Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
A little crypt and this is a script. I want
to quit us against my enemies. Yeah, you see, you
wanted to say and then learn how to raise you,
but Apple get you from the wielder.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hello everyone, what is up? I'm Rob I'm naming Monster Falls.
Coming live to your fucking living room?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Do it live?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Where do you listen to podcast the most? The cards,
the shower.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
The bed.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Where do you listen to your podcast? Tell me maybe
the bed.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I like this podcast. I want to sleep, yeah, but
no other than that, if I like, I can't really
listen properly at work because I have too much stuff,
Like I can't just stay there. People be at me
the whole time. But usually if I'm just on the
weekend walking around, or if I was at the gym
or something like that, just keep it in the old
old years. Yeah, I've stopped going to the gym. I'm

(01:08):
doing a thing with Paula. It's like she ordered some
It's basically just squats forever, forever, Squats Brazil. After losing
to just doing her stuff though and not going to
the gym, so now I'm starting.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
To doubt the gym.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
And well, I think in the gym you probably do
put on muscle, but your diet isn't great, So you're
just a bigger version of yourself because I just look
the same but less. Yeah, you know, squats are good.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
They work every the biggest body, your legs, your biggest
muscles in the body, brother which your legs, your quad's are.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
To be fair, it's it's kind of I guess it's
kind of like hit in that it's but it's not
heavy on the cardio. So today was just all squats
and then I use a might do it with no
kettle bell to get a bit of extra bang for
my book. Yeah, but that's that's what I do. But
I can't listen to podcasts doing that, So I would
have listened to a lot more when I was going
to the gym a few days a week.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
True.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
True, you know, I just listened to going I yea.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Good sound.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, wherever you listen, it doesn't matter. What does matter, though,
is that you head on over and check out our Patreon.
Amazing stuff is over there. Let's get the like into
the Garden of Eden, or that there's no snake the
libraries of Alexandria before they were burned. Yes, like that

(02:34):
so head on over check that out. Also coming up
Spotify Wrapped is probably the end of this month, so
do remember us when you get your little thingy. Leave
us a tag. Tag us on Instagram. All that we love.
All that for this time of year. Yeah, you can
pay for years as well if you want. Overround the
old Patreon and Aim. And if they've got any spooky stories,

(02:56):
scrypted encounters or anything like that, where should they write in?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
If you've ever been scared shirtless, please write in and
tell us about it. Monster Phoz Podcast at gmail dot com.
And just before we go on, Robert, I have a
little announcement to make.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
We gone trans.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
We've gone trans. No we are two of us twos
have gone trans. I'm Amy and your little here from
now on, no one of our One of our patrons,
Papa Squatch, has started his own podcast and it's called
The Fright Brothers. So go and listen to the Fright Brothers.

(03:33):
I haven't checked if they're actually on Spotify nowhere they're
going to go. Yeah, brothers are right feeling all right.
I don't know if they have that, but you have
to give us every time, like literally the hemorrhaging cash.
We don't have any music on this week's episode.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, I'll go check it out Fox. Is it good?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I don't know, but I have a chance to listen myself.
But I said that I would. I'd bring it up
in the next mini fos.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
There's some man, right, I'm spreading the PSYCHLD local radio
that I was.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Gonna write back and just go, don't you dare take
over my market share? But I didn't. I said, look,
it's enough to go around, and but enough to go around,
I mean there's very little around, so little that it
doesn't bother anyone to promote other podcasts.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Big turn your patron, missus Melissa, Melissa. That's a couple
of females in the last week, Emden. We're somewhat of
a female listening to podcast, and.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Ever since we went trans we're probably just attracting more
women to the They're like those girls are like me.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
So I was thinking, actually most I might be wrong
on this, but females generally the podcast that listen to
it's either female hosts or gay lads. This is just
the magical. So maybe the.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Are we are we the outliers? Yeah? I think we
already are we the inlawyers?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think we already outlayers.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I think I don't know. We have a lot of
female listeners. We do, are a lot of female patrons,
and yeah we don't. Yeah, I don't understand fifty fifty split.
It says we don't seem to care about what we say, but.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Are sort of a sex symbole. Lemon, you know what
I mean, not as much as you wanted.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Then you're talking about you like, yeah, that's me the e.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
You've won.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Three years and a four years, and I think you
want that Denzel. Yeah, look like they say, like, of
all the white men in the world, I'm one who
looks most like Denzel. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, No, I don't know what it is, man, It's
just it's just one of those observations I've noticed and stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
You look like Denzel.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
No, no, no, that we're sort.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Of yeah, I don't know. I don't know what it is.
I'd tell people just everyone likes to get a bit spooked.
That's true.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Actually, genre, the spook genre. Now, those attract the old ladies,
that little bit of spooker, and.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Ladies that the ladies who like getting spooked love getting spooked.
Like if a girl likes getting spooky.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Boot times.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
So how do we go?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
This is a This is a news article that ties
in very much with a lot of the stuff that
we talk about, and it basically means that we're right
about everything, and also that gsts are real. And this
article is that there has been found or sorry, evidence
has been found that we have a sixth sense.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Let's go correct. I like, anecdotally, I believe most people
would suspect that we did.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Now this this is a sense that you can't see
both we share it with birds. No, it's like a
perceptive sense that is not from your eyes, from your top.
One might be from your touch. Pub we'll get into them,
and do you want to read this hour?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
In a first, scientists believe they have confirmed we have
another sense, a remote touch, that we share with others
in the animal kingdom, like some shore bird species that
can sense pray beneath sand without seeing or touching at first.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, cool.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Researchers at Queen Mary, University of Land Dan and University
College of London set out to investigate whether the same
kind of sense that the birds use to guide them,
or tiny shifts in the movement of sand grains alerts
an individual to food might be more common amongst animals.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
So the idea is basically like if you're digging, so
I say you're at the base and you're digging through sand,
like they seem to reckon from these studies that you
can actually kind of people will kind of know where
the item is before they find.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
It, Okay, and it's like the micro movements of the
grains of sand or they're.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Something like that, this is it or do we have
some kind of like sense.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm going to bend the spooling. It's the first time
the remote touch has been that's funny, remote touch, like
remote viewing, but remote touch.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
It's the first time remote touch has been studied in humans,
and it changes our conception of the perceptual world, which
is called the receptive field in living beings, including humans.
And the person who said this was Elisabeta Versace, who
leads the Prepared Mind's Lab at the Queen Mary University
testing out their granular media particle interaction theory. Versace, I'm

(08:24):
assuming that's Versace.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's the same as Versace, VERSACEI Versace, Versace, VERSACEI Medusa
head on me like I'm Luminadi.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
No Versace designated excuse me. Versace designed an experiment to
recreate what happens when shorebirds are foraging on sand. Essentially,
here we go, here's here's the science. Subtle mechanical shifts
occur when pressure changes in the medium, in this case sand,
as a hand or a beak nears a buried object.

(08:54):
In this study, participants moved their fingers through sand in sir,
such of a concealed cube. But we're asked, but we're
asked to identify where it was before they actually made
contact with it. The researchers then pitted the participants up
against a robot loaded with a long short term memory algorithm,

(09:15):
and the human hands recorded nearly twice the success rate
at sensing they were close to the cube compared with
the artificial censor rabat. Yeah, we're twice as good as you.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's about that.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
What a loser. Metal detectors them make me stop foraging.
I am not good at this. I feel bad about myself.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I knew robouts. Actually some of them are Freddy Fastest,
Russia fluts ours. I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Is this the one where the fellow was in the kitchen?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
They did this robot like one of these upright kind
of animatronic dudes, and they pulled back the car. Don't
then you just fell over as far as the ground.
And they're hurriedly truer cart and ova and sort of
moved on about their day. But yeah, robots, you know
what they're getting there now slowly.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I think there's a good few years left in that,
A good few years left in that. And if if,
what I've been reading about AI is correct that it's
a circular funding system, a fake yeah, fake nails, everything's fake.
I did not suck Bobba's one. I read that one, Bubba.

(10:28):
Oh my god. A load of emails were released in
the Epstein.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Fire Oh yes, yeah, Buba. Now I don't watch that
about Yeah, the Epstein files are good. Maybe we'll talk
about them at the.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
End of the night. We'll know, we'll know very little,
talk like we're very averse. In the wholding forgetting within
the expected detectible range, human scored seventy point seven percent.
What a time to be alive, stopping within six point
nine centimeters with a median proximity of two point seven
since centimeters, compared with forty percent from the programmed robot

(11:01):
and loser. This the researchers believe is enough to confirm
that we can sense an object before we touch it
when it's through a medium like sand that delivers cues
through displacement and tiny changes in pressure. Okay, there we go.
I was wondering, was it a psychic thing? But it's not.
It's it's this tiny changes impresser. But it means that, Yeah,

(11:23):
it's it's effectively a sense of touch. But like gone wild.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, I suppose that can sort of if they can
harness and don't know exactly what it is, they can
maybe make kind of cool sensory mediums for you to
move around and with that, if you get me. Yeah,
I mean, like I don't know how they would actually
do it, but once they can kind of quantify it,
they might be able to make something cool with it
for us to mess around with, do you know what

(11:49):
I mean? Like a game out of it or something.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I was kind of thinking VR and like some sort
of a glove that.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Emulated something like. It's one of those things that I
suppose if they can pin it down, then yeah, they
might be able to refine the sensation and figure out,
you know, how you can become like this is one
that I always use is like, you know, when you're younger,
like you're listening to music, it's great, whatever, whatever, But
then when you actually learn an instrument, you can actually

(12:17):
hear that instrument property in the song. Yes, And what
I mean decide is like you can actually paris out
the song kind of properly. I always find out. Before
I learned how to play instruments, you'd hear the song,
but you're more hairing the song as a whole.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
It's like not being able to see the wood for the.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Tree exactly, but when you know you can kind of
So I wonder is there anything that they can if
they can refine this kind of sense, which is, you know,
I suppose kind of like hair in a way. Is
there anything that they can do with it to make
it kind of cool? Make something come from it? I
don't know who knows.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Do cool things tists. The researchers hope to use these
findings to help improve robotic touch, something that harnesses a
kind of natural sensitivity in real word situations such as
excavation and search and rescue. Up, okay, that's fair. The
discovery opens possibilities for designing tools and assistive technologies that
extend human tactile perception, said zenk Chen, a researcher in

(13:13):
the Advanced Robotics labs at Queen Mary good lad good
name actually.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Character it is.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Ze versus dona versace. These insights could inform the development
of advanced robots capable of delicate operations, for example locating
archaeological artifacts without damage, or exploring sandy or granular terrains
such as Martian soil or ocean floors. More broadly, this

(13:43):
reachert paves the way for touch based systems that make
hidden or hazardous explorations safer, smarter, and more effective. While
the study has its limitations from the controlled lab experimental
design to a lack of mechanical analysis of the sand
displacement and the participants sensed the imminent object, it opens

(14:04):
the door to further investigation with a larger population and
different mediums. What makes this research especially exciting is how
the human and robotics studies informed each other. Instead, Lorenzo
Gemone and Jam Jam Associate Professor, Let's go and check
out these robots. Lorenzo's soil, Lorenzo's oils, and this is

(14:28):
soils like grains, fucking hung game on me ridiculous. So
he is the Associate Professor in Robotics and AI at
uc L. The human experiments guided the robots learning approach,
and the robots performance provided new perspectives for interpreting the
human data. It's a great example of how psychology, robotics,

(14:49):
and artificial intelligence can come together, showing that multidisciplinary collaboration
can spark both fundamental discoveries and technological innovation.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
What do you reckon about that and potential sense?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
It's mad, isn't it? Because you would kind of see
I've never really dug for something, like I have dug
for something in the sand, but I didn't know that
there would be something there, whereas in this experiment they
knew something was there.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
If that makes sense, Yeah, I think it's like so
I said, if there was like a ball in the
middle of a box of sand and you put your
hands in, It's like it's more about if my understanding
is correct, like the volume of sand that you're picking
up as you get closer to the ball, maybe is
what's the kind that you're figuring out the displacement of
the sand Because of the object and.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Because of the way, probably using the wrong terminologies here,
but because you would see changes in the way it
moves that you'd imagine it'd be more compact on top
of the ball exactly. I think stuff like that. But
we must have some kind of a sense from the
thousands and thousands of years of foraging maybe that we

(15:55):
would have done this to try and find stuff, you know,
in some of the.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Way we were digging, I suppose, because I don't know
if necessarily, I mean, I don't know if you go
back far enough, like I do know that like the
reason that we're upright is because we well it's speculated
the reason that were upright is because we hunted in
long grass, you know, and see over the grass. Yeah,
we evolve to just basically look up right, you know
what I mean. And yeah, so you'd wonder then, because

(16:24):
like it is kind of out odds with that. But
then we did forage a lot as well, So yeah,
you'd wonder. I wonder if faraging like that like a
monkey kind of behavior maybe something that's But they say
it's like birds that we share with birds more than simeons.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I suppose because birds are off which.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Is even weirder. Yeah, really, because you're like I have bird,
but it is kind of like call it an extra
sense is a bit weird. It is kind of touched,
Like doesn't.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
I think it's touch and sight affected, like working together. Yeah,
but I wonder like even though we say we have
like five senses, I wonder is and I think I
read somewhere before that we actually have dozens of senses.
But they're like you have to sub categorize them, and
they'd be a part of because they are the five
main like a skill tree and yeah, in a video

(17:11):
action r PG, you you're a sausage crew is six.
But within combat, there's the close quarters combat, there's the
stealth combat. Yeah, you know, long range.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Attacks, foraging skills.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Forging skills. Sausage dad, sausage granddad.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, it's funny because we're like humans are weird, Like
we're not the fastest, but we can outrun everything.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
In a sprint.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah no, like like any basically any predator we can
outlast in terms of running.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Oh like Marethon, sorry, the opposite.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Like pretty much the only animals that can do that.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Like yeah, where we can endure with better than other animals.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Which is like that's how we hunted. As when we
chat animals until they were too tired to run anymore.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Are we actually the best? We're class we're actually the
best animals.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
But that's the problem is like, for example, we could
outrun a grizzly bear bush, we would have to let
it run out of gas first. So if a grizzly
bears chasing, yeah, you've basically got the juke and dodging.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, for long on trees and for.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
The for the bear to be wrecked.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
But the other thing is if if it's explosive movements, yeah,
there's only so many walls you can jump over after
it has to be steady steace.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, if it's chessing around the one, you have to
keep the exaggon and all and hoping that you can
dodge it.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Look at how cool we got. The first lad who
did a marathon died and now lads be doing them
every other weekend ultra marathons. Like we're like, yes, grand Actually,
after that one fellow died, we're all able to just
do this now.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, humans, like we're fairly adaptive.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
We're very adaptable.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Very cool.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Even though I was reading about the I can't can't
remember what the name is, but the people who basically
dive and cumulatively they would hold their breath like five
hours a day. Yeah, but no that's not obviously one dive.
But they're able to hold their breath for you know, five, six, seven.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Eight minutes at a time. It's mad like condition in
your body. And how mad con ship like conditions yourself
to not be able to breed is like mad, It's
like yeah, it's it's you're trying to remove basic life
instinct right there.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
But you're you're pushing, like you're pushing your body basically
to the limit of what it's capable of in terms
of lung capacity and all that, which is, as you've said,
mad ship. Yeah, which is pretty cool. Like I watched
a really good documentary where it begins with a b
I just can't remember what the name of the people is,
but they have like just goggles and basically go the

(19:41):
whole way down to the bottom of the ocean because
they don't even.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Have air in there.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, so like they breathe out the air, go to
the bottom and they're just able to hold the breath
and it's just wild to see, like cool, it's it's
really cool, like mad, yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
But it is kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I saw I saw your man your about last week
doing the skis that's mad country, that is mad. Humans
are class and mad. I saw another fellow who went
down the highest vert ramp skateboard more just mad.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Could Everest is a very high vert ramp.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
You could say that Everest is a vert a high
vert ramp, that's nature's highest vert ramp.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I believe fucking Harry wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
It's funny because like it kind of cuts between the
footage and then his his own camera, but you see
him when he stops and just the breadth on him
and you're like, this sounds because it looks one way
when he's doing it and you're sort of panned back
and you're looking at it at the big view and
it's like, oh, yeah, that looks fine. But then when
you see his view and you see how steep it is,

(20:45):
you're like, oh, why would you do this to your awful?

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Awful and like what gets me about that is the
main thing that gets me in. And we touched on
a little bit last week about why I don't like
hiking and snow and stuff. It is like it's fucking snall,
Like it's unpredictable, by nature. Yeah, like he's walking a
big rock that but he's walking along not even if
it just collapse. Like he's he's walking along all these
like cliff edges made of snow, yeah, like compacted ice,

(21:10):
kind of compacted ice. Let's be honest. And yeah, he's
walking along like this is Yeah, this is a definitive
cliff edge, right that I can walk along. It's like
that that might just collapse. You're like, yeah, way so
hairy from him and wouldn't call that. But if anyone
wants to watches the Red Ball first person to ski
down Everest, it's quite a trip. Yeah, it's madly sucking

(21:34):
mad con ship. Was speaking of mad conship, someone writes
in a mystery listener about and sialis Hell and he's
not as a taler Pran talking about sallis On the
last part made me want to ride in. After some
turbulence early in the year, I found myself on as

(21:55):
the taler Pran and the daily loss of Salice top Tiger.
Let me tell you it's turned me into a sex god.
I reckon as a forty five year old things were
starting to slow down in the old Mickey department and
always readiness from the sialis combined with the slight dampening
of sensation from the has put me into beast mode.
The wife agrees, and she's not scared of bruising my eagle,

(22:17):
so I believe her. Anyway, I thought you might find
that amusing. We do maybe admit my name from this one.
You can just say I'm a very loyal and longtime
patron from Australia. He is indeed, and he's appreciated.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, yeah, I see. When I was on the skis,
I thought it was.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
A round though. That's people, people people doing that combination.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, I think I think getting an erection on the
echis is like pretty difficult.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
That's why.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Don't advocate, Yes, if you want your heart to express
out of your chest while doing mad coun ship. Yeah,
I know when I first went on the s Talbram,
I like I just couldn't come for that was grim ye,
like it's like and even to be fair, like.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Even Tom Tom Hank one time when I was going, it's.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Like like polishing chunk a magan he or something like.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
It got better though for anyone.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
That does get used to it just takes a while
for your body.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
But yeah. The first two three weeks now was dier
shreds for a long.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Because well I wasn't living with I was dating, so
like we hooke up and I think at a certain
point it was just like you don't jew blast and
I was like, can't blast, man, can't blast. But then
eventually so I started.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Blessed forgetting bott of me. Horney told sex dog, horny dog.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
God, No, you couldn't take every day, man, that's hard
coorship every Yeah, do you I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
I don't buy.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Stuff every day.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
I won't have the fucking as he said himself, he's
forty five. You know, all things are starting to slow
down to those slow down.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Five I have four years before, not i'd.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Say gradually from over the last couple of years down
a bit like not so much the sexual tyrannosaurus.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
As I was like, you know, like in terms of
the one.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
More like yeah, more like a sexual velociraptor. Yeah, like
a slot I'll be I'll forty five.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, No, I don't know for it. I like, I
don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I just
don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
I just don't know.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, No, I'm not like everything works probably as well
as it every day it's fine. Yeah, yeah, for me,
everything works pretty good. But I'm not like when I was.
I can't. I I can't think. I can't. I can't
even come comprehend what it would be like to be
to just your mickey leading around the place when you're
like fifteen or sixteen, just demanding to be touched. Do

(25:13):
you know what I mean? Like, I can't. I don't
have a frame of reference really other than I live
through that, Like I couldn't. I couldn't function.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Like that.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
And I wonder as well that I wonder about that
sex addiction, because you'd imagine sex addiction would just go
away as you outgrow.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
But it's an habitual like kind for some people. It's
just like it's a kink. Isn't that like like just
being horny? Told is a king?

Speaker 1 (25:40):
That a penis? I don't even know if it's writing.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Trill you've got to stop. Yeah, I don't know, man, Yeah,
I suppose there's some people that there are just many.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Actually I've seen I've seen a couple of people that.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Just like it's harmful want to be in the Probably
like is that if you're sensible and a consensual relationship
like yeah, yeah, you know, if you're if you're on
the streets, it becomes a bit more sketchy.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Right, But remember we watched that documentary with the last
I don't stop winking and imagine, like how do you
have thirty today? How do you do that?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Like you're just it's a psychological thing. It's a problem,
like it's a it's a it's a a story word.
It's like a quark or algy. Yeah, it's like a tick.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
But it must be like like your poor thing beings thirteen,
your balls would be just like fire what I mean,
even just the friction, like you're all your you're thinking.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Levels of casualties. You're just submitting your poor they're coming
out getting shot down by the German gunners in the boxes,
getting slaughtered operation. They're dead on arrival, Like do you
know what I mean? Then order means, I.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Wonder does your body sort of compensate in some way?
And it goes true because it would start to go
right where we're hemorrhaging.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
We've just found out we had another sound.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
So it's very possible that we could look at arms.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Our own brain looks at us firing away our troops
and Gaus, I'm gonna start something shit out to him
because he's not going to add himself all the time,
the dirty bastard.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
I think your body is just sort of like just
release some chemicals to stop you stop doing this, stop
being at yourself the whole time.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Some people apparently don't. Tom Hank ever.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, but I'd say it's very low notes because even
I heard about like asexual people and stuff, and even
just the stress relief that have a strong of blasting.
It's just a stress relief. It's not necessarily strong themselves. Yeah,
like a guitar DJ bring it on, Yeah, play themselves

(27:43):
like they're at a fucking rave.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
So next up we have it's lengthy, so we'll probably
split this. Emin'll let you talk about the starter, mister
nicrome Acnimal. I think I got his name right, finally,
their necromic animal. Necromic animal. Its fucking hard name to read. Man.
That actually was about a minute earlier, where I was
reading that email at me brain was breaking trying to

(28:07):
make sense of his name. I was like, is a necro.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Mechanic's mechanical mechanimal?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
There's too much going on there. This is the chote
Creek Cryptid short story. Now he writes in to tell
us that there's just a story, I imagine. He first
he calls his co He says, O, CONTs, here's the
story I imagined as a preteen after my mother told
me she saw a huge wolf in the woods. I

(28:36):
gallivanted around in all the events aren't exactly true, but
things I thought of while those real things were happening.
So that's interesting, okay. And he said it talks about
the twelve minute eads. Well for us who were big
brains about the times, what we're going to say this
fucking text us ten minutes, you know what I mean?
So am and taking about its chaotic creek cryptid. The

(28:57):
CCC hasn't been proofdd. So I got on in alls
that we're about to stumble in right.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Okay, as we're if we're about to read out porn
about us in advance. The summer of nineteen ninety seven,
I turned thirteen and convinced my mother I was manly
enough to stay home alone with her while my stepdad
was at working out its it's reading like it might be.
After a few days, I was tired of all the
video games, and I had watched all the movies, so

(29:22):
I went to play in the creek that was a
few hundred feet past the barbed wire fence in our
neighbor's pasture. We lived five miles outside of a small
town in Kansas. My grandparents lived less than a mile
away towards town, which is a big contributor as to
why my mother allowed me to stay home alone and
why I felt comfortable disobeying her order not to leave

(29:43):
our property except riding my bike to their house. I
snatched up my book, knife and Transformers lunchbox full of
Gi Joe's class. Perhaps thirteen is too old to be
playing with action figures, but I was an only child
with an elaborate imagination who was accustomed to playing alone.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's fair, watch out for them only children.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
That there you go, and he headed down to the
creek after carefully maneuvering through the fence. The creek had low,
slow moving water in it, but the banks were very
high in places, which made it only accessible in certain
areas without jumping down six to eight feet, and also
made for decent little mudslides in areas where the water

(30:25):
was deeper. The best place to play that morning was
at the bend where a rockbed area ended because it
offered shade. I did a precautionary check of the area,
which led me to smashing a snake with a rock
so it didn't come up and bite my booty while
I was preoccupied. So he's killed a snake already. I

(30:46):
left its corpse baking on the rocks, thinking it would
deter others from messing with me. That's true.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yeah, apparently if you an advocate and animal started as
a gentleman. But I have heard an urban legend folk
lark tell of if you get a rat when you
drown it mix all screams, and apparently that frights ratslast
I heard.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
That if you, if you, if you crucify your rat
and a small crucifix outside your house, the other rats
won't mess around, which anymore, if you crucify three rats
before the crow cocks three times, Peter.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Or Thomas or John or one of them. Anyway, we'll
have to steady, ever, do you?

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, I heard that if you, it sends a message
like if you do fucking Goodfellows style drowned or rat
and let them up, and all the screams that the
rats are like, I'm out of here. This is mental.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
It's understandable.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Now, I don't know about that. I personally wouldn't want
to come too close to a drowning rat for fair
of being bit no matter what rat. Yeah, but I
don't advocate animal abuse, although rats mm like I lot.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
People could pet rats, but that's different though they've been raised,
that's all nurture wild rats.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Now.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Look, I would never abuse an animal either. But like,
rats aren't paying tenants.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
That's true. Hardly got a mortgage these days, you know
what I mean? These rats.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Lad's absolutely bumming the mortgage. And there's a lot of
rats things that're just going to sleep under your house.
To get out here, I positioned myself in the soft
dirt of the high creek bed and pulled out my
knife to dig into the wall of dirt, carving out
an underground fight club Barbie dream house class. That's pretty cool.
That's not quite mad coun Ship, but it's getting there.

(32:45):
A few rounds into blood Sport Mortal Kombat tournament style fighting,
I was puppeteering Jinks versus Sergeant Slaughter when a blackened
hand reached down and clasped around my wrist, pulling me upward.
Everything seemed to go into slow motion as my senses
electrified through my body. I dug my toes into the

(33:06):
dirt to try and slow my ascension, which gave me
time to grab my knife that i'd left protruding from
the dirt. Looking up, all I could see was a
mangy silhouette with a brightly sunlit background. As I drew upwards,
I plunged the knife into its thigh, and a loud
yelp rang out as I was released, then began to

(33:27):
fall back down. I wouldn't let go of the knife
because my grandfather had given it to me and it
was my only defense, so it dragged inside the thigh
meat with all my weight, pulling downwards until slipping out
with a trail of blood glistening in the sunlight. Gravity
pulled me down the bank, right beside the dead snake,

(33:48):
which I instinctively grabbed and flung at my attacker as
a distraction from my escape as I turned to run
for the nearest accessible outlet I could use to climb
out of the t inch.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Everyone for having a knife when you're working now, I.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Think a little pen knife for oil. It wasn't even
Swiss army. It was just like ship ship house on,
just like a pound shop to shop pen knife.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah, I had a nice famy grandma about me. He
bought us a couple of all of us knives where
too responsible? I think I was probably like eleven time, boy,
knife is good knife.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Good knife age. It was like a flick out.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
One was no, it's like a combat knife.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
What would this eleven get good use of? Maybe a
super Nintendo? No combat knife and all having knives is fun.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
You know, kill anyone or anything?

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Worked out?

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Well, yeah, yeah, I had a cool knife. That's it.
That's nice. She eat on it and it looks stylish.
Did they use it? But I probably used the camp
and actually you know, hmm, it's gone now.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
The shame that's will you ever we ever got a
new knife? Do you think I have a Yeah, I
a load. I have a load.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
No, just my ax I have and my axe.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Crypt right through my foot splashes in the water. I
heard the thing grumbling in pain, which crescendoed into a
swap thudding sound, which I imagined was it falling onto
the bed of wet rocks. But I never looked back.

(35:40):
Sprinting through the open field towards my house. I tried
to listen for footsteps behind me over my loud, sniveling
breaths and footfalls. I heard nothing, but was fully convinced
that was because its feet were hitting the ground at
the same time as mine, and that made me push
harder to get away. Nearly to the fence, I realized
I still had the bloody knife in my hand. Not

(36:02):
wanting to lose my only weapon throwing it over or
stab myself with it crossing through I envisioned a thousand scenarios,
but eventually just decided to keep as many of my
fingers around it as I could while using the others
to maneuver the obstacle. I dove down sideways at the
base of the fence and pushed the bottom bar wire

(36:23):
up as I slid under, noticing some blood from the
blade of the knife transfer to the blades of grass.
Standing back up, I stole a glance back to see
if I was being pursued, but saw nothing, so I
closed the knife blade and pocketed it. Sprinting to the
house with heaving breaths, I opened the sliding glass back
door and locked it behind me, then ran to my

(36:44):
room to retrieve my bow and arrow. As all the
guns were locked away in the cabinet, Arsenal tell you
I considered just breaking the glass to retrieve the firearms,
but dealing with my stepdad's bullshit was almost as dumb
thing is fighting off whatever the fuck this thing was.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Stepdads do ever not come with bullshit.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
So your stepdad and a step mam or on my nose,
that's a real man and a step dad. Gotcha, gotcha? Gotcha? Okay, right,
classic kind of why would you put like if you're
trying to keep the guns away, why would you put
them in a glass case.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Sure, you have it in a more safe place, American man, But.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Like if someone if someone goes to rob the house
and they're like class.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Guns, someone robin that probably hasn't gone.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
So they see guns as like collectibles, like the way
we have like Street Fighter two figures and stuff in
the class case.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
It actually is yeah for some people like yeah, but
like look, don't get if I was in America, I
guarantee you I would have probably three or four guns.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Definitely have guns.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
I like guns. I like all the different models, and
I'd be buying off fucking this one was on my
salad snake and metal salad. I'd have me ups and all.
I think that's what it's called. I'd have one of them.
M nine, I have a breada yeah, I need a
sure that's sure like yeah, and it was metal hair salads,

(38:05):
head rocket larger.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
It's a general Valanine.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Exactly. Yeah, I'd like a moles and nagant from sucking daisy,
shooting lads and ship I'd like all that. Man, I'd
be into sks giving one of them.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, get the red.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Probably have a lot of guns. I'd probably have, Like
guns have been my special interest if I was in America.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, going to the gun shows.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
And because your bread someone our listeners as the posting
over a gun.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Let's get on with the story before people start settling.
His firearms on the registered post. Bow in hand with
bolt at the ready, I propped the quiver up on
the arm rest of the sofa beside the sliding glass
door and stayed out of outside view except for one

(38:57):
eye leaning out just enough to see staring at the creek.
Forget please. I was in the creek, and then the
thing nearly got me focusing on the edge of the creek.

(39:20):
My mind was playing tricks on me. Imagining the hand
that had just been around my waist only moments earlier,
rising up and pulling up the monster attached to it.
Fuck this shit, I exclaimed, then slid the bow and
arrows under the couch and ran out the front door
onto my bicycle, pedaling with every bit of energy I
had left down the road to my grandparents' house. I

(39:44):
couldn't tell them. I couldn't tell my mom when she
eventually got off work and picked me up, because I
wasn't supposed to be out there alone. So I kept
the secret and kept looking out the window at an
now overclassed, gloomy landscape, hoping nobody was looking back wonder
ring if I was now technically a murderer.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Don't worry about the chronic animal. I had to do
the same one time when I keep it secret from
your grandparents, and my cousin, who is three years older
than me, downloaded a lot of porn onto the computer
and then blamed me class Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
I think I know which which is ironic, because that
doesn't would say he'd be one of those. It was
a period of discovery. I suppose he probably downloaded the
last one.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
This is the dialogue are on the frontiers of the proved.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
It really just shows a lack of regard, doesn't it
to blame someone else crippling? That was what did your
granddad say? It was?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
It was sound about it, Roberts. He said it to
me that, and my dad was like, outong mind them.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Just that was grand So he said it to your
dad to be like, here, don't be and he was
like a just like just so you're had said, never
mind those He yeah, we got out of He must
look as much, look at as much porn as you can.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
I don't think it's translated that in that sense. I
think he said that to me granddadly, Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
I thought. I thought your dad said, and then your
dad never mind knows he just watch as much as
that would be. No, no, no, no, no, he's right though.
Boys will be boys exactly.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
It was that edge front Marlo the stories if you
have a younger cousin, blame everything on them, or what
age would you have been, like eleven or twelve?

Speaker 1 (41:33):
So when he went on his wanking.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Too, it was like fourteen fifteen.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
He was just but he would tell you he was saying,
he's saying it never looks at nothing like that.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Maybe maybe he got turned off at that age, you know,
he just maybe he just deplorable.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Maybe it's like that thing where your dad makes you
smoke a package.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Smoking again. Yeah, he just absolutely tore. I couldn't sleep
that night, and the storm definitely wasn't helping since I
was awake for the foreseeable future. Sometime around two am,
I went into the living room to retrieve my bone
arrow and now that my parental units were asleep, as
I crept into the living room, this is like, this

(42:16):
is likes is like equipping all.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
I lit the fire with my life and got the
map of the house.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
As I crept into the living room, peering through the
darkness of the glass door, lightning flashed like a camera
taking a picture of my earlier trauma bathed in a dark,
wet blue light. There you go. Within words, word bye.
I grabbed my weapons and scurried back to my room.
My bed was positioned under a window facing the creek.

(42:47):
I likely would have moved it that night if it
weren't a gigantic water bed. I did so much love
making waterbeds, eighties kind of things, A watered I.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Don't think you can get water bed.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
All you could do. Yeah, but they're just no care.
I think there were literally I think they were one
of those things that people saying on TV and the
sounded good, and then as soon as someone laying the
like these are ship and.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Full of water.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Yeah. So I crawled up to the headboard and leaned
on it, gazed out the window as lightning illuminated my sideline.
I swear I saw a dark blob just on the
other side of the fence. I stared at the spot
in the pitch black, waiting for another lightning bolt, as
rain poured down and thunder rumbled. Electricity streaked across the sky,

(43:39):
and I saw numerous black masses now converging left and right,
directly in front of me where I had crossed the fence,
a huddled mass that appeared to be growing coyotes, one
crawling over the other over another. I was shaking, and
the waterbed was waving beneath me, jostling me around as

(43:59):
thunder requake, seemingly rumbling at my insides. It's like fucking
Poseidon in the bed. Lightning struck down so close now
that it appeared to be daytime. The clamatus clump of
coyotes rose up to form a person who's beastly looking
head lifted, looking directly into my eyes. As everything went
dark again, I retreated into my covers and flapped down

(44:23):
into the bed. I must be dreaming, he told himself,
Clutching the blankets. I dropped down to the side of
the bed, grabbed my walkman, and blared music, hiding in
my quilled cavern until I somehow fell asleep. Thankfully, I
never saw the thing again. However, I do believe I
encountered its coyote counterpart around a month later, when my
stepdad was having a birthday party. Pay Roast Bastard Birday party.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Pay grosst just sounds like it's sort of it's a
weird thing.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
No, it's a cookouts. Probably it's an American it's an
American thing. It's a cookout. Like you know, we don't
do works too wet everywhere, Yeah, don'tside. Yeah. We kind
of caught ourselves every month, like one month of the
year that we're into barbecues and all that ship and
then it's like, oh, I'm not going to use that
again for another twelve months. That was cool.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
I don't I'm gonna try to never buy a barbecue
in my house.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Yeah, like your man after me on and you know
barbecues nah, Now.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Don't get me wrong. A barbecued steak lovely, lovely stuff.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
But a listener of this podcast my love your friend
Jane has a heart fella has a very fancy a
Weber smoker. Yeah it's a smoker and needed us some
fucking lamb by telling you wanting, I was like some
fucking Henry dass motherfucker gout. Yeah, very good. I enjoyed

(45:48):
that now. But do I care enough for a barbecue?

Speaker 1 (45:51):
No? No, I do not. Why you like I do?
I love barbecued meats very nice, Like it's just it's
the texture, you know, makes it delicious. But now that
I'm not really eating meat anymore, shrimp on the barbey
barbecue so loomy.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
So you don't now I do, but I don't don't.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Really have kind of gone off because of the porkinos still. Yeah,
it's a porkino state to me, little baby pigs, And
I thought to myself, I can't be I can't be
eating you, even though they taste delicious. Yeah, bacon is
like bacon and steaks, man, Oh my god, I.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Have not bacon swine intentionally have that swine and like, for.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
What's your reason, Muslim? Your Muslim would be very, very
excited to hear them that our next episode is the gin. Yeah,
class chef one in the UFC.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Look like the ball. I didn't never, I've never once.
I've never seen a man look like they're about the
crime or jack thelhim a dinner made leaner. I can't
keep up with all these guns.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
I don't be watching the US much anymore.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yeah, but anyway, I look back to the pros. I
pick ex rame. I convinced a couple of girls to
steal wine coolers from their mom, and we took them
out to the other side of the barn, out of view,
which is a different direction from the creek, but still
the same field. We leaned against the fence, stargazing and

(47:35):
chit chatting. As we drank out of nowhere. A snarling
beast bit through the fence, clamping down on my shirt of.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Where I lost.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Yeah, sorry, now what happens is it scrawled up there
by accident, so I've totally lost what I'm taking onder,
I'm lost.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
A snarling beast bit through the fence, clamping down on
my shirt, growling and attempting to pull me through. The
girls dropped their drinks and abandoned me fucking hose. Luckily,
my shirt ripped, which allowed me to break free, showing
my massive muscles. I started to run away, but I
felt compelled to stand my ground. Looking through the fence,
the coyote was looking up at me angrily, with a

(48:18):
part of my shirt still in its mouth. It felt
as if this thing was incapable of crossing the property line.
Staring at each other, finally getting a good look at
its unnatural, human looking eyes bathed in the moonlight.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
I went down and picked up a bottle, chugging what
was left. I then flung the bottle directly at the
creature's head. I swear my aim was true, but the
bottle appeared to pass right through the creature or into
it like a void. I grabbed the other two bottles
and finished them, chuggingle just horses into the bottles of
ear and fired grass. Chucked another one that seemingly passed

(48:53):
you once again, and I said fuck you. As I
wound up to throw the last bottle as hard as
I could. It clang to cross the creature's forehead and
rolled off its snout unflinching. The coyotes still stared, so
I backed away slowly and went back to the party,
never to see the thing again or ever know what
it truly was. Thankfully we didn't live there much longer

(49:16):
because my mom found out that the guy was doing
hard drugs and cheat together class. But I still get
the chills every time I hear a coyotes call good story.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
I enjoyed very good. Well, step right in there, keep.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Back good good stuff kind of goes into power fantasy
and then goes into survival horror, and it runs the
line quite well.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Yeah, sos and coots real or fact?

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Sorry, absolutely real? Yeah, I think I like the way
they all sort of mound together. Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
That's I like. That was a very good visual quite
saying that that pended a vivid picture there for vivid picture.
It took me into it. There was some idiots when
I read don't actually visualize anything. So that's quite interesting.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
I wouldn't be interesting.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Isn't that mad?

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Yeah, they just think so, they don't. There's no imagination.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
It's mad.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
It wouldn't make good artists.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
No, I think that's it, really isn't it? You know,
just like I hear the words J'm crying. He literally
looked when at the last round that he was actually balling.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
It was like, I'm getting this ship kicked out of me. Here,
I don't Yeah, it just was like, was it what
it was? Maca chef? Wasn't it?

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Who won?

Speaker 1 (50:38):
From I getting one of them? I thinking, who's the other? Friend?
McGregor calls rat lip.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
That's cams that.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
It wasn't him?

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Was ma isn't that Islam?

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, catholic O'Neill. I'm just going to be catholic. Yeah,
come here.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Yeah, so that happened. I watched episode one of Plorabus Floribus.
If you're not saying this, okay, you might like this
interesting concept Episode one. I'm I'm intrigued, but I do
also think that it could go the way. There's a
couple of episodes out now. It's on Apple, which makes

(51:21):
me want to not like this because I don't like Apple.
So a concept, like a little concept. Yeah, So a
lady set the scene working in a lab. They're doing
tests on some animals, and they're like to go down
to all these rats and the're testing the rats. Now
one of the rats that they're testing is it's kind

(51:42):
of dead, and your one's like, oh, Jess, I meant
to take this out and have a look at it. Okay,
they take it out and it wasn't dead. Joke's on
you bites through. Your one's saying. Your one's like, oh,
funk up in based. Your man's like, oh, just wash
your hands their own. Get the death all out. And
she starts to convolt having a fucking fit, and she

(52:04):
kind of like just appears almost that she dies, but
then she wakes back up kind of immediately, and she
she doesn't talk or anything. She starts shifting one of
the lads. She just starts shifting them and then walks off.
Now he starts stirring up and then he and then
he kind of does the same. So they're all going

(52:25):
around shifting each other.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
And everyone's getting all fucked up. So it's like kind
of invasion of the body snatching.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
A little bit of that. Now, Yeah, they're not like
zombies that they can talk, they they walk, they do
all that they can do, all like human these stuff.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Are they aware of what they're doing like that they're Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
So so then it cuts to like a woman and
her friend and they're going to like a bar to
have some drinks. There, of course is the scene where
everything goes to pot and everyone starts doing this fucking
you know, stanky leg and it looks like that actually
spread it via plane. There was all these planes overhead.

(53:05):
They're in this parking lot. You're wanting her friend in
the local up and they're like, what the fuck is that?
Like there's a lot of planes flying overhead, and then
the friends are just going and so everyone except for
this one is doing this, and so she's like, what
the fuck is going on? So MUNI, Yeah, So she
kind of gets to her house and when she gets
to her house, like she's scanning the channels to see this.

(53:27):
This is basically episode one's spoilers the whole through. So
I'm just I'm saying, I'm I'm tantalizing you. So she
gets home, she turns on the Telly Scans channels on.
Then there's the presidential address channel is on and there's
a lad there and he's like, hello, Stacey, that's her name.
He's like, oh yeah, yeah, He's like, how are you doing?

(53:48):
You know, we know you're there. He's basically saying that,
like the concept is that some alien signal they had
intercepted this sign know and wants they process the signal.
I think it is if this is if we understand it,
it basically turned all of them into this the signal did.

Speaker 5 (54:08):
Also, the rat was just a red herring. It didn't
have nothing to do with the No, the rat did
somehow have something to do with it. I don't know
whether the signal made them put something into the rat
or what. I don't know how that part worked. But
that's the crack with it. Like that, basically.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
People intercepted some signal. SETI or one of them places
intercepted this alien signals, and now everyone is working for
that signal.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Okay, but we don't know what they want.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
But like they're like, oh, it's grand Like like they're like,
we want you to be like us. That's what we're
trying to figure out. Like that's what they're saying. Yeah,
they're saying that now they're all like a collective consciousness.
Every person on the planet is now a collective consciousness
the thing, but like she isn't. So they're like, we
need to.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Get you like us.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
But they say it to hard or like yeah, there's
like nine of you is on the planet.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Okay, so she used to meet up with the other
ones and there on the planet. All yeah, it's hard,
hard to meet up concept.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
I'm going forward to the rest of the episode. That interesting, Yeah,
that's right up rally, like absolutely.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
I watched something called The Rulers of Fortune sounds. I
think it was Dogos as Jos. It was Brazilian Brazilian
gangster dramas. Yeah, it was a bit of crack.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Are you able to pick up on the sleek?

Speaker 1 (55:30):
And that one I can hear, I can understand bits
and yeah, bits and pieces, because there was it was
translated and then I said that. I was like, she
didn't say that what the translation said, and the mer
bronze starts very good, become a no on what you're

(55:58):
talking about.

Speaker 6 (55:58):
But they would watch to find somebody went on to Yeah,
yeah ring, So that was good and so check check
out that show.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Yeah, what's called again?

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Flora bus Flora bus p l U R I b
U S.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
I think I should have called this.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
I thought it was Probius at first. Yeah, so I
don't I don't know. Yeah, the rat part, like I
don't know whether the rat was given the signal, whether
the maybe like maybe or maybe they inject.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Get maybe they needed the virality something in the rat. Yeah, right,
because otherwise you're just shifting a signal. That's probably we've
all been there, We've all shift shifted the signal. I
got the signal to shift, or did I?

Speaker 2 (56:45):
What's what if you could shift the song? What song?
Would you shift a song?

Speaker 1 (56:51):
If you want my body? You think of sex?

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Many personals shifted Rod short to shift many a person.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Rod Shuret has had so many shifts.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Yeah, I'd say he's more fan than hot dinners such
a Rod Honner.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Actually I did. I did some match there the other day.
Having smoked cigarette in a week, I will be going
back because I'm I'm, I'm I'm against the clock now
with me for the next while. Yeah, common time price
you can feel not unlike the people turning because of
the signal. I'm seeing the signals of my iris going bad.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
I am try putting a nicotine patch up your whole
or something. Maybe TRYU tampon and pouches that people don't
put them up nicotine.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
It has to be smoking flags has.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
To be.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Pouch up yours of course, or the first thing I
did when I thought that this could be.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
A little bit of snooze, I get some.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Of those zins and just start Yeah, smugglings called passage.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
There's round lads.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
And the ones you're putting them. Yeah, follow everyone's at it.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Yeah, yeah, you really get cancer. The guns probably like, I.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Don't really like them. I remember someone gave me one
when I was in Belgium years ago, and I was
just like, I just don't get it.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
I swear you'd never give me snows and I have
small fags with a snow say and all. I was
kind of like, that's the fucking point, and I want.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
The whole thing about small flags is it's the way
it hits the back of your nicely, and then that
your body just goes.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
The actor smoke gum is like, yeah, if you're a smaller,
the act of smoking is like a tiretic.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
It's it's nice. It is nice. It probably is really
about you're basically just breeding in carbon monoxide.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Rotten, terrible, but it's nice.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
I did read the thing as statistic, and I'm sure
this isn't direct science, but yeah, yeah, they said for
every cigarette you smoke, it takes like twenty minutes off
your life. Let's say, but I did the mats then,
and I made an assumption since I was forteen, that
I've smoked one hundred thousand cigarettes. Let's say, lovely, when
you do the mats on that that's only like less
than half a year.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
A really, who gives a full Yeah? I think the
way that I deal with most things in life is like,
you know, if you're on your deathbed and.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
I wish i'd smoked more fags.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Yeah, but like if you're the type of person to
say like, oh, I shouldn't have smoked them fags, it's like, okay,
don't smoke fucking fags then, But like, if you're the
type of person doesn't give a shit about any of that,
then keep keep on. Like if you don't give a ship,
you don't give a ship difference, Yeah, like what you
do or you don't like, because as we well know,
there's plenty of fucking really healthy people out there who

(59:30):
get bummed by answer regardless. Like so it's kind of
one of those things. Or it's like, well, what do
you want to prioritize in life? I get it if
like you know, you're stopping smoking because your rank kids
are coming, or you're stopping drinking for that for like,
you know, whatever reason, Like I get it, and it
makes sense because you're just wanting to minimize your chances.
I suppose of having any regrets.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
And I think it's like I get I guess I
suppose to health angles, the health angle it and just
the ability of like not feeling like garbage. Yeah, like
if I was, say, and I'd smoke a cigarette a day,
so it doesn't to be honest, I'm coughing up more shit,
Like I feel worse not smoking, but that's probably because
my lungs are cleaning themselves out. But it's very marginal.
You don't notice any difference. I think with alcohol the

(01:00:12):
big thing, or even drugs, it's not so much what
you're doing to yourself inso much as your ability to
enjoy things with like people you love or just just
your you know, there's a do you ever Like You're like, oh,
I'm gonna do X y Z, Like I'm gonna do
all these things on the weekend, and then whatever happens,
you go out and tie one on on a Friday

(01:00:33):
and you're like, I'm not doing any of that, Like
I'm not doing any of that bull should I say
I was gonna do, but then I haven't been drinking
for a week, and I like this weekend, I was like, right,
I'm gonna go do all this stuff blah blah. Still
didn't do it, though, So now I can't blame the alcohol.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
As a relatively sober person, I can attest to that.
But yeah, you'll put like conditions in your way and
say like, oh, this is what's stopped me, or that's
what stopping me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
But it was you all along.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Yeah, you just have to push yourself a bit, you
know what I mean, and depending on what it is.
But also sometimes you're making yourself to stuff you don't
really want to do it anyway, So that's there's part
of that too. Like like again, every time I watch
these like couples that live like off grade, crusty style,
a lot of the time, I'm like, oh, yeah, I
get it, Like that seems nicer for me. I can

(01:01:21):
understand this, But I you can spend like I think
with them as well. What they were saying this particular
couple I was watching, they were just like, yeah, like
you know, like we can spend most of our time
just faffing around here, and it's kind of more meaningful
like I suppose, and more enjoying, Like there's more enjoyment
than I suppose. But yeah, it depends on the type

(01:01:41):
of person yard Like I don't think you want. I
don't think i'd be super suited to it all in,
but I think i'd be sit with to it in
some ways. I think there's there's a lot of like
nowadays you can basically have all the mod cons and
live off grade anyway, so it's just more like you're
like a fucking neo hippie.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Yeah, it was super crusty, super terrible crusty. I was
reading about it. People who go into business for themselves
get out of the ninety five and a lot of
them it was, and they were saying, yeah, there's and
a lot of people actually go, actually fuck this, Like
I'd rather go back to the I know some people
have done that. I can imagine, because you don't really
know what way you're gonna get paid. You don't know

(01:02:17):
when the money's coming. At least with a nine to
five is like here is the thing you do this,
I give you this that will be it every month,
and that's that I.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Know, like really talented people who like it was like
who basically had all of the business acumen, including like
all of the the ADMINI side of it and all
that side of it, and like the grind of like
doing what needs to be done. But ultimately you know
they were doing it and barely making ends, mate, and
sometimes maybe not making enough, and they just said to

(01:02:48):
themselves like fuck this, like at about forty that were
just like, I just I just need to get a
regular paycheck. But I suppose it depends on the person.
You see some people as well of working and what
they do. So that's the other side of it, is
like if you love being self employed and you love
working in like the capacity whatever it is you're doing.

(01:03:11):
Let's say you're a landscaper, for example, and you're not
making loads of money, but you love working with the
land like and you love that thing, then you don't
mind if you're working six.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
There's a lot to be said for less journey, more time,
or more satisfaction of what you do, you know, But
like if.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
You're a landscaper, let's just because it's got example, if
you're working fucking six stays with landscape and you're going
to be fucking fit as a dog, like you know
what I mean, Like, so you know you're getting fit a.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Butcher's dog.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
And loads of class.

Speaker 7 (01:03:44):
That's awful, but not like you'd be you'd be relatively
healthy probably, and you'd be relatively satisfied because you're working
in a job that means something to you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
I'm not sure you know you're doing something like that.
So it really does depend, you know what I mean.
Like some people don't think that deep about a job,
and it's like, yeah, I get my money, I go home,
that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Yeah, it's been what you do. Like it's I've started
a new thing recently and it actually seems to be
helping a lot. I was getting really fucked off with work,
which is usually a seasonal thing it is, which makes
sense because my work is seasonal. But yeah, I'd like
the other day, I just got up and I was like,
I know that I'm going to have problems and work

(01:04:25):
today because every day of problems. So rather than winging
about the problems, I'm just going to accept that there
are problems going to rise today and I always solve
the problems. So I think that again. And then when
I came into work and all the problems that I
was like, Yeah, sure, I knew this was going to happen.
I got it from a five Stoic principles to take
morning Marcus Aurelius, some lad in the morning. I just go, man,

(01:04:47):
bad times are coming today. Just be prepared for him.
You'd be grand up winging, control yourself and expect the worst,
and then life seems to be easier.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Yeah, that's that's best.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
Clear, cracking up, winging, control yourself, expect the worst. I
believe the brownies follow that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Cookies they say.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
To prepare, to prepare to fail.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
That's a song as well. The brownies are the scopes
are the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Yeah, I think they're the same one as.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Brownies, browners, browns. Yeah. Look in terms of fulfilment at
the times of drinking and all that have the cracks
or do whatever they live your life. Some people like,
you know, it's like barbecuees, drinking is your personality barbecause
his personality, Like they're like a thing that you wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Have it, but I prefer not to have it as
a personality.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Yeah, some people give some advice.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
I'd say, maybe you have a more interesting personality than alcohol. Yeah,
some people do.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
They do Yeah, some people.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
I love tying on on the man. I love like that.
That's like you were saying earlier today, just your fancy again.
I get that. Man.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Oh yeah, we're doing that. That's that's right. Actually, we're
going to do someone someone said to us, like we
were talking last week on the podcast Forecads against Each podcast,
and someone was like, yeah, you absolutely have to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
So we'll do it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
We're gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
There'll be a lot of Wii breaks for yourself. Now.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Yeah, I haven't has a pissy.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
It's because my body operates so efficiently. It gets rid
of the toxin as soon as possible. The sparrows bladder,
yeah yeah, sparrows have been known to hold their pit
longer than me. Actually migrations all of the time.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
So yeah, we'll do that. We'll have you again. This
isn't sure. We'll just play it and I'll do.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Whatever we want to make a bit of a few
just thinking of smoking fags and drinking again.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
My mouth is actually water and not a thoughts of
smoking fags and I can't. I haven't smoked in what
six years?

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Seven years? Give you me, bro I am I I
am an addicted motherfucker. I can't touch.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
Anything I use like when you go because for me,
like I can quit smoking because I don't smoke much anyway,
so it doesn't really bother me. But when I start drinking,
I get to that like third form point, then my body,
I feel the hunger in me for a cigarette like
that went when you drink nah went.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
But temptation gets a bit closer to you when you're
when you're.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
Suppose temptation for everything when you're a bit drunk, even
a kebab. Yeah, I mean like you're a.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Bit Last year, last year, when my friend Nolan's baby
was born, little baby Jack, we we went down to
the pub her to wear the baby's head as his tradition,
and his brother who I'm friends as well, brought down
two big fuck off cigars, and like about halfway to night,
I was looking longingly at the until the as cigars

(01:07:44):
and I was like, oh, I would love with this
one of them right now, But I didn't because I can't.
I just can't, like I actually.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
Can't, because you just won't be able to.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
I am. I employ the same logic that like an
NA people dows was like I'm an addict and I
can't have things that addictive because I'll make myself.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
You're you're pretty good with alcoh.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
I'm really good with it. I'm really good. But like
other highly addictive things. But just cigarettes are yeah, cigarettes
would one drink, I'm really good with any Like tablets.
I think that people get addicted, typed and no botter,
but like I don't even have a wanted meat to
take them, you know, or any drugs or anything. Like
I've tried pretty much most hard drugs except for the Hitch,

(01:08:25):
and I never got I never really had a desire.
I don't even like opiates. I've had a couple of
tablets over the years.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Yeah, Like, yeah, drugs were like for me, it was
just it was too much like my addictive self is
like I like things that I can operate. Yeah, but
I like to not not so much not feel just
to feel nice.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
Yeah you know no, yeah, I just yeah, for whatever reason,
I am. Cigarettes are a real one for me. Like
I really did enjoy smoking, like to a degree. There
was times as a smoker where I was like this
is getting just waking up in the morning smoke yeah morning,
but later in the day, like when you're fucking you know,

(01:09:10):
you know, you've had like ten or twelve, and like
fran Is just.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
Like like yeah, like yeah, that one cigarette at the
end of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
Is like I can't do that because that one in
the evening then you wake up next morning. But that
was quite nice in the evening. Let's have one in
the morning and then that's like, let's have ten.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
It's understandable. Yeah, I do get it. I do get
a book. Yeah for me. For me, everything for me
is nighttime. I like like even today, Polo was off
for the day and like she was just she just
loves she loves just hanging out in the house all day,
chilling out or whatever. But for me, it's like I
start getting cabin fever.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
Yeah, like I would be able to just sit in
the house and you have to go out. Yeah, I
can't do No. That gets me that nice at night
is like that's when I'm supposed to So because of that,
I'm like, we have a few drinks, now you have
a cigarette, you go the better the reason below you're
sitting down anyway, and so yeah, that's when you sort
of start to miss around. Yeah, then the pornography and

(01:10:13):
the cigarettes and the alcohol at the end of the day.
Just what a time to be alive. There's something on
whiskey smoking just bless them.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
No, yeah, I think I'm seven years off from now
or more off the off tail fags something like that,
But it was a pack of it. It's funny, like
because even back in the day when I used to
stream on Twitch and all, like, I don't think you
could smoke on Twitter anything anymore, but like I used
to be fagg hanging and playing or something smoking. Yeah,
I don't. I don't think you can even do that anymore.
But I used to love tastale treats by now rolling tobacco.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
There's love. Yeah, rolling y it's so much better than
actual cigarettes. Yeah, it is, like I don't know that
people who smoke straight and like it is nice.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
If you're pasting, you're not I.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
But it's not like rolling your own bag. But it
hits you in the back of the throat and you
feel your inside's going as your body adapts to it.
And if you if you haven't had to ship your
now's the chime. Now's the time, friend? Now is the gime?

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
Friend?

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Oh have I got a surprise for you? No?

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
Good time? Sorry? There if we've triggered any former smokers there,
I know all the feelings. I'm half triggered now, so
I'm gonna have to roll in all the flags and
smoke them. But I will leave it there for this week.
This has been a little cheeky mini fuzz. Next week
we are off to the land of the Muslims to
talk about the Gin and handle m H and should I.
We will see there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Oh no we won't.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
I've been I've been naming master Full is over now
