Hello friends and Happy Spooky Season! It's official we hit 200 episodes and it's time for something completely different! A man with 3 buttocks! no wait, that's a different show...
Intro includes topics from A.I. actors, cryptid-inspired flavors, and light laughing at children's descriptions of cryptids. Then we move into our appetizer, the Cryptid Quiz! How well do YOU know your cryptids? Play along and find out, we haven't covered all of these ones! So you think you're smarter than a podcaster, lol, our new show! Wink!
BTW, there are SO many sea creatures, damn!! Love a lake monster, too. On to the entree, a new, possibly one-off segment called Cryptid of the Week! If you like it, maybe we do more... lol let us know!
Finally, we cap it off with a Peek into the Patreon content-some Reddit threads that are curated by Alanna and her ADHD! Embarrassing anecdotes, stupid movie tropes, and when artificial intelligence tries to create ads, and fail terribly. Guess Kelsey's doubling-down on her bot-craze!

Speaker
You are listening to Castles and Cryptids, possibly for the 200th time.
00:00:45
Speaker
Where the castles are haunted and the cryptids are cryptic as fuck. And the clinks are clanks. And I'm Alanna. And I'm Kelsey. If you were hoping for a nice crack like wine and crime, you're just going get a sad little clunk. It's like clunk one full beer bottle together and one empty.
00:01:07
Speaker
It makes a weird noise. I was going to ask, because how you were holding them, I couldn't tell if both were empty. i was going say, damn, she pounded those back. Yeah.
00:01:20
Speaker
No, it's just that I'm on my second strong bow. We have been recording. No, we've not been recording. We've been talking for 40 minutes. Yeah.

Podcast Growth and Gratitude
00:01:48
Speaker

We love you. Thank you. Yeah, appreciate people still tuning in and following us.
00:02:26
Speaker
I don't mind. I've had podcasts go, oh, we went to Bi-Weekly and I went, oh, I didn't notice because I hadn't listen to you for like a month or so because sometimes I just have so many I listen to I just don't it's nothing against them yeah exactly yeah um but if you are here for the first time welcome this is going to be a a little bit of a weird one we don't really have typical cases prepared um
Behind-the-Scenes on Patreon
00:02:52
Speaker
i have a cryptid quiz and um who some sort of patreon sneak peeks into what we what saves and stuff we get into over there the drama the tea the reddit um yeah bullshit where yeah uh i'd say our episodes over on patreon are a lot
00:03:14
Speaker
more like this where we don't always have a theme sometimes we are just don't know talking 25 minutes talking for twenty five minutes um Our last one... I don't know.
00:03:30
Speaker
I wouldn't say. No, it's not that it's Seinfeld show about nothing. Our last one was my... or We did some Reddit saves and then I particularly enjoyed your robot fail videos, which I was just saying to you. i was trying to add to our stories because they were so funny.
00:03:49
Speaker
Yeah, it's just not quite as scripted as sort our episodes normally are that we release. It's not true as well not well planned as yeah scripted.
00:04:04
Speaker
So scripted. We are so scripted. We're just like those reality shows like The Real Housewives. You they're all scripted, right? Yeah, we have producers that are like just being like cats.
00:04:16
Speaker
Say something say something we mean to each other.
00:04:21
Speaker
And also don't, we're not going feed you dinner and then we're gonna ply you with alcohol and then you're going to be screaming at that other lady and then we're going replace it with a cat and you're going become an iconic meme.
00:04:34
Speaker
oh that poor lady.
00:04:38
Speaker
No, but that one, youre the one video i was trying to post it is the one where it's like, what?
Humor and AI Mishaps
00:04:44
Speaker
robots are gonna say AI robots are gonna take over the world and it's just like robot falls to the ground robot fucking tries to kick something falls down like everything it's so good love it was re-watching it going to like yeah I'm gonna post this then it's like robot walks like crotch first into a pole and then falls over backwards into the street like
00:05:10
Speaker
yeah They're so dumb. It does look like the people slipping on ice or like Bambi on ice. or it's Once they lose their footing, it's very flailing and they take a really long time to actually fall over. it They catch themselves almost a number of times.
00:05:30
Speaker
Even the ones that have like the agile looking prosthetic-y looking
Ethical Concerns in AI
00:05:35
Speaker
limbs and stuff. Yeah, they're kind of just... so funny touch them once they just fall right over like that Austin Powers scene where he's like you the one man left standing with the gun all scared you why don't you just fall over why don't you just die okay oh god it's it's good to remind yourself sometimes that robots are quite a long ways off when you're watching what what what things do they have right now there's like some there's an AI band that
00:06:09
Speaker
um bill Somebody, yeah, somebody, well, there's a number of AI artists that are already on Spotify now. um There's an AI band. Yeah, I say that in the most loose term.
00:06:23
Speaker
But there's an AI band that somebody started because they wanted to like do like a cover band or like an homage to their favorite band.
00:06:34
Speaker
So they started this AI band that does similar music. And then that band, like the AI band has now surpassed the real band on Spotify. That's almost a million like active listeners that are like following them.
00:06:50
Speaker
And the real band heard about it and like released a statement being like, they're actually really disappointed in like the group that chose to do this. And it's like, yeah.
00:07:01
Speaker
And then it was, I think it was on Facebook. I saw that. And then it was maybe an hour later. I was looking, it was on Facebook again, and it said like all these actors and actresses were signing a petition because now there's an ai ah actress like named Tilly something, if I'm remembering correctly.
00:07:25
Speaker
Yeah, something like that. That this sorry talent agency came up with that they're trying to get in movies now.
00:07:38
Speaker
And it's like, Jesus Christ. like Yeah. Something like that, like a social media personality all made of AI sounds familiar. It's just like, why?
00:07:49
Speaker
That sounds like what you make a cover. It's even worse than if a cover band started outperforming the original. Because these are not yeah real people.
00:08:00
Speaker
Oh my god. Yeah, exactly. And if you if you think about it, like at least if somebody's like putting time and effort, like they're physically putting time and effort in something, at least if you're supporting it because that person's good, even if it's a cover band or even if it's something that's like an homage to something else, at least they're putting like time and energy into it.
00:08:25
Speaker
So if they're making money off of it, it's one thing, but if you're literally having like a talent agency that has an ai Like, actress that's now going to appear in movies, who's getting the money? Well, not the AI actress, it's the fucking talent agency. So, like, who's benefiting?
00:08:45
Speaker
Because nobody's... Would they have a talent agency? You just made my mind spiral. It was weird. it said it was some... Some, like... Sounded like some, like, Chinese company that made her or whatever.
00:09:00
Speaker
um But it's like, yeah, so who's getting all the money for that? Just the agency that owns the copyright for her likeness? Like, what the fuck? Oh, there's some real issues in that, of course. Yeah, like people not... Yeah, coming down to things not being original works and people not being paid enough for their intellectual property or using their voice, even.
00:09:26
Speaker
Like when oh yeah Judge Judy was just on... amy polar's podcast it was like yeah it's weird when people could make an ai baby of you doing stuff i don't love it yeah um oh shit but what was gonna say to what your point was don't know yeah it's it's scary it's weird um and like you do you really want you know we don't want art for it to be perfection That's not what art is. It's supposed to come from a soul. yeah
00:09:59
Speaker
Of a person. With flaws and things. I don't know how to better describe it, but damn. The AI shit is pushing people into some existential crises lately.
00:10:13
Speaker
Where you're like, you can't tell. like Which are. Yeah, already hated people. using it for like writing and that kind of stuff but it was like I never even thought about people using it to make a band or to just release on Spotify obviously they can't tour they can't maybe one day they could give interviews but you know that's someone's first thought how to make money off this every new invention hologram it up where's the Tupac hologram um it's just so disappointing
00:10:53
Speaker
We were just, oh, right. We were rewatching, them you know, Kevin Smith and Jay and Silent Bob. um Yeah. They did. We were rewatching the, it was a reboot, like a sequel to the, one of the Jay and Silent Bob sort of movies with Kevin Smith and them and ah Kevin Smith's daughters in it. And they like go to this convention Well, in the movie, she's Jay's daughter, not Silent Bob's daughter, but doesn't matter. her um She goes to this convention, there's a hologram of Chris Hemsworth, and he's, like, talking, and then he's like, please, ah can't believe I have to say this, but do not hump the holograph hologram, or whatever it's called.
00:11:34
Speaker
Please, please, do not folate the hologram. It will burn your mouth. all And they're, like, sitting there, like, doing, like, obscene gestures while he's saying that. It's so funny.
00:11:47
Speaker
like Of course. yeah Thor's hologram would be objectified. Yeah. It's just the way of it. Of course.
00:11:59
Speaker
Oh my gosh. um too Okay, yeah. What do you want to start with? ah do you have a quiz. I have a couple of Reddit posts that's singled out that I thought were pretty funny.
00:12:12
Speaker
um And... now And a cryptid of the week, if you will. I think it's only a few things. Okay. Maybe the quiz while I still have the most of my brain cells. Yeah. I was going to almost do one where it was like um kind of how we made our own quizzes before about things we had covered.
00:12:34
Speaker
yeah Disconnect.
00:12:40
Speaker
And then I was like, like I can write one out. Which cryptid am I? i like to do this. and then i was like, oh, this is going to take a while. I'll see if there's any preformed quizzes that aren't too crazy. Yeah.
00:12:53
Speaker
yeah So I, yeah, I found one and I like read through most of and went like, okay, like some of these are hard, but some of these are pretty good. So I thought it was pretty fair.
00:13:04
Speaker
Oh, okay. Hold on. I didn't think I would need to, but I just got to grab my charger. Oh, all good.
00:13:15
Speaker
Move this over here so I can read it. Ah, there we go.
00:13:29
Speaker
There we go. The ASMR.
00:13:34
Speaker
Of my creaky floors. And the thunk, thunk, thunk as I walk. I think something's getting plugged in.
00:13:45
Speaker
Um... Oh, and i just remembered, I was going to look it up, ah but I forgot again. Just go back to work today. And then basically we were like, yes, yes, we have to record this because we said it was coming out now. but another podcast, the Neatcast, was talking about, on a recent episode, cryptid-inspired flavored ice creams.
00:14:10
Speaker
And I was like, what? I have not heard of this. Oh, that's weird. Okay. okay Sometimes I'm like, why did I have to come to podcasts for my fun, like weird news?
00:14:22
Speaker
Cause I don't feel like I ever find this stuff on the internet. Otherwise sometimes. Yeah. There was like a Loch Ness monster one which had like some sort of coffee espresso. I don't know. Like they, you know, they made a description that like justified then there was like a Mothman one and, and stuff like that. And i was like, Oh,
00:14:43
Speaker
I should look those up or at least tell Kelsey on our next episode because that sounds fun. Yeah. I know. We should look them up and see if they're like just available in the States or wherever like these podcasters were located there. So I don't know.
00:15:00
Speaker
Shout out to the Neatcast for giving me my cryptid ice cream news.
00:15:06
Speaker
Yeah, like I've seen a couple different ones on or bes or That kind of stuff. You can see like Bigfoot. He's a popular one. and then Oh yeah. I have Bigfoot cookie cutters.
00:15:23
Speaker
you know It's always inspired by, isn't it? yeah Yeah. But I don't think I've ever seen like Mothman or anybody else on a beer.
00:15:34
Speaker
i know. i think Mothman might have been like if you ever had the one they call like Tiger Tracks that's like licorice and orange ice cream i don't know sounded oh it's a tiger tail it sounded licorice yeah don't yeah it's the only way i'll eat black licorice i hate black licorice but my sister has ice cream she used to eat some tiger tail and i would be like nope moon mist if anything if you're gonna get any you know when you get the flavors of the buckets they always have those weird flavors yeah all right um
00:16:10
Speaker
on from our ice cream talk which cryptid am I quiz um which I did get from like How Stuff Works yeah oh it was really interesting yeah yeah I guess that website for a cryptid quiz I know because I so i had to keep anyway i which cryptid am I and i and then you get all the the quizzes that are like Which cryptid are you more like? Mothman? You know, you're all A's. You're Loch Ness.
00:16:44
Speaker
i was like, no, that's not what I want. I want, like, guess the cryptid quiz like that. Not just do a ah one of them. Well, they have celebrity skills. Which character are you ones?
00:16:57
Speaker
They can be kind of silent when you're reading the things, though.
00:17:04
Speaker
No. No, this one will test some actual knowledge. Some of them were kind of hard. Oh no. Oh help me cheat. But some of them we had covered. So... Okay. I'm so proud of names.
00:17:19
Speaker
Even encrypted names. so so Yes.
00:17:23
Speaker
Alright, alright, alright. Well, we can all learn something then.
00:17:29
Speaker
I didn't want to be like, tester which one looks like a sea monster? that's basically the easy question. Which one's Mothman? Yeah, yeah, Which one has an ass that won't quit?
00:17:43
Speaker
Yeah. and Abs, washboard abs.
00:17:49
Speaker
um Okay, so number one. that And I basically wrote it word for word for the questions that asked. stole from how how stuff works or whatever um as always go to our website for our sources because we do not steal bitches we credit our sources
00:18:11
Speaker
um okay it started with this elusive monster appears as a sort of kangaroo slash goat hybrid walking on two legs and hoofed feet
00:18:22
Speaker
has the ability to fly short distances with its bat-like wings, and it's said to be the 13th child of a witch named Mother Leeds. Multiple choice.
00:18:33
Speaker
Is it A, Blair Witch, B, the Orkney Horror, or C, the Jersey Devil? The Jersey Devil. I was going to say it's either... you like i thought it was... um
00:18:49
Speaker
Yeah, Jersey Devil, or... oh Oh, I bet I can guess something to do with the goat hybrid part, maybe. Yeah, that, um, what is it called?
00:19:02
Speaker
Damn it! I told you it was bad with names. Oh, I don't know if I want to remind you of anyone's names. No.
00:19:12
Speaker
No, maybe you're thinking of Chupacabra. Chupacabra!
00:19:16
Speaker
Oh shit, I went down too far.
00:19:21
Speaker
I have Skrull. I have Jopacabra. Yeah, that's... Okay, no, so that one was... Let me go back up. I'm staring at my stickers of Mothman and Bigfoot being like, share the wisdom. yeah who knows how smart those guys are. Oh my god,
00:19:48
Speaker
don't like this. I should have printed it out. Okay, there. Now I have my scroll bar.
00:19:53
Speaker
can actually just scroll up and down without... I hate using the scroll pad to do that sometimes with my fingers. Okay.
00:20:03
Speaker
So ding, dingd ding, That is correct. um So yeah one point for Kelsey.
00:20:12
Speaker
Yay. ah got one out of one correct. It's fun because the people will play along at home. I always do because to give a shout out to another podcast that mentions fun cryptids, the neat cast does some some little games and stuff where I like playing along with things. That can be fun in podcasts, you know?
00:20:33
Speaker
Like guessing top tens. and Yeah. um Okay, so number two was in 1969, couples in a Texas town reported that a half-goat, half-man creature with fur and scales attacked their cars when out, quote-unquote, parking.
00:20:54
Speaker
Yeah, parking. So, okay the only known photo shows a hulking biped with shaggy white fur. Um, so yes, let's see if we can get this one. It's either A, the Lake Worth monster.
00:21:11
Speaker
so remember this is in Texas. Uh, or B, the Austin demon or C, the Balmoral beast. I don't think he's as well known to be fair.
00:21:25
Speaker
Whatever Austin one you said. Cause until you gave me the, um until you said white fur, I was definitely going the frog man. oh yeah you're like white fur and i went oh no yeah yeah it's like which yeah no you're american cryptids or whatever no we haven't covered this guy it apparently is the lake worth monster oh geez you threw me off of whatever was austin i don't know geography I don't know. I know i guess i this must be a place in Texas also. i don't know. i
00:22:00
Speaker
don't know why I thought that would be helpful.
00:22:05
Speaker
Maybe because Balmoral is... I think it's Balmoral is one of the royal residences in Scotland, I believe. i'm more at you um No, I haven't heard much about this guy. And like, again, with the half goat kind of got me.
00:22:25
Speaker
and I think I kind guessed when I was going through the quiz to like see if it was a good quiz and stuff. I was like, I think it's like worth monster, but I don't know. if I've ever heard it like covered very in depth to be fair.
00:22:39
Speaker
No, I've never heard of it. Okay. We might have to do some more North American cryptids then. Like there's not always a lot on them. I don't feel like, but yeah, this guy likes to attack, you know, obviously he likes to like the hook man be on the lookout for couples that are necking God forbid. Yeah. Horror movie. You should get close to sex or that monster is coming for you.
00:23:03
Speaker
You're going to killed in a, In the woods, on the side of a road, in a parking lot. That's right, because you're going to go to hell.
00:23:16
Speaker
um this cryptid okay this next one this cryptid um o okay yeah this could be a tough this cryptid is essentially a dinosaur chicken in a shape size to a sauropod that has reportedly managed to avoid extinction in the jungles of the congo river base a sauropod It says dozens of expeditions across more than a hundred years have failed to turn up evidence that it exists.
00:23:49
Speaker
And I'm going to struggle with the pronunciation, but it could be A, the Mokele Bembe, the B, Bantu, or the C, Megalodon.
00:24:01
Speaker
Megalodon. No, it's got to be the one you can't pronounce, right? It's the Mokele Bembe, right? I don't even know if I'm saying that right.
00:24:12
Speaker
But they had that movie. oh yeah, because he's a big shark. He's a big ass shark. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, not sure how big Sauropod is. To me, I was like, does this mean this guy is like similar to like a Nessie guy?
00:24:30
Speaker
think I might have heard mention of him when looking up other cryptids, but other than that, I've never heard anyone specifically cover him.
00:24:39
Speaker
the congo like we don't always get the african cryptids but we should we should look into okay um this might be more familiar number four this terrifying filipino monster takes a human shape during the day often living among people at night it turns into an animal or creature that sucks blood Sometimes it devours children instead, even sucking the unborn out of their mother's wombs while they sleep.
00:25:13
Speaker
And it could be A, the Bawalu, B, the Aswang, or C, the Palam.
00:25:22
Speaker
The Aswang. we've got as to wendy We've covered other similar ones, because I know I covered one too. I feel like the Filipinos have them vampire flying guys. And I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right. It's the Aswang.
00:25:40
Speaker
Or as it's basically spelled, the Asswang.
00:25:45
Speaker
The Wang of Ass. Wang of Ass. oh This underwater creature, thought to resemble a plesiosaur, is perhaps the most famous cryptid in the world.
00:25:59
Speaker
gets its name from its Scottish heritage. Scottish. It is the... This feels so stupid. I'm sorry. Lachlan Sea Monster. The B. Loch Ness Monster. Or C. The Highland Horror.
00:26:14
Speaker
gonna be blackness monster is that your final answer yeah uh i had to go back and look up the names for that one because i was like i didn't write down the um possible choices when they said the most famous i went oh okay thanks which like reading the list like the quiz online was a bit almost spoilery yeah Yeah, well, because you know how you can sometimes like read ahead a bit? like Anyway, there was a one that kind of did that. and i was like They're like, here's a picture.
00:26:50
Speaker
thanks. i
00:26:56
Speaker
Ooh, okay. I remember this was a bit of a hard one, maybe. Divers and fishermen in the Caribbean report attacks by this monster, which is said to resemble an enormous octopus.
00:27:09
Speaker
It is a... crack and A, Frida. B, the Lusca. Or C, the Octosaurus Rex. The Octosaurus Rex. Just because I like the name.
00:27:22
Speaker
I do I think I guessed that also, but it's something called the Lusca, which I've never heard of. i know. Where's our Octosaurus Rex, bitch?
00:27:36
Speaker
yeah It sounds just like the Liger from... ah Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People make logical names. Oh, yeah. name yeah oh yeah I gotta stop. Now i'm just keep referencing um other podcasts that, like, the Neatcast, but the Cryptids segment where the one guy, Zach, had his little kids describe the Cryptids, and then the guys had to guess them based on the kids describing them.
00:28:06
Speaker
was so cute, because he'd just be like, I don't know, he's like a pointy guy. I have no idea. yeah
00:28:15
Speaker
i have no idea
00:28:20
Speaker
But it was also just like super adorable. That's so funny.
00:28:27
Speaker
I know. God, we'll have to get on one of their episodes when they do a, sometimes when one of their guys can't go on because there's like three of them, they'll do like a rotating host or like a guest host. Come on. I'll talk your cryptid ear off, man.
00:28:44
Speaker
They always have a cryptid segment. Okay, this one, number seven, is about a mysterious corpse that was found on a beach in Long Island, New York in 2008. A modern one, if you will.
00:28:58
Speaker
It resembled a hairless beast. Yes. With a bizarre toothy beak.
00:29:06
Speaker
experts Experts later ID'd it as a raccoon that had undergone decomposition and lost part of its jaw. Or so they say. So, was it A, a Long Island Devil, B, a Suffolk Sea Creature, or C, the Montauk Monster?
00:29:26
Speaker
montau monster
00:29:34
Speaker
Sounds pretty devil-y to me, the first one. Ooh. Oh, that is a good guess because it was found on a beach in Long Island, New York.
00:29:46
Speaker
But was referring to the Montauk monster. okay. That was going be my second choice. It was, it's one of those ones where like, I'm like, I don't like when they say experts later, i did it as a raccoon. I'm like,
00:30:03
Speaker
Yeah, that's what some people concluded, but it also looked really fucking weird. It looked like it could have been like, I don't know, some sort of a hairless raccoon or something, but then it kind of looked like it had hooves. It was very strange looking. i think I mentioned it in one of mine, but it was a while ago. and Yeah, it was unidentified, I would say, officially. Yeah.
00:30:28
Speaker
Yeah. Especially because I hate when people are like, well, that was, you know, when something is like, well, just debunked. I'm like, yeah, whatever. Like the ones that do the proof is out there show or whatever, they're not too bad because they will have ah marine biologist who will talk about the remains of something washed up or like a video expert that's doing like the UFO sort of light videos. And they'll kind of be like, you can tell this one is fake. or And I love that. Like it's getting a good perspective on it. It's interesting.
00:31:00
Speaker
and But yeah, sometimes it's hard. Okay, number eight. Only a few sightings support the existence of this British cryptid, a terrifying combination of a predatory bird and human.
00:31:15
Speaker
Partly named for the town, it was found in and... and Sorry. Partly named for the town, it was cited in, ah which was Cornwall, England.
00:31:30
Speaker
Just worded that weird. So was this, uh, so remember it's a predatory bird and human. Was it a, the Exeter Eagle, B, the Cornish owl monster, or C, the owl man of Monin?
00:31:48
Speaker
The last one. I feel like that's, yes. I've heard that. Okay. I was like, I feel like I've heard of that name. I had no idea. I was like, there's an owl man guy.
00:32:02
Speaker
But then I think that one spoiled me because it was like the next one went, Owlman isn't the only Cornish cryptid. I was like, well, that's giving me the answer before I clicked it. Oh, damn. I hate that.
00:32:16
Speaker
No. And you got it without any guesses. And I was like, I think I just guessed at that one or just went, well, I guess it must be the Owlman. Yeah, that sucks.
00:32:27
Speaker
So this one said, Owlman isn't the only, that's hard to say, Owlman. Isn't the only Cornish cryptid, Foulmouth Bay has its own sea monster, the usual plesiosaur type.
00:32:40
Speaker
So, know, you're a little swimmy guy. Yeah. Oh, God. Celtic names. Is it A. Morgar?
00:32:54
Speaker
Morgar?
00:32:57
Speaker
Spelled like Morgar with an extra W in there. Morgar. okay uh okay so yeah foulmouth bay sea monster is it morgaur cornwall sea monster or the foulmouth bay serpent these are hard to say the more morgaur because it's the only one that doesn't sound like a fake answer you are right Good job.
00:33:28
Speaker
It's like me trying to make a quiz. You have one and then just the name of things with monster and serpent at the end. Monstrosaurus Ficus. Yeah, exactly.
00:33:39
Speaker
No, that's really good. Octosaurus Rex. I had never heard of that guy on so either, rather. And I, yeah, I think that was one where i was like, I have to guess and I have to note down which is the right answer because I don't know.
00:33:53
Speaker
Oh, shit. i was supposed to be keeping down how many you got right. What was that, five? Okay. um I don't know. I don't know. We're on number ten. I was going to ask a couple questions ago. What am I What we doing?
00:34:08
Speaker
You got Morgauer. You got Owlman. ooh you just missed Montauk Monster. Yeah. Octosaurus Rex. You got Loctus Monster. You got the Aswang.
00:34:24
Speaker
Jersey Devil. Oh, you are at five. You are at five. That's right. Five out of eight? Not bad. Ten. Yeah. Five out of ten? Yeah.
00:34:36
Speaker
It's a tough one. Oh. Fifty percent? Okay, we're on...
00:34:43
Speaker
This legendary Seabeast... Sorry, the top part was Seabeast heavy, I realized after.
00:34:52
Speaker
And that's why end up not including all the questions. So. Oh, sorry. Shit. No. Number 10. That's not the Sea Beast one.
00:35:04
Speaker
Number 10 is still in Cornwall slash Britain. This and one is famous for Panther.
00:35:13
Speaker
Still in Cornwall. Britain is famous for panthers stalking their prey far outside their distribution and in such numbers far too low to sustain a population. So I think they were saying that the panthers overstock some of their prey over, over hunt them.
00:35:31
Speaker
I guess. I know when I just wrote it, i was like, I didn't understand that a lot. I should have reworded it. Um, But like dead sheep and panther sightings on the Moor are, I guess, common and may have also created this legendary monster, which is either A, the Moorish cat, B, the beast of Bodmin, or C, American werewolf in London.
00:36:03
Speaker
It's last one so Brad Pitt? No, who's in that? The hounds of Baskerville. The Sherlock Holmes. Right, the Sherlock Holmes.
00:36:16
Speaker
It's kind of the Werewolf. Or werewolf in London. Final answer!
00:36:26
Speaker
Is it? Okay. Sure. Oh no, this one was Beast of Bodmin. Beast of Bodmin?
00:36:37
Speaker
I have no further information. Oh, damn. Okay.
00:36:45
Speaker
Oh, yeah, the next one was the ah legendary sea beast we mentioned. This legendary sea beast reportedly attacked ships with its massive tentacles.
00:36:57
Speaker
The Kraken!
00:37:01
Speaker
Yeah. It is the Kraken. Okay, i was gonna say if it's not the Kraken again, I'm gonna be so mad. Yeah.
00:37:09
Speaker
I'm like i I'll just save you that yeah you're right and all they said was numerous dead specimens were collected in the 20th century typically they were caught in nets or washed ashore and living adults were eventually captured on camera and film removing this creature from the cryptid ranks so they're saying it's Kraken is not considered a cryptid because it's a giant squid I guess Yeah.
00:37:35
Speaker
feel like they just figured that out in the last, like, ten years or something. guess it kind of makes sense. I mean, we can't see that shit underwater. It's so scary. i don't like the water all that much.
00:37:50
Speaker
The dark, deep water? Hell no. The Kraken and the Pirates of the Caribbean? Oh my god. um So yeah, you're right. It wasn't B, the Humboldt Squid, or C, the Emperor Jellyfish.
00:38:03
Speaker
I didn't even have to read them.
00:38:08
Speaker
ah Number 12, the article called Nessie's Competition for Most Famous Cryptid, which kind of gives it away, but originally a resident of the forest of the PNW, variations of this bipedal evolutionary mystery pop up all over the globe.
00:38:24
Speaker
Califax, the Del Hollow Monster, or Bigfoot?
00:38:29
Speaker
My man. Yeah.
00:38:34
Speaker
He's determined to get every question wrong. When Joey's doing that quiz show and he has to name things that are white, he's in the fridge and he just keeps going like, milk, a ghost or something.
00:38:45
Speaker
Makes me laugh every time. um Yes, Bigfoot. I don't even know. Those other ones were even real ones or they just made them up. I was like, Califax. Okay.
00:38:58
Speaker
Um... Number 13. This Himalayan primate is sort of a hipster's Bigfoot. It became well known in the 1920s before Bigfoot was big. ah Sometimes called the abominable snowman, it's mostly known for leaving massive prints in the snow.
00:39:15
Speaker
The Yeti? Is it A, the Yeti? B, the Boreal Snow Ape? Or C, the Garong? It is definitely A, the Yeti. We used to call my brother the Yeti. I don't know why He'd just jokingly come down from his room on high and go, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
00:39:35
Speaker
Sorry. What were you saying? I like the, whatever the second one was. Oh, bo Boreal Snow Ape. He sounds fun. Yeah. um sounds look good too Well, speaking of apes, another primate dude known for two things. He's stinking and he lives in Florida.
00:39:55
Speaker
And that's your clue. He is A, the southern stench beast, B, the Everglades swamp man, or C, the skunk ape. Oh, the skunk ape.
00:40:07
Speaker
Yeah. I can't believe we even really talked about that guy He's too smelly. Yeah. He does seem like Bigfoot's unemployed cousin or something. Yeah.
00:40:20
Speaker
I don't know. um ah Many sea monster reports are derived from eerie carcasses that watch wash up on beaches, each like some kind of bizarre unknown creature.
00:40:34
Speaker
They are usually decomposing masses of fat from sperm whales or other rotting animal carcasses known as benthys ghouls. B. Globsters. Or C. Thraouls.
00:40:51
Speaker
I have no idea. is not really a cryptid, in my opinion.
00:41:02
Speaker
We... Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:10
Speaker
B! I don't know. I don't remember what any of them were. It is B! It's Blobsters! It's Lobsters with a G! But it's like, I feel like it's anything that's even less ah recognizable than the other one. The Montauk monster we covered that looked like a freaking hairless raccoon or whatever, is sort of, that they said decomposing. It's like, it's just things that wash up on shore that are like,
00:41:39
Speaker
big masses of substance like the glob gross i know but not really encrypted i'm gonna blame you for knowing that not knowing the term i think i came across it once and went oh my god globsters i love it yeah possibly when investigating that one called the montauk monster it sounds fun um
00:42:06
Speaker
Because he's her globster. No. Remember that from friends or whatever? ah
00:42:15
Speaker
No. Okay. It's just kind of like he's her soulmate. I think they said lobsters made for life or something. So modern sightings of giant avian creatures have come to be associated with this Native American myth. Is it A. the Thunderbird B. Quetzalcoatl or C. The River Wraith?
00:42:38
Speaker
Thunderbird. Thunderbird. I was going to guess that for the other flying one. the it wasn't. What was the other flying one? Well, you got Gloves versus Thunderbird.
00:42:51
Speaker
Oh, you got the Skunk Ape.
00:42:56
Speaker
Sorry, I was forgetting to mark us down here.
00:43:01
Speaker
I can't even remember.
00:43:04
Speaker
You can't remember either, but you're honestly doing pretty good now. and This scary monster appeared in West Virginia in 1952 after a meteor was seen in the sky.
00:43:17
Speaker
It was thought to be connected to a UFO crash, and a strange mist emitted by this creature made eyewitnesses ill. Was it the Elk River Ghost, the Silverton Creature, or the Flatwoods Monster?
00:43:31
Speaker
Flatwoods Monster. Yes. Didn't you cover him? Yeah. I thought so. He had always creeped me out. Like the little allest head yeah the little sketch of it always creeped to me out.
00:43:49
Speaker
i but But when I heard it described like that, I thought, what the fuck are they talking about? West Virginia. If it's not freaking like, yeah, you're normal cryptid. You don't think of it.
00:44:00
Speaker
um And the meteor. Okay. Okay. So this one is most commonly seen in Mexico and the Southwestern un United States. This livestock eating cryptids name means. Chupacabra.
00:44:14
Speaker
Yes. Finally. Chupacabra. One of these better be Mothman. Better be Mothman. I know. How can you not hit the the highlights? The classics.
00:44:27
Speaker
Yeah. I think we're almost there. I think I only did like 25 or something. It was a long list. It was like 30 something. In the France was stalked by a monstrous wolf said to have killed dozens or even hundreds of people.
00:44:45
Speaker
King Louis XV even sent royal wolf hunters to capture the beast. Was it Claremont-Ferrard Werewolf? The Beast of Gévedon?
00:44:57
Speaker
Or the Red Wolf of Abbe de Chazes? The beast of Jevedon. Yes. I've heard that. I was like, it probably doesn't help that the other ones I'm like really hesitant on how to pronounce them.
00:45:13
Speaker
The other one I've heard a few times. Yeah, but he's like a really old werewolfy thing, which is like, ooh. ah I love the like Frenchy werewolves, like the blue guru and then it's offshoot the Rougarou.
00:45:30
Speaker
which uh they just mentioned on supernatural earlier we're watching it bobby goes to fight one um okay number 20 residents of loveland ohio have reported seeing this unique cryptid in the 50s 70s and 2016 it's a hybrid human animal and walks on hind legs is it the loveland frogs
00:45:58
Speaker
She's got man hands. The Loveland. Are you sure? are you sure it's not the Loveland Pigman or the Loveland Freak? Hi buddy.
00:46:09
Speaker
The Loveland Freak. Also the Loveland Pigman and then the other something else you just said was reminding me of the freaking Seinfeld. Oh we just watched the Seinfeld finale.
00:46:21
Speaker
Not all. She has man hands. He was a close talker. It's like all the um yeah compilation of all the different things. But also Kramer sees a pig man. Don't forget it. In a hospital. It was really weird one. um Okay.
00:46:38
Speaker
ah Residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia were terrorized by a red-eyed winged creature in the... Uh-oh. The coast was to have a date there.
00:46:53
Speaker
End of sentence.
00:46:59
Speaker
Supposedly caused. What? It's Mothman. I was like, moving on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Say no more. It's Mothman.
00:47:11
Speaker
She knew this was West Virginia. yeah. And that was the last one. oh I don't know if I added up your things right. I don't know.
00:47:22
Speaker
now have 13 marked down.
00:47:27
Speaker
Out of the 21. think it was more than that. Because then you also got the the Beast of Jevaudon. I wrote that down.
00:47:36
Speaker
I think you passed. Woo!
00:47:42
Speaker
I got an in cryptids class. Right? I love a good cryptid quiz. We'll have to do some more because they make me want to cover ones that I haven't heard of. And stuff.
00:47:55
Speaker
Yeah. And I do... have to go charge headphones. And scratching the carpet. He's totally scratching the carpet. And my headphones are out of juice.
00:48:05
Speaker
um So we'll be right back.
00:48:26
Speaker
That would help.
00:48:34
Speaker
It's been that kind of day now. Okay, this is just a quick one. like There we go. I can see you.
00:48:43
Speaker
I didn't have a better name for it, so I called it Cryptid of the Week.
00:48:48
Speaker
It's a little bit different. It's just, say, a little bit tricksy. And we're calling it...
00:48:58
Speaker
You know, a special for our 200th. Something we've never done before.
00:49:04
Speaker
This is the sand eel. She's scared now. I know. I'm being weird. I'm
00:49:12
Speaker
i'm being cagey. No. This is the sand eel of Necris. What? We like a sand eel. i think that other cryptid quiz almost got to a...
00:49:26
Speaker
I feel like there was a Mongolian death worm in there somewhere. but Probably. i was like ah like, how long is this quiz? like by the time i think it was like 30 questions or something. Because I was like, oh, I got like 20 some out of 30 by the end. I was like, it's not terrible. ah Yeah. My run through. Okay.
00:49:49
Speaker
So this sand eel. It's actually funny that it's a sand eel because it loves it It inhabits a cold climate and can survive in 40 for short periods of time and hibernates, even.
00:50:05
Speaker
Okay. And like some other cryptids, it's actually an animal lover. Loves other animals. Oh, it doesn't eat them? Or mutilate them? Not they're cute.
00:50:20
Speaker
It'll snack on chickens, bacon, eggs.
00:50:26
Speaker
You mean pigs? and Chicken? Yep.
00:50:32
Speaker
It's not vegan.
00:50:35
Speaker
And it's not even shy as much as Bigfoot. It doesn't mind pictures and it will actually collect old cameras. Oh. A worm. A worm.
00:50:48
Speaker
It's a sand eel. Or an eel, sorry. in e Sorry, I'm dying. sheds its skin layers in the spring, and it grows new ones every winter. And site sightings have been reported since the mid-1990s, and sometimes it's even mistaken for the similar statured Boobzilla, who also has four eyes.
00:51:13
Speaker
Boobzilla? Do we have a cryptid name generator that when they're trying to name something, they're just like... Two random words together. Boobsilla.
00:51:27
Speaker
No, that's a clue. I'm trying to trick you.
00:51:38
Speaker
I made this cryptid out. Oh my god. It's based on someone I know very well. It might even be an anagram of their name.
00:51:53
Speaker
It's spelled the sand eel of Necris, N-E-K-R-Y-S, which is an anagram of Kelsey Anderson. Oh, no.
00:52:06
Speaker
They did it on, and that's why we drink, where Em made a cryptid that was all, like, Christine and called it the Herstein Shifter instead of the Christine Sheeber.
00:52:20
Speaker
I think I mentioned it to you, but I didn't think you'd ever clock it. And I was just like, I wonder if I can do that.
00:52:28
Speaker
I definitely was not. I was just like, what the hell? I'm laughing my ass off over here, like, being a weirdo. And you're yeah, that's Alana. She's just... She's just a weirdo. Telling me about Boobzilla. Because that's what my sister called me before, I was a kid.
00:52:47
Speaker
When she didn't call me Farticus. Yeah.
00:52:53
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:52:57
Speaker
I thought it was funny. I was mentioning to Pat. He's stoic. I'm like, whatever. I'm like, you're a tough crowd.
00:53:05
Speaker
I prefer warm climates, though. Yes. But you would inhabit a cold climate. sadly. I do like bacon and eggs.
00:53:22
Speaker
I swear when Em did it, they were like, uh, it likes Fall Out Boy and like wine or something. I was like, wait, you can't be that crazy. They'll get it so easy. ah Yeah, I was not cluing in at all.
00:53:37
Speaker
Like, what would I say if I really wanted you to know it was something like you really like to eat or something? I feel like I don't even know what your favorite food is, sadly. Wait, what?
00:53:48
Speaker
A burger. burger? I mean, if I'm a burger or a sandwich. Oh, hell yeah oh Sandwiches and burgers. You know I love a good sandwich.
00:54:01
Speaker
It likes cold pizza. It likes cold pizza. Oh, I think I almost said inhabits. inhabit With the fat cordos.
00:54:14
Speaker
I don't know what I was doing.
00:54:19
Speaker
Trying to be sneaky without being obvious.
00:54:23
Speaker
You did a good job. I did not see that coming. I was like, is this going to be a weekly thing? This is so weird. It should be. What if we do one per week where it's like, guess the person you know where it's like based off some celebrity?
00:54:39
Speaker
Or something. That'd be too difficult. It could be. And just to be clear, I totally stole the idea, like I said, when that's why we drink.
00:54:51
Speaker
But it was funny when they did it, I thought. It was good. I enjoyed it.
00:55:00
Speaker
Oh my god, that was hard with the name. Yeah. It's stuck in my binary.
00:55:12
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think... ah No, I tried to make something else out of it. wasn't going to happen. I said, oh, well, I said, it's a cryptid cat friend. The fat man cohabitates with it.
00:55:25
Speaker
I forgot to include that.
00:55:29
Speaker
El Gordo. but would have been like, what are you doing? Alana's lost her mind. She's like, what is she okay?
00:55:41
Speaker
What is in that? fell too far down Reddit.
00:55:48
Speaker
I believe everything I read now. Even satire. It's like how AI gets things like so wrong. Well, not like, but you know what I mean. like It'll think it gets something right, but then the AI overview will be like, yes, this person's girlfriend is that. And i was like, I didn't think he had a girlfriend. was like, no, that was from a pretend sketch.
00:56:13
Speaker
It just gets it really bad, badly wrong. I think somebody, I saw something the other day that was so funny. It was like somebody asking a straightforward question. Like,
00:56:30
Speaker
does for some reason I feel like it was like does this month have many days and the AI answer was no but the month of the same month has that many days and it was like Hmm.
00:56:46
Speaker
It's like, so I'm asking that particular month, does it have this many days? And it's like, no, but that same month has that many days. I was like, okay, cool. ah Yeah.
00:56:58
Speaker
Cause can it interpret something like you being like, well, October has 20 days. Well, yeah, it does, but it also has 31 in total. You know what I mean? Could it be something that like pedantic or whatever?
00:57:12
Speaker
yeah Yeah. It was like stupid. Yeah, it's really... It's like that video I trying post. I run it again. That you showed me on Patreon. Robot.
00:57:23
Speaker
Falls down. If I find it again, I'll i'll save it. Same with the one it was years and years ago now. Where somebody... It was like one of the earliest AI things. And they put made it watch a whole bunch of...
00:57:40
Speaker
uh car insurance or like insurance commercials and then asked it to write an insurance commercial and it involved like a woman whose house was hit being hit by a tornado but then she fell in love with the tornado
00:57:58
Speaker
ah and then it just like ended it's just like ended with whatever insurance company name and i was like what
00:58:08
Speaker
It was like, commercial ends. It was like, okay. She fell in love with the tornado that destroyed her home. That misses the mark a little bit. But I must admit, sometimes the ads are too targeted. Yes.
00:58:26
Speaker
I get ones are like, yeah, they're very local. You're like, you're doing an auto dealership. It's commercial that I hate from down the road. Sherwood, but. yeah um But then also. for I fucking hate it. That was so catchy.
00:58:45
Speaker
oh And there was one that was like. On the handsome pod. And they do ones. And it is for some car insurance. Which is what made me think of that. It's like. You know. Checking first is smart. You're like. If checking. If you could save.
00:58:58
Speaker
Sorry, that's fortune-femester doing it. But um one of them was like like, just like checking to make sure you have all your um passports and ID ready before you go to the airport. And I was like, guys.
00:59:11
Speaker
I feel so targeted by that one this week and triggered because that's literally basically what happened when Raina and I got to the airport and I was like, she'll be okay without a government photo ID. She's only just turned 18. They've never given a shit before. and i was like, no, no, no, no. You guys don't have her.
00:59:31
Speaker
Well, didn't have the proper non-photo ID either. should have had her birth certificate. Anyway. It doesn't matter, but it was very triggering.
00:59:43
Speaker
Aw, yeah. Like, what the hell? Um, okay, the other two things were on Reddit, so let me get to where my sage is.
00:59:59
Speaker
I think I was mentioning this.
01:00:03
Speaker
How do I make this sidebar go away? Sidebar go away?
01:00:10
Speaker
Do you like how I talk to it? Yeah. Like somebody told this one girl on Taskmaster that the toaster would go down. it was voice activated. So she has to do it.
01:00:23
Speaker
It did not work. did Okay, no, this one I... Sorry. Did you ever watch the IT crowd? you Maybe one episode, but I also heard it was really funny. Yeah, because it has some really funny actors.
01:00:40
Speaker
Does that The one with TJ Miller? Yeah. No. No, TJ Miller. No? Oh, okay. Sorry, sorry. My bad. um It's like a British one. and Yeah, yeah, yeah. They did that.
01:00:58
Speaker
yeah we um yeah They tech guys. They worked in the basement, and that's like the higher up. the CEO or whatever of the company, like, owner of the company dies, and he leaves everything to, like, his stupid son, the son comes in, and he's like, set up my desk.
01:01:16
Speaker
So they set up his desk, and they, he's, he's an idiot. Um, yeah, maybe it was even the, maybe it was actually the dad before he died.
01:01:26
Speaker
um but they, anyway, they tell him his computer's voice activated, he just needs to talk to it, so he goes, hello, computer. Computer, hello. Hello. Good morning. Hello. It's just like the end of the episode. It's like playing out during the credits. He's like, hello.
01:01:42
Speaker
Turn on. Good morning. god. Computer? This goes for like two minutes of him just trying to talk to the computer. It's so funny.
01:01:54
Speaker
I'm surprised people don't do that more Sometimes the voice activated stuff is like goldmine. did that on 30 Rock, but he's like, oh shit, and the TV turned it on to like the Kardashians or something.
01:02:05
Speaker
It's so silly.
01:02:11
Speaker
No, that was good. Oh, that's what it reminded me of. Yeah, because you reminded me of an anecdote when I was listening to Smartless and they had Lionel Richie on and he was talking about that song that Hello, you know, is it me you're looking for?
01:02:27
Speaker
he's like oh yeah. He was waiting for his like manager or whatever to come in for their like session or whoever it was. And he's on the piano and he's just he was just tinkering around. That's when he said it. He goes, hello.
01:02:39
Speaker
And then the the manager guy was like, what's the rest that song? he's like, that's not a song. Are you coming in to see me? And he's like, no, I want to hear the rest that song. And it basically went from there and turned it into a song. blah, blah.
01:02:51
Speaker
It was funny, though. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, this one I mentioned our Patreon. It comes from the subreddit called TIFU, which stands for Today I Fucked Up.
01:03:07
Speaker
And it says, the title is Today i Fucked Up. In case you're having a bad day at work, this happened today. um Posted in other communities, gave some people a good laughs, thought I'd share it on this subreddit.
01:03:21
Speaker
I was using the bathroom at work this morning to relieve my bowels of some building pressure, all part of the normal routine. I'm going on a trip this weekend to golf. It's fine. It's very short. Don't worry about too long. Didn't read looking forward to it while sitting in the toilet. I watched a hole by hole walk through for about 20 minutes.
01:03:40
Speaker
He's watching golf, not even realizing it and the implications that could have my legs went completely numb from sitting on the toilet too long.
01:03:49
Speaker
I stood up and bent over to wipe and fell headfirst through the stall door. Enough force that it became unlatched and onto the ground. This scared the shit out of the person using the urinal beside it, and he nearly peed on me as he frighteningly turned around as I was scrambling to get back up with my pants down, ass up, and the stall door swinging out and around right at him, almost hitting him.
01:04:15
Speaker
Jeez. getting up was no small feat pants around my ankles numb legs i thought i'd never walk again as i scooted back into the stall to finish what i started i don't think i can come to work once word gets out about this and then just too long didn't read legs fell asleep sitting on toilet for too long leaned forward to wipe and lost all balance falling forward and busting through stall door yep yeah
01:04:43
Speaker
It's just, it lives in my head rent-free now. It's like a fucking comedy sketch. I just... I can't imagine your legs falling asleep.
01:04:55
Speaker
I don't know. Yeah, that's got to be an interesting, not a good position or something for that to actually Because I've done like colonoscopies and I've prepped for them and you basically have to drink stuff that gives you diarrhea and you sit on the toilet for like three to four hours straight and don't move.
01:05:19
Speaker
So my legs didn't fucking fall asleep. So don't know what his problem is. He can't sit there for 20 minutes.
01:05:30
Speaker
And no judgment really, but has to stand up to white, which I know is some people's preference, but that was your problem. That was your first issue. You got a head rush and then you went.
01:05:44
Speaker
Oh God. Okay. Sorry, that wasn't the one I had like specifically sort of like, oh yeah, let's make this one kind of earmarked for it. These are funny, but I thought that one was funny.
01:06:01
Speaker
Okay, saved. need to turn my battery, save her on. going close this out with something funny from Reddit. Probably just one, maybe two.
01:06:15
Speaker
i don't think I did this one on Patreon. um It's ah on the subreddit overheard. Overheard on an airplane. i didn't correct them. Back of the plane waiting for people to deplane and overheard flight attendants in the back chatting with passengers who have gibbets charms on their Crocs.
01:06:35
Speaker
So we all know the crocs are those little sandals. Yeah. Flight attendant. Oh, I like your croc button things. I think my niece has those too. Passenger. Thanks. I forget what they're called.
01:06:46
Speaker
Boomer passenger. I think they're called jizzits. Flight attendant. Oh yeah, that's right. Jizzits. Before I know it, three people are using the word jizzits and I'm dying and saying nothing.
01:07:00
Speaker
7,000 upvotes. And
01:07:05
Speaker
it's like, ah ah it's like kids say the darndest things, basically the comment section after that. Someone said the top vote was like my friend's daughter who was maybe eight or 10 at the time called them k crock rings.
01:07:17
Speaker
When he quietly asked her not to call them that she asked why not then yelled it three more times. They were in the middle of a mall and she was asking to get more while they were there. I want more crock.
01:07:33
Speaker
Oh, damn. yeah Turns out crock and like, yeah, clock could be a very hard word for some kids.
01:07:42
Speaker
Yeah. My niece cannot say yellow. no. Roni. Yeah.
01:07:52
Speaker
What is she saying? she says it like... It's weird because she said, it's not like she says like Lello or something. Like she's, she gets the yell part, but then she's, and think she says yell, yell-a-yo something. It's like, I've never heard another kid said yell-yo.
01:08:13
Speaker
apparently' So close. I had to remind Rain the other day I said to her, oh yeah, I remember when you used to call them doorknogs. She's like, what? I was like, you know, like doorknob, but doorknog.
01:08:25
Speaker
eggnog. I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a very so subtle difference. But once you hear it, you're like, wait, what?
01:08:35
Speaker
Yeah, I love those. Those are so funny.
01:08:40
Speaker
yol. oh And some of these in the in the comments had to do with, yeah, some lisps and stuff, which is funny just because of what they ended up sounding like.
01:08:52
Speaker
um Not to make fun of any of that, of course, but someone said, when my daughter was very young, she didn't speak super clearly. we were in the produce department and they had a large display of whole peanuts in shrink wrapped trays.
01:09:04
Speaker
She loudly and happily pointed at them and shrieked, Penis! Money, you love- Mommy, you love penis! Penis, little one, penis.
01:09:15
Speaker
There's a tray of penis! Oh, I think this one made me snort out loud. They have replied, My oldest used to ask us to make her cock porn.
01:09:26
Speaker
Cock porn. What's that? Popcorn. Oh. It's so...
01:09:36
Speaker
Oh, man. It's like, I don't know. Corn pops, man. ah That could be a hard one to say, too. Oh, and someone said my toddler used to call cupcake cupcakes cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes.
01:09:53
Speaker
They're my favorite, mommy. Ugh. ah these are the ones yeah i sometimes I like get distracted at work turn this on like oh I gotta get off reddit cause I'll be on here scrolling like what the fuck yeah was there another one but there are some good ones with head
01:10:21
Speaker
let's see we might be able to fit one more if I pick a quick one hey yeah yeah No more kumquats and We did the most bizarre sex death ever. We definitely did that.
01:10:45
Speaker
Oh no, that was just on my little list.
01:10:50
Speaker
Oh, okay. Um, just this one was a little interesting because it was, uh, on the, oh no, it was something about movies. What's something you keep seeing in movies that no one actually does in real life and annoys you every time.
01:11:04
Speaker
And it was on AskReddit. Those things always pique my interest. Cause I'm like, yeah, movie tropes. Um,
01:11:17
Speaker
One of the the top comments in this one. A group of experts explaining something to other people in a criminal hunt with each one saying one sentence, completing each other's thoughts as if everyone is always in full harmony within the team and everyone needs a turn. And someone said, I'm looking at you criminal minds.
01:11:35
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Another top comment. A character drives into a city center and is able to park directly outside the building they wish to enter. oh my god yes i know that one comes up like if yeah i don't know how did this get made sometimes um order a drink and leave the bar without ever taking a sip oh that annoys me yeah i don't know if it's on this one you never see somebody ask for ah check or whatever unless they're trying to make
01:12:11
Speaker
No. Like an awkward situation. Like they just broke up with somebody and going to check please or something. Not even what annoys me as a bartender is not even a specific beer.
01:12:21
Speaker
I'll take a beer. Well, what fucking kind of beer do you want? Sorry. like yeah That would not be enough information most of the time. Yeah, and the one that says they take a meal and never take a bite um reminds me of, I don't know if it's on this one, but someone said the the they make a big breakfast for the family and like everyone leaves without really eating any of that either. You're like, oh. Yeah. um When you're watching a medical drama and the doctor draws the blood, walks into the lab themselves, and then proceeds to perform the testing alone in the lab that is dark and quiet.
01:12:56
Speaker
Yeah. okay yeah yeah to which someone replied gray's anatomy annoys me with this the same surgeons do starting care take blood run the test results manage the yeah er and do elective surgeries are there no other staff pa's nurses text anyone yeah so silly where's the where's the phlegm botanist or whatever they are yes i think that's what one of the creeps and crimes girls does ah Yeah, phlobotomist?
01:13:29
Speaker
That thing where you take blood or whatever? Yeah.
01:13:35
Speaker
Cool job, Ty. um Oh, not a small thing. This one got uploaded a lot, too. But a character who lives in a house or apartment way beyond their means. For example, a restaurant server living alone in a large apartment with a view in a major city. Come on!
01:13:51
Speaker
Almost friends. read that last part in Dean's voice. more
01:13:59
Speaker
They all should be living like Sam and Dean on Supernatural, actually. Like, out of hotels.
01:14:05
Speaker
Yeah. they I saw something on YouTube. I didn't watch the video, but it was just like the apartment in the Friends universe that they live in would be like $8,000 a month.
01:14:17
Speaker
Their two-bedroom giant apartment. I don't know if that was supposed to be in the 90s or like now, but... think they make some mention that of rent control, but that's it.
01:14:29
Speaker
like yeah she said it's like they're not allowed to have the the person come because yeah the the grandma died or whatever something like that it's like yeah you should address it because there's no way you guys can afford that or the four of them in new girl even though it's four of them they have a giant loft Like, we've shared an upstairs apartment when I met Pat. he was living It was like a three-bedroom apartment, but it's not like a giant living room space and everything. Like, they have a new girl and stuff like that. It's crazy.
01:15:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's huge. Yeah, and they're in LA. that's trying to get that kind of real estate in Vancouver or something. Like, forget about it.
01:15:18
Speaker
and They said, like, this is in a similar vein, single women in Hallmark movies always live in big
01:15:26
Speaker
Wait, three, three out of four bedroom houses. Oh, three to four bedroom houses. Maybe they mean it was a three slash four that threw me off. Three quarter bedroom houses.
01:15:37
Speaker
I was like, what does that mean?
01:15:40
Speaker
That stupid real estate speak with perfectly manicured lawns, renovated kitchens and high end furniture, all while being a kindergarten teacher or running a failing bakery. Yeah.
01:15:51
Speaker
Oh God. And like, yeah, a lot of it. that vein of the the uh apartments they wave around coffee cups tilt them gesture with them carry a tray of three like coffee drinks in one hand etc etc yeah because they're not full yeah they got nothing in it or like i've heard them talk about how they're like oh they bring in those big paper bags and they have always if they're from the grocery store they have a baguette a baguette but then they always like they're like but then we have to make them fake paper because real paper is too noisy
01:16:25
Speaker
bit plastic or reusable now everybody goes to the bakery and gets a fucking giant paper bag like were' in some tiny quebec town i don't know i i are heard about that recently about them having to do fake props of stuff to cushion the like noise of objects in a scene and it's like oh i never really thought about that It's so crazy what the props department gets up to. Like, just making stuff out of nothing. Yeah.
01:16:59
Speaker
yeah They're making sounds. The Foley artists are making sounds. And then there's people making stuff that doesn't... are So it doesn't make sound. Yeah, yeah. The opposite.
