(00:10):
Where are you headed today? I'm.
Going downtown to the. Police station.
OK, that's not normally a stop for me, but nobody else seems to
be out in this weather right now, so I'll try to get you as
close as I can. Anyway, welcome aboard Bus. 4
(00:32):
Sorry, what did you just say? I said welcome aboard the bus,
Sean. That's your, that's on your name
tag. It is Sean.
Right. Oh, oh, yeah, it is.
And thanks, I appreciate it. You new to town, Sean?
(01:10):
Just landed, going to going to be here a few days.
Look, I'm sorry if I'm out of place, but are you here to look
into that bus driver's death from a few months ago?
I I really can't talk about open.
(01:30):
Cases. I know, I know.
It's, it's just ever since all that happened, my wife, she's,
she's been a mess thinking that it's somebody targeted bus
drivers. Our community just hasn't been
at peace since it all happened. It's just nice to see that some
(01:52):
progress may be made here soon. Well, I'll try my best to give
you some answers. Thank you, Sean.
We're at the police station now.Good luck.
(02:21):
Hey y'all, it's Busty the bus driver here.
It's busty, our bus driver. He's he's.
Dead. If you're watching this it means
I've died. I'm actually saying just beg
someone or something might be after me.
(02:44):
Strange things are starting to happen.
You know what? Just in case, if my death seems
a little premature, just promiseme that you'll.
(03:23):
Good evening gentlemen. My name is Detective Sean De
Palma. I know I'm just some fed to you
local boys, but I assure you I am simply here to shed some new
light on the busty the bus driver case and I just have a
hunch that we are on our way to soften it.
(03:44):
How about you boys introduce yourselves?
What's up everyone? It's Aidan.
Hello, my name is Mitch. And I'm Sam.
Hello Aidan, Mitch and Sam. Now, I know you detectives have
been working on this case for some time now, but I was sent
(04:08):
just to make sure we're being thorough.
I know a lot of this will go over the same evidence again,
but please just remain with me if, if you want, we can even
make it again. For example, here could be the
rules. 3 rounds of five questions each going in value
during each round. There will be no buzzer, but
(04:30):
remain quick. There will still be times where
the points may only be awarded to the wittiest detective, but
be also on the lookout. Obviously, we don't have all the
answers or else we would have solved the case by now.
It could be very well that something we've fought to be
true all along is it? If you find one of these
(04:52):
challenging answers, I'll give you 3 more points.
Hell, if you find it in the middle of the investigation,
I'll go ahead and give you the points for the question and take
one point away from each of yourfellow detectives.
But if you slow us down by challenging something that is
true after all, I'll have no choice but to take three points
(05:16):
from you. Finally, I know your boys may
like you Google, but this is a complicated and sensitive case,
so I'll ask that you refrain from using it so we can focus on
the evidence itself rather than surfing the interwebs.
That sound good? Then on to round one, reviewing
(05:41):
the busty files During this round, each question is worth
one point each. Okay, I suppose we ought to
start with the case file. Let's see Buster for Bustington
the 8th AKA Busty was driving the bus one on January 30th 2025
when he suddenly became non responsive.
(06:04):
It's Busty, our bus driver. Causing the bus to crash.
No signs of foul play were foundon arrival at the scene dead.
That's it. That's the whole case report I
see here. We have a box of things
pertaining to this busty case. This is even rather empty, isn't
(06:25):
it? Just a few photographs of the
scene and busty's autopsy. The bus, one that was involved
in the crash, was impounded justover there in the warehouse.
We have yet to release it again since the accident, so the folks
from the bus have been using a rental in the meantime.
Oh, yeah, And we have this big old chest here with A5 letter
(06:48):
combination lock that we got from Busty's residence.
OK, well, as we begin, I want toact not only as a guide, but as
a mentor. I want to improve your detective
skills. And where better to begin than
to turn to the stories of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur
(07:09):
Conan Doyle? Question one Sherlock Holmes is
a champion of using deductive reasoning, but what is the
difference between deductive reasoning and inductive
reasoning? I think I know.
Yes, Detective Aiden. Is it deductive reasoning?
(07:29):
Is you're using you're using allthe facts, all the evidence, and
using that to build towards the conclusion.
Where isn't inductive reasoning?You start from the conclusion
and work backwards, like you assume something's true and then
figuring it out in reverse of how it happened.
OK, are there any other answers?What can I say?
(07:50):
I'm the wittiest detective. Let me try something.
Let me try something so reductive and inductive.
Deductive and inductive. Oh, and inductive, can you say
those two again, Sorry. Deductive.
Really. Inductive and de reductive?
Never mind. Activated we have to stay on
pause. Never mind.
Oh. You don't answer.
(08:10):
Can you suck on his answer? I miser you, I miser you.
Can you either find the terms? Of it to the fun.
Yeah, can you actually define the 2?
Terms for me please. Can you?
Use it in a sentence well. I'll I'll let you know as part
of the question, Sherlock Holmesused deductive recent and that
(08:31):
was the the big thing that he England, I guess he's from
England. OK, I'll.
Go. Ahead, I don't have this just.
Gave up as far. As I know I'm so abrupt is
inductive reasoning, you're taking like very specific
practical observations, startingwith those and then using them
(08:53):
to work towards a conclusion where like deductive reasoning,
you're starting with the broad stroke.
So like a theory or like a general principle or something,
and then you're applying them tospecific or cases or whatever
and using that to reach a conclusion.
I see. I see in Mitch, do you have any
answer? The best I can say is 1 is you
(09:16):
present a bunch of theories and like prove them false until you
get to 1 that you can't prove false.
And then the other is like you take all the evidence, take all
the evidence and then you try tothink of the best theory that
fits those pieces of evidence. That's that's my only guess.
I think you all were on the right track.
I believe Sam was the only one who lined them up correctly.
(09:39):
So deductive reasoning uses a hypothesis and uses evidence to
fill the gaps. This is a top down approach,
while inductive reasoning uses to build up a case or a bottom
up. So I believe, Aiden, you might
have actually gotten it backwards.
Yeah, I was thinking of like a math proof by induction where
you say assume this is true and then you hit all the reasons why
(10:02):
it's not. So that sounds like that might
be off the opposite of what the reasoning really is and.
Why is it called a proof by induction?
I have no idea. I'm a detective, I'm not a math
major. OK.
But knowing this now, just remember, don't let your
(10:22):
hypothesis dictate what you see in the evidence.
Confirmation bias can lead you to see your own conclusions and
evidence that they don't support.
You know that Sherlock Holmes really was something, wasn't he?
You know, I once visited Rockenbach Falls where Sherlock
Holmes defeated Moriarty. They both leapt from the edge of
(10:46):
the falls to their demise. It's a valiant way to go, to
sacrifice yourself, to bring down your enemy with you.
But nowadays the the pathway nearby the falls has eroded
away. Eroded away.
Wait a damn minute, boys. I've got something on this
(11:11):
picture of the scene of the crash.
Do you see the holes in the fence on the side of the road
there on the base of the Cliff? My keen observations allow me to
spot the holes in the fence thatlooks.
Like a scree, talus deposits. Now help me out.
In which of the following mass wasting, such as landslides
(11:33):
would we see this kind of debris?
A rockslide, B creep, C slump, or D rock fall.
I was hitting all these in the club last night.
Rock Slide. You were hitting the rock slide.
I was, I wasn't hitting the Creek, thank you very much.
(11:55):
But. I'm going to go with rock.
I'm going to go with Rock Fall personally.
I got you. Got you.
So that was D Aiden Sam, do you have any answers?
I'm going to go with slump because I have no idea but that
one. Sounds cool, so nice.
This doesn't look creepy to me. I will go rock slide.
OK, Mitch, that point will go toyou.
This is an example of rockfall. Rockfall is where you have
(12:19):
single rocks or or or small boulders falling down the side
of the side of a Cliff, while the others are more short term
movement of mass or much larger like a rock side is much larger.
Now there's rocks. There's quite a bit of rocks on
the side of the road, but there's no sign of any in the
(12:41):
road that the bus may have hit. Strange is.
That a guy. I believe that's a picture of
one of the police officers that is run into the bus.
Can I get his badge? Number.
I believe that's in the in the case file if you.
OK, I'll go. I'll go look.
Strange though. Come on boys.
Perhaps with this new evidence we should inspect the bus itself
(13:05):
for any signs of this rockfall. Rock damage, yeah.
Look at that, there are some small dents on the hood and tiny
cracks on the windshield, but this didn't cause the crash
itself. How strange.
But stranger yet, I I guess Busty enjoys keeping a bobble
head of Elvis on the dashboard. Me too.
(13:28):
Busty never seemed like the bobble head tap, but I guess
there's plenty of reasons to have a bobble head on the dash.
Question 3. Which of the following is a
reason that truck drivers put bobble heads on the dashboard
other than just being a trinket?And these are long potential
answers, so make sure you pay attention.
(13:48):
Strap it A. Increased bobblehead shaking is
an early warning sign of imminent engine failure.
B Bobblehead movement is proven to be mentally stimulating for
drivers on straight roads and help keep them awake.
That's right, C Bobblehead shaking is more finely able to
(14:12):
show tire imbalances that the driver can't feel or D when
driving on ice roads, the bobbleheads shake more when the truck
speed is starting to cause pressure waves that could break
the ice. Pressure waves, you say?
I'm. Going to go with C.
That's tough. That was the same tile
(14:33):
imbalances. Like if he's, if, if Elvis is
hitting it to the left a little too much, you're like, oh, I
need to, I need to do that. Pressure to the left, you say?
I'm going to go with I think engine.
Trouble. Yeah.
(14:54):
I see that. Was a a.
Well, those were the two I was going to go for because I don't
think mentally stimulating is the reason, so I'll say DI
thought. Just because it was fun.
That's what I thought. But let's.
Swing. It just because it's, you know,
whatever. Well, Detective Aiden, you are
correct. Wow, yeah, I knew that.
(15:16):
Sorry, what? Was D again.
D Pressure waves ice. So, so when truckers are driving
on ice roads such as in like Alaska, if they drive too slow,
then obviously they could break the ice.
But if you drive too fast, then the pressure waves of the of the
car driving on the on the ice could cause pressure waves to
(15:37):
break the ice they're driving on.
So a bottle head shows when they're starting to drive too
fast. Yeah, it's.
Interesting, that makes sense because Busty travels all over
the world, right? That he never.
Knows the weather condition is. Going to get how absolutely true
I want to, I want to call this one into discussion for a
potential red herring because itcould have a big impact on us
(15:58):
finding out how the bus crashed potential.
Interesting. OK, that may that's that may be
a good point. Like was it engine failure?
Could it have been engine failure?
Could it have been a a tire pressure tire failure?
Exactly. I love this discussion.
Let's think about this one. I do want to I do want to point
(16:19):
something out that I I noticed here on the dashboard that this
bobblehead seemed to be glued toa panel of some kind that's on
the dash. We well, let's let's keep
moving, looking around for now. Detectives, what is that hidden
under the driver's seat? Why that looks like a my
(16:40):
password journal. And this is my password journal.
It only opens to my voice. Question four.
If I remember correctly, that journal has some of the most
loctite voice. That's right.
Password. That's right.
Locks ever seen in a toy? I hear the Presidential Book of
(17:03):
Secrets is actually one of these.
I've heard this. I work for the government.
I can neither the nuclear. Code the nuclear codes are in
that. 2nd Mr. President, Mr. President, the nuclear codes.
Let me give you my journal. All right, question 4 Created by
(17:24):
Janice Swanson of Girl Tech. The My Password journal was
accompanied by many other voice related toys.
Which of the following is not a toy?
Also developed by Janice Swanson.
A the Yak Back, B the Talk Boy, C the Blabby Baby, or D the
(17:46):
Snoop Stopper Keepsake Box, which is not which is not.
Also developed by Jenny Swanson.The blabby baby the Snoop
stopper sneak peek box or keepsake Snoop stopper keepsake
box. Thank you.
That's a. Talkback and the talk boy.
No way, it's a talk, boy. Yeah, that's what I was
(18:07):
thinking. Is that the thing from Home
Alone right? Oh.
I'm going to go with the baby baby Babble Babble baby.
Baby, baby, baby. Yeah, blabby baby.
That's right, purple. People Eater.
That's right. Same in Aiden, same in a I.
Was going to go with the talk. Boy, I was going to go with the
talk boy because Girl Tech wouldnot make something called the
(18:29):
Talk Boy. Well, I can't say it was Girl
Tech. This is Janice Swanson.
She may not have been with Girl Tech at that time.
She was now oh, Janice Swanson shopped her job, hopped a.
Little bit she was a major inventor of of different toys.
So she was just the founder of Girl Tech.
(18:51):
Not sure if that clarification makes.
I'm still locked in. Yeah, I.
Yeah, OK. Well Mitch, you are correct.
The live baby was made-up by myself.
What was the talk, boy? The talk boy, you are correct,
it was in Home Alone too. Yeah.
They had a major point in the plot.
(19:11):
Now I I would deduce that this my password journal may be
Busty's. Perhaps if there were strange
things going on in his life beforehand, then we could find
it in there. Without his password, we'll
never be able to get in. It's like Fort Knox.
Keep it. Keep an eye out for something
(19:33):
that it could be. Well, we looked pretty
thoroughly. Is there any more evidence we
need to look at? Oh.
Of course, the autopsy. Probably.
Should that? Probably.
Should check that out I've. Written down girl tech killed
busty for corporate cover up question.
Question. Be careful of where your where
(19:56):
your hypothesis may take things.We should probably check that
autopsy even if there's no initial signs of foul play.
Oh oh wow. Somehow it looks like the
autopsy shows that. Busty had cancer that had
metastasized throughout his entire body.
(20:20):
Except the hands and feet. Except.
And I mean everywhere he had that full body cancer.
Every kind. Well, I guess here's a question
about cancer. Kind every.
Well, question 5 Generally, my God, generally a cancer is named
(20:42):
from where? Generally a cancer is named from
where it starts, even if it spreads elsewhere.
But when doctors can't determinethe start location or there are
multiple potential start locations, which of the
following is how the cancer is named?
It says every kind on the report, so is it not just that?
(21:05):
Well, that was the the doctor must have been taking some.
Liberties. Is that a good doctor?
So how? How is the cancer named if you
don't know where it started? Is it?
A It is named for the location with the most cancerous mass?
B It is named for the first location it is found or the 1st
to show symptoms. C Cancers are different enough
(21:28):
from each other. You can always determine its
origin under a microscope, or D the cancer goes unnamed.
It's just cancer. I'm going to go with C.
Because isn't it? It's mutated versions of a
certain cell. Right, because different cells
are different. Different cells are different.
(21:54):
I don't have a major. I don't either.
Let me call, Let me call my biology friend, I'm thinking.
More I was thinking more D in terms of I swear I've heard
like. It's just called.
Cancer of unknown origin before and they just, you know, they
don't try to name it based on like where it was found or
something. Now this is just saying like it
(22:14):
would be genetically named cancer.
Like they wouldn't even give it any kind of name.
Yeah, that's what I'm feeling. Busty is AO negative blood.
That's cool. Nice.
That's right, universal, universal donor.
Hey, look, we got our money's worth that unless he had, well,
he had every kind. So he had blood cancer.
He probably can't, probably can't give blood when you have
(22:35):
cancer. Have a world.
What a cruel, cruel world. Well, I'll differentiate myself.
I'll just say it's where the where the like where it first
shows up. I see, Mitch, you said.
See that is. Correct.
Oh my God, I'm going to. Kill him just or.
I mean, I mean. You better watch yourself,
Detective Mitch. So OK, now just as cells of
(22:58):
different parts of the body can be identified, the cancer from
each area is unique. So when they say cancer, every
kind, it's really actually multiple different types of
cancer. That's right.
Well, I I mean this you autopsy seems to show that he died from
cancer of the whole body. Oh.
(23:20):
Can you have like lung cancer inother places or once it moves to
another organ, does it become that type of cancer?
I believe it's still called lungcancer since that's where it
started, but in situations wherejust right metastasized, little
do our contestants know. That this was the fake answer.
(23:44):
Looks like they were fooled thistime.
So I guess it's hard to argue foul play when he died from
cancer, but. Or the doctors.
Doesn't it seem like there's still more to this case?
Yeah, I mean it, it says that itcame to a halt eventually, but
he didn't have cancer in his feet or his hands.
(24:05):
I mean, that's. Who's that pathologist up there?
I can't quite. Read that.
I don't know if we should now. It may just been a difficulty
coloring inside the lines issue then purposefully leaving the
hands and feet. Who was the pathologist on
there? Can't quite read it, it seems to
be in Doctor's handwriting. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
(24:29):
That's OK, That was. Can we get our resident doctor
handwriting expert on this one? He's out of town.
He's out of town right now. But at this point here, let's
let's take a break and do a point check in an audience
question and then we'll get backto it.
All right, let's start with a point check.
How are we? How are we doing?
1. I have one. 3.
(24:52):
Raising that away deep tip. That has three.
Wow. Wow.
Well, with this, we'll we'll throw it over to the audience
question so the audience can getinvolved in the investigation.
Busty. Files recording 039 suspect
wheels. The wheel This is.
(25:14):
Detective Hugh done it and afterpouring over the evidence I have
to say I am stumped on this case.
I've investigated plenty of suspects and even pulled our
audience, but not one of them knew even the simplest facts of
the case. Like the bird named after the
wind contraption we were lookingfor was the kite.
Looks like good cop isn't dealing out any audience points
(25:37):
this week. But now we're going to question
a suspect who knew Busty pretty well.
Wheels, listen, man, I told you I just go round and round.
I don't know anything that happened to busting saving.
Wheels, I know you 2 worked together back in the day Yeah,
we worked together, but. You know, it was more of a
(25:59):
friendly rivalry. Thing I mean, I didn't beat
about for the mascot spot, but there was no bad blood between
us. I wasn't going to do anything to
him. That's what they've all said
Wheels, but I sure got to be sure.
Well, what can I tell you? How can I help you out?
Well, Wheels, maybe you would help me out to know just how
familiar you are with Busty. How many Bus 1 trivia episodes
(26:24):
has Busty appeared on? Hey, man, you know, I don't
know. I'm just on the outside of the
bus going round and round. I don't interact with all those
insiders too often. That's interesting, Wheels.
Seems like you didn't have too much interaction with them.
Yeah, that's what I'm telling you, man.
I mean, we see. Each other every once in awhile,
but. I guess what goes ran comes ran
(26:46):
well, seems like wheels won't bemuch help, but I still need this
key piece of information for thecase.
If anyone knows how many episodes Busty the Bus Driver
has appeared on, please submit an anonymous tip through the
comments under the episode on Spotify, YouTube or our
Instagram at Bus 1 Trivia. And there will be a reward of 1
(27:07):
audience point for any evidence helping us to convict.
We're also going to need to get the word out if we're going to
solve this mystery, so make sureyou share with a friend or
family member. It would really help us out now.
Let's get back to the case detectives.
I just remembered there's that chest with the five letter
(27:30):
combination lock. Surely there's something more
there. Now, just above the lock itself
are the words do not. What could that mean, and what
is that there? What?
Burned into the top of the chestitself are a string of some
weird letters and characters. It looks like an AT sign from
(27:53):
e-mail addresses followed by thewords busty under score of under
score DA under score bus. Busty, busty of the bus.
And and it had the AT sign at the beginning.
At Busty at the Bus, we should check out your social media.
(28:13):
Can I Instagram? Yeah, we should check out his
social media. Instagram, you said go ahead, go
ahead. Oh my God, you've been to the
Instagram play? Actually, this is nuts, Busty.
I'm surprised it didn't show up on my suggested like, Oh my God.
Followed by bustling trivia. Yeah.
I'm going to follow it too. I'm automatically following it.
(28:34):
So he followed. He was already following me.
Sorry, what? You.
Follow Busty. Who's it following?
It's not following me. The wheels has an account too.
Awesome. Wait, what do you mean the
wheels? We are mascot wheels.
I. Got round and round.
I just Google. I just googled.
Instagram. Dot com as well and I see it.
(28:58):
Rest in peace, Dennis Quaid. Hold on, hold on.
Now let's let's get into it together.
Let's get into it together. OK, OK.
When I go to www.instagram.com and search for this string of
characters, I found a profile that seems to be his and his
Last Post seems to have been just before the crash.
(29:19):
Let's see it says this bus 1. Nobody can crack a case like
you. I know that if I ever need
anything, you wouldn't hesitate to help.
Even from the first letter I sent in my heart and in my
chest, I know you will see what needs to be done.
(29:40):
Then there's five other posts would be the. 1st to like this.
Well, let's get into Round 2, breaking the case wide open.
During this round, each questionis worth 2 points each, so let's
go through the different posts that Busty made just before he
died. Let's see question six.
(30:04):
Rest in peace, Dennis Quaid. I always enjoyed your movies,
especially when you played astronaut Gordon Gordo Cooper in
this 1983 movie about the astronauts of NASA's Mercury
program. What movie is he referring to
He. Played.
(30:24):
Gordo. Oh shoot, I don't know dude.
I've been watching For All Mankind in that quarter.
Cooper's in that, but I don't I don't know this movie.
Is this multiple choice busty? I have no from.
The grave. You're asking Busty from.
The grave. Anybody.
Anybody got any? Any idea?
(30:45):
Absolutely no idea. OK, well, if nobody has any
ideas, let me see. I I think I've seen this movie.
I think it's the right stuff. Does not.
Ring a bell? The right stuff.
Oh well. Never seen that.
Movie, yes. No points for that one.
OK. All right next to the busty.
(31:05):
'S. Busty's sorry, Dennis.
Great. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace. I watched the bear chat
recently. I watched the last week.
That one's for you. All right, on to the next
question. Question 7.
I'll never forget when I was considered for the Bus 1 mascot.
An immense honor to be nominatedand Congrats again to at Wheels
(31:27):
Gone Round for winning. He's at least better than La
Boosie, the rabbit like mascot for the Sabadell transit system
of this country. La boosie.
La boosie. What country would have
something so? Dumb.
So this is a nightmare creature.Is this going to be on the next
(31:50):
Krypton's episode? It does start with La La So
love, yeah. Detective Aiden, if you want to
describe what you're seeing. Yeah, so it's like the Rabbids
from Mario Rabbits. Right.
Kind of, but it's like a transitmap body and then like a creepy
joker smile. That's the joke.
(32:11):
I think I got it. I think I got it.
I'm gonna, I was gonna say. Spain.
I'm gonna say Spain too. Those kids look Spain or Spain.
Spain. Those kids look Spain.
Am I wrong? Are you saying Detective Sam?
I think Sam at all, I think it'sin Catalonia because I was like
looking, don't ask me why, but looking into their independence
request. The.
(32:33):
Other day. Leave it to Sam.
They have some obscure politicalOK they've been.
Trying for years but I'm also thinking Spain.
Now you boys, I think you're correct.
It is Spain. OK, on to question eight.
Let me read it here. I've driven around some famous
(32:53):
people before, but being able todrive around the eyes of God
from F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, how am I going to
beat meeting this doctor? DJ Eckelberg, sorry I said it
when it showed up, realized the question.
Sam and Mitch, do you have any ideas?
I'll give it to Aiden. All right.
(33:14):
Then Aiden. I wouldn't have known.
Eckelberg is correct. DJ.
Nice job, Aiden. Thanks, love me some Gatsby.
All right. Two points to you on that one.
Is the Valley of Ashes still around?
Like this was posted nine hours ago?
Don't look at that. All.
(33:36):
Right, on to question 9. Hey guys.
Hey guys. Is it kind of weird we never
mentioned how Logan was like full on evil and all powerful
for that one bus ride? Like I'll let bygones be
bygones, but we didn't really doanything about it afterwards.
(33:58):
Honestly I only thought of this because I was watching
DreamWorks Megamind and this cameraman guy who gets powers
and becomes temporarily evil kind of reminded me of Logan.
Yeah, they look similar. I would like to do a point of
order that he was always evil, the powers just made him feel
more. That's right, being a Dick.
That's right, Aiden. Thank you.
(34:18):
This is this is Busty who wrote this?
Yeah, that's right. Not to speak I'll of the dead,
but Busty maybe? Like, did you shoot me your
media? A little more did not.
Understand the deep. Themes behind Megamind.
Megamind is deep. OK, Yeah.
OK any any ideas? So the name has.
Name. The camera when he becomes a a
(34:42):
super villain. Oh, I remember that.
OK, Yeah. Oh, when he becomes a A.
Hero's life villain. Yes, I think I got it, yeah.
OK, go ahead. Al Stewart, right?
You know, like the name of the superhero.
That's just isn't it. No his his superhero name.
Let's say it together, Aden. Yeah, 321.
(35:04):
Titan Titan, but spelled T. ITHATE.
N. That's right.
OK, Sam. Sam knew it.
OK, OK. Damn, knew it.
That that is correct his name. Was Titan.
OK. And finally, on to Question 10.
A bit of love to my 2 beautiful Scarlet Macaws.
(35:27):
Diane and Charlie. Look at their vibrant feathers
here. Did you know Macaws have been
important to the peoples of North and South America for
millennia, even though they are definitively from South America?
As early as 300 AD, Scarlet Macaws were traded through the
indigenous peoples as north as this mountainous western US
(35:51):
state. Intuitively, I'm thinking New
Mexico. I'm gonna go with that.
I see. I see.
Feel like they're not gonna be able to survive like 2 N right?
I don't know though. Colorado.
OK. I'm gonna say.
California. OK, yes, the mountainous state
(36:13):
of California. Yes, they're mountains in
California. Yeah, but I wouldn't call it.
Mountainous. In all honesty, watch me be
right, Cooper. Tell me I'm right.
Sorry, I don't believe any of you are.
We'll try again. Go ahead, you have any more
ideas? No.
No more ideas, no more states today.
I'll say Arizona. Why not?
(36:36):
OK. Also famously mountainous.
Western. Maybe he meant it was a northern
western US state. You know, actually, I didn't
think about that, Chief Wyoming.Yeah, let's, let's take.
You didn't insinuate that it hadto be a northern state within
the US, just that it was relatively.
North doesn't have to be within the US.
(36:58):
That's so smart, Sam. It could be in Canada.
Wow, you detectives truly are right.
British Columbia. OK, so I'm thinking Utah.
Now, did we say Wyoming? I was going to say Wyoming, but
if you want to say Wyoming, I'llgo even northern.
(37:19):
OK, let's take a break here and and discuss what what do you
think these answers are are leading us to?
What? So.
It seems Busty was trying to lead us down a path of of
solving something with. These.
The right stuff, the right stuff, the good stuff.
I already forgot the movie that I've never seen it was.
(37:40):
Right. Stuff The right stuff.
Spain. TJ Eckelberg.
TJ Yes. Oh, the first letter?
Wasn't there something to do with the first letter?
Yeah, there's there's six, but it was a five letter
combination. Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, yeah. But there were six tools, but it
was the. Five.
One of them is like. Yeah, yeah, he got this gamer.
OK, let me pull up the SO. OK.
(38:01):
That's very. Smart the right stuff or is it
right stuff Comma the? Probably comma the if I would,
if I would bust it, I would justbe Commodore, right?
So yeah, Rs T. And then the last one.
That doesn't make that doesn't spell a word.
(38:24):
Maybe we have to scramble them around, so maybe the last one is
a vowel of some kind. Well, it looks like it could be
trusts if it's Utah TRU or trustif it's Utah.
I like that, Sam. I like that.
Sam, I think you're correct. Let's give you the point for
for. Just like stumbled and.
Oh, correct it. Could be different if it's Ohio.
(38:48):
All right, I think Utah is correct.
Let me let me put it in here. It.
Could be, I don't know. Let's try trust.
Actually, no. Trust didn't quite work.
Let's. Try trust that did it.
Wow. All right.
(39:10):
Boys. Why do you got a gun?
Why do you have a gun? Let's have the lot of you line
up over there where I can see your.
Heads He's a small town detective, but he's actually a
criminal. Do you work hate?
Do you work for girl tech via? I'd hate to ruin this fun, but
it's time to be serious now. Can we get serious now?
(39:33):
I am from the government. But you see, we have suspicions
that Busty had obtained a weaponof mass destruction.
Wow, sorry. We're being serious.
We're being serious. I admit that I was beginning to
badger him some time before his death for the details, but I've
come to retrieve and destroy it once and for all for the safety
(39:55):
of our country. You're badgering.
Him all right over there. You knew.
He had every cancer. Hey, let me see those hands.
Let me see those hands. All right, I'm going to open the
case. Here we go.
What there's There's only a couple of papers in here.
There's no weapon. Well, the pen is mightier than
(40:18):
the sword. Well, yeah, Sam, get those hands
up. Get those hands up.
Sam, come over here and read theletter that that Busty put in
the chest. Dear Bus 1, I knew you would
solve my riddles. Ever since this federal agent
guy showed up at my door and started asking me questions
about some weapon of mass destruction, I have felt so
(40:40):
uneasy. It all started about a year ago
when my grandpa passed away. In his will he left me what he
called a tool that our ancestorshad bestowed upon our lineage.
And I guess long ago some kind of aliens appeared to one of my
Bustington forefathers and told him about some kind of
incredibly powerful and magical creature that was set on
(41:04):
destroying the world in the future.
So he created something that could supposedly defeat it or
anything that endangered us Bustingtons.
Not long after, and I don't knowhow they found out about it,
this fence starts coming around asking pointed questions like he
knew something about it. So I I hit it, I can only
imagine that I must also keep itsafe, like my father's father
(41:28):
before me. If you find this letter, I am
likely gone. I'm sorry I had to go like this,
but just know, the sweetest sound in the world to me was
that horn as I called you all aboard.
I would do anything to protect that, and I hope you would too.
Don't let this tool fall into the wrong hands.
That's so sweet. Now that letter made me sound
(41:51):
bad. I'm not evil.
I'm not evil. I hope you understand that in
the time since I found out aboutBussy's weapon, I have also
found a string of curious deathsconnected to your bus.
One group you have been closely related to multiple instances of
murders that have occurred on your bus.
(42:12):
Not to mention there was that runaway bus incident that
resulted in many deaths as well.We don't need to talk about
that. Your final kill count was 1
billion and 41 kill. I am here to put a stop to this
madness once and for all, starting with locating that
(42:33):
weapon. You know what?
While I got your attention, let's do a point check.
I have 7. I have 5 seven. 5. 7. 757 where
I was a close. Game.
It's almost 597. Is that something?
Is that anything? Is that anything?
(42:53):
All right. Well, we're going to, we're
going to move on to to round 3, which I'm titling cleaning up
loose ends. I don't know, no.
I'm not loose ends each question.
I'm so tight, I'm so tight each.Question is worth 3 points each.
(43:15):
All right, everyone on the bus. If the weapon isn't in this
chest, then he must have hidden it there.
We're going on the move. Who's?
Driving. I'm going to drive.
I'm handcuffing you all up. We're all getting handcuffed,
all right? Now that everyone is handcuffed
in their seats, we can be civil again.
(43:37):
I'm putting away my firearm. Look, it's nothing against you
folks. The ancient weapon of mass
destruction has been an urban legend within the government for
decades, and the power it can supposedly harness is
unparalleled. If that weapon is somewhere on
this bus, as I suspect it is, then even if I don't find it, I
(44:00):
just need to destroy it for the sake of national security.
You know you're going to destroythe bus.
You know, there's a bridge near near here that I think will
just. Do a trick.
Don't do it. If you'd like to be done with
all this nonsense then you can help me rid ourselves of it, but
if you'd rather go down with theship then help me then so be it.
(44:21):
Wait, what about the alien creature that's going to destroy
the Earth and we need this? You don't believe you?
Really believe that That crazy letter that Busty wrote about an
alien creature? No, definitely not guys at Star
Gang. I think he's talking about Star
Gang. Oh shit, you're right.
Down here to show I'm serious about what I'm talking about,
(44:44):
let's do a question on weapons of mass destruction.
That's right, That's right, question 11.
The most concise definition of aweapon of mass destruction is
given in the acronym NBC, which denotes the three main kinds.
(45:09):
What are these categories of weapons of mass destruction?
It's the most succinct, not justweapon of mass destruction.
No, these are different categories of weapon of mass
destruction. NBC.
I'm going to write. I got it.
I got. It no, no.
I'll give Detective Mitch some time to no, not to come.
Up with the I got the N in this I.
(45:31):
Learned this in a class. So you understand how serious
this? Is I got it.
OK, go ahead, Detective Sam. OK.
I think it's nuclear, biologicaland chemical.
Yeah. I agree with.
That that is correct. You all get 3 points.
Nice. Let's go.
Very nice. We're working together already.
(45:52):
So we're serious about this. We're serious about this.
Do you know what type this one is?
I I've. Only heard urban legend that
it's very powerful, but I do notknow now we're we're driving.
Look, look over there. We're passing the crash scene
and the rock fall we saw earlier.
Something must have caused that,right?
(46:13):
It it could have been Busty's weapon.
Whoa. The ground is is shaking.
Is that distant laughing I hear?Laughing.
Oh my God, there's more rocks falling.
This is an earthquake of some kind.
(46:33):
Question 12 Detectives, we need to work together here quickly of
the following Which is the safest for us to do during an
earthquake? A drive under an overpass, B
drive into a tunnel, C drive across a bridge or D pull over
(46:56):
and hide under the bus. What are the?
Which of those is safest? Oh, that's tough.
I'm going to go with. Dee.
I was. That's tough.
Why weren't you driving? To a tunnel, it's like the
that's the. Worst case scenario.
Right, stay away. Like over Beth, terrible, like
(47:19):
anything that puts something over you, I think is a terrible,
terrible, terrible idea. Everything.
Comes a. Bridge like what?
Oh, I think bridge. Wait, no, I'm going to do
bridge. Yeah, yeah.
No, no, I'll let you think aboutit.
Because they're designed. They're.
Designed to. Withstand it, I'm going to say
under the bus. I like talk to myself under that
one bridge. I don't know where you guys were
(47:40):
learning what's safest, but the answer is tunnel.
Tunnels are actually statistically very sound during
earthquakes because they move with the earth.
Fun fact. Challenge.
I'm a challenge you're. Going to challenge.
I'm a challenge. We need, we need to move
quickly, Mitch. Sorry.
(48:01):
You're going to challenge. We have time for this.
We have time for this. I'm going.
To challenge, you're going to challenge?
Yeah. Anybody else going to challenge?
Yeah, I'll let Mitch take this one.
OK, Mitch, wait. It's still in the middle of this
earthquake. Sorry, I'm shaking.
In the the question of what is safest to do tunnel is correct.
(48:21):
So I guess now that we've we've spent all this time, now I'm not
going to say it's the the safestthing all together, but of those
four things, is this interesting?
OK, fair enough. OK.
There's a tunnel ahead. Hurry, we got to get to it.
You're the one driving. I can slow down so you can
challenge. We made it, but the rockslide
(48:47):
has covered the exits. That would have happened on the
bridge, that's what I'm saying. Maybe the bridge fell.
We don't. Maybe it didn't.
We don't know. We.
Don't know. We don't know.
Wow. You know, when we were out
(49:07):
there, I heard laughing as if something, someone incredibly
powerful were playing with us. Maybe, maybe Busty was telling
the truth. Maybe there is some entity out
there that is toying with? Us.
That's what I've been. Saying no, that's probably not
real. I'm sorry, Detective Mitch, I'm
(49:29):
sorry to to call you crazy. Forget me.
But how are we going to get out of here?
All we have is the bus and we need to break through so much
rock. How are we going to get out of
here? Bus.
Train four. Yeah, the bus is the weapon, I
guarantee you. I know.
Let's honk. Let's pull out the journal.
(49:51):
Let's honk the horn. That's great, Mitch.
I like that. Let's.
Move into question 13. The only way we may be able to
get out of here is find and use Busty's weapon.
If it's as powerful as legends say, surely it would help us get
out. But where would Busty put it?
Oh, the My password journal. If we could only find it's
(50:14):
password. What was that?
You. Just you, you were saying,
Mitch? Let's honk the horn.
That's what it said. The sweetest sound.
Yeah, if you say. So you should have said the
sweetest sound, yes? Good job it opened Mitch.
Three points to you. Yes.
Of course, great detective work.I think I'm beginning to see
(50:37):
that things weren't so black andwhite.
Please forgive me for my threats.
No, we can work together to discover what lies inside.
OK. Mitch, would would you like to
read the the diary? Yeah, I'd love to.
All right, All right, Mitch, go ahead.
I already started reading it. Oh, you already read it out
loud? Yes, I've already started.
(51:01):
Thank you. Thanks.
Dear diary, today I made the decision to install the machine
in the front of the bus. I know it's dangerous, but I
couldn't live with myself if I didn't prepare it before we
needed it. To keep it safe, I've hidden the
weapon itself in the dashboard of the bus, with the access
point to it being beneath one ofthe trinkets I have on the bus's
(51:22):
dashboard. However, to control it, I simply
need to follow its instructions and hold the steering wheel.
All I know of its use is that itcomes from an ancient belief of
the four energies, that of Mind,soul, heart, and strength.
Each is needed to power the weapon, and it requires an
offering of each. I still never used it, but if it
(51:43):
truly is a weapon of mass destruction, I need to be
careful of who has access or knows about it.
Who knows what it may do once fired?
Wow. Do you know what he was he was
talking about with where he hid it?
Bobble head. The bobble head.
Yeah, the. Bobble head, of course.
(52:03):
Let's remove that real quick. Oh.
Wow. There's a the top of some kind
of large glowing orb that's built into the front of the bus
and there's an inscription on the orb.
Let me, let me read it. To offer your mind is to offer
the Nexus of your wisdom. Answer correctly or face the
(52:25):
consequences. To offer your soul is to offer
the core of your essence. Rid yourself of complexities or
face the consequences. To offer your heart is to offer
the depths of your humanity. Give of yourself or face the
consequences to offer your strength is to offer the bedrock
(52:47):
of your energy free yourself or face the consequences at.
Least you're. Wow, a trial of four parts to
test our worth, let's split themamongst ourselves.
I will offer my strength. Which of you will offer each of
the others? Mind, soul and heart.
(53:09):
Is is this I'm smelling A cursedmechanic coming from I will.
Who's this Cooper? My name is Detective Sean
Depalma. Well, you know the general, the
general Cooper that watches overassault.
Not to be confused with Baby. That's the alien entity that
(53:30):
the. So one of you must choose mind,
soul or heart. I'll go mind.
Oh Dang. OK bitch.
I'll go soul. I'll do part I guess.
OK, now here's here's what I'm thinking for the mind.
So Mitch, getting either of these next questions wrong will
make you lose half your points. For the soul, speaking in words
(53:57):
greater than one syllable will make you lose half your points.
Nice. And mine or so in hearts.
Choose one person. If they get either question
wrong and you get it right, theyreceive your points.
If you both get a question wrong, then you lose half your
points. What?
(54:19):
But why would I intentionally ifI knew that?
Why would I get a question righteven if I knew the answer?
What? OK, Aiden.
OK, very confused. So I guess Sam, if you get a
question right and Aiden gets itwrong, he gets your points.
If you both get it right, nothing happens, but if you both
(54:39):
get it wrong, you lose half yourpoints.
OK, OK, OK. Aiden's winning.
You should give me the points, that's all I'm saying.
Too late. Oh, come on.
Amazing. Well, I imagine the glowing orb
that was under the Elvis bobblehead may be our ticket to
using the weapon, but it appearsthe control and use of the
(55:01):
weapon is influenced by the flowof energy from within us in the
Kung Fu Panda franchise. My goodness.
This is described as cheat originating from China, which is
the spiritual flow and oneness of energy.
(55:21):
Question 14 In which Kung Fu Panda movie does PO master his
chi? Is it the original 2-3 or four?
I think 3. OK.
Yeah, it wasn't 3 all about chi,It had to be a three J Well,
(55:44):
yeah, well, because like he he like entered, he becomes like a
true dragon roll warrior. So, yeah, and at the beginning,
OK, three I'm going through. OK, Sam.
So is this the question that applies to my heart things?
Both this one and the next one. OK, OK, well, I guess I'll say
3. OK, you are all correct.
(56:07):
It was Kung Fu Panda three. I'm glad you know you're Kung Fu
Panda. Oh yeah, of course.
So other than four, I didn't watch 4.
Screw 4. Wow, it's wow.
He had the major character developments in four that you
missed out on. Apparently no thanks.
It had a kofina in it too. That's the main reason I didn't
(56:31):
watch it. Wow.
OK, now that we that, let's get serious again.
OK now, now that we know the stakes of using the weapon,
let's try to figure out how it works and how it fits into the
puzzle of Busty's death. So first there was a rock fall,
(56:51):
likely caused by whatever is whatever being is tormenting us.
Now. Maybe it was falling debris or
the being itself that made Bustyfinally to use the weapon, and
somehow nobody on the bus itselfwas aware until he was
incapacitated. Question 15.
(57:11):
I think I understand now. This is not a weapon of mass
destruction. This is a weapon of mass
destruction, as in matter. According to Einstein's famous
equation E equals MC squared. Matter can be converted into
incredible amounts of pure energy if its mass were
(57:36):
converted into energy with perfect efficiency.
Which of the following could power the entire earth for a
year? A Blue whales, B elephant, C
horse or D cat. D.
(57:57):
And cat. Cat dance.
Cat dance. OK, so if you converted the mass
of each of these animals. Let me do some math which would.
Would line up with the amount ofenergy used to power the earth
for a year I. Feel like a cat is too small.
(58:18):
I don't know, that's just my. Gut is the horse, the next
smallest one. It went blue whale, elephant,
horse, cat. OK.
There's a lot more mass than. The cat.
I feel like it's something crazyof like, you know, 1G perfectly
converted as like, you know, million or like trillion or I
(58:41):
don't know. So I like the thinking of cat
just to be oh, that's impressivesort of thing.
So I think I'll say Cat. You will say Cat as well.
I see Mitch. Can you give me my options
again? Your options were blue whale,
elephant, horse, and cat. I'm.
Going to go with horse. That's why they call it
(59:02):
horsepower. Of course, of course.
That got me. Mitch, you are correct.
Are you kidding? It is horse.
Are you joking? That's crazy.
Oh my God. Sam, as both you and Aiden got
(59:25):
the question wrong, I will need you to sacrifice half your
points. That's crazy to the orb.
Not mine, right? OK, wait.
Correct. Aiden, you have not spoken in in
more than one syllable, so you may keep yours.
Cool. All right, with that, let's put
this weapon in. What?
If I. Have a round down.
(59:47):
Always round down. You could have half a boy, I'll
allow it. That was a shot in the dark.
That was a complete guess. With that, let's put this weapon
into work and bust out of here. That is why they call a horse
about it. You didn't already.
(01:00:08):
Not yet. You got to hold on.
If you didn't already offer yourpoints and sacrifice.
Put your hand onto the steering wheel to complete your trial.
And now it's my turn to offer mystrength.
(01:00:30):
We did it. Boys, we did what?
The rock is all gone. Wait, do you have cancer of
every kind now? The way is clear, we're safe,
but I don't feel good. You see where specifically?
I think I finally solved the case.
(01:00:51):
Please let me paint a picture ofthe scene That day Busty died.
I believe he rose that morning believing it to be just another
day. It is true that he felt the
great weight of protecting the bus, but that day he was driving
his best friends. He was content.
(01:01:13):
He finally got to introduce himself as the one behind the
wheel. Just after, as his passengers
were distracted by their rules, the being that threatens the bus
1 attacked. He shook the earth, sending
large stones into the road and the bus's path that surely was
(01:01:36):
bound to have killed all the bull.
But Busty, being ever ready to protect his people, gripped the
steering wheel and devoted his entire being, his mind, his
soul, his heart and his strengthall at once to destroy the
rockfall that endangered the bus.
(01:01:57):
As the evil entity surely laughed and blocked the
passengers awareness of the event, Busty focused his chi one
last time and absorbed all the energy that laid in those
boulders. But unable to withhold or dispel
all that he collected, some of the destroyed mass was deposited
(01:02:20):
into him in the form of cancer itself.
No, not every time, Sir. The rocks then, just as now,
disappeared and Busty's light faded.
The bus 1 May have veered off course, but it still drives
today, filled with the laughter and the joy of his passengers
(01:02:46):
because of his sacrifice. Thanks, Busty.
In the same manner, I find that although I only gave a fraction
of my being compared to Busty, Itoo find my strength to be
failing. But fear not my new friends,
I've just enough laughing me to finish up our back today.
(01:03:08):
Can I get a boy? Check.
Yes, Sir, Sir. Yes, Sir, I have. 13 Last boy
check 13. OK.
Man I have 14 shit. 15 Wow. And I have 13 and now 7.
Wow, thank you. Thank you for that extra half
point. You're welcome.
(01:03:30):
Now, I believe we haven't found the challenge question yet.
And if you get it, I know. This is Sam.
Insanely. Can we?
Can we repeat it all? I know you don't have very much
time. I don't have much time but I'll
try. The editor tries.
Oh, thank you, Editor. Here we go.
So they repeated all the questions so they could
(01:03:51):
remember. What they were.
So I don't think it could be anyof the combinations unless there
was like a swap there. I'm sticking with my guns.
I thought this was off since thevery beginning.
I think it's the inductive versus deductive for reasoning
challenge. OK, Sam.
And Sam? I think horse is BS God.
(01:04:15):
I mean, honestly. Horsepower.
I mean, I have to say which animal I think it is.
No, you can just say the question.
I'm sorry, neither of you got itcorrect.
The correct the challenge question was the one about what
you call the different kinds of cancer.
(01:04:37):
Sam, you were correct in the moment.
They are called cancer of unknown priority.
Wow, he had that one blocked. That's crazy.
They're all. They're all like generic
different kinds of cancer that you might be able to see under a
microscope, but you cannot tell that it's this cell or this
cell. So the doctor was on it saying
(01:04:57):
every kid. That's.
He still stretched it a bit, butOK with that.

(01:06:24):
Vert for the use of our theme song 5978, which is a certified
killer. Thanks for riding Bus 1 and
we'll see you next week. Guys, I'll do you all favor.
(01:06:44):
I'll be taking this weapon. I'll take care of it.
No, no. No.
No, it stays in the butt. We never know when we're going.
To need. That's a good point.
Wait, do we have to solve the murder of?
OK, let's start from the top. So Detective John De Palma, FBI
agent, had a secret diary where he was keeping track of all of
(01:07:07):
Busty's, like, whereabouts. And then what happened is he
brought these three losers who definitely didn't kill him.
He killed himself on his own. Relation by Aiden Aiden, the guy
just died. Why do we have to open this case
right now? We got to prove ourselves
innocent, Mitch. We're the three suspects.
It's very. Clear He died of cancer of every
(01:07:29):
kind. Of every kind of hell we're
going to have to cover this up, I'm going to call my contacts at
Girl Tech.
Where are you headed today? I'm.
Going downtown to the. Police station.
OK, that's not normally a stop for me, but nobody else seems to
be out in this weather right now, so I'll try to get you as
close as I can. Anyway, welcome aboard Bus. 4
(00:32):
Sorry, what did you just say? I said welcome aboard the bus,
Sean. That's your, that's on your name
tag. It is Sean.
Right. Oh, oh, yeah, it is.
And thanks, I appreciate it. You new to town, Sean?
(01:10):
Just landed, going to going to be here a few days.
Look, I'm sorry if I'm out of place, but are you here to look
into that bus driver's death from a few months ago?
I I really can't talk about open.
(01:30):
Cases. I know, I know.
It's, it's just ever since all that happened, my wife, she's,
she's been a mess thinking that it's somebody targeted bus
drivers. Our community just hasn't been
at peace since it all happened. It's just nice to see that some
(01:52):
progress may be made here soon. Well, I'll try my best to give
you some answers. Thank you, Sean.
We're at the police station now.Good luck.
(02:21):
Hey y'all, it's Busty the bus driver here.
It's busty, our bus driver. He's he's.
Dead. If you're watching this it means
I've died. I'm actually saying just beg
someone or something might be after me.
(02:44):
Strange things are starting to happen.
You know what? Just in case, if my death seems
a little premature, just promiseme that you'll.
(03:23):
Good evening gentlemen. My name is Detective Sean De
Palma. I know I'm just some fed to you
local boys, but I assure you I am simply here to shed some new
light on the busty the bus driver case and I just have a
hunch that we are on our way to soften it.
(03:44):
How about you boys introduce yourselves?
What's up everyone? It's Aidan.
Hello, my name is Mitch. And I'm Sam.
Hello Aidan, Mitch and Sam. Now, I know you detectives have
been working on this case for some time now, but I was sent
(04:08):
just to make sure we're being thorough.
I know a lot of this will go over the same evidence again,
but please just remain with me if, if you want, we can even
make it again. For example, here could be the
rules. 3 rounds of five questions each going in value
during each round. There will be no buzzer, but
(04:30):
remain quick. There will still be times where
the points may only be awarded to the wittiest detective, but
be also on the lookout. Obviously, we don't have all the
answers or else we would have solved the case by now.
It could be very well that something we've fought to be
true all along is it? If you find one of these
(04:52):
challenging answers, I'll give you 3 more points.
Hell, if you find it in the middle of the investigation,
I'll go ahead and give you the points for the question and take
one point away from each of yourfellow detectives.
But if you slow us down by challenging something that is
true after all, I'll have no choice but to take three points
(05:16):
from you. Finally, I know your boys may
like you Google, but this is a complicated and sensitive case,
so I'll ask that you refrain from using it so we can focus on
the evidence itself rather than surfing the interwebs.
That sound good? Then on to round one, reviewing
(05:41):
the busty files During this round, each question is worth
one point each. Okay, I suppose we ought to
start with the case file. Let's see Buster for Bustington
the 8th AKA Busty was driving the bus one on January 30th 2025
when he suddenly became non responsive.
(06:04):
It's Busty, our bus driver. Causing the bus to crash.
No signs of foul play were foundon arrival at the scene dead.
That's it. That's the whole case report I
see here. We have a box of things
pertaining to this busty case. This is even rather empty, isn't
(06:25):
it? Just a few photographs of the
scene and busty's autopsy. The bus, one that was involved
in the crash, was impounded justover there in the warehouse.
We have yet to release it again since the accident, so the folks
from the bus have been using a rental in the meantime.
Oh, yeah, And we have this big old chest here with A5 letter
(06:48):
combination lock that we got from Busty's residence.
OK, well, as we begin, I want toact not only as a guide, but as
a mentor. I want to improve your detective
skills. And where better to begin than
to turn to the stories of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur
(07:09):
Conan Doyle? Question one Sherlock Holmes is
a champion of using deductive reasoning, but what is the
difference between deductive reasoning and inductive
reasoning? I think I know.
Yes, Detective Aiden. Is it deductive reasoning?
(07:29):
Is you're using you're using allthe facts, all the evidence, and
using that to build towards the conclusion.
Where isn't inductive reasoning?You start from the conclusion
and work backwards, like you assume something's true and then
figuring it out in reverse of how it happened.
OK, are there any other answers?What can I say?
(07:50):
I'm the wittiest detective. Let me try something.
Let me try something so reductive and inductive.
Deductive and inductive. Oh, and inductive, can you say
those two again, Sorry. Deductive.
Really. Inductive and de reductive?
Never mind. Activated we have to stay on
pause. Never mind.
Oh. You don't answer.
(08:10):
Can you suck on his answer? I miser you, I miser you.
Can you either find the terms? Of it to the fun.
Yeah, can you actually define the 2?
Terms for me please. Can you?
Use it in a sentence well. I'll I'll let you know as part
of the question, Sherlock Holmesused deductive recent and that
(08:31):
was the the big thing that he England, I guess he's from
England. OK, I'll.
Go. Ahead, I don't have this just.
Gave up as far. As I know I'm so abrupt is
inductive reasoning, you're taking like very specific
practical observations, startingwith those and then using them
(08:53):
to work towards a conclusion where like deductive reasoning,
you're starting with the broad stroke.
So like a theory or like a general principle or something,
and then you're applying them tospecific or cases or whatever
and using that to reach a conclusion.
I see. I see in Mitch, do you have any
answer? The best I can say is 1 is you
(09:16):
present a bunch of theories and like prove them false until you
get to 1 that you can't prove false.
And then the other is like you take all the evidence, take all
the evidence and then you try tothink of the best theory that
fits those pieces of evidence. That's that's my only guess.
I think you all were on the right track.
I believe Sam was the only one who lined them up correctly.
(09:39):
So deductive reasoning uses a hypothesis and uses evidence to
fill the gaps. This is a top down approach,
while inductive reasoning uses to build up a case or a bottom
up. So I believe, Aiden, you might
have actually gotten it backwards.
Yeah, I was thinking of like a math proof by induction where
you say assume this is true and then you hit all the reasons why
(10:02):
it's not. So that sounds like that might
be off the opposite of what the reasoning really is and.
Why is it called a proof by induction?
I have no idea. I'm a detective, I'm not a math
major. OK.
But knowing this now, just remember, don't let your
(10:22):
hypothesis dictate what you see in the evidence.
Confirmation bias can lead you to see your own conclusions and
evidence that they don't support.
You know that Sherlock Holmes really was something, wasn't he?
You know, I once visited Rockenbach Falls where Sherlock
Holmes defeated Moriarty. They both leapt from the edge of
(10:46):
the falls to their demise. It's a valiant way to go, to
sacrifice yourself, to bring down your enemy with you.
But nowadays the the pathway nearby the falls has eroded
away. Eroded away.
Wait a damn minute, boys. I've got something on this
(11:11):
picture of the scene of the crash.
Do you see the holes in the fence on the side of the road
there on the base of the Cliff? My keen observations allow me to
spot the holes in the fence thatlooks.
Like a scree, talus deposits. Now help me out.
In which of the following mass wasting, such as landslides
(11:33):
would we see this kind of debris?
A rockslide, B creep, C slump, or D rock fall.
I was hitting all these in the club last night.
Rock Slide. You were hitting the rock slide.
I was, I wasn't hitting the Creek, thank you very much.
(11:55):
But. I'm going to go with rock.
I'm going to go with Rock Fall personally.
I got you. Got you.
So that was D Aiden Sam, do you have any answers?
I'm going to go with slump because I have no idea but that
one. Sounds cool, so nice.
This doesn't look creepy to me. I will go rock slide.
OK, Mitch, that point will go toyou.
This is an example of rockfall. Rockfall is where you have
(12:19):
single rocks or or or small boulders falling down the side
of the side of a Cliff, while the others are more short term
movement of mass or much larger like a rock side is much larger.
Now there's rocks. There's quite a bit of rocks on
the side of the road, but there's no sign of any in the
(12:41):
road that the bus may have hit. Strange is.
That a guy. I believe that's a picture of
one of the police officers that is run into the bus.
Can I get his badge? Number.
I believe that's in the in the case file if you.
OK, I'll go. I'll go look.
Strange though. Come on boys.
Perhaps with this new evidence we should inspect the bus itself
(13:05):
for any signs of this rockfall. Rock damage, yeah.
Look at that, there are some small dents on the hood and tiny
cracks on the windshield, but this didn't cause the crash
itself. How strange.
But stranger yet, I I guess Busty enjoys keeping a bobble
head of Elvis on the dashboard. Me too.
(13:28):
Busty never seemed like the bobble head tap, but I guess
there's plenty of reasons to have a bobble head on the dash.
Question 3. Which of the following is a
reason that truck drivers put bobble heads on the dashboard
other than just being a trinket?And these are long potential
answers, so make sure you pay attention.
(13:48):
Strap it A. Increased bobblehead shaking is
an early warning sign of imminent engine failure.
B Bobblehead movement is proven to be mentally stimulating for
drivers on straight roads and help keep them awake.
That's right, C Bobblehead shaking is more finely able to
(14:12):
show tire imbalances that the driver can't feel or D when
driving on ice roads, the bobbleheads shake more when the truck
speed is starting to cause pressure waves that could break
the ice. Pressure waves, you say?
I'm. Going to go with C.
That's tough. That was the same tile
(14:33):
imbalances. Like if he's, if, if Elvis is
hitting it to the left a little too much, you're like, oh, I
need to, I need to do that. Pressure to the left, you say?
I'm going to go with I think engine.
Trouble. Yeah.
(14:54):
I see that. Was a a.
Well, those were the two I was going to go for because I don't
think mentally stimulating is the reason, so I'll say DI
thought. Just because it was fun.
That's what I thought. But let's.
Swing. It just because it's, you know,
whatever. Well, Detective Aiden, you are
correct. Wow, yeah, I knew that.
(15:16):
Sorry, what? Was D again.
D Pressure waves ice. So, so when truckers are driving
on ice roads such as in like Alaska, if they drive too slow,
then obviously they could break the ice.
But if you drive too fast, then the pressure waves of the of the
car driving on the on the ice could cause pressure waves to
(15:37):
break the ice they're driving on.
So a bottle head shows when they're starting to drive too
fast. Yeah, it's.
Interesting, that makes sense because Busty travels all over
the world, right? That he never.
Knows the weather condition is. Going to get how absolutely true
I want to, I want to call this one into discussion for a
potential red herring because itcould have a big impact on us
(15:58):
finding out how the bus crashed potential.
Interesting. OK, that may that's that may be
a good point. Like was it engine failure?
Could it have been engine failure?
Could it have been a a tire pressure tire failure?
Exactly. I love this discussion.
Let's think about this one. I do want to I do want to point
(16:19):
something out that I I noticed here on the dashboard that this
bobblehead seemed to be glued toa panel of some kind that's on
the dash. We well, let's let's keep
moving, looking around for now. Detectives, what is that hidden
under the driver's seat? Why that looks like a my
(16:40):
password journal. And this is my password journal.
It only opens to my voice. Question four.
If I remember correctly, that journal has some of the most
loctite voice. That's right.
Password. That's right.
Locks ever seen in a toy? I hear the Presidential Book of
(17:03):
Secrets is actually one of these.
I've heard this. I work for the government.
I can neither the nuclear. Code the nuclear codes are in
that. 2nd Mr. President, Mr. President, the nuclear codes.
Let me give you my journal. All right, question 4 Created by
(17:24):
Janice Swanson of Girl Tech. The My Password journal was
accompanied by many other voice related toys.
Which of the following is not a toy?
Also developed by Janice Swanson.
A the Yak Back, B the Talk Boy, C the Blabby Baby, or D the
(17:46):
Snoop Stopper Keepsake Box, which is not which is not.
Also developed by Jenny Swanson.The blabby baby the Snoop
stopper sneak peek box or keepsake Snoop stopper keepsake
box. Thank you.
That's a. Talkback and the talk boy.
No way, it's a talk, boy. Yeah, that's what I was
(18:07):
thinking. Is that the thing from Home
Alone right? Oh.
I'm going to go with the baby baby Babble Babble baby.
Baby, baby, baby. Yeah, blabby baby.
That's right, purple. People Eater.
That's right. Same in Aiden, same in a I.
Was going to go with the talk. Boy, I was going to go with the
talk boy because Girl Tech wouldnot make something called the
(18:29):
Talk Boy. Well, I can't say it was Girl
Tech. This is Janice Swanson.
She may not have been with Girl Tech at that time.
She was now oh, Janice Swanson shopped her job, hopped a.
Little bit she was a major inventor of of different toys.
So she was just the founder of Girl Tech.
(18:51):
Not sure if that clarification makes.
I'm still locked in. Yeah, I.
Yeah, OK. Well Mitch, you are correct.
The live baby was made-up by myself.
What was the talk, boy? The talk boy, you are correct,
it was in Home Alone too. Yeah.
They had a major point in the plot.
(19:11):
Now I I would deduce that this my password journal may be
Busty's. Perhaps if there were strange
things going on in his life beforehand, then we could find
it in there. Without his password, we'll
never be able to get in. It's like Fort Knox.
Keep it. Keep an eye out for something
(19:33):
that it could be. Well, we looked pretty
thoroughly. Is there any more evidence we
need to look at? Oh.
Of course, the autopsy. Probably.
Should that? Probably.
Should check that out I've. Written down girl tech killed
busty for corporate cover up question.
Question. Be careful of where your where
(19:56):
your hypothesis may take things.We should probably check that
autopsy even if there's no initial signs of foul play.
Oh oh wow. Somehow it looks like the
autopsy shows that. Busty had cancer that had
metastasized throughout his entire body.
(20:20):
Except the hands and feet. Except.
And I mean everywhere he had that full body cancer.
Every kind. Well, I guess here's a question
about cancer. Kind every.
Well, question 5 Generally, my God, generally a cancer is named
(20:42):
from where? Generally a cancer is named from
where it starts, even if it spreads elsewhere.
But when doctors can't determinethe start location or there are
multiple potential start locations, which of the
following is how the cancer is named?
It says every kind on the report, so is it not just that?
(21:05):
Well, that was the the doctor must have been taking some.
Liberties. Is that a good doctor?
So how? How is the cancer named if you
don't know where it started? Is it?
A It is named for the location with the most cancerous mass?
B It is named for the first location it is found or the 1st
to show symptoms. C Cancers are different enough
(21:28):
from each other. You can always determine its
origin under a microscope, or D the cancer goes unnamed.
It's just cancer. I'm going to go with C.
Because isn't it? It's mutated versions of a
certain cell. Right, because different cells
are different. Different cells are different.
(21:54):
I don't have a major. I don't either.
Let me call, Let me call my biology friend, I'm thinking.
More I was thinking more D in terms of I swear I've heard
like. It's just called.
Cancer of unknown origin before and they just, you know, they
don't try to name it based on like where it was found or
something. Now this is just saying like it
(22:14):
would be genetically named cancer.
Like they wouldn't even give it any kind of name.
Yeah, that's what I'm feeling. Busty is AO negative blood.
That's cool. Nice.
That's right, universal, universal donor.
Hey, look, we got our money's worth that unless he had, well,
he had every kind. So he had blood cancer.
He probably can't, probably can't give blood when you have
(22:35):
cancer. Have a world.
What a cruel, cruel world. Well, I'll differentiate myself.
I'll just say it's where the where the like where it first
shows up. I see, Mitch, you said.
See that is. Correct.
Oh my God, I'm going to. Kill him just or.
I mean, I mean. You better watch yourself,
Detective Mitch. So OK, now just as cells of
(22:58):
different parts of the body can be identified, the cancer from
each area is unique. So when they say cancer, every
kind, it's really actually multiple different types of
cancer. That's right.
Well, I I mean this you autopsy seems to show that he died from
cancer of the whole body. Oh.
(23:20):
Can you have like lung cancer inother places or once it moves to
another organ, does it become that type of cancer?
I believe it's still called lungcancer since that's where it
started, but in situations wherejust right metastasized, little
do our contestants know. That this was the fake answer.
(23:44):
Looks like they were fooled thistime.
So I guess it's hard to argue foul play when he died from
cancer, but. Or the doctors.
Doesn't it seem like there's still more to this case?
Yeah, I mean it, it says that itcame to a halt eventually, but
he didn't have cancer in his feet or his hands.
(24:05):
I mean, that's. Who's that pathologist up there?
I can't quite. Read that.
I don't know if we should now. It may just been a difficulty
coloring inside the lines issue then purposefully leaving the
hands and feet. Who was the pathologist on
there? Can't quite read it, it seems to
be in Doctor's handwriting. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
(24:29):
That's OK, That was. Can we get our resident doctor
handwriting expert on this one? He's out of town.
He's out of town right now. But at this point here, let's
let's take a break and do a point check in an audience
question and then we'll get backto it.
All right, let's start with a point check.
How are we? How are we doing?
1. I have one. 3.
(24:52):
Raising that away deep tip. That has three.
Wow. Wow.
Well, with this, we'll we'll throw it over to the audience
question so the audience can getinvolved in the investigation.
Busty. Files recording 039 suspect
wheels. The wheel This is.
(25:14):
Detective Hugh done it and afterpouring over the evidence I have
to say I am stumped on this case.
I've investigated plenty of suspects and even pulled our
audience, but not one of them knew even the simplest facts of
the case. Like the bird named after the
wind contraption we were lookingfor was the kite.
Looks like good cop isn't dealing out any audience points
(25:37):
this week. But now we're going to question
a suspect who knew Busty pretty well.
Wheels, listen, man, I told you I just go round and round.
I don't know anything that happened to busting saving.
Wheels, I know you 2 worked together back in the day Yeah,
we worked together, but. You know, it was more of a
(25:59):
friendly rivalry. Thing I mean, I didn't beat
about for the mascot spot, but there was no bad blood between
us. I wasn't going to do anything to
him. That's what they've all said
Wheels, but I sure got to be sure.
Well, what can I tell you? How can I help you out?
Well, Wheels, maybe you would help me out to know just how
familiar you are with Busty. How many Bus 1 trivia episodes
(26:24):
has Busty appeared on? Hey, man, you know, I don't
know. I'm just on the outside of the
bus going round and round. I don't interact with all those
insiders too often. That's interesting, Wheels.
Seems like you didn't have too much interaction with them.
Yeah, that's what I'm telling you, man.
I mean, we see. Each other every once in awhile,
but. I guess what goes ran comes ran
(26:46):
well, seems like wheels won't bemuch help, but I still need this
key piece of information for thecase.
If anyone knows how many episodes Busty the Bus Driver
has appeared on, please submit an anonymous tip through the
comments under the episode on Spotify, YouTube or our
Instagram at Bus 1 Trivia. And there will be a reward of 1
(27:07):
audience point for any evidence helping us to convict.
We're also going to need to get the word out if we're going to
solve this mystery, so make sureyou share with a friend or
family member. It would really help us out now.
Let's get back to the case detectives.
I just remembered there's that chest with the five letter
(27:30):
combination lock. Surely there's something more
there. Now, just above the lock itself
are the words do not. What could that mean, and what
is that there? What?
Burned into the top of the chestitself are a string of some
weird letters and characters. It looks like an AT sign from
(27:53):
e-mail addresses followed by thewords busty under score of under
score DA under score bus. Busty, busty of the bus.
And and it had the AT sign at the beginning.
At Busty at the Bus, we should check out your social media.
(28:13):
Can I Instagram? Yeah, we should check out his
social media. Instagram, you said go ahead, go
ahead. Oh my God, you've been to the
Instagram play? Actually, this is nuts, Busty.
I'm surprised it didn't show up on my suggested like, Oh my God.
Followed by bustling trivia. Yeah.
I'm going to follow it too. I'm automatically following it.
(28:34):
So he followed. He was already following me.
Sorry, what? You.
Follow Busty. Who's it following?
It's not following me. The wheels has an account too.
Awesome. Wait, what do you mean the
wheels? We are mascot wheels.
I. Got round and round.
I just Google. I just googled.
Instagram. Dot com as well and I see it.
(28:58):
Rest in peace, Dennis Quaid. Hold on, hold on.
Now let's let's get into it together.
Let's get into it together. OK, OK.
When I go to www.instagram.com and search for this string of
characters, I found a profile that seems to be his and his
Last Post seems to have been just before the crash.
(29:19):
Let's see it says this bus 1. Nobody can crack a case like
you. I know that if I ever need
anything, you wouldn't hesitate to help.
Even from the first letter I sent in my heart and in my
chest, I know you will see what needs to be done.
(29:40):
Then there's five other posts would be the. 1st to like this.
Well, let's get into Round 2, breaking the case wide open.
During this round, each questionis worth 2 points each, so let's
go through the different posts that Busty made just before he
died. Let's see question six.
(30:04):
Rest in peace, Dennis Quaid. I always enjoyed your movies,
especially when you played astronaut Gordon Gordo Cooper in
this 1983 movie about the astronauts of NASA's Mercury
program. What movie is he referring to
He. Played.
(30:24):
Gordo. Oh shoot, I don't know dude.
I've been watching For All Mankind in that quarter.
Cooper's in that, but I don't I don't know this movie.
Is this multiple choice busty? I have no from.
The grave. You're asking Busty from.
The grave. Anybody.
Anybody got any? Any idea?
(30:45):
Absolutely no idea. OK, well, if nobody has any
ideas, let me see. I I think I've seen this movie.
I think it's the right stuff. Does not.
Ring a bell? The right stuff.
Oh well. Never seen that.
Movie, yes. No points for that one.
OK. All right next to the busty.
(31:05):
'S. Busty's sorry, Dennis.
Great. Rest in peace.
Rest in peace. I watched the bear chat
recently. I watched the last week.
That one's for you. All right, on to the next
question. Question 7.
I'll never forget when I was considered for the Bus 1 mascot.
An immense honor to be nominatedand Congrats again to at Wheels
(31:27):
Gone Round for winning. He's at least better than La
Boosie, the rabbit like mascot for the Sabadell transit system
of this country. La boosie.
La boosie. What country would have
something so? Dumb.
So this is a nightmare creature.Is this going to be on the next
(31:50):
Krypton's episode? It does start with La La So
love, yeah. Detective Aiden, if you want to
describe what you're seeing. Yeah, so it's like the Rabbids
from Mario Rabbits. Right.
Kind of, but it's like a transitmap body and then like a creepy
joker smile. That's the joke.
(32:11):
I think I got it. I think I got it.
I'm gonna, I was gonna say. Spain.
I'm gonna say Spain too. Those kids look Spain or Spain.
Spain. Those kids look Spain.
Am I wrong? Are you saying Detective Sam?
I think Sam at all, I think it'sin Catalonia because I was like
looking, don't ask me why, but looking into their independence
request. The.
(32:33):
Other day. Leave it to Sam.
They have some obscure politicalOK they've been.
Trying for years but I'm also thinking Spain.
Now you boys, I think you're correct.
It is Spain. OK, on to question eight.
Let me read it here. I've driven around some famous
(32:53):
people before, but being able todrive around the eyes of God
from F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, how am I going to
beat meeting this doctor? DJ Eckelberg, sorry I said it
when it showed up, realized the question.
Sam and Mitch, do you have any ideas?
I'll give it to Aiden. All right.
(33:14):
Then Aiden. I wouldn't have known.
Eckelberg is correct. DJ.
Nice job, Aiden. Thanks, love me some Gatsby.
All right. Two points to you on that one.
Is the Valley of Ashes still around?
Like this was posted nine hours ago?
Don't look at that. All.
(33:36):
Right, on to question 9. Hey guys.
Hey guys. Is it kind of weird we never
mentioned how Logan was like full on evil and all powerful
for that one bus ride? Like I'll let bygones be
bygones, but we didn't really doanything about it afterwards.
(33:58):
Honestly I only thought of this because I was watching
DreamWorks Megamind and this cameraman guy who gets powers
and becomes temporarily evil kind of reminded me of Logan.
Yeah, they look similar. I would like to do a point of
order that he was always evil, the powers just made him feel
more. That's right, being a Dick.
That's right, Aiden. Thank you.
(34:18):
This is this is Busty who wrote this?
Yeah, that's right. Not to speak I'll of the dead,
but Busty maybe? Like, did you shoot me your
media? A little more did not.
Understand the deep. Themes behind Megamind.
Megamind is deep. OK, Yeah.
OK any any ideas? So the name has.
Name. The camera when he becomes a a
(34:42):
super villain. Oh, I remember that.
OK, Yeah. Oh, when he becomes a A.
Hero's life villain. Yes, I think I got it, yeah.
OK, go ahead. Al Stewart, right?
You know, like the name of the superhero.
That's just isn't it. No his his superhero name.
Let's say it together, Aden. Yeah, 321.
(35:04):
Titan Titan, but spelled T. ITHATE.
N. That's right.
OK, Sam. Sam knew it.
OK, OK. Damn, knew it.
That that is correct his name. Was Titan.
OK. And finally, on to Question 10.
A bit of love to my 2 beautiful Scarlet Macaws.
(35:27):
Diane and Charlie. Look at their vibrant feathers
here. Did you know Macaws have been
important to the peoples of North and South America for
millennia, even though they are definitively from South America?
As early as 300 AD, Scarlet Macaws were traded through the
indigenous peoples as north as this mountainous western US
(35:51):
state. Intuitively, I'm thinking New
Mexico. I'm gonna go with that.
I see. I see.
Feel like they're not gonna be able to survive like 2 N right?
I don't know though. Colorado.
OK. I'm gonna say.
California. OK, yes, the mountainous state
(36:13):
of California. Yes, they're mountains in
California. Yeah, but I wouldn't call it.
Mountainous. In all honesty, watch me be
right, Cooper. Tell me I'm right.
Sorry, I don't believe any of you are.
We'll try again. Go ahead, you have any more
ideas? No.
No more ideas, no more states today.
I'll say Arizona. Why not?
(36:36):
OK. Also famously mountainous.
Western. Maybe he meant it was a northern
western US state. You know, actually, I didn't
think about that, Chief Wyoming.Yeah, let's, let's take.
You didn't insinuate that it hadto be a northern state within
the US, just that it was relatively.
North doesn't have to be within the US.
(36:58):
That's so smart, Sam. It could be in Canada.
Wow, you detectives truly are right.
British Columbia. OK, so I'm thinking Utah.
Now, did we say Wyoming? I was going to say Wyoming, but
if you want to say Wyoming, I'llgo even northern.
(37:19):
OK, let's take a break here and and discuss what what do you
think these answers are are leading us to?
What? So.
It seems Busty was trying to lead us down a path of of
solving something with. These.
The right stuff, the right stuff, the good stuff.
I already forgot the movie that I've never seen it was.
(37:40):
Right. Stuff The right stuff.
Spain. TJ Eckelberg.
TJ Yes. Oh, the first letter?
Wasn't there something to do with the first letter?
Yeah, there's there's six, but it was a five letter
combination. Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, yeah. But there were six tools, but it
was the. Five.
One of them is like. Yeah, yeah, he got this gamer.
OK, let me pull up the SO. OK.
(38:01):
That's very. Smart the right stuff or is it
right stuff Comma the? Probably comma the if I would,
if I would bust it, I would justbe Commodore, right?
So yeah, Rs T. And then the last one.
That doesn't make that doesn't spell a word.
(38:24):
Maybe we have to scramble them around, so maybe the last one is
a vowel of some kind. Well, it looks like it could be
trusts if it's Utah TRU or trustif it's Utah.
I like that, Sam. I like that.
Sam, I think you're correct. Let's give you the point for
for. Just like stumbled and.
Oh, correct it. Could be different if it's Ohio.
(38:48):
All right, I think Utah is correct.
Let me let me put it in here. It.
Could be, I don't know. Let's try trust.
Actually, no. Trust didn't quite work.
Let's. Try trust that did it.
Wow. All right.
(39:10):
Boys. Why do you got a gun?
Why do you have a gun? Let's have the lot of you line
up over there where I can see your.
Heads He's a small town detective, but he's actually a
criminal. Do you work hate?
Do you work for girl tech via? I'd hate to ruin this fun, but
it's time to be serious now. Can we get serious now?
(39:33):
I am from the government. But you see, we have suspicions
that Busty had obtained a weaponof mass destruction.
Wow, sorry. We're being serious.
We're being serious. I admit that I was beginning to
badger him some time before his death for the details, but I've
come to retrieve and destroy it once and for all for the safety
(39:55):
of our country. You're badgering.
Him all right over there. You knew.
He had every cancer. Hey, let me see those hands.
Let me see those hands. All right, I'm going to open the
case. Here we go.
What there's There's only a couple of papers in here.
There's no weapon. Well, the pen is mightier than
(40:18):
the sword. Well, yeah, Sam, get those hands
up. Get those hands up.
Sam, come over here and read theletter that that Busty put in
the chest. Dear Bus 1, I knew you would
solve my riddles. Ever since this federal agent
guy showed up at my door and started asking me questions
about some weapon of mass destruction, I have felt so
(40:40):
uneasy. It all started about a year ago
when my grandpa passed away. In his will he left me what he
called a tool that our ancestorshad bestowed upon our lineage.
And I guess long ago some kind of aliens appeared to one of my
Bustington forefathers and told him about some kind of
incredibly powerful and magical creature that was set on
(41:04):
destroying the world in the future.
So he created something that could supposedly defeat it or
anything that endangered us Bustingtons.
Not long after, and I don't knowhow they found out about it,
this fence starts coming around asking pointed questions like he
knew something about it. So I I hit it, I can only
imagine that I must also keep itsafe, like my father's father
(41:28):
before me. If you find this letter, I am
likely gone. I'm sorry I had to go like this,
but just know, the sweetest sound in the world to me was
that horn as I called you all aboard.
I would do anything to protect that, and I hope you would too.
Don't let this tool fall into the wrong hands.
That's so sweet. Now that letter made me sound
(41:51):
bad. I'm not evil.
I'm not evil. I hope you understand that in
the time since I found out aboutBussy's weapon, I have also
found a string of curious deathsconnected to your bus.
One group you have been closely related to multiple instances of
murders that have occurred on your bus.
(42:12):
Not to mention there was that runaway bus incident that
resulted in many deaths as well.We don't need to talk about
that. Your final kill count was 1
billion and 41 kill. I am here to put a stop to this
madness once and for all, starting with locating that
(42:33):
weapon. You know what?
While I got your attention, let's do a point check.
I have 7. I have 5 seven. 5. 7. 757 where
I was a close. Game.
It's almost 597. Is that something?
Is that anything? Is that anything?
(42:53):
All right. Well, we're going to, we're
going to move on to to round 3, which I'm titling cleaning up
loose ends. I don't know, no.
I'm not loose ends each question.
I'm so tight, I'm so tight each.Question is worth 3 points each.
(43:15):
All right, everyone on the bus. If the weapon isn't in this
chest, then he must have hidden it there.
We're going on the move. Who's?
Driving. I'm going to drive.
I'm handcuffing you all up. We're all getting handcuffed,
all right? Now that everyone is handcuffed
in their seats, we can be civil again.
(43:37):
I'm putting away my firearm. Look, it's nothing against you
folks. The ancient weapon of mass
destruction has been an urban legend within the government for
decades, and the power it can supposedly harness is
unparalleled. If that weapon is somewhere on
this bus, as I suspect it is, then even if I don't find it, I
(44:00):
just need to destroy it for the sake of national security.
You know you're going to destroythe bus.
You know, there's a bridge near near here that I think will
just. Do a trick.
Don't do it. If you'd like to be done with
all this nonsense then you can help me rid ourselves of it, but
if you'd rather go down with theship then help me then so be it.
(44:21):
Wait, what about the alien creature that's going to destroy
the Earth and we need this? You don't believe you?
Really believe that That crazy letter that Busty wrote about an
alien creature? No, definitely not guys at Star
Gang. I think he's talking about Star
Gang. Oh shit, you're right.
Down here to show I'm serious about what I'm talking about,
(44:44):
let's do a question on weapons of mass destruction.
That's right, That's right, question 11.
The most concise definition of aweapon of mass destruction is
given in the acronym NBC, which denotes the three main kinds.
(45:09):
What are these categories of weapons of mass destruction?
It's the most succinct, not justweapon of mass destruction.
No, these are different categories of weapon of mass
destruction. NBC.
I'm going to write. I got it.
I got. It no, no.
I'll give Detective Mitch some time to no, not to come.
Up with the I got the N in this I.
(45:31):
Learned this in a class. So you understand how serious
this? Is I got it.
OK, go ahead, Detective Sam. OK.
I think it's nuclear, biologicaland chemical.
Yeah. I agree with.
That that is correct. You all get 3 points.
Nice. Let's go.
Very nice. We're working together already.
(45:52):
So we're serious about this. We're serious about this.
Do you know what type this one is?
I I've. Only heard urban legend that
it's very powerful, but I do notknow now we're we're driving.
Look, look over there. We're passing the crash scene
and the rock fall we saw earlier.
Something must have caused that,right?
(46:13):
It it could have been Busty's weapon.
Whoa. The ground is is shaking.
Is that distant laughing I hear?Laughing.
Oh my God, there's more rocks falling.
This is an earthquake of some kind.
(46:33):
Question 12 Detectives, we need to work together here quickly of
the following Which is the safest for us to do during an
earthquake? A drive under an overpass, B
drive into a tunnel, C drive across a bridge or D pull over
(46:56):
and hide under the bus. What are the?
Which of those is safest? Oh, that's tough.
I'm going to go with. Dee.
I was. That's tough.
Why weren't you driving? To a tunnel, it's like the
that's the. Worst case scenario.
Right, stay away. Like over Beth, terrible, like
(47:19):
anything that puts something over you, I think is a terrible,
terrible, terrible idea. Everything.
Comes a. Bridge like what?
Oh, I think bridge. Wait, no, I'm going to do
bridge. Yeah, yeah.
No, no, I'll let you think aboutit.
Because they're designed. They're.
Designed to. Withstand it, I'm going to say
under the bus. I like talk to myself under that
one bridge. I don't know where you guys were
(47:40):
learning what's safest, but the answer is tunnel.
Tunnels are actually statistically very sound during
earthquakes because they move with the earth.
Fun fact. Challenge.
I'm a challenge you're. Going to challenge.
I'm a challenge. We need, we need to move
quickly, Mitch. Sorry.
(48:01):
You're going to challenge. We have time for this.
We have time for this. I'm going.
To challenge, you're going to challenge?
Yeah. Anybody else going to challenge?
Yeah, I'll let Mitch take this one.
OK, Mitch, wait. It's still in the middle of this
earthquake. Sorry, I'm shaking.
In the the question of what is safest to do tunnel is correct.
(48:21):
So I guess now that we've we've spent all this time, now I'm not
going to say it's the the safestthing all together, but of those
four things, is this interesting?
OK, fair enough. OK.
There's a tunnel ahead. Hurry, we got to get to it.
You're the one driving. I can slow down so you can
challenge. We made it, but the rockslide
(48:47):
has covered the exits. That would have happened on the
bridge, that's what I'm saying. Maybe the bridge fell.
We don't. Maybe it didn't.
We don't know. We.
Don't know. We don't know.
Wow. You know, when we were out
(49:07):
there, I heard laughing as if something, someone incredibly
powerful were playing with us. Maybe, maybe Busty was telling
the truth. Maybe there is some entity out
there that is toying with? Us.
That's what I've been. Saying no, that's probably not
real. I'm sorry, Detective Mitch, I'm
(49:29):
sorry to to call you crazy. Forget me.
But how are we going to get out of here?
All we have is the bus and we need to break through so much
rock. How are we going to get out of
here? Bus.
Train four. Yeah, the bus is the weapon, I
guarantee you. I know.
Let's honk. Let's pull out the journal.
(49:51):
Let's honk the horn. That's great, Mitch.
I like that. Let's.
Move into question 13. The only way we may be able to
get out of here is find and use Busty's weapon.
If it's as powerful as legends say, surely it would help us get
out. But where would Busty put it?
Oh, the My password journal. If we could only find it's
(50:14):
password. What was that?
You. Just you, you were saying,
Mitch? Let's honk the horn.
That's what it said. The sweetest sound.
Yeah, if you say. So you should have said the
sweetest sound, yes? Good job it opened Mitch.
Three points to you. Yes.
Of course, great detective work.I think I'm beginning to see
(50:37):
that things weren't so black andwhite.
Please forgive me for my threats.
No, we can work together to discover what lies inside.
OK. Mitch, would would you like to
read the the diary? Yeah, I'd love to.
All right, All right, Mitch, go ahead.
I already started reading it. Oh, you already read it out
loud? Yes, I've already started.
(51:01):
Thank you. Thanks.
Dear diary, today I made the decision to install the machine
in the front of the bus. I know it's dangerous, but I
couldn't live with myself if I didn't prepare it before we
needed it. To keep it safe, I've hidden the
weapon itself in the dashboard of the bus, with the access
point to it being beneath one ofthe trinkets I have on the bus's
(51:22):
dashboard. However, to control it, I simply
need to follow its instructions and hold the steering wheel.
All I know of its use is that itcomes from an ancient belief of
the four energies, that of Mind,soul, heart, and strength.
Each is needed to power the weapon, and it requires an
offering of each. I still never used it, but if it
(51:43):
truly is a weapon of mass destruction, I need to be
careful of who has access or knows about it.
Who knows what it may do once fired?
Wow. Do you know what he was he was
talking about with where he hid it?
Bobble head. The bobble head.
Yeah, the. Bobble head, of course.
(52:03):
Let's remove that real quick. Oh.
Wow. There's a the top of some kind
of large glowing orb that's built into the front of the bus
and there's an inscription on the orb.
Let me, let me read it. To offer your mind is to offer
the Nexus of your wisdom. Answer correctly or face the
(52:25):
consequences. To offer your soul is to offer
the core of your essence. Rid yourself of complexities or
face the consequences. To offer your heart is to offer
the depths of your humanity. Give of yourself or face the
consequences to offer your strength is to offer the bedrock
(52:47):
of your energy free yourself or face the consequences at.
Least you're. Wow, a trial of four parts to
test our worth, let's split themamongst ourselves.
I will offer my strength. Which of you will offer each of
the others? Mind, soul and heart.
(53:09):
Is is this I'm smelling A cursedmechanic coming from I will.
Who's this Cooper? My name is Detective Sean
Depalma. Well, you know the general, the
general Cooper that watches overassault.
Not to be confused with Baby. That's the alien entity that
(53:30):
the. So one of you must choose mind,
soul or heart. I'll go mind.
Oh Dang. OK bitch.
I'll go soul. I'll do part I guess.
OK, now here's here's what I'm thinking for the mind.
So Mitch, getting either of these next questions wrong will
make you lose half your points. For the soul, speaking in words
(53:57):
greater than one syllable will make you lose half your points.
Nice. And mine or so in hearts.
Choose one person. If they get either question
wrong and you get it right, theyreceive your points.
If you both get a question wrong, then you lose half your
points. What?
(54:19):
But why would I intentionally ifI knew that?
Why would I get a question righteven if I knew the answer?
What? OK, Aiden.
OK, very confused. So I guess Sam, if you get a
question right and Aiden gets itwrong, he gets your points.
If you both get it right, nothing happens, but if you both
(54:39):
get it wrong, you lose half yourpoints.
OK, OK, OK. Aiden's winning.
You should give me the points, that's all I'm saying.
Too late. Oh, come on.
Amazing. Well, I imagine the glowing orb
that was under the Elvis bobblehead may be our ticket to
using the weapon, but it appearsthe control and use of the
(55:01):
weapon is influenced by the flowof energy from within us in the
Kung Fu Panda franchise. My goodness.
This is described as cheat originating from China, which is
the spiritual flow and oneness of energy.
(55:21):
Question 14 In which Kung Fu Panda movie does PO master his
chi? Is it the original 2-3 or four?
I think 3. OK.
Yeah, it wasn't 3 all about chi,It had to be a three J Well,
(55:44):
yeah, well, because like he he like entered, he becomes like a
true dragon roll warrior. So, yeah, and at the beginning,
OK, three I'm going through. OK, Sam.
So is this the question that applies to my heart things?
Both this one and the next one. OK, OK, well, I guess I'll say
3. OK, you are all correct.
(56:07):
It was Kung Fu Panda three. I'm glad you know you're Kung Fu
Panda. Oh yeah, of course.
So other than four, I didn't watch 4.
Screw 4. Wow, it's wow.
He had the major character developments in four that you
missed out on. Apparently no thanks.
It had a kofina in it too. That's the main reason I didn't
(56:31):
watch it. Wow.
OK, now that we that, let's get serious again.
OK now, now that we know the stakes of using the weapon,
let's try to figure out how it works and how it fits into the
puzzle of Busty's death. So first there was a rock fall,
(56:51):
likely caused by whatever is whatever being is tormenting us.
Now. Maybe it was falling debris or
the being itself that made Bustyfinally to use the weapon, and
somehow nobody on the bus itselfwas aware until he was
incapacitated. Question 15.
(57:11):
I think I understand now. This is not a weapon of mass
destruction. This is a weapon of mass
destruction, as in matter. According to Einstein's famous
equation E equals MC squared. Matter can be converted into
incredible amounts of pure energy if its mass were
(57:36):
converted into energy with perfect efficiency.
Which of the following could power the entire earth for a
year? A Blue whales, B elephant, C
horse or D cat. D.
(57:57):
And cat. Cat dance.
Cat dance. OK, so if you converted the mass
of each of these animals. Let me do some math which would.
Would line up with the amount ofenergy used to power the earth
for a year I. Feel like a cat is too small.
(58:18):
I don't know, that's just my. Gut is the horse, the next
smallest one. It went blue whale, elephant,
horse, cat. OK.
There's a lot more mass than. The cat.
I feel like it's something crazyof like, you know, 1G perfectly
converted as like, you know, million or like trillion or I
(58:41):
don't know. So I like the thinking of cat
just to be oh, that's impressivesort of thing.
So I think I'll say Cat. You will say Cat as well.
I see Mitch. Can you give me my options
again? Your options were blue whale,
elephant, horse, and cat. I'm.
Going to go with horse. That's why they call it
(59:02):
horsepower. Of course, of course.
That got me. Mitch, you are correct.
Are you kidding? It is horse.
Are you joking? That's crazy.
Oh my God. Sam, as both you and Aiden got
(59:25):
the question wrong, I will need you to sacrifice half your
points. That's crazy to the orb.
Not mine, right? OK, wait.
Correct. Aiden, you have not spoken in in
more than one syllable, so you may keep yours.
Cool. All right, with that, let's put
this weapon in. What?
If I. Have a round down.
(59:47):
Always round down. You could have half a boy, I'll
allow it. That was a shot in the dark.
That was a complete guess. With that, let's put this weapon
into work and bust out of here. That is why they call a horse
about it. You didn't already.
(01:00:08):
Not yet. You got to hold on.
If you didn't already offer yourpoints and sacrifice.
Put your hand onto the steering wheel to complete your trial.
And now it's my turn to offer mystrength.
(01:00:30):
We did it. Boys, we did what?
The rock is all gone. Wait, do you have cancer of
every kind now? The way is clear, we're safe,
but I don't feel good. You see where specifically?
I think I finally solved the case.
(01:00:51):
Please let me paint a picture ofthe scene That day Busty died.
I believe he rose that morning believing it to be just another
day. It is true that he felt the
great weight of protecting the bus, but that day he was driving
his best friends. He was content.
(01:01:13):
He finally got to introduce himself as the one behind the
wheel. Just after, as his passengers
were distracted by their rules, the being that threatens the bus
1 attacked. He shook the earth, sending
large stones into the road and the bus's path that surely was
(01:01:36):
bound to have killed all the bull.
But Busty, being ever ready to protect his people, gripped the
steering wheel and devoted his entire being, his mind, his
soul, his heart and his strengthall at once to destroy the
rockfall that endangered the bus.
(01:01:57):
As the evil entity surely laughed and blocked the
passengers awareness of the event, Busty focused his chi one
last time and absorbed all the energy that laid in those
boulders. But unable to withhold or dispel
all that he collected, some of the destroyed mass was deposited
(01:02:20):
into him in the form of cancer itself.
No, not every time, Sir. The rocks then, just as now,
disappeared and Busty's light faded.
The bus 1 May have veered off course, but it still drives
today, filled with the laughter and the joy of his passengers
(01:02:46):
because of his sacrifice. Thanks, Busty.
In the same manner, I find that although I only gave a fraction
of my being compared to Busty, Itoo find my strength to be
failing. But fear not my new friends,
I've just enough laughing me to finish up our back today.
(01:03:08):
Can I get a boy? Check.

So they repeated all the questions so they could
(01:03:51):

So I don't think it could be anyof the combinations unless there
was like a swap there. I'm sticking with my guns.

No, you can just say the question.
I'm sorry, neither of you got itcorrect.
The correct the challenge question was the one about what
you call the different kinds of cancer.
(01:04:37):
Sam, you were correct in the moment.
They are called cancer of unknown priority.
Wow, he had that one blocked. That's crazy.
They're all. They're all like generic
different kinds of cancer that you might be able to see under a
microscope, but you cannot tell that it's this cell or this
cell. So the doctor was on it saying
