Hello and welcome to another episode of Do Go On My Name is Dave Warnicki and I'm here with my regular charm Matt Stewart, hello Matt. Just a regular charm.

Just a regular charm. No pee, just a charm. And we are joined by our... Jess Perkins. I'm afraid that Jess is away. So we've had to sub in an regular charm, but she's looked at our guest and you were really shocked. Yep. I've been in the room the whole time.

I know, that's the weird thing about it. I was like, anyway, Jess, why'd you keep responding to Jess? Well, I'm a really Jesse voice. Well, that's true. I do generic dumb guy voice. Playing the role of generic dumb guy, if I can introduce you properly, it is our friend and frequent guest and collaborator.

It's Nick Mason. It's me guys. I'm the Zepo Marks of this podcast. Zepo Marks, he's the one. I guess he's the replacement one. He's the replacement one. Who'd he come in for? See the funny one?

No, he's not the funny one. He was like the, he's renowned as like the, well, he's renowned as like the background marks brother. He's just there sometimes. Right, making up the numbers. See, someone die or something? I think he was the, he was one of the original marks brothers. So he's a genuine white.

Genuine brother, so there's, I don't think, yeah. Look, I don't have any more information. He was one of the original Marks brothers. So he's a new guy. He's a genuine brother. So there is, I don't think, yeah. Look, I don't have any more information. Well, that was a very short report. I was hoping you guys had done a Marks brothers episode. So we haven't done a Marks episode. You feel in the blank. It is in the hat, I'm pretty sure.

I put it up to the vote ones, but they didn't choose it. Got defeated by what Charlie Chaplin was only. It was another brothers episode. The right brothers. Smothers brothers. The mother's brothers, the mother's murderers. That's good. Anyway, it's great to be here. It's great to have you back. Thank you. It's great to be out of the house.

You've been on some holiday, though. My little head a little wake off. It's been great. What'd you be up to? Sleeping and doing other podcasts wow see you're fun for life it was like a great holiday you don't really holiday I'm a staycation man you take a big holiday at comedy festival time and just you work harder than anyone at the festival because you see all our shitty shows they're great shows so great shows yeah back yourself.

Are you going to take in a holiday to go see my show with Alistair Trombley Berger from Two on the Thing Tank, another Planet Broadcasting podcast which you are like the head poncho of sort of? Yeah, not really, but yeah, let's. You're like a figurehead. In this, yes, exactly. I like the mascot.

Yeah. I'm like the Mr. Sparkle of, you can buy an official light bulb that does form your face exactly right Mr. Sparkle as they said in the symptoms That's favorite symptoms quite is just the two words Mr. Sparkle no, oh Mr. Sparkle three words pad me Yes This is a rock solid start look. it's very early in the morning. We normally do this show at night. I've normally been awake for more than a couple of hours.

Look, on the one hand, this is probably the earliest anyone's ever recorded a podcast on a Saturday. But on the other hand, maybe this is like the golden hour for podcasting. Right. Once we get into it, we produce the best podcast anyone's ever recorded. So we just got to push through it. Somebody just got to push through, got to push through, yeah. It's always, yeah, I've heard that. There's sort of a mythical thing, the golden hour of podcast. Yeah, that's right. It's 9 o'clock.

On a Saturday morning. And once you get through the first tough five minutes of awkward banter, it really opens up. What are we up to? Here it is. Oh, jeez, we're up to four minutes 30. We have a fair number of ideas. We are about to open up. Get ready everyone.

All right. Feeling good. I'm going to kick off the report, should I? Well, I think we should wait for this, the opening up, but sure. Well, I think I think I might come inside with this question. So the way the show works, Dave, for those new to it, Mesa, you might be a bit rusty. I haven't been on another while. That's right. But it's great to have you back. Mesa, you might be a bit rusty haven't been on another while. That's right.

But it's great to have you back. Good to see you. Are we doing Miss Jess? But you know, it's nice to have a break sometimes. Everybody needs little holiday. Wow. Except Nick Mason, who doesn't go on holidays, never. Always on.

What? Okay, yes. So what I was saying is, the way the show starts, is with a question. To get us onto a topic that you've reported on Mason and I don't know What topic this is and I traditionally ask the best questions Which I'm gonna continue on today

Why break with tradition? I thought about asking a shitty question with an open-ended answer There could be like many different things. It takes us about 15 minutes and people at home are yelling I've already read the arching subscription. I know what it is. But I'm like, no, I'm not gonna do that. I'm once again gonna ask a rock solid question. Only possibly one answer. Are you thinking of the question right now?

Is that what you're feeling? What winged creatures presence is believed to foreshadow tragedy? Winged creatures present tragedy. Is it some sort of black bird? See, all right. So maybe there's two different answers. Okay.

That's still a fairly narrow playing. Yeah. So the other one obviously. Oh yeah, all the best trivia questions have two possible answers. So you can argue it later. It makes it more fun. So it's not the other one obviously. Oh yeah, all the best trivia questions have two possible answers. Yes. So you can argue it later. It makes it more fun.

So it's not the black bird. This is a creature that sounds more like a character from some sort of a comic book that may so much like, but it's a real life thing. Superman. But real. He's, oh wait, well I mean, look, I think you've confused correlation and causation there.

He's often at the scene of disasters, but he's stopping the disasters. He's not, he's not causing the disaster. No, I reckon Superman's like one of those fire bugs that's actually in the fire brigade. He's doing all of the crimes just so he can save the day. He's always throwing an asteroid at us so he can stop us. Yes, it's sort of a bitch. Are you, but you, Mesa, you know that Superman doesn't have wings, right? How else does he, no, he's got those big red wings, right?

How, how does he fly? No, he's got those big red wings, right? How does he fly, man? Fuck, I don't know. Alright, I think you guys, sounds like you guys might not know this. Have you heard of the Mothman? I'm aware of a film called the Mothman Chronicles. Yes.

I don't know anything about it. Is it the Mothman Prophecy? Yes, that's what it is. That's what it is. I said yes. Evidently, I'm not familiar with the Mothman prophecy. I'm going to say how many Mothman movies can there have been? Have you guys seen that movie?

No. Richard Gear. Richard Gear. No, I haven't. Well, that's based on this true event. Oh my goodness. I really hope that we talk about Richard Gear. Well, I mean, you've already digs then of what I've got written down is it was turning

into a movie starring Richard Gear. Have you talked about Richard Gear? That's all I need. and what I've got written down is it was turning into a movie starring Richard gear. Hey, we talked about Richard gear, that's all I needed to say. And a lot of ways we've already covered that one off. So this was suggested, this is weird, right? You know, in the hat how we have written down everyone who suggested it? Yeah. The column was blank.

I'm like, what the fuck? Anyway, I searched through Twitter and found these names, but there may be others from email and other things. I'm really sorry. Including Richard Geir, who asked to be your name? I don't know. I don't want to start with the conspiracy theory, but I think the morph man may have deleted people's names. Let's scratch the man from the hat. From the hat, but also possibly from life. I don't know that for sure. These people know look at me. I've also possibly from life. I don't know that for sure.

These people know look at me. I've got to stress that. I don't know that for sure. You can't confirm it either way. No, but I think it probably definitely has. Probably definitely has. Yeah. Okay, so these are the people who I did find

to have suggested it. Elvis Nalasco. That is not a real name, but it's a great name. The Mothman has changed someone's real name. James Smith to Elvis Nourasco. He's at Kryptonite. And only the Kryptonite is spelled with a zero and a three and an underscore.

Right, because at a 15. You said that Kryptonite. And I thought, wow, he got in early. He did not get to know me. He got in super late. Super late. Oh, Jesus. Guys, it's another superman episode.

Let's do it. Woo! You just got people excited. My suit don't do that. Now with Mothman. Is Mothman a superhero? There's a character called Killamoth. He's a Batman villain. Oh, no! He's like a terrible Batman. He's like an evil low-ranked Batman. But this Batman just put the bat signal into the sky The Moths like damn it and he starts flying towards it and he's done That's funny Dave. That's a comic book joke, I can't believe I've got one. If you say something funny than that today, I will be very surprised, that was really good.

I've been trying really hard now. Guys, the podcast's opening up, we've hit the golden moments. Yeah, exactly, we're opening up, this is good. We're peaking at the right time. Who else suggested this? Fidel Reyes, he got in quicker at Fidel Reyes, underscore Tyler Thompson at Tyler Thompson 23 and Chesley Russell.

And I said, I double checked that. I'm like, they've got the L and the S around the wrong way there, but not Chesley. Chesley Russell at Chesley Scott. I like that name, Chesley. Sounds posh. Doesn't it though, yeah? Chesley. That's my posh. Mmm, Chesley. Hmm. Sounds posh. Doesn't it though yeah? Chesley. That's my posh. Hmm. Chesley.

Guys I'll do it in my dumb guy voice. Oh my. That's a very good chance that's been edited out. Yeah sure right. I'm gonna keep referencing it. You want that in? You want right. No, I want it. It's got. In West Virginia, on November 12, 1966, the other Saints won their only premiership. Five grade. I won't say a good year because Jess is not here. But it was a good year.

It was. It was a good year. I think it was the second time I've referenced 1966. I love it. And the second time you've referenced the Saints. And we were second. Emma. Yeah. And yeah, never talk about them. I didn't make the fun this year and I'm pretty happy to just leave.

Leave that where it is. On the 12th of November 1966, five grave diggers were working at a cemetery digging a grave. A grave digger. Is this a spooky episode? Same spooky already. I mean, this probably is a spooky's a guess. I mean, it's grave digger. This is a spooky episode. Same spooky already. I mean it's this probably is the spookies it gets. I mean it's grave diggers. What else do you want? Then all of a sudden they saw a winged human-like creature fly over their heads.

This is thought to be the first known sighting of the creature now known as the Moth Man. Wow. They saw wings. They saw someone flying and they thought, that's a moth. Well, no, they didn't name it, it wasn't named to later. Later that week, on November the 15th, a couple of couples, Stephen Mary Millett and Roger and Linda Scarbury. Were they digging graves? Were digging graves? Very good. On a romantic double date. Afterwards they went for a drive, maybe to a make-out point, probably not. I don't know, someone said that, love is lane. But I did, maybe the street was just called love is lane.

And I interpreted that as being like an old school 60s, you know, dogging scenario. So what dogging means? Someone explained dogging to me not that long ago. Anyway, where were you when they were explaining it? I think I was on a gaming game. The show about, anyway, this is, we still in the golden hour. I don't know. I don't know. I'll never have to go to the golden hour.

I'm sorry. It's the golden minute. So they were from Point Pleasant in West Virginia or so. They were out on a drive when they saw what they later described as a large flying man with 10 foot wings whose eyes glowed red and he was standing on the road. They're obviously a little scared by it, so they swirved around and quickly drove away.

At least they attempted to, because seconds later, the creature was back in front of the car. No. That scared the shit out of them. So they floored it and traveled up to 100 miles an hour back towards the township of Point Pleasant. But they didn't run it over. They didn't run it over.

Yeah. As they drove though, the creature followed behind them, cruising along. I saw some people saying it was just like running at a cruising's pace along the road, but keeping up with them at 100 miles an hour, others said it was flying overhead. Other people said that he was driving at Datsun 1600.

I thought you said you didn't send the movie. A lot of the movies that guy with big wings of driving around in a Datsun. Broom, broom. It's a wrong one. What do you reckon, scarier? So on flying in a hundred miles or so on running in 100 miles behind you? Because if they're running, I'd be really scared of them. Yeah, the running feels scary.

That's so quick. That's like five times as fast as you seem. But also, 100 miles an hour, that seems like a made up speed. Like we got out of there at 100 miles. I know you didn't. You can't even do 100 miles an hour. You drive a Datsun. And I'm a Datsun.

And I'm a Datsun. Yeah even do a hundred miles in a year. I'm a dad said that's it's his dad. Yeah They drive 55 back back in the day. Yeah old 55 look I think this store is full of holes already. I'm the skeptic. I'm the I'm the Unicorn I'm the Skelly this this time around I'm the fucking Malta and I'm so unbored all right Then I guess I'm you know doggits doggit see the narrator now do You're a no- Doggit. See the narrator? Now, doggit was the David Decovney replacement in the later seasons. Okay, yeah, I'm doggit. Well, you could be...

And I'm a believer then as well. Yes, you could be our Walter Skinner. You could be Skinner. He's our boss who seems skeptical, but actually he's on Moldos team the whole time. Maybe I'm that worm guy who goes in through the drums. I'm gonna be the Fluke Man. Fluke Man.

Can I be the Fluke Man? Can I be the Fluke Man? You can be the Fluke Man, okay. I want to be a recurring character. Like, you are on this show. Yeah. You're the Fluke Man 2L show. Go to the Fluke Man. I'll go to the voice.

It's my Fluke Man, well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I think this story's full of holes already. But, well. So they're probably drunk. Knowing, knowing. I'm going to 60s drunk driving with everybody in this in this episode thus far is drunk But gravity is a drunk the couples are drunk. I don't know. The moth man is the moth man is definitely drunk He's got those red eyes. You can't drive a hundred miles per hour drunk

I just can't so I think they weren't drunk and that there was no holes in the story classic decov me I'm gonna fill in the holes Scully. As the cartoon, Classic romantic tension between other and Scully, I'm so rich. Will they? Will they?

Will they? Will they? Will they? Someone inevitable. Someone even doubted it for a second. As the cartoon decoiner, the creature once again blocked their path. So this is after, you know, driving 100 miles

an hour. Around a corner. But rather than standing this time, it lay on the road to the couples. You'll never go around like a protestor. Mothman writes now. He changed himself to the front of their car. To the couples, it kind of resembled a lump, like a dead dog or something. But they knew it was the creature. Still on board over here. And they figured it was some sort of a trap, like it wanted them to come closer and investigate. This creature could seemingly move at the speed of light.

They thought it turned into a lump on the road to trick them. It was clearly a wily beast. Well, they are no longer on a drinking alcohol now, extremely high. I love the idea of them like thinking that this thing can just, it can move it basically as fast as anything, but somehow it's planned to pretend to look like a dead dog on a road. So that they... They'll get out and investigate.

Get out and investigate. Oh, look at this dead dog. As soon as you start seeing him, it didn't work. So, yeah. I mean, I kept standing in front of him and that didn't work. Whatever my mysterious objective is. As soon as you start thinking about, you'll start turning on each other. Like, Mary in the back seat

It hasn't said anything for a while Mary's the mom I knew it have you seen the moth and Mary at the same time? I've never have but I've been looking straight out the window because I've been driving this whole time So how to look and see the moth up in the sky and Mary in the back seat at the same very hard to do Also in the sky how how high is the sky, you know what I mean? Yeah. Foot off the ground, doesn't count.

Doesn't count, no. Could just bench jumping. They're talking about 50 feet off the ground. Okay, that's significantly higher. I'd be more scared if it was managing to fly just one foot off the ground the whole time. That's true, I mean. It's like hugging the road.

Early hoverboard. Incredible. Or it's just waiting for you to blink, and it just pops. Hops. Helps in between blinks. Have you seen there? Sometimes people do those photos online where they're jumping on a broom. Yes. They get the photo that looks like they're flying very fun. Very fun time. Let's do it after the show guys. Let's do it after the show. Let's pause. All right,

we're back. We've just taken those photos. Didn't work. Yeah, we snap. So you'll never see them. Snap several brooms. Worth it. So many. We snap so many. photos didn't work. Yeah, we still have to see them snap several brooms Worth it so many we snap so many I couldn't even pronounce words several anymore. I now have a Bad injury that's distracting me the broom one up me Wow, it's that romantic Tangerine talking about earlier Scarlett you're a doctor. Can you get this broom out of my ass? Oh Will they will they will they? So they didn't fall for the trap. The work constructed.

Dead dog. Lump trap. And they continued driving back to town at speed. Heading straight to the cops to report the incident. On speed as well. Yeah, they're a rip cocktail of drugs that are on. Later that night, they returned back to the spot where the beast lay on the road this time with the deputy sheriff in tow. Oh that's a long drive out there with the sheriff isn't it?

I know the pressure. I promise he said it's a dog but it's not a dog it's a moth man. It's a moth man playing a trick. It's another prank by the bloody. I mean we wouldn't go near to examine it because that's part of his trick. Yeah we're not idiots idiot But when look if you could just we'll get there just pump some bullets into it And then we'll leave then don't examine it. Please. Please That's what it wants and if you want us more than anything just give us the key to the city Yes, it's just take a parade. It just wants attention It's so far. That is what it sounds like. It's like standing in front of the guy Just want to come off mouth man. No one's interested. I just want a friend

When they arrived the lump was nowhere to be seen And a mysterious pile of dust was in its place like a moth possibly Is that what happens to moths? Well, that's what happens. Mothra. He makes he makes like poison dust So that's probably it's my closest reference. I don't know anything about moths, but I know a little bit about Mothra Mothra like he's is he like Godzilla's friend. He's like Godzilla's friend. Yeah Do you think Godzilla's involved probably? Wow I mean, I didn't that's not in this rapport. Oh, well,, this almost, already I feel like there's a sequel coming on to this. Godzilla, man.

Yeah. Flying 50 feet. Yeah. Over the coming days, many more sightings were reported, and the sightings began getting traction in the local press, mainly being ridiculed. The sightings bulged. Hey, they wrote about our mouth. But it was in one of these news reports that the creature was dubbed Mothman.

Possibly, um, I read that it was possibly because Batman was popular at the time and they needed a name to differentiate. Is that what the TV series? Uh, Batman, that was in 1966-ish. Yeah. I think yeah, the movie was 1966, so. So yeah, apparently that was, it was big time back then. But I'm, what was the the what was your Batman's mouth? I'll kill him off kill him off wasn't in the CV series too threatening yeah mr. Freeze he was in there I really really egg head egg head that sounds great mr. Freeze in the TV series yeah Arnold like the Arnold Schwarzenegger similar at all to him no he was more he was, he was just a, he was just like a delightfully pleasant man with a phrase

gun. Right. It was very non threatening. Did he have a thick Austrian accent? No, I just irregular accent. Stick to the character. Was he a super camp? Yeah. Oh yeah. And the suit was orange I think. Great. Yeah. Tots. Oh yeah. Not like a, not like a beekeeping outfit than a, so I want to derail this episode just about Batman now Louis the lilac is another bad man. Louis the lilac and what a wall lilac This is thing I'm really running out of ideas. Yeah, probably costume department's got a lilac pants and a matching jacket Look Louis. We're any created any bad guys created specifically for the show that weren't from the comics? Louie the lilac.

King Tat. King Tat. The curse. The famous curse. It's right. It's come back to Hornacea again. Don't even hear that guys, but the doorbell is just wrong at the studio. Is it some sort of mouth? Man.

You had me at mouth. You had me at man. What if it's a man at the door? I'm not going to get it. It's very threatening. Let me tell you, especially if there's a man at the door. But if you just open the door and there was just a mouth, it's unpopping at eye level. I'd be terrible. I hadn't connected that moths hover as well. Do you think that could be related? Do you have to coincidence? So do you think that's something? It is a coincidence. Oh my god My blood just ran cold like a moths Cannot confirm a place a month's blood temperature?

You can't confirm it. You may as well, bloody, be... Moth man. This is a big, very wide one. This is a big, very wide one. We're all trapped in this podcast studio. One of us is the Moth man. We'll find out who it is by the end.

Wow. It could be anyone who's here. But it can't be me because I pointed out the theory that it could be one of the bad men. That is classic Mothman. He's a trickster. No, no guys. This is lump on the road all over again. In a few seconds you'll be a dead dog in that chair and then we'll know. Oh man.

I've got a really bad accident. And that makes it not make a dead dog. And then you'll be a mysterious pile of dust. If I can quote the earlier part. Please. Nick don't. mysterious pile of dust. Like, you quoted the earlier part of that. Please, Nick, don't. During the next few days, other people reported similar sightings. Some say they were more than 100 sightings, but this number seems to be greatly exaggerated.

The big believes in the Mothman always talk about this number of 100 sightings. Hmm, 100 miles an hour. 200 people have been affected by the Mothman. 100 seen him directly. Some of them just felt his presence. Oh my goodness. And then, but yeah, then other more skeptical sources are like, no, that's not right at all.

Is silly fucking believers. But I mean, I don't know. Who's really silly in that situation? The people who believe in a large, moth man, creature, or the people who think that that's bullshit. Clearly the latter. Yeah, you open your heart, you know? I've been hard to knew ideas. You're only on this earth for, you know?

I mean, if you're the moth man. Three days? Several hundred years. Oh, no! I went the wrong way. I don't know. That's the thing about Mothman. No one knows. I mean Moth, Moths would only live for three days. But man as a guest. Man up to a hundred. So Mothman obviously you multiply. 100, 300 years. 300 years.

Yeah. Yeah. I think that's that's how it works. So Batman, that's why he is lived. 300 years. Yeah, I think that's that's how it works. So Batman, that's why he is lived. But I found out recently on your podcast that there's new Batman. You're not man. It's been a Batman. Yes, so that's the plural of. Yes, Batman. Batman is Batman. Yes, it's like all the A's to E's to pluralize the world.

That's right. It's like the Italian. Yeah, that's how Batman is the... Batman is the... ...Malto Benny, because I wanted to. to pluralize the word. That's right, it's like the Italian. Yeah, that's how Bani. Bani is the... Maltoe Bani, because I wanted to. Oh. But yeah, so, alright, this is a side checked again. Sorry to the people who don't give a fuck about Batman, I just want to hear about

Mothman, because there's probably some people who are listening to this podcast for the first time, because they're really fascinated about Mothman. If you made it this far, I'll be very surprised to be honest, but still, I apologize, but I've got a question about Batman. You already. So Bruce Wayne isn't the only Batman. How so? Robin becomes Batman.

Correct. At some point. And some other guy becomes Batman. Oh, there's my hips at Batman's. What? Yeah. He had a little, he had a little back injury in the 90s. He was replaced.

And you reckon that, what do you know back injury sub someone in? Yeah, he sub someone guy in in I can't go on my back So you can be Batman. Hey, Randall you could just get in there That guy's name was rando. No, it was not it was it wasn't rando. Wow. That would have been great Well, we'll talk we'll talk it's an I'll talk about off air But it's been so many betmins now This is a sizzle for when you come back and do a Batman episode. You got to do a Batman episode. I got to do a Batman episode.

If we get at least three tweets about it, send that by a high. A man named Newell Partridge. Newell? Newell. Look, I'm- No, I'm not questioning it. I'm just praising it. I am questioning it. I am questioning it because the partridge is the natural enemy of the moth. So whatever he's going to say is going to be very suspect.

That's true. Well, he said he came across the creature, and when he shined his torch at it, his eyes glowed red like basketball reflectors. Pfft! Ha! Some say. Can he turn his indicators on and left?

I can still hear the moth man. Ring ring ring ring ring ring His eyes glowed red like basketball reflectors and his wings spun around. His wheels spun around like he put her into fourth gear and with a lorry. He also believed the creature was to blame for buzzing noises from his TV and the disappearance of his German shepherd. Oh man, you can blame a lot of things on it. My dinner was cold last night. Moth man!

That's so good. I wrote, I'm like, I assume you're gonna make a funny joke there, but I wrote the same one just in case. Was it also cold? I said, well I said, he also blamed his chicken cacciatore for being a little bland. We both went food, very good. Do you reckon Noel is in West Virginia is eating chicken cutlet or a I reckon you I picked the in various short amount of time the thing that sounded the funniest to me. It's funny. It's a classic It's a comedy meal

If you want to if you want a real peak behind the curtain, I change it it from Parmesan and I went, I reckon I can do better than this. Maybe I spent too much time on that one word. Not on the report. Many attributed. Imagine if you built the entire report around the funny chicken dish in the middle. Everything spun out of that. I think I was singing about birds a lot because a lot of the skeptics say what people were seeing were birds.

They never like singing chicken bikes and birds. They'd never come across a bird in West Virginia in that time. They hadn't migrated that far west. A couple of volunteer firemen had said it. They'd seen what they thought was the moth man but it was was they were pretty sure it was just a large bird with red eyes The county sheriff George Johnson believed the sightings were due to an unusually large heron Which is another kind of bird and a West Virginia University biologist dr. Robert Smith From the cure. I was gonna say from the cure

Said that the descriptions were all consistent with that of a large bird called the sand hill crane with a seven foot wing span and reddish coloring around its eyes Though they are not native to the area Unlike the moth man. That's right Robert Smith took some time out from his ongoing thesis that boys don't cry and Well, that's I'm looking at pictures of the hair and that doesn't look that scary, if I'm honest with you. It's got a weird little neck. No one's thinking that's it. And they're a little neck.

And that's standing in the middle of the road. Yeah. That doesn't look like a man. And that can't turn into a dog. The mysterious, I reckon that could become a lump. Could definitely become a lump. If you hit it with your car, sure. In an interview with IGANI, if you want to know IGANI, the game.

Video game, the website, okay. So they're pretty good source. Yeah, they've been around longer than I thought. Yes, well, no, they're 66. This was around the time the movie that we did talk about before in 2002 was coming out. They interviewed Lauren Coleman, a cryptosuologist, which is like a, I think it's like an expert in mystery animals. So the ones that believe in bullshit. Yeah, yeah, it's spread it around.

But if you haveologists at the end, like UFO orologist, UFOologists. Yeah, like a friend Stanton Friedman. Yeah, the Friedman. Stanton from a, who was a big Roswell believer. Anyway, Lauren Coleman talked about how Keele, if I mentioned Keele yet, no, so that makes it. All right, let me try that again. I moved a few things around. Okay, so in an interview with Ajahn, Lauren Coleman, was talking about this man John Keel, who was called to the area to report on the sightings.

He was a journalist, but also a bit of a believer, a bit of a UFOologist, et cetera. And he was, he was. Yeah, let's throw UFOs into this as well. He did. Nice. Good. I don't go too much, but there was a bunch of UFO sightings

at the same time as well He was like it's a bloody hotbed Yeah, paranormal activity Quisperton kill was like this is it felt like he was talking about it like it was that you ever watch Buffy Yeah, the hell mouth. He was talking about like yeah, right. Yeah, just crazy. She's happening here according to that I gen report and crazy shit's happening here. According to that I gen report and Coleman's interview as Kill began to gather information he found himself getting more deeply involved in the events. To the extent that according to

Coleman there were entities that communicated and use a phone. What do you mean? I don't know what that means. Bring, bring, no! An entity. Yeah. Someone's talking to me on a phone. Well, you can interfere with the TV broadcast. You can make it a bit fuzzy. Yeah, so maybe you can talk on a phone.

He's part man. These just sound like people that are just terrified by technology. Oh no, the fridge! It kept my chicken catchatory quite cold! Coleman went on to say that Kill, Kill fan point present to be a vortex of phenomena, the hell mouth that have idea, and couldn't really tell one from the other, one phenomena from another. Phenomenon.

It was a scary situation for John, couldn't Coleman. Yeah. He'd begun to give, he'd begun to be given prophecies by the entities. Via the phone. Via the phone. I assume he means people, just people are it.

Anities sounds funner. Yeah. He would be, he'd begun to be given prophecies by the entities he was dealing with in point pleasant. One of these said that when President Johnson turned on the Christmas lights at the White House, the whole Northeast was going into a blackout.

Oh, no, they did not check the fuse box. That was one of the prophecies, right? And then on December 15th, oh no. When President Johnson turned on the Christmas lights, John Keehl was in his apartment in Manhattan, New York City, I believe. Waiting for the blackout with his bottled water and his batteries. Nothing happened.

So he just enjoyed some bottled water battery soup and he got on with his life. No. Six minutes later, on the TV said across the bottom it said bridge collapses across Ohio River and he just freaks out Apparently, that's just like a blackout. It's just like a back blackout across the whole Northeast. Yeah Kill freaked out because the bridge in question was the silver bridge which crossed the Ohio River between Galapag Between Galapagos, Ohio, shadow, Ohio, and I got in there. Crosses from Ohio to Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Oh no.

I mean, it's a more, what's a coincidence, it's more like a big coincidence. A big coincidence, yeah. It's the month man taking out the only bridge in town, so you can't leave. But I love the idea that he's gone. That he's gone. He's waiting for one thing. He's like, oh, this other thing.

This could be what this is what it was. Now, see, if he wasn't in his apartment waiting for the blackout, he wouldn't have seen it on the TV. So that was the, it was like a coded message. I think so, yeah. He was a decoy to get him to watch the TV Like they're I mean the prophecy could have been hey over the phone Hey mate watch the TV tonight at 8.06. Yeah, but that would have been too straightforward

That would have been cryptos biology enough had it feels like we're almost all playing a skeptic Can one of you guys believe in this? I'll be a believer now. Thank you Okay, I'm cuz I do as well, but I need one of you to I thought one of you was believe in this? I'll be a believer now. Thank you. Okay, because I do as well, but I need one of you two. I thought one of you was. I was the skeptic. I'm a believer. I am the believer. Oh, sorry.

I just wish that the prophecies were a bit more straightforward. Okay, great. You can believe, but also ask for a better product. It's very true, yeah. I think that's a lot of work. That's okay. Yeah, exactly. Like my Apple products, we should have a bit better.

Better in life, you know? Believe in them. Tell me about that. It's going to be better. When the, like tragically, the bridge collapsed during peak hour, 67 people fell into the river 46 died. Two of those bodies were never found. According to Coleman, several people who died in that small town bridge accident were related

to witnesses of Mothman. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. In that very small town. Some of the people who died were related to people who had seen Mothman. Yeah, the Mothman knows what's up. That is amazing. Isn't that amazing?

Dave? I'm out. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Thank you. But just give me a sec. Thank you.

I just needed to process that because I'm just mind blown. I'm just going to say I'm blown. I got excited, okay? When the bridge collapsed, people started connecting the Moth Man to the tragedy, which makes sense because it was clearly connected. Are you working way too hard for way too little?

Keele John Keele wrote a book in 1975 called The Mothman Prophecies.

Oh my goodness. Claiming that the sartans were wrecked. Claiming that the sartings were precognitions and premonitions that the silver bridge was going to collapse. Since that time, some have claimed that the Mothman has been sighted before in other cities, before other big tragedies. Some saying it was sighted before 9-11. Jace! Finding very little evidence to back that up.

Apart from a couple of people saying some say. Yeah, right. They saw the mother man. Yeah, they saw a big winged Creature in sky just before the 9 11 Traveling one foot off the ground at a hundred months per hour Yeah, but I don't I haven't found nothing to back that up. Anyway, so that was the book that I was telling you Did find something to back that up? What would become of me? Exactly.

That's right. Good thing you didn't. Good thing you didn't find anything to back that up. Next thing I know, I'd be going over a bridge. Oh no. I haven't seen the Muffman Prophecy, it's much like you guys, but I do hope there is a scene with Richard Geer

holding a bunch of batteries. I have 600 nobodies of water watching TV going, it's happening! I think because I wrote the book later going yeah yeah it's all I was assigned they told me that the bridge was gonna collapse by you know the batteries it was all definitely a little bit of rewriting history there. It was pretty pretty easy to get your book made into a film about 15 years ago. I mean, did Hollywood run out of ideas? No, now they've run out of ideas.

The turning Hollywood's got endless great ideas. That's what I meant. Oh yeah. My phrase that weird. The term to book about a guy watching the TV and saying, that's what I meant. And they made that as a way to get rid of it. I think maybe that was the era where they...

Mothman prophecies does sound like the kind of movie that your grandma gets tricked in the bind because she knows you like the Batman movies and she's like, oh the Mothman, that's it, it's gonna like that as well. That's why the movie exists. That's a $2 shop. Yeah. Yeah, it looks kind of like Batman, but you look closer. It's a Mothman. With a 7 meter wingspan,

and it converts a transforms into a lump on the road. On the road. You have to buy the road separately, but bloody hotcakes. While Keel believes that the Mothman sightings were warnings of the bridge collapse. Another theory suggests that the Mothman may have actually been part of a century's old curse. I love a good curse. This is the other big theory.

In the late 18th century, a Shawnee chief name Huckleess Squaw, sorry about the transition there, anglified into that translates basically to chief corn stalk and was he was brutally executed with his son and a few others when visiting Fort Randolph on a diplomatic mission. Skye apparently a real good guy, initially he was like fighting white settlers off but then sort of came he was trying to bring peace diplomatic mission some a whole noxim off there's a story mainly again not heaps of evidence to back us up that when he lay dying the chief said I came to your house a a friend, and you murdered me.

You have murdered by my side, my son, and for this, made the curse of the great spirit rest upon this spot. May it be blotted by nature, its enterprises blasted, and the energies of its people paralyzed by the stain of our blood. And that curse has become known as the curse of chief cornstalk.

It's incredibly articulate as you lay down. I know, right? It's a little time. I don't think there's any references of the time of that quote. I think it's sort of come around later on. But anyway, this website, blumhouse.com. I think it's, you know that one? No.

I think it's like, it's like some horror movie. I see. Blumhouse. Blumhouse.com. So I think it's like a horror movie. I say Plum. I'm gonna base one house to come some I've gone to some pretty rock solid You've got us some dark places. Are you ever gonna emerge? Is question. Have you ever accidentally visited bumhouse.com? Oh, I have. That's great. I'm all right. I'm looking at it. Here we go. I love This is my month man prophecy. I reckon that this it. Here we go. I love, um, this is my Mothman prophecy.

I reckon that this is a sexy, sexy website. BumMass.com, you're like, no, it doesn't exist. Oh. BumMass.com. You guys have to buy it now. Oh, damn it. We'll have to get that. If there's any internet, so have you picked one?

Why would that be the weirdest never porn site in BumMass? That's the, that seems like the osiest now for a born side. Bum house. All right, well if anyone out there is at bomb house. If you're an internet savvy person you want to get that website that

would be so good. Bum house. Anyway, so they listed tragedies that have occurred in and around the area. These include December 6, 1907. In the nearby county of Marion, the worst coal mine disaster in American history took place killing over 360 mines. So this curse is so rampant, it's going to other towns now. Yeah, it's going to nearby towns. Wow!

We said this, I mean at the time maybe he didn't know... He didn't know where the lines were. Yeah, the county lines were going to be. That's true, yeah. April 21st, 1930. Fire rips through the Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus, less than 80 miles from where Chief Cornstalk was killed. Reports say the prisoners burned to death in their cells as guards refused to let them out

while the fire engulfed their penitentiary. By the time the flames were extinguished, around 20 people were dead. Wow! I just locked them up, they didn't let them out. Yeah, what a, that's a nightmare. That's brutal. June 1944, the region was rocked by a series of deadly tornadoes, the incident, which lasted two days left 134 people dead. August 10th 1968, 9 months after the Silver Bridge collapse, Piedmont Flight 230 crashed on its landing approach to Canawai Airport, located 30 miles from Mason County, 35 people killed. November 14th 1970, a southern airways DC-9 crashed into a mountain nearer huntington West Virginia just over the Maxson County border, all 75 on board were killed.

March 2nd, 1976, a man walks into the Mason County jail in Point Pleasant with a shotgun on a bag full of dynamite. But it's a recipe for disaster. He asked to spend the night with his wife who was being held after murdering the couple's two-month-old baby. He detonates the explosives, leveling the jail and killing five people, his wife and himself. January 1978, a trained dervada.

The evidence just continues to build. Isn't it, though? Point present, dumped thousands of gallons of chemicals. The toxic mass seeped its way into the ground poisoning several wells. Oh, this moth man's in everything. Wow, he's a shapeshifter. This is on the Mothman. This is the chief's curse. And the Mothman was somehow manifestation of the curse.

The curse, yeah. Which it in one moment, potentially. April 27th, 1978. I don't know if we need to keep going on this. A cooling tower being constructed the Willow Island Power Station collapse, killing 51 construction workers. So there's a bunch of different things. I mean, I imagine if you looked at any place, not to be played the role of the skeptic here, I know that's your role. I'm a believer,

but you could probably find a series of tragedies in any place if you went like they did over a century or more. But, no, sorry. No clip to you. Yep, that's right. No tragedies. OK, this is a crazy outline. According to the article, the Chiefs Curse was believed to have a lifespan of 200 years, which explains one no other disasters

have been attributed to the Chief since 1978. Wow. Hey, how you guys feeling about this? I know you started out, skeptic. You started out believer. How do you feel about it now? You're going anyway, any theory? I mean, I've sort of thrown a couple of theories out here. Uh huh.

Curse. Curse shot. Come in to warn about a bridge collapsing. Yep. Profit sizing or Birds Why not all three. That's a good point Yeah, yeah, that is a good point. Okay. I'm thinking I'm thinking it's he was warning about the bridge because he has he been seen since

Since the bridge, so they still continue to see the mouth man Do you think the mouth man was trying to warn them about the bridge the whole time? Yeah, maybe he's the hero isn't it? Because the Mothman wasn't killing anyone. That's kind of just kind of what they're saying. Yeah, they're saying it was just sort of trying to flag down a car. That's the the key of theory. It was a key or appeal. Key of theory is that he was he was prophesizing he was warning the town. Yeah, because he wasn't hurting anyone was he was just sort of spitting, could he use these words? That's how I'd say use your words mate.

Do you think you being a weird moth man in front of a car is gonna make people think a bit over a year later that Bridges gonna collapse? Hmm. I mean, of course they should. Absolutely, they should. But you trust people too much. Oh, do Mary in the back seat was yelling that over and over again, but people were so paranoid

they thought she was the moth. Yeah, so they didn't trust her tragically. The bridge collapsed. Maybe the lump, maybe he was the lump, maybe the lump was some sort of interpretive dance situation. I love a lumpy dance. And they're supposed to go, okay, we're going to, if we run him over like a bridge. Right. And then they would have connected all the dots, and if you run over the lump,

it will turn to dust, much like the bridge collapsing. This guy's good. How could they not see that? Yeah, we're so stupid. And high. Yeah, well that was probably why. Yeah, exactly. Fools.

Driving a hundred miles per hour According to skeptic Joe Nichol a number of the hoaxes followed the original reports Oh, that's a bit of it using the word hoax. That's a bit of a spin there. Yeah, sorry to editorialize yeah Classic skeptic Showing his true colors there. I don't know if he realized it but he sounds a little bit like he He's he's got a buddy dog in this fight Sounds a bit like a skeptic the right phrase is there

Yep, yep Her David Letterman say that a lot and I really always liked it I've always wanted to say it out loud. That was a chance. He used to be like I don't have a dog in this fight Yeah, that would mean that he didn't have a dog. He was talking about dog fighting. Oh yeah. Yeah. Well, what a noble man. That famous David Letterman segment. Dogfight. Yeah. And he would say, I don't have a dog in this fight. This is the famous David Letterman segment. Am I do I run a dog fighting rink? Every week you do it. Every week you'd be like, no, good night, everyone.

Good night. The new album is out now. Is this anything? No, I do not have a dog in this fight. Those are when they merged two classic segments. Top 10 listed dog fighting. It's a top 10 times he didn't have a dog in the fight. So according to Joanical, these hoaxes included one time a group of construction workers tied flashlights to helium balloons. He also attributed other reports. He basically said

the Moss Band doesn't exist at all, which I don't even think we're discussing, right? We obviously it exists. Yeah, I've been turned around. He definitely says what level does he exist? Why does he exist? Why does he exist? Like we've moved beyond whether or not he does exist, it's about why. We've proved it beyond Rizal down. But there's Joker, Joe Nichol. He's stuck on level one, still trying to figure out

if he exists or not. And he seems to think that the Mothman reports are all due to pranks, misidentified planes. No one's thinking a plane is a moth man. Absolutely not. And also sightings of a bird owl. Shakespearean owl. Yeah, the bird.

Wow. Yeah, it was on sonnets. And I think that's why I thought maybe it was a man. But interestingly, it was actually a man dressed as a woman because at that point, women were not allowed to play owls. That's right. Thank God we're in a more progressive society now. Women can be owls, it's 2017. The town of Point Pleasant isn't an idiot.

I'd like to say that. Okay, if I may. They've begun caching in on the Mothman phenomenon. In 2002, the year that the Mothman Prophecy's movie came out, Point Pleasant held its first annual Mothman Festival. If you want to get involved, it's on in a couple of weeks. Really? Yeah, it's on the third weekend of September every year.

What kind of fun can you expect is what your eyes were sort of asking you. I'm sorry, key. Well, there's a variety of events, and these include guest speakers. Great. Richard Gere, guest moths. Hey, ride tours. Obviously focusing on the notable areas of poor pleasant. And also a mothman pancake eating contest. Very nice.

Wow, sticking to the story, I love it. They won't invent crazy little gimmicks. They'll only focus on moth-related events. Exactly. Where did the moth man get his strength? Seven hundred panca. A short stack. That's Harry got him. After the Ignore Girl Festival in 2003, they unveiled a 12-foot statue of the creature by sculpture sculptor Rob Roach Bob Roach Bob Roach Moth man Oh

I think he's the Moth man, yeah Bob Roach. Yeah, I didn't even see that that's so clear now. Mm-hmm I want a 12-foot statue even though all the reports that it was a 12 or 10 foot man. See that's classic Bob Roach behavior. Just just a little bit bigger. Two knee zone horn, you know what I mean? I think because if it's a American, it was probably 12 and a great lover. That's probably one of those.

If he built it to the right size when he stood next to it, people would have been like, oh, he's the son, yeah, it's right. And he's got big moth wings so Bob roach is 10 foot tall yeah 10 foot tall sculpture builds 12 foot tall statue he couldn't possibly be me hmm I'm too much shorter than this in 2005 the moth man museum and research center was opened so this town is basically stripped out any other industry. It is now a Mothman town. The milk bar is now the Moth Bar.

They live in a Moth and a Moth Economy. Moth Connolds. If you'd heard of Moth Connolds, I think yeah, if you would have heard the term Moth Economy. Yeah, absolutely. Well, that's very comes from. That's amazing. That's not these Moth Connames everywhere. Moth Conn. Yeah, absolutely. Well, that's very comes from. That's amazing. Yeah, they have these Mothconomies everywhere. Yeah, Mothconomies. Yeah.

It's nothing as one of the single largest mothconomies in the entire world. It is, yeah. Always ordering Uber Moth, you know, for transport and also late-night food. They record the Moth Story slam there? They do, yes. Every week. Every week. Every day. Yeah, Uber Moth. Yeah, you can shoot. Oh, Uber Moth and then Uber Moth Black. Yep. When you can fly there. Incredible. For Uber Moth X, you just cruise really fast on the ground. Right. Is it Uber Black? It's obviously a lot less dusty.

Yes. Uber Moth. It's a lot less dusty. Uber Moth X, you're also occasionally you'll have to turn into a lump. Uber black is obviously a lot less dusty. Yes. Uber mouth. It's a lot more. Uber mouth X, you're also occasionally you'll have to turn into a lump. It's right. So it does take a little longer to get from A to B. But it's cheaper, so. Yeah.

So I think it is worth it, even for the lumpy moments. If you turn this way too much, you do lose a little bit on the mic. All right. I'll tell you I'll look this way. That's good. I'll never look this way down. Never look at me.

Thank God, I'm excused it I'll look this way. That's good. I'll never look this way down. Never look at me. Thank God, I'm an excuse to never look this way ever again. Woof, don't worry, I'll, uh... No, no, I don't like this. I like how on the weekly planet, you just, you leave in any sort of, any chat about, can you just move close to the mic? Yeah, that's better, yep, like that.

So good. Feels like a real man. I'm some like, can we get away with that? He's a little peak behind the curtain. No, don't with that? He's a little peak behind the curtain. He's a little peak behind the curtain. Guys, sometimes we add those in. I'm fine, fine. I'm fine at the level of my front I am, but we're like, guys, we've got to be more relatable, you know? We're sitting there in our golden tuxedo's and we're like, how do we relate to the common man? Let's pretend we're having microphone issues. That's very good. We have to pretend we don't.

A little different, slightly different angle, but we're no pros. We haven't done 200, we've only done 98. 98. Yeah. So that's pretty much the report done. But before I finish up, I'll just talk briefly about the bridge again, because it said this bridge, some say that it collapsed because of the curse and the moth man had someone to do with it. And others say the moth man was warning against it.

So after the bridge collapsed, an investigation of the wreckage was carried out. It pointed to the cause of the collapse being a moth man. That's all, yeah, it's all I got on it. Well, that's pretty conclusive, I feel, yeah, I mean, I can't. You could have just, if you started with that, I would have been much more of a believer the whole time. If you just said, listen, this was Mothman course. Yeah, I wanted to keep that up my sleeve because, yeah, I thought a little suspense.

No, that's good. You've been a bit sturdier. So, I believe you were the scully there. And what happens on the ex-files is despite irrefutable evidence that aliens good, you've been a bit stora. So I believe you were the scully there and what happens on the exfiles is despite irrefutable evidence that aliens exist, including several encounters and abductions of yourself personally, that's true. You still remain skeptical 10 years after the first episode. It is tricky that she does that, how does she do that?

It's very strange. Molder aliens, I don't know about this, it's like you've been abducted. You know that. Anyway. That's a good abducted. You know that. Anyway, that's a good skeptic. That's classic. Yeah, you're so skeptical. You can't be you can't be timed Just like putting Joan Nicolore over again But also, sorry that I mean that was that was sort of a subsection of the report I did read another report into the wreckage

That I've really contradicted myself very quickly there subsection read another report into the wreckage. That, I've really contradicted myself very quickly there, subsection, then another report. Just go with me. The Mothman's making me say this. And that report said that the collapse was due to a failure of a single ibar in the suspension chain, which is due to a small defect. It was also found that the bridge was carrying much heavier loads than it had originally been designed for and had been poorly maintained by the Mothman. So...

I want to, like, if that's the case, then maybe the Mothman rather than saying it's going to collapse, just say, get the trucks off there. Make cars and bikes only. Check the suspension. Get a God block out there with a welding torch and maybe fix that ibar. Whatever an ibar. Get a new ibar maybe. Yeah, that's what I just, why didn't the , I mean, one of the Mothmenders bring a new ibar. Yeah, at a hundred miles an hour. You can't see it. It's a really selfish It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be. It can't be.

Oh, I definitely thought it was done, especially because about five minutes ago you said that's the end of the Mothman report. Well, I was wrong. We were all wrong. We can all admit we're wrong. There have been sightings around the place or around the world of the Mothman.

But this year, the Chicago Tribune has reported that it has had the largest amount of mothman sightings since point pleasant in the 60s. Wow! Paranormal researcher Long Strickler has chronicled 21 alleged mothman sightings in Chicago this year alone 2017. I cannot find any other grouping like this Strickler has said. This is according to the Chicago Tribune article, just finishing up on this here. The earliest of these sightings was on April the 7th in Oz Park. Strictler said it was reported to a colleague, manual Navaret, at UFO clearing house. We've got too many UFOs! We busted them out the door at crazy prices!

It's on the floor, it's out the door and it's a UFO. I mean We've identified them. They're not flying It's still an object. It's an object. Look. I won't lie to you there. They're rugs Too many rugs, but they're flying cap and make us an offer A woman working her dog. This is the first of these. I'll just tell me I. I won't go through all 21. I'll just go through this one. I thought it was fun. A woman walking her dog claimed she encountered a creature standing in the park. Oh no. This is what she said. I saw a large man. Probably seven feet or taller standing on the ground. Oh no. jeez. She's seen a big, big man.

It was solid black, but what really stood out with a large, and I do mean large, pair of wings that were folded behind him. I imagine that made him sort of out of sight. So, yeah. And what does she mean solid black? Did she perform some sort of biopsy to see that he wears black all the way through?

Yeah, solid blash. Yeah, she know. I don't know, I'm just quite I'm just quoting a very reliable source of it. So your quote is so believable, I thought you became her and I got angry at you and I apologize. That's okay, that wasn't it wasn't your fault. The accounts said the creature looked at the woman before spreading its wings and flying off. I guess that's when she probably filled the wing. Probably twig there.

Yeah. I should have read the next sentence. And this is her again. Oh, sorry Dave, so I'm acting. Right, sorry, sorry. Yep, yep, yep. I mean, feel free to go with it, but this is- You're a stupid woman!

Oh, sorry. Sorry. Didn't mean that at all. I felt like this thing could see right through me. Read me. It knew what I was thinking, like it could stare right into my very soul. It was the most terrified I had ever been in my life. Wow. I just wish people could see the acting that wouldn't your eyes. That was just a couple of months

ago. To ease. Has Chicago checked all their bridges and their tea-bone suspensions? I don't think so. Do they have enough bottled water and batteries just in case? No, no. Do they have one eye on the television at all time? Mm-hmm. To find out after tragedy is strong. Do they have a lover's line to get high at? Yes.

Oh good, okay, that's all right then. We'll be fine. Anyway, that was the Moth Man. Jess was meant to do the report this week. Uh huh. She's not here. Mm hmm. No one knows where she is. Question mark. Ah! Jess is the Moth Man. Jess is the Moth Man.

I've never done a report about the Moth Man and seen Jess looking at me at the same time. That's absolutely true, isn't it? So many questions. So now I believe neither of you are the Moth Man. Oh my God. But if the Moth Man is in this room, speak now for the whole gym dust. It's looked to your left.

Is there either Moth Man? Look to your right. Are they the Moth Man? If not, then you either the moth man looked you're right are they the moth man if not Then you are the moth man Oh my goodness. I think I do that at home as well If you could yeah, there's yeah, is this the worst episode we've ever done That was great. That was a spooky spooky story Harry spook Matt can you to say you wrote this late last night?

Slash your this morning alone in a motel room. Yeah, I've done that terrifying. Yeah, okay So I'm staying in a motel room Over the weekend. This is a pre-organized writing weekend for the upcoming friends at Sussan weekend interesting So I did that would not think I'd have to end up spending my time writing about a moth man Could you not see you come to the friend show up spending my time writing about a moth man. How could you not see that? So if you come to the Frinshow, I may have a bit about moth man. But I'm saying this mothel alone, I'm watching these documentaries about and stuff that are like really hyped up towards trying to make you feel spooked out.

And I was feeling weird. Not as weird as I felt as I checked in to this motel, two suburbs away from my house, and I had to sign in at 10.30 p.m. and had to write my address of two. And just be like, man, I'm not here on some sort of a sex thing. I know you think there's a sex thing

or that I've been divorced or something. I'm here for writing. I'm here for to pursue the creative arts. And he just winked at me. Nice. He said it, he told you I'm a, we get 20 of you and not. People come in, I'm a comedian.

Yeah, they're all bloody comedians, man. I'm gonna want our research project for comedy. I've got my friend coming over. She's helping me. With the research. I bet the Mothman. I bet the Mothman. You said that to the manager of this motel. Mate, they all talk about the Mothman.

They just check you, just check the box. It says up here for the Mothman. The Mothman special. Isn't this pleasure of Mothman? Mothman, okay. Oh, I love the Mothman and I do believe. I want to believe, I did want to believe at the start of the episode and now I do believe. Yeah, well, yeah, I, at the start of the research, I'm like, Mothman, this will be fun, but

it turns out it wasn't fun. It was bloody amazing. Terrifying. And terrifying. And life changing. Now, I'm going to be, I'm looking out for the Mothman and when I see it I'll know tragedy follows after. Just a little silence is he can think about the Mothman in your own time and how is affected your life. That's what I was doing in that time and he's affected
