Hello, we have an amazing announcement if I can call it that Matt and Jess, what do you say?

I think amazing is probably an okay word. I'm so excited. Or should I say, are you K word? What is she talking about, Dave? How about we're about to announce the new branch of candles? Where was it? I want... Isn't that what the big accident is?

You can't candles. Do you want candles? What smells like Matt? What smells like Jizz? You want to smell like Farts? It's a best seller. Essence of Dave. It's Fart in the can. It's not even a candle. It's a best seller, essence of Dave. It's farting the can.

It's only the candle, it's the can. Stop. No, no, no, we are here to tell you, probably honestly the most exciting thing that I've ever announced. Wow, sad. And he wants to announce the death of his friends, Danny Pikken.

A little bit of Shush Play. Ding ding ding. I'm such an attention-saker. Don't worry, I'll tell the kids. Jubble is dead. Jubble. We named out Jubble's... Outer the Nazi?

That's Jubble's. Not that I know anything about that. No, we are here to tell you that Dugaan, Matt, Jess and myself are coming to the United Kingdom! Yes! In November of this year 2018, we are coming to do a short tour of live Dugoan podcasts across Scotland, well one show in Scotland, and a few across England. Yeah, baby! We are very excited, but also very, very nervous.

Yes. A lot of people have told us they'll come to our shows if we go there. If you are lying, we'll be very sad and very poor. So poor. So poor that this podcast may have to end. What? It's all on you. I don't realise that much.

So the only other thing we've got is this candle business. So if you don't buy tickets and come to see us, we're done zoos. Wow. It is all riding on you in England. And we won't be friends with each other. Oh, God knows. There is so much on the line. Yeah, did you not realise what we bought the flights?

If we don't sell it every show, I'll chop off my left foot. Dame, I don't think I care quite so much for that. You mean the movie? Yeah, you don't know that little film. You won't let it finish. No. I'm halfway through it. I don't want to know how this ends.

No we are coming to the UK for two weeks we'll be there in total and we are doing six or seven shows and these are the places that we are coming to. We're starting. I can't wait to find out if it's six or seven. It's exciting. I couldn't remember. Let's find out together. Let's count now. We are coming to Edinburgh. That's one. First stop. Thursday, November 8th. Then Saturday, November 10th, we are in Leeds. That's two. We're Harry Kule used to play soccer, football, as the English say. That'll be us. You've got to start changing our dialects. That'll be us soon. Sunday November of the 11th, Manchester, we will be there. Remember, remember Manchester on November 11th. I mean, these are all

no members. They could do that. Or Wednesday November 14th, we are in Bristol. This is four so far. I like Bristol, the big hot air balloons and that bridge that looks cool. I haven't been there, but Jess, you and I will experience all that together. Then Friday, November 16th, Birmingham. That's five, baby. Judas Priest, country.

Wow. You know a lot. We're really running out of facts here. Got that phrase. And finally, we were wrapping up the tour with one of my favorite cities in the whole world for a big show. Well, not that big. So please do come and pack it out.

Sunday, November 18th, we're going to be in London. London! Woo! Don't know any facts about London. I can't think of any landmarks or anything there unfortunately. Well, we'll discover it all together. So we will be in Edinburgh Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and London. Now, we haven't booked massive venues because we are, you know,

being a bit cautious, don't know how many people are going to come. So if you do want to make sure you can get a ticket, tickets are on sale now on dogoonpod.com. Shall we go there? Fuck, I'm so fucking excited. You can get a ticket. Our tickets are on sale now on do go on pod dot com. Should you go there? Fuck I'm so fucking excited. Seriously, I'm not joking. If you don't pack out these shows, I am leaving.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, let's look at their positives. Well, I mean, either way we get to go to England and Scotland. Sold out shows. Do you know where the name Stuart comes from? Scotland Scotland Broding Scotland. We're gonna really have to work on our Our translations to English and Scottish words aren't we but anyway? Oh, I So anyway, I've been watching a lot of Poirot lately and the sidekick,

that's too much for me. Captain Hastings. Captain Hastings, he goes, this is my, you ready? My two word, Captain Hastings impression. You ready? Yep. Tell me what you think. I say.

Oh, very. His other one is good Lord. Amazing phrase. I say. The episode of Watchless Night, there was a woman who was wearing a veil and they're talking about Paro and Hastings are talking about her. And then she takes off her veil and I guess, and she's like a woman. And we could, looks very similar to what we could see through the veil.

But Hastings like, good Lord. Like it was taken aback by her beauty. Oh. I even didn't say good Lord. Whatever, you know, it was memorable. I said it. Worth bringing up. And obviously it wasn't all that memorable.

No. Anyway, sold out shows. Please do come a lot. So it's a mini tour and if it goes really, really well, then we'll come back another time and do more shows. And if it goes really, really badly, we are done. And that's on England. Couple of English friends have told us that English people

and people in the UK in general don't like to travel. So please do travel. If we're within an hour of your town, please, please come along. The podcast is coming home. We're traveling 24 hours. Exactly. You can go on a road trip. It'll be fun. You're really going with a real treat of main, Kibham Keen. I'm enjoying it. Exactly. You can go on a road trip, it'll be fun.

You're really going with a real treat of mean, Kim and Keen. I'm enjoying it. This is fun for me. I can't wait. We are very, very excited. I've had a few great fun trips over there. I can't wait to get back. I can wait.

You must incentivize me. We're also getting super close to our US to a goal. Yeah, now you might be wondering why we're going to the UK first, because it's a little bit smaller. It's easy to do. So we thought we'd get this out of the way under our belts, but of traveling to an experience. And that way, it'll probably be easier for us to get a US visa, which are notoriously

difficult to get for artists. So it's a cutie called us artists. That's very nice. Hey, do you know who did the first big overseas tour to the UK? Who? Jimmy Hendrix. Huh? That could be us.

He was bigger there before he was big in America. Hmm. I think that's true. It is now. Nailed it. Anyway, I wish you'd do the show. Anyway, I'm with the show. Please visit dogoonpod.com.

Okay, well the way the show goes is there's three of us here. We're all people, you know, essentially. We're all people of people. Yeah, and we rotate between the three of us one after the other, you know, classic rotation formation. When it's your turn, it's your turn to go, you put your head over the ball and you buddy take one for the team or whatever they say, right?

And you do a report about a topic this week. It's your topic. Yep. You're gonna tell me in Dave that a report about a topic and you will then Make everyone happy and knowledgeable and In the process will all become even more than people will become really good people in the process will become even more than people will become really good people. Wow. The way we get onto the topic,

the Dave and I don't know what it is. You ask us a question, what is your question this week, Jess, what perkins? In classic Jessbot Perkins fashion, I have not written one. But I wanna ask you a question that is quite, it's not so much about the topic, but it will help you get the topic.

But it's about me. So. You're pointing it Matt, so I'm doing mine, I'm pointing it myself when I said me. No, sorry, but I thought you meant, is this question maybe Matt knows? No, it's both of you. Both of you. So every time. You better not answer Dave.

Every time. And seven. Every time we do a report on some kind of weird behavior or like Jeff the talking Mongus which was a Patreon episode we had. That was fun. I usually come up with one solution. Gas, gas leak. Boom. I was gonna say mole people. Yeah that's the other one. More people dug through a gas pipe. But no, more people is who I blame for things. Oh, okay.

Weird things that nobody can really explain. I say, gas leak. Okay. Do you know how that somehow related to a town called Matoon? Is this that big Indian explosion? No. Is this that big Indian explosion? No. Is that that little Indian explosion? No, I don't know what's Matoon, what is it?

Well, you may or may not have heard of the mad gasser of Matoon. No, never heard of it. Fantastic. This was suggested by three people. Victor Gimino Demanuel. Oh my god. Oh very good name. Thank I just needed to think about that. Wow. Yeah it's great. Also suggested by P to C Kinsla. Oh that's great too. And Avery Jemisin. Holy shit. All very good names. We've got one listener just bashing random name generator

and then submitting ideas. I'm okay with that, because they're all bloody rippers. Oh, that would be so cool. I don't say a real. Yeah. I wrote three amazing names. I paid a C, I'm like,

yeah, I was a bit dubious. And then you said, Quim Quimmer, and I'm like, holy shit. That really took off. See, that's a space. This is why I'm impressed, because it's really hard to come up with a fake name.

It's Matt just demonstrated this. No, what do you mean? What's he to see, sir? Keinsler. Keinsler, not that far off. Jeremy Quim Quimmer. He'd say Jeremy. No, I was grading a new character.

Pleased to meet you. Jeremy Quim Quimmer. Okay, Jeremy, what are you up to? Sorry, Jeremy, how do you spell Quim Quimmer? Quim and then Quimmer on the end. Oh, Quimmer. to? Quama? Sorry, Jeremy, how do you spell Quim Quama? Uh, Quim and then, uh, Quama on the end. Ah, Quim Quama. Oh, you pronounce the comma. Yeah, of course. Of course.

You're a stuch. Oh, sorry. Millennials, am I right? I'm 70. Get a job. I'm 70. You're not 70. Dave, we could see you in this scenario.

I'm Jeremy Quim Quama. All right. You just got to keep saying scenario. I'm Jeremy Quim Quimmer. All right. You just gotta keep saying that. I'm Jeremy Quimmer. Oh, okay. We broke him. Tell me about Matoon. So the legendary mad gasser of Matoon.

So the Matoon is a place. It is a town. If you let me finish a sentence, it will make sense. Quim Quimmer. Sorry. Was a bizarre figure who wreaked havoc in a small Illinois town called Matoon? Oh, right. So it's in Illinois.

Illinois is so close to Gary. Is it? Yeah. Gary's so close to that. We continue to receive tweets saying, don't go to Gary. It's very dangerous. I told a friend at work that we have a fascination with Gary. And he was like He looks like he'd seen a ghost he went you can't go there. We're doing a lot of show Gary

Really quite dangerous apparently. I'm gonna go see the railcats play live I've been in contact with someone at the railcats. I'm gonna get some merch sent over What do you say do you say the podcast? Oh? No, I just just, like, because they don't mail out here, so I have to email them and they're, we're gonna figure it out how to get it out here. Oh my gosh.

Love them railcats. Got the cats. I reckon you'd have better things to spend your money on. Good luck. Ha ha ha. Anyway, this was in 1944. Yeah, it was 1944. The last song, The Fit Troid, Blinds, One of Premiership.

I can see why you picked it though, Jess. 1944? Yeah. Well, this was voted on by the Patreons. They chose very wisely. What I did this week was I put up some of my second chances. So for my last few, perhaps six or more votes, all the ones that came second. What do I think you did?

You gave me that idea for that. I like how that idea from Matt. Oh nice. Alright, Matt, good job. It's got a full loop. So and this is what they voted on. Probably because of the name mad gasser. I don't think any of them Googled it. It's kind of like yes that one.

Surprise. I don't think it came second the first time. It's such a great title. Yeah, I was surprised. I keep, I yeah, I think given oven. Is it is an oven related? Oh, I can't wait to find out if it's cooking related. Well, what makes it? Baking. It's about scones. Yum. Scones. Yeah but you put cream on first. Yes. I do it the Devon way. I don't like it. So let's not start this again please. I hate it when we fight. Can we get scones? Yes. Thank you. No I actually say no because they'll be a big fight. They won't be a big fight. You can have them however you want to. You do Cornish style do Devon do you devon style, no worries.

Something like the Cornish. Yeah. Why do you know that? Who doesn't know that? Yeah, yeah, sorry. Sorry. Who do you think you're dealing with here? Yeah, sorry. You're gonna seers. Fuck it. I'm proud of that. That's good. That's good. Nothing, it's good. Thank you so much. So this was occurring in a small town called Matoon, Illinois in 1944.

But making matters even more interesting was a series of nearly- More interesting than it occurring in a town. Go fuck yourself. Was a series of nearly identical attacks that took place in Virginia in 1933 to 1944. So 10 years earlier. Okay, no, the university. So this is an excerpt from a website I found. Also, I want to put this right now that this particular report is heavily based on two sources

because there aren't a lot out there or a lot of like blogs from people now talking about it, not a lot of like first-hand information or... And they all reference back to those two sources. Pretty much. Yeah, I found that with topics in the past. They're the ones where you go, geez, a lot of this may not be true.

Yeah, so we'll see, but I just want to put out there now. So I can avoid the tweets. Yes, this is largely Wikipedia, because it was surprisingly the most comprehensive. Often Wikipedia can be really good. Really great. So, but this is from another website that I use, which is called prairie ghosts.com. I trust it. I trust it.

Forward slash gasser. Little ghosts on the prairie. Does that mean anything? So this is a quite from that website. I don't guess. So is that a gas leak in there? We're never gonna get through this. That's real niche stuff. I'm so sorry. So, is there a gas leak in the middle? We're never gonna get through this.

That's real niche stuff. This is from that website. I realized there were, there were longer little girls, still and now, little ghosts on the floor. Sorry, yes, do go on. So, is his social scientist declared that the attacks in Motoon had been nothing more

than mass hysteria. But now, but how could the Illinois residents have known anything about the events in Virginia, which were bizarrely, which were fuck, which were barely publicized in order to duplicate them so closely? So people like they're saying that what happened in Matoon was just mass hysteria, but they're identical to what happened 11 years before. So they're like, how could they have known?

It's two coincidental, they're exactly the same. The story of Illinois's mad gasser begins not in Matoon in 1944, but rather in Virginia in 1933. There's no proof to say that the work in the two cases was completed by a single attacker, but the events were so similar that it would be ridiculous of us, not to admit that the coincidence of it being two attackers is extreme. I will not admit it. Tell you more. That is ridiculous So I wanted to go back firstly to the original attacks in Virginia in 1933 so at around 10 p.m. on the 22nd of December 1933

Mrs. Huffman stated that she grew nauseated after smelling a strange gas that had been apparently sprayed into her house She decided to go to bed, but her husband remained awake and alert to see if the lurker who had sprayed the gas might return. Okay, skunk. Let's go through the letterbox. This is an early theory, I love it.

Skunk people. Skunk people. Yeah, this is something that seems a bit suspicious, and I'm worried about it. Anyway, after bed. Yeah, weird, right? I sleep it off. I feel rather sick and can smell a gas.

No, no! Husband, you wait and watch. I'm going to get my beauty sleep. Half an hour later, another wave of gas filled the room and her husband went to the home of their land lord, just so like I don't know, get some help. He also telephoned the police there. Officer Lemon of the local police. Sounds like a real dud.

Was dispatched to the scene and he stayed until around midnight. Immediately after he left, another gas attack was launched on the property, filling both floors of the two story house. So, are you imagining, like a, a misty gas or like a smoky gas? What are you thinking? I'm not imagining Dave, I'm just reporting on facts. This isn't just a game of make believe, mate, okay?

This isn't your grandmother's fairy tale story, Dave. Now, what are you thinking? What are you picturing then? I'm imagining. I, or just when you say filled, because at first I thought it was like, you know, if say someone spread a deodorant candle through your front door. Yeah. But if it's filling the floor to ceiling, it's obviously a lot thicker.

But I don't, well, there aren't any... Custard gas. Yeah. There aren't reports. That's nothing that much thicker than that many... Custard gas. Yeah. There aren't reports. That's nothing that much thicker than that. Is it custard? Yeah.

Sick. Um. The wishes gas. This gas is very liquidy. I don't know if it's all that visible or if it's just that they can smell it or because it, there isn't really much information where any of them have said like they saw it or maybe they sometimes I can hear it or they're smelling a gassy kind of smell which I'll go into in more detail. But I don't know if it's visible.

So good point, why how they know it's filling both holes without them because they can smell it upstairs too. Like a particularly bad fart. Oh he who smelled it Delta. Yes. So I reckon it's. Oh, he who smelt it dealt it. Yes. So I reckon it's the guy, the dad, husband. Yep, straight away, dad. Dad's always fart. When he went to the landlord,

you reckon he left his wife upstairs asleep? Yeah, so don't worry about it. Bob, you be right. Bob wakes up, what? He's slamming the door. Not. No, Bob. Bob, you'd be right. No, Bob. According to reports, the gas caused the victims to become very nauseated, gave them a headache and caused the mouth and throat muscles to restrict.

Alice, the half-man's 19-year-old daughter, was most affected by the gas. She had to be given artificial respiration in order to revive her. And she was said to have had experienced convulsions for some time afterwards as well. However, no one could determine what kind of gas was used. There was a doctor who assisted the police. Doctor who? No, his name is Dr. Breckenridge. Who? I made up Dr. Okay, just say you make him up just as fine. Is the Dr. Breckenridge MD? Okay.

Oh, medical doctor. Right, they didn't get a Dr. Philosophy out. Is that what MD is? No, Dave. It means molecular deconstruction. What is it? I didn't realize I was dealing with a peanut brain over here. No, Dave, it means molecular deconstruction. I didn't realize I was dealing with a peanut brain over here. Yeah, PB over here. Yeah, probably PB.

Believe a macular degeneration? Oh my god. Dave, you can't get out of this with gibberish, mate. All right. Um, he was a, so Dr. Breckenridge, so he has the same, so it's obviously written down and real. He was assisting the police with their investigation. You breaking the ridge?

He ruled out. What was that, man? Was that spreck-and-z-doj? Is that what you, yeah. Well, come quick time out for me. Yeah. Have a little, time out for me. Yeah. Have a little, have a little shush. Dr. Brickenridge, a heaverald out, aether chloroform and tear gas.

He's like, none of those. And so they're not sure what type of gases used or who could have sprayed it into the house. So because no one was crying? No one was crying. He's like tear gas, it's out. Can't be tear gas. No one was laughing. Not a name. Wasn't happy gas. No one's dying. It's not dead gas. Death gas. It's stuck again. Before recording we were pretending to be like advertising

executives, it was curfew product. I think Deathcast will be pretty good. Deathcast. No bad ideas, no bad ideas. Keep them going. All right. The only clue that Officer Lemon found at the scene was a print of a woman's shoe beneath the window. The window that they thought the attack was.

Like a photo of Almond shoe. Yes, a print. When you want a timeout? Yeah. And was it inside or outside the house? Outside. Oh, outside the house. So it's been stepping in the roses again.

Good now my roses. The next attack happened not long after in a town of Cloverdale. Clarence Hall, his wife and two children, came home from a church service around nine o'clock on Christmas Eve. Five minutes after they entered the house, they smelled a strange odor. Hall went into one of the back rooms of the house to investigate and came back a moment's later, staggering and swaying. His wife who also felt nauseated and weak had to drag him outside.

The effects of the gas did not linger with them, as in like they were recovered and were able to sort of move again normally and didn't feel as nauseated. But Mrs. Hall experienced eye irritation for the next couple of days, like her eyes were just watering it, itching irisacraceous. How irisacraceous? Yeah. Dr. Breckenridge, again, helped the police, and he noted that the gas tasted sweet,

and that he detected a trace of famell to hide in it. He still had no idea what the gas was, though, and investigators again found only one clue at the scene, apparently a nail had been pulled from one of the windows, perhaps to make it easier to spray gas inside? Maybe. Yeah, maybe. Probably. Why else would you pull a nail out of a window? It seems like a weird thing to do. Why is there a nail in your window? Shouldn't it be glass? Nails don't go in glass. What are you doing? Welcome to construction chat with Jess.

I was like, you go there. Hi, I'm Jess Perkins. Welcome to construction chat. This week we're talking windows. Nails and windows, well there are no no. That's my spin-off podcast. It's gonna be pretty good. Anyway, um, thanks for letting me go there. Another attacker cared on December 27 when A.L. Kelly a welder from Travill. That is so good. Can we go there as well? Trappville, fuck yeah. Yes. So, A. L. Kelly and his mother in Trappville were just at home.

It's this was sprayed in their home. That does make it sound like scunk people. Oddly, the police learned that a man and a woman in a 1933 Chevrolet had been seen driving back and forth in front of Kelly's house around the time of the attack. A neighbor managed to get a partial plate number on the car, but the police were unable to locate it. I call them doing traitors. Traitors, yeah. People often all just cruise up and down. So a trap wheel? Yeah, we don't trap laps. Trapped routes. Trapped routes. Yeah, that's like the locals come to out routes. Yeah, sick. But yeah, I call them traities. Yeah, it's actually Australian vernacular.

We're kooky. Do you guys have, do you have any vision of that? It was chat laps. Chat laps. Is that a thing? Is that a thing when you guys grew up? Yes. It was the bottom of many at church. Yeah. Do a chat laps. Have you ever been to chaplaps? Is that a thing? Is that a thing when you guys grew up? It was the butt of many at chaplaps. If you ever went down chaplaps, there would totally people go on up and down. So if anyone else, it's people driving up and down. Chaplastreet.

So if you did chaplap with music blaring. Windows down, music blaring. Usually in like a car you thought was impressive, but it really wasn't. Nissan's is American school I'm so Drive Mazda right and We just had to get one because the other car got ripped anyway. It doesn't matter

But I look I have to look up a video how do you get the Bluetooth working and the guy says Mazda like 17 times in the first 30 seconds, but in America. They don't say Mazda. They say Mazda Maz say Mazda Mazda Mazda Well something like that I was crying Also, every third of what's word he was saying Mazda Oh man, it was one of the best things that's happened to me. Yeah, but did you get the Bluetooth working? Yes, sir. What kind of Bluetooth was it?

Mazda. Oh, of course. So you've got a car now with Bluetooth, so I can only assume it's a fancy car than the last car. Now the last car, I mean, it's a shitty Bluetooth. My car does not have Bluetooth. It doesn't have a cable hanging down from the Fantasy and there's fancy alright great point Anyway congrats on the new car the master. Yeah congrats on the monster

We're all showing off about what we are yeah, I don't tell you tar That is not gonna say what he That is not going to say what he goes. So... Alright, I'm going to come up to it. One of the weirdest things that happened through this podcast is someone can't remember your name, if you're still listening to the show, I assume I was from the podcast, tweeted me about four times saying, can you confirm you drop a Volkswagen? And then do you drop a Volkswagen?

Confirm you drive a Volkswagen, like the authoretning me, it was so weird. And I cannot confirm nor deny that I drive a vlog like the author retting me it was so weird and I can not confirm nor deny that I drive a box wagon. And you've joined us with Jess Matten Dave on car chat. Chat and cows. We know so much about them. We know so much about them. I mean, I watch a YouTube video about what we do.

I get cows. I don't know where to put water for the windscreen wipers. Only for that. I had to put oil in the car and I'd watch a YouTube video in the petrol station. In the car. But I was never so lonely, basically, I had to come out and be like, are you okay?

Yeah, just watch the video. Just watch us a pond. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You don't know anything about cars. It's like I have think you're a perfect. I need some lubricant, not for the car. Ha ha ha ha!

Give me all the lube you got. Oh, sorry. You're still about to galon, right? Do you have any of those? Two drums. I think two drums of the lubricant. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Just to be clear, we're talking sex loop.

For my car. Yeah, some fucking my car. All right. Okay, is that what you wanted to hear? Yeah, happy now. No, sir. No, no, please, please. Please, please.

Get out of my shop thing. This is Target. It was Target all along. out of my shop thing. This is Target. It was Target all along. In America they call it Tarjay. Do they really? No. Anyway, okay, so there's been another attack and they've seen a car,

which Tarjay and Nicely took out the podcast car chat, but another time. I've seen it in 1933 Chevy. Chevy. Which is actually the car I drive I can confirm that a 1933 Chevy well looked after I don't think that's I've changed a lot I've been in the car and it feels a lot like a Volkswagen Volkswagen that was a fun way to say in it

More like false vague and am I right? I'm like a false vague in a morrow. Over the next month or so, there were numerous attacks made around the town. However, during the following week, after these months, there were 20 attacks. Yeah, I know, that's what that said, this is what it makes sense. So there's some attacks, but then within a period of one week, there were 20 attacks reported in near by Rowanoke County and a number of other reports in Lexington about 30 miles away. You're getting excited about Rowanoke?

Yeah. So 20 attacks were reported. Yeah, in places far away. Well, this is out of control. And while a few of the later attacks may far away. Well, this is out of control. And while a few of the later attacks may have been genuine, they lacked the detail of the original incidents and most were likely,

hysterical reactions to ordinary odors or the result of hoaxes. There was lots of people that like capitalizing on it. I was imagining someone doing a bad fart and then being like, no, wasn't it? Oh, we got gas. Oh, I'm being gas. I feel sick, can't breathe. And it's, no, you smelled gas. I'm being gas. I feel sick, I can't breathe.

And you smelled it first, so was it? Oh, call the beckondale doctor. Beckondale. What's his name? If you're gonna make up a doctor. It's Brecken the Doichen Doctor. It's Brecken the Doichen Doctor. His name is Breckenridge.

Breckenridge. So there was a few instances, like I was saying, of hoaxes or pranks. You got punked. Oh, fart bomb. Classic. We'll never forget the days of high school. So I'm running into the locker bay with a fart bomb. Throw us a down.

It goes off. Everyone's running and screaming. Yeah. Hilarity ensued. So good. What a prank. Well, in one of these hoaxes, a teenager through a bottle of insecticide into a woman's window.

Okay. I mean, they've taken the fart bump prank a little further than we do. Not through the window though, into it. Into the window. It bounced back, hit him in the head, broke the nose. Very funny. The cops were videoing it. The cops decided it'd be already been punished enough. Yeah, the cops could not stop laughing, to

be honest. Also, that boy was a big beetle. So he did not appreciate getting hit in the head by the insecticide. Yeah, beetles and sex. I mean, it'd probably still kill them. Yeah. Yeah, get there. What is wrong with us today? So we did it. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. Sorry, so why did someone throw an insecticide through a window? I said pranking. That is a lit prank.

No, because everybody's going, oh, there's all these gas attacks. Then they're like, doing fake ones. a lit prank. No, because everybody's going, oh, there's all these gas attacks. Then they're like, it's like, let me throw some bug stuff to the window. I mean, who can explain them out of a teenager, really? There was, because there was all of these kind of hoax attacks. The police and the newspaper sort of declared that the gas and mystery was over. They're like, none of these have been real attacks. It's just hoaxes now.

We're all OK. But the last insecticide case, because there was a few cases of people pranking each other with insecticides, because it would obviously smell bad, and people would think, oh god, we're being cast It must have been a different time right? Yeah, they're very bored with that TV's Oh, we're still in the 30's one. Yeah, this is a 30's one. That's the prequel. Yeah So there was an incident where a guy called JG Shaffer believed his house was gas.

And this is on the 9th of February, this would be in 1934. He went outside and he scooped up some snow that contained a sweet smelling substance. It was analyzed and was determined to contain sulfur, arsenic, and mineral oil, which was commonly used in insecticides braze. This caused the police to dismiss the attack as a hoax, but was it really? This is again from the apriori ghost, which I love. A lot of questions in it. I love it. I love a cliffhanger. Yeah. And arsenic is a very bad for you. Yeah. Well, it's not in the arsenic. What do you mean? Well, strangely, investigators found footprints leading from the front porch of the house to the barn,

but no trail that led away from the barn. So it's almost as if whoever had been on the porch had then walked the barn and vanished. They couldn't find any other trails anywhere. And also, as with some of the other earlier cases, a woman's tracks led from the yard out to the road. Oh, remember there was the woman's footprint underneath that first window.

Exactly. Wow. So you think it's the same person? Same footprint. What are the odds of they being two women in this town? No, that can't be. Or two pairs of women's shoes existing. I mean, it's 1933, I don't think so.

Yeah, had women been invented? Do they have that technology? Good. They had one pair of shoes and they took turns wearing the shoes. Oh, my day for shoes. They didn't have birthdays. Like we do now where it's kind of like all about you. They had shoe day.

Right. Do you get one of the pair or both? It's shoe day, Dave. Not shoes day. I mean there was only one footprint found wasn't there? Yeah. They were hopping. They used to hop back then and they had an inventive walking.

Yeah. Walking came around in the 1950s. Yeah. And all boy did they nail it. Ah, it took the world by storm. Yeah. I've had a bit. People were walking everywhere down the shops down the beach, up the hill, down the hill.

Ah, stairs. So much easier now. It sounds like a great time to be alive. Yeah, they're really walking. Now we just bloody take walking for granted, mate. We do, but I mean every year on National Walking Day, International Walking Day should be, but anyways, and that's a story for another day. We all have different ones at all last nations. But yeah, that's why we remember Greggy Donaldson and that day he turned a hop into a walk and would never look back as a species. Yep, so the late, there was a few cases that came long after this as well. But the general public sort of began to, they were told and sort of started to believe that of this theory that faulty chimney fuels and wild imaginations had caused the whole thing.

So people call up there like, I suggest you a wild imagination. All right, I like to be on. Carry on just some chimney fumes. I'll go back to bed with these fumes swinging around my head. 99, I can't feel my legs. What are chimney fumes? Just smoke, isn't it like burning coal? Well, I think it was like of factories nearby that did have chemicals.

Oh, right. Even though those factories then like had passed all these safety tests and said, well, have only got this amount of bad chemicals and they're all contained safely. So no, yeah. But anyway, it was enough that people kind of the hysteria and the panic calmed down. But the police and the victims, the people who were attacked, they didn't accept that explanation. They're like, no, I don't think that's it. But the attacks did stop.

And it was almost as if the strange figure left Virginia and vanished without a trace, never to return again. And while perhaps the gasser did not return, could he have possibly surfaced in Illinois 11 years later? I mean, it takes a long time to hop from Virginia to Chicago. That is a big journey. It's an 11 year hop. You put the integral maps, it'll tell you 11 years. To the dad.

You can select hopping. Hopping, of course. Yeah. Even now, it's one of those retro modes. Yeah, yeah. Which I love. It's kitsch now to hop. Yeah.

But, they're gramophones it's kitsch now to hop. Yeah, but We did gramma fans and hop and and hop and Records and hopping and coming back baby. Yeah big time Hips the hop.

Okay, so then we move from Virginia to Matoon Illinois. We hop on over, baby. What? I think that's a great name for a town as well, Matoon.

Well, it's MA-Double-T as well, so it's Matoon. Matoon. I love this. It sounds like college for my town. It's Matoon. Matoon. Edinburgh's Matoon. Come sounds Scottish for my town. It's Métoune. Métoune. Edinburgh's Métoune. Come on down to Métoune.

Dean. So are you saying it's a Scottish now? Oh my God. Scotland. Are you sure it's not Mat Oon? Mat Oon. Mat Oon. So the first of the 1944 Gasset incidents occurred at a house on Grant Avenue, Métoune,

on August 31, 1944. Urban Rave. That's a name. So the first name is Urban? Urban. Urban, not real. Urban, Rave. It's not real. Urban? Rave.

It's a great name. Was awakened during the early hours of the morning. Have you ever laughed when someone introduced themselves to you? Hi, I'm Urban Rave. I'd be like, no, you're not? Hi, this is my boyfriend, Urban. Okay. Okay, Keith.

Fuck off. Okay. Fucking hell. I got a Tennessee, yeah, Keith. F*** off, Keith. F*** off, Keith. F***ing hell, I got a Tennessee, ya prick. Keith Urban. Yeah, Keith Urban. I did not get it.

What? I was thinking he just gave you a boring name. Okay mate, let's be honest, your real name's Keith and you're trying to be cool. You're trying to be urban. Urban Rife. He's my friend Johnny R&B, whatever mate. F*** off. Urban Groove, f*** off. Oh, I'm just to be urban. Urban rave. Who's my friend Johnny R&B, whatever man. LAUGHTER

Urban groove. Hi, I'm just hip hop. Yeah, yeah you are. So he was awakened the early hours in the morning by a strange odour. He felt nauseated and weak and suffered from a fit of vomiting. I'm just like I did a few weeks ago on this very show.

Yeah, that's not a good way to vomit either. Not a great fit, no. Suspecting that he was suffering from a domestic gas poisoning, which was very astute of his wife, she tried to check the kitchen stove to see if there was a problem with the pilot light, but found that she was partially paralyzed and I'm able to leave bed as well. I said, they kind of in a happy tone. I didn't mean that. My face was concerned.

You said she went to check the stove. She was like, she wanted to get up to do that. Right. I like it because I, in my head, she was there. Look at that. Suddenly she's in bed. In bed. It really blew my mind.

Yeah. Well, it do go on a mission there would have really tripped me out. Yeah. You would have been a pull back and all of a sudden she's not upright, she's on her back and in bed. And that's not the stove at the pillow. The bed's in the kitchen. She sleeps next to the stove.

That's classic whatever the lady's name is. So weird. As in, with most of these, they are just misses something. Wife of Urban. Yeah, she's misses Ray. Oh, Urban Ray. Maybe one of the best. Rafe. Oh, Urban Rafe. Maybe one of the best.

Not good. I like it. Urban Rafe. It's growing on me. It sounds like a cool, yeah, stage name. No, it doesn't. Sounds like a crime. Urban Rafe. Yeah.

Charged with Urban Rafe. All right. I don't know what that is, but it sounds like you should go to jail for life. Yeah, it sounds like you're a sicker. Bann, bann is a thing that's not allowed. There's a ban. Oh, an urban rafing?

An urban ban. Oh, okay. I'm not sure. I'm going to go on. Trying to figure out what Dave's angle. It just sounds, to me it sounds like a real cool dude. Well, he apparently, I'm sure he is, was. Thank you.

Later that night, or early the next morning, a similar incident was also reported by a young mother living close by. She was awakened by the sound of her daughter coughing, but found herself unable to leave her bed. She's gonna get up to check on her daughter and couldn't get out of bed. No one knew that tired, you're like, do I really need a check on her?

She'll be right. Just a couple more hours. Self-saving. Let her self-saving. Yeah exactly. She needs the work things out for herself. When will they learn if you're always at their back and cold? The kid wasn't crying.

She's just coughing. Coughing out. Coughing out. Which is fine. She's just having a vomiting fit. This is having a cough. Babies have vomiting fits. Okay.

It's normal. We don't have to shame them for it. Okay, you're a new parent. You're gonna be a little bit paranoid that things aren't normal. It's not in all the baby books. It's normal. Babies have vomiting fits. And they cough through the night and sometimes through the baby monitor.

It might sound like they're saying but it's normal your kids are not special no stop thinking they're special they're not special or they're the son of the dark lord yes they all are yeah if they weren't the son of the dark lord then they'd be special yeah yeah but they all are the son of the dark Lord, then they'd be special. Yeah. Yeah. But they all are the son of the dark Lord and we worship the dark Lord. Yes, we all worship the dark Lord. Okay. The Alzer Bob. That's where they shorten to Bob. So just chill. That's what they call Bob. That's what I call Bob. That's good. There's something wrong with us. It makes sense to me.

There's something wrong with us. It makes sense to me. Check something better than a, that's good. I love this. That's good. That's funny. Hi, Ricken. When I was at school, I think E12, there was a girl who was obviously so used to like texting and instant messaging that instead of laughing, she'd just say, lull. Oh, that's no good.

And I wanted to just pin her down and Stringlet her death. Did you want to make her ruffle? Yeah, right. I wanted to make her ruffled. The days for dead. Yeah, roll on the floor dead. Yeah. Oh, wow. All right, dying. Oh, okay, picky over here. Roll on the floor dying. You're next, man. From after all, strangulation. Oh, my God. So the next day was September 1, and a third reported incident occurred. Mrs. Keeney of Marshall Avenue, Matoon, reported smelling a strong sweet odor around 11 p.m. What was she doing up at 11 p.m.? At first she just- It's suspicious, isn't it?

It is bitter. It is bitter. Squirtin' was your choice there? Ooh. What did you just drink? I don't know. Spray? Spraying gas.

Gassing gas? Gassing. Gassing squirt. How can you squirt it? Well, you said- Now you squirt a liquid probably. Yeah. Yeah, okay.

It's a gas. Shooting gas? All right. I'm, my laptop battery will run out before you get to what you want. So can I just go on? Yes, please. Thank you so much.

At first you just, Matt, I want. At first you dismissed the smell, believe you it to be from flowers outside of the window. Okay. Flour all gas. But the odor soon became stronger and she began to lose feeling in her legs. It's still the flowers. Yeah.

She tells us that it's very strong. Yeah, it's the first day of spring. It's really num day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring.

It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first day of spring. It's the first. The police were contacted, but no evidence of a prowl was found. At around 12.30, Bert Kerny, we've got his first name, her Mrs. Kerny's husband. He was a local taxi driver, so he hadn't been there during the time of the attack. Bert Kerny's another great name.

Bert Kerny. Sounds like Bert Nerny. That's why a lot of them. Just quickly, Ernie man, you guys? Big Burt, yeah, yeah. So I thought you'd be a better What is that? I'm letting Oscar the Grouch over here.

Cookie, cookie, love the cookie monster. I always liked the ones that they're from space and they go, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like them. They're like red and blue. I mean, if we're extending out to all of you, I think, uh, but, Batman. And let's not forget one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, I forgot, I forgot how to count. Play back with tape. Dib and did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, and hiding close to one of the house's windows. So he, the guy fled.

That sounds suspicious. The guy fled and Burt chased him for a bit, but was unable to catch him. So we got away. His description of the praela was of a tall man dressed in dark clothing, wearing a tight fitting cap. This description was reported in the local media. The swimming cap?

Is there any like a bald cap? Ha ha ha ha. He had goggles and flippers. I can't believe he outrhand me. He was very speedy. He jumped into a pond. And boom, those slippers are telling you what. Sorry, the local paper.

The local paper, like, the local media reported on this description and it became the common description of the gassath throughout the entire entire incident that weren't really many other sightings so most of like the image of the the gasser comes from Bert Kerny After the attack Mrs. Kerny reported suffering from a burning sensation on her lips and throat. Oh, you don't want it there. No What do you want? Yeah top top five places go. Okay.

Between your toes. Ooh, burning. Yeah. Tenier, central. Okay, where else do I go? Oh, sorry. We talking about good burning or bad burning. What's good burning?

I don't have no idea. Are you having an aspirate? Are you burning up over there? Back burning, obviously. You know when you're getting tips in your hair, you're that burning, because you know fashion burns. Oh, you know fashion burns. Hey, yeah, beauty is fine.

Blonde tips. That's a mighty. We still doing that? Laser hair removal. Laser hair removal. It burns a little bit, worth it. Yeah, yeah, I reckon. Why do you think I've got such a smooth nose? It used to be a real fervol. But now it's so smooth. I don't even

great mat normally anymore. I just stroke his nose. Ooh, soft nose. Yeah, I don't like that imagery at all, actually. Hairy nose. You did that to yourself. I know. Anyway, so they thought this burning sensation she was experiencing was obviously an effect of the gas. Initially, it was suspected this is so great, by the way. It was suspected that Robbery was the primary motive for the attack. At the time of the incidents, the Kerney had a lot, the Kerneys had a large sum of money in the house, and it was surmised that the prala could have seen Mrs.

Cairnianess is to counting it earlier that evening. With the window open. So they're just sitting there window open lights on count the know. Oh, so much money! 28,000. Once we're done with the cash, we'll do the jewels. One diamond. A two. Four thousand and six diamonds that is.

What is wrong with people? Yeah, don't count your money next to a window and yell out the amounts. That's one of the fails. And say, oh, we're very rich. I hope we don't get robbed. I mean, you're honestly. Honestly, it's sad that I have to say that. Thank you.

In the days for you. Do people are at home scribbling down notes? They're like, wow. Just telling it like it is. Do people at home are closing windows? Yeah. And then going back to counting them They're like, wow. Just telling it like it is. Few people at home are closing windows. Yeah. And then going back to counting. Yeah, sure.

But I'm not quite. Say some numbers to throw them off. 72, six, 12, one. One, one, one, one. You're not in people doing what you can. Rubbers won't, they won't steal money unless they know to the dollar how much you have inside. I mean, if I'm a rubber, which I'm not,

that's why you're winking. No, I'm not winking. No, was that a wink? You squelched your face. Squelched? You just can't get words right today. I'm weird, it's tough tonight. I squelched.

That looked like a squelched to me. I felt squelchy. I'm not squelched. I look like a squelched today. Yeah, a felt squelchy. I'm not squelching. I'm not squelching. But you're not a rubber. What we're going to say if you were a rubber. I'm not rubbing for like $12. She's squelching, I guess.

Anyway, I think I'm not getting out of bed unless my kid costs 15 times or I get 15 dollars. Yeah. All right, be out of the pub. I'm not getting up unless you give me the secret code of 16 cups. Oh, of a 666 cups. Yeah. Oh. 665 cups. One more. What's that? That Simpson's the the fish when he's

deep state diving and Grand Pals got the system. What's it? The hamper fish. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Curse of the flying health. Hellfish. That's a very good bit. What the world's? 61 62.. Oh no, I killed my only grandson. 63. Yeah, 62 means you're dead. And 63 means put me back up. There's a little pause between 62 and 64. Very funny stuff.

In the days following the attack on the kurnis, there was about half a dozen similar attacks, though none of the victims were able to provide a clear description of the prowler. No clues were found at the scene of the attacks. That was until the night of September 5, when Carl and Buella, so we got her name at least and her name's Bula. Bula. Cords of North 21st Street, return home around 10pm. They notice a piece of white cloth slightly larger than a man's handkerchief, sitting on their porch next to the screen door. Bula Cords picked up the cloth and smelled it, which is the first thing I would do obviously.

What, mate? What? She just picked up and given it a sniff. That's all. That's the first thing I'd think to do. Give it a smell. Don't smell anything. In this town, block your nose up. Yeah, that's the other thing. I wouldn't do it now and people aren't being gassed in my street.

I'm not picking it up and smelling it. No. You wouldn't do that under any circumstances, but if people have been gassed... No, it's something left. Like, if this is the circumstance where I will pick something up and smell in it. No. You wouldn't do that under any circumstance, but if people have been cast... No, it's something left. Like, if this is the circumstance where I will pick something up and smell it. If I have worn an item of clothing, and I'm seeing if it can be worn again. Yeah, but it's your item of clothing. That's fine. I know who put it there.

Me. Was this bill is slightly larger than a man to handkerchief white piece of cloth? No. Well, it seems like a weird girl. Why, she's smelling it. As soon as she inhaled, she became violently ill. She described the effect as being similar to an electric shock. Her face began to swell, she experienced a burning sensation in her mouth and throat, and she began vomiting. As with other victims, she also reported feeling weak and experienced partial paralysis of her legs.

If you will later hypothesize that the cloth had been left on the porch in order to knock out the family dog, which usually slept there so that the prey could gain access to the house, unnoticed. Yet the dog was too clever to sniff it, but she wasn't. She fell for it. So the dog was the target. The dog was looking at it like you're an idiot.

Why would you smell that? Come on, stiff, that shit. I'm strange to put that there. The cloth was analyzed by the authorities, but they found no chemicals on it that could explain Bueller's reaction. Oh, mystery chemicals. Oh, weird.

Public concern over the alleged gassings quickly rose. The FBI became involved involved and the local police issued a statement calling on residents to avoid lingering in residential areas and warning that groups set up to patrol for the gasser should be disbanded for reasons of public safety. So people were like, we're taking it upon themselves to like patrol and keep the neighbourhood safe, but then the police will like, don't do that. On the red team, drinking without a permit. How many sins and sins are there? Also, I love like, in there, their press release

was like, don't sniff any cloths you find. Yeah, don't smell random. I can't believe we have to say this again. Put the pitchforks down and stop sniffing stuff. Stop sniffing. So there's a fair bit of panic by this stage. And by the 12th of September, local police had received so many false alarms,

mostly from citizens believing that they'd smelled gas or that they'd seen a prowler, that they reduced the priority afforded to gas reports and announced that the entire incident was likely the result of explainable occurrences exacerbated by public fears and a sign of the anxiety felt by women while local men were on war service because this is 1944. So they're saying it's just you ladies wanting some attention probably all synced up.

I don't know if they believe that back then who knows. Took me a while to figure out that meant you synced up. You're all panicking. Just having a little panic. You're all panicking. Just having a little panic. You're all sniffing cloths. Sniffing cloths. You know what?

The men are gone. They're always panicking. It was a long one of Jess's great bits. It's a good bit. It's a real good bit. I'll quote it till the day I die. Me too. I'll never write a joke as good,

so I'll be doing it till the day I die. You need to say that about your spoon's bit, but you know, then you start a panic and... That's true. You've always been my biggest fan. Well, Dave's right up there. Yeah. Fan of me.

Yeah. Oh, a huge fan. Big fan. I tell people you're great all the time. Do you? Yeah. Who have you told on? Greg Norman.

Did you tell Greg Norman I'm great? I... Can you please tweet it Greg Norman and say, I will. I'll tell you. Hey Greg Norman, just want to let you know Jess Perkins is great. I'll do it right now.

Thank you. The other great white shark. Well, she's the great Jess Perkins, sir. Nice. Can I change my name to white shark? Well, she's the great white shark. Shart! I want to be the great white shark.

I don't want to be that. You are. I don't want to be that. Hey, if you want to be. I don't want to be the great white shart. I don't want to be that. Hey, if you want to be. I don't want to be. You can be. I regret it. So after the police announcement, Gasser reports did decline.

The only is incident of arguable note after that date was the case of a woman called Birth a Birch, who claimed she saw a gasser who was a woman dressed as a man. Hmm, which kind of fits in with some of those instances. The shoes and the man. And when she says dressed as a man, I wonder if she was just wearing pants or if she had a mustache. When did pants cross over too? I don't remember. Do you know when it was okay for ladies to wear pants?

We're pants around before people could walk. I felt like I was sort of at pants and walking when hand in hand. I remember PL Travers was a badass for wearing pants. Yeah, when was that? I did the report I should know. Was that the 20s? Yeah, early, first half of the 20th century for sure. Yeah. In the 1930s maybe. They're probably wearing pants by this stage. So that's

sort of what happened in terms of the gas attacks. There are a few theories which I would like to share with you and then maybe we'd have some theories of our own. Okay. I love theories. So the first theory is mass hysteria. Boring. That is mass hysteria. It is a boring theory. Almost two weeks after the Matuna Tax began, the local commissioner of public health, the guy called Thomas V. Wright, announced that there had undoubtedly been a number of guessing incidences. He's like, I'm not denying that. But that many instances were likely due to hysteria. So, residents hearing of alarming events and then panicking when confronted by an out of place odour. It's kind of like when you like,

you're reminded of something and then you see it everywhere. Or like, uh, I mean. Yeah, I love when that happens. Yeah, it's kind of weird, but it's probably that sort of thing too. And you're like, did that word even exist last week? Yeah, and now I've heard it eight times today, totally, and it's just that sort of thing. Did that word even exist last week? Yeah, and now I've heard it eight times today, totally, and it's just that you're noticing it. So it could be something like that where

they've heard of people being attacked with gas and then any smell, they're like, it's gas, but it's not. It's like, you know that thing where if you'll see someone and someone who's like, I think there's a spider on me. And then you can sort of feel a spider on you. You know when you see a person, don't know why I think that's not it. And they say, I think there's a spider on me. No, today I was in, I was driving the car.

It wasn't my car. I stole a car. Help me. No, I had my boyfriend's car and he had left a pen. You stole your boyfriend's car. stole it. He doesn't know where it is. She left a can. I didn't tell you what's out of line.

I did it that side. She's not counting your money. He tells a can of sprite in the car and it still had some sprite in it. And then, but I'd driven the car that morning and it was fine. I went into, I was in a building for an hour. I came back out, they were ants all over the sprite can. So I took it out of the car, threw it out,

and then I was driving along and just felt like they were ants all over. And I was like, oh, I know they're gone, but blah, blah. You just done that to people around the world. Sorry, ants, ants everywhere. Did ants even exist this time last week? So yeah, this is Thomas V. Wright. He's the Commissioner of Public Health. This is what he's saying. He says there's no doubt that a gas maniac exists and has made a number of attacks, but many of the reported attacks are nothing more than hysteria.

Fear of... I mean, he's trying to calm hysteria. There's no doubt this maniac exists. But most of you are wrong. You're all crazy, you're all. Fear of the gas man is entirely out of proportion to the menace of the relatively harmless gas he is spraying. The whole town is sick with hysteria.

So the people who are going numb and losing their legs and stuff, they reckon that that's in their heads. Yeah. Wow, that's powerful. Yeah. You know, thinking there's ants on you is one thing. But going, I can't fill my legs.

I can't get out of bed. That's powerful. That's a bit weird. Then there was a local chief of police called CE Cole. And he took rights hypothesis a step further announcing that there were likely no gas attacks at all, and that all the reported instances has probably been triggered by chemicals carried on the wind from nearby industrial facilities. So they all breathed in these chemicals, making them high, and believing that there was some sort of chemical attack.

Idiots. So dumb. And most of the symptoms recorded during both the attack. So back in Virginia and also in Matoon, have all been suggested symptoms of hysteria. So that includes choking, swelling of mucus membranes and weakness and temporary paralysis. So one is that it's just all in their heads.

That's one theory. I don't like it. No, me either. But some experts believed that the mass hysteria was fueled by the headline in the Mattoon journal Gazette. The headline was Mrs. Kerie and daughter first victims, which assumed they'd be more attacks. Yeah.

That is pretty presumptuous. That's weird. And some people, a couple of those blogs that I read, were like, hmm, did they know something? Yeah. First victims, it's like, so I'm being killed by a murderer and then you're just saying, they've struck for the first time. Yeah. How do you know that? What do you come back?

Yeah. Unless you're doing it! Ah! I like that theory. You like that theory you're blaming her? Yeah, the newspaper people. Yeah. Use paper people.

There's paper people. Use paper people dead it again. So that's the main theory. The other is that after analyzing events, some researchers have concluded that at least some of the gastroincidences, that's hard to say, gasser incidents were the work of an actual attacker who carried out a series of gassings as reported by witnesses. So in the instances where people saw someone at their window, that kind of go yeah that's probably not in all in my head oh where do you draw where do you draw the line I don't know like I feel like seeing

someone you could your head could make that up just as much as your head could make up I'm paralyzing can't get out of bed I believed if seeing someone I'm sure I saw someone out the window but what kind of world are we living in? Well, you can't just lurk at people's windows. Yeah, no. And Elvis are near gassing them. Oh, it's a fair point. It's like, nanny state 2.0. Yeah.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. So you can't go around with like deadly chemicals on handkerchiefs. Sorry. Cloth slightly bigger than a handkerchief. Yeah. And you can't go, or obviously you can't go, you can't lurk.

Like lurking's a crime with dangerous gas on your person. Oh, what? I mean, what is this? What is going on? And this is the 1940s. Yeah. Is it, I mean, it feels like this is bloody 1920s on, you know, the 18, what is this, the 1890s?

Yeah. What? I thought we're in the modern world in 1940s baby the roaring 40s were up we're about but no no no no what is this you know back when I was a kid in days of your this wouldn't have happened I'm not sure if I'm nostalgic or I think I'm thinking that we've improved or we've regressed, but bloody hell, I just know that I want change. I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry that this triggered you. I'm triggered.

In this way. Some writers, this is another suggestion about the event. Some writers on the paranormal have covered the event. A writer by the name of Clark, in 1993, described an illustration of the gasser and says the artist depicts him as a not quite human, possibly extra-terrestrial being. Yes, now we're getting somewhere. Yes, so. What's the Moth Man? This is what I want to open it up to you. Obviously, you'll have your own theories met straight away,

going Moth Man. Dave, any theories on this stranger current? Gas boy. Oh, gas boys. How easy able to sneak, or how are they able to sneak into such small spaces? Gas boys. A gang of gas boys. Yes, how is it? I mean, remember that boy that threw something through a window, he got caught.

He was just one of the... He was a patsy for all the other gas boys. That's good. They throw him under the bus. Yeah, the only gas boys can change their form into normal boys with insecticide bottles. Exactly. Into any type of boy. Yeah, with any kind of bottle.

Wow. So just did you read any of that on your little website? That was my next paragraph. Oh, okay, sorry. So that's amazing. Yeah, I'm glad we covered that. Yeah. Not a fan of that. I'm glad.

You're glad. I said glad. Did I? God, I don't know. You gaslighted me. But the good news is, though, boys, I do have the answer. Oh, great. That is good news.

Well, it's going to be another unsolved kind of Christmas time mystery, because I have around Christmas the first few. Yeah, so what actually happened was, it was a mystery! Oh, long ago I fucking got you! Oh, the twist was that it was a mystery. Oh, I fucking got you. Oh, the twist was that it doesn't point to the door. I love a mystery episode. Salatessa gas in my mouth. Yeah.

It's sweet if you were listening. Yeah, it is sweet. Sweet like arsenic. Mmm. Yum, yum, yum. Well, no, just did say the such it. Two sources, sweet and sour. You.

So that's my report on the mad gasser. at the such at two sources, sweet and sour. You. So that's my report on the mad gasser of Matoon. Thank you to Victor Peter and Avery for suggesting that fascinating topic. And we'll give you a golf club. They're very on topic because I've just tweeted to the great, the shark Norman. Hey, at Shark Greg Norman, I just wanted to let you know that my friend at Jess and underscore Perkins is a really great comedian and she'd be called upon for all of your comedy needs.

Wow. That man owns a super yacht. Yeah. You'll be on there in no time. First, I got re-tweeted by Russell Crowe. Now I'm gonna be best friends with Greg Norman. You're gonna be booked by Greg the Shark Norman and that's because I am a big fan of yours.

Thank you. And that was a great report. But also, we are recording ahead of time. People want to see that tweet. They're going to have to go back. I don't tweet that often. And also they'll see it now and be like, that's a weird thing for David who's tweeted. Everyone is following both Dave and Greg the shark Norman.

No, everyone that follows me, I've put it out. I've got two likes so far. I'll tell you of any of them, Greg Norman. Neither of them are Greg Norman. Yet. Who's liked anyone notable? Maybe Craig Perry or Tiger Woods. Adam Scott.

Tiger gets in there. We're like, Tiger, we don't want to be on your super yacht. We know the kind of weird shit that Amazon your super yacht man. That's where all the loop goes. Two gallons, please. Pump bottle gallons. Ooh. I love a pump bottle.

It's just shit done, you know? Yeah. Anyway, that's my report. That's my short report on pump bottles. They get shit done. The mad gas stove of my tune. It's certainly... It's fun to say.

Media hype. I imagine gave him that name, do you think? I think so, yeah. Mad gas is pretty cool, isn't it? Bit of fun? I reckon if you were doing the attacks and it did happen to be one person, you'd read that and go, that's a pretty cool name.

Yeah, yeah, Mad gas is pretty happy with that. Yeah. I reckon that's one, one of the more fascinating ones. Are those ones that is not much, you just wonder how much of a disavived accurately and how much is it grown over time with blogs, you know what I mean? Yeah, and you didn't see there's no upcoming movies or anything based upon the mad, because it's a great movie title, I reckon. There are reckon there'll be a movie soon.

Normally it's after the podcast comes out that Hollywood, you know, Hollywood's listening. Yeah. Hello, Hollywood. Hello, Hollywood. Hello, I'd like to thank the Shack Norman. They're all they're all on board. Um, Jermon, have I quickly plug my podcast primates podcast because in the last month, both of you have been guests on the show. So if listeners haven't heard it, both episodes are so much fun. Dave, you came on and talked about the episode of The Simpsons where Troy McClure, great guy, made a comeback with, stop the planet of the apes. I want to get off. Now the episode called... Peter, in the amazing Doctor, say a song. Yes. And Jess, you came on and you did Georgia the Jungle and we had a real body good time.

I'd love to do Georgia the Jungle. Leave that there. I just liked Matt's uncomfortable little laugh there. It took a while to process, which I was editing this one because I dropped that in right at the end of the theme song I finished and finish and you'd go I'd love to do George Would you would you to Be keen to hear this week's fact quote or question. Yes. We're about to enter out the patreon part of the episode And why you get that up man? I feel I should tell the good people that they have it up

While Matt gets it up takes him a while is very old If you get a patreon.com slash do-go-on pod, why would you do that? Well, it's a way of supporting the show and in exchange, you give us a little something for giving you these episodes every single week and then we'll give you even more something something. We give you a little insight into what's going on with a newsletter that Matt's been putting out there. You get a vote for the episodes.

This very topic that just Presenter was voted for by the Patrons, and also you get two bonus episodes every single month. Not one, but two. And there's a lot of them still left up there. In fact, all of them at this stage. So if you subscribe, support us, you get a lot of bonus.

Possibly won't be the case for the time this comes out. But yeah, we're leaving up at least the last 10. Yeah, which will end up in least the last 10. Yeah, which should end up in you about five months with something like that. So this week's Sydney Shindburg Fact Quadal question. If you played to a certain level, you get to give us a fact quite a question. That's right. Yeah, there's heaps of different levels. So much fun. And everyone in there is so cool. Whenever we ever get a chat going, I mean, all Allison's are sick dogs.

I love it. Not like they've, it's a sick dog. Sick dogs. If you get the vet on the line, it's put me down. Put me down. Sick dog. I mean, sick dog in a positive way, yeah.

Bring that dog back to life. Yeah, the ones who are having vomiting, fits of joy and love. Anyway, Jackson Bland is this week's fact quote or questioner. And they also get to give themselves a title and Jackson's given himself the title of Junior Vice intern of Sydney Shahnberg. Love it.

What a great place to start your career. You get a lot of good stories of you, where Sidney Shum, if you had anything to do with the work of Sidney Shum. Oh, yeah. He's also found some sort of a loophole. I'm calling this a quart. And this is a quart.

It's quoting Jackson himself. Do you want to read it out this week, Jess? Yes. So Jackson says quite for himself. Not really a question, but I just want to say how much I appreciate the work you guys do. Your podcast has gotten me through some tough times, and I'm really happy that I'm able to return the favor and support you. It's like two swing. Oh no, Jackson, you absolutely legend. Two nice. Like I can't even riff on that. It sounds a bit like we write that ourselves.

Yeah. To try and pick up. Yeah, Jackson. Jackson, that's very, very nice. So nice. And I guess that's, I didn't really foresee that happening, but the quote version of it could be anything you want. Yeah.

You could quote yourself and say, I mean, you don't have to just say nice things about us. And otherwise that makes for a boring podcast, but it's just very nice. It's so, so nice. And every time someone emails in and says that they've been loving the show and nice things, it really does make a smile. So thank you to everyone who does that.

And to Jackson, you're a great guy. And I don't think you'll be an intern for long. I see big things for you, my friend. Yeah. What does Sydney think of him, though? I don't think he'll be an intern for long. I see big things for you, my friend. Yeah. What does Sydney think of him, though? I don't think he's a goddamn girl. I need a coffee.

All right, go ahead. He came to try to thought it. Never get a straight answer out of the name. Well, not without his coffee. No, I think Jackson's great, but I think he'd be even better with a chip answer. That's always bringing it back to chimps these days. It's all you do is, outside of this podcast, is watch chimps at base things for your other podcast

and it's destroying your mind. That's what Sidney Shoneberg said. He said, back to the future, would've been better if there was a chimpe and it should've been called Spaceman from Pluto. Remember, that's the algorithm we talk about, I remember Spaceman from Pluto.

That is the best. The best title. Sp Space Man from Pluto. That is the best. The best title. Space Man from... All right, let us thank some more people. Another thing we don't bet you on is, of course, thank some of the good people that dig into their coffers and throw their coffer money into our coffers.

They have in coffer fits. I'd love to think of a could and just normally you could give us a little game to play with the names. Oh, if you got something no. Can there be a mad person? I'll start reading one out and then a mad something. Not a mad person but a mad, you know, cool. Alright, I'd love to think of something as well. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mad, something of something. From Washington in America. I'd love to think, if I may, Emily Nutsen from Washington in the United States of America. And she is the mad America and she is the mad Honka of

Yeah, in comparison. Don't name for it. I, you are bagging me, but I love Jemangistan. I reckon it's the best one I've got. The best what we've got. The best of any of the places we've had, Jemangistan is definitely the best. Yeah, that's true.

All right. Got no doubt about that. Oh, guitar's not that bad. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna open my mind and close it and just free it and empty it and open it and just say, I'm just gonna say what happened. Okay, let me set you up. Oh, finally, we'd like to thank from London,

from London town, Harriet, Layton Porter. Oh, that is a good one. Oh, that is a good one. And Harriet Layton porter is the mad. Stinger. Stinger of. Stinger. Sepul, ten.

Nigneton. A little recap there. So Harriet, latent porter is the mad. I can't remember. Stinger. Stinger. Of Sepple. Yeah, there was a long pause here last time.

Yeah, it's Sepple. I've forgotten to. There's a middle syllable, but I forget what it was and then... Mmm, ten. What's a stinger? A stinger. Oh, yes. Oh, that is, That is really adorable.

Stinger is, of course, when a human being, like the major stinger, has a certain, how do you say, how do you say, spark coming out there, date. And it is both infectious and confectionery. And it can be stopped here. It sounds a bit like Sean Connery describing a scorpion attack. That's what it is, yep. Long story short. Stingar.

Check out the stingar. Okay, there you go. Imbroth, baby. Yeah, Dave. Check out the stinger. Okay, there you go. Imbronf, baby. Yeah, Dave's a lot better at it.

That's true. We are no people, not yes and people.

So you do leave me. Improvs all about teamwork and you guys leave all this episode. You've left me hanging out there.
