is
really nailed, is the I want to believe. I want
to believe because regardless of what something could be, so
many folks wanted so badly to be something very interesting, yeah,
or creepy, or you know, a giant cryptid or kaijuw
because it would just be fun. It's way more fun
(28:21):
than an iceberg like grounding onto the bottom of the seafloor.
So yeah, it is understandable, but it is so common,
I feel like in stuff like this where people just
really want it to be something like mysterious.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, but yeah, that's Julia, Okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
The cousin to the blue, the cousin to the bloop. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
All right. So the next topic is less mysterious with
conspiracy and not really paranormal or mystical creature. It's just
old school historical mystery. Okay, Okay, So it's called the
Colossi of Memno. There are a set of two huge
(29:02):
stone statues of the pharaoh Amenhotep the third from the
fourteenth century BCE.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Sons Emotep I, like where we're going on this one.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
So it stands in front of the ruined mortuary temple
of Amenhotep the third near lux Or, Egypt, and these
statues they're guarding what was the largest temple in the
Theban Necropolis, which is like the ritual burial grounds of
the pharaohs.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Okay, it's kind of Egypt, so fucking weird. Cool, they
really were.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Egypt is very weird.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
The fact that so many people spend time thinking about
the Roman Empire and not as much time thinking about
the Egyptians. It's fucking tragic.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I honestly think way more about Egypt than I do
the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It was like, oh, my god, an aqueduct that was
built correctly Okay, cool. What about the fucking Pyramids, man?
Like that shits?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
The Pyramids are cool and underneath the I mean the
pyramids weren't just the things on top, underground, they built
entire Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Booby tramps and shit, like they knew people were going
to go in there, and they're like, yeah, let's make
this a horror show.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, love it. So Alexander the Great came into power
in three point thirty two BCE.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
He took over a lot of land. Don't know if
you guys have been taught anything about Alexander the Great.
He took over a lot of shit and.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Taught a lot. Then they say when he reached an
ocean and realized he had no land left to conquer,
he cried.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
What I've never heard that.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
He just kept going until they got to an ocean
and he just wept because he's just like, what the
fuck else do I do? Now?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Oh, that's so sad. But also he's kind of an asshole.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
He was also in love with the dude, and when
he died, like he basically he had this ridiculous amount
of mourning things he did like over the top things,
and historians were the longest. Historians for the longest time
were like, oh, this was his friend. No, people were
back in the day. Is after realizing all this shit,
(31:04):
they still couldn't believe the fact that people from the
past were okay with the homosexual relationship. It's like it's
fucking wild. Like there's a bunch of reels that I've
seen where they go over like all these different things
from Alexander the Greats past and like all these like
major things he did, and they still can't admit the
fact that he was like either bisexual or okay. It's
just so entertaining to me.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Sorry, Wow, that's so sad. Imagine history after you die
is like the O they're friends. It's like the and
it's the love of your life.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Like the Iliad is the story from Homer that precedes
the Odyssey, right, and the Iliod became the movie Troy.
You know, Achilles loses his mind because in the movie Troy,
his cousin is killed wearing his armor by mistake, Like
they think it's Achilles, they go after him, they kill him.
I'm really abbreviating this. And then after that Achilles is like, Okay, cool,
(31:56):
now I'm rejoining the war. And I'm gonna fucking kill everyone.
It wasn't his cousin. That was his lover. In the
fucking iLiads, which was written by Homer, that was his lover.
And they're just like two gay Sorry audiences nowadays aren't
gonna be okay with that.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Really? Oh man, sad guys, just let him be uugh.
Gives me the ick. That's so crazy that people change
history like that. I hate it. Ew. So, Alexander the
Great takes over a lot of stuff, including Egypt. So
(32:30):
the Greeks and the Romans start to visit Egypt, and
that's why it's called the Colossie of Memnon, a hero
during the time of the Trojan War, and he led
soldiers to Troy and was slain by Achilles.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, I mean you're talking about Alexander the Great. Of
course it's gonna go full circle, right, But it said
it was named as such because of Memnon's mother, Eos,
and when he was killed, she was singing and crying,
mourning for her son. And the legend is that her
(33:10):
weeping is what forms the morning do, which is you know,
history is so poetic, it's so cool. You'll hear why
that's important in a second. So these statues are made
of blocks of quartzite sandstone and measure about twenty meters
or sixty five zero point six two feet tall, very tall,
(33:31):
sixty two feet that's like six stories. Yeah. I always
just do ten and have inscriptions in Greek and Latin
on them, dated between twenty a d And two hundred
and fifty e D. Because visitors, these these Greek and
Roman visitors would carve inscriptions into these statues. I find
that rude. But maybe it was a culture thing back then,
(33:53):
or maybe we as a human race have always just
fucked up tourist to try as because we're dickheads from
the beginning of time. You know, I don't know. But
these things are ancient, and I'll have Adam post a
picture of these two. They are posed in a sitting
position with their hands on their knees, facing the nile.
(34:16):
And what's so sad is that because it was by
the nile, whenever the nile flooded, it would destroy their
tomb and so eventually like they had to relocate all
the stones and stuff and move it, but the statues stayed.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, so these statues are a shadow of what they
must have been when they were first erected, because they
have gone through so much, so much weathering, A lot's
been chipped away. They've understandably gone through quite a lot
of history, you know, and being on the edge of
(34:53):
the floodplains, floods ate away at their foundations. It's just
rough looking at these, but I mean they still look
really cool, huge, and you can see like what they
could have been before. But it's it's sad seeing what
they look like now. I'd still want to see it
one day. Maybe VR not actually go to Egypt.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Really, you know. I just popped down there for a
day check some stuff out.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Isn't that like a fucking burger king right next to
the Great Pyramids?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah? There is, or like it's a pizza hutter. It's
definitely a very like Yeah, it's like step out of
the fast food place and you literally see the Pyramids
right there. I don't know. I'm kind of scared of
the idea of going to Egypt because I don't speak
Egyptian or anything.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I am with every country we visit. So I just
went to the Dominican Republic, where I don't speak Spanish
and people see me and immediately think I speak Spanish
and spoke to me in it. Really, Oh, most people
that weren't like my coworkers, you know, I don't speak Spanish.
Everything that said to me, everything they said to me,
was in Spanish.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Did you just look at them and go, okay.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I I don't speak, I don't speak and they look
alled fucking disappointed.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Anyways, anyway, okay, So if you're wondering when the sound
part comes into this one, it said that a large
earthquake in twenty seven BCE shattered the Northern Colossus and
collapsed it from the waist up, so the waste up
section gone and the bottom half cracked. And after this
(36:26):
it was said that the statue would sing on various occasions.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
That's fucking weird.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So within an hour or two of sunrise or like write,
at dawn, usually during the months of February or March,
it would quote unquote sing and some described it as
a blowing sound, while others described it like the string
of a lyre breaking, which is so specific, or the
striking of brass or whistling, and some related it to
(36:54):
the sound of eo sweeping. That's what they thought it was,
so they would they thought that that it was the
sound of her crying. It's at dawn, so everything's covered
in dew, you know, and so they thought it was related. Interesting, right,
I think history and lore and things like that, all
(37:14):
those old Greek god stories, I love those.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
They're fascinating.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
They're fascinating because they all have to come from something. Anyway.
It became the legend of the vocal memnon and if
you heard it, it was said to bring you luck.
So if you if you heard it, it was like
people went because they wanted to hear it, because.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
You you would be They want.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Yeah, they want to they want to believe. That's the
theme of this episode.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I want to be blessed.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
And people even looked at this, these statues like this,
this this singing whistling statue as some type of oracle,
like they wanted to be blessed by this thing, and
many came to visit, including Roman emperors. The last recorded
reliable mention of the sound dates one ninety six.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Okay, so long long time ago, A.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Long long time ago. You know, what is it now?
Twenty twenty six, twenty twenty five minus one ninety six.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
I'm not doing that. It's too much matter for eighteen
hundred years.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Don't ask me. I'm not good at math. So the
top half you see now is not the original, the
original half that collapsed. Those parts were never found. It's
thought that the reconstruction was around one ninety nine. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
(38:44):
it's like our era where we're counting twenty twenty five
post Jesus anno domini post dominie. What do you say?
Speaker 2 (38:55):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
It sounded weird. Okay. So this is from the Roman
emperor Septimius Severus, not related, not related.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
This is a time travel. He went back and was like, fuck,
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
What Severus night?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
That's fine? Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Anyway, So this emperor was attempting to curry favor with
the what they believed to be this oracle. Okay, so
he was like, if I rebuild it, it'll wash me
with luck or bathe me in luck. Whatever. And he
wanted to hear this sound when he visited, but when
(39:35):
he visited, he didn't get to hear anything, so it.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Wasn't bathed in luck. It did not pour some sugar
on him.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
He didn't pour some sugar on him, And maybe that's
why the Romans no longer rule everything, so it's not
really known why the sound was heard. People couldn't determine
if it was from the pedestal or the upper area
of the statue that had broken off, because maybe, you know,
they couldn't find the original pieces of that statue the
top half. Maybe that's what was making the sounds. And
(40:05):
then it disappeared and people never heard of the sound again.
You know. It is reported though that though rare, other
Egyptian monuments were known to create sounds of their own. Okay,
so it's thought that the more humans interfered and interacted
and built on top of things, like when they kept
(40:26):
adding layers and layers of stuff, sounds stopped. So people
don't know if it was like the material they used
to build all this stuff, and because they were you know,
the way they put things together, it made the sound.
They say that maybe it was the temperature at dawn
together with the DO that would layer over everything and
(40:49):
it would lay inside the crack of the bottom half,
you know, and as that do evaporated, it made that
whistling sound. I'm not a scientist. I don't know how
that works. How does evaporation stuff make it, but maybe
it's like you know how houses creek. Yeah, when it's
(41:11):
hot or cold or whatever. Yeah, you're stupid, But it'd
be really cool if it was something supernatural, if it
was like spiritual or something, and that's what made the sound.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
What is interesting is that, regardless of what it was,
it sounds like it lasted for around four hundred years,
four or five hundred years, right, twenty two BC to
like two hundred eighty roughly, and whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Well, no, so it cracked in twenty seventy C.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
I'm sorry, sorry, so two hundred years, just over two
hundred years. This sound could be heard from the statue
if you were like lucky enough to hear it. Yeah,
but it even if it was something completely explainable, you know,
like the acoustics of whatever was used to make the
statue settling after it was cracked, whatever the case may be,
that's still super fucking fascinating.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
It is fat I think that's really fascinat And that's
the I think part of the luck thing, because imagine
how perfect everything needed to be to make it happen.
Because it's something in nature, right, the sound was supposedly
naturally occurring, based on the do temperature whatever. It had
(42:19):
to be the perfect temperature, the right around, the right
amount of moisture. It just everything had to be perfect.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
All the conditions had to line up perfectly for you
to be lucky enough to hear it.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Hearing. Yeah, I mean, now these days, we can make
a train station that if you stand on one end
and then stand on the other end, you can hear
each other perfectly, like you're next to each other.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
But I know a lot more about acoustics nowadays. I
mean I shouldn't even say that, Like there are amphitheaters
that were super impressive back in the.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Day, too, very true.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
Yeah, I mean, we don't know what's going on specifically
with this statue, but it's pretty fucking dope.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I think it's cool. And you know, the it was
a tourist attraction back then, and it's still a tourist
attraction now, so I think that's really cool. I don't
know it's it's not so much it's a mysterious creature,
super mystery sound type thing. But I want to know
what made it and why it stopped.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
You want to I want to believe it is curious.
I wonder what theories that they have like locally. Yeah, yeah,
and I think it'd be fun to travel there. I
understand like your hesitancy, especially since a lot of the
stuff that I've like read or watched about when it
comes to like hostage situations back into this, especially in
the nineteen hundreds, which sound like so far away, for
(43:33):
like planes being hijacked, like that one topic I covered
where like they like were leaving Egypt, I think, to
go to I can't even remember where, but it was
like the Egyptian like special forces were involved, and like
those all the stuff that was happening over there at
the time. You just never know, like you could be
the unlucky person who travels to Egypt to like hear
this song and instead of playing its hide jacks. Yeah, yeah,
like that, because it always seems like travel to there
(43:55):
or from there in the era that that shit used
to kick off always involved that. I know, it's so
much further in the past at this point, that's like
fifty sixty years ago. Yeah, but because I've seen so
many recently and I remember covering that topic, I'm just like, yeah,
a little bit hesitant. I would love to go to Egypt, though,
I think it'd be super dope to stop there for
like a day or two.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
You know who used to go to Egypt? No, Bill
Weasley to study the dragons. I hate you, so I'm sorry,
but the guy. The guy's name was fucking.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Severus, Septimus, Severus, Septimius, Timmius Severus. Okay, I'm sure that's where. No,
I'm not even to speculate where jk Rowling out her
name from. I'm pretty sure she has had a bunch
of random shit in the dartboard. My friend once tweeted
there someone was talking about her at the time. Twitter
was talking about like the names and how lame they
were and like how racist cho chang of a name
(44:42):
would be. Yeah, and my friend tweeted, like she literally
named the wherewill Reemus Lupin? That's like name wolf wolf? Yeah,
just like, holy fuck, he's right. AnyWho, good topic grama.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
I Yeah, sorry, I could go down a Harry Potter
hole all day.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
But interesting, I just level.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
I don't know. I don't care for jk Rowling whatsoever.
I think she's pretentious and a horrible person. But I
grew up on Harry Potter and it's a nostalgia thing,
you know.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
I aside from all the stuff that is super CONTROVERSI
about JK rowing. She just does not know when to
leave well enough alone.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah, sometimes you just got to learn to wizards on.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
The floor and magic it away, like what the fuck
is wrong with you? Sometimes it Jesus.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Sometimes it be like that.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
Anyway, thank you guys. If you've made it this far,
hopefully you enjoyed it. I am I love history. I
used to grow up watching the History Channel.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
So I still watched the Street.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
I still watch the History Channel. I was just watching
a documentary while you know, Adam was playing Wow earlier, so.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
I still play Wow.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Sometimes it'd be like that. Okay, but thank you guys
so much. Thank you for listening to us. Hopefully it
wasn't too off putting. I know we went off topic
like fifty times and that's literally our brains. Uh So
if you're down for that, thank you. Thank you for
joining us. Hopefully you stick around. Yeah, and yeah, why
(46:07):
don't you.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
I just want to give a shout out. We had
like three people reach out in the last couple of
weeks asking me to cover Lake Landier and it's funny,
so I'm like, there must be something in popular culture
where Lake Lannier has popped up again, like maybe there
was another death down there, and I had to mention
like it was like episode two forty, it's called Lake
of the Dead, uh, because I did cover it, and
so when folks were asking, I was like, it must
not be named Lake Lanninger because they can't find it.
(46:30):
But for anyone who has also stumbled over whatever got
this back in popular culture's eye, we have covered that.
And thank you to everyone who reaches out when they
see something cool and is like I want you guys
to cover it. It's a really nice feeling knowing like
you hear something creepy, something scaryish, and you're like, I
want to hear it come from Adam and Robbin. That is.
I would never be upsetting at all for people suggesting topics,
(46:51):
and it's actually one of the happier things for me
to tell you, like I already did that so that
way you can go back and hear it and you
don't have to wait for me to do my research.
It's like ready and available for you. So it's always coming.
People reach out. So if you have a topic suggestion,
if you've been to Egypt, if you've heard the statue sing.
If you have any stories that you would like to
share with us that aren't related to that at all.
That could be supernatural, spiritual, coincidental, true crime, extraterrestrial, whatever

Speaker 2 (48:02):
By
Hey, they're spooky friends and welcome to another episode of
the Scary Ish Podcast. It's been a while. I'm Robin Gray.
This is ANAMDASO and uh we're the hosts of this
spooky ish, scary ish podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
This true crime slash paranormal slash, supernatural.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Slash Natural, disaster slash.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Extra anything that's scary scary.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I think it's just the idea of what can scare
you really, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So that's the stuff we talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
And one of the things we should cover is like
horrible diseases.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I've done that. We've covered a lot of plagues, so
we covered them before COVID too, And I didn't realize
how controversial it would be to point out that during
the Spanish flu, some people refuse to wear masks, and
I talked about how stupid those people were, and then
I hate mail when COVID hit, when people were like,
you don't take away my freedom cut damn it. I'm
just like, okay, whatever that was in twenty nineteen, I
(01:07):
did that episode, but thanks any who. Fun times. Yeah,
we're back again. July is gonna be a fun month.
We're gonna have multiple episodes. I know. June we only
had one to having one because work had me traveling.
I was down in the Dominican Republic, which was very beautiful.
It was very nice. A lot of folks down there
had stories that they didn't want to really tell. But
(01:30):
one of my operations managers from a different site, he
was not in the same city as I was when
I was there, apparently has some story that is fucking
mind blowing that everyone at the site I was at
were like, you need to talk to Bismarck because Bismarck
has a story that scares the shit out of people
because they travel between sites. There's one in Santiago and
(01:50):
Santo Domingo. And during the drive, they had like four
people in the car and he was driving, and he
told him like his story, like it's like I think
it might be a cryptid story or a ghost or
something along those lines, and they like were yelling at him,
like you need to stop, like you're scaring everyone in
the fucking what sounds like. I cannot wait to see Bismarck.
(02:10):
I had my portable microphone just in case someone had
a story for me, so I will make sure it's
packed and get that story. Worst case scenario if I
don't travel to see him anytime soon. I zoom meet
with this dude every day and I will just ask
him like, would you care to come on my podcast?
So I really want to hear this story. They hyped
it up so much, so I have scouted a story
that will be from the Dominican Republic that I'm super
(02:32):
excited for. But we didn't, unfortunately, have an episode I
think like the last three weeks.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, it's been a while.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
We already have the shoutouts for our patrons for July,
So shout out to Fay, Shandon Dulce and Carl Olav.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Thank you guys to continue for continuing to support us.
Even though we are not in every week podcast anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They're like a bi weekly podcast and it's unfortunate. It's
the fact of life. But realistically, when we can drop
new more episodes, we do and will. So thank you
all for being patient. We do appreciate that. But yeah,
all the supporters on Patreon, even if you're not in
the shout out to here, we're not shouting out by name,
but we still love you to death. It helps us
so much, and anyone who's listening and sharing with their
(03:14):
friends or family new listeners, why'd you start an episode
three fourteen? But either way, we appreciate every single one
of you. We love you. And yeah, Robin's bringing the
fucking thunder.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, I mean on Patreon and this topic, I guess
because I have a bunch of designs that I have
been making this past few weeks, so I'm really excited.
I'm going to be packaging those up soon for the
summer deliveries. And just a reminder, guys, it's just us.
(03:46):
I do everything, I package everything, I write all the notes.
I do everything myself, so.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
She makes me write some of the notes.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, some people get she's.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
The design she's the art printer, she's the merch person.
The only thing I do when it comes to that
side of the business is mail the stuff. I carry
it in a toe bag from our house to the
postal annex and that's about it. And then on the
other side of it, like I'm the production, audio engineer
and all that stuff, the website manager. There's gonna be
(04:19):
a lot to do. So yeah, there's some delays on occasion,
but we do what we can to get you everything.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So everybody who's stuck with us, I mean, it's been
what seven years.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It's almost eight now, yoh, November I think is our
eighth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So nice.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But yeah, it's been a wild ride. But what do
you have in store? Force? What have you been up to, Robin?
What's your life been like? I've been in the Dominican
life been like, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I think my life's been simple, boring. I watched the
F one movie twice.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
All I was literally about to say, give us a
five word review of the F one movie having seen
it twice.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Uh, unre realistic but real.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Somehow unrealistic but real somehow.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Somehow fun word Hold on, It's okay, It's just it's
like an unrealistic movie. But there's a lot that they use,
like real footage from F one races. So it's very
very cool, well very fast. Yeah, it's the pace is
great in the movie. Love the pace of the movie.
Love the soundtrack of the movie. That soundtrack is bomb.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You know, we have definitely veered away from short sentence
and are hurtling towards paragraph. But I do agree with you.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, it's it's not like F one accurate because there
are a lot of things that that you cannot do.
There's so many rules in F one it wouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But it's fun.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's fun. It's a very fun movie. If you liked
like a Grand Turismo or something like that, it's better
than Grand Turismo. No offense granted is though I also
love that.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Movie based on true story.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's like Ford vers Ferrari, No F one movie.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
She's using her hands to show you a tear that
you can't see.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, you can't see the tear. F one movie. The
F one movie is is not as good as to
me is amazing for sure, But but the F one
movie is good too. It gives me days of thunder
but better but better.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah for sure. Yeah, anyway, I think it's my five
word review. It's a good popcorn movie.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, good popcorn movie.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Heard of a popcorn movie? No, just buy some popcorn,
watch the movie and have fun. Like yeah, it's it's
Interstellar's not a popcorn a thinking man's picture, you know. Yeah,
but like for popcorn movies comes out in the summer.
It's about action. The plot is for the most part,
fairly straightforward. Not a lot of twists and turns are
gonna fuck with your brain too much. I enjoyed it.
(06:58):
I had a good time. It's two hours and forty
men and so they.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But see, they could have deleted every single romance thing
from that movie and I would have been okay with it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
They could have deleted every single f one reference and
just had it been like three minutes of Roman.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No they. I hate that they had to have the
female character fall with the driver or whatever, you know,
have a one night stand with the driver. It doesn't matter.
It's stupid. I hate it. Romance had nothing to do
with it, and I hate it that they added it in.
Doesn't matter. We're moving on. This isn't about that we're
scaryshou We do scarish topics, and my scarish topic today
(07:34):
has to do with sounds.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Sounds sounds like the brown noise.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's the noise that comes out of your ass.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
No. No, it's the frequency that someone can play, which
is that makes you shit your pants.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Have you ever heard it?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
No? I mean I hear it like every morning. I guess.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh god, Okay, anyway, I know that we both covered
topics that were about sounds like the blue. Yes, this
one's not necessarily like extraterrestrial or about aliens type thing
or mystery creatures completely. This is gonna say, Yeah, this
(08:11):
is just about mystery sounds in general. Okay, okay, So
I think, uh, this is more like a compilation episode
because I think the ones we've done before, the entire
episode was about that sound, right, or maybe the bloop
was like half an episode because we swap topics.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I mean the I mean that's our old format. The
bloop was a full topic when we used to do
two topics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't. I didn't do
like mystery sounds one.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
This is a compilation episode, but really it's two topics.
So it's like our old format.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But I do both, okay, okay, and they're both relatively
shorter than we used to do.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah yeah, okay, soa bah where there's mystery.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
That one's McDonald's I'm loving.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, but you like abbreviated to I recognize that soundence
you hear the fucking piano key, and you're like, welcome
to the black person.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I could have been like that. No, I don't even
remember what show that is. Prices Yeah, okay, you kids
even know what the Price is right is anymore?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, Drew Cary hosted. Now it's not as charming as
it used to be. But it's still pretty good.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Is he still Is Bob Barker still alive? I think so,
No freaking away.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'm pretty sure Bob Barker is still alive.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We're gonna find out after this episode. Like, dude, no,
he's dead, Okay, anyway, I'll.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Check out myself. Damn, Bob Barker did die. Bob Barker
died August twenty six, twenty twenty three, at the ripe
old age of ninety nine years old. Because he is dead, Disco,
that's sad because he.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Was very charming. If you've never seen Prices Right, I
thought he was super duper charming. Host always ended every
episode with like, control the pet population.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Get your pet spade and neuter.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, but Prices Right is great. I love watching that show.
I think it's fun because I always try to guess
the numbers too, and I'm just like I would lose
on this show.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It's a really good documentary that used to be on
Netflix about a guy who studied everything that was on
the Prices Right and figured out the formula for all
the prices.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
My friend want a car on Prices Right?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No shit?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Which friend I used to work with her at Disney.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Okay, that's fucking awesome. Now I want to go to
the prices, right, some of those people are idiots, like
holy shit.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Okay. Anyway, So to me, when it comes to these
types of things where there's mystery, there's conspiracy, there's always
going to be some people that say, like, well it's this,
Well it's.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
That you can't have a mystery without having a source.
Like the brown noise. Sure it makes you shit your pants,
but who's making you do it? Is it the government? Aliens?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Is it the toilet paper industry?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Oh my gosh. Okay, So the first sound that I'm
going to tell you guys about has been described as
cousin to the blue like it's it's related ish, you know,
like that cousin you see every once in a while,
but you don't really know how you're related to.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I just watched all the season four The baron one day,
So as soon as you say cousin too, all I
thought was Richie yelling about Italian beefs.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Which we did watch the entire season so fast. But no,
you don't. Every time you go to a family function,
your mom or to me, my mom's always like, no,
that's your cousin from blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
a different state or a country I've never really been to,
and I don't know how they're related. I've never met
this aunt or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
But to me a lot, I used to go to
a ton of family reunions when I was younger, so
I feel like they exhausted the amount of people they
could just bring and tell me where my cousins. Yeah so,
but yeah, for sure?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Uh so, y'all remember the blue right, Wow, that's an
adom line.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
For sure was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
So it was a sound that was detected by the
US now National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NAA in
nineteen ninety seven. If you want to know more about it,
you guys can go back and listen to Adam covering
it in episode forty eight. That's like when we first
started long time, a long time ago. Audio quality is
(12:18):
completely different.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Of I'm pretty sure I include the sound of the bloop.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But I would love you to include the sound of
this one.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
If you can send it to me, I'd be more
than happy to do so.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Uh So, yes, so, back in the day is crazy
to listen back to, because I feel like we don't
have the comfortability or comfortability. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Who makes up words like that.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
All the time, buffaloes where we're not as comfortable in
talking and making the content and doing the thing.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I'm less comfortable now what I was like super in
my own ba.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I feel like now I'm more like, this is my topic,
this is how I talk. I literally talk like this
in real life. So it's it's I'm more comfortable now now,
I think because I don't have to feel like I
have to put on a show pretend to be somebody else.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You're putting on a show and pretending to be someone else.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Before, No, I just you had to. I don't know.
I didn't want to sound stupid, And now I'm like,
if I sound fucking stupid, fuck you you know, Okay,
yeah you're more confident. Yeah do it, lady.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I hate you. I hate those fucking videos just because
you quote them all the time. These okay, stop the
reels with the guy named Chit with the really bad bullcut.
They're hilarious one thousand percent. I think they're very funny.
Eventually they're gonna get their own TV show. But like
Robin like just watches them endlessly. I'm waiting for her
to come home one day with the chit haircut because
(13:41):
she keeps.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Being like, do it, lady, do it lady on your birthday.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It's just I was just joking. By the way, I
feel totally comfortable now. Still, I felt very comfortable when
we started the show. I feel comfortable now. I think
it's because our audience hasn't. Our audience really seemed to
adopt like us as the host of the show and
the content, and so I've always felt this is way
off topic.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We're supposed to be talking about this sound. Well, these
are the sounds that come out of our mouths, and
I think you make less sounds out of your mouth,
like you don't say um or you know, verbal pauses like.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
You used to. Oh no, I'm still just as bad,
you think, so I know, so I added the episode.
Oh they're terrible. They happen constantly.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I try my best not to. I make an effort.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I might not say as much as I used to,
but I'm pretty sure I say like as many times,
if not more. Really now interesting, I was very diligent
about it for one period of time during the show,
and I cannot say that's still the case.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I uh, you know, took a toast Master's class in college.
I don't know if you've ever taken toast Masters or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I took, guess during the time I was at TESLA.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
It teaches you how to speak like public speak, and
they count every single verbal pause that you make, and
by the end of any speech that you make, it's
like up to one hundred something. It is crazy how
many verbal pauses all of us do in our everyday life.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
In college, I had Advanced Presentational Speaking, and any like
or um or any other use of a verbal pause
was one percent off your grade.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, it was rough, but you learn very quickly how
to stop using them. It's just hard because once you
start having a casual conversation, and that's kind of what
our podcast format is. It's not really grandstanding or soapboxing.
It's me and you just bullshitting Yeah. All of a
sudden ms and likes and they start making their way
back in, and then when you hear it going out,
(15:37):
especially when you're editing the episode, you just have this
feeling where you're thinking, like, oh, I sound like a
fucking more on right now.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
H I sound like that all the time. So okay,
anyway back to the actual episode with the sounds that
are mysterious, We're not mysterious. The sounds we make out
of our mouths aren't mysterious, but this one is.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yes, let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Cousin to the blue, not the blue.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, cousin to the bloop, not the bloop. If you
want to look up any episode that we've done in
the past, we usually open up our Spotify, make sure
all the episodes you know, populate, and then control f
so you guys can find it that way, so you're
not like, how do I find this episode? Uh? We
have how many episodes.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Now, three hundred and fourteen?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You don't want to have to scroll through and try
to figure it out, right.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
The vast majority of those are double topics too.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So so yes, that's how we usually do it in
case you were wondering, because we have a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And sometimes topic episodes. Yeah really yeah for stuff like
this where you had like, ah yet anthology. Sure.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Anyway, anyway, we have a really extensive catalog. Definitely recommend
if you're new here, please go on and adventure through that.
Not all I mean, not all of them are like
this where we jump onto new topics every five seconds.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
No one is starting an episode through fourteen, I'm telling you, man.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Anyway, the Bloop. The Bloop was recorded on multiple sensors
a range of over three hundred miles or five hundred kilometers,
and that's a long distance for a sound to travel.
I can't even hear you in a different room half
the time.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's not true. You can't hear me in the same
room three quarters of the time. The other quarter of
the time, I mumble something mean under my breath from
ten thousand yards away and you're like, what the fuck
was that?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What did you say? That's true. So this sound is
pretty similar to that, and that it was recorded by
the NOAA. But this one was recorded on March first,
nineteen ninety nine, so this is two years after the
Blue Wow, which is probably why people were like, it's
really similar. It's really close timeframe to it. So when
(17:44):
this one was first recorded, people dubbed it Julia. That's
what they named this sound. Gross, a much more human
and dainty name for a mystery sound. And Adam says,
gross because one of our friends is named Julia. Okay,
we love her. He's being a dickhead.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Anyway, Sure we do.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh, Jewels is gonna be like, what the fuck bro anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Jewels does not listen to the you don't know that. Okay,
if Jewels confronts me on this, I'll give her a dollar.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, No, you gotta get her a little.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Boo boo no, one, no and two fuck no.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So when this sound was reported to have been heard
over three thousand miles, it peaked the public's interest, which,
you know, a lot of things peaked the public's interest
these days. So I'm not you know, I don't know
how it was in nineteen ninety nine, but.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean, yeah, a mystery sound heard three thousand miles
away is definitely gonna be something that people are interested in,
regardless of whether or not it was over a quarter
of a century ago.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Were people really into aliens in nineteen ninety nine?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Act like you didn't live on this planet?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, but I was like a baby.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
You were. I was a child, you were ten. Sightings
was a fucking thing. Everyone's been obsessed with UFOs since.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Like Roswell, when the X Files theme song would come on,
I would run into a different room. It scared me
so much that and Tales from the Crypt.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I loved Tales from the Crypt theme song.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It scared me the There was a Disney sing a
long video that had a Haunted Mansion song on it.
Anytime I heard the beginning of the song, like the
gates creaked open, everything horrified, horrified.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So these are all your mystery sounds.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Anyway, due to the similarities between Julia and the Bloop,
it was thought that they were related in some way.
Differentiating it, however, leading to those to name it Julia
was the nature of the sound, like the Bloop is
just like it sounds like a bloop, like a long
elongated bubble, you know. But Julia, it sounds like the
(19:51):
voice of a woman. It is very weird, weird. It's like, uh,
not someone singing. It's it's very melodic like that though.
It's a very feminine sound. When you hear it, you'll
be like, oh, yeah, I can kind of kind of
see it. Maybe it's a stretch, but I can kind
of see it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
All right, We're gonna pause right now so I can
listen to the sound. You know what it sounds like.
It sounds like when you're in a pool underwater and
like you're looking at someone and they try and talk
to it in the water.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And like rah rah rah.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It' sound like a merlock a little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
The sound that Adam did listen to.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Was will have played it in this gap?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah? Yeah, was sped up sixteen times.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, so what you guys just heard is the same recording.
It's the recording, but time sixteen. Yeah, is what the
Noah website says.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yes, so there are no obviously no discernible words that
you can hear or anything, but it's like a pitch.
The pitch of the sound. It kind of gives off
the feminine vibe. And that video or that that sound
we watched like a video clip was like ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So people were like, I heard it for two minutes,
So I don't know if you slow it down sixteen
times to look for that if it's two minutes, uh no.
So many believe that this sound is some mystery deep
sea creature because it was in the ocean where he goes.
Everyone's yes, everyone's like it's Cuthulhu or it's something you know,
(21:26):
like like the we did the Ragnarok episode. Maybe it's
that snaky snack the midguard serpent.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, it kind of sounds like off art, like you
squeeze one out underwater. It's like, but it's.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Underwater that I feel like if you are squeezing out
a fart underwater and you're like eking it out, it
sounds more like the creaking of a ship.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Okay, I mean I feel like those two sounds are
very similar.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Really, Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Underwater fart, creaking of a ship in Julia all in
the same category. Audibly all right.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It's said that only five percent of the ocean's really
been explored, so who knows. But because of this, human
curiosity is to be expected. People want to know, right
what caused this sound, what it could be. Some people
say it's like an animal because they sped it up
and that's what it sounds like. But I don't know
how that works. I'm not an audio engineer or anything
(22:22):
like that that researches these things, right, So people created
a story that there was an image that was shot
by NASA's Apollo thirty three, a five satellite, that showed
what looked like a large shadowy figure. But I found
nothing to back this claim up. If it were true,
it'd be really cool, But It was supposedly two times
(22:46):
the size of the Empire State Building this shadow that
this satellite requires.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I feel like that still wouldn't even be large enough
to be heard from three thousand miles away.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Comparir State Building is huge and twice as long. Yeah,
that's still huge, But like blue whales are fucking huge,
and you're not hearing those fucking things from three imagine.
Obviously they're not the size of like two Emperor State buildings,
but still.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Imagine if Godzilla right did his radioactive blast underwater, what
do you think that would sound like? Do you think
it would go three thousand miles?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Maybe? I don't know. Godzilla's not real.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
So neither is clu.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Hard for me to speculate.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It was supposedly visible at the time that the sound
was recorded, and they couldn't pin down the exact location
of the origin of this sound, so what they thought
it was was off the cape of a dare in Antarctica.
That's what they assume is the origin. Are ye no
definitive proof that anything like that happened or any photo existed.
(23:50):
People like to make stories nothing. I don't even think
that Apollo mission is real like, I don't think it's
real at all. There's no record of it existing.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Is it a mission or is it a satellite?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
A satellite? Okay, you're gonna look it up.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Later, and I just yeah, if it's not real, then
there's not gonna be anything.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, yeah, there's not gonna I don't think it's real
at all.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
It's just such a very specific thing for the Internet
to be. Like NASA's Apollo thirty three forty two fifty
six satellite took this picture. It's like, where the fuck
did you even get those numbers from?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I don't know. Again, no definitive proof anything like that happened.
People wanted to believe it's real, but it was at
a time where photoshop and AI didn't exist like it
does now. So if somebody posted something on the internet
it you're more inclined to believe that it's real.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Right, do you remember all the fake shit that used
to come out right when email started and like clearly
the worst attempts at like doctoring a photo, and people
believe that shit because people are morons.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I used to get scared of those emails that were like,
if you don't share this with X amount of people,
I'm going to and kill you in your sleep.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I never saw stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Really, Oh man, No, MySpace was riddled with that shit.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah. I remember when email was the only thing, like
MySpace didn't exist. And I remember someone at work showing
me a picture of like the super long story about
like this woman who bought a sweater from overseas and
she didn't wash it when she first got it, blah
blah blah blah blah, and it's just a picture of
a tit with someone who used MS paint basically to
like make like eight holes, like eight dark circles that
(25:29):
were supposed to be holes that were dug into her
by like larva, And it had like large bob and
it was the worst thing ever. And I swear to God,
like eighty percent of our office was like that's real.
I was like, that is the fakest shit I've ever seen.
Like it has like three different colors, like they just
used white, gray, and black, like they didn't even try
(25:49):
and like blend it at all. But people were convinced.
So the fact that people fall for stuff nowadays still
some people that back in the day thought like, oh,
there's a giant sea creature that there's a picture of
it's not chocking.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah. According to the n o a A website n
o A dot gov, that's the official government website. By
the way, in case there are those that aren't familiar
with how our websites are named. If it ends in goov,
it's an official government website. So on their website they
report that the sound was an iceberg that had grounded
(26:23):
on the seafloor off the coast of Antarctica. And I
think it's really important to note that that page says
the most likely source, quote unquote, the most likely source
because they don't know the government. The official government website,
(26:43):
the page for this sound specifically says the most likely
source because they don't know it's confirmed. It also has
a spectrogram on that page. It's like a picture that
goes along with it, and it's a way to display
the time versus frequency of the sound, and it's how
(27:06):
they usually determine what a sound is. So like animals
and earthquakes, they each have their own unique spectrogram, and
a spectrogram for Julia is very odd. It's not like consistent,
like if you look at other spectrograms for different sounds,
this one has like weird spikes, like weird. It just
the angle, the graph looking photo, it's very strange. Will
(27:29):
have Adam post it later. But yeah, so it's to me,
I think it's weird. People really wanted to believe some
demon like creature was down there, some love Craftian thing
that mimicked humans and was making this sound some thought
secret military exercises. Maybe it's a siren deep down in
(27:52):
the ocean or something like that, you know. But even
if it's not real and it's just a glacier, it
had a lot of people wanting it to be.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I mean, I think that's the thing X file is
really nailed, is the I want to believe. I want
to believe because regardless of what something could be, so
many folks wanted so badly to be something very interesting, yeah,
or creepy, or you know, a giant cryptid or kaijuw
because it would just be fun. It's way more fun
(28:21):
than an iceberg like grounding onto the bottom of the seafloor.
So yeah, it is understandable, but it is so common,
I feel like in stuff like this where people just
really want it to be something like mysterious.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, but yeah, that's Julia, Okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
The cousin to the blue, the cousin to the bloop. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
All right. So the next topic is less mysterious with
conspiracy and not really paranormal or mystical creature. It's just
old school historical mystery. Okay, Okay, So it's called the
Colossi of Memno. There are a set of two huge
(29:02):
stone statues of the pharaoh Amenhotep the third from the
fourteenth century BCE.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Sons Emotep I, like where we're going on this one.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
So it stands in front of the ruined mortuary temple
of Amenhotep the third near lux Or, Egypt, and these
statues they're guarding what was the largest temple in the
Theban Necropolis, which is like the ritual burial grounds of
the pharaohs.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Okay, it's kind of Egypt, so fucking weird. Cool, they
really were.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Egypt is very weird.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
The fact that so many people spend time thinking about
the Roman Empire and not as much time thinking about
the Egyptians. It's fucking tragic.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I honestly think way more about Egypt than I do
the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It was like, oh, my god, an aqueduct that was
built correctly Okay, cool. What about the fucking Pyramids, man?
Like that shits?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
The Pyramids are cool and underneath the I mean the
pyramids weren't just the things on top, underground, they built
entire Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Booby tramps and shit, like they knew people were going
to go in there, and they're like, yeah, let's make
this a horror show.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, love it. So Alexander the Great came into power
in three point thirty two BCE.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
He took over a lot of land. Don't know if
you guys have been taught anything about Alexander the Great.
He took over a lot of shit and.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Taught a lot. Then they say when he reached an
ocean and realized he had no land left to conquer,
he cried.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
What I've never heard that.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
He just kept going until they got to an ocean
and he just wept because he's just like, what the
fuck else do I do? Now?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Oh, that's so sad. But also he's kind of an asshole.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
He was also in love with the dude, and when
he died, like he basically he had this ridiculous amount
of mourning things he did like over the top things,
and historians were the longest. Historians for the longest time
were like, oh, this was his friend. No, people were
back in the day. Is after realizing all this shit,
(31:04):
they still couldn't believe the fact that people from the
past were okay with the homosexual relationship. It's like it's
fucking wild. Like there's a bunch of reels that I've
seen where they go over like all these different things
from Alexander the Greats past and like all these like
major things he did, and they still can't admit the
fact that he was like either bisexual or okay. It's
just so entertaining to me.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Sorry, Wow, that's so sad. Imagine history after you die
is like the O they're friends. It's like the and
it's the love of your life.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Like the Iliad is the story from Homer that precedes
the Odyssey, right, and the Iliod became the movie Troy.
You know, Achilles loses his mind because in the movie Troy,
his cousin is killed wearing his armor by mistake, Like
they think it's Achilles, they go after him, they kill him.
I'm really abbreviating this. And then after that Achilles is like, Okay, cool,
(31:56):
now I'm rejoining the war. And I'm gonna fucking kill everyone.
It wasn't his cousin. That was his lover. In the
fucking iLiads, which was written by Homer, that was his lover.
And they're just like two gay Sorry audiences nowadays aren't
gonna be okay with that.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Really? Oh man, sad guys, just let him be uugh.
Gives me the ick. That's so crazy that people change
history like that. I hate it. Ew. So, Alexander the
Great takes over a lot of stuff, including Egypt. So
(32:30):
the Greeks and the Romans start to visit Egypt, and
that's why it's called the Colossie of Memnon, a hero
during the time of the Trojan War, and he led
soldiers to Troy and was slain by Achilles.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, I mean you're talking about Alexander the Great. Of
course it's gonna go full circle, right, But it said
it was named as such because of Memnon's mother, Eos,
and when he was killed, she was singing and crying,
mourning for her son. And the legend is that her
(33:10):
weeping is what forms the morning do, which is you know,
history is so poetic, it's so cool. You'll hear why
that's important in a second. So these statues are made
of blocks of quartzite sandstone and measure about twenty meters
or sixty five zero point six two feet tall, very tall,
(33:31):
sixty two feet that's like six stories. Yeah. I always
just do ten and have inscriptions in Greek and Latin
on them, dated between twenty a d And two hundred
and fifty e D. Because visitors, these these Greek and
Roman visitors would carve inscriptions into these statues. I find
that rude. But maybe it was a culture thing back then,
(33:53):
or maybe we as a human race have always just
fucked up tourist to try as because we're dickheads from
the beginning of time. You know, I don't know. But
these things are ancient, and I'll have Adam post a
picture of these two. They are posed in a sitting
position with their hands on their knees, facing the nile.
(34:16):
And what's so sad is that because it was by
the nile, whenever the nile flooded, it would destroy their
tomb and so eventually like they had to relocate all
the stones and stuff and move it, but the statues stayed.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, so these statues are a shadow of what they
must have been when they were first erected, because they
have gone through so much, so much weathering, A lot's
been chipped away. They've understandably gone through quite a lot
of history, you know, and being on the edge of
(34:53):
the floodplains, floods ate away at their foundations. It's just
rough looking at these, but I mean they still look
really cool, huge, and you can see like what they
could have been before. But it's it's sad seeing what
they look like now. I'd still want to see it
one day. Maybe VR not actually go to Egypt.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Really, you know. I just popped down there for a
day check some stuff out.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Isn't that like a fucking burger king right next to
the Great Pyramids?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah? There is, or like it's a pizza hutter. It's
definitely a very like Yeah, it's like step out of
the fast food place and you literally see the Pyramids
right there. I don't know. I'm kind of scared of
the idea of going to Egypt because I don't speak
Egyptian or anything.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I am with every country we visit. So I just
went to the Dominican Republic, where I don't speak Spanish
and people see me and immediately think I speak Spanish
and spoke to me in it. Really, Oh, most people
that weren't like my coworkers, you know, I don't speak Spanish.
Everything that said to me, everything they said to me,
was in Spanish.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Did you just look at them and go, okay.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I I don't speak, I don't speak and they look
alled fucking disappointed.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Anyways, anyway, okay, So if you're wondering when the sound
part comes into this one, it said that a large
earthquake in twenty seven BCE shattered the Northern Colossus and
collapsed it from the waist up, so the waste up
section gone and the bottom half cracked. And after this
(36:26):
it was said that the statue would sing on various occasions.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
That's fucking weird.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So within an hour or two of sunrise or like write,
at dawn, usually during the months of February or March,
it would quote unquote sing and some described it as
a blowing sound, while others described it like the string
of a lyre breaking, which is so specific, or the
striking of brass or whistling, and some related it to
(36:54):
the sound of eo sweeping. That's what they thought it was,
so they would they thought that that it was the
sound of her crying. It's at dawn, so everything's covered
in dew, you know, and so they thought it was related. Interesting, right,
I think history and lore and things like that, all
(37:14):
those old Greek god stories, I love those.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
They're fascinating.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
They're fascinating because they all have to come from something. Anyway.
It became the legend of the vocal memnon and if
you heard it, it was said to bring you luck.
So if you if you heard it, it was like
people went because they wanted to hear it, because.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
You you would be They want.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Yeah, they want to they want to believe. That's the
theme of this episode.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I want to be blessed.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
And people even looked at this, these statues like this,
this this singing whistling statue as some type of oracle,
like they wanted to be blessed by this thing, and
many came to visit, including Roman emperors. The last recorded
reliable mention of the sound dates one ninety six.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Okay, so long long time ago, A.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Long long time ago. You know, what is it now?
Twenty twenty six, twenty twenty five minus one ninety six.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
I'm not doing that. It's too much matter for eighteen
hundred years.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Don't ask me. I'm not good at math. So the
top half you see now is not the original, the
original half that collapsed. Those parts were never found. It's
thought that the reconstruction was around one ninety nine. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
(38:44):
it's like our era where we're counting twenty twenty five
post Jesus anno domini post dominie. What do you say?
Speaker 2 (38:55):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
It sounded weird. Okay. So this is from the Roman
emperor Septimius Severus, not related, not related.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
This is a time travel. He went back and was like, fuck,
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
What Severus night?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
That's fine? Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Anyway, So this emperor was attempting to curry favor with
the what they believed to be this oracle. Okay, so
he was like, if I rebuild it, it'll wash me
with luck or bathe me in luck. Whatever. And he
wanted to hear this sound when he visited, but when
(39:35):
he visited, he didn't get to hear anything, so it.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Wasn't bathed in luck. It did not pour some sugar
on him.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
He didn't pour some sugar on him, And maybe that's
why the Romans no longer rule everything, so it's not
really known why the sound was heard. People couldn't determine
if it was from the pedestal or the upper area
of the statue that had broken off, because maybe, you know,
they couldn't find the original pieces of that statue the
top half. Maybe that's what was making the sounds. And
(40:05):
then it disappeared and people never heard of the sound again.
You know. It is reported though that though rare, other
Egyptian monuments were known to create sounds of their own. Okay,
so it's thought that the more humans interfered and interacted
and built on top of things, like when they kept
(40:26):
adding layers and layers of stuff, sounds stopped. So people
don't know if it was like the material they used
to build all this stuff, and because they were you know,
the way they put things together, it made the sound.
They say that maybe it was the temperature at dawn
together with the DO that would layer over everything and
(40:49):
it would lay inside the crack of the bottom half,
you know, and as that do evaporated, it made that
whistling sound. I'm not a scientist. I don't know how
that works. How does evaporation stuff make it, but maybe
it's like you know how houses creek. Yeah, when it's
(41:11):
hot or cold or whatever. Yeah, you're stupid, But it'd
be really cool if it was something supernatural, if it
was like spiritual or something, and that's what made the sound.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
What is interesting is that, regardless of what it was,
it sounds like it lasted for around four hundred years,
four or five hundred years, right, twenty two BC to
like two hundred eighty roughly, and whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Well, no, so it cracked in twenty seventy C.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
I'm sorry, sorry, so two hundred years, just over two
hundred years. This sound could be heard from the statue
if you were like lucky enough to hear it. Yeah,
but it even if it was something completely explainable, you know,
like the acoustics of whatever was used to make the
statue settling after it was cracked, whatever the case may be,
that's still super fucking fascinating.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
It is fat I think that's really fascinat And that's
the I think part of the luck thing, because imagine
how perfect everything needed to be to make it happen.
Because it's something in nature, right, the sound was supposedly
naturally occurring, based on the do temperature whatever. It had
(42:19):
to be the perfect temperature, the right around, the right
amount of moisture. It just everything had to be perfect.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
All the conditions had to line up perfectly for you
to be lucky enough to hear it.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Hearing. Yeah, I mean, now these days, we can make
a train station that if you stand on one end
and then stand on the other end, you can hear
each other perfectly, like you're next to each other.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
But I know a lot more about acoustics nowadays. I
mean I shouldn't even say that, Like there are amphitheaters
that were super impressive back in the.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Day, too, very true.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
Yeah, I mean, we don't know what's going on specifically
with this statue, but it's pretty fucking dope.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I think it's cool. And you know, the it was
a tourist attraction back then, and it's still a tourist
attraction now, so I think that's really cool. I don't
know it's it's not so much it's a mysterious creature,
super mystery sound type thing. But I want to know
what made it and why it stopped.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
You want to I want to believe it is curious.
I wonder what theories that they have like locally. Yeah, yeah,
and I think it'd be fun to travel there. I
understand like your hesitancy, especially since a lot of the
stuff that I've like read or watched about when it
comes to like hostage situations back into this, especially in
the nineteen hundreds, which sound like so far away, for
(43:33):
like planes being hijacked, like that one topic I covered
where like they like were leaving Egypt, I think, to
go to I can't even remember where, but it was
like the Egyptian like special forces were involved, and like
those all the stuff that was happening over there at
the time. You just never know, like you could be
the unlucky person who travels to Egypt to like hear
this song and instead of playing its hide jacks. Yeah, yeah,
like that, because it always seems like travel to there
(43:55):
or from there in the era that that shit used
to kick off always involved that. I know, it's so
much further in the past at this point, that's like
fifty sixty years ago. Yeah, but because I've seen so
many recently and I remember covering that topic, I'm just like, yeah,
a little bit hesitant. I would love to go to Egypt, though,
I think it'd be super dope to stop there for
like a day or two.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
You know who used to go to Egypt? No, Bill
Weasley to study the dragons. I hate you, so I'm sorry,
but the guy. The guy's name was fucking.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Severus, Septimus, Severus, Septimius, Timmius Severus. Okay, I'm sure that's where. No,
I'm not even to speculate where jk Rowling out her
name from. I'm pretty sure she has had a bunch
of random shit in the dartboard. My friend once tweeted
there someone was talking about her at the time. Twitter
was talking about like the names and how lame they
were and like how racist cho chang of a name
(44:42):
would be. Yeah, and my friend tweeted, like she literally
named the wherewill Reemus Lupin? That's like name wolf wolf? Yeah,
just like, holy fuck, he's right. AnyWho, good topic grama.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
I Yeah, sorry, I could go down a Harry Potter
hole all day.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
But interesting, I just level.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
I don't know. I don't care for jk Rowling whatsoever.
I think she's pretentious and a horrible person. But I
grew up on Harry Potter and it's a nostalgia thing,
you know.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
I aside from all the stuff that is super CONTROVERSI
about JK rowing. She just does not know when to
leave well enough alone.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah, sometimes you just got to learn to wizards on.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
The floor and magic it away, like what the fuck
is wrong with you? Sometimes it Jesus.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Sometimes it be like that.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
Anyway, thank you guys. If you've made it this far,
hopefully you enjoyed it. I am I love history. I
used to grow up watching the History Channel.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
So I still watched the Street.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
I still watch the History Channel. I was just watching
a documentary while you know, Adam was playing Wow earlier, so.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
I still play Wow.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Sometimes it'd be like that. Okay, but thank you guys
so much. Thank you for listening to us. Hopefully it
wasn't too off putting. I know we went off topic
like fifty times and that's literally our brains. Uh So
if you're down for that, thank you. Thank you for
joining us. Hopefully you stick around. Yeah, and yeah, why
(46:07):
don't you.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
I just want to give a shout out. We had
like three people reach out in the last couple of
weeks asking me to cover Lake Landier and it's funny,
so I'm like, there must be something in popular culture
where Lake Lannier has popped up again, like maybe there
was another death down there, and I had to mention
like it was like episode two forty, it's called Lake
of the Dead, uh, because I did cover it, and
so when folks were asking, I was like, it must
not be named Lake Lanninger because they can't find it.
(46:30):
But for anyone who has also stumbled over whatever got
this back in popular culture's eye, we have covered that.
And thank you to everyone who reaches out when they
see something cool and is like I want you guys
to cover it. It's a really nice feeling knowing like
you hear something creepy, something scaryish, and you're like, I
want to hear it come from Adam and Robbin. That is.
I would never be upsetting at all for people suggesting topics,
(46:51):
and it's actually one of the happier things for me
to tell you, like I already did that so that
way you can go back and hear it and you
don't have to wait for me to do my research.
It's like ready and available for you. So it's always coming.
