(00:03):
Oh wow, did everything just get brighter?
I didn't do that. What?
Yeah, I use this. Where's the remote for the
lights? I don't know oh it's behind your
laptop, but. It was right there.
Yeah, Speaking of ghosts, What? Oh my God, the.
(00:26):
Scooby-doo, was that then? Paranormal activity?
Paranormal. Paranormal activity much?
Oh my God. Well, we are talking about
ghosts and mythical beings today.
How many ghosts do you think have invaded?
(00:47):
Oh, you just. Pardon.
I just ripped ass, could you hear that?
No, it just farted and then. No.
Can I tell? You so excited.
Not even necessarily excited. Can I tell you something?
(01:09):
My honey. That happened last night, yes.
OK, so last night when we were laying in bed, yeah, one of the
cats was like staring at the door, really weird.
And I was a little gardened, just a smidge.
But I looked at the door and I like, literally could have sworn
to God. I saw like long black fingers,
like a long like a hand, like grab the door because we always
have it like slightly cracked. I literally swear to God I saw
(01:31):
it and I was freaked out. And I think that's part of the
reason why I was up until like 330.
That was last night and then thelights flickered earlier.
Have a sore throat? I want some.
This honey is so good. Are you just going to eat the
(01:52):
whole jar? Why do I feel like our house is
haunted? Like why do I feel like there's
a curse it? Might be Did I ever tell you?
OK, wait. We need to roll the Entrell.
(02:16):
Welcome back to the Pretty Funnypodcast.
I'm Brit. And I'm Mario, thanks for having
us. What are we talking about today?
Couple episodes ago we talked about doing a Defense Against
the Dark Arts and we had a lot of people call in and talk about
mythical creatures, paranormal experiences that they've had,
paranormal, paranormal, paranormal, paranormal
(02:40):
experience, experiences that they've had.
We thought that we would compilethem all and kind of do a fun
little Defense Against the Dark Arts episode.
Yeah, especially since we went and saw a couple of nights ago
the 28 years later. Very good.
Also, you had me very terrified.I thought it was gonna be super
scary. I thought I wasn't gonna be able
to sleep. It was super scary.
(03:00):
It really wasn't that bad. Well, it was very thrilling and
it was very scary, Yeah, but it had a really good story to it.
And yeah, I grew up. You hadn't seen and I don't
think you still have seen. No, I haven't seen the 1st.
Two yeah, 28 days later in 28 weeks later.
I wouldn't mind seeing them, butI.
No, we should watch them. Killian Murphy.
Yeah, that was like one of his first movies. 28 Days Later, and
(03:24):
it was like, recorded way back in the day.
I don't even know how long it was, maybe 28 years ago.
I don't know. Or like wasn't it recorded on an
iPhone or a? No, the newest one.
Was Oh, OK. Yeah, yeah, no, it was pretty
good. I, I don't know, I expect to be
a lot more scared. And that's coming from someone
who when I was little, Luigi's mansion haunted me and I
couldn't sleep because of Luigi's mansion.
(03:45):
I think I just hyped it up too much because the 1st 28 days
later the first one, that was one of the first scary movies I
ever saw and I was like preteen at a buddy's house.
It was on the TV, we watched it and it haunted me for months.
Anybody that's seen the original1 can attest to that because the
(04:07):
1st 2 are very like high paced like thriller cat and mouse
avoiding the zombies and you can't even really call them
zombies. People get offended if you call
the 28 Days Later zombies. Zombies you're supposed to call.
Them the rage. Yeah, they're, they're infected
by rage and you're supposed to refer to them as infected.
They're the infected. OK, like that fucking matters.
(04:29):
Well, I mean, I'm just. My first scary movie that I ever
saw was Paranormal Activity. And I was scarred.
And I was at my friend's house in Oregon and I couldn't sleep.
I was freaking out. And I didn't have a phone, but I
had a texting app on my iPod. And so I typed in my mom's phone
number and I was trying to text her.
And it was like 2:00 AM and I was like, mom, I'm so scared
(04:50):
right now. Help me.
And the person was replying and they were like, I'm not your mom
like this. I'm not your mother.
I'm sorry you have the wrong number.
And I was panicking. And I was like, mom, I know I'm
texting from an app. Like I know that it's, it's your
daughter, it's Bryn. Like I swear to God.
And they just kept saying like, it's not your mom.
And then I woke up the next morning and realized that I was
in fact texting the wrong number.
So some random person out there was getting texts from a 11 year
(05:15):
old Bryn at 2:00 in the morning being like help me there's
ghosts. And they just kept saying that
you weren't your mom and you thought you were.
In like, yeah, they were like, I'm sorry, like.
You got like Coraline more. To God that it was my mom that I
was texting. But it was the other mother, and
you were Coraline. Oh, God.
In the other dimension. You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah. Oh, I don't know.
(05:35):
We just unlocked your, like, mystery childhood trauma.
Is that the washing machine? Everything needs to stop being
so fucking go. Go shut the.
Scooby-doo spooky round here, you know what I mean?
OK, I'm going to shut the door. Yeah. 28 Days Later was the
first scary movie I'd ever seen.Yeah.
Really. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was like actually freaky. And I think what really set the
(05:58):
28 Days Later franchises zombiesinfected apart was because they
were infected by rage that are fast moving.
They were freaky. The makeup was really well done.
Yeah, they weren't like slow moving and they were like
fast-paced and they screeched and they would throw up and
they'd like very grotesque, verylike angrily like.
(06:19):
And the the 1st 2 movies were very high paced like that like
and there was definitely an homage to the prior movies with
the intro of this one. Which I missed because I was
waiting in line from mozzarella sticks.
The juice is definitely worth the squeeze if you go and see 28
years later. It was a good movie.
It filled the The Last of Us void.
(06:39):
That was in my heart, you know what I mean?
It was like the amount of actionthat we wanted to see from The
Last of Us that we didn't reallyget, especially there at the
end, yeah. But it was a really, really good
continuation of the franchise and they set up so the whole
movie was just a big setup for what I could see as like a whole
bunch of different TV series trilogy's movies that they get
(07:02):
set up because they made so manydifferent types of infected and
there were so many different like worlds within the 28 years
later in the in the cliffhanger at the end.
Yeah, in my opinion, my humble prediction is that they will
just then release another 28 days later.
Yeah. Or maybe they'll title it like
(07:22):
28 Years and 28 Days Later. That's I could see that.
That's actually a really good point.
Yeah, as like a next trilogy or even just to stand alone.
Because the way they set up the whole world's, like we were
saying like at all the differentlike types of infected, it would
just lead perfectly as a jump off point for the next franchise
of 28 days, 28 weeks and then maybe another 28 years.
(07:45):
Yeah. I think there's also a lot of
different storylines kind of within this one that they could
like do a lot of different things with and maybe they'll
interconnect again or whatever it might be.
Right after the movie, in my brain I was like, oh, they need
to do like one of those Amazon Prime, HBO, Netflix series and
feel free to steal this any network.
Just maybe put me in it as an extra or like, let me write an
(08:08):
episode. I don't know.
But like a 28 days before. Yeah.
And it's like the 28 days leading up to the original 28
days later, like what that lab looked like creating the rage
virus, like the infection that originally started everything.
I was like a series following that like 28 episodes would be
(08:30):
so cool. Or just following the. 28
episodes would be perfect. Yeah.
And I was like, I feel like there would be.
Or even two seasons in each is like 14 episodes whatever.
Yeah, exactly. And I feel like it would be a
really, really good little mini series, kind of like Andor on
like Disney Plus that they couldlike put into that universe.
I have a question for you, not to completely change the
(08:51):
subject, but what mythical creatures, if any, do you
believe in? That I actually believe in.
Yeah, because we don't. Bigfoot.
Bigfoot. Bigfoot.
Well, no, like it's not that I believe in Bigfoot.
I'm on the lookout though. Yeah, when we were driving
through Oregon, I was, I was looking.
That's what I mean. Like I don't believe, but like,
I still entertain the thought. I still actively look, yeah,
(09:15):
whenever we're going. Yeah.
Anyone that's been in the Pacific Northwest, up and down
the West Coast and you're driving over the Cascade
Mountain range, you're in Oregon, you're passing Mount
Rainier, Mount Baker Mount Put, all those.
Shasta Mount Hood. Yeah, you're driving around and
you're going through those Snoqualmie big mountain passes.
I feel so bad for everyone else in the country that's never
experienced that. Yeah, because it's literally the
(09:36):
most beautiful place on earth. But driving over these mountain
passes, it's just endless evergreens and trees, and I am
constantly looking for Bigfoot. It's been Bigfoot I spy my
entire life looking out. So dense in there and like, I'm
sure so much of it is undiscovered, has never been
touched. Like, no, there's got to be
(09:57):
something in there. There could be, and there very
well could have been. And I've seen the videos of,
Like, Bears on their hind legs and their bipedal, and they're
walking around and they look like a Bigfoot.
Like, like, there's plenty of explanation for there being a
Bigfoot or some sort of giant ape.
Yeah. Creature in the Pacific
Northwest. Too, you know.
(10:18):
Even if it's what? Extinct.
Yeah, that's what I mean. Like I believe.
It could have been. It could have been and I'm on
the lookout. I don't know if I necessarily
believe, and they could have very well died out, but there
could have been one relative, Harry and the Hendersons I.
Still haven't seen it. If you live in Washington or
Oregon and you haven't watched Harry and the Hendersons, how
(10:38):
dare you. That's all I have to say.
When I was younger, I was convinced that fairies exist.
You thought that fairy like it were a real thing?
Yeah. Oh, I would be playing in my
mom's backyard, which you've seen, you know what it looks
like. I would, like, go back and,
like, try to find fairies in thetrees.
Like, I was like, maybe I'll catch them slipping, which
there's a lot of people. There's like a whole community
(10:59):
that think that fairies exist orthey call them Faye Faye, like
on TikTok. Yeah.
And they'll make little circles of rocks and like they're up to
mischief and no good. Isn't that the whole fairy book?
That a court of horny roses the.There's fae in it, yes, Yeah.
Yeah, 50 Shades. No, but then.
People are talking about like real life, like actual like
people think that fairy. I think in Iceland they have
(11:20):
like little cubbies for them or something.
They like build little fairy houses.
You never know, like we don't know everything.
True. Do you think that witches exist?
Have they existed? Do you think witches have
existed? Currently they do.
Witchcraft is practiced. There's witches everywhere,
spooky baddies all over the place.
I've technically, we talked about it.
(11:41):
I kind of technically did witchcraft that one time when I
lived in Arizona. Oh yeah, if you touch a Ouija
board, congratulations, you're awitch.
No, I have not done that and I will never do that.
You put a little too much into asoup.
Congratulations, you're a witch.Would you touch a Ouija board?
Me. No, thank God, not that white.
Thank God, Jesus Christ, we think our house is haunted.
(12:01):
We don't need more to add into. That yeah, that's what I mean.
Like you play with any of that, you dance with the devil, with
Satan's asshole, you know you might get pink eye.
That might be the, that might bethe ex.
Jesus, what do I say? That might be the ex Catholics
in US though. Also is like I like the scariest
(12:21):
movies for me are devil ones or like demon or possession or like
anything that has to do with religion.
Never seen it. Never seen that one.
I think I know what you're talking about, but no.
But like insidious, terrified. Me.
Absolutely terrified me. The Conjuring.
Not. A fan.
Conjuring a fan? No.
The first Conjuring. Where were you when you first
(12:43):
saw the first Conjuring movie? No, it's so good.
It's. Terrifying isn't there?
Like the last ones coming out very soon.
Yeah, yeah, Oh yeah. They really built the.
We don't give The Conjuring verse enough credit because they
built a whole Marvel cinematic. Universe here.
Universe 2. Yeah.
Or like it's made by the. Same.
It's literally like the nun is Thanos and they were building up
(13:07):
to Thanos after all these years and the nun movie, the nun movie
is like where all of that accumulated.
And that was like the genesis oflike, yeah, Thanos, like getting
the Infinity Gauntlet. Yeah, it was like it was back
story. It was a whole back story.
Yeah. And Annabelle is almost like
Loki, if you like, want to compare the two.
I am so excited for all the movies coming out this summer.
(13:30):
I've been looking forward to a summer like this for such a long
time. Like, I love going to the
movies. You know, since we've been
together, I don't think we've gone more than a month without
at least going to see something at the theater.
Maybe two months, I don't know. But going to the theater is
something that I've always lovedto do, is something that I
always want to do. And like this summer, the whole
lineup, like I hold on. Yeah, you have screenshots.
(13:52):
It's like Superman. Yeah, like literally out right
now. How to Train Your Dragon. 28
years later. We just saw Banger, go see it.
And then these are all the movies that haven't come out
yet. F1, Jurassic World, Superman,
Eddington, Fantastic Four, HappyGilmore 2 together.
A 24 is cooking like a 24 has dropped heat all year.
(14:16):
The last couple years have gone to a 24.
They have carried everything andI feel like every other movie or
movie franchise since 8:24 has come out has tried to kind of
replicate that in their studios.They just have such a vibe about
them. Even though they'll have
different directors and different casts, obviously they
all still have a very similar vibe.
(14:36):
It feels organic and natural in,like, it doesn't feel
commercialed or like, you know what I mean?
It doesn't feel it's not produced.
None of them are very real. Yeah, they're real.
Even like when they're supposed to be cheesy, they're done in a
non cheesy way. And that's why I like 28 Years
Later so much too, is because when you watch it and you'll see
the special effects and just howthey shot the movie and how they
(14:58):
spliced it up, how they edited it.
It's very it it, it feels very British.
It feels like the the old moviesif you've seen them, but it's
very modernized. And it's, it's really, it's
suspenseful. It's great to watch and it's
very well done. And I fucking loved it so much.
While Bryn's in the bathroom, I'm going to continue to talk
about my thoughts and feelings of modern.
(15:22):
Oh my God, Bryn, your side Dick just messaged you.
Bryn's texting on her laptop. She doesn't know.
I can see it. I'm in the bathroom.
Mario not big. This is dumb.
I don't want to be. This is a dumb bit.
I do think this year though, 2025, little bit into 2024, has
(15:45):
been the best year for cinema, for TV.
The amount of shows that have come out, the amount of movies
that have come out, like I feel like we're back on track.
And I know this James Gunn Superman movie that's coming out
is literally going to be the equivalent of Iron Man for the
MCU. That happened way back in the
day. You know what I'm saying?
(16:06):
But like, in a way better like James Gunn is about the shape
and craft and release. Just an Onslaught bombardment of
awesomeness on all of us. With all these DC movies he's
about to drop in series and stuff.
Yeah, I never, ever, ever, ever,ever, ever thought that I would
be excited for something like this.
But knowing how excited you are has made me excited for Yeah,
(16:29):
Yeah. Do you want to listen to these
now? Yes, OK, a good job movies and
TV. You're doing great.
You're. Doing great.
OK. Hey Brennan, Mario, my name is
Reagan and I wanted to call in and talk about the mystical
creature that I believe in, which I hope you guys can
resonate with since you guys watch A Game of Thrones and
(16:50):
House of the Dragon. It's Dragons.
But basically my whole thing with Dragons is how do you
expect me to not believe that they're real or that something
that was like somewhat similar to them isn't real when they're
depicted in so many ancient cultures as different symbols of
things, And these cultures are not connected in any sort of
(17:13):
way. Like, I don't know, it just is a
little fishy to me. But not only that, part of me
wants to believe them because I think that they're cool and
awesome. And if you guys haven't read 4th
Wing, it's really good. So yeah, that's it.
OK, bye. My only thing with that, because
(17:34):
I fully agree with what you're saying and I like think that
that's really cool and a really nice thought to have.
Wouldn't there be fossils? Of the Dragons, yeah.
Well, what's interesting, and that's the main thing I always
bring up when it comes to Dragons, that if I'm very
interesting and she already saidit so well, is how every single
culture across all different spans of time ends up drawing
(17:56):
some like giant flying lizard that breathes fire.
Or at least that's what it lookslike or what it resembles the
most. And in my brain I was like,
well, if time travel or aliens or us from the future that can
go back to the past looking likealiens could ever do that, what
(18:16):
would we look like? And of course, like, if you
picture like modern technology and aircraft and what they're
capable of, it's a dragon. It's like literally a jet flying
over, shooting down. It's a dragon.
Yeah, but they don't look like lizards.
To an ancient civilization like mermaids look like manatees, you
know what I'm saying? So like, who knows?
(18:39):
You know when someone plays a game of telephone, a lot of have
you seen the pictures of and like, I would love this.
Show illustrations. I know, but have you seen the
pictures of elephants that like when, when Europeans like
travelled to America and came back and we're trying to draw
elephants and let people know what they look like?
Have you seen those? No, let's throw a couple of
(19:00):
those pictures up because, like,those pictures are hilarious.
Oh, you like that? Exactly.
You know, like crime scene photos.
Yeah, when people want a criminal drawn, they get the
sketch artist and so these explorers will come back and try
to describe an elephant to an artist and they draw it.
Well, you also have to think of like when people draw, like
(19:21):
people will take like tap fossils or whatever it might be,
and then they have like a persondraw them like how they would
for dinosaurs and they look wildly different than how we
know. Them.
Oh yeah, like a hippopotamus. Yeah, my other thing with
Dragons is if there's not fossils right then like do they
live forever and are they just in hiding?
(19:41):
And if so, then where? Like how to train your dragon
Hidden world? Yes.
Like did they go away at some point?
Were they some sort of advanced civilizations mode of
transportation? Yeah.
Whoa. Have you ever read all of the
lyrics to Puff the Magic Dragon?Isn't that the one about like,
meet the parents? It's about drugs.
It's about like. No, not at all.
(20:03):
What? That is no.
Yeah, and meet the parents, Ben.Stiller, Robert.
Deniro Oh, maybe they're. Talking about Puff the magic
Dragon and it's like a do. You know the lyrics though, no?
Do you know the story that the song tells?
No do. You want to cry?
No. Puff the magic dragon live by
the sea and frolics in the autumn mist in the land called
Hana Lee. Little Jackie Paper love that
Rascal Puff and brought him strings and sealing wax and
(20:26):
other fancy stuff. Oh, Puff the magic dragon live
by the sea and frolics in the autumn mist in the land called
blah blah blah blah. Together they would travel on a
boat with billowed sail. Jackie kept a lookout perched on
Puff's gigantic tail. Noble kings and Princess would
bow whenever they came. Pirate ships would lower their
flags when Puff roared out his name.
Then of course, a dragon lives forever.
But not so little boys. Painted wings and giants rings
(20:49):
make way for other toys. 1 Gray night it happened.
Jackie Paper came no more. And Puff, that mighty, that
mighty dragon, he seized his fearless roar.
He his head was bent in sorrow. Green scales felt like rain.
Puff no longer went to play along the Cherry Lane.
Without his lifelong friend. Puff could not be brave.
So Puff that Matty Dragon sadly slipped into his cave.
(21:12):
Explain it. So Puff the Dragon and Jackie
paper besties. They would hang out, go on
adventures. Yeah.
And then one day, Jackie either grew up or died.
See, that's why I'm like. And never visited Puff anymore.
And Puff was so depressed that he went to his cave forever.
I immediately had the the thought of Inside out when go
(21:35):
save Riley like so that's what that storyline is of.
But it literally says it says a dragon lives forever but not so
little boys like. So it's almost like a Peter Pan.
I don't know. I just when I was little, I
would loved that song. I loved the song.
And then I at my grandma's house, she had like a music book
(21:56):
and it had that in it with all the lyrics and I read through
all of them and like would sing it crying to myself as a child.
It's sad. That's a very sad, like, that's
a very sad allegory for like, your imagination dying or like a
child being taking too soon. Yeah, which I've also a 24.
(22:18):
HBO, Netflix, Amazon. If you want to steal my idea,
just include me in the movie. Maybe let me write an episode.
But I had the idea of a Peter Pan movie, right?
But there there's always those theories about like how Peter
Pan's the bad guy. He's like a kid that just won't
let other kids grow up and like kidnap them.
And Captain Hook is like trying to save his children or like
(22:40):
trying to save children. Or he's a grown up that escaped
that came back with other grown-ups that had escaped to
like save the the lost boy. You know, like that, like
explore that, make that into a movie, whatever, like you were.
Going to say that they should make a puff the magic dragon
movie because I would watch likean E24 puff the magic dragon
(23:00):
movie. That like explores like.
Jackie Paper and yeah, and like the themes and like the.
Well, just say that it. Would be a depressing movie too.
Dragons are believable to me though, because I mean,
dinosaurs existed. We have bearded Dragons.
We have Komodo Dragons, bearded Dragons, we have lizards today.
We have. And like, who knows what
(23:21):
happened between before? Who knows?
You know what I'm saying? No one knows.
Hi, Brandon Mario, my name is Aaron.
I'm calling him from Georgia. Before I respond to your prompt,
I wanted to say I love y'all so much.
I listen to your podcast every week.
I follow both of y'all. I love both of your content.
I actually identify very heavilywith y'all's relationship
(23:41):
because my boyfriend and I got together the exact same day that
y'all did last year. And he's kind of the funny guy
that bagged the Batty and I'm the Batty that's into makeup,
hair, you know, nails, all of that stuff.
So I identify with y'all very heavily.
Love you both. To respond to your prompt, I
firmly believe that mermaids arereal.
Well aside from aliens. We already know aliens as the
(24:02):
government told us that. I believe mermaids are real and
this is my reason for it. We only know 5% of the creatures
in the ocean. Of everything that we know, we
only know 5% and humans are going to human and everything
that lives, breathes and habits earth.
We feel like we have ownership or some type of right to.
(24:24):
I believe that the last time mermaids were on the surface,
people tried to unalive them or capture them.
And they were like, you know what?
We're not doing this anymore. And so they chose to go to the
depths of the ocean and, you know, through evolution have
just been able to evolve and survive down there.
And they want to stay hidden. And that explains why we've
never seen them, because they don't want to be found because
(24:47):
humans tried to kill them. So that's my two cents on
mythical creatures that I believe are alive.
And thank y'all, I love you guys, you're pretty funny.
We love you. Love.
Love. Love, love, love.
I Yeah. Mermaids scare me.
I don't like ocean stuff at all.I don't like believing anything
in the oceans real I. Like we also think about like
evolution. I was about to say if y'all
(25:09):
believe in that, please for the love.
If y'all. Believe in evolution.
Y'all believe in that futuristicthinking about?
I was going to say the. Holy.
Spirit, make the babes. I'm so sorry that makes the
(25:30):
babies you hurt. You're still going.
Go ahead, tell them. Tell them about how evolution
ain't real, honey. Go ahead.
It would make sense though if like when we were formed there
was also like a formation of humans that were like
evolutionized to live underwaterrather than on land.
Yeah, there's like tribes and villages and places all over the
world, and I know there's one inparticular and I don't want to
(25:51):
get wrong where they're from, but.
Oh, it's Sentinel N Sentinel Island.
Maybe, but the people there, thebabies can swim before they can
walk, and they live primarily onthe water.
It's like water world in real life.
That's cool. That's not the one I was.
Yeah, like live on like huts andstuff and boats and they swim
and like, they just kind of liveon the water like that.
(26:11):
Yeah. You know.
Yeah. You know, it's really.
Cool. I think I know what you're.
I think I've heard of what you're talking at.
Yeah, talking at, talking about.No, I just know I like, I
watched a lot of National Geographic and Discovery and
Animal Planet and all that stuffgrowing up.
Deep, dark water is just terrifying to me.
Yeah, like Jaws. Never seen it.
You ever seen Jaws? No.
(26:32):
Oh my God. Obviously I know Jaws, but I've
never seen Jaws. It's.
So scary it's the scariest movieof all time.
It's Jaws. Universal fear of sharks just
because of one movie. There's never been a movie
scarier than Jaws. Are you going to look at me and
tell me I'm wrong? Name a movie scarier that has
had that big molesting impact. Oh.
(26:53):
That's what I'm saying. Like everyone is literally.
Scared with me though, I'm not scared of sharks.
You're scared of sharks because of the propaganda of the Jaws
movie that was released. Before you I literally just said
I'm not scared of sharks. You're not scared of them at
all. I'd be scared if I was in the
water with them, but I would also be scared if I was in the
water. Listen.
To me, I would all shut your trap.
(27:16):
I would also be scared of a whale in the water with me, but
that's not because of Jaws. I'm scared of fish in general
and you know this. I'm also scared of moths.
Is that because of Jaws? So if you're in a pool and a
goldfish swims by you and then agreat white shark swims by you,
you're either one, you're going to be just as scared.
(27:37):
Have you seen me around fish in water?
Actually, have you? I'm being so serious.
Have you seen me around fish in water?
Yeah. When?
When we were in California, Huntington Beach, and I was
like, oh, there's a little bit of water and you're like, say
that these are like running turnto the beach.
Yeah, yeah, No, I know you're scared, but I know if I was
(27:58):
like, there's a great white shark coming at you at 30 mph
that's mouth open, you might have been a little more dramatic
than just going in the do you understand what I'm saying now?
I feel like you're a little morescared of sharks than you give
yourself. Credit for no.
Oh my God. I think I could survive.
(28:20):
A shark? Yeah.
What would you do if a shark came at you?
Punch it in the nose. Well, I know that's what you're
supposed to do, but would you actually do that?
Yeah. You got it.
You think if I'm getting bid, I'm not going to just be like,
like just wherever the fuck I am?
You're in. You're in the water.
OK, so. No.
Can you? You got to hear me out.
(28:41):
You're in the water. OK.
Tour board. Tour Board.
No, get that the fuck tour boardsay toy boat three times fast.
Toy bike title. Got that.
(29:02):
Keep it in. Don't lick the microphone.
You don't know where that's been.
Yeah. I do.
Yeah, I did. You were snorkeling.
OK, Listen to me. Listen.
This is real, Britain. This is real.
This is a hypothetical. That I need you to take
seriously. Like it is real.
(29:24):
OK, You're in the water. You're snorkeling.
I wouldn't be. Snorkeling.
You don't have a choice. It's my hypothetical.
You have to do exactly I would say.
No, before I got in the water tosnorkel.
I don't fuck with snorkeling 'cause I'm scared of fish.
There you dig the D Let me EW. No, it's your feet.
(29:47):
I do not feel like being touched.
But look at how. EW feels like your hands start
to grab just. Continue.
So I'm snorkeling, which I wouldn't be.
You're snorkeling. Which I wouldn't be.
The tour boat leaves you. It's getting dark.
It's just light enough to where you could see about 10 feet deep
into the crystal Clearwater and the below that it's just pure
(30:09):
darkness. But you know, it's 100 feet deep
at a minimum. OK.
The sun's slowly going down, andas you turn around you see a
dorsal fin attached to what looks like an upside down
rowboat of a great white shark swimming directly by you, not at
you, to show you it's gargantuansize.
(30:33):
Keep in mind, this thing's literally the size.
Keep in mind, I wouldn't. It's the size A.
What? Of a Hyundai.
It's the size of a Honda Civic. Friend, I wouldn't be
snorkeling. You're telling me that you're
not scared right now You got. I checked out after you said
(30:53):
snorkeling. I wouldn't be snorkeling.
A Toyota Corolla with teeth swims right by you and you're
just like, I wouldn't even be here in this hypothetical,
idiot. Yeah.
That's you. Yeah, God.
I hate this so much. Why?
Because you're scared of sharks.Because of the Jaws movie Bryn,
(31:15):
it's called the law of Quantum. Super.
I've literally never seen the movie.
It's called the law. I know what you're talking about
because everyone else made sharks scary because of Jaws.
I get where you're getting at. I'm being obviously stubborn and
I wouldn't be snorkeling. Thank you.
You want me to suck these? Yeah.
Put some honey on them. Stop.
(31:40):
Get your feet away from me. Look how hairy my legs are too
it. Feels like a little baby's hand
trying. That's not little I.
Don't want to say it feels like a toddler's hand.
Crap. Damn it.
Get your little hands away from me, please, Bran.
(32:02):
I don't like feet. EW, they're gross.
I don't like your little feet onme.
You know your callousy gross feet blur her feet.
God. It's called the law of quantum
superstition. It's what made Jaws successful
(32:23):
with their point of view shots, POV shots you guys might know
from other means of media. Anyways, the whole movie there's
no shark, but it's shot from thepoint of view of the shark and
your mind. You don't show the shark at all.
Pretty much the whole movie theydon't.
So they do. It's well, at the very end they
(32:44):
do, but it's left to the audience's imagination to fill
in the gaps of their most terrifying version of whatever
that shark could look like. If your brain can't do that,
then the movie's not scary to you.
Or if your brain's not doing that, or if that's not what
you're actively trying to do while watching movies like that,
then you're not going to enjoy yourself.
And like, I can watch The Blair Witch Project, which was the
(33:07):
same premise. It's just like found footage and
you don't see nothing, but like,things are happening, you know
what I mean? And that's not scary to me, but
like the sharks scary to me justbecause sharks are that scary to
me. And I watched it way too young.
OK. You ever been like inner tubing
and you fall off and you're likein the lake and you're like.
(33:28):
If there's like sharks in a lake.
And you're waiting for the the boat to come back.
You're. Going to tell me in Lake
Charlotte sharks, they're not sure.
You know when you're floating and you could see your legs like
this underneath you and they're taking your time to get back to
you and you're like, wait, what if like a orca or a leopard seal
(33:50):
or one of those moose feeding onthe kelp down below me?
I feel like I have too much of an active imagination.
Hi, Bran. Hi, Maria.
I just wanted to call in for your prompt for this leak, and
this isn't solely on topic but Ithink it counts as mystical
magical creatures. So my family is Swedish, my
(34:13):
grandma emigrated here from Stockholm and got married and
all sorts of other fun things when she was young and I ended
up living with her for a few years when family stuff
happened. Anyways that's besides the
point. So we she always had these
little like troll dolls around the house.
(34:35):
And growing up, part of the Scandinavian culture is that you
are not allowed to call them ugly.
You cannot call them ugly or they will give you the worst
luck. And they will like come out in
the middle of the night and be all mischievous and kind of like
gremlins. Like they'll do anything like
make your day hard tomorrow. Like if you have an outfit laid
(34:56):
out and you called them ugly theday before, they'll go and
they'll steal the shorts that you need for that outfit.
Like they're showing more thingsthat they do too.
And I will vouch that it is true.
My little sister had a girl on her softball team that came over
and called them ugly. Oh, I got 50 seconds left, they
called them ugly. And the next game she could not
hit a ball at all the entire time.
(35:17):
And she's always been their number one hitter.
So just saying they're real. They are real.
Have you ever watched Gnomeo andJuliet?
Talking about trolls I've known.OK, have you ever watched Gnomeo
and Juliet? No.
Really. I well I know the story of Romeo
(35:38):
and Juliet, which I think was loosely based off Gnomeo and
Juliet. I think Romeo and Juliet was
loosely on Gnomeo and Juliet if I'm not mistaken, so the story
might be similar. It just made me think of it
because I don't know. Gnomes aren't trolls, obviously,
(35:59):
but like, it's a banger movie, Jameson.
Oh my God, look at the castlist.Look at the castlist.
He. Gets.
Do you see? It Jason.
State controls are real and you go just reminded me that you
know you know, me and Julie lookat the castlist.
(36:22):
No, actually look at the castlist.
Like, look at this fucking Dolly.
Dolly Parton, Ozzy Osbourne, Patrick Stewart.
Yeah, Hulk Hogan. James McAvoy.
Jim Cummings. Jason Statham.
Maggie Smith. Hulk Hogan.
Yeah. What the fuck?
I told you it's a good movie. Doesn't necessarily make it a
(36:44):
good movie. Have you seen it?
Stephen Merchant. It's good.
I haven't seen Romeo. I've seen it like way too many
times for some reason. Actually, this could be a good
one for us to start falling asleep too.
Anyway, the trolls thing is crazy.
I it's their whole culture, I think.
Scandinavia, I think it's their entire culture, that's what.
(37:06):
I thought she'd said she's like,Scandinavian culture believes in
trolls, and you're like, well, don't believe it.
No, I was about to talk about superstitions in general.
No, but about the trolls. Do we think that they're real?
Do people not have like securitycameras in their house?
Sounds like like Elf on the Shelf, yeah.
But like everybody I know. But think about it like everyone
(37:27):
nowadays, at least one person over there is going to have a
camera in their kitchen. How ugly are these trolls to
wear like? Don't call them ugly.
Tempting to call them ugly you. Don't.
They're literally not ugly. You put like a mega hat on it.
It's cool though. Yeah, no, the trolls are cool.
You got to pay the troll toll tobe inside this bull soil.
(37:50):
You got to pay the troll toll tobe inside this bull sole.
What is that from? You don't know what I'm If you
know, you know. Can you just tell me?
Day man, master of the night man.
(38:11):
Can you just tell me? Champion of the sun, a master of
karate and friendship for everyone.
A day, man. Go.
OK. It's from It's Always Sunny in
Philadelphia. Oh, cool.
If you know, you know. The Trolls movie.
I never watched the Trolls movies.
Need more glitter is. That what that's from.
(38:31):
Yeah. I told you we need more glitter.
Yeah, the Trolls movies are pretty good actually.
How old were you when Gnomeo andJuliet came out?
Came out in 2011. I was 13.
Yeah, no. So trolls sounds pretty cool.
Sounds like a good way to make sure your kids are behaving.
Yeah, it is giving like Elf on the Shelf.
(38:54):
Learn your rules. You've got to learn your roles.
If you don't, you'll be eaten inyour sleep.
We have one more for Mythical. One more for mythical Benson
Boone. How do we feel?
Ice cream. Did you see he has a cookie at
Crumble right now? Yeah, we talked.
We saw my Coachella and we said that he was a hell of a
(39:16):
performer. Yeah.
And I feel like we said that. Do I think that Moonbeam Ice
Cream is a good is a good song? No.
Do I feel like he's over hated? Yes.
Do I like him? Like when I go out of my way to
listen to his music. Yeah, people don't know how to
be good quality haters nowadays,you know what I mean?
(39:36):
Like, let's say Benson Boone, for instance, does one too many
backflips. He sings a mystical, whimsical
moon beam ice cream. I call things Moon Beam ice
cream all the time now, actually.
And I'm like, I don't know if this is going to be all moon
beam ice cream. You know, like, literally.
Like he, he's a silly, goofy dude doing silly, goofy shit.
(39:58):
And is it a little cringy? Little, is it a little corny?
Is it a little over the top? Yeah.
And I think that's the point. And I feel like people give him
so much hate. For just that.
Yeah. Where it's almost like, OK,
like, all right, all right, relax.
Like, it's not that. It's not that bad.
It's a dude prancing around in tights making music that's
pretty enjoyable, pretty harmless.
(40:20):
Like, yeah, he's a. Good.
I mean, like, why we're why are we hating so hard and like.
People love to hate on it. And like with Huda, like I was
hating a little bit earlier, butI completely know at the end of
the day. People were like doxing her.
That's what I. Mean I'm like what?
It's horrible. I'm like, you can politely hate
where you go, hey, this is silly.
This is what I'm seeing. Hey, this is.
(40:42):
Whatever, you can have an opinion and then watch me in a
couple weeks. Maybe when we watch Love Island,
whatever. Maybe I'm like, oh, that's
really cool. You know, she's found happiness
and like, or maybe she's off theshow, but like she's doing
better. Like that's the whole thing is
just being able to have multipleopinions and evolve.
(41:04):
And why am I ranting so much about this?
Went back to Love Island somehow, some way, you really
are upset. I fucking hate love.
Island. Yeah, I can tell.
When I was at the dispensary, being the bud tender, we full
on. We're just like talking about
Love Island. He's like, what's your plans for
this weekend? Oh my God.
And I said Love Island. Yeah, I guess I'm watching the
(41:25):
show. No more faking it, guys.
I. Don't think you were convincing
1 singular person because you have brought it up a lot.
Of people, you know, see me, hear me, look at me and they go
no way. That's super masculine,
dominant, manly, just huge. What?
(41:47):
Mummy my screen taking off, dancing in the.
Magical. Look at the kitties.
We had them outside and then they started going crazy at the
door and I guess they were having withdrawals.
(42:09):
Everyone say hi to smokes. Hi smokes.
Cosmos down here as you guys saw.
We have one more mystical, magical.
Oh, let's do it. We'll try not to yap too much.
This is so much fun. I love this defense against the
dark odds. We haven't really given any good
defense, you know what I mean? You know.
(42:30):
What was the first one? Dragons.
Yeah, so how would what, what doyou think the best defense for a
dragon is? I know my answer right off the
rim. Exactly.
Yeah, a donkey. A well hung donkey.
You know what I'm saying? A smooth talking funny.
(42:50):
Mate with the dragon. That's why I'm saying if that's
what it takes, oh, that's all ittakes.
Take it from me, you know, beingthe silly, goofy, whimsical
dude, you can slay the dragon. I mean, look at this beautiful
dragon right here, Anti nothing more than a mule or her
entertainment. Isn't that not what happened
(43:12):
between us? You.
Want to be Donkey and the dragonfor Halloween?
Oh my God, yes, let me add it tothe list.
Yeah. Hi Mari Winburn, love the
podcast. On the note of mythicality, I am
from Scotland where our nationalanimal is a Unicorn, we have a
Loch Ness Monster called Nessie and we have we fluffy Haggai
(43:34):
that run about the hills. Just wanted to know what your
thoughts were about these thingsand if you had any local legends
from where you're from. Bye.
Wait, hold on. What was that last one that she
said? High dye and we have we fluffy
high dye that run a bit the hills.
We fluffy hair dye, no? And.
We have we fluffy high dye that run a bit the hills.
(43:57):
That I. I have no idea, I don't have a
mythical creature from my hometown.
Which also very cool. Would love to live in Scotland
purely for the fact that the Unicorn is the.
From Scotland. I am Scottish.
I'm Scottish and our animal is the Unicorn.
But I've. Seen one?
We don't have a mythical creature that lives in my
(44:20):
hometown, but we do have something called Mel's Hole,
which is an urban legend centered around a purported
bottomless pit near Ellensburg, WA, popularized by a caller
named Mel Waters on the radio show Coast to Coast.
There is a hole in my hometown that emits strange sounds.
There's claims that it can transform objects, bring dead
(44:42):
animals back to life, and it is seemingly bottomless.
So like people have stuck thingsdown there and it just goes on
literally forever. People think that it's like a
gateway to hell. You have fucking Penny Wises
wishing well or fucking the Demogorgon's lair.
(45:02):
Yeah. In your hometown.
But it's never been found and it's considered to be a myth
related legend. You have pet cemetery in your
hometown where they could raise things from the dead.
Have you never heard about this?Which is like, that's surprising
because you're also from Washington and it's like a very
popular thing. I mean, like earlier on the
podcast, we were talking about how where we're from, Washington
(45:25):
State, the local legend is Bigfoot and it's everywhere.
Everywhere you go, especially when you're in the mountainous
regions, you, you run into a lotof Bigfoot merch.
Bigfoot's a big deal. I got Bigfoot stuff.
We have a lot. Of Bigfoot stuff.
Actually, yeah. Oh my God, Brynn, did you not
look at the door like someone's standing?
(45:46):
I was looking at. Oh my God my heart just fell on
my ass. Oh my God, do you want to?
Come here. No, he likes me.
No, he's just rubbing his Dick on my laptop.
We saw Death of a Unicorn, we talked about that.
That was another pretty decent A24 flick if you're looking for
something to watch. Brynn can barely wrangle a cat,
(46:07):
so I don't think we're going to do too hot against some
mythical, magical, whimsical moonbeam ice cream.
Got him. Got.
Him got. Him.
Rest in peace. I actually met that guy.
Wait, really? Yeah, I think he's dead.
Sad. I believe, if I'm not mistaken,
(46:28):
that the next podcast, it doesn't air on your birthday,
but your birthday is a couple days after it.
So it's going to be your birthday podcast.
Yeah, I think, Yeah, I think, yeah.
So are you excited? I mean, I guess so.
Do you want to do anything special for it?
For the podcast, yes, I want to do it like yours, where people
can call in if they want to watch me.
(46:48):
Happy birthday, they can. But like more importantly, I
think it'd be super fun to do like a fun prompt or like, let's
get some more dudes calling in. I think we've had two dudes call
in. Well, we might not have more,
but Emma goes through all of them and.
That's true. So there might be more.
Well, I just feel like the majority of people calling in
have been women and there's no problem with that whatsoever.
(47:11):
But I know that there's a lot ofdudes listening to the show.
I know there's a lot of dudes maybe listening alongside, you
know, their girlfriend, their wife, their, I don't know what
rank the baddie in your household is, but like what?
Whatever the case may be, maybe just a fun prompt birthday.
We can post one on our stories because.
(47:32):
People know, pay attention to our our stories.
If you have any specific questions for me, if you're a
dude, good time to be a first time caller, maybe on my
birthday podcast, like to see the dude's perspective of this
podcast. You know, we're approachable,
we're coachable. And I don't know.
And then just anything, obviously, like Brynn said, you
(47:54):
guys know my my special interests and things that we've
talked about on this podcast. Maybe something you'd like me to
double down on that I would loveto yap about?
I think something that could be cool too is I feel like a lot of
people do know what your specialinterests are.
If you have like a very unknown fun fact about anything cool
that you think Mario would enjoy, I think that could be fun
(48:16):
for you. Oh yes, yeah.
And that'd be really cool because there's a lot of things
I want to get into that I haven't got into like Dungeons
and Dragons, like so many different games that are either
Co-op that we could play together, that I could play on
my own. I don't know.
Yeah, just suggestions and. Whatever you see.
Whatever. You're feeling like yeah, so
feel free to call in as much as you can.
(48:37):
Look at Cosmo. I know he's really cute.
The Kitty is on the ground, belly up, begging for rubs.
And it is. Oh, it's the cutest thing I've
ever seen in my life. Anyways, we love you guys so
much. Thank you for your support.

(00:26):
Scooby-doo, was that then? Paranormal activity?
Paranormal. Paranormal activity much?
Oh my God. Well, we are talking about
ghosts and mythical beings today.
How many ghosts do you think have invaded?
(00:47):
Oh, you just. Pardon.
I just ripped ass, could you hear that?
No, it just farted and then. No.
Can I tell? You so excited.
Not even necessarily excited. Can I tell you something?
(01:09):
My honey. That happened last night, yes.
OK, so last night when we were laying in bed, yeah, one of the
cats was like staring at the door, really weird.
And I was a little gardened, just a smidge.
But I looked at the door and I like, literally could have sworn
to God. I saw like long black fingers,
like a long like a hand, like grab the door because we always
have it like slightly cracked. I literally swear to God I saw
(01:31):
it and I was freaked out. And I think that's part of the
reason why I was up until like 330.
That was last night and then thelights flickered earlier.
Have a sore throat? I want some.
This honey is so good. Are you just going to eat the
(01:52):
whole jar? Why do I feel like our house is
haunted? Like why do I feel like there's
a curse it? Might be Did I ever tell you?
OK, wait. We need to roll the Entrell.
(02:16):
Welcome back to the Pretty Funnypodcast.
I'm Brit. And I'm Mario, thanks for having
us. What are we talking about today?
Couple episodes ago we talked about doing a Defense Against
the Dark Arts and we had a lot of people call in and talk about
mythical creatures, paranormal experiences that they've had,
paranormal, paranormal, paranormal, paranormal
(02:40):
experience, experiences that they've had.
We thought that we would compilethem all and kind of do a fun
little Defense Against the Dark Arts episode.
Yeah, especially since we went and saw a couple of nights ago
the 28 years later. Very good.
Also, you had me very terrified.I thought it was gonna be super
scary. I thought I wasn't gonna be able
to sleep. It was super scary.
(03:00):
It really wasn't that bad. Well, it was very thrilling and
it was very scary, Yeah, but it had a really good story to it.
And yeah, I grew up. You hadn't seen and I don't
think you still have seen. No, I haven't seen the 1st.
Two yeah, 28 days later in 28 weeks later.
I wouldn't mind seeing them, butI.
No, we should watch them. Killian Murphy.
Yeah, that was like one of his first movies. 28 Days Later, and
(03:24):
it was like, recorded way back in the day.
I don't even know how long it was, maybe 28 years ago.
I don't know. Or like wasn't it recorded on an
iPhone or a? No, the newest one.
Was Oh, OK. Yeah, yeah, no, it was pretty
good. I, I don't know, I expect to be
a lot more scared. And that's coming from someone
who when I was little, Luigi's mansion haunted me and I
couldn't sleep because of Luigi's mansion.
(03:45):
I think I just hyped it up too much because the 1st 28 days
later the first one, that was one of the first scary movies I
ever saw and I was like preteen at a buddy's house.
It was on the TV, we watched it and it haunted me for months.
Anybody that's seen the original1 can attest to that because the
(04:07):
1st 2 are very like high paced like thriller cat and mouse
avoiding the zombies and you can't even really call them
zombies. People get offended if you call
the 28 Days Later zombies. Zombies you're supposed to call.
Them the rage. Yeah, they're, they're infected
by rage and you're supposed to refer to them as infected.
They're the infected. OK, like that fucking matters.
(04:29):
Well, I mean, I'm just. My first scary movie that I ever
saw was Paranormal Activity. And I was scarred.
And I was at my friend's house in Oregon and I couldn't sleep.
I was freaking out. And I didn't have a phone, but I
had a texting app on my iPod. And so I typed in my mom's phone
number and I was trying to text her.
And it was like 2:00 AM and I was like, mom, I'm so scared
(04:50):
right now. Help me.
And the person was replying and they were like, I'm not your mom
like this. I'm not your mother.
I'm sorry you have the wrong number.
And I was panicking. And I was like, mom, I know I'm
texting from an app. Like I know that it's, it's your
daughter, it's Bryn. Like I swear to God.
And they just kept saying like, it's not your mom.
And then I woke up the next morning and realized that I was
in fact texting the wrong number.
So some random person out there was getting texts from a 11 year
(05:15):
old Bryn at 2:00 in the morning being like help me there's
ghosts. And they just kept saying that
you weren't your mom and you thought you were.
In like, yeah, they were like, I'm sorry, like.
You got like Coraline more. To God that it was my mom that I
was texting. But it was the other mother, and
you were Coraline. Oh, God.
In the other dimension. You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah. Oh, I don't know.
(05:35):
We just unlocked your, like, mystery childhood trauma.
Is that the washing machine? Everything needs to stop being
so fucking go. Go shut the.
Scooby-doo spooky round here, you know what I mean?
OK, I'm going to shut the door. Yeah. 28 Days Later was the
first scary movie I'd ever seen.Yeah.
Really. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was like actually freaky. And I think what really set the
(05:58):
28 Days Later franchises zombiesinfected apart was because they
were infected by rage that are fast moving.
They were freaky. The makeup was really well done.
Yeah, they weren't like slow moving and they were like
fast-paced and they screeched and they would throw up and
they'd like very grotesque, verylike angrily like.
(06:19):
And the the 1st 2 movies were very high paced like that like
and there was definitely an homage to the prior movies with
the intro of this one. Which I missed because I was
waiting in line from mozzarella sticks.
The juice is definitely worth the squeeze if you go and see 28
years later. It was a good movie.
It filled the The Last of Us void.
(06:39):
That was in my heart, you know what I mean?
It was like the amount of actionthat we wanted to see from The
Last of Us that we didn't reallyget, especially there at the
end, yeah. But it was a really, really good
continuation of the franchise and they set up so the whole
movie was just a big setup for what I could see as like a whole
bunch of different TV series trilogy's movies that they get
(07:02):
set up because they made so manydifferent types of infected and
there were so many different like worlds within the 28 years
later in the in the cliffhanger at the end.
Yeah, in my opinion, my humble prediction is that they will
just then release another 28 days later.
Yeah. Or maybe they'll title it like
(07:22):
28 Years and 28 Days Later. That's I could see that.
That's actually a really good point.
Yeah, as like a next trilogy or even just to stand alone.
Because the way they set up the whole world's, like we were
saying like at all the differentlike types of infected, it would
just lead perfectly as a jump off point for the next franchise
of 28 days, 28 weeks and then maybe another 28 years.
(07:45):
Yeah. I think there's also a lot of
different storylines kind of within this one that they could
like do a lot of different things with and maybe they'll
interconnect again or whatever it might be.
Right after the movie, in my brain I was like, oh, they need
to do like one of those Amazon Prime, HBO, Netflix series and
feel free to steal this any network.
Just maybe put me in it as an extra or like, let me write an
(08:08):
episode. I don't know.
But like a 28 days before. Yeah.
And it's like the 28 days leading up to the original 28
days later, like what that lab looked like creating the rage
virus, like the infection that originally started everything.
I was like a series following that like 28 episodes would be
(08:30):
so cool. Or just following the. 28
episodes would be perfect. Yeah.
And I was like, I feel like there would be.
Or even two seasons in each is like 14 episodes whatever.
Yeah, exactly. And I feel like it would be a
really, really good little mini series, kind of like Andor on
like Disney Plus that they couldlike put into that universe.
I have a question for you, not to completely change the
(08:51):
subject, but what mythical creatures, if any, do you
believe in? That I actually believe in.
Yeah, because we don't. Bigfoot.
Bigfoot. Bigfoot.
Well, no, like it's not that I believe in Bigfoot.
I'm on the lookout though. Yeah, when we were driving
through Oregon, I was, I was looking.
That's what I mean. Like I don't believe, but like,
I still entertain the thought. I still actively look, yeah,
(09:15):
whenever we're going. Yeah.
Anyone that's been in the Pacific Northwest, up and down
the West Coast and you're driving over the Cascade
Mountain range, you're in Oregon, you're passing Mount
Rainier, Mount Baker Mount Put, all those.
Shasta Mount Hood. Yeah, you're driving around and
you're going through those Snoqualmie big mountain passes.
I feel so bad for everyone else in the country that's never
experienced that. Yeah, because it's literally the
(09:36):
most beautiful place on earth. But driving over these mountain
passes, it's just endless evergreens and trees, and I am
constantly looking for Bigfoot. It's been Bigfoot I spy my
entire life looking out. So dense in there and like, I'm
sure so much of it is undiscovered, has never been
touched. Like, no, there's got to be
(09:57):
something in there. There could be, and there very
well could have been. And I've seen the videos of,
Like, Bears on their hind legs and their bipedal, and they're
walking around and they look like a Bigfoot.
Like, like, there's plenty of explanation for there being a
Bigfoot or some sort of giant ape.
Yeah. Creature in the Pacific
Northwest. Too, you know.
(10:18):
Even if it's what? Extinct.
Yeah, that's what I mean. Like I believe.
It could have been. It could have been and I'm on
the lookout. I don't know if I necessarily
believe, and they could have very well died out, but there
could have been one relative, Harry and the Hendersons I.
Still haven't seen it. If you live in Washington or
Oregon and you haven't watched Harry and the Hendersons, how
(10:38):
dare you. That's all I have to say.
When I was younger, I was convinced that fairies exist.
You thought that fairy like it were a real thing?
Yeah. Oh, I would be playing in my
mom's backyard, which you've seen, you know what it looks
like. I would, like, go back and,
like, try to find fairies in thetrees.
Like, I was like, maybe I'll catch them slipping, which
there's a lot of people. There's like a whole community
(10:59):
that think that fairies exist orthey call them Faye Faye, like
on TikTok. Yeah.
And they'll make little circles of rocks and like they're up to
mischief and no good. Isn't that the whole fairy book?
That a court of horny roses the.There's fae in it, yes, Yeah.
Yeah, 50 Shades. No, but then.
People are talking about like real life, like actual like
people think that fairy. I think in Iceland they have
(11:20):
like little cubbies for them or something.
They like build little fairy houses.
You never know, like we don't know everything.
True. Do you think that witches exist?
Have they existed? Do you think witches have
existed? Currently they do.
Witchcraft is practiced. There's witches everywhere,
spooky baddies all over the place.
I've technically, we talked about it.
(11:41):
I kind of technically did witchcraft that one time when I
lived in Arizona. Oh yeah, if you touch a Ouija
board, congratulations, you're awitch.
No, I have not done that and I will never do that.
You put a little too much into asoup.
Congratulations, you're a witch.Would you touch a Ouija board?
Me. No, thank God, not that white.
Thank God, Jesus Christ, we think our house is haunted.
(12:01):
We don't need more to add into. That yeah, that's what I mean.
Like you play with any of that, you dance with the devil, with
Satan's asshole, you know you might get pink eye.
That might be the, that might bethe ex.
Jesus, what do I say? That might be the ex Catholics
in US though. Also is like I like the scariest
(12:21):
movies for me are devil ones or like demon or possession or like
anything that has to do with religion.
Never seen it. Never seen that one.
I think I know what you're talking about, but no.
But like insidious, terrified. Me.
Absolutely terrified me. The Conjuring.
Not. A fan.
Conjuring a fan? No.
The first Conjuring. Where were you when you first
(12:43):
saw the first Conjuring movie? No, it's so good.
It's. Terrifying isn't there?
Like the last ones coming out very soon.
Yeah, yeah, Oh yeah. They really built the.
We don't give The Conjuring verse enough credit because they
built a whole Marvel cinematic. Universe here.
Universe 2. Yeah.
Or like it's made by the. Same.
It's literally like the nun is Thanos and they were building up
(13:07):
to Thanos after all these years and the nun movie, the nun movie
is like where all of that accumulated.
And that was like the genesis oflike, yeah, Thanos, like getting
the Infinity Gauntlet. Yeah, it was like it was back
story. It was a whole back story.
Yeah. And Annabelle is almost like
Loki, if you like, want to compare the two.
I am so excited for all the movies coming out this summer.
(13:30):
I've been looking forward to a summer like this for such a long
time. Like, I love going to the
movies. You know, since we've been
together, I don't think we've gone more than a month without
at least going to see something at the theater.
Maybe two months, I don't know. But going to the theater is
something that I've always lovedto do, is something that I
always want to do. And like this summer, the whole
lineup, like I hold on. Yeah, you have screenshots.
(13:52):
It's like Superman. Yeah, like literally out right
now. How to Train Your Dragon. 28
years later. We just saw Banger, go see it.
And then these are all the movies that haven't come out
yet. F1, Jurassic World, Superman,
Eddington, Fantastic Four, HappyGilmore 2 together.
A 24 is cooking like a 24 has dropped heat all year.
(14:16):
The last couple years have gone to a 24.
They have carried everything andI feel like every other movie or
movie franchise since 8:24 has come out has tried to kind of
replicate that in their studios.They just have such a vibe about
them. Even though they'll have
different directors and different casts, obviously they
all still have a very similar vibe.
(14:36):
It feels organic and natural in,like, it doesn't feel
commercialed or like, you know what I mean?
It doesn't feel it's not produced.
None of them are very real. Yeah, they're real.
Even like when they're supposed to be cheesy, they're done in a
non cheesy way. And that's why I like 28 Years
Later so much too, is because when you watch it and you'll see
the special effects and just howthey shot the movie and how they
(14:58):
spliced it up, how they edited it.
It's very it it, it feels very British.
It feels like the the old moviesif you've seen them, but it's
very modernized. And it's, it's really, it's
suspenseful. It's great to watch and it's
very well done. And I fucking loved it so much.
While Bryn's in the bathroom, I'm going to continue to talk
about my thoughts and feelings of modern.
(15:22):
Oh my God, Bryn, your side Dick just messaged you.
Bryn's texting on her laptop. She doesn't know.
I can see it. I'm in the bathroom.
Mario not big. This is dumb.
I don't want to be. This is a dumb bit.
I do think this year though, 2025, little bit into 2024, has
(15:45):
been the best year for cinema, for TV.
The amount of shows that have come out, the amount of movies
that have come out, like I feel like we're back on track.
And I know this James Gunn Superman movie that's coming out
is literally going to be the equivalent of Iron Man for the
MCU. That happened way back in the
day. You know what I'm saying?
(16:06):
But like, in a way better like James Gunn is about the shape
and craft and release. Just an Onslaught bombardment of
awesomeness on all of us. With all these DC movies he's
about to drop in series and stuff.
Yeah, I never, ever, ever, ever,ever, ever thought that I would
be excited for something like this.
But knowing how excited you are has made me excited for Yeah,
(16:29):
Yeah. Do you want to listen to these
now? Yes, OK, a good job movies and
TV. You're doing great.
You're. Doing great.
OK. Hey Brennan, Mario, my name is
Reagan and I wanted to call in and talk about the mystical
creature that I believe in, which I hope you guys can
resonate with since you guys watch A Game of Thrones and
(16:50):
House of the Dragon. It's Dragons.
But basically my whole thing with Dragons is how do you
expect me to not believe that they're real or that something
that was like somewhat similar to them isn't real when they're
depicted in so many ancient cultures as different symbols of
things, And these cultures are not connected in any sort of
(17:13):
way. Like, I don't know, it just is a
little fishy to me. But not only that, part of me
wants to believe them because I think that they're cool and
awesome. And if you guys haven't read 4th
Wing, it's really good. So yeah, that's it.
OK, bye. My only thing with that, because
(17:34):
I fully agree with what you're saying and I like think that
that's really cool and a really nice thought to have.
Wouldn't there be fossils? Of the Dragons, yeah.
Well, what's interesting, and that's the main thing I always
bring up when it comes to Dragons, that if I'm very
interesting and she already saidit so well, is how every single
culture across all different spans of time ends up drawing
(17:56):
some like giant flying lizard that breathes fire.
Or at least that's what it lookslike or what it resembles the
most. And in my brain I was like,
well, if time travel or aliens or us from the future that can
go back to the past looking likealiens could ever do that, what
(18:16):
would we look like? And of course, like, if you
picture like modern technology and aircraft and what they're
capable of, it's a dragon. It's like literally a jet flying
over, shooting down. It's a dragon.
Yeah, but they don't look like lizards.
To an ancient civilization like mermaids look like manatees, you
know what I'm saying? So like, who knows?
(18:39):
You know when someone plays a game of telephone, a lot of have
you seen the pictures of and like, I would love this.
Show illustrations. I know, but have you seen the
pictures of elephants that like when, when Europeans like
travelled to America and came back and we're trying to draw
elephants and let people know what they look like?
Have you seen those? No, let's throw a couple of
(19:00):
those pictures up because, like,those pictures are hilarious.
Oh, you like that? Exactly.
You know, like crime scene photos.
Yeah, when people want a criminal drawn, they get the
sketch artist and so these explorers will come back and try
to describe an elephant to an artist and they draw it.
Well, you also have to think of like when people draw, like
(19:21):
people will take like tap fossils or whatever it might be,
and then they have like a persondraw them like how they would
for dinosaurs and they look wildly different than how we
know. Them.
Oh yeah, like a hippopotamus. Yeah, my other thing with
Dragons is if there's not fossils right then like do they
live forever and are they just in hiding?
(19:41):
And if so, then where? Like how to train your dragon
Hidden world? Yes.
Like did they go away at some point?
Were they some sort of advanced civilizations mode of
transportation? Yeah.
Whoa. Have you ever read all of the
lyrics to Puff the Magic Dragon?Isn't that the one about like,
meet the parents? It's about drugs.
It's about like. No, not at all.
(20:03):
What? That is no.
Yeah, and meet the parents, Ben.Stiller, Robert.
Deniro Oh, maybe they're. Talking about Puff the magic
Dragon and it's like a do. You know the lyrics though, no?
Do you know the story that the song tells?
No do. You want to cry?
No. Puff the magic dragon live by
the sea and frolics in the autumn mist in the land called
Hana Lee. Little Jackie Paper love that
Rascal Puff and brought him strings and sealing wax and
(20:26):
other fancy stuff. Oh, Puff the magic dragon live
by the sea and frolics in the autumn mist in the land called
blah blah blah blah. Together they would travel on a
boat with billowed sail. Jackie kept a lookout perched on
Puff's gigantic tail. Noble kings and Princess would
bow whenever they came. Pirate ships would lower their
flags when Puff roared out his name.
Then of course, a dragon lives forever.
But not so little boys. Painted wings and giants rings
(20:49):
make way for other toys. 1 Gray night it happened.
Jackie Paper came no more. And Puff, that mighty, that
mighty dragon, he seized his fearless roar.
He his head was bent in sorrow. Green scales felt like rain.
Puff no longer went to play along the Cherry Lane.
Without his lifelong friend. Puff could not be brave.
So Puff that Matty Dragon sadly slipped into his cave.
(21:12):
Explain it. So Puff the Dragon and Jackie
paper besties. They would hang out, go on
adventures. Yeah.
And then one day, Jackie either grew up or died.
See, that's why I'm like. And never visited Puff anymore.
And Puff was so depressed that he went to his cave forever.
I immediately had the the thought of Inside out when go
(21:35):
save Riley like so that's what that storyline is of.
But it literally says it says a dragon lives forever but not so
little boys like. So it's almost like a Peter Pan.
I don't know. I just when I was little, I
would loved that song. I loved the song.
And then I at my grandma's house, she had like a music book
(21:56):
and it had that in it with all the lyrics and I read through
all of them and like would sing it crying to myself as a child.
It's sad. That's a very sad, like, that's
a very sad allegory for like, your imagination dying or like a
child being taking too soon. Yeah, which I've also a 24.
(22:18):
HBO, Netflix, Amazon. If you want to steal my idea,
just include me in the movie. Maybe let me write an episode.
But I had the idea of a Peter Pan movie, right?
But there there's always those theories about like how Peter
Pan's the bad guy. He's like a kid that just won't
let other kids grow up and like kidnap them.
And Captain Hook is like trying to save his children or like
(22:40):
trying to save children. Or he's a grown up that escaped
that came back with other grown-ups that had escaped to
like save the the lost boy. You know, like that, like
explore that, make that into a movie, whatever, like you were.
Going to say that they should make a puff the magic dragon
movie because I would watch likean E24 puff the magic dragon
(23:00):
movie. That like explores like.
Jackie Paper and yeah, and like the themes and like the.
Well, just say that it. Would be a depressing movie too.
Dragons are believable to me though, because I mean,
dinosaurs existed. We have bearded Dragons.
We have Komodo Dragons, bearded Dragons, we have lizards today.
We have. And like, who knows what
(23:21):
happened between before? Who knows?
You know what I'm saying? No one knows.
Hi, Brandon Mario, my name is Aaron.
I'm calling him from Georgia. Before I respond to your prompt,
I wanted to say I love y'all so much.
I listen to your podcast every week.
I follow both of y'all. I love both of your content.
I actually identify very heavilywith y'all's relationship
(23:41):
because my boyfriend and I got together the exact same day that
y'all did last year. And he's kind of the funny guy
that bagged the Batty and I'm the Batty that's into makeup,
hair, you know, nails, all of that stuff.
So I identify with y'all very heavily.
Love you both. To respond to your prompt, I
firmly believe that mermaids arereal.
Well aside from aliens. We already know aliens as the
(24:02):
government told us that. I believe mermaids are real and
this is my reason for it. We only know 5% of the creatures
in the ocean. Of everything that we know, we
only know 5% and humans are going to human and everything
that lives, breathes and habits earth.
We feel like we have ownership or some type of right to.
(24:24):
I believe that the last time mermaids were on the surface,
people tried to unalive them or capture them.
And they were like, you know what?
We're not doing this anymore. And so they chose to go to the
depths of the ocean and, you know, through evolution have
just been able to evolve and survive down there.
And they want to stay hidden. And that explains why we've
never seen them, because they don't want to be found because
(24:47):
humans tried to kill them. So that's my two cents on
mythical creatures that I believe are alive.
And thank y'all, I love you guys, you're pretty funny.
We love you. Love.
Love. Love, love, love.
I Yeah. Mermaids scare me.
I don't like ocean stuff at all.I don't like believing anything
in the oceans real I. Like we also think about like
evolution. I was about to say if y'all
(25:09):
believe in that, please for the love.
If y'all. Believe in evolution.
Y'all believe in that futuristicthinking about?
I was going to say the. Holy.
Spirit, make the babes. I'm so sorry that makes the
(25:30):
babies you hurt. You're still going.
Go ahead, tell them. Tell them about how evolution
ain't real, honey. Go ahead.
It would make sense though if like when we were formed there
was also like a formation of humans that were like
evolutionized to live underwaterrather than on land.
Yeah, there's like tribes and villages and places all over the
world, and I know there's one inparticular and I don't want to
(25:51):
get wrong where they're from, but.
Oh, it's Sentinel N Sentinel Island.
Maybe, but the people there, thebabies can swim before they can
walk, and they live primarily onthe water.
It's like water world in real life.
That's cool. That's not the one I was.
Yeah, like live on like huts andstuff and boats and they swim
and like, they just kind of liveon the water like that.
(26:11):
Yeah. You know.
Yeah. You know, it's really.
Cool. I think I know what you're.
I think I've heard of what you're talking at.
Yeah, talking at, talking about.No, I just know I like, I
watched a lot of National Geographic and Discovery and
Animal Planet and all that stuffgrowing up.
Deep, dark water is just terrifying to me.
Yeah, like Jaws. Never seen it.
You ever seen Jaws? No.
(26:32):
Oh my God. Obviously I know Jaws, but I've
never seen Jaws. It's.
So scary it's the scariest movieof all time.
It's Jaws. Universal fear of sharks just
because of one movie. There's never been a movie
scarier than Jaws. Are you going to look at me and
tell me I'm wrong? Name a movie scarier that has
had that big molesting impact. Oh.
(26:53):
That's what I'm saying. Like everyone is literally.
Scared with me though, I'm not scared of sharks.
You're scared of sharks because of the propaganda of the Jaws
movie that was released. Before you I literally just said
I'm not scared of sharks. You're not scared of them at
all. I'd be scared if I was in the
water with them, but I would also be scared if I was in the
water. Listen.
To me, I would all shut your trap.
(27:16):
I would also be scared of a whale in the water with me, but
that's not because of Jaws. I'm scared of fish in general
and you know this. I'm also scared of moths.
Is that because of Jaws? So if you're in a pool and a
goldfish swims by you and then agreat white shark swims by you,
you're either one, you're going to be just as scared.
(27:37):
Have you seen me around fish in water?
Actually, have you? I'm being so serious.
Have you seen me around fish in water?
Yeah. When?
When we were in California, Huntington Beach, and I was
like, oh, there's a little bit of water and you're like, say
that these are like running turnto the beach.
Yeah, yeah, No, I know you're scared, but I know if I was
(27:58):
like, there's a great white shark coming at you at 30 mph
that's mouth open, you might have been a little more dramatic
than just going in the do you understand what I'm saying now?
I feel like you're a little morescared of sharks than you give
yourself. Credit for no.
Oh my God. I think I could survive.
(28:20):
A shark? Yeah.
What would you do if a shark came at you?
Punch it in the nose. Well, I know that's what you're
supposed to do, but would you actually do that?
Yeah. You got it.
You think if I'm getting bid, I'm not going to just be like,
like just wherever the fuck I am?
You're in. You're in the water.
OK, so. No.
Can you? You got to hear me out.
(28:41):
You're in the water. OK.
Tour board. Tour Board.
No, get that the fuck tour boardsay toy boat three times fast.
Toy bike title. Got that.
(29:02):
Keep it in. Don't lick the microphone.
You don't know where that's been.
Yeah. I do.
Yeah, I did. You were snorkeling.
OK, Listen to me. Listen.
This is real, Britain. This is real.
This is a hypothetical. That I need you to take
seriously. Like it is real.
(29:24):
OK, You're in the water. You're snorkeling.
I wouldn't be. Snorkeling.
You don't have a choice. It's my hypothetical.
You have to do exactly I would say.
No, before I got in the water tosnorkel.
I don't fuck with snorkeling 'cause I'm scared of fish.
There you dig the D Let me EW. No, it's your feet.
(29:47):
I do not feel like being touched.
But look at how. EW feels like your hands start
to grab just. Continue.
So I'm snorkeling, which I wouldn't be.
You're snorkeling. Which I wouldn't be.
The tour boat leaves you. It's getting dark.
It's just light enough to where you could see about 10 feet deep
into the crystal Clearwater and the below that it's just pure
(30:09):
darkness. But you know, it's 100 feet deep
at a minimum. OK.
The sun's slowly going down, andas you turn around you see a
dorsal fin attached to what looks like an upside down
rowboat of a great white shark swimming directly by you, not at
you, to show you it's gargantuansize.
(30:33):
Keep in mind, this thing's literally the size.
Keep in mind, I wouldn't. It's the size A.
What? Of a Hyundai.
It's the size of a Honda Civic. Friend, I wouldn't be
snorkeling. You're telling me that you're
not scared right now You got. I checked out after you said
(30:53):
snorkeling. I wouldn't be snorkeling.
A Toyota Corolla with teeth swims right by you and you're
just like, I wouldn't even be here in this hypothetical,
idiot. Yeah.
That's you. Yeah, God.
I hate this so much. Why?
Because you're scared of sharks.Because of the Jaws movie Bryn,
(31:15):
it's called the law of Quantum. Super.
I've literally never seen the movie.
It's called the law. I know what you're talking about
because everyone else made sharks scary because of Jaws.
I get where you're getting at. I'm being obviously stubborn and
I wouldn't be snorkeling. Thank you.
You want me to suck these? Yeah.
Put some honey on them. Stop.
(31:40):
Get your feet away from me. Look how hairy my legs are too
it. Feels like a little baby's hand
trying. That's not little I.
Don't want to say it feels like a toddler's hand.
Crap. Damn it.
Get your little hands away from me, please, Bran.
(32:02):
I don't like feet. EW, they're gross.
I don't like your little feet onme.
You know your callousy gross feet blur her feet.
God. It's called the law of quantum
superstition. It's what made Jaws successful
(32:23):
with their point of view shots, POV shots you guys might know
from other means of media. Anyways, the whole movie there's
no shark, but it's shot from thepoint of view of the shark and
your mind. You don't show the shark at all.
Pretty much the whole movie theydon't.
So they do. It's well, at the very end they
(32:44):
do, but it's left to the audience's imagination to fill
in the gaps of their most terrifying version of whatever
that shark could look like. If your brain can't do that,
then the movie's not scary to you.
Or if your brain's not doing that, or if that's not what
you're actively trying to do while watching movies like that,
then you're not going to enjoy yourself.
And like, I can watch The Blair Witch Project, which was the
(33:07):
same premise. It's just like found footage and
you don't see nothing, but like,things are happening, you know
what I mean? And that's not scary to me, but
like the sharks scary to me justbecause sharks are that scary to
me. And I watched it way too young.
OK. You ever been like inner tubing
and you fall off and you're likein the lake and you're like.
(33:28):
If there's like sharks in a lake.
And you're waiting for the the boat to come back.
You're. Going to tell me in Lake
Charlotte sharks, they're not sure.
You know when you're floating and you could see your legs like
this underneath you and they're taking your time to get back to
you and you're like, wait, what if like a orca or a leopard seal
(33:50):
or one of those moose feeding onthe kelp down below me?
I feel like I have too much of an active imagination.
Hi, Bran. Hi, Maria.
I just wanted to call in for your prompt for this leak, and
this isn't solely on topic but Ithink it counts as mystical
magical creatures. So my family is Swedish, my
(34:13):
grandma emigrated here from Stockholm and got married and
all sorts of other fun things when she was young and I ended
up living with her for a few years when family stuff
happened. Anyways that's besides the
point. So we she always had these
little like troll dolls around the house.
(34:35):
And growing up, part of the Scandinavian culture is that you
are not allowed to call them ugly.
You cannot call them ugly or they will give you the worst
luck. And they will like come out in
the middle of the night and be all mischievous and kind of like
gremlins. Like they'll do anything like
make your day hard tomorrow. Like if you have an outfit laid
(34:56):
out and you called them ugly theday before, they'll go and
they'll steal the shorts that you need for that outfit.
Like they're showing more thingsthat they do too.
And I will vouch that it is true.
My little sister had a girl on her softball team that came over
and called them ugly. Oh, I got 50 seconds left, they
called them ugly. And the next game she could not
hit a ball at all the entire time.
(35:17):
And she's always been their number one hitter.
So just saying they're real. They are real.
Have you ever watched Gnomeo andJuliet?
Talking about trolls I've known.OK, have you ever watched Gnomeo
and Juliet? No.
Really. I well I know the story of Romeo
(35:38):
and Juliet, which I think was loosely based off Gnomeo and
Juliet. I think Romeo and Juliet was
loosely on Gnomeo and Juliet if I'm not mistaken, so the story
might be similar. It just made me think of it
because I don't know. Gnomes aren't trolls, obviously,
(35:59):
but like, it's a banger movie, Jameson.
Oh my God, look at the castlist.Look at the castlist.
He. Gets.
Do you see? It Jason.
State controls are real and you go just reminded me that you
know you know, me and Julie lookat the castlist.
(36:22):
No, actually look at the castlist.
Like, look at this fucking Dolly.
Dolly Parton, Ozzy Osbourne, Patrick Stewart.
Yeah, Hulk Hogan. James McAvoy.
Jim Cummings. Jason Statham.
Maggie Smith. Hulk Hogan.
Yeah. What the fuck?
I told you it's a good movie. Doesn't necessarily make it a
(36:44):
good movie. Have you seen it?
Stephen Merchant. It's good.
I haven't seen Romeo. I've seen it like way too many
times for some reason. Actually, this could be a good
one for us to start falling asleep too.
Anyway, the trolls thing is crazy.
I it's their whole culture, I think.
Scandinavia, I think it's their entire culture, that's what.
(37:06):
I thought she'd said she's like,Scandinavian culture believes in
trolls, and you're like, well, don't believe it.
No, I was about to talk about superstitions in general.
No, but about the trolls. Do we think that they're real?
Do people not have like securitycameras in their house?
Sounds like like Elf on the Shelf, yeah.
But like everybody I know. But think about it like everyone
(37:27):
nowadays, at least one person over there is going to have a
camera in their kitchen. How ugly are these trolls to
wear like? Don't call them ugly.
Tempting to call them ugly you. Don't.
They're literally not ugly. You put like a mega hat on it.
It's cool though. Yeah, no, the trolls are cool.
You got to pay the troll toll tobe inside this bull soil.
(37:50):
You got to pay the troll toll tobe inside this bull sole.
What is that from? You don't know what I'm If you
know, you know. Can you just tell me?
Day man, master of the night man.
(38:11):
Can you just tell me? Champion of the sun, a master of
karate and friendship for everyone.
A day, man. Go.
OK. It's from It's Always Sunny in
Philadelphia. Oh, cool.
If you know, you know. The Trolls movie.
I never watched the Trolls movies.
Need more glitter is. That what that's from.
(38:31):
Yeah. I told you we need more glitter.
Yeah, the Trolls movies are pretty good actually.
How old were you when Gnomeo andJuliet came out?
Came out in 2011. I was 13.
Yeah, no. So trolls sounds pretty cool.
Sounds like a good way to make sure your kids are behaving.
Yeah, it is giving like Elf on the Shelf.
(38:54):
Learn your rules. You've got to learn your roles.
If you don't, you'll be eaten inyour sleep.
We have one more for Mythical. One more for mythical Benson
Boone. How do we feel?
Ice cream. Did you see he has a cookie at
Crumble right now? Yeah, we talked.
We saw my Coachella and we said that he was a hell of a
(39:16):
performer. Yeah.
And I feel like we said that. Do I think that Moonbeam Ice
Cream is a good is a good song? No.
Do I feel like he's over hated? Yes.
Do I like him? Like when I go out of my way to
listen to his music. Yeah, people don't know how to
be good quality haters nowadays,you know what I mean?
(39:36):
Like, let's say Benson Boone, for instance, does one too many
backflips. He sings a mystical, whimsical
moon beam ice cream. I call things Moon Beam ice
cream all the time now, actually.
And I'm like, I don't know if this is going to be all moon
beam ice cream. You know, like, literally.
Like he, he's a silly, goofy dude doing silly, goofy shit.
(39:58):
And is it a little cringy? Little, is it a little corny?
Is it a little over the top? Yeah.
And I think that's the point. And I feel like people give him
so much hate. For just that.
Yeah. Where it's almost like, OK,
like, all right, all right, relax.
Like, it's not that. It's not that bad.
It's a dude prancing around in tights making music that's
pretty enjoyable, pretty harmless.
(40:20):
Like, yeah, he's a. Good.
I mean, like, why we're why are we hating so hard and like.
People love to hate on it. And like with Huda, like I was
hating a little bit earlier, butI completely know at the end of
the day. People were like doxing her.
That's what I. Mean I'm like what?
It's horrible. I'm like, you can politely hate
where you go, hey, this is silly.
This is what I'm seeing. Hey, this is.
(40:42):
Whatever, you can have an opinion and then watch me in a
couple weeks. Maybe when we watch Love Island,
whatever. Maybe I'm like, oh, that's
really cool. You know, she's found happiness
and like, or maybe she's off theshow, but like she's doing
better. Like that's the whole thing is
just being able to have multipleopinions and evolve.
(41:04):
And why am I ranting so much about this?
Went back to Love Island somehow, some way, you really
are upset. I fucking hate love.
Island. Yeah, I can tell.
When I was at the dispensary, being the bud tender, we full
on. We're just like talking about
Love Island. He's like, what's your plans for
this weekend? Oh my God.
And I said Love Island. Yeah, I guess I'm watching the
(41:25):
show. No more faking it, guys.
I. Don't think you were convincing
1 singular person because you have brought it up a lot.
Of people, you know, see me, hear me, look at me and they go
no way. That's super masculine,
dominant, manly, just huge. What?
(41:47):
Mummy my screen taking off, dancing in the.
Magical. Look at the kitties.
We had them outside and then they started going crazy at the
door and I guess they were having withdrawals.
(42:09):
Everyone say hi to smokes. Hi smokes.
Cosmos down here as you guys saw.
We have one more mystical, magical.
Oh, let's do it. We'll try not to yap too much.
This is so much fun. I love this defense against the
dark odds. We haven't really given any good
defense, you know what I mean? You know.
(42:30):
What was the first one? Dragons.
Yeah, so how would what, what doyou think the best defense for a
dragon is? I know my answer right off the
rim. Exactly.
Yeah, a donkey. A well hung donkey.
You know what I'm saying? A smooth talking funny.
(42:50):
Mate with the dragon. That's why I'm saying if that's
what it takes, oh, that's all ittakes.
Take it from me, you know, beingthe silly, goofy, whimsical
dude, you can slay the dragon. I mean, look at this beautiful
dragon right here, Anti nothing more than a mule or her
entertainment. Isn't that not what happened
(43:12):
between us? You.
Want to be Donkey and the dragonfor Halloween?
Oh my God, yes, let me add it tothe list.
Yeah. Hi Mari Winburn, love the
podcast. On the note of mythicality, I am
from Scotland where our nationalanimal is a Unicorn, we have a
Loch Ness Monster called Nessie and we have we fluffy Haggai
(43:34):
that run about the hills. Just wanted to know what your
thoughts were about these thingsand if you had any local legends
from where you're from. Bye.
Wait, hold on. What was that last one that she
said? High dye and we have we fluffy
high dye that run a bit the hills.
We fluffy hair dye, no? And.
We have we fluffy high dye that run a bit the hills.
(43:57):
That I. I have no idea, I don't have a
mythical creature from my hometown.
Which also very cool. Would love to live in Scotland
purely for the fact that the Unicorn is the.
From Scotland. I am Scottish.
I'm Scottish and our animal is the Unicorn.
But I've. Seen one?
We don't have a mythical creature that lives in my
(44:20):
hometown, but we do have something called Mel's Hole,
which is an urban legend centered around a purported
bottomless pit near Ellensburg, WA, popularized by a caller
named Mel Waters on the radio show Coast to Coast.
There is a hole in my hometown that emits strange sounds.
There's claims that it can transform objects, bring dead
(44:42):
animals back to life, and it is seemingly bottomless.
So like people have stuck thingsdown there and it just goes on
literally forever. People think that it's like a
gateway to hell. You have fucking Penny Wises
wishing well or fucking the Demogorgon's lair.
(45:02):
Yeah. In your hometown.
But it's never been found and it's considered to be a myth
related legend. You have pet cemetery in your
hometown where they could raise things from the dead.
Have you never heard about this?Which is like, that's surprising
because you're also from Washington and it's like a very
popular thing. I mean, like earlier on the
podcast, we were talking about how where we're from, Washington
(45:25):
State, the local legend is Bigfoot and it's everywhere.
Everywhere you go, especially when you're in the mountainous
regions, you, you run into a lotof Bigfoot merch.
Bigfoot's a big deal. I got Bigfoot stuff.
We have a lot. Of Bigfoot stuff.
Actually, yeah. Oh my God, Brynn, did you not
look at the door like someone's standing?
(45:46):
I was looking at. Oh my God my heart just fell on
my ass. Oh my God, do you want to?
Come here. No, he likes me.
No, he's just rubbing his Dick on my laptop.
We saw Death of a Unicorn, we talked about that.
That was another pretty decent A24 flick if you're looking for
something to watch. Brynn can barely wrangle a cat,
(46:07):
so I don't think we're going to do too hot against some
mythical, magical, whimsical moonbeam ice cream.
Got him. Got.
Him got. Him.
Rest in peace. I actually met that guy.
Wait, really? Yeah, I think he's dead.
Sad. I believe, if I'm not mistaken,
(46:28):
that the next podcast, it doesn't air on your birthday,
but your birthday is a couple days after it.
So it's going to be your birthday podcast.
Yeah, I think, Yeah, I think, yeah.
So are you excited? I mean, I guess so.
Do you want to do anything special for it?
For the podcast, yes, I want to do it like yours, where people
can call in if they want to watch me.
(46:48):
Happy birthday, they can. But like more importantly, I
think it'd be super fun to do like a fun prompt or like, let's
get some more dudes calling in. I think we've had two dudes call
in. Well, we might not have more,
but Emma goes through all of them and.
That's true. So there might be more.
Well, I just feel like the majority of people calling in
have been women and there's no problem with that whatsoever.
(47:11):
But I know that there's a lot ofdudes listening to the show.
I know there's a lot of dudes maybe listening alongside, you
know, their girlfriend, their wife, their, I don't know what
rank the baddie in your household is, but like what?
Whatever the case may be, maybe just a fun prompt birthday.
We can post one on our stories because.
(47:32):
People know, pay attention to our our stories.
If you have any specific questions for me, if you're a
dude, good time to be a first time caller, maybe on my
birthday podcast, like to see the dude's perspective of this
podcast. You know, we're approachable,
we're coachable. And I don't know.
And then just anything, obviously, like Brynn said, you
(47:54):
guys know my my special interests and things that we've
talked about on this podcast. Maybe something you'd like me to
double down on that I would loveto yap about?
I think something that could be cool too is I feel like a lot of
people do know what your specialinterests are.
If you have like a very unknown fun fact about anything cool
that you think Mario would enjoy, I think that could be fun
(48:16):
for you. Oh yes, yeah.
And that'd be really cool because there's a lot of things
I want to get into that I haven't got into like Dungeons
and Dragons, like so many different games that are either
Co-op that we could play together, that I could play on
my own. I don't know.
Yeah, just suggestions and. Whatever you see.
Whatever. You're feeling like yeah, so
feel free to call in as much as you can.
(48:37):
Look at Cosmo. I know he's really cute.
The Kitty is on the ground, belly up, begging for rubs.

ever seen in my life. Anyways, we love you guys so
