C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C- Oh my goodness, let me tell you. So, bronchitis lasts between 10 and 20 days. That's like almost a month.
Starting point is 00:00:46 It is the worst. Half a month to a month. I'm not fully over it yet, but I'm back. So, that's good news. And we made a change to the Patreon because I know a lot of people were like, not enough podcasts. So now it's per podcast episode. Yeah, and if you want to cap off how much
Starting point is 00:01:05 you want to give like if you're like i donate five dollars but i can only give five dollars then you just cap it at five and then you won't get charged like 20 if we actually made four episodes yeah i feel like now we're gonna make maybe a hundred episodes a month yeah just to screw with you because that's kind of what we're about. Welcome to the 8th Cox and Crednor episode today. Woppy, how you doing? Woppy is destroyed. Please stop making podcasts. This is slavery.
Starting point is 00:01:35 You're a robot, Woppy. You have no feelings. Get back to work. That is what they all say. But we're back. So, my goodness gracious, last night saw phantom of the opera yes and it was a revival renewal something like it was a restaging of it so it's all the same songs but they restaged it and made it a little bit different so so i look i don't i couldn't tell you i couldn't tell you at all all i know is the people i went with were like they didn't have this and this costume was different and this happened and this
Starting point is 00:02:10 happened differently and this song had a different lyric in it so it's like if you were to read a book and then watch a movie about yes yeah but it was the same thing i mean all the songs were the same but it was like a different version of it so it it was like a new updated version. And so I had the epiphany after it was over, I should just keep making more modern versions of musicals. Like take Phantom, for example, and change it completely. So I don't know if you know the story of Phantom and the opera, but let me just sum it up for you real quick. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Ugly dude lives in basement of opera. Uh-huh. Trains beautiful girl to become star singer when she finally becomes star singer everyone notices her he gets super mad tries to bang the girl she freaks out runs away into the arms of another guy and then the dude gets angry and tries to kill everyone end of story oh all right so my version is Friend Zone the musical. And so in my story, it takes place in a high school. Look, it's going to sell really, really well.
Starting point is 00:03:15 It takes place in a high school in the musical theater department of a high school. And so the main characters are a cheerleader and her boyfriend. The cheerleader is also the lead in the play every year. Yes. And then this young girl who, let's say she's now a sophomore. All right. And all through ninth grade, she was being trained by a secret tutor to become a very good singer. All right. And so she ends up getting the lead in the musical,
Starting point is 00:03:38 which very much angers the senior girl cheerleader and her boyfriend who have been doing it forever. Right. And then because she gets the lead in the musical, the boys she's always liked, who she's known since they were very, very young, finally notices her and likes her too. All right. Well, this draws the ire of the ugly kid who's been tutoring her all these years secretly after school.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And he's like, oh oh i made your voice and i made you why don't you love me and she's like what i can't you're so hideous and so that's what she tells him because yeah he's so ugly and then it's friendzone the musical it's basically the same premise except it's friendzone the musical that's what I realized walking out of Phantom. That's the premise of that musical. The dude loves her so much and she super friendzones him. And he's like, and then when she finally kisses him at the end, he has a massive orgasm.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I don't know what the hell the stage directions were, but last night was so funny. At the end, she's like, you poor pitiful soul. And she kisses him and the Phantom like jizzes on stage. it was so it was like and like collapses in her arms like from a kiss and so yeah and so she kisses him and then she leaves him to go off with the other guy and then he vanishes like so in the end she ends up with
Starting point is 00:04:59 the guy she wanted to be with anyway and the friend zone nerdy ugly dudes like whoosh i'm gone yep well half of what you described first is sounds like high school musical the disney yeah but this is this is friend zone the musical yeah but like are you saying that high school musical is based off phantom the opera i've never seen seen High School Musical. Well, it's like, it's the Disney version, and there's no ugly people. Well, that's not how this works. Yeah, well, that's the kicker. That's the screw in the old haystack, you know? Well, maybe it's like movie ugly.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Like, she has glasses. What an uggo. You know, like that. Movie ugly. Where they take off the glasses, and suddenly she's automatically beautiful and everyone's like, oh my god. Unbelievable. I never even thought that was the same person.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Yeah, her hair's up in a bun and she has glasses and she's movie ugly. Yeah. That's like this guy. He's very, very handsome, but he has like a scar on his face. Like a little tiny scar. It's acne scars. Yeah, like Tyrion Lannister. Like a little, like he's not. That's acne scars. Yeah, like Tyrion Lannister. It's not bad.
Starting point is 00:06:08 But, you know, it's movie ugly. Yeah, I got you. So I had this idea. We could do it with all sorts of musicals. Like Cats. Cats is just a musical about a retirement home. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Yeah, it's just about a retirement home and old people thinking back about their lives. Yeah, I like that. I'd watch that. And what other musicals are there? All right. Annie. Annie can be about two. All right, let's break it down.
Starting point is 00:06:41 All right, so Annie, young girl, gets adopted by rich dude. Yeah. What if we replace the girl? So it's kind of like the rags to riches. What if we replace the girl with a dog? Oh. And it's not an orphanage.
Starting point is 00:06:55 It's a pound. Oh, shit. And the dog gets adopted by a rich old man and teaches him how to love. I like it. It's like Air Bud, but without the sports. rich old man and teaches him how to love. I like it. It's like Air Bud, but without the sports. No, we add the sports into it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:12 We make the sports part of it. So in the end, the dog, instead of dancing, becomes a basketball player. We're very good at this. We are very good at this. And we don't even need a major athlete to talk to the dog. We get some mediocre athlete Yeah, oh, and here's the best part. We keep all the songs all the songs are the same yeah Yep, so the dogs like oh
Starting point is 00:07:38 But we toot we tune off like one key So it's like it's a hard knock life for us so that we get copyright perfect perfect Uh-huh, uh what are the musicals are there there is? for us so that we don't get copyright. Perfect. Perfect. Uh-huh. What other musicals are there? There is... Oh, my God. And then, instead of It's a Hard Knock Life, he'll be like, It's a Hard Woof Life.
Starting point is 00:07:54 That'll help the copyright. That would. It'll add some, like, dog elements. You're so good. I know. You're so good at this. All right. What about Miss Saigon is about all you need to know about miss saigon is
Starting point is 00:08:09 is it's two hours of gibberish followed by a helicopter leaving the stage oh okay there's a helicopter this is a helicopter lands on the stage it's pretty cool other than that it's kind of like um what about uh that that one's like the... Oh, I know how we make that one better. What? Miss Saigon is in the world of cars. The world of cars. So, you know, like the Pixar movies?
Starting point is 00:08:34 Yeah, I know. They're all cars. The best part of that musical was the helicopter. Now they're all cars. Yeah, so why not take the best part and just add it to everything? Yep, perfect. So why not take the best part and just add it to everything? Yep. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:08:49 What about Wicked? In Wicked, let's see. I got it. In Wicked, there are two sisters, but one is given the power of ice and the other sets off to find her in the mountains to bring her sister back. Right. other sets off to find her in the mountains to bring her sister back right and along with a helpful snowman and a guy who may or may not have good intentions yes and a reindeer they go to save her from herself i like it boom where does we're making money now uh how about uh les miserables okay okay all russell crowe all the time i like it that's it and he's he can leave he plays every character yeah he plays every character and in the end we find out he's in an insane asylum and it's all in his head.

I think if you can bring more than enough water for yourself, it would be great.
Starting point is 00:18:53 We'll explore the interconnectedness with all of life as we furrow into the deep, rich magical lands of our being to openly hearted sink into our natural bio rhythm. Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah. Yep. Exactly. So glad you brought this up, buddy. Yeah. Well, I had,
Starting point is 00:19:13 I got the card and I was like, Hey, I got the card and you were like, save it for a podcast. You probably don't even remember. Cause you were like in a fever dream. I was in a fever dream that day. Yeah.

This is true. Uh, let's see. Family flees new house over creepy letters from The Watcher. Uh, yes, please! That's the one!
Starting point is 00:24:16 That is the one. Man, we hit the good ones now. There was also a naked couple arrested in booze-fueled joyride, and man who allegedly licked toad arrested for trespassing. That's because he was high on toad juice. He looks very high as well. All right, we need to learn about the Watcher.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Let's learn about the Watcher. It sounds terrifying, like a plot ripped straight out of a horror film, but for one family and their three young kids, the anonymous man who referred to himself as The Watcher and sent terrifying letters about the new house they moved into is decidedly real. A Westfield, New Jersey family has filed suit against the previous owners of the six-bedroom home they purchased for
Starting point is 00:24:57 $1.3 million, arguing in a court filing earlier this month that they knowingly and willfully failed to disclose the home's history. Namely, that it was the focus of the Watcher. Who's the Watcher? An individual with a mentally
Starting point is 00:25:13 disturbed fixation and claim to possession and or ownership of the home. Wait, so they don't think it's the former residents. They think it's some other dude. It's like the Phantom! It's full circle! Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Oh, my God. The first of the letters arrived on June 5th of 2014, less than a week after the family moved into the house, according to the Courthouse News. The letter informed the buyers their house has been subject wait has been the subject of my family for decades and that the writer had been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming what why are you here i will find out the letter read i asked the previous owners to bring me young blood once i know know their names, I will call to them and draw them
Starting point is 00:26:06 to sick me. To sick him? You mean seek? S-I-C. Okay. Wait, and then it's additional letters sent in the following months grew more threatening. I am pleased to
Starting point is 00:26:22 know your names now, and the name of the young blood you have brought to me. One allegedly said, Who has the bedrooms facing the street? I'll know as soon as you move in. It will help me to know who is in which bedroom. Then I can plan better. One letter asked, Have they found out what's in the walls yet? What?
Starting point is 00:26:42 When the alleged stalker's identity couldn't immediately be resolved by police, the family vacated the property and sued the prior owners. Our police department conducted an exhaustive investigation based on the factual circumstances and evidence available. Westfield Mayor Andy Skibdubski
Starting point is 00:26:59 told CBS2 at a town hall meeting on Tuesday the station said no charges had been filed in the case. They had a town hall meeting about the Watcher? Yeah. The couple attempted to sell the house multiple times, NewJersey.com reported, but the would-be buyers all backed out after learning of
Starting point is 00:27:15 the letters. The letters from the Watcher. The letters. Like, there's so many questions. Yeah, so wait, what happened? That's it. That's, whoa. Whoa, to the internet. To the so wait, what happened? That's it. That's, whoa, whoa, to the internet. To the internet. Now we gotta go to the internet.
Starting point is 00:27:34 The Watcher, New Jersey. This one says, the prosecutor's office advises anybody receiving disturbing letters to quickly call police. Yeah, they don't know who it is. Oh, shit. What? There's an article that says, What former FBI profilers, criminologists, are saying about the Westfield Watcher. Oh, shit. A watcher.
Starting point is 00:27:55 This very well could be someone who's in... Uh-oh, uh-oh. Ads are popping up. Hold on. This very well could be someone who's enjoying the impact they're having by terrifying strangers, This very well could be someone who's enjoying the impact they're having by terrifying strangers, said James Allen Fox, intern dean at the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Northeastern University in Boston. It makes them feel powerful. They get a thrill from it.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I mean, no shit. Yeah. If you're looking to terrorize people, why stick with one house? It makes you worry this person is mentally unstable and surely believes there's something about this house and in the walls and so forth. That sounds delusional. Or
Starting point is 00:28:31 No shit. Ghost. Yeah, or it is the Watcher and there's shit in the house. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Wait, what? What?
Starting point is 00:28:39 My grandfather watched the house in the 1920s. My father watched the house in the 1960s. It is now my time. I have been put in charge of watching My father watched the house in the 1920s. My father watched the house in the 1960s. It is now my time. I have been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming. What second coming?
Starting point is 00:28:53 The houses? Yeah. You don't want to make the house unhappy. Do you need to fill the house with young blood I requested? I asked the previous owners to bring me young blood. What? Why don't they just set up a camera by where the letters are going? Or is it like in the mail?
Starting point is 00:29:12 Like are they just mailing the letter? This guy has issues, Navarro said. No shit. Like are they just saying, it sounds like a crazy person. This guy sounds wacko. Ten creepy quotes from The Watcher. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Mm. All the windows and the doors in the house. Allow me to watch you and track you as you move through the house. It's not really creepy. I mean, that's sort of just a description of what he does. Yeah. Who has the rooms? You said this one already.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Yeah. Will the young bloods play in the basement? Uh, what? I'm pleased to know your names. You already said that one. What? Have they found what's in the walls yet? And now an ad's playing. Oh my god, I hate
Starting point is 00:29:57 websites. Oh my god, ads. I am in charge of the house. Ask the last owners to bring me blood. Really, these are quotes we've seen before. Yeah. Why are you here? I will find out. Really, nothing new.
Starting point is 00:30:11 He really only says the same things over and over again. Yeah. Well, that's fine. There's some theories on what it could be. Ooh. Yeah, what are the theories? They said, I live in a neighboring town. What are the theories?
Starting point is 00:30:24 They said, I live in a neighboring town. I've heard that the buyers want their money back and to maintain ownership of the home. If these letters have been happening for a while, there's no doubt in my mind that it would have been made public way before this. To me, this screams scam. This person says, ghosts don't write threatening letters. People that don't want the house occupied do. This person says, Someone wanting to buy the house for a lot less money scares the homeowners into selling cheap, then laugh all the way to the bank.
Starting point is 00:30:51 I mean, that makes sense. It does make sense. I prefer to think it's the Watcher. Yeah, I like to think it's the Watcher. And he's watching the house for its second coming. What does that even mean? All right, we've got to figure that out. What does that mean? I don't know. The second coming. What does that even mean? All right, we got to figure that out. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:31:06 I don't know. The second coming of a house? What happened in his first coming? I mean, I don't know. All right. So let's say his grandfather watched the house, right? So that had to be the first coming. The Watcher?
Starting point is 00:31:21 No, it happened before his grandfather. Oh, yeah. And then he was like, all right, I got gotta watch the house because of this thing that happened. There was a movie in 2000 called The Watcher. What was it about? Um, it was about... David Alan Griffin is a cool killer. Time and time again, he chooses a female victim,
Starting point is 00:31:39 studies her for weeks till he knows her routine to the smallest details, makes meticulous preparations, using his forensic knowledge, to gain entry when she's quite alone. I mean, I guess that's it. Oh. Retired FBI special agent James Spader goes after who?
Starting point is 00:31:57 Who else is in this movie? Ernie Hudson, Marissa Tomei, and Keanu Reeves. Sounds like a great movie. Sounds amazing. Amazing movie. Sounds really good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Oh, my God. What if he's living in the house? Watching from the inside? Yeah. In the walls. That's what he says. He's in the walls. Oh, my God.

Starting point is 00:32:40 But if there is something in there Holy shit That'd be awesome That's what I'm saying. You gas the house, right? You fumigate it. You leave for a few days. You come back, and then you look in, and you take part of the walls. You just find, like,
Starting point is 00:32:53 a little dead, like, midget guy in the walls. Why does the watch have to be a midget? That's mean. How's he gonna live in the walls? Maybe he's really thin. Hmm. That's true. He could just be a very, very thin man. Or woman, no judgments.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Yeah. Oh, man, that'd be great. We need to do some research. We need to do some research on the Watcher, and we'll come back next episode.
