And then so what gosh ?
We've done so many things.
Is there a highlight that we'vetalked about this past year?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
A highlight.
Hold on, I got a little pain inmy head.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh, that's not good.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
You know how I get them.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's that, gallagher's chemical.

(03:45):
It's from Fletch.
And Chevy Chase is pretending.
When he's pretending to be thepreacher, he's like she gives
him headaches, them migraineheadaches, and then he's like
dude demon's out.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I love it.
So what was your favoritehighlight?
Do you think of this past year?
That's real tough, I'm sure itmay be on the podcast either way
, because we talked abouteverything Except for something
that we can't talk about, whichis the highlight, but whatever.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah For sure, Whoa for sure, for sure.
But we'll get to that.
But no, I mean, I don't know,there's been so much.
I guess putting together ourfirst shows, that was really a
lot, a big milestone, I wouldsay, I mean.
But I love it all, though.
That's just it.

(04:40):
Though I don't view it as likegreater than other, I like it
all all.
I mean, we've had so much fun,yeah, doing wild stuff, like all
the thing, and it just keepsgetting more fun the more we do.
So I'm looking forward togetting out there.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Uh, now it's like a whole pandora's box has been
open now I know I'm so excitedlike we're having so much fun
because there's just—so westarted this thing that I'm
referring to as Explore Nationand I'll put it up on the screen
.
But it's Explore L-O-R-E Nationhaving a blast with it.

(05:30):
But before we get into that,what so?
Just a couple funny things thathave happened to us over the
filming of this podcast.
One is that we have switchedrooms and chairs and I know, and
I'm not quite in my element-yet I'm still getting used to
this.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'm not quite in my element, yet I'm still getting
used to this.
It's a new chair, I'll getthere, I'll get there, but it's
all new, it's all new.
So, yeah, it's different, doyou?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
feel different up there yeah, I do actually,
because I feel like I'm notsquinting as much because the
camera is further away from me,so I don't have the ring light
in my face.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Back to business.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, we've been moving around the house More to
come on that because we got somesuper secret kind of things in
the works that we're doing withthe house.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
There's a reason we're doing a lot of house stuff
that we can't say but we will.
But we're doing a lot of housestuff.
We're getting new windows,we're doing a lot of moving and
shifting, shifting and moving,making them night moves, baby.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
So then so, but the funniest thing that happened to
us like I think it was episodeone was that your chair broke.
So we had two of those chairsoriginally and yours broke on
camera that was fantastic.
Welcome to your life.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Where's my mark Whoa?

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Oh shit, where we go Is the chair broke already.
Yep God, oh my God, do you wantto sit in the desk chair?
Do you want me to sit in thedesk chair?

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Unboxing of a team chair.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
That wasn't a team chair, that was a fucking Amazon
chair.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
That was Fat Guy's worst nightmare.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
So there was the chair incident, and then the
biggest, I would say, technicalglitch of the year was me
forgetting to record an entireepisode of Scott's Game.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I honestly forgot about that until you brought it
up, but that was horrifying.
That was because it was so goodand you'll never get it back.
That's one of things likebecause I don't I mean we
rehashed some of the stuff wetalked about, but like there was
stuff in there that was gold,jerry gold and uh, it's lost out

(07:58):
there in the ether somewhere.
I feel like I'm in some sort ofweird world.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I know Like, first of all, this is a good angle of
our house, which is, as I statedearlier, oh hey, we're sitting
together.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Oh yeah, something happened.
That's funny because we'd neverdone that in the middle of a
podcast, but it is still thesame day, it's only five minutes
later, but we had some supertechnical difficulties.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
We think it's five minutes later.
I don't know.
Maybe we time jumped, maybe wedid, maybe forces wanted us to
stay together this time.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Maybe to learn how to do it yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Because it's way different.
It is way different.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Because I'm usually, because I like to look at you
when we're talking, like we'reat a thing.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
And so it's a lot of this.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
We'll get used to it.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, it's fine, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
It's just for this episode.
Who knows what the next onewill bring us.
Maybe we'll actually set up thestudio quickly.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, but this is just so we can bring it to them.
Yeah, because we don't want tomiss out.
We don't want you to miss outon our bullshit.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
We don't want to lose valuable recording time either.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Right, we structure our schedule to get this in.
So if we don't do it now, thenthat just starts a domino effect
.
We've gotten to.
We've hit some of the dominoesbefore.
Yeah, we have, and it's it getswe hit dominoes that turned
into three-month-long breaks.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
But we're here now and you're stuck with us, and
this past weekend we started outin Cambria City in Johnstown,
pennsylvania, at.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oh, squonkypalooza, wonkypalooza, I'm a squonky
palooza, I'm a squonky palooza.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, I wore my shirt yesterday.
So we talked aboutcryptoteology, Cryptoteology.
We talked about that in thelast time.
Yeah, they made this shirt.
They did not make this shirt,but we saw them at Kecksburg.
We bought some shirts there.
We saw them again atSponkapalooza, bought some
shirts there.

(10:20):
So, like, I'm like obsessed andI found out they are local and
they print at I think it'samerican ego printing right here
in downtown johnstown.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
So you gotta love johnstown, things like when they
get everybody involved yeah inthe sense of, like, these people
are from the johnstown area,right, they?
Uh, so they love and they lovecrips.
So they then they use aJohnstown area Right, so they
love and they love Crips.
So then they use the Johnstownbusiness to make their shirts
that they designed.
Yep, it's just a beautifulthing.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yes, none of that internet stuff and our merch is
from the internet.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
But Nobody's merch.
This is probably where you canget private t-shirts.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
But the thing about it is like they have some really
cool local haunts.
So as I was rummaging throughtheir sales then I found a
Becky's Grave.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
If you guys are from the Johnstown area, you've heard
of Becky's Grave, right, and Ihad never heard of Becky's Grave
.
I was like she's flipping outover this t-shirt and I'm like
who flipping out over thist-shirt and I'm like what, who?
Her mom's name is Becky.
So I had no idea.
I was like Becky's got a grave,so apparently it's the same.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, so apparently Becky was a Rebecca was her name
and we actually went and wefound the actual grave that she
was buried at.
But there's also the allegedlore, the haunt where she was
buried.
I don't know, there was witchtrials and there was all these

(11:58):
things, but the reality is herhouse burnt down and she died in
the fire and she wasn't buriedor hung on the property.
There's an actual grave you cango visit.
I'll share the location withyou, but we want to know more,
because I remember growing upand that was scary to talk about
.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
I want to hear the stories.
I don't know what she remembers.
I mean, like we want to talk tosomebody that's like heard some
good stories.
I want to know what they are,because I don't know what to be
If you're going to a scary placeand you don't know the scary
story.
It's not scary, I love it.
Why does my?
Why is it doing that?

(12:38):
It keeps doing it.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
I'm like yeah, maybe you, and, oh my god, so what?
Um, so there was another.
Oh, I know.
So obviously there are so manyvendors right at these places
and we love to discover vendors.
We did discover a vendor who weshould have known about because

(13:21):
they're from GreencastlePennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Which is where I grew up, and it was called Chaotic
Sweets.
Chaotic Sweets, and let me tellyou something about these
cookies boy.
There goes that, bro.
Let me tell you something aboutthese cookies boy.
Okay, I can't control it.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I feel it.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Take it over, okay, okay, chaotix, this is chaotic,
chaotix, please, but thesecookies, they're like.
I don't even know if you cancall it a cookie.
Right, it's beyond a cookie.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
So the one that I had ?
Oh no, we both tried that one.
It was more like a donut cookiecake.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
It felt like it had a honey bun stuffed inside of it.
It was that what it got me sick?
No, but it did.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
It had a honey bun inside and the one that my mom
had tried.
It had a green icing on it.
She said that that tastedexactly like a cinnamon swirl
bun thing.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now I do want to say this, I do want to say this so,
at the place, it's too late towant to say no, no, so Chaotic
Sweets.

(14:47):
At so chaotic sweets At thisstand.
They had descriptions andtitles for each of these things,
right, and I should have took apicture of which ones I was
buying, but I just picked onesthat I thought would be good.
Right, and Stop it, I'm sick ofit.
Stop making, I can't see.
Stop looking at yourself.

(15:08):
So I know I'm going to have tojust look at you the whole time.
No, so this.
So, like you said, the firstone that you tried that we gave,
I know the first one we gave toyour mom, yeah, and she said
that, like you described, Like aCinnabon.
The first one that we also hadwas like now they all have, they
have many things inside of it,so there's also chunks and
candies and things in there thatlike, like I said, I couldn't

(15:30):
identify.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's literally called chaotic sweet.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
And it is chaotic.
It's chaotic, but that secondone we tried, the chocolate one.
That was fudge.
It was like it tasted like itwas a cookie, allegedly, but it
tasted like a cupcake.
It had the moisture and thedensity of a cupcake.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Almost a brownie, but not plain.
Right, right, not that denseRight, but not a cookie either,
not like a not a cookie texture,they're indescribable and
they're all that kind of texturelike you cannot describe their
texture, but they're good andI'm not you.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
I'll say I'm not usually one for, like, decadent
sweets.
You know that, like I'm not, II mean I'm for decadent food,
but not usually with the sweets.
It's usually too much for meand I thought that this might be
because it looks like it wouldbe and it is, but it's not

(16:32):
overpowering like I expected.
It's very well balanced.
It's balanced, very wellbalanced, so maybe not so
chaotic after all.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
And they do fundraisers with their suite.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, check it out, you can go to their store, but
they also, like she said,support fundraisers, stuff like
that.
So it's a great little thing,yeah, so shout out to them, yeah
that was cool.
We were talking about vendors.
Of course we bought and we'resuckers, I'll admit it.
I buy everything.
She does too.

(17:04):
You'll see us, they see uscoming them up.
That's how we got windows.
We're getting in windows.
We got stuck by Andersonwindows at the place At
Squonkapalooza.
To be fair, we had alreadytalked about it, we were going
to do it anyway.
It just so happened.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
They happened to be there.
The universe threw young Jose,was that?
His name, something like thatIn our face and we like to
support young kids who are doingthat like sales thingy-dingy
Sometimes, not always Becausewe've been there, we've sold
things, we've been telemarketers.
So I just wanted to give themlike the little sign-up thingy.

(17:42):
So I just wanted to give themlike the little sign up thingy.
It literally progressed fromzero to a $500 a month payment
in 10 seconds.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
But anyway, it's not that much and don't be putting
that out there like that.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
But anyway, regardless of any of that, we
also bought that same weekend$100 worth of meat snacks at
different festivals and things,but not just the festivals let's
talk about.
Let's talk about that jerky boy.
Let's talk about this jerky.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Stonehouse Provisions .
Pretty sure that's whatStonehouse Provisions butcher
shop on Route 40 near FortNecessity, like right down from
Nemecol and Resort and stuff.
Let me tell you about this beef.
This is now, mind you, I'mgoing to sell you my jerky
credentials right here.
I'm a man, that's me and I'vebeen eating jerky my whole life,

(18:43):
you know that You're a man outthere.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
You eat jerky.
You're eating jerky my wholelife.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
You know that You're a man out there.
You eat jerky, you're eatingjerky.
We all eat jerky.
We know our goddamn jerky and Iknow it and I make jerky.
I try other people's jerky, Ibuy jerky, I love jerky, and
when I say that this is handsdown the best jerky that I've

(19:07):
ever eaten in my entire life?

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I mean, it has all the elements that you look for
in a classic grape jerky andit's go down there, get yourself
some.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
So I can't say the word because I hate the word.
But it's not dry.
That's all I'm going to say.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
It's not dry when you open it, it's like soft and
tender.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yes, we'll go with tender.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Because it's not formed.
You know it's not a jerkythat's chopped or formed.
This is real cuts of steak.
But what they do they must uselike great cuts because it's so
tender, so tender, so tender andso flavorful and the more you
chew it you just want to suckevery little juicy, freaking
morsel out of every strandthat's how he feels about jerky.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
but yeah, so we, that is what $52 a pound?
Now, we're not $52 a poundpeople.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
No.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
He just happened to.
He just happened to.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I want a little bit of money at the casino.
It's large, right, but what I'mtelling you, though, is normal
beef jerky even like the worstjerky, like Jack Link's or
whatever, a pound is going tocost you like $25.
If you go to Walmart and buy apound of it, it's going to be
like $25.
Your more premium jerky thatyou see, like your handmade

(20:31):
stuff, maybe like a wild billfrom the jar, you're talking in
the range of like $35 to $38 apound.
For a decent jerky, this is $52, but it is worth every.
You don't realize how much apound of jerky is either.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Right right.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
We were eating on it for five days.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
And if we'd been a little bit responsible, we'd
have had it more than that.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, but I mean, I ate it as a.
We had it half of the summer,yeah, on the way down.
You, I ate it as a lunch.
We had a half of it, yeah, onthe way down.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
You can eat it as a fine cuisine.
Yeah, it's like it is a lunch.
You just eat it as a steak forlunch.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, I mean, it was just phenomenal.
So we had the jerky vendors andthen the t-shirt vendors.
Oh, we actually sell speakersthis time.
We don't normally stick aroundfor that kind of stuff, but we
really want to learn who the keygroup of people who speak

(21:32):
around these parts are.
So we stayed and we listened.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, it was very good, Ron Murphy.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh my gosh, it was great.
It was really great.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
If you get to see Ron Murphy speak, if you're
interested in cryptology oranything like to do with lore,
there was lore.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
In this area.
Well, I say this area, youlisten to wherever, where we
live.
Where we live, he's like anexpert.
Western Pennsylvania, theChestnut Ridge.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, but he threw a lot of fun facts in there, a lot
of pop culture typecross-references, and he's funny
, like he should be a comic.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
He's a great speaker.
He introduces all the elementsthat you need, including humor,
but what I love about is heweaves stories, like you said,
of culture, history.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
It's not relatable.
You're not just listening tosomebody spew facts about some
imaginary creature, you'regetting like a, yeah, it's fun,
it's good.
So that was cool.
And then we learned about acouple of new podcasts, so
Strangeology was the one right.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, we did listen to some of it.
That was good stuff.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
That was so Strangeology.
I'm going to give that dude alot of credit.
He's very well produced, he hasa ton of episodes, he's a great
interviewer, so I mean he'sobviously well established.
But we also did check out anewer podcast.
I think they have a lot ofepisodes, but they were speakers
.
Yeah, they were also speakers.

(23:09):
They're called Cryptids of theCorn.

But no, they're supposedly outthere.
We went looking for them.

(25:11):
We didn't find them.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
No, but I did find a piece of coal.
Well, I mean, there's coal allalong there, but I brought a
piece back with me because theywouldn't let me put it down, and
that's a whole other storyabout.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Using it for makeup, making shadowy eyes.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
You can.
That's how they did it back inthe day.
I'd love to see if it's thatcore, different core.
That's what they said.
I don't want to just go puttingthat shit on my eyes and then
all of a sudden I get that.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, it's cold, oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Oh my gosh, Trying to get off the roll.
That sounds like a PSA here inPennsylvania we're trying to get
off the roll by fracking andthen the next day.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
So we talked about Mr Ron Murphy.
Mr Ron Murphy was just recentlyon a show that I like to call
Beyond Skinwalker Ranch, andthat's what it is called.
That's what I call it.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
But I like to call that Saturday Night.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Live so, but he was recently featured on an episode
that they did.
They were out in Kecksburg, butthey weren't just in Kecksburg,
they were talking about anotherplace.
On the Chestnut Ridge up nearBlairsville there's a old town,
livermore yes, livermore, and itwas like there's a lot of local

(26:34):
legends around there strangelights.
You can walk out.
We went out there.
You can walk out on thesebridges, all these bridges.
There's like a trail that youcan walk and it crosses.
So the Connemara river does oneof these and they got a walking
trail that goes right throughthe middle of it.
So you just keep walking overthese bridges and you know what

(26:55):
I mean, where the river is.
It's very cool.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
It was cool.
I mean I only walked about 400feet, but it was the longest
I've walked in months.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
It was great she has no concept of actual distance or
measurement.
Just always remember thatListen.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
the universe gave me a very technical brain.
I can't have all the componentsof it.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
But yeah, no, so they supposedly.
There's a lot of strange lightsout there.
There's a lot of people seethings.
It's part of the Chestnut Ridge.
We were out there checking itout.
While we were out there, wemade a discovery.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Oh my gosh, I don't even know how we landed there,
but we just drove into this townand you just drive the town and
then at the end of the road,boom, the river, and it's
gorgeous there.
It is so pretty, I mean it'sjust—.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
You want to talk about a great little
Pennsylvania, quaint little townfor like a little just quick
getaway Salzburg.
So it's where the Loyal HannahCreek empties into the carnival.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and like that's the other thing
about this whole looking forparanormal cryptid thing or
whatever is that we'rediscovering all these beautiful
little tucked away.
Nobody wants you to stop theirtowns because they want to keep
it all to themselves.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Towns and nature spots, like little secret hiking
trails like that other one, andstuff like that was absolutely
amazing.
Or even if you just want totake a ride in your car.
We like doing that too.
We just drive and we just drivearound, look at some stuff.
If we see something cool, westop.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Um, that's fun too, and these towns are great for
stuff like that yeah, I mean,and then the dams too, like
because tucked in between all ofthis river stuff, you, we got
output footage up.
We got a really good footage ofthe one dam just open.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh yeah, there's two dams, there's the Lohana Dam and
then the Connemaw Dam, and theyhave a reservoir and they like.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Let's just let the guy talk about it.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, let's let the guy talk about it.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
As a result of the St Patrick's Day flood of 1936,
the Flood Control Act was passedby Congress authorizing the
construction of Connemon Dam.
Construction began in 1949.
The dam became functional in1952.
However, september 18, 1953,marks the official dedication
and entrance into service.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
We pressed the buttons so you could hear this.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
We pressed buttons for you because we like to
explore for you.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'm being such a toll right now.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
No, I'm just kidding.
And then we've been to theLoyal Hanedam too.
We were there before.
We didn't realize it at thetime, but it's just up the road
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I'm pretty sure it was the last time we were at
Hexburg.
Goof it off.
I'm pretty sure it was the lasttime we were at Hexburg it
might have been, I don'tremember either.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
But yeah, I mean, we talk about it all the time.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
We're talking about it again Pennsylvania's great
treasures there's so many somany it's a wealth of resources
and I don't think everybodyrealizes it it's the West
Virginia of the North.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
I like to call it Because it's just filled with
woods and hills and good folks.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
We discovered a super secret water spot in West
Virginia that nobody fuckingtold us about either.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, because I think , because it's like rich.
It's so weird.
But Cheat Lake nobody ever toldus about this place.
It's just beautiful.
Why isn't it advertised, right?
Nobody's talking about this.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Like when I was growing up I didn't have friends
that were, like my family's,going out to Cheat Lake for the
weekend and you did have friendswho would go to other expensive
places like indian lake, indianlake, deep creek.
I had grown up I had friendsthat went to deep creek.
That's rich right.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
These are all places that like we didn't vacation
there, but like we still knewabout them and you still knew
people that did.
But i've've never heard itcheat like Never.
They cheated on you.
They cheated us right out of itbecause it's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
It is gorgeous, although we didn't explore
enough because I didn't see anylike dockside restaurants or
anything like that.
I'm not saying there was notany, I'm just saying I didn't
see it.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, we didn't see them, we weren't there.
We just we stumbled apart.
I'm just saying I didn't seehim.
Yeah, we didn't see him, weweren't there.
We just we stumbled apart.
Yeah, we weren't prepared forit.
It came out of nowhere, justdriving down the road, bang
there, it is Tough.
Acting to an acting.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
One on one side, water on the other.
There was, everybody was in thewater.
They were.
They were ragged.
It looked like you were upsomeplace called Martha's no no
space?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Zipping around at Martha's.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Vineyard.
They were speed boating andkayaking and floating all in the
same strip of water.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Anyways, that was very cool.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Very cool, very cool, very cool.
But before we got there, westarted doing some exploration
down around what Uniontown,pennsylvania?

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, that's how this all started.
We went to a couple placesFirst off.
Did you know, did you know,that the Silence of the Lambs
house is in Periopolis?
I forgot how much we do.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I forgot that I have a video of what's his name.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Buffalo Bill, buffalo , buffalo Bill's house.
Now let me tell you something,a little bit about Buffalo
Bill's house.
Okay, it's like on an island itis.
It's like weird to get to andit's like on an island it is.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
It's like on this, it's like weird to get to and
it's like on this little thingand like it's on a jetty, like
yeah, it's private property, butthey do have a little placard
outside so you're allowed totake pictures and stuff, just
don't bother the people speakingof awesome, like abandoned
towns, what was the name of thattown?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Dawson, dawson, dawson.
Yeah, right, on the Yawka Ganey, you can like it's super secret
.
I don't even want to put it outthere, but nobody listens to us
so it doesn't matter, nobody.
That's going to betriaculity-ac.
That's not our customer base,no, but what I'm saying is like

(33:42):
Ohio Pound stuff.
It's super busy to get on theyacht and a lot of those
drop-offs and stuff can be, butthere was like nobody there.
It was like a real cool showplace.
Yeah, it was really good and itsounds like it's almost like
it's an old west town.
It's like a ghost town, right?
Very weird, right.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
It's all right, like there are definitely pockets of
places out there where you canunderstand why people are seeing
Bigfoot, and it's not becausethey're crazy, it's not because
they're drinking moonshinealthough I'm sure they are it is
just literally because there'sa whole energy out there.
That's.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
It's a chestnut bridge baby.
It's vibrating like theSkinwalker Ranch.
It's a spiritual.
I don't know if spiritual isthe right, but it's alive.
It is alive.
The place is alive with energyand things moving around.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
There's something going on there.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't know if somebody's already coined this,
but if they haven't hear me out,I'm coining it now.
Fuck salt life Ridge, lifeRidge, life Ridge life.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
I feel like that's because we know Ridge.
It's very weird?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
I don't think no, but you literally talk about the
Chestnut Ridge 40 times a day.
You talk about Ridge Ridgefirst, regular Ridge, like once,
twice, three times a week.
No, we talk about him a coupletimes a week because he's always
got a show.
We're always like, oh, where'sRidge?
He's always.
Oh, speaking of Ridge.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
That's like a where's Waldo, Where's Rich yeah
where's Rich?

Speaker 2 (35:22):
You never know.
You never know, he just he'salways.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
He's putting up comedy shows.
He'll do it anywhere.
You don't even know, you couldjust be walking along.
Bam, we did buy a hat, a comedyfarm hat.
He's got some good merch.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
They're really well made.
Yeah, I like it.
I just haven't worn it yetbecause I'm always talking shit
and I don't want to get him inhere, as if Nike doesn't get in
trouble for everybody that'swearing a.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Nike hat.
Right right, he can't beresponsible for everybody that's
wearing a comedy farm hat, orshould he?
That's the real question thatneeds to be asked.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
So we ended up watching what was the episode
where we got the idea to go outnear Union Town and Derry and
stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yeah, it's called Finding.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Bigfoot, is that the one with the two girls, and they
were out at Union Townsomewhere.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
At Union Town out Union Town way somewhere Out
Union Town way Out.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Union Town way Out Union Town way and what was the
guy's name that was the head ofthat show?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
We don't really watch that show.
We only watched it because ofthe episodes.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
And I felt bad for those girls because first of all
, that Rachel lady.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
I tried to like tell them.
She said listen, I know thatyou're lying, she's like.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
I know it's a costume , like there is.
I was about to say, babe, no,you didn't do it, she didn't.
But there is better ways toengage people who think they've
seen something without just likebursting their bubble.
These were young teenagers.
We don't want to prevent that.
I don't think they were hoaxed.

(37:12):
They really believed it.
I don't think it was.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
I'm not ruling it out that it was a hoax on them.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Right, but I believe that they believed it.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
But I believe that they believed it Right.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah Right, agree.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
I'm a believer in their belief.
I'm a believer in their belief.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
I would like to do a.
Where Are they Now?
Because that was 10 years ago.
Have they continued exploring?
Have they seen more Bigfoot?
I don't know.
Get in contact with us if youdo, if you know them, but we'll
be out and about that waybecause, like they did, that
town hall right In Uniontown.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
And like it was a— and the answering buddy,
everybody at the town hallraised their hand.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Right, there was hundreds of people in the state
theater and like they were alllike, like raising their hands
to like give a story.
Um, so I mean they only coverthree of them on the show.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
there's hundreds or more people out there who have
stories I know I joke about itand I call this area the
skinwalker rancher, pennsylvania, but it really is.
There's portals, portal stories, bigfoot stories, ufo stories,
paranormal they all go hand inhand and, matter of fact, this

(38:30):
brings up an excellent point.
You can go get ron murphy'sbook about the goblin universe
of the chestnut Excellent read,by the way.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Excellent read there you go, but there's some kitsch
along the way.
There's some fun stuff.
So we stopped in DerryPennsylvania and we got some
cute pictures of the DerryBigfoot statue.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
We found a red balloon.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
He is not even joking either, like here's.
The worst part about that is wewere going to Derry and I
forgot that it was set inanother Derry, not Derry,
pennsylvania.
We were going to the Derry area, and so when we left there we
were driving down the highway.

(39:19):
Not there, but there was a redballoon just laying in the
middle of the road, just weavingand bobbing.
It wasn't trying to move.
It wasn't moving with the likewhen cars were passing it.
It wasn't trying to jump around, it was just stuck to the
center.
I'm not even lying.

(39:40):
Oh my God, my hair is shavingup so but what's in Derry,
though?

Speaker 1 (39:50):
What is in Derry?
I thought I said that to you.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
I know I said that already.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
That did we are we going to put in our pictures?
That was amazing.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I thought I didn't even hear that part you must
have time jumped and skippedover that.
Scott has a click remote.
He clicks past some of the shitI say and then forgets.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
I did have a time jump one time and come to find
out it was in the Chestnut Ridgeand I didn't even know it.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Not at the time, he didn't.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
No, at the time I had no idea that it was.
I didn't.
I knew that it happened.
Obviously I time jumped.
I was driving home from workand all of a sudden there's like
15 minutes gone and I'm on adifferent road and the radio did
a little and I don't know whereit went and I could not place

(40:46):
what happened.
That's what's weird is like I'mtotally gone.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
And he told me when he got home and I believed him.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah, and I just like it was so profound and weird,
right, it was just and it's theonly time it's ever happened to
me in that manner and come tofind out years later that
happens to people out there.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
It's a.
Thing.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
It's a.
Thing.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Portals and aliens and UFOs and Bigfoots.
So our adventures then took uscloser to Uniontown, away from

(41:33):
Derry, and we went down to.
It is called gosh QuakerCemetery, outside of Minneapolis
.
No, it's called the QuakerFriends.
Quaker Friends, quaker Friends.
It is a cemetery that isallegedly wracked with
paranormal People crying,children laughing.
So we were on our way up thereand just as we were about to run

(41:55):
, it was like a sharp, sharp,sharp right going up to get up
to but coming down, almost readyto make the sharp right, my
camera turns off.
I tested everything no batteryglitch, no button.
I couldn't replicate it.
I've tried To be fair.
I researched it.

(42:16):
It is a known glitch with theiPhone Pro Max, so we'll go with
that.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
However, I was going to say classic Skinwalker rant.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Yeah, exactly Like.
That's the thing about it andI'm going to keep saying it.
Ron Murphy has turned me on tothe phrase woo.
I do not want to be woo-wee.
Like things happen, I'm goingto log them.
But there are naturalexplanations for a lot of things
, especially technology.
Right, and I'm a statisticalanalyst, analyst, analyst.

(42:52):
I can't say that right ever.
I just say I'm a tech person,I'm a tech person, I'm a tech
person.
I can usually attributesomething back to its good root
cause and not paranormal, butit's still kind of whenever it
happens in a place like thatwhere you're expecting something
like that to happen.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Right, it was just sort of coincidental where it
happened, if you understand whatI'm saying, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
And then we get up there and it's surrounded by
barbed wire.
You can't get in.
So we want to see if we canarrange a tour.
So more to come on that,because I would really like to
just make sure that we'recovering the actual history of
the place.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Yes, it's an old Quaker, meeting house.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Right, and his family is Quaker-meaning people.
Yeah, they all Were they.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
I don't think we were anti-Quaker.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
What are you talking about?
Like on Ancestrycom, like allyour family came in through
Philadelphia and Quaker meetingstuff.
That was all your family, notmine.
More to come, I have paperwork.
I usually drop our seeds butregardless of that, yeah,

(44:11):
friends Creek is Quakers.
Your family settled FriendsCreek.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
I don't think they were Quakers, though I'm saying
I'm pretty sure that they were.
They were like what do you callit?
I can't think of the word.
There's a word Puritans, no,but it's a different.
They were like early Lutheran,like early that stuff.
Like the Protestant Reformation, like stuff.

(44:39):
Okay, okay, the ProtestantReformation-like stuff.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
Okay, okay, now I need to love my ancestry because
my brain's rememberingsomething different.
But regardless of all that, theQuakers didn't have a habit of
marking their graves.
It was part of their simplicity.
So there are over 500 gravesthat are not marked.
That's interesting.
Yeah, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yeah, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
But there are also marked graves and the chapel had
been rebuilt because it hadbeen destroyed.
But even the rebuilt chapel, Ithink, was rebuilt in the late
1800s.
So there's like a lot ofalleged spooky, scary kind of
haunty things there.
There's like a lot of allegedspooky, scary kind of haunty

(45:24):
things there.
There's allegedly a note insidethe chapel that if you read it
you will be cursed or somethingbad will happen to you.
So I mean there's good lorearound it.
It's definitely worth exploring.
It's outside of Periopolis,pennsylvania, but you can't get
in.
So you got to know somebody.
So we're going to figure thatone out.
But again, I would like tobring the history too,

(45:45):
absolutely.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
I mean, because that's the beauty of it, of this
, is you get to experience.
It's no fun to go and justexperience one part of it.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Right.
I don't care if it's haunted ornot.
Now I want to know about that.
I honestly feel like we owe itto history to talk to anybody
who's still available to talkabout it and get it documented
and recorded.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Well, it gives you the context of where a lot of
this stuff comes from.
And back to Ron Murphy, he doesa lot of that, connecting where
it's like, where did thesestories originate?
We have this story about thisghost of this thing, but why?
What is the history of the area?

(46:34):
What led people to think thatthese people were crazy or what?
Not these people, but I'msaying it on any story but, like
, what led to the events thatpeople started telling these
stories?
Right, you know what I mean.
Like, was it maybe to keeppeople away from a certain area?

Speaker 2 (46:52):
or Right, that's exactly it.
Like I said last episode aboutthe moonshine, stills like some
of that lore in Appalachia camefrom that.
Like moonshine.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Oh, absolutely.
When you don't want somebody toknow what you're doing, it's
super easy to make up a story tokeep people out of that part of
the world If you don't wantpeople going in there and
finding your whiskey.
Still, you're going to make upthis and maybe you even take it
a step further.
Maybe you dress up and put likethings and do it to scare

(47:25):
people, keep them out of therebecause you don't want pride
eyes.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Right.
But is that a one zero TuesdayRight?
Because the overall vastexperience of many people not
everybody was moonshining or hadsomething to protect.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
And I also think with that.
I think those people wereprobably just using already
existing folklore, Right.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
To try to ward people off.
That's exactly it.
They just adopted it as part oftheir security regimen.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Now, that made how some of these stories became
popular, right right, but thestories didn't originate with
that Right that's exactly it,yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
No, that's a great call out.
I love that.
So, on the flip side of it,though, we tried out another
folklore, and that bust ZeroNothing, so that was called the
Gates of Hell.
The Gates of Hell.
Cue up.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
Alan Jackson, but we went looking for him.
They were supposedly at thisplace in this field.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
We ran the whole length of Tent Road twice and
did not find no damn gates ofhell.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
No gates.
What I think happened issomebody bought the property,
tore the gates down because theyweren't important and put up
their mailbox.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Yeah, there's a lot of new construction in that area
, but regardless of that, therewas nothing spooky scary about
that region.
That 10th road Again, unless wegot to the wrong road somehow,
and there was two, I don't think.
I don't think.
We looked, we looked.
There's no, the gates of hell.

(49:12):
We're giving that a zero on thecreepiness scale.
Oh wait, we can't take hisstuff.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
What was that called?
I'm not even going to say it.
What do you give that on thewoogie boogie scale?

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Oh yeah, we'll think of a meter for these things, for
something like that.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
But if you do want to speaking of, because Ozzy did
just die.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Right.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
While we both love Ozzy's music, I want to give a
shout out to Ozzy and not thestar of the Osbournes, but Ozzy,
the reality TV show that hematured into.
Right, because Ozzy and Jack'sworld detour, speaking of like
traveling and history, yeah,they were doing what we were.

(50:02):
We're doing yeah, just withmore money, that's yeah, with
and resources and friends andcontacts, imagine.
But if you want to get an ideaof what we would do if we had
those connections, watch ouraustin Jack's World Detour.
It's a great show.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
That's exactly it.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
And then also another one of my favorite shows the
Osbournes Want to Believe.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
I love that show.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
It started off during COVID and they just so.
Jack Osbournes, who you know isvery into the paranormal I love
his paranormal specials that hedoes, like the ones where they
run around UFOs, bigfoots, andhe tries to convince his parents
.
He shows them videos fromaround the Internet of supposed

(50:44):
aliens, aliens, ghosts, whatever.
All this stuff right.
And then they have to decidewhat they, sharon and Ozzy
Osbourne, decide what they thinkabout the videos Right, bull
lightning, bull Right, bulllightning, bull lightning, bull
lightning.
It's bull lightning Jack.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Oh, Sharon, it's not bull lightning.
Oh well, because it's our case,so good.
It's so good to watch it.
And it's so endearing too, likewhen they're playing with the
animals and stuff and you cantell when Jack's getting a
little over their craziness.
But I mean it's so.
I love the dynamic of that film.

(51:24):
It's really good.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Auti truly is beloved .

Speaker 2 (51:26):
He, is he really, oh my god, he's just a good guy.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Right to darkness down the mountain.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
So then we had a little bit more time to kill and
we drove on down to Morgantown.
Um, just because, not becauseit's paranormal, just because I
don't know if we got.
Morgantown yeah, wvu.
I actually got accepted to WVUand didn't go when I should have

(51:56):
, but I wouldn't have met babyyou never know what might happen
you did totally you might havebeen going to WVU too yeah, you
never know.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
You never know what might happen.
But now this all brings us.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
I don't even want to talk about it.
I'm so pissed off.
You know that we've talkedbefore.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
You know that we love going places.
You know that we love going todrive-in movie theaters.
Specifically, we've been towhat probably 20 different
drive-in movie theaters.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Last time I checked we were well.
Last night should have made 18different ones.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Never had a bad experience.
I mean some okay ones, yes, butnever one that was like.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Not collectively across the board.
No, no.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Not where we would be like I hate that place.
I never want to go back thereagain.
No, but we found one.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Unfortunately, because I did a whole TikTok
video on this earlier, I don'twant to join the swamp on this
one.
But like seriously, I I'm allfor business owners.
I want to give small businessowners every chance to do well,
to come up out of holes,whatever it is.
If I had resources, my showwould be fixing drive-in movie

(53:17):
theaters.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
And this one needs fixing.
It does they need something?
Because, first off, we'vetalked about this before it's a
cardinal sin.
Who doesn't have butter fortheir popcorn?
In what world are we living in,folks?

(53:40):
These are basic human rights.
It just sounds so obscene to me, absurd.
It'd be like.
If you're like, yeah, I'mstarting a Christian church, but
we're not going to talk aboutJesus, you know, it's like it
doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
It's just like America, scott, we deserve
popcorn with butter.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
The popcorn wasn't even heated.
No, it didn't have butter.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
So first of all, you didn't catch this, but when we
went in to peep the menu realquick, all the popcorn was in
big-ass yellow garbage bags,already popped, probably already
seasoned.
Like you could tell.
It was like industrial, likethey bought it like that.
It's not like they werepre-popping it and stuffing it
in these weird—no, this wasalready made, bought to order.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
They went down to Walmart picked up a big bag of
popcorn that you buy for $4.99,but they bought the big, big bag
.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
It was pre-soldered, they put it so they have the
kettle machine.
They have two of them, twokettle machines Just for show.
Just for show, it's there towarm the stale garbage bag
popcorn that they were serving.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
And then to not even offer a butter topping.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Right, like, at least mask that shit.
I need some fucking fat todrown that.
Oh my god, I was so mad.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
I don't know what world we're living in, where you
can't afford that congealedmess that they turned into the
oil that they put on popcorn.
It's like.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
I know Orville Redenbachers is expensive, but
you could buy the cheap housefor some of that squirty shit.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
We will say we know for a fact that it wasn't just a
glitch.
They weren't out of it Becausethe car in front of us he said
come on over here.
He had a mason jar.
He said come on over here andstep out this shine jar boy.
Look at that there bud.
Yeah, that's that liquid goldbutter Butter.

(55:42):
Yeah, for that hoo-hoo.
It's made from corn, for corn.
But no, he did, he had it inthe mason jar like it was
moonshine.
He was protecting it.
He said you get my butter boy.
But they brought their ownbutter.
So that tells me they've beenthere before.
They know the butter situation.

(56:03):
People should not be bringingtheir own butter to the movies.
Although shout out to thembecause stay ahead of the game.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Right, I mean, if you know, you know right.
Well, and it wasn't just that.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Yeah, these are minor things.
I could have forgiven all ofthat.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
All of that they it was cash only and we did not
know that it was not on when welooked them up.
I mean it could be, maybe it'son the website and I missed it,
but it should be flashing in big, bold letters.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
No, or cash only.
Normally place it when thedrive-ins have cash only.
They have signs out front.
They have signs at the snackbar they have.
Some of them have ATMs therefor you to use.
They did no signs.
It's not on the ticket thing.
It's not anywhere that theydon't accept cards, which I'm
not again.
This is not a major issue.

(56:57):
Not a major issue.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
In and of itself.
So we've talked about this.
They've got stale popcorn.
That's not pot there.
They got no butter, no ATM cash.
Only they don't tell you thatbefore you get there.
We got there early because wehad been out driving around all
day and our goal was to chill,hang out, eat a little bit

(57:20):
before the movie started, justrelax right.
I got to the bathroom.
They'd only been open a halfhour.
Nobody was there yet.
One toilet was completelyoverflowing with toilet paper so
it looked like somebody justsat there and fucking put all
the toilet paper in there.
One toilet was closed.
One toilet was spinning.
It would not stop flushing.

(57:41):
And there was one toilet that Icould use right, went in there
to use it.
Fucking dropped half my shit onthe floor.
The floor was flooded.
There was three inches.
There was that much water.
So it was about three inches, Idon't know.
There was that much water onthe floor.
I was standing in toilet water.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
And then so they shut the bathrooms down.
They shut the bathrooms down.
Then they have this parkingattendant that's driving around
hassling people about the waythey're parked.
They're not even.
They're maybe 30% full.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Not, even, not even 30% full.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
And they're enforcing the parking rules.
Like you're worried about theparking, you don't have butter
for your popcorn and, it'sstrange, there's water in your
bathroom, bub.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Right, get your priorities straight Jesus Christ
, and it's so.
I hate these.
We've all.
This is so.
Lots of drive-in movie placeshave a guy on a golf cart.
I like to call him a dipDrive-in police, but dip for
real, because these guys alllook the same they all got a

(58:48):
belly and they're all A lot ofmore advisors.
Oh my God, they all.
You could just tell they werelike the crossing guard in
school.
They were like I don't knowwhat the redneck version of this
is, because these are allrednecks too, but they're
fucking.
Permit patties.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
My grandma used to call them little tin Hitlers.
Little tin Hitlers, Little tinHitlers.
You give them a little bit ofpower.
They're trying to take over theworld.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Yeah, my God, and like this guy.
First of all, he's fuckingdriving so fast on that car.
If a kid would haveaccidentally got in front of me
would have taken them out.
As soon as he saw somebody parkwrong, he zipped I mean was
zipping over to their car.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Zip it, buddy Zip it.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
It was ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
Oh, and all of that aside, because we gave them all
those chances, we're like okay,okay, okay, okay, we're still
here.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
It's been a long day.
We're here.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
The movie starts and the audio is messed up.
It sounds like they're talkingthrough a speaker box, like it
was staticky, it kept cuttingout we left, we left.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
I don't like to be this way.
I am kind of a spoiled brat andwhen I say I want to go home,
but when you've made that manymistakes, it's an accumulation
of events.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
And then you're like I can't even watch the damn
movie now.
I can't even watch the damnmovie.
Shut up, shut up now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Freakier Friday guys.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
No, we still haven't seen it.
I have nothing to tell youabout.
I was looking so forward.
I was about to break a recordthat I hadn't broken.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
Well, I was looking so forward.
I was about to break a recordthat I hadn't broken.
Well, you could tell him aboutthat other movie that you saw
without me.
He went to movies without me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
That's what I'm doing .
Oh, I'm talking about breakingmy record for watching the most
movies in a time period.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Oh, I thought you meant breaking your record of
talking about a movie on everyepisode of this podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Oh, no, no, no, I'm talking about I was about to.
I would have seen three.
This would have made threemovies that I'd watch in a
seven-day time frame.
Personal record, at least as anadult in the last 20 years.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
And they took that away from me.
So now the only movie that I'veseen in the last seven days was
the new Naked Gun movie, whichwas very, very good.
But I only recommend it if youlike those type of movies.
It's very funny, it's hilarious, and Liam Neeson is fantastic.
Pam Anderson is fantastic.
Oj Simpson is terrific.

(01:01:29):
Stop it.
It's a great movie.
Go check it out.
But no, but seriously, likeback to the driving thing, like
I don't usually ever leave a bit, I'll take it on the chin.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Yeah, Like, and we're not, and I've said it all day
that we are not Karens.
We are not Karens.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
We didn't bring up any of those issues with him, we
just took it and we were likelooking at it, give each other
the look.
I gave one of these Missilecode yeah, missile code Code to
get out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
We should have known right from the get-go.
But it was after the thirdthing.
It was like you're like, butyou want to watch a movie, you
want to enjoy it.
You paid to get in, you paidfor the popcorn, you paid for
the snacks.
I got to know I bought my candyat Dollar.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
General baby and I ate my sub from the seat.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Yeah, and we never do that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
We had to go to—.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
Sacrilegious.
You don't do that to astruggling venue like a drive-in
there's only 350.
They like a struggling venue,like a drive-in there's only 350
.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
They're going extinct .
We know from personalexperience and researching
drive-ins all movie theatersmake their money from
concessions.
Right, especially drive-intheaters.
Because first off, you get towatch at least two movies Right,
you're getting two for one.
You can't eat that price-wisebecause it costs like $14, $15,

(01:02:59):
$16 to get a regular movie andyou get to watch two for like
$10.
Right, and they skip thepreviews, these pricks.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Now I did chat to JBT that and they said that a lot
of the newer movies don't dopreviews now because of, like
how limited but I went to thetheater last weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
I saw naked gun there was.
We even commented to each otherthis is the most previews I've
ever seen.
It was like 12 and they wereall good movies.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
