Melbourne and Canada, we got exciting news for you. And we should also say this is 2026. Jess, what year is it? 2026. Thank God you're here. Right now, I'm in Melbourne doing my show with Serenji Amarna, 630 each night at the Cooper's Inn Hotel, having so much fun. We'd love to see you there.

Tickets for all this stuff, I believe, are online. And I'm here too. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates.

Welcome to another intro to another episode of Do Go On. It's Dave here with Matt and Jess in the studio. Hello. What you are about to hear is our Halloween special, our spooky, spooky spectacular for the year that we recorded live at Howler in Brunswick in our home city of Melbourne. Howler even has a bit of a Halloween Hauler.

It totally does. Is that way you were getting at? Is that way you were getting at? Yeah, we're idiots. Duh. We had... Hindsight, Mara. Yeah, 2020.

Yeah, Mara. We did have a lot of fun recording this episode. We do hope you like it as much, or have as much fun as we did making it. And we're going to be back at the end with our usual Patreon stuff. But until then, maybe I'll just throw to ourselves, introducing this live in front of a Hala crowd. Over to you, ass.

Us. But? I do say. This is cool. This is cool. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of Do Go On Live at Hala. Hey, you're doing out there. Howl here?

My name is Dave Hornike and I'm joined on stage by my two best friends, Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart. Yeah. Oh. Thanks, Dave. They didn't know that. What a way to find out. You're like top 20 for us.

Top 20? Oh, Jess, don't talk for me. I'm being generous. Hey, everyone. This is ridiculous. Hello. That's a bit of fun with the intro there. Enjoy that?

A bit of bloody fun. I spend more time on that than I did on my report. And that will show. That is absolutely true. Thank you so much for coming out. Now, this show here at Hauler is our Bon Voyage show before our UK tour next month, which we're very excited about.

So thank you for coming out and sending us off in style. It's fucking nuts, isn't it? Can you believe it? Anyway. I mean, I say style. Matt is wearing thongs on stage. So, good on you, mate. You said you weren't going to mention that.

It's fucking summertime out there. there grow up mate grow up and wear boots like a real boy it's gonna say man not appropriate but uh but yeah it is it is uh great to be here uh thank you so much for coming out uh we always like to start these live shows by asking uh for random applause if you've never ever heard do go on before if you've never heard the show gives random applause oh a few great awesome thank you thank you so much that's okay um you quite loudly but yeah very proud about it aren't they yes and I never will yeah it's gonna be very

Maguire. Maguire, show me the money. Fest.

What did you do for Block? That's what a lot of people I heard asking out the front. Oh, what are you up to for Block this year? It's just the question I heard it said a lot. Dave hired a condo he was telling us. Really? Yeah, got a condo for Block. Yeah, got a condo of a block.

Cost me a fortune. Yeah, bump up the prices, don't they? Yeah, scumbags. Those condo owners. Anyway, um, so this is part of block and because it's coming out of the end of block, I don't know if you guys know this, but at the end of Cocktoberfest is what I like to call it. At the end of October, there is a very special day, a very special, spooky day. Oh, Dave's wedding anniversary, yes.

Yes. It's terrifying. I don't know how many years it's been. You've got to guess. What is this paper? Paper? Do you want paper? Why do they give paper?

Anyway, because this is coming out at the end of the month, we are going to make this a bit of a Halloween special. It's actually, it's going to be coming out on Halloween. Is it? Isn't that spooky? It's almost like we planned it. We're just going to do that a lot, to be honest. Probably won't be that spooky.

going to be me going, ooh. Oh, okay, sorry, mate. Didn't warn you there, sorry about that. And because it's a Halloween special, what we've decided to do is all do a mini report on a spooky topic. Luckily, it is daytime, so if it does get a bit too scary,

you can just head outside, see some sunshine, call your mum, whatever you're going to do. Unless you're a vampire. Oh, yeah. They can't see the sun. What, that's not how it works. They're not blind to the sun. No, don't look at the sun.

They can't see it. That's like Donald Trump has proven. That's not how it works. Yeah. But Matt, you were telling you were writing your report last night, which, if anything, is amazing that you didn't do it this morning. But, and you were alone in our studio space, which is inside a warehouse.

And you were actually a bit scared going to your car last night. Fucking I. But this is a rough neighborhood. There were some hoodlums. In the studio? Yeah. Oh no. We've got to get that lock fixed.

Yeah. We should do that. We should also start the program. Yes, we should start the program. So the few people that haven't heard or if you're listening for the first time at home, what we do is we get given a topic by a listener. These are a listener suggested topics. And we do a report on it.

The other two people don't know what the topic's going to be. So we've all picked a topic. We've checked with a third party to make sure we haven't accidentally done the same topic. because that would be really awkward. We've got one friend that we always use for that. Like, we always use her to be our middleman. And sometimes I feel like that's the only reason I message her and I feel bad about that.

So I ask her about the topic and then I'm like, how are you? But I don't care so much about that bit. You do know she's here. I know. Thanks for everything you do, Emma. Yeah, thank you, Emma. I love you. And how are you?

And how are you? That's good fun. That is good fun. Just a bit of fun. Sometimes I worry that because it's been three years, our brains are just turning into one... I was going to say mega brain, but that's a bit... That's kind, isn't it?

One average brain. One tiny, tiny brain. Do you think soon I'll have access to your memories? Hope so. Black male! Well, I hope you can remember what number wedding anniversary ever are coming up. To be honest, I don't even remember getting married.

I'm not. I'm not a bad guy. Okay. I believe it's, I'm going to go first here. Yes. My topic, we've tried to keep it out to time, but let's find out if I did that. Four hours later.

We always get on the topic with a question. My question for you, two beautiful people. And then when I imagine you don't get this, I throw it out to the rest of you here. So little faith in us. My spooky, spooky topic. My question is, who was the 20th century's power couple

of paranormal investigations? Matt and Jess. So close. You're the 21st century power couple. Mulder and Scully? Not Mulder and Scully, who I love. Bride of Frankenstein and Frankenstein. I don't think we're going to know this.

Does anyone want to have a hazard a guess? It is the Warren. Well done. Nerd. The topic I'd like to cover is paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren. Lorraine. The Keish herself. It's a really, it's a spooky name, Lorraine, isn't it?

So, so terrifying. This topic was suggested by two people. Ian Whitehead from Wales, who I imagine is not here. But also... Classic Ian. Also by Ethan Doe from Melbourne. Ethan, are you actually here? Oh, that'd be so cool.

Ethan, if you're listening. Ethan, why do you think I picked this shitty topic? It was for that moment. This subject sucks. We should check. Is Ian Whitehead from Wales here? That would be amazing. No?

Okay. Well, anyway, this is for you guys. So Ed and Lorraine. Gone, Ellie. No, have you guys... Have you heard of them? No. But I love a power couple.

Oh, they are a super duper power couple. They are famous for investigating and inspiring the Amateurville horror, which you may have heard of, the book and then series of films. That's Ryan Reynolds, isn't it? A firm no over here. A firm no, but then like a vague yes over the back? Yes.

Yeah, thank you. Hey, who was it? Stand up. No. Stand up, get out. Stand up. Get out. Ed and Lorraine are also the inspiration for the horror film franchise The Conjuring. Oh no. Which I am way too scared to watch, so there will be no more references to horror films.

I think that's just about a close-up magician. Yeah, the most terrifying of all street performers. Don't make me talk to him. There it is. First regret phrase for the day. So if you're not familiar with this couple, this is how. how Ed and Lorraine Warren are described on their own website, warrens.net. I guess warrens.com was taken, which is surprising because looking at it, it looks like one of the original pages from the internet. It is a terrible website.

Great. This is how they describe themselves in the third person. For over 50 years now, Ed and Lorraine Warren have been considered America's preeminent experts on the subject of spirits and demonology. Even more important perhaps is the fact that they have also been the very same people for the past 50 years whom religious authorities have repeatedly called in to control some of the most profane outbreaks of diabolical phenomena in this country. Cases where priests become possessed.

Cases where people are physically attacked. I mean, you should leave that to the police, to be honest. Cases where unworldly entities manifest and then preside. Cases where time is violated and the physical environment is. completely rearranged. Cases where spirits don't just haunt a house, they visibly tear it apart. Spooky, spooky stuff.

Which I love that if the house is haunted, you don't call them, you only call them once the house has been haunted, and it's been torn apart. Yeah. I think there's a ghost of my house. You think, or you know. Where's the destruction? You think, call me when you know.

At beep, beep, beep, their business is suffering. Dave. Just as you were ripping into them I've looked up Dave Warnocky.com You got dot com Davewarnocky dot net That's some accountant, whatever You've called it

He says And you were giving them shit for talking about themselves In the third person How about this paragraph? Here we go I don't know what to pick There's so much gold in here The best looking comedian in the world

Dave Warnockie is a 20% 27-year-old award-nominated comedian. In brackets, it says losing. I don't want to make it when you're funny. Thank you. Warnocky or Warn Dog. As literally no one has ever called him. I thought this was going to be funnier.

No, but it's not funny because he's proud of it, you know? If he was like, no, die, then it would be the best, but his ego won't allow him to ever do that. Oh no, don't read out a list of my long accomplishments. My long accomplishments, fuck. It was nearly that good. Anyway, back to Ed and Lorraine. Ed was born in 1926.

He is no longer with us. He died in 2006. Okay. But Lorraine is still alive. She's born the year later. She's 91 years young. That's good fun. I was going to be like, good on you, Lorraine.

Now I'm like, fuck off, Lorraine. Let me say that's not on their website, so you can't hold that against him. Yeah, right. Good on you then, Lorraine. Together, they claim to have investigated over 10,000 paranormal cases, which is one every single day for 27 years. Oh my God, take a holiday! Or if they take the weekends off,

at least one every day for 40 straight years, not including a couple of weeks off for Christmas, so I don't know their Christmas plans. But what I'm going to do... He has some research very thoroughly this time. What we do know is that they have investigated some very famous paranormal cases, and I'm going to tell you my favourite of those cases.

Now, if you're not already on board, some of you seem to be a bit suspicious of these guys, as experts in the paranormal field, let me read some more of their biography from their own website. Ed and Lorraine Warren have dedicated their lives to this work and they share the wisdom they have gained

during their extraordinary career in this field. The work they perform is remarkable. And you can be certain after all this time, they know things that are completely astounding. The cases they divulge will shock you, yet it is the significance of what they say

that will actually flaw you. Moreover, the warrants don't mince their words. They know what they're talking about. They have seen it, and they have done it.

Oh, they've done it. Yeah, let's party. Edit Lorraine, doing it. I thought I was talking about the scary clown. Oh, no. They have done it. That's cool. Freaky cool.

Threesome with it. So you're wondering who these people are. Well, Ed Warren is a demonologist. That's not a real thing. No. Where did he get his degree in demonology? Demonology.net.com was taken. One brain.

Lorraine Warren is a quote, trance medium. What does that mean? I don't fucking know. But they complement each other. perfectly and as I said at the start they are a power couple to the demon stars. Didn't write that down so. You riffed that? That was a bonus, a little bonus.

Do you riff that? Hell yeah. Fuck yeah. What a riff. That will be on my website later tonight. Dave Woneckee is known for such riffs as... Now, according to all that's interesting.com... Is that the one I was...

Yeah, it's a great website. It's a good website. It's a real good website. It does it for favour. If there's any lulls in the show, just pull out your phone. Lursey Pop. Lorraine said that ever since she was seven or eight, she could see oras around people.

She was too scared to tell people in case her parents would think she was crazy. So she kept those powers to herself. But then she met her husband, Ed, when she was 16. She was finally able to open up to a fellow weirdo. You see, Ed had grown up in a haunted house and was a self-taught demonologist. Okay, all right.

So that doesn't, I mean, that's not anything. No, he got his degree from the School of Life. Yeah, I'm a lifologist. School of life, school of lives. They're all the same thing. Hey, Jess, by the way, I also see Oras, and you've got a beautiful one. It's just a light behind me, Matt. One of my friends, if I may, one of my friends works on camps for young kids,

and one kid one year, he could see Oras. And there was this, there was one adult on the camp who was a bit, bit right. She was like a bit strict. And my friend asked this kid what colours her aura and the kid goes, oh, black, there's nothing I can do. I'd love to help, but there's nothing I can do. I love that kid. Well, that kid could get a job in the occult museum

that Lorraine and Ed founded in the basement of their research centre. In the basement. Yeah, which they adorned with satanic objects and demonic artefacts. Yeah, great. Were they satanic objects? Put that underground where you can't get out easily.

Yeah. Yeah, there's no emergency exit. Good. Are they Satan? No, they are not. In fact, they are quite opposite. They're very deeply religious types. Trying to rid the world of evil.

Evil. Also, e-books. Sounded like I said there. They're not fans. Now, so that's a bit of background. The case I want to talk to you about that really put them on the map was a doll called Annabelle.

Ooh, spooky. It's a pretty name. I love the name Annabelle. It's a terrifying name. It's a terrifying name. It's a terrifying name. Yeah. I hate it.

It's spooky. The Warren's claim that a doll was given to a 28-year-old nurse named Donna by her mother. Weird gift. That's already weird. Don't give me dolls. Give me cash. You are 28.

I'm 28 and give me cash. Well, we will, Jess does have a jug up the back for us. I will be accepting notes. So this doll, only accepting notes. The quote, cuddly doll was a Raggedy Ann style doll

complete with button eyes and floppy red yarn hair. Button eyes are terrifying. Where's the pupil? I don't like it. I'm sorry. Well, I was thinking the doll seemed quite nice, but Lorraine Warren, our trance says, quote, looks are deceiving.

It's not what the doll looks like that makes it scary. It's what has been infused within the doll. Evil. I love this lady. Anyway, Donna... So it's not the small child's doll that we should be worried about?

No, it's the evil. Okay. A bit of a flippooroo. Yeah. I know. She's not conventional. Anyway, Donna, who owned the doll, started to notice that the doll was changing positions on its own. Warren.net says, sometimes the doll would be found with legs crossed,

arms folded. Other times, it would be found upright standing on its feet. Several times, Donna sometimes left the doll on the couch before leaving for work and would return to find the doll back in her room on the bed with the door closed. So someone's fucking with her. She does have housemates.

Yeah. This is true. Or siblings. My brother would do that 100%. Well, would your brother do this? Then Donna and her housemate started finding parchment paper with written messages saying things like, Help me, help us.

That's a nice message. Yeah. That is nice, isn't it? That nice. Well, let's work together. Just all look out for each other. Stop making it. You and me, we're not enemies.

It's us. Help us. Help us. Help us. You know, nice. Yeah, it sounds so, so nice. I've written here, as if that wasn't strange enough, the girls claimed that they didn't even have parchment paper in their house.

They only had printer paper. Where did it come from? What kind of house doesn't have parchment? Grow up. You were an adult or what? The most terrifying part, they didn't even have a house. That is pretty sad. That is sad, yeah.

Yeah, it's tragic. Next, the doll started showing up in even more rooms and she seemed that she looked like she was bleeding. Oh. Sorry Ooh Thank you Unsure of what to do

The owner of the doll Turned as you do To a medium Uh huh Yep Rather than throwing out the doll Who said the doll Was being occupied

By the spirit of a young girl named Annabel Higgins This is what the medium thought Anabel A median? Pardon? Median Medium

Medium Medium Medium Medium It's not a comedian Comedium Continue This is what the

I'm going to call them psychic. Psychic? Medium. Annabel was a young girl that resided on the property before the apartments were built. They were, quote, happy times. Ooh.

She was a young girl of only seven years old when her lifeless body was found in the field upon which the apartment complex now stands. The spirit related to the medium that she felt comfort with Donna and Angie, the housemate, and wanted to stay with them and be loved. Feeling compassion for Annabel and her story, Donna gave her permission to inhibit the doll and stay with them.

They were soon to find out, however, that Annabel was not what she appeared to be. This was no ordinary case and definitely no ordinary doll. Donna felt sorry for the doll, but her friend Lou did not. He thought the doll was evil. This is what happened to him, according to warrants.net. Lou awoke one night from a deep sleep and in panic. Once again, he'd had a bad recurring dream, Only this time somehow something seemed different. It was though he was awake but couldn't move. He looked around the room but couldn't discern anything

out of the ordinary and then it happened. Looking down towards his feet, he saw the doll Annabel. It began to slowly glide up his leg, moved over his chest and then stopped. All right. You're looking at him, you're like, whoa, whoa, let's just see where this goes. It went for the chest.

And it didn't do what you're thinking. Hey, we support you. And whatever tangent you want to go on. Well, it moved up his chest, then stopped. And within seconds, the doll was strangling him. Paralyzed and gasping for breath, Lou, at the point of asphyxiation, blacked out. He woke up the next morning, certain that it wasn't a dream.

How big is this doll? Honestly, about that big. It's about the size of like a baby born. So it doesn't have hands that will fit around your neck, Lou? More like, loser. That's what Lou. It's what Lou stands for, I can confirm. His full name is loser.

And it also would be just puffy, like, wool hands. How do you get it? It'd feel quite nice. Yeah. Ooh, ooh. Yeah, ooh. Around the back. Ooh.

Let's just see where this goes. So this is where our friends, Ed and Lorraine, took an interest in the case and contacted Donna. After evaluating the doll, they, quote, came to the immediate conclusion that the doll itself was not in fact possessed, but manipulated by an inhuman presence. The Warren's claim,

spirits do not possess inanimate objects like houses or toys. They possess people. An inhuman spirit can attach itself to a place or object, and this is what occurred in the Annabelle case. He knows that because he self-taught it to himself. Yeah, yeah. Let me just talk to my professor. Hello?

Hello? Classic Ed. So, Ed Warren drove the doll Annabel to his museum for, quote, safekeeping. But claimed the doll willed the car's brakes and steering to fail repeatedly. So what he did was he threw holy water on his backseat passenger to stop the meddling. Start throwing holy water. devil's begun. Why did he have holy water with him?

Oh sorry, it's Ed, of course he did. He's got it in his pack, ready to go. Yeah, in his demon pack. This is again from Warren's website. Annabelle is believed to be responsible for the death of an individual who came in contact with it. This doll also reportedly slashed a grown man

several times across the chest. She terrorised on it for months until the Warren's and an Episcopal priest were called in and an exorcism was performed. Although Annabelle has been since exercised several times, it is believed that some energy is still attached to this doll. The Warren's claim that had Donna and her flatmate's experiences lasted just two or three more weeks,

the spirits would have completely possessed, if not harmed or killed, one or all of the occupants in the house. These days, she is part of their museum. Annabella's kept in a glass box secured with ritualistic prayers. Another quote from Lorraine, We have a priest come in and bless the museum, including Annabel. These are prayers that bind the evil, much like an electric fence for a dog. What the fuck?

Ryan Buell, who was the co-founder of the paranormal research society, claims he saw Annabelle's head move up and down, startling him, as if Annabelle was nodding at him, as if to acknowledge his presence. And you can still see Annabelle locked inside that glass box in the Warren's Museum to this day. or so I thought until I saw on their website warrens.net that the museum is currently closed due to zoning

regulations and if that's not a possessed doll at work I don't know what is I don't know the spookiest regulations of all don't you reckon there's something suss about a story where the only people who believe it happened also profit

by being real by selling people tickets to their museum with that thing in it I mean that was a weird way to structure that sentence, but... Once I started I could not stop and it just... How long did it go for? About eight hours. Everyone left. Now, I know we're all very sad that you can't go and see the museum,

which according to Facebook has been closed for over two years now. But I am pleased to say that you can book a buffet dinner date with Annabel the doll. What the fuck? I am not joking. How much? Well, October 26, 2018, which gives you guys in the room time, or April 6, 2019, for the people at home,

you can pay $169 US to have, quote, Nice. Nice. Nice. You can have, quote, an evening that will begin at a restaurant banquet room located in southwestern Connecticut,

in brackets, one of the best in Connecticut. There you will dine on. on a fine buffet dinner consisting of chicken, fish, meat and pasta. And you will get to see Annabel, although the doll will be housed in a protective cabinet made from wood and plexiglass, and as well as $169 US dollars, you have to sign a release form stating that you absolve the host,

Lorraine Warren and the restaurant from, quote, any liability or traumatic influence associated with viewing the items or being in the presence of Annabelle and or occult items. I love that it's one of the best buffet dinners in Connecticut. We should go. We should go, yes. What's that like top five worldwide? Buffet dinner.

Now, I don't know if I've given this way here. I'm a bit of a skeptic. I didn't believe any of this spooky stuff about Annabel, sorry to say. But as I was writing this, something spooky happened to me. Oh, my God. My computer fully froze. three whole minutes. And when it came back on,

my doc had just written over and over, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don. What did that? You guys can say, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don. I don't know what that means. I don't know. Is that Annabelle telling me, you better fucking not make fun of me

in front of a crowd? I'd say it's more likely it was Don. Or the original owner. Dona. And one final note, I should be shitting myself right now because this is from warrens.net. Since the case was built, Annabel, the case that she's in, no longer appears to move.

But she is thought to be responsible for the death of a young man who came to the museum on a motorcycle with his girlfriend. On the way home, the young man and his girlfriend were laughing and making fun of the doll. When he lost control of his motorcycle and went head on into the tree, the young man was killed instantly, but his girlfriend survived and was hospitalized for over a year.

At least he died doing what he loved. Laughing about an evil doll. Who doesn't love that? I'm doing it right now. Yeah, it's the best. When asked about what happened, the young woman explained they were laughing about the doll when they lost control of the motorcycle.

Ed Warren warns, you do not challenge evil. That, no man, and that no man is more powerful than Satan. And if Annabelle, if you're listening, I'm really sorry. Really sorry. Isn't that what Ed's dedicated his whole life to? Challenging Satan.

Yeah. Yeah, but not laughing at. Oh, okay. Yeah, you're not laughing at. Basically putting Satan in a small glass box. Yeah, and charging you to look at him. Or have dinner near him. Oh.

But that is my report on the Warrens and Annabel. Thank you very much. Warnockie. Well done. Well done, Dave. Well done to keep that relatively short too, Dave. Yeah, that was impressive for you. Thank you.

Thank you, Sam. Now I'm going to do the same and keep it real short. Sorry, I just spoke into my beer. Hang on. Work. Are you okay? Do you know which one's the talky one? Let me have a drink.

A bit of both, okay. Sorry about that. You like this more than anyone else. I'm here for you. Dave's all about the visual gags. Yeah. On a podcast. Yeah, at home, they don't know what I've been using as a microphone.

Let's see where this goes. That's the new two go on. Let's see where this goes. Fuck me, that was one of the best things you've ever done. Did not write a question, as I never do. Thank you, thank you. And when Dave earlier said, and we always start with a question, I did a little, oh.

And I heard a few people here go, she didn't write a question. Now, right. So I'm going to, ooh, riff one. Was you a riff, I'm going to make up a question? Yep.

But I really just want to say, have you heard of? Insert topic name here. Okay. Oh, I can get that right. Have you heard of the Pollock twins? The cricketers?

No. Sean Pollock. And his dad. He's dad? The twins? Has anyone here heard of the Pollock twins? Has anyone here heard of Sean Pollock? Is anyone here heard of cricket?

This was suggested by Sandy Ty. Is Sandy here? They never turn up. Sandy suggested last week's topic as well. Really? She's on a roll. The last week's topic was fucked as well. Sandy.

She's not here because of the daylight. Good on you, Sandy. Thanks for everything. Jess, is this your second in, I presume, a triptych of... Creepy twins? I love creepy twins. Oh no, you've done...

This is your third twins. Oh, yes, this is number three. The cray twins. Okay, this is my third twins. The Givens twins. You love it. You love twins. You love them.

You love twins. You love twins. You love them. Roasted. You fucking got me. Sorry about that. I will apologise. Oh my God. Do you guys see me get God? That was brutal. Sorry, it was a bit much. Yeah, no, you'll be apologising for that later, thank you.

So let me take you back to the quiet town of Hexham in Northumberland, England. England is scary. It's the spooky place. Yeah. It's so old. And their teeth are shit. We're gonna be there so soon. Yeah, please come to our shows still.

Do you say their team is shit? Yep. Which team? Teeth. Oh, I think you said team. Like the English cricket team destroyed by Sean Pollock and the South Africans in the late 90s. Oh hang. Did you hit a six there, mate?

I got caught. Even in your dreams, you son. Even in my dreams I'm bad at sport. Good to be realistic in your dreams. I'm lonely in mine You're realistically lonely You don't want to wake up and go I want to go back to sleep

In my dreams I'm just sitting alone quietly It's quite nice Anyway Northumberland The family of John and Florence Pollock And they had two young daughters Joanna who was 11 And Jacqueline who was six

John and Florence ran a grocery and milk delivery business kind of an early Uber Eats. I wrote that one down. And then I did this, I went, so it stayed in. I think I'll celebrate by ordering some Uber Eats. Joanna and Jacqueline were very close,

even despite a five-year age gap between them. But on the 7th of May, 1957, Jacqueline, Joanna and their friend Anthony were on their way to church when they were struck by a car. The car was driven by a local woman who had taken an overdose of aspirin and sedatives and had attempted to kill herself

and then went for a drive. What? What are you doing? The two Pollock children were killed instantly in the accident and Anthony unfortunately died later in hospital as well and Florence Pollock, their mother, she spun into a deep depression in the void because of the loss but the highly religious John, their dad

maintained hope that his daughters would somehow return to them. Oh, John. Despite this ordeal and the tension between the very religious John and the agnostic Florence, he was like, nope, one day she's like, shut the fuck up, John. Florence became pregnant the following year, and on the 4th of October, 1958, she gave birth to healthy twin girls. The twins were a surprise.

Their doctor had told them it was just one baby based on the heartbeat, and neither of the parents had any history of twins in their family, so they're expecting one and they just had two. So is their heartbeat perfectly in unison? Oh, creepy twins. Yeah, well, or it's the 50s. Yeah. I reckon it's that. Yeah.

Medical technology, not that great. Who are these people? Because I thought this isn't the same couple who had the twins? So... What happened? They had... They had, okay, sorry everyone, take a sec. They had two daughters who weren't twins.

Okay. They were killed in the accident. Yes. Then they had twins. Okay, now I'm with you. We're good? Yeah. He's going to get confusing because it's, yeah.

And the whole time the dad John thought they were going to come back. Yeah. And it's a lot of girls' names, so just try to keep up. So the twins were named Gillian and Jennifer. And they were considered by John to be a sort of miracle. and he truly believed that his dead daughters had come back to them. Nope, different daughters.

Don't be creepy, John. The family moved from Hexham to a town called Whitley Bay when the twins were just a few months old and as soon as they were old enough to talk, the twins began asking for and describing specific toys that Joanna and Jacqueline had owned. I want to play with a truck. Even calling their dolls by name.

Okay, truck. Beautiful man. Beautiful. I want to play with a truck. Which was really bizarre because their parents had boxed up the toys and stored them in the attic and the girls had never seen these toys.

Had they put them inside a glass plexy case? Because you've got to do that. Like when Dave gets weirdly intense and does this heavy breathing thing, it's really strange. You should see me play sport. Help, help! No, good on you, mate.

So they were asking for things that their sisters had had. They didn't even know they had older sisters. They'd never seen any of these toys before. Their parents brought the toys down from the attic, and the twins instinctively collected the correct responsive ones that had belonged to Joanna and Jacqueline. So they had extra toys that they just kept in the attic? Like decoy toys.

All right, which one do you want? And they chose the right one. And they even... proclaimed that they were Santa gifts, which was correct. Their older sisters had been given them for Christmas. On the side it said, two older sister from Santa.

And they put two and two together. The two twins liked the same foods that Joanna and Jacqueline had. Wow. Mashed up apples. It's crazy. Joanna liked those. They can't get enough.

This breast milk. It's crazy. Just like the older sisters. So weird. So weird. It's uncanny. It's uncanny. I'm telling you.

They're even getting it from the same breasts. So weird. Weird. So weird. Like the ones get out from the left. That is pretty weird. We'll only take from the left. Just like Jijigil.

Jacqueline? Jacqueline. Jacqueline. Jujigol. Close. Close. Close. The twins had similar personalities, mannerisms and behaviours.

And Gillian once pointed at a birthmark on her twins' forehead and accurately said that it was where Jacqueline had hit her head on a bucket when she was younger. So one of the twins had a scar that was very similar to her sister's scar. But only one of the identical twins had it, like a birth mark. Weird. some would say spooky that is at a stretch

these things kept happening over the years the girls eerily were giving details of things that only their parents and Joanna and Jacqueline could have known they were terrified of passing cars

and had to be like it was to the point it was difficult to get them to cross the road passing cars are the ones they shouldn't have been worried about yeah I wasn't sure either, so...

Fuck. Don't turn around and hide regret face. Florence, the mum, once overheard the two girls discussing the actual accident that had killed Joanna and Jacqueline with details they could not have known. One thing they would supposedly

do often was that Jennifer would rest her head on Gillian's lap and Jennifer would say there was blood coming from her eyes. Oh, no. I mean, that is weird behaviour regardless. I'm telling you. twins. Any identical twins in? Oh, thank God.

Because I was about to be like, identical twins are fucking weird. And then just slowly someone at the back is just like, and their twin far away is feeling that pain. Oh, my birth mark. Oh. All twins are Harry Potter today. I don't have the heart to tell him. When the family took a trip back to Hexham,

the twins knew their way around and could accurately point out landmarks by name and... Post office. How do they know? And the school they remembered attending, which was Joanna and Jacqueline's school, even though the twins were only a few months old

when they moved away and couldn't have remembered any of this. Ooh, they could have seen pictures. If all of this is true, it is obviously freaky as. Do you believe it? Do you believe? She's 72. Share, 72.

Looks incredible. How quickly do you think you can get from... That quickly. They were with me. They were in shock that she's 72. That was efficient. She looks amazing. Anyway, I'm not sure that I believe, but... Is it how you dodge every question?

Yeah, I break into song. Where were you last night? Share is 72. The police are like, wait, what? I don't know if I believe, Matt, but somebody who did believe, fucking segue, was John. Was Dr. Ian Stevenson.

Oh, did he get his degree from demonology, you told me that? He was, I believe a psychologist, who was highly interested in evidence of reincarnation in children. He started visiting and interviewing the twins as part of his research. Now, the twins were identical, meaning they came from a single air, Egg. Single ed. Single egg. Yet they had slightly different builds which matched

their dead sisters who had not been twins. So one was sort of taller and very slim and the other was sort of a bit shorter and stocky. I'm believing this. I reckon that's the sisters. Well in a weird turn of events, these apparent memories of the twins' past lives began to fade at around the age of five

after which they led relatively normal lives. Right. I just forgot all about it and went on with it. Apparently, much, much later when Gillian was an adult she had like a couple of dreams that were from like a sister's memory we think

but also I mean once they got past the age of their sisters they wouldn't maybe something happened there but their sisters were 11 and four four six thank you yeah I think that adds up in this mythical shit yeah

so they got to five and let's say a half well 11 minus six yeah that's what I'm Fuck off, nerd Let me just do some math Let me just crunch some numbers over here So some people argued

That family members Or their parents might have Talked to them about it But their parents are like Their mom was a real skeptic too And she was like we never talked to them about it at all There's no way they could have known any of this But some people are like

Nah bullshit Yeah I trust her but John feels like he's whispering in there is Hey is that birth mother Remember that awful accident you were in? Oh, no. Yeah, Dad of the Year. I don't think that's true at all.

That sounds like a bad dad. So I don't know. Do you guys think it's reincarnation? Nah. He gets bullshit? Who's with me? It's real. Yeah, there you go.

You got to wave. That's nice. Yay. But I think we can all agree. It's my favorite. I think we can definitely agree. Let's see where this girl is. We can definitely agree though that it is spooky.

Whoa! And I'm halfway in between, I want to believe. Yeah. X-Files, Gretcher. Is that what that is? Is that a catchphrase from them? I want to believe. Yeah. That's good.

Also, can I point out too that I kept to time really well? So, pressure's on Matt. Yeah, timekeeping. Let's give a... Let's give a round of applause for that. Now Matt, you're going to bring us home strong here. Yeah, better be strong. Well, look. This is the reason we picked this order is because you're like,

my report's fucking sick and it's going to shit all over yours, your dogs. And we were like, Matt, you're being weirdly aggressive. And he was like, nah, fuck you, dickheads. And then he fly kicked me, which was odd. And I didn't think his body could do that because he's old. And he kind of misjudged and he, went a bit early and kind of went like eh and then he fell and we're to get him up and anyway so the report will be pretty good I think Jess that was a private conversation

do you believe in love any two honestly I wrote this question what ghost inspired the 2012 film when the lights go out what ghost I mean let's name all the famous ghosts we know Casper Jess, your turn Nearly headless Nick I mean you know Casper's film was called Casper

Subtitled When the Lights Go Out Here is my report On Casper. I don't know what ghosts Casper 2 When the Lights go out Back in the Habit Thank you

The ghost was the black Monk of Pontefranc I don't have one more crack at that You are mispronating the word Monk Yep I knew I was off to a bad start

when I said monk wrong. I love that TV show. Monk. Don't you do... Hang on, you do a podcast about monkeys. The word monk is there. Okay, thank you.

That's going to help a lot. Even if you have to say monkey and they just kind of whisper the E. Okay, good tip. Thank you. The black monkey of pontifract. The black monk of pontifract. All right.

This was suggested by Will Orlando White. Cool. And you know, you can suggest a website to look at for a good resource. I know, yeah. I clicked on that website. Did you? It said,

not available. Oh. Network connectivity issues. Was that the first sign that you shouldn't do this spooky topic? Yes. But he persevered. Honestly, pretty much. He's so brave.

Against better judgment. It is, it is a pretty spooky topic. Here we go. Okay. In the year, 1966. No, fuck you, no. Say it. Say it.

No. Dave, do you say it? A genuinely good year. Yeah. Saints Premiership of you, no big deal. All right. And the English football team. And something else someone told me recently, but bloody hell, jam-packed year.

All right. In the year, 1966, the British, The Pritchard family moved into a new home at 30 East Drive Pontefract in Yorkshire. England is crazy. It's so crazy. Crazy. England is crazy. They have streets and everything.

Yes. I mean that's... We're sort of through the scariest part now. I'll just go through a bit of detail from here and then. Yeah, thank you. Because I shat myself. The Pritchard family was made up of a husband and wife named John. one Jean.

Bloody hell, the Jay names today. Hey? Your name's Jess. Three years. He's just figured that out. I picked that up before, yeah. Their children, Diana and Philip and Jean's mum, Sarah.

Strange things started happening soon after they moved into the house. Joe Jean and Diana were away for a long weekend. And teenager Philip, he wasn't interested. He was getting a bit cool. It was about 15. He's like, I want to stay at home, mum, dad.

I'm too ultra-family holidays. And then you get to 20 and you realise how expensive holidays are and you're like, can I come with you please? Oh, definitely. The only reason I went to China. Free trip. I met a panda. You met one.

Yeah. Touched his ears. It felt like a dog. Dog fur. You met a panda. Yeah. God, your life's interesting. He was cool.

My favourite animal. Love him. Top five moments of my life. Top 10 I've had a great laugh Actually it was a pretty horrific 24 hours I had food poisoning

I was vomiting all night But I was not going to miss my opportunity To meet a panda Hope you didn't pass it on They don't eat very much They don't make bamboo spew of you They eat heaps of bamboo Which is basically

No nourishment at all So they have to spend 18 hours a day eating Ah it sounds like the dream Why are you laughing Dave They're my favourite animal their life is pain. Sometimes I think you're an evil doll. Well,

someone's clapping that. So we keep him in a little box. Let me out. And then I nod at people to acknowledge their presence. It's weird if it's a downward nod, terrifying. If it's an up nod, cool. Yeah, Annabel was just like, sup.

I'm stuck in a box, whatever. Yeah, but down nod, fucking spooky. So, yeah, so... Sorry, sorry about that. Philip stays at home, but the parents leave Nana Sarah at home with him to look after him. Sarah spent the day inside. Classic Sarah. But while Philip was out, gallivanting around.

Betty was. One article threw in a bit of editorialising and said, probably doing, you know, teenage boy things, drinking, smoking weed. Yeah, probably. Out of nowhere they said that. It's probably same as kids of today. Like, it was real weird. Anyway.

Hey, he's 15, he's probably wanking in a bush somewhere. I was going to say, on a street corner. I like how you both went into your personal histories for the answer. Oh, to be young again. I missed that corner. So Sarah stayed at home. Philip was out, but it was a sweltering hot day,

which has been unusual for, For England, right? Yeah, so it was like 20. Yeah. Like, oh, heat wave. Look after the elderly. Why don't you just grow a pair? Bit sexist.

Just a bit sexist. Sorry, a pair of boobs. That's going to make you way hotter. I like that. I've got a warm chest. I just work. But a little haters. Yeah, they keep the warm in.

All right. We don't have time for this. Boops are just little radiators. Yeah, what an idiot. So it was a sweltering hot day, about 20, 22 degrees. But there was no breeze, so no relief, right? But despite this, inside... No breeze.

That was a creepy laugh. No breeze. Muhraud. All right. Yes, I control the weather. Mouh. Something wrong with them. What I imagine happened was

someone went over and said, do they radio? But despite this, no breeze and she was inside, despite this all day, she was feeling cold air brushing against the back of her neck. Right, so she had a fan on. And then, oh man, that is spooky

because you know when you talk into a fan that makes your voice all weird? That is spooky. You should have heard her neck. It sounded so weird. I don't have to read the next paragraph Later in the day Philip returned home and he walked into the living room

to discover a powdery substance falling from the ceiling and covering the carpet We've all been teenagers, am I right? All right All right Just casually implying that he's doing drugs again, all right Sarah Could have been talcum powder, Dave

Could have been asbestos Do not snort asbestos. Learned out the hard way. I didn't. There was an awe. Like, oh, she makes more sense now. Yeah. Sarah called another daughter of hers over

to see what she would make of it and also help with the clean-up. Sure. Her daughter, Marie. When she arrived, she went to the kitchen to get some cleaning gear, but on entering the kitchen, she slipped on a puddle

that seemed to form out of nowhere. Alex Mack. GC161. See, you think... Yes! So maybe it's the... It's not the Black Monk, it's the Black Mac. Black Mac of Pontefrecht or whatever it is.

Definitely not saying that right. It sounds a bit like the Nana pissed herself in the kitchen and had to blame it on someone else. Oh, where'd that puddle come from? It wasn't there a second ago. Apparently then puddles started to form around, I don't know. Oh! She had a big night. Yeah, nah. Some yellow, some green, some brown.

Alright. It was a big nun. The green was foaming as well. That's true. Okay. The water company was cold and they couldn't find the source of the issue. Powder puddles? Not very normal, but maybe a little paranormal. I hate you.

Question mark. Things settled down later. Well then say it like a question. Maybe a little paranormal? There it is. I normally ask questions by just saying questions. Mark at the end. I know.

Is that not the right way to... That's not the right way to do it, question mark. Can I have coffee, question mark? And they're like, yeah, buddy, yeah. We'll get you coffee. Yeah, it's never caused any issues in the park. He's back again. Things settled down, and later Sarah was watching a little television

when she heard Philip shouting that she was going down again from the other room. Did he say that? Is that... Are you paraphrase? She's going down. Yeah, no, this is all... And it's like language?

Swear jar. Even though they're in absolute turmoil. She hurried to the kitchen. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. The kitchen was a complete mess. Yeah, there was a teenager in there. Am I right? They're pigs.

You guys might have found this as well. These kind of stories, they don't seem to be reported on by Britannica or any of those kind of sites. Yeah, it is interesting. But this next paragraph is from, creepy ghost stories.com. Dot com. They got in early.

The worktops had tea leaves and sugar all over them. They both stared in disbelief, and as they did, they witnessed the tea dispensing button being pushed in and out, and watched on as more tea leaves will are released over the countertop until it was empty. But the button kept being pushed. Sarah, now starting to feel scared,

started shouting at it to stop, but it didn't. although I assume it eventually did it's probably not still clicking 52 years later over the next few hours things remained weird a light switch turned itself on in the hallway

when they went out to hear what a bang was all about it was a big bang they went what's this and the light went on fuck that if you guys can act tough but this shit is fucked banging noise were heard as well

as uprooted plants turning up on the stairs and the pot was at the top of the stairs and usually the plant was in the pot at the bottom of the stairs. I don't even think you guys get how fuck this is. The plant was in a different spot. Crockery cupboard started to shake violently. As soon as the boy went over, Philip, just open it, it stopped.

Things calmed down eventually and the two were getting ready for bed. Philip was in bed. What? What? Why are you still in the house? I'm going to bed? Oh, okay, well it seems like it's less spooky now. Time to turn in.

Time to torch the fucking place. I had the exact same reaction. Why did none of these people burn things? Burn it all. Keep it for a museum. So yeah, they were going to bed. Sarah went to Philips' room to say good night, but when she got there,

she found that a chest of drawers started violently thrashing from side to side, fearing for their lives. they're like, I think we'll sleep somewhere else, and they went around to Marie's house to stay the night. I mean, that would have been my call three minutes in, I reckon? Yeah, one light goes on without me explaining it. I'm out of there.

Yeah, and I'm torching the place. Yeah, I'm burning down my entire apartment building just in case. I don't think they'll be that mad. Once I explain. I'll explain. I couldn't remember putting that light on and it was on. And then they'll give me a medal and say thank you. You really saved us.

You probably could have told us you were burning the house. rather than just doing it. You sure someone else in the house didn't turn it on? I mean, I haven't checked with the other people in the house, but I don't remember doing it. Where are my matches? When the rest of the family returned from their holiday from Devon, Sarah filled them in on the weird events they had missed.

The family was sceptical. Philip is like, I'm never missing a family holiday again. Yeah. It's calmer. But the family like, oh, okay. Yeah. And then nothing happened. They got home and it just stopped for two years.

But in 1968, things got freaky again. Probably even freaky, to be honest. Started up in a familiar way with strange banging sounds and cupboards vibrating. The family joked about it, even giving the nose a name, Fred. Oh, Fred's at it again. Not wild. Torch the place. The local press gave him a different name, Mr. Nobody.

They're like, he's got a name, it's Fred. I guess it could be Fred Nobody. I thought, Mr. Nobody, it is kind of a dismissive name. Like, oh yeah, you've got a ghost, yeah, Mr. Nobody. But it also is a pretty freaky ghost name. I reckon, it's not a bad ghost name. Mr. Nobody. Imagine him, he's got like no face or something.

Things escalated, according to an article on another cracking website, the 13th floor.tv. Registered in Tuvalu, Craig, so you know it's good. Activities seem to pick up when the Pritchard's had guests over. I'm going to show off. Mum used to tell me off for showing off when we had friends over. Oh, fuck, I hated that so much. I was like, sorry, you're boring and I'm trying to entertain.

Are you just shaking crockery? Stop showing off. Well, yeah, were you doing any of these things? So plates would fly through the air, banging would get much louder, the local police were called in and multiple... Banging would get much louder.

Is that what you were doing? Nice. The police came around and several officers apparently reported seeing objects fly through the air and furniture flip over by itself. And that's from the 13th floor.tv. So I believe it.

The Huffington Post listed some other inexplicable events like Greenfield. foam like I was talking about before coming up from taps and toilet. That's just a big night. Objects being thrown around and levitating, photographs being slashed with a knife and even family members being slapped. That is the best prank. Fred? Fred did it. You can just slap your dad in bed. Run away, you think it was Fred. I'm trying that. I'm trying that.

Getting slapped by a ghost is very funny. funny. Well done, Fred. As the police seemed helpless to stop the weird goings on, the Pritchard's called in the local church, Catholic church, who performed exorcisms on the house. This seemed to piss off the ghost, though. And this is from the 13th floor again. Instead of cleaning the house of spirits, the exorcisms

appeared to irritate Fred, making him more violent. For a time, Fred turned his attention to the religious items in the home. Crucifixes would be found on the ground broken into pieces. Inverted crosses would appear on the walls, painted in red and black, even though there was no paint to be found in the home. That's a bit weird. Do they have any paper in the home? Dave, do they have parchment?

Very specific type of paper. And a quill. Yeah. Probably in 1966 the weirder thing would have been if they had printer paper. It's just like a big thing of reflex. Yeah. That'd be weird, wouldn't it? To this point, Fred had remained invisible, but this was about to change.

One night, Jean and Joe woke to see Fred standing at the edge of their bed watching them. They stared back at him silently as he can... He stared at them, they stared at him. Staring contest. You blinked. And now he has to leave. That's the rules. Got him.

High five. That was a terrible high five. I'm embarrassed. Try again. There we go. Look at the... elbow like that guy said thanks that guy it's the only thing he can say it's the elbow guy what a beautiful moment then hey what a beautiful moment all right so appropriate um

he was wearing black robes oh so this is where the name came from but it was dark yes so they could have been navy blue that's true could have been a dark gray very dark red true like a crimson but in the in the in the dark bedroom i assume They're not sleeping with all the lights. Well, I would be, actually. Depending what Fred wants you to do, I guess. Yeah. He can turn on the lights.

All right. Or turn them off. Oh, that'd be handy. It's like having a clapper ghost. Fred. Yeah, it'd be good if he was a helpful ghost. That'd be all right. I wouldn't mind being haunted if they could, like, get me stuff.

So is we're in roads. The remote's so far away. Fred. Thank you, Fred. He's wearing black robes, hood covering his face, and that's the description that gave him his famous name, the black monkey of Pontefranes. I mean, they also had a coat rack at the end of their bed, and they just hung up their winter coats there, too, the night before. But, no, fair enough.

It was a weird coincidence, but... He was getting more and more violent also at this time. Their daughter, Diana, was even dragged upstairs by an invisible pair of hands. clutching at her throat, leaving finger-mark bruises around her neck. Torch the place. Seriously. That's sort of, that's the most famous, that's the most famous haunting, the most violent. Other ones with hands include floating gloves, like they're conducting an orchestra. I said 164 beats per minute, not 170.

Gloveless fingers. Cloughless fingers is floating. Hey, as a demand for that product, someone's going to fill it. Someone's going to fill it. But you people didn't back my possible campaign. Unbelievable. Visitors also would cop it,

so they'd see the shows, but they'd also cop some of the violence. You said they'd see the show? They'd see the show. You'd put on a show plates, dancing hands. Spirit fingers. Spirit fingers. All right.

Chopsticks on the piano He's doing it all Some of the guests would get Scratch, some would get strangled Some would get slapped You'd stop visiting, I reckon It was 1966 No, you'd come over to my house this time, I reckon

It was a different time, you know No They still had fire There was only three channels So burn the place So who is this monk? One researcher reckons he's figured it out He deep dived into it

And he found that in the area There was a monk who wore similar robes In the time of Henry the 8th And he was charged with murder and hanged And he was hanged in gallows That were right across the road Right From the house

Because ghosts can't go far, can they? Seems like it. Seems like it. Seems like one of the rules I'd have to ask a demonologist But I think that's true So anyway, they stayed there for seven years Seven years while... What are you doing?

Absolutely not. But after these seven years, it seemed to quiet down, and that's when they decided to... Sell? Well, they couldn't sell. No one would buy, but they did move out.

When it started to quiet down? Yeah, isn't that? It makes it feel like it's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it, really? But the house has been frequently visited by paranormal investigators ever since, and there continue to be reports on weird goings.

One of the best photos that have been taken in the house was widely publicised in 2016. It's just a nice family portrait. Was it, ma'am? No, it was a photo of the monk. Oh. I'll see you of a different photo. They got some professional portraits on there.

It verve, you know, the ones where it's like glamour shots. It was one of the... I know. The guy took the photo. They are good. If you're ever down at like a high point or something like that, I'm always almost signing up. Check them out, yeah.

So, we should do one together. Well, let's talk about this later, but I think this is a winner. So the photo is, the guy took the photo, and he didn't notice it at the time. But when he got home, this photo was a lot darker than the others, and he brightened it up. And in the corner of the photo is a mirror. And in that mirror, there's a thing that could kind of look.

It really, it does, it genuinely looks like a face. But I mean, I imagine millions of photos been taken in this house, and this is the first one. I was like, oh, that tiny thing in there. Maybe Fred's camera show. In 2012, a film called When the Lights Went Out was made about the events at 30East Drive. It was directed by Jean Pritchard's nephew.

Family Bloody loves it. Strangely, as that film was getting promoted, the black monks started to stir again. Oh, what are the chances? He's attending the premiere. No. A producer of the film even bought the long empty property and organises screening in the house for cast and crew.

But according to English tabloid newspaper The Daily Star, the night could have been attended by another special guest. One who goes by the name... Sidney Portier. Fred, Fred, I was thinking, Fred. Oh, okay. And Sydney Portier. And this is...

An Academy Award winner. Yeah. He loves film. The girl, the actor who played the young girl in the movie said it was pretty uncomfortable, which I can imagine. Is that because the film was terrible? Yeah. She could not watch it back.

It did not come up well. And then she burnt it. Yeah, finally. This is a quote from The Daily Star that suggests that maybe the ghost was in attendance. Several people reported their mobile phone suddenly running out of battery. That is fucking spooky. Several. Several.

Not everyone. But several people's batteries ran out at night. Yes. After using their phones all day. Whoa. How do you know all of this? Were you there? No.

Anyway, believe it or not, I forgot about that. But that is the spooky note. I'm ending the report. Yeah. So I think that just... Does that bring us to the show, Dave? That does bring us to the... There is one thing.

I got a little surprise for you. that I thought last time we did a live show in Melbourne or last time about a year ago we did a live show you humped and headbutted a water mountain seeing this is the Halloween special I got a a little surprise to you I cannot wait to see what this is Dave would you do the honest I don't think finish of the show I am now committed to that watermelon and my doctor did tell me if I ever headbutted another fruit, I would damage my brain. I don't know if you... I've got a song...

What's you say? It's a gourd, mate. It's a humpkin. Yep. Nah, pay that. When you're ready, Dave? Look, I appreciate the effort that you've gone to. Can you film this?

Yep. All right, what if I make you a deal, Matt? I'll hump it if you headbutted. I got a special song for us. Is it wrong? Is it? I swear this has context. I don't remember what it is.

How did it yet? I don't know. Welcome to the newcomers. Let's see where this goes. I can't believe I did that again. Look, I will attest to it last year. I've watched the film back for me humming the watermelon.

It looks like I don't even go for it. I really headbuttered it. Made no mark. I reckon you really headbutted that. There's zero, zero evidence. Are you okay? No regrets. Well, they probably didn't go how we played, but we did it, we did it.

I reached it. Well, that does bring us to the end of our spooky Halloween special ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for coming out. Yeah, seeing us off. We're heading off to the UK first overseas tour in like, what is it, two weeks? Two weeks from now, and when the episode comes out, only a few days. So thank you so much for coming out. We have a big round of applause for everyone at HALO for hosting us.

Rub on sound, thank you so much. Some t-shirts left so if you want to grab a t-shirt you can grab those you can have a chat to us and say hi Yeah, just gonna say hi and there is also like if you want there's another jug there that may be for snacks and magnets and There's no pressure but like there's an expectation We will be selling a signed pumpkin to the highest bidder. Oh yeah if anyone wants a pumpkin I've got I've got one to give is it that one? How did you go? But that is the end of an other episode of Do Go On.

Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen. We'll see you next time. Good night. Later. Bye. And we're back. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. I bet some of you missed what we do in the studio.

The magic. Oh. Oh, very good. Have you been working on your. I've been practicing, yes. Now, let me just say after that live show, I feel our bon has been officially voyaged. Yes.

Oh, yes. My voyage feels very bon. Trey bonn down in my voyage. Your voyage? Oh, my voyages are feeling very bonn. Okay. That was so much fun to do that live show. And then we hung around for quite a while after talking to so many people.

I have felt guilty ever since. There was a couple from Horsham, I think. Horsham. Who we said we were going to come out and get a photo with and then I didn't see him again. I don't know if they got lost or whatever. I'm so sorry. Message me or something and I will drive to Horsham.

I'm going to kidnap Dave and Jess and we'll get that photo. I don't think it's kidnapping if you tell us. No, that's probably not true. I think if you say, I'm kidnapping you and you take someone. That's still cancer's kidnapping. Yep, no, well played. Past me. So, yeah, I'm really sorry about that.

But it was so cool to meet you very briefly. And everyone else we met, had some, such a good, fun time. Met so many cool people. Because everyone was very, very nice. Our friends who took the pumpkin, Tommy and the gang, who took the pumpkin at the end of the, after the show.

Yeah, what happened to that pumpkin? They said they were going to take it on an epic adventure. Yeah. And I believe they did. I believe they did. I believe that pumpkin had a good line. Yeah. I think so too.

Rest in pieces. Jeez, thank you to everyone who has come along. It's got us very excited for the... Roasting pieces. Roast pumpkin. But thanks to everyone that came along. We're very excited now for our UK shows. It gave us a bit of a bit of a taste.

We're leaving in a couple of days. I have not packed. No, neither. Do you pack before the time you're leaving for the airport? You weirdo? Yeah, some people start like a week before. It's like, what if you're going to need to? need something in there, surely.

Like, I've packed all of my underwear in here. It's like, okay. I haven't brushed my teeth in a week. My toothbrush is right down the bottom. You're an idiot. The first thing I put in there. Toothbrush. And all of my clean underwear.

And my jammies. I've got five new brand spanking pairs of underpants. Overshare. Looking forward. You're real pants, man, aren't you, Dave? Oh, yeah. And some new pairs of socks. Nothing nicer than a new pair of socks.

Nothing nicer than a new pair of socks. Yeah. The feeling. That is, not looking at him, just feeling them. Oh, yeah. Hashtag, relatable. He's doing that weird squinty thing he does when he says something dumb. Sometimes you just know you've nailed it.

Anyway, we are very, very excited. It's going to be a lot of fun. Now, we are back in the studio at the end of this episode to do some great time Patreon business. Yes. It is time. for everyone's favorite segment. Fat quote or fat quote of question.

Fat quote or fact quote of fact quote or question. Back quote or question. Widget the World Watcher. Someone tweeted saying it does sound like the Widget the World Watcher the jingle when just dings it and sings it. What's Widget the World Watcher?

I have no idea. Oh, right, thank goodness. I felt like an idiot. It was from when I was in primary school. Oh, when you were a boy. Yeah, it was a cartoon about, it was a super messagey cartoon. There was a purple alien who was here to protect the world,

could shape shift into different things, and it was all about protecting the environment, I think. Lame. Widget, the World Watcher. It was a big time for about a year and a half. Anyway, this week's fact quote or question comes from a Mr. Justin. McCain.

A place a silly game. When all the kids in the street, they like to do the same. Fuck. And he has, he sent through one, when the segment started, it fell through my holes in my system. And now we've got two fact quote of questions from a Mr. Justin McCain. Oh, a double, very good. And which means he got to give himself two different titles.

Firstly, the old original title is Justin responsible party boy, McCain. Oh, I love that because he's still party boy, but responsibly. He's got a sash. Yeah, and... Walks around the party. Hydrolight for everyone in the morning. Oh, what a legend. I fucking love that.

Orange flavored? Of course. Yes. Guys, I just don't want to tell everyone the punch has still not been spiked. Continue partying. And here's, first fact, corrobor question is a question. And the question is, so I'm reading this one. phone and it's going to take me a little bit of skill here.

If you had to have a contest against one person from any episode, you'll have done so far, who would it be, what would it be a contest in and why? Helen Keller, fist fight. Oh my God. I see. I see. That's not my answer for sure. I mean, again.

It's mine. What? No, I don't want to double up. I'm saying, I, oh, any competition. I mean, you kind of want to take someone on in a contest that it, you know, for me, you want to give him a fighting chance. So I would take on, give me, you give me a person from a past thing. Ernest Shackleton.

Ernest Shackleton. All right, I'd take him on goal kicking comp. Aussie rules footy match size Sharon we play it like sort of like that basketball game Donkey only we play it around the 30 metre arc of the footy field I can't kick 50 metres let's do it from 30 and yeah fuck he probably beat me I reckon I could kick 50 if I believed in myself

and I do and you do big time yep some say too much who who says that who Greg from accounts. I'm going to fucking kill Greg. I know. I think I would challenge. Here we go. Annie Oakley.

Oh, two? A hoe down. I think you'd be in with the fighting chance. I think I would like to challenge her to a gunfight, knowing I would lose because I just want to watch her. I'd like to learn from her. Yes. But you know, the next thing. she'd be asking you to put an apple on your head or a cigarette in your mouth.

And I'd trust her. Yeah. She's amazing. I would, but I'd still be like, oh, no, it wouldn't be fun. That'd be the weirdest feeling. Like, your teeth are about to be shot out of your face. It would be a wild feeling. And I'd love it.

I feel alive. So that was part one, and that was from months ago. So sorry about that, Mr. Justin McCain. The second is from a man named a Mr. Justin McCain. And his title now is Mailman of the podcast. He's so practical and useful. I love it. Always positive.

Yeah. And this time he's given us a fact. It's a very short and sharp fact. It's a fact I learned relatively recently and it's one of my favorite facts that I've learned in recent times. And that is, as he has worded it here, wombat's poop is cubic. As in. They're little little. Poop cubes.

Poop cubes. Do you know that? That's cute. Isn't that wild? God, they're cute. How? What a great powerful butt. They must have a square anus.

Yes. Wow, I didn't know that. You're square. You didn't know that. I didn't know that. I thought that would have been come up. I wonder where I learned it from. You love wombats.

I do love one. It's my favorite animal. I know that. And I love poo and I've never come across this. You do. He loves poo. It feels like this is our. Venn diagram or visa card diagram.

And I pay attention to you guys because I love you. Oh, just for purpose. Don't follow that. Hey, you're the middle of our van. You're a wombat poop. Wow, thanks. As in a cube. I'm a square.

Well, you're a 3D square. You're a monster. You got more depth than a square. That was a great fact and then a great question before that. Thank you, Mr. Justin McCain. One of our longest supporters. What a legend. Thanks so much, Justin. Now, at the end of the episodes, we also like to thank some people from Patreon.

And to kick us off, Jess, what are we going to do to thank these people on a Halloween special? Well, I reckon, and this is your...

entirely my idea and I'm taking all of the credit. I love it. I think because it's a Halloween spooky kind of episode, we should give people spooky names. Yes. That was my idea. That's a great idea. And I'm claiming it.

It's weird how defensive you're being about it. Yeah, it's a good idea. And I get all the credit. Yep, it's all yours. So Matt thinks it's a good idea. Dave, what do you think? I think it's a fine idea. Yes, I'm taking that.

Fine, it's a fine idea. He's saying that like a posh person would. That is a. Which is the same as great. Yes. I say. I say. I say.

A fine idea. It's like someone's just suggested we go out hunting. Oh, fine idea. Oh, I do say yes. Oh, yes, old sport. Light up the pipe. So yeah, let's give him some spooky names. Okay, well, can I kick it off?

People are like, I was yelling. There's a few people who tweeted about blockbuster toad. They're like, surely the obvious one is not blockbuster tofa grace. What do you mean?
