- 0:45Speaker 1: Okay, let's get into today's story. On February twenty seventh,
- 1:04Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, a man in his thirties named John
- 1:07Speaker 1: grabbed a drink out of his fridge in his kitchen
- 1:09Speaker 1: and then walked into his living room. He had just
- 1:11Speaker 1: finished work and his wife and kids were out visiting
- 1:13Speaker 1: his in laws, and so tonight he was excited to
- 1:16Speaker 1: just sit on the couch and watch TV.
- 1:18Speaker 2: As he sat down, he called out to his dog.
- 1:20Speaker 1: There was a huge thunderstorm outside, and he knew his
- 1:23Speaker 1: dog was deathly afraid of thunder and so he expected
- 1:26Speaker 1: her to come running as soon as she heard her name.
- 1:28Speaker 1: But after he called her, he heard nothing. But this
- 1:31Speaker 1: didn't worry him because he figured, you know, his dog
- 1:33Speaker 1: must have found a good hiding spot and had just
- 1:35Speaker 1: fallen asleep there. So John turned his attention to the
- 1:37Speaker 1: TV and began looking for a horror.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Movie to watch.
- 1:40Speaker 1: But as he did, you know, he started thinking about
- 1:42Speaker 1: his wife and his kids driving home that night, and
- 1:45Speaker 1: he was worried about them, you know, because of the weather.
- 1:47Speaker 1: So instead of clicking on a horror movie, he turned
- 1:50Speaker 1: to the local news to check on the weather. However,
- 1:52Speaker 1: as soon as the local news came on, it was
- 1:55Speaker 1: not the weather they were talking about, despite this being
- 1:57Speaker 1: a major storm. I mean, this should have kind of
- 2:00Speaker 1: dominated the news, but it wasn't. Instead, there was a
- 2:03Speaker 1: much bigger story on the news right now, and that
- 2:06Speaker 1: was there was this huge riot happening at a state
- 2:08Speaker 1: prison that was only ten miles away from where John
- 2:11Speaker 1: lived and apparently the most dangerous convict at this prison
- 2:16Speaker 1: had escaped. The newscasters began to describe this convict and
- 2:20Speaker 1: they said he actually had a nickname the other prisoners
- 2:22Speaker 1: had given him. They called him the Monster of Cell
- 2:25Speaker 1: Block C. Now this nickname had to do in part
- 2:28Speaker 1: with the fact that he was just a horrible criminal,
- 2:30Speaker 1: like people were scared of him.
- 2:32Speaker 2: And then also the nickname came.
- 2:34Speaker 1: From his just totally bizarre and threatening behavior. He would
- 2:37Speaker 1: routinely sit in the corner of his cell and eat
- 2:40Speaker 1: insects off the ground. And then also he kept jumping
- 2:44Speaker 1: on prison guards every chance he got, which got him
- 2:46Speaker 1: thrown in solitary confinement, where he just continued to eat
- 2:49Speaker 1: the insects there and act totally unhinged. But perhaps the
- 2:53Speaker 1: biggest reason he was dubbed the Monster of Cell Block
- 2:56Speaker 1: C is because.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Of his appearance.
- 2:58Speaker 1: He had these crazy bulge eyes in this really thick neck.
- 3:02Speaker 1: It made him look totally deformed. The anchors were telling
- 3:05Speaker 1: locals to stay vigilant because the police had no idea
- 3:08Speaker 1: where the Monster of Cell Blocks was. I mean, maybe
- 3:11Speaker 1: he was still at the prison, but it did seem
- 3:13Speaker 1: entirely possible that he really had escaped, and then it
- 3:17Speaker 1: seemed like the anchors were about to put a picture
- 3:19Speaker 1: up of the actual inmate himself, when suddenly John heard
- 3:23Speaker 1: this huge boom of thunder outside and then the power
- 3:26Speaker 1: in his house just completely cut out, so the TV
- 3:28Speaker 1: shut off. He didn't get to see what the inmate
- 3:30Speaker 1: looked like. John instinctively reached into his pocket and pulled
- 3:33Speaker 1: out his phone to use the flashlight feature, but his
- 3:35Speaker 1: phone was dead. It had died like a couple minutes earlier,
- 3:38Speaker 1: and he had told himself, you know, I got to
- 3:39Speaker 1: plug this phone in, but he just hadn't done it yet,
- 3:42Speaker 1: and now the power's out, so he has no light source.
- 3:45Speaker 1: And on top of that, you know, John couldn't help
- 3:47Speaker 1: but feel sort of rattled. I mean, he had just
- 3:50Speaker 1: heard on the news that, you know, the monster of
- 3:52Speaker 1: Cell Block C has escaped ten miles away, and now
- 3:56Speaker 1: the powers out of his house in the middle of
- 3:57Speaker 1: a storm, and he's all alone. But at the same time,
- 4:00Speaker 1: you know, John told himself, you know, everything's fine, you know,
- 4:03Speaker 1: just a coincidence here that the power has gone out
- 4:05Speaker 1: right at this moment. You know, I'm fine. The state prisident.
- 4:07Speaker 1: It's ten miles away. And why would this convict have
- 4:11Speaker 1: any interest coming to my house? So I'm fine, And
- 4:13Speaker 1: so John stood up and began heading towards his kitchen,
- 4:16Speaker 1: where he knew he kept a flashlight. But as he
- 4:19Speaker 1: got close to the kitchen, he heard a strange sound.
- 4:22Speaker 1: It was an electronic ding, like a phone notification sound,
- 4:25Speaker 1: but at the same time, John really couldn't quite place it,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and he also knew it couldn't be his phone because
- 4:30Speaker 1: his phone was dead. However, he thought, maybe it's my
- 4:33Speaker 1: kid's iPads. After all this sound he was hearing. The
- 4:36Speaker 1: more he listened, he could tell it was coming from
- 4:38Speaker 1: upstairs and that's where his kids iPads were. However, the
- 4:41Speaker 1: sound still seemed really weird to John because it started
- 4:44Speaker 1: suddenly basically right after the power went out, you know,
- 4:47Speaker 1: he hadn't heard it before that. And also, if these
- 4:50Speaker 1: were you know, notification sounds on his kids iPads, you
- 4:54Speaker 1: would think there would only be maybe one or two notifications.
- 4:57Speaker 1: You wouldn't have, you know, a string of notification sounds.
- 4:59Speaker 1: But as John listened, he heard like this incessant amount
- 5:03Speaker 1: of dinging coming from the upstairs. And it wasn't constant,
- 5:06Speaker 1: it was sort of sporadic. Like random dings kind of
- 5:09Speaker 1: all over the place. But then John remembered that his
- 5:12Speaker 1: kid's iPads had a messaging app on it so they
- 5:14Speaker 1: could talk to their parents. And John remember that, you know,
- 5:17Speaker 1: his phone is dead. His wife could be out there
- 5:19Speaker 1: driving in the storm, and so maybe she was trying
- 5:22Speaker 1: to get in touch with him, couldn't because his phone
- 5:24Speaker 1: was dead, And so now she was trying to message
- 5:26Speaker 1: him using their kids' iPads, And so suddenly his heart
- 5:29Speaker 1: rate began to pick up. He ran into the kitchen,
- 5:31Speaker 1: he grabbed the flashlight, turned it on, and he ran
- 5:33Speaker 1: to the base of the stairs that led up to
- 5:35Speaker 1: the second floor. And as he began ascending the stairs,
- 5:38Speaker 1: he's hearing that dinging sound over and over and over again.
- 5:41Speaker 1: He knows it's from somewhere upstairs, and he can't help
- 5:44Speaker 1: but feel totally anxious about it, like he can't place it.
- 5:48Speaker 1: It kind of sounds like an iPad, but at the
- 5:50Speaker 1: same time, it doesn't. He doesn't really know what it is.
- 5:53Speaker 1: And so up the stairs he goes. He's scanning all around,
- 5:56Speaker 1: you know, there's no movement in the house. He still
- 5:57Speaker 1: hasn't seen his dog. He gets to the top of
- 6:00Speaker 1: the stairs, and in their house there was this hallway
- 6:03Speaker 1: that ran right and left from the top of the stairs.
- 6:05Speaker 1: John looked to the right and shined his flashlight down there,
- 6:08Speaker 1: and it was just all darkness and totally silent. The
- 6:11Speaker 1: dinging was coming from the left side of the hallway.
- 6:14Speaker 1: John swung the flashlight around and he shined it, and
- 6:16Speaker 1: as soon as he looked down the hallway to the
- 6:18Speaker 1: left side, his heart really began to race because remember,
- 6:22Speaker 1: the power is off inside of his house, so all
- 6:25Speaker 1: the lights and everything should be off. But as he
- 6:27Speaker 1: was looking down the hallway, he saw there was bright
- 6:30Speaker 1: light coming out from underneath his closed bedroom door, and
- 6:35Speaker 1: also that dinging sound was coming from in his bedroom,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and his kid's iPads were not in there. At this point,
- 6:42Speaker 1: John was terrified, but he knew he had to go
- 6:45Speaker 1: in there. He had to see what was going on
- 6:46Speaker 1: inside of his house. And so, you know, very nervously,
- 6:49Speaker 1: he began walking down the hallway towards the closed door,
- 6:52Speaker 1: and as he's walking, you know, the dinging sound is
- 6:54Speaker 1: getting louder and louder, and with each ding from inside
- 6:58Speaker 1: of his room, that light that was on inside of
- 7:00Speaker 1: there would sort of pulsate, and you could see the
- 7:02Speaker 1: light pulsating from underneath the door.
- 7:04Speaker 2: And so John is.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Getting more and more nervous as he's getting closer and
- 7:07Speaker 1: closer to this door. And then right as he's about
- 7:10Speaker 1: to touch the door and actually go inside, he hears
- 7:13Speaker 1: a new sound and it's coming from behind him. In fact,
- 7:17Speaker 1: it's coming from downstairs. It was like this thumping sound,
- 7:20Speaker 1: like something thick and meaty, was like hitting the wooden
- 7:24Speaker 1: floors over and over again. John's first thought was, you know,
- 7:27Speaker 1: maybe he left a window open downstairs and that was
- 7:30Speaker 1: just the sound of the rain coming in. But as
- 7:32Speaker 1: he's listening to this thumping sound that's getting louder and
- 7:35Speaker 1: closer to him, you know, making its way towards the stairs,
- 7:38Speaker 1: he's thinking that can't possibly be the rain.
- 7:41Speaker 2: That does not make any sense.
- 7:42Speaker 1: So he thought, oh, it's got to be my dog,
- 7:44Speaker 1: and so he called out to his dog again, this
- 7:46Speaker 1: time much more urgently. Frankly, he wanted the comfort at
- 7:49Speaker 1: this point, but the dog didn't come, and that thumping
- 7:53Speaker 1: sound continued and it began to go up the stairs.
- 7:56Speaker 1: At this point, John knew he needs to go over
- 7:59Speaker 1: and see who is now coming up the stairs. He
- 8:01Speaker 1: has to go he has to go look, but he's
- 8:04Speaker 1: paralyzed with fear. You know, he's in the middle of
- 8:06Speaker 1: this huge storm, the power's out. He has no idea
- 8:08Speaker 1: what's going on with his wife and his kids. There's
- 8:10Speaker 1: this escaped convict down the road. He has all these
- 8:13Speaker 1: strange noises in his house, and so he just stands there,
- 8:16Speaker 1: completely unsure what to do. And then finally, as this
- 8:19Speaker 1: thumping sound is right about to crest the stairs and
- 8:22Speaker 1: be in the hallway, whatever or whoever it was, John
- 8:26Speaker 1: turned and just threw open his door, figuring, you know what,
- 8:28Speaker 1: at least if I go in my bedroom, I can
- 8:30Speaker 1: shut the door and create space between me and whoever
- 8:33Speaker 1: this is. But the second he charged into his bedroom,
- 8:36Speaker 1: holding the flashlight over his head like a baseball bat,
- 8:39Speaker 1: you know, to confront whatever was in there, he just
- 8:41Speaker 1: froze because what he saw in front of him was horrifying.
- 8:45Speaker 1: To understand what John saw and why it was so bad,
- 8:48Speaker 1: you have to know that overall, John was a pretty
- 8:51Speaker 1: nice guy.
- 8:52Speaker 2: You know.
- 8:52Speaker 1: He was a good father, a good husband. He gave
- 8:54Speaker 1: to charity, he took in stray animals. You know, he
- 8:57Speaker 1: was the kind of guy who would you know if
- 8:59Speaker 1: you drop money out on the street, he'd pick it
- 9:01Speaker 1: up and give it back to you. You know, he's
- 9:02Speaker 1: a good guy, but there was one aspect of his
- 9:06Speaker 1: life or John wasn't so nice. In fact, you could
- 9:09Speaker 1: make the case that he was sort of a monster himself. John,
- 9:13Speaker 1: in one very specific way, was sort of a bully.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Every day for the last five years, John had been
- 9:20Speaker 1: personally bullying and torturing this one victim online and then
- 9:24Speaker 1: also riling up other people to.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Do the same thing, and so on.
- 9:28Speaker 1: This night, when he flew into his bedroom to escape
- 9:31Speaker 1: whatever else was going on in his house, what he
- 9:33Speaker 1: saw in his bedroom that was so awful was his victim,
- 9:38Speaker 1: and he knew for sure that his victim was here
- 9:41Speaker 1: for revenge. John's victim turned attacker was standing right there
- 9:46Speaker 1: in the middle of his bedroom, clutching John's dog in
- 9:49Speaker 1: their fist like they were about to squeeze the life
- 9:51Speaker 1: out of her. And at the same time, the loud
- 9:53Speaker 1: thumping sound that John had run away from into this
- 9:56Speaker 1: room that was coming up the stairs, well, John heard
- 9:59Speaker 1: it thumb up against the door to the bedroom, and
- 10:02Speaker 1: so John realized that must be another attacker. There's two
- 10:05Speaker 1: of them, and now I'm gonna die, And so instinctively
- 10:09Speaker 1: John whipped around and just stared at this door, you know,
- 10:12Speaker 1: getting ready for whoever this was to enter the room.
- 10:15Speaker 2: And as the door.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Began to swing open, John closed his eyes and put
- 10:18Speaker 1: his hands up around his head, you know, bracing for impact.
- 10:21Speaker 2: And he's standing there literally waiting to die. But nothing happens.
- 10:26Speaker 1: And after a few seconds, Johnny he opens his eyes
- 10:28Speaker 1: and he looks around and he smiles. It would turn
- 10:32Speaker 1: out the Monster of Cell Block SE really had escaped
- 10:35Speaker 1: from that state prison during that riot, and after they
- 10:38Speaker 1: got out, they went to John's house. But the Monster
- 10:42Speaker 1: of Cell Block SE was not a dangerous, horrible criminal,
- 10:46Speaker 1: at least not to John. In fact, the Monster of
- 10:49Speaker 1: Cell Block SE was one of John's oldest friends, and
- 10:52Speaker 1: he had broken out of prison for one reason, to
- 10:55Speaker 1: save John and his dog. Immediately after entering the bedroom,
- 10:59Speaker 1: the Monster of Cell Block C leaped onto the attacker
- 11:02Speaker 1: who was holding John's dog hostage and managed to free
- 11:05Speaker 1: the dog. The dog ran to safety, and then the
- 11:08Speaker 1: Monster of Cell Block SEE basically wrestled the attacker onto
- 11:11Speaker 1: the ground and restrain them. And as they did this, John,
- 11:14Speaker 1: who sort of standing off to the side is so relieved.
- 11:17Speaker 1: But also he was suddenly inspired, and he had this
- 11:20Speaker 1: idea that not only would defeat his attacker for good,
- 11:24Speaker 1: but also would keep his friend, the Monster of Cell
- 11:27Speaker 1: Block C, from going back to prison. John turned and
- 11:31Speaker 1: ran out of the bedroom and went into one of
- 11:32Speaker 1: his kids rooms, where he grabbed a frog stuffed animal.
- 11:36Speaker 1: He ripped the head off, and then he went back
- 11:38Speaker 1: into his own bedroom and superglued the froghead onto the
- 11:42Speaker 1: top of his attacker. John's attacker, the one he had
- 11:45Speaker 1: bullied for so many years, who had come back for revenge,
- 11:48Speaker 1: who was in his bedroom emitting pulsing lights and making
- 11:51Speaker 1: dinging sounds and grabbed John's dog by their fist and
- 11:54Speaker 1: held them hostage, was.
- 11:56Speaker 2: None other than the Like Button.
- 11:59Speaker 1: John was actually John Allen aka me mister Ballin.
- 12:04Speaker 2: And with that froghead super glued on.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Top of the light button, now they looked a whole
- 12:08Speaker 1: lot like the Monster of Cell Block C, which of
- 12:11Speaker 1: course was my best friend seagull Lung. And so when
- 12:15Speaker 1: the police showed up a short time later, they carted
- 12:17Speaker 1: away the like Button because they looked like the Monster
- 12:21Speaker 1: of Cell Block C. To this day, the like Button
- 12:23Speaker 1: is still serving out Old Lungy's prison sentence. And as
- 12:27Speaker 1: for Old Seagull Lung, he's somewhere on a beach in Mexico.
- 12:30Speaker 1: And now that the story is over, I can finally.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Say April Fools.
- 12:41Speaker 1: With Lungy now safe on a beach and the like
- 12:43Speaker 1: button serving Lungy's prison sentence, I think it's safe to
- 12:47Speaker 1: say that if you come after one of us, you
- 12:49Speaker 1: face the wrath of both of us. So I have
- 12:52Speaker 1: one thing to say to the like button, and that's
- 12:54Speaker 1: don't touch my frog. And so to celebrate that sentiment,
- 12:57Speaker 1: and to celebrate April Fool's Day, we have an ex
- 13:00Speaker 1: exclusive and limited merch drop. We have this sweet graphic
- 13:04Speaker 1: T shirt that's sort of a reimagining of one of
