Starting point is 00:00:00 Guys, sometimes I will say something and I will get that look and people will be like, that's a reach. I don't know about that. But I ranked allegedly. Let's just take a look at this news clip. Yes! Yes! All right, so you guys, welcome back to whatever the hell this is.
Starting point is 00:00:28 We're Melting Edition. Holy fuck. It is so hot. I'm so sad. I'm so angry. On the way over here, I was like, wow, this day couldn't get any fucking worse. I've had a rough morning. I felt sweat dripped down from my face, and it somehow went all the way down to my ass and then to my feet.
Starting point is 00:00:47 And I was just like, oh, here we go. And then Riley goes, I love it. I said, I didn't know that he was dealing with so much. And then I said, at least it's nice outside. He was like, this is my dream come true. We were all just talking about how people bitch about winter, and I was like, no, I said, California is too much winter for me. It's like 50 degrees at the coldest. Too cold, and too much rain.
Starting point is 00:01:15 We're in a historical drought, but yeah, too much rain. I actually don't even anywhere anywhere. I don't think we are out now officially. I think they grab the late. And why? Because there's just too much damn rain, right? Exactly. You know, I have PTSD about when it rains, something goes wrong with our house.
Starting point is 00:01:32 So it's just like both your bedrooms flood, like that kind of thing when it rains. Oh, yes. It's kind of like what Chris is dealing with, which is not fun. Yeah, first it was the mold. They took out the walls and then that was supposed to be it, but then it rained and it flooded both the bedrooms. Now they have to rip out the floors and it just keeps going forever. Are you at least documenting it?
Starting point is 00:01:54 No, he's not, which is. We all were looking at him today and he's like, I don't know what to film. And we're like, your apartment situation. I think we all came up with at least like five videos. I would kill for some mold in our house right now. Okay. Don't, be careful what you asked for. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:02:11 I mean, we are possibly going to be living in our trailer, so there might be mold in there. Okay, wait. Okay, first of all, we have so much to talk about. We do. Let me explain. Oh my God. Get ready. But what I will say is, no, I am not having a bad day. Sometimes you wake up and you're in a good mood, and then the universe is like throwing your curveballs and trying to ruin your life
Starting point is 00:02:32 and you're like, what's happening? But that just means a good thing is coming. And guys, this show is our good thing. Oh, the power goes up. I mean, I woke up, it was like I had multiple videos, copy written. It was just like a constant, like I was just trying to get here. And things just kept happening like that.
Starting point is 00:02:48 And I was like, what is going on? But now I'm excited. I'm with my girls. I'm ready to go. And we have a very special game plan that we're going to start right fucking now. Guys, this is not even a hello to anyone. Not even a hello. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Well, I had a great. Morning? What? That's what I'm doing this podcast. We are about to play. The secret task. I have texted everybody in this room, a secret task. And your job is to do it throughout the show with no one noticing.
Starting point is 00:03:19 That's right. We've played this a little bit before where we had everybody have a secret word that they were trying to get, you know, throughout the show. No, no, no. Sitting on a secret. Yes. So everybody here has a very different, unique task that is going to be really hard to do. in a group of people without getting caught. If you get caught, you lose.
Starting point is 00:03:35 But if you don't, throughout the whole show, you win. Ooh, what would be nice right now? Oh, it's so hot. Maybe it's sonic blast. Oh, we're in different universes. I don't know which ones you guys are going to know about. But right now, we're just going to kind of go around the room. Everybody's going to think about their task.
Starting point is 00:03:56 And on screen, we're going to have it show what their task is. Oh. Yeah, you read that, right. Okay. How was your morning? Oh, delightful. Was it really? I mean, I had a good morning. What'd you do? People are sick of me talking about my new adventure, so I don't need to go into it. No, I think you should talk about it. Well, actually, I think you should talk about it and maybe show it. No. I mean, I don't know if I'm allowed to. I had another audition this morning. No.
Starting point is 00:04:29 For something I'm really wrong for, like really, really, really wrong for. You hear that producer? I felt, I felt, no, no, listen, if they want to go in a different direction, I'm right here. Well, I am not with the breakdown calls for. It is an undercover detective playing a sports coach at a high school. In his 40s. In his sports. Mine is the 45, but I can totally say.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And I was like, this is definitely going to like a Chris Pratt type. Like somebody that is like a bigger, more massive. Like funny loving goofy dude. I'm like I couldn't be more opposite I'm like an angry gay man Wait can you do a little like team talk right now to the team Spencer He has to describe I have basketball in the scene and that was crazy I have to gogling what does a basketball I got it and I was like I might need to like Redefine what I'm comfortable going out for But then it's like challenging myself is good because it's definitely outside of my wheelhouse
Starting point is 00:05:27 So it's like I don't know I went and got coached for it, put it on tape, and sent it, and was like, here you go. I mean, if it makes you feel any better, there are times in the past where I would, because I would audition for anything back in the day when I was like really trying to be an actress. And there was a time where like, there was a Russian part, like, you know, like a mobster. And I was like, oh, I have no business auditioning for this. And like when I showed up to the audition, everyone looked polar opposite for me. Like, everyone looked like the type except for me.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Not Peruvian. Not Peruvian. Yeah. And I was like, I literally. I was like I should get my car and leave. I shouldn't be here. But I went in, I did it, and I ended up getting the part. So there are times you think you're completely wrong and you can still.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And that's why I was like, what? But you got the part. It's a part of a Russian? Yeah, it was like an angry Russian mobster. Well, they probably just changed what it was. Did they change it? Or were you actually playing a Russian? I was playing a Russian.
Starting point is 00:06:21 The thing. Oh my God. Yeah. I feel like times have changed. I can't do this. Sorry, that was my task. What? I felt so bad looking at Chris.
Starting point is 00:06:34 My task was to get offended by something and act really offended and I did it. And now I feel bad. I'm so sorry. I'm so bad of your acting journey. I was thinking like, damn, you're pressing them pretty hard on that. Wow. I can do it. I'll think of a new task.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Oh my God. My heart was racing. Why do I play these games? Wait, so then are we supposed to tell when we do the task? No. I know last time it was a little confusing. I'm just a baby. I'm a baby. Okay, sorry. I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to look it up.
Starting point is 00:07:04 We don't get a little taste of straight coach. Give us a couple. Give us the basketball line. No. Okay, let's see. Do it. No, no. You guys don't understand. It's out of context. We don't care about the line. And it totally goes with your outfit with like the stars. I wore this. It was a track. It said he's wearing a track suit.
Starting point is 00:07:24 That's the only track suit. Only drag suit I have. Holding his Ralph Lauren coffee cup. If you want a gay coach. I mean, I think like a tennis coach, maybe I could pull on. There's like a cheerleading show on right now. Yes, a cheerleading coach. Fuck it out.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yes. Well, Jared and Sandy, what are you guys up to? What's happening? What's going on, girls? Well, my day kind of started off a little rocky. Oh. Yeah. Well, Jared brought me a coffee while I was getting ready.
Starting point is 00:07:53 He got me with this like Trent Starbucks coffee. Well, I walked or I went into the car to like sit in the car. car and put my cup in and it like bumped into the stirring wheel and it just went everywhere. I didn't even get a chance to like taste it. So how's your caffeinated? So you guys, I'm caffeinated list right now. You're raw dogging life? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Crazy. But other than that, I mean, really just filming. Yeah. We've been filming. Thriftin. What is it? Bigdicks.com. Oh, dongcity.
Starting point is 00:08:23 com. I've been taking a lot of meetings. Haven't met the right. partner for it just yet, but Dongcindy.com's still huge, definitely. Stay's huge. Oh, yeah. I'm thinking about getting a billboard that says dongcity.com. Not what you think.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Ooh, that's a good billboard. Yeah. Spencer revealed to us that he has a messy bedroom this morning. What? Okay, Raleen's exposed to that. Okay, well, Jared and Cindy have a messy garage. Whoa, dude, dude, that's outside of the house, though. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:08:56 Wait, so why is your room so messy there? I don't know why I had to drag you like this. This is a, oh, air drop it. I forget the context. He was just saying like, oh, and then I said, oh, they're talking about their garage. Oh, their garage. And then I said, well, what happens when a girl comes over? Are you showing me first?
Starting point is 00:09:09 I just want to see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He wants to gauge the reaction. Oh, my God. Okay, can I be honest? I was just trying to like, yeah, it's not joking. It's not that bad. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:09:22 It's messy. It's not like. It's not like dirty. Yeah. There's a difference between dirty and messy, and it's just a mess. It's dirty. There's old dishes and so. Wait, should we bring back Roomerators?
Starting point is 00:09:36 Oh, yes. Do you remember that? Should we do that for Spencer's dating? He wasn't even alive for Room Raiders. Let me explain what it is. Okay, so Room Raiders, so here's what we're going to do. We're going to have three potential girls for Spencer, and they're all going to be in a van outside of Spencer's house.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And then Spencer's going to be in another van watching on a monitor, and each girl's going to go in his room and investigate his room and make fun of it and try to learn about Spencer through his room and then is that how it works? That's my favorite thing. That was room raters. They like decide if they want to date based on the room.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Yeah, it's not really how it goes. I kind of fucked it up, but the idea's there. But basically, yeah, girls going through your room. What would they find? That was a great show. Like, what is one thing that you'd be like,
Starting point is 00:10:18 please don't fucking find that. Let me think about that one thing that I don't want anyone to know that I have. Let me say that right now. Your dildo collection, Spencer? Oh, no, no. It's just one. You collect it for historian purposes, okay?
Starting point is 00:10:33 He's just interested. Yeah, just like wooden and weird. And it has, like, like, faces on it. This is George Washington. And you're, like, super passionate about it. Like, okay, well, I don't really do this. You've woodburned in your favorite quotes. My favorite quote.
Starting point is 00:10:50 No, there's no wooden dildo with faces on it in my room. I don't think there's any, like, one. thing. It's just my stuff everywhere, I guess. What did we do with our loob recently? Because I was just thinking like, what's something in my room? I wouldn't want someone to see it. Like, we all have that drawer. That drawer that you hide something in. Yeah. So like we, I don't think we hide our loop, but you know, we put it in the drawer. Yeah. But we were at a hotel. But Ryan Rylan lost his mind. I didn't lose my mind. I was just like, oh God, that's embarrassing. Because I didn't know they did like a turndown service. Wait, what happened? The loop was just on the bed.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Oh, they like put it out. And then we left it on the bed and then they put it on the nightstand. Oh, yeah, that's better. Next one, we're meant. This literally just happened to me because of my living situation because there's like, you know, workers coming in and out and like tearing out walls and stuff all the, all day every day. I keep trying to hide everything because we're living out of our living room. Normally, like, we're in our bedroom.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I close the bedroom door and I don't worry about what's in there. So I'm not used to having to hide everything all the time. And similarly, I left Lou about, like, right in the middle of the living room and like, nine guys walk in and walk past it like huge bottle of Louvre on the table and I was like But was it at least like a classy bottle of lube or was it like a big old gun show
Starting point is 00:12:05 Shub in my hands That one Oh no How did we get here? It's a slippery situation we're in It is Well speaking of I'm so happy you're okay Because you've been having some medical emergencies
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yes yes I had stripped Once again everybody I get strep like four times a year. Don't you get it from kissing? I did kiss someone actually. Whoop, whoop, whoop. Yeah, I'm actually seeing her again. And so she gave the strep?
Starting point is 00:12:37 I don't think she gave it. I get strep. I get it all the time. My tonsils are disgusting looking. They look off. They're awful. I still have them. I need to get them out, but I just keep like,
Starting point is 00:12:47 everyone says when you get your tons of that as an adult, it's like the most painful recovery of all time. So I kind of just like, do I want to get strep every few months or this? I don't know. More painful? Are you getting circumcises an adult because I bet you not as painful. I can't speak to that. I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Has anyone done their task yet? I did one. You did? I did even catch it. Mine's impossible. I've been doing it here and there. What about you guys? Did she just say good?
Starting point is 00:13:21 I said how about you guys? She said good. They look really guilty. Was yours talking about being circumcised? No. Okay. No. That one just happened.
Starting point is 00:13:33 It just happened. No, not just. It happened as an adult, though. It happened in real life. Your task is to get circumcised on the podcast. As an adult in high school, that is what happened. You got circumcised in high school? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:46 That's when he's 18. Yeah. That is so scary. Wait, what happened? Horrible. Oh, I won't go into the whole thing. But long story short, at my high school, like everyone to circumcise. I was embarrassed by it.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I told my dad. My dad was like, oh, Christopher, when I came here from Germany, a bunch of the women and my ex-wife all preferred that I was circumcised as well. So I went to this guy in Chinatown. He's fantastic. Let me take you. And like, it was a building that was falling apart. And, like, he injected me with numbing stuff that didn't work. He started cutting and the numbing stuff hadn't worked yet.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And I felt the worst pain I'd ever fell in my life. I thought I was going to vomit and pass out at the same time. It was brutal. And then, like, the recovery was awful. And then, like, I couldn't. I'm so sorry, but I wasn't allowed to get hard for a while. because when you get hard, it, like, will rip the stitches out. But, like, I was in high school and got, like, NRBs all the time.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Like, no reason, boners all the time. I thought it was an employee loco thing. Oh, my God. I feel so. It's BRC. Boner really quick. I feel so bad that you had to do that. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Brutal experience. Are you crying? Is that your task? You should have picked a different story. This is weird. This is weird. Is this it? Not weird.
Starting point is 00:14:53 It's horrible. How dare you? you. She's an empathetic human. Well, because isn't the point of the game to be called out and then you lose? I don't know what the point is. And if you're able... It sounds like that was your task. I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:15:06 If you're able to cry on command like that, you need to start getting into acting class too. Honestly, I wasn't even that impressive. We've been talking about it lately. Yeah. And I think I'm really feeling like a commercial actor possibly. He literally told me... Marvel Television's Wonder Man.

Starting point is 00:19:24 That's how cute. Looks like a little butt plug. I will never understand the purpose of a butt plug. I've had so many people explain to me. I still don't get it. Is it just decorated? Why do you want to plug your butt? I just felt like a dildos for pleasure.
Starting point is 00:19:37 A butt plug is what? Because it's not long enough to be like a pleasurable. It's not hitting your G spot. It's not like. What is? Maybe people like to feel full. They just like it's full while you're jacking off. I don't.
Starting point is 00:19:49 I don't know. I see reels every once in a while. I think it's because I'm on Spencer. There's like Wi-Fi here. But I'll just get a guy working out being like, nobody even noticed I have my butt plug in right now. I'm working out in the gym. And I'm like, what is this?
Starting point is 00:20:01 I don't know. Just straight guys use butt plugs? I don't. Seems like your own, your own recommendation. I mean, I'm not saying that's not something that would be on my reels. Oh, you're on butt plug real. I sometimes like stuff because it's like,
Starting point is 00:20:15 I like that someone thought they should post that. I like that they think like, yeah, people need to see this. I will say, I did throw out because me and Spencer have been in talks about possibly starting an improv crew or a troop is that what we call a troop
Starting point is 00:20:29 and I did throw out the name butt plug I thought that'd be a fun name Sandy said it's horrible You guys would be great for commercials She said there's no marketability Or we can just call it dongcity.com I do happen to have the domain That's the best thing to do it
Starting point is 00:20:44 Well people have been leaving the comments They're the DC gang The DC gang That's awesome Speaking of gang Did anyone else try to join one in high school? Just me? No, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:55 You tried? I tried. They didn't let you in. No. I wasn't in a gang, but I was in a band. Oh, really? Well, not really, but yes. We were called Final Warning.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Is this another thing that we're all supposed to confess? Are you lying? No. Are you going to cry about this? Probably later when I think about memories. But it was called Final Warning. It was going to be an old girl band like the Donnas. And my friend was going to play the, she was going to be a drummer.
Starting point is 00:21:21 I was going to play the guitar. other friends would be the singer. We never actually did it. But we talked a lot about it. We created late like stickers and the whole thing. Well, speaking of learning new things about each other, guys, let's play a couple rounds of majority rules. That's right. We're going to be going to be going to through some most likely two statements. And then we're all going to have to write down who we think is most likely to. And the majority wins. All right. Let's play. Who is most likely to flirt their way out of trouble. Ooh. This is hard. This is actually really hard. Okay. Three, two, one. Let's say me. Oh my gosh. I said a rock. I put Ryland also.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Oh, Jared is the most like effortlessly like capable of bullshitting in like a height. And he's just so friendly. Yes. And so like the cop would pull him over and he'd be like, listen. He'd flirt with a cop. Now wait what? Yeah. Well, I mean, we. Well, I mean, we did run to car the other week and he was flirting with the guy over the counter. Sandy called to get the days extended. Gayshah. They wanted to charge her $80 a day when I called $30 a day. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Bad of those eyelashes. Thanks baby boy. He does have good eyelashes. Wait, hold on. Why did you guys say Rylen? I thought Rilin because I've just like seen him in the wild just be, he's just very sweet with everyone. Like very, very sweet.
Starting point is 00:22:50 That's just naturally how you are. but it's so sweet that it's like, I don't know. I think Rowland's so sweet with everyone? Yeah, in the wild, yes. I feel like a lot of the time. I was just thinking like flirt. You definitely did not flirt with me. I'm not a flirter.
Starting point is 00:23:04 No, but you're loving. All right. Next, most likely to have their phone always at 2%. Oh, geez. I don't know who this is. That's interesting. That's an interesting. Yeah, that might assuade me. I'd have to jump on that one.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Three, two, one. It's Sandy. Yeah. Come on. Come on. Come on. Wait. Yeah, what's it at?
Starting point is 00:23:30 It's at 19%. That's still, it's red. It's not red. My phone will be at 2%. I'm still just be like. That's crazy. Her phone dies a lot.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Yeah. Every time she goes to Disneyland, like halfway through, I get a text, just so you know, my phone's on one percent. It's going to die right now. Yeah, I do. It's a bad habit.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I need to. Wow. I never would have suspected that. Yeah, we probably spent $500 a year on phone chargers and she's out and about and forgets a charger. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Okay. Who is most likely to send a text, panic, and immediately put their phone on airplane mode?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Hmm. God, this is a tough one. I feel like I'm on the traders writing somebody's name and putting a heart by it. I just love Ryland's confidence in everything. Make sure to spell it wrong. I love it. Okay. Three, two, one.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I put me. I love you. We're split. 50-50. Wait, really? Yeah. It was between Chris and Shane for me. Chris is my wild card on this one because I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Shane can't handle confrontation. I can't. It's getting worse as I get older. It's really bad. I'm so afraid of making anybody mad or causing any sort of anything that I like, I will let someone step on my throat and I'll be like, oh, do you want to go harder? I relate.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I think is worse because then like if you can't tell people what you feel constantly, then you're yourself building resentment for like things people aren't meaning to do, but you're not correcting them. And then it's like, you eventually like blow, but it's like, well, that person had no idea that you are quietly building resentment over small things. I feel like I'm worse at it over like text. I would be a little nervous, but in person I, I usually like if I flip that switch, I can get there pretty easily.
Starting point is 00:25:13 How do you flip the switch? I guess if I'm pissed off. Okay. Who is most likely to talk to a. stranger in a bathroom. I was chatty at the target one. Three, two, one. I said me.
Starting point is 00:25:31 I thought Jared would be a little too like. Obvious. I feel like Jared would like fart really loud and be like, ha ha, and like, you know, talk about it. See, I thought that might be a place you wouldn't want to be social. I don't want to, but I'm open to it. Oh, okay. Why'd you make you?
Starting point is 00:25:47 I don't know. You talk in bathrooms? I feel like if somebody would, wants to talk to me i normally will talk to them say i made my best friend in a in a bathroom in elementary school so who what uh did me and chain win because yeah because i put you as well yeah yes so the three of us got a point uh we almost had them say it darn it okay who is most likely Oh my god, this is not on purpose Who's most likely to start laughing and not be able to stop?
Starting point is 00:26:19 Okay, I didn't laugh because Oh, something comes to mind Oh my god, oh no It's literally happening It's happening in front of our eyes Okay, should we just skip in there? It's Shane. Surprise, surprise.
Starting point is 00:26:44 We all get a point. Did anyone have a different guess? Can we talk about it? It's been so long? Oh my God. She's just gotten over it. Like yesterday. This was a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Like a couple weeks ago. No. This was last year. This was really bad. It was really bad. So, okay, we got to the true crime portion of the podcast. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Oh. And listen, like, I am always super engaged in that segment. Like, I'm always, like, there, right? Sandy said something, and it was like, okay. She said, I guess we can talk about it, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you said, Turkey police. Oh, like, yeah, from the country.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I do like that part because in that episode, people are like, oh, well, she didn't say this. She didn't mention this. Why did it? Really, Sandy has, you're here. Well, the whole time. I'm standing it's true. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:48 I did have the proper information. It was cut around because somebody was making her job impossible. It took so long. The whole time, I would look over at a chair. It was like, let me set the scene. Okay, so I'm sitting where Chris is. I don't think Chris was, I think you were sick. So I'm in Chris's chair.
Starting point is 00:28:06 So I'm looking at Sandy, and Sandy says like, and then the turkey police can. And I was like, okay, she meant the police in Turkey, right? And like when she said it, of course, all I see in my head is turkeys in police customs. And I'm just like, fuck, fuck. And then I like look over and I start Spencer kind of laughing. And then I was like, okay, can we stop? I need to collect myself.
Starting point is 00:28:30 So I'm like trying so because it's such a sad, intense story. And I feel so bad. And I'm trying so hard not to like laugh because I'm thinking of these fucking turkeys. So then like two episodes later, I think it was you with your mom and your mom was doing a true crime story and she said something and then you just would not stop fucking laughing
Starting point is 00:28:49 and the worst part is you're sitting next to your mom so you guys are both in the shot and you can't cut around it so it was just like I was like okay so it's not just me and you are losing it yeah it's pretty fun to get in one of those little laughing fits it's fun but then like it's annoying when you have a task
Starting point is 00:29:05 yeah and you can tell like everyone's laughing and then it's like okay okay Like that energy is just so funny. It's like you're still laughing. It was so bad. So yeah. Ooh, memories. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:17 All right. Let's just do a couple more. Who's most likely to double down instead of just apologizing? Oh, come on. Kind of another majority here. Yeah. Do we all just say it out loud at the same time? Ready?
Starting point is 00:29:33 Three, two, one. All right. Me? Me? So you know this about yourself. Yes. I am so mad. Every fight we get into and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:29:48 all you have to do right now is say sorry and then you, okay. I have to prove my point. Specifically, the other day, he ran the car into another car. It was great. So that happened, right? So then I jump out of the car to go look and I'm like, I think you did. He was withholding information from me because he was out for himself. It's my fault.
Starting point is 00:30:06 So then I write down, not him, me. I'm writing down like, hello. I'm 99% sure I didn't hit your car, but in the chance I did hit your car, here's my number, like, in case there's a mark, I don't see a mark, but if you see a mark, like, because I was just freaking out. And then I'm like, let's have a good night. Let's not ruin this. Let's have a good night.
Starting point is 00:30:20 And then Ryan-Len goes, I'm fine. You're projecting. Well, because he wouldn't stop saying, let's just have a good night. And I was like, I'm not even saying anything. Well, no, he goes, I'm over it. I'm fine. I said, okay. And then one second goes past, and then he goes, should have used your eyes.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I was like, I should have used my eyes when you were driving. Well, because I was like, you got out to tell me if I hit the car or not. Like, how is it not clear if I'm touching the car or I'm not touching the car? Just tell me. It really wasn't. But anyways, yes, all this to say, so you're aware that you can't apologize. If anything, I should be apologizing to the person's car if I hit it, but I'll never know if I hit it because my husband didn't tell me if I hit it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Okay, I think we were all right there. I think it could be tricky to not know if you hit a car or not. What a sweet moment. Well, then you're forgiven for crashing my car. Your car has no marks. You have crashed my car? I mean, you've been there, right? He's crashed it so many times.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Not a plug for the sip, but he has crashed my car on the sip like six times. If you want to see me crash in his car. Another plug. And do I ever get an apology? No. I love that. I love you. I can just see your insurance company after this episode comes out of.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Yeah. Like, we decided to raise your premium. It hasn't happened in a while, but there was a period where it was like several. Constant. But I love him so much. I'm so sorry. Wow. Straight from the heart.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Go to your acting coach and work. You just need to get a bunch of pool noodles and just put him in front and back of the core. Okay, let's do one more. Well, this game is just so perfect. It's really honest. On fleak, as the kids would say. Okay. You're so dumb, Shane.
Starting point is 00:32:17 You're being so dumb, Shane. Okay. Okay. Okay, come on. Okay. Last one. Who is most likely to overshare after one drink? Oh, that's easy.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Overshare. Have it narrowed down. to two. Well, I'm going off of Jared now. Yeah, well, me too, but that's deflecting from somebody else. You know what? Oh, no. Okay. I'm throwing in a curveball. Okay. Three, two, one. Chris. Chris. Oh my God. Yes. I had Chris. I had that flashback of us drunk in my kitchen in Colorado. And Chris telling us the craziest shit while he's on the floor eating pringles and whipped cream. And I was like, I was like, it was amazing. I was like, it was amazing. I was like, Where am I right now? It was crazy. What a great night.
Starting point is 00:33:09 No, I overshare in general. I talked about getting circumcised just moments ago. So I'm sober. So imagine drunk. You know what I mean? We should do a drunk podcast, but I guess Jared doesn't drink. We'll figure it out. I did put Chris down, but then I looked over at Spencer and I thought, you know, Spencer can get pretty chatty. So I think after one drink, he'll just start rolling all out, you know? I don't think I do it when I drunk. When I get really drunk, I get sort of, devious, I think I've said that before, but I turn into, I like to play a little like tricks. Like, if someone put something down, I'll like hide it.
Starting point is 00:33:46 You know what I mean? I'm like, this is such a funny prank. Dude, you're like a fun grandpa when you're trying. Then I'll forget I did it. And then people are like, where's my, you know, wallet? I don't know. Let's look. Yeah, I genuinely don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:59 It's like, in my pocket. It's totally. Well, congrats to Shane and Jared. They won that game. Well, speaking of winning, Wait, who is that? Charlie Sheen. Winning.

Okay, guys, I'm going to try to contain my excitement right now because sometimes I will say something and I will get that look and people will be like, uh, that's a reach. I don't know about that. And I have been so firm on this.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I have been digging my toes into this one. And I love this brand more than anything. It is my all-time favorite brand. But I fucking right. Allegedly, let's just take a look at this news clip. If you think your favorite candy tastes a little different, you're not alone. The grandson of H.B. Reese, the man behind Reese's peanut butter cubs, is speaking out accusing the Hershey Company of replacing milk chocolate with compound coatings
Starting point is 00:36:36 in swapping real peanut butter for peanut cream. Brad Rees says the changes betray his grandfather's legacy and the brand millions grew up loving. Hershey disputes that, insisting its classic cups still use the same core ingredients in saying any changes reflect growing consumer demand for innovation. So what do you think?
Starting point is 00:36:54 Have Reese's been tasting a little different lately? Let us know. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! What? Okay, but when they said, we're just trying to be growing consumer demand.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I still my favorite candy, even when they're bad. No, we don't even eat them when they're bad. Finish. I can play different accents. I noticed this on Halloween, and I was like, I took a bite of that Halloween little pumpkin, and first of all, it was gray. But I'm not, I wasn't shaming it. I was like, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Maybe it's a little old. Maybe it's from the last Halloween. Still going to eat it. Took a bite, and I was like horrified. I was like, this taste healthy. It tastes like protein. It tastes like plant protein. We talked about it on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:37:39 And then this news story happened. And guys, it's sweeping the nation. Everybody's talking about this. And I just want to say, I feel like we were first. Yeah. Like, because we weren't basing it up of anything. We were basing up you had a Reese's and we're like, this is different. It's literally made different.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Let me just say this. I started falling down the rabbit hole because I was like, okay, is this real? I like, I mean, I know it's real, allegedly. But I'm like, what are the signs? What are the clues? So then I looked and allegedly on some of the Reese's cups, like the original cups, it says milk, chocolate, and peanut butter. But on the fake or worse, Rhesus, allegedly, it says, what is it? It's chocolate flavoring? Should we see?
Starting point is 00:38:18 Oh, yes. So, I went to CVS and I got a bunch of shit. Well, because there were varying degrees of bad when we were going through our children's Halloween candy. We were like, some taste similar and then some are just bad. So the real ones say milk chocolate, and peanut butter, and allegedly the worst one say chocolate candy and peanut butter cream. So it's like two different things. So we're going to try it today. We have our original milk chocolate and peanut butter recess, and then we have our Easter version, which allegedly it's the holiday versions that are made cheaper with worse quality, allegedly.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Yeah, and so allegedly these ones are being made differently now, and they're not saying anything, allegedly, allegedly. But these little eggs do say peanut butter cream. So we're testing three different things. We're testing original Reese's, the eggs, which is what everyone's saying, taste gross now. Okay. Also, people are saying the cups taste different now, too.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Yeah, I thought it was all of them that's different. Hey, wait. Is that also a Snickers you have there? Okay, let's talk about it. Okay. Well, I will say this. We don't have them, but the tiny, tiny unwrapped wreaths that come in a bag are incredible. So, and they taste to me like OG Reese.
Starting point is 00:39:31 So, oh. Oh my gosh, you chucked it. He didn't put his hands up for anything. He just sat there and took it. Oh, my God. Dude, I played soccer when I was young, okay? I'm not afraid of head stoppage, shoulder bumps. He didn't even flinch.
Starting point is 00:39:51 You just sat there. Sorry. Terrible hand-eye coordination. He's such a man. We also have Snickers because I started thinking, wait a minute. What if it's not just Reesisus? What if it's everything under the Hershey umbrella? And Snickers also
Starting point is 00:40:08 does holiday treats. So what if original Snickers versus the Snickers Egg? Which I've never seen anything. Also, the confidence it takes for a company to literally not put their brand on the fucking thing is crazy. Yeah. Satisfice.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Imagine. Period. What are we trying first? Okay. So I think we should try the OG Reisis that allegedly still taste the same. We'll see. We got a big candy budget on this. Jared already ate half an egg. That's the other where conspiracy,
Starting point is 00:40:38 are the eggs coming with the bite taken out of it? God, I still love it, though. It looks good. There's nothing like opening arisus. Oh, yeah. When you pull down its little panties. Nothing is the straightest thing you've ever said, Chris? Yeah, well, you can play straight.
Starting point is 00:40:55 What the fuck is this? Delicious. It's better than the pumpkin. I already know. Yeah. It's better than the pumpkin. This isn't bad. I'm going to be honest.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I still love it. It's still good. I'm still good. I agree. So let's try now the Reese's eggs. This is the big one. They're gray. Why are they gray?
Starting point is 00:41:14 Do you see what I mean? Or am I crazy? No, I feel like they're different colors. It might be hard to see on this camera, but like one is like grayer. They're like slimy. Why are they slimy? It is a little gray. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Oh yeah. This is the peanut butter inside has a chalky flavor to it. It tastes like protein. It tastes worse than I remember. Is it good for us? As the new Reese spokesperson, maybe it's better for us. It's really bad. The cup is fine though now.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Okay, wait, I will say, interesting. Don't they usually put, like, whatever is the most they put at the front? At the top. At the top of the ingredients. So at the top of the ingredients on the eggs, it says peanuts. On the top of the ingredients on the actual recess, it's just milk sugar. Oh. Or milk chocolate.
Starting point is 00:41:58 So that's kind of weird. Okay, but maybe not. I guess because there's a higher volume. I will say it kind of looks like there's a lot more ingredients on the eggs. But maybe I'm making that up allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly. Okay, now let's try the cream. The penit butter cream. This has to be different ingredients just because, like, how this was made.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Like, this is completely different feel and everything. Yeah, it is, it's like creamy on the inside. If I wanted playing chocolate, I would have gotten a Hershey kiss. This is really hard. It was really. Ew, the way that it, like, bend it was crazy. Ew, I don't even want this. That one's not for me.
Starting point is 00:42:30 That egg one. That is actually really. This feels like it came out of somebody's butt. Yeah, literally. That's like not actively. Still love you, Reese. Let's move on to Snickers. It's been a while since I've bitten in there.
Starting point is 00:42:44 It's weird that their whole thing is like, it fills you up. Like, you know, their whole thing is like, you're not you when you're hungry. Yeah, yeah. It's like, eat a Snickers. They do? Well, I don't think it's like,
Starting point is 00:42:54 Snickers satisfies. Hungry? No, it says hungry. Why wait? That's actually their slogan. Well, it was like commercials with like, there were like actors. were in a really grumpy mood and someone would be like, oh, you're not being you.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Eat a Snickers and they'd eat it and then they'd be cool. I should have done that this. I don't know. I was a little tired and grumpy and I'm doing great now. All right. Now we're going to have a sugar. All right. Let's try the Snickers egg.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Are she's better than races? I will say the theory behind this whole thing is that chocolate prices have been jacking up. Like going up a lot recently. And so there's a lot of these candy companies are putting a lot of advertising behind gummy candy because they don't want to pay for chocolate and then I think they're doing this too where they're replacing it because the thing that's expensive is the cocoa butter wait is that why like the target Easter section is so gummy heavy yeah I this is like this is like a new thing this year and I feel like gummy is they're shoving gummies at my throat because it's all about profit margin
Starting point is 00:43:48 have you never seen jerk tank like nerd gummy clusters like it used to be risa she was that girl and now every time you go into a target they have the nerds gummy cluster they're everywhere yeah yeah yeah you're right whoa and at the super There was a bunch of gummy advertised. I'm telling you, it's like a real thing. There are people who have, like, written articles about this and, like, who care about the, like, candy. This does not taste like Snickers at all that.
Starting point is 00:44:11 This actually really good. This actually tastes like a non-ice cream version of the Snicker ice cream version. Which is like a category. Wow, is this a better ratio of the ingredients than the bar? This is better than a Snickers. This is really good. Well, yeah, let us know in the comments. Do you think that Rises has changed?
Starting point is 00:44:29 I mean, there's only one right answer. Yeah. It has. Hershey's please do better, okay? I'll still eat it right now, but just do better. Okay, speaking of things that are blowing my mind, just kidding, already new, this is a clip that's been going viral about aliens. Are aliens real? They're real, but I haven't seen them and they're not being kept in, what is it?
Starting point is 00:44:54 Area 51. There's no underground facility, unless there's this enormous, conspiracy and they hit it from the president of the United States. Of course they have. The first question you wanted answered when you became president. Where are the aliens? Period.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Yeah, so... Wait, what? So this went viral because it was obviously he was a very suspicious way of answering it. Immediately said yes or he always like, but they're... And he's like, what is it? Area 51, what the hell is it? Then the next day he had to have a statement like, I don't believe, you know, it was like, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:31 This real official like PR like, I didn't say aliens are real. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. He's doubling down like Rylan. He's not going to say sorry. Wait. Whoa. Isn't that crazy?
Starting point is 00:45:45 And it's like that he answered it in the mode. And then he was like drinking like, oh, I don't know. He was sipping tea like a podcast. Wow. I mean, listen, I believe him because of course there's fucking aliens. But here's my thought. Not to get dark. But we talked about the whole bread
Starting point is 00:46:01 circus thing in the last episode. We talked about, you know, the media, the government, whoever, throwing distractions constantly at us to make us think about something else because they don't want us to look at the real thing that's happening that, you know, they want us to focus on something else. And I said at the end of that, I was like, just fucking wait. The distractions are going to get fucking crazy. Just fucking wait. It's coming soon. And then Spencer sent me this. Not saying Obama's a part of orchestrating it. I'm just saying I have this feeling. Jared's talked about this. Once more things start coming out and more things are getting crazy, there is going to be something with aliens.
Starting point is 00:46:33 I just know it. I just fucking feel it. And I feel like it's getting to that point now where we're already. Like we all know what's coming. Are they going to step in soon? I think, I mean, it could be. But I think five years ago, there was a group of people within society that people consider crazy. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:52 And I think those people now are being asked questions in the sense of what are your thoughts? Because I would like to know what you know because you were right about so many other things. The fake alien invasion has been talked about for like 20 plus years by these people. So it's going to happen. And I mean, right now they want to distract like never before. It's also crazy that things are happening right now just as we're entering the most surveyed time in history. Because how can you really act against anything happening when you're being watched 24 hours a day? Like, there's no way for society to rebel against anything because we're under constant surveillance.
Starting point is 00:47:33 So, I don't know, just a weird time. I will say, like... Where are my gloves? Come on, heat. Any day now? Winter is hard, but your groceries don't have to be. This winter, stay warm. Tap the banner to order your groceries online at voila.ca.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Enjoy in-store prices without leaving your home. You'll find the same regular prices online as in store. Many promotions are available both in store and online, though some may vary. Listen, we talked about it last time. Once the files are not censored, if that happens, I don't know if that will, but if that does, and everybody's saying, like, the reason they're not uncensoreding it is because society will collapse. Like, I think that's been something that I've heard a lot. I think if that happens, they're going to drop that fucking alien bomb right away.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Because that's going to take every... everybody's attention because I don't care. Like, if they drop a realistic video of a real alien saying like, I am real and I'm here, like that's going to completely consume the entire, not just America, the entire world. That will literally take up all the oxygen. So can we acknowledge something? Yes. How in the world?
Starting point is 00:48:51 Because these files were just recently released. And we knew about them forever. They kind of went back and forth on whether they existed or not. We obviously knew that they did. and now they're out. So obviously the government had a hold of these files forever. What happens next?
Starting point is 00:49:05 Like nothing has happened. Everybody knows about it. So to me it's just crazy that we are even at a time right now where it feels like it isn't like a big deal as far as consequences. You know what I'm saying? So I definitely feel like the distractions
Starting point is 00:49:20 are going to come heavier than ever because once people wake up and think about it like, wait a second, why isn't anything happening here? Why are crimes not having? Then that's when the aliens are coming. And then it's like, well, who cares about that? We just need to be safe now because our planet's going to blow up.
Starting point is 00:49:33 So expect it. It's going to happen. I'm calling it. Okay, this next one is interesting. I almost wanted to try this for a conspiracy van video, but I literally cannot step into a Walmart because I've done so many videos where I've got kicked out of Walmart. Not on purpose. It just happens.
Starting point is 00:49:50 So I don't know if we're going to do it. Maybe I'll get brave and we'll try. But this is the Walmart lost and found theory. Look how trifling Walmart is. Remember I said I lost Ella's blanket in here? Why did they pick it up and tag this used blanket and put it in the clearance aisle? Used blanket for $7 in the clearance aisle that was a lost and found item. Walmart has to be joking.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Okay. It's like if you leave it in there for more than 30 days, we're selling your product. I don't think it was more than 30 days. Listen. I made that product. Okay, listen. Yeah, leaving a dirty little kid blanket and then it literally is on the show. It's crazy, right?
Starting point is 00:50:28 Because Walmart's like, and listen, don't sue me Walmart. This is all legend. But like, so I'm curious. And I was like, okay, if we were to try this, how would we do it? Like, would we just do the obvious, like we go in, we leave some items, we go back the next day and see if they're on the shelf? Or do we go to the lost and found and say like, oh, I lost my Tumblr cup. And then they'll bring over the bucket and then we'll like scope out the bucket and be like, okay, that, that, that, that. and then come back the next week and see if those items are on the shelf.
Starting point is 00:51:01 That's interesting. There's also part two to this video. A lot of work. Oh, this is, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I've never been to Walmart's makeup section, but I assumed it was kind of like Target or something where everything was like wrapped and clean and this and that. So this is new to me.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Yeah, I don't know if this is at every Walmart. I wonder if it's at like the mega stores or something like that, but I think it's, they must have a clearance section. So I don't know if this is them returning used makeup and putting on the shelf or if this is just people using the makeup at Walmart and putting it back, I can see that happening. Just a quick lipstick and then you keep going. Quick, get ready with me at Walmart.
Starting point is 00:51:42 That's a good video. Honestly, wow, I would watch that. I did see a reel where this guy goes to Walmart every day and he works out with their gym equipment. That's what we're going to do, funny. Yes, you should do. We worked out at Walmart every day for a month. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:00 You can do a week. You do a week. Thanks, Vince. Okay, guys, I fell down a rabbit hole and I was like, this could be an interesting podcast segment because I don't know if we've ever talked about this before. Carnivals. I've always been fascinated by carnivals. I think they're very fascinating. The fact that they travel around from, you know, state to state. He loves watching the food reviews. Love watching the food reviews. But obviously there's so many theories about carnivals, about who's running them, like why they exist. There's theories that they're money laundering, which I think is kind of fascinating because I don't know about any more as much. Back when I was a kid, carnivals are all cash. Like, no cards, all cash.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Like, who's this money going to? What does this mean? And then they just like pick up and leave. Also, the rides constantly breaking, people constantly having accidents. I do not trust a carnival ride. A traveling ride. No, thanks. They built this last week.
Starting point is 00:52:53 I'm right on it. Well, and suppose, okay, so I have a list of some theories in the Jared, Sandy, Spencer. Like, we all have some ideas on this. So some of the theories, obviously, the games rig. like they're made so that you won't win them so that you just waste your money on them. That's something I think a lot of people talk about. But also, I don't know how real this is, but there's a theory that whenever a carnival comes to town,
Starting point is 00:53:14 the missing persons cases rises in that area for the time being. Which, I mean, I'm sure there's been horror movies about it. I don't know, but like the idea of people coming into a town and then leaving, and then you don't know where they go is fucking crazy. But this one is my favorite because it makes so much, makes so much sense to me. And it is so scary to me. So there's a theory that, so you know, like in every town there's that place that carnivals are held, whether it's a certain church parking lot or a certain field or a certain park. Like there's always kind of that area in town
Starting point is 00:53:48 where that's where the carnival's going to be if a carnival comes in town. So there's a theory that Colts will go to those locations when the carnival's not there. And that's where they'll do some rituals. Because that specific area has so much energy harvested. people screaming in fear, scared, and that energy stays there, and that's what these colts will kind of feed off of. Which sounds kind of crazy, but then you think about the movie Us.
Starting point is 00:54:13 And that literally was what was happening. It was the amusement park above it, and then all the people underneath, like feeding off that energy. You think about there's theories that amusement parks and roller coasters and all of that was created as a way to harness all of this fear
Starting point is 00:54:28 and adrenaline and energy so that the powers of the bee could feed off of it. But like that I just thought was very fascinating. And it made me think like, wow. Like I wonder if what like because I'm thinking when I was a kid, there was a very specific field at our church that they would have carnivals and stuff. Like I wonder if they ever did weird rituals there in the middle of the night. It's very creepy.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Even the word carnival. So carna is derivative of meat. And then ball is derivative of ball, which is actually like a satanic deity. Wow. The one with the horns and whatnot. So it's literally like the meat of meat. Satan is what Carnival stands for. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:55:05 So I thought that was pretty fascinating. I mean, take it as you will. It's scary. There was a story where this kid said he had gone to Carnival with his friend and this guy bumped into him and asked him like, where's your parents? And then the kid was like, oh, we're just here hanging out, just being my friend.
Starting point is 00:55:21 And then they just took off. Well then later, his friend was like, I'm going to go to the bathroom. And so he goes to the bathroom and the kid sees the guy. He had a baseball cap, so he noticed him. And the guy just smiled and then like turned around and walked away and his friend like he couldn't find him You know, it was I think like 20 or 30 minutes past. You couldn't find him so he went to the cops or the security and sure enough this guy was right by his Car like smoking a cigarette or something and so they go up to them and they ask like hey have you seen this kid
Starting point is 00:55:51 He's like no sorry I haven't I haven't seen him well then his friend hears like a knock and he hears like two knocks like coming out of the trunk and sure enough that guy opened up his trunk and the kid was in his home, like in the truck of his car. And there's so many stories of like kids getting kidnapped and like, oh my God. It's horrible. You know what I have that made me think. Maybe it's just my Explorer page on Instagram, but I feel like the last year, it's constant carnival rides breaking. Like it's like so much.
Starting point is 00:56:21 So that makes me think like, okay, is there a rise in carnival rides breaking or is it just a rise in everybody filming everything? Oh, yeah. We're seeing it because like we never heard about it before, not like this. Now it's like every day. Spencer, speaking of this. Well, yeah, that actually, some of that we were talking about transitions nicely. So I fell down the rabbit hole about Alton Towers.
Starting point is 00:56:42 We got to heard of Alton Towers? So Alton Towers is one of the, if not the biggest, like, theme parks in the UK, which is kind of the rabbit hole. I'm going to go down. Should we go there? I'm not going to, I'm trying not to be an asshole, but that looks haunted as well. Yeah. I mean, they even, you'll see, I'll get into it, but they even like leaning.
Starting point is 00:57:00 into like, yeah, it's haunted. Okay. This was, you put into chat GBT. Show me a haunted man. Yeah, literally. I think that's, with like this picture. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:09 So the site of Alton Towers actually goes back to the Iron Age to like 700. But there was a huge battle there. He was another king came over and they fought a huge battle. It was one of the bloodiest battles of that era.
Starting point is 00:57:22 And there was no real winner because so many people died. And so ever since then, the area was known as slain hollow because so many people, people were killed there. So even from the beginning of this site, there's like a lot of death,
Starting point is 00:57:34 a lot of weird stuff going on. This is currently an amusement park? Yes, yes. This is the site of this is like, what is the amusement? I mean, I'm just seeing creepy things. Yeah, yeah, we'll get to it. Is there like a slide?
Starting point is 00:57:46 Yeah, they literally, okay. So they at least got the swings. Yeah, so that was like, that was like, and then. What is that? Yeah, we'll get to it. And so in, I think it was like, 11, like 1100 or something, they was the first time they built like a castle there, the manor, the manor has been there on this location. So then that leads to the story of the
Starting point is 00:58:10 chained oak, which is like a very famous tree where all the branches are chained up. And the story of the chained oak goes is that the Earl of Shrewsbury was like riding home in a cart one day. And there was like a woman on the side of the road, like an old woman, like a witch type woman. He said something. He was like, you know, fuck you, poor woman or whatever, you know, whatever, whatever, something back in the day. And so she allegedly put a, I don't know if I say, she's not going to sue me. She put a, she put a hex on her. Yeah, she put a hex on him and said that. Beauty of the Beast.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Is that what the story is? That's how Beauty and the Beast starts, yes. Well, she said that every time, every time a branch falls from this tree, a member of your family is going to die. Oh, my God. Supposedly the next day, there was a big storm. Uh, branch fell off. someone died in his family. These are all good Blumhouse movies.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Yeah, yeah. And so... They're writing notes. And so I think Alton Towers owns it because they... I mean, I'm skipping forward. They now have a ride called The Hex based on this story.
Starting point is 00:59:12 They really lean into the fact that it's haunted. And so he chained all these branches to the tree so that the branches never fall down. And so that because he was like so scared by it after it happened. And so there's like this really, really old
Starting point is 00:59:25 like newspaper article from... from like the 1800s and it's like, Lord Shrewsbury ordered the limbs to be supported by large crane chains. And so blah, blah, blah, blah. It's all about how he actually like ordered it happening.
Starting point is 00:59:38 And then now... So this really, like, officially happened. Yes. And so the hex is... Are there rides? Yeah, yeah. That's all I'm thinking about. Where are they? So the hex is,
Starting point is 00:59:46 is one of the only rides in the actual old Alton Towers itself. The waiting line for the hex is considered one of the most haunted parts of the whole area. It's in the old armory. That's so cool. Right next to the dungeons. It looks so scary.
Starting point is 00:59:59 A real common theme through all these haunting things is people see these two children. There's like these two children who are seen often running around in this one woman. And so they're the two figures that are most often seen everywhere. But the most common thing people, the fact that scared me so bad. You guys scared me more than it scared me. Oh my God. I put up these reflectors outside the windows behind Ryland and Shane to keep Sunbro coming in. And as you're talking about ghost children, one of them fell over.
Starting point is 01:00:27 right? Well, whatever you're talking about is here. She might have had to come a long way. So this is this figure, I mean, I don't know, this is a picture allegedly of her, but this is the figure people often see this woman in old Victorian clothing. People, they think she's like a former governor's of the towers. I have to go. But a lot of people in line have always, there's been multiple, multiple accounts of people
Starting point is 01:00:47 thinking that someone's thrown rocks at them. Ew. So this is, we're getting into the rides now. So, yes. That's a ride? Yes. Is that the gravitz-tron? No longer.
Starting point is 01:00:55 The termite tent? Yeah. It does look like that. So we were talking about crashes. There was a famous crash in 2015 on this site where there was a leftover cart on the track and they sent the cart around, smash into it. No one died. People had to have like their legs amputated and they were stuck. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:01:18 They were stuck on it for three hours before they could get off. It was really bad. What is this part called? It's called Alton Towers. Sounds like a very nice, like... I know, it does sound like a condo unit. Where do you live? So anyway, that was my big thing on...
Starting point is 01:01:37 Wait, how do we get there? Yeah, we just got to go to England. Should we go to England? Imagine it cuts to us there. So, yeah, I mean, I don't know if any of you guys are gone there. I'm assuming a lot of our UK, because it's like one of the biggest ones in the UK. So, like... Really?
Starting point is 01:01:54 Pretty fun, too. I mean, these are... I'm going to have to look up blogs about this because my brain only sees a haunted mansion with a tree with chains on it. I'm not eating a corn dog. Well, I didn't do like, hey, and this ride's pretty cool and this ride's pretty cool. This is not haunted. But yeah, so that's on there. I don't know if you guys have any experiences on towers, I'm sure are UK people do, but it's, I just thought it was so interesting how far, like, it goes back to literally like 700.
Starting point is 01:02:18 No. So yeah. Wow. Wow. That was awesome. Good deep dive. So good. You conjured them here.
Starting point is 01:02:27 I do have a story. It's kind of like a true crime-ish. Yeah. So I was actually, it was pretty interesting because there's this guy named Elmer McCrudey. And he was born in 1880, right? So a long time ago. But he ended up moving around a lot and he was like a burglar. He was like a robber.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Well, he ended up getting shot and killed by the police after he robbed. I believe it was a bank. And so they take him to the mortuary. Well, nobody can claim him because his mom had passed. like all of his family had passed away. Well, the owner of the mortuary was like, well, I've already embalmed him. Like, I'm not going to bury him because, like, I need to get paid for this. And so what he did was he set him up in his funeral home and charge people to see him,
Starting point is 01:03:12 to see this, like, mummy. He, like, dressed him up and he called him, I believe, like, the wild bandit or something like that, the wild bandit. Well, a few years later, these two gentlemen come and they state like, oh, he's our brother. He's our brother. We'll pay to, like, have you release him to me, to us. Well, come to find out, those brothers weren't his real brothers. They were the brothers of the great Patterson carnival.
Starting point is 01:03:36 And they ended up charging people, like, in their carnival, to see this wild bandit's body. And they did that for years. And so they just went around in the carnival and had this, like, mummy that they were showing for money. Is that so wild? Like, that's so wild that was allowed. What? Yeah. That's crazy to be, like, working at a carnival and just see a dead body like,
Starting point is 01:03:58 yo, we could use that. Yeah, right. Let's get that in. Business venture, yeah. Wow. Well, speaking of an attraction that people would definitely pay to see. I think it's time for a recap. Are we not going to talk about the games and who did their thing?
Starting point is 01:04:13 Whoa, yeah. The secret thing. Oh, the winner. Well, we could reveal that in the recap. Oh, stick around. Did you just fart it smells? Why did you tell me to say that? What about you tell her that I told you to say that?
Starting point is 01:04:30 And Dawson podcast, I have my co-host, Ryland. Hey, Sally, how are you? Oh, Ryland, I'm so good today because we're taking down big food. Hershey's better watch their back. No, it's all a legend. I love a Snickers. Yes. Wait, Sally, I heard there was a game that we all forgot about.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Oh, Shane announced a new. title list game that was really fun, especially because my co-host, Ryland, won. Oh, Sally, I've been waiting to tell everyone what I have accomplished here on the Shane Dawson podcast today. I accomplished my task not once, but twice, saying a word I would never say because it's cringy and chuggy. What was the word? On fleek. What did you say? And what time I said it and Shane got so weird and crazy and so, Still nobody called down. I thought, oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:05:40 When you said, I thought, I don't think kids say that anymore. And I think Shane looked at you. I thought Shane looked at you because that was true. I was just doing my thing. Okay, so let's go around clockwise. Well, I gave mine up really early. Mine was to act offended by something. Mine was, let me read it up.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Act like you're constantly texting someone. And I think the problem with me having this one is that I do stuff on my phone for the show. Yeah. So I think people just like who seemed I was doing that. I was trying to do it when people were talking, but it was tough. Well, mine was to act like I poop my pants. So earlier I did the fart noise. Was Sandy in on it asking you why you stink?
Starting point is 01:06:18 No, that was a last inch effort. Is that why earlier in the show you said coffee gave you bubble guts? I was trying to set it up this whole time. Oh, mine was crying. We all knew. Yeah. You picked an odd moment to break it out. But she didn't care.
Starting point is 01:06:35 About Chris's circumcision. That's a hard thing to go through. Thank you. You were impressive though. You really got there quickly. Chris? Mine was to say three big lies. What you should say?
Starting point is 01:06:48 You're not circumcised? You were like very story oriented today. I was like your friend didn't get shot. I crammed so many in there. That one's real. Oh, that was real. We cramped so many in that like it was very... I feel like if anything my real stories were probably crazy.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Was the loop fake? No. That was real. What was fake? It was the like Russian mobster audition. Oh, that was good. The, what else? The, oh, join it trying to join a gang in high school.
Starting point is 01:07:21 That was weird. Yeah, okay, yeah. Okay, well, Ryland won. Really? Yes, I'm the fucking host of this recap and I said Riley wins. All right. Wait, pop quiz. Does anybody remember the name of Sally and Steve Hartley's baby?
Starting point is 01:07:36 Ooh, I was the one that named him. That's a good pop quiz. I was literally watching the podcast from last time, and when it happens and Jared says a name for the baby, Spencer literally said, we're never going to run out of it. If I was right. We didn't. I win that game.
Starting point is 01:07:52 What was it? Beatrice? No. Is Beatrice on track? Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. Comment down below. If you know, you have three. Ooh, fun.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Two. It's hard to spell. One. Montgomery. No, you know what? I'm not even going to answer it. Let us know the comment. We just won't know. What is Sally and Steve's baby's name?
Starting point is 01:08:11 Okay, on tonight's broadcast, we have a serious conversation. Barack Obama is currently going viral for talking about aliens. And lucky for us, we have an exclusive correspondent on scene at Area 51. Steve, do you have connection? I absolutely do, Sally. Thank you for that kind intro. Barack Obama was actually being interviewed by a gentleman, and he broke the news that,
