  Creepy. Coming up. I think that was Angela getting
• 0:03
  the chills. Did you just take a shot? Or was
• 0:06
  she taking a shot? We just, why? Angela! This
• 0:14
  episode is scaring Angela so bad, she just took
• 0:17
  a shot. You know, we do a lot of talking about
• 0:21
  how one time at a house in Indiana, we handcuffed
• 0:27
  Brianna to a bathtub. And handcuffed Angela to
• 0:31
  a portal closet. I mean, we did turn the experience
• 0:34
  into a short film called Beware the Haunted Bat
• 0:36
  Tubs, which is a very serious look at residual
• 0:40
  energy containment vessels across America. But
• 0:43
  that's a side note. We do a lot of talking about
• 0:46
  that one instance because everyone still to this
• 0:48
  day comments on the TikToks and the short film
• 0:51
  we made. Is she okay? Why is she handcuffed?
• 0:54
  Should I call 911? And it's like... perfectly
• 0:57
  normal yes absolutely normal yeah we were doing
• 1:01
  a solo ghost hunt and decided to uh handcuff
• 1:04
  our friend to a bathtub that's a portal to another
• 1:08
  dimension that's very normal don't ask any follow
• 1:11
  -up questions please don't contact the police
• 1:13
  totally normal uh made me wonder though because
• 1:18
  in the previous episode too angela was saying
• 1:20
  how like a terrifying instance would be to do
• 1:23
  that handcuffing but, like, at a big, massive,
• 1:26
  like, haunted abandoned prison and, like, handcuffed
• 1:29
  to, like, an entire cell block or whatever and
• 1:31
  have people, like, role -playing guards and make
• 1:33
  it really realistic. Yeah. But would that actually
• 1:39
  be the worst -case scenario? Like, you know all
• 1:43
  those things where people are like, craft, make
• 1:46
  your poison, like, craft a dangerous cocktail
• 1:50
  that will fuck you up, right? We're gonna do
• 1:53
  that tonight. What is the recipe for the most
• 1:57
  dangerous, fuck you up, solo investigation cocktail
• 2:01
  that will actually give you one of the elusive,
• 2:05
  always talked about, but we've never experienced
• 2:08
  paranormal hangovers? Oh, God. Welcome to our
• 2:12
  podcast, where we take deep dives looking at
• 2:14
  various topics through a paranormal lens. This
• 2:19
  whole handcuffing thing to haunted bathtubs.
• 2:22
  Then we made a short film about it. Everyone
• 2:25
  says, call 911. This is crazy. What are you doing?
• 2:29
  Is that the worst case scenario? Is there anything
• 2:32
  worse than being left in a place by yourself,
• 2:36
  handcuffed to a portal? I can definitely think
• 2:39
  of a lot more. You can. And we're not discussing
• 2:42
  this so that the other people can take notes,
• 2:44
  right? But by the end of this, we should all
• 2:47
  have an idea on what our most feared... possible
• 2:52
  outcome of a solo investigation challenge would
• 2:54
  be mine is just being solo that's it i don't
• 3:02
  like being doing solos on investigations you
• 3:04
  know i'm also not a big fan of solos but i feel
• 3:07
  like at this point i've done i've i've done some
• 3:11
  pretty scary solos you've done enough where like
• 3:14
  i feel like you can you can be used to it and
• 3:17
  like oh no no No, no, no, no, no, no. There's
• 3:23
  no ever getting used to doing a solo. Literally
• 3:26
  the scariest one I ever did wasn't the handcuffed
• 3:30
  one. It was the solo blindfolded Estes method
• 3:35
  in the basement of Madison Seminary. That was
• 3:40
  terrifying. That was terrifying. Not terrifying
• 3:43
  for us, but terrifying for you. Yeah, terrifying
• 3:46
  for me. Especially since we went back in the
• 3:47
  footage and you had no idea because you were
• 3:49
  blindfolded. In the dark basement. There was
• 3:52
  a bat circling her head the whole time. Yeah.
• 3:55
  Terrifying footage. Terrifying footage. Also
• 3:59
  just terrifying in general. You volunteered.
• 4:02
  Also more terrifying is that I came up with the
• 4:05
  idea and volunteered to do it. I always put myself
• 4:10
  in those circumstances and I don't know why.
• 4:12
  Well, I know it plays into this theme, right?
• 4:15
  What's worse? Like the worst case scenario type
• 4:17
  of thing? Because anytime... we propose a scary
• 4:21
  idea instead of brie saying that's scary she
• 4:26
  instead proposes something mildly less scary
• 4:30
  for her to do alone while we do the even scarier
• 4:34
  thing and then afterwards realizes maybe what
• 4:38
  i did was more scary am i like wrong in that
• 4:41
  because it's every time we say we're gonna we're
• 4:44
  gonna do a you know occult -y ritual type of
• 4:47
  thing. You're like, I'm gonna do a solo, I'm
• 4:49
  gonna be blindfolded in the basement, and get
• 4:53
  shit on by a bat. I didn't get shit on by a bat,
• 4:57
  FYI. I made that one up. Okay, Brianna, though.
• 5:01
  You're like, what does ectoplasmic substance
• 5:03
  on? Yeah, it meant, like, what would you have
• 5:06
  thought if you were just doing the Estus method,
• 5:09
  blindfolded, and you felt something fall on you?
• 5:12
  I would have flipped shit. I would have been
• 5:14
  like, oh my god, something just touched me. And
• 5:17
  then, you know, probably would have ran out of
• 5:19
  there, tripped myself, probably broken a few
• 5:23
  things, and then got into the light and realized,
• 5:27
  oh, that's literally just shit. Oh, that's just
• 5:30
  a bat. So Brianna's solo investigation cocktail
• 5:35
  would include bat shit. Maybe. Damn, you're batshit.
• 5:42
  A bat flying in your mouth. I am batshit. I couldn't
• 5:48
  tell. It kind of glitched there. It kind of glitched.
• 5:50
  Did you say I'm bad shit or I'm batshit? Yes.
• 5:56
  Beware of Brie, guys. She's some bad shit. I
• 6:00
  don't know if that's a good thing or not. The
• 6:03
  short film, we should re -release Beware of the
• 6:05
  Haunted Bat Tubs as Beware of the Bad Shit Haunted
• 6:08
  Bat Tubs. Beware the bad shit bathtubs. There.
• 6:15
  Okay, so we determined Angela doesn't even need
• 6:18
  handcuffs. But also, one of the reasons we did
• 6:23
  the handcuffs, too, wasn't for, like, scary effect.
• 6:26
  It was, like, literally, like... It was for the
• 6:28
  commitment. Commitment. If you don't like doing
• 6:30
  solos, you have to do a solo. So doing a solo
• 6:34
  is scary enough. This forces you to do it. Yeah.
• 6:38
  What would, what is your guys' scariest place
• 6:41
  you think would be to do a solo? I'd say any,
• 6:45
  so the difference between the Madison Seminary
• 6:48
  one and what we're talking about with the handcuffing
• 6:51
  in the state house in Indiana. In Madison, we
• 6:54
  were still on the property. At a state house,
• 6:56
  you were alone in the building. Yeah. So I'd
• 7:00
  say, and this isn't really an answer, but anything
• 7:03
  that involves actually being totally alone. on
• 7:08
  location on location okay i was gonna say for
• 7:11
  myself like location wise doing a solo at a jail
• 7:19
  would be terrifying yeah that would be terrifying
• 7:23
  like dennis you don't you guys know that what
• 7:26
  energy was left behind from those inmates that
• 7:29
  were there exactly exactly That is... How about
• 7:32
  we do this? How about we make one big cauldron
• 7:35
  of one terrible potion? So, so far, our ingredient
• 7:38
  list is a prison that involves, at some point,
• 7:41
  a bat shitting on your head. Yes. So far. And
• 7:45
  you being, like, totally by yourself on location,
• 7:49
  nobody else is on property. Yes. Okay. Are you
• 7:53
  writing this down, Ben? I'm writing this down.
• 7:57
  If we're going with this sort of scenario and
• 7:59
  taking it step by step, I feel like if you're
• 8:05
  in a jail doing a solo, you could potentially
• 8:09
  remove the handcuffs from the situation and lock
• 8:14
  someone in a cell for a solo. I think that would
• 8:17
  be terrifying. Handcuffed in a cell? No, you
• 8:22
  don't even need the handcuffs, I feel like. Just
• 8:25
  locking someone in a cell. Okay. Yeah. That'd
• 8:29
  be so fun. Locked in a cell and then a bat is
• 8:33
  also in the cell shitting on your head? That's
• 8:37
  terrible. Okay. Okay. So let's take it a step
• 8:42
  further now. Flashlight or no flashlight? Do
• 8:45
  you want to see what's happening? I think being
• 8:49
  able to see would be scarier. I also agree with
• 8:55
  that. Because at Madison, when I was blindfolded
• 8:59
  for Estes, I felt like if I could see, it would
• 9:02
  have made things worse. Yeah, because it's like
• 9:04
  you're going to be like someone's going to look
• 9:06
  around the corner at you or something like that.
• 9:08
  Especially at prison, you got all the cells.
• 9:10
  If you shine the light the wrong way, cast a
• 9:13
  shadow. I think having a light would be scarier.
• 9:18
  It's always the shadows. But what would be scarier?
• 9:22
  Because if you're blindfolded, you gotta have
• 9:25
  the handcuffs. You can't just be blindfolded
• 9:27
  walking around. Yeah. Or they'd actually be funny.
• 9:31
  Or tie your hands around your back. Straight
• 9:33
  jacket! Straight jacket and blindfold. So you
• 9:36
  can still walk around and bump into shit. Oh
• 9:38
  my gosh. Straight jacket. No. Like, that's just
• 9:45
  a hazard at that point. Okay, so we gotta...
• 9:50
  We gotta be a little more grounded here. What's
• 9:53
  a hazard and what's actually safe? But, okay.
• 9:58
  Blindfolded and restrained, be it straight jacket,
• 10:01
  handcuff, whatever, or a flashlight, what's scarier?
• 10:04
  Blindfold or a light? Oh. I'd say having a light
• 10:09
  is probably scarier because of the shadow factor.
• 10:16
  I do agree. You can trick yourself into believing
• 10:19
  you're... Like, if you don't have the assist
• 10:21
  thing set up, and you just have a blindfold,
• 10:24
  you can fall asleep, close your eyes, force yourself
• 10:27
  to forget. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so, this sounds
• 10:33
  weird, maybe to other people, but in our scariest
• 10:37
  solo scenario, I added a note, you are allowed
• 10:40
  a flashlight. Because to us, that makes it scarier.
• 10:47
  Okay. Equipment. Do you have equipment? Do you
• 10:51
  not have equipment? I would say having... It
• 10:59
  depends on the equipment. Yeah, it depends on
• 11:01
  the equipment. So what would the scariest...
• 11:04
  I think... Anything that produces... Having either
• 11:10
  that or something that detects like... Is a sensory
• 11:17
  detector like a cat ball or a REM pod, like something
• 11:20
  that tells you that there's something there.
• 11:23
  Like, say you're locked in a jail cell and you
• 11:26
  have cat balls lining the hallway and you see
• 11:29
  them slowly light up one by one coming in your
• 11:33
  direction. Yeah. It gave me goosebumps. Cat balls
• 11:39
  and REM pods line the hallway and then you have
• 11:42
  an EMF meter in the cell? I wouldn't say EMF
• 11:47
  meter. That's not going to be scary. A spirit
• 11:50
  box. Would the spirit box static overpowering
• 11:55
  everything else be scarier or less scarier than
• 11:59
  silence? I feel like that's one of the things
• 12:02
  with the spirit box. One of its downsides and
• 12:05
  one of its good sides is it creates white noise
• 12:08
  so you can't hear a lot of everything else. It's
• 12:11
  the same thing as wearing the blindfold. If you
• 12:14
  can't see it, you can pretend it's not there.
• 12:16
  If you can't hear anything except for the white
• 12:19
  static, you can pretend nothing else is going
• 12:21
  on. So having a filtered spirit box or ovulus
• 12:27
  that gives you words is going to be scarier than
• 12:30
  just the white noise spirit box. For simplicity,
• 12:34
  I just put a word generator device in the cell,
• 12:36
  just sort of over -explaining. But I do agree.
• 12:40
  Um, so I do agree the scariest thing possible
• 12:43
  would be things that detect motion in the hallway,
• 12:47
  like cat balls and REM pods. That would be terrifying.
• 12:50
  And then in the cell itself is something that
• 12:53
  would just spit out words or phrases. Yeah. Um,
• 12:58
  okay. But other than that, it's just ambient
• 13:01
  sound. Yeah. So you can hear something walks
• 13:03
  up to you. That would be... That's the ambient
• 13:06
  noises. I mean, of course, of course, in this
• 13:08
  situation, you'd probably have like a video camera
• 13:11
  or like a voice recorder. I would say yes. You
• 13:16
  want to record the whole thing like that's that's
• 13:20
  one of the things with solos is like it didn't
• 13:22
  happen unless you have proof. So well, but I'd
• 13:27
  wager what you're locked in a cell. Would we
• 13:30
  set up two cameras? both outside the cell one
• 13:33
  pointing in one out or would it be because i
• 13:37
  think it would be less scary if you are allowed
• 13:41
  to have a camera that you're holding and you're
• 13:43
  pointing around and that adds light and you can
• 13:45
  just talk yeah i know i don't think you should
• 13:48
  have the camera i think it should be like outside
• 13:52
  the cell you can have the voice recorder in the
• 13:56
  cell with you though yeah yes but i wrote down
• 14:00
  that Cameras themselves outside the cell. Okay,
• 14:04
  so it is being filmed, but you can't access the
• 14:07
  cameras themselves. Which, that's so terrifying
• 14:11
  because if you see the camera shut off or something,
• 14:14
  that would be so scary. If the cat balls start
• 14:19
  going off one by one approaching the camera,
• 14:22
  then the camera dies and you can't reach the
• 14:24
  camera or do anything about it. And as it's a
• 14:26
  little bit of ambient light, then now you lose.
• 14:31
  Yeah. Exactly. Creepy. What was that, Ang? Was
• 14:36
  that like a scared? I think that was Angela getting
• 14:40
  the chills. Did you just take a shot? Or was
• 14:43
  she taking a shot? We just, why? Angela! This
• 14:51
  episode is scaring Angela so bad. She just took
• 14:54
  a shot. What did you take a shot of? She could
• 14:59
  barely drink it. Look at her face. Why do you
• 15:02
  think this is good? This is like spicy water.
• 15:07
  It doesn't even taste like whiskey. It's whiskey.
• 15:10
  It's the cheapest Canadian whiskey you can get,
• 15:13
  but it goes down smooth. It's like water. Yeah,
• 15:16
  it's like water, but it doesn't have that itchiness
• 15:24
  of whiskey. It's too watery. I don't know. I
• 15:29
  don't know how else to describe it. Like, oh,
• 15:31
  God, that was, like, not a good taste. That was,
• 15:33
  like, watered -down whiskey. Like, giving that
• 15:36
  pure stuff, that's, like, almost easier and tastes
• 15:39
  better. Should I add to this cocktail, then,
• 15:41
  cheap Canadian whiskey? Oh, God, yeah. No, because
• 15:46
  you can't have something to settle the nerves
• 15:49
  for you. No, you take two shots of cheap Canadian
• 15:53
  whiskey before you get locked in. Okay. Or would
• 15:56
  that make it less scary? That would give you
• 15:58
  a boost of confidence. Yeah. A non -alcoholic
• 16:03
  Canadian spice. Canadian spice whiskey. Better
• 16:08
  yet, let's just get an IV going with some whiskey.
• 16:11
  Get it right in your blood. If we were at like
• 16:15
  a haunted hospital, that'd be... It's not realistic
• 16:19
  for a prison. No. Okay. Speaking of... It's a
• 16:25
  prison. Should we really lean into the idea of,
• 16:28
  okay, how can we make this the most terrifying
• 16:32
  traumatic experience possible for the person
• 16:34
  doing the solo? Should we have at one random
• 16:36
  point during their solo, someone pretending to
• 16:40
  be a guard come in and start banging on cells
• 16:42
  without them knowing? No. Why? I think having
• 16:48
  a mirror in the room facing you. wait let's go
• 16:53
  back to the guy being the the guy is that too
• 16:55
  scary scary kind of ruins ruins the effect of
• 16:58
  the solo i mean you could do that like when you're
• 17:02
  closing them in be like have as as they're leaving
• 17:06
  like to stir up activity yeah that's a good idea
• 17:09
  i don't think having someone come in in the middle
• 17:12
  of the solo would make sense okay so just no
• 17:17
  distractions you're completely alone no one but
• 17:21
  having a mirror in the cell i think having a
• 17:24
  mirror in the cell let it face you the whole
• 17:26
  time like that i don't like that and that probably
• 17:30
  is like the reason why it's got to be added to
• 17:33
  the list yeah that's the point that's the point
• 17:35
  okay um live stream or no live stream uh no live
• 17:42
  stream no live stream because I felt comfort
• 17:46
  when I had a live stream. Yeah, no live stream.
• 17:49
  It felt like I had people with me. You could
• 17:51
  do a live stream that's, like, so you can't see
• 17:55
  the phone. Like, they're watching you, but they
• 17:57
  can't see the phone. But then you can't, like,
• 17:59
  comment on what's going on. People are just going
• 18:02
  to watch you. People ask questions. Even still,
• 18:05
  like, for me especially, especially during that.
• 18:11
  like going back thinking about that live it's
• 18:13
  like you build a script for yourself and like
• 18:16
  it makes gives you comfort that oh i'm talking
• 18:19
  to people like no matter what you're talking
• 18:23
  to people so like as long as you're talking it
• 18:26
  tricks your brain into thinking that oh okay
• 18:28
  i'm fine yes plus you knew we were watching on
• 18:33
  the other end of the live stream in this scenario
• 18:35
  even though like i don't know why i'm saying
• 18:39
  brie in this case is doing a solo um but if brie
• 18:43
  was doing a solo would she have access to like
• 18:47
  talk to it would we would we even know what's
• 18:50
  going on or is it just a case of we'll be back
• 18:53
  in 30 minutes regardless that's a good question
• 18:57
  because i feel like you've got to have a safeguard
• 19:00
  of that's of like like something Like, in case
• 19:05
  of, like, worst case scenario, you gotta have
• 19:07
  some way to reach each other. We're on the phone,
• 19:12
  but the phone is outside the cell? I don't know.
• 19:17
  Either that or just, no, like, 30 minutes solo
• 19:20
  and we'll come back. Hopefully nobody dies. Well,
• 19:26
  if they do, that's... They can continue the investigation.
• 19:33
  Oh my gosh. Come on. I was totally baiting Angela
• 19:41
  to say something. That was totally an Angela
• 19:43
  sort of... I'm having a hard time focusing. My
• 19:47
  mind's too, like, busy. You know? There's a reason
• 19:54
  I took a shot. I feel like that would have made
• 19:57
  it worse. Yeah. I don't think so. Do you remember
• 20:00
  the last time you drank on this? You were just...
• 20:03
  Talking about Bigfoot being the Antichrist. Okay,
• 20:07
  so no one should die. I'm sorry I tried prompting
• 20:10
  Angela to interject with one of her Angela -isms.
• 20:13
  Are you talking about, like, when you said, like,
• 20:16
  imagine if you, like, you shouldn't do this,
• 20:19
  but, like, imagine if someone dies or gets killed
• 20:22
  and then you do some, like, ghost hunting. Like,
• 20:25
  what kind of activity would that stir up? There
• 20:30
  we go. That's what I wanted. There we go. That's
• 20:32
  what we were looking for. I knew if you just
• 20:34
  planted a seed, Angela would just be like, ooh,
• 20:36
  okay. This is a hypothetical. Like, what if,
• 20:39
  you guys? What if? What if in an extreme scenario?
• 20:42
  I don't want to encourage it, but if someone
• 20:44
  got murdered. Murdered. Murdered. Murder me,
• 20:53
  please. Nobody said that. Okay. Okay, I do almost
• 21:01
  daily say either I need to be euthanized or please
• 21:05
  take me out back and shoot me. Brianna! Who do
• 21:12
  you tell that to? My coworkers. Well, I'm glad
• 21:16
  they're nice people. Tell the wrong person that
• 21:19
  and you're dead. True. Ange, we sound drunker
• 21:24
  than you do. What's going on? God, I'm just distracted.
• 21:29
  It's all the ghosts in the apartment. She's like
• 21:34
  a dog. The dogs say, squirrel, squirrel. She's
• 21:37
  like, ghost, ghost. What do we have so far? So
• 21:41
  far, we have you're in a prison completely alone.
• 21:48
  No contact with anybody permitted. You're locked
• 21:51
  in a cell. All cameras are outside the cell.
• 21:55
  No live stream. You are allowed to have a flashlight.
• 21:59
  There are capos and rampods in the hallway. You
• 22:02
  have a word generator device in the cell with
• 22:05
  you. There's also a mirror in the cell. And at
• 22:09
  some point, a bat shits on your head. The scariest
• 22:18
  solo we could come up with. At some point, the
• 22:19
  fat shits on your head. This is our creation.
• 22:26
  Is there anything else to add that would make
• 22:30
  it scarier? We gather a group on the outside
• 22:34
  and we do some sort of ritual to summon a scary...
• 22:40
  uh entity yeah we keep baiting angela but she's
• 22:45
  so like distracted by ghosts that she's not yeah
• 22:48
  but you like you do that to like make like have
• 22:53
  the most scariest entity come into how about
• 22:56
  no why no because it's just stupid or it would
• 23:00
  make it scarier yes both completely alone however
• 23:11
  A coven is hired to conduct a conjuring ritual
• 23:18
  on the grounds while the solo is performed. Yes.
• 23:25
  Oh, boy. Oh, correction. A random coven. A random
• 23:30
  coven. Oh, okay. We don't know what that coven's
• 23:35
  all about. A random coven that has not been vetted
• 23:37
  or we even know anyone in. It's a Craigslist
• 23:40
  coven. I was literally adding a random Facebook
• 23:43
  marketplace coven. No, no, no. You can't even
• 23:46
  do Facebook marketplace. It's gotta be Craigslist.
• 23:49
  Yeah, it gotta be Craigslist. A random Craigslist
• 23:52
  coven is hired to conduct a conjuring ritual
• 23:55
  on the grounds while the solo is performed. Oh,
• 24:00
  gosh. The coven is instructed to wear orange
• 24:09
  jumpsuits simulating escaped prisoners. God,
• 24:21
  what else could we do? It's gotta be on a night
• 24:29
  of a new moon so there is no extra light. A new
• 24:33
  moon at 3 a .m. Ooh, yeah, time. 3 a .m. 3 a
• 24:38
  .m. Though, honestly, the 3 a .m. thing, I feel
• 24:41
  like whenever we do investigations, that's when
• 24:46
  we get the amount of activity. There's nothing
• 24:46
  then! That's so true. It's always between 10
• 24:50
  and midnight. Okay, so 11? 11 .30. 11 .30. Goes
• 24:55
  into midnight. Yes. Because we always get that
• 24:58
  big jump at midnight. Yeah. So 11. Not at 3.
• 25:03
  Yeah, it's pretty quiet. Yeah. We can do 11 .33.
• 25:09
  11 .33. Our scariest solo investigation takes
• 25:14
  place at 11 .33pm on a new moon. When should
• 25:21
  the bat sit on your head? 12 .33. At midnight?
• 25:28
  A bat? Well, we can't plan when the bat shit's
• 25:31
  gonna happen. No, no, we just gotta keep... You
• 25:33
  gotta stay in the cell until the bat shit. I
• 25:38
  just thought of something. I just thought of
• 25:40
  something that you guys would absolutely hate.
• 25:44
  What? Having Boo Buddy. Oh my god, no. Boo Buddy
• 25:50
  right out of reach outside the cell? Yeah, I
• 25:53
  wouldn't mind that. That wouldn't make me scared.
• 25:56
  That would just make me angry. But that would
• 25:58
  feed it. Yeah, and you know Boo Buddy says those
• 26:01
  creepy, like, little kid voice things at random
• 26:04
  times. I'm adding it. We know your hatred for
• 26:09
  Boo Buddy, and I share the sentiments, Angela,
• 26:12
  so I'm adding this, because I know it would frustrate
• 26:14
  me to the point it would heighten my anxiety.
• 26:17
  That's fair. That's fair. Gosh. Cat balls and
• 26:22
  REM pods line the hallway. Boo Buddy. Is just
• 26:26
  out of reach. Is just out of reach. And cannot
• 26:29
  be turned off. So annoying. Good question Angela
• 26:35
  alluded to. What? How long is the solo? I'd say
• 26:39
  max 30 minutes. But this is a scarier scenario.
• 26:44
  I'm just thinking practical. Should we just say
• 26:48
  30 minutes then? No, I do think it should be
• 26:51
  30 minutes because all activity happens in like...
• 26:55
  a 20 30 minute time frame and then it starts
• 26:59
  dwindling out that's usually how the patterns
• 27:03
  go okay what if you round up a little bit starts
• 27:07
  at 11 33 we get you at 12 15. so 45 minutes 45
• 27:12
  yeah that seems good I'm just imagining. I mean,
• 27:20
  my solo at the State House was around that long
• 27:23
  for 45 minutes, I'd say. I'm just trying to imagine
• 27:28
  spending that amount of time in a haunted cell.
• 27:35
  Ugh. I couldn't even do 20 minutes in the basement
• 27:38
  of Madison. Is there anything else we can make
• 27:42
  this, like, even scarier by adding? Like, is
• 27:45
  there anything possible? Ooh, I did have an idea
• 27:51
  that just flashed across my brain. What if instead
• 27:54
  of a flashlight, you had candles, like a candle
• 27:59
  and matches? Because that would constantly have
• 28:03
  moving light. I think having a light that randomly
• 28:08
  just flashes in that general area would be pretty
• 28:13
  damn scary. A flashlight is programmed? To just
• 28:16
  shut off, like just turn on and off in five minute
• 28:19
  intervals or something where it goes on for five
• 28:21
  minutes and you're without it for five. No, I
• 28:23
  was not even thinking that. I'm just thinking
• 28:25
  like, just on and off, on and off. Just like
• 28:30
  that once in a while. Because it's just like,
• 28:33
  you just have your eyes open, you're in the pitch
• 28:35
  black. And then all of a sudden it's like, and
• 28:38
  then you see everything around you. And then
• 28:40
  I'm picturing like. The possessed nun, like,
• 28:44
  standing in the door. I'm thinking, what that's
• 28:46
  making me think of, like, is, like, one of those
• 28:49
  shutter lights that's constantly flashing. Like,
• 28:52
  a rave light. Oh god, that sounds even worse.
• 28:55
  That would be terrible. That would be even worse.
• 29:00
  What's worse, that? Like, a rave light? What's
• 29:02
  that, is that, like, the proper term? I have
• 29:05
  no idea. Well, but it's like a strobe light,
• 29:07
  right? A strobe light! Yeah, a strobe light.
• 29:09
  There we go. Strobe light or old school... Realistically,
• 29:15
  we probably wouldn't be allowed to have a real
• 29:17
  candle in an old building, but like a fake candle
• 29:21
  or a strobe light. What would it be? Yeah, a
• 29:24
  fake candle wouldn't work. There's no point in
• 29:28
  the fake candle. It's just strobe light, yeah.
• 29:32
  You're allowed a flashlight, but it's a strobe
• 29:35
  light. So you have the option, be in the pitch
• 29:39
  black or turn on the strobe light. I think that
• 29:41
  makes it scarier. Yeah. Any other additions,
• 29:45
  or is this kind of like the... No, I think that's
• 29:48
  pretty terrifying. I don't know what could make
• 29:50
  that scarier. Let me repeat this. So, there's
• 29:56
  a haunted prison. The bigger, the better. You
• 29:59
  are completely alone inside the prison. However,
• 30:02
  on the grounds of the prison... A random Craigslist
• 30:05
  coven is hired to conduct a ritual on the grounds.
• 30:09
  They are instructed to wear orange jumpsuits
• 30:12
  to simulate escaped prisoners. We start the solo
• 30:16
  at 11 .33pm on a new moon when we lock whoever's
• 30:20
  doing the solo in the cell, and we enter the
• 30:25
  building to get them 45 minutes later at 12 .15.
• 30:28
  All cameras are outside the cell, no livestream
• 30:31
  or phone. No contact with anyone on the outside.
• 30:35
  You are allowed to have a flashlight, but it's
• 30:37
  a strobe light. There are cat balls and REM pods
• 30:39
  lining the hallway, and Boo Buddy is just out
• 30:41
  of reach and cannot be turned off. There's a
• 30:44
  word generator device in the cell with you, as
• 30:47
  well as a mirror. And we purposefully place a
• 30:51
  bat in the cell in hopes that it shits on your
• 30:53
  head. My only question remaining. Sounds so good.
• 30:59
  What should the threshold be? How many listens
• 31:03
  does this episode need to get for us to make
• 31:07
  this a reality? 100 ,000. 100 ,000? Oh, I was
• 31:13
  thinking like a realistic. Realistic? No, I don't
• 31:17
  want to do this. What are you talking about?
• 31:20
  We're not going to get 100 ,000 listens. Yeah,
• 31:22
  that's impossible. I'd say 1 ,000. If we get
• 31:26
  1 ,000. 1 ,000 by a certain day. Okay. I think
• 31:32
  even, like, I think a thousand is still a lot
• 31:35
  if you guys are trying to be realistic. You guys,
• 31:40
  you say you guys as if, like, you're not included
• 31:43
  in this. Four hundred. I was even gonna go lower
• 31:48
  than that being realistic. Three fifty. I'd say
• 31:53
  one fifty. No, we could get that. We could get
• 31:57
  that. We average. In the 40 to 60 range per episode.
• 32:04
  So that's double? No. It's got to be at least
• 32:07
  500. Okay. No, I wouldn't say 500. Yeah, let's
• 32:11
  say 400. 400, and we play Jenga, and someone
• 32:16
  has to do a solo in a jail. So when's this coming
• 32:21
  out? Oh, bright computer. Okay, this is coming
• 32:24
  out. Next week on. July 30th. So if by. September
• 32:33
  1st. This episode has. 400 listens. We will do
• 32:39
  a. Live streamed. Jenga game. We'll do best 2
• 32:45
  out of 3. Live. And by the end of. The year.
• 32:52
  If possible. At least one year from the date
• 32:55
  of the recording. We will. book a big abandoned
• 32:59
  haunted prison and make this a reality. Ugh.
• 33:05
  I'm just, uh, because I'm going to end up losing
• 33:08
  Jenga. You're the one that said 400! I said 1
• 33:13
  ,000! Well, I said 100 ,000 and you guys said,
• 33:17
  no, you gotta be more realistic. Because we're
• 33:19
  not getting 100 ,000. If we said 100 ,000, Taben's
• 33:23
  going to be out there sharing this 5 million
• 33:25
  times for no reason. Think about Taven. Poor
• 33:28
  Taven. At least give him a purpose in life. Come
• 33:32
  on. He's gonna be sharing this and then he's
• 33:35
  like, why am I even sharing this? There's no
• 33:37
  point. Not even Taven knows 100 ,000 people.
• 33:43
  I'm gonna lose, Jenga. Now, if every episode
• 33:48
  of Malice in the Mitten was a person, we would
• 33:51
  have 100 ,000 votes. They have a lot of episodes.
• 33:55
  Yeah. Oh, goodness. Especially if you add up
• 33:59
  everything on the XL network. Okay. So enough
• 34:07
  babbling. We need to make it clear. Everyone
• 34:10
  that's still listening, you are the November
• 34:12
  fans. If you want us in November, we'll do it
• 34:16
  in November just for you. If you want a November
• 34:20
  live stream, a special two out of three Jenga
• 34:23
  match live only for you. We'll give a Zoom link
• 34:26
  only to the November fans to watch that will
• 34:30
  determine who, within a year's time, will do
• 34:33
  this terrifying solo in the prison while a coven
• 34:36
  is outside. We'll play it straight. We'll even
• 34:39
  find a Craigslist coven. We'll let ChatGPT write
• 34:44
  the Craigslist post. Get this to 400 listens
• 34:53
  by September 1st. And September 1st is a Tuesday.
• 35:03
  So got a couple weeks to do it. If we do somehow
• 35:08
  get enough listens, we will record an announcement
• 35:11
  on that Tuesday, September 1st, to post as that
• 35:15
  week's episode saying, fuck Bree, you're fucked.
• 35:21
  Okay, step outside of yourselves for a moment.
• 35:26
  just think as like an objective third party who
• 35:30
  would be the best so like who would contribute
• 35:34
  or create the best footage to watch back like
• 35:38
  who would make for the best solo on a playback
• 35:41
  not me i feel like you brianna I feel like Ben
• 35:51
  or I would probably do... I'm glad that everyone
• 35:55
  agrees it's not me. Yeah, we were just like,
• 35:58
  it better not be Ange. I hope it's Brie. No!
• 36:02
  Just for that, I hope it's you, Ben. Well, you
• 36:05
  know I'm just gonna, like... Something's gonna
• 36:07
  happen, and I'm gonna say afterwards, like, yeah,
• 36:09
  I think I saw, like, an alien, you guys. And
• 36:11
  then we're gonna have a whole podcast about,
• 36:13
  like, my alien sighting, and then you guys are
• 36:15
  gonna be like, eh, this Ben guy's kinda nuts.
• 36:17
  I just saw an alien. God, I hope it doesn't get
• 36:21
  400 listens. I'm not gonna listen to that episode.
• 36:25
  I've listened to every single episode so far,
• 36:28
  just, like, as a refresher, because I don't remember
• 36:30
  what we talked about by the time that the episodes
• 36:33
  come out. And... I'm not going to listen to that
• 36:36
  episode because I don't want to add to the total.
• 36:40
  You're that scared? I mean, that was the point
• 36:44
  of the episode. I do not want to end up having
• 36:48
  to do a solo in a haunted jail cell. But we know.
• 36:54
  Angela's not on right now. Should we form a pact
• 36:56
  right now that if this happens, if either of
• 37:00
  us loses, we make it in the moment a best three
• 37:03
  out of five? Just so that... So we'll make a
• 37:07
  pact right now, okay? Angela's gonna lose this.
• 37:12
  She's not on right now. It's 3 out of 5. Anyways,
• 37:17
  continue. Sorry, I just wanted to get that out.
• 37:20
  Angela's gonna lose, no matter what. I was gonna
• 37:22
  say... What are you talking about? We didn't
• 37:28
  say anything. Thanks for listening to this week's
• 37:32
